Chapter 17 All the way to the east

……

In the sixth year of Jianxing, the third day of April.

The sky is blue and misty and the rain is about to fall, and the earth is yellow and yellow, and the spring breeze suddenly rises.

In the narrow, tortuous, slightly muddy and sticky-footed Chencang Weishui River Valley, an army with tough qualities and a resolute face is slumping forward and striding forward.

"faster."

"Quicker."

"Rush to the city of Chang'an within three days, everyone deserves a great credit!"

Wearing a light helmet, Ma Su stood upright on a high stone platform beside the river, holding a sword hilt in one hand and pointing directly to the east with the other, as if an immortal guiding the way, constantly urging everyone to move forward.

Behind him, the three generals looked at me and you, hesitating to speak.

Li Sheng and Zhang Xiu glanced at each other, the former pouted at the latter, and the latter gently pushed the back of the guard captain Xu Shen with his shoulder.

Xu Shen took a step forward and asked bravely, "General, are you really going to attack Chang'an?"

Are you really kidding me?
"That's right!" Ma Di nodded decisively, standing still on the spot.

"Just 5000 people?" Xu Shen asked again.

"That's right!"

Ma Di glanced sideways at Xu Shen, a man in Guanzhong, and patiently explained: "Actually, 5000 people would have thought it was a bit too much."

"In this general's deduction, 3000 people are enough to take down Chang'an and make an indelible contribution!"

Hearing this, Xu Shen hurriedly turned his head and exchanged glances with his two colleagues, both of them saw panic, panic, and a trace of suppressed excitement on each other's faces.

For the past three days, the three of them have been worrying about the rationality of the decision to "attack Chang'an with 5000 men".

They all suspected that they had heard it wrong.

That is Chang'an, an important town in the west where Cao Rui, the Emperor of the Wei Kingdom, sits!

The "Ziwu Valley Strange Conspiracy" presented by General Wei Yan also asked to bring 1 people there. We only have 5000 people, and we just go there with such a swagger...?

Although it was an honor to participate in the military operation to attack Chang'an, everyone felt a little excited, feeling that the day of becoming famous may be today.

or tomorrow.

But there is more fear and despair in my heart.

Our group of recruits, He Wuhe Yong, can undertake such a difficult task!

Are we fit?

Also, you are leading everyone to die openly, General Ma!

At first, Li Sheng, Zhang Xiu, and Xu Shen all had serious doubts about this decision, thinking that Ma Di was just joking with them.

Maybe when the army walked three hundred miles to the east of Shangyu City and headed for the fork in Hanzhong... General Ma Su would lead everyone to turn around and go south, and retreat back to Hanzhong in a hurry.

But now, they panic.

The army has traveled more than 700 miles, and has already passed the fork, and the marching direction has not changed.

All the way to the east, straight to Chang'an City.

In fact, since passing through the Hanzhong Fork, the hearts of the three have been beating very fast.

Bang bang bang non-stop.

However, any general with a slightly normal head would not be able to make the decision to march more than 5000 miles to attack Chang'an with only 1000 people.

What a rash decision!What a fool!What absurdity!
However, three days later, the army had approached more than 700 miles in the Weishui River Valley, and the marching direction was always the same.

It is Chang'an.

The surprise attack on Chang'an was not a big deal to ordinary soldiers of the Shu army.They are uneducated and do not realize whether the trip is dangerous or not.

Because they have been brutally indoctrinated with the idea of ​​"obeying orders" since the first day they were soldiers.

To disobey is to die.

Therefore, they only look at the main general, as long as the main general dares to charge first, even if there is an abyss ahead, they dare to follow behind and give it a try.

They are so ignorant and fearless.

But for Li Sheng, Zhang Xiu, and Xu Shen, who had some culture and knowledge, their hearts were completely blown up and they were in a mess.

Not to mention anything else, Cao Zhen, the governor of Wei, is leading an army to attack Hanzhong at this moment. If the 5000 people in front of us arrive at Chencang City, it happens that the Wei army is withdrawing from Chencang Road...

That scene, just thinking about it, makes people shudder.

Cao Zhen's [-] troops may not be able to compete head-on with Prime Minister Zhuge in Chencang Road, but it is enough to easily kill them, a group of [-] "new recruits" who have only won two battles on the Guanzhong Plain.

