Xichuan is the territory under the jurisdiction of Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang and Liu Bei are the same clan. Therefore, it is not an easy task to enter Xichuan. Liu Bei loved the name of Renjun too much, and he was reluctant to attack Xishu.

Among them, Xiang Xia also pulled Zhao Yun to try to persuade Liu Bei, hoping that he could do it as soon as possible. Liu Zhang is mediocre and cowardly, and his subordinate generals Wenchen have a tendency to centrifuge, so he should take advantage of this great opportunity to make a decision. It's not that they don't have the strength to confront Liu Zhang, not only do they have, but they are far better than Liu Zhang.

But Liu Bei always dragged back again and again. This made Xiang Xia anxious, she was still waiting to show her skills on the battlefield, and more importantly, she promised Zhuge Liang that Xichuan was bound to win. But if Liu Bei keeps hesitating, the capture of Xichuan will only become far away.

In the end, it was the new army division Pang Tong who sacrificed his life to find a righteous excuse and justification for Liu Bei to point his sword at Xishu. Liu Zhang's subordinates not only killed Pang Tong, but also paid for the blood debt, which is the principle of heaven. Liu Bei finally made up his mind and headed for Western Shu.

Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xiang Xia and others to besiege Chengdu, a key place in Western Shu, and Liu Zhang had no choice but to surrender the city.

After Pang Tong died, there must be no military division in the army. Zhuge Liang had to rush from Jingzhou to Chengdu.

Although Chengdu was taken, it was in exchange for Pang Tong's life. So this result is not satisfactory to everyone.

The new army division Pang Tong has the title of 'phoenix', and it just so happens that Zhuge Liang is also known as 'Wolong'. It is rumored that if there is one person in Wolong and Phoenix, the world can be safe.

Originally, the dragon and phoenix were all held by Liu Bei, and the morale of the army soared. The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and the dragon and phoenix often represent auspiciousness, so doesn't this also mean that the plot of the world is just around the corner.

But now the loss of the phoenix chick is always a pity.

So when Xiang Xia later faced Zhuge Liang, he was also ashamed. Although there is good news, it cannot be regarded as a great victory. And if she can take Chengdu, she can't be regarded as a great hero.

Zhuge Liang also treated her coldly for many days, and offered his courtesy to the military adviser tent every day in the summer. And in order to prevent accidents, he kept in touch with Guan Yu almost every once in a while.

After that, Zhuge Liang made a small plan to make Ma Chao come down.

Ma Chao, the word Mengqi, is known as 'Jin Ma Chao'. The young man became famous, and he was also a brave general, who could fight hundreds of rounds with Xu Chu and Zhang Fei. He has a grudge against Cao Cao for killing his father, so it is impossible for him to serve and defect to Cao Cao in this life. Once, Ma Chao was defeated and retreated by Cao Cao, and after the defeat, he attached himself to Zhang Lu. But Zhang Lu is a strange-tempered person, and once said, 'I'd rather be a slave of Cao Gong than a guest of Liu Bei'. So later, Zhang Lu naturally surrendered to Cao Cao.

In this way, Ma Chao has no choice but to find another good habitat. Zhuge Liang threw out some olive branches, and Ma Chao was taken under Liu Bei's command.

On this day, Ma Chao showed his loyalty and brought all his family members to join Liu Bei.

Inside the military tent.

Liu Bei sat on the top seat, Zhuge Liang was on his side, and the generals stood on both sides.

"Sin General Ma Chao, meet the lord. I also ask the Lord to forgive the sin of being delayed. "Ma Chao has just surrendered, so he calls himself a 'criminal general'.

As soon as Ma Chao knelt down like this, all the brothers and sisters of the Ma family behind him also bowed.

"Hurry up, please." Liu Bei lifted his hakama, held his toes, ran to Ma Chao, and helped him up.

"The courage of the horse is no less than that of Lu Bu back then. It is a great honor and blessing for me to have horses. Liu Bei held Ma Chao's hand and said excitedly.

What he said was not a joke, but a true expression. Cao Cao, who is so capable, once uttered the words of 'horses don't die, and I have no place to be buried'.

It can be seen how much of a threat Ma Chao posed to Cao Cao. A brave general like Ma Chao is rare and hard to find.

Now that he is being asked by Liu Bei, he is not happy.

Xiang Xia couldn't help but look at Ma Chao a few more times, she was thinking, if Cao Cao knew that Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, his bad temper would probably attack again.

"Lady." Zhao Yun quietly moved her soft, and there seemed to be resentment in her tone. seems to be dissatisfied with her looking at Ma Chao too much.

Xiang Xia shyly stuck out her tongue at him, as if to explain that she didn't mean anything else, just looked at it curiously for a while.

However, this Ma Chao was born with a fierce general face, and even when he laughed, it did not make people feel soft. When the face is expressionless, it is even more intimidating and does not dare to approach half a point.

Although when she first saw Zilong, she also thought he was a general's face. But Zilong's general's face can be cold or gentle, and Zilong's handsome facial features are better than Ma Chao.

I don't know what kind of jealousy this person is eating in front of me, and he is not as handsome as you.

At this time, among the brothers and sisters of the Ma family, there was a smart-looking, handsome girl looking around curiously.

