The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() "What?" Ma Chao was also surprised: "What do you mean?" He knew very well that even if the Qiang people were powerful now, with the high walls of Long County and the tens of thousands of troops led by Zhang Wen, It shouldn't be a problem to last for a while, but why does my brother say so?

"Brother, do you still remember the person you and I went to meet on the first day of the new year?" Ma Yue asked suddenly.

"Remember, this person was ordered by a certain rebel to lobby his father. Didn't you and I send him away in the end?" Ma Chao recalled, and then gave the answer: "This person and What's the matter with Long County?"

"It's because I have always ignored this matter. Since the Qiang people will send people to negotiate with their father and want to convince him to join the enemy, what about the others? Don't they just look for the father alone, and don't want to hold the other hands? Will the powerful Long County officials pull them over? It is true that my father will not act according to their wishes, but it is difficult for others!" Ma Yue said very worriedly.

Ma Chao also became a little anxious because of his words: "You mean that they might still have an internal response in Long County?"

"That's right. Maybe that man, like his father, didn't promise them anything at that time, but now that Long County is besieged and the reinforcements can't arrive anyway, what would he think and do? I'm afraid as long as he is a life-threatening If you die, you will think of cooperating with the enemy inside and outside, and then surrender in order to save your life?"

"This...what to do with this?" At this moment, Ma Chao also panicked, looking at his younger brother and asking.He has greatly admired this brother's talent and flexibility, and thinks that even the most difficult things can be done by him.

Ma Yue was in a dilemma this time, and the best way at the moment was to ask Dong Zhuo to send troops immediately, so that the appearance of reinforcements along the way might make the possible rebellion a little less fearful.Judging from Dong Zhuo's selfishness, it is difficult to convince him.The only way is to find a way to go back to Long County and pass this urgent information to Zhang Wen or his father, so as to prevent possible betrayal.However, this idea still has difficulties. Not to mention Lintao, which is a hundred miles away, it is impossible to enter the city from outside the besieged Long County?

Seeing his younger brother's embarrassed and tangled expression, Ma Chao's heart sank slowly: "Why, is there really no solution?"

"There are only two ways to solve this problem. However, they are both difficult and may not be possible." Ma Yue had no choice but to speak out his plan.And after listening to his words, Ma Chao immediately said: "I'll go back and show the police!"

"Ah? Brother, although you are skilled in martial arts and have broken into the enemy's camp before, this time is no better than the previous two times. There are nearly [-] to [-] Qiang troops. It is almost impossible to break through!" Ma Yue He hurriedly spoke out to stop him, he didn't want his elder brother to be recklessly sent to death because of a momentary urgency, this would only increase the number of casualties and would not save his family at all.

"I didn't say I was going to force my way in."

"Then how do you go to show the police?" Ma Yue was a little confused.

Ma Chao still felt a sense of accomplishment for finally having something he didn't know about his younger brother. This was the first time in more than a year.But soon, he put aside the weird thoughts in his heart, and said: "You always like to study at home, so you are not familiar with Long County, but I am different. Two years ago, I was there in the east of the city. I have found a secret road leading directly to the outside of the city, if this secret road is still there, I think it should not be difficult to enter the city from the siege of the Qiang people."

"There is still such a secret path?" Ma Yue was overjoyed when he heard it. This is indeed a good way to go back and show the police: "Since there is such an opportunity, we must not let it go. I will go and ask the lord Resignation, go with big brother."

"No, you can't go." But Ma Chao shook his head and said, "You've been very tired these days, it's really not good to go on this trip again. Besides, without you, I'm lighter. Besides, you There are more important things that need to be done, and that is to try to persuade Dong Zhuo to send troops as soon as possible, so as to really solve the difficulties in Long County."

Although Ma Chao's words listed many legitimate reasons, Ma Yue could hear his brother's concern for him. He was worried that this trip would be too dangerous, and he didn't want to risk being killed by the Qiang people so he didn't let him follow him. to go.For this, Ma Yue was very moved, but he had to accept his brother's arrangement, because what he said was not wrong, and going by himself would only get in the way, so it's better to stay here.

For the first time, Ma Yue, who was reincarnated into this era, obeyed his elder brother's instructions: "Then follow what elder brother said."

"Hey, it's rare to let my second brother listen to me." Ma Chao smiled, then patted his brother on the shoulder and was about to leave.But Ma Yue held his hand again: "Wait a minute, brother, I still have something to say."

