"Shoucheng, what is the situation in Hugh Tu City now?" Dong Zhuo's eyes were still staring at a graveyard in front of him, and he asked Ma Teng behind him without looking back.

Dong Zhuo didn't follow Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu to watch the heads-up fight between the two, if it was usual, Dong Zhuo would be happy to see such a lively fight, but today he was in a very bad mood, so he just wanted to find out the traces of the Huns now, and then kill people and set fires.

Dong Zhuo didn't move, Ma Teng and thousands of soldiers naturally didn't dare to move, although there were some people who especially wanted to watch the battle, but they all stood in front of the grave, motionless.

"Back to Dong Gong, since the defeat of the Huns three days ago, Hugh Tu has temporarily settled down in the city, although the city is depressed, but the people are fine. It's just that there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the last general is afraid that Hugh Tu will be lost, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, but he didn't expect that the Hun dog thief would slaughter the village and commit such a heinous crime. ”

Ma Teng's answer is called a drip-tight answer. The meaning is obvious, he doesn't have too many soldiers and horses, so he can only guard the slaughter of the city, and as for the villages outside the city, he can't reach the whip, and he will be completely responsible for it.

Dong Zhuo didn't care about Ma Teng, after all, Ma Teng couldn't be blamed for this, Ma Teng was able to defend the city of Xiutu, which was already a great credit, otherwise once the city was broken, tens of thousands of people in the city would follow in the footsteps of more than 300 people in the village in front of him.

It's just that Dong Zhuo is still a little surprised, and the Ma Teng in front of him is not as good as the history books say, except for being loyal and virtuous, he has no scheming, looking at Ma Teng's previous series of reactions, he looks like a cautious real person. This is Dong Zhuo's first impression of Ma Teng.

Dong Zhuo asked again: "Do you know the traces of the Huns?" ”

Ma Tengcheng was terrified, and hurriedly replied: "Please forgive the general, this last general really doesn't know!" ”

Ma Teng really didn't know that after repelling the Hun cavalry three days ago, he was afraid that the other party would make a comeback, so he had been strictly defending, and he didn't dare to act rashly, but he didn't expect the Hun cavalry not only not to come again, but to lose his trace.

However, Ma Teng didn't know anything, he paused and thought for a while, and then continued: "Hutu is beautiful in the west hundred miles, and Gu Zang is in the south hundred miles, but the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang in Hexi are too desolate, and the Huns should not march westward with the beauty of Xianmei, and the three counties of Jincheng, Longxi, and Hanyang south of Wuwei are fertile and the richest three counties in Liangzhou, so the Huns only have the choice to go south. ”

Since the Huns disappeared under his nose, Ma Teng naturally wanted to give Dong Zhuo an explanation and make amends. Although he didn't know the specific location of the Huns, he could still judge the general direction.

Dong Zhuo bowed his head, Ma Teng's reaction is very sensitive, and his ability to adapt to changes is very strong, this is a talent, no wonder he can teach a son like Ma Chao.

Now that he knew the general location of the Huns, Dong Zhuo naturally had a contingency strategy, and immediately ordered, saying: "In the name of Benzhou, send an order down, let Wuwei, Jincheng, and the counties of the two counties strictly defend, and always guard against the Huns, and in addition, all the people outside the city must be moved to the city for refuge, and after the Huns invade the cavalry, let them move back outside the city." Also, tell those people below that if they dare to disobey the yang or take the opportunity to oppress the people, a certain family will directly destroy him!

In addition, he ordered Jincheng Huangfu Song, Anding Xu Rong, and Longxi Huangfu Jianshou, ordering them to temporarily put aside to deal with Han Sui, Wang Guo, Song Yang and others, and wave their troops to the north to encircle and suppress the Xiongnu cavalry. ”

Dong Zhuo's words made the surrounding Ma Teng and thousands of soldiers boil for a while, since ancient times, there is a saying that the outside must first be at ease, Dong Zhuo can give up the victory that is about to be easy to get inside, and instead mobilize a large army to deal with the Huns, which makes them trust Dong Zhuo even more.

What's more, Dong Zhuo also ordered the counties to gather the people from outside, which is enough to show Dong Zhuo's benevolence, which is really the master.

Looking up at the already dim sky, Dong Zhuo frowned, pointed to a soldier and said, "It's been almost an hour, why haven't those two little things been fought yet?" You go and call them back to me, and tell them that they will fight until they have killed all the Huns, and now they will honestly come back! ”

Dong Zhuo was a little angry, he was about to arrange a combat mission, but the general was not there, and this was still a hairy arrangement!

