Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 439 A Tale of Heroes: From the Concubine of Yongliang to the General of Han Dynasty
ended.

This massive battle ended like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

When the morale of an army drops to a certain point, it will shatter and disintegrate. This is true for Wei cavalry, and the same is true for tiger and leopard cavalry.

And from the moment they began to collapse and flee, this battle was destined to end.

In less than half an hour, only Wei Qi was left lying on the ground in this valley, and the rest...over the mountains, jumped over the river, fled into the woods and grasslands, they used all means to escape from here, from this killing field full of Shura .

Of course, the scattered fleeing of the Wei army also made it more difficult for the Shu army and Di soldiers to pursue...

In less than an hour, all the voices of Wei Jun disappeared, leaving only the corpses in that place, more than ten thousand people.

If you count carefully, there are more than 1 people?This number... is probably more than [-].

In fact, most of these Wei cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry did not die at the hands of the enemy, but collided with each other and trampled on each other.

There is no doubt that morale collapsed and the army was defeated...

The losses will be greater.

...

The dense black shadows on the mountains, the people of Naba, Shu, Yong, Pu, Wei, Jian, and Liao, they saw that the Wei army was killed and retreated, and they left.

Not everyone wants to join the military, and not everyone wants to be famous.

More people, no matter which nationality, want to live an ordinary and peaceful life. Even in troubled times, at least... leave them a way to survive!

They didn't even say hello to the Shu army, they were just doing what they were supposed to do.

...

The drum array under the canopy was already dilapidated, and the golden armor that was thrown to death with a spear, besides the corpses and swords all over the ground, Ma Chao was the only one standing there.

He opened the cheek of the fallen golden armor...

He said softly: "Sure enough, it's fake——"

In front of and behind him, there are corpses all over the place, at least several thousand people.

He turned around and walked towards the back step by step. He saw a handful of familiar Di people's unique weapons and pieces of familiar Di people's costumes.

Among the corpses on the ground, the number of Di people who collapsed on the ground was also shocking.

The tiger-headed golden gun in Ma Chao's hand fell to the ground, and he knelt down on one knee slowly, with a tired and miserable expression on his face.

These Di people came because of him and died because of him.

Looking around, the living Di people were all looking at Ma Chao, the team of 5000 people, as far as Ma Chao could see... there were less than a thousand left.

Ma Chao has never... This battle can be fought so fiercely.

He has never been as sad as today.

He even felt dark in front of his eyes, but fortunately Yang Wanwan beside him supported him.

Ma Chao's face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood. Looking at most of the wounded soldiers, he pushed away the people who were supporting him, and walked back to the direction of the mountain road with his body stunned.

"Meng Qi..."

Yang Wanwan followed Ma Chao all the time.

Ma Chao's face was expressionless, and he walked along the mountain road, and there were dozens of soldiers wearing Diren army armor lying on the ground not far from the corpses.

Ma Chao's heart throbbed.

They are strangers to each other——

But their mutual trust and affection seem to be closer than Ma Chao's father Ma Teng, younger brothers Ma Xiu, Ma Tie...!

But it was them who paved the way for Ma Chao's achievements and glory with their own blood and their own fresh lives.

It exactly reflects that sentence-one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up!

"Boom-"

Feeling the bloody smell in the air, Ma Chao seemed to lose his strength. He fell down quickly and passed out.

"Big brother..."

When Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai arrived, their eyes were red, they were affectionate and anxious, and they shouted in unison.

"Quick, save my brother!"

Ma Yunlu hugged Ma Chao in his arms, looking at Ma Chao's appearance, Ma Yunlu couldn't help but gasped, his whole body was covered in blood, from head to sole of feet.

This appearance is really like returning from hell——

Zhang Fei also came over, and when he saw Ma Chao's appearance, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and sighed.

"How can such a person be unfaithful? How can he be unrighteous? How can he be untrustworthy?"

Together with the Shu army brought behind Zhang Fei, they looked at the unconscious Ma Chao with admiration in their eyes.

"Come here, quickly bring General Ma back to Xiabian City and treat him immediately!"

After sighing, Zhang Fei shouted anxiously.

When Ma Chao, who was unconscious, was taken down by the soldiers...

Wu Lan just reported in a low voice, "The person wearing the golden armor under the canopy is not Cao Xiu, and Cao Xiu was not found during the entire search—"

This…

Not killing Cao Xiu somewhat made this battle a bit of a fly in the ointment.

But soon, "Hehe..." Zhang Fei sneered, and he looked around the battlefield, looking at the corpses everywhere.

He lamented: "In this battle, Cao's army lost [-] riders, right?"

He blurted out, and he paused for a rare moment. He has never been a mother-in-law, but this time, his tone stumbled, "Facing six times the number of enemy cavalry, and meeting on a narrow road, such a record is already proud enough. Don't worry, send a letter to my elder brother as soon as possible, telling him about the bravery and loyalty of 'Horse'!"

