Cao Mao put away the smelting technique and walked out of the camp slowly.

Zhou Cang, Yanyun Shibaqi, and the Mi family brothers had finished washing and were waiting.

And Ma Chao who was chained.Seeing Cao Mao coming out of Ma Yunlu's tent, his eyes were naturally breathing fire.

Excitedly, he was about to rush towards Cao Mao, and the iron chains on his body were also shaken so that it rattled.

Cao Mao glanced at him, but smiled disapprovingly,

"Ma'er, don't get excited. Lingmei is already my man, and you are my uncle. If you are willing to surrender me, I will no longer treat you like a slave."

"I want me to surrender to you, daydreaming! I can't wait to eat your flesh!"

Ma Chao said angrily.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing you can do."

Cao Mao shrugged.

Everyone packed their bags and got ready to go.

Ma Yunlu was also fully dressed and came out of the tent.

But she didn't know how to face her brother Ma Chao, so she had to lower her head and follow behind Cao Mao.

Everyone embarked on the journey again.

As usual, Cao Mao and Ma Yunlu rode on the golden lin.

The rest followed.

Although Ma Chao also has a mount, he is an out-and-out ragged horse.

Zhou Cang and the others handed over all sundries such as tents and water bags to him to take care of them, and he almost fainted from anger!

Ma Chao originally wanted to throw away all those things, but when he saw the whip in Zhou Cang's hand.

In the end, he dismissed the idea and could only follow the back of the team.

But as he was walking, Ma Chao suddenly felt something was wrong.

The direction they walked was not heading east, but going north!

Sili Prefecture is narrow from north to south, but it is more than a thousand miles from the easternmost side to the westernmost side.

According to common sense, after Cao Mao left Chang'an, he would naturally go all the way east and return to Hanoi County.

However, at this moment, their group is heading north!

The north of Sili Prefecture is Hedong County.

Could it be that Cao Mao planned to escape from Hedong County and the territory of the Huns?

Ma Chao thought to himself.

This is also the best policy.

After all, if you keep going east, you will be overtaken by the Xiliang army sooner or later!

It's just that Cao Mao is too naive!
Doesn't he know that Xiliang has a good relationship with the Xiongnu?
A sneer appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth.

And at the same time.

The two knights who followed the group from a distance naturally noticed that Cao Mao and the others had changed direction.

One of them continued to follow and monitor, while the other turned his horse's head and galloped all the way!
……

Xiliang Barracks.

The camp was busy, and the soldiers were packing their bags, preparing to continue chasing Cao Mao.

"Report!"

The knight who came back to report the news got off his horse and quickly entered the camp of the Chinese army.
"My lord, General An Qiang! Cao Mao and his party head north!"

"Ok?"

Ma Teng frowned, looking at the map in front of him,
"Are they planning to go to Hedong County?"

"I think it's quite possible."

Han Sui analyzed calmly,

"Cao Mao naturally knows that if he goes all the way east, let alone being overtaken by us, he will not be able to pass through Tongguan alone."

"However, if we detour through Hedong County and pass through the territory of the Xiongnu, there may be a glimmer of life."

Ma Teng couldn't help but sneered,
"Although this son is smart, they don't know that we have been friends with the Xiongnu for generations. After Huchuquan died in Hanoi County, he went to Beibei to ascend to the position of Chanyu, and we even sent congratulatory gifts."

"I'll write a letter to Qu Bei, asking him to help send troops to stop it."

"This time, Cao Mao must be captured!"

Han Sui nodded heavily.

……

A letter from Ma Teng was handed over to the envoys, ordering them to hurry up and send it to the court of the Huns.

Then, together with Han Sui, he led the army to set off, and quickly pursued Cao Mao and his party in the direction they left!

Just like this, you chased after me. Two days later, Ma Teng and others finally caught up with Cao Mao and his party outside Xie County, Hedong County!

Ma Chao turned his head to look.

I saw the dust flying in the distance, covering the sky and the sun, and the mighty cavalry was sweeping towards this side!

On the flag flying high, there is a "horse" character embroidered with teeth and claws!

It is the Xiliang iron cavalry!

Ma Chao couldn't help showing ecstasy, and proudly shouted at Cao Mao,

"Cao Mao! My father has led an army to chase after him. If you are sensible, you should give up resistance early!"

But to his surprise, Cao Mao just glanced at him without panic.

Instead, he continued to gallop on his horse and headed east!

But anyone with some military knowledge could tell that Cao Mao and his party couldn't escape under the pursuit of the Xiliang iron cavalry.

But Cao Mao still did not give up resistance.

This made Ma Chao feel a little worried.

Could it be that this kid has another backhand?

impossible!
His army is still far away in Hanoi County, and it will take a day at the earliest to arrive.

When Ma Chao was worrying about gains and losses, suddenly iron hooves rolled in front of him, and a large number of cavalry appeared!

He was startled at first, but when he looked carefully, he found that the clothes of the cavalry on the opposite side were completely different from those of the Han people.

Huns!
It must have been my father who sent a letter asking for help from the Xiongnu Shanyu, who sent someone to intercept Cao Mao!
Even if Cao Mao's army arrives now, with my Xiliang iron cavalry and the Hun army, we can defeat them!

Humph.

Cao Mao, let's see what you do!
Ma Chao's heart suddenly fell to the ground, he couldn't help smiling, and looked towards Cao Mao who was at the front of the line.

However, at this look, the smile on his face froze on the spot.

Instead of panicking, Cao Mao showed a relieved expression and rushed towards the Huns cavalry!

This scene was also caught by Ma Teng and Han Sui behind.

Both of them were equally puzzled.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back.

Cao Mao did not flee to the left and right, but rushed towards the Huns. Why?
The questions in their hearts were answered after a while.

I saw the army of the Huns split a road in the middle, allowing Cao Mao and his party to rush over.

Before the Xiliang army could react, the Xiongnu cavalry waved their weapons and killed them!
Earlier, Ma Teng and Han Sui had issued an order, saying that they had asked the Huns for help to intercept Cao Mao together.

Therefore, everyone in the army thought that the appearance of the Huns this time was for Yuan Jun.

When the Xiongnu cavalry stabbed fiercely into the Xiliang army like a sharp knife, both Ma Teng and Han Sui were caught off guard.

On the other side, Cao Mao and his party had passed through the Huns' army and came to a safe rear.

They stopped their mounts and turned to look at the battlefield behind them.

"This...how is this possible?"

Ma Chao stared blankly at the Xiliang army being attacked by the Huns, opened his mouth in surprise, his face was full of horror!

Even if he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why the Huns would help Cao Mao intercept the Xiliang army!

"How is this impossible?"

Cao Mao rode forward and said with a light smile,

"Ma'er, maybe you don't know yet, it's not the Xiongnu Shanyu who went to Bei now, it's Liu Bao who replaced him."

"And it was me who supported Liu Bao to Shan Yu's seat!"
