Even though Yuan Shao's identity was high, Ma Chao looked at him with his eyes slanted and did not take him as the leader seriously at all, which made Yuan Shao very unhappy with him.

"Haha, you will know when General Xiaoma has experienced Liu Zhe's power." Yuan Shao snorted coldly, calling Ma Chao a Xiaoma, ready to gain a literal advantage!

"It's better to do this. Both generals are invincible. Liu Zhe is naturally not your opponent. It's better for you to take the lead. How about?" At this time, Li Ru, who had been watching coldly, spoke out.

"Just fight, you're afraid he won't succeed?" Ma Chao agreed immediately. It was too late for Pang De to stop Ma Dai next to him.

Zhang Xun was a little hesitant, but seeing Ma Chao agree so readily, he naturally couldn't say no, and agreed.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed. His eyes looked at Li Ru as if he was looking at his own people. This trick made it so good.

So Yuan Shao nodded quickly and ordered: "Then I'll bother the two generals. The leader of the alliance is here to wait for you to return triumphantly."

Yuan Shao's tone was very polite and kind, and he wanted these two people to test the truth and reality of the other side.

Ma Chao and Zhang Xun left the tent and returned to his military camp, and began to beat drums and light soldiers.

Ma Dai said with a worried look on his face: "Brother, is this a little inappropriate?"

"That's right, young master, I don't know the reality of the enemy. It's too dangerous to cross the river like this." Pang De also agreed with Ma Dai's opinion.

Ma Chao said indifferently: "Are you afraid of me, Ma Chao, are you afraid of him?"

"Brother, don't forget what my uncle told me before leaving." Ma Dai saw that Ma Chao couldn't listen, so he could only move out his father.

When Ma Chao thought of his father's words, he hesitated a little.

Seeing Ma Chao hesitating, Ma Dai further struck while the iron was hot and persuaded: "Brother, we are here, not because we really want to deal with Liu Zhe, but because of the imperial edict, Liu Zhe is the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, the emperor's uncle, the governor of Youzhou, and the Yanhou. He is loyal to the Han Dynasty and his uncle highly respects him. He said that Yuan Shao is a treacherous minister. Brother, if you help Yuan Shao deal with Liu Zhe, you are to help the evildoer. How can you explain to your uncle in the future?"

Ma Chao thought about it, threw his father's words aside, and said, "But I have received the military order and will not act. Wouldn't Yuan Shao have an excuse to target me? Besides, I have already boasted in public. If I don't act, wouldn't I be blind?"

Ma Dai suggested on the side: "Brother, we might as well let Zhang Xun take the lead and make plans? If Zhang Xun wins, we will follow up and act. If Zhang Xun loses, we will have more excuses not to go."

"It's all that." Although Ma Chao was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to do so.

In fact, in his arrogant heart, he had long wanted to fight with Liu Zhe.

Zhang Xun didn't know that Ma Chao had already been lazy. After he ordered his troops and generals, he set up five thousand troops and came out of the camp to the Yellow River to prepare to cross the river.

Ma Chao followed with three thousand cavalrymen and acted at the right time.

Five thousand men boarded the ship in a mess and prepared to cross the river. This time, Zhang Xun sent Lei Bo as the leader and led five thousand men across the river as the pioneer.

"Young Master, what do you think?" After a distance behind Zhang Xun, Sun Ce and three generals stood far away. Han Dang whispered to Sun Ce.

After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce took his subordinates to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu had always coveted the jade seal in his hand. This time he followed him out to avoid Yuan Shu's greedy gaze.

"I don't know." Sun Ce said casually. He was not interested in attacking Liu Zhe. Instead, his eyes were staring at the three thousand cavalrymen brought by Ma Chao, with envy in his eyes.

He is about the same age as Ma Chao, but he has already led the army alone, and he is still living under the fence, looking at people's faces.

Sun Ce said to himself: "It would be great if I had three thousand soldiers, so that I could fight back to Jiangdong immediately."

Cheng Pu was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly looked around and whispered: "Young Master, be careful of your words. Once Yuan Shu knows this, we will be in danger."

"I know." Sun Ce said depressedly. His family was in the hands of Yuan Shu and could only be controlled by Yuan Shu.

"well…"

Amid Sun Ce's long sigh, the crossing of the river had begun.

The crossing of the river was smooth, without any obstacles, and there was not even a figure on the other side.

"Ha ha…"

Seeing this, Zhang Xun laughed loudly. He shouted to Yuan Shao: "Leader, look? There is nothing scary at all. Liu Zhe doesn't know how to fight at all, and he doesn't even understand the principle of attacking halfway. What else can I be afraid of?"

Zhang Xun's tone was full of disdain. He was a little worried at first. He was afraid that the opponent would attack while his subordinates crossed the river. But now it seems that he let go of his heart early.

"Leader, watch it," Zhang Xun said confidently: "Now my people are starting to land. As long as my people stand firm, no matter how many people come from the other side, it will be useless."

Yuan Shao was also depressed. If he had known that there was no danger in crossing the river, he might as well send a large army to go there. In this way, as long as he gains a foothold on the opposite side, he can advance and attack and defend.

So Yuan Shao could only continue to endure Zhang Xun's complacency, but there was no way!
