rest.

In a flash, it was the third day, and the desert king couldn't bear it any longer. He wondered if Wuxi's wife, children, and children were safe and trapped here. Could it be that this was his burial place?He decided to try again no matter what.Ignoring Cai Yin's repeated dissuasion, he sent several small teams to attack from different directions. In less than half an hour, the same news came. tears.

Cai Yin was also anxious, but she was still much calmer than her father. The girl thought about it for a long time before she said to the desert king: "Father, my daughter thinks that the Han army is not trying to destroy us. And our most important thing right now is to kill us." It is to leave here and go back to Wuxi to save people, so can we negotiate terms with the Han army, as long as we can get out of trouble now, there will always be a chance for revenge in the future."

"How to talk about conditions? Will the Han army agree?" The desert king felt completely unsure.

"As long as we promise not to violate the border in the future, the Han army will definitely agree, and my father, the Han army has a man like Zhuge Liang as the commander, who can win with less troops than ours, and has people like Zhang Fei and Ma Chao. General, my boy thinks our army has little chance, so why don't we just stop fighting and deal with Meng Huo with all our strength." Cai Yin finished what she wanted to say in one breath.

The desert king thought for a while, and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Forget it, just keep the Han army steady. After Meng Huo is dealt with, I will use up all the troops in the territory, and then fight to the death with the Han army. I am so humiliated this time. Reporting is not what a real man does."

Cai Yin thought that the chance of winning the battle with the Han army was not great, but her father refused to admit defeat, and she had no choice but to persuade her later when she had time. For now, the most important thing is to find a way to leave here.So she asked her father to find some soldiers with loud voices and ordered them to shout to the Han army on the mountain.

A soldier came to report that the desert king who was trapped in the formation sent someone to negotiate with General Ma Chao. Ma Chao's hearing was very good and he heard someone shouting from a distance in the canyon formation.Ma Chao thought to himself, I don't have the time to argue with you, I know the desert king's back and forth, let alone the negotiation is not my authority.But seeing that it was still early, they would have to be trapped until midnight at least. After thinking about it, Ma Chao ordered someone to send a message to the stone formation at the foot of the mountain. He only said that this matter should be reported to the commander, so at least he would not be able to reply until night, the king of the desert. Had to wait helplessly for the verdict.

Near midnight, Ma Chao sent a message, agreeing to let the desert king leave, of course, on the condition that after returning to Wuxi, he would submit a letter of surrender to the Shu Han and never rebel again.Let the desert king light a bonfire in the formation, and Ma Chao on the mountain wrapped the brocade with the method of leaving the formation around the arrow and shot it down the mountain.

After receiving the brocade silk, everyone was overjoyed and wished they could get away immediately, but considering that it was inconvenient to march late at night, and the Han army had agreed to let them go, they were not in a hurry, so they rested on the spot and set off until dawn.

At sunrise in the east, Ma Chao ordered the 500 soldiers who had already rested, and left [-] soldiers to quickly dismantle the stone array in the canyon.The rest of the troops followed the desert king's army far away and marched towards Wuxi.

In the middle of the night, when they approached Wuxi, they heard the screams of killing not far away, and the scouts came to report that the desert king's troops had already killed the Nanman king Menghuo's army.It turned out that Meng Huo had conquered Wuxi a few days ago and captured the desert king and his subordinates' families. He had learned that the desert king's men had been trapped in the Jiashan Canyon for many days and their entire army had been wiped out. Meng Huo felt that he should rest easy. .The old enemy for many years was eliminated once, and the family members were also under control. Thinking that he could be the only one in southern Xinjiang, the arrogant mood couldn't be added. Immediately, the Ministry will hold a banquet to celebrate, and the gang will get drunk.

In the middle of the night, the desert king's [-] troops suddenly arrived. Although Meng Huo's army was superior in numbers, many of them were too drunk and lost their lives when they were confused in their sleep. The sober people also rushed to fight, but the superiority in numbers In the end, the desert king took back Wuxi, but both sides suffered numerous casualties and paid a heavy price. After Meng Huo escaped from Wuxi with his remnants, the desert king was horrified to find that his princess and his beloved The sons had disappeared, and after asking the captured men of Meng Huo, they found out that Meng Huo had taken the princess and the little prince away before he retreated.

Just when the desert king and his daughter were discussing that they should immediately lead troops to chase after Meng Huo and rescued his beloved wife and son, they heard that the Cave Master of the Three Caves had brought troops to reinforce him. When it was close, it was known that several armies of the Han army came rushing in. The desert king said that his generals were unable to fight any more. In the chaos, he did not know how many troops the Han army had. all the same.

Ma Chao chose the best time to attack, and captured Wuxi to capture the desert king alive, and the war in southern Xinjiang could be ended. At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and it was reported that Zhang Fei's [-] elite soldiers were approaching here. Ma Chao didn't want to Wait, he wants tougong very much. When he returns to Chengdu in the future, Zilong will be very happy with his record.

