The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() The soldiers who were still watching in Guzang City couldn't believe their eyes. It was just a simple battle, and the reinforcements rushed to kill the Qiang people who had surrounded them for several days. Had a dream?

It wasn't until someone from the reinforcements over there stepped forward and called out to the defenders loudly, telling them to open the door to welcome him in, that the people in the city came to their senses.But immediately, a doubt arose in Liu Pu's mind: "Could it be that this is a trick set up by the Qiang people to make money from our Guzang City?" Once he had this idea, he felt like this The results are credible, but they are more careful and dare not open the city.

But of course it’s not the way to delay like this. The people in the city were already a little impatient, and many soldiers shouted there: “Why, we have spent so much effort to rescue Gu Zang, and now we have beaten the enemy away, but you don’t even know what to do? Kaesong did not welcome you, what is the reason for that?"

"General?" Seeing this situation, the defenders on the city also felt that it was not a problem, and couldn't help looking at Liu Pu who had been silent all this time, waiting for his reaction.However, Liu Pu had decided that there was something wrong with it, so he didn't dare to take the risk of opening the city gate, so he shouted loudly: "I appreciate everyone's hard work, but please forgive us for our difficulties." Well, our city of Guzang is really short of soldiers and horses. If something happens... so I invite the generals of your army to speak out. If you can convince me that you are members of our Xiliang army, we will naturally Open the city gate, thank you all."

The voice spread down the city, and was conveyed to Ma Yue by the sergeant in front, which made him smile admiringly: "This Guzang guard is indeed very cautious, no wonder he was entrusted with such an important position by Li Ru and the others. But I don’t know what the route is. Father, wait for me to negotiate with him, as long as we enter the city, everything will be under our control.”

"This, won't there be any danger?" Ma Teng said hesitantly.The guards in the city didn't trust them, and Ma Teng, who already had some kind of thoughts in mind, couldn't trust them either.

"I don't think so. After all, we are also members of the Xiliang Army now, and they can't do such a thing." Ma Yue gave his father a reassuring smile, and immediately patted his horse and headed towards the city. After a while came to the city.He stopped his horse, and then looked up at the top of the city. The distance of several feet could not affect his sight, so Liu Pu's appearance was immediately recognized by him: "So it's General Liu Pu, why don't you Do you suspect that Ma Yue will trick you?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Ma!" Liu Pu also recognized Ma Yuelai immediately. Although Dong Zhuo's former subordinates had a lot of quarrels with the Ma family before, he didn't have much suspicion at this time, but he was a little curious and said: " Aren't you facing the enemy head-on in front, why did you appear here?"

"We were just ordered to come to help. Who knows what General Niu and the others think. Anyway, now that we have solved the siege here, you should open the door to reward us soldiers." Ma Yue laughed, and then again Pointing to Liu Pu, he said, "If you keep refusing to open the door like this, I will let the brothers attack the city."

"No, I'll just open the city gate. Everyone is from the Xiliang army, and now is the time when the enemy is at hand, how can they kill each other?" Although Liu Pu felt that Ma Yue's arrival was a bit strange, he changed his mind. Thinking of Niu Fu and the others who sent the Ma family's men and horses to run around, they were relieved, so without further delay, they immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.

After the city gate opened and the suspension bridge fell, the thousands of people from the Ma family walked over without any bad intentions, which made some people in the city who were still on guard completely relieved.They also know that the Ma family is different from their own, and they are indeed not at ease now that they are here.

"I've seen Mr. Ma, and this time Mr. Ma brought someone to save me. I'm really grateful!" Liu Pu had already arrived at the gate of the city, and he smiled and saluted.

Ma Yue hurriedly supported him: "General Liu, there is no need to be polite. I am here because I was ordered, and because you and I belong to the same army. I still need to help with this. Why, General, the soldiers and civilians in this city are all Are you all right? There is no problem with the food or anything?"

"There is nothing wrong. Those Qiang people just surrounded my Guzang, but did not launch an attack, so neither the army nor the civilians suffered any damage. Naturally, there is no chance that there will be a mistake in the food. Thank you for your concern." Liu Pu replied casually.

"That's good. In this way, I can give General Niu and the others an explanation." Ma Yue smiled happily: "It's also thanks to General Liu, your commanding skills, so that you can keep the city intact. When the time comes, I will be truthful. I told them." Ma Yue also praised the other party in a timely manner.

"This is just the general's job, and it's really not a credit." Liu Pu smiled humbly, and then thought of something else: "But the Qiang people are really strange, they were defeated by your troops so easily. This is really not like the usual style of the Qiang people in the past."

