Sun Jian watched helplessly as Ma Yue led the remnants of the defeated army to board the road, and a big battle ended hastily, and the entire Henan Yin fell into the hands of the Qin Wang army.

With the retreat of the auxiliary generals to the north, the army of King Qin contained the defeated troops at the border of Henan, prepared grain and grass, built ordnance, and repaired in a few days before marching towards Luoyang, the imperial capital in the northwest. The Quartet explored the horses and galloped constantly, to report the situation of the war in the Central Plains, and the eyes of the whole world were firmly fixed on the land of Sili, always paying attention to the progress of the war.

Ma Yue crossed the river and sunk all the boats, and led nearly a thousand remnants to run out of the five miles without stopping, before he dared to send soldiers into the forest to hunt and set up camp on the meadow.

"General, where are we going now?" Gan Ning has been mixed in the southeast coast all the year round, and he has no understanding of Luoyang, and he has just crossed a big river that is a little wider than the Yangtze River in a small boat, and he has a feeling of restlessness, and he still has some unfinished feelings while sitting on the grass, and he stretched out his hand to peel off the grass blades on the ground and smiled: "I have never been here." ”

Guan Yu and the others were bandaging Ma Yue's wounds, and when they heard this, they said to Gan Ning: "Crossing the Yellow River is the boundary of the inner part of the river, and the Taishou here is Wang Kuang, let's go south through Hanoi County and return to Mengjin Ferry." ”

The medicine powder was sprinkled on the shoulder and stabbed the wound, Ma Yue frowned in pain, and after a long time he stretched it out, took out the old sheepskin from his arms and put it on the ground and pointed and said, "Let's be in this position now......"

Before the words fell, a released scout cavalry galloped over, riding their horses and shouting loudly: "General, go, go!" ”

Gan Ning's eyes were equal, and he fixed his eyes to see that there were several arrows stuck behind the rider a hundred paces away, and the rider was coughing up blood one by one under the bump on the horse's back. "General, there are enemies!"

Where does Ma Yue still look like a general now, 5,000 people are fleeing from the dead, and in the end, there are only more than 900 horsemen left around him plus more than 100 foot soldiers scattered around. As soon as he heard that there was an enemy, he ignored the bandages around his body, and put his hand on his body, and strode forward while fastening his armor buckle, and when the rider came near, he hurriedly asked, "How many enemies are there, and where are they?" ”

"Return, return to General, there are countless enemy troops in the eastern mountains." The scout was hit by several arrows, and he was already taken off his horse by the robe, and said intermittently: "Under the banner of Jizhou Assassin Shi Han Fu, the longbow and armor are complete, general, let's go!" ”

In the tone, there was countless despair. Those dirty men who came out of the woods didn't even hesitate when they saw the red armor on their bodies, they opened their bows and shot, the arrows seemed to be as if they didn't want money, and the scout team of more than ten people had more than 100 arrows splashed over, if they didn't stand behind, where could this little life be saved?

It is clear that Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, also fell to the rebels, is Wang Shi already so unpopular?

Ma Yue's fists were clenched, and he dared to raise troops at this time, and he was in a hurry, his mind was dizzy and he almost fainted, and he took two deep breaths before waving his hand and said: "Withdraw, retreat west, sooner or later I will fight back!" ”

Who would have thought that the assassin Shi Taishou who had been sealed out would all go home in a hurry to recruit troops and prepare for war, and then turn around and attack Luoyang?

More than 1,000 soldiers hurriedly turned over their horses after hearing the order, the scouts went first, and the rest of the people rushed into the forest to recall the sergeants who were hunting around.

The rider galloped into the forest, and after a while he found most of the soldiers, many of whom still had some gains, and seeing the smoke and dust rising in the east, Ma Yue hurriedly ordered him to retreat...... This retreat once again lost more than 100 robes.

Nine hundred cavalry skimmed Jishui did not dare to stop for a while, looking at a city from a distance, Ma Yue knew that it was a small city called Li Cheng, but he did not dare to lead the army to knock on the door, that night, nine hundred Han cavalry camped at the mouth of the Yellow River, looking at the people settlement by the ferry in the distance, silent.

……

The black mountain thieves entrenched in Jizhou were assassinated Shi Zhao'an, and several bandits who received the rank of captain marched westward, straight to the throat of the Sanhe region, they were not as noble as the scholars thought, this time the troops were completely to avenge a little personal vendetta to the enemy Ma Yue, most of the thoughts were with the belief of beating the water dogs, and more of them were plundered everywhere they passed.

Snatching is the nature of bandits.

Although Ma Yue was embarrassed all the way, after all, there was no danger, but he ran to Yewang but experienced a greater crisis than the pursuit, Yewang County has become an empty city, ten rooms and nine empty, there are no defenders on the city gate, the soldiers and soldiers have a miserable life these days, and Ma Yue had to lead the army into the city with courage, who knows that the streets and houses are all empty, and the entire county is like a dead place without life.

