"Based on what the marshal saw, what do you think?"
Wang Ke picked up the wine glass, toasted Han Qinhu another glass, and asked casually.
Han Qinhu stroked his long beard with his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Is Yanzhong really interested in helping Wu Yunzhao?"
Wang Ke nodded and said: "Of course it is!"
Han Qinhu said: "Okay! In fact, when I came here, I also wanted to get rid of Yunzhao. Now that I have Yanzhong's help, I feel that it can be done!"
"Please give me the Marshal's orders!"
Wang Ke said with his hands clasped in his fists.
Han Qinhu said: "Sima Chao, who is guarding Qilin Pass, is a treacherous person. If you try to make trouble with him, there may be many misfortunes... Therefore, I think that Wu Yunzhao should be allowed to come in person before we can talk to him."
Wang Ke nodded slightly when he heard the words, and immediately said to Han Qinhu: "If we follow the marshal's plan, one more person needs to inform the city so that Sima Chao can cooperate well with us."
Han Qinhu said: "That's right! I have exactly this idea."
Wang Ke continued: "If the marshal can trust me, I will write a handwritten letter tomorrow and shoot into the city with a bow and arrow, asking Sima Chao to come out of the city the next day and fight me. I will discuss the matter with him at that time."
Han Qinhu thought for a moment, and finally nodded, saying: "That's fine! At this moment, is this all?"
…
The second day.
Wang Shiji and Ma Shumou came out of their respective camps and stormed the Qilin Pass city wall.
Relying on the steep terrain, Qilin Pass was strictly defended under the command of Sima Chao.
Ma Shumou and Wang Shiji attacked several times in succession, but still gained nothing.
but.
This time.
Wang Ke led eight hundred cavalry in the rear sweep formation.
While Wang Shiji and Ma Shumou were rushing ahead, he quietly rode to the front of the formation, immediately hung up his gun, took off his bow and arrow, and fired at a war drum on the tower.
The arrow was like a shooting star, shooting straight through the war drum.
The soldiers who were beating the drum were shocked when they saw this. When they looked at the arrow again, they saw a palm-sized piece of letter paper tied to the arrowhead, with words written on it.
The soldier didn't recognize what was written, but he also knew that the letter was of great importance, so he rushed all the way to Sima Chao to report it.
"letter?"
Sima Chao couldn't help but frown after hearing what the soldier said.
He took the letter, unfolded it, and saw the letter saying: "The Marquis of Dingbei, Wang Ke, pays homage to Brother Sima, the general at Qilin Pass. I have always been on good terms with the Marquis of Nanyang. This expedition south is out of necessity. Now I have a confidential matter to report to you." , Your Excellency Wanwang will go out of the city tomorrow to talk about it, remember it!"
"Wang Ke, the Marquis of Dingbei?"
Saw this name.
Sima Chao's heart skipped a beat.
As a general from a poor family.
Wang Ke's name must have impressed them deeply.
This man, who started his career in the Yang Su shogunate, conquered the south and the north step by step, and reached his current position as Marquis of Dingbei. He is really a model of struggle.
so.
When Sima Chao saw this was a letter written by Wang Ke.
In his heart, a hint of solemnity surged subconsciously.
"He invites me to fight tomorrow? Is he trying to use a trick to harm me?"
Sima Chao couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
but.
According to what he knew about Wang Ke's temperament.
This situation can be said to be minimal.
"That's all! I'll go out to the city tomorrow to have a look. If he really has a treacherous plot, I can just kill him with a single blow!"
After hesitating for a moment.
Sima Chao made up his mind and said in his heart.
then.
Sima Chao ordered that soldiers and horses strictly guard the city. After the enemy retreated, each camp buried pots and cooked rice. They waited until tomorrow to select five hundred elite cavalry to go out of the city to fight.
…
really.
One day later.
Sima Chao led his cavalry to pass.
When Ma Shumou and Wang Shiji heard this, they held their heads high and wanted to fight the enemy.
