Ma Chao said: "I want to fight back to take back Jigu immediately when the enemy's foothold is not stable!" When everyone heard this, they were moved. Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Yunlu and others all came out to fight. Ma Dai even said that if they could not take back Jigu, they would be willing to apologize for their death.

Xu Shu hurriedly said to Ma Chao: "General, don't be impulsive! The situation of the enemy is unclear at the moment, and the most urgent thing is to figure out the enemy's situation! Liu Bei's main force should have been to attack Chang'an, but Jigu was attacked by Liu Bei's army, which shows that we are very likely to have fallen into the opponent's trick! This is a plan to attack the east and west! Liu Bei's army, on the surface, gathered towards Chencang, but in fact, concentrated its main force around Hanzhong, with the purpose of seizing Hanzhong! Now the specific scale of the enemy's army, the tactics used, and the direction of the troops sent are unclear! It is really not a wise move to attack rashly at this time!"

Ma Chao frowned and said, "What the military advisor said makes sense. But I can't let Jigu fall into the hands of the enemy. This is too unfavorable for our army to defend Hanzhong!" Seeing that Xu Shu still wanted to persuade him, he immediately said, "Military advisor, don't say anything more! I have decided!" Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn't say anything else, and at the same time, he felt that what he had never seen after attacking was a bad thing.

At this moment, an officer rushed in and reported: "Report to General, Military Advisor, Lord Xue Ding is back!" Everyone was surprised, and Ma Dai was even more surprised.

I saw a figure shaking at the door, and a middle-aged man with blood stains, ragged clothes, and a rather embarrassed appearance quickly walked in. It was Xue Ding, the chief of Hanzhong.

When Xue Ding saw Ma Chao and Xu Shu, he was extremely excited and quickly stepped forward and said, "General! Military advisor!" Ma Chao immediately stepped forward to help Xue Ding up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's good to come back! It's good to come back!" Ma Dai said excitedly, "I thought Lord Changshi died in the chaos, and I felt extremely guilty! I didn't expect you to be safe and sound, it's great!" Xue Ding looked lingering in fear, sighed, and said sadly: "Although the subordinate escaped by luck, his subordinates only came back a few people!" Ma Chao patted Xue Ding's shoulder to show comfort.

Xu Shu looked at Xue Ding and asked, "How did Xue Changshi escape from this chaotic army?" Everyone else looked at Xue Ding with curiosity.

Xue Ding said intimately that he was coming, but his expression was still on his face, and he said with gratitude: "That's God's blessing!" Then he looked at Ma Dai and said with shame: "At that time, all the enemy troops were attracted to the big tent. The lower officials were able to escape from the camp. The lower officials did not dare to walk on the official road, but only took remote paths to escape. He was confused along the way and could hardly tell the east, west, south and north. Fortunately, he didn't lose his direction and finally returned to Hanzhong." When everyone heard his description, they felt that it was really difficult for him to escape all the way! It was really difficult for him to be a civil official!

Ma Chao asked, "Do you know the size of the enemy? How many soldiers are there? Who is the leading general?" Ma Chao decided to counterattack Jigu, so he asked this question.

When Xue Ding heard Ma Chao's question, he couldn't help but feel that everything was within his expectations. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Report to the general, the enemy's army is about 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and the leading general is Guan Yu!" Ma Chao's eyes lit up when he heard Guan Yu's name. Ma Dai said to Ma Chao excitedly: "Brother, if the enemy has only 30,000 troops, our army will definitely be able to retake Jigu in one fell swoop!" Ma Chao nodded, and then said to Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu: "Ma Dai, Yunlu, you two lead 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, attack first, and I will lead the brigade to arrive later!" Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu clasped their fists and agreed and quickly walked out of the hall.

Ma Chao said to Xu Shu: "Sir, please sit in the city!" Xu Shu nodded, clasped his fists and said, "General, be careful." Then he said, "General, wait a moment." As he said, he quickly walked to the back of the desk, picked up the pen and wrote a bamboo slip. After checking it, he immediately rolled up the bamboo slips and stood up, returned to Ma Chao. He handed the bamboo slips to Ma Chao and reminded him: "This is my suggestion. General can take a look on the road." Ma Chao took the bamboo slips and nodded. Xue Ding, who was standing not far away, wanted to know what Xu Shu had written in the bamboo slips, but at this moment he was not easy to ask. Seeing Ma Chao greeted Ma Xiu, he turned around and walked out of the hall quickly.

Xu Shu called the office clerk of the office and ordered, "He has worked hard all the way, you can take him down to serve him well." The two office clerks responded, and Xue Ding bowed to Xu Shu, "Thank you for your care!" Xu Shu smiled and said, "He was frightened. Let's take a good rest first." Xue Ding thanked again, and then went down with the two office clerks.

Xu Shu watched Xue Ding leave, withdrew his gaze and gave Ma Tie a careful order. Ma Tie showed surprise, then he clasped his fists and agreed and walked quickly.

