The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Ma Teng and Li Xiangru's remonstrance did not move Geng Bi. In his mind, since the Qiang people are powerful, the court should naturally focus on safety. Before the troops from other counties arrived, the troops in Longxi In any case, you can't take the initiative to attack without authorization.

And this delay lasted for more than a month, which made the situation in Liangzhou even more severe.Just after the time entered late autumn, the rebel army marched east again, and this time their target was not the surrounding small towns and counties, but went straight to Longxi County, the center of Liangzhou.

Even though a lot of horse thieves have been moved by people and started to harass the rebels in an organized way, in the face of absolute strength, this harassing team of less than a thousand people did not play a big role. Many people died as a result.In this way, when the rebel army marched into Longxi County, they had no worries at all.

After half a month of attack, in late October of the second year of Zhongping, the rebel army reached Jincheng County, an important town in Longxi.Jincheng is the Lanzhou of later generations. Its geographical location is very important. Guarding the west of Longxi County can be said to be the most important barrier in front of Longxian County. In order to prevent the enemy from invading, there are [-] troops stationed here, which is logically enough to defend for a period of time.

But the facts shocked everyone. On the third day after the rebel army besieged Jincheng, the Han army defending the city suddenly took a head, and then the city gate opened wide, and all the [-] defenders in the city surrendered.When they saw the defenders in the city coming out to surrender with their weapons held high, the leaders of the rebel army, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, were greatly surprised, and even suspected that this was a fraud by the officers and soldiers.

It was only after someone recognized that the leader who was thrown from the city was Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng, that they believed that the officers and soldiers had indeed left the city and surrendered.But a question still bothers them - why did the defenders kill the chief officer and surrender in Kaesong when they had a great chance to fight themselves?

This question was answered by a general in his 30s with a red face.This person's surname is Han and his name is Yue, and his character is Wenyue. He is a general in Jincheng County, and the reason why he did this is out of his own safety considerations.

Just a month ago, Han Yue had an affair with the prefect Chen Yi because of some trivial matters, and the two parties broke up unhappy.At that time, Han Yue didn't take this matter to heart, after all, he held the military power, even if Chen Yi was the prefect, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.But who knows, at this time the imperial court suddenly handed over the command of the army to Geng Bi, and Chen Yi, like Geng Bi, got his official position by flattering and flattering the eunuchs in the court, and the friendship between the two has always been good.

In this way, when Geng Bi took control of the military power, Chen Yi's boat would also rise, and even the military power was already in his hands.Han Yue didn't take this matter to heart at the time, he had long forgotten the quarrel between himself and Chen Yi some time ago.Unexpectedly, he forgot, but the other party did not. After the rebel army attacked the city, Chen Yi found an excuse to attack him.

Last night, when Han Yue, who commanded the defenders to resist the siege of the chaos all day, went down to rest exhausted, a team of officers suddenly came up and surrounded him.Han Yue immediately became angry: "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"

At this time, Chen Yi calmly walked out from the crowd, and said with a righteous face: "Your surname is Han, stop pretending, I have fully grasped the matter of your collusion with the rebel army outside the city, and you will be arrested without a fight!"

"What did you say?" Han Yue suddenly changed color, and then realized the problem: "You...you are framing me!"

"Framed? If that's not the case, why haven't you been able to kill the rebels after two days? I can see clearly that you're just delaying time, so as to give the rebels outside a chance to destroy the city!" Chen Yi Leng He said, and then ordered: "Come here, take Han Yue down for me, but if there is any resistance, shoot him to death!"

Those officers and soldiers were all Chen Yi's confidantes, they had listened to his orders, and rushed up fiercely before Han Yue could argue.At this time, Han Yue also knew that the other party was avenging his personal revenge, and he was going to kill himself with a little excuse. Naturally, he would not be caught without a fight, so he drew out his saber and fought with the officers and soldiers.

Although Han Yue's martial arts skills were not weak, after all he had worked hard all day, and with outnumbered enemies, he was knocked down after a while and fell into the hands of the people.Seeing that Han Yue was captured, Chen Yi even smiled triumphantly: "Han Yue, it seems that you really have a ghost in your heart, otherwise why would you resist to the death? Someone put him in the prison. After the enemy is retreated, the official Then I will report this matter to the imperial court, and it will not be too late to kill him!"

Just when Han Yue thought he was going to die, in the middle of the night that day, several soldiers ventured into the prison and rescued him.As the guard of Jincheng for many years, Han Yue still has a certain status in the army. Once he is able to escape, he immediately returns to the barracks, gathers his soldiers and horses, and then launches an attack on the prefect's mansion where Chen Yi is.

