Although he had the assurance that Dong Zhuo would not sneak attack halfway, Ma Chao didn't believe that Dong Zhuo would really keep his promise. Just in case, he still ordered Pang De to lead his palace, pretending to retreat obediently and not taking much precautions, and lured Dong Zhuojun to come to pursue him.

However, what reassured Ma Chao was that he waited until he led his troops into Linfen City, and along the way, Dong Zhuojun deliberately distanced himself from Xiliang Tieqi, and did not dare to sneak attack. Entering Linfen City, Ma Chao climbed the city gate tower to see that Dong Zhuojun chose to camp ten miles west of Linfen City, and the Bai Bo Army and the Hun cavalry set up camp ten miles east of Linfen City.

The two camps and Linfen City show a three-legged trend. And to a certain extent, this is a semi-encirclement of Linfen City. Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little worried. The war lasted less than two days, and although it won two battles, there were so many changes that the direction of this counterinsurgency war was even more confusing.

But this is already a fait accompli, and Ma Chao has no choice but to order his troops to strictly defend the city and be careful of the siege of these two armies.

When I returned to the city, most of the day had passed, and it was dusk. Fighting the enemy fiercely for a whole day, especially with Xu Huang for dozens of rounds, made Ma Chao physically and mentally exhausted. There was a lot of sweat on his body, but because it was winter, the clothes he wore were too thick, and the sweat did not evaporate, but stuck to the clothes, which made Ma Chao very uncomfortable. Ma Chao thought to himself, he should take a hot bath and relax.

Walking back to the shogunate, the girl immediately greeted her and smiled sweetly, "General, you're back!" ”

Looking at the smile on the face of the young man in front of him, Ma Chao nodded slightly, but suddenly thought in his heart, how good it would be if this was not a teenager but a girl.

Ma Chao hurriedly dispersed this thought and responded softly: "Hmm." ”

The girl smiled, and while untying Ma Chao's cloak, she said: "I made soup cakes for the general again, and the general must be hungry after working hard in the war!" ”

Ma Chao looked at it, and sure enough, there was a steaming bowl on the table.

Ma Chao sat down and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

Ma Chao picked up the noodle bowl and saw that a lot of beef was added to this bowl of noodles, and some chopped green onions were sprinkled.

The girl smiled: "I'm afraid that the general will not be full enough to eat only soup cakes, after all, the general is so tall, so he added a lot of beef." The general is about to eat it, but it won't taste good if it's cold! ”

Ma Chao smiled: "Okay! ”

After a day of fierce fighting, and there was no time to eat at noon, Ma Chao was so hungry that he immediately buried his head, kept the chopsticks in his hand, and ate happily.

Seeing Ma Chao eating so deliciously, the girl looked at it and felt even more satisfied.

I suddenly remembered that I was now covered in sweat, and the sweat was still sticking to my thick clothes. Ma Chao broke the garlic cloves and said, "Xiao Cai, I have to bathe, you go and prepare!" ”

When the girl heard this, she chuckled in her heart and said, "Can it ...... Can ......"

Ma Chao raised his head and looked at the girl and said, "You won't be, you won't serve people to bathe, right?" ”

When the girl heard this, she thought that Ma Chao asked this, it seemed that as long as she answered "no", she would not be allowed to serve and bathe anymore, and immediately the chick pecked the rice and nodded, saying, "Yes, I won't ......"

Ma Chao said: "No? I can teach you! ”

When she heard this, the girl was stunned.

Ma Chao said: "You go and prepare first, and then I tell you what to do, you can do it, it's easy." ”

The girl was so embarrassed that she hesitated and said, "General, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right?" ”

Ma Chao was a little strange, looked at her suspiciously, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The girl didn't dare to meet Ma Chao's gaze, buried her head, and whispered: "In case someone misunderstands......"

Ma Chao felt even more strange and said, "What is the misunderstanding? It's all men, what's there to get wrong? ”

Hearing this, the girl chuckled in her heart again. Oh, yes! Xiliangjun thought she was a man up and down, and Ma Chao was no exception. If she refuses this request, Ma Chao must doubt her identity. And once her identity is exposed and the military law is ruthless, then she and her father will be in danger of their lives!

Ma Chao was still looking at her suspiciously, and the girl knew that she had no choice, so she had to respond softly: "Huh." ”

Ma Chao put his mind at ease and said, "Then you go and boil the water first, and then prepare a big bathtub, go!" ”

The girl blushed, and she didn't dare to let Ma Chao find out, so she kept her head down, and she said, "Oh." And he ran out as fast as he could.

Seeing the young man running out of the room quickly, Ma Chao couldn't help but shake his head, although this young man is very kind, but sometimes he is quite stupid.

The aroma of noodles and meat wafted in, Ma Chao stopped thinking about it and continued to eat noodles.

When Ma Chao was full, he walked out of the door, and saw Yang Biao coming over, Ma Chao said, "Why is Yang Gong here?" ”

Yang Biao said: "Oh, there is nothing to do, the old man happened to hear that the general took in a patient. The old man also knows a little bit about medical skills, so he wants to come and take a look. ”

Ma Chao sighed: "Gong is really warm-hearted. ”

Yang Biao smiled and said: "Don't dare, the general rescues people back, and he is the real benevolent and righteous gentleman." ”

Ma Chao pointed to the room where the old man lived and said, "In that case, the patient is in that room." ”

Yang Biao nodded, seeing that Ma Chao was leaving, and asked casually: "Where is the general going?" ”

Ma Chao was irritated that his body was slimy, and he remembered to take a bath, so he said casually: "Oh, take a bath!" I've ordered my attendants to prepare hot water for me!" ”

"Then don't bother the general." Yang Biao bowed his hand slightly.

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Yang Gong also please take care of yourself." ”

Yang Biao pushed open the door of the room where the old man was, walked in, and Ma Chao continued to walk to the bathing place.

Walking to the backyard, Ma Chaozheng saw the young man standing outside the door of a room, rubbing the corners of his clothes with both hands, his head down, and his face flushed. Ma Chao couldn't help complaining in his heart, this young man is quite a girl, like a little girl.

Ma Chao walked over and said, "Xiao Cai, why is your face red?" ”

The girl was a little startled, and she was moved, and said, "Oh, it is fumigated by the heat of hot water." ”

Ma Chao said happily: "Oh? Hot water ready, right? I can take a bath, right? ”

The girl nodded.

Ma Chao said: "Come in with me!" As he spoke, he couldn't wait to raise his feet and walk in.

The girl's heartbeat is even more violent, and if she goes in, she will definitely be ashamed to death; But if you don't go in, it's easy to expose your daughter! What can I do about this?!

After Ma Chao came in, he saw a big bathtub in the house, filled with hot water, and it was steaming. Ma Chao saw that the girl didn't come in with him, so he took off his armor and shouted, "Xiao Cai, what are you still rubbing?" Why don't you come in and wait for me to bathe? ”
