Zhang Can stood among the corpses on the ground, looking up at the sky, motionless.
The clothes on his body were splashed with blood, and he looked extremely ferocious, as if Chi You had been reincarnated.
The knights passing by him all looked at him with admiration.
The Red Eagle Cavalry's individual combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.
And he fought one against ten and killed so many people on the other side.
His combat power can be said to be very astonishing.
Finally, a tall horse stopped beside him.
The general on the horse was wearing heavy armor, and his face under the iron helmet was fair and delicate.
He looked like a well-dressed scholar from a wealthy family, not a martial artist at all.
The white-faced general reined in the reins, glanced at Zhang Can and the dead bodies everywhere, and said, "You did all this alone."
Zhang Can didn't seem to hear anything, but a female voice was dissatisfied and shouted: "Hey, I was reprimanded for saving you.
Why don't you give me some response?
General Hussar is asking you something."
Hearing this name, Zhang Can slowly raised his head and nodded slightly: "You are very famous.
If your name hadn't been mentioned, Gao Lan would not have lost his mind."
This rude and confusing answer made Ma Chao very interesting.
He leaned over and said: "What a characterful guy.
Recently, there are more and more weirdos in the army."
After saying that, Ma Chao looked behind Han Gu.
Gu glanced at him and continued: "Shadow reported that you assassinated Gao Lan alone because you had a grudge against Gao Lan."
"There is a grudge."
Zhang Can said.
"Come on, let's talk.
I just like hearing this kind of gossip."
Zhang Can glanced at Ma Chao and suddenly had an inexplicable feeling about the man in front of him.
He didn't think he could tell the deep hatred in his heart, but under the gaze of Ma Chao's clear eyes, he unconsciously opened his mouth and told the story of his relationship with Gao Lan.
In a trance, seven years of dusty memories suddenly surged.
When Zhang Can didn't know it, his words became much smoother: That was more than ten years ago.
At that time, Zhang Can was just a resident near Yecheng.
When he was playing outside, he met the dying Gao Lan.
At that time, Gao Lan was just an exiled orphan.
After being taken in by Zhang Can's parents, he and Zhang Can have always been as close as brothers and supported each other.
Later, Hebei Spear King Han Rong saw that the two had good qualifications, so he accepted them as disciples.
Later, Yuan Shao captured Ye City, and Han Rong was recruited by Yuan Shao as his general.
Zhang Can did not want to live a life of fighting on the battlefield, so he quit Han Rong's sect.
However, Gao Lan was obsessed with power and followed Han Rong into the Yuan family.
However, later on, there was a mutiny in Wei County, and the Black Mountain Army Yu Du led tens of thousands of troops to attack Yecheng, and Zhang Can's village was inevitably spared.
Zhang Can fought desperately, but when he woke up, he found that Gao Lan was beside him and proudly told him that he had led an army to repel the village where the Black Mountain Army lived and killed all the traitors.
Zhang Can was shocked to find that the village Gao Lan mentioned was actually his hometown.
Gao Lan's answer was that he understood the bond between Zhang Can and the two of them could serve Yuan Gong together from now on and be famous for future generations.
Zhang Can was immediately heartbroken, suddenly burst into flames, and stabbed Gao Lan in the face.
Under Gao Lan's stop, Zhang Can walked out of the camp of ten thousand people alone.
From then on, for seven years, Zhang Can stopped thinking about assassinating Gao Lan all the time.
Unfortunately, as Gao Lan's reputation grew, Zhang Can had fewer and fewer opportunities to do it.
After listening to this story, Ma Chao's expression didn't change much.

In fact, in this troubled world, if you are willing, everyone who survives has a past that can be written down.
However, after Ma Chao heard that Zhang Can and Gao Lan were both Han Rong's disciples, he couldn't help but said curiously: "You know, Han Rong is dead, right?"
"Yes, he was killed by the best in the world."
Zhang Can answered simply.
"Then you should know that Lu Bu killed Han Rong to save me, right?"
"Know."
"Don't you want to avenge your master?"
"I don't want to."
At this point, Zhang Can paused for a moment, looked at Ma Chao and said: "Master knew that he would eventually die on this road, so he never had any regrets.
Moreover, I also hate him and hate him for teaching He gave me my martial arts skills, and I hate him even more for training Gao Lan, that white-eyed wolf in human skin."
After hearing this, Ma Chao seemed to be more interested in Zhang Can.
