"What?" Wei Yan immediately jumped up: "You guys actually have more horses than people?" ”

Oh my God, that's unfair, isn't it? I, Wei Yan, have always wanted to have my own cavalry troops, and every time I fight, I have to try my best to get the enemy's horses, and in the end I always give them to you.

Could it be that just because your surname is Ma and your brother's name is Ma Chao, there should be a lot of horses?

Ma Dai saw that Wei Yan's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were about to fall out, so he hurriedly explained: "This is because we need to act quickly, so before we set off, it was all cavalry, that is, one man and one horse." Apex Update was the fastest, ambushed Xiahou Ba once, robbed some war horses, and seized the horses they used to transport grain. Now these days have passed, and the horses have eaten a lot of food, so there are more horses. ”

"How much more? Where are they now? Wei Yan only wanted Ma Dai to tell him that those horses were now in Sanguan.

Ma Dai did not disappoint him: "We thought that you also needed more horses, so I brought them first. ”

What does it mean to need more, as if we already had a lot of horses! Wei Yan urged again: "Where, where?" Let me see. ”

"But, now, general, you can't send anyone to ride." Ma Dai looked at Wei Yan's troops, plus the people who have arrived at the gate one after another, there are less than two hundred, and these two hundred people are all on horseback.

Wei Yan couldn't care so much, so he hurriedly asked, "How much?" How much more? How much more? Is there a thousand? ”

Ma Dai was taken aback, you also think too beautifully, there are more than a thousand, doesn't that mean that I, a thousand people, have to ride one horse and lead one horse, so how can I fight?

He stretched out three fingers towards Wei.

"Three thousand?" Wei Yan winked at Ma Dai excitedly, sparks in his eyes.

Three thousand, isn't that a real cavalry unit directly assembled?

Ma Dai was frightened by Wei Yan, this guy, crazy, right?

He simply turned his head away, only shook his three fingers around, and said, "Three hundred!" ”

"Hahaha!" Wei Yan laughed at Ma Dai in turn, "I'm joking with you, how can a thousand people bring three thousand war horses here." You're not stables, and there are enemies on the way. Three hundred is already a lot. Where are the horses now, let me see. ”

"But now you have less than two hundred men, and if you want three hundred horses, will you not become two hundred, and you will have five hundred horses? Then have you really become stablemen? Ma Dai didn't believe that Wei Yan's eyes just now were joking.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. Anyway, you brought those horses to us. My men will arrive shortly. Now, let's hurry out, go to Chencang to meet your brother, and go straight to Chang'an. "Wei Yan is going to get down to business.

Ma Dai looked at Wei Yan and his subordinates, all of them stared at blood-red eyes, thinking that they must have been chasing Zhang here day and night, and they were obviously tired at this time, and hurriedly said to Wei Yan: "General, please rest here for a while, I will lead the army back to Chencang and prevent the enemy from sending troops to Sanguan." ”

Wei Yan originally said that he would go with Ma Dai, but now the words of the people also reminded him, looked at the tired soldiers, and asked Ma Dai to lend him a hundred people first, saying that they would continue to guard the pass, he and his subordinates took a nap for a while, and then waited for Ma Dai to go out to harass and come back, and then act together.

Ma Dai agreed, left a hundred horsemen, led the rest of the men and horses, and rushed to the outside of Chencang City to report the news to Ma Chao.

Wei Yan asked his subordinates to hurry up and rest, moved a chair and sat on the gate, and let the sergeant left by Ma Dai be responsible for observing the situation before and after the pass, and wake him up after two hours.

The sun set from the distant mountains, and the Qinling Mountains disappeared into the night, but Wei Yan, who was sitting at the pass, suddenly found a strange laugh: "Quack, coo, coo......"

The sergeants who had been guarding him were startled and looked around in horror, but they didn't see any movement.

When he realized that it was Wei Yan who was talking in his sleep, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh secretly.

The laughter stopped abruptly, a gust of night wind made Wei Yan shiver, he opened his eyes reluctantly, bounced up from the chair, his round head shook back and forth, and saw that the sergeants around him were all dressed as Shu soldiers, but they were all very raw, and exclaimed: "I, where am I?" ”

The sergeants hurriedly replied, "General, are you awake?" Have you forgotten? You're distracting. ”

Some people also quipped: "Did the general dream that he was already in Chang'an City?" ”

"It's not Chang'an, it's in Tongguan!" Wei Yan corrected, and then picked at the back of his head again, only then did he remember the events of the day, and turned to reproach, "Didn't you wake me up in two hours?" Why is it that it's dark, but you don't exist for me? ”

The sergeants replied with a smile: "General, it seems that you are really tired all the way here. It may have been exactly two hours since you commanded it, and now it may have been. We were about to wake you up, but you woke up first. ”

"Isn't that right?" Wei Yan looked around again, "It's all dark this day. I've only been asleep for two hours? ”

The sergeant replied, "General, when you are ready to sleep, it will be an hour before dark." It's only been a little more than an hour since it gets dark, and it's only a little more than two hours overall. ”

"Look, you've all said it yourself, it's been more than two hours!" Wei Yan shouted that he shouldn't be, but he understood that people also wanted to let him rest more, and he was Ma Dai's subordinate, so he didn't blame anymore, and just asked, "What about my subordinates?" Are they all asleep? ”

All the sergeants nodded in unison, and that's the way it was, and when they said they were going to rest, they all slept like dead pigs.

No wonder people, this way from Wudu, all the horses galloped, chasing for a day and a night, not only now people are sleeping dead, even the horses are tired.

However, there is also good news, in just over these two hours, the five hundred cavalry that Wei Yan led the pursuit at the beginning have now all arrived at Sanguan.

"Good!" Wei Yan was very satisfied and ran to inspect his subordinates, his eyes rolled, since it was already dark, he simply let them sleep a little longer.

After sleeping this time, starting tomorrow, I will run them to death again.

At the third watch, all the cavalry who arrived were awakened.

Wei Yan set aside fifty people from Ma Dai's hundred tribes, and dozens of people from his own tribes who arrived last, and continued to guard the pass here, waiting for the rear army.

Then let the sergeant who arrived first lead his horse, let the sergeant who arrived later all change to the war horses left by Ma Dai, and let fifty of Ma Dai's subordinates lead the way, and set off at night and went straight to Chen Cang.

When it was dark, they noticed that a group of men and horses were walking towards them, and when they looked closely, it turned out that Ma Dai had gone and returned.

Wei Yan hurriedly greeted him and asked him about the situation on Ma Chao and Chen Cang's side.

Ma Dai smiled: "My brother has left Chen Cang and went to Chang'an." If you can't take advantage of the chaos to occupy Chang'an, you will immediately rush to Tongguan. ”

"What?" If it weren't for the horse, Wei Yan would have jumped up again, "Why did he go first?" ”

Ma Dai felt that Wei Yan asked very strangely: "That's how Da Sima arranged, our cavalry just wants to give full play to the advantage of rapid transfer." Now that Sanguan has been occupied by us, there is no big problem for the army to enter the pass, of course, we must hurry up and take advantage of the enemy's insufficient reaction to occupy Chang'an or Tongguan first, so as to cause greater chaos among the enemy, which is conducive to the subsequent pursuit of the two armies. ”

Wei Yan slapped his head: "Oh my God, why are you always preempted!" ”

It's all because, my horse! (To be continued.) )
