Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 290 Zuo Mazi and Yu Shouzi

The pockmarked face and the tall and thin man didn't run away, but retreated while beckoning their companions to flee into the Ying River.

"Brothers, look at this posture, the opponent doesn't want to survive. If you want to survive, you can only gamble in the water!" Ma Zilian's voice was so loud that almost the entire battlefield could hear his voice.

When Ma Chao was on the rise, he suddenly heard the enemy yelling to jump into Yingshui to escape, and he was happy at that time.

He had surveyed the terrain here a long time ago. This place is the upper reaches of the Yingshui River. The current is so fast that it may not be possible to reach the opposite bank by boat.

And if you want to dive into the water and go down the river, there is no possibility of surviving, because there is a big waterfall not far downstream, and people who are washed under the waterfall will undoubtedly die.

However, Pocky Face's voice still aroused Ma Chao's vigilance, "How can an ordinary pawn have such strength! That Pocky Face is not easy to answer!"

The long breath is generally the performance of super fighters.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao waved his weapon to fly the pawn in front of him, and then rushed towards the pockmarked face looking for the sound.

Ma Chao yelled while charging, those who surrender will not be killed!

At this time, this group of Xiliang soldiers also saw that they were facing a deadly situation. When they heard Ma Chao shouting that the prisoners would be treated preferentially, many people dropped their weapons and knelt down and begged for mercy.

At this time, the tall and thin man who was with Pocky Face also shouted.

"Everyone, don't believe what he said. There is something wrong with these bandits. Surrendering is a death! We must hold hands after jumping into the river, so that we won't be alone and be washed away by the water!"

The thin and tall man's voice was also very thick and powerful, and in such a chaotic battle situation, he could actually take care of everyone's ears.

So under his persuasion, dozens of Xiliang soldiers jumped into Yingshui to escape together.

With the captives kneeling on the ground, Ma Chao couldn't go on a rampage like he did at the beginning, after all, he just shouted that the surrender would not be killed.

Once the speed slowed down, he didn't reach the shore in time, but Ma Chao sneered mockingly as he watched dozens of enemy soldiers jump into the rushing water.

"Hmph! Do you really think I didn't set up defenses in the water?" After speaking, Ma Chao waved his hand towards the opposite bank.

Soon, more than a dozen small boats were pulled by ropes and floated to the middle of the river. There were five or six sharp archers on each boat, and they only picked out the enemy soldiers who exposed their heads to breathe.

In a short while, about thirty or so enemy soldiers who fled into the water were shot to death.

The rest of the enemy soldiers were washed down the waterfall by the rushing river, some hit the rocks and fell to death, some drowned in the water, and all the remaining ones were captured alive by the Ma family soldiers guarding under the waterfall .

These deployments of Ma Chao can be described as well-intentioned, almost counting any possibility of escape.

But no matter whether it was the corpse fished out of the water or the enemy caught under the waterfall, there was no trace of the pockmarked face and the tall and thin man.

Those two soldiers are very slick, if they get away, they will be in trouble.

"Send people to search along the shore to make sure that no enemy soldier escapes!"

After Ma Chao gave the order, he called a few more captives to ask about the identities of the pockmarked and tall thin man.

When this inquiry was made, the prisoners said that the pockmarked face and the tall thin man were soldiers who had just come to join the army recently, and that they were usually timid and timid, and they didn't get along well with others.

After listening to these, Ma Chao felt that this was too strange. He thought that the two of them must be at least at the level of a lieutenant colonel, because from the shouts of the two of them just now, Ma Chao heard a long breath, and there was no accident. This person's force should have reached the level of a super fierce general.

Why did two people with extraordinary skills hide themselves as pawns in Xu Rong's army?

"Reporting to the little general, I found Feiclaw on the edge of the waterfall, and I also found two thin bamboo pipes on the other side..."

Ma Chao was taken aback when he heard this.

