"Huh? Wrong! ”

When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed down from the hill like a tide, Ma Chao, who was still standing on the small hill, suddenly noticed that the situation was a little abnormal, and the baggage soldiers of the coalition army, who should have panicked at this time, seemed to be very calm, although there were many soldiers running back and forth, howling, the scene did look chaotic.

However, Ma Chao found the flaw at a glance.

Except for those soldiers who were running back and forth, the rest of the baggage soldiers were too calm! They are like a group of dangerous killers, quietly guarding the same place, coldly waiting for the Xiliang Iron Horse to come and fight!

"Blow the trumpet!" Ma Yue Huo Ran raised the Sky Wolf Spear and shouted coldly, "Stop attacking!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

Ma Chao gave an order, and the desolate and low horn sounded in an instant, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was surging down like the same tide, suddenly heard the horn, pulled out the horse's head without hesitation, changed the direction of the sprint, made a big turn at the foot of the mountain, and swept through the right wing of the coalition army's baggage troops, and returned to the original point.

"Herald ......" Ma Chao pulled the wolf spear back and said coldly, "Withdraw the army back to Xingyang!" ”

……

Xiahou Yuan was stunned as the Xiliang Iron Horse swept over, retreated like a tide, and said to Cao Ren beside him: "Zixiao, this is ...... What the fuck is going on? Why did the Xiliang cavalry retreat again? ”

"I can't." Cao Ren also scratched his head and said in confusion, "Could it be ...... The Western Liang cavalry found a flaw? ”

Xiahou Yuan licked his lips and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to raise fire to summon ambush soldiers?" ”

Cao Ren frowned and said: "The Xiliang cavalry has not been fooled, what is the use of summoning ambushes?" ”

Xiahou Yuan said unwillingly: "Is it just that?" ”

Cao Ren was annoyed: "Then what else? ”

"Hey."

Xiahou Yuan hatefully punched the heavy wheel next to him, and immediately smashed the thigh-thick wheel in two, the tightly wrapped curtain burst open, and three or five heavily armed armor soldiers rushed out of the carriage shouting, and then were very unlucky to be kicked to the ground by Xiahou Yuan, who was in a bad mood.

……

Long Society.

Before the coalition forces arrived, the Xiliang army withdrew from Changshe in a big way, and the coalition army entered and occupied Changshe without spending a single soldier. It was getting late, so Yuan Shu ordered the army to temporarily stay in the city of Changshe.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

When Yuan Shu was convening all the princes and the main generals and strategists under his command to discuss the matter, he suddenly saw Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren enter the big tent dejectedly.

Before Yuan Shu could ask a question, Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists and said, "Yuan Hussar, the last general is incompetent, and you are disappointed." ”

Yuan Shu asked, "What's the matter, you lost the battle?" ”

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said, "That's not true." ”

Yuan Shu said: "Then you won?" ”

"Not either." Xiahou Yuan said, "The Xiliang soldiers are about to be ambushed, but I don't know why they retreated again, it's really infuriating." ”

"What? Xiliang soldiers didn't have a plan! ”

Yuan Shu glanced at Guo Jia suspiciously, only to see Guo Jia's natural expression.

Guo Jia laughed and said indifferently: "This is also expected, if the horse butcher is so easy to win, then it is not a horse butcher." ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "Military division, the main general of the Liangzhou Army who came to intercept the baggage team seems to be Ma Chao. ”

"Ma Chao!?" Xiahou Yuan's voice fell, and a terrible roar suddenly sounded in the big tent, and then a figure jumped out of the crowd, gritting his teeth and saying to Yuan Shu, "Lord, it was this Ma Chao who killed the three generals Dong Xi, Chen Wu and Cheng Pu!" Still...... He also cut off the nose and two ears of the last general...... The lord must avenge the last general. ”

Everyone looked at it anxiously, only to see that this person was Yuan Shu's henchman Qiao Rui, at this time, Qiao Rui's head was wrapped in a white cloth, and there was still faint blood oozing from it, which was extremely embarrassing. Qiao Rui's voice fell, and Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian stepped forward, stood in front of the tent and said sharply: "I am willing to borrow 3,000 elite soldiers as the front of the general, swear to chase and kill Ma Chao to the death, and swear to swear to fight for General Qiao Rui." ”

Poor Sun Jian is also a generation of fierce generals, but he has fallen into the situation of borrowing troops from others to take revenge, who do you complain to?

