In the palace of the capital, Liu Ze looked at Shi A and Liu Hu with a solemn face, Sima Hui gave up Xiangyang Academy and went out to travel, this person must have his own purpose, but what is he going to do? Liu Ze asked: "The Sima family is a special talent, can you send someone to follow them?" ”

Shi A hung his head and said: "My people followed Sima Hui to Luoyang, and then he lost it; The person who followed Sima Yi arrived in Wenxi County, Hedong County, and after this Sima Yi arrived at an inn, he was nowhere to be found. ”

Liu Hu continued: "The situation on my side is similar. ”

Liu Ze stood up and paced slowly in the hall, these two people are not simple, Ming Wei and Secret Guard made a move, but they were dumped by them, but what is their purpose? Liu Ze couldn't figure it out, so he asked the two to retreat and let people recruit Xun Yu.

Xun Yu listened to Liu Ze's words, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Sima Hui has been famous for many years and has a wide range of contacts. ”

Liu Ze said: "Sima Hui goes south and Sima Yi goes west, why don't these two uncles and nephews go together?" Could it be that they are trying to attack the west? ”

Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, although Sima and the others are hiding their whereabouts, it is not difficult to show them with the strength of the two guards. As long as people keep an eye on the key points of the counties of Dahan, the two of them will eventually appear. ”

Liu Ze said: "The peace of the Han Dynasty is not easy to come by, and at present, various places are in the ascendant, if there is a sudden storm, the people of Li will suffer." ”

Xun Yu said: "Jia Wenhe, Cheng Zhongde, Liu Ziyang, Guo Fengxiao, Xu Yuanzhi, Lu Zijing, and Zhuge Kongming are scattered all over the place, why don't the emperor write to them, you can pay attention to the two, and you can also ask about the strategy." ”

Liu Ze said: "Two people are short and three people are long, I will order it to be done, and Wen Ruo should also pay attention to the situation in the capital." ”

Xun Yu said: "The minister ordered the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise the hundred officials, and if anyone dares to make eye contact with the Sima family, they will be impeached immediately." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Don't make the city full of storms, it's better to act in secret." ”

Xun Yu said: "Yes, the minister retired." ”

Guo Jia's army came to the outside of Guishan City in Dawan Mansion, and the King of Dawan hurriedly greeted him, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Soldier and noble god, don't talk much to the king, I don't know if your country's soldiers and horses are ready?" ”

King Dawan said respectfully: "50,000 people and horses, ready to go." ”

Guo Jia said: "Okay, please transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses to follow General Cao Zhen to Kangju, and after converging Kangju's soldiers and horses, cross the Syr Darya River and go straight to Huazhuzimo." ”

King Dawan said: "I don't know how to dispatch the rest of the people? ”

Guo Jia said: "Follow the army on the expedition, and after entering Guishan, guard the safety of the army's grain route. ”

In the face of 150,000 Han troops, how dare King Dawan hesitate and hurriedly comply. Guo Jialing ordered the army to rest outside Guishan City for two days, and then drove to the border and began to dispatch troops.

"Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun obeyed the order, and ordered the two of you to take 30,000 horses each, cross Marakanda City, arrive at the Amu Darya River, and set up ambushes in the direction of Mulu City and Lan City respectively to block the reinforcements of the two cities."

The two of them received the order, ordered the men and horses, Guo Jia said: "Deng Ai listens to the order, give you 5,000 men and horses, bypass Marakanda, sneak carefully all the way, do not make the enemy perceive, lie in the west of Marakanda City, if it is a messenger in the city, you can let it go, if a large group of people and horses arrive, you must intercept and kill them all, can you be confident?" ”

Deng Ai said: "The end will definitely be completed. ”

Guo Jia smiled and said to Zhang Liao and Lu Bu: "Fengxian, Wenyuan, arrange men and horses, cross the border of Kushan, clear the road, and attack Marakanda with a large army. Meng Qi accompanied me to guard the Chinese army. ”

Zhang Liao and Lu Bu led the men and horses to kill directly towards Guishuang, and they were all shocked when they saw the army that suddenly appeared in the small city along the way. Zhang Liao and Lu Bubing divided into two roads, broke the city when they encountered it, and came to Marakanda without any obstacles all the way. At this time, Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun had just finished their preparations, and each led their men and horses, bypassing Marakanda, and marching quietly.