"I also think this is a bit strange, but since we have already entered the city, I think they can deal with it even if they have any conspiracy." Ma Yuezhao had already thought of some ways to deal with it, so he casually said a few words at this time , and then said: "General Liu, all of us have traveled for several days to get here, and after another fight, we are all hungry, please prepare some food for everyone."

"Yes, yes." Liu Pu hurriedly nodded yes, and then ordered people to fetch food from the granary to prepare food for the reinforcements.As for himself, he accompanied Ma Yue and Ma Teng, who came later, to the command post in the city to rest.

Just as Ma Yue was walking towards the city with him, he suddenly made a gesture and winked at Wang Chong who was beside him, and a secret signal had been cast.But the defenders in the city at the side didn't notice anything at all, and they were still thankful that they had finally solved the siege of the city.

Guzang County is not big, so the temporary command post is very simple, only two or three people who look like book offices stay there, doing what Ma Yue used to do when he was under Dong Zhuo's hand - delivering grain and grass overall planning.

After Liu Pu came in, he sent these people to work in the next room, and then asked someone to bring wine and food. He wanted to treat and thank Ma Teng and his son who came to rescue them.Ma Yue and the others accepted this calmly, without any intention of refusing.

After toasting his father and son each with a glass of wine, and expressing his gratitude, Liu Pu finally started to bring the topic to an unharmonious matter: "General Ma, Mr. Ma, can you make it in time?" Of course, we are extremely grateful for saving our soldiers and civilians in the city and keeping our food and grass. However, the city of Guzang is too small to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and the Qiang people on the front line are powerful, so can you ..." He didn't finish the last words, because the words had already been said clearly enough, there was really no need to be so unemotional.

"You mean you want us to leave this place quickly and go back to the front to fight the Qiang people?" Ma Yue looked at Liu Pu with a half-smile and asked.A trace of displeasure had already flashed across Ma Teng's face, but he was obviously still suppressing his anger, and did not explode right then.

"This... I do have this intention. But it has nothing to do with my selfishness. It is really for the sake of the overall situation. I hope you two can understand." Liu Pu hurriedly explained: "After all, I am in the rear of Guzang County. In the event of an emergency, there is no possibility of any danger, and the last general and the two thousand people under his command are enough to ensure safety. It is more necessary for the front to deal with the enemy with such a brave and skilled fighter as General Ma, and as resourceful as Mr. Ma." In order to make them accept what he meant, Liu Pu even sent them two good words.

After Ma Yue heard this, he just smiled lightly: "General Liu, we came here to help you keep the city. The chair is not warm yet, and you are in a hurry to drive people away. Isn't that too unreasonable? "

"This is also for the sake of the overall situation. Of course, if you feel tired, you can stay here for two days, but Guzang is not an ordinary city after all. I hope the two of you can understand my difficulties."

"Of course I can understand your thoughts. It's not that they have the same purpose as Li Que, but they want to use our Ma family members as gunmen, and they will cross the river and demolish the bridge after they are done." Ma Yue glanced over and found that Wang Feng outside nodded his head towards him, knowing that the matter had been done, so he said this not so politely.

"You... How can Mr. Ma say such cruel words? I have never had such vicious thoughts!" Liu Pu was a little annoyed, but he quickly controlled it, and said, "It's really the situation like this. Two..."

"You don't have to say it." Ma Yue waved his hand and interrupted his defense: "Now that things are going on, don't we still need to hide the conflict between you and me? Long before you came back to Xiliang, you Dong Zhuo's old subordinates had put us in Ma Yue's place. Everyone regards it as a different kind, as a thorn in the flesh, and is eager to get rid of it immediately. For this reason, you have used a lot of methods, but now that the Qiang people have appeared, you have temporarily stopped these despicable methods. All of these, I see in the eyes.

"Now, in the face of foreign enemies, you are still constantly calculating and using us. Do you really think that our Ma family is so easy to bully? Today, I will use actions to tell you and those Dong Zhuo's old troops——No, you are wrong, we The Ma family is by no means to be oppressed by you at will, starting from today, our Ma family will be in charge!"

Seeing Ma Yue suddenly turned his face and said such words, Liu Pu's heart sank suddenly: "You... how are you doing?"

"How about it? I think you've already thought about what I'm going to do." Ma Yue smiled coldly, Wang Feng followed and reported loudly: "General, son, everyone in the city has been controlled by us!"
