The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() The fact that the Qiang people raised their troops on a large scale spread to the Xiliang army through various channels shortly after they raised their troops.It is naturally impossible for these scattered small tribes to keep this matter a secret, and they can't control the comings and goings of businessmen with whom they have business dealings, so in just a few days, more than a dozen Qiang tribes raised their troops one after another, totaling There are [-] Qiang people united together, spread out their battles and rushed towards the Han territory in Xiliang.

Although these Qiang tribes are far inferior to the former Xianling Qiang, Beigong Boyu and others in terms of strength, but this time, in order to survive, they have also become ruthless and have bet all the power of the clan on In this attack, it was completely a success-or-success posture.

After learning that the Qiang people had raised their troops in such a large scale, the generals of the Xiliang Army couldn't help but feel the pressure.Although they had a headache because of the Qiang people's uprising before, they didn't worry too much.After all, they have always had the upper hand in wars against the Qiang people over the years. Even when Ling Qiang played the banner of crusade against the eunuchs and gathered a hundred thousand troops from the Han and Qiang tribes, they could also fight against Dong Zhuo. He led the team to a decisive victory, and even completely beat Xian Lingqiang to the point where he couldn't stand up.

But this time, these generals did not have as much confidence as before.The reason is that their chief general, Dong Zhuo, is no longer around, and there are still various contradictions within them. In this state, even Li Ru is not too big to face the all-out Qiang army. sure.

And under such a heavy and apprehensive mood, they waited until Ma Teng led the army to arrive.Although he knew that there was bound to be some danger, Ma Teng took his two sons and [-] elites to the front line of the Han and Qiang confrontation - Guanwu County of Zhangye County.

At this time, this town only relies on contacts with foreigners to maintain a certain vitality, but in fact the sparsely populated county is already overcrowded at this time, and the soldiers outside the city are either Xiliang soldiers, or they are escorting food and grass for Xiliang soldiers. The civilian husband, people will have an inexplicable sense of tension when they see it, knowing that the war is about to break out.

The appearance of Ma Teng made the generals who were nervous because of the imminent battle couldn't help but have some other thoughts in their hearts.But the work on the surface still needs to be done. When the sergeant with the letter passed the news in, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Zhang Ji and other generals came out of the city one after another to meet the Ma family and his son.

"General Ma was able to come here without hesitation and danger to fight against the powerful enemy with us. It is really a blessing for our Xiliang Army. I also ask General Ma to accept the next gift." Niu Fu was the first to smile and salute.

"Brother Shoucheng, you are here. With your team here, we will be more confident in our battle to expel the Qiang people." Zhang Ji also smiled and said a few polite words afterwards.

Ma Teng didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he hurried forward to salute everyone, while Ma Chao and his brothers watched from behind, Ma Chao even snorted with a sneer, and said in a voice that only his two brothers could hear: "Really? You're hypocritical, you've already tried to put us to death several times, yet you can still pretend to be so affectionate."

Ma Yue also shook his head slightly, and then said: "This is the key to their becoming the hegemony of one party. Many people have achieved their status today by doing and saying things against their will. Although they have already It is really rare to see our Ma family as a thorn in our flesh, but we can still maintain our demeanor in front of other people. Let’s go, let’s meet them too, and let you see how emaciated they are.”

The two brothers walked up and met with some generals there.Ma Yue, as a colleague who used to work under Dong Zhuo's command, has a closer relationship with these generals. After meeting with them, he glanced at Li Que unintentionally: "General Li, today Have all the generals of my Xiliang army arrived in the city?"

"Of course, this is a crucial battle that will affect the safety of our Xiliang army. Who would dare not come." Li Que didn't know what Ma Yue meant by saying this, so he had to be careful.

"Oh, that would be great. In the past few expeditions, I have had some friendship with Zhu Da under the command of the general, but I don't know if he is here today?" When he said this, the corner of Ma Yue's mouth twitched like a smile He glanced at Li Que with a non-smile.

Hearing Ma Yue's words, the latter's expression suddenly darkened, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.It turned out that the Zhu Da mentioned by Ma Yue was the one who was removed by Ma Chao and the others in Linjiawu that day.Although both parties knew everything about Zhu Da, they both acted as if they were completely unaware of such a thing.For such things, the two sides usually have a tacit understanding, but Ma Yue suddenly asked such a sentence, isn't this a slap in the face of Li Que?