This time, it was Zhang Fei who also admired Ma Chao!
...

...

When Ma Chao woke up, it was already noon on the second day.

He found that he was in an elegant house, sleeping on a particularly comfortable wooden bed, and the quilt on his body still had a refreshing fragrance.

Ma Chao blinked, a little confused.

After getting up, I saw that it was not only him, but also his own sister Ma Yunlu in the room.

This year, Ma Yunlu is only 20 years old. She is the youngest of all Ma Teng's children, and she is in her best years. She has a straightforward personality, gentle and generous, good body, and beautiful appearance, especially her sword eyebrows, which can be seen from a distance. ...heroic.

"Brother? Are you awake?"

Seeing Ma Chao get up, Ma Yunlu hurried over and looked at him worriedly.

Ma Chao wanted to get off the ground subconsciously, but he noticed the layers of thick bandages on his body, which restrained his movements and prevented him from moving at will.

In addition, there was a constant severe pain in the armpit, and Ma Chao gritted his teeth in pain. This is a rare feeling for Ma Chao. He didn't feel it on the battlefield. Now that he relaxes, he will really pass out from the pain.

"Where is this place?"

Ma Chao asked this question first, and then he seemed to find the answer immediately, and answered himself: "This must be Xiabian City? Then...did Cao Xiu really catch it?"

"No..." Ma Yunlu told the truth about the battle situation, "Yesterday, my brother was very powerful and our army won a complete victory. There were more than [-] dead bodies of Wei soldiers on the small mountain road, and even more than [-] dead horses. Only... It was a fly in the ointment, I couldn't catch Cao Xiu, but my brother chopped off his right arm, he is almost a useless person."

"What a pity..." Ma Chao murmured, somewhat regretfully.

But Ma Yunlu smiled and said: "Brother, don't be too concerned, [-] breaks [-], and kills [-] enemies... This is already a miracle!"

"What about the food?" Ma Chao asked, "There are so many people in Biancheng now? What about the food?"

Ma Yunlu continued to explain, "Just now I told my elder brother that in addition to killing 1 enemies, more than [-] horses died on the mountain road in this battle. Although the horse meat is not delicious, it can be dried into meat. It can also satisfy your hunger..."

Oh…

Hearing Ma Yunlu's words, Ma Chao nodded, these dead horses relieved their urgent needs.

Ma Yunlu's words continued, "Besides, because of my brother, we captured Cao Hong, Wang Yi, and Zhao Ang... tens of thousands of grains were also found from Cao Hong's residence, and countless gold, silver and jewelry were also found. Even...the food that the Wei army forcibly confiscated the Di people has not yet been shipped to Hanzhong...At present, it seems that the food is sufficient."

Hearing this, Ma Chao suddenly thought of something.

"The food collected by force needs to be returned to the Di people..."

It seemed that after this battle, Ma Chao was closely connected with the brave hearts of these Di soldiers, and would think what they thought.

And following what Ma Chao said...

"Hahahahaha..."

There was a hearty laugh, and Zhang Fei walked quickly from outside the door.

It turned out that Ma Chao woke up, and Ma Dai, who had been guarding the door, hurriedly told Zhang Fei...

Zhang Fei was still interrogating Cao Hong, so he left him and rushed over without stopping.

Compared with Ma Chao, who is covered in bandages, Zhang Fei is like a majestic grizzly bear. He is shirtless and seems to be quite excited. His six-pack abs are bulging and his biceps are already strong without any special effort. As tight as a drum.

"Meng Qi, Meng Qi, you are so fierce, five times, ten times stronger than Zhang Yide—"

While talking, because of excitement, Zhang Fei clenched his fist and lightly hammered Ma Chao's shoulder bones. "Don't worry, in the name of you, the 'Shenweitian General', I have returned all the food that went against Wei's strong conquest to the Di people, not only the Di people, but also those from Ba, Shu, Yong, Pu, Wei, Xiao, and Liao... now Now, they all sing the praises of your name, General Shenweitian!"

As Zhang Fei said.

People in troubled times don't have so many dreams, and never thought about changing the world.

The only thing they hope for is a morsel of food, not to starve, to avoid being precarious, sleeping in the open and wind, not being able to wear clothes when they are cold, and not being able to eat when they are hungry.

just.

What Zhang Fei said was right, what was wrong was his punch on Ma Chao's shoulder bone.

This punch was very light, and it definitely only used a fraction of Zhang Fei's strength.

Can…

"pat-"

The shoulders are connected to the armpits, and Ma Chao's shoulder bones are like his heart, almost shattered...

He was suddenly unprepared and groaned. Suddenly he felt his blood surge and his throat felt sweet.

