Chapter 293: Tingzhou News
Thank you for the tips of "Rumble Book Friend", "Scarecrow" and "Reminiscence".
……
The young man took the Mo knife with both hands, and with a sudden wave, a knife light lit up.
"Good!" Ma Lan praised loudly.
The young man blushed, and made a few chopping movements in a row, but it was easy and effortless.
Luo Jin said: "General, since this kid came here, he has worked hard every day, and he has the ability. Wuhai guarded more than 200 people, and few of them were his opponents. ”
Ma Lan smiled and nodded.
The Mo knife is extremely heavy, and it can't be used just by boiling strength, and it must be born with two strengths. This kid is tall and has long arms, and at first glance he looks like a strange knife hand.
The young man waved the Mo knife with one hand, still in a tiger style, Ma Lan clapped his hands and smiled: "It's done!" Lao Luo, I took this kid away! ”
"Yes, General!" Luo Jin said busily. Ma Lan is the envoy of the Beiting Festival, and he is his boss, and he doesn't need to ask for his consent if he wants to take anyone away.
"Boy, you're a cultivator. Follow the general in the future, don't lose the face of our guard, you know? ”
The young man was extremely excited and nodded again and again.
Since his father died in battle here, Luo Jin has always taken great care of him, it can be said that he is his uncle, Luo Jin's words, he naturally wants to listen.
The other guards looked at the young man with envy on their faces. Luo Jin hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "General, I have two brothers here and a few brothers with strength, beg the general to give them a chance." ”
Ma Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes." This expedition to Mobei already needs manpower, and those who are willing to go and can make Modao move will follow me. It is estimated that your side will be clean for a while, and if you slaughter this tribe this time, the Turks will definitely not come again, and it is useless to keep too many good hands. ”
"Thank you, General!" Luo Jin was overjoyed. As soon as Ma Lan finished speaking, a soldier who was also killed by his father stood up and snatched the Mo knife from the young man's hand.
Ma Lan smiled. Leaving the matter of selecting soldiers to Duan Xiushi, he took Kang Xiaoyu to the side and left the crowd far away.
"Brother Pony, what happened to you just now?" Kang Xiaoyu stared at Ma Lan. Dai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I've never seen such a crazy look." Brother Pony, I felt ...... just now It feels like you're just another person. ”
Ma Lan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and his heart trembled slightly. Isn't he just another person? The memory of the proud Guanzhong man made him unable to get rid of this deep affection, but he was him after all, a guest after a thousand years, not the Guanzhong man back then.
This way from the broken leaf river, it is always inevitable to remember some things that I knew in my previous life. When you arrive in Broken Leaf City, you will naturally think of the Tongzhi Rebellion, after Bai Yanhu was driven out of Xinjiang by Zuo Zongtang, he took the rebels to live near Broken Leaf City, forming the so-called Dungan people. And to the Ili Valley. Naturally, I will think of the Yining Incident and the Han people in the three districts who were killed.
This is his own memory, and it has nothing to do with the Guanzhong man Ma Lan. When he thinks about these things, he is just himself.
The two memories are entangled, although he understands who he is, but he is still affected by the memory of Ma Lan, a man in Guanzhong. This affection should not have belonged to him, but he could not give it up. This beautiful woman was a deadly poison for Ma Lan, a former Guanzhong man, and the same is true for him now.
Women are sensitive after all, and Kang Xiaoyu has already noticed something unusual. He couldn't share the memories of a thousand years later with her, so he could only cover them up.
In fact, it is so hidden. In fact, it is very immoral. However, in the face of this beautiful woman, he knew that he would never be able to give up this affection.
"Nothing, just remembering something. It's all right, light rain. You don't have to worry. Ma Ling held Kang Xiaoyu's little hand and said softly.
……
Tingzhou has three counties under its jurisdiction, lined up along the grassland at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, from west to east are Luntai, Jinman and Pu, and the state is located in Jinman County. From the westernmost Wuhai to the east, the distance is more than 1,000 miles.
Wuhai Shou caught a total of more than a dozen strange knife hands. That's pretty good. There are still many soldiers who want to follow Ma Lu to establish meritorious deeds, but the principle of the new army in Anxi has always been that they would rather be lacking than excessive, and soldiers who cannot use the Mo sword will not be selected.
"Lao Luo, take a good look here. When the Hui is extinguished, a certain will come again. ”
"Yes, General!"
The army left Wuhai and continued eastward. The newcomers from Wuhai who were captured did not know how to have one person and three horses, and the marching speed was naturally slower, and it was already evening when they arrived at the Liqian Jiande River.
This place was later called the Manas River, which was the front line of confrontation between the government army and the rebels after the Yining Incident, and the first line of defense to "defend Dadihua". When he arrived here, Ma Lan naturally sighed again.
The army set up camp on the riverside, rested for the night, and then rose out of camp and crossed the frozen river to Luntai County.
When he arrived at Zhangbao to guard and arrest, Ma Ling selected more than a dozen old men who could make Mo Dao by the way. When I arrived in Tingzhou this time, Gao Qianqian would have a large amount of ordnance to be transported, and the new army of Anxi would definitely expand its army.
