The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

()Looking at Ma Yue turning away without looking back, Li Ru's mouth was filled with bitterness. He knew that this time, for Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, it was really a critical moment of life and death. , but as the counselor of these people, he felt powerless for a while, and could only watch the situation become faster.

"What you have done to my Ma family today, I will repay ten times in the future!" This is the last sentence Ma Yue left when he was ordered to help Gu Zang.At that time, although Li Ru felt a little uneasy in his heart, he hadn't expected such a turning point in the matter, and the situation suddenly reversed within a few days.Now it seems that everything is in Ma Yue's expectation, so it is really extremely difficult for the two sides to have room for change.

"Actually, there is no room for maneuver. Since the lord was murdered, it is impossible for us in the Xiliang Army to truly reach a consensus. It is only because his Ma family is more special than us, so we can concentrate on it for the time being." Deal with his family. But even so, he can completely reverse the situation, this person is really amazing! And what should I do?" After standing for a long time and thinking for a long time, Li Ru finally made a decision. He raised his head, took a step, and went out of the house. It would not help to stay in Guzang City, so he thought of another way.

After hearing the news that Li Ru was leaving Guzang, Ma Teng felt a little uneasy: "Yue'er, do you think we should let him go? If we let him release the unfavorable remarks that we will die, I'm afraid It's not good for us either."

Ma Yue smiled lightly: "Father, there is no need to worry so much. Now the situation is very favorable to us. Are you still afraid of people saying some sarcastic remarks? Everyone has seen our previous experiences. It is because of their inhumanity. First of all, it is only natural for us not to save them this time. What's more, the only thing that can really convince people is strength. As long as we can replace these old Dong Zhuo's troops and become the de facto strongest force in Xiliang, how can others be a little bit because of this? Instead of recommending us? So, let him go, but we're not doing nothing."

"What else to do?" Ma Teng asked hastily.He already clearly felt that the opportunity for his Ma family's rise was imminent, so he was even more eager to get things done.

"Send out some troops to cut off the connection between Lintao and other places where Dong Zhuo's old troops are entrenched and the Guanwu area, so as to completely cut off their way of life." Ma Yue said and looked at Wang Feng who was on the side: "Brother Wang, this matter is very important. I have to rely on you and your brothers. Back then, you were strong men who have been in Xiliang for many years. You must be very familiar with the environment here. I would like to ask you to go out and lead people to block all the food that might be sent to Guanwu. Road, I wonder if you can do it?"

Wang Feng nodded at that time and said: "There is no problem with this. Although we people have not done these things for many years, we still have experience over the years. It is not difficult to block the road for a period of time! My son, general, you just Look, this time I won't let a grain of grain go to Guanwu!" After talking about it, he was a little excited.

After following Ma Yue, although he has made some contributions over the years, he always feels that his ability has not been fully utilized.Today, Ma Yue entrusted him with the task that Wang Feng is most familiar with, so he will naturally try his best to do things well, so that he can have a place in the future after the rise of the Ma family.

Ma Yue smiled happily and said encouragingly: "I believe in the abilities of Brother Wang and those brothers under your command. You will not let us down. Without further ado, you will lead people into action. You can ask us how many people you need to help." We want, now that we have no enemies, we can send troops to deal with everything."

"Here!" After Wang Feng agreed loudly, he hurriedly left.

Then, Ma Yue came to Li Ru again and sent him to the gate of the city in person.Seeing the other party's disappointed and helpless expression, Ma Yue smiled: "Brother Wen You, personally, I appreciate your ability and thank you for helping me all the time. But this time, what matters is the future of our Ma family, our own survival, so please forgive me for having to put aside everything in the past."

"I understand." Li Ru, who had already figured out the joints, nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, they—including myself have been unfair to you all these days. If you want to change your situation, you must Do something. So I can understand the choices you made today. But there is one sentence I still have to tell you, when some people are forced into a desperate situation, they may also do it Come up with something that will surprise you."

Ma Yue smiled, and was not intimidated by Li Ru's threatening words: "I know what you want to say, do you think that after falling into desperation, Niu Fu and the others might cooperate with the Qiang people, so that they can cooperate with the Qiang people?" Deal with us. I wonder if my guess is right?"

