    Zhao Yun reined in his horse and turned around, his sword eyes shimmering, and he suddenly looked at Ma Chao on the city.  /The gazes of the two of them seemed to spark sparks in mid-air.  Zhao Yun then hung the gun on the saddle, took a five-stone bow, and took three carved feather arrows in his hand. He picked up the bow and loaded the arrow. The arrows shot like strings of beads and suddenly shot towards Ma Chao.  I saw three arrows shot out one after another, lined up in a line, and shot towards Ma Chao.  Zhao Yun's archery skills made all the barbarians in the city scream in surprise. Ma Chao's face turned cold, and he took out three arrows and fired them in rapid succession.  In the midst of lightning and flint, six arrows collided in mid-air.  After three loud noises, before the barbarian soldiers came to their senses, they saw Zhao Yun firing four arrows in a row. Each arrow was shot at a very short interval, looking at Ma Chao's body and shooting at different positions.  Ma Chao's lion face changed slightly. Seeing the four arrows being shot, Ma Chao suddenly retreated and struck the bow in succession, knocking down two arrows and avoiding two more. It was very dangerous.  Seeing this, the barbarian soldiers exclaimed in unison.  Ma Chao felt that he had lost face. He rushed to the top of the city angrily and aimed an arrow at Zhao Yun.  Unexpectedly, the big bow was damaged during the collision. As soon as Ma Chao pulled out the bow string, the big bow broke apart.  At this moment, Zhao Yun quickly drew an arrow and aimed at Ma Chao's head.  At the sound of the bow string, when Ma Chao opened his eyes anxiously to look, the arrow had already been shot. He was so frightened that Ma Chao lowered his head and hid. The arrow flew past and flew off the red tassel on Ma Chao's helmet.  The Northwest Army under the city cheered in unison.  All the barbarian soldiers in the city showed horror on their faces and were dumbfounded.  Ma Chao was startled. The secret passage was dangerous. When he suddenly came to his senses, he heard the sound of the bow strings. Ma Chao was so frightened that he ran away like a frightened bird.  Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun had no arrows at all, and the northwest army under the city laughed endlessly.  Ma Chao was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he shouted hysterically.

    "Zhao Zilong!!! Sooner or later, I will take your head!!!"

    Zhao Yun had a cold face, and there was no ripple in his calm and clear sword eyes. He glanced at Ma Chao lightly, then withdrew his troops.  Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun's eyes and felt that he didn't seem to take him seriously at all, and he roared angrily.

    At this time, most of the soldiers and horses in the northwest were waiting for the camp to slowly withdraw.  When Zhao Yun hurried back to the camp, it was already the first watch of the night and all the soldiers in the camp were making food.  Zhao Yun came to see Wenhan. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Wenhan discussing the war with a group of civil and military officials.  After Zhao Yun bowed, he walked to the left seat and listened attentively.

    "In today's battle, the barbarian army suffered a lot of casualties, more than half of them. If Ma Mengqi hadn't suddenly attacked, our army would have broken through Zitong City and captured the barbarian king Meng Huo. Huh! This big-eared thief has a good plan.  He sent troops repeatedly to assist the Southern Barbarians. He must have hoped that the Southern Barbarians could stop our army for him. When he could, he could stabilize the situation in Yizhou and wait for Zhuge Kongming to mobilize troops and horses from Jingzhou to recapture Zitong,  Second County of Brazil!¡±

    Wenhan's face was dark, and his whole body was filled with rage, like a volcano about to erupt.  Li You frowned deeply when he heard the words and said in attendance.

    "The big-eared thief is so evil, my lord must be on guard. We should quickly attack Zitong, and then make preparations quickly to block Zhuge Liang's Jingzhou troops in the near future. However, now Ma Mengqi has rushed to aid the barbarian army and wants to capture Zitong City.  It is not easy to break through, and if the barbarian reinforcements arrive and the troops are replenished, the war in Zitong City will definitely last for a long time!"

    Hearing this, Wenhan's face became darker, his eyes narrowed, and he asked in a solemn voice.  **

    "Does Zhongwen have a plan to solve the current emergency?"

    Li You pondered for a while, then walked towards the memorial table in front of Wen Han, looked at the map on the table, and then fell into deep thought.  Neither Wen Han nor the civil and military officials in the tent dared to disturb him.  After a while, Li You's eyes lit up, he pointed at a spot on the map and spoke to Wen Han.

