"Okay, that's Old Man Qiao." Ma Yue said, "I heard that there are twin daughters outside the old man, who are beautiful and beautiful like flowers, why don't you call out a look?" ”

Qiao Xuan said coldly: "The daughter of the humble family of Chaimen, with only the posture of a thin willow, there is no need to defile the general's eyes." ”

"I don't know how to lift!" Ma Yue waved his hand and said sharply, "Dian Wei, grab it!" ”

"Yes!"

Dian Wei roared and led dozens of Xiliang soldiers to rush into the backyard like a wolf, Qiao Xuan couldn't stop it, and in less than a moment, Dian Wei took Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao from the backyard, but the strange thing is that there were more than a dozen white-faced and beardless Qiao house slaves who were escorted out with Er Qiao.

Ma Yue looked at the sisters and saw that the sisters were all beautiful, which can be described as a rare and stunning beauty, but in Ma Yue's opinion, Liu Yan, Zou Yuniang, Nai Zhener'er, Azi Guli (after Ma Chao's blood slaughtered the Da Yue clan, Ma Yuena was a concubine), Yuenu'er's mother and daughter, and Princess Liyang Liu Ming and others are not inferior to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

As for Diao Chan, his posture is still above Er Qiao.

"Daddy."

Seeing Qiao Xuan, Qiao Hao had already hid behind Qiao Xuan like a bird, Qiao Xuan opened his arms, like an eagle trying his best to shelter the fledgling eaglet with his old wings, Dian Wei and more than 100 Xiliang soldiers did not stop it, and Ma Yue's interest did not seem to be in the sisters.

Along with Xiao Qiao, there were more than a dozen white-faced and beardless young house slaves who were driven out by the Xiliang soldiers, Ma Yue's eyes were like wolves patrolling back and forth on the bodies of these young house slaves, and suddenly with a move, Lu Erbastard had already run over, and said with a flattering smile: "What does the general command?" ”

Ma Yue stretched out his hand and pointed at the dozen or so young house slaves in front of him, and shouted: "Go, carefully identify General Ben, are there two little white faces of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce in this?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Erbazi nodded again and again, turned around and approached the dozen or so house slaves, and looked carefully one by one before saying to Ma Yue: "General, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are not here, those two little white faces are much more pleasing to the eye than these guys, I heard that they are still the sons and brothers in the Lujiang area." ”

Ma Yue frowned when he heard this: "Not among these people?" ”

Lu Erbazi said: "General, eighty percent of us are in a hurry, and we are ahead of Zhou Yu." ”

"Really?"

Ma Yue pondered for a moment, and unintentionally turned his head and his eyes happened to fall on Er Qiao, and he suddenly had a plan in his heart, then turned over and dismounted, and said to Qiao Xuan with a smile: "The two Lingyuan outside the old Qiao are really beautiful and fragrant, and this general has always liked beauties, and intends to accept the two daughters of the old man as concubines, and I hope to be fulfilled." ”

"The general's good intentions, the old man understands it." Qiao Xuan said coldly, "The old man and the little girl have already promised to have sons and daughters with Sun and Zhou respectively, and they also hope for General Haihan." ”

"That's not a problem." Ma Yue threatened very shamefully, "As long as General Ben says a word, the marriage contract between the two daughters of the old man and the Sun and Zhou families will be invalidated immediately, if these two families don't know how to promote, General Ben will raise troops to destroy his nine clans!" Hmph, who would dare to rob the woman that General Ben has looked down on? ”

Qiao Xuan's face changed, and he said with a cold face: "The general said that he laughed, the old man never did these things that broke the rules. ”

"Old thing, don't be ignorant!" Ma Yue's face changed, and he shouted, "It's your honor for General Ben to look down on your daughter, and it's really unreasonable to be embarrassed, where is the second bastard of Lu?" ”

Lu Erbastard hurriedly ran to Ma Yue, and replied, "The villain is here." ”

Ma Yue raised his whip and pointed at Erqiao, and said loudly: "Ming said, this general is going to get married in Shu County and marry the second daughter of the Qiao family!" The marriage will be handled by you, you must have a beautiful and festive atmosphere, you will have a feast for the soldiers of the three armies in the east of the city, and you will invite the people of Shu County to come to watch the ceremony! ”

"Yes!" Lu Erbastard straightened his body like a dog, and replied loudly, "The villain will do it." ”

……

Shu County Beixiao, Wujia Village.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's rescue action was finally stopped by Wu Jing and Zhou Shang, no matter what, the horse butcher had thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen under him, and there were Jinfan thieves who were rampant on the Yangtze River as their minions, which were by no means comparable to the hundreds of young men in Wujia Village, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu rushed to go just to give their lives in vain.

