Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2161 Heart scattered

Authority is a heavy tool. Since it is heavy, you need to have some strength in yourself to be able to pick it up, and you must be able to play with it. Not everyone can do it. If you don’t have enough strength , of course, this strength is not only physical strength, but also intelligence, so not only will you not be able to enjoy the benefits brought by authority, but you will be hurt by authority.

   It's just that in this world, there are always people who think they can play with power, but they forget that he is not the only one in this world...

  The world is not centered on a certain person. The sooner you realize this, the more objective you will be, and the more you will be able to gain an advantage in certain things.

  When Wei Duan realized that he could not replace Pang Tong's with his own, but had to consider the problem from Pang Tong's point of view, he discovered a fatal oversight in his own previous thinking.

  Stay safe at home, on the one hand, you can protect the family as much as possible, and on the other hand, you can also explain that you have not participated in the current riots among the three assistants in Chang'an, which is very reasonable.

   But the problem is that this rationality is Wei Duan's "reasonable", not Pang Tong's "reasonable", nor is it the "reasonable" of General Hussars.

If Wei Duan was an outsider, there would be no problem doing this, just like when he had not held any important positions before, Fei Qian was assassinated in Chang'an City, and then he encountered rangers making trouble, etc., that At that time, Wei Duan guarded the door tightly and did not come out behind closed doors, so there was no problem at all.

   Well, it cannot be said that there is no problem at all, but the problem is not too big.

   But not now, things have changed...

   Wei Duan is currently the head of the Senate!

Although it is still an uncertain question how much authority the Senate has, but at least the title is held high there, and Wei Duan's entire family has also benefited from having this title, so now if Wei Duan The end continues to be closed...

  In the field, or as a small official, you can stay behind closed doors, but as the head of the Senate, you should not, and you must not close the door of your own house, and then act as if you can’t see or hear anything!

  What is the Senate? In name, it is still in charge of the institution that consults the laws of the Han Dynasty, and as the functional leader of such an institution, when facing the current turmoil in Chang'an Sanfu, if he pretends to know nothing, what does it mean?

  Wei Duan was sweating from anxiety, but he couldn't rush, because the whole of Chang'an was under martial law, and soldiers with bows and crossbows stood on the high platforms on both sides of the street. Wei Duan could even feel that someone was aiming at him with a bow and crossbow, which made his back feel sore and numb. He wanted to scratch it, but he was afraid that the movement would cause misunderstanding...

Walk for a section, stop for a section, report, report, and continue to move forward. Originally, it only took a stick of incense to reach the distance, but Wei Duan walked for less than half an hour, until he finally arrived at the mansion of General Hushi At that time, he saw Ma Yan standing on the square in armor, and then suddenly remembered, no wonder why so many soldiers suddenly appeared near Chang'an, on the one hand, it was patrol inspection, and on the other hand, the military academy was more important!

These military academy soldiers usually practice and study in Xianyang Plain, and generally rarely appear in the public's field of vision, so Wei Duan suddenly realized that there is such a military column, let alone Even the children of ordinary gentry who don't know if there is a military academy.

  Of course, Wei Duan still doesn’t know that Jia Xu from Longyou has sent many soldiers here...

  『I have seen General Ma...』 Wei Duan saluted Ma Yan. If this had been put before, Wei Duan would not have flirted with a martial artist at all, but the current situation is involuntary, and he must bow his head when he should.

  Ma Yan arched his hands slightly to express his return, and then he still stood in front of the government office, ignoring Wei Duan.

  『Hehe, I have seen Yuanzheng...but why did Yuanzheng delay? It came so slowly..." A half figure appeared on the porch of the general's mansion, and a sentence floated, "But I don't know how important it is..."

   Wei Duan turned his head to look, but it was a kind of jerk.

   Wei Duan cursed secretly in his heart, and was about to speak, but another figure came out, "Brother Wei's family has a big business, so naturally it will take some time to deal with it..."

