Chapter 148: The Great War is Imminent
On the other side, Ma Zongheng, who was talking to Zhang Liao in the tent, also heard a report from a soldier who returned first, saying that he had found a fire flickering behind the battalion, and he suspected that there were enemy soldiers. Ma Zongheng couldn't help but be surprised, and he secretly hated Lu Bu in his heart, and he was anxious to get out of the account and shout to the soldiers. Zhang Liao also followed, and before he could recover from the shock, when he heard the sound of killing after the camp, his color suddenly changed.
"Red Devil, you and I quickly go to intercept it. Lao Hu, you and Zhongye guard the camp!! Ma Zongheng saw the fire and rushed to Pang De and Hu Che'er, and shouted orders. At the same time, several soldiers came with their horses. The horse turned over sharply and got on the horse, took the weapon from the soldier who handed the dragon blade, and waved the dragon blade, and the cold light suddenly appeared. At this time, Pound had also mounted his horse, shouting loudly to the soldiers around him, and in a short time he temporarily formed a team of hundreds of people.
"Everyone listen to the order, follow me to kill the enemy!!" As soon as the horse lifted the dragon blade, the flying horse rushed. At this time, a horse roared on the left, but he saw Zhang Liao riding a divine horse with a black wind and fierce horse, and hurriedly said: "Zongheng, I will kill the enemy with you!" ”
"Good!" When Ma Zongheng heard this, he smiled brightly, and then shouted angrily, shook the heavens and the earth, and galloped away after galloping to the camp.
But he said that Li Meng led his troops to attack in a hurry, and he saw that he was about to reach the camp. Suddenly, one left and one right, the seer saw the two galloping horses and killing, the terrifying murderous aura was like two devouring beasts.
"Who are the rats, who dare to attack my camp at night!! Don't even think about dying!! "The man on the left with a dragon blade is none other than Ma Zonghengye. I only heard him roar angrily, and galloped his horse brazenly approached. Li Meng was in a hurry to fight with his gun, and the two had just exchanged horses, but Ma Zongheng had already swung his knife and slashed down, and the terrifying dragon blade shook a burst of fierce wind. Li Meng couldn't meet it. Suddenly, the soldiers who were killing behind him suddenly saw a cold light, and then the blood flew up, and the general of the self-army immediately became a headless corpse.
Li Meng's subordinates were suddenly frightened, and suddenly, the bloody horses were like ghosts and gods, killing in front of them, Li Meng's subordinates hurriedly resisted, but where could they stop the murderous horses. In just a moment, Ma Zongheng opened a gap, impacting all the way, and the person turned over on his back, as if entering a no-man's land.
"Brave as a god, fierce as a ghost, and a real ghost!" Zhang Liao, who followed closely behind, saw that Ma Zongheng killed the enemy commander in an instant, and killed the enemy army alone, in addition to being surprised, he was also excited, and he mentioned the silver lion moon halberd in his hand, and rushed the flying horse into the crowd, and the flying spur swept violently, which was also invincible.
But I saw that in Li Meng's army, only Ma Zongheng and Zhang Liao danced their weapons, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, rushing left and right, killing his army in a mess. Between the lightning and flint, Pang De also led his troops to kill, and under the successive conflicts, he actually killed Li Meng's army and scattered. Wang Fang, who was rushing to the rescue, suddenly heard that Li Meng had been killed, and saw that his army was in chaos, and he panicked, but he didn't know what to do. At this moment, I saw that in the chaotic army, one left and one right, two members were covered in blood, and the fierce and fierce generals broke out. One of them danced with a dragon blade in his hand, and galloped his horse to kill first.
"Wow~~!! The horses are here, and the rats are not coming to fight soon~~!! The horse roared loudly, like the power of ghosts and gods, frightening Wang Fang's liver and gall, how dare he fight, he was busy and fled with his horse. Ma Zongheng was also red-eyed, and he galloped into the king's army again. Zhang Liao was afraid that he would lose, so he was busy catching up and covering behind.