Night finally fell, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had the longest day in their lives!

The family Ding sent by Wu Jing to Shu County to inquire about the news finally returned, and also brought the news that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were eager to know, but this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the two.

"The horse butcher wants to marry Big Joe and Little Joe at the same time?" Sun Ce Huo Ran got up, his eyes revealing a terrifying murderous intent, and shouted, "Just Ming!?" ”

"Needless to say." Zhou Yu said quickly, "Bo Fu can quickly ignite the young people in the village, and then enter the city overnight!" Although the horse butcher has thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen, and there are Jinfan thieves as their minions, it is dark first, and it is difficult for the cavalry to play a role, and secondly, the Xiliang iron cavalry has just arrived, and is not familiar with the terrain of Shu County, and we still have a great chance to rescue Qiao Gong's family! In short, no matter what, you can't let Big Joe and Little Joe fall into the clutches of the horse butcher, never! ”

"Respectfully!" Zhou Shang's face sank, and he shouted, "You have to calm down, and don't give your life in vain because of your children's personal feelings!" ”

"Uncle!" Zhou Yu shouted, "The ancients had the hatred of killing their fathers and taking their wives, and the horse butchers were going to forcibly occupy their nephews' wives!" ”

"How can a manly man be without a wife?" Zhou Shang shouted, "Even if you want to save people, you need to think long-term!" ”

Zhou Yu said happily: "So, my uncle promised to save people?" ”

Zhou Shang feigned anger and said: "Did Uncle Wei say that he wouldn't save people?" ”

"Great!" Zhou Yu said happily, "My nephew has already thought of countermeasures, if I can have the help of my uncle and Lord Wu, it will be even more foolproof!" ”

Wu Jing and Zhou Shangsu knew Zhou Yu's wisdom, and when they heard the words, they said in unison: "Gong Zhen said quickly." ”

Zhou Yu said: "The horse butcher said that when the wedding is held, he will invite the soldiers of the three armies to the camp in the east of the city, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will gather in advance to gather in the camp and drink and feast. The horse butcher ordered the people of Shuxian County to watch the ceremony on the streets, with the intention of showing off, but it was self-destruction! ”

Sun Ce hurriedly said: "Gongjing, just say it directly, how to save people?" ”

"It's simple." Zhou Yu said loudly, "Early in the morning, Brother Bo Fu and his subordinates, as well as the young men from Wujia Village and neighboring villages, all disguised themselves as ordinary people, mixed into the city to watch the ceremony, and then ambushed the armored soldiers on both sides of the long street at the East Gate, and when the horse butcher married the car passed, the ambush soldiers went out and killed the horse butcher on the spot in one fell swoop!" ”

"Good plan!" Wu Jing praised, "And the Xiliang army gathered in the camp in the east of the city to drink and feast, the city must be empty of garrison, after attacking and killing the horse butcher, Bo Fu can take advantage of the situation to lead the crowd to seize the city, and then hold on to the city, in order to resist the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" In this way, Er Qiao was preserved, and the people of Shu County were preserved. ”

Of course, Wu Jing still had the most crucial sentence that he hadn't said, that is, his black gauze hat had also been preserved.

Zhou Shang also struck the knot: "If the horse butcher dies, the Xiliang army will inevitably retaliate, and attack Shu County more than once, Shang can write a letter to send the horse to Shouchun, please Lei Bo, Chen Lan The two generals lead the army to attack, Xiliang Iron Cavalry has no leader, forgive can be destroyed in one fell swoop under the city of Shuxian, Yangzhou is also fixed." ”

"Hahaha~~"

After speaking, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Wu Jing, and Zhou Shang looked at each other and laughed, as if everything had been mastered.

Speaking from the heart, Zhou Yu's plan can be called perfect! It was the best strategy that could be adopted under the circumstances, if the horse butcher was really carried away by the beauty, and wanted to marry Er Qiao in front of the people of Shu County, and then he wanted to reward the soldiers of the three armies in the camp in the east of the city, then he was indeed dying.

Zhou Yu is a human being after all, not a god, he couldn't have expected that the horse butcher would come to Shu County thousands of miles away, not for Er Qiao, but actually for him Zhou Yu!

……

The next time.

