The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() After dispatching troops from Guanwu County, Ma Teng's subordinates were all very careful. They were not doing this to guard against the sudden attack of the Qiang army, but to guard against Zhao Yuan's tribe not far away from them.Although everyone belongs to the same camp on the surface, but behind the scenes, no one can guarantee whether they will do anything out of the ordinary.

Because of this thought, when the army is moving forward, Ma Chao, who is in front of him, can't stop looking at the people who are several miles away from him, his eyes are full of precaution and vigilance, and there is even a little bit of fear. very hostile.

"Brother, don't keep looking at them like this, anyway, they can't see our looks." Ma Yue also rode a horse and followed beside his brother, and smiled when he saw this: "I think at least Before we met the Qiang people and a war broke out, they couldn't really do anything to us."

"Although your speculation is reasonable, it is necessary to be defensive. This Zhao Yuan has been targeting you and our Ma family for a long time. They obviously have bad intentions when they send such a person to join us in sending troops. "Ma Chao said unhappily.

"Yes, they did this not only to prevent us from retreating before the battle, but also to give us a head-on blow at a critical moment. Actually, when I learned that they wanted to send us to deal with the Qiang people, I thought it was just to be a It looks like a battle with the enemy, but it is inevitable now." With a wry smile on his lips, Ma Yue glanced at his father not far away.

"Second brother, haven't you come up with a proper solution in the past few days?" Ma Chao still had some expectations for his brother's strategy: "If this continues, we will soon collide with the Qiang people." .”

"To be honest, we don't have any clue yet. But the only thing we can hope for is that the Qiang people will also disperse their troops, so that we won't suffer too much in terms of strength. Also, when the two armies are fighting, apart from their own In addition to our strength, some emergencies are also extremely critical, and perhaps when the time comes, God may help us."

Ma Yue's words actually showed that he did not have much confidence in this battle in his heart, and everything could only be pinned on accidental factors.After hearing this, Ma Chao's face became even more ugly. If he was not worried about affecting the overall situation, he might have launched an attack on the people beside him.

After driving for two or three days like this, when they reached a mountain gorge, Ma Teng ordered the army to stop.Because it was afternoon and it was still very early, and it was far from the time for the garrison to rest. Zhao Yuan, who was following them, sent troops to investigate and see why Ma Teng's troops stopped advancing.

"There is no need to move forward. If we move forward, we will easily collide with the Qiang people on the plains without shelter. In this way, our disadvantage in military strength will be even more obvious. It is better to have a geographical advantage that is more convenient for us." The place to fight is easy to wait for work. And the terrain here is very good, at least it is extremely unfavorable for the large-scale charge of the Qiang cavalry, so I decided to wait here for the arrival of the Qiang people." After Ma Yue gave his reasons, He ignored Zhao Yuan's subordinates who came to inquire about the reason, and went to arrange how to fortify himself.

For this, Zhao Yuan was naturally unsatisfied, but after all, he only cooperated with the Ma family to fight the Qiang people, and did not have the power to direct the Ma family how to fight, so he had to endure it.And then, there was a question in front of him, should he stop here like the Ma family, or continue to move forward?

If he stays here, it means that he agrees and approves of this behavior of the Ma family. If the Qiang people did not go through this, but appeared behind them and launched an attack on Guanwu, his responsibility is naturally Nor is it smaller than the Ma family.And because the Ma family was originally an outlier in the Xiliang army, they were not afraid of others' gossip, but he, Zhao Yuan, would not be able to do it.

But if he continued to move forward, Zhao Yuan would not have much confidence in confronting the Qiang people.After all, he has less than [-] troops under his command, but he has to face several times stronger enemies, and he still fights with them on the open plain. The result is naturally obvious.The two roads are very difficult, which made Zhao Yuan suddenly confused, and at the same time made him even more resentful towards Ma Yue, the person who came up with such an idea. He really got angry this time, this time He must let the Ma family fall and avenge his two brothers who were killed. <Too bad, but after the sun goes down, it’s still cold and windy in front of such a canyon.This made Ma Teng's troops stationed here feel cold and uncomfortable, especially those who were ordered to guard the camp and patrol at night, and many people deserted and couldn't concentrate on taking care of them.

In this regard, Ma Teng and the others did not make excessively strict demands. After all, it was impossible for the Qiang people to show up at this night. As long as they were a little careful, they would naturally be able to pass the night safely.As for Zhao Yuan's place, the situation was no different from that of Ma's house, it was just as relaxed and calm.

