"Then why did you entertain them so properly a few days ago?"

Hearing that, Zixuan laughed so hard that she almost stopped breathing, and she continued: "I did it because I want to catch some big fish. Gao Yang loves ease and hates work, and he bought his position. How can he keep such a heavy responsibility."

Moreover, he has a good relationship with the prefecture chiefs of the armory, Red Beard, and Green Forest. They are all people who worship the golden calf, and thus we can obtain these four cities of Ba Cheng, armory, Red Beard, Green Forest without spending a single soldier. Then why not?

In my life, I also hate people who talk down before a battle. Why would I want to use them so heavily? Now, calm down and listen to Ma Dai's good news. "

Zixuan brought Ma Chao a cup of tea, and the two sat down patiently. Zixuan played with the guqin by the side, and in less than an hour, Ma Dai returned and said: "Advisor, it's bad, those prefecture chief s died."

After hearing that, the zither string broke. Zixuan forced himself to shed tears, he could not even stand properly, and ran over to their corpses and cried: "Gao Yang, what happened to you guys? It's all my fault. I didn't discover your illness earlier. "

After experiencing all that pain, he had buried them deeply, and the soldiers had all advised Zixuan to hold a funeral, Zixuan's acting skills could be used to fake the truth.

The current Zixuan could also do it, he didn't know when it started, but he could already start to play with ease.

Ten days later, the troops would go attack Luo City and the army would arrive below Luo City. The one leading them would be Feng Yi, and Feng Yi would provoke them by saying, "The thief has brought Zhao Hongying here, come forward, I have something to say to you." Ma Chao held onto Zixuan, and said: "Zixuan, don't go.

But Zixuan did not think so, "It's fine, it's fine, let's see what he's up to." The two of them came to the front of the army, and Feng Yi said disdainfully: "I heard that it is an extremely good battle formation, but whether or not you can break through my 'Suicide Formation', is that right?"

Zixuan never placed him in his eyes, and said haughtily: "Go ahead, before you set up the array, my army will not rashly attack."

"Alright."

The death array's name was quite frightening, but he didn't know if it was just a facade. Did they want all their lives to end here? Ridiculous, he was boasting shamelessly.

The two of them returned back into the army. Ma Chao asked curiously, "Zixuan, what did you say?" Zixuan kept looking at the enemy, "He said that he wanted me to break the array, how hard would that be?" Break the formation? Ma Chao had fought in wars for so many years yet he had not fought in one. Today, he decided to take a look at this new matter.

Hearing Feng Yi's order, the soldiers under him started to run. There were six gates in total, and each division had three groups of soldiers running through them.

In the middle, there was a Tai Chi Circle surrounding them. Zixuan laughed coldly, "It seems like Brother Feng Yi also knows about the Wonder Gate of Escape Armor." Ma Chao asked in concern: "Zixuan, is there any way to break this formation?"

Zixuan said proudly: "I can break it if I can." Zixuan patiently explained, "Mengqi, look at the array formation.

The 'Door of Kun', 'Gen', 'Xunmen', 'Gan', 'Ying', and 'Zhen' gates, representing the earth, mountain, wind, sky, swamp, and thunder respectively.

However, from what I see, he seems to have set up the wrong place. He should have knocked a hundred people and sent fifty people to guard the place.

When Ma Chao heard that Zixuan wanted to go personally, he immediately stopped him: "Zixuan, you're a scholar, how can you go? Is there no one left in our army? " Zixuan turned around and told Ma Dai, "Ma Dai, leave behind the third (third of ten percent) soldier, stay where you are and shoot.

"Zixuan, I will be the vanguard." Ma Chao was still fighting for it, it seemed like provocation was still the most useful, and the choice was not as good as provocation, he was right, "Alright, Mengqi, you have to be careful." Zixuan was still a little worried. After all, Ma Chao was the only general under his command.

Ma Chao acted as the vanguard and first killed the guards, a few of the more powerful warriors followed closely behind, a group of people majestically fought their way in through the 'Gen' door, and after sparing one round, Ma Chao chopped the leader down from his horse and charged out of the 'shock' door, the enemy had indeed turned into a pile of scattered sand.

Ma Dai and Ma Chao immediately withdrew from the formation. Ma Dai and his men began to shoot arrows at the general, Feng Yi died in battle, and in four hours' time, he had captured Luo City. They then attacked the cities of Oak Sun and Shuofang, gradually closing in on the Xu Chang, the base camp of Cao Cao.

Liu Bei also received the news that Ma Chao had rebelled, he remained calm and collected, but Liu Bei was flustered and exasperated, "Advisor, Ma Chao has left, I have lost a general, and there are still thousands of soldiers and horses, what should I do now?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Be patient, they will return." — Zixuan, are you finally leaving? Are you in such a hurry to take revenge? At this point, the generals under Cao Cao's command could no longer hold it in. "Prime Minister, this lowly general is willing to lead the army to attack Ma Chao." This lowly general is willing to go. "

Cao Cao Cao was calm and collected in the main hall, and said: "Ma Chao's courage is even greater than Lv Bu's. Lv Bu has Chen Gong as his assistant, then who will help Ma Chao?" Cheng Yu replied: "I don't know, I said it's called Zixuan something."

"Oh?"

"Zhao Hongying, who is it?"

A martial general explained: "I heard that a few years ago, I was an official at Sun Quan's place, and after that, I followed Liu Bei. For some reason, I ran out." Zixuan? "Looks like his talent is not below the Chen Palace's."

