Ma Chao didn't see Han Sui in the tent, so he rushed out of the tent and looked around. Before Han Sui could find any traces, he saw a fire behind the tent, and all the battalions of Han Sui moved. Ma Chao saw that the soldiers were surrounded and did not dare to fight, and saw that Han Sui's war horse was tied to the tent, so he turned over and grabbed a spear from Han Sui's soldier and rushed outside the camp to kill.

Pang De and Ma Dai were ready when Ma Chao entered the camp, and the two of them led the troops to kill in the chaos in Han Sui's camp and fought with Han Sui's soldiers.

Ma Chao led a few relatives to just kill out of Han Sui's camp, and before he could join Pang De and Ma Dai, he saw Cao Bing four to surround Han Sui's camp: Xu Chu in front, Le Jin in the back, Xiahou Yuan on the left, and Xiahou Yuan on the right. On the other hand, the soldiers and horses of Xiliang killed each other in the camp.

As soon as he saw Cao Bing surrounded on all sides, Ma Chao knew that Cao Cao had fallen for Cao Cao's treacherous plan. At this time, the men and horses in the camp also saw Cao Bing, whether it was Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry or Han Sui's soldiers, they all rushed to the outside of the camp to kill and flee for their lives. It turned out that most of Han Sui's soldiers did not know that Han Sui had voted for Cao Cao and regarded the Cao army besieging the camp as an enemy.

Ma Chao saw that the soldiers in the camp were rushing out in chaos, but he was happy in his heart, and gathered more than 100 iron horsemen around him to rush outside the camp to kill. Cao Cao saw that the sergeants of the battalion were scattered and broke through, there were dozens of teams of men and horses, where could they tell where the horses were over? He can only order his soldiers to do their best to surround and kill the enemy.

The night of melee between the two armies was twilight, and Ma Chao broke out of the encirclement, leading more than 100 iron horsemen to the Weihe Bridge, wanting to find Pang De and Ma Dai. I didn't want to find the two of them, but I saw Han Sui's general Li Kan leading an army to the bridge.

Ma Chao shouted when he saw this person, and chased after him with a gun. Li Kan didn't expect Ma Chao to guard the bridge here and block the way. He knew that he was not Ma Chao's opponent, so he dragged the gun and left.

The two were chasing, and it happened that Xiahou Yuan came from behind Ma Chao, and when he saw Ma Chao chasing Li Kan, he didn't think much about it, and shot at Ma Chao with an arrow. Ma Chao heard the sound of the strings behind him, and hid in the stirrups with a move, and hurriedly flashed. The feather arrow crossed Ma Chao and happened to hit Li Kan in front, and Li Kan fell off his horse and died at that time.

Ma Chao saw that Li Kan was dead, and returned to Ma to kill Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan was defeated by Ma Chao and left. Ma Chao chased after a while, and saw Cao Cao leading the army to kill, Xu Chu led the tiger guard to take the lead, and Cao's soldiers fired arrows at Ma Chao to prevent him from pursuing Xiahou Yuan. Ma Chao hit the eagle Ling with his gun, and the arrows landed one after another, so after such a delay, Xiahou Yuan fled back into the formation.

Cao Cao regarded Ma Chao as a big trouble, and now that he was surrounded by him, how could he let him go? The horses are surrounded on all sides. Ma Chao led the iron cavalry around him to rush back and forth, but Cao Bing was wrapped in a thick circle and couldn't rush out. Ma Chao knew that if he didn't break the cauldron and sink the boat today, he would die here, so he simply stopped rushing out of the battle to kill, but shouted at Cao Cao to kill. Only by killing Cao Cao and taking advantage of the chaos of Cao's army can Ma Chao break through.

Cao Bing saw Ma Chao rushing straight into the formation, how could he let him get his wish? Swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows and arrows all greeted Ma Chao. There is a way that two fists are hard to defeat with four hands, and the good tiger can't stand the wolves, and before Ma Chao rushed to Cao Cao's side, he was shot down by Cao Jun's secret crossbow when he sat down on the horse.