Douglas, the defender of Maracanda, had already received information about the entry of the Han army, and was about to raise troops out of the city, when smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and the armies of Zhang Liao and Lu Bu arrived. Douglas stood at the head of the city and looked out, saw the smoke and dust covering the sky and the sun, and secretly wondered, looking at this momentum, the Han army is no less than 30,000, and my army in the city is 50,000, with the city wall as the backing, the Han army can't afford to turn up much wind and waves. Douglas was appointed by Vesudeva I as the general of the border pass, and his ability was certainly not ordinary. Seeing this, he immediately ordered the whole city to mobilize and defend with all its might.

Zhang Liao and Lu Bu came to ten miles away from Marakanda, slowed down their pace, let the war horse rest their strength, Zhang Liao said to Lu Bu: "Wenhou, I will lead the men and horses to guard the enemy army in the city, how about you arrange for the people and horses to set up a village?" ”

Lu Bu smiled: "Wenyuan, it's still you who will arrange the establishment of the village, there has been no war for a long time, and Lao Tzu's bones are all hard." ”

Zhang Liao didn't dare to argue with this old boss, so he had to say: "Good, I will choose the terrain and set up camp." ”

Lu Bu led 10,000 horses, standing on a high place, paying attention to the movement in all directions.

Douglas saw that the Han army stopped, and the smoke and dust in the sky slowly fell, and hurriedly ordered the spies to go and check. Soon the spies reported that the Han army had set up camp ten miles away.

Douglas looked at the generals around him and said loudly: "The Han army has come from afar, and it is already tired, who dares to go out to battle and kill the spirit of the Han army?" ”

Xiao general Hu Weika shouted: "General, when I leave the city, I will kill these Han people, so that they will not dare to enter our country for half a step." ”

Douglas said: "Okay, I will give you 20,000 cavalry, kill the Han army leader, and bring me his head." ”

Hu Weika shouted the order, ordered 20,000 elite horsemen, opened the city gate, and rushed towards Lu Bu like a swarm.

Lu Bu saw the black oppressive soldiers and horses pouring out of the city, squinted his eyes, looked carefully, and saw that the enemy was full of cavalry, war horses, and soldiers were wrapped in armor, and the soldiers held high a long shuttle dart in their hands, and with a strange cry of 'ho ho' in their mouths, they lined up in a long dragon formation and killed them against their own side.

Lu Bu knew that this was the famous heavy cavalry of Guishan, if it was a frontal impact, his light cavalry was not an opponent, only by avoiding its edge and hitting its sides, could he avoid large casualties, but Zhang Liao in the rear was busy talking, if the enemy army was attacked, the Dazhai that had just erected the prototype would come to naught. Lu Bu has always been known for his hard work, since he came into contact with Xu Shu, he has also learned a lot of workarounds, plus Guo Jia discussed the enemy situation with his generals before the war, and discussed the countermeasures in advance, Lu Bu thought a little in his heart and had an idea.

Huvica has always been known for his bravery, and with Douglas, he conquered Huathornzimo, conquered Kangju and Dawan, and rarely met opponents. At this time, when he came to Lu Bu's approach, he saw the Han army sitting on their horses one by one, and they didn't mean to move, so they couldn't help laughing. The cavalry battle relies on the impact force, and if you don't move at such a close distance, can you sit and wait for our army to cut and kill?

Juvica was excited, and he raised the long shuttle dart in his hand and shouted, "Kill with me!" "One horse took the lead and killed the past, and the 20,000 cavalry behind him rushed straight to Lu Bu's army.

