Chapter 263: Pound's Intentions
Under the stable, Ma Bin, who was in a good mood, saw that the stone looked quite serious, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so restrained in front of this general. Do you know anything about this red rabbit? ”
Shi smiled slightly: "Although the little one has been raising horses in the stable, he will also find some books about horses to read in his spare time, and if he can't understand some places, he will also consult others." As far as I know, Bole once said in the "Soma Sutra" that the first step of Soma is to look at the horse's head, because the head is the most obvious external manifestation of the horse's breed, quality, physical fitness, and teeth. According to the shape of the horse's head, the predecessors vividly divided the horse into straight head, rabbit head, concave head, wedge head, half rabbit head and so on. The so-called "rabbit" of the red rabbit horse should refer to the shape of the horse's head. ”
Speaking of this, Shi Shi glanced at Ma Bin, and after seeing that he seemed very interested, he paused and continued: "A rabbit-headed, half-rabbit-headed horse, characterized by a slight protrusion above the nose, somewhat like a rabbit's head. From the perspective of the horse's physique, the rabbit-headed horse is mostly a heavy horse, which is characterized by a strong body and great strength, and is also the tallest breed of horse. Judging from the color of the red rabbit horse, it should be jujube color, which is commonly known as red. This color is typical of the coat color of steppe horses in the Western Regions. ”
Ma Bin listened attentively, he never thought that the stone would have such a study of horses, it was really unseemly, he hurriedly said: "Then in your opinion, where is the general's mount from?" ”
Shi said: "The lord's horse is a sweaty and bloody horse produced in the Western Regions, and the blood gallop is completely two types of horses compared to this red rabbit, and the lord's blood gallop is light and can travel thousands of miles a day!" Among the many breeds of horses, they should be the fastest! If Chitu can stand up again, the lord will have these two BMWs in the future, and he can also transfer according to the combat situation, I really don't know how many people will be envious! ”
There is indeed truth in the words of the stone. When he was usually fighting, Ma Bin also found that although the speed of the blood gallop was extremely fast, the level of bravery was far less than that of the red rabbit. Now that Chitu has fallen into his hands, he really feels that God has treated him well. Even if it can't get back on its feet in the end, after Lu Bu loses Chitu, it will be much easier for Ma Bin to fight him again.
After talking about this, Ma Bin took the stone to his tent. He first asked him to find a painter, and then he found a few skilled and skilled soldiers, and when everything was arranged, he let Shi Shi accompany him to a meal in the camp tent before letting him go back.
After a full meal, Ma Bin still didn't feel sleepy, for no other reason, Han Zhong, who went to hunt down Lu Bu, has not come back yet. And the person he sent to find out the news has not yet replied, so he is very worried.
Just as he was about to send a team of men and horses to meet Han Zhong, he heard a soldier say outside the tent: "General Qiyu, Han Zhong is back!" ”
Hearing this, Ma Bin personally went out to greet him, but Han Zhong, who was covered in blood, and the soldiers behind him all knelt on the ground with a thud after seeing Ma Bin.
Ma Bin didn't have to guess what was going on when he saw this situation, he quickly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Stand up and speak", finished speaking. He said to the soldiers behind Han Zhong again: "Brothers, stand up!" ”
Listen to what Ma Bin said. The crowd stood up in fear. Han Zhong said: "My lord, I didn't complete the task you explained, and I am willing to be punished!" ”
Ma Bin said: "Did you let Lu Bu escape?" ”
Han Zhong said: "That Lu Bu led the men and horses to wind along the way, they seem to be very familiar with the terrain from Dasan Pass to the plank road entrance, so we chased after it and lost it!" However, according to the judgment below, even if Na Lu Bu can escape our pursuit. But due to excessive blood loss and bumpy roads, it is estimated that even if he can return to the plank road crossing, his life will not be guaranteed! ”
Ma Bin nodded and said, "This can only mean that his life should not be extinguished!" This time you have made great contributions, this general has promoted you from 'thousands' to 'generals', and you still need to work hard in the future! ”
After hearing this, Han Zhong hurriedly thanked him!
Ma Bin said loudly: "This battle. Brothers work together to break the army! This general will be rewarded for meritorious deeds! You haven't slept all night, it's been really hard! General Ben has already prepared a banquet, so hurry up and fill your stomachs, and then have a good rest! ”
After hearing this, everyone was grateful!
After waiting for Han Zhong, Ma Bin's hanging heart was completely settled, and he came to Guo Jia's camp with arrows, but saw that Guo Jia was looking at the map intently.
Ma Bin pretended to cough twice, and after Guo Jia turned around and saw Ma Bin, he hurriedly said: "The lord has arrived, Guo has not been far away, Guo is guilty!" ”
Ma Bin glared at Guo Jia and said, "Now that there is no one around, the military advisor doesn't have to be so polite!" Han Zhong: They're back! This time it was really cheap, and even if he didn't die, it was estimated that he wouldn't attack again in a short period of time! ”
After Guo Jia heard Ma Bin's words, he just smiled and didn't express any opinions, which made Ma Bin a little surprised.
Just when Ma Bin was about to ask Guo Jia what to do next, a soldier came to report that Pang Decha had sent a letter.
After Ma Bin hurriedly opened the letter, he said to Guo Jia with a smile: "Pang De is finally going to join forces with us to deal with that Zhang Liao!" ”
As soon as Ma Bin's words fell, Guo Jia suddenly straightened his waist, took a deep breath and said, "We have suffered heavy losses in this battle!" It seems that we have to let Master Yang send new soldiers to fill it as soon as possible! ”
Ma Bin said: "The military advisor's words are very reasonable! If Na Lu Bu attacks again, our men and horses will definitely not be able to stand it! ”
Guo Jia smiled: "Soon he won't want to be so proactive!" ”
Ma Bin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Could it be that the military master has thought of a good plan again?" ”
Guo Jia smiled: "Didn't the lord already think of it?" ”
As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the tent was suddenly filled with a rare and relaxed atmosphere after the war.
However, after laughing, Ma Bin said: "How sure does the military advisor think that this time General Ben can accept that Zhang Liao?" ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Now Ma Teng has taken the opportunity to seize a large area west of Chengji, and the number of people under his command has increased sharply!" As far as I know, in recent times, although Pang De and Zhang Liao have attacked each other and suffered casualties, due to Ma Teng's continuous delivery of troops to Pang De, his strength has long been above Zhang Liao's troops! Did the lord ever wonder why Pang De didn't fight Zhang Liao, but just dragged Zhang Liao? ”
"Could it be that he is waiting for an opportunity?"
Guo Jia said: "That's true! That Pang De should have wanted to take the four counties north of Yizhou and Dasanguan in one fell swoop when we and Lu Bu were both defeated, and then covet Yizhou and Hanzhong. However, when the general defeated Guo Yan's army, and this time defeated Lu Bu's army, then Pang De should have realized that although their wings were hardened again, it was not a wise move to confront the lord at the moment! That's why Pang De sent a favor to the lord to further deepen the alliance between the lord and Namateng! In the past, our alliance with them was only on paper, but this time, if the two armies really attacked Zhang Liao with both hands, it would be tantamount to becoming a real alliance! ”
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Ma Bin nodded very approvingly, he had to admire Guo Jia, in addition to being good at using tactics, he can also analyze the interests between people very accurately, which is not easy...... (To be continued......)