Ma Chao fell to the ground and could only fight on foot to meet the enemy, wielding a spear impenetrable and stabbing Cao Jun to death. At this time, there was a sudden "click~" sound, and the gun in Ma Chao's hand was broken, obviously this captured bamboo and wood spear couldn't help Ma Chao fight for a long time. Ma Chao lost his war horse and spear, and Cao Jun gathered on all sides, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If there is a BMW and a treasure gun, why is it here!" He drew his sword and fought again, but he lost his previous bravery.

At the critical moment, suddenly a Biao army and horse in the northwest corner came to break through the siege of Cao's army. Ma Chaoyi saw that the people were Pang De and Ma Dai, and he was overjoyed.

Pang De and Ma Dai have been looking for Ma Chao since they left Han Sui's camp, and they don't want to meet here, which is also a great joy. Ma Dai was leading a horse behind him, it was Ma Chao's Sha Lifei, and he was still wearing a tiger's head and a golden gun. Ma Chao was shocked when he saw that he loved Ma Baogun, turned over on his horse, and fought a bloody road to the northwest with Pang De and Ma Dai.

Cao Cao learned that Ma Chao had escaped, and ordered the generals: "Day and night, the horses must be captured and killed." Those who can get their heads will be rewarded with thousands of gold and sealed by ten thousand households. The one who can be captured alive is a general. ”

All the generals had to compete for merit, and they chased after Ma Chao and others. Ma Chao didn't care about people and horses, so he just cared about running. When tens of thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen came, now there are only a few thousand left, and ten percent of them have been folded by ninety, and as for the tens of thousands of foot soldiers, they have long been unable to keep up with the team, and most of them have been captured by Cao Jun.

Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai fled from Longxi, and Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and other generals chased after them. The two armies marched to a mountain road, and suddenly drums sounded on both sides of the road, and countless flags were erected on the mountainside. Rolling logs and gravel rolled down the hillside and smashed at Cao Jun.

Cao Bing was suddenly attacked, and there was chaos at that time, and they all avoided wood and stone. Xiahoudun looked at the mountain, and there was a word "horse" embroidered on the mountainside flag, which was clearly a Xiliang person, and he was shocked.

Not to mention that Xiahoudun and other Cao generals were frightened, even Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai were also confused. This time the troops were sent to take revenge, and the soldiers and horses of Xiliang were almost exhausted, leaving only one or two thousand soldiers, guarding the cities and passes in various places, and the generals were not left, all in the army. They couldn't think of anyone who was leading the ambush here.

Although he didn't know who led the troops, Ma Chao would not miss the fighter and led thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry to turn around and kill him. When Xiahoudun saw Ma Chao kill back, he thought that Ma Chao had already arranged the ambush here, so he didn't dare to fight, and led the soldiers and horses to retreat.

Ma Chao chased and killed for a while, and suddenly found that although the drums of the ambush soldiers on the mountain were beating loudly, but not a single soldier went down the mountain to pursue Cao Jun. When we got to the side of the mountain, Ma Chao arched his hand to the mountain and asked, "I don't know which general on the mountain saved me by borrowing the banner of my Ma family?" Ma Chao was grateful and begged the general to come forward to see him. ”

"What? The Ma family's banner is only used by my brother, so I can't use it? After a silver bell-like voice sounded, Ma Chao saw a group of female soldiers hugging a female general down the mountain, and there were several generals by his side.

"Little sister (Yunluo)! How are you? Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De were really surprised and delighted when they saw that the person leading the troops was Ma Yunluo.

Ma Yunluo was also very happy to see his brother who had been absent for a long time, but when he thought that he would never see his father again, his expression was gloomy. It turned out that when Ma Dai escaped from Xuchang under the cover of the dart bureau, Ma Yunluo learned the news of his father Ma Teng's death in Jiaozhou. At that time, Ma Yunluo cried all day long, but thanks to Cai Yan and others comforting him on the side, he stopped his sadness. Although Ma Yunluo was a little stubborn, he also knew the general situation, and he did not want to use Jiaozhou soldiers and horses to avenge his father, but he proposed to go home for funeral.

Regarding Ma Yunluo's request, no one in Nanye's mansion has the right to object, after all, the deceased is the first to be filial piety. So Cai Yan ordered Lu Lingqi to lead the women's barracks to accompany Ma Yunluo home for funeral. Before leaving, he also advised Ma Yunluo to be patient and careful in everything, and wait for Nan Ye to come back from Nanzhong.