"Wentai." Yuan Shu hurriedly stepped forward to touch Sun Jian's shoulder, and persuaded in a harmonious voice, "Don't make noise for a while, don't be in a hurry to take revenge in advance." ”

"Report the ......" Yuan Shu's voice fell, and suddenly a junior colonel walked into the tent and said loudly, "Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the two generals, ask to see outside the tent. ”

"Zhou Tai! Jiang Qin!? Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, grabbed Xu Shu's shoulder beside him, and shouted in a carried away, "Yuan Zhi, have you heard, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are not dead yet?" My Jiangdong elite was not wiped out, hahaha, not all ...... was wiped out."

Xu Shu trembled and said in a low voice: "The lord ......"

The princes of all walks of life in the tent and all the civil and military generals all looked gloomy, and they were all touched by Sun Jian's kindness to his subordinates, and those who treated the soldiers well were none other than Jiangdong Sun Wentai.

Yuan Shu patted Sun Jian's shoulder, raised his head and said quickly: "Come on, please Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, two generals!" ”

"The hussar general has an order, and there are two generals, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin!"

The little colonel let out a long howl, and heavy footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the figure flashed, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were not in good clothes, had already entered with pride, although the two were tired and wanted to die, they still straightened their bodies, like two arrogant pines, standing proudly on the thousand-year-old rock.

"The last general, Zhou Tai (Jiang Qin)." Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin clenched their fists and said quickly, "See the lord, see the hussar generals, see the generals!" ”

Sun Jian took a step forward and held on tightly to the hands of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, but he was speechless for a long time.

Yuan Shu saw that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were both tigers with a bear's waist and murderous eyes, and couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "The real tiger general!" ”

From time to time, Yuan Shao's strategist Xu You, because he was not satisfied with Guo Jia's reputation, came out and said: "What the two generals Xiahou and Cao Ren said that the ambush strategy set by Mr. Fengxiao does not seem to work?" ”

"Haha......" Guo Jia smiled and said indifferently, "I don't expect to be able to ambush successfully in Xiayuan." ”

"Oh?" Xu You said coldly, "So, attacking Xingyang and ambushing Ma Chao are just pretenses?" ”

"It's not a pretense." Guo Jia said, "If you can recapture Xingyang, or if you succeed in ambushing Ma Chao, it will be better, if you don't succeed, it doesn't matter the overall situation, because the real purpose of the coalition army is to recapture Changshe!" ”

"What?" Xu You lost his voice and said, "Is it to recapture a county seat?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "Mr. Ziyuan, don't underestimate this small county town, if the coalition army can make good use of these small county towns, advance city by city, and press forward step by step, they can force the horse butcher's 50,000 Xiliang cavalry back to the Tiger Prison Pass!" As long as the Xiliang cavalry enters the tiger prison, it is like a tiger without fangs, and the evil wolf has lost its claws, and it can no longer pose a threat to the coalition army. At that time, the coalition forces will be able to take what they want, attack and defend freely, and control the situation! ”

Xu Shu on the side listened to it again and again, and his eyes showed different colors. Suddenly, Xu Shu seemed to be aware, looked back in shock, and happened to meet Guo Jia's deep gaze, Xu Shu smiled slightly, but his heart was awe-inspiring: this person's wisdom is far above himself, and for the sake of the lord's great cause, he can't stay at all!

……

Nango.

The coalition battalion, Li urged the big tent.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Li Su hurriedly walked into the big tent and urged Li: "Lord, good news! ”

"Oh?" Li Qi said happily, "What good news?" ”

Li Su looked around at no one on the left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "The villain just received a secret letter sent by General Hu Chi'er (not Hu Che'er). ”

"Hu Chi'er? Didn't Guo Yan have been a horse butcher after his death? "Where is he now?" ”

Li Su said: "It's in Wuguan!" ”

"What?" Li condensed and said, "Hu Chi'er is in Wuguan? ”

"Yes!" Li Su said in a deep voice, "Hu Chi'er is in Wuguan. Hu Chi'er wrote that the horse butcher was very mean to the Liangzhou army, and Hu Chi'er and his sergeants had many complaints, so they sent a secret letter to the people, intending to surrender to Cheng. ”

Li urged Daxi and said, "Really? ”

"It's true!" Li Su said in a low voice, "Now that the coalition forces from all walks of life have been frustrated, if the lord can attack and occupy Wuguan in one fell swoop, it will inevitably boost the morale of the coalition army, and when the time comes, the Son of Heaven Longyan Dayue will have a heavy reward, and no one can take away this great credit, even if it is the hussar general Yuan Shu, he is afraid that he will be impressed by the lord, hehehe......"

