Ma Chao said in a condensed voice: "What does the military advisor want?" ”

Jia Xu said: "You can make the soldiers tie the straw men to the horses, and put on the illusion that the army will return to Xingyang, and the young general can secretly gather three thousand elite iron cavalry to intercept the baggage team of the coalition army." ”

Ma Chao said: "Volleying the baggage team? ”

"Yes, volleying the baggage team!" Jia Xu said in a deep voice, "If you can burn the baggage of the coalition army (siege towers, ramming vehicles, ladders, wells, etc. all belong to the baggage of the army), at least within half a year, the coalition army will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Tiger Pass, so that our army can calmly launch an offensive in the Yingchuan Plain." ”

Ma Chao struck the festival and said: "Understood, Chao will go and select the soldiers." ”

……

On the official road from Xuchang to Xingyang, Yuan Shuzheng led an army of 150,000 to march forward.

In the Chinese army, in a gorgeously decorated eight-horse carriage, when Yuan Shu was drowsy with a brocade qiu, a low voice suddenly sounded outside the curtain: "Lord, Mr. Guo Jia asks to see." ”

Yuan Shu woke up in shock and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, please." ”

An entourage had already lifted the curtain, Guo Jiashi Shiran entered the carriage, and Yuan Shusu gave up his seat.

Guo Jia clenched his fists and said loudly: "General, just after returning from the expedition, the Liangzhou army of the two roads has retreated, and the siege of Chen Liu and Yangzhai has been solved without a fight. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shu said happily, "So the purpose of our army's expedition has been achieved, so there is no need to march to Xingyang again, right?" ”

"Hey......" Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Previously, the Xiliang army made a surprise attack on Xingyang, and the soldiers and horses of Sun Jian, the Taishou of Wu County, were wiped out, and this matter has already frustrated the spirit of the coalition army. ”

Yuan Shu hesitated and said: "However, the horse butcher and Jia Poison are scheming, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is like the wind, even if the war is unfavorable, it can lead away from it, and the coalition forces are all infantry troops, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve encouraging results." ”

"Not really." Guo Jia smiled and said, "The so-called impermanence of soldiers, although the Xiliang cavalry is like the wind, it also has its weaknesses, if the coalition army can make reasonable use of the mountains and rivers, terrain, climate and other factors, it may not be able to turn disadvantages into advantages." What's more, with the surnames of the horse butcher and Jia Poison, this battle may not be so easy to retreat. ”

Yuan Shu said: "Oh, Mr. thinks the horse butcher has another trick? ”

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said: "I have carefully studied the marching habits of the horse butcher and Jia Poison, as well as the combat style, and found that both of them are characters who do not see rabbits and eagles, but if they seize the opportunity, they will pounce on the throat of the prey like a vicious wolf until the prey dies." ”

Yuan Shu said: "It seems to be like that. ”

Guo Jiadao: "At present, the Liangzhou army is in full swing and is in the initiative, our army's morale is frustrated and passive, Ma Butcher and Jia Poison can be said to have the advantage, the general thinks that in this situation, it is possible for the two of them to easily retreat because the coalition troops are out of Xingyang?" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Shu was shocked, "The coalition soldiers can force the Liangzhou soldiers to retreat when they leave Xingyang, isn't this what Mr. said, and now it is definitely fulfilled!" Why is it now said that the horse butcher and the Jia poison will not easily retreat? Could it be that the news sent back by Tanma is fake? ”

"Haha." Guo Jia smiled and replied, "The coalition army attacked Xingyang with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and the Liangzhou army naturally had to retreat obediently, but ...... How did the Liangzhou army retreat, or whether it would fight back on the way back, but it was not something that the coalition could control, what did the general think? ”

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Yuan Shu excitedly slapped his forehead with his hand and said: "Understood, Mr. must have anticipated the possible actions of the horse butcher and Jia Poison, and made a plan to defeat the Liangzhou army, so there is a plan to win a battle to boost the morale of the coalition army, yes or no?" ”

"Yes!" Guo Jia said, "Jia expects that the horse butcher will secretly send elite soldiers to intercept the baggage team of the coalition army. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Shu was shocked and said, "Why is Mr. so sure?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "In fact, with the wisdom of the general, it is not difficult to draw conclusions after a little analysis. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shu was still puzzled, "How do you say this?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "The advantage of the Xiliang cavalry is that the field battle is unstoppable, so what about the disadvantage? ”

Yuan Shu said: "The disadvantage is to attack the fortifications. ”

Guo Jia said: "The disadvantage of the Xiliang cavalry is not only to attack the fortifications, but also to hold on to the city!" For the time being, although the Liangzhou Army is on the offensive and the coalition army is on the defensive, this is only temporary, in the long run, the coalition army will sooner or later turn the defense into the offensive, at that time, what did the general think the Liangzhou Army would be most worried about? ”

"The allied army's attacking equipment ......" Yuan Shu said for a moment, and suddenly said, "Baggage team!" ”

"That's right! It's the baggage team! Guo Jia said in a deep voice, "The horse butcher is likely to send elite cavalry to attack our army's baggage team. ”

……

Night, deep.

