Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1051 Ma Teng's Ambition

Longguan, this is not a pass, but a mountain road from Guanzhong to Liangzhou. Because the mountain road is narrow and looks like a pass, it is called Longguan.

In front of Longguan, a group of cavalry marched in the wind.

"Father, Longguan is ahead!"

Pioneer is a young man with a heroic appearance. He has a horse under his crotch and a gun in his hand. He is as imposing as a tiger. He stands in front of the mountain road, reins the horse, returns directly to the central army, and reports to the general.

"Longguan?"

The middle-aged man raised his head, his eyes were like lightning, he looked ahead, and said faintly: "Send the order, speed up the march, and pass Longguan as soon as possible!"

After passing Longguan, it is Hanyang.

Entering Hanyang is equivalent to returning to Liangzhou.

"Father, is it really okay for me to return to Liangzhou at this time?" the boy asked in a low voice.

"Liangzhou is our Liangzhou!"

The middle-aged man said coldly: "I will never allow Liangzhou to be lost!"

"But if the Grand Master's Mansion blames it!"

"We won Liangzhou, no one can blame us!" The middle-aged man said firmly.

"Lord!"

A fast horse, coming back from the front, is a young man on the horse.

General of Xiliang, Yang Qiu.

He jumped off his horse, bowed his head under the middle-aged man, and cupped his hands to report: "My lord, the street pavilion has encountered an enemy!"

"Where is the enemy army?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression suddenly became tense.

"Suspected to be Mu Jun!"

"Not sure?"

"I can't see their numbers!"

Yang Qiu said: "But looking at their formation, it is likely to be the Mu army, not the Beidi army. I am familiar with the Beidi army, and I can be sure. As far as Liangzhou is concerned, besides the Beidi army, only the Mu army The army and the shepherd army are rigorous, they are all elite, and the phalanxes are uniformly spaced between the marches, and the actions are consistent, there should be no doubt!"

The Xiliang army is led by actions, but the overall situation is like a collection of warlords.

Except for Dong Zhuo's direct lineage, Ma Teng's Longxi Army, Han Sui's Jincheng Army, and Zhang Xiu's Beidi Army all belong to the Xiliang Army system.

In today's Xiliang, apart from the main force of the Mu army, there is only Zhang Xiu's Beidi army left.

Zhang Xiu became famous in the Northland. After his uncle Zhang Ji died in the battle of Wudu, he took charge of his own affairs. He summoned Zhang Ji's old troops in the Northland, integrated troops and horses, and formed a single army. He can also be regarded as a member of the Xiliang warlord system.

"Ma Chao!"

"exist!"

The boy suddenly got a jolt, and quickly raised his head and chest out.

"I order you to lead an army of three thousand and cross Longguan at top speed. You must recapture the street pavilion, and there must be no mistakes!" The middle-aged man is Ma Teng, one of the Xiliang warlords, who holds the elite Xiliang army in his hand. State Shepherd Army.

But the change in Liangzhou made him make a decision.

So here he is.

"promise!"

Ma Chao took the lead, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.

………………

street kiosk.

The first battalion of the Yellow Turban Army, with more than [-] soldiers, has just camped here at Jieting after a long journey.

"Brigade Commander!"

A young man came up and reported to the captain, "We found that there is a water source under the mountain, but the mountain is more suitable for defense. Where should we camp?"

"It's been so many years, I told you not to call Lu Shuai anymore, you just don't listen!"

"Uncle, I'm used to it!" The young man smiled mischievously.

"It's not good to get used to it. Now we are all young men in the army, with strict military discipline. We are no longer the mob of the past. There must be rules. In the army, you can call me a captain, or a general!" Fei Li said with a cold face. Ru Bing reprimanded her nephew.

As the number one general under Huang Shao's command, Fei Li is a famous fighter. The iron barrel battle formation he personally trained was the one that could stop even Mushan. Not to mention the first in defense, but in terms of defense alone. , is no worse than the Shuofang Camp, the most famous of the Mu Army.

"Yes!"

Young Fei Zhong held his head high and shouted loudly: "Report to Captain Captain, our scouts have surveyed the surrounding terrain and found two suitable places to camp. One is on the South Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The other is It's at the foot of the mountain, although the defense is a little weaker, but the water source is sufficient, please give orders from the captain!"

"If we are stationed in Nanshan and the water source is cut off, we can support it for a few days!"

"If you store water, it can last for more than half a month!"

"Go to Nanshan!"

He gave the order with great effort, and said in a deep voice: "Our task is to hold on to the street pavilion for ten days, waiting for the main force to enter, so in half a month, even if the water source is cut off, we can persist!"

"promise!"

A group of military orders took the lead.

"Report!"

A scout galloped up.

"Say!"

Fei Li's pupils flickered slightly, and he let out a low drink.

"Report to Captain Lieutenant, enemy scouts have been found in Longguan, suspected to be Xiliang Army!"

