Although Ma Su opened his eyes, he was still immersed in his dream.

I felt someone shaking me, and when I turned my head, I saw that it was my brother Ma Liang.

Ma Su was shocked and woke up immediately.

After returning to normal audio-visual, Ma Su heard the crowds of people outside, as if Shamoko was gathering his troops.

Ma Su thought it was already dawn, so he quickly got up.

When he put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, he found that the stars in the sky were shining, the moon was hanging high, and it was still the hazy midnight.

The guards resting in the big tent next to them have long been fully armed and waiting for Ma Su.

People in the camp neighed and shouted, and torches were everywhere.

Obviously something big happened, Ma Su turned his inquiry eyes to Ma Liang.

It turned out that Ma Su didn't fall asleep for long.

Ma Liang had just sorted out Ma Su's plan into a memorial, and before he could even hurry to go to bed and rest, major events happened one after another.

First, the scouts sent by Shamoko came back three consecutively and reported that Lu Xun's army was launching a large-scale deployment, and the troops were divided into three groups to leave the city.

Two of the routes, led by Han Dang and Lu Xun, were headed towards the direction of His Majesty's camp.

There were only one army and horse, led by Zhou Tai, with more than 30,000 people heading straight to our army camp.

When Ma Liang received the news, he discussed with Shamoko. Before he had time to arrange, the provocateur found that the fire was rising from the sky at the location of the Ma camp.

The fire at night was particularly eye-catching, causing quite a lot of noise, and Fu Tong and Zhao Rong were both alarmed.

The two generals came to Shamoko's tent at the same time and prepared to discuss solutions.

But the three of them have their own opinions on how to face the enemy and are unable to make up their minds for a while.

When Ma Liang saw that the matter was urgent, he didn't care much about it and asked Shamoke to continue discussing military affairs with Fu Tong and Zhao Rong in the big tent. He came to greet Ma Su and discuss matters together.

After listening to Ma Liang's introduction, Ma Su finally woke up from his confusion and followed Ma Liang into the tent.

Shamoke had reached an agreement with Fu Tong and Zhao Rong and prepared to divide the troops into two groups: heading to Liu Bei's central army tent to protect His Majesty's safety; staying to block Zhou Tai's army, defending the camp, and waiting for Liu Bei's military order to make the truth.

According to the number of troops, Fu Tong and Zhao naturally merged with each other, and Shamoke formed his own way.

However, it is difficult to decide who stays to defend the camp and fight Zhou Tai.

After all, Shamoke has not been surrendering to Liu Bei for a long time, and his intentions are unpredictable. Fu Tong believes that he cannot return to help Liu Bei, so as not to cause variables.

Fu Tong wanted Shamoko to stay and block Zhou Tai, but because the remaining people were facing a dangerous situation of having fewer enemies, Shamoko was afraid that Shamoko would not want to do so.

Fu Tong was afraid that Shamoko would retreat without fighting because she was dissatisfied.

In this way, Zhou Tai could easily detour Liu Bei's rear, with serious consequences.

What's more serious is that Shamoko led his troops to surrender to the Jiangdong Army and acted as the leader.

Although Shamoke did not understand Fu Tong's idea and was loyal to Liu Bei, he also wanted to preserve his strength and naturally would not take the initiative to leave behind the rear.

The three of them stopped discussing very tacitly and waited for Ma Liang to come.

After Ma Liang and Ma Su came in, Shamoke, as the master, took the initiative to introduce the results of the discussion between the three.

The matter was already very urgent, and Ma Liang didn't want to argue anymore, so he said to Fu Tong:

"General Fu, now the fire in the Ma camp is in full swing. Although I don't know how much the loss is, it is definitely impossible for cavalry to rush to aid. Only by gathering troops can you protect yourself. Your Majesty's safety is the first priority. Your decision is correct. You and General Zhao lead the army to meet with Your Majesty. General Shamoke and I stayed to block Zhou Tai. Don't hesitate. You should quickly reorganize the army and set off!"

Ma Liang was the position of the Shizhong, and he had the function of "secrets of internal affairs and issued an imperial edict", and his position was above Fu Tong and others. Naturally, they had no objection and went back to reorganize the army and headed towards Liu Bei's military camp.

Although Ma Liang took the initiative to stay, it was to take the overall situation into consideration. Shamoko did not object, because he trusted the Ma brothers, but he had a very clear understanding of the current dangerous situation, and it was not that he was willing to act as cannon fodder.

Therefore, as soon as Fu Tong and Zhao Rong came out of the big tent, Shamoke couldn't wait to ask:

"We stay and face the main force of the Jiangdong Army. If we are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out. Ji Chang, you have a plan to protect yourself!"

Ma Liang shook his head and said:

"Time is tight and I am not good at military planning, so I have no way to protect myself! Although we are at a disadvantage, we still have to fight to gather our troops to win time for His Majesty. The three of us will make a good plan to get out of here!"

After hearing Ma Liang's words, Shamoke naturally refused to give up and turned his attention to Ma Su.

Ma Su did not say anything. Faced with the current dangerous situation, Ma Su was unable to turn the world back and fell into deep thought.

Liu Bei was blocked by Xu Sheng and could not move forward and retreat. In despair, a sound of horse hooves came, and the defeated troops moved away from both sides. It turned out that Guan Xing led the cavalry to protect the troops.

Although Guan Xing only had hundreds of cavalry, it was not something Xu Sheng's infantry could resist. He broke through a large road and retreated.

Retreat all the way, in the dark, passing by the forts of many aristocratic families, and struggling for the middle of the night, hungry and thirsty, so the guards asked to call the door, wanting to have a cup of hot tea and keep their stomachs.

Who knew that the guards of these forts had been ordered by their masters and would not accept them.

Liu Bei asked the guards to shout outside, but ignored him inside, clearly showing a neutral attitude, leaving Liu Bei helpless.

Liu Bei had no choice but to resist his hunger and continue to retreat.

Xu Sheng was greedy for the great achievements of capturing Liu Bei and pursued him all the way.

The moon disappeared, and the fish belly was white in the east, making it even harder to walk in the dark mountain road.

Xu Shengzhenjun, who was holding torches behind, had not diminished his speed and had already caught up.

Guan Xing had no choice but to turn around and face the battle, and Liu Bei and the guards continued to move forward.

Suddenly, with a cannon, another army blocked the way ahead. It turned out that Ding Feng detoured the way and set up an ambush.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were old partners. The two cooperated tacitly and attacked each other. Liu Bei's army could not resist it. They were surrounded by mountains and forests on both sides and had no way around.

Liu Bei was panic and suddenly shouted loudly. A Biao army came from behind Ding Feng and killed the siege.

It turned out that it was Zhang Bao leading the army, and he took a shortcut and just arrived behind Ding Feng. He heard the sound of war and came to rescue him.

Zhang Bao saved the first lord and led his army forward with Guan Xing.

While we were walking, a army came again in front of us, but Fu Tong and Zhao Rong came to pick us up.

After several people joined forces, Liu Bei felt a little relieved after having thousands of troops.

Although Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were killed by Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, they did not suffer any major losses and were still chasing him relentlessly.

It was dawn and Liu Bei was exhausted. Liu Bei saw a mountain in front of him, named Ma'anshan, and could be guarded by danger.

Let Zhang Bao and Guan Xing go to the mountainside and set foot down to rest.

Not long after I sat down, there were shouts at the foot of the mountain.

It turned out that Lu Xun led a large group of troops to surround Ma'anshan. Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and others were preparing to attack the mountain.
