The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Under the same night sky, hundreds of miles away from Luoyang, but close to the official road of Chang'an City.

Continuous military tents filled the inside and outside of the official road, and this is where the Xiliang army camped after nightfall.Because of the hard work all day long, by this time, all the soldiers in the camp had fallen asleep peacefully. Except for some sporadic night watchmen, no one moved around in the whole camp, which seemed extraordinarily quiet.

At this time, the curtain of a small tent near the main tent of the Chinese army was suddenly lifted, and a figure emerged from it. The moonlight shone on the face of the man. He was Ma Yue and Ma Zhongling.

Looking at the curved moon hanging high in the sky, a smile flashed across Ma Yue's mouth.As if feeling something, Ma Yue turned his gaze to the east, towards the direction of Luoyang City.He seemed to be able to see the scene where Luoyang City was now a sea of ​​flames through a distance of hundreds of miles.

"What's on Zhong Ling's mind? It's so late to watch the sky at night." A gentle voice sounded from behind Ma Yue, and Jia Xu, who lived in the same tent as him, followed after being alarmed.

For ordinary people, when two people have any collusion, they will deliberately keep a distance from each other, so as not to be suspected.But Ma Yue and Ma Yue are not ordinary people, but careful minded people, so the relationship between the two of them seems to be very close, even during the march, they always get together.Being so generous, it shows that the relationship between the two of them is very shallow, but they did not arouse anyone's suspicion. This is exactly their brilliance.

When Ma Yue heard Jia Xu's question, he just smiled: "It's nothing, I just think that something big will happen in Luoyang, and I can't sleep for a while, so I come out for a walk."

"You mean the matter in Luoyang will be resolved today?" Jia Xu naturally knew about Lu Bu and others setting a trap in Luoyang.After being taken aback for a moment, he smiled and said: "This is indeed a moment worth celebrating. Presumably this fire is enough to cause heavy losses to the Kwantung Allied Forces, and it is also taking revenge for the burning of General Hua at that time."

"That's right, the only pity is that we couldn't see the scene of Luoyang City burning into the sky. We can only imagine it."

"However, I still don't understand. Judging from the time, the Kwantung Army should have just entered Luoyang City. Are you so sure that Lu Bu and the others can attack immediately after the Kwantung Army enters the city?" Jia Xu asked doubtfully. .

"Of course. Because this is the best moment. If it is later, when the Kwantung Allied Forces have taken root in Luoyang, it will be too difficult for them to fight and then retreat. So if you want to succeed, To kill them by surprise, you must choose when they first entered the city, so that you can succeed in one fell swoop." Ma Yue nodded and said: "It's just that although this fire can impress them deeply, it will also greatly dampen their spirit, but After all, the Kwantung Allied Forces cannot be hit hard."

"That's for sure. The traps you let people set are limited to those mansions, and it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to live in them, so more of the people who were burned should be the personal guards of the generals. But this is enough for them My heart hurts for a while. By the way, I have always wanted to ask you something..." At this point, Jia Xu lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear him: "Since you have other plans , then why did you make such a plan for Dong Zhuo this time? Isn't this helping him?"

"This is helping him, but it is also helping myself." Ma Yue clenched his fist and said, "The chess pieces I laid out will be effective one by one soon, but it will take a while to complete the matter completely. If the Kwantung coalition forces suddenly send troops before this, my calculations will be completely disrupted. In order for them to calm down for a period of time, I must teach them a profound lesson, so that they will be afraid and dare not come west .”

"That's it. Then I don't understand a little bit. Since you have such a purpose, why don't you do it more simply? I also understand the fire oil and other things you buried everywhere, and these are not enough Take the lives of the generals of the various armies. If you can use more energy, maybe you can use this fire to completely burn those people to death in Luoyang, wouldn't it be better?"

"If these people are really buried in this fire, it will not be me who will benefit the most in the end, but Dong Zhuo. At that time, thinking about it... will be very difficult. Even if some people are eliminated, it will not be me I hope to see it. If my plan is successful, it will take a long time to completely control the land of Xiliang, and at this time, I hope to see disputes in the land of the Central Plains The more these local warlords with their own ambitions, the greater the war in the Central Plains, and this will give us enough time to develop and strengthen our own strength. So I actually don’t want to hurt any of these people.” Ma Yue Gently expressing his fundamental purpose, a certain fanatical light flickered faintly in his eyes.