    "On the way to Zitong from the southern barbarian realm, we must pass through the mountains and forests here. I have explored the terrain here the day before. The trees in this mountains and forests are mixed and overgrown with weeds. If we attack with fire, even a hundred thousand soldiers and horses will be killed."  , will be destroyed in one moment. Why don't you set up an ambush here, and when the reinforcements enter this dense forest, they will be burned to ashes!"

    When Wenhan heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and the corner of his mouth turned up into a smile.  But at this moment, Zhao Yun showed up and said.

    "If there was no Huang Gong in the barbarian army, this plan might be successful. This man has a very high strategy and is very familiar with the land of Xichuan. He saw through the previous military advisor's plan."

    Li You smiled calmly when he heard the words and said in a condensed voice.

    "General Zhao, don't worry too much. You have a plan to deal with this person. When the time comes, it will be like this. He will definitely fall into the trap!"

    Li You immediately came up with a plan. When Wen Han and Zhao Yun heard the plan, they both looked surprised and secretly praised it.

    It is said that in Zitong City, Meng Huo was hosting a banquet in honor of Ma Chao.  Meng Huo saw Ma Chao's bravery with his own eyes today, and he realized that the name of Xiliang Jin Ma Chao in the past was not an empty name.  Ma Chao only led thousands of cavalry, but he was able to charge through nearly ten thousand of the northwest army. He was like entering an uninhabited country, smashing through the central army, defeating Wei Yan, and going straight to the northwest rear. If Zhao Yun hadn't rushed back to help, Ma Chao would have defeated the rear.  It is not impossible to kill Wen Han in the formation.  Such a peerless warrior who can take the heads of enemy generals among thousands of armies.?How can anyone not respect him with all his heart?  What's more, barbarians have always respected the strong.  Meng Huo treated Ma Chao like a distinguished guest, profusely toasting and praising him.  All the barbarian generals also came to pay their respects, and their respect was unabashed.  Ma Chao felt that he was quite dignified, and he had a great impression of Meng Huo and other barbarians. He immediately raised his glass to all the barbarians who came and raised their glasses in return.  Huang Quan secretly saw this, frowned, and silently cast a look at Ma Chao, as if to indicate that the enemy was in front of him now, so he should not be drunk for fun.  Ma Chao saw this and was very unhappy.  However, he thought to himself that Huang Quan was highly relied upon by Liu Bei and he did not dare to make a mistake and talk to Meng Huo.

    "Although we have driven back the traitors from the northwest today, their army is so powerful that they will surely come back soon. Your Majesty, you should prepare for war quickly to ensure that Zitong is not lost."

    Hearing this, Meng Huo burst into laughter and raised his glass in toast.

    "Hahaha. Thanks to Uncle Liu's benevolence and righteousness, he sent a general to rescue him. The general is so brave and unparalleled in the world. From what I can see, he is even better than the former general Wang Lu Fengxian. There is a general sitting in Zitong.  , What should I worry about?"

    As soon as Meng Huo finished speaking, all the barbarian generals agreed.  Ma Chao was very happy when he heard this. He laughed happily and drank several glasses of wine. He felt very happy.  When Huang Quan saw this, he frowned and hurriedly attended.

    "If your Majesty is so indulgent and has no worries, Zitong will definitely be defeated by the northwest bandits in the near future!!"

    As soon as Huang Quan said this, the faces of everyone at the table suddenly changed.  Meng Huo was very unhappy, turned to look at Huang Quan, suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

    "Oh? How can Mr. Huang say this!?"

    Huang Quan bowed his hands, showed no emotion at Meng Huo's anger, and said in a solemn voice.

    "Although our army defeated the northwest traitors today, it suffered heavy casualties. Almost half of the six thousand soldiers were lost. Now, including the thousands of soldiers and horses led by General Ma, the strength is only more than 5,000. If the northwest traitors turn their backs,  What should we do if we come to attack?¡±

    Hearing this, Ma Chao waved his hand and shouted with enthusiasm.

    "It is said that when soldiers come, they will block the water and cover them with earth. If they dare to come, my general will go out to fight and kill them!"

    When Meng Huo heard this, he grinned and praised Ma Chao again.  Huang Quan listened, but still had the expressionless look on his face, and spoke slowly.

    "Forgive Huang for offending. Although General Ma has peerless military bravery, his army also has the victorious general Zhao Zilong. General Ma has fought dozens of times with him in recent years, large and small, but he has never gained the upper hand. If there is a mistake, then  What should it be?¡±

    "Huang! Gong! Heng! Are you saying that I am not Zhao Zilong's rival!?"