Wang Fang fled, and his soldiers also lost their will to fight and fled for their lives. Ma Zongheng and Zhang Liao chased all the way, because the night was dark, Wang Fang led dozens of people to escape from the first ride. Ma Zongheng saw that he couldn't catch up, so he returned to the horse with Zhang Liao to kill the sudden, galloped away, without hindrance, killing the enemy all the way was like chopping melons and vegetables, which can be described as invincible. Wang Fang and Li Meng deployed to throw away their armor and flee for their lives.
When he was young, the firelight was in pieces, Wen Ping and Hu Che'er led the troops to come, and after a while, the remnants of the soldiers were scattered, and nearly 1,000 prisoners were captured, and hundreds of enemies were killed. Among them, there are probably more than 20 Xiliang generals who died at the hands of Ma Zongheng and Zhang Liao, and the total number of enemies killed is nearly more than 100 people.
By the fifth watch, the sky gradually took on the color of the fish's belly. In Ding Yuan's tiger tent, Gao Shun, Wei Yue and other soldiers were being scolded by Ding Yuan angrily. Among them, Wei Yue didn't dare to say that he received Lu Bu's order and transferred the scouts. Although Gao Shun also guessed that this was probably done by Lu Bu, he did not expose it and voluntarily took the black pot for him.
But seeing that Ding Yuan was ashamed and annoyed, Lu Bu had deliberately provoked Ma Zongheng before, causing a brawl, and not long after, Gao Shun made a rare mistake, which made the Xiliang army have a chance to take advantage of it, and almost succeeded in a surprise attack.
After all, Ma Zongheng is He Jin's pioneer general, it has only been less than a day, and he has had incidents again and again, if it reaches He Jin's ears, even if He Jin is not angry, Ding Yuan himself is ashamed to meet him, and then he thinks that He Jin will arrive soon. Ding Yuan was really a shameless friend, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and in a fit of anger, he actually wanted to kill Wei Yue, severely punish Gao Shun, and beat fifty military rods to set an example.
Lu Bu's face suddenly changed greatly, and he didn't expect Ding Yuan to be so angry, so he hurriedly walked out to plead. Ding Yuan thought that this had something to do with Lu Bu, and he should not expose it in public, but for the sake of love, and now he saw that Lu Bu dared to come out to intercede, and he was scolded. Lu Bu saw that Ding Yuan was really angry, and he didn't dare to refute it, until he was scolded by Ding Yuan and quit the account.
"Ding Gong is angry, the battle between the two armies is imminent, and it is bad luck to severely punish the lieutenant generals of the army. It's better to remember the guilt, how about he let the two generals make meritorious service in the future? At this time, it was Ma Zongheng who repaid his grievances with virtue and spoke for Gao Shun and Wei Yue.
When Ding Yuan heard this, he was even more ashamed, his old face couldn't help but turn red, and he attached more importance to Ma Zongheng, and couldn't help but say: "These two people almost caused Ma Xian's nephew to be defeated by the enemy, but Zongheng is willing to intercede for the two of them, and they can understand the righteousness." As the head of the state army, the old man is really ashamed to see people. ”
Ding Gong praised. The child has long heard that Ding Gong is loyal and righteous, and he has a good way to govern the army, and it is rare to fight hand in hand with Ding Gong this time, and he hopes to learn more from Ding Gong. To be honest, although Ma Zongheng and Ding Yuan have known each other for a short time, they feel that he is not as rough as the official history, and he is an irritable old man. On the contrary, I feel that he is quite knowledgeable, attaches great importance to the younger generation, and is a good old man who is willing to promote the younger generation. Just like Shicai, when he ordered to kill Wei Yue and severely punish Gao Shun, he also showed his unbearable expression.
"At a young age, you can learn to be humble and learn from others, and your future will be limitless. Ma Shoucheng really gave birth to a good son, and Ma Fubo can be regarded as a successor!! Ding Yuan held the white beard in his hand and praised it. Wei Yue, who had escaped the catastrophe, listened, but instead of being grateful, he secretly showed disdain, as if he felt that Ma Zongheng was hypocritical. But Gao Shun was also a little more curious about Ma Zongheng, and secretly glanced at him with his spare eyes.