But in this peaceful night, a nimble figure appeared here very unusually.He approached these two military camps quietly, and under the cover of night, he came to the side of Zhao Yuanjun's camp without anyone noticing.Then he stopped and tried his best to carefully observe the vertical flagpole through the starlight, and it took him a long time to vaguely see the big Zhao character.

After seeing the banner here clearly, they quietly retreated out again.His target is not Zhao Yuan, but Ma Teng.So when he came to the Ma family's barracks, he looked at the flag carefully again, and after confirming that this was where the person he was looking for, he carefully slipped into the barracks again.

After entering the barracks, this person became even more careful in his movements. Using the shadow of those tents, he managed to avoid the night watchmen passing by him several times.This is of course due to the fact that the soldiers were not vigilant enough, but the more important thing is that this person is very good at hiding himself. In such a deep night, he can completely become invisible.

After hiding several times, this person finally came to the position of the Chinese army's tent.Just when he was about to find out where his target was, he suddenly found that there was still a light on in one of the tents, and the two of them were still talking under the light.

"Second brother, although your move can make Zhao Yuan feel a little uncomfortable, it doesn't help us much in our current situation."

"Brother is right, but this is already the best way we can protect ourselves. Only with support and waiting for work at leisure can we preserve our vitality as much as possible in this war. As for Zhao Yuan, it must be now He must be very embarrassed, and what I want is exactly this effect, so that he will have to spend more attention on how to deal with emergencies, and can't use too much scheming on things that are not good for us."

"It turns out that you still have this level of consideration. In this way, you have indeed tried your best."

The conversation between the two people in the tent was overheard by the man outside, which also gave him a better understanding of the internal situation of the Xiliang Army.This made him feel that his chances of success in this trip were a little higher, and as a result, his body couldn't help but relax a bit, and the strength of the palm pressing on the edge of the tent became slightly stronger.

At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from the tent: "Who is it!?" Immediately afterwards, the curtain was thrown open, and a figure as nimble as a cheetah jumped out following the shout. .

The person outside the tent obviously didn't prepare for the other party's sudden awareness of his existence, so when he eavesdropped on the person inside the tent, he didn't find a hiding place earlier.When the person in the tent realized he had jumped out, and when he tried to find a place to hide, it was already too late, so he was caught by the person who jumped out.

"There's an assassin!" The person who jumped out of the tent was Ma Chao. When he suddenly saw an unexpected visitor in black appearing in front of his tent, his heart tensed up, and he immediately called out to prevent other thieves from entering. .At the same time, he also pulled out the saber at his waist, and after a low shout, he quickly slashed towards the man.

Seeing this, the man didn't dare to be careless anymore, he hurriedly dodged to the side, and at the same time shouted: "Don't get me wrong, I am definitely not an assassin, but I have something important to discuss with General Ma." Amazing, even under such circumstances, he was still able to calmly dodge Ma Chao's sharp knives one after another, and he was able to say such a sentence without disturbing his breath.

Ma Chao was also secretly startled, which made him even more afraid to be careless. No matter what the other party said, he didn't care. He just danced his knife vigorously and slashed at that person continuously.After all, he took advantage of the initiative, and his own martial arts are also very good, so after more than ten swords, he has almost forced the opponent to dodge.

At the same time, the soldiers in the surrounding military tents were also quickly alarmed, and rushed over one by one with knives and guns in their hands, and quickly surrounded the man in Gaixin. Now he can escape Ma Chao's pursuit, but this time it is also difficult. left.

"Huh——" Ma Chao's knife drew a beautiful arc in the air, and slashed at the man with pain in the face. The man had to retreat again, but behind him, there were already dozens of horses. The family soldiers are waiting for him.As soon as he stepped back, several spears had been pierced by lightning, heading straight for the vital point in his back.

Just when Ma Chao thought that this person must be killed by the spear, he suddenly let out a long cry, stopped the body that was flying back, and then jumped up, dodging Ma Chao high up. Keep up with the knife.

But his jump was ultimately a choice he made out of helplessness. Once he was in the air, life and death were no longer in his control.Sure enough, Ma Chao, who missed the first blow, immediately swung out another sword, grabbing his waist urgently. If this knife hits him, he is afraid that he will be cut off by the waist.

At this moment, a steady voice sounded, saving the man's life in time: "Brother, kill him now!"
