The fire in Chang'an was extinguished by the night of the next day, four large camps were burned to charcoals, and countless Han troops fled. However, in half a day, the banner of the city was changed, and Chang'an City returned to the banner of Ma Yue on the second day after the retreat of the troops to Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shu's army was burned by a fire this time, Ma Dai was also rescued, and the situation developed on the good side, for Ma Yue, Yuan Shu's entry into Sanfu from Yizhou still caused immeasurable losses to his war situation. The military camp in Chang'an City was destroyed by fire, and although it did not cause any damage to the people other than fright, it still damaged Ma Yue's prestige in Chang'an. Similarly, the area of Huayin and Tsukasa Lingshan, which had been ceded for fear of being attacked by the enemy, had been stationed by Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, and the battle line had been moved from Tongguan to Huaxian and even Weinan due to the influence of Yuan Shu.

The worse battle situation was that the battle of crossing the river in the north and Gaolan had ended, and Guan Yu killed and wounded more than 1,000 enemy troops to the maximum, and then retreated to Linjin.

Fighting in both directions across Weishui, Yuan Shao was also generous.

Ma Yuetun Weinan, Yuan Shao sent Wen Chou to lead the mountain under the mound, Yan Liang supervised the army in Linhua County, layer by layer protection, scouts and horses defended the entire terrain without leaking, and even the envoys of the wood-splitting courtyard were difficult to find out the situation. Ma Yue's troops stationed in Weinan also tore the front, set up a company camp on the east bank of Bashui as far as Lantian Valley, and even prepared to arrange a shrinking defense line to garrison the city of Weinan at any time, and all forty heavy ballista carts were set up at the head of the city.

The two armies fell into a long-term confrontation, and Ma Yue had a good premonition in his heart that there would be a big battle to be fought between him and Yuan Shao in Weinan.

……

Liangzhou, a warrior of Hanyang County.

This piece of land adjacent to the Great and Small Elm Valley has made the people miserable since it was placed under the rule of Li Zhan, the captain of Liangzhou. The reason lies in the regular army of Liangzhou who followed Li Zhan from a group of horse bandits. These people are uncontrollable, they are powerful in this place, seizing the fertile land and taking the ** women, but they have the fastest horses and the most brave warriors in Liangzhou, so that both the powerful and the common people dare to be angry and dare not speak.

However, since the Qinwang War between Liangzhou and Sanfu, the horse bandits here have become more and more uneasy, which has made the people's lives a lot more stable.

There was only one reason for the disturbance of the horse bandits, and their leader, Li Zhan, the captain of Liangzhou, had never returned since he went to Zhangjiachuan to congratulate the Zhou Mu on giving birth.

At first, the horse bandits were not in a hurry, after all, in the cold winter, the road may be blocked, and no one thinks about other places.

It wasn't until the beginning of spring that Li Zhan hadn't returned, which made them panic.

It's a big deal.

Li Zhan's subordinates went to various places to inquire about the lieutenants that Li Zhan was familiar with, but the reply they received was that Li Zhan had left Zhangjiachuan. This is even more frightening, the dignified Liangzhou lieutenant was the leader of the horse bandits from the time of the Liangzhou chaos, the ruler of Liangzhou has changed countless times, he is fine, how could he disappear for no reason in this situation?

After many inquiries, they learned that on the eve of Li Zhan's departure from Zhangjiachuan, there was a conversation in the mansion of Ma Teng, the lord of Liangzhou, and that Li Zhan had offended Ma Yue.

This is simply big bad news, and it would be too easy for Ma Yue to kill Li Zhan.

Although there is no evidence that Ma Yue did such a thing, it is inevitable that Li Zhan's old department will have bad associations.

In June, soldiers and horses from Pingxiang, Anding County, settled in the warriors, and the leading captain was named Ma Wan.

"Brother Li treated me well before, but now he doesn't know where others are, so I asked the general to be stationed in the warriors to find a way out for my brothers." In the camp of Li Zhan's old department, Ma Yu said to more than 400 horse bandits: "At present, the whole Liangzhou is searching for Brother Li's whereabouts, and if you want to see people alive or dead, you will definitely be able to find Brother Li's whereabouts soon." ”

Saying that, Ma Yu gestured to his subordinates, and a group of Xiangping soldiers came to reward the army with carts of Liangzhou wine and meat, and a group of horse bandits also heard a lot about the famous Ma Lieutenant who burned Yan Wu, and what else would they think in their hearts, and they immediately feasted on drinking and eating meat. even found a woman from a good family from the city to accompany her, and she was very domineering.

Ma Yu just watched them drink and eat meat with a smile on the sidelines, thinking about his little Jiujiu in his heart.

'Drink, drink, drink too much and get on the road!' ’

Ma Yu looked at these vicious horse bandits, although he was very affectionate in his words, and told them more than once that he admired the heroes and heroes of martial arts, and hoped to take them under his command. But in fact, I was disgusted with these people in my heart, and I wanted to immediately send an order to my subordinates to kill them all.

As soon as he saw these people, Ma Yu thought of Li Zhan's domineering appearance when he threw the sharp knife on several cases that day. No one dared to show a knife in front of him, this time it was Ma Yue who struck first, even if Ma Yue didn't do it, he would wait for an opportunity to kill Li Zhan in the back.

Fuck, something!

