Dunhuang County, now this small county seat, is also lively, this is a town with a mixture of ethnic groups, although it is the seat of Dunhuang County, but the population is less than 50,000.

The population of the city is even smaller, only 10,000 or 20,000.

Ma Chao settled here, and he never forcibly changed anything, the town still runs as it was, where it is a market, it is still a market, where it is a tavern, it is still a tavern.

The difference is that there is one thing that many people here have spread today, that is, the national teacher of the Western Regions is actually an undercover agent of the Chenhe country.

The news soon spread to the army, and Pang De, Ma Chao and others all heard the rumors.

Ma Chao felt that this was really like a bolt from the blue.

If this is the case, wouldn't he have been played with for more than ten years?

"Inherit the national teacher!"

Ma Chao felt a little disheartened.

After a while, Zhou Budo arrived, and when he saw Ma Chao, Zhou Budo knew that he already knew.

"National teacher, you are telling the truth to this king, is this matter really as rumored?"

Zhou Bu doubted that his face did not change.

"King! Zhou doesn't want to talk about this matter first, please convene the generals to discuss it! ”

"Why don't you give this king an explanation?"

"I'm explaining to the King!"

Twenty minutes later, all the generals at and above the battalion level, including Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai, the three corps commanders, were present.

The general Pound sat still, and the others began to talk and point fingers.

Zhou Budo said: "Everyone, it is rumored this morning that I, Zhou Budo, am an undercover agent for Chenhe Kingdom, and Zhou will not explain this matter." Zhou only said that the result, if you believe the rumors, then our Western Regions army will be unstable, and the soldiers will be panicked, and in a few days, the Wei army and horses will come to the nest, and our Western Regions army may not be able to resist, even if it can win, it will also need to pay a greater price. Here, I ask the generals not to mention this matter for the time being, and first work together to defeat the Wei army and recover Liangzhou. ”

The generals were silent, and they all doubted Zhou Budo's identity at this time.

At this time, the general Pang De came out and said: "I will ask the king to give an order, first according to the deployment of the national division, take Liangzhou, and all other matters will be decided later!" ”

Pang De has been the general for several years, and his speech is naturally prestigious.

But Pang De's surname is Pang, and he is not surnamed Ma.

The Ma brothers did not think so.

Other generals felt that Pound had a point.

At this time, everything is in Ma Chao's hands.

Ma Chao fell into deep thought, and finally thought about it, it was better to defeat Sima Yi on the other side first, this could really be a discordant plan of the enemy army.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao said resolutely: "Then I asked the national teacher to draw up a plan for the march according to the usual practice." ”

Because Zhou Budo has no last resort, in the previous war, as long as Zhou Budo deployed, the Western Regions Army was invincible, and Ma Chao basically did not participate in planning the battle, and was only responsible for commanding.

Zhou Budo ordered people to launch the sand table, which already had a draft, opposite the sand table, is a huge topographic map of Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County.

Zhou Budo said: "Everyone, please see, this is the deployment map of the enemy's troops surveyed by fighter jets. The main force of Wei was camped in Sanli east of the Stygian River, which was the Stygian Bridge, which was garrisoned by 20,000 Wei troops to prevent our army from crossing the bridge. Ten miles down, it is a shallow water section, and there are also 20,000 troops and horses to defend it. Ladies and gentlemen, if our army wants to cross the Underworld, it must pass through one of these two places. If our army crosses the bridge by force, the Wei army will definitely blow up the bridge and organize the passage of our armored vehicles. Therefore, I decided to feint to attack these two places, but in fact, General Pang De personally led the army, smuggled across the river from upstream, and attacked Lufu County! ”

As he spoke, Zhou Budo planted flags on the sand table and marked the specific marching routes of each army.

Ma Chao watched from the sidelines, and did not interject, just waiting for Zhou Budo to complete the deployment, he gave the order and acted according to the plan.