And just when the two of them were fighting for each other.
Wang Ke stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Marshal, I am a weak general, but I am willing to lead the troops into battle!"
As soon as Dingbei Hou came out.
Naturally, Ma Shumou and Wang Shiji did not dare to compete for credit.
Both of them bowed their heads and retreated, giving this opportunity to fight to Wang Ke.
present.
Wang Ke took the general's order from Han Qinhu, carried the Cold Iron Cold Moon Spear, got on his horse, and went straight to the front of the formation.
When Sima Chao met Wang Ke, he was polite and said, "I have met the Marquis of Dingbei!"
Wang Ke said symbolically: "General, with his martial arts skills, wouldn't it be a pity to surrender to a thief? How about surrendering to the court and I will save your life?"
"Hahahahaha! What did the Marquis say? Since the general has followed Nanyang Marquis, he must assist him wholeheartedly. Could it be that General Wang Junke, who is under the Marquis, will also repeat his words?"
After hearing Wang Ke's words, Sima Chao looked solemn and answered.
"Hahaha! Okay! In that case, let's see the true chapter on the sword!"
Listen to this.
Wang Ke couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
Subsequently.
He shouted loudly, urged his horse and fired his gun, and went straight for Sima Chao. Sima Chao also raised his sword and came back towards him.
The two generals were locked in a stalemate, a gambling battle, thirty rounds of fighting, Sima Chao was already sweating all over.
Seeing that he could not defeat Wang Ke, he was about to put away his sword and run away, but at this moment, Wang Ke feinted with a shot, turned his horse around, and galloped towards the woods nearby.
"Seeing that he was about to win, why did he suddenly turn around and run away?"
See this situation.
Sima Chao was slightly startled.
but.
At this moment.
Wang Ke shouted: "Sima Chao! You are really powerful, let me defeat you with a carbine!"
Upon hearing this.
Sima Chao immediately understood.
He laughed heartily, flying the sword in his palm, and shouted: "Don't be so arrogant, Marquis Dingbei! A certain family will definitely arrest you today!"
As he spoke, he chased Wang Ke and ran into the woods next to him.
The two of them chased each other and fled deep into the woods. Wang Ke took the horse and looked back at Sima Chao with a smile.
Sima Chao also turned over and jumped off his horse, raised his hands and praised: "Dingbei Hou's marksmanship is like a god, and he will not be his opponent in the end!"
Wang Ke waved his hand and said: "Brother Sima is not bad at martial arts. Otherwise, how could Uncle Ma, the vanguard in our army, fall into your hands?"
Sima Chao laughed loudly and said, "What are you doing to those traitorous rats?"
Speaking of which.
Sima Chao said sternly: "I wonder what important matter the Lord Marquis has summoned the general to come here for?"
Listen to Sima Chao ask this.
Wang Ke did not hide anything, so he told Sima Chao everything about Han Qinhu and his plans to help Wu Yunzhao escape.
Sima Chao said: "If you two are willing to help my Marquis, that would be great...but Ma Shumou and Wang Shiji are two thieves who are eyeing each other. How can we cooperate with you two?"
"It's easy!"
Wang Ke burst out laughing when he heard this.
When he came, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
then.
Wang Ke said to Sima Chao: "Just like this, we can get rid of the two thieves!"
…
Soon.
Wang Ke returned to the tent of Han Qinhu's army with his gun in hand.
Han Qinhu asked Wang Ke about the battle situation.
Wang Ke said: "We were fighting in front of the battle. Sima Chao was very skilled with swords. I led him deep into the woods and stabbed him with a carbine. However, he avoided the vital point and stabbed his left arm. He returned with injuries."
Upon hearing this.
Ma Shumou and Wang Shiji finally couldn't sit still.
The two of them stood up quickly, rushed to Han Qinhu and said, "In that case, the two generals are willing to lead the vanguard and climb the city first!"