Not to mention, Wei Jun, who had been teased by Zhao Yun's suspects for more than half a month, was now furious and desperately needed a punching bag to vent his anger.

If it hits the opponent's knife...

How to do?
How can we change General Ma's decision to take everyone to die?
Just when the three of them were unsure, Ma Di said, "Aren't you afraid that the three of you look like this?"

While speaking, Ma Su slightly pulled out the sword at his waist, looked around the three of them with mocking eyes, and said with a sneer:

"Everyone is mortal."

"If it can't be vigorous."

"What's the difference between that and salted fish?!"

"You three, whoever doesn't want to go can make it clear, I will never force you, and I will send you out of this place immediately..."

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard the words, Xu Shen was the first to say: "The general is serious? I..."

"I think……"

"I want to leave..."

Before Xu Shen could finish speaking, Zhang Xiu and Li Sheng rushed to express their views.

With a big wave of his hand, Ma Di interrupted the conversation of the three, drew out his long sword, aimed at a tree with a thick arm and a crooked neck next to the boulder, and chopped it down with his hand.

Cang——

The crooked neck tree snapped off, and the incision was smooth.

What a fast sword... The three of them gasped.

Ma Di glanced at the three of them expressionlessly, and continued, "Who wants to leave, who wants to stay?"

The three of them quickly exchanged glances and reached a consensus in an instant. Xu Shen quickly replaced the three words that came to his lips with "I want to stay".

Zhang Xiu followed closely behind and said the word "stay" without thinking, with sincere and firm eyes.

Holding a long sword in his hand, Ma Di stared at Li Sheng closely, and said in a very unkind tone, "Do you want to leave?"

Li Sheng was speechless for a while.

He spoke quickly just now, spewing out the three words "I want to leave", and suddenly he couldn't turn the corner.

Facing the aggressive Ma Di, Li Sheng hesitated and said: "I want to be closer to you, General."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Sheng gasped for breath, almost collapsed, his forehead was wet and crystal clear.

For a moment, he felt that he would die under Ma Di's sword.

Fortunately, the tragedy did not happen.

The soldiers are still harmonious, brothers and friends are respectful.

"Very good." Ma Di nodded: "Since everyone has the same goal, then the plan to attack Chang'an needs to be discussed carefully."

"Li Sheng, how do you think we should attack Chang'an?"

Li Sheng swallowed his saliva, wiped his forehead: "General, the last general has not studied for a few days, so he doesn't know military strategy, and he doesn't know how to attack Chang'an."

At this time, the strong wind slowed down slightly, and there was no other sound in the valley except the dense footsteps of the soldiers.

There was a chilling atmosphere all around.

All three of them frowned in thought.

Zhang Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suggested: "General, according to the general, it is better to take advantage of his unpreparedness and sneak attack on Chencang."

"The last general has heard that Chencang City is located in a dangerous place, and the city defenses are strong. If we steal this city, our army will be invincible. Either attack Chang'an, or return to Hanzhong, it depends on the situation."

As soon as these words came out, Li Sheng and Xu Shen suddenly felt that this was a good idea.

Chang'an is too difficult to fight, Chen Cang can give it a try.

If the difficulty of attacking Chang'an is one hundred, then the difficulty of attacking Chencang is ninety.

Moreover, if the attack method is changed to sneak attack, the difficulty will be fifty at most.

The lesser of the two evils.

Normal people know how to choose.

Thinking of this, in order to dispel Ma Su's decision to attack Chang'an (take everyone to die), Li Sheng immediately patted his chest and said: "General, if you attack Chen Cang, the general will be willing to be the vanguard in the front and go to the city to kill the enemy!"

"General, the last general is also willing to be the vanguard!"

"General, so do I!"

Zhang Xiu and Xu Shen also expressed their attitudes successively.

If you attack Chencang, we are all willing to fight to the death; if you attack Chang'an, General Ma Di, please remember to collect the corpse for us.

If you survive, General...

Ma Di was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately made a decision: "Good!"

"Just attack Chencang!"

 Thanks: Gu Yue, savages also read books, it took a lot of effort to name it, and the monthly pass as a gift!
