The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 778 Chapter 777
Xu Huang followed Pang De into Ma Chao's big tent. As soon as he entered the big tent, under the faint light, he suddenly saw Ma Chao lying on the couch with a pale face and a dull expression, as if he was sick.

"General, General Xu is here!" Pang De walked to Ma Chao's side, bowed his head and whispered.

After Ma Chao heard this, he turned his head and fixed his gaze on Xu Huang's body. He wanted to support himself, but it seemed very difficult. At this moment, Pang De hurriedly supported Ma Chao, and Ma Chao sat up reluctantly. But instead of getting out of bed, he leaned against the bed and coughed violently a few times.

"General Ma, you don't look very good. Are you sick? Do you want to see a military doctor?" Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly walked to Ma Chao's bed and asked with concern.

Ma Chao wanted to speak, but coughed again. Pang De hurriedly continued, and said to Xu Huang: "General Xu, to be honest, my general has been suffering from the wind and cold for a while now, and there is no Fortunately, sometimes it will be accompanied by fever and chills, and the military doctor prescribed medicine, but it didn't see any effect, so that I can't afford to stay in bed now."

Xu Huang observed Ma Chao carefully, but found nothing abnormal, it didn't seem like he was pretending, thinking that Ma Chao, a macho man, would be tortured so weakly by such a small disease, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"General Ma is already sick like this. General Pang didn't know how to tell me. I can find a famous doctor to treat General Ma. Doctors in the army can treat some traumas, but a little more complicated illnesses can't be cured at all. , It’s just a group of quack doctors, General Ma is so seriously ill, he should immediately find a famous doctor for treatment.” Xu Huang said.

Ma Chao raised his hand weakly, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Actually, there is nothing serious about it, but I have always been used to staying in the northwest, and when I suddenly came to the southwest, it may be affected by the climate, and I am not acclimatized to the water and soil, and have vomiting and diarrhea." , In addition, I contracted a cold a while ago, and have not treated it in time, so that the delay has become more and more serious, and by the time I go to the treatment, it is already too late...cough cough cough..."

"General Ma's illness has become like this. It's not good to keep procrastinating like this. This place is located in southern Xinjiang, and the doctors' medical skills are very limited. If you want to treat General Ma's illness, you must go to Chengdu to find a famous doctor. I will go to the governor to explain it. In this case, please send someone to send General Ma to Chengdu for medical treatment!" Xu Huang turned around and left after finishing his sentence.

Seeing this, Ma Chao's eyes showed a hint of cunning, as if seeing a ray of dawn, he thought to himself: "I really didn't expect that I just pretended to be seriously ill and wanted to fool Xu Huang, but I received unexpected results!"

Pang De had a straightforward personality, seeing Xu Huang was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said, "General Xu, don't be in a hurry. General Xu suddenly visited tonight. I wonder if there is something important?"

Xu Huang stopped suddenly, turned around and patted his forehead suddenly, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I almost forgot about this!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Huang returned to Ma Chao's side, and said slowly: "General Ma, it's like this. I have a very important matter for my late-night visit, and I hope General Ma will accommodate you."

"What's the matter?" Ma Chao still said weakly.

Xu Huang said: "I want to borrow [-] Qiang soldiers from General Ma!"

"Borrowing soldiers?" Ma Chao was quite surprised. He never thought that Xu Huang would ask him to borrow soldiers, and it was Qiang soldiers he borrowed.

"Yes, it's just borrowing troops, not many, only 1 people are enough!" Xu Huang nodded and said slowly.

"Cough cough cough..." Ma Chao coughed again, "1 people...although it's not many, but the key is that you borrowed all Qiang soldiers. The Qiang people don't listen to anyone except my orders. You Borrowing from them is tantamount to borrowing in vain, I'm afraid they won't listen to your orders...By the way, General Xu, can you tell me what you plan to borrow troops for?"

"Is such that……"

Xu Huang told Ma Chao all the ins and outs of the matter. After hearing this, Ma Chao snorted coldly and said, "Gan Ning sent troops without permission, Zhang Liao not only didn't punish him, but even sent you to rescue him." He, this is clearly protecting him! He even said that a bowl of water is flat, if it were me, I'm afraid I would be left to fend for myself!"

"General Ma, like General Gan, is a general in the court. Even if this happened to General Ma, the governor would still send someone to rescue him. Even if the governor didn't send, I would take my men with me. Bring General Ma back safely!" Xu Huang said.

After hearing these words, Ma Chao felt a burst of gratitude in his heart.At present, the relationship between Ma Chao and the other generals is not very good, and only Xu Huang is left to talk. Although the two have not yet reached the point of confidant, and the relationship is not so deep, but since Pingshu, the two have changed from discord to Becoming a golden partner with a tacit understanding, it can be said that they don't know each other without fighting, and they have a friendship in their hearts.

