Wancheng, carpenter store.

A sweaty carpenter handed a saddle to Ma Yue and said in awe, "Chief, according to the drawing you made, I have made a sample, do you see anything wrong first?"

Ma Yue said, "Someone, take the horse!"

Ma Yue personally took the improved saddle from the carpenter and put it on the horse's back, and locked it tightly with a sackcloth belt woven through the buckle, then turned around and bellowed, "Pei Yuan Shao!"

Pei Yuan Shao looked awe-inspiring and said morosely, "Yes!"

"Get on the horse!"

"As ordered."

Pei Yuan Shao promised, two steps forward to reach out to hold the saddle and rolled onto the horse, a butt just sat down and said with a surprised eek: "Huh, how this side has an extra stirrup? Ha ha, but more comfortable."

Pei Yuan Shao's words fell, not far from the sound of horse hooves, only to see the towering black man Guan Hai has been perched on top of a tall horse appeared, Guan Hai hand holding a long knife, eyes murderous, the whole person is like a cheetah found prey, has been firmly locked Pei Yuan Shao.

"The match begins!"

Ma Yue smiled morosely, his eyes swept through a trace of cold flame. At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, there was still only one single side of the stirrup, the purpose of which was only to facilitate the rider to get on and off the horse, not to improve the stability and flexibility of the rider on the horse. In other words, people in this era did not yet know how significant the impact of stirrups was on the cavalry's combat power.

"Drink!"

"Ha!"

Pei Yuan Shao shouted, his eyes burning with killing intent, and he steered his horse to meet Guan Hai, who also shouted and steered his horse to meet him, the two horsemen entered and met each other in a flash, Pei Yuan Shao and Guan Hai swung their swords at the same time, cutting together without any finesse, and the clear sound of iron and gold resounded through the clouds and began to exhaust for a long time.

The two war horses under their crotches simultaneously raised their heads and let out a sad neigh, and crossed over.

Pei Yuan Shao's majestic body trembled violently, such as by heavenly thunder devouring the body, frowning face was suddenly a blood red, Pei Yuan Shao almost gritted steel teeth to swallow back the mouth of hot blood to the throat. However, although Pei Yuan Shao was hit by Guan Hai a knife to vomit blood, but still firmly on horseback.

On the contrary, Guan Hai was not so lucky! Fortunately, this guy is very strong and quick to react, the moment of crisis legs fiercely clenched the horse's belly to not fall off the horse, however, his luck also ends here, the poor war horse is already overwhelmed, and this is so battered by Guan Hai, can not hold on, whinnying a whinny, exhausted to the ground.

Guan Hai's huge body was thrown far away, hitting the ground with a loud bang.

They did not know that Pei Yuan Shao had vomited blood and was injured, but they only saw that Guan Hai was actually swept off his horse by Pei Yuan Shao's sword, which is not a loss?

Pei Yuan Shao finally took a breath and laughed long and hard, "Hahahaha, old Guan, you also have today, painful, painful!"

Guan Hai rolled up from the ground with a bone and roared with a black face: "No, no, no, no, no, no!"

Guan Hai's heart is incomparably depressed, last time also because the horse lost to Ma Yue, this time actually lost to Pei Yuan Shao because of the horsepower is not good.

"A great man should be able to take up and put down, losing is losing, how dare not admit?"

"I'm not not good, it's because the mount is too heavy, how about when I change the mount and compare again?"

"No need to compete!"

Ma Yue coldly snorted, interrupting the argument between the two, but his heart was astonished, a small stirrup can really play an unimaginable role! Without the help of stirrups, Pei Yuan Shao would not have been able to sit comfortably on the back of the horse, and would have been swept away by Guan Hai several feet away.

Who said that a small stone can't break a big tile?

A small stirrup, a small piece of horseshoe, is enough to help Ma Yue build an unprecedentedly powerful iron cavalry! At that time, ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains, a thousand miles of rivers and rivers would be at the mercy of the eight hundred stragglers. Who could help him if he rode and plundered like a hunting expedition? When five years have passed, the emperor died, and the world was in chaos, Ma Yue and his eight hundred bandits should have come to the end, and should live a good life.