It has been three or four years since he came to this troubled world, and Ma Yue has begun to change.In the past, he was only thinking about how to eliminate the coming war disaster and let the people live a peaceful life.But with the understanding of the current general trend of the world, Ma Yue found that some things cannot be changed casually, and if he wants to achieve the goal of peace in the world, he must break things first.

Judging from the history he knows, nothing has hurt the Han people more seriously than the original history.Then, he simply let go of his hands and feet to do a big job, knock down all possible enemies, and let him recreate a different era more and more.Perhaps that will be the beginning of the entire Chinese nation standing on top of the world again.

Of course, Jia Xu couldn't understand what Ma Yue was thinking, but he could also understand the reason and purpose of his decision.After he was stunned, he sighed, "I never expected that you would take both the enemy and us into account. However, you are so sure that after the matter is completed, you can control the Xiliang Army in your own hands?"

"I'm more than five points sure that I can do it." Ma Yue smiled, and immediately saw Jia Xu's disbelief.Then he said: "Let's go, let's take a walk in this camp, anyway, we won't be able to sleep, so it's better to walk."

"Let's go?" Jia Xu was taken aback, not understanding why Ma Yue made this request, but he didn't ask any more questions, but nodded in response, and walked side by side with Ma Yue into the winding path between the tents .

Because he was afraid that the pursuers of the Guandong coalition army would come from behind, and he was afraid of any disturbances in the army at night, so there would always be more than a hundred night watchmen left in the Xiliang army camp.They followed the established route mechanically back and forth for a long distance, looking a little dazed.

Indeed, things like night watch are the most tiresome, not only because of the time, but also because the surroundings are too quiet, and people can't help but want to fall asleep.When Ma Yue and Ma Yue came to such a team of more than ten people, their state was like this.

However, when they saw these two people suddenly approaching the camp, they still shook their spirits, raised the spears in their hands together, and shouted: "Who is it... so it's Mr. Ma." After seeing clearly It was Ma Yuehou who came, and their originally tense expressions and movements relaxed, and the spears in their hands fell back to the ground, and they all crossed their hands to salute Ma Yue.

Seeing this, Jia Xu's heart was moved: "I never imagined that Ma Zhongling would be so close and loved by the soldiers in the army." You must know that on such a night, it is ordinary generals who meet these night watch soldiers, and the latter They will also look at each other with suspicion, but these people only want to be close to Ma Yue when they see Ma Yue, and have no intention of questioning him at all, which is very interesting.

At this time, Ma Yue also bowed his hands and returned a salute: "You generals have worked hard. Captain Cao, are you on duty today? I remember two days ago, you were on duty at night, why today? But you worked hard?"

"Hey, don't mention it. It's not that Lao Zhou suddenly pulled Xie and begged us to stay with him tonight. After all, he is a friend from the same country, so we asked for it before us, so we had to agree to this hard work. But the son Do you want to go around?" Captain Cao replied with a wry smile, from his tone of complaining about his colleagues, Jia Xu could tell that his relationship with Ma Yue was still very unusual.

Ma Yue nodded and said: "It's really hard for Captain Cao. The other brothers are also working hard. You should be more awake so that we can all be safe. I can't sleep at night. The scenery here is beautiful, so Let’s walk around with Brother Jia at will, so I won’t disturb your night watch.”

After they left, Jia Xu said thoughtfully, "You can even name such a small lieutenant accurately?"

"It's not just him, many low-ranking officers in the army have a close relationship with me." Ma Yue smiled lightly.During the two years he spent in the Xiliang Army, apart from reading books and practicing martial arts, Ma Yue spent more time dealing with these low-level soldiers.As Dong Zhuo's confidant and counselor, he was willing to hand over every detail, and these low-level soldiers were naturally flattered. After two years, Ma Yue has already won the respect of many such people.

As if to confirm Ma Yue's words, they traveled all the way and met with other five or six teams one after another. These people also respected Ma Yue very much.Jia Xu could tell that the respect of these people was sincere, not just because of Ma Yue's status.From this point of view, Ma Yue's reputation at the bottom of the army is extremely strong.

"I see. No wonder you are so sure that once things are done, you will be able to completely control the Xiliang Army, but it is because you have already taken all the soldiers under your command." Jia Xu couldn't help sighing, thinking more about Ma The deepness gave birth to the heart of admiration again.

"Everyone says that a thousand soldiers are easy to get but a general is hard to find. Although this is true, it is for those who have already mastered a large army. For me, although it is difficult to find a famous general, it is not a problem. Only a thousand soldiers can It is the key. So I value the soldiers below more, as long as they are under control, why worry about the army not being used by me?" Ma Yue's words were not without complacency.
