Chapter 436: Ma Teng's Death
In early May, Li Yi and Lu Bu finally returned to Youzhou.
Looking at the familiar city in front of them, both of them had a feeling of being separated from each other.
On the grassland, I am accustomed to seeing the vast sea of grass, and when I see the city at first glance, I have an awkward feeling, as if the whole world is shaking, slowly swaying with the breeze.
"Lord, I estimate that I will have to rest for a while, otherwise this feeling cannot be erased, and it will have a great impact on my strength." Lu Bu said slowly, and as he spoke, he repeated his feelings just now.
Li Yi looked over and found that except for Lu Bu, the other soldiers were a little staggering, although they were riding on horses, they could clearly be seen shaking.
It's not the horses and the earth that are shaking, it's themselves shaking.
Feeling the powerful privilege of his aliens, he also shook a few times, but he could imagine how big the influence of the aborigines was.
"Fengxian, lead the remaining 200,000 soldiers to rest, give you three months, no, half a year's rest, if it is not enough, it can be extended again." Li Yi explained, and then asked Lu Bu to take everyone to rest.
The journey of nearly two months turned an army of 500,000 into 200,000.
The casualties in the battle with the Xianbei alien race were only about 230,000, but in the face of the threat of grasslands and wild beasts, 70,000 were killed in the battle, leaving the army with only 200,000 left.
Fortunately, the 200,000 were not seriously injured or disabled, and the most serious injuries were only minor injuries.
Because the seriously injured have died on the grassland, they have been eaten by wolves as food, and now they have become dung, making the grassland more lush.
The listless Lu Bu led the remaining soldiers and left directly, heading towards their original military camp.
Watching them leave, Li Yi cheered up and waited for the arrival of Chen Gong and the others.
"Woo woo woo ......" The dull horn sounded, representing the majesty of the state pastor, and a group of mighty cavalry, dressed in neat armor, like a machine, walked slowly.
Behind them, strategists such as Chen Gong and Li Ru, as well as generals such as Huang Zhong and Guan Hai, followed closely behind.
……
"My lord, this is the latest detailed information, please check it out!" Jia Xu handed the latest major information to Li Yi, so that Li Yi could understand everything in detail.
Originally, he needed to explain, but who made Li Yi an alien, as early as when he was in the grassland, he was able to talk to other players through messages, and in the mouths of Xiaowei and Daringless, he roughly understood what happened after he left.
Youzhou is still like a paradise in troubled times, and no forces have come to make trouble.
Even Cao Cao, who controlled the land of Sanzhou, regarded the mall as if he didn't see it.
As for the third state controlled by Cao Cao, it was Liangzhou.
When Ma Teng launched the Qiang army, Cao Cao laid a trap, pretended to go to conquer Yuan Shao, and ambushed the army near Chang'an behind his back, waiting for the time to be ripe and kill him in a battle.
It's a pity that Ma Teng seemed to notice something, and at the last moment, he let the Qiang people go up, while his Liangzhou army was watching from behind.
Waiting for Chang'an to be in danger, Cao Cao decisively ordered the army to attack.
Dian Wei, who was ambushed in Chang'an City, made a surprise attack, and saw that the patriarch of the Qiang tribe "couldn't take it" and killed it, and after he couldn't take it, the entire Qiang tribe was in chaos, and under the attack of the army, all of them were killed in an hour.
It's a pity that in the end, Ma Teng was allowed to run.
However, Cao Cao still has a back hand, that is, Han Sui of Liangzhou, after reaching an agreement with Cao Cao, Han Sui attacked Ma Teng, who had just returned, killed him, and then surrendered to Cao Cao, becoming the assassin of Liangzhou, and the pastor of Liangzhou was Cao Cao.
The general situation is like this, and the information handed over by Jia Xu is almost consistent with the information, but it is more detailed.
"Oh, Ma Teng is dead?" After reading it, Li Yi muttered.
"Yes, Ma Teng died thirteen days ago, he was killed by Han Sui, but Ma Teng seems to have expected something, several of his sons and nephews have run away, and their whereabouts are still unknown." Jia Xu reminded.
"Hmm." Listening to Jia Xu's words, Li Yi continued to read.
After reading it all, I have a comprehensive understanding of things, compared to the history of the previous life, it is almost the same, the only difference is that the time is several years in advance.
The current Ma Chao is probably a second-rate historical general, and he has not yet reached the first-class, so his character is not so arrogant and easy to make mistakes. With the assistance of Pound, he disappeared with a million elites.
Whether it is Liangzhou or Bingzhou, even Si Li has no trace of them, but one thing is certain, that is, he did not come to Youzhou, if he came, he would know as soon as possible.
"Do you know the movements of Ma Chao and the others?" Li Yi asked.
When this question was asked, Jia Xu shook his head, with the current information, he could only guess, and as for Ma Chao's exact location, no one could say.
Even Li Yi is the same, there is a big difference between his current development and his previous life.
In his previous life, Yuan Shao's strength had the absolute upper hand, and if it weren't for Guo Jia's sacrifice, he would not have been able to defeat at all.
