In the early morning of this day, Cheng Yu smashed open the door of Lu Bu's house in the rain, and reported in a hurry: "Lord, the big thing is not good, Han Sui is the opposite"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, how could this old thief rebel again, he remembered that in March of the second year of Zhongping, he led tens of thousands of cavalry to enter Kou Sanfu under the banner of killing eunuchs, invaded the garden mausoleum, and was finally repelled by Huangfu Song.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, Han Sui cooperated with him Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, with 100,000 male soldiers, marched to surround Longxi, in April, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng contempt led the six county soldiers to crusade against Han Sui, Longxi Taishou Li Xiangru, Jiuquan Taishou Huang Yan took the lead in responding to Han Sui, and Han Sui cooperated with the chaos, and finally, Geng Contempt was killed by Liangzhou Don't drive, Hanyang County Haoqiang Kingdom, self-proclaimed general of the United States, raised troops to respond to Han Sui, and then surrounded Hanyang, Hanyang Taishou Fu Xie died in battle, at that time Ma Teng was still Geng Contempt's Sima, and also supported the army to rebel, The Xiliang rebels burned and looted all the way, attacking the Sanfu area.

Today's Xiliang not only has Lu Bu, but also Ma Teng who owns six counties, Han Sui of Jincheng County, and Liang Shuang of Wudu County, which are all princes of one side, and the number of troops has reached tens of thousands, of which Han Sui's soldiers and horses have nearly 100,000, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Lu Bu didn't dare to be careless, and immediately let his own soldiers quickly pass down the order, and Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Wei Yan, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and other civil and military officers rushed in the rain one after another, sat around and discussed countermeasures.

After listening to Cheng Yu's account, Jia Xu was the first to stand up and express his opinion: "According to the scout's secret report, in addition to Han Sui, there are also many Qiang people involved in this rebellion, and the soldiers and horses are about 150,000, and they have successively attacked Zhangye, Luanniao, Dichi, Lijing and other counties, since Ma Teng asked for help from our army, it shows that he can no longer control the situation, therefore, the lord needs to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and agreed with Jia Xu's words: "I intend to send troops to assist Ma Teng, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

Chen Gong stroked the short hair under his chin, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I agree, after Ma Teng is a famous general, we should come to the rescue, and the lord is the envoy of Xiliang, and he has the obligation to quell the rebellion and war." ”

Jia Xu nodded and agreed: "What Gongtai said is still secondary, the main thing is that Ma Teng is the nominal Liangzhou Thorn History, although the princes of the counties disobey his orders, but he occupies the righteousness, as long as the lord assists Ma Teng to quell the rebellion, this is a great achievement, not only that, the lord is a prince who came in from other counties, the power is weak, there is no foreign aid, if he can form an alliance with Ma Teng, the strength of the lord will be greatly enhanced"

Cheng Yu also got up and said: "I seconded the proposal, Han Sui is a fierce and introverted outlet, although he can be rampant for a while, but he can be captured in a battle!" ”

"Okay, according to what the three military advisors said, send troops to help Ma Teng put down the rebellion"

After listening to the words of the three of them, Lu Bu did not hesitate, and made the final decision.

"Slow down!" Jia Xu immediately interrupted Lu Bu and said: "Lord, Liang Shuang is fighting in Wudu, and there are still Qiangs such as Ginseng Wolf, Burning Dang, and White Horse in the west, if they take advantage of our army's northern expedition to lead troops to attack?" That's a big bad thing."

Jia Xu's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Lu Bu's head, which suddenly made him sober up a lot, and he hurriedly asked Ji at the moment: "What does Mr. Yi mean?" ”

"General Hansheng is stationed in the area of Lintao and Suoxi, General Gao Shun is stationed in the area of Shicheng and Heguan, and General Wenyuan is stationed in the area of Xixian, these places are all key points in Longxi, so they cannot be reckless, and the new army has just taken shape and is not suitable for war."

Cheng Yu frowned slightly: "According to what Wen He said, there are only four people who can be transferred: Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Xu Huang, and Jiang Xu, but the total number of these four groups is only 30,000, how can they resist the 150,000 rebels?" ”

"Zhongde is not in a hurry, and listen to the next way!"

