Chapter 101
After receiving this letter, Ma Teng and Han Sui were so mentally confused! Their military rations were not enough, and they would definitely not last for a few days. But a great opportunity was right in front of him. If he missed it, wouldn’t he become a fool? The hard work of these few months was in vain. Moreover, it was easy for the heroes in the world to laugh at them. They were really unwilling to give up! In the end, Ma Teng and Han Sui made a cruel decision and ordered all soldiers to reduce their food rations by half.
They marched to Chang'an and after they broke through Chang'an, they gave them a lot of rewards. However, when they arrived at Mount Yu, they stopped the army out of caution and asked the explorers to carefully investigate whether there was an ambush within thirty miles outside the mountain. This time it was very good. As the letter said, all the troops were withdrawn, and the camp was empty. Ma Teng and Han Sui were overjoyed and ordered the army to pass quickly.
After three or four days of travel, Ma Teng and Han Sui received military rations completely. However, now it is not far from Chang'an City. Ma Teng and Han Sui don't care anymore. As long as they arrive in Chang'an and surround Chang'an and let their men have a full meal, they can rest their soldiers. At night, they will ask Liu Fan and others to open the city gate, and they will rush in and take Chang'an. At that time, it will be nothing to do. However, when Ma Teng and Han Sui arrive outside Chang'an City, Ma Teng and Han Sui were shocked! At this time, outside Chang'an City was not as unprepared as Ma Teng and Han Sui imagined. Instead, there were dense and boundless troops waiting there.
At the same time, Ma Teng and Han Suide's army were in a time when people were trapped and horses were exhausted. In addition, these soldiers had not eaten enough for several days in a row, and their physical strength was at the lowest point. However, the most important thing was that these soldiers had prepared their enemies and prepared so many troops. The hopes of Ma Teng and Han Suide's soldiers were shattered at once, and their morale was reduced to the lowest point. These soldiers all understood that their army had not much military ration, not to mention that they could not defeat so many enemy troops. Even if they could not distinguish the outcome from the opponent, their army would not be able to persist for a long time.
Faced with this situation, Ma Teng and Han Sui thought that the goal of his marching was too obvious, which led to Dong Zhuo's army being guarded. Therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui also wanted to set up camp and set up camp, let Ma Chao lead the army to challenge the opponent first, kill a few enemy generals, and at the same time cover their own team to set up camp and set up camp, wait for their troops to have a full meal and recover, and then fight to the death with Dong Zhuo. At that time, Liu Fan and others will respond, and the Youzhou army will also involve some of Dong Zhuo's troops, and there will be no chance to win on his side!
However, Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't know. The letter from Liu Fan that they received was not written by Liu Fan, but was done by Li Ru. As early as when Dong Zhuo got Ma Teng and Han Sui raised an army to attack him, but stopped moving forward, Li Ru realized that someone in Chang'an City and Ma Teng and Han Sui secretly communicated with him. Li Ru immediately stepped up the investigation in secret. Coincidentally, half a month ago, Ma Yu's child stole money and was beaten and expelled by Ma Yu because of his unclean hands and feet. Therefore, he held a grudge and reported to the yamen that the head of the family Ma Yu and Liu Fan, and Zhong Zhao colluded with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and wanted to respond to it. Dong Zhuo was furious and captured all the good deeds of the three families, with more than 700 people killed in the street market. Fortunately, Wang Yun was secretly and cautious in his daily life, and these three people were a bit loyal and righteous, so he did not involve Wang Yun, so Wang Yun escaped.
After Dong Zhuo killed Liu Fan and others, Li Ru strictly prohibited the circulation of information inside and outside Chang'an. At the same time, he prepared such a letter, ordering Guo Si, Fan Chou and others to evacuate Ma Teng, Han Sui's army for a day or two to send people to Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, and then evacuate Yuxi Mountain to prepare for a decisive battle with Ma Teng and Han Sui. Li Ru spent so much effort and prepared to fight this battle. How could he give Ma Teng? Han Sui any chance. Li Ru originally didn't want to pay attention to Ma Chao's provocation. After all, now he has the advantage of time, place, and people, so why should he fight with them? However, when Lu Bu saw Ma Chao's provocation, he insisted on going out to compete with him! Lu Bu was easily beaten by Liu Bin at Hulao Pass last time.
Losing was considered a shameful face! Although Dong Zhuo did not blame him, Lu Bu's status in the Xiliang army also declined a lot! Although he was still staring at the title of the number one general of the Xiliang army, no matter whether it was a general or a soldier in the Xiliang army, he did not value Lu Bu so much! Lu Bu naturally could not tolerate this situation continuing. Of course, he also knew that he was not Liu Bin's opponent and did not say that he wanted to seek revenge on Liu Bin. However, now Ma Chao, an unknown soldier, came out to show off his power, which was just a chance to establish his authority, so Lu Bu naturally would not let him go! Although Li Ru was a little unwilling, Dong Zhuo still trusted Lu Bu and supported Lu Bu, so Li Ru also knew that Lu Bu was allowed to fight!
