Meng Shu looked at it again at this time, and said in his heart that it was too late, isn't this the general trend gone, and he had no choice but to order: "The whole army, retreat!" ”

There is no way, if you don't retreat, you can't do it, if you don't retreat, there will be many more casualties than this. So in order to avoid this, he can only let people retreat at this time, which is all helpless.

However, in the ears of the Southern Barbarian soldiers, it was like a heavenly sound, and it could be said that they were waiting for their king. Many people have already run away, some have died in battle, and those who are still waiting to hear the retreat. Therefore, as soon as they heard their king shout to retreat, they retreated like a tide.

There are even many soldiers who don't even want to run faster, and just run away.

When Ma Chao saw such a situation, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. This is the troubled times, the peaceful and prosperous times do not mean that there will be no wars, but it will never be like this, there are often wars, and the world is not peaceful at all.

Why is it said that "people in troubled times are not as good as peace dogs", it is really not unreasonable, it is really so-

Lei Tong and the others looked at each other, and said in their hearts that you Meng Shu ran fast.

Indeed, they were just about to step forward to fight Meng Shu, but he directly shouted to retreat. A few people thought that it was because Meng Huo saw a few people going in his honor. And as a barbarian king, he couldn't retreat so directly, so he called the whole army to retreat.

They thought about it. It's not impossible, so ......

"The defeat of the army is like a mountain", and the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians were already defeated. Then Meng Shu asked them to retreat again, so the Nanban soldiers on the battlefield really didn't have any fighting spirit anymore, so they just slipped away.

And Ma Chao shouted: "The whole army is pursuing!" ”

At this time, he is not afraid of them fighting to the death, and in Ma Chao's opinion, this is the time when his side has an advantage, and it is a good time to "beat the water dogs". If you say that you are afraid that they will fight to the death, you will not pursue. Then we will lose this great opportunity. So he didn't hesitate to let the Liangzhou sergeant chase with all his might-

As soon as he heard that his lord asked him to pursue with all his might, the Liangzhou soldiers were all excited. In the previous victory, his lord didn't let his own side pursue, but he didn't expect that his lord changed his mind tonight. Let everyone chase after the poor.

Ma Chao suddenly remembered two lines of Taizu's poem: "It is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery." Don't be a famous academic overlord", of course, it was not the same as I am now. After all, Chu and Han competed, and Xiang Yu forced Liu Bang to Hanzhong in the end, and he thought that Liu Bang couldn't afford to make too many waves. It's a pity that the final result is not as simple as he thought.

How many times has Xiang Yu been able to eradicate Liu Bang, but unfortunately in the end, he still didn't grasp the opportunity, but Liu Bang's family knew how to seize the opportunity, and in the end, Xiang Yu could only be hated.

Ma Chao didn't want to eradicate Meng Shu. But tonight it must be pursued. As a result, the Liangzhou army chased out the Southern Barbarian Army for five miles, and finally Ma Chao let them come back. And this chase once. It really made Meng Huonan's army lose a lot. Although some of the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Army also played with their lives, but under the pursuit of the Liangzhou Army, they did not take any advantage-

In the end, Ma Chao instructed the herald, "Pass my military order, leave some people to clean up the battlefield, and the others will follow me back to the camp!" ”

"No!"

The herald went down to give the order, "The lord has an order......

Ma Chao took everyone back to the camp, as for the battlefield, there is no need to leave anyone, it is enough to have soldiers.

As soon as they arrived at the Liangzhou military camp, they had already seen Huang Quan waiting for Ma Chao at the gate of the camp.

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, once again defeated the Southern Barbarian Army!"

Ma Chaoxin said, this is talking to the ancients, it was originally a victory, and they sometimes say that it is a big defeat, of course, it all means the same thing, but I still love to listen to the big victory, how nice this is.

"This is all thanks to the lives of the soldiers, and it is the credit of our generals and soldiers!"

Indeed, Ma Chao didn't think he was doing well, and he didn't contribute much, it was all the credit of his subordinates-

At this time, everyone hurriedly entered the camp and came to the big tent of the Chinese army of their lord, and after sitting down, Ma Chao said to everyone again: "Everyone, tonight's big victory, your merits will be recorded in the merit book, and in the end, it will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Everyone said in unison, and Ma Chao smiled, "Okay, tomorrow night, it's still a big banquet to entertain everyone!" ”

"The lord is wise!"

Everyone had expected that their lord would inevitably be like this. It was, and it is the same now. The battle between his lord and the Southern Barbarian Army this time is often celebrated with banquets, but it is a little different from before.

