In August of the ninth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao led the 5,000 army to break through the position of Kebineng's 300,000 army and inserted straight into the rear of Kebineng. How incredible it is. But it's a real fact.

When Ma Chao returned to the grassland again, he once again showed the bloodshed of the flying wolf back then.

The Xianbei tribe, which has been emptied by Kebi Neng, where is it possible to block Ma Chao's attack. Ma Chao even divided the veterans of the year into two parts, one of which Ma Chao arranged by Zhang Liao's side, and then the 3,000 army was also divided into two teams by Ma Chao. After Zhang Liao and Ma Chao discussed the location of the meeting, they divided into two routes and sent their own troops.

In just one month, I don't know how many war knives in Zhang Liao's hands have been replaced, and there are countless souls that have died under his own knives. Once Zhang Liao was wondering what he was doing, raising a knife to slaughter the old, young, women and children? Zhang Liao was already gradually feeling bored. We are warriors, and we should be on the battlefield, not slaughtered here. In fact, Ma Chao also experienced this process, and when Ma Chao's veterans found out that something was wrong with Zhang Liao, they deliberately went deep into the grassland for nearly a thousand miles and attacked a special camp of Xianbei people. Here, Zhang Liao understood why Ma Chao and his guards worked extra hard to slaughter the Xianbei people. Because, here, Zhang Liao saw what is the ugliness of the world.

The massacre continued, and although the number of Ma Chao and Zhang Liao was small, it was not something that the Xianbei people who stayed on the grassland could resist. And the army that Kobi could send back to rescue was hundreds of miles away.

Another month later, just when Ma Chao and Zhang Liao were about to be surrounded by the army of the Xianbei people, overnight, the encirclement of the Xianbei people came to naught. Because, the plague appeared. It was brought back by these Xianbei soldiers who went south.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao finally escaped. But this is the beginning of the real catastrophe. Since the fall of that army, the claws of the plague have been seen everywhere in the grasslands. Many times, when Ma Chao and Zhang Liao rushed into a Xianbei camp, they found that the camp had been slaughtered by the plague. Although Ma Chao and Zhang Liao saved their strength, Ma Chao also began to face two huge problems, the first is the plague and the second is food.

Most of the food is infected and cannot be eaten. And even if the army returns to Dahan now, it will be too late. So, in desperation, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao combined, let's continue to go north!

The plague gradually went north with Ma Chao's march. The number of infected Xianbei people is increasing, and clean food is becoming more and more difficult to find. Ma Chao's army is running out of food!

In a team of 100 that Ma Chao didn't know, the centurion gathered his brothers.

"Brothers, the army is about to run out of food. My brother is going to do something, something that will die. If you are afraid, you can quit. However, I hope you will keep it a secret for me and not tell the general. ”

"Head, how many years have the brothers been with you. Are you humiliating us? ”

"Head, my brother is afraid of everything, but he is not afraid of death!"

……

"Good! In that case, then we ......"

They went out, and during an attack on a Xianbei camp, they went to the sheepfold of the Xianbei people, killed some animals that did not seem to be sick, and then took away the food they could. Then, when no one was looking, they secretly cut off a piece and stuffed it into their mouths.

Three days later, all the soldiers who did not have fever and other symptoms took out the beef and mutton they secretly carried, and took the initiative to find Ma Chao and Zhang Liao. "General, these things can be eaten. We, the hundreds, have already eaten it. There were no sick soldiers. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his anger immediately flared up, "Who allowed you to make your own decisions." "Although in the end each of them was beaten with twenty sticks, three days later, they actually dragged back a batch of food with their aching bodies." Checkmate! Food! ”

"If this wasn't the prairie, I'd break your legs! Go and lead the army stick yourself. Ma Chao said coldly!

Another three days passed, and this time, it was not the centurion who came to deliver the food. "Where's the king?"

"The master, the master died in battle!" The soldier stammered.

"No way, I saw him the day before yesterday, and there was no war yesterday. How to die in battle! Say, don't tell the truth, as a deserter! Ma Chao said sternly.

"General! Checkmate! When the soldier heard this, he quickly lay on the ground and cried and said, "The master is not a deserter. Definitely not! The captain contracted the plague while trying food, and led the twenty-five brothers in the team who were also infected, and left! ”

Ma Chao, this cold-blooded demon who can raise a knife in the face of Xianbei women and children, shed tears at this moment. Ma Chao knows that they are for themselves and for the army! They have been infected with the plague, and they are leaving to protect the army.

Although, Ma Chao has strictly ordered that no one is allowed to leave the army at will. And for Wang's hundred-man team, Ma Chao also issued a strict gag order. But on the fourth day, a few more centurions came to Ma Chao, "General, this's food!" ”

It's food. What a simple four words. It doesn't take a fraction of a second to say it out of your mouth. But this is all in exchange for the soldiers' lives. Every time, when someone walks in front of Ma Chao with food, although Ma Chao will punish him severely, there are still people who walk up to Ma Chao with food, simply say these four words, and then take the initiative to go out and receive twenty military sticks.

"Enough!" When Ma Chao was about to drop the baton, he called out to the soldier who was holding the stick while holding it in tears.

"I, Ma Chao, thank you. Next time, it's my turn! "And me!" Zhang Liao also walked out.

"General, no!" The soldiers, who were still waiting to be beaten, jumped up from the ground at once. "General, there are thousands of Zhang Chun in Han, but the general is only yourself! For the sake of the general, for the prime minister, for the sake of Hanzhong, the subordinates are willing! ”

"The subordinates are willing!"

……

Every day, there will be people in Ma Chao's camp holding their own war knives, leading their war horses, and walking out of the camp step by step.

One day, when Ma Chao was patrolling the camp, an arrow fell at Ma Chao's feet. A letter was strapped to it. On it, there were only a few words, "General, we'll see you in the next life!" ”

Ma Chao looked up, and on a low hill far away on the east side of the camp, a column of black shadows was facing the camp. Suddenly, a shout came, "General, brothers, we will be brothers again in the next life." ”

"Generals, brothers, come home alive! Let's go too! ”

Ma Chao looked at the burly figure in the distance, Ma Chao cried and knelt down. "Brothers, go all the way!"

Countless soldiers heard the figure, and they also knelt down, "Brothers, go all the way!" ”

They went, mounted their horses, and raised their swords. Heading to the east, there is still an army of Xianbei people pursuing them, and there is the biggest obstacle for their brothers to return home!

Without them, there would be no Ma Chao who has persevered until now, and there would be no army that has persevered until now.

When Ma Chao and Zhang Liao walked to the front of Yanmen Pass, there were only 500 people left in the 3,000-strong army. And on the low hill in the distance, a team of nearly seven hundred people, supporting and watching all the brothers enter the city gate.

"Brothers, the general and brothers have gone home. It's time for us to go, too. There are still two thousand brothers waiting for us to join them! The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone! ”

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone!"

……

Bursts of singing and the sound of horses' hooves spread into Yanmen Pass with the wind, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao stood on the city wall, looking at the flying dust that was gradually moving away, "Brother, meet again in the next life!" ”

"Beat the drums and march for the brothers!"