And now, it is Cao Cao who is suppressing Yuan Shao, Guo Jia has successfully advanced, and even his previous illnesses have been cured, and his body is very healthy, unless he is crazy, he will not die unexpectedly.
Even Ma Chao is like this, in his previous life, Ma Chao was chased and killed by Cao Cao, and even Pang De was captured by Cao Cao because he rescued Ma Chao, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao.
Thinking about the contrast between his past life and the present, Li Yi sighed lightly.
"Lord, although I can't be sure, there are nothing more than two places, one is Qingzhou and the other is Yizhou." Li Ru said after hearing the sigh.
His words sparked a debate among several people in Chen Gong.
"I think Ma Chao should go to Qingzhou, whether it is strength or power, Yuan Shao is above Liu Bei, Ma Chao wants revenge, there is only one way for Yuan Shao." This is Chen Gong's point of view.
However, his point of view made him continue to disagree with Li Ru.
The two of them agreed that Ma Chao went to Liu Bei, because the terrain of Yizhou determines everything, as long as several passes are guarded, then Yizhou is an iron-clad country, unless Cao Cao attacks with all his might, otherwise it will not be able to break through.
The three of them quarreled for a long time, and no one could subdue anyone, so they had to look at Li Yi, hoping to know the answer in Li Yi's mouth.
"Ahem, I think Ma Chao went to Liu Bei, because it was there that he could rise, or find the hope of rising, but if he came to us, maybe the opportunity would be greater, but it's a pity, it's a pity." Li Yi said two pities in a row.
In order to express the unhappiness in his heart, in the previous life, after Lu Bu's death, Ma Chao was known as the existence of Xiao Lu Bu, and his strength was even more powerful.
If Ma Chao comes to him, as long as he gives him a hope, he can make him surrender to himself, although it is only temporary, but he believes that after a long time, he can make Ma Chao completely surrender and be his diehard.
"Does the lord take a fancy to that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, and do you need us to secretly arrest Ma Chao?" Huang Zhong looked at Li Yi's face and proposed.
His proposal calmed down the three of Chen Gong.
Because Huang Zhong's proposal is much more useful than their quarrel, no matter where Ma Chao goes, arrest him, and then lock him up, if he surrenders, he will be released, and if he does not surrender, he will always be imprisoned, just like those people.
As soon as his proposal came out, Guan Hai and the others' faces were a little unhappy, if Li Yi stood down and there were a few more generals, their rankings would have to retreat, especially in case Gao Ran and Zhang He surrendered, they would have to retreat two positions.
Their strength is deeply understood in the short period of time they have been imprisoned.
When it's okay, you will be taken by Huang Zhong to fight against them, if you lose, you will be miserable, you will be specially trained by Huang Zhong, and then speed up the improvement of your strength, if you win, then it will be fine.
But so far, except for Huang Zhong, no one has been able to tie with them, unless a few people join forces.
"Okay, this is not needed, since he didn't come to Youzhou, it means that he has no chance with me, tell me about other people's information." Li Yi smiled and rejected Huang Zhong's proposal.
Skipping Ma Chao's question, he asked about the other princes in the south.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that Sun Quan of Yangzhou defeated Liu Biao at the end of April and captured hundreds of millions of soldiers and countless grain and grass materials, so that Liu Biao had to ask Liu Bei for help.
It's a pity that he doesn't want to think about it, Liu Bei, who just occupied Yizhou, dares to send troops there, especially now that Cao Cao has occupied Liangzhou, but he can attack his existence, and if he can't control his territory and go out to fight, isn't that looking for death.
So he rejected Liu Biao's proposal, which made Liu Biao very helpless, fortunately Sun Quan did not attack Jingzhou, otherwise Liu Biao would be in danger.
After a brief meeting, the crowd dispersed.
Although they were very concerned about the trip to the grassland, they knew that Li Yi was a little tired, so they didn't ask carefully, but after knowing that Li Yi and Lu Bu had slaughtered the two cities, they all applauded.
Everyone here, except for a few, is basically from the north, and they hate foreign races very much, and Li Yi's actions show that they want to eliminate foreign races on a large scale, which makes them excited.
……
Time flies, and the fall of Liangzhou Ma Teng has brought a different atmosphere to the Han.
Because this determines that the overlord of the north is Cao Cao, Cao Cao, who is located in Liangzhou and the three states of the state, connects the territory and grows greatly.
And his opponent Yuan Shao occupies five states such as Qingzhou, and the three eastern states are also under his command, but as long as he is a smart person, he knows that Yuan Shao is not Cao Cao's opponent.
Whether it is from the perspective of generals or strategists, Yuan Shao is inferior to Cao Cao, if it weren't for his strong assets, he would have been defeated when he was subordinate.
Now, both of them are quiet.
One took the opportunity to firmly grasp the three states in his hands, and the other was to expand the army crazily, using all the money to build equipment, preparing to fight with Cao Cao, and the next big war will decide the fate of the world.
Because once one side wins, the whole world will fall into a big war, and the other princes will not let the two easily occupy the opponent's territory, they will secretly reach out, or openly fight, to seize the fruits of the victor, and prepare for them to dominate the world.
