The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() In the afternoon of the next day, Ma Teng came back from the outside with a serious face, and was caught by Ma Yue who was carefully studying the city defense map.He already knew in his heart why his father was like this, but he still asked out of concern, "I don't know why my father is worried about it?"

"Hey, don't mention it. I didn't expect that the people of our Ma family could not control their mouths like this. Earlier this day, a story suddenly spread in the city, saying that they captured the inside of the Qiang people last night." Jian, even Li Que's identity has been exposed, and now the whole city knows about it. The blow to the morale of the army is second to none. The most important thing is that the strategy we originally set up this time may be a little bit I have doubts!" ​​Ma Teng let out a muffled groan, obviously very dissatisfied with such a change.

Ma Yue smiled: "Father, you don't need to be so worried, the child is just trying to tell you about this."

"Huh?" Seeing Ma Yue's appearance like this, Ma Teng's heart suddenly moved.Based on years of getting along with him, he already knew his son well enough. Obviously, the leak this time had something to do with him: "Is it your idea to release the news this time?"

"Exactly." Seeing that there was no one else here, Ma Yue smiled and nodded.

"Why do you want to do this? Didn't you have a plan before? After finding out this insider, use him to pass false news to the Qiang people, and then we can profit from it? Why are you deliberately distributing such important news now?" If it gets out, how can we use Li Que's identity as an insider to deal with them?"

"Father, don't be impatient. The reason why the child suddenly changed his mind is also something to consider. I asked Li Que last night, and he told the truth about why he was used by the Qiang people. From this, I realized that these Qiang people are not simple. .If we just use Li Que to pass the news directly, I'm afraid they may not be caught, so I think it is necessary to make some changes."

"How to change it?" Ma Teng asked slightly worried: "Now that Li Que is an insider, and the news that we have captured it has spread all over the city. Not too big."

"That's exactly what I intended. Given the insidiousness of the Qiang people's actions this time, I'm afraid my Guzang city has already infiltrated other spies. And after he knows that Li Que has been captured, he will definitely He will find a way to send the news out, so that the Qiang people will have doubts about the news from the previous Li Que.

"Originally, the news we gave them was that we would ambush halfway, and they could deal with our ambush based on this point. But once they find that we have learned their intentions, they will definitely think that we are not It is possible to set up an ambush in the same place again. But what if we do the opposite and do this? I am afraid that they are bound to fall into our ambush this time!" Ma Yue gave his own idea.

Although what he said was a bit convoluted, Ma Teng quickly understood that it was a trick of fiction to put it bluntly.But as long as the other party can't guess their real purpose, then this trick is still very useful.After pondering for a while, Ma Teng finally said: "So you have changed your mind and want to confuse the enemy with secret words."

"That's right. There are many tactics in the Art of War, but this time I did the opposite. They must have difficulty predicting that we will not change our strategy. By then...hehe!" Said Ma The more he sneered.

Ma Teng also had to applaud his son's strategy, because this move was impossible for anyone to think of.The only thing that made him feel uneasy was whether the Qiang people would think so deeply: "What if they only believe in Li Que and not the words of other spies, or if they don't know what's going on behind them at all, then..."

"Father can rest assured that it is impossible for the Qiang people to fully trust us Han people, so besides Li Que, they must have other spies. And this person will definitely be trusted by them more than Li Que, as long as he can Send the news back, and they will believe it when they combine the previous intelligence. As for whether the information can be passed on, even Li Que can do it. How can it be possible for a spy who has sneaked into us and has never been noticed by us? Even this little thing can’t be done? Presumably it won’t be today, the news will be passed on, and then the Qiang people will make targeted arrangements.” After a pause, Ma Yue said again: “So father, we We must send out all the people who need to ambush as soon as possible, and then act according to the plan."

"Okay, then do as you want, I will let Chao'er and the others rush to the place, this will determine the victory or defeat of this battle with the Qiang people!" Ma Teng was also unambiguous, and immediately went to arrange everything.Given their current strength, it would be impossible for them to be the enemy of the Qiang people in a head-on confrontation, but if it was changed to an ambush, the situation would obviously be different, so Ma Teng also seemed extraordinarily solemn.

Ma Yue remembered something, and stepped forward again: "Father, after the war, if we win an overwhelming victory, please give me an order..." After speaking, he expressed his idea.