But under such circumstances, Li Que couldn't get angry because of this matter, so he had to keep his face dark for a while before he said in a muffled voice: "Young Master Ma is disappointed. In the previous small-scale battle, Zhu Da led The army encountered the Qiang people, and he died in the hands of the enemy in the first battle, which is really a pity."

"I see. It's a pity. Otherwise, I would have something to say to them. It's a pity that he lost his life because of a momentary carelessness. So sometimes people should think twice before doing things." Okay, otherwise I'm afraid it will bring unnecessary disasters to myself." After sighing, Ma Yue ignored the increasingly ugly Li Que, and entered Guanwu County with his father.

Because the county town is already full of people from all walks of life, the people from the Ma family did not enter the city with Ma Teng and the others, but they are not afraid of being counted by other Xiliang army generals at this time. Under the eyes of the army, if something happened to the generals, the battle against the Qiang people would be a complete failure.

Although he didn't have to worry about other generals taking the opportunity to deal with him, Ma Teng frowned worriedly after hearing what his two sons had just said about the conversation with Li Que: "It's really a bit Meng Lang for you to do this. Although they plotted against us several times, and this time when the enemy was in front of them, they didn't dare to do anything to us, but they offended Li Que so much, and when we came to the battlefield in the future, we would have one less friend."

"Father, do you still have any illusions about these people today? They will definitely count us in the battle with the Qiang people this time, so why should we think about making friends with them?" Ma Yue But he didn't agree with his father's opinion, and immediately said: "Besides, we should also show our attitude and let them know that we are not easy to bully. If they dare to plot against us, we will use the same method to make them try it." Try it out. Only in this way can we guarantee our own safety."

"Second brother is right, father, no matter how much we back down, it's impossible to make them stop thinking about dealing with us, so it's better to tell them to retreat in spite of difficulties. Even if we just express our anger, it's impossible to make them stop Back off, but at least we won't be weaker than them!"

Seeing the two sons saying these words one by one, Ma Teng could only smile wryly again: "Forget it, things have come to this point, there is no need to be polite to them anymore. But there is one thing that needs to be explained clearly as a father. , When we are on the battlefield, we, as sons of the Han family, must not do things that will hurt our relatives and make our enemies happy."

"Father, don't worry, we are definitely not that kind of people!" The two Ma brothers agreed in unison.

As Ma Yue judged, even though Li Que and the others were very unhappy with the Ma family's reaction, at this juncture, in front of all Xiliang soldiers, they dare not do anything.Therefore, all preparations for the Xiliang army are proceeding in an orderly manner. When the spies in front continue to bring news that the Qiang people have gathered a large number of people and marched towards Zhangye, whether it is the deployment of soldiers and horses or food and grass All the preparations are complete, and the next step is to wait for the arrival of the Qiang people, and fight with them here!

?????

Just when the Han and Qiang forces were about to launch a new round of battle, a force that had been ignored by them for a long time also began to move around.This team was almost wiped out by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and then he took refuge in him, but they did not belong to him, and only provided some food, grass and armaments, and they were living outside Han Yue's troops.

In the past few years, the life of Han Yue's 2-strong mixed team of Han and Qiang has become more and more difficult.And after Dong Zhuo had an accident in Chang'an, they really didn't even have the last bit of support.After consuming the last bit of food left, Han Yue also called together his generals to discuss the way out for himself and others.

For them, it is difficult to find a reliable backer right now.It is impossible for the Qiang people to believe those rebels who had betrayed Beigong Boyu, and the Han people, because they had invaded the land of Sanfu, were also regarded as rebellious officials and thieves.As for Dong Zhuo, it seemed that those generals didn't have much interest in this large army, which made them suddenly homeless and had nowhere to go.

"Now the Han and Qiang are about to fight again, maybe it's a good opportunity for us." Han Yue held a bowl of porridge that was so thin that it could be seen in his hand and sipped it, and said after a while: "As long as we can help anyone If a team wins, maybe they can gain a foothold in Xiliang. Which side do you think we should help?" Han Yue still has [-] troops here, which is indeed enough to change the trend of this battle.

"Anyway, we won't believe those Xiliang troops anymore. If we hadn't believed them back then, how could we have fallen to where we are today." Some generals immediately expressed their emotions, and others echoed them. He was used by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, but he didn't get the benefits he deserved.

But the Qiang people obviously couldn't get through, at this moment Yang Qiu said suddenly: "In fact, we still have a way to go, but I don't know if the other party has such an idea."