But everyone likes it, and this is indeed true. So they are all quick to pat Ma Chao's sycophants, the lord is wise to entertain guests, there is good food and drink, who doesn't like it. If you always eat dry food or something, and you can't drink alcohol, a bird will already fade out of your mouth.

Ma Chao was talking to everyone, when he saw the soldier come to report: "Report to the lord, find Dong Diana's body, and Dong Diana's people want to take refuge in the lord, please make a decision!" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, it turned out that Dong Dana was dead, no wonder, it was normal. Just say why didn't you see him, it turns out that this is what happened.

But obviously. Ma Chao didn't have a good opinion of such a person, so he died when he died. Or I don't want to get too close to someone like that.

But I heard from the soldiers that those soldiers under him want to take refuge in themselves, what about this? This Southern Barbarian sergeant doesn't have too strong combat power, can he collect it himself?

Thinking of this, he turned to the crowd. "Everyone, now that the Southern Barbarian soldiers are going to join our army, I don't know what you think?" ――

Ma Chao didn't forget to ask the soldiers. "How many people are there?"

The soldier replied, "Less than four thousand!" ”

Ma Chao nodded, Dong Di should have a little more than 10,000 people, but at this time, there were nearly 4,000 people who wanted to take refuge in themselves. It's not less.

Lu Xun was the first to speak: "My lord." In order to completely solve the worries of the Nanban, his subordinates believe that our army should be incorporated into these nearly 4,000 men! It is not impossible to let it form another army and become a foreign group of our army! ”

Ma Chao nodded when he heard this, and said to Lu Xun and everyone: "What Bo Yan said is indeed good!" After all, it is impossible to kill all the Nanbans. So when the less than 4,000 men were collected, they became another army. It is also for other Nanban soldiers to see, we are the ones who treat them well, how is the Liangzhou army, what are they like, what do you think? ”

Everyone said in unison: "I'll second!" The Lord is wise! ”――

Ma Chao smiled and waved his hand, that means it's a fart, but since you all agree, let's settle this matter.

So Ma Chao ordered: "Lei Tong, Meng Da, the matter of incorporating the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians will be handed over to you, but I will not forget to give you two translators of our army!" ”

"No!"

These two translators were personally selected by Ma Chao, because it was indeed an important errand. After all, apart from translation, who understands Nanban dialect? So if the translator really thinks that he will say something else, then something will happen. Therefore, Ma Chao chooses people, the first thing is loyalty, and he has found out the situation of his family. If his family was his own, Ma Chao would not choose, like this, a person who has no worries can do anything, so in this matter, Ma Chao dare not use it.

You said that if you organize a death squad or something, it's right to use people like this, but Ma Chao really doesn't dare to use something like translation. Because since the other party is not concerned and is not afraid of death, it can also be said that he is also not afraid of himself, so if he really wants to be unfavorable to himself, then it is really difficult to prevent it.

Therefore, Ma Chao can be said to be very cautious about such things, and even if he is careless, there are still people like Lu Xun around him. I have to say that if he is really more cautious than anyone else, Lu Xun must be better than Ma Chao.

After all, although Ma Chao is not an arrogant person, but for special reasons, he knows a lot of things, so many times, he will neglect to take precautions, which is inevitable. It's just that there hasn't been anything big for the time being, but Lu Xun is different, he doesn't know as much as Ma Chao, and he has to think about a lot of everything.

It may be like this, and of course it may be like that, so as a top strategist, he said that there will definitely be no shortage of things that come to mind. So even if Ma is careless, but with Lu Xun there, he can also be around to remind him.

In the end, Ma Chao asked Lei Tong and Meng Da to collect the people, and everyone sent him away, it's time to go to bed, after all, it's quite late, just rest well-

Meng Shu was a wolf and fled with everyone, and with this breath, he ran for twenty miles with the Nanban soldiers. In the end, seeing that Ma Chaoliangzhou's army finally stopped pursuing, he was finished, so he asked the horses to stop advancing and set up camp.

met Mrs. Zhurong halfway, and she was also chased by Cui An very wolf. But in the end, Cui An saw that she ran to the army of Meng Huonan's barbarian army, and he stopped chasing her. It's not that he's afraid, because he knows it in his own heart. My lord has asked everyone to retreat, and he has to go back.

Chasing that lady is definitely not going to work. At most, he can only rush and kill in the Southern Barbarian Army for a while, but he can't catch his people, and he can't take Meng Shu, so it's useless to go by himself. It's better to go back early and rest early. So Cui An took the horse and left, and he didn't care about Mrs. Zhurong.