When she looked at Zhao Yun, a trace of uncertain surprise flashed in her eyes.

Next, in order to win people's hearts, Liu Bei eagerly welcomed Ma Chao to a high position. Together with Zhuge Liang, he said some kind words with Ma Chao.

The girl saw that the people in the high position were talking very happily, and she was a little careless.

Xiang Xia Zao found that the girl had been staring at Zilong, but she didn't expect her to move towards them.

It was impossible for Zhao Yun not to notice it, he only looked away. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the woman's movements, and couldn't help frowning.

The girl had already walked up to them and asked Zhao Yun, "...... are you?"

Zhao Yun only pretended not to hear and left the girl aside. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, Xiang Xia stopped in front of Zhao Yun, raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "My name is Xiang Xia, I don't know who Your Excellency is." ”

The girl's face obviously became a little displeased, she was not looking for Xiang Xia. However, when she first arrived, she still understood the sophistication of the world, and their family came to take refuge. Isn't it a place to take refuge if it sounds good, but isn't it to send someone under the fence and find a place to possess it. Therefore, she still replied respectfully and politely: "I am the little sister of the Ma family, Ma Yunlu." Please advise me in the future. ”

She introduced herself with her hands in fists. The face did not reveal the delicate nature of the daughter's family, but it fell greatly, and the heroic spirit could be seen between the eyebrows. It is worthy of growing in the cool land of the west, and the temperament is completely different from that of the girls in the Central Plains and the South.

"Hmm." Xiang Xia also hugged a fist and clicked his jaw in response.

"Well, the big guys must be tired today. Go down and rest first, and if I don't take care of anything, you must bring it up with me. Liu Bei greeted politely.

"Thank you, Lord." Everyone in the Ma family bowed again.

"Then let's all disperse." Liu Bei flicked his sleeves.

After Ma Yunlu stood up, he faced Zhao Yun and wanted to speak again.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Xiang Xia again: "Miss Ma, I don't know if you can adapt to life in the army." ”

That's nonsense. Although Ma Yunlu is a daughter's family, he was born in Xiliang. Xiliang people are all laying down the world on horseback, how can there be no reason to be uncomfortable.

After all, people are caring about themselves, Ma Yunlu Nunu said: "You and I are both daughters, and I grew up in Xiliang." You can adapt to it, how can I not adapt. ”

Listening to her arrogant tone, the people of Xiliang seem to be superior.

"That's good." Smile at the summer skin without smiling.

"You ......" Ma Yunlu still didn't give up, and wanted to talk to Zhao Yun again. Even if you can't talk, at least let him notice himself. But from beginning to end, he didn't even look at himself, how could he be willing.

"It's not early today, the girl is tired of traveling, so let's go back and rest early." Xiang Xia intercepted again.

Ma Yunlu is really a little sulky at this time, she is not stupid, she will not fail to see that the woman in front of her is deliberately interrupting her.

At the right time, the two brothers Ma Chao and Ma Dai appeared behind Ma Yunlu: "Little sister, let's go." ”

Obviously, Ma Yunlu didn't want to leave yet, but the two brothers were urging behind him, and they couldn't let the brothers wait for a long time.

"Hmph." Ma Yunlu glanced at Xiang Xia with a cold face, turned around and walked away.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai found that their little sister didn't seem to be very happy, and they bowed their heads to Yuntian and the others in embarrassment. Then, he caught up with Ma Yunlu: "Little sister, wait for me." ”

There were not many people left in the tent, so Zhao Yun straightened his face.

"Zilong, do you know that girl just now?"

Zhao Yun frowned and thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Lady, I don't know her." ”

"But the girl is here for you." It's clear that he came to find him, and Xiang Xia said in his heart.

"But lady, I really don't know her." Zhao Yun hurriedly said, lest he have any thoughts about the summer.

Xiang Xia is not suspicious of Zhao Yun, Ma Yunlu himself just said that she grew up in Xiliang, Xiliang is located in a remote area, and it is impossible for Zhao Yun to have contact with Xiliang. She just wondered why Ma Yunlu was looking for Zhao Yun, her husband was stared at by a girl in broad daylight, and it was impossible for anyone to have no opinion in their hearts, and there must be discomfort.

However, for the sake of his good performance, his mood suddenly changed a lot.

At this time, Huang Yueying leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The woman just now is Ma Mengqi's little sister and the only daughter of the Ma family. The Ma family originally pampered her as a little princess, but they didn't expect that their little princess inherited the traditional bloodline of the Xiliang people, and she was good at martial arts and war. It is said that the woman has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she also has a good martial arts, not to mention being one of the best, she can be regarded as unparalleled among women, especially with extremely high marksmanship. I think she's beautiful and beautiful, and it looks like you've met a fierce rival this time. ”

Huang Yueying snickered and joked, she didn't miss the good show they had just now.

"You also think that she looks at Zilong with admiration." Xiang Xia asked with a frown.

Huang Yueying nodded, "It is said that Xiliang people have a straightforward personality, and they have a clear distinction between love and hate. This is true, and I can see it today. She had to worry about this good sister of hers, so she revealed everything she knew to Xiang Xia.

This so-called 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles'.
