Chapter 115: Shining Merit
Guan Yu was a little undecided, the Jizhou army had already captured the pass east of Luoyang and opened the gate to Luoyang, but he didn't know whether he should lead the army to besiege Luoyang City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason for his hesitation was not his loyalty to the Han family, but because of his status as a general of Liangguo.
When the Liang Han was in the same situation, leading the army to besiege Luoyang City became a great honor for the warriors of Liangzhou, and this glory should be obtained by Ma Yue, the king of Liang, in Guan Yu's heart.
Therefore, he made the soldiers and horses dressed up in the revolving gate pass, so that Wanning led 8,000 Jizhou cavalry to threaten several cities in the pass, and no longer led the army to the west.
He had to wait for Ma Yue to capture Tongguan, and when the army besieged Luoyang, he would lead his troops to fight to the death...... But before that, he turned his attention to the Xuzhou battlefield.
Not only because his old friend Xu Huang is difficult to support alone, but also because the whereabouts of the prince of Liang Wang are unknown.
Yan Yanming, the general of Liangguo, led an army of 30,000 troops to the south and went straight to Xuzhou...... Yan Xing's mission was not to defeat the Jiangdong Army, and Guan Yu asked him to use these 30,000 horses to find Ma Qing's whereabouts.
Soon, however, Yan Xing's mission became to fight the Jiangdong Army.
The prince of Liangguo came back, came back with 30,000 well-trained Mi family troops and the marriage contract of the Mi family's little sister, took Pijun under his banner, launched an attack from behind Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, and connected the three cities in the south of Xuzhou in one day, forming horns to threaten each other to the north.
Maybe Ma since Ma Yue, the door style is a little deviated, all of them are ambitious people who do not respect the orders of their parents, Ma Qing received the 30,000 thousand soldiers loyal to the Mi family, and then made a marriage contract with the Mi family on his own initiative, and agreed that when Xuzhou was pacified, Ma Shizi married the Mi family's little daughter with the appointment of the three counties.
30,000 soldiers for three counties Taishou, this deal can't say who suffers, but Ma Qing has always suffered a little loss after all.
The soldiers and horses were given to the Ma clan to fight, and the girl became the daughter-in-law of the Ma clan, and in the end, she had to guard the land of the three counties for the Ma clan...... No matter how you look at it, he feels that he has earned it.
The Mi clan is not too much of a loss, after all, in the current situation, the Ma clan's chariot can still gallop forward for at least two hundred years, and the two brothers have become the future uncle of the Liang Kingdom from the head of the family, which can definitely be called a gorgeous transformation.
Ma Qing was safe, and he didn't even think that it would be so safe when he sent troops from Xiapi, and when he was recuperating in Xiapi Kingdom, he didn't expect that the battle situation in the whole world would become like this in just half a year.
Meng Qi's brother won the seven roads of the Hanzhong rebels in a row, and was crowned Yizhou Mu, and the uncle of the White Emperor Dong marched eastward to join Shanyue to face Sun Jian; The second uncle Ma Zong died in Tongguan, Tongguan changed hands, and then his father His Royal Highness took General Jincheng Han as the vanguard to supervise the army of 100,000 and three assistants, and then the army of Liangguo was dispatched, known as a million for his brother's revenge, and Bozhan brother ran for his father's funeral, with 30,000 white-robed troops in Tongguan in three battles and three victories, captured Cao Ang and beheaded Dian Wei, fought a textbook battle, and then faced Liu Jingzhou, and actually killed the Jingzhou army twice as much as himself.
The entire Central Plains was enveloped in war.
The same is true in Jiangdong, Gan Ning, the commander of the naval army of Liangguo, led the strongest fleet of Liangguo into the sea, landed strongly from the coast of Jiangdong, surrounded Chaisang and broke Wudi, so that the prince of Wu Hou wrote a book of surrender, how majestic?