If it can be used for himself, then Ma Chao will follow along. " Cheng Yu blocked him: "Prime Minister, you absolutely cannot." There's no need to say more, just like that. "

Cao Cao Cao released fifty thousand soldiers to attack Ma Chao, and sent Cao Ren as the general, with Xu Huang as the deputy general, and Cao Ren burning Ma Chao's food supplies. Cao Cao Cao Cao's troops were numerous, Ma Chao was besieged, and three days later, Ma Chao and Cao Jun were battling, with too many Cao soldiers, Ma Chao and Zixuan had to rush to the mountain, they did not go down the mountain, but Cao Jun did not dare to go up, as the two armies were deadlocked in battle.

It was winter, and the frozen mist was covering the sky. Cao Ren did not dare to set fire to the mountain, but it was still too cold to light a fire even if he wanted to.

It was beautiful, but Ma Chao could not stay any longer. He lost his patience and became disheartened. He shouted towards the sky, "The heavens are going to kill me!" Zixuan walked over and comforted him: "Mengqi, we have not lost. As long as we are not dead, we have not lost."

Ma Chao held his hand tightly, giving him confidence. "Mengqi, it's okay, we won't die here."

However, Ma Chao did not believe it. He frowned and said: "Even if they do not attack us, if we don't freeze to death, we will starve to death. If we don't starve to death, we will starve to death.

Zixuan slowed down his tone and said: "With me here, I still have plans, you have to trust me." Ma Chao solemnly nodded and replied: "En."

Zixuan said: "I have heard that ants live in caves and know how to swim. When people see an ant leech being dug, they will feel warm and live in the sun; when summer comes, they will live in the shade of the mountain. It is winter now, and they will live in the sun of the mountain.

After the three armies drank the water, it became much quieter. Zixuan then continued: "In a while, Cao Jun will definitely start a fire and cook. When we see the smoke, we will attack the mountain and then the army will flee to the south to return to the Luo Yi Village. That is the territory of the Emperor's Uncle Liu, he should be taking us in."

After he finished speaking, Zixuan powerlessly sat on the ground and leaned against the side of the tree to rest. For the past few days, he had not even been able to rest properly, and was already completely exhausted. Zixuan whispered a few words into Ma Dai's ears, "Ma Dai, you will protect Mengqi and go first."

Ma Dai turned around and asked: "Zixuan, what about you?" Zixuan looked at the sky and replied: "I, I will leave last, they are all my brothers, I cannot give up on one. Ma Dai listened, no matter what, I have to bring Ma Chao to Emperor's Uncle Liu and tie him up." Ma Dai's eyes showed some gratitude, "Alright, I will."

Zixuan laughed and closed his eyes, Cao Cao Cao Cao had done all of this for the sake of capturing Zixuan alone, and conveniently taking care of Ma Chao along the way. Cao Cao Cao Cao begged for mercy because everyone knew, only when Zixuan left Cao Ren's side would they be able to split up and chase him, so that Ma Chao would have the chance to escape, and only then would Zixuan have the chance to see Cao Cao Cao, to take revenge.

After a while, someone shouted, "Quick, look and smoke!" Zixuan suddenly opened his eyes. It was indeed smoke, and there were many of them, so they must be cooking. When the time came, Ma Chao said to Ma Dai in a soft voice, "Ma Dai, you have to take care of Zixuan. Ma Dai was in a dilemma on both sides, he did not know what to do.

Zixuan looked at him and nodded his head. Ma Dai had no choice but to protect Ma Chao, the soldiers all mounted their horses and rushed down the mountain, Ma Chao alone wielded his treasure sword, at the location of his sword light, fresh blood flew everywhere, Zixuan brought 500 soldiers to break out from the north side, but the army was in ruins, and Cao Ren did indeed split up and chase after them.

Cao Ren led his underlings and chased after Zixuan, ordering them to follow him. Xu Huang chased after Ma Chao and Ma Dai, Cao Ren waved his blade and slashed, Zixuan did not have that much strength to resist, being pushed down from the horse, being captured by Cao Ren alive.

It was actually Kongming who sent reinforcements over. He sent Zhao Zilong, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and the rest over to rescue Ma Chao, Ma Dai and the rest, but they were unable to find Zixuan.

Ma Chao settled down and asked Ma Dai: "Where's the advisor?" Ma Dai stammered: "I don't know."

Ma Chao said angrily: Didn't I ask you to protect the Military Advisor? "Where is he now?" Ma Dai explained: "The Military Advisor asked me to protect you, I had no choice." Ma Chao gave Ma Dai a slap, causing him to be stunned, "Brother, you've never hit me before ah."

Ma Chao explained in anger, "We all swear to save our lives in the same place, and die here in the same place. Even if we were to escape by luck, how can we face others?" With that, he left.

How would they know that Zixuan had already been taken away by Cao Ren who was sent by Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Zixuan was shot in the shoulder.

Cao Ren had long been disheveled, even Cao Ren did not allow the doctors to treat him. It was about three days' journey from Luo City to Xu Chang, and they were on fast horses. They would arrive in two days at the fastest time, so Cao Ren was afraid that Zixuan would starve to death.

It wasn't easy to capture them, if they starved to death and wasted their energy, they would have to take food to look at Zixuan. Then, they would give the food to Zixuan and say: "Here, quickly eat it."

Zixuan turned his head, ignoring Cao Ren, and said word by word: "The poor do not eat free food." Cao Ren laughed, it was unknown if he was laughing at Zixuan's stupidity or Zixuan's stubbornness.</blockquote>
