Sun Ce expressed his embarrassment about Ma Chao's request.

I am about to go to Kuaiji to take up my post, so I don’t have time to teach you. Besides, you are eighteen years old and have already achieved your character, so it is difficult to adjust it. Martial arts are the same as craftsmanship, and it has a strong personal style. It is difficult to force any character that is suitable for practicing martial arts. When you reach the level of martial arts, it depends on your own understanding. You can’t teach it. You have to understand it yourself first. Maybe at some point, the light of inspiration appears, and you will understand it yourself.

Ma Chao was stunned by Sun Ce's statement. He couldn't figure out whether Sun Ce refused or the facts were the case. He looked at Yang Xiu quietly and found Yang Xiu's thoughtful slight head. Looking at Yan Xing again, Yan Xing was in a daze, and he didn't know what to think. Ma Chao didn't know what to do, and Pang De whispered behind him: "It's better to take the post with General Sun, and stay with Xu Duwei for several months. In addition to practicing martial arts, you can also learn some methods of training."

Ma Chao remembered the speed of the soldiers of the personal guard camp formation, and faced the calmness of the warriors without fear, and understood it. He bowed and said, "The wise men said that the benevolent enjoyed mountains, and the wise enjoyed water. He also said that he did not see the mountains, did not know the height of the benevolent, did not see the vast sea, and did not know the vast sea. Chao grew in the northwest, saw the mountains and deserts, but never saw the sea. He heard that the general's hometown was the land of Wu Taibo, and he was adjacent to the sea. Chao was willing to travel with the general, observe the sea and rivers, and increase his knowledge, and may be beneficial to martial arts."

Yang Xiu was shocked. Ma Chao and Yan Xing were of course not only coming to pass the imperial edict, nor were they just competing with Sun Ce. They also had the task of assisting him. Without enough force, it would be difficult for him to have enough hindering Sun Ce. Now Ma Chao wants to follow Sun Ce to take office in Kuaiji, so wouldn't it be against the cart? But Ma Chao was defeated by Xu Chu and was determined to practice martial arts with Sun Ce. He was dissuading him at this time. Can Ma Chao listen? Although he has only learned it well, he cannot teach Ma Chao's martial arts.

Just when Yang Xiu was anxious, Sun Ce shook his head. "It is of course a good thing for the general to travel around the world and broaden his horizons. However, is it appropriate for you to go to Nanyang and go to Kuaiji without authorization? Will it cause criticism?"

Yang Xiu corrected his thoughts and quickly echoed: "General Sun is right, this is not in line with the imperial system. General Ma, it's better to pass on the imperial edict first. It's not too late to talk about martial arts after practicing martial arts."

Sun Ce didn't speak, but smiled meaningfully. Ma Chao was anxious. He came to challenge Sun Ce by the imperial edict, but even Sun Ce's guards could not defeat him. He was defeated and wanted to die. He could not care about any edict. Judging from Sun Ce's tone, Sun Ce didn't want to spread it, but was afraid that someone would criticize him. Who would have criticized him? Yang Xiu in front of him was, and Yang Biao from Chang'an, and these people wanted to be embarrassed. His shame was that his father Ma Teng was embarrassed, and that the Xiliang army was embarrassed. Only when the Xiliang army was embarrassed, Lu Bu and Cao Cao could gain the upper hand again.

Ma Chao was so sad that he ordered someone to receive the edict. "Please ask General Sun to receive the edict."

"Let me change my clothes in the tent."

"No need. The general is a military man. He is wearing military uniforms at this moment. What's wrong with him?" Ma Chao didn't care what Sun Ce said and took out the edict to study. Sun Ce was helpless. Yang Xiu wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He had to watch Ma Chao read the edict. After Ma Chao finished reading the edict, he stuffed the edict into Sun Ce's arms, pulled off the seal and threw it to Yang Xiu. "The edict has been completed, and the emperor's order has been reached. Chao has now resigned from his military position and traveled with General Sun in white. Please send it to Mr. Yang to convey it on his behalf."

