Chapter 173: Agreeable to each other (I)

"Brother--!" As Ma Chao looked at her in surprise, Ma Yunlu rushed towards her like a hot red cloud. Behind her fire, a handsome young man who was almost a little jealous was following her closely. The snow horse was a gift from Ma Chao on Ma Yunlu's birthday when she was sixteen years old. If it weren't for her intimate relationship, Ma Yunlu would never give her love horse to others.

As they looked at each other, the man opposite also cast a strange look. The two of them felt their hearts tight, and they could feel the domineering aura emitted from each other based on their intuition.

"Little sister, where did you come out?" Ma Chao said with joy.

Ma Yunlu frowned in habitually and smiled, "Hmph, without me, you both would have been trapped in the city by Yan Zhutou. Why don't you thank me for your life-saving grace!"

"Don't joke, how is this possible?" Ma Dai said disbelief.

Ma Yunlu proudly raised her whip and said, "Hmph, if you don't believe it, forget it! If Brother Yun hadn't done his best, you--."

Ma Dai heard the girl Brother Yun call intimately, so he went up and asked, "Miss, the young master behind him is--!"

A red cloud suddenly flew on Ma Yunlu's face and he stammered: "He is, General Zhao Yun--!" Perhaps only mosquitoes can hear the following words clearly.

When Ma Chao heard the word Zhao Yun, his heart skipped a beat. This name was so familiar.

"Zhao Yun——, could it be Zhao Zilong, Changshan!" Ma Chao's face changed and he blurted out.

"Ma Mengqi of Xiliang!" Opposite, Zhao Yun also cast a respectful look at Ma Chao.

The two met each other, and after a while of silence, they finally laughed. Ma Chao laughed and said, "My girl's vision is indeed amazing. If General Zhao had not helped her, Chao would have been deadly enemy formation!"

Ma Chao's appearance was quite complimentary, but in fact he was dissatisfied. Zhao Yun, who was quick-minded, naturally guessed Ma Chao's sour mentality at this time. He hung up a silver spear and said, "General Ma was the bravest of the three armies. How could he be harmed by the small punishment? Yun was entrusted by the general and traveled thousands of miles to Liangzhou. One was to help the Ma family, and the other was to discuss with the general in the west."

"Since the general comes to help me with the Ma family, that's great! I'll take you to see the eldest dad!" Ma Dai said happily.

While talking and laughing, Du Ji led the remaining soldiers of the Rising Wind Camp to arrive. It was considered as a three-way team meeting, but the total was only six or seven hundred soldiers.

Ma Chao frowned and asked, "General Zhao has people lying near the side, so why not ask to go into the city to rest together!" He thought that no matter how brave Zhao Yun was, he could not rely on three hundred soldiers to kill Yan Xing. He never thought that in fact, Zhao Yun only used more than ten people.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, put away the silver spear and hung it on the saddle hook, and replied: "These three hundred brothers follow me all the way west, sleeping in the wind and dining, sharing the joys and sorrows. If I live, there are them. As for rest, I think it is not the time. Although this time, he killed Yan Xing and severely damaged Han Sui's agility, he would never give up with the relationship between Han Sui and Yan Xing. Our top priority is to plan carefully how to deal with the enemy's counterattack!"

After hearing this, Ma Chao nodded frequently and praised: "General Zhao is indeed a man of the world. His courage, courage and wisdom are extraordinary. However, even if you and I are united in one place, there are less than a thousand people. If the enemy makes a comeback, we will still have to fight a fierce battle!"

Du Ji said at this time: "After Yan Xingsu's death, there is no other general in Han Sui's army. As long as we can have an elite army to attack and defy the camp, it is not difficult to defeat the more with less!"

"This one is—!" Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged scholar in Zhao Yun's army.

"The Duling family in Jingzhao Prefecture is Du Ji!"

Ma Chao was surprised to hear Du Ji's answer so generous and powerful. In the places where the Han, Qiang and Hu live together in Western Liang, only force can intimidate others. Everyone looks down on those literati who are powerless. Literature chants just shake their heads and recite articles, which will only harm the country and the people. When a war is true, the first person who is afraid of death is the literati.

This is a firm concept rooted in the minds of border immigrants for several generations. Their ancestors were far away from their hometowns because of an imperial edict from the court. In the hearts of these people who left their hometowns, the direct object of hatred was those strategists who came up with bad ideas in front of the emperor.

Ma Dai continued: "Brother, Du Shenjun said that it makes sense. Let's report joy to Da Da Da first, and then ask Da Da Da to send reinforcements. As long as we defeat one of the enemies in the two routes, Han Sui will have to retreat."

Ma Chao kept shook his head, a trace of unrestrained edge flashed through his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "No need. Since my dad did not agree to send troops before, he would not send troops now, so let him take those so-called elite soldiers to defend Jicheng to the death. Jinzhi, this is my secret talisman. You can hurry to Shangzhi and let Pang De lead his troops to join the war!"

"Will Ling Ming come?" Ma Dai hesitated.

Ma Teng had already ordered Pang De to guard Shangri, and now Ma Chao ordered him to help his troops in Beiyuan. For Pang De, if he listened to Ma Chao's order, it would be a serious crime to disobey the military order and be executed according to the law.

Ma Chao said confidently: "If Ling Ming doesn't come, is he Pang Lingming?"

Under the commander Pang De, there are nearly two thousand elite soldiers who can block ten. The combat effectiveness of this army is much stronger than that of Ma Teng's troops in Jicheng. If Pang De's elite troops help him, he will be sure to defeat Han Sui's army.

Just as Zhao Yun and Du Ji struggled to meditate in order to gain a foothold in Xiliang, their every move had been learned by the spies sent by Cao Cao to Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Xiliang.

Xu Du, Prime Minister's Mansion.

A thin middle-aged man with a pair of slender eyes sat quietly on the brocade stool, savoring a bottle of fine wine in his hand. From time to time, he squinted his eyes and showed an intoxicated expression. Even Cao Cao's long-term stare could not make him feel panic.

"Wenhe, Gao Chong's son is involved in Xiliang. I wonder what kind of high opinions do you have about this?" Cao Cao finally asked.