"Good!" Li Xuan excitedly struck the knot, "Immediately send someone to contact Hu Chi'er, and agree on a date for the dedication, and the general should personally lead the army to meet him." ”

"Yes."

Li Su clenched his fists, turned around and walked away.

……

Three days later, night.

Li urged 2,000 old Liangzhou troops (all cavalry) to pull out the camp at night and secretly march towards Wuguan.

Because they did not trust each other, the four armies of the Southern Route Coalition Army were all camped separately, so the departure of Li Qi's army did not alarm the three-way coalition forces of Liu Biao, Xu Gong and Chen Ji. Until the early morning of the next day, when Liu Biao and others found that Li Xuan's camp had been emptied, Li Xuan's army was already dozens of miles away.

Li urged the army to stay overnight, marched all the way, and finally arrived at Wuguan late at night on the third day.

Li Xuan arranged for the soldiers to rest in a secluded place, and asked Li Su to contact Hu Chi'er, and in less than two hours, Li Su led Hu Chi'er to Li Chi'er, and as soon as they met, Hu Chi'er cried and said: "General, you are back, brothers, I have been looking forward to you for a long time." ”

Li urged forward to help Hu Chi'er and said with emotion: "The brothers have suffered. ”

Hu Chi'er exchanged tears and couldn't cry: "The general will not leave when he returns to Wuguan this time, right?" ”

"I'm not leaving." Li urged, "Not only will I not leave, but I will also take the brothers to recapture Chang'an, recapture Guanzhong, and drive the horse butcher back to Liangzhou and Hetao." ”

"The brethren have been looking forward to this day for a long time!" Hu Chi'er wiped her tears and said in a condensed voice, "General, everything has been arranged, the brothers guarding the pass tonight are all the henchmen of the last general, and they are also the old brothers of the Liangzhou Army." Half an hour later, with the fire as a signal, the last general and the brothers will open the gate, and then the general will be able to lead the army commander straight in. ”

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded and said in a condensed voice, "Hu Chi'er, you just stay with General Ben, you don't have to go back to Wuguan." ”

Li Qisheng's surname is suspicious, for fear that there will be fraud in it, and leaving Hu Chi'er by his side will undoubtedly add an extra layer of protection.

Hu Chi'er didn't seem to realize Li Xuan's intentions at all, and responded without thinking: "The last general will take the order." ”

……

Half an hour later.

Li Xuan's 2,000 army quietly touched the pass under the cover of the thick night, Hu Chi'er pinched his throat and learned two wolf howls, and a torch was lit on the wall of the pass, and two circles were drawn towards the outside of the pass, and then only the sound of creaking was heard, and the closed door slowly opened.

Li urged Huo Ran to turn around and said to Li Su: "Where is Li Su?" ”

Li Su hurriedly stepped forward and said quickly: "The villain is here." ”

Li urged: "General Ben and your three hundred men and horses will respond outside the pass." ”

"Yes."

"Hu Chi'er."

"The end will be."

"General Suiben...... Grab the level! ”

"Yes!"

Li urged an order, and nearly 2,000 old departments of Liangzhou poured in. Li Xun followed Hu Chi'er to rush into the pass, only to see that the pass was dark and silent, and there was not even a ghost shadow! Li Qi faintly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back in a hurry, he saw that Hu Chi'er had already fled into the shadows.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Li Xuan shouted, hurriedly swung his sword and shouted, "Withdraw, quickly withdraw from the Guanwai ......"

However, it was already too late.

Li Xuan's voice fell, only to hear a loud bang, the jack gate has fallen heavily, blocking the road out of the old department of Liangzhou nearly two thousand in an instant, the next moment, countless torches lit from the wall, as bright as the daylight of the fire, the black archers have crowded the wall, holding bows and arrows, and the sharp arrow clusters have been aimed at the helpless Liangzhou rebels in Guanzhong.

"Li Xuan, General Ben has been waiting for you for a long time!"

In the midst of a loud shout, a majestic figure suddenly appeared on the wall, and Li Xun was suddenly devoured by thunder! He never thought that he would meet the horse butcher in Wuguan! Didn't the horse butcher confront the 300,000 troops of the Central Coalition Army far away in Yingchuan, when did he come to Wuguan?

If Li Xun had known that the horse butcher was in Wuguan, he would not have dared to lead the army to steal the pass.

What made Li Su feel even more desperate was that Li Su, who had always been relied on by him as a cronie, was actually by the side of the horse butcher at this time, it was obvious that Li Su had already been tied to the horse butcher and designed everything, only he, Li Xun, was still like a fool, unconsciously falling into the trap carefully set by the horse butcher.