Li Ru silently acquiesced.After a while, he said: "I hope you can distinguish the seriousness of it, and don't really bring us Xiliang a disaster that will never be restored."

"I don't think they will do this, because if they do, those people under their command will fall apart immediately, and then these people will be available to me. On the contrary, I hope that such a situation can happen." Ma Yue said Having their own opinions, they confidently said: "So this time, they have to follow our wishes and fight the Qiang people head-on, otherwise..."

Seeing that his threatening words couldn't make the horse change his mind, Li Ru had to get on the horse after another sigh.He knew that there was only one way for him to go, but he didn't know if this Ma Yue had anticipated his back move long ago, so he arranged it calmly and put them in a desperate situation.

Just as Ma Yue guessed, after Li Ru left Guzang, he did not rush back to Guanwu to live and die with those people, but went east to Lintao.Because he knew very well that even though Gu Zang had stored all the supplies for the army, it didn't mean that the food in their hands was only there.Because in Lintao, the birthplace of Dong Zhuo's tribe, there are still nearly ten thousand oak grains as a backup.Once the food ahead is exhausted, the last [-] grains stored here will be useful.

So now he returns to Lintao just to use this last hole card, so as to break the crisis set by the Ma family.Of course, apart from this reason, Li Ru chose to return to Lintao for his own consideration.He knew very well that with his ability, he might not be able to enter the city with his whole body when he returned to Guanwu.And even if you go in, I'm afraid it will be bad luck, so it's better to stay outside and think of other ways.

Another quick trip, but after two days, he returned to Lintao again.There are no more than a few thousand defenders here, and it looks much deserted than before.I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but when he came back here again, Li Ru always felt that this city seemed a bit lifeless, and it seemed that everything that belonged here would disappear soon.

But after entering the city, Li Ru put this strange thought aside, and immediately called Hu Chang, the general who was staying in the city, to him: "How much surplus grain is there in the granary in the city?"

"Ah?" Hu Chang didn't know what was going on ahead, and he seemed a little surprised when he saw Li Ru hurried back and asked about the food situation.After a long while, he said: "It should be around six thousand oaks. Because there has been a spring famine recently, the people around here have borrowed food."

Since the Xiliang army wants to establish a foothold in Xiliang, it must establish a good relationship with the people here, otherwise it will be very difficult to recruit soldiers and food in the future.Now that they have food in their hands, and the people are experiencing a spring famine, they will naturally borrow some food from them to tide them over.

Because he knew that the food on the front line was sufficient, Hu Chang, who had the job of guarding the soil, didn't think much about it, and borrowed half of the food in the warehouse as early as half a month ago.

When Li Ru heard this, his face was filled with embarrassment, and the food had already been borrowed, so it was impossible to get it back in a short time.With only [-] grains of grain, it can only provide the army with less than five days' supply, which really means a drop in the bucket.

But at this time, he didn't care about pursuing Hu Chang's self-assessment. After a moment of silence, he said: "From now on, we can no longer give a single grain in our warehouse to the common people. Then, you must quickly mobilize people, Pack the food and send it to the front to provide supplements to the general Niu and the others."

"Ah?" Hu Chang was startled again, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, what are you doing? We have prepared tens of thousands of grains in Guzang, why do we need to adjust the grains here?"

"This... naturally has its reasons. But the matter is so important, I can't reveal it, you just have to follow the order!" Li Ru couldn't think that Lintao City would also be in chaos because of this, so he ordered in a strong tone .

Seeing the situation, Hu had no choice but to agree in a low voice, and then went down to prepare everything.Watching him leave, Li Ru clenched his fists tightly: "The situation is getting worse, I hope there is still room for recovery, otherwise the future of us people will really be completely controlled by the Ma family. I also hope that the lord has a spirit in the sky and can protect us!"

The [-] oak grains were quickly taken out, loaded into grain trucks, and escorted by thousands of soldiers, they headed west one after another.But they didn't know that at this time, on the roads and trails leading to Guanwu, thousands of cavalry had already been ignoring them and the food, just waiting for them to show up, and the battle of snatching would be over. break out!
