Chapter 162: Bluffing

"Woo woo~~"

"Knock knock~~"

Huang Wan waited in the big tent for a long time and didn't see Ma Yue coming, and when he was in doubt, he suddenly heard the horn outside the tent and the sound of drums shaking the sky, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Where is the horn sound?" ”

No one on the left and right could answer, and suddenly saw Gongsun Ba hurriedly entering, his face was anxious, and said: "My lord, it's not good, the horse butcher went directly to the big school field after entering the gate, and now he is blowing the trumpet and counting the soldiers." ”

"What? Horse butcher went to the big school field? Huang Wan was taken aback and lost his voice, "He also blows the trumpet and points the soldiers, he is not a general who protects the Huns now, who gave him the right to do this, it is really unreasonable!" ”

Gongsun said domineeringly: "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

Huang Wan said angrily: "What else can I do, immediately pick up the eighty dead soldiers and go to the big school with this official." ”

Gongsun said domineeringly: "Obey the order." ”

……

The big school field.

The long and long horn sound has been unceasing, and the fierce war drums are like beating in the hearts of the soldiers, which makes people's blood boil, and a group of ironclad soldiers have driven out of the barracks, and entered the colonel's field to set up a formation, with swords raised simultaneously, spears like a forest, and the entire colonel's field is filled with a tragic killing atmosphere.

Ma Yue was dressed in black iron armor, standing solemnly with his sword, and the whole person was like an angular stone, standing coldly on the parade platform.

Ma Yue bowed his head slightly to the parade platform, and the evil man Dian Wei snorted, holding a heavy flag straight up to the parade platform, and slammed the big flag in his hand into the air.

On the side, there is also an embroidered line of small characters of "The Great Han Protects the Huns".

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

The two thousand elite soldiers under the solemn parade platform raised their weapons in unison and shouted three times in response, not how much they supported Ma Yue in their hearts, this was just the etiquette of the Han army to pay tribute to the main general, nothing more, Ma Yue would never be naΓ―ve to think that these two thousand elite soldiers would be loyal to him because of the butcher's murderous name.

Ma Yue stood on the parade platform and looked at it, although the Han army under the stage was neatly formed and imposing, faintly revealing the solemn and murderous atmosphere that only a division of a hundred battles can have, but the number of people was obviously wrong, and there were only about 2,000 people under the parade platform, why was there a full 6,000 people missing?

Ma Yue's gaze fell on a junior colonel in the front row of the Han army like a knife, and said loudly: "You~~ out of the ranks!" ”

The little colonel took a step forward proudly, and met the eyes like a horse leaping knife, with a calm and calm expression.

"Hmm." Ma Yue bowed his head lightly and said quickly, "What is your ~~ name?" ”

Xiao Xiao said: "Villain Fang Yue." ”

"Fang Yue." Ma Yue said in a deep voice, "Why are there only two thousand people, and the rest of the six thousand?" ”

Fang Yue said: "General Hui, the remaining six thousand brothers have been ordered to transfer to the south. ”

"Feng Zhao Nantuo?" Ma Yue's brows furrowed for a moment, and then he said sharply, "Do you know who General Ben is?" ”

Fang Yue said: "I know, the general is the new general of the Han Dynasty who protects the Huns, General Ma Yuema." ”

Ma Yue said: "Now that you know the name and identity of this general, why don't you see it?" ”

Fang Yue knelt down and said loudly: "The villain knocks on the general." ”

"Knock to the general~~"

"Knock to the general~~"

"Knock to the general~~"

Behind Fang Yue, the two thousand Han soldiers fell to their knees in an instant, and there was no one standing under the parade platform, Ma Yue nodded, and said indifferently: "Okay, get up." ”

"General Xie."

The soldiers thanked Ma Yue and got up with a bang.

Ma Yue said to Fang Yue: "Fang Yue, this general knows that you are good at martial arts, and you are also quite capable of governing the army, and now I order you to be the Sima of the Left Army and command these two thousand brothers." ”

"Wait!"