Wind, call sign.

On the official road from Chen Liu's to Xingyang, the people of Yingchuan, who were helping the old and the young, and dragging their families and mouths, were lining up in a winding long line, slowly moving under the threat of the Liangzhou cavalry's sabers.

From his younger brother Jia Ming, he quietly came behind Jia Xu and said in a low voice: "Brother, the young general has already led the army to set off. ”

"Hmm."

Jia Xu's expression was deep and he bowed his head slightly.

Jia Ming said with some concern: "Brother, my brother thinks that the young general will be defeated and invincible." ”

"With the ability of a major general to command the army, even if he does not win, he will not be defeated." Jia Xu said this, his eyes showed a cold look, and then said, "What's more, whether this battle is won or lost has nothing to do with the overall situation, the most important major general has attracted the attention of the 150,000 troops of the coalition army with only 3,000 cavalry, which is the most important." ”

Jia Ming asked with some confusion, "Why?" ”

Jia Xusu pointed to the people of Yingchuan who were slowly moving forward in front of him, and said gloomily: "For them!" ”

……

South of Luoyang City.

Ma Yue's 8,000 cavalry were resting.

The next day, Ma Yue will lead this cavalry of 8,000 people to Wancheng south through Yiyang. Cao Ying's grasp of Ma Yue's surname can be described as vicious, Ma Yue did intend to tear a gap from Wancheng, break into the hinterland of Jingzhou, and then move from Jingzhou to Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and then from Jizhou back to Hetao.

If such a large circle is circumambulated, the war potential of the princes of all walks of life will be severely damaged.

……

Late at night, Ma Yuezhong's army tent.

Ma Yue was just about to fall asleep, but was suddenly awakened by heavy footsteps, the figure flashed, Dian Wei had already stepped into the tent, and said quickly: "Lord, Miss Diao Chan asks to see." ”

"Diao?" Ma Yue frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Let her in." ”

Dian Wei took the order and left, and in less than a moment, he led Diao Chan into the big tent, as far as his eyes could see, Ma Yue almost didn't recognize it, only to see Diao Chan change into a well-cut uniform, looking heroic, but his demeanor revealed a little more sultry and charming, which made Ma Yue's heart sway.

Ma Yue waved his hand, and Dian Wei bent down to withdraw.

The curtain fell, blocking the cold out of the tent, the fire in the tent was melting, warm as spring, Diao Chan smiled, bowed to Ma Yueyingying, and said softly: "Cicada to meet the general." ”

Ma Yue's gaze moved like a wolf on Diao Chan's delicate body, and the beautiful dress did not cover her graceful figure, especially the bulging breasts and the round and warped ** straight desire to hook people's souls, so that the horse butcher is used to seeing beauty, and he can't help but praise in his heart, it is really a peerless stunner.

"It's been such a night, what are you doing in the barracks?"

"Cicada has top-secret news to the general."

"What's the news?"

"The sisters sent back news from Xuchang, the middle lane coalition is likely to have changed the commander, Cao Ying and Yuan Shao are no longer in Xuchang, and Yuan Shu should be in charge of the overall situation at present."

"What did you say?" Ma Yue was startled and said in a deep voice, "Cao Ying and Yuan Shao are no longer in Xuchang?" ”

Diao Chan said: "Exactly. ”

"Where did the two go?"

"The sisters tried their best to find out where the two were, but they can be sure that they are no longer in Xuchang."

"Cao Ying and Yuan Shao are no longer in Xuchang?" Ma Yue Huoran put his hands behind his back and paced anxiously in the tent, pacing while muttering to himself, "At this time, the two of them actually left Xuchang? So where will the two go? North, South, or West? ”

Diao Chan's dark eyes kept turning as Ma Yue walked back and forth, but he didn't say anything to interrupt Ma Yue's train of thought.

After a long time, Ma Yue suddenly paused, turned his head and stared at Diao Chan with a burning eye, and asked, "Cicada, if you are Cao Ying, under what circumstances is it possible to leave the Yingchuan battlefield?" ”

Diao Chan chuckled lightly and replied: "Cicada is a woman, and she is not a man with eyebrows, how can you guess Cao Ying's thoughts?" ”

"Got it!" Ma Yue patted his head and muttered to himself, "If I were Cao Ying, under what circumstances would I leave Yingchuan?" ”

Diao Chan smiled, and Lianbu Shanshan came to the front of the case and poured a glass of wine for Ma Yue.