  "Li Xiandi..." Wei Duan's beard trembled, "Why are you here?" 』

  『My little brother was at Muxiu... When I encountered this, I naturally went to the hussars to listen to orders...' Li Yuan said with a smile, 'I thought I would see Brother Wei when I got here, but I didn't expect to wait for a long time...』

  Wei Duan couldn't help feeling that he had a toothache. He took a breath, changed the subject and said, "Have you ever seen Mr. Pang Ling?" 』What I said was that I was late, no amount of explanations could change this fact, and it made people feel that I was looking for all kinds of reasons to quibble, and I simply changed the topic and avoided talking about it.

  『Hehe...not yet...』 Zhong Jie smiled, and didn't mean to chase after him. He retreated into the shadow of the porch and stopped talking. Now that Wei Duan has arrived, arriving early is an attitude, and arriving late is also an attitude. It will be fine if you point it out. It makes people feel lost, even if Wei Duan falls, I'm afraid it won't be his turn.

  Li Yuan was still smiling, beckoning Wei Duan to come over and stand together, "Pang Lingjun is busy, so I haven't summoned you yet...but...it's about the same..."

  Li Yuan glanced at the sky, and there was already some light.

   Wei Duan jumped in his heart, turned his head to look, and then realized something, broke out in a cold sweat, and then felt a little lucky...

  …(O_o)?! …

  The darkness before dawn is often the deadliest time.

  Even if it is the deepest dream, it is time to wake up at dawn. If you can wake up naturally, you will probably only have a little regret, but if you are awakened halfway, then the dream may become a nightmare.

  『The suppression is over? ’Ma Yue asked.

  The military lord behind Ma Yue should be clapping his hands, in the battle armor on his body, there is still some blood dripping down the gap of the battle armor.

  『After investigation of more than a hundred thieves, all of them have been killed now! Is it necessary to hang the head above the gate? 』Junhou was full of murderous looks, and his tone was also faintly smug.

  It is not easy for a military marquis to go up one level. Now that there are more than a hundred levels of heads, the hope of going up one step is naturally greater.

Tongguan was originally a pass, mainly based on military garrison. After receiving Pang Tong's order, Ma Yue had already launched a campaign against the pass before the rebel army came. Zuo Fengyi's ambush staff thought that his family had been exposed. , and there is no way to obtain timely news like later generations, or be killed under stubborn resistance, or surrender and be captured.

  By the time these rebels arrived, Tongguan had already been cleaned up and down.

According to the original plan of the rebellious army, it was to lure Ma Yue to lead the troops out first, and then the people lurking in Tongguan could take the opportunity to attack, and then Ma Yue and others were bound to be in chaos when the future was unknown and the way back was cut off. At that time, naturally, it didn't take much effort to defeat Ma Yue in one fell swoop and seize Tongguan.

   And now...

  『No hurry...』Ma Yue looked at it and closed it.

  The reason why Ma Yue didn't deal with the thieves in Tongguan was not because Ma Yue looked down on those leaders, but because there was a bigger piece of meat in front of him...

  Outside of Tongguan, the Yang family, Ma family and others were eagerly looking forward to it, but there was no news in Tongguan. They waited from midnight to dawn, and did not wait for the situation they wanted.

Many people in the rebellious army have been tossing all night, and they are already exhausted. After setting up a camp, although there are orders to wait, but when the Sandman comes, there is nothing these guys can contend with. Anyway, it’s okay to sleep by yourself, as long as others insist on it, and then they all went to sleep one by one.

   So that after Ma Yue solved the internal problems in Tongguan, he quietly assembled his troops, opened the gate of Tongguan and sent three formations to attack the camp of the rebellious army. Most of these guys were still asleep...

  Ma Yue ordered to rush into the camp of the rebel army in the shortest possible time, and deal a devastating blow to the sleeping rebel army. He also assigned a hundred rangers to roam around the periphery, chasing and killing some sporadic fleeing people.

  When the deafening sound of horseshoes sounded, these disorderly troops were still in a daze, unable to even subconsciously defend.

   Ma Yue and the others rushed out of the darkness like ghosts and gods!

Although a large part of the rebellious army were county soldiers, as well as private soldiers who had received certain basic training, the quality of such soldiers could not be compared with the professional soldiers under the hussars, not to mention the chaotic leadership of the rebellious army. , Although there are a lot of things like captains and captains, false names can't make the strength increase in the same way. On the contrary, because each family is a captain and captain, orders are chaotic and unable to coordinate and unify.