Fang Yue was about to bow to Xie and receive his order, a clear shout suddenly sounded outside the school field, and he stopped Fang Yue abruptly, and everyone looked back, only to see the angel Huang Wan coming in a hurry under the escort of eighty Jin Wuwei, Huang Wan rode his horse until the parade stage, and then turned over and dismounted, looked up at Ma Yue on the stage and said: "General Ma Yue, this envoy has not yet read the edict of the Son of Heaven, how can he make claims, appoint and dismiss personnel?" ”

Ma Yue stretched out his hand and said coldly: "In this case, please ask the angel to read the edict in public." ”

Huang Wan said: "What a sacred thing is reading the edict, how can it be child's play? The general also needs to bathe in incense, kneel three times and bow nine times, please move to the big tent immediately, wait for the generals and colonels of the Qi army, civil and military officials, and then read the edict is not too late. ”

"No need." Ma Yue said coldly, "Please Lord Angel here." ”

"You~" Huang Wan said angrily, "You dare to be disrespectful to angels? ”

"Qiang Qiang Qiang ~~"

Huang Wan's voice fell, Gongsun Ba and the eighty dead soldiers of Qiao Xiang Jin Wuwei had already drawn their weapons, but before they could take the stage to assassinate, Ma Yue's two hundred elite soldiers had already poured out from behind the parade platform, surrounding the eighty people, Dian Wei on the parade platform even thrust the banner heavily on the stage, turned his hand and pulled out two big iron halberds from behind, and struck heavily in front of him, suddenly making a thunderous sound.

Gongsun Ba and the eighty dead soldiers changed color, but the two thousand Han troops under the parade platform looked indifferent.

"What about being disrespectful?" Ma Yue shouted, pointed his finger at Huang Wan and scolded, "General Ben is the woman who robbed you, but it's just a personal vendetta, how can you miss the state affairs and deliberately withhold the holy decree without announcing it!?" As a result, this general was invaded by Xiaoxiao, and countless loyal and brave soldiers were damaged, and these responsibilities should be borne by you, and it is not too much for this general to kill you. ”

Huang Wan's face turned blue with anger, and he said in a speech: "You~~"

Ma Yue didn't give Huang Wan a chance to argue at all, and said sharply: "What are you!" Could it be that General Ben has wronged you? ”

Huang Wan had already begun to tremble, and said angrily: "You~~You~~"

At this moment, Jia Xu's figure appeared outside the school field and waved to Ma Yue, and a sinister smile suddenly bloomed at the corner of Ma Yue's mouth.

"Newspaper~~"

Jia Xu's figure had just gone away, and suddenly three or five gang leaders hurried to the school field, knelt down far away under the parade platform and said to Ma Yue: "General, the imperial wine sent by the angel to the gang room is poisonous, and several guys are greedy and steal a few mouthfuls of imperial wine, and they don't want to ~~ don't want to be poisoned." ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Imperial wine is poisonous?"

"Damn, let us drink poisoned wine?"

"It's going to poison us!"

The two thousand soldiers of the Han army exclaimed in surprise, and their faces showed inexplicable anger.

These soldiers are coarse people, they don't understand any big truths at all, and it is impossible to calmly analyze whether there is another mystery in it, what they think and do is always very simple, whoever is good to them, they will give their lives, and if anyone wants to be unfavorable to them, they will immediately turn their faces and be ruthless, draw knives and stab people.

"Huang Wan!" Ma Yue shouted, "General Ben has a hatred for taking his wife from you, and it is reasonable for you to deliberately make things difficult for General Ben, but why do you want to be angry with the irrelevant soldiers of the three armies?" And ~~ I have to put the brothers under the command of this general to death! Why is your heart so vicious? ”

"This official doesn't have ~~How can he ~~" Huang Wan was so angry that he couldn't speak, and said angrily, "You~~ You are talking nonsense!" ”

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

The two thousand soldiers became more and more angry after Ma Yue's pull, and they roared angrily.

