Chapter 148: Expedition to Lake County
When the two armies are at war, if the Tanma is coming and going to a stable area behind the forces, important information can be delivered in a short time. What's more, Zhao Yue at this time has already left Luoyang City, and she is almost at Hangu Pass.
The time with Ma Lu was short-lived, and Zhao Yue believed that she would come back, believing that her heart would always belong to her.
Zhao Yue didn't know much about the purpose of Ma Lu's mission, in addition to exploring his views on Western forces, of course, he also asked Ma Teng if he could fight against Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an together in the future.
The two horses walked slowly near the east gate of Hanya Kanto, the night in the sky was a little beautiful, but the eastern sky was already white.
Zhao Yue looked at the reflection of the last ray of moonlight, Ma Lu's beautiful face, as if he had forgotten the war on the front line for a moment, and Tanma came to his side at an inappropriate time and reported to him the defeat in the first battle ahead.
Zhao Yue frowned after hearing this, because he knew Lu Bu's martial arts, so he was not surprised by this result, but felt a faint sadness in his heart.
"You go back first, tell the military advisor, I'll be there in three days." Zhao Yue put the letter away and said to the person who came to report it.
Tanma was a little surprised, and said nervously: "But the lord, the battle ahead is tight, the military master said that the morale of the whole army is dripping, I hope the lord can immediately set off with my horse, and he will arrive tomorrow night at the latest, the military master said, the lord will not come for a moment, and the morale will be difficult to boost, so it is not suitable to start a war with Lu Bu for a moment; In the West, Li Dao and Guo Yan had already introspected and sensed the intentions of our army, and sent Zhang Duan and Jia Xu back to Chang'an. Gather an army of 150,000 men, and if they break the city first. Then we are waiting for the situation to be critical! ”
Zhao Yue was reluctant to Ma Lu, he wanted to stay with Ma Lu for a while longer. So he hesitated and said: "You go back and tell the military advisor, just say that I think Zhang Duan and Jia Xu's 150,000 army will not be of any use, although Gao Shun only has 5,000 under his command, but I have heard of the power of trapping the camp before; I'm afraid that before Zhang Duan and Jia Xu mobilized the 150,000 troops, Li Dao and Guo Yan had already been defeated by Gao Shun. ”
"But ......" Tanma still wanted to do Zhao Yue's work again, but seeing the displeasure on Zhao Yue's face, he could only endure it.
At this moment, Ma Lu sensed this subtle feeling on the side, so. With a wicked smile, she said to Zhao Yue intriguingly: "Changjiao, I also know that Lu Bu's martial arts are not accessible to ordinary people, but I know that there is a person who can definitely defeat Lu Bu, I have confidence in him, why don't you invite him to come?" ”
Zhao Yue was overjoyed, thinking that there were still heroes in the Sili area who had not been discovered by herself. Hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”
Ma Lu said quietly: "It's that Ma Chao, Meng Qi is also, don't look at his young age, but his martial arts are superb." bravely runs through Xiliang, and is even known as 'Jinma Chao', if he is allowed to fight against Lu Bu. I'm afraid that Lu Bu is not his opponent either. Okay, I'm going to go. After returning to Xiliang, explain the reason. Then ......"
Before Ma Lu finished speaking, he heard the sound of Zhao Yue's fists squeaking.
Zhao Yue knew that Ma Lu was provoking him, but he really couldn't bear the flame in his heart, he immediately said to Tanma: "You go to Hangu Pass first, explain the reason to the Taishou guarding the pass, and transfer two thousand men and horses from Hangu Pass with me, I have my own arrangements!" Let's go first, I'll enter the customs later. ”
Seeing this, Tanma hurriedly bowed to Ma Lu, and then quickly turned back to Hangu Pass.
Zhao Yue looked at Ma Lu and said seriously: "I don't need your help this time, but I want you to see if I, Zhao Changjiao, can win against Lu Bu!" ”
Ma Lu tilted his head sideways, looked at Zhao Yue, and said with some joy: "I believe in you, but I can't witness you break the enemy army with my own eyes, this time it has been out for so long, Marven and Ma Wu have already gone back to report the news first, and I have to go back quickly." ”
Zhao Yue held back the reluctance in her heart, and could only nod resolutely, and separated from Ma Lu in front of Hangu Pass.
Just as he was riding his horse and preparing to enter the customs, Ma Lu suddenly stopped him from behind. Zhao Yue turned around and looked at Ma Lu's sad face, as if she wanted to say something to him.
"What else?" Zhao Yue asked with a light smile.
Ma Lu sighed and asked, "That little sister named Sun Shangxiang, how are you going to treat it?" I see that her feelings for you are not shallow. ”
Zhao Yue thought for a while, and then replied: "There's nothing special, I just treat her as a sister and a cute child, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, that's fine." Ma Lu said softly, regardless of whether Zhao Yue heard it or not, he rode on the official road, turned his back to the rising sun, and walked away.
Zhao Yue watched Ma Lu leave, looking at the red sun gradually rising on the horizon, and he entered Hangu Pass.
Since he has decided to appear in person, then he will show his hand to the three forces in the land of Western Qin. Zhao Yue may not be Lu Bu's opponent in martial arts, no matter how superb his Nie Ri is, he can't be invincible in the chaotic army. He wanted to rely on strategy to make those ordinary people wonder how resourceful the young master of the New Qin Army was!
Previously, in Chang'a Palace, he was not only intoxicated by the conversation with the beauty, he had also carefully studied the situation of the entire battlefield. From the perspective of the overall situation, Zhao Yue was ready to lead 2,000 people to attack Hu County under the rule of Hongnong County. Although it seems to be an inconspicuous small county, if it is taken by sending troops, it can unite the 100,000 troops of the idiot in a short period of time and attack Lu Bu's 50,000 horses in front and back.
He took the benefits of stealing grain from Wushan last time, and this time he took the strategy of attacking the enemy around the rear to the extreme.
After ordering 2,000 people, Zhao Yue first asked Tanma to hand over the letter he had written to Meng Zhizi to express his combat intentions, and let Meng Zhizi spread it in the army to stabilize the army's morale.
Then, he personally put on his own and hurried towards Huxian.
In the morning of the same day, on the west side of the Hongnong battlefield, Gao Shun's soldiers were standing on the high mountain to study the arrangement of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and then returned to the big tent and reported the detailed situation to Gao Shun.
Gao Shun was sitting in front of Zhuo, playing with a short, sharp dagger, which was a weapon that every soldier in their camp needed, compared to ordinary armies, the weapons equipped by the camp were far more than knives and guns, and there were all kinds of things such as daggers, longbows, and climbing ropes.
The general listened to the soldier's report on the sidelines, and before Gao Shun could speak, he preemptively asked: "General, the enemy is waiting for a large army in front of us, what should we do?" (To be continued.) )
