The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 441 Chapter 440 West Wind (7)

In just one round, Jiang Chao was captured alive by Ma Chao. Such a scene made the horse thieves onlookers sigh, and their hearts were filled with awe of Ma Chao. They knew that Ma Chao was powerful, but they didn't expect Ma Chao to be so powerful.

Ma Chao casually put the tip of his spear against Jiang Chao's throat, quickly scanned the surrounding horse thieves with his sharp eyes, and then sternly shouted to Jiang Chao: "Let them all disperse!"

Jiang Chao is not a person who is afraid of death, his skills are not as good as others, and he was captured alive in front of all his brothers, and he can't hold back his face. If he is greedy for life and afraid of death, then his image among brothers in the past will be destroyed.

"Hmph! I'm not as skilled as others, and I have nothing to say. Since you've captured me, you can kill me or kill me!" Jiang Chao said pretending to be calm.

Seeing this, Ma Chao smiled and said, "I don't think you're still a man!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Chao casually threw Jiang Chao aside, and Jiang Chao fell off the horse directly, fell heavily on the ground, and turned over twice.At this time, the soldiers behind Ma Chao rushed towards Jiang Chao with the ropes they had prepared, and tied Jiang Chao up.

At this time, Ma Chao held Jiang Chao's neck with a spear, and shouted at the horse thieves: "If you don't want him to die, take me to see your king!"

The horse thieves looked at each other for a while, but no one moved, and a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

Ma Chao said, "What? Do you really want him to die?"

As he said that, Ma Chao's spear became more powerful, and the sharp point of the spear was about to pierce into Jiang Chao's flesh. As long as he exerted a little force, the point of the spear would pierce in and directly release Jiang Chao's blood.

"What do you want to see our king for?" Jiang Chao swallowed nervously and asked.

Ma Chao said: "Don't do anything, discuss something with him!"

Jiang Chao said, "What is it?"

"You don't care about anything. I will naturally tell your king when I see you!" Ma Chao said.

Jiang Chao said: "I am the king you are looking for!"

After Ma Chao heard this, he immediately turned his head, looked at Jiang Chao suspiciously, and asked, "Are you the king of horse thieves entrenched in Heli Mountain?"

"What? Isn't it like?" Jiang Chao said.

Ma Chao laughed hahaha, and said, "It's really hard to find anywhere, and it's easy to get here! I didn't expect the person I was looking for to be right in front of my eyes. Are you really Jiang Chao?"

Jiang Chao admitted: "I'm not like Li Guang, I am me, I am Jiang Chao. If you don't want to change your name or surname, Jiang Chao is me."

"Okay, okay, okay! Since the person I'm looking for is already here, let's talk!" Ma Chao jumped off his horse and threw the spear in his hand on the ground, and the spear stood straight on the ground. The root is about half a foot into the ground, which shows its amazing arm strength.

It was the first time for Jiang Chao to meet such a powerful person. Even the Liqian people he knew were not as powerful as the person in front of him. He couldn't help but swallowed, and said with some trepidation: "Talk... what are you talking about?"

Ma Chao said: "I have already inquired about you. I know that your ancestors were the officials of the Han Dynasty. Because they were framed and did not want to be slaughtered, they came here to become bandits. Moreover, although you are horse thieves , but they often do things like robbing the rich and helping the poor. You can be regarded as a righteous thief. They are not the same as Li Guang from Nanshan. Because of this, I didn't kill you with a single shot just now, but chose to capture you alive You, want to make a deal with Jiang Chao. But whoever thinks, you are Jiang Chao."

After Jiang Chao heard this, he frowned. Seeing that Ma Chao was handsome and mighty, and his armor was distinctive, he seemed to be from the army, so he asked curiously, "Why are you trying so hard to find me?" For what, and, who are you?"

Ma Chao said modestly: "My surname is Ma, my first name is Chao, and my name is Mengqi..."

Before Ma Chao finished speaking, Jiang Chao's face immediately showed surprise, and he hurriedly interrupted Ma Chao's words, asking, "Are you Ma Chao?"

Ma Chao nodded.

Jiang Chao looked at Ma Chao again, and asked with both surprise and joy: "You... are you really Ma Chao? The Ma Chao who was hailed by the Qiang people as the mighty general?"

Wang Shuang said impatiently: "My lord, if not Ma Chao, who could it be? Looking at the entire Liangzhou, who else can be more handsome than my lord? The name of Jin Ma Chao is definitely well-deserved!"

The person standing in front of Jiang Chao can capture him alive in one round. This kind of force is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people. Apart from the mighty and invincible Heavenly General Ma Chao, who else can have such a great ability? ?
Jiang Chao no longer doubted it, but he had a question in his heart. To him, Ma Chao was a god-like existence. Such a legendary figure appeared in front of him, but he came to find him. So Ma Chao looked for him. What is he doing?
Ma Chao's name had already spread throughout Liangzhou, and even the four remote Hexi counties had heard of Ma Chao's name, all of which had to be thanks to some Qiang people.Because it was the Qiang people who spread the legend of Ma Chao to every corner of Liangzhou, and even in the Western Regions outside Liangzhou, Ma Chao's name was also circulated.Ma Chao's prestige can spread wherever the Qiang people can reach.

