West of the valley city, seventy miles.

"Father-in-law, you have to think clearly, and if you march to Luoyang again, you won't be able to turn back!"

On the uphill slope, Dong Zhuo suddenly paused, pointed to the inconspicuous town with smoke not far away and asked, "Wenyou, is that the valley city?" ”

"When is it, what kind of little valley city do you care!" Li Ru nodded roughly, jumped up and down in a hurry, led his horse with his right hand, and pulled Dong Zhuo's reins with his left hand and said: "Father-in-law, there is still a chance now, you raise troops to attack Mayue in Luo, pretend to fight, even if you see the situation clearly, it is convenient to make plans when the time comes." What's going on with you going straight to Luoyang now? The family money that has been saved for more than ten years, in case the pony hides something from us, or loses, have you ever thought about it? Then you're in for a long time! ”

"Father-in-law, you have to think clearly, we have fought so many big battles with the Tuge people in Bingzhou, and now there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses we have surrendered in Bingzhou, we people can achieve great things!"

Looking at Li Ru, who was sincere and sincere, a gentle smile flashed on Dong Zhuo's ugly fat face, "Wenyou, these old men carefully clamp their tails and behave as people, every time the imperial court is called up to fight, they have to painstakingly calculate the gains and losses, and after becoming the Taishou, they have to think clearly about who to drink with...... It's so tiring. ”

"Father-in-law, climb high enough, we just don't have to work hard, think about it again, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, son-in-law tell you so." Li Ru helplessly watched Dong Zhuo Chai Mi not enter, let go of the reins in his hand and sat down with the last effort and said: "Ma Yue has some means, but he is still too naïve. Before he did anything, he put on a look like he was going to work against the He family, and even we knew the news of the three thousand Changshui stationed in Chengyangmen at night, not to mention those people in Luoyang, who couldn't hide it. What did the He family recruit foreign troops for, eighty percent of them were to force the queen in the palace to comply, but he Ma Yue stood opposite the He family with such a big thorn, and put up his own flag in the palace city, making it clear that this stupid boy was going to fight with the elite soldiers and strong generals in Luoyang! ”

Li Ru stretched out his hands, "You're going to help him now?" I'm afraid the two of us together can't beat the elites from all over the world, don't say anything else, Ding Yuan's old horseman we have fought each other, the year before last, Duan Xuan's song and Ding Yuan's hand What is Zhang Liao to grab the war profits, more than the family, I haven't fought before, although the soldiers that will be brought are not as strong as they are now, but you can keep Zhang Liao's song is the elite soldiers under Ding Yuan's hands? Not to mention those Kwantung Army! ”

Niu Fu dragged Li Ru and said, "What did Wen You say, is it difficult for a Ding Yuan to scare us?" ”

"It's not that I raise the morale of others, I have calculated it for my father-in-law." Li Ru hurriedly said: "Let's help He Jin first when we enter Beijing, while attracting the captains and generals of the imperial city, while waiting for the timing to change, it is best for Ma Yue and the general's mansion to fight for both defeats, and no one will be able to control us at that time, you will assist the new emperor, isn't it good to enter Luoyang?" The son-in-law has been inquired about, Dong Sanye has been active in Luoyang these days, and only a few days ago he sent a message saying that he has a good relationship with Dong Chong, and Feng Fang's eunuch son-in-law also has some relationship, let's go over and make more efforts to make him stand still. Even the general He Miao's father-in-law, you have spent a lot of effort to make friends, and now you are showing the banner to help the horses, so won't all this be in vain? ”

"Alas, Ma San'er dared to turn Luoyang upside down when he was in his twenties, and the old man would no longer make trouble...... It's too late. Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, shook his head slightly, pointed at Niu Fu with a horsewhip, and asked: "Ah Da, I asked you, if you were asked to take 3,000 troops to the north to Mengjindu to block Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army, are you afraid?" ”

has been fighting with Dong Zhuo for ten years, and he has never lost to anyone under the same strength, can a bad old man who is too angry make him afraid? What's more, the five thousand people at the bottom of the hill are the sharpest warriors brought from home, Niu Fu squinted his eyes and smiled.

