The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445 Chapter 444 West Wind (11)

"Prefect Suo, I traveled a long distance and came to Dunhuang just to see him. But who would have thought that being famous is not as good as meeting him? It turns out that Prefect Suo is also a person who seeks fame and fame, and even more so, a traitor. !" Ma Chao couldn't hold back any longer, stood up immediately, and spoke out loudly what he was thinking.

Suo Guang had noticed Ma Chao from the very beginning, but he had never spoken to Ma Chao. At this time, Ma Chao suddenly said these words, making his eyes fixed on Ma Chao again.The person standing in front of him was a suave, handsome and strong man. Under the sword eyebrows, there was a pair of sharp and deep black eyes, which one couldn't see through at a glance.

Listening to the words, Suo Guang felt that the origin of this person did not seem to be very simple, and he was well-informed. He could tell what kind of person he had never seen before. The person standing in front of him should not be Yang Fu's entourage is so simple.

So, Suo Guang asked: "Mr. Yishan, this strong man is..."

Yang Fu didn't intend to hide any more, and immediately said: "To tell you the truth, this is Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, who was hailed by the Qiang people as the general of the gods, and now he is my lord!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a strange light in Suo Guang's eyes. Although he lived in Dunhuang for a long time, Ma Chao's name was already famous in Liangzhou, and his reputation had already been greatly shaken. Even in the most remote places, as long as he was a Qiang Wherever people have been, Ma Chao's heroic legend has been spread there.

"So it's General Ma! Suo is disrespectful and disrespectful!" Suo Guang hastily clasped his fists at Ma Chao respectfully.

Warriors generally rarely gain the respect of literati, unless the warrior has done something earth-shattering and admirable to literati.It is just that Ma Chao is such a warrior. He single-handedly broke into the army of tens of thousands of Qiang people, relied on his personal bravery, assassinated the Qiang king in one fell swoop, and came back safe and sound with the head of the Qiang king.This kind of feat, not everyone can do it.

Seeing that Suo Guang changed his attitude towards him in a blink of an eye, Ma Chao continued, "Prefect Suo, Mr. Yishan and I came all the way to meet you. Gai Shun, I heard from him that this place has been occupied by the Xianbei people, and that the prefect Suo also surrendered to the Xianbei people and was willing to be the minion of the Xianbei people. Mr. Yishan and I didn’t quite believe it, so we came to Dunhuang to seek proof. But who Prefect Suo really disappointed me, Dunhuang Suo Clan has always been the leader of Liangzhou gentry, but now he has fallen to the point of treachery for glory, does prefect Suo really not care about the reputation of his ancestors?"

"I still say that, I have a clear conscience for everything I do." Suo Guang said with a gloomy expression.

Ma Chao said: "Prefect Suo, I know that all you have done is to protect the people in Dunhuang City, but after all, this is the place where we Han people live, and the Xianbei people are showing off their power here, and you are begging for mercy for the Xianbei people. Take countless money from here, is this the result you want?"

Suo Guangdao: "General Ma, please put yourself in your shoes and think about it. If I didn't do this, tens of thousands of people in the city and I would have died under the iron hooves of the Xianbei people. How could you see me?" But I can tell you that the reason why I did this is because of my purpose, and I am definitely not as weak as you imagined. Although a man must stand upright, he must also be able to bend and stretch. It took 20 years to finally defeat the state of Wu and gain the status of the overlord. I, Suo Guang, also have the ambition of Gou Jian. One day, I will let the Xianbei people take back what was taken from here, doubled!"

Ma Chao sneered and said, "It's easy to say, but hard to do. Now there are Xianbei cavalry everywhere outside Dunhuang City, and there are at least [-] to [-] cavalry left in this area. There is no army in Dunhuang City. What do you use to resist Xianbei?" People? Now that I, Ma Chao, have pacified the eastern part of Liangzhou, I am about to lead an army into the western part of Liangzhou, and prepare to completely control Liangzhou in the hands of our Han people. The reason why I came here is because of the recommendation of Mr. Yishan I said that you, Suo Guang, are a person with great ambitions and are proficient in the art of war. You are the best candidate for a military adviser. All foreigners will be expelled from the Han territory. In addition, I will follow the example of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing and lead troops into the Western Regions to regain control of our Han people in the Western Regions and let those foreigners know that we Han people are not easy to mess with of!"

After listening to Ma Chao's words, Suo Guang immediately felt Ma Chao's ambition.Moreover, Ma Chao is the famous Shenweitian General who moved Liangzhou. If everything Ma Chao said was true, then he would be willing to be driven by Ma Chao and help Ma Chao complete this ambitious hegemony.

