Cao Shuo led the army to Daejeon.

Daejeon is located in Mahan, just a few miles from the border with Benhan.

When he was about to arrive, Cao Shuo saw a group of men waiting in the distance.

Most of that group was cavalry.

Their number is not very small, about two or three thousand, but the military discipline seems to be very sloppy, and the officers and men in the army are just going to that station very casually, and there is no array and rules at all.

"I thought Mahan would be better." Seeing the people and horses in the distance, Cao Zhang said disdainfully: "I didn't expect them to be the same as Benhan, they are a group of rabble. ”

"The Samhan people have always been just a rabble." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Cao Zhang: "But don't underestimate them too much. Although it was easy to attack Benhan, it was when Benhan was unprepared. Now that Mahan has become wary of us, it will not be too difficult to fight them, but it will not be as easy as taking Benhan. ”

"I understand what the eldest brother said." Cao Zhang said: "Although the other party is weak, after all, he is still alive." As long as they are alive, I will not underestimate them. Unless they're all dead. ”

"That's right." Gently patting Cao Zhang's shoulder, Cao Shuo commanded to the side: "Send someone over and ask if King Ma Han is here." ”

The army quickly rushed out on a fast horse.

Riding his horse and rushing towards the opposing array was a captain who knew the three Korean languages.

The captain once sent an envoy to Ma Han, and he also knew King Ma Han.

When he arrived in front of the big array of the Mahan people, he saw the king of Mahan standing in front of the array, reined in his war horse and asked, "Dare to ask the king, is it possible to lead the army here to fight with our army?" ”

King Ma Han was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I brought my troops here just to be thoughtful, and I didn't mean to be an enemy of the king of Wuzhou. ”

The captain smiled slightly, and said to King Ma Han: "The king of Wuzhou sent me to ask if it is the king, since I have met the king, I will go back to resume my life." ”

"I have already made people ...... in the city," said King Mahan, who had already made a banquet be set up in the city.

But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the captain.

The lieutenant said: "The king has a heart, the king of Wuzhou came to Datian, and he didn't plan to enter the city, but just chatted with the king outside the city." ”

"I wonder where the King of the Five States plans to meet me?" King Ma Han asked.

"I'll go back and ask the king of the five states, and I'll tell you again!" The captain dropped a sentence, turned his horse and left.

Cao Shuo could see Ma Han's army, and of course King Ma Han could also see his army.

Although the navy has not been established for a long time, all the drills are in accordance with the unified standards of the Cao army.

After the army stopped, every soldier straightened his chest and was magnificent.

Their array is neat, and it looks even more like the Gomao Sensen in the army, which makes people feel cold in their hearts at a glance.

Looking at the soldiers of the Cao family, King Ma Han swallowed his saliva.

Kuwabara, who was beside him, whispered: "Great King, fortunately, we are not enemies with the King of the Five States. ”

King Ma Han nodded, and his heart was even more panicked.

Not only was the army on the opposite side far outnumbered them, but what was even more terrifying was that the military discipline was strict and not as loose as the Mahan warriors.

After waiting for a long time, the captain rode back again.

He pointed to the open space between the two armies and said to King Ma Han, "Great King, the king of Wuzhou will meet you there. ”

"There?" The lieutenant only pointed to a clearing, and King Ma Han asked in surprise, "Could it be that the king of Wuzhou wants to talk to me on horseback?" ”

"Of course not." The lieutenant said: "Later, someone will put up a canopy, and the king of Wuzhou will invite the king to taste our fine wine in the Central Plains." ”

Cao Shuo invited him to drink, and King Ma Han was a little panicked in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and said to the captain: "Please also ask the messenger to inform the king of Wuzhou that I will definitely go." ”

When the two of them were talking, more than a dozen soldiers walked out of the Cao army's large array.

They set up tables and canopies in the clearing.

The lieutenant did not go to Cao Shuo to return his respects, but said to King Ma Han: "The canopy is ready, please go to the king." ”

Kuwabara said to King Ma Han, "I want to accompany the king." ”

With Kuwahara by his side, King Ma Han's courage was somewhat stronger.

He nodded, greeted Kuwabara, and rode his horse to the canopy.

King Ma Han and Sang Yuan went under the canopy.

Cao Shuo came with Cao Zhang.

The school captain who had delivered the news to King Ma Han stood aside and acted as an interpreter.

"This is King Mahan?" When he arrived, Cao Shuo rode on horseback and asked King Ma Han.

"Exactly." King Ma Han replied and said, "I have seen the king of the five states of the Han Dynasty. ”

Cao Shuo turned over and dismounted, and walked to the low table under the canopy.

After taking his seat, he gestured to King Ma Han: "Your Majesty, please take a seat!" ”

I had long heard that Cao Shuo was not very old, and King Ma Han expected him to be extraordinary, but he didn't expect him to be handsome and elegant.

waited until Cao Shuo sat down, and King Ma Han sat down with a confession.

"I invited the king here today, in fact, I want to discuss the affairs of Sanhan." Cao Shuo said: "Sanhan is located in the northeast of Dahan, although it is a small place, the location is very important. ”

"That's what the King of the Five States said." King Ma Han asked, "I wonder what the King of Wuzhou has planned?" ”

"What can I do?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Sanhan is your territory, even if I bring thousands of troops and horses, I am just an outsider after all." ”

"Earlier, I asked Kuwahara to visit the king of Wuzhou, and I have already shown my heart that Ma Han is willing to surrender to the Han." King Ma Han said: "As long as the king of the five states leaves us a way to live, Ma Han is willing to follow him to the death." ”

"I just want to meet the king." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I heard that you three Koreans are very good at drinking, so I specially brought some fine wine from the Central Plains and drank two glasses with the king." ”

"How dare I not drink the wine brought by the king of Wuzhou." King Ma Han hurriedly said: "I have long heard that the Central Plains wine is mellow, and it is also a great blessing for me to be able to taste the Central Plains wine." ”

"As long as the king is willing, I can let you drink the wine of the Central Plains every day in the future." Cao Shuo said with a slight smile.

King Ma Han hurriedly replied: "Of course it's good......"

"It seems that the king is a good drinker." Cao Shuo first said to him with a smile, and then instructed Cao Zhang: "Open the wine and pour it for me and the king." ”

After grinding for many days in Shouchun and going on the battlefield several times, Cao Zhang's current physique is magnificent, and he exudes a strong aura of a fierce general.

He picked up a jar of fine wine, opened it, and poured a glass for Cao Shuo and King Ma Han.

Looking at Cao Zhang, King Ma Han asked, "Dare to ask this warrior ......?"

After the captain translated, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "He is the third brother of my family, and he came out with me this time, just to see the world!" ”

A fierce general like Cao Zhang followed Cao Shuo to Sanhan, just to see the world, and King Ma Han felt even more that he could not confront Cao Jun.
