Liu Jing didn't raise his head at first, but when he heard the familiar voice in front of him, he raised his head in surprise, and when he saw that it was Zhang Wuji who came in, Liu Jing was curious: "What?" Mowgli, why are you still off-the-books? Why don't you go to rest yet? ”

Zhang Wuji smiled and arched his hand: "The lord has all the opportunities, and he still refuses to rest, with the lord such an example, I am just a guard, how can the lord rest first?" Besides, now is the time for the lord to employ people, and I, Zhang Wuji, also happen to stay by the lord's side, of course, I will not let go of this excellent opportunity to serve the master! ”

Liu Jing smiled faintly, listening to Zhang Wuji's intimate words, he was also very relieved, because he also looked at the Zhang Wuji in front of him, the more he was pleased, this person was really able to perceive people's hearts, be alert, and act in a way that made Liu Jing very relieved.

Liu Jing smiled, shook his head lightly, and then stretched out his hand and handed out the secret letter: "You hurry up and find an alert person, and send this secret letter to General Zilong, who is heading from Yanzhou to Sizhou, remember, you must be fast, don't delay the military plane!" ”

Zhang Wuji looked at Liu Jing's expression, listened to Liu Jing's instructions, and knew the importance of this matter, so he immediately took three steps and two steps, hurriedly walked to Liu Jing, stretched out his hands to take the envelope, and said goodbye to Liu Jing: "Please rest assured, Wuji will do it, I will let people send it out immediately!" ”

Liu Jing nodded and said reassuringly: "That's good, let's do it quickly!" ”

Zhang Wuji nodded deeply at Liu Jing, received the order, and immediately retreated and found someone to deliver the letter.

And this thing is really as Liu Jing expected, Zhao Yun took the more than 5,000 people from Yanzhou without a purpose, because he didn't know where to go to meet Liu Jing, so when Zhao Yun was halfway through the journey, he also sent a few spies to the Sizhou border to find Liu Jing's traces.

At the same time that Zhao Yun was advancing towards Sizhou in a hurry, Cao Cao was also stepping up the encirclement and suppression of Ma Teng and Han Sui, because Ma Teng and Han Sui had become Cao Cao's turtles in the urn, so it was only a matter of time before Cao Cao wanted to exterminate the two of them.

Because he was worried about the problems on the eastern border, Cao Cao also gave Ma Teng and Han Sui too much time, because Cao Cao gathered as many as 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses on the northwest border, so Cao Cao dared to send more than 15,000 people to the eastern border to support Cao Chun.

When Xu Huang and Yu Ban left the northwest, Cao Cao also issued instructions for the final decisive battle of all the troops, Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to be the vanguard, Cao Ren and Cao Hong's three-way army had three directions to encircle and suppress Ma Teng and Han Sui, and Cao Cao strived to exterminate Ma Teng and Han Sui as soon as possible.

At the same time, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, who were in Hangu Pass, also received Cao Cao's order, ordering them to raid Ma Chao, the Xiliang reinforcement army stationed in Tongguan, in order to blossom on two fronts and annihilate the entire Xiliang army, so as to sweep the northwest border.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are like ants on a hot pot at this moment, they can't advance or retreat, because in his Sizhou are full of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, no matter which direction they break through, they will not succeed.

In the end, Ma Teng and Han Sui also sent many spies for help when they were helpless, wanting to break through the siege, and asked Ma Chao outside the pass to find a way to break through Hangu Pass and go to Hongnong to rescue them.

However, none of the spies sent by Ma Teng and Han Sui were able to successfully break through, and around Hongnong, Cao Jiajun was like a dense net, enveloping Hongnong, and it was no exaggeration to say that even a bird wanted to fly out, it was very sleepy, let alone a living person.

Ma Chao has been stationed between Tongguan and Hangu Pass for more than half a month, and the news in the pass has not come out at all, whether his father Ma Teng and his uncle Han Sui are alive or dead, Ma Chao is also anxious in his heart, but let him wave his army to attack Hangu Pass many times, he returned in vain.

Because the brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan stationed in Hanguguan are like an iron wall, guarding Hanguguan to the death, and a living person will not be let go by it, and whether it is Xiahoudun or Xiahouyuan, these two brothers, the combat power of any one of them is resounding, even if Ma Chao is in a hurry, he is helpless.

In this way, Ma Teng's father and son were tightly separated by a Hangu Pass, only a few hundred miles away, but it was a short distance of a hundred miles, and the other two were finally separated by yin and yang, and Ma Teng and Han Sui's only a few thousand soldiers and horses were completely eliminated by Cao Cao in only three days.

The war in the northwest was flattened by Cao Cao in a fairly short period of time, eliminating Ma Teng and Han Sui, Ma Chao outside the gate also became Cao Cao's next target, Ma Chao naturally received the rumors, but, he was young and vigorous, after all, he was still young, Ma Chao did not stop the advice of others at the beginning, and took the 20,000 reinforcements to start a decisive battle with Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers in Hangu Pass.

This battle can be described as a dark battle, blood flowed like a river, the courage of the Xiliang army, Cao Jiajun has long heard of it, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahoudun have also heard of it, but this fight with Ma Chao was also acquiesced by Cao Cao.

Because, after getting rid of Ma Teng and Han Sui, the next stop of the Cao family army is to advance into Yongzhou and Xiliang and surrender the remaining Xiliang army, and at present, the only Xiliang army that can stop the Cao family army is the 20,000 reinforcements under the command of Ma Chao.

Therefore, if the Cao army wants to conquer Yongzhou and Xiliang, the first thing to defeat is Ma Chao who blocked Hangu Pass, and Ma Chao's troops and horses are also the last stumbling block and the last obstacle point for Cao's army to win Yongzhou and Xiliang.

Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan brothers are worthy of being the famous generals of the Cao family's army, they are not only extraordinary in combat power, but also quite strategic, they used Ma Chao's revenge and young rashness, induced Ma Chao into their ambush circle, and then gathered with Xu Chu's soldiers and horses who came first, and surrounded Ma Chao.

However, due to the advantage in the number of soldiers and horses, Ma Chao woke up after he was surrounded, he was also at the last moment, was his brother Ma Dai to point out the way, with the cooperation of Ma Dai, Ma Chao led 5,000 soldiers and horses to break out of the encirclement, fled to the northern region, and fled towards Bingzhou.

Ma Chao due to his impulsiveness and humanity, his father left him the last large army, a large army with more than 20,000 people, a large army enough to guard Xiliang to exhaust, in the end, he only brought out more than 5,000 people, the remaining more than 15,000 soldiers, in the fight with the Cao army, the dead, the wounded, and some remnants of the defeated generals also finally chose to surrender for their livelihood.

In the end, the last trace of vitality of the Xiliang Army was taken out of Xiliang by Ma Chao and brought to the Bingzhou area.
