When night fell, a crescent moon had already hung over the east mountain, the sound of frogs chirping, and the wind at night was no longer cold.

The earth is rejuvenated, and there is vitality everywhere, but for the Wei army, it is like walking on thin ice, and the horse has returned three times, and the Han army has completely withdrawn from the territory of Yi County, and Xu Huang still does not dare to act rashly.

It was not until the third watch that the county commander was instructed to guard the city carefully, and took his personal guards to bypass Jishui from the north gate, and quickly returned to the camp.

The county order of Yixian sent Xu Huang away, and returned to the center of the house like a tide, without any sleep, the situation in the past two days was changeable, complicated, and more thrilling than the first half of his life combined.

First of all, Heyang was lost, the territory was shaken, and then he received the letter of persuasion from Gu, and when he was discussing with the officials, Xu Huang went to the city in person, so he had to hand over the letter truthfully to show his loyalty.

Today, the Han army came to attack the city, Xu Huang beheaded the trial and killed Guo Huai, just when everyone thought that the victory was in their hands, Ma Chao arrived again, defeated Xu Huang, ups and downs, it was too exciting.

I drank a few glasses of stuffy wine alone, calmed down a little, and went back to rest first, no matter who was in charge of the ups and downs, the days still had to pass, I just accepted a concubine last year, and I couldn't wait, and Xu Huang's official business will be said later.

As soon as I arrived at the house to prepare to change clothes, suddenly someone knocked on the door loudly, and the county magistrate was furious, opened the door and shouted: "Who is noisy? ”

The officer outside the door shouted: "It's not good, the Han army is here again!" ”

"Really?" The county commander was so shocked that he couldn't care about the murmuring call behind him, and hurriedly pulled his clothes and stumbled out.

Several officials hurriedly ran to the head of the city, only to see the torches outside the south gate, and the mountains were full of firelight, and there were thousands of people and horses.

The general of the city immediately raised a gun, it was Guo Huai, who had come during the day, and said to the county order: "Xu Huang has been alone, the war during the day, has nothing to do with you, if the city surrenders, but the past is not to blame, I hope you will know the current affairs early, and the people will not be killed." ”

The county order was originally for self-preservation, and he intended to surrender when he saw the letter of trial and solid, but at this time, seeing the soldiers approaching the city, the army had no desire to fight, and without the slightest hesitation, he ordered the city to be opened.

Guo Huai led the troops into the city, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the loss of the army was lost, but he finally took Yi County, and he had an explanation when he saw Xu Shu, if Ma Chao could ambush Xu Huang successfully, he could redeem the credit.

Ma Chao led the troops to ambush in the willow forest on the west bank of Jishui, listening to the night breeze blowing, the branches and leaves were swaying, the horses were eating grass on the side, and after waiting for a long time to see the Wei army arrive, he gradually became a little impatient.

was about to go to support Guo Huai, suddenly the scout came to report, Xu Huang came from the east bank, Ma Chao was remorseful, and hurriedly led the troops to chase, and the Wei army had come closer.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Ma Chao ordered someone to beat the drum, pointed to the other side and scolded: "Xu Huang thief leave!" ”

Xu Huang had long guessed that Ma Chao was unwilling to retreat, and there must be an ambush along the way, so he made a detour to retreat from the east, and sure enough, he laughed and said: "Ma Chao Xiaoer, how can you fight with someone with such a small skill of carving insects?" ”

Ma Chao was furious: "Xu Gongming, do you dare to fight me to the death?" ”

Xu Huang said with a smile: "You have the ability to cross the river and fight!" ”

Ma Chao was angry: "Come here!" ”

"A certain dignified Chinese general, how can he be as knowledgeable as the Qianghu wild species?" Xu Huang also held his breath today, and he showed no mercy under his mouth.

Ma Chao jumped like thunder, pointed a gun at Xu Huang and scolded: "Xu Huang dog thief, I swear to kill you!" ”

Xu Huang let out a bad breath, looked up to the sky and laughed, and even remembered the safety of the camp, and beat the horse and left.