The thin bamboo tube in the mouth can submerge in the water for a long time without exposing the head to breathe, and the flying claws are attached to the rope to grab the rocks on the shore to escape the danger of being washed down by the waterfall.

It seemed that the pockmarked face and the tall thin man really escaped.

"The corpses were buried on the spot, and all the prisoners were brought into the city and handed over to Mr. Wen Ruo." After Ma Chao finished speaking, he rushed to the shore.

His subordinates hurriedly asked why, but Ma Chao only said that he would go after the two deserters himself.

……

The pockmarked face and the tall and thin man fled to the opposite bank and hurried downstream along the river.

The two walked and chatted, and the tall and thin one asked first, "Zuo Mazi, do you think we should go back to Liang County or..."

"Go back to Liang County, that fart, then Wu Qian must have been arrested, what's the point of us going back to Liang County."

The pockmarked face surnamed Zuo cursed bitterly, "His grandma, I didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to find a tomb robber, and almost killed me. If I knew it, I wouldn't listen to your nonsense about Yu Shouzi. When I was in Liang County It's time to kidnap Wu Gan while it's dark!"

At this time, the thin and tall man surnamed Yu seemed to think of something, and said: "If you don't go back to Liang County, let's go to Yingchuan. I checked before that the descendants of the Xu family live in Yingchuan Changsha. By the way, that person He seems to have the same name as his ancestor, Xu Fu."

Zuo's surnamed Ma Zimian thought about it and found it feasible, so the mysterious two people continued eastward along the Ying River and went straight to Yingchuan.

The two had just left when Ma Chao came out from behind a big tree.

"These two are really strange! They joined the army to find grave robbers!"

Ma Chao had known for a long time that the Wu family was a master of tomb robbers, and the school lieutenant Wu Gan was also the clan brother of Wu You, the steward of Liu's residence.

"Also, they said they were going to Yingchuan Changshe County to find the descendants of the Xu family. I remember that Xu Shu, the new counselor recruited by the master, was originally named Xu Fu?"

Although the mysterious two didn't say a word about returning to Liang County to report to Xu Rong, but out of caution, Ma Chao decided to follow up and find out.

It was also out of caution, so when Ma Chaohe discovered the whereabouts of the two of them, he did not show up immediately to arrest them.

Because after chasing him all the way, Ma Chao had the illusion that the two people in front could always distance themselves from him in time.

Moreover, they had traveled hundreds of miles in a hurry. Instead of feeling scared because they had narrowly escaped death, the two "little pawns" walked very easily without feeling tired.

This kind of foot strength is even inferior to Ma Chao.

Another reason is that when the two men were talking just now, Ma Chao was actually tens of meters away from them.

But the two of them talked at the top of their voices on purpose, as if they were afraid that Ma Chao might not be able to hear what they were talking about.

All kinds of strange behaviors showed that Zuo Mazi and Yu Shouzi were definitely not ordinary pawns, and they should have noticed Ma Chao chasing after him long ago.

It's just that the two of them didn't mean to be enemies with Ma Chao, so they wanted to use this method to persuade Ma Chao not to chase them.

……

After another sixty or seventy miles in a hurry, Zuo Mazi and Yu Shouzi finally felt tired.

The two stopped, and Yu Shouzi went to collect firewood nearby, while Zuo Mazi sat cross-legged on the bank, chanting mantras and making formulas in his hands.

"The Taishang Laojun hastily ordered ... to change as he wished!"

Then Ma Chao, who was following behind, saw that Zuo Mazi had an extra fish in his hand, a live fish.

How do you catch a fish without a hook or a net?Could it be that Zuo Mazi knows the art of immortality?
Zuo Mazi got the fish, and Yu Shouzi also piled firewood at this time, but Yu Shouzi didn't intend to use the fire to light the fire.

He also muttered like Zuo Mazi, "Taishang Laojun is anxious to order... fire!"

I saw Yu Shouzi blew a breath on the dry wood, and then he really lit up!