  Yang Shuo was awakened, and then he let out a scream like he had been stabbed in a chrysanthemum, shrill and creepy, "Someone robbed the camp!" The camp was robbed..."

   This is a massacre.

  One side is the long-planned, fierce and experienced hunter, and the other side is the prey immersed in sleep.

Ma Yue has been training cavalry in Yinshan for so many years, so he is naturally very good at directing such small-scale raids. The galloping cavalry broke through the fortifications of the rebel camps with the fastest speed, and then rushed into the rebellion camps In the midst of this, the entire queue took turns to intersperse, drive, and surround the chaos army camp in units of small groups.

The hussars were extremely fast, which made it difficult for the rebellious army to adapt. Often they were just preparing to fight against the group in front of them, and then the group behind them killed their own flanks. The camp of the army quickly fell into chaos, it seemed that there was fighting everywhere, there were screams everywhere, coupled with the sound of hooves of war horses and the clash of weapons, it became more and more difficult for these chaotic troops to distinguish where they were. Where is he, and which direction should he go, which side is the enemy and which side is his own.

  The rebellious army tried every means to get Ma Yue and others out of the city, and even deliberately built the camp to be full of flaws, but they didn't expect that when the real Ma Yue came out, they couldn't hold it back!

Originally swearing and confident, the people of the Ma family stared at Tongguan eagerly. They were in ecstasy, feeling that their strategy had finally succeeded, and then they waited anxiously for a rebellion to break out in Tongguan, so they could fight back and take Tongguan in one fell swoop. , but I didn't expect it to be quiet in Tongguan, as if laughing at them silently...

  Then Ma Yue and other hussars had their swords and guns raised before their eyes!

   The disorder and chaos of the rebellious army eventually led to the last disaster of the rebellious army.

  Although part of the rebel army resisted Ma Yue and others, it was useless. More rebels blew up the battalion and fled in all directions. Some in a daze even bumped into the horseshoes of Ma Yue and the others, and were directly trampled and kicked by the galloping horses, which was horrible.

The camp was extremely chaotic, and the soldiers of the rebellious army didn't know how to listen to the captain and captain, and those newly promoted captains and captains couldn't find their own soldiers, so they had to fight on their own. Before the soldiers knew what had happened, they were cut down to the ground and died unexpectedly.

  Ma Yue's spear seemed to have eyes. It was extremely sharp in the dark night, fast, accurate and ruthless, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the rebellious army on the road in front of them one by one.

Except for the six scumbags like Fei Qian, most of the military generals look at the surrounding environment. If there are a group of mediocre fighters around them, even one or two masters will gradually be pulled down to their original level. , and if there are all strong players around, then the originally weaker side will be promoted unconsciously.

When Ma Yue was in Yinshan at the beginning, he partnered with Zhao Yun for quite a long time. Naturally, the martial arts competition between the two people was indispensable. Ma Yue, who used Zhao Yun as a benchmark as his opponent, immediately discovered these chaotic troops in front of him. It's like a herd of cattle and sheep, even worse than cattle and sheep.

  Cows and sheep know how to hide, these guys don't even know how to hide...

The hussars galloped back and forth, waving their spears and knives like the wind, the heads and stumps of the rebels flying, blood spraying everywhere, wolves running around, crying for their father and mother, all scurrying about like headless flies. Human slaughter.

   Ma Yue quickly lost his ability to slaughter ordinary rebellious troops, and began to look for more valuable targets in the battlefield, and soon found Yang Shuo and others.

  After Yang Shuo was awakened before, his first thought was that he was robbed, and his second thought was to run away. When Yang Shuo sneaked out from the back of the tent, he saw that the rebel army had no power to fight back, and was almost massacred all at once, which made him lose all his courage and hurried away. Fleeing, and then turned around and suddenly found that Ma Shi's people were also running away.

  Yang Shuo: "..."

  The original plan of the Ma family was ideal, wonderful, and even comprehensive to a certain extent. First, it caused chaos around Linjin, and then the county magistrate in Linjin County was one of his own people, and then he also controlled the Jingshan military stronghold. As long as Tongguan was opened, he could hook up with the Hongnong Yang family and make further use of it. The secret way captured Hangu Pass, and then joined Cao Cao, and then stabilized...

