After a night's rest, Xiahou Yuan led his troops back. Today's troops, as Xu Shu expected, several soldiers beside Xiahou Yuan had already brought some sulfur and flint. From this point of view, Xiahou Yuan did have the intention of setting fire to the forest.

However, to Xiahou Yuan's surprise, Ma Chao did not sit on the head of the city today, but only waited for dozens of personal guards, waiting for Xiahou Yuan in front of the county seat of Yangren County. Xiahou Yuan looked at Ma Chao's calm and heroic posture like a leisurely stroll, even if he was an enemy at this time, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed by Ma Chao's famous general's demeanor.

"Miaocai visited yesterday and came back today, could it be that Brother Meng De has something to tell Yu Chao?" Ma Chao casually waved the Panlong Crouching Tiger Gun in his hand, and said to Xiahou Yuan as if chatting.

But when these words fell, Xiahou Yuan's face was immediately difficult to see: the two armies were facing each other, and they both knew each other. However, Ma Chao and Meng De have an alliance covenant after all, if they don't say a word today, they will kill Ma Chao, then their three thousand tigers and leopards may slaughter all the people in Yangren County? And if a hint of wind comes out, wouldn't the prestige that Meng De had worked so hard to build up by welcoming the Son of Heaven be ruined? !

And Ma Chao is for Xiahou Yuan, precisely because he knows that Xiahou Yuan is a famous general with both civil and military skills, and knows the general trend of the world. If you replace Xu Chu or Dian Wei, the two two hundred and five, I am afraid that in yesterday's battle, Ma Chao himself took the lead in smearing oil on the soles of his feet

Xiahou Yuan pondered for a moment, but still couldn't say anything. In the end, his face sank, and he made a big knife move in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Ma Chao Ruxiu is here to fake benevolence and righteousness, when the emperor fled from Chang'an, you dare to say that you are not in it?!" Meng De believed that you were a loyal man to the country, so he was willing to form an alliance with you. However, at this time, Yuan already knows that you are a person who deceives the world and steals your name, how can he tolerate you?! ”

"Oh?" Ma Chao smiled, and was really glad that Cao Cao could have a famous general like Xiahou Yuan: This little brother is capable! is not only capable, but also took the initiative to buckle the basin on his head, and was blamed behind the leader's back, and he is really a hardcore little brother!

However, envy and admiration are one thing, and the blow must be continued. After seeing Ma Chao smile, his face sank, and he shouted: "Ugly, ugly, monkey and crowned!" In this world, gluttony and indulgence, hurting and harming the people, super is also ashamed to be in company! And you and the clowns who jumped off the beam actually made a lot of nonsense here, spraying people with blood, and really forgot who the ancestors of Chao were? ! ”

"You!" As soon as Ma Chao opened his mouth, he was directly scolded by the eight generations of his ancestors, and there was no room for insinuations. Relying on his good background, he directly hit the glory of the Cao family's heart. As soon as such a worldly scolding came out, Xiahou Yuan didn't know how to fight back for a while.

However, Xiahou Yuan could hold back his anger, but Cao Xiu on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and after yelling, he wanted to fight to the death with Ma Chao.

And Ma Chao saw Cao Xiu standing under the banner of the word 'Cao', and knew that he was a member of Cao Cao's clan, so he laughed, pointed at Cao Xiu and said: "After Cao Mengde was eunuchized, he robbed relatives with Yuan Shao at a young age. I don't know today, where did you get such a brainless child? Just rely on the kung fu of soft-footed shrimp to play with women, and dare to fight against my Ma Mengqi?! ”

This scolding comes from an anecdote of Cao Cao. Cao Cao's reputation in Luoyang was not very good and stubborn, and he did rob someone else's bride with Yuan Shao. At that time, Cao Cao was only seven or eight years old, and when he saw someone else holding a wedding, he reflexively moved his mind with Yuan Shao. Taking advantage of the chaotic scene of the guests dispersing, the two slipped into the courtyard and shouted, there is a thief, catch the thief! As the imp expected, everyone was in a mess to find the thief, and even the groom came out in a panic to join in the fun.

