Chapter Ninety-Two: The Slow March

In front of the rocky mountain in Xiliang, the king of roast goose took Yu and his three biological sons to hold an ancient sacrificial ceremony. This is the sacrifice that the Qiang people have to hold when they go out to fight, begging for God's blessing and returning triumphantly.

Lu Rui and the three of them rode horses on the side, watching tens of thousands of troops bow to Luoshi Mountain, and at the same time shouting in the Qiang language that the three of them could not understand.

"Brother Jiang? Don't you make sacrifices? Seeing Jiang Jian riding on a horse next to him, without the slightest sacrificial appearance, Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, could it be that Jiang Jian didn't believe in ghosts and gods?

"Master Hou, if it was in the past, he would definitely sacrifice to the heavens and ask the gods for blessing like the clansmen, but now he will not be embarrassed."

"Oh? What made Brother Jiang change his customs since childhood? ”

"Master Hou, as the so-called Zi is silent, strange and confused. Master Confucius's teachings, how can you not listen to them? ”

"I see!"

"Fan, it's time to go!" The sacrifice of the army of the roast goose king ended quickly, and Lu Rui and the three of them marched towards Chang'an with the army.

"Master Hou, it's not too early, should we set up camp by the stream in front and leave tomorrow?" Wei Duan saw that the sky was gradually darkening, and reminded Lu Rui.

"Okay, Hugh Fu is right, let's garrison the front." Lu Rui originally thought that there were a lot of cavalry in the Falling Stone Fort, but the actual situation was different, the major tribes of the Qiang Nationality were mainly infantry, and the cavalry accounted for only a few, and a large tribe like the Falling Stone Fort only had a few thousand cavalry.

LΓΌ Rui led a large army to march slowly to Chang'an, and the reinforcements of Ma Chao and Han Sui had arrived in Chang'an and joined Ma Teng's army, totaling 100,000 soldiers. The city of Chang'an was surrounded.

"Meng Qi. Is your intelligence accurate? Ma Teng held the information handed over by Ma Chao in his hand. The eyebrows furrowed into a crescent moon.

"Father, this is the information transmitted by the child's henchmen in the Qiang tribe, and there can be no mistake."

"Brother Shoucheng, it seems that Cao Mengde is forcing our two families to death, if Brother Shoucheng still has illusions about Cao Cao, then wouldn't my Xiliang Army be a mermaid?"

"This?"

"Brother Shoucheng, Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him. Now that the Han has also lost Wang Wei, why don't we join forces and divide Xiliang? Wouldn't this be better than surrendering to Cao Mengde? ”

"What Brother Wen Yue said is reasonable!" Ma Teng sighed, the king of the roast goose actually sent troops to assist Cao Cao in attacking the Xiliang army, this is a dangerous signal, the Ma family and the Han family have always been Han people with absolute prestige in the Qiang land, and now there are people in the Qiang family who are willing to serve Cao Cao, which means that Cao Cao's influence can be compared with the Ma family and the Han family.

"Father, Cao Cao first sent someone to seal the official, and then the army attacked. Now he is winning over the Qiang people, this is to drive out my Ma family. Please think again! Ma Chao waved his robe and knelt down.

"Please think twice, father!" Ma Tie and Ma Xiu also knelt down.

"Good! Cao Mengde actually treats me like this, I won't be merciful, Meng Qi, from today onwards, my father's army will be under your command, so that Cao Cao can see the power of my Xiliang Iron Cavalry! "Since Cao Cao can persuade the Roast Goose King to send troops, it means that even without Ma Teng, he can control Xiliang, Ma Teng's value is not high, and there is no point in surrendering.

"Thank you, father!"

"Meng Qi, since Brother Shoucheng handed over the soldiers and horses to you, my father-in-law will also support you, and my father-in-law's eight strong generals will be handed over to you to command, so that Cao Cao can see the power of my Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Ma Chao bowed to Han Sui, in the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao thinks that his military talent is the highest, it can be said that he is invincible, as long as there are soldiers and horses in his hands, then he can be proud of the world.

"Report, lord, the Xiliang Army has sent a war letter!" After Ma Chao obtained the command of the Xiliang Army, he immediately issued a war letter to Cao Cao.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Xiliang Army has asked our army to fight and decided to fight tomorrow in the west of the city, I don't know what you think?" After Cao Cao read the war book, he handed it to Xu Chu and asked Xu Chu to circulate it to everyone.

"Lord, my subordinates think that the lord should go to war, Bufan and Fengxiao have come to Chang'an with reinforcements from the Qiang tribe, if the lord is timid and does not dare to fight the Xiliang army, I am afraid it will affect the morale of the army." Xun You was the first to stand up and support Cao Cao in the battle.

"Subordinates, please fight!" Xiahou Yuan was the first to stand up.

"Pure Battle!" Cao Chun was defeated by the Xiliang Army for the first time, and he just held his breath in his heart, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to be ashamed.

"What do you think, Berda?" Cao Cao glanced at Sima Lang to see what suggestions the head of Sima Bada had.

"Lord Sikong, my subordinates think that the Xiliang Army is known as a 100,000 army, and its elite is just the pro-army of Ma Teng and Han Sui, but only 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, and the rest of the so-called mercenaries are not strong, our army has 100,000 soldiers in a hundred battles, if you should not fight, I am afraid that the world will laugh at it, please think twice!"

"Well, what Boda said is reasonable, and he ordered the whole army to go out of the city tomorrow to face the battle, and let the Xiliang army see how powerful my Yanzhou army is!"

"No!"

On the second day, Cao Cao led an army of 80,000 to the plain west of the city. Ma Teng and Han Sui waited early in the plain west of the city with a large army.

"Lord Sikong, please ask the commander of the Xiliang Army to come out for a conversation!" Xu Chu took the lead and escorted Cao Cao out of Cao's military formation.

"Xiliang Shenwei Tian General Ma Chao, I've seen Lord Sikong!" I saw a white-robed young general holding a silver spear and riding a black Dawan horse out of the Xiliang army array.

"Huh?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, Cao Ying's civil and military forces were stunned, originally Cao Cao's intention was to divide Han Sui and Ma Teng, after all, the Xiliang Army actually had two commanders, Han Sui and Ma Teng, but it was not these two people who came out, but Ma Chao!

"Hahahaha! What is the position of General Kamuiten? I don't have this official position, everyone, do you know what this position is? Cao Cao saw that it was Ma Chao who came out, and began to laugh at his title, the two armies are fighting, you should report the regular title, the title given by a foreign tribe like General Shenweitian, it is really unseemly to use it here.

"Hahaha! I didn't know that there was such an official position. Cao Jun's civil and military forces cooperated with Cao Cao, and he laughed.

"Lord Sikong, Chao has already sent someone to Xu Du to ask His Majesty for this official position, you don't have to laugh, I'm afraid it won't be long before General Shenweitian is the official position of the Great Han!" Ma Chao smiled slightly, and pointed at Cao Jun Wenwu with a silver gun.

"Oh?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, Ma Chao looked young, he was so urban, and in the face of everyone's laughter, he could still be calm, a terrible opponent.

Ma Chao saw Cao Cao's appearance, and smiled secretly in his heart, Cao Mengde, everyone calls you the traitor of the Han Dynasty, the eloquence of Wen Tao and Wu Strategy, Wen Zhi may be better than me, but Wu Liu, I, Ma Mengqi, am the first of the Han Dynasty!

Just when Cao Cao's army confronted the Xiliang army, Pang De led the elite javelin cavalry among the elite of the Xiliang army to slowly approach Chang'an. (To be continued......)