There are too many reasons to kill Li Zhan, and among those reasons, dealing with threats for Ma Yue is only a small part. These people and Li Zhan sat on the fertile land between the elm valleys, and these horse bandits each had a huge amount of money, and these alone were enough to make the horses play.

Kill them, the fertile 300 hectares of land will be in Lao Tzu's pocket!

Three hundred hectares of land means more money, more food, more armor, and more warriors who follow him!

The horses left the camp in the middle of the night, leaving the drunken bandits noisy. Their cries could be heard even late at night under the night sky of the steppe.

Three hours after he left the camp, at dawn, a few sneaky men sneaked into the camp in disguise, looked around at the drunks lying in the camp, and then left the camp quietly.

Outside, more than a thousand soldiers and horses had surrounded the entire camp, and the torches reflected the expressionless face of Ma Toy, and asked, "How is it, how is it in the camp?" ”

"Back to the captain, those people are all drunk and unconscious, and there is not a drop of wine left."

Ma Yu nodded slightly, "It's good to be drunk, but I don't know how much it hurts when I'm drunk." Let the brethren do it, and behead them all, so that if a person has no head, he will not have to distinguish whether he is dead or not. ”

With the order of the horses, the whirlwind cavalry stationed their horses outside the camp gate, turned over and walked to the camp with their battle axes, and began a terrible killing.

The dazed horse bandit felt that someone had spilled wine on his face, and in his sleepiness, he reached out and wiped it on his face, turned over and continued to sleep, but heard a slight noise. He muttered two words unconsciously, and then he frowned impatiently and opened his eyes, only to see a picture that shocked him inexplicably...... A black-armored warrior was raising a razor-sharp battle axe, which landed on the neck of his robed brother.

"Ahh He sat up suddenly, but before he could draw his saber, he was kicked down from behind, and his back was trampled on tightly, and he could not use all his strength, so he could only open his hands and dig into the ground indiscriminately, and his face was trampled into the mud.

With a bang, there was no more sound in the world.

Ma Play's subordinates kicked away the separated body of the corpse, and his face did not change color at all, and continued to carry the axe to find the next dead ghost.

Send them on their way!

Outside the horse camp, he yawned tiredly as he watched the whitening sky, and let out two grunts in his belly, he took out the water bladder from the horse's hip sac and drank two sips, drew the short sword at his waist, turned over and got off the horse's back and walked into the camp.

The horse bandits in the camp had been dealt with by his men, with severed limbs and severed limbs everywhere, blood seeping deep into the ground, and no one could escape drunken death except for a few who resisted drunken and had a brief fight with his men.

The horse kicked his head off his feet, bent down and rummaged on the ground, stabbing his sword between the necks of a fish that had slipped through the net, and looked for something to eat by the campfire.

Eventually, he found a leg of lamb on the bonfire, roasted it over the fire, found some leftover wine from the jar next to it, pulled the two corpses on top of each other, and sat on them with his legs crossed.

The slaughter continued, and the horse was playing with relish, and the last of the wine poured into his throat again, he hiccuped and smiled contentedly as he looked at the corpse-strewn camp.

Warriors, from today onwards, it is no longer Li Zhan's.

Li Zhan, you died in such a timely manner.

After having eaten and drunk, and throwing away a piece of sheep's bone, the horse playfully said, "It's almost enough, clean the camp, and move everything that can be used and valuable!" ”

The cleaning of the battlefield began, and in the blood all over the ground, the Liangzhou army rummaged through the only remaining property on the body of each enemy with a different head, took off the broken armor, and took all the weapons aside. Ransacked the camp by rummaging through the cabinets.

They are Liangzhou soldiers and horses, cleaning the battlefield and snatching the profits of war have done this kind of thing no less than a hundred times, each of them is familiar with the road, and they are almost the first to reach out to the horse bandits where to put their money on their bodies.

"Alright, fetch the oil!"

The sergeants guarding outside the camp carried cans of fire oil and poured them on the tents, corpses, and flammable wooden fences in the camp, but half a column of incense poured the whole camp with fire oil before dawn. Ma Yu inserted the short sword back under his ribs, walked out of the camp step by step with his hands behind his back, shook his head and said: "The envoy said that if the battle is over, if you don't clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses, it is easy to produce plague, so ah, give them a ride." ”

As soon as Ma Yu finished speaking, he had already taken a torch from his subordinate and threw it into the camp without looking back.

Fire, the blazing flames reflected on the hideous and crazy face of the horse play.

From today on, the name of Li Zhan, the famous Liangdi bandit, will never appear in this world again, and no one will remember him again.

In the next few days, the entire warrior began a mighty and great clarity, all the fields, mansions, and even the maids and concubines under Li Zhan's name all changed hands, and everything became the private property of Ma Wan.

The first thing Ma Yu did after mastering the mountain of property was to purchase 2,000 battle axes and 300 sets of armor from the Zhangjiachuan Iron Smelting Division for a large amount of money.

This is not the only thing to do, since the Liangzhou armored army first showed its hideous face in front of the generals of Liangzhou, every general in central Sichuan is proud of the armor produced by the ironmaking division, and they all want to form a strong combat force.

After this merger, Ma Play became the strongest small prince of Liangdi soldiers and horses, the first person worthy of the name Ma Yue, holding half of the soldiers and horses of Anding County.