Ma Yue drank a cup of cold wine, and his thoughts gradually became clear: "The battle of Yingchuan is the main battlefield of this war, if Yingchuan is defeated, even if the remaining three coalition forces are victorious, it will not be able to change the ending of the Liangzhou army sweeping the world!" But Cao Ying must have his reason for leaving Yingchuan, is it ...... What could be more decisive than the Yingchuan War? ”

"Could it be ......" Diao Chan's beautiful eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "It's you, the general?" ”

"Me?" Ma Yue was stunned at first, then his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice, "What a Cao Ying!" ”

Diao Chan was stunned and said, "What's wrong with the general?" ”

"Cicadas." Ma Yue didn't answer, and the ape arm lightly hugged Diao Chan's soft delicate body into his arms, and said, "You saved the general again, what kind of reward do you want this time?" ”

Diao Chan shook his head, his head was raised lightly, his beautiful eyes stared at Ma Yue softly, and he whispered, "Cicadas don't want any rewards." ”

Ma Yue reached out and picked up Diao's pink chin and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Diao Chan's jade arms were lightly relaxed, gently wrapped around Ma Yuexiong's waist, and said softly: "Cicada only hopes that after the world is stable in the future, the sisters can have a good home, and they don't have to lean on the door every time to laugh, be familiar with Wei, and suffer from the wind and dust." ”

"Good!" Ma Yue's blood surged, and he said quickly, "The world is determined to say that this general will give your sister to a meritorious soldier as a wife and concubine, how about it?" ”

Diao Chan said softly: "In this way, Cicada would like to thank the general on behalf of the sisters." ”

Ma Yue's fingers slipped down Diao Chan's soft and white jade neck, caressed his bulging breasts through the thick cloth armor, and then lowered his head to Diao Chan's pink earlobes and said, "Cicada, you don't have to go back to Luoyang City tonight, just stay in the army and accompany General Ben to relieve your boredom." ”

Diao Chan's head hung slightly, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she responded softly: "Yes." ”

Ma Yue's breathing gradually became heavier, and he reached out to wrap his hand around Diao Chan's unbearable willow waist and hugged her delicate body horizontally, and a big hand wrapped around the crook of her leg just to hug Diao Chan's stiff and upturned snow buttocks.

……

Wancheng.

More than ten miles to the south of West Hubei Province, Bailong Beach on the banks of the Baishui River.

Martial law has been imposed within a radius of 100 miles, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to enter. In the forbidden area, Cao Ying's 20,000 elite soldiers from Qingzhou were busy on the river beach, and the criss-crossing Tibetan pits had begun to take shape.

White Dragon Beach.

Ma Yue once turned the tide here, became famous in a war, and became a wanted criminal in the world! Cao Ying participated in that battle, but at that time he was only a fledgling military captain, and there were only hundreds of elite soldiers under him, but Cao Ying would never forget the Yellow Turban traitor who was exhausted and howled in front of Bailong Beach.

Hiding the Pit.

Ma Yue once defeated Cao's army in Yingchuan with this strange trick, Cao Ying not only lost the commander of the army Lejin, but also almost killed himself on the spot. That cold night, that nameless hillbag, and that man as hideous as a hungry wolf, Cao Ying still has palpitations when he remembers it.

But today, Cao Ying wants to return all these shameful memories to that man!

Giving back to others in the way of others, there is nothing more exciting for Cao Ying than this.

Cao Ying couldn't wait to see what kind of expression the horse butcher should have on his face when he was ambushed by a hidden pit on Bailong Beach? A good swimmer is drowning, and a horse butcher is good at digging into the ground and hiding soldiers to calculate others, so how can he accept the cruel fact of being ambushed by other people's hidden soldiers?

……

Nanxiang is located two hundred miles south of Wuguan.

Liu Biao, Li Xuan, Xu Gong, Chen Ji these four route coalition troops are stationed here, the South Road coalition army has a total of 30,000 troops, including Liu Biao's Jingzhou soldiers 20,000, Li Liangzhou old department 2,000, Xu Gong's Yuzhang (Jiangxi) soldiers 3,000, Chen Ji's Jiujiang soldiers 5,000. In terms of troops, Liu Biao occupied an absolute majority, so he was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of the Southern Route Coalition Army.

However, as Jia Xu expected, the four coalition armies of Liu Biao, Li Xuan, Xu Gong, and Chen Ji were not enterprising at all, and they did not even launch a symbolic attack on Wuguan. The 30,000 army stopped when it entered Nanxiang, which was still two hundred miles away from Wuguan, knowing that Wuguan was only guarded by 3,000 Liangzhou soldiers, and refused to advance half a step.

For Liu Biao, although Jingzhou is fixed, the foundation is not stable, and Nanyang County, which has the largest population and the most prosperous economy among the eight counties of Jingxiang, is still under the control of Yuan Shu.