Jiang Chao is just a person who admires Ma Chao very much. For him, Ma Chao is his idol. Now that his idol is standing in front of him, how can he not be happy?
"Heaven... General Tian, ​​I have always admired you, but I have never had the chance to meet you. I, Jiang Chao, am so lucky to meet General Tian here today. However, I don't quite understand why General Tian Looking for me?" Jiang Chao asked excitedly.

"I'm going to Dunhuang. On the way, I heard about the situation here. It is said that horse thieves are rampant in this area and often rob merchants. I will come to find out. If you are really a righteous thief like the rumors If so, then I am going to take you into my subordinates and let you correct your evil ways. From now on, follow me and use your abilities in the army. If you are not worthy of your name, then I can only kill you to solve this problem The trouble of horse thieves in the area." Ma Chao said slowly.

Jiang Chao asked curiously: "What did the general mean that day...kill me, or prepare to include me as your subordinate?"

Ma Chao said: "Through my observation of you, I found that you are really different from Li Guang and the others, and you have the spirit of preferring death to surrender. I value you very much, so I want to include you as my subordinate. From now on, You horse thief in Heli Mountain is my Ma Chao's army! But, I wonder if you are willing to join my army and become a small village chief?"

"Let's not talk about being the head of the village, even if I'm just a soldier, I'm willing! My lord, please accept Jiang Chao's bow!" Excited, Jiang Chao immediately bowed down to Ma Chao.

Seeing this, Ma Chao laughed, and helped Jiang Chao up himself. The fight ended, and some subordinates were recruited.

Later, Jiang Chao led the way, welcomed Ma Chao into his Heli Mountain village, and held a grand welcome ceremony. In the village on Heli Mountain, there were only 1000 horse thieves, but there were more than [-] people. The property Jiang Chao and the others got from the robbery was basically distributed equally to every household. These people were all taken in by Jiang Chao one by one. Heli Mountain has become a small town.

Moreover, Ma Chao could tell that these people were very enthusiastic about Jiang Chao, and they also loved Jiang Chao very much, which showed that Jiang Chao had indeed done good things.

During the banquet, Jiang Chao's two cousins, Jiang Jiong and Jiang Yue, accompanied each other. Because of Ma Chao's arrival, everyone was very happy. Who wouldn't want to see the legendary Heavenly General?

After drinking for three rounds, for some reason, everyone mentioned Li Guang's subordinates. The Jiang brothers hated Li Guang's subordinates very much and were very excited. They cursed Li Guang. Although Li Guang was dead, they still could not contact him. The Jiang brothers' hatred for Li Guang.

Afterwards, after unanimous discussion, everyone decided that tomorrow Ma Chao would lead them to Nanshan to exterminate Li Guang's remnants and restore peace to the Silk Road.

Early the next morning, Jiang Chao assembled his team. Jiang Jiong and Jiang Yue ordered their own soldiers and horses, followed Jiang Chao, and gathered in an open space outside the cottage.

And Ma Chao also asked Wang Shuang to assemble a team, and together with Yang Fu, led Jiang Chao's team to Nanshan to exterminate the horse thieves.

Nanshan is Qilian Mountain, and the bandits entrenched here are all Li Guang's remnants. After Li Guang's death, the third brother Li Li took over all the tribe. Chao led the people to come here.

Therefore, Li Li led his troops to fight, lined up the soldiers and horses under Qilian Mountain, and waited quietly for the arrival of Jiang Chao and others.

Li Li's tribe is much larger than that of Jiang Chao's. There are about 500 people. They are scattered all over the mountains and plains. In some places, flags are deliberately displayed to give people the illusion that he has many people.

When Ma Chao led Wang Shuang, Yang Fu, Jiang Chao, Jiang Jiong, Jiang Yue and others to the foot of Qilian Mountain, he was surprised to see the horse thieves all over the mountains and plains. He never expected that there would be so many horse thieves here. .

However, soon Ma Chao and Yang Fu observed a clue, thinking that this was a bluff by the horse thieves to confuse them.

Therefore, Yang Fu suggested to Ma Chao, let Jiang Chao go forward to challenge, and then deliberately feigned defeat, lured the enemy to go deep, and beheaded Li Li with superior forces.

Jiang Chao acted according to his plan, and single-handedly went to challenge Li Li, Li Li did not show weakness, and went out to fight with Jiang Chao. After several rounds of fighting with Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao feigned defeat and left. Li Li didn't know what to do, so he chased after him. In the end, he was stabbed to death by Ma Chao, and his subordinates suddenly lost their heads, and scattered like birds and beasts.

Instead of chasing the horse thief, Ma Chao went straight to the Qilian Mountains and set fire to the horse thief's stronghold, leaving the horse thief nowhere to go.

In the following two days, Ma Chao sent people to hunt down the horse thieves, captured many of them, and brought them all back to Lishan. After revealing their identities, those horse thieves expressed their surrender to Ma Chao.

As a result, the two groups of horse thieves in the Hexi Corridor were all suppressed by Ma Chao. Jiang Chao and others temporarily stopped at Heli Mountain, and Ma Chao led Wang Shuang, Yang Fu and others to continue westward and head straight for Dunhuang.
