On the fifth day of the first month of April, Poyi County.

April 13, martial arts.

On April 19, it didn't cost a single soldier to take Meiyang...... The momentum is like a bamboo, approaching Chang'an.

The fierce and fierce Liangzhou army marched all the way, with 700 garrisons in Pei Juan in Yixian County and 800 in martial arts Pei Hui left behind. When he took Meiyang County, Ma Yue even broke up all the sergeants under his command and patrolled the entire grain and grass road, leaving only the more than 100 armored heavy horsemen by his side.

Further on, it's Jing Zhaoyin.

In Meiyang County, Ma Yue met for the first time the intelligence agency that his subordinates would spread across the Kansai region, the Splitwood Courtyard.

"Brother Cui." When the Liangzhou army marched outside the city of Meiyang, there was no resistance, infighting, or defection at all, and the entire city changed hands as if it should have changed hands. Meiyang ordered to hang the horse-character flag and the Chinese character flag side by side at the head of the city, and even the county seal letter was handed over at the door of the city. In the crowd, Ma Yue met Cui Jun, who had a living grace for him back then.

Cui Jun, who was depressed after being wiped out, has now changed his appearance, changing the appearance of a noble son who used to be dressed in gorgeous clothes, and wearing a simple single clothes to lead Ma Yue into the wood-splitting courtyard.

"Is Brother Cui the same as Master Cheng to Meiyang?" When Ma Yue saw the old man in Luoyang, he even felt a lot less nervous about starting the battle, and he played with the things that Cheng Li had used in the main room of the Splitting Wood Courtyard, and asked, "Why isn't Master Cheng here?" ”

Cui Jun arched his hand, with a little alienation on his face, and said: "Envoy, Mr. has already galloped towards Chang'an on a fast horse when the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou took Wugong County. ”

"In Chang'an County, there is our inner room, and Chang'an Ling Du Ji was your former protégé." Cui Jun said with a smile: "Therefore, Mr. will run for you, hoping to take Chang'an without spending any soldiers." ”

"With the master here, it's easy to take the land of the three auxiliaries!" Ma Yue nodded lightly, sat on the stool and beckoned Cui Jun to sit down, said with emotion, saw Cui Jun's dress, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yuanping, have you ever been married?" ”

Although Cui Jun is also nominally subordinate to Ma Yue, and he is also running for Ma Yue, he does not want to see Ma Yue. Whenever he saw this heroic and tall man, he would think of the night when his family was ruined, and the screams of the battle and the flames of the sky lingered in his memory, haunting him night after night.

Cui Jun shook his head, looked at Ma Yue's eyes and said, "Envoy, the world is in chaos, and how many families are ruined." Cui Yuanping, how can he go to get married...... But the ears of the lost dog. ”

"Brother Cui, let's call it Jun Hao. So that the king is too angry. Ma Yue couldn't see the hero's shortness of breath, but Cui Jun seemed to be a different person, what could he do, he could only ask carefully: "Anping...... Are there any relatives? ”

Cui Jun shook his head, Fu Ling Cui's family has fallen since the death of Cui Lie, the master of his family.

"You're the only one left in the clan?" For so many years, Ma Yue has never forgotten the things in Cui's Mansion back then, but he never thought that Cui's Mansion was full of people, and immediately asked: "Brother Ling, Cui Jun, where is it?" ”

Cui Jun shook his head and said: "The state is too guarded by Xihe, but now the state is in chaos, the road is not smooth, and there is no contact. ”

"In this way, Brother Cui, Xiliang's war against the state is about to begin, if you want, when the war is over, I will play for you the county of the state and the state to defend and recast the Cui clan." Ma Yue knew in his heart that this was what he owed to Cui, "What I owe to Boss Cui is difficult to repay in this life and this life, and I have the right to do it." But the elder brother must not teach this matter to win his ambition, first choose what he likes to marry, and the clan will spread out. ”