"Xiliang Army?"

Fei Li's face changed slightly: "Isn't the Xiliang army in Chencang, why did it appear here?"

The Yellow Turban Army detoured through Liangzhou through Qishan Road, intending to borrow the road from Hanyang in Liangzhou, and then entered Guanzhong. After walking, it was Longguan Road, but before entering Longguan Road, they found the traces of the Xiliang Army.

This made Fei Li have to think again, whether our army's strategic deployment has been leaked again, so the Guanzhong Army has already set up an ambush in Longguan.

But he had to think, if there was an ambush in Longguan, the scouts wouldn't show up so easily. Once the scouts from both sides met, it would be tantamount to revealing their deeds. How could they continue to set up ambushes, how could they ambush.

"Give me an order to quickly go up Nanshan, set up a defense line, release all the scouts, and check the surroundings carefully. You must check every inch of the terrain, pay attention to the enemy's traces, and report immediately if you approach our army!"

"promise!"

"Fei Zhong!"

"exist!"

"Hurry up and return to Qishan Road, and report the matter here to General Zhonglang, and General Zhonglang to make a decision!"

"As ordered!"

The young man led his personal soldiers on the left and right, and three fast horses, galloped away, heading south to Qishan Mountain. At this time, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was still in Qishan Mountain. The transportation was originally difficult, but it has just left Qishan, and it will take some time to go north.

…………

Longguan Mountain Road.

The Xiliang army formed a long dragon from front to back, and crossed the mountain road in a column.

"Lord!"

Li Kan is also a general of Xiliang, his style name is Changxing, he was born as a scholar, he is both civil and military. Excellent with guns and knives, has martial arts strategy, is good at planning troops, and is often a military adviser.

He cupped his hands and said, "Could it be that the herd army knew our whereabouts in advance, so they blocked us here. To the west of Longguan, there is a street pavilion. The terrain of the street pavilion is complicated, and it is not impossible to ambush the army!"

"The decision I made, Guan Zhong didn't even know, how could they know!"

Ma Teng was worried, shook his head, and said: "Changxing, I always feel that something is wrong. If you want to talk about the Mu army, the main force should be on the Jincheng battlefield. How could they divide their troops into Hanyang at this time? The prefect of Hanyang is the direct descendant of the Grand Master's mansion. If the Mu army If you enter Hanyang, you must report it to the imperial court!"

"My lord, what do you mean, they are not from the herd army of the Jincheng battlefield?"

Li Kan frowned, his eyes flickered, and his mind began to turn: "If it wasn't for the Mujun on the Jincheng battlefield, then..."

He took a deep breath: "As far as I know, the Mu army has only two troops on the northern line. They are either the main force attacking Guanzhong or the main force on the Xiliang battlefield. If this is not from the direction of Jincheng, then It can only be the Mujun who came from Wudu Qishan!"

"No matter what, I must go back to Liangzhou!"

Ma Teng gritted his teeth and said coldly.

At this time, rushing back to Liangzhou was not only because Liangzhou was destroyed by the Mu army, he was anxious.

There is another reason.

Maybe it's an ambition.

The Xiliang Army is a collective, but it is also made up of individuals. Ma Teng, Han Sui, Guo Si, Li Que, etc., all have their own selfish motives.

Dong Zhuo was so powerful that they had nothing to do.

Can only obey.

Maybe it's different now.

Today's Dong Zhuo, although he is in charge of the center, is already the target of public criticism. It is still unknown whether the crusade by the princes of the world can survive this hurdle.

If want to do something.

This is the most suitable time.

Ma Teng wants Liangzhou.

With Liangzhou, no matter how Dong Zhuo fought in this battle, he already has an equal status with Dong Zhuo. He is in charge of a state, and he can be a prince, not just a pawn under Dong Zhuo.

"My lord, we need reinforcements at this time!" Li Kan thought for a while and said in a low voice.

"Where are reinforcements coming from?"

"Han Sui!"

"No, absolutely not. Han Sui's influence and status in Liangzhou are no lower than mine, even higher than mine. Moreover, he has a treacherous mind and cannot be a friend. Now he has managed to trap the main force of the Jincheng Army in After leaving Hanoi, he was stared at by Dong Zhuo in Hanoi, so he dared not make any changes. At this time, if I contact him to return to Liangzhou, Liangzhou will have nothing to do with me!"

"Then there's only one left!"

"Who!"

"Zhang Xiu?"

"Zhang Boluan?" Ma Teng squinted his eyes, and began to consider the feasibility carefully: "His uncle is still around, so it is a trouble, but he is a young boy, so it is not a problem, maybe he can really be regarded as an ally. Although the Beidi army has been defeated by the Mu army many times, it has also caused a great impact on the Mu army. As long as he sends troops and leads me back to Liangzhou, I will be able to stabilize the situation in a short time, and then... "
