Chapter 154: A Strong Enemy Comes
Cao De is back!
Cao De set off majestically from Shangbang with 2,000 generous soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Then came back the next afternoon.
Sheung Shui Castle has been engulfed in flames. The impending plague was nipped in the bud by the raging fire.
When Guo Jia saw Cao De return safely, he almost hugged Cao De. When Cao De left before, he was so righteous and awe-inspiring. It was Cao De's unintentional move that finally captured Guo Jia's 'heart'!
When Zhu Jun learned the news of Tianshui City, he also sighed with emotion: "Tianshui City, after this battle, I am afraid that it will disappear." ā
Later, Zhu Jun asked about the movements of the rebels. Cao De truthfully replied that he had not seen Han Sui's people. But Cao De did not tell himself about the conspiracy with Ma Teng.
-------
On the same day, Cao De arrived at the edge of Tianshui City with more than a dozen guards. When Cao De was still lamenting the fire in Tianshui City, five or six cavalrymen rushed from afar.
The cavalrymen were dressed in white rebel uniforms, and the leader was dressed in burly bright light armor.
Although the guards behind Cao De are not Cao De's personal guards, they are also from the Heavy Hammer Auxiliary Battalion. Naturally, there is some vision.
When they saw this rebel in bright light armor, they knew that this person must be a high-ranking general of the rebel army. Just as they pulled out their ring hands and broadswords to prepare for defense, Cao De stopped them and asked them to take out two bags of wine.
Although the soldiers were surprised, this was the general's order after all, and although they did what Cao De said, their spirits were always tense.
It wasn't until the rebel general jumped off his horse and gave Cao De a warm hug that they really let go of their grip on the handle of the big sword.
"Haha, Anbang, I haven't seen you for a few years, you're still a little white face!"
"Haha, my brother hasn't seen him for a few years, but his demeanor is still the same!"
After the two embraced, Cao De reached out to the soldier behind him to ask for a wine bag, and handed one to Ma Teng.
That's right, it's Ma Teng.
Now the development of the battle situation has exceeded the imagination of the two before. No one thought that Tianshui would be slaughtered, and no one thought that Tianshui would be engulfed by a fire.
Cao De and Ma Teng sat on the ground, looking at Tianshui City with black smoke.
Cao De took a sip of wine, lay down on the grass, opened his mouth and asked, "These big things happened one after another today, brother has a plan." ā
Ma Teng also took a sip of wine, sighed and said, "Alas, such a thing will happen, I didn't expect it at all. But since it happened, so be it. Maybe this is the last time I drank with Anbang. ā
Hearing this, Cao De waved his hand back, meaning to let the guards go farther. But how could the guards rest assured that Cao De would stay here alone.
"General!?"
"It's okay, you all go and rest."
Ma Teng immediately let the guards who came with him go away.
Cao De's guards saw that Ma Teng's men had retreated, and instead of speaking, they left behind a knife. And then they also went away.
Cao De glanced back at the knives left by the guards, and then at the delicate scimitar hanging from Ma Teng's waist.
Cao De drew a sharp ring hand knife in his right hand; His left hand also grabbed Ma Teng's scimitar and pulled it out.
When the guards on both sides who heard the movement turned around and were about to run back, Cao De and Ma Teng stopped them at the same time.
Then Cao De held his own knife in his right hand and Ma Teng's knife in his left hand. He made a slashing motion and said, "In war, how can there be immortals with such sharp weapons." If you and I really want to collide with these two knives, my brother has ever considered Chao'er's future. ā
Ma Teng saw Cao De mention his son, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Although Chao'er is young, he understands." He knows what to do. ā
Cao De sneered, "What do you understand?" Do you want Chao'er to bear the name of recognizing a thief as a father for more than ten years, and then kill me, the enemy who killed my father, and then commit suicide to apologize! ā
Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, Cao De didn't wait for Ma Teng to refute, and continued: "Chao'er is a stubborn person, and in his mind, his father is a hero of the world. If you fall, Chao'er will also be defeated. ā
Ma Teng lowered his head and said, "How can a husband be so hypocritical." ā
Cao De shook his head, it seems that this father and son are both stubborn people.
Subsequently, Cao De diverted the topic, "Where did Han Sui go?" ā
Ma Teng didn't expect Cao De to change the topic so quickly, and after being stunned for a moment, he said, "Han Sui and I made an appointment to meet in Longxi. ā
After hearing this, Cao De smiled mysteriously, "How many people are around Han Sui?" ā
"Han Sui brought out more than 20,000 people from Tianshui, and transferred 20,000 cavalry from us."
"Hmph, hum, haha, haha, Han Sui, this old horseman won't live long."
Ma Teng asked in surprise, "What does Anbang mean?" ā
"Dong Da Fat Man with his cavalry should not be far from Longxi now."
"Dong Zhuo? Isn't he on the north shore of Weishui? ā
Cao De glanced at Ma Teng, "When Huangfu Song crossed the river, Dong Fatzi took his people to the west. It is estimated that he will cross the river in the Longxi area. Han Sui is likely to meet Dong Fatzi head-on this time! ā
When Ma Teng got the news, he frowned.
Cao De continued: "I estimate that Han Sui will not die, he will run if he is defeated. He'll come back to you again. When the time comes......"
Ma Teng is a very affectionate person, as soon as he heard Cao De's proposal, he was a little resistant, frowned and said, "This is not good." ā
Cao De raised the big knife in his hand, pointed to the smoke-emitting Tianshui City and said, "Someone has to be responsible for it, someone has to be responsible for the people who died tragically and the soldiers who died in battle." Someone has to give it to you, take the blame! ā
Ma Teng hesitated a little after hearing this, and Cao De continued: "When he dies, we living people can live better." Isn't it? Also, before I set out on the expedition, Chao'er told me that even if you die by my sword, he will see your body. ā
After Cao De finished speaking, he threw down the two knives in his hand and walked back.
Cao De walked more than ten steps, and Ma Teng called out to Cao De, "Anbang, according to reliable reports, the Xianbei people in the north have moved!" ā
When Cao De heard this, he suddenly turned around, "What? Xianbei people? ā
Ma Teng nodded, "It's the Xianbei people, this time the Xianbei people have gathered more than 150,000 horsemen." ā
"Now that the Xianbei people are here," Cao De walked back and continued, "then our plans will have to change. ā
------
Cao De looked at Zhu Jun's gloomy face after hearing the news that Tianshui City was engulfed in flames, and told the people present even worse news.
The Xianbei people are coming!
This news is undoubtedly worse for everyone and Dahan. However, it would take at least half a month for the Xianbei people to come from the far north. This is also a blessing in disguise.
After the deliberation of everyone present, it was decided to meet with Huangfu Song first, and then make plans.
So, Cao De issued an order to Xu Shu's department, which had already withdrawn forty miles.
After Cao De and Zhu Jun rested in Shangbang for another day, the army set off for the Weishui River.
Four days later, all the Han officers and troops in Liangzhou, except for Dong Zhuo and his 40,000 cavalry, had all converged.
In the big tent of the Chinese army of more than 70,000 officers and soldiers. The left cavalry general Huangfu Song sat on the main seat, followed by the right cavalry general Zhu Jun, then the Anxi general Cao De, and finally Xu Shu and Guo Jia.
Just as they were discussing how to deal with the Xianbei people, a soldier suddenly came to report, "Huqiang Zhonglang General Dong Zhuo, General Dong has a battle report." (To be continued.) )
