On the official road, a rout army fled in a hurry, and the leaders were Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"General, Chen Cang is in front, but there is Weishui blocking the road on the opposite side, if I don't wait to cross Weishui as soon as possible, I'm afraid that Fan Chou's army behind will catch up!"

Ma Teng's face showed a look of exhaustion, and he looked at the miserable soldiers who followed him, and suddenly felt sad.

"Wenyue, if it weren't for me this time, how could I have drawn you into this war? I'm ashamed of you as a brother. ”

Under the Changping view, Fan Chou personally risked the arrow stone and led the Xiliang army to kill Ma Teng and Han Sui's army without fear of death. Because of Fan Choucane's rebuke of Li Li, the officers and men of the three armies did not dare to disobey the military orders, and they marched forward bravely one by one, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and the demoralized Ma Tengjun could not resist it at all.

Not long after the two sides fought, Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops began to be completely defeated. Seeing that the defeat was decided, the two had no choice but to lead the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Chencang.

Han Sui's face was not very good-looking, and after he heard Ma Teng's words, he immediately said unhappily: "You and I are brothers, how can my brother say such a thing?" Even if he was defeated and died this time, there was no resentment in his heart. ”

When Ma Teng heard this, his heart was moved. He looked at the rolling river in front of him, sighed and said: "Now there is a big river blocking the road in front of us, and there are Fan Chou chasing soldiers behind, and we will all die today without a place to be buried!" ”

At this moment, a young general behind Ma Teng stepped forward angrily and said, "Why did my father increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige? In my eyes, Fan Choujun is just a crumbling dog. ”

"Our army now has no way to survive, and there are pursuers behind it, and at this time, we can learn from Han Xin's backwater. As long as my father gives me an army, I should take off Fan Chou's head and sacrifice it in front of my father. ”

When Han Sui heard the young general's words, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Ma Teng rebuked him and said: "Although fighting against the water is a strategy to survive in the death, since ancient times, how many people have been able to turn defeat into victory in this situation?" ”

"Maybe only a genius like Han Xin can use such strategies as he can take advantage of the situation. Besides, Fan Chou, the commander of the enemy army, is a battle-hardened general, and how can he be compared with Chen Yu, the commander of the Zhao army who underestimated the enemy at that time? ”

Then, he sighed heavily and said to the young general: "Although you are brave, you don't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Personal bravery, after all, is the courage of the horseman, you should remember! ”

The young general is none other than Ma Chao, who is only eighteen years old. He was reprimanded by Ma Teng, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to speak out, so he had to retreat behind Ma Teng.

Ma Teng knew that Han Sui was resourceful, so he looked at him and said, "Wenyue, for the current situation, I don't know if you have any way to get out?" ”

Han Sui pondered for a while and said: "If you cross the river now and have not crossed the Weishui, you will be caught up by Fan Chou's troops, and this plan is not advisable; If we return to battle, with Fan Chou's bravery and the ferocity of the Xiliang army, our army with low morale will definitely have a hard chance of winning. ”

Hearing Han Sui's words, Ma Teng's eyes dimmed, he let out a long sigh and said, "Could it be that I am going to die here today?" ”

Han Sui suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry, Fan Chou and I are fellow villagers, and our relationship is irreversible." If I go alone to catch up with him, he will not embarrass us when he thinks of the past friendship. ”

When Ma Teng heard this, he was first overjoyed, and said worriedly: "Even though you usually have some friendships, but now that the two armies are fighting, how can he easily let us go?" What if he detains you when Wen Yue goes to catch up with him? ”

Han Sui said confidently: "Fan Chou will never be like this!" ”

"Stomp, stomp!"

As soon as Han Sui finished speaking, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and even Ma Teng and the others on the bank of the Weishui River felt the shaking of the ground. When Ma Teng and Han Suijun saw this, they were all shocked in their hearts, and their faces also showed a look of fear.

Only Han Sui still had a calm look on his face.

"Stop!"

Fan Choujian finally caught up with Ma Tengjun, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Ma Teng and Han Suijun were completely annihilated this time, his prestige in the Xiliang Army would surpass that of Li Dao and Guo Yan. When the time comes, he doesn't need to look at the faces of the two of them.

"Hey, what are you trying to do?"

Fan Chou suddenly saw Han Sui alone, walking in the direction of the Xiliang Army.

"Bow and arrow wound, aim for the incoming!"

Before Fan Chou could speak, his lieutenant had already given an order.

When Fan Chou heard this, his face sank, and he said: "The other party came alone, if I greeted him with a bow and arrow, would it be a way of hospitality?" ”

The soldiers, who had just put their arrows on the bowstrings, hurriedly put down their bows and arrows.

Han Sui patted his horse to a distance of fifty steps from Fan Choujun, and then he grabbed the advancing war horse and shouted loudly to Fan Chou in the formation: "We are not fighting for personal grievances, but only for the sake of the world. A certain person who is from the same county as his foot wants to say goodbye to the general. ”

When Fan Chou heard this, he secretly thought in his heart: "Wen Yue and I have had a lot of friendships in the past. Even when the Taishi was there, he praised Wen Yue. Today he wants to say goodbye to me in front of the battle, if I don't go, won't it seem a little unkind? ”

Thinking of this, Fan Chou did not hesitate, and went to meet Han Sui.

