The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 21 Going to Wudu
Go to Wudu
In the Ziwu Valley; after walking deep into the Ziwu Valley for two days, I also realized the hardship and will of Han Xin leading tens of thousands of soldiers through the Ziwu Valley. Reported by Zhuge Qiao
"You lead the way, let's go and see together"

Looking closer, it is indeed a good natural place to garrison troops. It can prevent people in the valley from discovering it, and the terrain is flat, and it can also be used for military training. “Everyone will live here from now on”

So the big guy started tidying up the place; within two hours, a few military tents were raised, and all the stones and trees that obstructed people around them were eradicated. It was a small military camp, but it still lacked defensive measures. It's just that there is no need to defend against anything here; if there is something really attacking them, it can only be a wealthy wolf, tiger or leopard, and they will just give themselves extra meals.

"Lan Tian, ​​take a few people to the mountain to see if there is any game, and come to satisfy the big guy's gluttony," Zhuge Qiao teased Qin Shan.

"Go here, as long as there is one! He will definitely not escape my palm." Qin Shan was full of confidence
The sky gradually darkened, Zhuge Qiao saw that Qin Shan and the others hadn't come back, so he was in a hurry to play, and was about to go up the mountain to find their traces, and was about to go up the mountain; suddenly a few figures appeared on the mountain, if it wasn't for Qin Shan, they would still be there who.

"Tun chief, look what this is." Qin Shan pointed at the thing they just dropped

Because the sky was too dark and the light of the torch was not enough; Zhuge Qiao approached and found that it was a big wild boar. "How did you catch it? It's so fierce." Zhuge Qiao said in surprise
"Chief Tuen, you underestimate us, can it run as fast as Qin Lantian?" Qin Shan boasted to himself; unfortunately, his teammates couldn't stand it any longer. "Chief Tuen, he lied to you, the wild boar is us We caught it together after besieging it together," the man said with a smile; Qin Shan was thrown off when he heard that he was low, "I just said, it doesn't run as fast as 'us', don't get me wrong," a burst of hasty explanation.

"Why are you talking so much, peel off the skin and put it on the barbecue, and have a full meal tonight to comfort your body." Zhuge Qiao prepared to pick up the skin without saying a word.

After eating delicious wild boar at night, everyone went to sleep in the tent, and only three people were outside the police circle, just in case.At this time, Zhuge Qiao was still thinking about other things and couldn’t fall asleep. Ma Chao, Ma Chao, why don’t everyone dare to use you? In the end, you died so early that you didn’t have time to avenge your revenge; since God let me come , I will change this fact. If you want to unify Guanzhong, you must also take down Xiliang. It is not easy to take down Xiliang without Ma Chao, and the national power of Shuzhong cannot be exhausted. I will meet Ma Chao in a few days' Thinking about it, Zhuge Qiao also fell into a dream.

In Zhuge Qiao's camp, "Our main task here is to understand the terrain here. The most important thing is to know Cao Jun's garrison at Ziwuguan, how often they report to Yongzhou, and how often their luggage is transported. We must understand clearly, but remember not to let Cao Bing discover our whereabouts; and the necessary training still cannot be stopped, especially the familiarity with daggers" Zhuge Qiao said; and there are only five people in this camp, Chen Qi, Liu Yu, and Fu Qian , Qin Shan and Zhuge Qiao.

"Tun Chief, do you mean that you have to go somewhere else?" Qin Shan understood what Zhuge Qiao meant.

"Indeed, I will go back to Wudu in three days,"

"To do that, you need many people to be with you"

"It may take a month to meet someone. We will return to Chengdu after I come back, so during this period, you must complete the tasks I said; I only plan to take one person with me this time."

"The head of the village knows it's Lan Yu, so don't hesitate." Liu Yu also guessed Zhuge Qiao's psychology

"Siyou (Note: Siyou is Liu Yu's word but I didn't mention it before) you guessed wrong this time, this time without sapphire he has to teach you how to live in the mountains. Sapphire has been living in the mountains before "Speaking, Zhuge Qiao also stared at Qin Shan's eyes.

"Who could it be?" Liu Yu asked, and the other three also looked at Zhuge Qiao with their eyes wide open.