    Hearing this, Ma Chao became angry like an evil dragon whose scales had been touched. His eyes were red, his fingers were yellow, and he roared angrily.  Huang Quan showed no fear and stared at Ma Chao.  When Meng Huo saw this, he quickly persuaded the two of them to retreat, and then said to Huang Quan.

    "Huang Gong, don't worry too much. Although our army is weak now, we have Zitong City as a solid city to defend, and General Ma is in charge. No matter how powerful the bandits in the northwest are, it will be difficult to defeat Zitong within a few days.  In a few days, our army's reinforcements must have arrived at Zitong's realm, and by then the troops will be replenished, and Zitong will be safe!"

    After hearing this, Huang Quan pondered for a while, stopped persuading him any more, sighed and left.  Meng Huo then drank with Ma Chao and other soldiers and had fun until the third watch of the night before they dispersed.

    The next day, it was just past noon.  Zhao Yun led a group of soldiers and horses to the gate of Zitong City, set up their formation, beat drums, and shouted to Ma Chao.  After a while, Ma Chao led his troops out, and the two armies faced each other.  Neither of them answered, but their horses suddenly raised their guns and started fighting in front of the formation.  The two men fought for dozens of rounds, and the gunfire became faster and faster. The sergeants of both armies were stunned.  However, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao became more and more courageous as they fought, showing no sign of exhaustion and exhaustion, as if they had endless strength.  Bursts of gun collisions and loud noises continued, the shadows of the guns were like lightning, and the collisions continued.  Seeing that the two men were killing each other for dozens of rounds, Ma Chao suddenly made a false stab, knocked them out of position, feigned defeat and dragged away the gun.

    Zhao Yun saw through Ma Chao's plan, reined in the horse, hung a silver gentian spear on the saddle, loaded his bow with an arrow, and fired at Ma Chao's back.  The sound of the bowstring was loud. Ma Chao heard the sound and his face was startled. He turned around and stabbed out with a spear, hitting the cold arrow shot by Zhao Yun.  Zhao Yun then fired another arrow, and Ma Chao reined up his horse and rushed back into the formation.  In the formations of both armies, the trumpets of the troops were sounded, and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao gathered their troops and retreated.

    The war ended in one day.  On the day of arrival, Zhao Yun led his troops to raid and fight again. Ma Chao heard this and was eager to fight, so he ordered his troops and horses, rushed out of the city, and came to fight.  Zhao Yun and Ma Chao came out one after another, their two peerless spears clashing constantly, each fighting with all their strength, fighting for nearly 300 rounds from noon to night, and the sergeants of the two armies were also troubled to watch.  Ma Chao avoided Zhao Yun and stabbed him again, then angrily swept the gun away.  Zhao Yun drew his gun to block him, and Ma Chao took the opportunity to rein in his horse and retreat. The lion looked a little tired and shouted.

    "Zhao Zilong! Do you dare to fight me for three more rounds tomorrow!?"

     Zhao Yun's cold face also showed a bit of fatigue, and he replied coldly.

    "I'm afraid you won't dare to fight tomorrow!!"

    Hearing this, Ma Chao smiled coldly, then hurried back to the formation, collected his troops and returned.  When Meng Huo saw that Ma Chao was so brave and could kill as well as Zhao Yun, he admired him even more and held banquets in honor of him.  Ma Chao was so proud that he told Meng Huo and other barbarian generals that he would defeat Zhao Yun within three days.

    In the next two days, Zhao Yun came to the city to raid the city, and Ma Chao repeatedly accepted the challenge. The two fought hard for four or five days under Zitong City. When the barbarian army's attention was almost focused on the fierce battle between the two, Huang Quan  It was because he felt something was wrong. Every day after the fierce battle between the two of them, Huang Quan always had a frown on his face.  Meng You noticed secretly and came to see Huang Quan. Huang Quan led Meng You into the hall and finished the ceremony.  Meng You opened his mouth and asked.

    "When I saw Mr. Huang these days, I frowned deeply. Do you have any doubts?"

    Hearing this, Huang Quan couldn't help but feel a strange color in his originally unrippled eyes. He secretly sighed that Meng You had a unique vision and could observe every detail. He didn't hide anything at the moment and answered with his hands raised.

    "To be honest. I saw Zhao Zilong fighting with General Ma for days in a row. Other than that, the Northwest Army made no movement. This is really strange. Logically speaking, although the Northwest Army has the upper hand, it lacks food.
