Black clouds were pressing behind me, lightning flashed and thunder fell, and heavy rain fell in the blink of an eye. From a distance, it seemed as if a sky curtain enveloped the grassland.

The Di tribe was behind this grassland. Although there was only a mountain ridge between them, the black clouds did not reach the border. In the blink of an eye, the wind and clouds dispersed, and it was sunny again, which was amazing.

The group arrived at the station, exchanged some greetings, and then arranged to wash up and rest. They fought for days, and everyone's energy was exhausted to the limit. Especially Ma Chao and others, who were supported by their will for revenge.

He slept so hard that he woke up at noon the next day. Agui had already ordered people to prepare milk-roasted sheep and entertain everyone with the best food so that they could regain their strength as soon as possible.

Di Ren's sheep are all sheep with thick fur, and their meat is rich and oily. A bowl of haggis soup is more nourishing than a panacea. After eating and drinking, they continued to sleep for three days in a row before they felt tired.

Agui re-selected horses for Ma Chao and others, trained them in the mountains for half a day, and stretched their muscles. When they returned to the tribe, Xu Shu had already written and drawn on the map.

Ma Chao wondered: "Now that the Di people are leading the way, we can return to Hanzhong soon, so why use the map again?"

Xu Shu sighed: "The general doesn't know. Two days ago, Cao's army blocked the main roads in Longxi County. Fifty thousand elite troops were stationed in Didao. Han Sui and the Qiang people have surrounded Panghan and are heading here to kill."

Ma Chao was shocked and said: "The military situation is urgent, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xu Shu smiled and said: "This battle depends entirely on the general's power. How can we face the enemy if we don't rest assured to recover our strength?"

Ma Chao said angrily: "Han Sui, the old thief, seems to be determined not to give up until we are all driven out. This time I will take his head."

Agui entered the tent and said with a smile: "General Shenwei Tian is from the White Tiger Star. No matter how many troops he brings, it will be in vain."

Ma Chao patted Agui heavily on the shoulder: "This time I was saved by the king, but it also caused trouble for you."

Agui laughed and said: "What did the general say? We Di people have always had clear grievances. If the general hadn't taken action back then, our people might have perished long ago. If we don't repay this kindness, we won't be able to feel at ease."

Ma Chao sighed with emotion and ordered: "This battle is unpredictable, so your family members must be transferred as soon as possible."

Agui nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu has explained two days ago that it is very safe for them to enter the Evil Spirit Grassland now."

Ma Chao was shocked and said: "If you let them enter this place, wouldn't it mean that they will never return?"

Agui smiled and said: "Although the Evil Spirit Grassland is in crisis and the weather is abnormal, it is not without a way. As long as you explore carefully, you can still find a way in and out. In these years, we have lived around it and have often competed with the Qiang people for territory.

, there must also be a way to protect yourself.”

"That's good!" Ma Chao let out a long breath: "I'll feel relieved if my husband arranges it."

Agui said: "Now the eight thousand bravest warriors in the camp obey the orders of the general."

"Okay!" Ma Chao clasped his fists and said, "If Ma can escape from danger, he will never forget the kindness of the king when he becomes prosperous in the future."

Agui also saluted and said: "We respect the brave heroes the most. The general is so powerful that it is our honor to fight alongside you."

Xu Shu smiled and said: "As long as you two work together, even if Han Sui sends a hundred thousand troops, it will be in vain."

Ma Chao took Agui and sat next to him and asked, "Sir, what are your countermeasures?"

Xu Shu said: "The general's escape this time made Han Sui and the Qiang people uneasy, so they rushed out at all costs. They seemed to be aggressive, but in fact they were terrified inside. As long as they win a few big victories, they will naturally fall apart."

Ma Chao clasped his fists and said: "Since the battle with Cao Jun, I have fully realized that bravery alone is not enough to defeat the enemy. This battle will all depend on your master's control. We will fight with all our strength."

Since the defeat of the Wei River, Ma Chao, who was running in Xiliang, felt frustrated. In addition, Ma Teng was killed by Sima Yi's conspiracy, and he knew more about the fear and importance of counselors.

This time Liu Qi sent Xu Shu to rescue him. There were no dangers along the way and he was able to retreat calmly. Although he had not dispatched troops yet, he had already been recognized by Ma Chao and others.

Xu Shu nodded and said: "In the past two days, I have asked King Di to send a guide to take Shi A to draw a map of the nearby area. By using the geographical advantage to defeat the enemy, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"Mr. Xu, I heard that Han Sui led 50,000 troops across the Tao River this time. How confident are you that you can deal with them?"

Although Agui offered his full support to Ma Chao, this was blocking the fate of the entire clan. It was impossible to say that he was not worried.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "When using troops, we need to pay attention to the timing, location, and harmony. Although Han Sui has a large number of troops, the Qiang people from Dangxiang have recently arrived, and they appear to be very different from each other. They come to pursue us from afar and are not familiar with the geography. We are united in the city and are waiting for work. It will not be difficult to defeat them."

Agui seemed to understand what he heard, but seeing Ma Chao nodding, he felt a little relieved and said: "I have followed Mr. Xu's plan and sent someone to contact Baima Di in Wudu. If I get the news, I will contact him immediately."

Report to Hanzhong and our reinforcements should arrive soon."

He already knew Liu Qi's reputation, and this time he helped Ma Chao join Liu Qi. In the long run, it was also for the development of the entire tribe.

Ever since he learned about Liu Qi's attitude towards the Ba people, Agui wanted to make friends with him, but he was so far away from him and couldn't do anything about it. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he had to seize it.

Ma Chao said in surprise: "Yang Wanwan? How has he been doing in the past few years?"

Agui smiled and said: "Wan Wan has become the leader of the White Horse tribe. Like me, he originally planned to help the general go to the Weishui River to fight against Cao's army. Unexpectedly, the general retreated years ago, so he had to give up."

Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "The Cao thief has so many tricks and tricks that it is really hard to guard against. This time he has instigated the old thief Han Sui to turn against him. We, Xiliang, have a blood feud with the Cao family, and sooner or later they will have to be completely liquidated."

While they were discussing, Maletti received the package, and his face was full of joy: "Sir, what you told me is ready, and the whole army is working hard to make it."

Ma Chao asked doubtfully: "What are you preparing again?"

Ma Le took out a round prickly knot from the bag and handed it to Ma Chao: "Brother, what do you think this is?"

Ma Chao took it and turned it around in his hand. Four sharp thorns were carved on it with a knife and axe. He frowned and said, "What is this?"

Ma Le took out another one. It was actually made of iron. He threw it on the table casually, with one or two spikes pointing upwards. He smiled and said: "Brother, you said this thing is going to be sprinkled on the ground, and what will happen if a war horse steps on it?"

Scene?"

"Ah this?" Ma Chao was shocked. He was a cavalry commander, so he naturally knew how lethal this thing was to war horses.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "This thing is called iron caltrop. It was made by Zhuge Kongming and was specially used to deal with cavalry. It seems that Han Sui is going to try it."

"Zhuge Kongming?" Ma Chao picked up the iron spike again and asked, "But what about Mr. Wolong?"

"That's right!" Xu Shu nodded and said, "The young dragon and phoenix are ten times more talented than me!"
