Chapter 144: The Horse Barbarian Conquers the Battlefield Again
Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw Cao Cao and Jia Xu, the two monarchs and ministers, talking and laughing and calculating Liu Bei. At this time, someone suddenly came to visit, it was a small captain of the eagle, who knelt down busily, and said: "Back to the lord, Lu Bu has promised to try his best to persuade Liu Biao to send troops, the sect leader can rest assured, and he also said that Ma Xi is his mortal enemy, even if Liu Biao is cowardly and refuses, he will lead his own soldiers and horses to Yanzhou, and be ashamed of the snow!" ”
"Oh? This Lu Fengxian is not afraid of destroying Yanzhou like he did back then? It seems that this evil god is also vengeful, can you find out how many troops there are under his command? After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked with interest.
"Back to the lord, Lu Fengxian doesn't seem to be suspicious, and even intends to show it to the little one. The small one found that his army had about 10,000 horses, and more than thousands of them were elite! The Eagle Squad Leader said with a shocked face.
When Xun You heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "I heard that Liu Biao only asked Lu Bu to have 3,000 men and horses in Xinye, but suddenly there are so many more people and horses, this Cai family must have secretly united with Lu Bu as rumored, otherwise even if Lu Bu dares to take the risk of offending Liu Biao and increasing the number of soldiers, it is impossible to have so many funds to raise so many men and horses." ”
"If this evil god Lu Fengxian hadn't been suppressed by that Ma Xi, I'm afraid he would have dominated the side a long time ago, and after enduring it for many years, he would be angry and revenge, I want to see how this Ma Xi will deal with it!" Cao Cao's expression was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but shake his spirits, and he was full of momentum in an instant, as if he had won the battle!
Jia Xu also had the same look as Cao Cao, but seeing that Jia Xu's eyes were shining, he said in a loud voice: "Lord, now our army has been helped by Liu Bei, Tao Qian, and Lu Bu, and it is time to send troops to Yanzhou!" ”
As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, Xun Yu couldn't help but change color slightly, and said hurriedly: "But due to the lack of food before, the lord had decided not to take the war lightly for two years, and now it is the autumn harvest of the second year, and the grain has not yet been harvested. ”
As soon as Xun You's voice fell, Cao Cao laughed: "Hahahaha~~!! ”
Seeing this, Xun You couldn't help but doubt, and was busy asking. Cao Cao then condensed and said: "Regarding this point, Wen He solved it for me a long time ago. Gong Damo forgot that Wen He captured the state before the year. In the next year, according to Yuan Shao's order, Gao Gan has been collecting grain and grass in Bingzhou in preparation for the future conquest of Yongzhou. Presumably he never thought that before the war in Yongzhou started, he was defeated by Ma Xi, and Bingzhou fell into my hands. With the grain of Bingzhou as a supply, it is more than enough to deal with the war in Yanzhou. ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Xun You reacted, and looked at Jia Xu with a little surprise, and asked: "Could it be that when the military division first took the annexation of the state, it was to prepare for today's war?" ”
"Hehe, how can I have Gongda Gong say it so magically, it's just a mistake." When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled modestly and replied. And just as Jia Xu replied modestly, Cao Cao's eyes looked into the distance again, and he said in his heart: "Benchu, Benchu, you and I have been fighting for half a lifetime, but I never thought that you would be defeated in the hands of others." This time, let me avenge you! ”
As soon as his thoughts turned, Cao Cao's profound details suddenly burst into a terrifying light, dazzling and compelling, and his posture seemed to be a heroic lord who was proud of the world.
So, within half a month, as Ma Xiu and Ma Tie led their troops to Tongguan, Ma Teng began to lead his troops to storm Tongguan, and Cao Ren defended the pass, and the battle went on like tea and fire at the same time. First of all, Cao Cao finally had a move, led Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Hong and other generals, called on all the soldiers and horses to gather in the Tiger Prison Pass, and announced that the world, on the grounds that Ma Xi, the general of the expedition to the north, was arrogant, started wars, plundered the land, and was in the same vein as the anti-thief Ma Teng, sentenced him to be a thief, and called on the princes from all over the country to go to the crusade. This time, the reaction was fierce, and soon Liu Bei in Youzhou and Tao Qian in Xuzhou formed an alliance, Liu Bei sent his general Guan Yu, led Fang Yue, Zhou Cang and other generals, and ordered Fu Zhi to lead 20,000 troops to attack Jizhou. At the same time, Liu Bei personally led Zhang Fei, Ju Yi, Zhang Yan and other generals to lead an army of 10,000 to Qingzhou first. Tao Qian also sent his general Cao Bao to lead 30,000 Xuzhou soldiers to Qingzhou, and ordered Chen Deng to lead 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers to meet Liu Bei first. And Tao Qian even instructed Cao Bao, Chen Deng and other generals to obey Liu Bei's command.
But seeing that the combined forces of Liu and Tao were menacing, almost all of them poured their troops out. When the news came out, the world was shocked, and soon after Liu Biao, under the persuasion of Cai and Cai Mao, promised to allocate 3,000 soldiers and horses, and 10,000 loads of food, to support Lu Bu in response to Cao Cao's call. Lu Bu immediately prepared soldiers and horses and baggage in Xinye, and chose a day to send troops to Yanzhou.
With the addition of the evil god Lu Bu, the danger of the Ma clan's destruction is even clearer. And the first to bear the burden is Yanzhou, which is persecuted on three sides!
