"General Zhao Yun, enemy soldiers are coming closer." Zhang Yi observed.
"Nothing... Just... Wutugu..." Wei Yen spoke.
"King Wutugu? I could kick his arse in less than ten seconds. Just watch me." Ma Chao snickered. (1.)
King Wutugu marched forward, and saw the famous Shu generals. "Hmn, so you guys are stupid enough to challenge me. Alright, bring it on!" Wutugu shouted.
Ma Chao charged forward.
At that moment, arrows flew from both sides and stabbed into Ma Chao's sides. The warrior screamed and fell on the ground.
"Ma... Chao... Defeated?" Wei Yen turned to Zhao Yun.
"It would seem so..." Zhao Yun sighed.
"Hah, you thought I was so stupid, did you? Yeah, it's not honorable, but I'm a barbarian, and Kongming would do the same thing. You've been beat, Shu curs!" Wutugu laughed.
"That's it..." Zhao Yun glared and raised his spear.
"C'mon!" Wutugu taunted.
Zhao Yun charged forward and swung his spear. It was Wutugu's time to scream for his mother...
After being beaten, Wutugu's troops still ran forward and engaged the enemy. This gave the beaten Wutugu enough time to flee to Meng Huo.
"I took down Ma Chao, but Zhao Yun got me."
"You took out Ma Chao, sweet. Zhao Yun beats up everybody, so don't take it personally..." Meng Huo sighed.
-----------------
It actually took some time for the Shu troops to take out the Nanman forces that were under Wutugu. But before Zhao Yun could proceed, Dalai Dongzhi set up pitfalls, trapping the Shu soldiers. After falling into pitfalls for an entire week, Zhao Yun finally was able to march close to the Nanman position.
Meanwhile, Meng Huo received a package from Meng You. In it, he received a letter: "The Thai are letting us borrow 1,000 of the stuff you requested. They did this because they are soiling themselves in the belief that, after we get beaten, Shu will go after them." (2.)
"Excellent, ready the catapults!" Meng Huo roared at his men.
"Is it just me, or do these packages smell?" A Nanman soldier asked Dailai Dongzhi.
"They smell." The strategist acknowledged.

1. Yeah, yeah, I know that Ma Chao was not taken in the Southern Expedition, but heck, you gotta admit it, Ma Dai so pwns Ma Chao. Thus, Ma Dai is taking his place while the Beautiful General can take on the Nanmans.
2. If you are Thai, please do not be offended. Zhuge Liang back then would have conquered the world in the name of the Han. If he beat the Nanmans, what makes you think he would not go for any other nation?