Huang Wan was anxious and angry, turned around and explained to the two thousand soldiers: "Soldiers, you listen to the official's explanation, things are not like this~~"

However, no one paid attention to Huang Wan's screams at all, and the anger of the two thousand soldiers was like the waves of a river, wave after wave, and gradually there were signs of losing control.

The eighty dead soldiers who followed behind Huang Wan were all as pale as dirt! These dead soldiers are good at saying dead soldiers, but they usually kill a few people and run rampant in the township, how can they be compared with the border soldiers who have rolled in the pile of dead people? At this moment, I saw the roar of the two thousand Han soldiers who collapsed into the ground, and they were already so frightened that their legs cramped.

Ma Yue shook his head indifferently, and a cold word burst out from between his teeth: "Kill!" ”

"Do it!"

Dian Wei snorted, and the two hundred elite soldiers who had been waiting for a long time surrounded him, and Dian Wei even brandished two big iron halberds to take Gongsun Ba, and in less than a moment, Emperor Han Ling's eighty dead soldiers carefully selected from Luoyang were slaughtered, and Gongsun Ba, a great swordsman, was also beheaded by Dian Wei's halberd.

Huang Wan was shocked and angry, and scolded Ma Yue: "Ma Yue, butcher, you~~"

Ma Yue didn't want to give Huang Wan another chance to explain the truth of the matter, so he coldly ordered: "Dian Wei, cut his tongue." ”

"Yes."

Dian Wei snorted, stepped forward to pick up Huang Wan like a chicken, and then pulled out the cow ear sharp knife and stirred it into Huang Wan's mouth, Huang Wan immediately screamed, opened his mouth and spit out a ball of flesh and blood, and then babbled hoarsely, and could no longer make a sound, only a pair of eyes glared at Ma Yue viciously, becoming more and more poignant.

Dian Wei searched out the holy decree from Huang Wan's sleeve again, and held it with both hands on the parade platform.

Ma Yue took the holy decree, unfolded it and raised the soldiers of the three armies under the parade platform, and said quickly: "The brothers have all seen it, right? What is this? ”

"Holy Decree."

"General Ben officially declares that from today onwards you will be Lao Tzu's soldiers!"

"Knock to the general~"

The two thousand soldiers fell to their knees, shouting much more enthusiastically than before, and they obviously admired Ma Yue's decisive style. A soldier should have the iron-blooded style of a soldier, kill when he kills, and chop when he chops, where is there so much mud and water?

Ma Yue raised his right arm abruptly, and waited for the cheers of the soldiers to exhaust a little before shouting: "Where is Fang Yue?" ”

Fang Yue clenched his fists and said loudly: "The villain is here." ”

Ma Yue stared straight at Fang Yue and said sharply: "From now on, you will be the Sima of the Left Army under the command of this general, commanding these two thousand soldiers and horses!" ”

"The last will obey."

……

Shangjun, General Guotai's Mansion.

Li Le said to Mrs. Guo: "General, just after the horse visit report, the horse butcher's 30,000 army has really left Meiji, and the soldiers have been divided into three ways to kill and go to Bingzhou, and the details in the direction of Bingzhou have also sent back the news, there are indeed three ways of army killing into Bingzhou, it seems that the horse butcher is really going to raise troops to retaliate." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Guo's expression moved, and she hurriedly walked to the table, looked at the map, and said in a condensed voice, "The horse butcher really sent troops to attack the state?" ”

Hu Cai said: "General, the opportunity is rare, please send troops quickly." ”

Mrs. Guo turned her gaze to Li Le and asked, "Li Le, what is your opinion?" ”

Li Le said: "General, the Son of Heaven gave a secret edict to order our army to attack the Hetao while it was weak, but it was just a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and the purpose was nothing more than two, either to get rid of the general by the hand of Ma Yue, or to get rid of Ma Yue by the hand of the general, no matter who wins in the end, it is beneficial and harmless to the imperial court." ”

