Chapter 672: Someone Wants to Pick Peaches
Ten miles east of the city, Sun Yuan and Huang You stood there with tense faces, their eyes falling on the flat ground in front of them.
The dirt on the ground has been smoothed with shovels, and it looks firmer than in other places. However, traces of blood can still be seen on the ground.
The other guards also gritted their teeth, and there were bruises on their cheeks that throbbed.
The wind blew slowly, stirring up the yellow dust in the sky and falling on his face, but he didn't think about wiping it.
After a long time, Huang Youcai cried out sadly: "Four thousand lives, the human head is not a leek, it can grow if it is cut." Ma Yaocao, horse butcher! ”
"Thief!" Sun Yuan clenched his fists and creaked, he and Ma Shiying were not very happy to cooperate, and the two of them almost turned their faces yesterday about entering the city. In the middle of the night, Ma Shiying didn't say a word to himself at all, and he killed the captives, and there was no such person as him in his eyes.
The matter of killing prisoners, Sun Yuan has not done it before. The last time Jiannu entered the Kou, he killed thousands of enemies in Botou Town in one go. But those are traitors, and it's not an exaggeration to kill them.
But now it is a civil war, and most of these dead captives are Yongcheng people, but they were coerced here by Liu Chao. This Ma Shiying said that he would slaughter, and he didn't consider that these people were also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and his heart was ruthless enough.
On the surface, his killing of prisoners had nothing to do with the Ningxiang Army, but in Sun Yuan's view, this was Ma Shiying's demonstration to himself.
Hehe, I didn't see the shadow of Lu Fengjun when I was fighting, but when I killed the prisoners, they were braver than the other, and they were mad, which was despicable.
The big traitor is really a big traitor, and the methods are really vicious!
Yu Xiang saw that Sun Yuan's face was pale, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time, so he hid far away.
Sun Yuan beckoned to him: "Yu Xiang, didn't you say that there is one more thing, report it."
。 ”
Yu Xiang said cautiously: "General Yu, early this morning, Governor Ma took Lu Fengjun to pursue Liu Chao, saying that he would not die if he fought the tiger, and he was afraid that he would suffer from it in the future, and he could not let Liu Thief relax a little." ”
"What, bastard, why did you come to tell you at this moment for such an important military matter, what did you do before?" Sun Yuan suddenly waved the horse chopping knife in his hand and slapped the blade of the knife on Yu Xiang's back.
Xiao Yu snorted in pain and fell into the dust, shrinking into a ball on the mud floor in pain. (Marshmallow offers Txt free download)
The guards were all frightened, but no one dared to step forward.
"Ma Yao, this is the right person to chase after the poor, is he brave? ! Sun Yuan smiled sarcastically, threw the horse chopping knife in his hand to Xiao Yu, and asked him to stand up.
Then let out a long roar: "Ma Yaocao is showing a certain face, yesterday a certain person just said that he would take him into the city to rest, and he didn't do it." I led the whole army to attack early this morning, but I wanted to make people think that I, Sun Yuan, were fighting passively. ”
Huang You nodded: "General, it seems that we should also attack." Otherwise, we will have to wait a few more days, once Governor Ma takes Yongcheng, we will take the credit for annihilating Liu's super army today. No matter how much we have won in this battle, it can't compare to the credit for recovering the lost territory, and our army has less credit for being robbed of it before? ”
"It turned out that I wanted to grab the credit, Ma Yaocao was so calculating. Yesterday, Liu Chao's old camp was broken, and Lao Tzu didn't get any benefit. Now that Yongcheng is an empty city, Liu Thief doesn't know how many belongings he has accumulated, could it be that Chengdu has cheapened Ma Shiying, who has no one arrow? If we pay such a big price, how can we let others pick peaches? Sun Yuan angrily spat on the ground with mud and sand, and ordered: "Inform the whole army, don't rest, give me a horse, and attack Yongcheng without stopping." Be sure to arrive within two days, even if you run to the death of the war horse, you don't hesitate to do so, as long as Yongcheng! ”
******************************************************
There seemed to be no end in sight to the long procession, and the earthy yellow dust flew all over the sky, and then it kept falling, falling on the heads and armor of the soldiers
。 (.marshmallow)
During this time, yellow became almost the only color in heaven and earth. After the sediment brought by the Yellow River from the Loess Plateau was deposited in the Yellow Plain, after several months of severe drought, it was dehydrated and then blown by the wind and fluttered in all directions.
All the soldiers of the Lufeng Army were silently hurrying away with their heads down, and a layer of dust had accumulated on their eyebrows, and their eyebrows rustled.
It was May, and the weather was so hot that sweat couldn't stop oozing out, and black marks were rushing out on his face.
After all, they are used to being pampered, and the officials and staff under Ma Shiying have walked for a day, and they are all tired and tired, and they are also crooked when they walk. Some people didn't care about the reading seeds and the dignity of the court officials, so they jumped directly into the cart and crowded together with those stinky big-headed soldiers, wilting their heads and bitter faces.
No one spoke, the scorching sun had squeezed the last of everyone's strength, and only the sound of scattered footsteps kept ringing.
At noon, everything around seemed to be shrouded in a kind of weak exhaustion, and even the red military flags were hanging on the flagpoles, swaying lazily.
Ma Shiying was covered with a face toil, and because of this, he felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and the sweat on his forehead dried and dried, and a layer of white salt flowers had accumulated.
The team set off at dawn and walked all morning, all too tired to speak.
When did his staff suffer such a crime, they were miserable all the way. But now, it seems surprisingly quiet.
Finally, one of the staff members fell from the heatstroke, tilted his head, and fell from the cart, and his body slapped flat on the ground, making the ground dusty.
The team was in chaos.
Helped the man to a shady place, poured a sip of cold water, and pinched it for a long time before he woke up.
