Chapter 3: The Traverser
Ma Chao finally wiped the silver spear, and the head of the silver spear shimmered again in the sunlight. Ma Chao stared at the little cold light flashing on the sharp spear head, revealing an evil grin, which frightened the rebel soldiers.
Ma Chao raised his voice and said: "Those who surrender and join my troops, regardless of Han and Qiang, can avoid death, and there will be military salaries paid monthly in the future; Those who do not obey will be killed. ”
The sound echoed across the grassland, stirring up the grass trees. As soon as the rebels heard this, they not only survived but also received their salaries, and the unyielding Qu Shuai also died in front of them, so they all threw down their weapons and jumped off their saddles in ecstasy. There is not a single person who does not fall.
Ma Chao was relieved. Three days ago, Han Sui saw that the previous batches of troops were either swallowed up by him or defeated by him, so he angrily sent a tribe of 8,000 horsemen from Caohan, intending to sneak attack Fufeng. Fortunately, Ma Chao had been out on an expedition to suppress the scattered troops of the rebels, and he happened to meet this lone army and escaped the catastrophe. Otherwise, the main force of the official army, that is, the army led by his father Ma Teng, is still in Anding County, and as soon as Fufeng is successfully attacked, Ma will be homeless.
It wasn't that hard to defeat this lone army. With his might, as soon as he rushed into the enemy formation, he turned the enemy formation upside down and made a mess. His Xiliang Iron Cavalry then attacked again, and the enemy army was routed, and more than 1,000 horsemen were beheaded. Ma Chao's iron cavalry bit the two thousand horsemen to the death, and let the remaining five thousand horsemen flee here. And after Ma Chao forced the 2,000 horsemen, he led the army to pursue the remaining 5,000 horsemen. If he hadn't ordered his general Pang De to lead 6,000 light cavalry to chase after the rebels and intercept them before they were about to run back to Ji County, then his trip would have been in vain.
Pound, who had made great contributions, also galloped over from the other side of the battlefield and asked, "Young master, what should I do next?" ”
Ma Chao ordered: "The old way: Ma Dai and Pang De, immediately disarm these people's blades, and scatter them and insert them into different tribes. You all know what's next, right? Repeat it again. ”
Ma Chao only has two generals, namely Ma Dai and Pang De. Ma Dai was only thirteen years old, but he prematurely embodied the style of a famous general; Ma Chao came to Pound again from Ma Teng.
Ma Dai said with a smile: "Naturally, I know that the officers of the various tribes are ordered to monitor them, and the soldiers are allowed to sit in a row with each other. If one of the troops is in rebellion, the whole army is killed; If someone in one team causes trouble, kill the whole team! ”
Pang De glanced at Ma Dai and said, "In addition, I will order the captain and the marquis to appease the surrendered soldiers, and first issue five thousand yuan to each of the surrendered soldiers to calm their hearts; If you preach the Qiang bloodline of the lord and the young lord, you will never harm them. ”
Ma Chao nodded and said, "It's good to know." In addition, this place is only 200 miles away from Ji County, where Han Sui is entrenched, and we need to beware of this Jiuqu Yellow River taking advantage of my defenselessness and sneaking up on the camp. Send out five hundred scouts to keep an eye on the movement in all directions. Go ahead and do it! ”
"Whoa!" Pound and Ma Dai both retired, and the iron cavalry under his command also rested and recuperated, martial law was under martial law, some took away the blades of the soldiers, some were responsible for bringing the soldiers to be inserted into the army, and some were responsible for distributing military salaries and new armor and weapons to the soldiers...... On the entire battlefield, Xiliang Tieqi was busy in an orderly manner.
At this time, Ma Chao's two little guards, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, had already set up tents for him. Ma Chao thought, first reorganize and descend here. After integrating the soldiers, he led the army to retreat south. This integration will take an hour or two, and Ma Chao plans to stay here for a while before leaving.
As soon as he approached the tent, he saw Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, two children under the age of ten, standing on their sides with helmets and armor. The two children still saluted him in style, and their immature faces were not serious and serious for this age. Ma Chao patted the shoulders of the two little guards, and Ma Tie and Ma Xiu's faces did not change. Ma Chao looked at it and felt funny, don't look at the serious faces of the two children, in fact, he was already happy in his heart.
Ma Chao doesn't care, Fufeng Ma is after General Fubo Ma Yuan. Therefore, even though it is Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, they all dream of galloping the field and recasting the glory of their ancestors. If it weren't for her father Ma Teng's favorite little sister Ma Yunlu, then she would have come to the front line.
After entering the camp tent, Ma Chao took off his heavy armor and hung up his weapons on the shelves. Although Ma Chao has the courage of ten thousand people, he still feels relaxed when he puts down his armor and weapons and sits on the soft marching couch. The winds on the steppes have always been strong. The strong wind swept into the camp tent and blew the horse Chao cool.
Listening to the noise of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry outside the camp, Ma Chao suddenly remembered something, sat up from the marching couch, took the bronze mirror and looked at this face that did not belong to him. This face is like a crown of jade, with smiling eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth...... It is not too much to praise with many idioms, and it lives up to the words of "Jinma Chao".
Ma Chao was suddenly a little stunned, although this face was handsome, it was not his; This body, the iron horse outside the tent, and the entire world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty are not his.
He was originally an ordinary college student in later generations, majoring in history and culture. An ordinary day in the afterlife, at the end of the day. He stared at the computer screen in a daze, as usual, worrying about the paper he couldn't write. Ma Chao believes that the inability to write a paper is similar to constipation. Because no matter how hard you grit your teeth and try your best, you can't get out, and the feeling of holding it inside makes people scratch your ears and cheeks.
Thinking about copying an article on the knowledge network to deal with it, thinking about the head teacher's face that he didn't recognize, Ma Chao still gave up. Just when he was grieving about this, the gradually darkening computer screen suddenly flashed a dazzling white light, and Ma Chao unconsciously quickly closed his eyes. As soon as you close your eyes, you lose consciousness. Then I don't know how long later, when he woke up, he came to Liangzhou in July 187 A.D. at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When he learned from Ma Dai's mouth that he actually crossed over to Ma Chao, the "Shenweitian General" with the same name as him, Ma Chao's heart was undoubtedly messy and collapsed. He never imagined that he would cross in such an indescribable way. And it is also through the great turmoil of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is also impartial to cross the famous Ma Chao!
Well, he finally doesn't have to worry about his papers and final exams! And he has become a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and he can enjoy glory and wealth in the future! At first, Ma Chao still thought so.
But he soon realized that his crossing was the loss of his parents, relatives and friends, and the way of life of the next generation...... All in all, he lost everything, which was already hopeless; And when Ma Chao looked at everything he had now, he was even more desperate.
In the fourth year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, in 187 AD, it was only two years before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and Liangzhou was still in chaos.