And at that time, the two of them laughed wickedly, and with a look in their eyes, they slipped into the cave like very professional thieves, put the knife on the bride's neck, and shouted, Little lady, you should obediently eat and drink spicy food with us, and rob the bride in this way.

And in this matter, there are two more theories. One said that Yuan Shao fled first with the bride on his back, and Cao Cao walked in the other direction, and shouted while fleeing, the thief is here, everyone come and chase it! Everyone ran after him. Although everyone didn't catch the thief, they were still very grateful for the chivalrous spirit of this little ranger who drew his sword to help.

In this ending, Cao Cao not only used the art of war of taking off his pants and farting and dividing the soldiers, but also lured the enemy astray, and finally hypocritically, which can give a glimpse of the potential of military and political means in the future.

There is also an ending that says that the two robbed the bride and escaped, and Yuan Shao, a stupid man, actually fell into the bushes and couldn't struggle out. Cao Cao was in a hurry and shouted, the thief is here! Yuan Shao was in a hurry, and actually jumped out.

This kind of ending reflects Xiao Cao Cao's resourcefulness. This mental technique is exactly the same as the 'Wangmei quenches thirst' strategy he used before, which is to stimulate people's potential to deal with the current predicament.

And what about the final outcome of this matter, the bride was finally returned to others, and it was returned to others as it was. The two of them were still young at that time, and they didn't know anything more pleasant than robbing the bride, just to experience the joy of mischief.

If this incident happened in Ma Chao's previous life, it would be a marriage affair. However, in the late Han Dynasty, a society of etiquette and great defense, Cao Cao's practice as a child made Cao Cao suffer from his childhood in the future. Even in the Luoyang area, at this time, there was a saying of 'stealing gold when you are young, and stealing gold when you grow up', so that the village women came to warn their children not to be as virtuous as Cao Cao.

As soon as this sentence came out, even if Xiahou Yuan was well-cultivated, he couldn't hold his face anymore - the so-called scolding does not expose the shortcomings, Ma Chao's words not only exposed the shortcomings, but also specifically stabbed people's hearts - he pressed Cao Xiu hard, and pointed a big knife at Ma Chao and said: "Ma Mengqi, Hugh should be so rampant." Today, I will first burn your ambush soldiers in the forest, and then cut off your mouth and tongue! ”

"Huh?" Ma Chao pretended to be slightly shocked, and said: "I never thought that in the rat nest, there are really one or two rats with good eyes" After saying this, before Xiahou Yuan completely broke out, Ma Chao shook the gun again, and continued: "Come out and deal with such Cao family rats, there is no need to hide it!" ”

After a few words, in the woods on the west side, a group of people immediately rushed out. Among them, more than 100 people, dressed in the Ma family's fish scale chain armor, with a hundred satin blades, show off their might. At a glance, you can see that it is Ma Chao's personal guard. However, there were more than 1,000 people left, just wearing ordinary leather armor, and some of them were even dressed in peasant robes and barefoot. And the blades in the hands of those people are even more uneven, there are everything: kitchen knives, iron baskets, iron forks, except for the Ma family's personal guards, who are silent and condensed, the other county soldiers and township heroes stand together in a chaotic manner, just like the yellow turban thieves back then. Moreover, it is still the kind of pitiful virtue after being burned by Huangfu Song

"Hahaha!" Even though Xiahou Yuan was very angry with Ma Chao when he came up, when he saw this group of soldiers and horses at this time, he really smiled and his face was a little crooked: "Ma Mengqi, you shouted so loudly before." It turned out to be just a bluff, such a local chicken and tile dog can also compete with a certain subordinate tiger and leopard horseman?! ”

And after Ma Chao heard this, his face turned dark: It is indeed a bit embarrassing to let these people out. However, in order to laugh more happily in the future, let's continue to act

"Oh? Is it? Since General Xiahou underestimated this man so much, why didn't he quickly step forward to fight against him? Ma Chao smiled secretly, he was almost homely, no matter how he looked at it, his expression was: Come on, my brother is so coquettish! If you're not convinced, you're going to beat my brother?
