"I'm just a farmer in Nanyang County."
Wei Yan could have told a lie and believed that no one would blame him, but in the end he told his origins frankly.
"Ha ha ha ha....!"
Sure enough, as soon as Wei Yan finished speaking, Ma Chao burst into laughter.
"Farmer? What a joke! How can a peasant be worthy of fighting with me? To borrow a phrase from Liu Zhang, who do you think you are! Why don't you back down!"
Even if Ma Chao kills this peasant soldier with one shot, there is nothing to be happy about.
This Wei Yan was completely unworthy of him.
"Why, you don't dare to challenge me? You still call yourself Queen Ma Yuan! My lord is right, you are a waste!"
Liu Zhang just insulted him, but he didn't expect that a civilian soldier would dare to insult him like this.
However, the huge gap in status still failed to motivate the angry Ma Chao.
"Humph, you shameless person! I, Ma Chao, am a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan and a duke for many generations! What qualifications do you, a small peasant, have to fight against this general?"
"Get out of here, I'll kill you for dirtying my silver spear!"
Wei Yan originally thought that Ma Chao, who was shaped like a blazing fire, would fight with him immediately, ushering in his first appearance after surrendering to Liu Zhang.
Unexpectedly, family background did not become an obstacle to joining Yizhou, but instead became the biggest stumbling block on the road to meritorious service!
At this moment, Liu Zhang behind Wei Yan spoke.
"Ma Chao, do you have the nerve to call others shameless? Do you have any shame yourself? Let's not talk about whether your Ma family has any relationship with General Fubo Ma Yuan. Even if they are incompatible with each other, how can you, the whole family, be ashamed to rebel against thieves? Are you talking about Ma Yuan?"
"Not to mention that Ma Yuan's post is pure nonsense!"
As for the Empress General Fubo in Ma Teng's mouth, she is exactly the same as Liu Bei, Empress Jing of Zhongshan, and there is no way to test it!
In fact, Ma Teng's purpose is exactly the same as Liu Bei's, which is to pull the tiger's skin and become a banner.
Liu Bei weaves mats and sells shoes. If he doesn't label himself as a member of the Han clan, who in the world will think highly of him?
The same is true for Ma Teng. If he doesn't describe himself as a descendant of the powerful alien Ma Yuan, who will think highly of him?
Ma Teng was able to marry a Qiang daughter and receive help from the Qiang people, largely due to this status.
Without the identity of a descendant of Ma Yuan, Ma Teng would have absolutely no chance to control the army, let alone rebel.
"Liu Zhang, you...!"
Ma Chao wanted to refute, but Liu Zhang didn't give him this chance at all.
"Ma Chao, please put away your remarks as a prince. I will embarrass you!"
"Your grandfather Ma Ping was just a small officer, but did he have a title? What about your father, what title did he have?"
Ma Chao was left speechless by the question. Everything was blown out by him. In fact, the Ma family has been in decline for a long time.
Liu Zhang's words were true and every word was heart-breaking, leaving Ma Chao's body completely damaged.
"You dare to look down on farmers just because of your background. Ask your father how poor he was when he was your age? If he hadn't gone to Zhangshan to cut wood and carry it to the city to sell, would he be alive now? !”
Ma Chao looked ashamed, but his heart was horrified.
How could Liu Zhang know that Ma Teng cut firewood to make a living, something that happened twenty years ago!
"Ha ha ha ha...!"
Liu Zhang's words really made Wei Yan angry, and now he could laugh loudly and unscrupulously.
"What a great general after Fu Bo, what a prince for generations! Are you just daydreaming?"
"I didn't expect that you, a descendant of woodcutter, would have the nerve to laugh at me, a farmer!"
Wei Yan's waist is so straight that anyone can look down on him, except Ma Chao!
It was this sentence about chopping firewood that directly made Ma Chao lose all reason.
"If you are a farmer, Japan will send you underground today!"
"Give me your life!"
After roaring, Ma Chao immediately rode out and charged towards Wei Yan with his spear.
"Hahaha, let me see how your Ma family uses a gun to chop wood!"
Wei Yan held a big sword in his hand and directly urged his war horse to counterattack Ma Chao.
The woodcutter used spears instead of swords, which made Wei Yan not afraid at all.
The veins in his hand popped out, and the broadsword seemed to be integrated with Wei Yan's palm because of the huge grip.
Wei Yan and Ma Chao were extremely fast and rushed to their respective locations in just the blink of an eye.
"Suffer death!"
There was another roar, and then the sword and the spear collided hard!
when!
A harsh collision sounded out of thin air, and the huge force even forced the two men's horses to stop!
In order to kill Wei Yan with one blow, Ma Chao chose to face Wei Yan's sword directly with his spear, trying to completely crush him to death in terms of strength.
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. The spear was already at a disadvantage when wielding the sword, and Wei Yan was no ordinary person. The two immediately fell into a stalemate.
"Ah ah...!"
"ah...!"
The two of them gritted their teeth, and the raised veins on their foreheads completely told the story of the stalemate.
Feeling the huge power coming from the weapon, Wei Yan and Ma Chao both had a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
Not just anyone!
After a breath, the sword and the spear separated, and the two of them withdrew their weapons in unison.
Just when everyone thought the two would take a breather before fighting again, spears and swords attacked each other at the same time.
when! when! when!
Neither of them chose to compare their strength, but chose the clash of swordsmanship and spear skills.
Wei Yan's sword technique was as powerful as a tiger descending from the mountain, slashing at Ma Chao's vital points everywhere.
Ma Chao was no less willing to give in. His spear skills were unpredictable, and the angle of each thrust was extremely tricky, and he would definitely aim at Wei Yan's vitals.
The two sides went back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, Wei Yan had the upper hand after twenty rounds of fighting!
"Hey, the article is pretty good!"
Liu Zhang never expected that Wei Yan could gain an advantage over Ma Chao!
"My lord, Chang Wen's efforts since joining us are really amazing!"
Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with relief, and Wei Yan's diligence was completely noticed by him.
Since joining Liu Zhang, Wei Yan has made up his mind to become stronger. As long as he is a general in the army, he will consult him.
Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and even Dian Wei all asked for advice on martial arts.
In his spare time, he also learned the art of war from Xun You and others. It can be said that almost all the top figures in the Yizhou Army witnessed Wei Yan's efforts.
"Sure enough, he lived up to my high expectations for him!"
Wei Yan was silent for a long time in history, which is not unrelated to his tragic experience. If he could have received a good education earlier, Wei Yan's achievements would have definitely been far more than the prefect of Hanzhong in history!
"My lord, Wei Yan said that his qualifications are mediocre and he has lacked learning since he was a child. He is always afraid of the lord's attention. Only by working harder than others can he live up to the lord's expectations!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded. Wei Yan was much better than he thought.
"I didn't expect Wen Chang to understand the principle of the stupid bird flying first!"