Chen Yi was completely defenseless, and Han Yue had no more capable fighters around him, so he soon fell into the opponent's hands.At this moment, he realized what a stupid thing he had done. He should have killed Han Yue before, otherwise the situation in front of him would not have happened.But because of Han Yue's prestige in the army, Chen Yi was worried that killing him would cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, so Chen Yi put him in custody temporarily, but Han Yue turned over.

"Han Yue, you... how are you doing? Don't forget, I am the prefect of Jincheng appointed by the imperial court. If you dare to touch me, you will be rebelling. The imperial court will definitely not let you go!" Although he was threatening, but Still showed his sternness.

Han Yue's expression was cold, and he was also weighing things up.This person in front of me had enmity with me several times, today he almost took his life, no matter what, he can't stay, otherwise, who knows if this person will suddenly turn the situation around?But if he was killed, how would he explain to the court?This put Han Yue in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, a general named Bian Yun reminded him: "Brother Han, we may not be able to defend Jincheng in the current situation. If we insist on defending, I am afraid we will die, why not..."

Although he didn't finish his words, Han Yue understood the meaning of his words - he wanted to open the city and surrender.This is indeed the most beneficial method for him. He is not afraid of being blamed by the court, but also can protect his own life. It can be said that he can kill two birds with one stone.

Over there, Chen Yi also figured out the key point, and his face immediately changed: "Brother Han, General Han, you...you must never do something that betrays the court. Don't forget, the reason why you Today, it's all about the imperial court..." He didn't speak, Han Yue's knife had already slashed Ke's neck, and the following words turned into a scream.

After slashing and killing Chen Yi with a knife, Han Yue's expression suddenly increased. He glanced at the officers and soldiers around him: "Everyone has seen that I, Han Yue, did this out of helplessness! Now that I have If there is no way out, we will turn the other way! If anyone wants to save their lives, they will surrender with me, and if they don’t want to surrender, I will never force them!”

All the soldiers were inclined towards the general Han Yue, and seeing Han Yue's murderous intent, they all said that they were willing to open the city and surrender.After dawn, [-] people in the whole city agreed to surrender to the rebellious army, and Han Yue and Bian Yun even found a suitable reason.

The reason why they surrendered to the rebellious army was that they were moved by the opponent's Qing emperor's side and the slogan of eliminating eunuchs, and believed that it was indeed time for rectification and change within the Han court.

Faced with such an unexpected joy, Beigong Boyu was naturally very happy, and immediately incorporated [-] officers into the team, and Han Yue, Bian Yun and others naturally became one of the leaders of the rebels.With the addition of these [-] defenders, the forces of the rebel army have further expanded, and they have also aimed their spearhead at Long County, the prefecture of Longxi, and are preparing to take down this Xiliang area, so as to completely gain control of Liangzhou power.

?????

At this time, the troops from other counties finally came to the vicinity of Long County in a hurry, and Geng Bi was ready to take the troops to meet the rebel army.I don't want to be a big army. Not long after, Jincheng fell, and the news of all the defenders' mutiny came. This immediately depressed the morale of the officers and soldiers, and the situation was very bad.

Brothers Ma Yue and Ma Chao are also in the army with their father this time. One of them can advise his father, and the other is brave and capable of fighting. They have become Ma Teng's indispensable helpers.When Ma Yue heard the bad news, he was too shocked to speak for a long time: "Father, now the strength of the rebel army is more than twice that of ours, and the morale of the enemy is high because they just took Jincheng. If we fight head-on, I'm afraid..."

"That's right, once the Golden City is lost, we have no advantage in terms of geographical advantage, and it will be even more difficult to defeat this rebel army. Besides, Geng Bi is not supported by the soldiers, and the army's morale is weak. How can we do it? But Geng Bi had already left the city. At that time, I made up my mind, this time the Undestroyed Rebel Army vowed not to return to the city, but what should I do?"

"Father, no matter what, we must persuade him to go back. Relying on the city defense of Long County and asking for help from the imperial court, we may still have a chance to win, otherwise we will end up in a crushing defeat!"

"But he won't listen to my words. If I insist again and again, I'm afraid it will make Geng Bi suspicious, and it will be even worse. Then Han Yue and I have always been on good terms, and this alone will be difficult for the court to explain in the future. What." Ma Teng smiled wryly again.

"What should I do?" Ma Yue also felt helpless, and could only hope that other officials could persuade Geng Bi.

But how could Geng Bi be persuaded so easily? Even Fu Xie, who had a good relationship with him, refused to listen to the persuasion. , took the initiative to attack, trying to defeat the chaos in one fell swoop.

With this order, the situation in Xiliang will no longer be controllable, and the defeat is set!