"As for General Xu's words, I borrowed this soldier. Is [-] enough? If not, the [-] troops under my command will be sent by General Xu." Ma Chao said generously.

After hearing this, Xu Huang felt infinitely grateful. He thought it would take a lot of effort to ask Ma Chao to borrow troops, but he didn't expect that Ma Chao agreed so readily.

"1 people are enough. If there are too many, I can't command. General Ma is so generous that Xu doesn't know what to say." Xu Huang said.

Ma Chao smiled and said, "General Xu is my Ma Chao's brother, and I, Ma Chao, are willing to do anything for my brother."

Xu Huang's heart suddenly felt warm, and he met Ma Chao's eyes with affection.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Ma Chao coughed violently again. After Xu Huang who was at the side read it, he felt a little worried. If this continues, Ma Chao will turn into a puddle of mud!
"General Ma, your illness can't be delayed any longer. I'll go to the governor and ask him to send someone to send you to Chengdu for treatment." Xu Huang stood up and was about to leave.

"General Xu, wait a minute. The governor has always been prejudiced against me. He will think that I am pretending to be sick, and he will definitely not let me leave. And once I leave, what will happen to my [-] elite soldiers? Without me here, they You can't even listen to Pound's words!" Ma Chao said.

"Then what should we do? Is it possible to let General Ma survive like this?" Xu Huang asked anxiously.

"How about this? Another part of my subordinates, led by Ma Dai, is currently in Chengdu. Let him lead 3 people here to help out. When he comes, I will bring 3 people here to Chengdu. , with me restraining them, they absolutely dare not mess around." Ma Chao said.

"Okay, but for the transfer of troops, you still need to apply to the governor, not to mention that there is a long journey from Chengdu to here, wouldn't your illness be delayed?" Xu Huang said.

"I have asked people to inquire about it. I heard that there is a very well-known witch doctor in Nanzhong who can cure all kinds of diseases. As long as you find him and ask him to treat me, I believe that I can recover. When the time comes to deal with the rebels , so I can contribute too!" Ma Chao said.

"Where is the witch doctor, I will send someone to find it!"

"No, this witch doctor has a weird temper. Except for the patients who come to visit him personally, he will not leave the house even if you put a knife on his neck. I have already asked where the witch doctor is. I originally planned to go there today, but if I rush out of the camp, I'm afraid the governor will think too much..."

"You don't have to worry about the governor, I will take care of everything on my body, I will go to persuade the governor, regardless of whether the witch doctor's medical skills are really good, General Ma will go there, if he is cured, then Then we brothers will sit together and drink happily!"

"Then there is General Lao Xu."

The soldiers were borrowed, and Xu Huang left Ma Chao's barracks full of joy, but he still had one thing in his heart, that is, Ma Chao's condition was serious, and he could not delay any longer. After leaving Ma Chao's barracks, he went directly to Zhang Liao.

In Ma Chao's big tent, after Pang De sent Xu Huang away, he came in again from the outside. As soon as he entered, Ma Chao couldn't wait to ask: "Has Xu Huang left?"

"gone."

As soon as Ma Chao changed from his sickly look just now, he looked very energetic, energetic, and full of energy, with a strange smile on his face, and slowly said to Pound: "This is really God helping me, With Xu Huang's help, half of my plan can be achieved."

Pound frowned. He had been with Ma Chao for many years. Although he was not very talkative, he could guess what Ma Chao was thinking.Even with a look, an expression, a movement, and a gesture, he can interpret Ma Chao very well.He asked with embarrassment: "General, is it really necessary to do this?"

Ma Chao turned his head and glanced at Pound. Seeing Pound's appearance, he felt relieved, and asked slowly, "Have you already guessed what I'm going to do?"

Pound nodded.

"Since you have guessed it, you should support me with all your strength. Don't forget that we are the grasshoppers on the same rope!" Ma Chao said.

Pang De said: "Because of this, I feel the need to persuade the general. Since Zhang Liao was appointed by the regent as the governor of Nanzhong to lead such a complicated coalition army, it shows that the regent has enough trust in Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao I am not a person who has a reputation for nothing. This man is both civil and military. He is a very powerful person. I am worried that the general will steal a chicken and lose a handful of rice..."

"Enough! Don't push up other people's ambitions. No one can change what I, Ma Chao, have decided! If you help me wholeheartedly, I will definitely succeed!"

"What about General Xu? Once the plan is implemented, wouldn't General Xu become an accomplice indirectly? Will Zhang Liao let him go?"

"It depends on Xu Huang's own good fortune!" Ma Chao said sullenly.
