After the Yuanshui, the saddle horse did not stop along the way, and the time to sleep and rest did not exceed three hours a day. It traveled nearly 400 miles in two days, although it was far less than Cao Cao's light cavalry chasing Liu Bei, and the speed of traveling 300 miles in one day and one night was also a rare rapid march.

Although Zhao Shu's horse skills are still skilled, it is unbearable to consume physical energy to rush like this, and the pain between the two strands has long been grinding, and the skin is afraid that it has also taken off a layer. I am afraid that the walking posture of half a month will not be normal, but thinking about Ma Liang's life and death, I have to grit my teeth and insist.

By noon on the third day, the military horses had arrived in Yiyang, and there were many hills and grasses. Zhao Shu ordered the whole army to rest in place, and by the way, use some dry food to nourish their spirits. If Lu Meng is still in the Wuxi tribe, it will inevitably be another vicious battle, if he does not accumulate manpower and horsepower, how can he break the enemy and win?

Zhao Shu also dismounted and sat on the ground to rest, took the skin bag from Li Wei's hand, and just drank two sips of water to quench his thirst, he heard a sergeant shouting: "General Guan is back, General Guan is back." ”

Zhao Shu has not been worried about Guan Xing in the past two days, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and only after walking a few steps, he saw Guan Xing coming in a hurry, and he was about to salute when he saw Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu stepped forward and said, "Anguo, how is the situation in Wuxibu?" How is Mr. Ma? ”

Guan Xing replied: "Sir, the last general is too late, Mr. Ma has already been captured." ”

"Whose is it?" Zhao Shu asked urgently, but immediately said happily: "Is it General Huan?" If it was Lu Meng, Gao Ping would directly kill him, and he didn't need to be taken prisoner again. ”

Guan Xing also said: "The last general also thought so, so he inquired, and there were only a few people who rescued Mr. Ma, and they were chased by the people of the Wuxi tribe to the mountains and forests in the north. After the envoy of Shamoke arrived, it was explained that he had surrendered, so the soldiers and horses of the Wuxi tribe had not attacked, and only the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses brought by Gao Ping were still chasing and killing. General Huan has few people, and he relies on the terrain to maneuver with him, and Mr. can go to the rescue quickly. ”

Huan Yi has been a bandit, and it seems that he also has a lot of experience in this battle of mountains and forests, and he can resist Gao Ping's more than 1,000 men with only 200 people. However, Gao Ping's bravery is obvious to all, and Zhao Shu immediately said: "Without further ado, Anguo will be led by you and go to the rescue of General Huan." At the sound of the order, the two thousand light horsemen also turned on their horses and headed straight for the north.

Walking less than ten miles, I saw a Biao army and horse coming from a distance, about a thousand, Guan Xing, Li Wei and the two hurriedly pressed their positions, stretched their bows and crossbows, and waited to tear and kill. But he heard Shamoke shouting: "Mr. Zhao, this is the king's subordinate." ”

Zhao Shu looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was all brute soldiers with beast armor, and he hurriedly ordered not to shoot first, so that Shamoke could come forward to appease. The barbarians on the opposite side suddenly saw so many Jingzhou soldiers and horses and looked a little flustered, Shamoke came out of the horse, and asked loudly: "Which cave master is in the army?" ”

When all the barbarians saw that it was Shamoko, they all shouted in unison, "It's the king." Then there was a year when the old barbarian came out and replied, "The king, it's for the uncle." ”

"So my uncle is here." Shamoke was very happy when he saw his subordinates, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Uncle, I have agreed with Zhao Shu that we will not commit any more crimes against each other, we are all friends, don't use knives and guns again." ”

Zhao Shu asked Guan Xing, only to know that this old barbarian general, named Dongxinlei, was Shamoke's uncle, with a transcendent status in the clan and a high prestige. Zhao Shu couldn't help but look at it a few more times, he didn't look as fierce and vicious as Shamoke, but had a bit of the elegance of a Han scholar, his eyes flashed, and he looked a little deep.

Dongxinlei had already received the order of the Shamoke envoy to surrender, but now when he heard him talk about it, he was not surprised, and said: "You are the king, whether it is war or peace, it is all your words." ”

Zhao Shu heard this from afar, and also felt that his tone was cold, and he seemed to be dissatisfied, so he heard Guan Xing whisper next to him: "This Dongxin Lei has a very good relationship with Brother Nai, and he has a good chance to be the king, but Shamoke is brave and powerful, and the cave masters in the clan, the elders dare not offend Shamoke, so they have to let him be the king." ”

Zhao Shu nodded lightly, between this uncle and nephew, there are contradictions and disagreements, which is beneficial and harmless to Zhao Shu. Shamoke turned his back to Zhao Shu, not knowing what his face was, but his voice was no longer as excited as just now, and he asked lightly, "Where is Mr. Ma now?" ”

Dongxin Lei said: "Mr. Ma was captured, and now the general Gao is leading troops to round up, and Uncle Wei has received the order of the king to return to obedience, and is planning to collect troops and return to the tribe." ”

Shamoke nodded and said, "Since my uncle wants to return to the clan and stay behind, this king will also go to rescue Mr. Ma." ”

"The king has lost more than half of his soldiers and horses in this battle." Dong Xinlei pointed to the brute soldiers behind him, and said coldly: "For my uncle, this little personal soldier, or I still bring it myself, Mr. Ma is our VIP of Wuxi, and he should do his part for his uncle." ”

Shamoko laughed and said, "That's very good. There was no smile in his tone, and he said, "Uncle, please go with this king to see Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Shu looked at the two uncles and nephews coldly, and secretly sighed in his heart, Wuxi is old and weak, and there are only tens of thousands of people, and it is also worth fighting? It seems that there is really no one who doesn't like power. Zhao Shu also stepped forward and saluted Dongxin Lei, his words were quite polite, Shamoke's heart was still not completely attached, if Dongxin Lei was slightly supported, so that Shamoke would have a little power, then Wuxi Man would not be able to become a big climate.

Dongxin Lei had just withdrawn from the front, knowing that the path was not far. At that moment, everyone was polite, and they joined forces and came to rescue Huan Yi again. This road has gradually entered the mountainous area, and the grass and trees on both sides are overgrown, which is very unfavorable for cavalry combat, and for fear of ambush and fire attack, Zhao Shu sent scouts from time to time, and the troops did not march as fast as before.

After traveling about ten miles, the horses sent out returned, and there were military horses in front of them to defend. Dong Xinlei was also on the side, and said, "Sir, the two armies are fighting around here. ”

Zhao Shu was worried about Huan Yi and Ma Liang's safety, so he casually agreed, and then took Guan Xing and Li Wei to step forward. Shamoke was not worried about Ma Liang's life and death, and he followed closely, but Dong Xinlei seemed to feel very sorry for his soldiers and horses, and he suppressed the formation from a distance. Zhao Shu looked at Shamoke, although he was annoyed, but he was helpless.

Zhao Shu and Guan, Li Er will climb to a high place, and sure enough, they saw a mountain range in front of them, the terrain was extremely steep, and the military horses on it cut down more trees and piled up boulders, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army came from afar, all light cavalry, without any siege equipment, how to attack it, it was quite difficult.

Zhao Shu was thinking about a strategy, but he heard a general rushing out of the opposite mountain and shouted, "Mr. Zhao." Zhao Shu and everyone took a closer look, and they were all overjoyed, who was it who came instead of Huan Yi?