All of this was learned after Ma Qing garrisoned the southern part of Xuzhou and contacted Gan Ning's warship that Ma Shizi, who had thought that the army he was standing here to threaten Sun Ce was just a praying mantis catching cicadas, after all, behind a big river was the base camp of the Sun family, and he was afraid to send his brother-in-law Mi Fang to lead the army to ambush on the north bank of the Yangtze River, preparing to take advantage of the fact that the reinforcements sent by Jiangdong had just come ashore to fight an ambush.
"Your Royal Highness, the Yangtze River is full of Liangguo warships...... Do you really want to fight? ”
Brother-in-law Mi Fang said this to Ma Qing, and when Ma Qing arrived at the riverside, he couldn't help but rub his eyes...... The people walking on the river are really his Ma clan's warships.
These Liangguo warships were larger, stronger, more important, and more arrogant than the Liangguo warships he had seen in Linjin Shuizhai in appearance.
Linjin Water Village is the first time that the Liangguo of Mabei established a water village next to the land, located in the north of the junction of the Yellow River and Weishui, when his father Ma Yue spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to establish the water village, and even sent his uncle Pei Hui to serve as the Hedong Taishou in the territory of the imperial court, in order to build this water village. Linjin Water Village also means the starting point of Liangguo's ambition for the world.
At that time, the warships adhered to the characteristics of the soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom, all heavy warships, and the strongest warships were built by skilled craftsmen in the world, equipped with the catapults of the Liang Kingdom, and the majesty of the water war was unparalleled for a while.
However, that powerful fleet was almost completely lost in the hands of the Jiangdong people, and failed to play a decisive role in the war.
It was also since then that Ma Qing was skeptical of Liangguo's water combat effectiveness and no longer cared about the situation of the water division.
So under whose leadership is this powerful fleet, which is stronger and more powerful than ever, and whose sails are even made of all the large ships of the Ryokuni?
Ma Qing's mind was a little confused, the spies of Xiapi had never told him that there was a fleet passing by from the west.
When he showed his flag and asked to board the ship to meet with the commander of the sailors, after a short rest, he met Gan Ning and Guan Cheng as he wished, and then learned about the deployment of these young Qingzhou.
What a cool warrior!
What a big cooler!
Ma Qing had no worries, and he was not in a hurry to attack the north, so he sent troops and horses to block the main roads of the Jiangdong Army to the south, arranged ambushes on the left side of the road, and waited for the Jiangdong Army to hit the blade by itself.
His deployment was correct, but it only hurt the Mi family soldiers of the Xiapi State under his command. Where have these people fought any decent battles? They did not participate in the war when Xu Huang entered Xuzhou, and the earlier Yellow Turban Rebellion was also the business of their ancestors, and those people who were lucky enough to survive are now in the Mi family as family treasures...... The only big battle that these young people experienced was the melee of the Hao clan before Pei Hui went to Xuzhou, and in that war, the Mi family soldiers did not play much of an important role, and they were only based on the city wall.
In other words, after the time when they were cut off from half a soldier and half a farmer in these years, the most powerful enemy they have experienced is just those small wealthy families in Xuzhou.
And now, out of Xuzhou, their aunt His Royal Highness actually wants to rely on them to block the way for the world-famous Jiangdong Xiaobawang to retreat?
Slippery world!
What can they do?
Not to mention those family soldiers, even Mi Fang, a small wealthy family who is famous for his bravery, is a little bottomless in his heart.
But Ma Qing also went to their ambush position every day, teaching them how to deploy defenses, how to stabilize their positions when the battle came, and what kind of situation they had to face and what kind of place to charge...... What makes Mi Fang feel the most amazing is that Ma Qing has done too many things that are not like the son of the world.
For example, carrying a shield and having the archer shoot at him from a hundred paces away, taught his subordinates how to protect the most important parts of their body in a rain of arrows. Or a spear, as if there were robes on the left and right, and lower the body and move forward steadily.
