The sun sets, the moon goes east and the moon goes west, and time flows away inadvertently, and then it becomes the past.

Zhao Yun led his army to the west at the turn of spring and summer, and in the autumn, news came that he took 8,000 tooth soldiers and 6,000 county soldiers to break the main force of the Wusun people at a place 400 miles west of Jiuquan, beheaded 5,000 people, captured more than 30,000 people, and captured 300,000 cattle, sheep and horses.

Later, he led the Wusun army to the city of Bo Chigu, and forced the king of Wusun to sign an alliance under the city. After this battle, the Western Regions were shaken, and the people of Diyi regained the name of China.

Ma Yunlu's face showed joy and asked, "Since you have won the battle, are you going to come back?" ”

Liu Qian glanced at her and continued to read the content of the "Yinchuan Daily". It is said that it is a daily newspaper, but in fact, it only comes out every three or five days, and it can be published six or seven times a month. There are often some government edicts on it, and then there are some myths and monsters. Recently, a man named Wu Chengen serialized an article "Journey to the West" in the newspaper, which attracted Yinchuan paper.

“........ The reconquest of the Cheshi, Loulan and other countries were all broken, and the countries sent envoys to the .........."

Ma Yunlu said eagerly: "Oh, don't read it, I'll ask you when they will come back!" ”

Liu Qian threw the newspaper on the ground and laughed: "What, I can't help it?" ”

Ma Yunlu's face was crimson, her nose and ears seemed to be emitting white smoke, and she stammered: "Patience.... Can't help but what? It's so boring that I'm home alone....... Yes, it's just boring! ”

"Hmph," Liu Qian grabbed the silk cloth and wiped the horizontal knife brightly, "Those cows and horses, we haven't seen them before, what else are you pretending?" ”

"Can that be the same?" Ma Yunlu retorted: "It's obviously different from people! ”

Liu Qian wiped the horizontal knife for a while, but she couldn't calm down in her heart, she hatefully put the silk cloth on the table, pursed her lips and said: "General Zhao, they won't be able to come back this year, the newspapers have said that they will establish the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions, and after the spring next year, the class will return to the court." ”

Ma Yunlu said: "The things in the newspaper are all for people outside, and they can't be done accurately!" Didn't you hear Chen Yuanjun say something else? ”

Liu Qian became a little vigilant and asked, "Who told you this?" ”

"Phew, who told me what?" Ma Yunlu said triumphantly: "Couldn't it be that I thought of it myself?" ”

"Of the three of us, you don't like to use your brain the most, and you have the lowest score in every exam!" Liu Qian turned her head and asked Zi Jia'er, who was giggling on the side, and asked, "Did you say that?" ”

Zi Jia'er didn't expect the war to burn on her, she was stunned, and said hesitantly: "This ......."

"Hmph, even if I'm the stupidest," Ma Yunlu came up and took Liu Qian's hand and shook it, "Just tell me, is there any top-secret information or something." ”

Liu Qian opened her hand angrily and said angrily: "You know that it is top-secret information, and you still want me to tell you?" Don't you know the law of martial arts? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't ask what you shouldn't. Otherwise, for the sake of General Zhao and your grandfather, Master may not kill you, but others will lose their heads. ”

Ma Yunlu thought of the harsh military law, so he obediently closed his mouth. But after a while she couldn't sit still and exclaimed, "What's the point of reading here?" Let's go horseback riding! ”

Ma Teng is a Han from Huhua, his first wife was a Qiang man, and he gave birth to his eldest son, Ma Chao. Later, after he developed, he married a Han woman and gave birth to Ma Xiu and Ma Tie. In such a family where Hu Feng is prevalent, it is naturally impossible to raise everyone's ladies.

Ma Yunlu has liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, although his martial arts are not as good as his brother Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, but he can still compare with Liu Qian. Of course, in the long run, Liu Qian's potential is stronger than her.

Hearing that she was going to go horseback riding, Liu Qian was a little moved, she looked at the sky, and saw that the weather didn't want to rain, so she agreed. They led their horses, and under the escort of the tooth soldiers, they went straight out of the west gate. To the west is Helan Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles, the tall mountain blocks the cold air current, and the grassland at the foot of Helan Mountain is very lush, and you can see a lot of cattle and sheep leisurely grazing on the grass from a distance.

As soon as they went out of the city gate, two heralds outside the east gate rushed into the city gate with flags on their backs.

"Hey, why did Tanma run so fast? Could it be that something is wrong? ”

"What else could be a big deal? It must be which country in the Western Regions that General Zhao has broken through. ”

"Are you stupid, if the news comes from the Western Regions, if you don't go through the West Gate, you will go through the South Gate, how can you go through the East Gate?"

"You're stupid, your whole family is stupid!"

"you!"

The two arguing stared at each other and cursed each other for a while, but after all, they didn't make a move. Now the black-skinned dogs with white leggings are much wider. If the brawl is caught, at least will be sent to the mine to work as a coolie for a few days. This is still the treatment that only Chinese have, if it looks like a Hu person, it may be a year and a half, and Hu people are different from Chinese, often very discriminated against, even if they have money, it is not necessarily good.

After Yan Zhong of Shangshu Province got the news, he pondered for a while, and then sent someone to inform Jia Xu of the matter in Menxia Province, and then he took the paper himself to Chen Cheng's mansion. Chen Cheng has some free time these days, painting in the house, drinking tea, and teasing dogs.

