The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Although taking this opportunity, the Ma family obtained four thousand oaks of grain from the other party, which was enough for thousands of them to not have to worry about the shortage of grain and grass in a short period of time.But Ma Teng's face didn't show the slightest bit of joy, just because he knew that in this way, it would be impossible for him to even refuse.It was precisely because of this level of consideration that Li Que and others did not flatly reject Ma Yue's somewhat unreasonable request.

"Since the problem of food has been solved, please ask General Ma to send troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that the Qiang army will attack soon, and we can't afford it." Li Que then reminded that he wanted to This matter was fully implemented.

"Wait a minute, I still have something to discuss with the generals." Seeing that this matter was unavoidable, Ma Teng suddenly thought of a way, because it was too late to discuss with Ma Yue, so he spoke first.

"Oh? I don't know what else General Ma wants? As long as we can do it, we will try our best to satisfy you." Hu Zhen said with a smile, but he focused on being able to do the three words, obviously he didn't want to promise them again asked for.

"It's like this. Although our Ma family horses are good at fighting, we are far inferior to the Qiang people in terms of military strength. If we don't have the support of the city, and we are fighting against the Qiang cavalry in the wild, I am afraid that this small force will be powerless. So what I mean is that I hope that you can come out with another group of people to be horns with our Ma family, so as to improve our chances of winning!" Ma Teng immediately expressed his thoughts.

The reason why he raised such a reason was to protect himself.In his mind, as long as there are troops from other generals fighting against the enemy with him, then if any dangerous situation is really encountered, the other Xiliang army will send troops in time for the sake of this army. It will be safe.Of course, it is unknown whether this proposal will be accepted by others.

All the generals were taken aback after hearing Ma Teng's proposal, and soon understood his intentions.This made them look at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to respond for a moment.Because Ma Teng's request is actually not too much. It is indeed very difficult to confront an enemy ten times stronger with only 7000 people. Perhaps the enemy can completely swallow [-] people with a forceful attack.So it is indeed a good choice to have a team of people on the side to support Austria.

After all, they sent troops this time to defeat the Qiang people, not to kill the Ma family.So at least on the bright side, it is difficult for them to come up with a reason for rejecting Ma Teng's conditions, which makes them all look a bit embarrassed.

And just like their embarrassed expressions, Ma Yue also had a worried expression at this time, as if he had thought of something.But in front of these people, it was not easy to remind his father, so he could only hope that those people would refuse this request.

But Li Ru's opening broke Ma Yue's thoughts, and he only heard him say: "General Ma's request is quite correct. We really shouldn't let him go all the way to deal with the enemy's army. In this way, General Zhao, You will lead your troops to form horns with General Ma's troops." He said and gave Zhao Yuan a look of trusting me.

Zhao Yuan was also a straightforward person, so he nodded at that time and said: "Okay, then let me and General Ma work together to fight against the enemy!" Then, if he stared at Ma Yue meaningfully, there was something hidden in his eyes A chilling deterrent.

The matter was settled in this way, and in front of so many generals, the Ma family had absolutely no possibility of going back on their word.But Ma Yue's expression became a little heavy, and he didn't say anything after that.Ma Teng also found out that his son was really worried. After leaving the military tent, he finally couldn't help but said, "Yue'er, why do you look so preoccupied? Even when you learned that they were going to plot against us, you never did that." Worrying, why now...?"

Ma Yue sighed: "If my father hadn't proposed to let all the people be our Olympic aid, maybe the child wouldn't be so worried. Unfortunately, you mentioned it, and they agreed, and our troubles will be even greater. "

"Ah? What did you say? It's not for our own safety to raise this condition for our father. With this team, let's not say that we can help us at a critical moment, but we are completely trapped. Jedi, it's impossible for those Xiliang troops to turn their backs on both groups of troops?"

"Father's consideration is good, but it only applies to those generals who are willing to stand up for us. But judging from the current situation, these old Dong Zhuo's men all want to get rid of us, so let them It would be counterproductive to help us all the way." Ma Yue shook his head and said, "Father, have you ever thought about it, in fact, we have 7000 troops to confront an enemy ten times stronger, and we seem to be completely passive, but in fact we still have our advantages , at least in terms of flexibility, they are far inferior to us, even if we are not Qiang opponents, it is not difficult to retreat.