As soon as the sky was bright, Sun Ce summoned the young man from the neighboring village, plus Wu Jing and Zhou Shang's soldiers, and got a total of more than 1,000 armor soldiers, all of whom were lightly armed and simple, and went to Shu County with a sharp blade. Sun Jian's second son, Sun Quan, who was sixteen years old at the time, also rushed out of the gate with a spear in his hand, and said to Sun Ce: "Brother, younger brother should also go together." ”

Sun Ce turned around and glared at Sun Quan coldly, and shouted, "Go back!" ”

Sun Quan took two steps back sharply, silent.

Sun Ce couldn't bear it in his heart, took two steps forward and stroked Sun Quan's head, and said slowly: "The second brother can stay at home, so that he can protect his mother and younger brothers and sisters!" ”

"Yes, brother."

Sun Quan said respectfully, and he didn't dare to look at Sun Ce.

Sun Jian has been fighting abroad all the year round, and Sun Ce is the eldest in his family, although he is eighteen years old, he is very majestic.

Zhou Yu looked at the sky and said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, the hour is almost up." ”

Sun Ce nodded solemnly, waved his big hand, and said sharply: "Go!" ”

……

Shu County.

The city is covered with red and hung colors, gongs and drums are everywhere, and every corner is filled with a festive atmosphere.

"The lord picks two Qiao with one shot, damn, he lost again."

"The lord grabs the four with both hands, haha, you lose, drink quickly!"

"The lord entered the cave room, and the couch was white and swaying with six petals, damn, I lost again~~"

Outside the city, the Liangzhou camp is full of banquets, groups of Liangzhou soldiers gather together to guess the boxing order, drink and have fun, today is the wedding of the lord, the soldiers are indispensable to find some fun, the mouth is not clean meat jokes, from time to time there will be a burst of laughter, make a lot of fun.

Looking at the world, only the soldiers of the horse butcher dare to make fun of the lord like this.

……

Qiao's Mansion is even more colorful.

The Liangzhou soldiers dressed in red and green were busy going in and out, moving the dowry of the Qiao family (all fucking horse butchers robbed, but not voluntarily given by Qiao Xuan) out of the house, and suddenly, a team of people and horses came to the gate of Qiao's mansion with a red robe, a red hat inserted into a red feather, stepped off the sweaty BMW, and walked at the front of the team.

Lu Erbastard dressed like a dog, stood high on the steps of Qiao's mansion and tore the ram's throat and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, marry the newlyweds...... On the sedan chair~~"

"Woo la woo la la ~ ~"

The drums played in unison, and there was already a group of happy ladies who were surrounded by Er Qiao out of the house under the threat of the Xiliang soldiers and sabers, Er Qiao was dressed in a costume, covered with red silk, and Lianbu boarded the sedan chair, this scene saw Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were hiding in the crowd on the street corner in the distance, gritted their teeth, and they couldn't wait to rush out and break the red "horse butcher" on horseback.

It's a pity that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have never seen a horse butcher, so how did they know that this horse butcher is not a horse butcher.

……

Dongcheng of Shu County, on the teahouse on the side of Long Street.

Ma Yue wore a light robe, sat peacefully on the seat near the window, Dian Wei and Gan Ning stood left and right with the costumes, and the faint sound of drums suddenly came from the long street in front of him, Gan Ning suddenly pricked up two ears, and his eyes vigilantly searched for any suspicious people on both sides of the long street, but he found nothing.

The people brought by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were originally the people of Shu County, so they were well hidden.

"Lord~~" Gan Ning asked a little anxiously, "Will Zhou Yu really come this time?" ”

Ma Yue raised the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said slowly: "No matter how powerful Zhou Yu is, he would never have expected that General Ben would be so painstaking just to catch him!" Moreover, the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife have been the two major hates in life since ancient times, and if Zhou Yu is a man, he will definitely come! ”

"Lord, here." The horse leaped and fell, and Dian Wei suddenly said in an urn, "The welcoming team is here." ”

……

Under the teahouse, on the long street.

Amid the sound of drums, the red greeting procession slowly drove through the long street.