   But right now Ma Yue slapped him unceremoniously, causing the Ma family to lose their head and cry for their parents. However, no matter how reluctant he is, when faced with the current situation, the people of the Ma family can only run away, because he knows that once he is caught by Ma Yue, he will definitely die an ugly death, so the people of the Ma family People quickly found Zhao Qilang, and then fled while the camp was in chaos.

When Yang Shuo saw Ma Yue rushing forward, he was so frightened that his soul flew away. Then, at the very moment, he had an idea and jumped off the horse. "there! He is the one in charge! 』

Ma Yue looked in the direction pointed by Yang Shuo, and saw that there seemed to be some people guarding someone, so he shook the spear, passed the point of the spear, and then pulled Yang Shuo to the ground with one blow, "Tie up! ’ Then he turned his horse’s head and chased in the direction where Ma’s men were fleeing.

  What is connected together because of interests will often be separated because of interests.

  When the members of the Ma family fled, they thought that Yang Shuo would be more obvious and would attract Ma Yue's attention, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Shuo, as a child of the Hongnong Yang family, would beg for surrender regardless of face!

If Yang Shuo is the son of Hongnong Yang's main family, he might hesitate, but it is a pity that Yang Shuo is just a side branch of the Yang family, and because Yang Shuo has been running around all the year round, doing business, he has long been contaminated A businessman who is accustomed to seeing that there is no profit at the moment, immediately cuts his flesh and leaves, at least to save his own life, how can he make the people of the Ma family happy?

  So the people of the Ma family were forced to face Ma Yue's getting closer and closer pursuit...

  『Lieutenant Zhao, no, General Zhao! The Ma family turned their heads and hurriedly shouted to Zhao Qilang, "General Zhao quickly led people to intercept this thief. On the day when XX turns around, I will never forget General Zhao's meritorious deeds!" 』

Zhao Qilang originally brought out one or two hundred cavalry from the barracks, but he couldn't get in under Linjin City. It was already somewhat cold water, and then he followed Ma's people to Tongguan. To the school lieutenant, and now I hear that I have become a general again. This series of three-level jumps is naturally very cool, but no matter how cool it is, there is life, so it is cool. If they all turn into four petals, it is considered a temporary No matter how cool it is, what use will it be in the future?

  Besides, after the previous impulsiveness, Zhao Qilang felt that what Ma Shi said before was so unreliable...

First he said that there was no problem with Linjin, then there was a problem with Linjin, and later he said that it would be okay to get through Tongguan. Tongguan must be fine, but now it has become like this. Is that monkey playing?

Zhao Qilang glanced at the Ma family, and then turned his head to look at the horses chasing closer and closer. He quickly assessed the current situation and found that although both sides were riding horses, it was obvious that the riding skills of the horse was better. Well, the horse needs to be stronger and faster. If there is no accident, after one or two sticks of incense, it will probably be overtaken!

  But if you really turn around and fight back to fight for your life...

  Don't be kidding, Zhao Qilang's "sacrifice his life to gain wealth" is just an adjective, and he hasn't really wanted to turn this into a verb!

  『Zhao! Will! military! Seeing this, the people of the Ma family guessed a little bit, and couldn't help gnashing their teeth and shouting, "Don't forget Lin Jinnei's wife and children!" 』

  Zhao Qilang was taken aback for a moment, then glared at him angrily, and then suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and twisted his waist, and slashed at Ma Shi's man!

  The Ma family screamed and dodged in a hurry, but they didn't completely dodge. A **** mouth was drawn, and they fell off the horse with a scream! Ma Shi's guard obviously didn't expect such a situation, screamed suddenly, and hurriedly circled to grab Ma Shi.

Zhao Qilang whistled, and led the people to run away, because he knew that Ma Yue was not chasing and killing him, and he and Ma's people were not in a master-servant relationship, they were just using each other, and the catastrophe was imminent. Naturally, it's one shot and two parts!

Sure enough, Ma Yue paid more attention to Ma Shi's son, and swept in like a strong wind, knocking Ma Shi's guards to pieces. After successfully capturing Ma Shi, he turned his head to look at Zhao Qilang and others, and disappeared into the night in the middle...