Cui Jun smiled rarely, did not continue to talk on this topic, but got up and rummaged through the files on several cases, and then read: "Envoy, the captain of the left road Guan has divided the army into four roads, breaking Qianyang on the seventh day, reporting Fengxiang on the ninth day, seizing Linyou and Qianxian on the 14th, and the letter sent back by the envoy recently is the seventeenth, and the army is in Yongshou...... Captain Guan has walked in front of you. ”

"He's definitely going to get ahead." Seeing that Cui Jun didn't want to say more on this topic, Ma Yue got up and said with a smile: "Guan Yunchang raised 8,000 troops, and Dong Zhongying raised 9,000 Liang troops, how can only five counties stop it?" In the final analysis, the defense of Sanfu is too weak now, and a certain court in the cool is not deployed in Sanfu, and now it is easy to counterattack. It is not yet time for the two armies to fight. Brother Cui, follow me to Tongguan, where is the place for the men under your command to show their true skills! ”

On April 27, Ma Yue entered Chang'an unimpeded.

……

Luoyang, Dutingyi.

Since the news of the Liangzhou army's entry into Guanxi came, Dutingyi has become the rear camp of Liangzhou in the west, recruiting warriors from all over the country to assist the imperial court.

"Ma Yue's Liangzhou army is out of the customs, and the horse is returned, and it occupies the cities of the right Fufeng departments one after another." Yuan Shao knelt on his head with a golden sword, adhering to the temperament of the traditional Han nobles, and asked with open hands: "Who of the gentlemen has ever fought against the Liangzhou cavalry?" ”

In the Duting Station, there are some glorious figures in later history, but these people are now only the captains and captains of Luoyang, such as the famous Hebei Siting Zhu, or the small staff of the shogunate of the great general, who seem to be judged with Tian Feng, Guo Tu Xu You and others.

When Tian Feng was young, he was recruited by the imperial court as a servant of the imperial history, just because he didn't like eunuchs to be in power, although he was depressed, he was also a famous man in Jizhou. Yuan Shao took office as a general, and personally brought gifts to the door and asked him to go to Luo to give him advice. The judges and others are also similar, and celebrities from all over the world have been invited to contribute wisdom.

Seeing that there was silence below, Yuan Shao shook his head gently. These strategists and warriors around him are all the best among the people, but unfortunately they are all young and strong, and they have more than enough stamina but lack of precipitation. This time Ma Yue unsurprisingly supervised the Liangzhou soldiers and horses into the three auxiliaries, Yuan Shao was more happy than angry in his heart, and now His Majesty and Ma Yue's relationship between the government and the opposition is well known, and the impact on the northern army camp led to the mutiny of the Changshui battalion. With such a heavy responsibility, His Majesty and the old queen mother not only did not think they were angry, but also turned to Liangzhou Mu and gave him great power.

Yuan Shao wanted to take this opportunity to defeat Ma Yue's heart that yearned for Luoyang, and he wanted a big victory for the Han army in the imperial court, so that the heroes of the world would not dare to disobey.

At the same time, there was general chaos in the court, and it was difficult for those old ministers who were close to Ma Yue to speak for him now. The army has all reached Sanfu, and it is no different from the rebels, what else is there to say? Even His Majesty couldn't stand the pressure.

'Ma Yue, Ma Yue, Yuan wants to see, without the protection of the imperial court, what do you do as a blessing! ’

"Why, can't you all do it?"

Chun Yuqiong looked left and right, and saw that everyone didn't speak, so he said: "General, don't care what Ma Yue is, how many soldiers can he recruit in that place in Liangzhou?" Full of 40,000 soldiers and horses, there is no crossbow or armor in the poor countryside, the general, you order, a certain family will go out of Tongguan to take back the three auxiliaries! ”

Just about this, Tian Feng thought about it and said as if he had made up his mind: "Chun Yu General is slow, you are brave and resolute, but Ma Yue is not good at his generation, in the early years, Yuan Hao heard that General Xiao Yuan outside the Qingzuo Sect had tasted defeat...... You should know better than Yuan Hao. ”

"Tian Feng, you!"