Guo Taidao: "In other words, our army should not attack? ”

"Definitely." Li Le shook his head and said, "If Ma Yue does not send troops to attack Bingzhou, our army's Northern Expedition is only afraid that it will be a lose-lose situation, but now that Ma Yue's army is exhausted, the rear is empty, and if the general leads the army to attack suddenly, he will be able to pacify the Hetao in one fell swoop!" When Ma Yue heard the news, he would be in chaos, and with Ding Yuan's ability, he would be able to follow the pursuit, and Ma Yue would definitely be defeated. ”

Hu Cai said: "In this way, our army can easily occupy the Hetao, and the Son of Heaven must fulfill his promise, issue an edict to reset Shuozhou, and then entitle the general as the assassin of Shuozhou. ”

Li Le said: "If the general is unwilling to be subservient, there will be a battle with the horse butcher sooner or later, and it is better to fight late than to fight early." ”

Hu Cai said: "Please make a decision." ”

Mrs. Guo's eyes flickered, and she began to shoot the case in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, and I will start the army in three days!" ”

……

Meiji, Guo Tu's big tent.

"Huh?" Gao Shun said solemnly, "The whole army will march and set up an ambush at the water source two hundred miles north of Qiuci City!" ”

"Not bad!" Guo Tu said in a deep voice, "This battle is a big fanfare to attack Ding Yuan, and it is true to quietly end Qin Hu and wrap the people of the county to fill in the river loop!" ”

Gao Shun said: "That's how it is. ”

Guo Tu said: "The lord took the Hetao by himself, first destroyed the Huns, and then Pingyue clan, slaughtered Hu Yuandun Juyan, and then Dong Zhuo and other four-way armies for the lord to attack, it can be said that the conquest is continuous, the Han people who originally lived in the Hetao have all avoided into Shangjun, and the people of the Hetao are ten rooms and nine empty, and there is not one in a hundred. ”

Gao Shun said: "Hmm. ”

Guo Tu said, "The husband is the foundation, the first priority is the population, the population is large and the money and grain are abundant, the money and grain are rich and the soldiers and horses are strong, and the soldiers and horses are strong to sweep the world, although the lord has a river loop and sits on a thousand miles of fertile fields, but the people under the rule are only 50,000 people, and most of them are women and children, how can it be successful?" ”

Gao Shun said: "However, Mrs. Guo really dares to send troops? ”

"Of course Mrs. Guo didn't dare, so the lord had to be brave for him, so he would mobilize the army to put on a posture of attacking Ding Yuan, and in fact, in addition to the general's eight hundred camps, the lord's elite army was indeed dispatched by the whole army!" Guo Tu said this, his eyes showed a cold color, and he said in a condensed voice, "What's more, there is another more important reason that prompted Mrs. Guo to send troops. ”

"Huh?" Gao Shun condensed and said, "A more important factor? ”

Guo Tu said: "People have greed, and Mrs. Guo is no exception!" According to the news sent back by the secret agents lurking in Luoyang, the Son of Heaven has secretly ordered Guo Tai to go north to the Hetao, as long as Guo Tai can capture the Hetao, the imperial court will reset Shuozhou, and crown Guo Tai as the assassin of Shuozhou. ”

Gao Shun nodded silently, thought for a while and said without worry: "But Mrs. Guo has more than 20,000 elite cavalry soldiers, and the last general only has 800 elite soldiers, and there are only 3 or 4,000 people including Wuhuan Qingzhuang, and the difference in strength between the two armies is too great. ”

Guo Tu smiled and said: "General rest assured, it won't be long before General Xu Chu's 10,000 cavalry will rush back to Meiji." ”

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Huh? General Xu Chu's 10,000 cavalry! ”

"Report~~" Gao Shun's voice fell, and a small colonel stepped into the tent and said, "General Xu Chu led two thousand iron horses, and the Yue clan has returned to Meiji from nine thousand." ”

"General, look." Guo Tu laughed and said, "Isn't General Xu Chu back, hahaha." ”

……

Lishi, the camp of the Han army.