"It's Ma Jing from the first team. I have observed him and found that he can also take on great responsibilities in the future and is very loyal."

"It's actually from our team. That kid has only been in the army for two years. He is usually the most loyal and powerful. To be honest, I may not be his opponent in the marksmanship competition with him. I wanted to promote him but he is only 19 years old. I couldn't convince the crowd, so I delayed it." When Chen Qi heard that it was Ma Jing, he was immediately surprised.

"Yonghong (Note: Yonghong is Chen Qi's character), don't blame yourself. If you really have the ability to make meritorious service on the battlefield in the future, are you afraid that you will not have an official position?"

Three days later, with Ma Jing, Zhuge Qiao started on the road again.When Ma Jing was told that he was going to Wudu with Zhuge Qiao, he didn't even realize that it was a group of people, and he was just one of them; but when he was told that there was no one else but him, he was stunned, and he didn't know why he was the only one with him. Alone, and the relationship with the head of the village is only a subordinate relationship, but thinking about it, I was still a little excited, so I started the trip with Zhuge Qiao.

On the way, Ma Jing couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Tun, why did you choose me instead of others?"

"Because you are not an ordinary person, you have discovered it yourself," Zhuge Qiao responded with a smile
"I don't have an official position, I'm just an ordinary soldier, just like everyone else"

"Didn't you yourself discover your characteristics about the Second General?"

"Tun chief, don't be joking, the Second General Guan is not something anyone can compare to, let alone me as a pawn." Although Ma Jing said so on his lips, he was extremely grateful in his heart.

"I heard from people in your team that when they were chased by enemy cavalry outside Xiangyang City, you were the ones who tried your best to save them. This is 'righteousness'; General Guan Er is known for his loyalty, so you all A person who values ​​righteousness; I need someone like you to be my guard when I go to Wudu."

"I am not as great as the chief said, but I am very happy to be the guard of the chief"

Seeing Ma Jing, Zhuge Qiao was relieved, "Actually, I really have something to ask you."

"Tun Chief, don't tease me, how can I help you?" Ma Jing looked at Zhuge Qiao and his heart began to shudder.

"A task that only you can complete." Zhuge Qiao stared at Ma Jing with serious eyes.
"Tun Chief, tell me, as long as I, Ma Jing, can do it, I will go through fire and water."

"Do you know Ma Chao?"

"General Pingxi and Ma Chao are well-known. I admire General Ma the most."

"Do you know that he has no heirs now, so I think you can recognize Ma Chao as your adoptive father, so that General Ma will have successors?" Zhuge Qiao spit out his thoughts in one breath, leaving only that face Incredible horse views.

"If the head of the village is not kidding, and if General Ma agrees, Ma Jing is very happy to be General Ma Chao's adoptive son." Ma Jing did not refuse to agree first like many people did, but agreed very readily.

"It's true, I believe Ma Chao will agree, but do you know why I sent you there?"

"Subordinates don't know"

"The King of Hanzhong hasn't appointed General Ma for a long time, and although General Ma has been named General Pingxi and is a general of the Five Tigers, he has no real power in his hands. He only has a few thousand Xiliang iron cavalry left in his hands. You We can see why the King of Hanzhong treated General Ma like this.”

"I've also heard people talk about it, but I really don't know the reason for it."

"This is because the King of Hanzhong is not at ease with him. After all, he was also a prince back then. Cao Cao cut off his beard and abandoned his robe after killing Cao Cao on the Tongguan battlefield, and later surrendered to the Queen of Hanzhong. The Queen of Hanzhong disrespected the King of Hanzhong. And he doesn't have any friends to talk to him, so Ma Chao is alone now, so I sent you; one is to be able to inherit the heir of General Ma in the future, and the other is to pay attention to him, so as to prevent him from rebelling after sending troops to the Northern Expedition in the future."

"Subordinates keep in mind"

"That's right, let's go." Zhuge Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. If there were no emergencies, Ma Chao probably wouldn't refuse. After all, his identity is there, and Zhuge Qiao confessed some things along the way.

After more than ten days of rushing, Zhuge Qiao finally came to the city of Wudu, "Go into the city, and meet that mighty Ma Chao." Zhuge Qiao looked at the word 'Wudu' on the city gate.