Yang Xiu subconsciously took the seal and couldn't help laughing. This Xiliang man is so anxious that he resigned now? Of course, whether this official is done or not is no different for Ma Chao. The five thousand people Ma Teng assigned to Huangfu Song was still Ma Teng. But this is not in their plan at all, and he has no preparation at all.

Just when Yang Xiu was at a loss, Yan Xing also took out the seal from his waist and sent it to Yang Xiu with both hands. He immediately bowed to Sun Ce. "General Sun is like a god in his military service, and his martial arts are so skillful. Xing admires him very much. Although his qualifications are dull, he is willing to travel with the general. Please don't abandon him."

Yang Xiu understood. It was not their intention at the moment, but Han Sui and Ma Teng had a plan, and they wanted to form an alliance with Sun Ce. Ma Chao and Yan Xing were arranged to assist Sun Ce. Xiliang was poor and lacked everything except war horses. But Sun Ce had everything, but war horses were missing. They could benefit each other. When Sun Ce had war horses, they could also get all kinds of supplies, especially weapons.

With Sun Ce as an ally, the people of Xiliang were more confident. Lu Bu and Cao Cao's troops could not balance them at all.

Yang Xiu gritted his teeth with hatred, his face turned blue and red. These cunning barbarians only had interests in their hearts, and there was no loyalty or righteousness at all. Xun Yu also expected them to help him, but as soon as he arrived in Wancheng, they sold the court and wanted to hold Sun Ce's thigh.

Sun Ce was so happy that he could not do anything. Buy two and get one free, Ma Chao, Yan Xing, take a Pang De away, and two hundred Xiliang Jingqi. This is all Guo Jia's credit. The reception for these ten days is not as simple as traveling around, and brainwashing is the key.

"How can I bear the value of the two of you so much? I am ashamed. Please speak in the account." Sun Ceqiang covered his joy and asked Ma Chao and others to go to the tent. After his wish was fulfilled, Ma Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief, rushed to Xu Chu and gave a deep gift.

"I thank the commander for showing mercy and I am very grateful. I will ask the commander for advice in the future."

Xu Chu bowed slightly to return the gift, his face calm and without a trace of complacent. "I would like to discuss with the general and ask about the way together."

Sun Ce and others walked towards the tent, chatting and laughing as they walked. They were all similar in age and were both martial artists. Sun Ce was good at adjusting the atmosphere. A few words made Ma Chao and others feel excited and they met too late. Yang Xiu followed behind alone, feeling lonely and lonely. Looking at the backs of Sun Ce and others and listening to their laughter from time to time, Yang Xiu felt heavy shoulders.

When he arrived at the tent, Sun Ce invited Ma Chao and the other two to take the seat. He called Chen Dao and asked him to settle Ma Chao and Yan Xing's subordinates to prepare a single camp for them. He arranged it next to the Central Army camp to allocate tents, food, grass, drafts and other supplies, and then invited the captains and commanders of each battalion to meet Ma Chao and others. Sun Ce held a banquet to greet them. After three rounds of wine, everyone became enthusiastic. He had to talk about ancient and modern battles and talked about martial arts. He was not satisfied with it, so he fought for two or three rounds. He could not use weapons at the banquet, but he could compete with wrestling and fists.

The people of Xiliang are good at wrestling. Ma Chao won several people in one breath, and finally got some face back and became even more excited. He took advantage of the excitement of drinking to come to Sun Ce.

"General, I'm very daring. I want to fight with the general and have a glimpse of the general's martial arts."

Sun Ce waved his hands repeatedly and declined, "Meng Qi, that's Zhongkang's beautiful words. You can't take it seriously. Although I have some experience in martial arts, I am busy with military affairs every day, and my actual combat power is not as good as Zhongkang. I am far away from my son. If you want to compete in martial arts, just look for them, so there is no need to make me fool of myself."

Although Ma Chao decided to follow Sun Ce, he was still more concerned about Xu Chu, and he was still a little confused about Sun Ce's martial arts. At this moment, he was determined to see Sun Ce's strength and was not willing to give up. He clasped his fists with both hands, knelt down with one leg, and gave a big gift.