"Li Xuan, get off the horse and surrender!" Ma Yue shouted, "General Ben can spare you from death!" ”

Li Xuan sighed, knowing that there was no luck today, so he dismounted and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "I wish to surrender." ”

……

Nanxiang, Liu Biao's big tent in the army.

Liu Biao said to Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue worriedly: "It's been three days, and there is still no news back!" Where did this Li Xuan go? ”

Although there are only 2,000 people in Li Xuan's department, they are all Xiliang cavalry! This is undoubtedly an important force used to resist the Xiliang Legion for the coalition army, which is seriously lacking in cavalry. Therefore, Liu Biao still attaches great importance to Li Xuan's 2,000 cavalry, and naturally does not want anything to happen to him.

Kuai Yue said: "Li Xuan is likely to lead his troops to attack Wuguan." ”

"Rushing to Wuguan?" General Liu Biao was suspicious, "Li Xuan only has 2,000 soldiers, and they are all cavalry, and he has no equipment needed to attack the fortification, how can this battle be fought?" ”

Kuai Yue said: "Li Xuyuan is Dong Zhuo's old general, and Fu Xie, the general of Wuguan, is also from the Liangzhou Shi clan, and most of the three thousand soldiers under his command are also Dong Zhuo's old department, and it is unknown whether there is a connection between them. This time, Li Xun led his troops to say goodbye, and there was a ** thing that was the martial guard general Fu Xie wanted to surrender to the pass, and then Li Xun wanted to monopolize this credit. ”

"Fu Xie's dedication?" Kuai Liang said in a condensed voice, "Could this be a sham?" ”

Kuai Yue said: "There are not many good strategists under the horse butcher, and he is good at internal affairs and not good at strategy, although Guo Tu is cunning, it is a pity that he has died in battle, and Jia Xu has always been inseparable from the horse butcher, and he is naturally in Yingchuan at this time." Apart from these people, I really can't think of anyone else who can fool the suspicious Li Xuan? ”

Liu Biao said: "I hope Fu Xie is really descended." ”

Kuai Yue said: "Whether it is a real surrender or a fraudulent surrender, there will be news soon." ”

"Lord!" Kuai Yue's voice fell, and suddenly Wei Hejian stepped inside, and said, "Wuguan is urgent." ”

Liu Biaohuo Ran got up and said loudly: "Speak." ”

Wei He said: "General Li Xuan led two thousand cavalry to attack Wuguan, although there was an internal should open the gate, but it was recognized by Fu Xie, the guard of Wuguan, and the two armies fought in the pass, and there were casualties among each other. Today, the two armies are still facing each other in the pass, and General Li urged to come with a horse as soon as possible, asking the lord and the army of Xu Gong and Chen Ji to come to the aid immediately. ”

"That's how it came to be." Kuai Yue struck the knot and said, "It seems that Fu Xie is neither a true surrender nor a fraudulent surrender. ”

Liu Biao said blankly: "What's going on?" ”

Kuai Yue said loudly: "It seems that Fu Xie's subordinates are about to surrender, but Fu Xie saw through it, which led to the failure of Li Xie's surprise attack and the current stalemate. ”

Liu Biao said: "Should troops be sent to rescue?" ”

Kuai Yue said: "Naturally, you have to save." If you can attack Wuguan in one fell swoop, you can form a fatal threat to Guanzhong and Chang'an, and it will inevitably contain a large part of the manpower and material resources of the horse butcher! After the victory of the rebellion in the future, the court will reward meritorious deeds, and the lord will also be a great achievement. Why not do such a beautiful thing? ”

"Well, Xenomorph has a point." Liu Biao nodded happily and said to Wei He, "Wei He, quickly go and inform Xu Gong and Chen Ji, and come to the camp immediately to discuss matters." ”

"The last will obey."

Wei He suddenly agreed, and Shi immediately turned around and walked away.

……

Wuguan, Ma Yue big tent.

Ma Yue stood according to the case, Dian Wei stood behind him like a fierce god, and Ju Tu, Fu Xie, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Hu Chi'er, Li Su, Li Xun and others stood in turn.

