Chapter 313: That "affectionate" gaze

"Major General, except for the three people who are fast, the rest are solved! Do you want to chase? On the north bank of Weishui, a healthy soldier rode his horse to Ma Chao's side.

A skirmish ended, and the defeated were the Xia army, all of whom were Qiang cavalry pawns, with more than 50 people, who were annihilated by Ma Chao and others.

Ma Chao swept the scene in front of him, dozens of war horses wailed, as if they were crying for the death of their master. He wiped the long sword he held in his hand on his arm, adding a few more blood stains to the already dirty sleeves.

His eyes were cold, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Don't chase it!" Clean up the battlefield, gather the horses, and heal the wounded! ”

Scattered battles, Pang De and Ma Chao led Ma Teng's army, and they were entangled with the Xia army in Fufeng for so long, and they once crossed Huaili in the easternmost time. According to Ma Chao's temperament, he originally wanted to go shopping in Chang'an City, but was stopped by Pang De. The two led the way and moved to the west again.

As for the rest of the Liangzhou cavalry that advanced eastward, most of them began to advance towards the area bordering Fufeng and Jingzhaoyin. The west has been almost destroyed by them, there are no roosters for a hundred miles, the people are scattered, and only further east can they have their goal.

Pang De felt that the strength of the Xia army was still strong, and Chang'an was not a good land, so for the sake of safety, he advocated retreating westward. This made Ma Chao very dissatisfied, but because of Pound's order to sacrifice Ma Teng, he still pinched his nose and accepted it.

However, the news from the east made Ma Chao honest. The rampant Qiang people, with a hot brain, crossed Huaili, intending to plunder Pingling, Maoling and other large counties. As a result, the guards and iron cavalry sent by Liu Yuan cooperated with Lu Bu to annihilate several teams, with a total of more than 2,000 casualties.

The arrogance was suppressed, and he no longer dared to go too far to the east, so he scattered his operations, and after being frustrated, he began to fight to the north and south, and fought more flexibly. Yan Xing continued to be active in Huaili, taking the opportunity to annex some Qiang cavalry stragglers, and did not dare to advance too eastward.

To Chang'an, you need to cross several Weishui tributaries, which was not easy in the past, and it is even more difficult to withdraw, Yan Xing is very careful.

"Major General, look!" The soldiers took a sack from the Xia pawn war horse and pierced the dagger, revealing the corn inside.

Almost every saddle has it on the side, Ma Chao grabbed a handful, and smiled disdainfully: "How much grain can be transported like this?" Xia Jun is not too troublesome! ”

However, I can only complain, in today's situation, the Xia army is transporting a large amount of grain to the west, which is obviously unrealistic.

A man rode a war horse to the south, stationed by the river, under the high sun, Weishui soup, and the water surface flashed with dazzling light. Ma Chao sighed a little, this time he came to the east, he didn't fight happily!

The soldiers under his command moved quickly, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and ran behind Ma Chao: "Major General, let's withdraw to the station, General Pang is still waiting for us!" ”

"To the west is Yixian!" Ignoring the pro-soldiers, Ma Chao suddenly asked.

"Yes, thirty miles away is Yi County, I heard that the second prince of Xia Guo served as the county commander. The coalition has tried to attack before, but it is dead in the city, and there is no way! He asked Ma Chao, and although he had doubts, he replied quickly.

"Then don't rush back yet!" A bright light flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, pinched his smooth chin, and said.

The pro-soldier next to him was immediately stunned, and then reacted, this young general is afraid that he has thoughts again and is restless. hurriedly said something to stop him: "Young General, let's go back as soon as possible!" ”

"Send someone back to tell Pound, I won't go back to the station first!" Ma Chao naturally ignored this dissuasion, and said with great interest: "Follow me to Yixian County to have a look, and go to see this Prince Huxia!" ”

With that, he drove the horses and ran westward. The guards in the back had no choice but to follow. More than 400 horsemen, along the Weishui to the west, galloped away.

……

On the back hall of Yixian County, Liu Jue was eating with Fu Shou, and on the small case, there was a simple meal. For Liu Jue, who has been eating since he was a child, it is extremely difficult to swallow, but the current situation is like this, the whole county is short of rations, and it is good to have food to cushion his stomach.

"Eat more, it's better than hungry!" Fu Shou was chewing silently beside him, and Liu Jue couldn't help but speak.

"Hmm!" He nodded obediently.

Liu Yu is not in a very good mood, and it has been more than half a year since Liu Yuan was placed in Yi County, compared to Liu Cheng's Zheng County, it is too difficult for him to make a breakthrough. Especially disturbed by the military disaster, now the city is almost dilapidated, the people fled and scattered, and there are only 2,000 people in the entire county, including more than 300 of his personal soldiers.

Although it is not a big threat to the city, the feeling of being controlled by others makes Liu Yu very unhappy. There was not much surplus food in the treasury, so I saved some rations last time and sent some insignificant supplies to Chencang. If it drags on for a while, Yixian will also run out of food.

"Husband!" Seeing the sadness between Liu Jue's eyebrows, he stretched out his jade hand, grabbed Liu Jue's hand, and called softly.

"Nothing! Nothing! Liu Jue held it with his backhand and comforted.

"Lord! An enemy cavalry is coming from the direction of Dongcheng! A subordinate rushed over in a panic and said in a hurried tone.

"What's the panic? It's not like I haven't encountered it! Hearing this, Liu Jue frowned and scolded: "Come with me to the city and see!" ”

The subordinates wiped the sweat on their foreheads, and now the people in the city are panicking, and the slightest wind and grass is panicking.

Outside the Dongguan City Tower, Ma Chao had already led his elite soldiers to run back and forth, wantonly and horizontally, feeling the panic of the Yixian guards above the city tower, so happy.

"Listen to the people in the city, my young general is here, let your prince go out of the city to greet you!" There are enemy pawns underneath, talking trash like crazy.

"Brother Jue!" As soon as Lan Hui heard that the enemy army was coming, he hurriedly came over, stepped up to the city, and said to Liu Jue, whose face was not very good-looking: "This thief is too arrogant!" ”

Liu Jue's eyes were shining, and he said coldly: "A group of bed bugs are noisy, don't pay attention to it!" His mouth didn't care, but his fists were clenched.

Lan Hui glanced down, stared at the enemy horses rushing back and forth for a while, and suggested: "Guanqi is only a few hundred horses, why don't I lead my own soldiers out to kill their majesty?" ”

Yixian, but with more than 300 elite horsemen sent by Liu Yuan to Liu Jue, Lan Hui moved his mind to fight.

"No!" Liu Yu directly refused: "In case the enemy army is cheating, it is better to defend the city." If I let it shout again, what can I hurt? ”

Lan Hui showed regret on his face, as a warmonger, there were not many enemy troops, so he naturally wanted to fight and fight. Liu Jue's gaze stayed on Ma Chao, and he could see at a glance that the young man was the leader of this enemy army.

After running in the sun for a long time, Ma Chao stopped and said coldly: "Enough, it's useless to shout again!" ”

Looking up, in the center of the city pass, he could also see Liu Jue standing upright. With such an outstanding temperament, he shouted at the top of his voice: "You are the second prince of Xia Kingdom, Liu Jue!" ”

Liu Yu didn't respond, he was far away, and he looked at him for a long time. Although the faces of the other party are not very clear, the collision of eyes seems to have sparks.
