Chapter 358 The battle started, who is the oriole ([-])

Lizu was the only city Ma Teng occupied in Wuwei County.

The reason why Dong Bi didn't occupy Li Zu was not because he didn't want to occupy it, but because Li Zu was hanging alone outside the Hexi Corridor, in the southeast of Queyin, adjacent to the four counties of Anding, Hanyang, Longxi, and Jincheng. Even if he occupied it, it would be no good.

And Ma Teng occupied Li Zu, which also made many big families in Wuwei County still have some hope in their hearts.

It has entered June, and the temperature in Liangzhou is very high.

Jia He rode his horse to the front of the Lizu Mansion's yamen, and just as he jumped off his horse and was about to go in, he saw a person hastily coming out from inside.

"Young master, you are..."

"Ah, sir!"

The person who came was Ma Teng's second son, Ma Tie.

Ma Tie is 21 years old this year. He looks like Zhongqi, with white teeth and red lips. He is handsome and unrestrained, quite like his older brother Ma Chao.

Jia He always felt guilty because of Ma Chao's death.

Whenever I see Ma Tie, I always have an illusion: Ma Chao is alive!

Sighing in his heart, Jia He said with a smile: "Zhong Qi, you are in such a hurry, where are you planning to go?"

"Sir, my father has made up his mind and is preparing to mobilize troops to surprise Queyin."

"what?"

Jia Hewen couldn't help being startled. As Ma Teng's military adviser, he had only been away from Li Zu for a few days, and this kind of thing happened?Earlier, Ma Teng was always hesitant to send troops to attack Queyin.Because Xu Rong, the prefect of Wuwei, was extremely sophisticated in using troops, Ma Teng attacked Queyin several times, but Xu Rong beat him to the point where he was forced to withdraw his troops.

Why is it that you are going to hit the yin all of a sudden?
Just as Jia He was about to ask, he saw that Ma Tie had already stepped on his horse.

"Sir, you will know as soon as you go in...Father is in the study, and I still have military affairs, so Shu Zhongqi will go ahead."

After finishing speaking, Ma Tie whipped his horse and galloped away.

Jia He walked into the government office, and saw people hurrying in the government office, which seemed to be a busy scene.

At the door of the study, a young general stood holding his sword.

"Uncle Meng, are you in good health?"

The young general was Ma Kui's son Ma Dai, who was as old as Ma Tie, and his nickname was Uncle Meng.After Dian Wei captured Queyin and killed Ma Kui, Ma Dai was shot by Sha Moke and fell into the ditch, which saved his life.

It's just that the injury is very serious. After finding Ma Teng, he has been recovering from his illness.

Seeing Ma Dai personally guarding the door of the study, Jia He knew that this matter must be serious.

Ma Dai bowed and said softly: "Sir, uncle has orders. You don't need to report when you come, just go in."

Jia He nodded and walked into the study.

I saw Ma Teng standing in front of a map of Hexi, with his back to the door, as if he was thinking about something.

"Lord!"

"Ah, Uncle Wen, you are finally back!"

Ma Teng turned around abruptly, with a slight smile on his gloomy face, but it seemed that the smile was unnatural.

It's no wonder that Ma Teng's life has not been easy in recent years.

The power of the Dong Clan in the Western Regions is getting stronger and stronger, and it is also suffering unspeakably for stability to be harassed by Shuofang.

Wu has Su Gu, and Sanfu has Li Guo.Although Ma Teng controls the four counties of Liangzhou, he is actually an empty shell.

The population of Longxi in Jincheng was wiped out by Dong Bi.

Although it has undergone several years of adjustments, it is not half of what it was in the early years.

Encountered by several parties, Ma Teng urgently needs a space to maneuver.He set his sights on Hexi, but he was still unable to break through Queyin.Only in his 40s, his temples have turned gray and his face looks particularly old.

After seeing Ma Teng, Jia He said softly, "My lord, I heard that you are going to send troops?"

"Exactly!"

Ma Teng walked to the desk with a smile, picked up a letter and handed it to Jia He, saying, "Uncle Wen, read this letter first."

Jia He took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.

The letter was written by a man named Zhang Meng.Speaking of Zhang Meng, his origins are not small.

His father was Zhang Huan, one of the famous Liangzhou Sanming.The Zhang family has a great reputation in the Hexi area.Zhang Meng himself was also quite talented. He had been the prefect of Wuwei in his early years, but he had only been in office for two years before Zhang Huan passed away.Zhang Meng had no choice but to resign to honor his father's filial piety. After the three-year term expired, the situation of the court changed drastically.

Zhang Meng simply quit being an official!

Relying on Zhang's prestige in Hexi, he started a business.

Before Chen Dao captured Zhangye, Zhang Meng was the biggest horse dealer in Hexi.But later, business became more and more bleak.

After Dong Bi occupied the four counties in Hexi, although the ban on horses was lifted, Zhang Meng could not intervene in it.

Therefore, in this heart, I am very dissatisfied.So he sent someone to send a letter to Ma Teng, inviting Ma Teng to cooperate and take back the four counties in Hexi.

Jia He seriously read the letter over and over again.

Ma Teng did not urge him to express his opinion, but fixed his eyes on the map, his eyes sparkling.

"My lord..."

Ma Teng turned around, "How is it, Uncle Wen? How much do you think Zhang Meng's letter is true?"

Jia He said without hesitation: "Ten percent!"

"Oh?"

"The Zhang family in Wuwei and Huangfu in Anding, these are the two most famous families in Liangzhou. After the death of Huangfusong, the prestige of the Huangfu family in Anding has dropped sharply because of the attack on the Dong family. But the reputation of the Zhang family in Wuwei No one can match him. Zhang Meng looks like a heroic warrior, but in fact he cares about every detail and is narrow-minded. Zhang Meng will definitely not agree to the Dong family cutting off his financial resources. He has been in business for many years and has connections with the Kangju North Huns , it’s not impossible.”