Seeing that the enemy army was less than five hundred paces away from his side, Lu Bu arranged a conical formation and said loudly: "Li Su and Cao Xing, each of you will lead 4,000 light cavalry to attack the enemy's two wings, remember, avoid frontal clashes, and kill and injure the enemy." ”

Cao Xing and Li Su agreed loudly, and the troops were ready to come out, and Lu Bu shouted: "The bed crossbow is aimed at the enemy's forward." ”

Hundreds of bed crossbows had already been lined up in front of the Han army, and with Lu Bu's order, the iron arrows roared out and rushed straight to the enemy. More than 100 Iron Arrows concentrated on attacking Huvika's forward troops, and the great power of Iron Arrows was vividly wielded, and the forward was severely defeated and stagnated.

At this moment, Li Su and Cao Xing's men and horses moved, marching from the flanks, and the crossbows in the hands of the soldiers began to be powerful, and ten arrows from one crossbow instantly formed the power of a storm. No matter how well-equipped the Kushan cavalry was, there was always a place on the body and the war horse that could not be protected, and in an instant, the men and horses were hit by arrows one after another, and the formation began to riot. At this time, Juvica was already in the middle of the formation, shouting loudly to stabilize the formation.

The crossbows of the Han army are equipped with arrow magazines, which can shoot ten arrows in one attack, and after shooting, take out a new arrow box and replace it. Eight thousand cavalry, one round of arrow rain is 80,000 arrows, two rounds down is 160,000, the other party is only 20,000 horses, and the result can be imagined by so many arrow rains.

Seeing that the enemy's formation was scattered and the momentum of the shock had been contained, Lu Bu roared and led a thousand men and horses to kill them.

The equipment of the generals of the Guishan Kingdom is similar to that of ordinary soldiers, but there is a difference in the helmet, Lu Bu, who is good at cutting generals, observed for a long time, and finally showed this clue, and saw that there was a big red pompom on Hu Weika's helmet, and this guy shouted and seemed to be commanding people. Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse sensed his master's intentions and headed straight for Huvica.

When Zhang Liao heard the sound of fighting, he immediately ordered to stop the camp and came with 20,000 horses.

Seeing that the formation in front of him was in chaos, a guy with a long bird feather on his head was unstoppable, and his own people did not block a round in his hands, he was furious in his heart, shouted loudly, and went straight to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was wielding Fang Tian's halberd to sweep the road, preparing to take the head of the enemy general, and when he caught a glimpse of the enemy general coming straight towards him, he was naturally overjoyed. Fang Tian's halberd was suddenly forced, and the enemy soldiers around him threw it out one after another, clearing out an empty field.

Hu Weika's shuttle dart weighed about fifty catties, and when he came to Lu Bu's approach, he couldn't help but stab it, and Lu Bu's halberd suddenly picked up and blocked the opponent's blow. Huvica's arms were shaken, trembling, and he said secretly: This person has a lot of strength.

Lu Bu didn't give Hu Weika a chance, the crescent shovel on the halberd swept towards his neck, Hu Weika raised the barrel of the gun, slammed outward, only to hear a loud sound, and the halberd was shaken open.

Lu Bu smiled: "You Guishan General, it's a bit interesting. ”

Hu Weika didn't understand what Lu Bu said, and thought that Lu Bu was scolding him, and he was talking nonsense in his mouth, of course, he scolded Lu Bu back.

Lu Bu looked at Hu Weika's expression, looking angry, knowing that he couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, he broke off his drink, drew the halberd faster, and circled around Hu Weika's body.

Lu Bu stopped his hand, Hu Weika's arms were still twisting back and forth, and his huge head was swinging from side to side, so it wasn't funny. Hu Weika suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked up, and saw Lu Bu holding the war horse and looking at him with a smile. Hu Weika was ashamed and annoyed, let out a strange scream, and stabbed the shuttle dart in his hand at Lu Bu's heart.