The fighting men who licked the blood at the knife edge didn't want to be so much, and as soon as they entered the city, they scattered to plunder the city.

What is even more frightening is that every house is covered with white flags, many corpses are covered with black cloth and left unattended, and the streets are simply and clearly displayed, and there are not enough coffin boards, where are the belongings?

"General, I'm afraid this city is plagued."

Pestilence!

In these years, the plague is not an insignificant disease, and if there is no doctor who understands this disease, the evil spirit will definitely die when it enters the body, and the disease can only wait for death, but any city that has suffered from the plague will become an empty city in less than two months.

And now, Ma Yue actually led the remnants into this city that had long been swept away by the plague.

"Everyone get out of the city the way they came, don't take anything, get out of the city!"

The order was conveyed layer by level, and in the end, it was forbidden by the elite soldiers of the imperial capital, but in half an hour, the riders scattered in the city galloped out of the city and assembled three miles outside the city.

Ma Yue raised his eyebrows and coldly ordered several captains around him to monitor these fighting men one by one to see if there were any things that should not be taken. Ma Yue was not disappointed, and two hours later a pile of food, clothing, and countless things were piled up in the clearing, and Ma Yue burned it clean, and ordered him to continue his march westward.

Early the next morning, a dozen horsemen fell to the ground with pale faces, unable to get up.

Ma Yue's worst fears came when he ordered the wounded soldiers to be gathered together, and then ordered all the soldiers who had been in contact with them to boil their clothes in boiling water. He covered his face with a boiled black cloth and boldly walked to the sick camp.

"General, help, save us." The soldiers were obviously frightened, and when they saw Ma Yue approaching, one of them struggled to get up and grab Ma Yue's boots, but Ma Yue avoided him.

Shaking his head slowly, Ma Yue asked, "Did you leave anything behind?" ”

"No, General, it's just ...... I was just hungry and ate a bowl of boiled rice. ”

"I shouldn't have disobeyed the general, the general should save us."

The wails continued, some of the soldiers ate things they shouldn't eat, some were thirsty and drank a few wells, and some found some treasures and hid them.

Ma Yue didn't speak again, he was worried that they didn't take anything, and now it seemed that they might be the only ones in the whole army who were infected with the plague, and they had not yet shown symptoms after entering the city for a short time, which was enough to reassure him.

Leaving behind a little water and food, the sick robes were abandoned and left to fend for themselves in the barren mountains and mountains by their generals.

Without doctors, medicines, disinfection, and even food and clothing, it was impossible to keep the sick soldiers in the army, and Ma Yue could not take them home.

"General, you just left them behind?" Gan Ning was puzzled, Zhao Jin was even more anxious to jump up, and circled around Ma Yue and said: "General, you can't just leave the brothers like this, we are not far from home now, let's invite the best doctors in the world to come to Luoyang to see them, and we will definitely be able to save the lives of the brothers!" ”

Ma Yue shook his head expressionlessly, who knows how he felt in his heart?

"Absolutely not, general, now it is the army of the defeated army, and the return journey can rely on these brothers to fight with their lives, now Luoyang is close at hand, but you left your sick robe, doesn't it chill the hearts of the brothers? If you leave them behind today, more brothers will run away tomorrow, General, think again! ”

"Please think twice, General!"

A group of generals fought for a red face, and finally knelt on the ground all of a sudden, begging him to think again, I thought that Ma Yue's ears were soft and listened to it so much, how do you know that Ma Yue was extremely resolute this time, and turned his back directly to not look at them, this time, it was really chilling for the generals, when did Ma Yue become such a lone husband who could not listen to persuasion?

The silence of terror.

After a while, Ma Yue turned around, and Gan Ning unexpectedly found that Ma Yue's eyes were a little sparkling, and he didn't have time to ask questions before he heard Ma Yue say: "Why don't I want to take all the robes home?" But now don't talk about taking them home, I don't even dare to take you home! ”

"You must know how quickly the plague spreads, and a good man at the age of twenty can't get up the next day because he took a rag." Ma Yue said: "We have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, and the lives of millions of people in the important land of Gyeonggi, let's stay a mile away, and we must leave all the sick robes before we can leave." Don't look at me like that. Ma Yue pointed to the generals and said: "The sick soldier may be Yun Chang, Xingba, Hua Xiong, Zhao Jin, Gongming, or even me, all of us and others!" ”

"Whoever is sick, no one leaves here, no one! We can't bring the plague to Luoyang, even if it's me, I can't leave anyone, if we bring the plague to Luoyang, the world will be in chaos, and then we will be the sinners of the Han Dynasty! ”

As he spoke, Ma Yue bowed down to the generals, and when he raised his head, his face was already resolute, "All the princes are the humerus of the big man, and An can bring the epidemic to the world!" ”

The generals' faces were solemn, they no longer needed reinforcements, they were a cursed army.

No one can save them.

"Gather the whole army, let me tell the brothers......"
