From the perspective of winning or losing, Liu Yu could agree to the bet proposed by Ma Chao.

At this time, Ma Chao was barely twenty years old, and his martial arts skills had not yet reached their peak.

At this time, after experiencing the battles with Hua Xiong and Lu Bu, Guan Yu had obviously reached another level.

There was no possibility at all for Ma Chao to defeat Guan Yu.

But Liu Yu could not agree, the reason was very simple, as the uncle of the Han Dynasty, he was protecting the Han Dynasty and serving the emperor of the Han Dynasty, if the world knew that he was gambling with the emperor, it would definitely be a big blow to his own prestige.

"What an arrogant Ma Mengqi." Liu Yu sneered, with a hint of murderous intent in his smile, "After all this, you still dare to covet the emperor. Do you really think that the swords of my soldiers are not sharp?"

After saying that, Liu Yu waved his hand gently.

On the outskirts of these military formations, countless soldiers rushed out.

These armored soldiers and cavalry were a mixed group, full of fighting spirit and murderous intent, and there were at least ten thousand of them.

"Kill the enemy."

"Kill the enemy."

……

……

The shouts and cries of killing reached the sky and echoed in the woods for a long time.

Seeing this situation, Ma Teng secretly groaned in his heart. His prediction was correct, Liu Yu had indeed set an ambush!

Thoughts raced through his mind, and he already understood why Liu Yu did this.

It was obvious that he wanted to recruit himself.

Otherwise, he would not have said so much. He only needed to let the ambushed soldiers rush forward. No matter how powerful his cavalry were, they might not be able to break out of the encirclement.

"Uncle, I am sorry for my rude words. Please forgive me."

Liu Yu smiled faintly. In this game, he had complete control of the initiative. If he gave an order, none of these Xiliang cavalrymen would be able to escape from the encirclement he had set up.

Even though Ma Chao was brave, it was impossible for him to perform a miracle when surrounded by heavy troops.

He is not Zhao Zilong, and he is not Cao Mengde.

He will not be allowed to have the opportunity to go in and out of the camp seven times.

Guan Yu will go up and entangle Ma Chao first, and Chen Dao will also attack Ma Chao with a spear as soon as possible.

There is also Wang Yue standing next to him. With these three people supporting him, it would be a real joke if Ma Chao could escape with his life.

Liu Yu also deployed archers on the periphery. Even if Ma Chao could escape from the hands of these three men by chance, he would be pierced by thousands of arrows.

The reason why he did not order the soldiers to attack immediately was that he really wanted to recruit them.

Ma Chao's bravery played a part in this. The more important reason was that Xiliang was unstable, and by recruiting Ma Chao, he stabilized the situation in Xiliang at the lowest cost.

Only when Xiliang is stable can Chang'an City be free of worries and he can manage Luoyang with confidence.

Of course, this is the most ideal outcome in Liu Yu's plan.

If they refused to change their ways, Liu Yu wouldn't mind killing them all.

If this situation occurs, unrest is likely to occur in Xiliang, and his strategic focus will shift to Xiliang.

He would use Luoyang as the front line of defense, and even abandon Luoyang if necessary, concentrating all his strength to attack Xiliang. Only after he completely pacified this force would he consider going east to compete with heroes all over the world.

If things develop in this direction, Liu Yu's plan will be greatly delayed, but Liu Yu will not care. Since they are not convinced, he will beat them until they submit.

Isn't it just killing? Isn't it just slowing down your own development by a few years?

No big deal.

He didn't believe that Yuan Shao or Cao Cao would have the strength to unify the Central Plains in just a few years.

Even if the development of things exceeded his expectations and someone really unified the Central Plains, Liu Yu would not worry at all.

He occupied Chang'an City, stabilized Xiliang, and was about to send troops to capture Hanzhong and Western Shu.

As long as he occupies these two places, he will still have the strength to compete for the world.

"Now you are the fish and I am the knife. I don't have much choice. If you don't want to fight? Then let's stop here."

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he slowly raised one hand.

Ma Chao's eyes flashed. Liu Yu was right. Judging from the current situation, he had no room for bargaining. His only choice was to accept Liu Yu's bet.

Take up the challenge and win!

Only in this way can he lead the remaining Xiliang cavalry to escape safely.

"Uncle, I am willing to fight." Ma Chao's voice was a little hoarse, and it was unclear whether it was due to excitement or nervousness. "If I win, please abide by the agreement just now, uncle."

Liu Yu nodded. Currently, all developments were proceeding according to his settings.

"Don't worry, if you can win, you can lead the troops back. As long as you don't enter Chang'an City in the future, I can guarantee that you will have no worries in Xiliang within ten years."

"Don't worry, uncle. They won't have such an opportunity." Guan Yu looked arrogant and rode out, "Get on the horse. Since you are young, I can give you three moves."

Ma Chao jumped onto his horse, tightly gripped the spear in his hand, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"There has never been anyone who can defeat me in three moves, and there won't be anyone in the future. Watch out."

After saying this, he rode his horse forward, and his spear shot out like a dragon, attacking Guan Yu directly in the face.

Guan Yu looked at the attacking spear and dodged sideways.

Shouting in his mouth.

"one move."

Seeing that Guan Yu had dodged his move, Ma Chao changed the stabbing attack to a piercing attack with the spear in his hand and attacked Guan Yu's throat.

Guan Yu spurred his horse forward, took two steps, and dodged this attack again, with still little expression on his face.

"Two moves."

Liu Yu looked at Guan Yu, who had a proud face and long flowing beard, and wanted to slap him on the head.

This is a fight that concerns his strategic plan. Should he act so nonchalant and arrogant?

Ma Chao's martial arts skills are quite high, so you'd better be cautious. If you lose this battle due to your carelessness, all your strategic plans may have to be revised.

Liu Yu looked calm, as if everything was under control, but he was actually very nervous.

He was really afraid that Guan Yu would make a mistake and lose to Ma Chao.

If I had known that Guan Yu insisted on pretending to be awesome to the end, I would have sent Chen Dao to fight.

With Chen Dao's martial arts skills at this time, he still had great hope of victory against Ma Chao.

The key is that it is stable and basically there will be no mistakes.

As long as he remains steady and doesn't make any mistakes, Ma Chao will definitely lose.

While Liu Yu was daydreaming, Guan Yu and Ma Chao had already exchanged dozens of moves.

Although Guan Yu had the upper hand, he did not defeat Ma Chao quickly.

Although Ma Chao was not as good as Guan Yu at this time, his martial arts were still good.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged more than a hundred moves.

Guan Yu had completely put away his contempt at this time, and his long beard fluttered as his attacks became more and more ruthless.

Faced with Guan Yu's all-out attack, Ma Chao soon found himself unable to withstand any of his attacks.

Guan Yu seized an opportunity, and his Green Dragon Crescent Blade turned into a green light and fell on Ma Chao's neck.