After Ma Teng heard his strategy, he couldn't help frowning: "Is this idea really effective? This is really too cruel, will there be peace?"

"Since they are the bandits who invaded the borders of our Han people and killed our Han people, there is no need for us to talk about benevolence and righteousness to them. Only when they are thoroughly beaten and subdued, they will be honest in the future. And doing so, not only can Shocking the people who came later is enough to completely bring down the various tribes of the Qiang people within a few years. This is the most favorable situation for me, Xiliang, and even the entire Central Plains." Ma Yue said hurriedly.

After a little hesitation, Ma Teng finally nodded: "Okay, I will do as you wish. They have hurt us Xiliang people a lot, and they should pay the price!"

?????

Ten miles to the west of Guzang, on a plain tens of miles away, stretches of tents were tightly packed together, and more than [-] Qiang cavalrymen of various ethnic groups gathered here.After winning the victory in Guanwu County, the Qiang people continued to besiege Niu Fu and others who had retreated to Guanwu, and then went back on the road.

Now they are not far from Guzang, but they did not immediately mobilize troops as they did before to take the official military. Instead, they took a rest here and waited for some news that would be beneficial for them to seize the city.

It's just the way people are, when you've tried an easier way and succeeded, you've come to rely on it.The Qiang people caught the Xiliang army by surprise by relying on Li Que's information before, and their own damage was extremely limited, so naturally they want to do it again today.Moreover, they also learned that the situation in Guzang was different from that of the Guanwu. There was ample food and grass there. If the city was besieged and attacked by force, not only would it cause great casualties, but it might not be possible to take the city.So now they just want to wait for the spies in front to bring useful information as soon as possible, so as to make another victory.

The Qiang people have been waiting here for five days, and the spirits that need to be raised and the preparations that need to be made have been prepared. Now everyone is preparing, and once the order is given, they can attack.However, as the temporary leader of this Qiang team, Helian Dada did not give the order to send troops, but told the troops to be patient for the time being and wait for the news ahead.

Today, Helian Dada finally called together the leaders of several tribes and explained to them that the time is ripe: "I just got the news from Guzang City that the Xiliang Army has come out on its own initiative. And set up an ambush at the pass of Laoya Mountain in front, hoping to reverse the situation in one fell swoop. So what I mean is, use this to carry out a counter-ambush, so as to completely wipe out this last Xiliang army in one fell swoop. What do you think?"

After several tribal leaders glanced at each other, they all shook their heads: "No, your idea is very good, just do it like this!" They also got cheap information from Li Que's information before, so this time they naturally support Helian very much. Dada.But immediately, another person said doubtfully: "But Shen Likang from the Shendi clan has not arrived yet, should I ask him what he means?"

The Shendi tribe is a relatively powerful branch of these Qiang tribes, and they have always liked to compete with Helian Dada, so someone would say this.After hearing this, Helen Dada's face sank: "That's his own business. Since we have such a good opportunity, how can we let it go? It's settled like that, we will have a chance tomorrow. send troops……"

Helen Dada hadn't finished speaking, but a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Wait a minute, I haven't agreed to your sending troops yet, why do you make a decision so quickly!" Then the tent door was lifted, A big man with a beard and a voice that didn't match his at all walked in.

"Shen Likang, do you want to prevent us from achieving further victories?" Helian Dada asked coldly with an even more ugly face.

Shen Likang smiled: "If you are really going to win, I am naturally willing to send troops with you. But the current situation is obviously not that simple. I just got a message from the person I sent to Guzang, a man named Li Que's Xiliang Army general was found out as an insider, and now he has been locked up by them. I don't know this, do you, Helian Dada, know?"

"What?" Helian Dada jumped up immediately after hearing this, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course, otherwise, why did I come here in such a hurry? How about it, do you still want to insist on using this strategy to fight the Xiliang army? I'm afraid you will suffer a lot because of it."

"This..." Helian Dada stopped talking, feeling very embarrassed.Because he knew that it was impossible for the other party to laugh at such a big matter, and Li Que's real identity was only known to a few close people, so it was absolutely impossible for outsiders to know.Now that Shen Likang has pointed out Li Que's identity, it means that this is indeed the case.