Jia Xu stroked the short hair under his chin, and said unhurriedly: "Although General Wenyuan's soldiers and horses can't move, his station is adjacent to Jincheng, and the two places are only separated by a big river, so that General Wenyuan can go out day and night, making a big army cross the river, so that Han Sui can't take care of each other, if Han Sui refuses to retreat back to defense, then we will fake it and attack his lair!" ”

"Okay, just follow what the military advisor said!"

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Lu Bu finally made up his mind and led the army to quell the rebellion.

Immediately put pen to paper, urgently summoned Zhou Tai, Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Jiang Xu to lead the army to Longxian and Lu Bu round, selected the day of the army to send martial arts, ordered the envoy to receive the letter, braved the spring rain to leave Longxian, and quickly went straight to Didao and Hanyang.

A few days later, the city of Longxian has been a banner exhibition, the fence is lined up, the 30,000 army has been assembled, after some discussion, Lu Bu and everyone made the following decision, leaving Chen Gong and Song Xian to lead 5,000 men and horses to continue to garrison Longxian, Cheng Yu and Wei Xu sat in the county seat, and the rest of the generals led the remaining 30,000 horses to march north in the rain and attack Wuwei.

Xu Huang led 3,000 foot soldiers in the headquarters, 2,000 light cavalry as the vanguard, Wei Yan led 5,000 people and then took 10,000 people to Ayang and marched along the East Road, Ganning 3,000 people in front, Jiang Xu led 7,000 people Later, Lu Bu and Jia Xu and Zhou Tai led more than 10,000 men and horses to walk along the West Road along Wating. The two armies marched hand in hand, rounding twenty miles northwest of Luyin, and trying to rescue them.

The order must be out, and people and horses from all walks of life have put on their sleeves and left the camp, only bringing more than a month's worth of dry food, and marching lightly in the rain towards the Wuwei Zhishu Guzang in the northwest direction.

Under the city of Cangsong in Wuwei County, the sound of killing shook the sky, and arrows flew one after another.

Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops under the banner of "Han" surrounded Cangsong, attacking day and night, under continuous pressure, the resistance in the city became more and more sparse, and there were gradually signs of breaking the city.

Ma Teng commanded the soldiers to defend the city, while personally slashing the Han Sui army who landed in the city, only to see that his whole body has been infected with blood, and the armor is also somewhat damaged, since receiving the secret report of Han Sui's rebellion, he personally led the army to garrison Zhangye, and Han Sui's Xiliang army launched a field battle, originally both sides were evenly matched, no one could help anyone, but it was a pity that the Xiqiang King Cheriji and the Xiqiang general Yue Xi turned to the battlefield and surrendered to Han Sui, resulting in a big defeat for their own side. But the unfortunate news came one after another, Yadan, the prime minister of Xiqiang, rebelled in Guzang and slaughtered the Han people in the city, and the Ma family was not spared, except for a few people who survived the disaster, the rest of them all became the souls of the Qiang people.

Ma Teng has the hatred of the country and the family, and has been holding on to Cangsong for more than half a month, during which he has continued to ask for help from the two counties of Beidi and Anding, but he has not seen the messenger come back, it seems that Cheng Gongying and Cheng Yin do not plan to help, but Ma Teng still has a glimmer of hope, that is, Lu Bu of Longxi.

At the beginning, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, because he had not had much intersection with Lu Bu, and the two sides had been hostile, he was not sure whether Lu Bu would send troops to help, but he had already made up his mind in his heart that if Lu Bu could help him survive this catastrophe, he would draw Anding and Beidi to Lu Bu, provided that he had to behead Cheng Yin and Cheng Gongying's two thieves first.

"Woo!"

The whimpering horn pierced the sky, and Han Sui of the Central Army Department saw that the sky was getting darker, and ordered the army to stop attacking the city, retreat to the camp, and after being full of wine and food, come to attack Cangsong again tomorrow morning.

Seeing the enemy retreating, Ma Teng was exhausted and paralyzed on the ground, panting heavily, he had not closed his eyes for several days and nights, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see his wife looking at him covered in blood, and asked Ma Teng why he didn't save them, Ma Teng was very frightened, so he didn't dare to close his eyes.

Standing up with his sword supporting his body, Ma Teng raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see thousands of miles of land, all yellow sand, and the undulating outline of the Great Wall twisted and turned, not knowing where it would end up.