"Huh?" Ma Chao looked at his brother suspiciously.

Ma Yue, who had calmed down, made a judgment in his heart, and then said: "Besides going to Long County to show the police, you can also tell your father some characteristics of this possible criminal. First, this person must not be Zhang. The person when Wen led the army back, because it was difficult for the Qiang people to contact us in the Han army at that time; second, this person's status in Long County was not low, at least comparable to that of his father, Otherwise, they would not have found him; third, this person should have considerable power now, otherwise he would not be able to be used by the Qiang people. With these three points, it may be easier to find him out!"

"I wrote it down." Ma Chao nodded solemnly, then turned around and left, only to hear the brother behind him finally say: "Take care!"

"Is this true?" Early the next morning, when Ma Yue told Dong Zhuo and Li Ru what he was worried about, he couldn't help being a little surprised even though these two people were used to all kinds of emergencies. up.

Ma Yue nodded, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid it's what I think, I have already asked my brother to rush back to Long County to show the police, I hope everything can be redeemed."

Li Ru stroked his beard, was silent for a long while, and finally said: "Then what do you think the Lord can do to improve the situation this time?" He knew very well that if what Ma Yue said was true, Long County would be completely destroyed. If the Qiang people got it, the situation in Xiliang as a whole would be irreversible.

"There is only one way to send troops as soon as possible!" Ma Yue said: "Even if my brother can go back in time this time and find out the hidden insider, there is no guarantee that there is only one person who thinks so in the whole city. Therefore, if you want to use If Long County is really saved, we must give confidence to the people in the city, and we must send troops to help!"

Dong Zhuo also fell silent. He was also weighing the pros and cons of the two situations, and finally he had to accept Ma Yue's statement that he must send troops as soon as possible this time.However, he still won't send troops at will. These 1 people are his last property, and he is unwilling to take these troops to death: "Then the only way to do that is to contact those wealthy families as soon as possible so that they can send troops as soon as possible." Join forces with us!"

"This, Zhong Ling and I will do it!" Li Ru made up his mind: "From the perspective of these aristocratic family members, they should make the best choice for themselves!"

"Okay, I will do my best to persuade them to send troops!" Ma Yue also expressed his determination.

Just when Ma Yue discovered the unstable factors in Long County and started to resolve them, the Qiang barracks outside Long County also received a piece of news that made them very disturbed——Dong Zhuo had not only defeated Bian Zhang The troops managed to get out of Wangyuan Kip and returned to Lintao City.This is not good news. In this way, the Qiang army, which has already approached the city of Long County, will be in a situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Beigong Boyu's face was very gloomy: "What did Bianzhang's army do? They couldn't trap the more than 1 Han troops who were out of food!"

Li Wenhou hurriedly persuaded him: "Now is not the time to hold him accountable, what we should focus on is what to do next. If we continue to stand in this stalemate here, I'm afraid we will really be flanked by the Han army!"

"Even if they attack back and forth, we can still kill them and flee!" The always proud general of the Qiang army didn't take it seriously.

"Then what if they just use defense as an offense and trap us here?" Li Wenhou said angrily: "Although we have enough food and grass now, if we attack Long County for a long time, the situation will not be so optimistic. Coupled with the fact that there is a Han army behind, this battle is too dangerous. Therefore, in my opinion, we have to make a choice. If we can't capture Long County in a short time, we should give up here and attack instead. Dong Zhuo of Lintao."

"In this way, the Han army here will be given a chance to breathe. I am afraid that the Han court will also send reinforcements. It will be very difficult for us to completely capture Xiliang." Beigong Boyu was still unwilling Said: "Is there really no other better way?"

"Yes, I have a method, maybe it can be done." Han Yue, who had never spoken much at such a time, said suddenly.

"What way?" Everyone turned to look at him and asked.

"I had contacted the Han people in the city years ago and wanted them to be of use to me. As long as we can put enough pressure on them this time and make them feel desperate, they will naturally think of taking refuge in us." Han Yue slowly expressed his calculations.

"There is still such a thing? Well, let's try it like this. Order the army to step up the offensive, so as to force the Han people to take refuge!" Beigong Boyu, who had lost his mind for the time being, made a decision immediately.

The Han army guarding the city would never have thought that the real threat to them was not the still majestic Qiang army outside the city, but their own people beside them. Maybe this was the trouble for Xiao Qiang?