As the lord of a state, there are people below who flatter. After revealing the idea of raising a few dogs, someone soon sent four freshly weaned earth dogs over. The four earth dogs were all only the size of a palm, and they were still a little recognizable when they first arrived, but after Chen Cheng fed them twice, they became active.

Two of them are spotted, one is black, and one is earthy yellow. The stomachs of the four puppies were all sideways, and at this time, they followed Chen Cheng's footsteps and ran around in the backyard. Yan Zhong hurriedly walked in, stood still under the eaves, and said loudly: "Junhou, General Xu Rong has urgent news coming!" ”

Chen Cheng stepped out in a few steps, walked over slowly, took the military report in Yan Zhong's hand, glanced at it a few times, and said, "Isn't it expected by Bo Dao?" ”

Yan Zhong said with a smile: "I just said that there is such a possibility, but I didn't expect that Lu Bu really planned to join Dong Zhuo to attack us." In addition to this military report, General Xu Rong also sent an encrypted urgent letter, and the prince could guess what was written in it? ”

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it the Huns or the Xianbei people in Mobei who have made any changes?" ”

It was the first time the four earth dogs had seen Yan Zhong, and they all made threatening sounds at him at this time. Yan Zhong was about to fight, and the four puppies were startled, and ran behind Chen Cheng with a whimper.

"It's not."

"Xu Rong is in charge of Wuyuan, Shangjun, if the news he sent has nothing to do with the Huns and Xianbei, then what else can it be?"

Chen Cheng said: "I don't bother to guess, Bodao, you just say it directly." ”

Yan Zhong smiled and said, "Li Ru sent someone to deliver the news to Xu Rong, saying that Lu Bu wants to unite them to attack us together after the autumn. ”

“.......”

What's going on! Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Dong Zhuo, does this want Lu Bu to attract our attention, or does he want us to attract Lu Bu's attention?" ”

"Guanzhong is close to Bingzhou, and Liangzhou is far away from Bingzhou, so Dong Zhuo probably wants us to attract Lu Bu's attention."

"Lu Bu is not stupid, how can he not be defensive against Dong Zhuo at all? If he transferred the main force to attack Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo wouldn't copy his hometown? ”

Yan Zhong laughed and said, "So Dong Zhuo is not secretly communicating with us?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Yan Zhong stroked his beard and said, "What Dong Zhuo means is that he first pretended to attack Shangjun and Wuyuan. Seeing that Bingzhou sent troops, Lu Bu would not have any worries, so that he could rest assured that he would send troops to Xiliang, and then Dong Zhongying could take the opportunity to attack Guanzhong. ”

"Even if there is no Dong Zhuo, won't Lu Bu worry about the imperial court? The soldiers and horses in He Jin's hands are still very strong. ”

"Didn't the prince read the recent military report?"

"Well, the military report sent by Menxia Province is not very urgent, so I will put it away first, and I will read it tomorrow. What's wrong? ”

Yan Zhong said: "Yuan Shu's army went to attack Yingchuan, Ji Ling, Li Feng and others dragged the enemy's main force in the front, and then sent Sun Jian to flank He Jinjun with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the imperial court soldiers and horses were defeated, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded. He Jin is now unable to protect himself, and Yingchuan has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu again. ”

"What about the losses of the Northern Army?"

"I don't know about this for the time being, but I heard that He Jin transferred a large part of his troops and horses to deal with Cao Mengde in Dongjun, and probably the northern army was also transferred."

From Luoyang to Dongjun, it is basically lined up along the Yellow River. Now that Yingchuan County has been captured by Yuan Shu, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court may be cut off from it at any time. Chen Cheng thought about the terrain of the Central Plains for a moment and said, "Has Yuan Shu already captured the Tiger Prison Pass?" ”

"We'll find out in a few days."

While he was talking, Jia Xu had already arrived. As soon as he came in, he saluted Chen Cheng first, then Yan Zhong, and then asked, "I don't know what happened when Yan Shangshu summoned me?" ”

General Chen Cheng handed him the report and said, "Lu Bu secretly united Dong Zhuo and wanted to attack our Liangzhou together. Dong Zhuo ostensibly agreed to Lu Bu's proposal, and when he turned his head, he wanted to join forces with us to kill Lu Bu, and then divide Guanzhong equally. ”

General Jia Xu took the newspaper and read it again, and it was written that Guanzhong and Bingzhou were hoarding grain and grass and had the intention of using troops abroad, and he also specially wrote that the prices of grain and cloth in the two places had risen a lot in just half a month.

He pondered for a while and asked, "General Han Sui is in Chang'an, does he have any news back?" ”

Yan Zhong and Chen Cheng glanced at each other, and then said with a smile: "Why does Wen He knowingly ask? What news can Han Wen send back when he asks to go to Guanzhong? It's just some nonsense. ”

Jia Xu said: "Now that General Zhao Yun is leading his troops outside, if Guanzhong and Bingzhou come to attack together, we will be somewhat passive." Although Dong Zhuo secretly communicates with us, it can really become fake, and fake can also become real. ”

Yan Zhong snorted and said: "Dong Zhuo's use of troops is not as far away as Huangfu Song, we are not even afraid of Huangfu Song, how can we be afraid of just one Dong Zhongying?" ”