The north city gate opened, Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu first led 10,000 cavalry out of the city to drive straight to Jigu. Soon after, Ma Chao led 40,000 infantry and cavalry out of the city like a flood that opened the gate. Thinking of the bamboo slips given by Xu Shu just now, he put the dragon cavalry rifle in his hand on the ring of affairs, took out the roll of bamboo slips from the saddle bag. He opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but laugh. Ma Xiu, who was following the side of the horse, couldn't help but ask, "Why are you laughing at?" Ma Chao rolled up the bamboo slips and threw them back to the saddle bag, and smiled, "I laughed at Xu Yuanzhi, you are really cautious!" After a pause, he said, "But what he said is not without reason." Then he said to Ma Xiu, "Ma Xiu, I will leave this matter to you." Ma Xiu clasped his fists and said, "Brother, just give orders!"

Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai led 10,000 cavalry to enter not far outside Jigu in the afternoon. The Qin army cavalry that originally floated over Jigu had been replaced by the big banner of "Liu". Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai couldn't help but feel anger in their hearts. The two led their troops to stop in front of Jigu. Ma Dai made a horse and shouted loudly: "Guan Ping, your grandfather Ma is back! Come out and die quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the camp gate opened. Guan Ping rushes out of the camp with a sword, looking majestic. Guan Ping trampled his horse until Ma Dai not far ahead of him, and Hengdao immediately mocked: "Isn't this the remains of the knife last night? Why didn't I cut him to death last night? I can't wait to die today!"

Ma Dai was furious, raised his spear and pointed it at Guan Ping, scolding: "Despicable and shameless person! Last night, you just relied on despicable sneak attacks to get the advantage! If there were fair matchups, how could you get it well! Today, Grandpa will cut off your dog's head and let you go until you are powerful!"

Seeing that he claimed to be his grandfather, Guan Ping couldn't help but get angry. He waved his sword with his right hand and shouted: "What a big tone! Let's see who killed whom's head today!" Yu Luo suddenly urged the war horse to rush towards Ma Dai. Seeing this, Ma Dai immediately shouted and also urged the war horse to rush towards Guan Ping. At this moment, the war drums from both sides roared and the soldiers on both sides made huge shouts.

In the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected each other. Both sides raised their weapons and tried hard. Only a loud noise was heard! Then the two horses crossed over, and the two generals rushed out more than ten steps, turned their heads suddenly, and rushed towards the other party again, just like two violent beasts. The two generals collided together and fought in a ball. The two war horses were spinning in place. The two waving weapons to attack their opponents. The big sword and spear kept colliding in the air and making loud noises.

The loud noise shook the audience! In a blink of an eye, the two of them fought more than twenty moves, but they were not sure of the winner! At this time, their characteristics were all revealed. Ma Dai had a very fast attack speed, and the spear in his hand drew cold lights; Guan Ping, although his speed was not as fast as Ma Dai, was extremely powerful, and the sword was flying like a pound of pounds. Each knife was slashed as if it was the power of splitting mountains and splitting stones! These two men had their own long and equal battles, and no one could do anything to anyone!

Seeing that the two were fighting fiercely, Ma Yunlu couldn't help but itchy. However, it was a one-on-one duel, and she didn't want to win more. However, she didn't want to win more, but someone had such thoughts. The gate of the camp suddenly opened, and the tall Zhou Cang rushed out of the camp with a big knife and rushed towards Ma Dai who was fighting with Guan Ping, yelling loudly: "Ma Dai, come on your life!"

Ma Yunlu was furious and immediately rushed out and rushed towards Zhou Cang. The Xiliang Rouge Horse was extremely fast, and it appeared in front of Zhou Cang like a whirlwind! Zhou Cang was shocked and saw that the other party was just a woman. He immediately felt contemptuous. He shouted loudly and urged the horse to rush towards Ma Yunlu. He raised his sword high and roared repeatedly, looking fierce and fierce. Ma Yunlu sneered in his heart, and immediately controlled the horse with both legs and spears straight towards Zhou Cang!

Zhou Cang was about to slash Ma Yunlu, but he didn't know that a cold light flashed in front of him, and the opponent's spear had already stabbed in front of him! Zhou Cang was shocked and did not care about attacking his opponent. He hurriedly turned his head to avoid it. Almost at the same time, the opponent's spear stabbed towards his forehead. With a loud bang, he knocked his helmet away and landed in the distance!

The two horses crossed. Zhou Cangle turned his horse's head and looked at Ma Yunlu who turned his horse's head not far away. He was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party's only woman would be so powerful in martial arts! However, this thought flashed in his heart, and then a sense of shame and anger suddenly surged into his heart. Zhou Cang shouted loudly and urged the war horse to rush towards Ma Yunlu again. Ma Yunlu looked at Zhou Cang, who was roaring and rushing towards him, but immediately remained motionless.

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Cang rushed to Ma Yunlu, screamed strangely, and returned with both hands and slashed towards Ma Yunlu in front of his head! Just in the flash, Ma Yunlu suddenly raised his spear! The big sword slashed heavily on Ma Yunlu's gun bar! Zhou Cang's big sword stopped instantly, and Zhou Cang couldn't help but stared at Ma Yunlu in disbelief!

Ma Yunlu shouted suddenly and pushed his hands upwards! Zhou Cang suddenly felt a strong force coming, and his arms holding the big knife were swung upwards involuntarily! Before Zhou Cang could stabilize his arms, he saw a cold light flashing in front of him, and the other party's spear rushed straight towards him like a poisonous dragon!