Sima Yi could never have imagined that the Western Regions Army, which should have been in chaos, would attack him so quickly. It was on the third day and night that the rumors spread, the Western Regions army led 10,000 troops and forced them across the Stygian Bridge.

A hundred cannons bombarded the opposite bank, and the army tried to force its way across the bridge of the Stygian Water.

Cao Zhen commanded the army and horses, repelled Ma Tie's three attacks, the Stygian Bridge was in an emergency, and the defensive fortress on the east bank was destroyed by artillery.

"Order, hurry up and give the order, report to the general, ask for support, if you don't support, you can only forcibly blow up the bridge."

At this time, the Wei army was also equipped with rifles, although there were no cannons, but it was still possible to withstand the attack with some manpower.

Sima Yi guarded the shallow water area of ten miles downstream, and he had already heard the sound of artillery, but he was afraid that the Western Regions Army would attack the west from the east, so he did not dare to support.

Cao Zhen's herald reported the battle situation, Sima Yi fell into deep thought, and only said after a while: "Summons General Cao Zhen, blow up the bridge immediately and stabilize the situation." At this time, the rumors have already spread, just wait for time, and they can defeat the other army in one fell swoop! ”

Cao Zhen received the order, it was three o'clock in the middle of the night, the two military horses were shooting at each other in the night, and there was a turbulent water under the bridge, so it was not lively.

"Herald! Blow up the bridge! It's a hundred! ”

At half past three, with a loud bang, Cao Cao spent an unknown amount of manpower and material resources to build the Stygian Water Bridge, which was blown open a huge opening.

This bridge is also a railroad bridge, which leads to the lower rails of the highway, and with the technology of several years ago, it really took some thought.

I didn't want to be ordered by Sima Yi, and from then on, cracks appeared on the railroad track from Dunhuang to the Central Plains.

In the upper reaches of the dark water, in the night, Pang De led the army silently, found a dense place with high mountains and forests, and began to cross the river.

Pound ordered the soldiers to hold guns and ammunition in one hand, and swim through the underworld in a group.

By three o'clock in the morning, most of the 30,000 troops had crossed, and Pound himself crossed the river.

In order to avoid startling the snakes, the army did not prepare boats, but randomly selected sections of the river to cross the river.

The army crossed the underworld, and in the darkness, Pound took out the map and consulted with Matthew and a few others.

Pound had already ordered that the whole army should not use flashlights, and he himself only took out lighters, and used the weak light of the lighters to find the route of the march on the map.

"This is Lufu County, ten miles west of the city, Huishan Station, here is the arsenal of Sima Yi's army, General Ma Xiu, please lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and drop its arsenal before dawn."

"The last general commands!"

"General Ma Dai, you and I led the remaining 20,000 horses, and after the fire broke out at Huishan Station, they were ambushed on both sides of the road. Remember that according to the plan of the national division, you must not forcibly attack the city, if the place goes out of the city to rescue the arsenal, then surround the point to send reinforcements, if the enemy does not help, then converge with General Ma Tie, go west to attack Sima Yi's camp, and create conditions for the main force to cross the river. ”

"Yes!"

"Two generals, I would have known that the two of you still have a mustard in your heart at this time. But please think about it, the national teacher has worked hard for our Western Regions for many years, and built our Western Regions from a scattered country with a population of 500,000 to a large country with a population of more than 3 million today. At this time, even the king didn't trust it, and he spared no effort to make suggestions, just for my Western Regions to take back Liangzhou. The two of them must not have other thoughts, so as not to chill the heart of the national teacher. Even if there is really a problem with the identity of the national teacher, he has never been sorry for me in the Western Regions, and he has never been sorry for me and anyone else. ”

When Pound said this, Ma Xiu and Ma Dai suddenly realized that the two who had other thoughts decided to win the battle according to the original deployment today.

That night, the 30,000 troops of the Western Regions basked in the moonlight, rushed to Lufu County, the seat of Jiuquan County.