Zhangbao was not far from Luntai County, and soon after the army left Zhangbao to capture, a force of more than 1,000 ironclad cavalry galloped out of Luntai County and went straight to the army. The two leaders were Du Huaiguang, the envoy of the Han Navy, and Li Qiyun, the marching army.
Both of these people were personally appointed by Ma Lan, although they had only met once in Yizhou, Ma Lan remembered them clearly. Seeing these two people, Ma Lan finally knew about the follow-up to the invasion of Pu County by the Hui people.
……
"It turns out that it was the Fugu tribe that invaded the Pu, so this matter actually has nothing to do with Gel Khan?" Ma Lan looked at Du Huaiguang and asked.
"Yes, General. The Fugu tribe has been slaughtered by me, and the rest of the scattered tribes can be said to no longer exist. However, his subordinates knew that the general would not let go of this opportunity, and the Han Navy was ready to attack at any time. ”
"What about Chang'an? Has there been any change in the events of the Northern Expedition? ”
"I heard that Gele had defended himself several times, and that the envoy had been beaten to death with a stick as soon as he arrived in the city. His Majesty is also bound to win this time, and refuses to give Gele a chance. ”
Ma Lan nodded, after all, Your Majesty's time is short, and with such an opportunity, he must want to complete this great martial art and get rid of hidden dangers for future generations. The emperor's heart is as hard as iron, since he has decided to kill Hui Hui, where will he give Hui Khan a chance to explain.
"Miss Gao has already transported a large amount of supplies to Tingzhou through the Baishui Stream, and she herself is there now. Dr. Feng trained another 3,000 new troops, and now they are stationed in Tingzhou. At present, the materials in Tingzhou City are piled up, and everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the general's army. Du Huaiguang said continuously.
Ma Xuan nodded, there is nothing to say about the abilities of Gao Qianqian and Doctor Feng, they can always do their best. The Datang Iron Cavalry crisscrosses the west of the Green Mountain, but the foundation is in Anxi, which can be said to be on these two people.
"There is another piece of news, the general should not be angry when he hears it."
"What?"
Du Huaiguang thought that he was Ma Lan's private person, and he had no taboos, so he said: "Yang Guozhong, the head of the Hokkaido march, has now arrived in Tingzhou!" ”
"Yang Guozhong! What did he come to do? When Ma Lu heard this, his face immediately changed.
"Yang Guozhong is the coach of this northern expedition, and there is nothing wrong with him coming to Tingzhou. However, after this guy arrived in Tingzhou, he publicly said that among the six routes of the Northern Expedition, he was most worried about the general's department, so he wanted to come here to sit in person. What does he mean, his subordinates know very well, such a blatant slander of the general, if he was not the general's father-in-law, the subordinates would have knocked out his teeth long ago. Du Huaiguang said, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong.
Ma Ling snorted, and the last thing he wanted to see happened.
The six armies attacked separately, and the safest one was their own way. Originally, I was going to ignore the other roads, directly attack the territory of Huifu, and hit Baishan first before talking about anything else, but I didn't expect Yang Guozhong to come here from Chang'an. How could he not have fallen to his death after such a long journey!
"General, what Yang Guozhong meant in his words was nothing more than that the general had bad intentions." Li Qiyun was also very direct, "What he said was extremely obvious, when he arrived in Tingzhou, he went around to woo our soldiers, and his subordinates were worried that he would be unfavorable to you in this northern expedition." ”
Ma Luan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he sneered: "If I have bad intentions, how can he have the courage to come here, and he is not afraid of being hacked to death by me!" If you want to be in my army, you must be able to ride a hundred and fifty miles a day! Let's go, let's go to Luntai first. When I get to Tingzhou, I want to see how arrogant Yang Guozhong is in front of me! ”
Yang Guozhong's guy is a fly, and now he is simply haunted. At this time, Ma Lan suddenly remembered the proverb that the golden knife was chaotic.
If Yang Guozhong really has the ability to kill himself on the way to the Northern Expedition, then the battle of the Northern Expedition will be reversed in an instant, in that case, it will immediately be a chaotic situation in the world.
Angry is angry, Yang Guozhong still has to face it. He is the left minister, and he is also the prime minister, and he is the head of the Hokkaido march, but this is west of the quicksand, everything is under his own control, and he is not Yang Guozhong, what can he do? If he is in a hurry, it will be him Yang Guozhong who is killing himself!
Although it is from a thousand years later, the soul of the Guanzhong man Ma Lan still deeply influences him. He doesn't understand the set of flies and dogs in the court, and he doesn't want to understand it, so if he can do it, he can't move his mouth as much as possible, and the return of the Northern Expedition is related to the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and he is in a hurry to kill Yang Guozhong.
Kang Xiaoyu saw Ma Lan's annoyed expression, and silently stretched out his little hand and clenched Ma Lan's big hand. Du Huaiguang and Li Qiyun felt extremely weird, and hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at it again.
This beautiful woman always calms him down.
Ma Lu took a deep breath, didn't say anything more, and ordered the army to continue to advance and go straight to Luntai City. (To be continued.) )