There was a bright smile on Ma Teng's face.

"Then I surprise Queyin, what does Uncle Wen think?"

"This one……"

Jia He frowned slightly, and said softly: "It's really hard to say. Last year, the Dong family wiped out the Western Regions. Although their strength suffered a little loss, it was not a serious injury. The Northern Huns and Kangju people may not be able to cause damage to the Western Regions." threaten."

After thinking for a while, Jia He said again: "However, Xu Rong was transferred to Shujun as the prefect, but the prefect of Wuwei is an unknown Xu Shu. I don't know what his origin is. He is a newcomer, and he also needs a period of adaptation, but it is an opportunity. "

Ma Teng's eyes were burning, "So, this is feasible?"

Jia He really wanted to say: Yes!

But in my mind, the appearance of a person appeared inadvertently.

I couldn't help but shuddered, and swallowed the words that came to my lips abruptly.

"The son of the Dong family is cunning. The lord wants to surprise Queyin, but he must act cautiously. He must be careful at every step and must not act rashly."

Ma Teng nodded, "I think so too. Seize Queyin first, then Xu Jin... I have ordered Guo Xian to raise troops from Longxi, and they will arrive at Lizu in three days to join my army. Su Gu is a clown, Li and Guo are now fighting fiercely, but Shuofang is my confidant's biggest concern...I want to ask Uncle Wen to go out and guard An Ding on my behalf, I don't know what to do?"

Keep safe!

Ma Teng had such concerns, but he was still being cleaned up.

Shuofang, now has a strong army and a strong horse.Xu Huang is skilled in using troops, while Su Ze is good at planning.In Wu there is Pan Zhang Lingcao, and in Wen there is Pang Chuan.Ma Teng did not take advantage of several confrontations with Ma Teng, and it was indeed a serious problem for Ma Teng.

Jia He pondered for a while, "Since my lord has an order, how dare I not follow? However, He Yi is a bit lonely, and I am afraid that he is not enough to take on the big responsibility. I also ask the lord to send a general to be the commander. Security is guaranteed."

Ma Teng thought for a while, "Uncle Wen thinks, who can be the coach under my command?"

"Second son Zhongqi, he can be the coach!"

"Zhong Qi?"

Jia He's recommendation was on Ma Teng's mind.

To be honest, he was unwilling to hand over his rear to a foreigner.Although Jia He is loyal, people's hearts are unpredictable in this world.In case of any mistake, he, Ma Teng, would really lose a foothold.

Ma Tie is very popular with Ma Teng.

Martial arts are high-strength, not inferior to him at all, and there is even a tendency that the blue is better than the blue.

And in the past few years, following Jia and Guo Xian, I have also learned a lot.It would be most suitable if he was there to stabilize.

"Since Mr. said so, then I will let Zhongqi guard the stability. It's just that Zhongqi is young, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he doesn't think carefully. Uncle Wen, you should give me more advice."

"He will never disappoint the high expectations of the lord!"

Jia He is not a fool, how could he fail to see what Ma Teng was thinking?
Ma Tie is indeed a very suitable candidate.Ma Teng trusted him, and for Jia He, it was also the gift of a disciple, which could save a lot of unnecessary troubles.

At that moment, the two discussed the details and decided on this matter.

Three days later, Ma Teng and Guo Xianbing joined together, and [-] elite soldiers from Xiliang marched towards Queyin in mighty strength.

On the head of Li Zucheng, Ma Tie watched the army go away, feeling very melancholy.

Couldn't help complaining: "Mr., why did you keep me? A man should make contributions on the battlefield, fight between the two battles. With Mr.'s talent, it is more than enough to guard the stability, why do you have to drag me in?" ?”

Jia He couldn't help smiling wryly in his heart!
How can this be explained?Could it be possible to say: I was afraid that your father would suspect me, so I took you to An'ing?

Moreover, Jia He always had an indescribable fear of Hexi in his heart.Not only because of Dong Bi, but also because of another person, which made him uneasy.Jia He knew how powerful that person was.In the early years, I thought that my skills were not inferior to that person, but it was only in the past two years that I realized that compared with that person, I was only second-rate.

"Second Young Master, why worry about not being able to use it? Anding is adjacent to Shuofang and Sanfu. If you want to fight, there are plenty of opportunities."

"It's just a pity that I couldn't fight that violent tiger!"

With a melancholy look on Ma Tie's face, he whispered to himself.

That expression reminded Jia He of Ma Chao.I think that when Ma Chao first entered Luoyang, when he heard that Dong Yu had gone to Shuofang, what he said, including his expression, was exactly the same as that of Ma Tie in front of him: I only regret that I failed to experience the power of the tiger and wolf general!

Later, Ma Chao learned how powerful Dong Bi was.

But the result...

Jia He really didn't want Ma Tie to follow Ma Chao's old path.That's right, today's Ma Tie may be more powerful than Ma Chao back then, but today's Paohu is probably more vicious and sophisticated than the Paohu of that year, how can it be compared?
"Second Young Master, let's get ready and go to Anding as soon as possible."

Ma Tie nodded immediately, although he was very disappointed, but out of respect for Jia He, he still nodded in agreement.

Jia He stood on the top of the wall and looked in the direction of Queyin.

But I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart: Master and Guo Xian, can they really take Queyin smoothly and take Hexi back?
------

Before the tenth, I can only guarantee one update per day.

Things might get better after the tenth.I can't explain clearly, recently my head has been so dizzy that I'm about to be annoyed to death by those inexplicable things.

Also please forgive me!