The rest of Li Xu, Chen Ji, and Xu Gong are all small princes under the command of Yuan Shu, and even Yuan Shu has raised troops to respond, so they can naturally only raise troops obediently, even if they are not willing to really serve the imperial court, they must at least put on a show.

Late at night.

Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, Liu Pan, and Huang Zu appeared in Liu Biao's account together.

As soon as he entered the big tent, the general Huang Zu clenched his fists and asked loudly: "The lord summoned him late at night, I don't know what is important?" ”

Liu Biao's expression was gloomy, and he glanced sideways at Kuai Liang, who said knowingly: "Generals, our army has just discovered the top secret military information, and Prime Minister Cao Yingqin has secretly entered Wancheng with 20,000 elite soldiers, and the appearance is very suspicious, not like he wants to attack Luoyang from Wancheng. ”

"Doesn't it look like attacking Luoyang from Wancheng?" Huang Zu's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that Cao Ying still dares to turn around and go south and attack Jingzhou?" ”

Kuai Yue said: "Before the horse rebellion is broken, it is impossible for Cao Ying to attack Jingzhou. ”

Huang Zu said: "Then what is there to worry about? ”

Kuai Yue said: "I'm afraid that Cao Ying will lead the army into Jingxiang to rebel in the name of the Son of Heaven, and then he won't leave." ”

"Huh?" Huang Zu lost his voice and said, "This Cao Ying is really insidious. ”

Kuai Liang said: "Therefore, the lord summoned the generals overnight to discuss the strategy of rejecting Cao. ”

Huang Zu said: "Strategizing is the specialty of the two gentlemen Zirou and Xenodu, the last general will only go into battle to kill the enemy, the lord and the two gentlemen, please do what you ask, and the last general will do it." ”

Huang Zhong, Liu Pan, and Wen Ping also chimed in: "Listen to the Lord's judgment." ”

Liu Biao gestured to Kuai Yue with his eyes, bowed his head slightly, Kuai Yue understood, and said loudly: "Okay, since this is the case, General Wenpin listens to the order." ”

The young Wen Ping took a step forward and said quickly: "The end will be." ”

Kuai Yue said: "Lead the headquarters of 800 elite soldiers to guard Xinye County, and closely monitor the movements of the Cao army in Wancheng. ”

"Yes."

"Huang Zhong listens to orders."

"The end will be."

"Lead the headquarters of 2,000 elite soldiers to defend Fancheng as the northern barrier of Xiangyang."

"Yes."

"Huang Zu and Liu Pan listen to orders."

"The end will be."

"Lead the headquarters of 8,000 Jiangxia elite soldiers to return to the division overnight and guard Xiangyang."

"Command."

……

On the official road from Xuchang to Xingyang, the baggage team of the coalition army was moving slowly under the protection of the infantry.

The official road is surrounded by undulating hills, and the hills are full of artemisia grass that is more than one person high, and there are dense bushes growing in the mountains, which are overgrown with thorns and difficult for people and animals to walk.

A cavalry scout was roaming the hills, vigilantly searching the barren and silent wilderness from time to time.

"Whew!"

The terrible sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, shattering the silent wilderness, the coalition scout Huo Ran turned around, only to see a flash of cold light in front of him, and immediately felt a cold throat, slowly lowered his head, and the scout soldier sadly found that a wolf tooth arrow had been inserted in his throat, and the feathers at the end of the arrow were gently shaking with the wind.

"Purr!"

With the sound of a heavy war horse, a ghostly ride came out from behind the hills.

The sun is setting in the west, and the whole body is silver-white, as bright as snow, and the dazzling silver spear is lifted into the sky, and a large group of black and suppressed Xiliang cavalry has emerged from behind the hills, like foraging wolves, gathering on the hills on both sides of the official road, coldly staring at the prey that is winding forward on the official road.

The Xiliang Iron Horse is powerful in the world, and its sharpest weapon is not actually a sharp horse chopping knife, but a lightning speed! It is often the enemy who has just received the warning signal, and the Xiliang cavalry has already followed, and the prey that has been targeted has been slaughtered before they even have time to react.

On the official road.

"Report the ......" In the long and mournful howl, a coalition army rushed to the army like a gallop, "I found the enemy horse!" Enemy Riders !! Spotted ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

The long howl of the coalition army has not stopped, and the hills on both sides of the official road have sounded the continuous sound of horns, and the coalition soldiers who are marching slowly raised their heads in shock, and suddenly their hearts are cold, only to see that the low hills on both sides of the official road have been crowded with black pressure Liangzhou cavalry.

on the hills.

Ma Chao led the wolf spear in his hand forward, and the sound of killing was everywhere, like the sky falling apart, and the three thousand Liangzhou iron horsemen suddenly surged down like a flood that broke the embankment.