Ma Yue glanced around at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice: "General Ben's words, have you all heard clearly?" ”

Li Meng, Wang Fang and others hurriedly straightened their chests and said, "It's all clear!" ”

"Good!" Ma Yue nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go your separate ways!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals suddenly agreed and left one after another, only Li Xuan looked embarrassed, and he didn't stay or leave, just now Ma Yue assigned everyone's tasks, but he didn't assign him a task. Thinking about it, Li Xuancai has been under Ma Yue's account for less than a day, and no matter how eloquent the horse butcher is, he doesn't dare to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

Therefore, Li Xuan did not resent Ma Yue because of this.

Ma Yue turned around slowly, stared at Li Xuan expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "General Li Xuan, what do you say...... How should General Ben arrange for you? ”

Li Xuan's face changed, and he knelt at Ma Yue's feet and said in a trembling voice: "The last general has nothing to ask for, but to ask the general to give him a way to live." ”

Ma Yue smiled faintly, a cold murderous intent slowly bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and said: "General Ben can give you anything, but he can't give you a way out." ”

Li Xuan's face suddenly turned pale, and he fell to the ground.

Dian Wei walked in front of Li Xuan like a fierce spirit, and two heavy iron halberds were put on Li Xuan's neck, and he said sharply: "On the order of the lord, send the general on the road." ”

"Ugh."

Li Yu sighed and lowered his head weakly.

Seeing Li Xuan leave under the escort of Dian Wei, there was an inexplicable cold light in Ma Yue's eyes that flashed away, Li Xuan was different from Duan Xuan and Yang Feng, and his reputation in the old department of Liangzhou was almost comparable to Guo Yan! If it was normal times, Ma Yue naturally didn't worry about Li Xuan's dissenting intentions, but now that the army of the Four Routes Alliance is pressing, Ma Yue's army is worried about annihilation at every turn, and at this juncture, any mistake will cause a fatal disaster!

Even if Ma Yue is the craziest gambler in the world, he will never gamble on Li Xun's loyalty with his net worth and surname!

……

Long Society.

The big camp of the coalition army, the big tent of the Yuan Shu Central Army.

Yuan Yin panted into the big tent and said to Yuan Shu: "Brother, something happened." ”

Yuan Shu was discussing with Guo Jia, Sun Jian, Xu Shu and others, and said anxiously: "Third brother, what's wrong?" ”

Yuan Yin gasped and said: "Just now, Yingchuan Taishou Sima Lang and Chen Liutai Shou Qiao Mao came to report that more than 30 cities in the two counties have been ransacked by the horse butcher's Xiliang cavalry, except for a few larger cities such as Chen Liu and Yangzhai!" What is particularly outrageous is that the horse butchers also forcibly relocated hundreds of thousands of people from the city to Luoyang. ”

"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Guo Jia's eyes froze, and he said in a low voice, "I didn't expect the horse butcher to have such a vision, amazing!" Speaking of which, in this first round of the competition, he won the horse butcher, hehe. ”

Although Guo Jia admitted that he had lost, he was not discouraged in his words, as if he had won.

Yuan Shu was puzzled and said, "Is the horse butcher crazy?" Guan, Liang, and Hetao already have small populations and limited grain stocks, so at this time, forcibly requisitioning Yingchuan and Chen Liu's people into Luoyang will not increase the burden on themselves and accelerate the consumption of military rations? Isn't this self-defeating? ”

"That's true in the short term, but not in the long run." Guo Jia said, "After the last Dong Zhuo Rebellion, the people of Guanzhong Sanfu have all been moved to the north by the horse butchers, which has caused the emptiness of the land of Guanzhong, and the people of Yingchuan and Chen left by the horse butchers are to make up for the lack of population in Guanzhong, and with the support of the people, the horse butchers can stabilize his rule in Chang'an Sanfu." ”

Yuan Shu said: "But where did the butcher get the food to supply these immigrants?" ”

Guo Jia said: "This is exactly where the confusion is, but since the horse butcher dares to do this, he must have his reason, and he has to see where the horse butcher is going to get food to supply these immigrants?" ”

……

Wuguan.

Liu Biao, Xu Gong, and Chen Ji finally arrived.

Li Su led hundreds of cavalry to meet the outside of the pass, Liu Biao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Li Su, where is General Li Su?" ”

Li Su said: "I am supervising the battle in Guanzhong." ”

Liu Biao said: "What is the situation? ”

Li Su said: "The situation is very bad, Ma Wei's 2,000 reinforcements have arrived from Hangu Pass, and the camp in the pass is numerous, the streets are narrow, which is not conducive to cavalry assault, our army is retreating step by step, and most of Wuguan has fallen into the hands of the rebels!" If the reinforcements of the three adults are half a day late, our army is afraid that they will abandon the pass. ”