In the crowd, Zhou Yu disguised himself as a sick scholar with a yellow face, and a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes, and Sun Ce behind him bumped Zhou Yu with his shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Gongjin, the welcoming convoy is coming, is it time to do it?" ”

"No~~" Zhou Yu shook his head and said in a condensed voice, "Something is wrong!" ”

Sun Ce hurriedly said: "What's wrong? ”

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, you look at the Xiliang soldiers escorted, all of them have cold eyebrows, as if they are waiting to fight, where is there a little festive look?" ”

"I can't care so much!" Sun Ce's Adam's apple twitched violently twice, and he said in a low voice, "If you don't do it again, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao will be sent to the camp in the east of the city, and it will be difficult to rescue them again!" ”

"But~~"

"If you don't do it now, wait when!" Sun Ce said awe-inspiringly, "My mind has been decided, and the public will be persuaded again and killed!" ”

Before the words fell, Sun Ce's body had already been pulled up, and the person was in the air, and the cold and shining ancient ingot treasure knife had already arrived in his hand.

The "horse butcher" on horseback saw a figure in front of him, and a dazzling cold light had swept into the air.

……

Tea house.

"What a fast knife, it's a ruthless character!"

Dian Wei and Gan Ning exhaled at the same time, as the so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, Sun Ce's knife, Dian Wei and Gan Ning, who are also masters of the knife, know how powerful it is.

"I'm going to meet him!"

Gan Ning snorted, turned around and walked away quickly, Dian Wei was also eager to try, but unfortunately he didn't dare to make a mistake to protect Ma Yue's safety.

……

"Poof~~ uh!"

The "horse butcher" on horseback was caught off guard, and was slashed in the neck by Sun Ce, and in the blood rain that flew all over the sky, a head had already been thrown high, and the terrible scream stopped abruptly, and the next moment, there was a deafening shout on both sides of the long street, and hundreds of soldiers disguised as the people of Shu County shouted and killed, and surrounded the convoy to fight fiercely.

"Poof!"

Sun Ce took the lead, slashed over the Xiliang soldiers who were blocking in front of the sedan chair with two knives, and picked off the curtain of the sedan chair with another knife.

"Zhaorong, Xiyan!" Sun Ce bent down and drilled into the carriage, and said quickly, "Hurry up and follow so-and-so." ”

"Rustle!"

Sun Ce's voice fell, and two cold lights stabbed at him.

Sun Ce instinctively collapsed and shrunk his shoulders, two cold rays of light almost brushed against his chin and the back of his neck, and the sharp cold of the blade brought a biting cold, wanting to freeze Sun Ce's bone marrow!

"Kill! Kill! ”

Two loud shouts, the two "beauties" who failed to achieve a blow simply reached out and took off the hijab, waving the dagger in their hands to attack left and right, Sun Ce saw it squarely, where are these big Qiao and Xiao Qiao, it is clearly two thin men!

"Damn!"

Sun Ce's reaction was extremely fast, and the two men lost the opportunity to assassinate forever if they failed to strike a single blow, and the price paid was their lives! With a burst of applause, the ancient ingot treasure knife in Sun Ce's hand had already raised a cold glow in the sky, and the two Liangzhou soldiers with Qiao makeup were dismantled by Sun Ce before they even had time to scream.

"Puffy!"

With a loud bang, Sun Ce kicked the sedan chair to pieces, and his body had already flown into the air like an arrow, and the person shouted loudly in the air: "Gongjin, there is no Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao in the sedan chair at all, it is the Liangzhou soldiers of the horse butcher pretending!" We are fooled, withdraw, quickly withdraw from the city with the brothers~~"

In the crowd, Zhou Yu touched his forehead with his hand, and a wry smile flashed in his eyes.

"Hahaha~~" A long laugh suddenly sounded in the teahouse on the street, the originally empty window door suddenly opened, and a lightly hugged Ma Yue appeared in front of the window under the escort of Dian Wei, and shouted: "Zhou Yu, you have been tricked!" ”

"Boom~~"

In the roar of the doors and windows blooming, the doors and windows on both sides of the long street were opened, and a team of heavily armed Jinfan thieves shouted to kill the generals, all holding longbows, and sharp arrow clusters had been aimed at Sun Ce's hundreds of volunteers, and hundreds of Shuxian volunteers were suddenly in chaos.

"Die!"

Sun Ce snorted, snatched a spear and threw it at the horse, Dian Wei snorted and took a step forward, and the heavy iron halberd stepped forward, and Sun Ce's flying spear fell to the ground. Ma Yue laughed and said in a long voice: "The brothers have listened carefully, try to catch it alive!" ”

……

Chaotic crowd.