Ma Chao roared angrily, and stabbed the willow tree on the shore with a backhand shot, only to hear a loud bang, and the old willow tree with a thick waist was pierced by a shot.

After another burst of applause, he divided the willow tree into two, sawdust flew all over the place, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Xu Huang, I swear to capture you alive, eat your flesh, and sleep on your skin." “

Ma Chao was angry, and rushed to Yixian with his troops in a rage, preparing to kill, but unexpectedly the defenders surrendered in Kaicheng and sat alone in the government until dawn.

The next day, the people and horses were delivered, leaving the horses to guard the city, and instructed: "Yixian County connects Hedong and Bingzhou, and there are many merchants who come and go. ”

Ma Zheng was reluctant this time: "I just want to go into battle with my brother to kill the enemy, and I'm not interested in money." ”

"Less nonsense!" Ma Chao was irritable and scolded: "There is no money and food, what are you going to fight with?" ”

Ma Zong and Ma Le, one is good at operating industries, the other is good at training war horses, and the Ma family's transactions with the Qiang people and various parts of the Western Regions in Xiliang are all completed by Ma Zang alone.

In these years, Ma Teng's troops entered the pass, and Han Sui and other Xiliang princes clashed, half of the money and grain were raised by Ma Zong, Ma Chao recommended him to guard Yi County, it was to raise military expenses.

Only then did Ma Yang understand, he gladly accepted the order, sent Ma Chao and Guo Huai away, and immediately summoned the county magistrate and the officials in the city to register all the shops, businesses and dart bureaus that often come in the city, and prepare to do a big job.

Ma Chao led the troops back to Heyang, 50,000 horses had crossed the river, and 30,000 Xiliang cavalry, the momentum was huge, but the cavalry consumption was also extremely large, so he had to prepare early.

Guo Huai went to the government office and took the initiative to ask Xu Shu for guilt, but he was careless for a while, and he was reckless, and most of the men and horses were damaged, and he suffered a big setback when he sent troops for the first time, and he was ashamed.

Xu Shu knew the news of Yixian County for a long time, and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and I didn't expect Xu Huang to be so bold. ”

Guo Huai hugged his fists and said: "One day, I will defeat Xu Huang, and I will be ashamed." ”

Xu Shu smiled with relief: "Xu Huang is a good general in the world, and he has been in battle for a long time, it is not a shame for you to lose under him." ”

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Huang also had a meritorious service in escorting back then, but unexpectedly, he saw the wind and turned to Cao Cao, and the hero became a helper of evil, which is a pity." ”

The two scolded and scolded, but after fighting with Xu Huang, seeing that he was both wise and brave, it made Ma Chao feel a sense of pity.

Xu Shu said: "Now that the Wei State is embattled, I expect that Yun Chang and Kong Ming will be the original, and no one can be the thief, and it will be difficult to reverse the decline when Cao thief arrives in Xuzhou." Xu Huang is lonely in Hanoi, sooner or later he will be defeated, and if he wants to capture this person, he needs Meng Qi's help. ”

Ma Chao laughed and said: "Don't worry, the next time you meet Xu Huang, you will be able to catch it." ”

Before the words fell, only one person said loudly: "Kill chickens with a knife? To capture Xu Huang, one person is enough! ”

Xu Shu turned his head to look, and saw a tiger with a bear's waist, eight feet tall, and a body like an ape, it was Ma Chao's deputy general Pang De, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Ling Ming is also enough to be hostile to Xu Huang." ”

This Pang De is also a member of the Xiliang fierce general, originally engaged in Ma Tengzhou, with it to pacify Qiang, Di, several military exploits, moved to the school captain, once in Hedong with Ma Chao to break Guo Yuan, Gao Gan personally beheaded Guo Yuan, martial arts and Ma Chao are not equal.

Since Xu Shu traveled thousands of miles to help Jincheng and rescued Ma Chao and his party in Wuquan Mountain, they all felt deep for him, and helped them to take revenge for their defeat and calm Xiliang, and everyone had already taken care of each other.

Seeing Pang De's request, Ma Dai was also eager to try, and chuckled: "Xu Huang is difficult to support alone, I already have a strategy to capture the enemy!" ”
