The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() After hearing what Li Ru said, all the generals were stunned for a moment, and then all of them showed knowing smiles.Indeed, there is no other group of people who is more suitable than the Ma Teng tribe to rescue Guzang. It is impossible for Qiang people to appear in the front now, and it is useless to let them stay there. It is better to ask them to fight with the Qiang people. It's a head-on battle.Even if the Qiang people really used the trick of besieging Wei and saving Zhao and ambushing reinforcements halfway, their losses would be minimal.

But despite being happy, someone still raised concerns: "However...then Ma Zhongling is not a fool, he must have seen the danger, so he may not be willing to send troops according to our intention."

After this point was pointed out, several other people also deeply agreed, and then they all fixed their eyes on Li Ru.Since you proposed this strategy, you must have a way to persuade them to send troops?When Li Ru saw this, he just smiled: "Of course I have thought of this, but I have a way to make Ma Zhongling have to take this risk. In this way, I will give the order to let Ma Teng's troops return to the army to rescue Guzang this time." Come."

"It's the best way to do this. Brother Wenyou will definitely be able to succeed immediately." The generals said hastily.

Two days later, Li Ru, who hurried on his way, appeared in front of the mountain gorge where Ma Teng's tribe was located under the escort of dozens of cavalry.Looking at the terrain here, Li Ru couldn't help but nodded again and again: "I think Ma Zhongling chose this place. He is really wise. He chose such a place that can hinder the Qiang cavalry from exerting their momentum. If the Qiang people are really positive It's coming, he is enough to deal with it for a period of time with thousands of people under his command." What he said came from his heart, in fact, there was no conflict or prejudice between him and Ma Yue. On the contrary, there is a sense of sympathy, but it is a pity that they have different positions and can only oppose each other.

After shaking his head and getting rid of the strange emotions in his heart, Li Ru patted his horse and walked to the front of the camp.Seeing these dozens of people coming to their camp, the soldiers in front of the camp immediately raised their spears and surrounded them: "Who is it, please report the origin and the reason for coming here, or don't blame us for doing it!"

After what happened that night, Ma Teng really rectified the military discipline. Now all the soldiers here dare not be careless. Handle with care.

"Don't get me wrong, we are also the Xiliang Army!" Li Ru said as he got off his horse, and raised his hands, indicating that he had no hostility.And the knights behind him also did the same, he had repeatedly told them along the way, otherwise, if any unnecessary conflicts were caused, it would be bad if they were injured by Ma Teng's subordinates.

"Are you also the Xiliang army?" The soldier looked at the people in front of him carefully, and he believed it a little bit.But he still didn't dare to let people into the camp easily: "Do you have any credentials?"

"Yes. This is our command talisman. I was ordered to meet with General Ma and discuss important matters with him." Li Ru handed over a bronze talisman as he spoke, and at the same time secretly admired the Ma family's rigorous military management. This is rare in the Xiliang army.

After examining the bronze talisman representing the general of the Xiliang Army, the soldier was convinced of the identity of Li Ru and the others.But this only made him order the soldiers who were pointing at them with spears to retreat, but he did not let them enter the camp, but said: "Let us enter the camp to report, and then please enter. Dare to ask the name of the gentleman."

"Let's say Li Ru asked to see me." Li Ru smiled, although he was still dissatisfied with their attitude after knowing that he was not an enemy, but he did not express anything.

But after a cup of tea, one person appeared in front of Li Ru and the others with a smile on his face. When he saw that it was him, his smile became even wider: "Haha, it's really surprising. I didn't expect Brother Wen You I will take the risk to appear here. When I heard people report that it was you who came, I just thought it was someone pretending to be Brother Wen You." It was Ma Yue who came out after hearing the report.

Seeing that they really knew each other, the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp stepped aside and let Li Ru and others enter the camp.As Li Ru entered the camp, he smiled and said, "It's really not easy to meet you, Ma Zhongling. I never thought that your military camp would have such strict military discipline. It's really admirable."

"Hey, in this dangerous place, I have to be cautious." Ma Yue smiled casually: "But I don't know why Brother Wen You came here suddenly? It must be no small matter for Brother Wen You to come here personally. "

"It's really a big deal. Let's talk about it slowly after we see General Ma." Li Ru smiled, but didn't understand what he said.He didn't want to give Ma Yue any time to react, he had to let them make a decision before he figured out all the pros and cons.