On the other hand, Ma Zongheng, who learned of the current situation, did not sit still, and soon the people of the world found out that Ma Zongheng had already prepared, and at the border of Qingzhou in the northeast, his generals Zhang Liao and Zhang He had already stationed troops to guard various key points. In addition, on the southern border, it is also guarded by Shangjiang Xu Huang. As for Ma Zongheng, on the day he learned that Cao Cao had sentenced him to be a thief, he immediately led an army of 30,000 to Jidi in preparation for Cao Cao's army to attack.
The general trend of the world is rising, and the news just happened to spread to the Ma family camp outside Tongguan.
"What!? Cao thief actually joined forces with Liu, Tao, Lu and others to attack the son of evil!? Mo is not afraid that Lao Tzu will break through Tongguan and enter Luoyang~!? Ma Teng was furious when he heard the news, and although he was very anxious in his heart, he refused to spare his mouth. When Ma Xiu heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Daddy, I said that this must be a trick by the Cao thief to deal with the eldest brother!" Now that we are waiting to crusade against Cao Thief, we have put my eldest brother in danger, how good is this!! ”
As soon as Ma Xiu's words came out, Ma Teng's face couldn't help but tighten, as if he had been drunk in the head, his heart was pounded, and suddenly he seemed to feel as if he was in a situation, and immediately stared at Zhong Xuan. But Zhong Xuan's face did not change, and he said angrily: "Didn't the general forget the disaster of Zhong's annihilation, as well as the death of Uncle Guo and all the loyal soldiers!?" Zhong has never heard of murder, but he has never heard of aiding and abusive, and he is willing to sacrifice!! ”
As soon as Zhong Xuan's voice fell, Ma Teng's heart was cold, and he sighed: "The death of the martyrs and the Zhong family, how dare Ma forget, but I always feel that there is something wrong with this, and I hope that Yuan Chang will not blame him." ”
"Although the general severed the relationship with the general of Zhengbei, this blood relationship was broken if it was not said. Now that the general of Zhengbei is in a dilemma, it is normal for the general to be impatient. It's just...", but before Zhong Jian finished speaking, Ma Tie suddenly said sarcastically: "Hmph! Lord Zhong said it beautifully, but if it weren't for you, how would my father have torn his face with my eldest brother!? Don't pretend here, I see that you traitor can't wait for my eldest brother to die early~!! ”
Ma Tie almost roared when he said it, and when Ma Teng heard it, his face changed suddenly, and he yelled anxiously: "Tie'er is presumptuous!" Your eldest brother almost wiped out the Zhong family, but Yuan Chang did not hold a grudge, and was willing to assist my Ma family in the great cause of saving the country, such magnanimity is really admirable. Why don't you apologize to the staff officer!! ”
"This traitorous villain has bad water in his stomach, but I am afraid that he will hurt my Ma family in the future, I can't wait to tear him apart immediately, how can I apologize to him!!" Ma Tie is the youngest, but he also has the most violent temper, which knocked Ma Teng into a red face. Ma Teng was so angry that he blew his beard and roared in a hissing voice: "Enough!" I see that you don't want to live anymore, dare to be disrespectful again, Lao Tzu will kill you!! Don't get out of here yet!! ”
"Dad~!!" Ma Tie seemed to hate Zhong Xuan and glared at him deadly, but Ma Xiu was afraid that Ma Tie would anger Ma Teng, so he hurriedly rushed to drag him out of the tent.
After a while, Ma Teng's complexion improved, so he restrained his anger and apologized to Zhong Xuan: "My little boy lacks discipline on weekdays, and his relationship with his eldest brother is very good. ”
"Hehe, Tie Gongzi is devoted to his brother, affectionate and righteous, and can be described as a young hero. And Xiu Gongzi has a calm personality, I recently see that he has a law to govern the army, and the sergeants all listen to the transfer, and I am afraid that the achievements in the future will be even worse than that of Tie Gongzi. Zhong Xuan's heart is really big enough, and he doesn't seem to care. Ma Teng heard Zhong Xuan praise his two sons, his heart was happy, and he also laughed: "Thanks to Yuan Chang for looking up to my two dogs so much, he will ask Yuan Chang more about Jinglun literature than the two of them, and I don't want people to often say that they are the sons of reckless people." ”
When Zhong Xuan heard this, his expression was shocked, and he was about to answer. At this time, suddenly there was a drum beating outside, and Ma Tengton's face changed, and he didn't react yet. Suddenly, someone hurried into the tent, saying that Ma Tie was angry out of the tent not long ago, seeing that Cao Jun was coming, in a rage, regardless of the persuasion of everyone, snatched the war horse and weapons and went out, Ma Xiu took the weapon, and also rushed to the rescue.
"These two stinky boys, I really don't let Lao Tzu worry!! I'm angry too~!! When Ma Teng heard this, he was so angry that he got up. Zhong Xuan also pretended to be anxious and said: "The two sons of the general have little experience in war, and they are probably not the enemies of the Cao army, so it is better to hurry up and respond." ”
How many catties and taels are there for his two sons, how could Ma Teng not know, when he heard this, he hurriedly responded, and rushed out of the tent in a hurry.
When Ma Teng led his troops out of the tent in a hurry, he saw Ma Xiu, Ma Tiezheng and Cao Jun fighting with the two generals, and couldn't help but look nervous, but soon Ma Teng's impatient mood was calmed down, but his eyes were shining and he applauded.
saw Matthew fighting with a red-robed general with a spear. Although the red-robed general's marksmanship was also sharp, it was not as exquisite as the hidden dragon Fubo marksmanship used by Ma Xiu. On the other side, Ma Tie, who was about to twist the halberd's hand and one of the members of the halberd, Cao Jiang, was fighting to kill, and his momentum was even more fierce, seeing him swinging his knife and slashing indiscriminately, murderous, and slamming the road, killing that Cao Jiang was in danger!!