Meng Huo met his wife in the middle of the road and asked her how she was. Why are you here?

Mrs. Zhurong said, "King, the traitor Dong Dana is dead!" ”――

When Meng Shu heard this, he said, "Okay." Well done, madame! Even if that traitor doesn't die tonight. I'll have to get him sooner or later! ”

Mrs. Zhurong nodded, "That's true, you must let people know the fate of being a traitor!" ”

"Yes, as it should be! Parents of those who gave birth to me, and Mrs. of those who know me! ”

In the end, he ran twenty miles away, and although Meng Shu was a wolf, he could still speak, so he ordered: "Pass my royal order." Camp in place! ”

"Yes!"

The Southern Barbarian Army was encamped twenty miles away, and that's it. Meng Huo was afraid that the horses would overtake, so half of the people and horses were not allowed to rest, and those who slept had to "turn a blind eye".

The soldiers were already exhausted, and as a result, Meng Shu gave such an order, but what he really did as he said was only a few people-

Although Meng Shu also knew this, he didn't care about anything in the end, just as if he didn't see it.

Because Mrs. Zhurong said to him, "King, my soldiers are all tired, in fact, our soldiers are all like this, not to mention Ma Chaoliangzhou's soldiers, they are still like this!" ”

Meng Shu nodded, he understood what his wife meant, he was really, too careful. is also afraid of Ma Chao, is it really like the Han people say, "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope"? Meng Shu thinks that if this is the case, then it is really, or unacceptable.

"Madame's meaning, the husband understands, it seems that the husband is indeed a little too careful!"

Seeing that her husband can still face up to her mistakes, Mrs. Zhurong is still very relieved, but even so, she is still not the opponent of Ma Chao. This is the problem, and now there are still some people left, so looking at the appearance of his husband, it is obvious that he is still not ready to withdraw his troops back to Nanban-

Mrs. Zhurong was lucky, and asked Meng Shu, "I don't know the king, when will he return to Nanban?" ”

When Meng Shu heard this, his face was immediately expressionless, and he only heard him say: "Madam, there are still about half of the people who are husbands now, don't you say it, when will you ......?"

When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, she said in her heart, okay, you are waiting for me here, she snorted coldly, "Hmph! Forget it, just remember what you said before! ”

After speaking, she left without looking back, Meng Shu looked at his wife's back, and felt aggrieved in his heart, madam, I, alas, there is a glimmer of hope, and I can't give it up. If I, Meng Shu, were alone, I would be able to say anything, but there are so many people in my barbarian clan, how can you let me let them have a better life like the Han people.

If the Han people don't give it to us, we can grab it, and if they don't take it out, we have to force them to take it out. Madame, you have to understand that you are a husband, this is your husband's wish! ――

Meng Huo is such a barbarian tribe who has really seen with his own eyes how the Han people live, of course, what he saw was not the Han people in the remote areas of Yizhou, but from Chengdu. Therefore, he knew that when his people had such a life, his goal would be achieved. But obviously, Ma Chao doesn't seem to want the barbarians to be like this, so can he not resist?

Who doesn't want good things, and chooses broken things, so no matter what, you have to do this, so that you can be considered worthy of your clansmen.

His nickname is also called the barbarian king, although he is self-appointed, although he is his own piece, but he is in charge of hundreds of thousands of people, he not only has to think for himself, but also for these hundreds of thousands of people, or he will be this barbarian king in vain.

Don't look at Meng Huo as a scoundrel or something, at least one thing is true, that is, he also wants to let his clan live a better life, which is not wrong at all.

There are a few knowledgeable barbarians, but obviously, Meng Shu has definitely seen more things and knows more, otherwise he wouldn't be like this-

Meng Shu also knew at this time that he was in a dilemma now, and he didn't know how to deal with Ma Chao.

This time, he lost more than half of his men and horses, and he really, really can't defeat Ma Chaoliangzhou's army? If that's the case, who else do you expect to compromise and give good things to the barbarians!

Meng Shu was worried, he found that his thinking was still simple, and he didn't know if his goal could be achieved. If you only look at it from the present point, it is indeed difficult, and it may not be possible at all.

Meng Shu turned around and lost sleep, because Tsushima Chao couldn't do anything about the Liangzhou army, he thought about it for more than an hour, but he didn't come up with anything, and in the end he was too tired to fall asleep. (To be continued......)