Regarding this, Ma Yue didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and led Li Ru to the main tent of the Chinese army.At this time, Ma Teng had already received the news of Li Ru's arrival and was waiting there.After the hatchback saluted, Ma Teng smiled and said: "Mr. Li came suddenly, but because we are not at ease, we guard here, worried that we will be attacked by the Qiang people? In fact, sir, you can go back and tell the other generals that we are confident that when the Qiang people come Let them suffer a lot, as long as they don't put all their troops in, we can still drag them down for a while."

"This point is because I believe that General Yima's ability and your army's combat effectiveness can indeed be done." Li Ru nodded in agreement, and then changed his face: "But I am not here for this, but for a purpose. There are more important matters that require the general to lead the troops. That is... Guzang has been besieged by the Qiang people, and it is very critical now, I hope the general will lead people to rescue the siege."

"What? That's impossible!" Ma Teng immediately shook his head, and said in disbelief, "We've been guarding here for several days, but we haven't seen a single Qiang. How could they appear in Guzang behind us?"

"I also have some doubts about this, but the fact is true. This is the news that the defenders of Guzang fought their way out and brought it to the official military. It has been several days now. If there is no more troops to rescue, the city will be filled with soldiers and civilians. And the more than [-] oak grains stored in the city will all fall into the hands of the Qiang people, and the whole battle situation will inevitably collapse completely by then. Therefore, I ask the general to put the overall situation first and send troops quickly!" Li Ru said Then, he bowed respectfully to Ma Teng, just waiting for his answer.

But this time, it was Ma Yue who spoke first: "Brother Wen You, are you deceiving us? I'm afraid that things are not as simple as what you said? We are here, while other people from all walks of life are in the official Wu, they are obviously closer to Guzang than we are, why do you want us to return to the rescue? What is the purpose of this, and I hope Brother Li can enlighten me.” After finishing these words , Ma Yue's expression is already a bit unfriendly.

Li Ru also knew that Ma Yue couldn't hide these things, otherwise he wouldn't be able to achieve today's achievements.So I just sighed: "The reason, in fact, you can figure it out without telling me. Since Zhongling asked this, I will tell you bluntly, yes, they just want to use your ministry to fight hard with the Qiang people, so that In order to achieve the effect of reaping the benefits. Moreover, now that the Qiang people have appeared behind us, it means that you are useless here now, and it is even more impossible for them to let you sit and watch them fight desperately with the Qiang people, so there will be this command.

"Actually, now, General Ma, you have no choice but to act accordingly. Otherwise, just a crime of disobedience will be enough reason for them to attack you afterwards. In addition, this Gu Zang is in conflict with you Ma The family relationship is very deep, and it is even more impossible for them to sacrifice their soldiers and horses for the people in and out of the city, so... this time to break the siege of Guzang, it is indeed up to the general to lead the troops!"

What he said made Ma Yue and his son fall silent at the same time.When all the hypocrisy is removed and the naked interests are exposed, it is impossible for them to find a reason to refuse.And this also includes the existence of the Guzang Lin family, which has a close relationship with the Ma family. Whether it is for future development considerations or moral considerations, it is imperative for the Ma family to return to the rescue.

Of course, when he said these words, Li Ru also used his eyes. He did not mention a key point, that is, the other Qiang troops are not in their sight, and they are probably hiding somewhere, waiting for the west to attack. When the Liang army came back for reinforcements, it ambushed.If Ma Yue sees through this point, it is obviously impossible for them to accept such a transfer order, even if it offends everyone.

But because the incident happened suddenly, Li Ruyou suspiciously concealed this point, so that the Ma family father and son obviously did not think of the most terrible point.So after some weighing and thinking, Ma Yue finally said: "They really are good at calculating, they actually want us to fight the Qiang people to the death, and then clean up the mess. Hmph, you have always regarded our Ma family as a For the enemy, he kept calculating and using it, and this time he even used threats. I will write down this account, and one day, I will make you all regret making such a decision!"

Hearing Ma Yue say such words, Li Ru's heart felt a chill inexplicably, but now, it is impossible to turn back.Moreover, he felt that the Ma family's return to the army this time was more likely to be inauspicious than good, and it was difficult to pose any threat, so he just smiled: "I am just doing my duty as a counselor, I really can't help it. I don't know if General Ma Have you made a decision?"

Ma Teng also sneered when he heard the words: "At this point, do we still have a choice? It's up to your wishes. But I also said the same thing, today's cause, another day's result, in the future, don't blame our Ma family for doing the same thing. It is enough to deal with you!"
