Seeing the Huns retreating, Chen Cheng did not chase after him, but ordered to treat his own wounded and interrogate the Huns who were abandoned in place. In the battle just now, the guards killed four people, all of whom were killed by the Hun cavalry after being knocked off their horses. In addition, more than a dozen people were injured to varying degrees.

After Chen Cheng saw his own casualties, he said in his heart: Even with the strength of the guards, it is a little reluctant to deal with ten times the number of cavalry. If the Huns hadn't collapsed on their own, perhaps more than half of them would have suffered casualties in the end. It might be better if you dragged the enemy to guerrilla.

Although the guards had the best armor of their time, they could still take serious damage if they were hit on horseback at high speeds. If the fight continues, even if the man can bear it, the horse will fall. Even if it was him, it was impossible to fight against several times the cavalry without horses.

After interrogation, Chen Cheng figured out that these Huns were Yu Fuluo's subordinates, and also knew that the Huns crossed the Yellow River in a big way, and a total of 40,000 troops followed Dong Zhuo to Guanzhong. After the questioning, Zhao Si asked, "Lord, what should I do with these people?" Do you want to kill them? ”

Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "I have already said before, as long as they answer the questions honestly, they will be released, so naturally they can't be untrustworthy." ”

The blood on the head of the Huns kneeling on the ground had already coagulated, and when they heard this, they kowtowed like pounding garlic, and pleaded: "General Shenweitian, we have told you everything we know, so let us go!" ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "Leave the weapons and horses, get out!" ”

"This ........"

The Huns are nomadic people, they have no horses, do they have weapons, and this is not eaten by the surrounding Han people? But it was already an accident to be able to pick up a life, and the Huns looked at each other, and then helped each other to leave.

Chen Cheng said: "We will return to the camp immediately, so as not to attract more enemies." ”

Liu Qian had just gone through another fight, and the whole person looked murderous, she rushed in the direction of the village and asked, "Then what should they do?" If the Huns were to kill them in a big way, the wall would not be able to resist it! ”

Chen Cheng said: "There is no way, it can only depend on their own creation." All we can do is defeat Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, and then kill the Huns! ”

This time they had only taken a hundred horsemen with them, and could not stay outside for long, so they quickly retreated in the direction of the camp with the wounded and captured horses. The Huns left a lot of things on the battlefield, but except for horses, nothing else was worth much. Those broken weapons, leather armor and so on, the guards couldn't look at them, so they threw them in place.

When they had left, the village soldiers rushed out and picked up the dead horses and all the things left on the ground. Chen Cheng: What they don't look down on, but it is very useful to the people. Dead horses can be eaten, leather armor, fur and whatever, washed and worn as clothes, even those broken weapons can be melted to make farm tools or other things.

In short, for ordinary people, even a thread is useful.

On the way back, Chen Cheng took his subordinates around several times, jumped out of the encirclement of the Huns who rushed over without danger, and returned to the camp smoothly. In the following days, while the Xiliang army continued to strengthen the large camp, it engaged in skirmishes between the cavalry and Dong Zhuo's army in the surroundings.

Within thirty miles of the camp, the Xiliang army was invincible. Thirty miles away, it was half the winner. Although the cavalry of the Western Liang Army is elite and numerous, the number of cavalry under Dong Zhuo is also quite large. When encountering in the field, most of the people first assess the situation, go up to take advantage of the situation if they can fight, withdraw if the situation is not right, and then summon friendly troops to come over.

When Yang Qiu on the left and Cheng Yi on the right regained a lot of cities, Dong Zhuo's main force had also gathered in the middle lane, that is, the position between Xia Tai and Huayin. Before, Dong Zhuo said that Lu Bu would not use troops, gather 100,000 troops together, and defeat them at one time, but he had no good way to gather troops.

The cavalry of the Xiliang Army was very brave, especially the hundreds of iron cavalry led by Chen Cheng, who brought the words "coming and going like the wind" and "aggression like fire" to the limit.

Later, as soon as the Huns saw Gollum, they immediately fled, making it impossible for people to chase him. Dong Zhuo hated this situation so much that his teeth itched, and he also somewhat understood why Lu Bu wanted to gather the main forces and then go to a decisive battle with the Xiliang army. It's really that the Xiliang cavalry is too much of a headache, if it continues to be consumed, the light cavalry in his hands will die, and the morale will collapse first.

Li Ru comforted Dong Zhuo and said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, now that our army has secretly taken all the pieces, we will be able to cross Xiaqi City tomorrow and kill the Xiliang thief by surprise!" Xiliang has only 50,000 soldiers, no matter how good he is, how can he deal with the opponent of our army of more than 100,000? ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Tomorrow's battle is very important, whether we can gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong depends on the next few days!" I'm going to bring all the generals and defeat the thief in one fell swoop!" ”

When Dong Zhuojun was carrying out the final mobilization, Chen Cheng also summoned the generals under his command and said, "General Yang Qiu and General Cheng Yi are making rapid progress and have recovered many cities. Now Dong Zhuo's main forces have arrived more than ten miles east of Xiaqi, and it is estimated that they will be killed tomorrow. ”

Hearing this news, the generals in the tent not only did not be afraid, but all showed expressions of excitement and eagerness. Everyone knows that the imperial court is now too busy to take care of itself, and the only one who can pose a threat to the Xiliang army is the Dong Zhuo group entrenched in the eastern part of Guanzhong. As long as Dong Zhuo is defeated, he will be able to complete the central land, and then go east out of Tongguan and occupy Luoyang, then he will be able to make immortal achievements!