Chun Yuqiong stood up and was about to scold, looking at Tian Feng with a confident smile but sitting back down, and said unconvinced: "If you don't say anything, Lao Tzu wants to go to war and say no!" ”

"Chunyu, don't talk like that." Yuan Shao saw Tian Feng get up, and said with a smile: "Yuan Hao has a good plan? Let's talk about what you think. ”

"General, if you say that Ma Yue is a person, it is enough to be called insidious and cunning, if you don't have to fight more with less, your people will not be defeated. If it weren't for the gullibility of the general, I'm afraid that the position of general is still him. Tian Feng didn't have the slightest smile on his face, and the words he said made the whole room, including Yuan Shao, look sideways, this person is too unable to speak. But seeing that Tian Feng himself was particularly unconscious, he said with a serious face: "His people broke Sun Jian, beheaded Yu She, the vanguard of General Xiao Yuan, attacked the battle of Hou's Wu, and governed the army and engaged in battles with rules and regulations, which can be called a famous general for a while." After only three years in Liang, he broke through the Guanxi bandits with his white hands, and Han Sui rebels, recovering the three subject states of the ten counties of Liang...... True heroes, generals and generals must not despise this person. ”

Yuan Shao took a breath, the family motto and clan passed down from generation to generation gave him a good cultivation, but Tian Feng, as a staff member, taught him not to despise Ma Yue, didn't he despise him in his words?

Calming down, Yuan Shao asked: "As you said, Ma Yue I is a hero, how to stop it?" ”

"Now there are more than 10,000 troops in Dutingyi, the arsenal and armament are sufficient, and the recruitment of troops in various places is still continuing, and the imperial court can raise more than 50,000 soldiers directly into the battlefield in two months." Tian Feng arched his hand and said: "My subordinates suggested that a fierce general should be sent to supervise 5,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Yellow River in the north, cross the mountains from the east of the river to the north to Hejindu, and cross the river to the west to wait for an opportunity. Xi Gaozu asked Han Xin why he was a general, and Han Xin led more soldiers, the better. When the Yellow Turban was discussed, Ma Yue Yu Thousand Troops and Thousands of Miles Across the Thousands of Miles did not taste a defeat, but its five thousand soldiers and horses were defeated, and its small group of soldiers and horses were invincible, but this was a battle of all people, and the generals of Liangzhou did not have such experience, and the coordination of several soldiers and horses would inevitably make mistakes, and the general could start from here. ”

"Moreover, General Chun Yu said that Liangzhou is big and there are few people. And its people are poor and barren, and it is difficult to support their burdens. The general Ke personally led a large army to garrison Hongnong and sent a fierce general to take over the defense of Tongguan. Once it is vigorous, it will decline again. Strictly guard against the danger of defending Tongguan Our army can be held for several years, and the power of the imperial court can never be stopped, and its small land in Liangzhou may be inexhaustible? ”

"In this way, if it consumes a year and a half, its department will be self-defeating!" When Tian Feng said this, the wisdom bead on his face was in his hand, and he arched his hand and said: "In addition, to recruit troops, the people of Gyeonggi do not need to be re-recruited, Jizhou Montenegro cannot make ends meet, and its people have experienced many battle formations, you can send a letter to make it transport personnel." In this way, the people of Luoyang will not be mistaken, and they will not be afraid of the soldiers of Liangzhou. ”

After Tian Feng said this, Yuan Shao looked at him with a lot of approval...... Although Tian Yuanhao couldn't speak, his control of the overall situation was worthy of his reputation, and he clapped his hands and said, "Do you have any objections?" If there is no objection, open your jaw and look high, you two will supervise the five thousand foot soldiers to go north immediately, and Yuan Xi will dredge the grain road for you in the back and transport the baggage. ”

"Yan Liangwen is ugly and ugly, Yu Qiong, and ordered the three of you to command the army of 9,000 and go to Tongguan to garrison the army on the same day. Yuan Tan prepared a grain road and raised grain and grass. Yuan Hao, you will stay in Duting for the time being, recruit troops on my behalf, and dredge the letter to contact Jizhou Montenegro. ”

"The rest of the people went to Hongnong with the army to prepare for the battle against Ma Yue!"
