Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

Cao Peng was in Xiliang and was ready to go, so he rushed to Xichuan.

In addition to his army and horses, there was also support from the Qiang people, and a total of 100,000 troops were gathered.

Xu Du did not respond to this military operation.

Perhaps Cao Cao had already acquiesced to what Cao Peng did in Xiliang.

If you know that you can't stop it, you might as well let it go.

The road of Shu is rugged, with thousands of mountains and rivers, cars cannot square rails, and horses cannot reinvigorate.

But on this map that Zhang Song presented to Cao Peng,

It all describes the geographical itinerary, the distance is vast and narrow, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the treasury is money and grain, all of which are clear.

This made the 100,000 army led by Cao Peng go smoothly.

"Zhang Song, according to our current marching speed, how long will it take to enter the Xichuan territory?" Cao Peng asked.

Zhang Song hurriedly bowed his hand and replied: "It's fast. At the current flying speed, we estimate that we will be able to enter in just one week."

Cao Peng nodded, quite satisfied with the current progress.

Seeing that there was nothing to say, Zhang Song said, "I have two confidant friends named Fa Zheng and Meng Da, who are also tired of Liu Zhang, a foolish guy."

"Maybe, I can contact them as an insider!"

When Cao Peng heard this, he was immediately happy.

Meng Da is okay, but as for this Fazheng, it is not a simple guy.

It seems that as we enter Yizhou, our team will be much more fulfilling.

The stronger his strength, the more he will be, the more he will be afraid of Cao Cao's side.

"That's how I'll be a sir!" Cao Peng said with a smile.

Zhang Song hurriedly bowed, "It is an honor to be able to serve a great hero like the general."

Cao Peng had long been accustomed to this guy's flattery, and he no longer paid attention to walking forward on his own.

Suddenly he found that something seemed to have happened ahead.

"Hey, there seems to be something wrong there. Let's go and see what's going on?"

Cao Peng always personally led his troops in front when he went on the expedition, and the large army was still behind. Their pioneer troops had only a thousand people.

They were all marching lightly, and Cao Peng, and the red rabbit horse under his crotch instantly, he threw away the servant behind him and came to the scene.

It turned out that a group of bandits surrounded a carriage.

There was a beautiful woman on the carriage, and her face was full of panic at this moment.

Her servant died and injured, and only one old man driving the car was fighting to confront the bandits.

"In broad daylight, I actually did such a miserable thing!"

Cao Peng shouted and immediately attracted the attention of these bandits. Looking back, he saw Cao Peng's mighty and arrogant armor, and recognized that this person was a soldier.

"this……"

"This guy is not easy to mess with. Today I have a thrust into it, so I have to withdraw first!"

These bandits were quite sensible and did not dare to come forward to confront Cao Peng, so they hurriedly scattered.

Cao Peng drew out the treasure bow, brushed a few arrows, and shot several, but most of them still sneaked into the deep mountains and jungles.

After a moment, the army behind Cao Peng followed and pulled the seriously injured coachman down to heal his wounds.

The woman in the car also walked out of the carriage.

"Thank you for helping me!"

The woman smiled and gradually relieved from her panic, and got off the carriage and bowed to Cao Peng.

In fact, she was still a little panicked.

What if Cao Peng is not a good person, isn’t he a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger?

"It's okay, I just don't know why the girl is here alone!"

It was really strange that Cao Peng saw such a woman in this wilderness.

The woman smiled bitterly, not knowing where to start. She was originally Zhang Lu's only daughter, named Zhang Qiying.

It was just because Zhang Lu wanted to win over Ma Chao and wanted to marry himself out.

The woman ran away from home in anger. She had no money and thought that she had encountered these bandits before she left the Xichuan territory.

Seeing that the woman had something to hide, Cao Peng did not ask much.

"If the girl has no place to go, she can stay in our army for the time being."

When Zhang Qiying heard this, she immediately showed alertness.

She is Zhang Lu's only daughter, so she naturally knows the interests and not everyone can stay in her territory.

What if the other party knows her identity, Zhang Qiying dares not think about it.

Cao Peng smiled and said, "Girl, look at your fear of wolves in front and tigers in the back, I'm not a bad person!"

"Since you doubt me, I can give you some dry food and money, and you can leave on your own!"

Cao Peng is not a person who is tempted to meet. With his current status, he is not very good at what kind of woman he is.

When Zhang Qiying heard this, she was stunned. It seemed that her thoughts had been discovered by the other party.

The white teeth gently bit on the lips.

Zhang Qiying whispered: "The general is so worried. Thank you for taking it in by the general. I am so grateful for it!"

Cao Peng laughed and didn't say much.

...

On the other hand, after Zhang Lu learned that his daughter was missing, he immediately activated the manpower he could to search for.

But it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, it can't be found no matter how hard you look for it.

When batches of domestic slaves and soldiers come back, they bring back bad news.

Zhang Lu was anxious and sat on the chair, supporting his face with his hands.

"It's over, Ma Chao just agreed to the marriage and had this incident happened. What should I do?"

No wonder he was frowning. It turned out that Ma Chao had agreed, and this kind of thing suddenly happened to him.

Ma Chao is a proud person and doesn't listen to any reason at all.

It would be fine if I didn't mention this at the beginning. Since I had already mentioned it, and my daughter had the temper of escaping marriage, she would probably attack him immediately.

Originally, a good thing turned out to be like this. What should Zhang Lu do if he is not in a hurry?

The chief clerk of the army who was standing beside him stepped forward and said, "Lord, it is important to find the lady as soon as possible, but we must also make plans for the lady who cannot find it."

Zhang Lu was stunned, "What do you mean?"

The chief clerk of the army said, "I heard that although the lord only has this Miss Zhang, you have many goddaughters, so it's better..."

When Zhang Lu heard this, he frowned.

Goddaughter, how can those vulgar rouge powder be worthy of Ma Chao?

"No, Ma Chao is a proud person!"

The chief clerk said again: "I heard that Miss Zhang has a maid, so she is not as beautiful as the lady but also looks pretty. The lord might as well let her pretend to be Miss Zhang..."

Zhang Lu frowned, still feeling that if this idea is backfired, there will be endless troubles.

However, he could not think of a better way for a while.

"Well, you should do your best to go ahead and find the lady.

In addition, bring the woman you just said to me, let me take a look first.”

A person with the identity of Zhang Lu has seen countless girls. As long as he can pass his eyes, Ma Chao must be able to accept it.