"What a mistake." Jia Xu said with annoyance, "I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to transfer 6,000 elite soldiers. ”

"As the so-called wise man thinks a thousand times, there must be a mistake, and Wen He doesn't have to worry about it." Ma Yue said, "However, our army's battle plan needs to be adjusted accordingly. ”

"What the lord said is very true." Jia Xu nodded and said, "Originally, I expected to use these 8,000 elite soldiers and Ding Yuan and Han Fu's two armies to circulate in Taiyuan County for ten days and half a month, but now there are only 2,000 8,000 elite soldiers left, this plan must be canceled, and the suspicious soldiers set up in Xishan can be concealed for a while, but they can't be concealed for too long, or Ding Yuan, a veteran ruffian, will see the way out in a few days." ”

Ma Yue frowned and said: "If Taiyuan can attract the army of Ding Yuan and Han Fu, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang will be able to drive at least 30,000 people from Yanmen and Shangdang counties to cross the river west, and now it seems that this goal cannot be achieved at all!" The cavalry of the two routes must retreat immediately, especially Zhoucang, which has penetrated hundreds of miles into the territory of Shangdang, in case Ding Yuan comes to his senses, he may be cut off by the state army! ”

Jia Xu said: "It's a pity that we can't take away tens of thousands of people from Bingzhou, but the real goal of our army is still Qin Hu, as long as Qin Hu can be annexed in one fell swoop, the lord can get at least 100,000 people from Shangjun!" Compared with the states and counties of the Central Plains, this 100,000 population is insignificant, but it is of great significance to the lord. ”

"That's fine." Ma Yue immediately said, "Someone is coming." ”

The two pro-soldiers entered in response and immediately jumped in front of him.

Ma Yue said: "Quickly inform Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, immediately return to the division of Meiji, there must be no mistakes, and then send an order to Jutu, let him lead the scout battalion to seize the bison crossing, and the general will lead the army to arrive later." ”

……

Jinyang, and the state of the history of the palace hall.

Zhang He clasped his fists and said loudly: "The last general, Zhang He, was ordered by Lord Han to lead 5,000 light cavalry to help in the battle, and Lord Han and Lord Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao personally led 20,000 troops to arrive. ”

Ding Yuan said: "General Zhang He has worked hard and is seated. ”

"Master Xie."

"Newspaper~~"

Zhang He thanked Ding Yuan, and just entered the table, suddenly a small school hurriedly entered, kneeling on the ground and making an urgent report: "My lord, Yanmen is urgent." ”

"Speak."

"Pei Yuanshao led 5,000 cavalry to stay at the Yanmen border for three days, and suddenly withdrew early this morning."

"Oh?" Ding Yuan frowned and said, "Pei Yuanshao withdrew his troops?" ”

Lu Bu on the side echoed: "This must be handled properly by the father-in-law, and the Jizhou reinforcements arrived in time, and the horse butcher saw that there was nothing to take advantage of, so he had to withdraw his troops back to Hetao in a gloomy manner, hehe." ”

"Newspaper~~"

Before Lu Bu's words fell, another junior colonel hurriedly entered, kneeling on the ground and making an urgent report: "Report urgently to the party!" ”

"Speak."

"Zhou Cang's troops surrounded Huguan, but they were too late to attack the city, but they suddenly withdrew their troops last night."

"What?" Ding Yuan's brows became more and more frowned, and he said in a condensed voice, "Zhou Cang has also withdrawn his troops!" ”

Zhang He, who was standing on one side, couldn't help but ask: "Has Ma Yuejun ever robbed Yanmen and the people of Shangdang?" ”

The two colonels shook their heads and said: "No, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cangjun have not committed any crimes with Minqiu since they went to Yanmen and Shangdang. ”

"That's it!" Zhang He's expression perked up, and he said quickly, "My lord, Ma Yue is just a bluff, he has no intention of attacking Bingzhou at all." ”
