Chapter 1707 The Covenant of Datian
Cao Shu led the army to Datian.
Daejeon is located in Mahan, only a few miles from the border of Benhan.
When he was about to arrive, Cao Shu saw a group of people waiting in the distance.
Most of the men and horses were cavalrymen.
Their number is not very small, about two or three thousand, but the military discipline seems to be very scattered. The soldiers in the army just stood there casually, and there was no array or layout at all.
"I thought Mahan would be better." Seeing the people in the distance, Cao Zhang said contemptuously: "I didn't expect that they were like Benhan, all of them were a group of mobs."
"The three Koreans have always been just mobs." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Cao Zhang: "But don't underestimate them too much. Although it is easy to attack Benhan, it is when Benhan is unprepared. Now Mahan has been wary of us and fighting with them will not be too difficult, but it cannot be as easy as taking Benhan off."
"I understand what my elder brother said." Cao Zhang said: "Although the other party is so weak, he is still alive after all. As long as he is alive, I will not underestimate them unless they are all dead."
"It's right to think like this." He patted Cao Zhang's shoulder lightly, and Cao Shu ordered to the side: "Send someone to come and ask if King Mahan is here."
A fast horse rushed out of the army.
The one who rode his horse towards the opponent's array was a captain who knew the three Korean languages.
The captain once served as an envoy to Mahan and knew King Mahan as well.
When he arrived in front of the Mahan formation, he saw the Mahan king standing in front of the formation, and stopped the war horses and asked, "Is it possible that the king will lead the army to come here? Is it necessary to fight with our army?"
King Mahan was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I brought my troops here just to be more careful and did not mean to be an enemy of the King of Five Prefectures."
The captain smiled slightly and said to King Mahan: "The King of Wuzhou sent me to ask if it was the king. Since I saw the king, I will go back and report my life."
"I have already sent people to be in the city..." King Mahan wanted to say that he had sent people to be in the city.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the captain.
The captain said, "The king is determined. The king of Wuzhou came to Datian and did not intend to enter the city. He just chatted with the king outside the city."
"I wonder where the King of Wuzhou is planning to see me?" asked King Mahan.
"I'll go back to ask the King of Wuzhou, let me know again!" The captain bowed and left, turning his hand and leaving.
Cao Shuo could see Mahan's army, and of course King Mahan could also see his army.
Although the Navy was not established for too long, all exercises were based on the unified standards of the Cao army.
After the army stopped, every soldier stood up straight and his chest was full of energy.
Their array is neat, making the army look even more full of spears, which makes people feel cold in their hearts when they look at it.
Looking at the Cao family soldiers, King Mahan swallowed.
Sangyuan, who was by his side, whispered: "King, fortunately we did not become enemies with the King of Five Prefectures."
King Mahan nodded, feeling even more panicked.
Not only was the number of troops on the opposite side far more than them, but what was even more terrifying was that the military discipline was strict and not as scattered as the Mahan Warriors.
After waiting for a while, the captain rode his horse back again.
He pointed to the open space among the two armies and said to King Mahan: "King, the King of Five Prefectures is there to meet you."
"Where?" The captain pointed to a clearing area. King Mahan asked in surprise: "Can the King of Wuzhou want to talk to me on the back of a horse?"
"Of course not." The captain said: "Someone will set up a canopy later, and the king of the Five Prefectures will invite the king to taste our Central Plains wine."
When Cao Shu invited him to drink, King Ma Han felt a little panicked, but he did not dare to show it. He said to the captain: "I also ask the envoy to inform the King of Five Prefectures, and I will definitely go."
While the two were talking, more than a dozen soldiers walked out of the Cao army formation.
They set up tables in the open space and set up canopy again.
The captain did not report to Cao Shu, but said to King Mahan: "Huagai is ready, please ask the king to go."
Sanghara said to King Mahan: "I am willing to accompany the king."
With Sanghara accompanying him, King Mahan became more courageous.
He nodded, greeted Sanghara, and rode his horse toward Huagai.
King Mahan and Sang Yuan arrived under the Huagai.
Cao Shu brought Cao Zhang to arrive later.
The captain who conveyed the news to King Mahan stood aside as the translator.
"Is this King Mahan?" When I arrived, Cao Shu rode on the horse and asked King Mahan.
"That's right." King Mahan replied, "I've met the King of Five Prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty."
Cao Shu turned over and dismounted and walked to the low table placed under the canopy.
After sitting down, he gestured to King Mahan: "Please sit down, king!"
I had heard that Cao Shu was not old, and King Ma Han expected that he was extremely heroic, but he did not expect that he was handsome and elegant.
It was not until Cao Shuo sat down that King Ma Han accused him of his crime and sat down.
"I invite the king to come today, but I actually want to discuss the matter between Sanhan." Cao Shuo said: "Sanhan is located in the northeast of the Han Dynasty. Although it is a small place, its location is very important."
"What the King of Five Prefectures is saying," asked King Mahan, "I wonder what the King of Five Prefectures has to do?"
"What can I have plans?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Three Hans are your territory. Even if I bring thousands of troops, I am just an outsider after all."
"I asked Sangyuan to visit the King of Wuzhou before, and it has shown my feelings. Mahan is willing to surrender to the great Han Dynasty." King of Mahan said: "As long as the King of Wuzhou leaves us a way out, Mahan is willing to follow us to the death."
"I just want to meet the king." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I heard that you three Koreans are very good at drinking, so they specially brought some fine wine from the Central Plains and drank two glasses with the king."
"How dare I not drink the fine wine brought by the King of Wuzhou?" King Mahan said quickly: "I have heard that the Central Plains wine is mellow, and being able to taste the Central Plains wine is also a great blessing in my life."
"As long as the king is willing, I can let you drink Central Plains wine every day in the future." Cao Shu said with a smile.
King Mahan quickly replied: "Of course..."
"It seems that the king is a good wine person." Cao Shuo first smiled and said to him, then ordered Cao Zhang: "Open the wine and pour wine for me and the king."
After being tempered in Shouchun for many days, he has been on the battlefield several times. Now Cao Zhang has a strong physique and has a strong aura of a fierce general.
He picked up a jar of fine wine, opened it, and poured a glass for Cao Shu and King Ma Han.
Looking at Cao Zhang, King Mahan asked, "Dare you ask this warrior..."
After the captain translated, Cao Shuo smiled and said, "He is my third brother. This time he came out with me just to see the world!"
A powerful general like Cao Zhang followed Cao Shu to Sanhan just to see the world. King Mahan felt even more unable to fight against Cao's army.
