On the second day, with your guide, near the Three Paths Bridge, turn around and begin to cross a vast primeval forest.

It is said that Wutu Valley is hidden in this deep mountain, and in the face of sudden wind and snow, it climbed up to Wutanggou Daban, and the road is almost extinct.

Along the way, I passed through many river valleys and cliffs, and finally walked into Wutanggou again at dusk.

Everyone's eyes lit up, the mountain flowers here are in full bloom, all the eyes are green grasslands, and surrounded by mountains on three sides, only Wutanggou is a path into the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As soon as they entered the pasture, they were spotted by several herdsmen, some of whom grabbed them, and some rode back to report the news.

The herdsmen who stopped them were actually very scared, and the knives and forks in their hands were trembling, and Ma Chao asked the guide to tell them not to be afraid, they were Han soldiers.

Hearing that it was the Han army, sure enough, these herdsmen were no longer afraid, but excited, and Ma Chao determined through the guide that these people were the people of the Cheshi Houguo they were looking for.

This is indeed the Wutu Valley they are looking for, and with these guides who speak the same language, the herdsmen still pay high tribute to the army of the Han Dynasty.

The heroic deeds of the Han army represented by Geng Gong are like myths and stories, and they are still circulated among the people here today! They worship General Geng Gong as a god!

Soon, the welcoming horn sounded, and the king of the Cheshi Hou Kingdom and several important ministers led hundreds of herdsmen to greet the Han army.

Ma Chao and his subordinates were surrounded by everyone and welcomed to the royal court tent of the Cheshi Houguo.

The king immediately asked people to prepare a grand banquet of roasting whole sheep to entertain the guests from afar, in the face of the host's hospitality, Ma Chao could not refuse, Ma Chao, who had already followed the local customs, knew the hospitality of the grassland people.

At the banquet, through the guide's translation, Ma Chao inquired about the movements and whereabouts of the Xianbei people.

The king told the truth that since the Northern Huns fled, the bald tribes of Xianbei in the west entered the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, and soon conquered several small countries by force.

Some old people represented by the king of Cheshi Houguo were unwilling to obey the orders of the Xianbei people, but they couldn't beat them, so they could only hide in the mountains.

However, some of the young Zhuang faction represented by the king's younger brother were willing to take refuge in the Xianbei people, and with the help of the Xianbei people's power, they attacked Beilu.

These tribesmen close to the Xianbei people all lived in the former Wubu Hou City, which is now called Jinmancheng.

The troops of the Xianbei people stationed in the Cheshi Houguo were also stationed in Jinmancheng. Originally, there were 2,000 people stationed there, but later when they heard that they were going to attack the country of Wusun, they transferred 1,000 people.

After listening to this, Ma Chao felt that the situation here was similar to the situation in Pu Shihai, and he was fully capable of handling it.

Ma Chao asked the king to find two guides for himself, and he was going to Jinmancheng to meet the Xianbei people.

The king immediately agreed, and he also told Ma Chao that his younger brother followed the Xianbei people to harm many of his own people and other countries on the grassland, and he was extremely evil.

If Ma Chao has a chance to clear him, please don't show mercy.

This brother Wang has a servant army of 500 people in his hands, and there are no good people, all of them have done bad things with the Xianbei people, and the king also sent his general to lead 300 loyal and his warriors to assist Ma Chao, and Ma Chao will naturally not refuse.

Ma Chao rested for a day in Wutu Valley, and then set off with the reconnaissance battalion and three hundred chariot division warriors.

This time, it is all the way down the mountain, and the altitude is getting lower, but the beautiful scenery and cliffs along the way are still the same.

The surroundings were very quiet, except for the wheezing of the horses, the only sound of the rushing river roaring through it, and the rustle of the wind through the forest!

Ma Chao sent the scouts and guides out from afar, and sure enough, at the exit end of the Cheshi Ancient Road and the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Xianbei people and the Cheshi people were killed.

It was a small group of more than ten people, and through interrogation of the captives, it was learned that the king's younger brother and the Xianbei people had just returned from the plundering of Dongjimi, and were celebrating in the city of Jinman.

Because they heard that the Han army had entered the Western Regions, they set up a sentry post in this mountain pass, and a few of them were unlucky enough to be sent to squat in the pit to wait.

Through inquiry, the number of enemies was again confirmed, five hundred Che Division rebels and one thousand Xianbei people.

The next thing was familiar to Ma Chao and the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion.

It was still a night attack, and while the enemy was feasting and celebrating, the scouts quietly occupied the city gates, killing all the open and dark sentinels, although there were few of them.

Then it was to close the city gates, close the doors and beat the dogs, and the three hundred chariot division warriors followed closely behind the Han army and killed the Xianbei people who had hated them for a long time!

On one side are well-prepared elite divisions, and on the other side are defenseless, a rabble of people who are all over play.

At dawn, the enemies of the whole city surrendered to death, and after the king's younger brother was captured alive, the general of the chariot division directly executed him on the street, which was also the will of the old king.

In addition, the leader of the Xianbei garrison, the bald Crewe, was also captured alive, bare-assed, in bed, of course.

In addition, 500 Xianbei people became prisoners, and this time, Ma Chao did not kill the prisoners.

Only a little punishment was used for Bald Crewe, and Bald Crewe, who had been pampered for a long time, took the initiative to tell everything he knew.

Ma Chao learned that the two major tribes of Xianbei in the west were forming a coalition army to step up their attack on the Wusun Kingdom, and the army of the Wusun Kingdom had already lost several battles in a row.

However, what Ma Chao didn't know was that one of the Xianbei people surrounded by him took advantage of the chaos to escape.

This man was the deputy of the bald Crewe, who escaped from the city of Jinman, and went to the nearest Bellu to report the news.

The bald Kru didn't tell Ma Chao all the truth, it turned out that there was an army of Xianbei people in Beilu, who was replenishing grain and grass and preparing to go to the Wusun front.

It was an army of 6,000 men led by the Beggars of the Beggars, who had gone to join the alliance of the two tribes.

The lieutenant found Bjervoi in Beilu and reported to him what had happened in the city of Jinman.

Hearing that a Han army had raided Jinmancheng, killed the younger brother of the king of the Cheshi Houguo, and captured the bald Kru alive, Beggar Rowe was furious.

And as a high-ranking general, he knew that some time ago, a group of Han troops raided Pu Shihai and wiped out the Xianbei army stationed there.

I don't know if the sneak attack on Jinmancheng this time is the same group as the previous Han army, hoping that I can block them.

He immediately led the whole army to kill Jinmancheng day and night, and Ma Chao, who did not know that the enemy was coming, was still busy pacifying the people of Cheshi Houguo, and waiting for the general to move the king of Cheshi Houguo back to the city.

He didn't know that there was an army of Xianbei people in Beilu, and it came so quickly!

Before the king of Cheshi returned to the city, the army of Beggar Rowe arrived first, although Ma Chao sent scouts, but when he found the Xianbei army, the enemy was already less than twenty miles away from the city.

Ma Chao quickly made a judgment that in the field, the enemy army ten times his size would eat himself to the point that there were no bones left, and the wisest choice was to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

He sent Ma Dai to return to River City with a squad and a guide from the former country of the Cheshi to move the rescue troops.

Of course, he also left a thought, that is, let Ma Dai live, don't die with himself, and defend the city is also more auspicious.