However, speaking of which, Ma Zongheng interceded for the two, firstly, because he intended to win Ding Yuan's favor, and secondly, because of the treasure buried by Gao Shun in the long river of history. According to historical records, Gao Shun was loyal and strong, and the 800 trapping camp under his command was called the top infantry unit in the Three Kingdoms period along with Li Xu's Flying Bear Army and Liu Bei's Baiwei elite soldiers. But such a tiger general has not been reused by Lu Bu, and finally refused to surrender to Cao Cao, and was beheaded together with Lu Bu and Chen Gong for public display.
Gao Shun is not only good at training, but also quite brave, loyal and strong, and is a tiger general. Ma Zonghengzi also hoped that he would be able to take him under his tent one day.
As for that Wei Yue, Ma Zongheng saw that he was just a clown jumping off the beam, if it weren't for Ding Yuan and Gao Shun's sake, where would he intercede for him.
So Ding Yuan listened to Ma Zongheng's advice, first exempted Gao Shun and Wei Yue from punishment, let the two of them make meritorious contributions, and saw Ma Zongheng fighting all night, thinking that he was tired, so he didn't stay long, and asked Zhang Liao to send him back to the camp.
Gao Shun and Wei Yue returned to the camp, and Lu Bu heard that the two were fine, so he hurriedly came to see them, and the three of them entered the account. After a while, the three of them sat down. Lu Bu saw that Gao Shun's face was silent and refused to speak, so he no longer hid it, and showed the blood book hidden in his arms to Gao Shun.
"This Ma family child is the minions of Butcher He, so I want to rush to get rid of Butcher He before he arrives. I still hope that Zi Yixiu will blame me. Lu Bu knew that Gao Shun was loyal, so he deliberately pretended to be righteous and said.
Gao Shun thought that Lu Bu was narrow-minded and secretly intended to take revenge, but then he realized that he was wrong and blamed Lu Bu, and he was busy accusing him, and said with a guilty face: "The general endures humiliation and burden, but it is my Gao Ziyi who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." But the general has this blood letter, why didn't he publicize it to Ding? ”
"Don't worry too much, among them, I have secretly discussed with Dong Shaofu, and the time has not yet come. You and my brother, with this great opportunity to make a name for myself, how can I forget you! When the time comes, you just need to follow my orders, raise righteousness, wealth and fame, and you will be able to capture it! Lu Bu naturally wouldn't tell Gao Shun the truth, so he made up nonsense, and pretended to be angry. Gao Shun frowned slightly, only secretly feeling a little weird, but he couldn't say it.
A few days later, it was said that since the surprise attack of the Xiliang army failed that night, but instead broke Li Meng, there has been no movement. In order to avoid punishment, Wang Fang deliberately said that Ma Zongheng had already known about it, but instead ambushed him, so he was defeated. When Dong Zhuo heard this, he thought that Lu Bu had no intention of coming to vote, and he wanted to write blood in Lu Bu's hands, so he was furious, so he wanted to kill Li Su to vent his anger. However, Li Ru found that Wang, who had been shrinking his head and brain, had changed greatly, and seemed to have done something wrong, and asked several times, so that Wang Fang would not admit himself. Dong Zhuofang knew that Wang Fang was afraid of being punished, so he deliberately falsely reported the military situation, and was furious, pulled out a sharp blade in the court, and hacked Wang Fang to death in front of all the soldiers. When the soldiers saw Dong Zhuo enter in a rage, they did not change color. Later, Dong Zhuo gave Li Su another hundred taels of gold as a consolation. After that, Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's advice, temporarily stood still, waited for He Jin's army to arrive, and then made pictures.
In the past few days, the troops of Yuan Shao, He Jin, and He Miao came one after another, and they set up troops next to the camp of the Bingzhou Army.