Immediately, his heart exploded.

——"Zhang Fei, your grandmother has a leg, is my bone broken? 』

Thinking so in his heart, Ma Chao still relied on his usual strong body to barely support him, but his face was as white as paper, and he wanted to roar to vent the severe pain from his shoulders.

Seeing Ma Chao's face pale.

Zhang Fei asked with concern: "What? Why does Meng Qi look so bad? Shouldn't I use your name to distribute the forcibly confiscated grain and grass?"

--"grain!you!sister! 』

Ma Chao thought so in his heart, but said, "I! Nothing! Nothing!"

He breathes evenly...

Zhang Fei was happy, and scratched his head, "It's fine if you have nothing to do, you take care of your wounds, don't worry about food, we have enough here, as for... Hanzhong's counterattack? Hahaha, with this great victory, let him have ten courage I dare not step out of that Yangping Pass!"

"..."

Ma Chao's shoulders still hurt, and his armpits hurt even more. He wasn't sure if he was bleeding again.

Fortunately, he has amazing physique, otherwise...it was Zhang Fei's punch just now, he was really going to be taken away, and if he was taken away, would it be ironic?He didn't die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of friendly troops. What's more, it wasn't a backstab, it was an upright, flawless blow!
Lei Tong followed Zhang Fei, and when he saw Ma Chao, he was smiling, but there was sympathy behind the smile.

As Zhang Fei's lieutenant, he is still very trusting and very close. In addition to him, there is Wu Lan in the camp. Of course, the two of them need medicine and treatment from the doctors in the camp every now and then. Sexually bruised all over.

Zhang Fei's words continued, "Let me just say, how could there be a lie in what was written in "God of War"? That boy Yunqi said you were Ma Chao...whether..."

Speaking of Guan Lin, Zhang Fei's words came to an abrupt end, "We'll wait until you recover from your injuries. I've already sent the report of this battle to my elder brother. You Ma Mengqi is the first one, just wait for the reward from your elder brother!"

what…

Ma Chao was just curious, wasn't "The God of War" a military book comparable to "Tai Gong's Art of War"?
How could Ma Chao be written in it?
And...Yunqi?Shiro Seki?

What did he mention about himself?
Just as these questions came to mind, Ma Chao was distracted by what Zhang Fei said later.

Head work?

Is it a reward?

Ma Chao paused, raised his head to look at Zhang Fei, and said earnestly and meaningfully, "Yide? Do you think the lord will trust me? Will you use me, Ma Chao?"

This…

Zhang Fei was shocked when Ma Chao asked.

What did you have to go through?
How much have you been through?How can you be so unconfident?

Zhang Fei subconsciously waved his palm again, and then slapped Ma Chao on the shoulder violently. He growled and opened his mouth: "Brother, how can I use Zhang Fei, then how can I use you Ma Mengqi? How many soldiers do I have under Zhang Fei? How many troops can you command! Unless my eldest brother and Kong Ming are blind, you, Ma Mengqi, will be reused——"

Zhang Fei's words like a declaration made Ma Chao's heart throb.

He suddenly discovered that Zhang Fei's fist... didn't seem to hurt that much anymore, because he saw hope... he can still bear it with his bones!
...

...

In Jiangzhou, Zhuge Liang rushed here in a hurry.

He was originally in Dujiangyan before, and he was conducting on-the-spot investigations, looking for ways to increase grain production, so as to accumulate sufficient grain and grass for the future... Hanzhong battle that will definitely come.

Zhuge Liang even expected that the Battle of Hanzhong would be a protracted battle, considering that the Wei army could pass through Qishan and continuously transport troops from Xiabian City to support Hanzhong.

Then.

The game in Hanzhong is not only compared to the formation of the two sides, but also the logistical support and transportation capabilities.

Food and grass are crucial.

Originally, the problem of increasing grain and grass production in Dujiangyan was difficult enough.

But who would have thought that Liu Bei put forward a new request, the situation in Xiabian City is in dire straits, the two generals are in Xiabian, they are still alive and dead, Liu Bei is going to march.

So Zhuge Liang rushed to Jiangzhou to raise food nearby.

Jiang Wan also rushed here in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the government office where Zhuge Liang worked temporarily.

"how?"

Seeing Jiang Wan, Zhuge Liang asked hurriedly.

Jiang Wan replied truthfully: "According to the command of the military adviser, all the grain depots have been investigated. Except for Nanzhong, almost all the grain depots have no grain in them... Nanzhong is also the land of the Nanman tribe. Whether it is the Commerce Department or the stall It is difficult to collect food from there, and those barbarian kings are quite resistant."

"Nanzhong?" Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and gently stroked his forehead, "Although Nanzhong is nominally surrendered to the lord, in fact, they have not paid tribute on a monthly basis. How to adjust grains from there...don't think about it for now. Now, let’s talk about which of the existing cities can squeeze out some food and grass!”