Zhou Yu stomped his feet, turned his head to his brother Zhou Ba and said, "Second brother, it's up to you!" ”

Zhou Ba snorted, jumped up and kicked a Xiliang cavalry not far away off his horse, then stepped on the horse and ran out of the city, turning around and shouting as he ran: "Bo Fu, it's urgent, you can go quickly!" ”

Behind Zhou Ba, a trace of imperceptible guilt flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he gestured to Sun Ce, who looked stunned, and then bent down and shrank into the crowd, and in just a moment, he disappeared into the streets and alleys with the chaotic crowd. Sun Ce suddenly realized, hurriedly fought his way out, and turned into a deep alley.

The Jinfan thieves released arrows one after another, and Sun Ce and his people rode with more than a dozen arrows, covered in blood, but finally stood out of the encirclement.

……

Tea house.

Ma Yue's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Zhou Ba and said sharply: "He is Zhou Yu, catch him, don't let him run!" ”

It doesn't matter if Sun Ce runs away, Ma Yue cares more about Zhou Yu!

"Where is Zhou Yu's erection going!"

Ma Yue's voice fell, and a figure suddenly came out of the air like a ghost, but it was Gan Ning who stepped on the ladder set up by the Jinfan thief and jumped in the air, and in the pleasant sound of the nine rings striking, a dazzling cold light had already shone on Zhou Ba's roar, Zhou Ba howled, raised his knife to meet him, and then the two knives intersected.

"Boom!"

In the fierce and suffocating sound of gold and iron, the long knife in Zhou Ba's hand swung open, the empty door in his chest was wide open, Gan Ning snorted coldly, and the knife was retracted, blood and light splashed, and poor Zhou Ba was cut in two by Gan Ning from his chest in an instant! It wasn't until Zhou Ba's two corpses fell to the ground that Gan Ning was splashed with hot blood on his face, and he suddenly remembered Ma Yue's password and couldn't help but look miserable.

"Whew~~"

On the teahouse, Ma Yue couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, his eyes showed regret, and he thought that Gan Ning, a loser, had killed a peerless handsome talent with one knife, but it was a pity!

……

Hangu Pass.

Yuan Shu, who had just been promoted to the title of Great Sima, was full of ambition and vowed to make a great cause that would not lose to his brother Yuan Shao.

In the second time of receiving the title, Yuan Shu set up a banquet for the princes, during the banquet generously made a speech, threatening to break Hangu and restore Guanzhong, and Sun Jian, Liu Xun and other dead parties waved their flags and shouted from the side, and there was the strong support of Prime Minister Cao Ying, although the rest of the princes were uncertain, but the general trend was the same, and they could only go out with the army.

Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (there is a discrepancy between the year name in this book and the romance, the year name of the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the romance is first Chuping, and then Jian'an, and there is no Chuping year name in this book, and the accession of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is also three years earlier than in the romance) In May of the fifth year (192), when Ma Yue led 7,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to fight in Yangzhou, the great Sima Yuan Shu led 300,000 allied troops to camp outside Hangu Pass, and the war broke out.

……

Hangu Pass, Jia Xu's big tent in the army.

Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "Military Division, the coalition forces did not hesitate after capturing Luoyang, and it seems that the rumors spread by our army have not played a role." ”

Jia Xu said indifferently: "This is also expected, after all, this time our army's opponent is the cunning Cao Ying." ”

Gao Shun said in a condensed voice: "The coalition forces are menacing, and it seems that a vicious battle is inevitable. ”

Ma Chao said sharply: "Just let the coalition forces let the horses come over, come and clean up as much as you want!" ”

"No, it's enough to hold the Tiger Prison and have General Gao Shun." Jia Xu shook his head and said in a quiet voice, "There was an explanation in the lord's letter, and the young general has another important task. ”

[Some readers questioned Ma Chao's title of major general, but in fact, the major general is not a young master!] Due to the relationship between Cao Hong and Cao Ying, Yu Ban and Le Jin both called Cao Hong a major general, and Cao Xiu was often called a major general by General Cao Ying, which shows that the major general does not specifically refer to the heir, and the swordsman is more inclined to equate the title of the son with the heir. Another reader is worried that Ma Chao is abusing power, it is unfounded, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, and Cao Shuang were all commanders of the Wei army, and they all assisted the young or unqualified Wei Emperor, how could they not have taken the throne of Cao Pi, Cao Rui, and Cao Fang? ]

"Oh?" Ma Chao said, "What is the explanation in my brother's letter?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord tried to rob 50 large building ships in Wulin Port in Jingzhou, although more than 10 ships were burned by Cao Ying, but there are still more than 30 ships left, and the lord plans to use these more than 30 building ships to transport the plundered grain and population to Guanzhong by water, but it needs to pass through Qingdao, Hebei, Yan, and Sili prefectures, and it is very vulnerable to interception along the way. ”