Although Dong Zhuo was the general of the crusade against the Qiang rebellion at that time, Han Sui was the leader of the rebels. But the relationship between Han Sui and Dong Zhuo and his generals is very close.

As mentioned earlier, Dong Zhuo relied on suppressing the Qiang rebellion to become a warlord on one side. The Qiang rebellion could not be pacified for a long time, and it was not because Dong Zhuo wanted to raise his own respect.

Therefore, the relationship between Fan Chou and Han Sui is irreversible, but it is reasonable.

When Fan Chou patted the horse and came to Han Sui, Han Sui had already dismounted from the war horse and stood on the ground. Fan Chou naturally didn't either, and continued to ride on the horse arrogantly.

Han Sui looked at Fan Chou for a while, and then sighed and said, "Does the general remember what happened in Jincheng when he was young?" ”

Fan Chou was stunned when he heard this, and remembered the past when two young and poor young people with big ambitions talked about the world's major events together.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, stepped forward to hold Han Sui's arm, and said, "When you were young, how could you easily forget it?" ”

Han Sui sighed and said, "But I don't want to, two people who are like brothers and sisters in the past, now that they meet in this situation." ”

Fan Chou smiled bitterly, and sighed in his heart.

The two of them were in the middle of the battlefield like this, talking happily and talking a lot about the past. As he spoke, bursts of laughter came into the two armies.

Fan Chou didn't notice that in his army, there was a pair of resentful eyes, staring at his back. This person is Li Li, who was almost beaten to death by Fan Chou.

With Li Li's injuries, he should not have been on the battlefield in today's battle. But after Fan Chou's defeat of Ma Tengjun, Li Li also wanted to get some credit, so he ignored the pain of his body and forced himself to come to chase and kill Ma Tengjun.

"The two of them are so close to each other, Fan Chou must have two hearts."

Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed on Li Li's face.

No one knows what Li Li is thinking. Fan Chou and Han Sui, who were in the center of the battlefield, were still talking intimately.

Suddenly, Han Sui's face turned straight and said to Fan Chou: "Now that the princes are rising, the world is unpredictable. We are from the same state, so doesn't my brother want to let me and others live? ”

Fan Chou was shocked in his heart, and his face showed embarrassment: "Although we have been friends with each other before, today we are each our own master, if we make an appointment to go back, wouldn't it be because of private affairs?" ”

Han Sui shook his head and said meaningfully: "Each is its master, which is the eldest brother's lord?" ”

Fan Chou was stunned, and muttered to himself in a somewhat distracted manner: "Yes, since the death of the Taishi, who is my lord?" ”

Seeing Fan Chou's expression, Han Sui was overjoyed and said, "Do you think that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are the heroes?" ”

Fan Chou heard Han Sui's words and said disdainfully: "These two are just a husband, how can they be worthy of the word 'male master'?" ”

Han Sui also said: "What a beautiful Taishi was at the beginning, but he didn't dare to kill the virtuous. How can Li Dao and Guo Yan dare to coerce the Son of Heaven and cholera dynasty? ”

"Even if these two men are able to prevail for a while, they will die one day without a place to be buried. The elder brother is both civil and military, and he is powerful and cool, how can he be willing to accompany the funeral of these two people? Brother's future, please plan early. ”

Fan Chou was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Although I have this intention, why is it easy to get rid of them if I want to get rid of them?" ”

Han Sui took the opportunity to admonish: "Brother, it's better to return to Chang'an first, so as to wait for the world to change." If there is an opportunity, you can gather your subordinates and compete with Li Dao and Guo Yan; If nothing can be done, the elder brother can return to Xiliang. ”

"At that time, Shoucheng and I will join forces with my brother, why worry about big things?"

Fan Chou thought for a moment and said: "A certain person does not want to be an enemy with Wen Yue, today you and Shoucheng lead the troops to leave, and a certain will never chase after you!" ”

Han Sui was overjoyed, and then said with some worry: "My brother let me go, but how did he explain to Li Dao and Guo Yan?" ”

Fan Chou said with some pride: "If it was before, I would still be afraid of them." However, the victory in this battle made my prestige in the Xiliang Army no worse than the two of them. ”

"With my prestige and the strength in my hands, they will not dare to touch me!"

Han Sui waved to Fan Chou and said, "In this way, I thank my brother here." ”

Then, the two talked for a while, and then Han Sui rode back to his main formation.

When Ma Teng and Han Suijun began to cross Weishui without scruples, Fan Chou secretly sighed in his heart: "Since Wen Yue trusts me so much, how can I lose my trust." ”

Then, Fan Chou restrained the three armies and prevented them from attacking Ma Teng's army.

After the war ended and the Xiliang army returned to Chang'an, Li Dao was furious when he saw his nephew being beaten like this.

Li Li took the opportunity to say to Li Dao: "Uncle, Fan and Han Yuma laughed, they didn't know what to say, but they loved each other very closely. And Fan Chou bravely crowned the three armies, and won the hearts of the army, so my uncle should be careful of this person. ”

After listening to Li Li's words, Li Wei was jealous of Fan Chou in his heart.