Zhuge Liang almost broke his heart for Liu Bei's army's northern expedition.

He is not a clever woman, but he is really doing "cooking without rice"...

this…

Jiang Wan also knew that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, so he frowned and his expression was quite dignified.

It was Ma Su who was beside Zhuge Liang who suggested.

"Actually, there is really some food and grass..."

Zhuge Liang suddenly turned his head, and Jiang Wan also looked at Ma Di.

Ma Su explained, "The Commerce Department has jurisdiction over merchants throughout Bashu. If they sell grain and grass, they need to be transferred in the granary. For this reason, our granary actually contains a batch of grain from the Commerce Department. These are Merchant's food can be used for emergencies...but..."

Ma Di's words came to a critical point, and suddenly stopped abruptly. He didn't dare to say the consequences of doing so.

In fact, doing so has serious consequences.

You must know that, strictly speaking, the Department of Commerce suppressed this batch of grain for routine inspection. The grain was from merchants, and the Department of Commerce was not qualified to dispatch it at will.

Once the merchants can't receive the food, the reputation of the Commerce Department will drop overnight, and even... no merchants are willing to join the Commerce Department and support the Commerce Department.

This is one hair that moves the whole body!

Zhuge Liang didn't know the seriousness of the problem, he closed his eyes, "Xiabian City, if it can be captured, it will be very important for the northern attack on Hanzhong, but now... the two generals are deeply involved, and they are still alive and dead. It can be seen that this I also heard that Cao Xiu led [-] fine cavalry to Xiabian City to rush to Xiabian City to help them. The Lord must also provide immediate support, otherwise Yide and Meng Qi will be in danger."

Zhuge Liang said such a lot of words, but he gritted his teeth and opened his mouth bitterly: "But, the food provided by the Commerce Department is not ours, but belongs to the merchants... It was not easy because the 'Commerce Department' proposed by Yun Qi restrained the merchants and stabilized prices. , how difficult is it for this situation to come about? Now, because of this battle, are we going to bring everything back to the starting point? "

Listening to Zhuge Liang's sighs.

Ma Di said: "Compared with merchants, there is no doubt...Xiabian City is more important, the tens of thousands of Shu troops are more important, and the two generals are more important!"

Jiang Wan didn't speak, he could understand Zhuge Liang's mood, but at this time, he had to make a choice.

Since ancient times, you can't have both fish and bear's paw.

"Yeah..." Zhuge Liang felt a little emotional: "Yide and Meng Qi are still too impatient, plotting Hanzhong as a step by step, but the Sanba battlefield went too smoothly, because Yunqi's "God of War", which almost will The one-year battlefield has been condensed into one month, which also gave Yide and Meng Qi too much confidence!"

For a moment, Zhuge Liang was also confused. Suddenly he didn't know whether this vigorous and resolute capture of Sanba, and then non-stop marching north to capture Bencheng... was all this...right or wrong?
Is it too urgent?

As far as he is concerned, since the poll tax has been abolished in the governance of central Sichuan, and the sharing of land into the mu has been implemented, it should be people-oriented... But the current situation is digging the roots of governance in Sichuan!

"I can't make a decision, this matter...I'd better ask the lord, let him decide!"

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, "The food stored by the Commerce Department is in Jiangzhou. Now, let's go to Zitong together, meet the lord, and report the matter to him personally. Whether we want fish or bear's paws...Only the lord can choose."

talking...

Zhuge Liang turned around and walked outside the door.

at this time.

"Report-"

A messenger quickly broke into the room and delivered a book.

"This is?"

Zhuge Liang was curious, at this time... who would send a book?
But I heard the messenger say: "This is the "Heroes" compiled by the Grand Administrator of Xiangyang Pass and Wang Can, a famous Jian'an scholar... It is said that the biographies of the two have been completed, and Zhuge Military Advisor has been asked to review it."

——Heroes?

Biography of the two?
Zhuge Liang was slightly taken aback, he quickly took the book, held it in his hand, and suddenly... the words "Heroes" were written on the front of the book.

Zhuge Liang turned to the first page, and suddenly... a name appeared in front of his eyes.

Yes - Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi!
And the chapters belonging to him have a striking title:

——"A Tale of Heroes: From Ma Er, the Bastard of Yongliang, to General Han Shenwei"

In the next column of this topic, a line of small characters in seal script stands before my eyes.

Unfaithful?Unfilial?Unrighteous?

No, it's just Xiliang Ma'er messing up!

General Shenweitian has always valued love and righteousness.

He is always trustworthy—

...

...

　That’s it for today, readers, don’t wait any longer.

　　Inexplicably, my head felt like it was about to split open.

　　Is this heatstroke?