Successfully intercepted the desert king who was almost out of trouble, the opponent looked a little embarrassed.Seeing Ma Chao blocking the way, the anxious Desert King didn't even think about it. He raised his big knife and flew towards him. Although the Desert King is powerful and skilled in martial arts, it's a pity that the person he faced was Ma Chao, and he had already fought with him before. Meng Huo's army had been fighting for nearly midnight, and they were already exhausted.The corner of Ma Chao's mouth curled up into a chuckle. Such kung fu was not worth mentioning in front of him. The dragon riding point in his hand sprang out like a dragon, and met the big knife. Not as good as myself, so I want to fly the opponent's weapon and catch the opponent, otherwise, according to the desert king's flustered knife just now, there will be many loopholes, and Ma Chao can kill the opponent with one shot.

When the swords met, the Desert King's big sword flew out and narrowly escaped. Ma Chao retracted his gun and quickly pointed it out, pointing directly at the opponent's chest, and shouted loudly: "Get off the horse."

Seeing that he was about to force his opponent to commit a crime, a horse flew over not far away, and the woman in red immediately exclaimed: "Ma Chao, don't hurt my father."

Ma Chao couldn't bear to see Cai Yin's panic-stricken face, but this is war, and there is no kindness to the enemy. "If you don't hurt your father, you will dismount and accept surrender."

Cai Yin had already come to the front of the battle, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. "General Ma, our army has been defeated like this and lost Wuxi. We should have surrendered. As for my father and I, they should naturally be dealt with by the general. It's just that Meng Huo kidnapped my mother, queen and younger brother, and my father and I The king is going to save people, and I hope the general will be accommodating."

The woman's eyes were exactly the same as the wife who parted with him on the city wall that day, with the same sadness and helplessness, and Ma Chao couldn't help but feel that he wanted to help her.

Caiyin looked at the silent Ma Chao, and pleaded again: "General Ma, Caiyin is willing to stay as a hostage, please let my father and king go to save my mother and younger brother, and then I will surrender to the Han army. May ten thousand arrows pierce the heart and die."

"Let's go." Withdrew the gun casually, and finally couldn't bear the apology deep in my heart, and the family love that I felt the same way. When my relatives were massacred, the heartache was so deep in my bones. If I gave myself a Opportunities can save them, and they will pay any price without hesitation, not to mention keeping a woman hostage is not what a man would do.

The Desert King and Cai Yin still did not believe that Ma Chao would let them go so easily, and it took a while to be convinced that Ma Chao would not make a move. The Desert King hurriedly pulled his daughter to prepare to leave.

"Desert king, where do you go, old Zhang is here." Zhang Fei rushed to him, and Zhang Ba's snake spear waved his way, blocking the way.

The Desert King didn't answer, but took his daughter and took the road away. Zhang Fei stabbed out with a spear, and was suddenly caught by Ma Chao's dragon rider. Taking this opportunity, the Desert King and Cai Yin rode away.

"Ma Mengqi, what are you doing?" While firing Ma Chao's gun, he still wanted to chase the enemy, but Ma Chao's gun was tangled with his own spear for a while, and when the two weapons were separated, the enemy had already run out. It's a long way.

"Three generals, let them go." Ma Chao retracted his gun and said flatly.Zhang Fei was very annoyed, he was about to capture the Desert King in one fell swoop, but this Ma Chao didn't know what was wrong, so he tried to obstruct him and let the enemy go.

"Ma Mengqi, give Lao Zhang an explanation, otherwise..." With strong dissatisfaction and warning.

Ma Chao sighed softly: "Three generals, the princess and the little prince of the desert king were kidnapped by Meng Huo. Their father and daughter just wanted to save people, and they have promised to come and ask for surrender after saving people. Our army has conquered them." Wuxi, the father and daughter must have no place to go, so they won’t break their promise. If the three generals and the military adviser want to blame, Ma Chao is willing to bear it.”

Zhang Fei stared at Ma Chao for a long time, thinking that it was a war now, Ma Chao was so kind, not to mention that the battlefield is changing rapidly, the desert king has repeated it many times before, causing considerable turmoil in southern Xinjiang, The most important thing is that if it is because of Ma Chao's move, if Pingnan's battle situation falls short, it will affect the acquisition of Dongchuan.But now the man has been let go, so he had to leave it to Kong Ming to deal with the aftermath. Presumably the military division should arrive at Wuxi City soon.It also occurred to him that Ma Chao was originally the heir of Xiliang, and he always did things according to himself. It seemed that he violated the order more than once, and it was even worse than when he first joined his elder brother.It’s just that Zhang Fei knew that Kong Ming was usually easy-going with his generals, but he had always been very strict in running the army. This meant that Zhang Fei had never violated military discipline since Kong Ming came out of the mountain.