The soldier received Dong Zhuo's order and was about to rush in the direction of the fight between Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao, when he heard a weak voice coming.

"No, we're back!"

Everyone looked back, but saw Zhang Xiu holding Ma Chao, holding a tiger's head and a golden gun, limping back.

A soldier hurriedly stepped forward to support the two and brought them to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be happy when he saw it, the two guys in front of him had blue noses and swollen faces, and they looked embarrassed, how could they be miserable.

Ma Chao grinned, saliva kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, and there were two black sockets on his eyes, which was completely a pig's head with panda eyes.

Zhang Xiu is not much better, the handsome face has long been invisible, although it is not as exaggerated as Ma Chao, but it is also disfigured and disfigured.

Ma Teng looked at his son who was beaten into a pig's head, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, if he hadn't known that this was his son, he really wouldn't have recognized that this was Ma Chao. couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhang Xiu, he originally thought that he had overestimated Zhang Xiu, but he didn't want to underestimate it. You must know that his son Ma Chao has never suffered such a big loss, although he Ma Teng is usually strict, he does not dare to beat his son like this, otherwise the extremely protective tigress at home will not eat him, but the young Sima Zhang Xiu under Dong Zhuo in front of him can beat Ma Chao into such a virtue, which shows that his ability is extraordinary. Since a small Zhang Xiu alone already has such martial arts, then Hua Xiong, who has followed Dong Zhuo for many years and is famous, is so powerful, plus Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Gao Shun and others, Ma Teng couldn't help but sigh secretly, Dong Zhuo, the commander of Liangzhou Mu, is really full of talents, and it can even be said that he is the strongest warlord today. In this regard, I couldn't help but let Ma Teng have some thoughts in his heart.

Dong Zhuo didn't ask about the victory or defeat of the two, and immediately opened his mouth and said to Ma Teng: "Shou Cheng can hand over the affairs of Xiu Tu to the deputy general, and temporarily serve as the post of military Sima in a certain army, I don't know what Shou Cheng wants?" ”

Ma Teng was still thinking about how to blend in with Dong Zhuo logically, and he didn't want Dong Zhuo to speak directly, how could he be unhappy, so he immediately pulled Ma Chao, who was beaten into a pig's head by Zhang Xiu, to kneel on one knee, and said sonorously: "The last general Ma Teng and his son Ma Chao are willing to listen to the lord's drive, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and I will not give up!" ”

Dong Zhuo is now the pastor of Liangzhou, and the military Sima under Dong Zhuo's command is naturally the military Sima of Liangzhou, although the military power is not large, but it is at least much stronger than Ma Teng's previous lieutenant in the northern part of Wuwei County.

Picking up Ma Teng, Dong Zhuo ignored Ma Chao, who was winking at him with panda eyes, and continued: "The soldiers and horses in the city of Hutu, except for the two thousand infantry troops stationed in Xiu Tu, the rest of the 1,000 cavalry are still under the command of Shou Cheng for the time being!" ”

Ma Teng immediately received the order.

Except for Ma Chao, Dong Zhuo didn't see his eyes, and once again ignored the pain, blinking a pair of panda eyes at Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo still ignored Ma Chao, but looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "Zihua, let the soldiers be stationed on the spot, and tomorrow they will go south and rush to Guzang." ”

"The last general...... Hiss...... The last general commands! ”

Zhang Xiu received the order, and originally wanted to bow and reply, but he didn't want to touch the injury on his body because he was too anxious, and he broke out in a cold sweat because of the pain.

Zhang Xiu glanced at Ma Chao with some humility, he Zhang Xiu was a former general under the command of Sima of other departments, but he was beaten like this by a little ghost, and it was embarrassing to say it.

Dong Zhuo saw Zhang Xiu's expression in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Dong Zhuo knew that as long as Zhang Xiu could see through this matter, his future achievements would probably have to go to a higher level, and he would not have the ability to compete with Guan Zhang, Zhao Mahuang, and the five minions of the Shu Han Dynasty.

After all, Zhang Xiu is only in his teens now, he is still too young, everything has not yet been finalized, and it is still too late.

"My lord! What about me? What should I do? Ma Chao saw that Dong Zhuo seemed to have forgotten him, and he was a little anxious, this is different from what Zhang Xiu said before, didn't Zhang Xiu say that the lord is thirsty for talent? Why don't you ignore me now?

Thinking about it, Ma Chao glared at Zhang Xiu again, which seemed to mean, didn't you say that you wanted to introduce me to the lord in person, why don't you talk and count?