Lu Bu took the Fang Tian Painted Gaul, rode the Red Rabbit Horse, and took some people out of Chang'an City! As soon as Lu Bu left the city, Ma Chao saw it! Everyone knows this image of Lu Bu is well known in the world! Ma Chao naturally knows it! Although Lu Bu was defeated by Liu Bin in the battle at Hulao Pass, his undefeated myth was shattered! However, Lu Bu is still one of the best military generals in the world. Except for Liu Bin, others may not be his opponent! Ma Chao has a considerable prestige among the Qiang tribe in Xiliang, but he is young and has no reputation in the Central Plains after all! Ma Chao is also a peerless general. As a general, he naturally has the pride of military generals. He does not think he is worse than Lu Bu, nor does he think that Liu Bin is better than him! The reason why he is not famous is that he has no chance. Now that Lu Bu goes to fight is a great opportunity to become famous!
Originally, when Lu Bu came out, the people on Ma Chao were preparing to stop Ma Chao from competing with Lu Bu, but Ma Chao was unwilling to give up this great opportunity and insisted on going to fight. In desperation, Ma Teng and others could only agree to Ma Chao's battle! Lu Bu came to the formation and saw a pretty young man riding a white horse standing in front of the formation! He also held a tiger-headed tulle in his hand! Seeing this image, Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned. He really didn't dare to underestimate his opponent now! The last time at the Hulao Pass, Liu Bin was this image. He was very despised at the beginning, but he suffered the first time in his life! Although this young general was not famous, he lost to Liu Bin, leaving him a psychological shadow, so he was better to be cautious! So Lu Bu shouted: "Who is here! Come on the list! I will not kill the nameless person under my subordinates!"
Ma Chao is now excited and holds the tiger-headed tulle and says, "I am the son of Ma Teng, the general of the Western Expedition. Ma Chao is Ma Mengqi! Lu Bu will take the move!" After that, he took the tiger-headed tulle and attacked Lu Bu! Seeing Ma Chao take action, Lu Bu raised the corner of his mouth and laughed! From the situation where Ma Chao takes action, Lu Bu knew that although Ma Chao is also a peerless general and has great combat power, he is not Liu Bin after all, and no matter how powerful he is, he is not his opponent! So Lu Bu also fought with Ma Chao with Fang Tian Hua Ji! Just as Lu Bu thought, Ma Chao was indeed a peerless general
, the fast and powerful gun caused a lot of trouble to Lu Bu, but he is indeed not Lu Bu's opponent! Although Ma Chao is tall, he is still very young and is still growing, and he has little experience in the battlefield. Lu Bu himself is a peerless general, and his talent is definitely better than Ma Chao! And now he is at the peak of his life. After losing to Liu Bin last time, Lu Bu also put away his arrogant heart at that moment, changed his mentality, and his spirit is impeccable! In addition, since Lu Bu has experienced the battle formation and has a rich battlefield experience, how could Ma Chao be his opponent?
Ma Chao and Lu Bu fought hard. In the first few rounds, Ma Chao could still fight Lu Bu without a victory or defeat, and attack and defense with each other! But ten rounds later, Lu Bu began to gain an advantage, and Ma Chao would have more defense and less attack! After thirty rounds, Ma Chao would have to resist and no time to attack! Lu Bu began to suppress him! The resentment of losing to Liu Bin last time can finally be poured out! Lu Bu really wants to whistle to the sky and express his heroism! And Ma Chao began to feel depressed! He thought that he had not met an opponent in Xiliang, but who knew that he had entered the Central Plains for the first time and competed with famous generals in the Central Plains for the first time, and was suppressed by the opponent. This was really hard to accept! Ma Chao also felt inexplicable shame! Although Lu Bu was also the second only to Liu Bin in the whole world! It was not embarrassing to lose to him!
But the same thing is said, Ma Chao has not met an opponent in Xiliang. The Ma family is a big family in Liangzhou and is from an extraordinary background. As Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Chao can be said to have been a star since childhood. He has received all his favors. After growing up, he has not suffered any setbacks! Now he was ambitious and wanted to make achievements and become famous. But suddenly he lost to Lu Bu, it was like a basin of cold water, which suddenly wiped out his ambitions! How could he accept this? So Ma Chao began to go crazy! He rekindled his fighting spirit and began to attack Lu Bu frantically! The generals went crazy and burned their fighting spirit, which could indeed improve their fighting spirit, but this was in a situation where the momentum was evenly matched! But now the gap between Ma Chao and Lu Bu is still relatively large. It is not burning the fighting spirit, and ignoring the crazy attack, which can offset the gap between the two!
