Zhang Lang and his entourage rushed to the military camp on the other side and saw Ma Chao lying in the middle of the big tent. When the generals saw Zhang Lang suddenly coming, they all clasped their fists and saluted. Zhang Lang couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Ma Chao close his eyes tightly, his face was bloodless, as if he had died. Softly called, "Meng Qi!" Ma Chao's eyelids moved. Zhang Lang frowned, turned around and walked outside the tent, and everyone followed.

Zhang Lang asked the medical officer, "How is Meng Qi's injury?" ”

The medical officer hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiqi, General Ma Chao is seriously injured, and the poisonous gas has spread, I am afraid, I am only afraid of ......."

Zhang Lang's heart was shocked, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is there no way?" ”

The medical officer hugged his fists and said, "Perhaps, maybe the senior medical officer Hua Tuo can save him." When Zhang Lang heard this, he immediately said to Dong Ying beside him: "Send someone to Luoyang immediately and bring Hua Tuo to me." Dong Ying nodded and went down.

Zhang Lang turned his head to look at Ma Chao and said to the medical officer: "You have to do everything you can to save Meng Qi's life for me!" The medical officer complained in his heart and looked embarrassed. Zhang Lang said angrily: "What kind of virtue are you?" ”

The medical officer hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The subordinates should only do their best to save General Ma Chao's life!" However, but General Ma Chao's current injury, we wait, we really dare not guarantee it! ”

Ma Dai was in a hurry, stepped forward and grabbed the placket of the medical officer's clothes, glared and shouted: "If the eldest brother dies, I want you to pay for your life!" The medical officer trembled and did not dare to speak.

Zhang Lang shouted: "Ma Dai must not make a mistake!" Ma Dai let go of the medical officer and took a step back.

Zhang Lang said to the medical officer: "You do what you can, as long as you do your best, no one will blame you!" The medical officer is only resigned, and he complains in his heart, but now, it is useless to complain, and he only hopes that Ma Chao can be safe and sound, which is his own luck.

Dong Ying ran back, hugged her fists and said, "Big brother, the messenger has been dispatched." Zhang Lang nodded.

Zhang Lang asked the generals present: "What is going on?" Why was Meng Qi so seriously injured? Ma Dai then explained how to march, how to ambush, and how to be forced into the valley. Cao Xuan then said as if he had made a contribution: "If it weren't for the arrival of the Tiger Wing Legion led by the last general, I'm afraid the consequences would be even more unimaginable!" Zhang Lang nodded approvingly; Ma Dai was displeased, but firstly, in front of the lord, and secondly, although Cao Xing's statement was a bit exaggerated, it was basically in line with the facts, so Ma Dai did not refute Cao Xing's words.

Zhang Lang's face was thoughtful. At this moment, a scout officer galloped over, came to everyone, turned over and dismounted, and bowed with his fists: "General cavalry, the two generals Ma Xiu and Ma Tie are here with their troops." "Naturally, the leaders of Ma Xiu and Ma Tie are also the Blue Wolf Army. On the same day, Ma Chao led 100,000 blue wolf troops to capture Yingshang, and then divided the troops into two units, one led by Ma Chao Ma Dai and Cheng to the south to raid Huainan, and the other was led by Ma Xiu Ma Tie to garrison Yingshang.

Zhang Lang nodded and said to the scout, "Let them camp next to Dingfengjin." Sue Ma Hue Ma Tie, their brother is wounded and is recuperating here, let them come and have a look! The scout officer answered, turned on his horse, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.

Cao Xuan hugged his fists and said: "General, now that our army is here, it is better to attack Huainan!" How can the 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses in Huainan and the hundreds of thousands of civilian troops resist the general Tianwei! ”

Although Ma Dai was displeased with Cao Xing's face, he was also eager to avenge his eldest brother, so he also asked for orders to attack. The generals also asked for their lives.

Zhang Lang thought for a while and said: "Our army has come after a long journey after repeated battles, the men and horses are tired, and the heavy engineering equipment is still on the road, so the rash attack of the city is not worth the loss. The generals felt that what Zhang Lang said was reasonable, and Ma Dai had an anxious look. Zhang Lang patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry! Xun Yu is there, can he still run away? In a hurry, not only could not take revenge, but sacrificed the lives of many soldiers in vain! Ma Dai was a little ashamed and hugged his fists and promised. Zhang Lang said: "You are careful, the top priority is to take good care of Meng Qi, and put aside other things for the time being." Ma Dai nodded.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from the gate. Looking up, I saw Ma Xiu Ma Tie leading more than a dozen personal soldiers galloping over.

ran to Zhang Lang and others, hurriedly reined in the war horse, turned over and dismounted to meet Zhang Lang, and then saluted his colleagues. Immediately saw Ma Chao lying in the big tent, he was startled and hurriedly ran in. Seeing Ma Chao as if he was dead, he was shocked and sad, and couldn't help crying.

The crowd came in and persuaded them, and the two calmed down a little.

Zhang Lang asked the medical officer, "Can Meng Qi move like he is now?" ”

The medical officer clenched his fists and said, "Back to the lord, it should be fine." ”

Zhang Lang immediately said to Ma Dai: "Ma Dai, you immediately escort Meng Qi to Yuzhou, which can save a lot of time." Ma Dai nodded, and immediately beckoned all the soldiers to prepare the carriage.

Zhang Lang said to the generals: "Let's go out." So he led the generals out. Zhang Lang stopped and said to Ma Xiu Ma Railway: "Meng Qi is seriously injured and can't be a director for the time being, and the Blue Wolf Army is temporarily led by the two of you." The two generals clenched their fists and promised.

Another scout arrived. When he came to everyone, he hurriedly reined in his horse, turned over and dismounted, and reported with his fists: "General Qiyu, a large number of Cao army warships have been found in the lower reaches of the Huai River, and they are heading upstream!" ”

Everyone has been, Cao Xuan said in disbelief: "Aren't they besieging Jiangxia?" How did you get here? ”

Zhang Lang frowned, and ordered the generals: "All the centaurs immediately withdraw to Dingfengjin!" The generals clenched their fists and promised.

Lü Bu's army on the south bank of the Huai River hurriedly withdrew to Dingfengjin. As soon as they withdrew, a large number of enemy warships came across the river, and the drums of war beat loudly. In full view of everyone, the pontoon bridge on the Huai River was destroyed, and then divided into two groups, one went north, entered Yingshui and went up, and the other continued to go up the Huai River. Lu Bujun didn't have a navy, so there was no way to take them, and he saw Cao Jun's navy swaggering through the market. Many of Lu Bu's soldiers were so angry.

That night, a military intelligence report came from the south, saying that Cao's army had lifted the siege of Jiangxia, that the navy army was coming to Huaishui, and that the army had retreated to Wuchang County, east of Jiangxia.

Zhang Lang felt that it was difficult to stop a large-scale attack in a hurry, and perhaps he should take a break for a while and make plans for the next year. A few days later, letters from Jia Xu, Huang Yueying, and Zhuge Liang were sent to Zhang Lang's hands, all mentioning that he should temporarily rest and recuperate, and then make plans for the next year, and Zhuge Liang's letters also mentioned about Sun Ren.