However, all of this is based on He Jin's compromise and really driving the army and horses to exchange for He Zhen.

Ma Yue turned around and looked north with his head cocked, He Jin ...... would compromise? Although Ma Yue did his best to fight, but he still does not know what the result will be? But even if he ultimately fails, even if he cannot form a cavalry, Ma Yue will never be discouraged, he will still turn to the Central Plains with his eight hundred stragglers and do everything he can - to live well!

......

Early in the morning, the loud bullhorn sounded through the barracks, and the well-trained elite Han troops marched out from the camp in a line and formed up in the open space outside the camp, with the arrays of the army and the killing machines in the field, starting the daily routine drill. The soldiers accompanying the army are shuttling back and forth in the camp, busy making fires and meals.

The general of Huben, Yuan Jue, unexpectedly appeared in front of the generals in the attire of an ordinary housekeeper, lightly dressed.

All the generals were stunned, but Yuan Jue smiled and said to Sun Jian and Zhang Xun, "Wentai, Yimou, do you dare to follow me to Wancheng and meet Ma Yue, the leader of the 800 stragglers?"

Sun Jian was brave and said, "I dare not!"

But Zhang Xun hurriedly discouraged, "Three armies can not be without a general, the general must not lightly go to the danger."

Yuan Shu smiled blandly and said, "No matter, Ma Yue wants 2,000 horses, we will go in disguise as the general's family soldiers, so there is no worry about our lives."

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.

Yuan Shu said sternly, "I have already decided, don't say anything more."

Zhang Xun had no choice but to say, "In that case, the last general is willing to go."

Yuan Shu turned his anger into joy and said with a smile, "In that case, you can bring your personal attendants and leave immediately."

Yuan Shu ordered his army to stay in Luyang for the time being, and he himself only led more than ten horses to leave the camp, with Sun Jian leading Zu Mao, and Zhang Xun also selected more than ten strong soldiers to accompany him, and a group of dozens of people came towards Wancheng.

When the darkness was approaching, Yuan Jue and his party had arrived at the boundary of Bowang County, and were about to take a rest, the sound of killing suddenly broke out in front of them, and the ground shook and the mountains shook, and smoke and dust rolled around.

Sun Jian's face sank, reaching out to touch the weapons, but was stopped by Yuan Shu with a wink, the rest did not dare to move.

The cavalry, although wearing Han robes and armor, wearing Han waist swords and bows and arrows, is obviously not a Han cavalry, the leader of the big man's face like a pot, a dark, long, tall and strong, two long legs from the back of the horse can almost tiptoe to the ground! The end is very majestic.

The black-faced man dropped his long sword in his hand, gently patted Yuan Shu's shoulder, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Yuan Shu answered calmly: "I am He Xian, the housekeeper of the current general's residence, and the people accompanying me are all the family soldiers of the general's residence."

The black-faced man said, "In that case, you have come to offer your horses?"

Yuan Shu said, "Exactly, 2000 horses are already in Lu Yang, but we need to see the old master and the horse chief first, so that we can discuss the exchange in detail."

The black-faced man smiled morosely, revealing his white teeth, and said, "Come with me."

......

Wancheng Yi Zhuang, Zou Yu Niang is helping Liu Yan to prepare food.

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.

Eight hundred bandits reoccupied Fuyang, Liu Yan asked Ma Yue allowed Zou Yu Niang from the prison to rescue the time, poor this delicate little lady has been on a hunger strike for several days, breath dying, if not Liu Yan careful treatment, careful guidance, Zou Yu Niang is afraid that has long been aromatic perish more time.

This time, the two seem to talk about the sad place.

Liu Yan sighed and said: "Good sister, really say this matter but also can not blame Ma Yue, he is the leader of the eight hundred stragglers, it is necessary to always think for the 800 brothers under his command, so do just to let his brothers have a chance to live, just like your brother for the benefit of the Zou family, determined to expel you from the family, is a reason. "

Zou Yu Niang sighed quietly, whispered: "I know, so I no longer hate him, nor do I hate big brother, everything is just fate, Yu Niang was born to endure these trials and tribulations just."

Liu Yan is also a quiet sigh, the beauty of the eyes swept through a trace of tenderness, but in the end can not say a word of comfort to.