"If the father-in-law asks the son-in-law to lead the troops, if the old man dares to go out of the ferry, he will take off his head and kick the adult to kick the bow!"

"Hahaha, since that's the case, pass the order, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chousanqu, and a certain person crossed the mountain and stopped those turtle bastards in Kanto! Wen You, I sent a letter to Ma Sanlang and told him, Dong helped with this help! After laughing wildly, Dong Zhuo wrinkled his nose, turned around and rode his horse past his own military array, and ran to the center of the five thousand Qiang Hu and drank: "You have all been with Dong for a long time, and you should all know that Dong is a person, not to mention the court world, Lao Tzu is still the same sentence, you and Lao Tzu go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire like before, Lao Tzu is still the same as before, as long as you win the battle, glory and wealth, high-ranking homestead, good land servants, beautiful wives and concubines, as long as it is what you want, Lao Tzu will give it to you!" ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

"People say that the best soldiers in the world are the coolest and the most, and there are not many to say...... Come out, don't embarrass the family! Dong Zhuo pulled the reins unruly, looked at the soldiers who shouted long live in the mountain, and shouted: "Babies, give Lao Tzu a trip to the mountain, and you will be the best soldiers in the world for a while!" ”

……

Liangzhou, Zhangjiachuan.

The banquet wine to welcome the in-laws Cai Yong and the old thorn Shi Lianghu is in full swing, the wooden hall has a hole in the sky, and the bonfire with roast sheep is burning vigorously.

The men in the tent sat in a circle, and Ma Teng drank a bowl of bad wine, which burned like fire in his throat. Embarrassedly, he touched the bowl with Liang Hu, and said with a smile: "Don't be disgusted with the wine, the boss, you are a distinguished guest, and you shouldn't drink such a shepherd's bad wine to keep out the cold...... Liangzhou is not doing well this year, last year's cold, coupled with the military rebellion, the Han people were displaced, ten fields and seven famines, even the herdsmen's cattle and sheep were frozen to death nearly half, and the food at home was not enough...... To tell you the truth, you really can't make wine. ”

Liang Hu nodded, looked at everyone's long-term carnivorous sallow faces, shook his head and said: "Alas, the situation in all states in the world is not very good this year, there are continuous military disasters in various places, and the men have gone to war from the army. ”

Ma Teng shook his head, life is not easy, and the leader is even more difficult to be, but after a few years of hard work, he was in the prime of life, and he had white hair, and his originally resolute face was heavy, and he sighed and said: "This damn natural and man-made disaster, when is it a leader!" ”

Cai Yongting and the two of them said such unassuming words, and sighed: "If even the commander of the whole army in Liangzhou says this, then how can the underground soldiers live?" ”

Old man Cai smiled a little, but Ma Teng couldn't laugh, and said: "Let Mr. Cai smile, outside Shoucheng commands half of the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou east of Yuzhong, in fact, the men and horses of Hansui in Yuzhong and West will attack at any time, the imperial court has no military pay to transport it, and the Liangzhou army relies on self-sufficient horse farming, and on the other hand, it is ready to fight with Han Sui at any time, and the ordnance, money and food are not enough, you see, Shoucheng's hair is gray." ”

"This ......" Cai Yong raised his hand, wanting to say something, but he saw the silver stars on Ma Teng's head, who was less than forty years, and he didn't say anything after all.

"Hey." Seeing that Cai Yong had nothing to say, Ma Teng hurriedly smiled to himself, and said: "Fortunately, Han Sui's side is also not happy, we can still do some business with the garrison outside the Guan, he guards the saltwater river and eats salted fish all day long." ”

"Yes, the boss hasn't had time to ask, Luoyang is okay, why did you follow Mr. Cai and the people in the house back to Liangzhou at this time, and the court appointed it again?"