"But once there is such a group of people on our side, the situation will be completely different. Moreover, we have no way of knowing what kind of thoughts they have there. Maybe at the critical moment, they will even plot against us behind our backs. So father, what you want is not a helper or a talisman, but a reminder."

"Ah..." After hearing this explanation, Ma Teng's complexion changed suddenly, and only then did he realize how big a mistake he had made, which was big enough to kill the entire army: "What should we do? Is there any room for redemption?"

"There is nothing I can do now, my boy. Moreover, from Li Ru's performance, he clearly thought of this, so even if my father goes to talk to Xiang now and says that he doesn't want this group of people, I'm afraid they won't agree. .So, we have more enemies right now." Ma Yue sighed again, feeling extremely heavy.

Ma Teng was silent for a while, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he could only sigh along with his son: "Hey, I didn't expect that they are still thinking about getting rid of us at this time, so we will attract their hatred like this?"

"There is no way to do this. Who said that my father's reputation in Xiliang has overshadowed them? If they want to re-establish their prestige in Xiliang, they must get rid of threats like you, father, even in front of you. When facing foreign enemies, they will not give up their established strategy because of this. To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle down inside!" Speaking of the last sentence, the image of the shiny bald head of the later generations flashed in Ma Yue's mind. This person is a typical one. The warlord calculated.

After Ma Teng and his two returned to the camp, they relayed the news to other generals, and everyone's reaction was the same as theirs, feeling very angry.Especially Ma Chao, said with a dark face: "These people are really too hateful. If the enemy is not present, I, Ma Chao, will definitely make them regret their decision!" Then he looked at Ma Yue again: "Second brother, right now! Is there no way to get out of the current predicament?" In his mind, his younger brother has always been very wise and can solve any difficulty.

But this time, Ma Yue just shook his head: "There is no other way. Originally, after we had a little contact with the enemy, we could rely on our flexibility to retreat far away, and then throw the enemy to the people in the city. But now , Once there are more people around, the situation will be different. Now, we can only take one step at a time and hope that there will be a turning point during the war."

From Ma Teng down, the faces of the generals became even more ugly after hearing Ma Yue's words. They knew that a battle that determined everyone's life and death was about to officially begin, and not only did they have to face the mighty ten The enemy is twice as powerful, and you must always be careful of threats from your side, which can be said to be extremely dangerous!

?????

At the same time, in Zhao Yuan's tent, Li Ru was also giving him tips: "This time you were sent out to join the Ma family to send troops, but the real responsibility is not to kill the enemy."

"I naturally understand this. After all, it is their Ma family who are going to face the Qiang people, and I clearly say that I want to cooperate with them as a helper. In fact, I can do many things." Zhao Yuan sneered.

"No, you can't take things too far. You can use the hands of the Qiang people to get rid of them. If it's not absolutely necessary, it's better not to bring yourself in." Li Ru cautioned: "I I know that you and Ma Yue have deep prejudices, but it is about the morale of the whole army, and the enemy is in front of you, you must not make any wrong decisions because of your hatred."

"Yes, the last general has made a note. As long as they don't back down, I won't be able to fight against them on the charge of murdering my comrades. But if they really dare not fight the enemy for self-protection and retreat instead, Then you can't blame me!" Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth.

Seeing his appearance, Li Ru also knew that it was useless to talk too much, so he bid farewell to him after handing over his hand.He has made it clear why Zhao Yuan hates Ma Yue more than others, because Ma Yue killed a person a few years ago - Li Bie!This Zhao Yuan is Li Bie's brother-in-law, and his wife was in tears all day long because her two elder brothers were killed by Ma Yue, so Zhao Yuan naturally hated Ma Yue deeply.

Of course, there are not many people who know the inside story of this point, and Li Ru only found out after many inquiries.At this time, he stood in front of Zhao Yuan's tent, looked at the direction Ma Teng was in and said to himself, "Zhongling, although I admire your talent, you are still under suspicion for the killing of the lord. So no matter what, I can't let you continue to gain a foothold in Xiliang, or I'm afraid our end will not be very good. This time, even if it is a conspiracy, I must let you and the power in your hands disappear completely. Only in this way can I be worthy of my lord's trust and trust in me for so many years!"

Early the next morning, Ma Teng's troops and Zhao Yuan's troops marched back and forth, heading north, where the Qiang people came!