"In order to ensure the unimpeded passage of the river, so that the main public water army can go upstream, the major general can lead 20,000 iron horsemen out of the east of the river, and disturb the counties on both sides of the river along the way, so as to confuse the eyes of the coalition army. The forces of the coalition forces were mainly concentrated in Hangu Pass and Hetao, thinking that the major general's harassment was just a plan to disturb the enemy, and most of them would only fortify the city and defend it rather than send troops to pursue it. ”

Ma Chao clenched his fists and said, "Super command." ”

"From the current movements of the coalition army, we can know that the news that the lord's army has moved to Xu and Yang has been tightly sealed by Cao Ying, a thief, and Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Liu Xun and other Yangzhou princes are still in the dark! It was thought that it would take at least two months for Yuan Shu and others to know the news. ”

Jia Xu said this, walked to the map, and Gao Shun and Ma Chao also followed and stood in front of the map.

Jia Xu pointed to the map and said: "Of the 100,000 Tuntian army, 50,000 are stationed in Beidi, the other 30,000 are stationed in Longxian, and only 20,000 elites are in Hanguguan to listen to the tune; Newly recruited 20,000 Qiang soldiers followed General Fang Yue to garrison the Hetao, 30,000 county soldiers followed General Xu Huang to guard Guanzhong, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao two generals although there were 30,000 iron cavalry but far away in Mobei, far water is difficult to save near the fire, in addition to 20,000 elite iron cavalry (Wuhuan wolf cavalry, Yue's cavalry, 36 Qiang) will follow the major general to disturb both sides of the river, so ......"

Jia Xu said this, looked up at Gao Shun, and said without worry: "The troops who really stayed in Hangu Pass are only 70,000, of which 20,000 are the elite of Tuntian, 20,000 are Liangzhou troops, and 30,000 are Hu cavalry in the Western Regions, General Gao Shun, with these 70,000 troops, can you hold Hangu for at least two months?" ”

[Ma Yue's troop subtotal: 100,000 Tuntian soldiers, 30,000 Hu cavalry in the Western Regions, 20,000 elite cavalry, 20,000 newly recruited Qiang soldiers, 30,000 Mobei cavalry, 30,000 surrendered troops, 30,000 Liangzhou county soldiers, 10,000 Jinfan sailors, a total of 270,000!] This is the official statistic. ]

Gao Shun frowned and fell into deep thought, speechless for a while.

Jia Xu said: "General Gao Shun, whether Hangu Pass can be held is a matter of great importance, please be sure to measure it!" ”

After a long time, Gao Shuncai replied loudly: "As long as the grain and grass are worry-free and the army's morale is not chaotic, there is no problem in holding it for two months!" ”

"Good!" Jia Xu said, "With General Gao Shun's words, this army and division will rest assured!" There is no problem with grain and grass, and the grain stored in Beidi and Hetao, plus the grain and grass looted from Jingzhou, Nanyang, Chenliu, Yingchuan, Henan, Hanoi, and Hedong, can still support about half a year. Within three months, the main water division was able to go up the river and transport a large amount of grain from the looting to Xinfeng Port. ”

Gao Shun bowed his head and said, "Then there is no problem!" ”

……

Shu County.

Gan Ning stood in front of Ma Yue with his head down, and said with annoyance: "Rather die, please surrender to the lord." ”

"Forget it." Ma Yue cleaned up his mood and said indifferently, "Isn't it Zhou Yu, if he dies, he will die, what is General Gan Ning's crime?" ”

The failure to capture Zhou Yu alive made the horse butcher feel some regrets, but fortunately, Zhou Yu was dead, although he couldn't use it for himself, he couldn't give advice for others, and it could be regarded as getting rid of a big henchman. If you really want to talk about it, Gan Ning not only has no fault but has merit, and it makes no sense to blame him again.

"Thank you, Lord." Gan Ning said embarrassedly, "Although Zhou Yu is dead, Sun Ce is still in the city, and now my Liangzhou army is surrounding the city on all sides, forgive him and he can't fly out of the city, Ning Ding should do his best to hold it and dedicate it to the lord's public account." ”

"No need." Ma Yue said indifferently, "Didn't you just run away with Sun Ce, and you can't make a move." What's more, Tanma reported that Lei Bo and Chen Lan had already led an army of 50,000 from Shouchun to kill Benshu County, which was no longer suitable to stay for a long time, and the army was about to move in. ”
