Because Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei and also killed Zhang Lu's general Yang Ang, it is estimated that Zhang Lu will not be able to attack Pujia Pass in a short time, so Pujia Pass should be safe for a period of time, so Shi Yuan announced in public that the army will be drawn tomorrow and go to Chengdu to help the lord.

At present, there are more than 20,000 defenders in Pujia Pass. When Liu Bei attacked Liu Zhang, he left 10,000 soldiers in Pujia Pass, Shiyuan rescued Pujia Pass with 5,000 people, and captured about 2,000 soldiers during the battle with Fu Ban and Xiang Cun, plus about 5,000 Xiliang elite soldiers brought by Ma Chao when he surrendered, so that the defenders of Pujia Pass should now have more than 22,000 people.

The residence of Pu Jia Guan Shiyuan.

After issuing the order that the army would march to the aid of the lord tomorrow, all the generals went to their respective posts to make corresponding preparations, and Shiyuan also returned to his residence in Pujia Pass.

After dinner, after Shi Yuan prepared the things he needed to bring for tomorrow's departure, he taught the two siblings Guangyou and Guangrong to read and write in the lobby. Only when he is with the two sisters and brothers, Shi Yuan can feel the happiness in his heart, and there is no need to calculate or think about war with the two sisters and brothers, in fact, Shi Yuan has a faint feeling at this time, feeling that this kind of life is actually the life he wants the most. Being with your children and living a carefree life in peace and stability may be the life you want! But it is impossible to live such a life now, because the world has not yet been unified, and battles will still occur every day, and only when the world is unified can I estimate that I can live the life I yearn for in my heart!

Shi Yuan thought about it, but he didn't know where his thoughts had gone.

"Father, father, what are you thinking?" Guangrong saw that his father-in-law looked a little stunned at this time, so he shouted at his father-in-law.

Hearing Guangrong's cry, Shi Yuan woke up and hurriedly said:

"Nothing. My father-in-law just thought that life could always be like this, how nice it would be! ”

"Then we will be with our father-in-law a lot in the future." Light said happily at this time.

When Shi Yuan heard this, he laughed out loud and kept saying, "Good, good!" ”

At this time, a servant walked in and said to Shi Yuan that General Ma Chao was now outside the gate, saying that he had something to do with the military advisor.

As soon as Shi Yuan heard that it was General Ma Chao, he asked the servant to quickly bring General Ma Chao in, and at the same time let the two siblings Guangyou and Guangrong go to the side room to read and write.

"Strategist, I'm here late at night, and I hope that Strategist won't bother me." As soon as Ma Chao entered the door, he said to Shi Yuan.

"Meng Qi is polite, please take a seat." Shi Yuan said, and then asked the servant to make a pot of tea and bring it over.

"I don't know what Meng Qi said about coming to my residence late at night?"

"Strategist, tomorrow the army will depart. The purpose of my coming here is to let me and my children go to Chengdu with the military division to help the lord. Ma Chao didn't play any subtlety, and he made his purpose clear.

During the day today, due to the urgency of the matter, Shi Yuan did not immediately decide whether to let General Ma Chao or General Huo Jun go with him, after all, General Ma Chao had just surrendered, and he was not very relieved, so General Huo Jun had no problem. But as for Pujia Pass, although Zhang Lu should not attack Pujia Pass in a short period of time, but due to the key position of Pujia Pass, there must also be a fully trusted future to guard Pujia Pass, and it is not possible to let General Ma Chao guard it, but only let General Meng Da guard Pujia Pass alone, with Shi Yuan's understanding of General Meng Da during this period of time, he knows that it is difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility, so it is best to have General Huo Jun guard Pujia Pass. After Shiyuan returned to his residence, after thinking carefully, he decided to let General Ma Chao go to Chengdu with him, but what Shiyuan didn't expect was that he hadn't had time to inform General Ma Chao, and he didn't expect General Ma Chao to come here and take the initiative to ask for help.

"Oh. I don't know why General Ma Chao did this? Shi Yuan asked with a puzzled look.

"Strategist, I just surrendered to the lord, and I haven't made any meritorious achievements under the lord, and now is a good opportunity, so please take me there."

After Shi Yuan heard it, he thought for a while and said, "There is some truth in what Meng Qi said, and this time to Chengdu, there should be a tough battle to be fought, and it is true that people like generals are needed, but ......"

"But what?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the general has just come over after all, and there are Xiliang soldiers under him, if you go to Chengdu now, I'm worried that your soldiers may have some opinions, after all, Chengdu is too far away from the hometown of these soldiers, and there may be some conflicts after arriving in Chengdu because they don't adapt to the local life."

"Oh, I see. However, don't worry, I will definitely discipline my soldiers well, as for the problem of the principle of hometown, don't worry, since these soldiers came to Hanzhong with me, these soldiers have never thought of sneaking to their hometown, these soldiers are all the same idea as me, hoping to return to their hometown one day. In the past, when I was under Zhang Lu, because Zhang Lu was not ambitious, he did not dare to fight Cao Cao, but now I and these soldiers have been subordinated to the command of Lord Liu Bei, and the soldiers have a feeling that they will be able to return to their hometown soon. Therefore, I also implore the military advisor to take me and my soldiers to Chengdu to help the lord get Xichuan as soon as possible. ”

After listening to General Ma Chao's words, Shi Yuan no longer had any doubts, and immediately told General Ma Chao to let him get ready, and after breakfast tomorrow morning, the army will set off and go to Chengdu together.

After Ma Chao heard the military advisor say that he should go to Chengdu together, he didn't know where to put his happy hands, and after a while, General Ma Chao said to the military advisor that he should hurry to the barracks and inform his soldiers. Then Ma Chao got up and left, walked to the door, as soon as he opened the door, suddenly two children stumbled into the house, it seems that these two children have been waiting outside the door, General Ma Chao saw this and turned his head to look at the military division.

When Shi Yuan saw this, he immediately smiled bitterly, and then hurriedly said: "General Meng Qi, don't get me wrong, these are the two children I took in some time ago, one is called Guangyou and the other is called Guangrong. Why don't you hurry up and meet General Ma Chao? ”

After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he saw the two children hurriedly bowing to General Ma Chao. Seeing this, General Ma Chao hurriedly supported the two children and said: "No, no, since I am the child of the military advisor, I have nothing to say, but I didn't bring any gifts to the two children in a hurry this time, how can this be good?" ”

"Meng Qi is too polite. These two children are what they are doing today because I dote on them very much, and I will definitely discipline them well in the future. But these two kids are quite smart. ”

After listening to what Shi Yuan said, Ma Chao looked at the two children carefully, the woman was very well-behaved, and the man was delicate.
