Cheng Yu and Xun You asked the generals to hurriedly stop Xu Chu, but Ma Chao and Xiliang Tie rode extremely fast, and they reached the periphery of Cao's army in a short time.

In the face of Ma Chao, whose offensive and speed were so strong, the generals of Cao Jun couldn't help but smack their tongues.

Xiahou Yuan had the most irritable temper, he stabbed the war spear to the ground hard, and said: "So many people, I was stunned to let a junior kid rob people in front of us, and turn around to the military camp of the pottery merchants, wouldn't it make those soldiers of the Tao army laugh at us and the others without stopping?" ”

But Yan Xing had already galloped to Xiahou Yuan's side and said, "In such a situation, what should I do?" ”

Xiahou Yuan snorted and said angrily: "You can bear it, but I can't bear it!" I can't swallow anything I can't swallow! ”

After saying that, he saw Xiahou Yuan clamping his legs hard, and led his troops to chase in the direction where Xu Chu and Ma Chao fled.

The rest of the generals of the Cao army were also unambiguous, and they all rode straight and followed Xiahou Yuan to chase after them.

After a short time, the generals of Cao Jun rushed to the place where Ma Chao and Xu Chu's soldiers and horses were arranged, only to see that the two had shrunk their soldiers and horses into a valley next to an official road, and blocked the valley mouth with crossbowmen.

The valley mouth is very narrow, and the soldiers can't use it, and they can't advance or retreat for a while, which is quite a dilemma.

Xiahou Yuan was about to command his soldiers and horses to rush in, but Yan Xing came over and persuaded: "General Miaocai, don't worry, his army is nested in the valley and guards the valley mouth, although we can't get in, but they can't get out easily...... We might as well surround this place and guard him for a few days, I expect that there will be no water source in it, and when the water is exhausted, we will naturally be able to rush in and take down their heads. ”

Yan Xing's words made Xiahou Yuan wake up suddenly, he touched his chin, thought carefully for a while, and then nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then let people go to the back to report to Xun Gong and Cheng Gong, and when the time is ripe...... And then dispose of it. ”

In this way, Cao Jun began to settle down outside the valley.

And Ma Chao and Xu Chu in the valley are now a pair of difficult brothers.

……

Late that night, the moon was shining in the sky.

Ma Chao and Xu Chu looked at each other, and the faces of the two of them did not look at each other unpleasantly at the beginning, and there was still some sympathy for each other in their eyes.

Or can it be described as Freemasonry?

When the two of them were during the day, they had organized many raids to the outside of the valley!

But the Cao army outside the valley has already arranged strong bows and crossbows, no matter how strong and fierce Xu Chu and Ma Chao's soldiers and horses are, but under the fierce defensive arrangement of the Cao army, no matter how many times Xu Chu and Ma Chao clashed outward, they could not break through the other party's encirclement.

After a long time, Xu Chu and Ma Chao also gave up breaking through, but chose to sigh in the valley.

A pair of enemies are now a pair of difficult brothers.

Xu Chu looked at the fire of Cao Jun outside the valley, and said with a long sigh: "Brother Ma, today's things are really resentful of me, if it weren't for my too eagerness, you and I wouldn't have ended up in such a field today...... Alas, now that I think about it, I feel a little remorseful. ”

Ma Chao shrugged helplessly and said with a smile: "Why did Brother Zhongkang say that? In fact, as far as the previous things are concerned, Ma also has a lot of things that are relatively insufficient...... Alas, when he first joined the command of the prime minister, he still had to compete and compete with the general, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is really a big mistake. ”

Xu Chu shook his hand and said: "Where is it, Brother Ma's words are really too much, in fact, it should be a certain family to thank you, if it weren't for your rescue, I'm afraid that a certain family would die in the hands of the thief." ”

Ma Chao smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at Cao Jun in the distance, and said helplessly: "Even so, but now we are trapped here, and now the enemy army is holding the valley mouth, and in a few days, when the water we bring with us in the valley is exhausted, I am afraid that we will not be able to pass this pass." ”

Xu Chu rushed with Ma Chao a few times during the day, knowing that what Ma Chao said was true, he couldn't help but sigh at the moment.

"Meng Qi's words are very true, alas, looking at this situation, you and I are unable to fly today."

After saying that, he saw Xu Chu slamming the ground hard, and said: "But just like this, a certain family is also unwilling, and a certain family is not afraid of death, but even if it is, a certain family will die vigorously, and the horse leather shroud is so aggrieved in this valley, it is really too embarrassing!" ”

Ma Chao turned his head to look at Xu Chu: "Listening to what Brother Xu means, do you still want to fight?" Rush out? ”

Xu Chu nodded vigorously and said, "Rush out!" If you can't rush out this time, a certain family won't go back, and it's a big deal to die outside. ”

Ma Chao also stood up and said, "Brother Xu has such ambitions, do you dare to care?" Willing to accompany General Xu to go with him! ”

Xu Chu looked up at the sky and said, "Zi Shi rushed out, if this one still fails, then this place will be used as a burial place for you and me, how about it?" ”

Ma Chao stood up and said, "The last general is willing to accompany him!" ”

Xu Chu stood up and said to Ma Chao: "If we fail, we will die, brother, you are still young......

Ma Chao laughed and said: "Death is death, what can it do?" I have been fighting on the battlefield with my father since I was a child, so why should I be afraid of death? ”

Xu Chu thought about it carefully and said, "Since the virtuous brother has this courage, good!" Then let's live and die together! ”

Ma Chao arched his hand towards Xu Chu and said, "Brother, if you don't give up, I am willing to become brothers with my brother!" ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he was stunned.

"You want to bow to me?"

Ma Chao nodded vigorously and said, "Exactly." ”

Xu Chu thought for a moment and said, "That's it!" The left and right are going to die, get a brother, and turn back to Huangquan Road, which can be regarded as a companion! ”

……

When the son was approaching, Xiahou Yuan, Pang De and others were outside the valley, arranging soldiers and horses to be tightly armed, and cautiously waiting for the enemy to come out.

Xiahou Yuan sneered and looked at Gu Nei, and said while looking: "According to the idea of those two barbarians in Gu Nei, if there is no accident, they will inevitably lead their troops to attack us tonight, hehe, so it's okay, but we don't need to find a way to attack it, and we don't have to wait for them, just wait quietly!" When the time comes, let them throw themselves into the trap, and when the time comes, I will capture Xu Chu alive! ”

Just when the generals of the Cao army and others were arranging, they suddenly heard a shout of killing in the rear, and the camp in the rear of the Cao army seemed to be attacked by the enemy.

Xiahou Yuan heard another sound behind him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him in confusion, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

After a while, I saw a scout running towards Xiahou Yuan in a hurry, and arched his hand at Xiahou Yuan: "General Miaocai, it's not good, Huang Zhong of the Jinling Army has killed people!" ”

"Huang Zhong?" Xiahou Yuan frowned: "Is that the old man under the command of the potter?" ”

"Exactly!"

Yan Xing said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that Xu Chu and Ma Chao are the vanguard of the front?" How could another army run out? ”

Xiahou Yuan babbled fiercely: "Whatever! The last time Huang Zhong fought against him, he made Ben lose a lot of face, and this time he had to find the general back from him! ”
