I saw him come to Ma Chao's approach and salute: "Little, I've seen the young general, the eldest lady!" There is a letter from the mistress asking for help. ”

The scout said and took out a bamboo tube sealed with fire paint, naturally someone handed the bamboo tube to Ma Chao's approach, Ma Chao was very anxious to open the bamboo tube, there was a letter written on cloth inside, Ma Chao's face immediately changed after reading it.

"Big brother, what's going on?" Ma Yunlu also asked anxiously. "Little sister, look at it for yourself!" Ma Chao said and handed the letter to Ma Yunlu.

"Big brother, then let's send troops quickly! Rescue soldiers are like fighting fires, and the sooner you arrive, the more likely your mother will be rescued. Ma Yunlu said.

So, what's going on? It turned out that in the first few days, after hearing the news of Ma Teng's murder, the Qiang family in Jiuquan County was attacked by Han Sui's soldiers and horses, so the Qiang family and Ma Tie led the three thousand soldiers and horses of Jiuquan County and the Ma family, and after sending letters to Ma Chao and Pang De, they immediately got up and escaped from the south gate and rushed to Jincheng County.

At the beginning, they were the same as Ma Chao, and there were only a few small battles, all of which were in contact with some small groups of soldiers and horses of Han Sui, but they were also in danger, just when they were about to enter Jincheng County, there was an accident, the most dangerous place was Wuwei County, but when the Qiang clan and Ma Tie passed through Wuwei County, they were very nervous and extremely careful, who knew that nothing happened, but when it was safe, there was an accident.

In the end, Ma Tie and the Qiang clan, as well as the Ma family and three thousand soldiers and horses, were ambushed by the soldiers and horses that Han Sui had already ambushed. And the soldiers and horses who ambushed them were 5,000 elite soldiers led by Yan Xing, and the result was self-evident that in the end, the Ma family was outnumbered, and even Ma Tie died in the chaos, and the Qiang clan led the only remaining more than 1,000 people and horses in danger, and hid on a small hill at the junction of Wuwei County and Jincheng County, which is called Pingxi Mountain.

This mountain, the radius is not large, the altitude is not high, but the Qiang and Ma's family still have more than 1,000 horses, but it is just a lingering breath, but fortunately, it can be regarded as a temporary hold, and finally the Qiang family sent a letter of help to Ma Chao, in fact, the Qiang family is also afraid of the enemy's conspiracy, but even if it is the enemy's plan, it is also a Yang conspiracy, and the Qiang family can not ignore Ma Teng's family.

At this time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a family was not like a harmonious future generation, with three people at most plus the old people on both sides, at most seven or eight people.

During this period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a family had to have dozens of mouths at least, and hundreds or even thousands of mouths at most, so the Qiang family also had to send a letter to Ma Chao, but the Qiang family did not send a letter to Pang De, which is not that the Qiang family did not believe Pang De and Ma Dai, because so far, their Ma family has only one place left in Jincheng County, and if Jincheng County is lost again, their Ma family will have nowhere to live.

Let's say, Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu, two brothers and sisters, since they learned that their mother was in danger, they also immediately sent troops to rescue, at this time Ma Yunlu didn't think about it so much, in fact, the personalities of the Ma family are similar, isn't there a sentence? It's not that a family doesn't enter a family, unless a family has any special encounters, or goes out to practice and study, but lives together, then, the personality of this family is almost the same.

"Big brother, we have entered the territory of Wuwei County ahead, we have to be careful." Ma Yunlu said.

"Saving people is like fighting fire, even if there is danger, what am I afraid of? Little sister, just follow me. Ma Chao said. Ma Yunlu wanted to say something more, but looking back, now is indeed the time of life and death, and the eldest brother's statement is not wrong, and as soon as Ma Chao's temper came up, Ma Yunlu couldn't persuade him, and in the end Ma Yunlu didn't say anything.

In this way, Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu brothers and sisters, as well as four deputy generals and three thousand soldiers and horses, were all in a hurry day and night, and they rushed to Pingxi Mountain.

"Major General, the front has entered the territory of Wuwei County, we must be more careful." A lieutenant under Ma Chao said.

"Well, you send more scouts, pay attention!" Ma Chao said. "Yes, I'll do it." The deputy general said, in fact, what the deputy general said was right, but it was not wrong for Ma Chao to hurry up, after all, no matter who met Ma Chao's situation, he would not ignore his mother.

"Big brother, we have to stay away from Guzang City, in case Han Sui's soldiers and horses see it, it will cause unnecessary trouble, the most important thing for us now is to rescue our mother and family." Ma Yunlu said.

"Well, what Xiaomei said makes sense, let's bypass the big city." Ma Chao said, and then Ma Chao said to the deputy general: "The herald bypassed the various cities and went straight to Pingxi Mountain." ”

"No! The last general will go to give the order. The deputy general said, in fact, the Eastern Han Dynasty in this era of detour, not so easy, most of the current geographical environment has not been developed, the detour is likely to break into the primitive deep forest, but also encounter fierce beasts or get lost, but Ma Chao has no other way.

In the end, under the leadership of Ma Chao, and with the full assistance of Ma Yunlu and the four deputy generals, Ma Chao still passed through the territory of Wuwei County, but there were also several battles, resulting in only 2,000 men and horses left under Ma Chao, but fortunately, most of the troops are still there, how can there be immortals in the war, this kind of thing is commonplace for the Ma family.

"Big brother, I suggest that the whole army take a break." Ma Yunlu said. "Little sister, when is this, what are you resting on!" Ma Chao said eagerly.

"Big brother, your temperament is urgent, you want to! At least there is also my mother, 5,000 Han Sui soldiers and horses besieged, we went to rescue, but we only have 2,000 soldiers and horses, if the soldiers and horses in our hands are all tired, then, how can we rescue my mother and the family? Ma Yunlu said.

"Well, what the little sister said is right, the order, all dismount and rest!" Ma Chao thought about it and said.

In the study of the county guard of Wuwei County, Liangzhou, Han Sui sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, and several of his henchmen sat below, they were: Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, etc......

Han Sui has eight strong generals under him, which are: Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Candidate, Cheng Yi, Cheng Yin, Ma Wan, Li Kan, Yang Qiu and other eight people, and one is Han Sui's son-in-law, that is, Yan Xing, whom Han Sui relies on the most.

In today's county guard mansion study, five of the nine generals under Han Sui have been dispatched, and the remaining four have been summoned by Han Sui to discuss the matter.

"What's going on now?" Han Sui said. "My lord! Now that everything is going well, we have not only captured Jiuquan County and Xihai County, but also the plan to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Ma family is underway. Ma Chao has already been tricked. Zhang Heng said.

"Okay, very good, you must pay close attention, once you eliminate the remnants of the Ma family, immediately send troops to capture Jincheng County. Oh! By the way, keep all the women of the Ma family! Especially Ma Yunlu, this is my woman. Han Sui said obscenely.

"No! Rest assured, these things will be arranged in the end. Cheng Yi said.

"Good, good, hahaha!" Han Sui laughed wantonly, and said yes again and again.