He stretched out his hand to Zhang Can and said, "I think you are good at fencing.
Why don't you follow me?"
After hearing this, the followers next to him showed envy.
This is simply the best thing in the world.
A piece of pork shoulder fell off, and in one step he went from a lowly ranger to a hussar general's personal attendant.
But Zhang Can shook his head: "As long as Gao Lan is dead, I will not be loyal to anyone.
In my eyes, I only have Gao Lan."
"Gao Lan is already a general under Yuan Shao.
With your own strength, you have very few opportunities to contact him.
The only way is to kill him on the battlefield.
Don't forget, Gao Lan, besides being a red In addition to the captain of the Eagle Cavalry, he is also one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei.
Oh, no, Wen Chou and Han Rong have passed away, and now there are only three Court Pillars left."
Ma Chao seemed quite patient.
"Can I just kill Gao Lan?"
Zhang Can asked again.
Ma Chao smiled, pointed at his face and said, "Even though I look like a pretty boy, I always keep my word.
Don't worry, I promise you will only fight against Gao Lan in the future."
He said this, But I added in my heart: If Yuan Jun wants to kill you before killing Gao Lan, and you resist, it won't be my problem.
"Okay."
Zhang Can agreed simply.
He tore open his chest and exposed the scars on his chest: "As long as I can kill Gao Lan, I can give my life to anyone."
Ma Chao laughed and ordered the people around him. : "Okay, bring him a horse, and give him a pair of armor and an iron sword."
Then he turned the horse's head and walked away.
Zhang Can looked blank and did not thank him.
He followed the troops silently, but kept a certain distance from Ma Chao.
Zhang Can was not very good at riding a horse.
His whole body was crooked, and he desperately grabbed the horse's mane with both hands to prevent him from falling.
This action was seen by Han Gugu, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Zhang Can looked back at Han Gugu's weird riding skills and couldn't help but smile.
"It's a pity that we lost a good horse again.
You two should be careful and don't shave off all the mane of the horse.
That's a good horse from Dawan."
Ma Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling quite distressed: Indeed, in this troubled world, the value of a good horse from Dawan is...
It's enough to buy hundreds of famous bandits.

After this small interlude, this mixed army of infantry and cavalry continued to move north to Chang'an.
The 20,000 Parthian slave corps had reached the front line.
In this dispatch, Ma Chao led 3,000 Parthian slave corps and 2,000 Xiliang cavalry.
Their speed was not fast enough for a forced march, but they were definitely not slow either.
Scouts kept rushing back and forth, summarizing the surrounding situation to Ma Chao.
Until late at night, Ma Chao finally got the news he wanted: the baggage train leaving Jinyang was forty miles ahead.
Ma Chao spread out the map on his horse, measured it with his fingers, and held his chin in deep thought: This distance was definitely carefully calculated by his opponent.
A quick pursuit at night can only lead to a chaotic night battle, and the baggage train can easily escape under the cover of darkness; if we wait until early tomorrow morning to pursue, the baggage train will be closer to the high-ranking cadre army camp, and it is likely that the main force of Yuan's army will eat it up.
It's a dilemma.
Yes, after the initial defeat of the high-ranking cadres, all the food, grass and baggage of the 120,000-strong army had been captured by the high-ranking cadres and Shen Shen.
Although Ma Chao can completely wait for the 400,000 troops to gather and swallow up the senior cadres and the review and distribution department in one fell swoop.
However, at the same time, Yan Liang led one hundred thousand elite troops and was about to arrive at Yanshi.
Ma Chao picked up a piece of charcoal, drew a few strokes on the map, took out some calculation chips, and did some calculations.
Finally, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Pass my order, the whole army will continue to advance, 30% slower than the normal march."
Ma Chao gave the instruction.
But Huang Yuan raised a question: "My lord, if we march like this, we will almost be friends with each other when we approach the baggage train.
It will be too dark at that time to encircle and annihilate."
Ma Chao waved the charcoal pen in his hand and said something puzzling: "Don't worry, we won't come into contact with the baggage train."
Then he waved his pen like flying and wrote a few more orders, and several shadow messengers flew He generally left the group and ran in different directions.
After doing all this, Ma Chao called Zhang Can and Hang Gugu over and said, "You two will practice your riding skills later.
I will give you two a task now."
After the two listened to the instructions, Han Gugu only said one word: "Okay."
Zhang Can asked, "Where is Gao Lan?"
"Should be there