"Do you feel better?" Ma Shiying tore off the face towel and smelled the hot taste of the May sun in her mouth and nose.
The staff was still pale, his dry lips moved, and he muttered, "Ma Shilang, why are you in such a hurry to pursue Liu Chao?" The thief Liu has been frightened since yesterday's rout, and he can no longer pose a threat to our army in the short term
。 And...... And ......"
Another mouthful of cold water was fed into his mouth.
After swallowing the cold water with difficulty, the staff continued to say weakly: "There is no need to rush to quell Liu Chao's rebellion for one day or two, that's right, the art of war is cloudy, the soldiers are fast, and our army is about to take Yongcheng in one fell swoop with the power of a great victory." But on such a hot day, before our army went to the ground, he was sunburned to death by the poisonous sun first. Ma Shilang ignored the heat and wanted to follow the example of Emperor Wu of Wei in that year, which was really admirable. But...... However, Cao Mengde had elite tigers and leopards to ride back then, but my Lu Fengjun was unbearable. It's better to let the soldiers camp and recuperate, and go to Yongcheng slowly, why rush for a while? ”
Hearing his words, several other officials and staff members were probably too tired to stand it, and they just wanted to find a cool place to sleep in Meimei immediately.
They all looked at Ma Shiying with eager eyes.
How could Ma Shiying not know that the people in the south of the Yangtze River were elegant, and these officials and staff members were all from the Shi family, and they lived and moved to the body to nourish their qi, when had they ever suffered such hardships.
"You are tired, and the old man is also tired, but he can't stop!" Ma Shiying let out a long sigh and said slowly: "That's right, on the surface, Liu Chao's army has been defeated by Sun Yuan. If any one person is so badly hit, there is no reason to worry. However, the old man met this person a few times when he was in Guizhou, and according to a certain person, Liu Thief has a tough heart and is not a person who is willing to admit defeat easily. Moreover, he is a member of the Yongcheng clan, and if he is allowed to escape back to his lair this time, he can easily raise a team again. ”
"You don't know about Yongcheng, it's located at the land hub of Henan and Nanzhili, and it's Chongdi. Because of this, the place was extremely rich, and the city was full of grain. And the city was strong in that place. If Liu Chao escapes back to Yongcheng and holds on to the city, we are afraid that we will not be able to defeat this city. Even if Sun Yuan is not him, but his subordinates are cavalry, is it difficult to let those more than 2,000 cavalry dismount and attack the city? ”
This is still one of them, and the second is that the old man suspects that Liu Chao has surrendered to Li Chuang. Yongcheng is so important that it is a battleground for thieves to enter the Central Plains eastward. If the old man is Li Zicheng, even if the battle in Kaifeng is in full swing, he will send a partial division to come to the rescue. ”
"When the time comes, the thief army will echo each other inside and outside the city, and this battle will also be fought for a long time." Ma Shiying's sigh was even louder: "The drought is like this, our army gathers in Yongcheng, and when the army food is exhausted, this battle will be lost." Therefore, the old man urged Sun Yuan to pursue Liu Thief as soon as possible yesterday, and he must not be allowed to escape. Ma Shiying: "Today's situation is really a bit like King Wu of Wei chasing Zhang Xiu during the Three Kingdoms, that's right, the old man doesn't have Cao Mengde's mighty tiger and leopard cavalry, but there is a Ningxiang cavalry army at hand, as long as he is bitten by the cavalry, Liu Chao doesn't want to run."
。 ”
"I see, yes, if Liu Chao escapes back to Yongcheng and defends the city, there is really no way to fight this battle." Everyone suddenly realized, and then someone sighed: "It's a pity that Sun Taichu is really arrogant and domineering, and he can't realize your hard work." ”
Another staff member stomped his feet: "Squire, since you value Sun Taichu so much and value the Ningxiang Army, you should make this matter clear to him, why do you have to set off with Lu Fengjun in the starry night, doesn't that make him misunderstand that we want to rob him of his credit?" ”
Ma Shiying didn't speak.
One of the soldiers shouted: "What can you do with Sun Taichu's clear words, can't you see this person's temperament, he is the most arrogant and conceited." Moreover, since the merger of our two armies, Sun Yuan has been lukewarm with Ma Shilang, obviously having prejudices. ”
Speaking of this, he sneered: "What Sun Taichu said to Ma Shilang yesterday has all been heard, 'The matter of the war is the clearest' Isn't it clear that the squire does not understand the art of war, so let the squire not meddle in military affairs?" How can such people cooperate? ”
Everyone is a shrewd person, who has been mixed in the political arena all his life, and has a talent for grasping people's hearts, and immediately understood the meaning of these words, and they all looked angry.
Ma Shiying said slowly: "The old man led Lu Fengjun to pursue Liu Chao, which was originally a gesture of grabbing merit, and he was about to use this method to provoke Sun Taichu to send troops. ”
"But Squire, doesn't this make you bear the stigma of nothing?"
Ma Shiying patted the tree beside him with his hand, and said awe-inspiringly: "Actually, the old man also knows this, Liu Chao is cunning, if you want to take down his head, you can only rely on Sun Yuan's cavalry army, and our Lufeng army is nothing more than a show." The state affairs have been eroded like this, if I can punish Liu Thief for the country, even if Sun Yuan misunderstands me, the world will laugh at me Ma Shiying is a villain. The old man is selfless in his heart, so why is he afraid of people's words? ”
At this moment, this famous traitor in history has a solemn face.
"Squire!" Everyone trembled at the same time and fell to the ground.
At this time, there was billowing smoke and dust in the distance behind like a long dragon, and in an instant, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was like thunder.
Ma Shiying's spirits were lifted, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "Sun Taichu is a man of temperament, and he really came." ”
