Chaoping rode a horse and chased after him, he obviously felt that the cavalry in the army was not as fast as those enemies, when Chaoping caught up with the cavalry, those enemies had already run far away, Chaoping hurriedly stopped those cavalry, and shouted: "General Zhang, don't chase." The general on horseback stopped the army, turned around and led the horse to Chaoping, and said respectfully: "Donkey." Chaoping said to him: "Now you go quickly to let the army not panic, now the whole army is in disarray, let everyone camp at the mouth of the valley, count the casualties, and keep on guard in case the enemy attacks again." After receiving the order, General Zhang took his entire cavalry team to maintain order in the army.

Chaoping saw the boss and them coming on horseback, and the boss said very embarrassed: "Master, are you okay?" Chaoping shook his head and said, "It's okay, do you know who they are?" The boss replied very embarrassedly: "We didn't fight them, but when we got to the valley, the thieves laid down the boulders, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses, and our brothers rushed over as soon as they left the valley." Chaoping said, "Well, I know, let's go back." ”

After Chaoping and they came back, he and Cao Xinyang commanded the army to set up camp, and soon set up camp, in the military tent, Cao Xinyang stomped his feet and said: "Brother, why don't you chase it, if I catch up with them and kill these thieves." Chaoping said: "We can't catch up, although they are all dressed in black and can't see their way out, but their horses are definitely good horses outside the border, and our horses in the Central Plains can't catch up, and the army is important." Cao Xinyang said: "Then what kind of conspiracy did they have when they came to the Central Plains?" Chaoping said: "Maybe it's passing by, don't talk about this, it's important for us to hurry." After saying that, Chaoping left the military tent very unhappily, the boss and they went out with Chaoping, and the boss was still asking Chaoping: "Master, do we really don't care about these people?" Chaoping said: "They are just ordinary thieves, we don't care what they do." After he said this, he left, the boss and they always felt that something was wrong with Chaoping, because Chaoping would always explain to them what he had encountered before, and this matter was so strange that Chaoping didn't take it seriously. When the boss saw Chaoping, they didn't dare to ask more, and everyone went back to rest.

In the military tent, Chao Ping sat alone on the bed, thinking that the emperor had gone to the border pass, and these people would not have much impact when they entered the Central Plains, if they guessed correctly, they should have come to inquire about intelligence, but there are many questions that have not yet been solved. Chaoping looked down at the wound on his arm, everyone didn't see it, Chaoping has been feeling hot and cold on his body since he was injured, it has been several hours, the situation has just improved, Chaoping knows that these people's knives are poisonous, and it is not ordinary poison, if it is ordinary poison, Chaoping will not feel it, after all, he has eaten a strange fruit before, it is already a hundred poisons, Chaoping feels that it will take a few hours to resolve this poison by himself, so he ordered the guards outside the door not to disturb him, and he rested quietly in the military tent。

"Master, no. The eleventh of the Youyun soldiers said, "Don't shout, rest the horses, and tell no one to disturb." Now he didn't dare to squeak, and when Chaoping heard it, he said, "Come in." Then, several Youyun soldiers came in and said in a panic: "Master, it's not good, none of the soldiers who were injured before survived, and their bodies were all white, as if they had been frozen." Chaoping nodded and said, "Got it, has General Cao dealt with it?" The boss saw Chaoping like this, as if Chaoping knew everything, but no matter how much he asked, he said: "General Cao has ordered the sergeant to deal with these casualties." "Go down." After saying that, everyone went out, and everyone had doubts in their hearts, they didn't know that Chaoping was injured.

The next day, the army continued to hurry, and after another two days, the whole army was not as energetic as before, but everyone showed that they were tired, and many soldiers were in a mood, and the speed of the march was significantly slowed down. Cao Xinyang discussed with Chaoping and said: "Don Ma, how is this good, these days, the morale of the army is very weak, how can you go to Luzhou like this, and there is not much grain and grass left." Chaoping said: "This is indeed the biggest problem we are facing, I don't know if Brother Cao knows an allusion in the Three Kingdoms period, Wangmei quenches his thirst?" Cao Xinyang said: "Of course I know, at that time, Cao Cao led the troops, and the soldiers were hungry and thirsty, and he said that there was Merlin in front, and the soldiers had the motivation to move forward." Chao Ping continued: "Yes, now we should raise our morale and follow the example of Cao Cao back then." Cao Xinyang said: "Then what should we do?" Chaoping said: "I have thought about this matter, as long as you agree, I plan to let these soldiers not slack off on the march, and those who disturb the morale of the army will not be killed, and when they arrive in Luzhou, all the sergeants and centurions will be promoted to one level, and the cavalry will be sent to Luzhou in advance, and a feast will be set up in the city of Luzhou to welcome the army." After hearing this, Cao Xinyang said: "I agree with this later, but this official is promoted to a higher level, I'm afraid it can't be so hasty, I don't know what the horse thinks?" Chaoping said: "Now the emperor is driving a personal expedition, I don't know how the war is ahead, the national strength of the capital has been damaged before, especially the army in this Luzhou, which is not as good as before, and now after arriving in Luzhou, I think we should start conscription, first, we can restore the original system, and second, if there is anything at the border, we can also send reinforcements." Cao Xinyang said: "It's not impossible, but can we decide like this?" Chaoping said: "Now you are the commander of the army, and besides, only people below the centurion have the opportunity to be promoted, and you have this right." Cao Xinyang nodded and said, "Okay, come here, pass on my military order." Then Cao Xinyang conveyed the military order according to Chaoping's meaning, and soon, the cavalry in this army went to Luzhou first, and although the rest of the people were a little hungry, they were all trying to rush to Luzhou, because they knew that the generals had been very good to them, and the current situation would not be accelerated if everyone would starve to death, which was definitely not a joke.

Seeing that it was a few miles away from Luzhou, and the weather had improved at this time, these soldiers cheered, and gave an order to Chaoping and Cao Xinyang, "Enter the city." The army rushed to Luzhou City, and at this time, the people in the city and the army that had arrived before were already ready to meet the army. Everyone entered the city, Chao Ping and Youyun soldiers were behind the back hall, and finally Chao Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's finally here, and then it depends on how the border passes, what is the world, what is the royal road, and the peace of the world is the real royal road." ”