The lord can go further, and these people can also rise to the top!

Ma Chao even shouted on the spot: "I must take off Dong Zhuo's head and dedicate it to the lord!" ”

Ma Mengqi is very arrogant, and he has always been unconvinced by Chen Cheng before, but ......... Ahem, no matter how strong the horse is, it can't carry a good rider. Others may not be able to control this fierce horse, but Chen Cheng is stronger than him. All-round, whether it is martial arts or fame, or something else, is completely crushed. Ma Chao is not very old, it was when his outlook on life and worldview was formed, and he was hit a lot, so he calmly admitted the gap between himself and Chen Cheng.

In the face of inhuman existence, he is as arrogant as Ma Chao, and he can only say aggrievedly, "If you are born super, how can you be sincere?" ”

And after getting along for a period of time, Chen Cheng felt that although Ma Chao was short-tempered and reckless, he was strong in martial arts, and more importantly, he had a strong spirit, if he used it well, he would be a good horse!

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "If you can really take down Dong Zhuo's head, I will make you a county guard!" ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Is this true? ”

His father Ma Teng is just a stable guard, if he can do the county guard, Ma Chao will be satisfied. Now Ma Teng attaches more importance to Ma Tie and regards him as the heir of the Ma family. Ma Chao was very angry about this, thinking that he was the eldest son, even if his mother was a Qiang, so what? Why can't you inherit everything from the Ma family?

But if he relied on his own ability to become a county guard, then why should he be angry with his father and brothers at home?

Ma Teng watched coldly from the sidelines, with delicate feelings in his heart. Of course, he knew Ma Chao's thoughts, and he also knew that Ma Chao's martial arts were outstanding, but who said that Ma Chao had half of the Qiang blood? Even among the Qiang people, they think that the Han people are more noble, and Ma Tie is more qualified to inherit everything from the Ma family.

If Ma Chao can stand on his own, Ma Teng will only be happy to see it.

Chen Cheng looked at Liang Xing, Pang De, Ma Teng, Wei Ran, Zhao Si, Liu Qian, Han Li and others in the tent, raised two fingers, and swore: "No matter who he is, as long as he cuts off Dong Zhuo's head, he will be promoted to one level!" If Meng Qi gets it, I will seal a county for you! ”

On this day, the Xiliang army stopped the operation of reinforcing the camp, and the cavalry that was put outside to cover the battlefield was also withdrawn. Similarly, Dong Zhuo's light cavalry and rangers also took back a lot. On the boundary within a radius of 100 miles, it was suddenly a lot quieter, as if the hustle and bustle of the previous day had never existed.

But everyone knows that a decisive battle to determine the ownership of Guanzhong is about to break out on the edge of Weishui!

Just when the Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuojun were both deploying troops, there was also an undercurrent surging in Chang'an City. For some Guanzhong people, especially those civil and military officials and powerful people, Lu Bu is a monkey and a thief, and Chen Cheng is also a thief in Xiliang, which is not much better than the former.

It's just that the only one who can count on now is Chen Cheng, a thief in Xiliang, but compared to Lu Bu and Dong Zhuolai, Chen Cheng's military discipline is quite good, unlike the other two armies who like to rob the people.

Han Sui knew the thoughts of the officials in Chang'an City very clearly, he kept visiting the mansions of officials and heroes in the past few days, and others were very polite to him on the surface, but the contempt in secret could not be concealed. Han Sui secretly hated this in his heart, wasn't it because they were born in Xiliang? Why do we inherently suffer discrimination?

If it was placed in the time of Emperor Wu, the good sons of the six counties like them would be the main force in the army, and they would also be able to speak to national policies! I hate these scholars in Guanzhong, and regard their warriors in Xiliang as eagle dogs, and the sense of superiority in their words and demeanor seems to be overflowing.

On this day, he came to visit the former general Zhao Yun. Now the Xiliang Army has changed to a new military system, and the title of former general is temporarily sealed, and it is only used in wartime. Wait until the battle is over, and the title will be canceled.

Zhao Yun was stationed in Weiyang Palace, and when he heard that Han Sui was coming to visit, he pondered for a moment, put down the paperwork in his hand, and said to the left and right: "Please General Han come in." ”

After a pause, he said, "Invite the counselor Jia Xu to come over as well." ”

Yan Zhong wanted to stay in Liangzhou to supervise the transfer of grain and grass in the rear, and prepare to deal with other emergencies, so he had not yet come to Chang'an. Jia Xu was originally in charge of the ministry under the door, but now he has been promoted to a level and has been named a counselor, and he has just arrived in Chang'an to help deal with all kinds of chaotic affairs.