As soon as Ma Yunluo led the people to set off, Guo Jia came, and insisted on sending Zhang He and Zhang Yan to lead 10,000 Jiaozhou troops to escort them secretly. Ma Yunluo was very puzzled, and felt that it was completely unnecessary, and it was not a war to go home for funeral, so why bring many soldiers and horses to consume money and food? Guo Jia asserted that Ma Yunlu would encounter war on this trip, and although these 10,000 horses could not control the battle situation, it was enough to save their lives.

Guo Jia's words Ma Yunluo didn't dare not believe it, and he didn't dare not listen to it, so he asked 10,000 horses to be escorted secretly. When Ma Yunluo returned to Xiliang's house and met his sister-in-law Yang, he knew that Ma Chao had indeed raised troops to compete with Cao Cao.

When Ma Yunluo heard that his brother had all his troops and horses, he was about to lead the troops to help Ma Chao, but was stopped by Zhang He. Zhang He persuaded: "Feng Xiaoxian once said when we led the troops: If General Meng Qi raises troops, we can gather Xiliang soldiers and horses and bring the general's family to meet him on the road that must be passed through the boundary pass." If General Meng Qi wins, he can still win without the help of his wife. If the general is defeated, we will be the way to help the soldiers, and we can save the general's life. Although 10,000 soldiers and horses are a lot, they are not much, so don't abuse them! ”

Hearing Zhang He's words, Ma Yunluo felt reasonable, so he gathered 10,000 Xiliang guards, and brought them out along with a family of all the old and young, and stationed them on the main road. The day before yesterday, I heard that Ma Chao's army was defeated, so he ambushed the soldiers here, and disguised the army with a false flag to save Ma Chao.

Ma Chao and the others listened to Ma Yunluo talk about the cause and effect, and couldn't help but sigh for a while, and they all admired Guo Jia's uncertain prophet. Ma Yunluo asked Ma Chao: "What are my brother's plans now?" ”

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said: "The hatred of killing my father is not shared!" I want to go back to Xiliang and reorganize my troops and horses to fight a decisive battle with Cao Thief. ”

Ma Yunluo frowned and said, "Brother Shicai said that Han Sui had already voted for Cao Cao. If the elder brother returns to Xiliang, Han Sui will lead Cao soldiers to attack, how can he let the elder brother take a break from the army to support the people? When the elder brother kills Han Sui and fights Cao Cao again, I don't know what year and month it will be, and besides, Cao thief may attack Xiliang at any time, how can my brother defend him? ”

Ma Chao thought about it carefully, and the situation was indeed not optimistic, so he asked Ma Yunluo: "What should I do according to my little sister's opinion?" ”

Ma Yunluo said: "Why don't you lead the troops to return to Jiaozhou with your little sister?" If the husband learns that his father was killed by the Cao thief, he will definitely raise an army to take revenge, and at that time, the brother and the husband will join forces, and they will definitely snow today's hatred. ”

Ma Chao knew that although his sister didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of her words was to let herself vote for Nanye. If it was before the war with Cao Cao, Ma Chao really wouldn't agree. First, because Ma Chao, as the prince who inherited Ma Teng's mantle, has his own arrogance and will not be easily convinced. The second is because Ma Chao feels that his face is dull when he takes refuge with his brother-in-law.

But at this moment, this time Ma Chao lost under Cao Cao's strategy, and suddenly felt his shortcomings. Although his own soldiers are strong and brave, he has no plans and plans. If he returns to Xiliang, he will definitely be destroyed by Han Sui and Cao Cao sooner or later, as Ma Yunluo said. Rather than waiting until the mountains and rivers are exhausted at that time to serve others, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers and horses are still alive to vote for Nanye, and maybe they can be reused to avenge their father early. Compared with the life of the family and the revenge of killing the father, the issue of face is obviously not so important.

After thinking about it in his heart, Ma Chao asked Pang De and Ma Dai: "What do you two think of the little sister?" ”

The two replied in unison: "It's all up to my brother (the young general)!" ”

Ma Chao decided: "Okay! I'll gather the soldiers here in two days. Then he went south to Jiaozhou to join the national division. ”