The Jiangdong people can hold their breath, and the prince can also hold their breath, but no matter how calm the Jiangdong people are, Xu Huang will also destroy all the farmland in Xuzhou, and the fields trampled by the horses' hooves of Liangguo will not even grow a single hair for at least two years, and the grain road behind them has been completely cut off by Gan Ning...... Sun Ce will come back sooner or later.
If he doesn't come back, he will die on the road.
And Ma Qing actually took advantage of this time to carry out intensive training for the soldiers and horses under his command, although this kind of training is actually a small-scale and low-effect training...... No matter how much his professor is in place, he is only one person, he can teach three or five hundred people one action a day, compared to the base of 30,000 people, what can he teach in ten days and half a month?
What's more, Ma Qing himself knows that he is not a veteran, at most he has a little intuitive understanding of the battlefield, which can play the role of a fart?
"Your Royal Highness, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses are coming back soon, and the sentinel cavalry has reported that they have been out of food for five or six days, and there has been a situation where the fugitives have been caught by us in the south, and at most it will be a few days before the soldiers are pressed into the realm and the troops are short-handed." Mi Fang was a little angry, he was so nervous that it was really hard to think that Ma Qing was still like a nobody, "We don't want to have some other way, such as asking General Gan in Jiangdong to provide us with some military assistance?" ”
"Do you think that Jiangdong is an elite soldier and we are a new soldier, so it must be us who loses?" Ma Qing lightly took the saber off the wall and hung it on his waist, and asked while buttoning his pocket: "Do you think that tens of thousands of Qingliang soldiers to suppress Jiangdong are not only enough but also surplus to aid us?" ”
"Do you think that I, the son of the Liang Kingdom, grew up in the deep palace of brocade clothes and jade food?"
"I'm telling you, you're wrong, ridiculously wrong!" Ma Qing turned his head and said with joy and anger on his face: "I was born in the coldest winter in Liangzhou, no one thought that I would survive, not only did I survive, but I was also the strongest young man in Liangguo!" My father was fighting outside, and Ma entered Longdu Academy at the age of four to learn military and military strategy, and everyone thought I couldn't hold on, but I not only persevered, but also won the first three subjects! When I first came to the battle array, everyone thought that I was just fighting under the protection of General Xu, but I won the first battle and killed Zang Ba and fled to collect four cities in a row! ”
"Maybe you only saw me being killed by Zhou Tai in Pengze Lake and defeated, but I have to tell you, I'm not as useless as you think, and these soldiers are not as useless as you think!" Ma Qing opened the map on several cases with a cold face, and he wanted to tell Mi Fang why he firmly believed that they would win, because Mi Fang was a general and the commander of the Mi family's soldiers, if the generals didn't believe that the war could be won, they would have lost before it started.
"Even if you think of me like this, Sun Ce, who is known as the little overlord, must be even more arrogant, otherwise he will not stay until the grain is exhausted and not retreat, because he firmly believes that even with a tired army, he can defeat me, a nobody!" Ma Qing straightened his head, his meticulous habit was inherited from his father, pointed to the location of Sun Cetun's soldiers on the map and said: "Now, his soldiers and horses have deserted, indicating that morale is low, even if he withdraws now, it will take five days to get here, but it is conceivable that after five days, we will face a group of fierce troops who are determined to return to Jiangdong!" ”
"They are fierce because they are hungry and will defeat us with the only will they have left...... The battle at the beginning must have been very fierce, but! Ma Qing said confidently: "These days, I teach the soldiers, not to make them elite soldiers, but to give them morale, our morale is high, and many of the soldiers have learned how to use shields, as long as our formation is stable, the formation is not chaotic, the Jiangdong army has exhausted its strength, they can't see the hope of victory, what will happen?" ”
"Victory will definitely belong to me, not only victory, but also the head of the Jiangdong Xiaobawang...... That will be the most shining feat of Ma Mou's life! ”