As soon as Ma Teng asked this, a group of brothers were all gossiping, especially Ma playing with Cheng Yin, they and Liang Hu could talk, and hurriedly interjected, but before they could say anything, they were pushed aside by Ma Zong, and said in a daze: "Liang Gong, why haven't you seen my little bean?" How many years you haven't been home, even if you haven't been home, he won't send you on the road when you have walked so far, what kind of system has it become? ”

Ma Zong's words sounded like he was arguing with his younger brother, but he was actually missing him tightly.

"Alas, it's not a secret, the old man was sent back by San Lang, and he passed to deliver a message to the family on his behalf." As soon as Liang Hu said this, a group of reckless men straightened their heads and listened, and saw that Liang Hu first looked at Ma Yu and settled down, and then looked at Ma Teng and Ma Zong and said, "San Lang wants to invite Ma Yu to lead the troops into Beijing." ”

Bring troops into Beijing!

The four words exploded in everyone's minds like thunder, and Ma Yu subconsciously asked: "Bring troops into Beijing?" What are you doing? ”

"That's it, Liang Gong told everyone, what does San Lang want to do with the soldiers, there are traitors in Luoyang?"

"It's not." Liang Hu shook his head and looked around, the house was full of Liangzhou people, and it could be seen by looking at the clothes and dressing up that most of the people who could sit here were the henchmen of the Ma family, so he said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, and you have to go to the general's mansion, and the general has recruited soldiers and horses from all over the world to enter Beijing, so San Lang wants to ask his family to do foreign aid." ”

Although Liang Hu left Luoyang, he was still worried about the safety of his disciples, since the convoy was on the road, the sentinels who came and went to visit the sentry have not stopped.

"The General's Mansion?" Ma Teng was startled at first, and then his eyes widened and he shouted: "Nonsense, how did Xiaodouzi get involved in Luoyang's affairs!" What if there are three long and two short? How many people does he want? Forget it, Liang Gong, you should tell the juniors about the situation in Luoyang first, Liangzhou is located in a remote area, and the news is blocked, and I don't know anything over there, so you should talk about it first. ”

"What else do you ask, brother, it's not too late for Mr. Liang to talk about those news, let's send troops first, Liang Gong is here, send troops to go, and a few days have passed, if San Lang's side is really against the General's Mansion, there are more patrols in the imperial city than Xiaodouzi, let's send troops first, Xiaodouzi has someone over there, don't care how hard the confidence is!"

Hearing Ma Zong's impatient words, Ma Teng was about to reprimand, but when he heard the last sentence, he nodded seriously, "The second brother is right, if you have soldiers under your hands, don't care how confident you are, sir, how many people does San Lang want?" ”

Liang Hu swept his gray beard, he felt that Luoyang might not be able to fight, stretched out a finger and said: "There are already more than 3,000 people on San Lang's side, and there are at least 9,000 guards in the palace. Liangzhou still needs to garrison the rebels, so let's send a thousand elite soldiers. ”

"One thousand elite soldiers, Shou Cheng, the old brothers under my command who set foot on the Yan clan Wu back then are also the most well-armed in Sichuan, I will take them there." The horse played with a wave of his hand, and threw away the sheep bones after gnawing, and pressed his oily palm on a few cases and said: "Give me another 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers who are idle in farming and have no weapons, just one requirement, people should be strong, don't fool Lao Tzu with the old, weak, sick and disabled." ”

"What do you want so many people to do?" Liang Hu asked: "Six thousand soldiers and horses are going to have an accident when they enter Beijing, in case of war, what can they do without weapons to fight?" It's not for nothing. ”

"The food and grass at home are in an emergency!" Ma Yu's eyes narrowed, and his face was full of cruelty, "Han Sui is right, you have to fight, where death is not death, just go and give San Lang a strong reputation!" ”

"Horse monkey, are you crazy?" Ma Tengluo stood up suddenly, "You are taking the brothers to death!" ”

"If I die, I will die with them! If the battle is won......" Ma Yu licked his lips and rolled his eyes, and pressed a finger on several cases, "When I come back, there will be at least three thousand elites with complete armor, right?" ”