Suo Guang said slowly: "General Ma, I admire your ambition, but please don't take my Suo Guang too simply. My thoughts are different from General Ma's, but, General Ma's ambition is far greater than mine. I just want to expel the alien race from Liangzhou, but General Ma wants to take back the Western Regions as well. It is beyond my imagination. General Ma, Mr. Yishan, please Come with me, I will show you something, it can be regarded as General Ma who has traveled thousands of miles, please invite me as a military adviser's meeting gift!"

Both Ma Chao and Yang Fu were at a loss. They didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Suo Guang's gourd, but hearing Suo Guang's tone, it seemed that they had eased up a lot.Ma Chao is a bold man, but Suo Guang is just a literati, so he has nothing to be afraid of.So Ma Chao and Yang Fu followed Suo Guang out of the hall and headed for the back hall.

Suo Guang brought Ma Chao and Yang Fu to the backyard of the government office. Ma Chao asked, "Prefect Suo, what do you want to show us?"

"You will know when you go, don't worry, I will never harm you. Besides, General Ma can take the head of the Qiang king from among the thousands of troops as easy as picking something out of a bag. What can we do in this small city of Dunhuang?" General Ma?" Suo Guang said.

Ma Chao stopped talking, and just followed Suo Guang with Yang Fu to a room in the backyard.

There were two servants standing at the door of the room. When they saw Suo Guang coming, they greeted them immediately, and said respectfully: "See you, my lord."

These two servants are strong and burly, giving people a tall and mighty feeling, and their rough appearance does not look like servants, but soldiers.

Suo Guang said to the two men, "Open the door!"

The two soldiers did as Suo Guang said, and after opening the door, an empty room was revealed inside, without any decorations.

At this time, Suo Guang stood at the door, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Ma Chao and Yang Fu, "Please come in!"

Ma Chao and Yang Fu looked at each other, and finally chose to go in. After entering the room with Suo Guang, they looked around. There was nothing here, just an empty room, but they didn't know why Suo Guang brought him They come here.

At this time, Suo Guang walked towards a wall, stretched out his hand on the wall and touched a small thing hanging on the wall, only heard a "click", and the wall opened slowly, revealing a huge gap , inside is a long underground corridor with many steps, but it doesn't know where it leads.

"This is..." Ma Chao asked curiously.

"You guys come in with me, you'll know it at a glance." Suo Guang pretended to be mysterious.

Suo Guang led the way, followed by Ma Chao and Yang Fu. After they entered the corridor, the two servants outside closed the door, and the moving wall returned to its original appearance.

There are many burning torches hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, so the light is sufficient, allowing them to see what it looks like here.

Ma Chao and Yang Fu followed Suo Guang, walking down the corridor, getting deeper and deeper, and feeling more and more shady. They walked for about ten meters before reaching the bottom.

Suo Guang led Ma Chao and Yang Fu to continue walking along the corridor, and when they turned a corner, everything in front of them suddenly became clear, and the cramped space became larger.

What appeared in front of Ma Chao and Yang Fu was a huge underground platform, where hundreds of strong men in strong clothes wrestled together, shouting inspiringly. Everyone was sweating profusely, but they were full of fighting spirit .

There are also various weapons on the edge of the platform, and occasionally there will be the sound of iron striking in the distance.

Ma Chao suddenly understood everything. This is Suo Guang's underground school and arsenal. Suo Guang manufactures weapons and trains soldiers here. Everything is so secret, and it's hard for Xianbei people to know all this.

Suo Guangdao: "General Ma, this is the school ground I built secretly. The five hundred strong men in front of you are also carefully selected by me. They train here during the day and go home to sleep at night. , Over the past year, I have gradually achieved something, and I can go to the battlefield at any time."

Ma Chao said: "Prefect Suo, Ma has offended so many times before, please don't take offense from Prefect Suo."

Suo Guang waved his hand and said, "Everyone thinks I'm a traitor, but in fact, people don't necessarily understand what I, Suo Guang, is going to do. In fact, I've always thought of a big man in my heart. I'm here to train soldiers." , just to deal with the Xianbei people. I hope that one day I can recapture Dunhuang City from the Xianbei people and drive the Xianbei people out of Liangzhou. Originally, my plan would take ten years to complete, but I don’t want General Ma to come here , In this way, as long as we carefully plan our strategy, we will be able to drive the Xianbei people away soon."

After hearing what Suo Guang said, Ma Chao immediately asked, "Prefect Suo, so you are willing to advise me?"
