The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() On the official road connecting the various counties in Xiliang, two armies and horses met unexpectedly.Those who came from the east were the vanguard of the Liangzhou government army led by Cheng Qiu, while those who came from the west were the vanguard of the rebel army.When the scouts of both sides found the enemy's track and hurriedly reported to the rear team, the two armies were no more than five miles apart, and they could almost see each other's team.

Immediately, the two armies immediately stopped their advance and took up positions urgently.There were not many pioneers on the two fronts, Cheng Qiu had only 3000 troops, and the chaos army over there was less than [-], so soon, the two sides opened up their battles and were about to fight head-on.

At this time, Cheng Qiu had already slapped his horse to the front of the team, looking around, his eyes could not hide his anger.Because he suddenly realized that the enemy in front of him was actually wearing the armor of the Han army, and these people were clearly the officers and soldiers of the Han army who surrendered to the rebel army in Jincheng County!Unexpectedly, as soon as these talents surrendered, they would immediately turn their guns and attack him. How could he bear it?

In anger, Cheng Qiuquan slapped his horse to meet him regardless of his own safety. The left and right guards were unprepared for a while, and they didn't react until he rushed a certain distance. After a safe journey, they came to a place within a stone's throw of the chaos army.

Those rebels who were waiting in line were also surprised when they saw Cheng Qiu rushing towards him, but for some reason, they didn't kill them immediately, and no one shot arrows to hurt anyone, they just watched him approaching in a daze.The vanguard of this chaotic army was indeed composed of soldiers from Jincheng County. The general was called Peng Yi, who was also a former general of the Han army.At this time, when he saw Cheng Qiu who seemed familiar suddenly rushing towards him, he didn't know how to react for a while.

"General, it's dangerous, don't go any further!" At this moment, the soldiers guarding Cheng Qiu rushed up and stood in front of him, persuading him, "We'd better go back to the army and prepare for a battle!"

"Get out of the way!" Cheng Qiu was unmoved, and with a cold face, he pulled the two people in front of him away, took another step, and then shouted: "Tell your general to come out and talk to me!" The rebellious army over there said it.

Peng Yi didn't come out as he said, and he felt very ashamed, but he didn't dare to come out and confront Cheng Qiu just like that.And the other soldiers of the rebellion also showed strange expressions on their faces, none of them dared to step forward.

But the officers and soldiers behind Cheng Qiu and the others didn't know what to do when they saw their leader suddenly running to the front.They were not ordered by the general, so naturally they did not dare to kill him, not to mention worrying about Cheng Qiu's safety.At this moment, the hostile troops fell into a weird scene, they just spread out, but they didn't fight together.

Cheng Qiu swept through the chaotic army, saw that no one came out to talk to him, he already had a judgment in his heart, and immediately said loudly: "Since you refuse to come out to talk to me, it proves that you still have a sense of shame and know that what you have done is wrong. How despicable! And you!" As he spoke, he pointed the horsewhip in his hand at the thousands of rebels in front of him: "You all ask yourself, are your actions worthy of the court's cultivation over the years?

"You people were originally the defenders of my great man, and received the food and salaries of the court. You were supposed to protect our borders and defend our people. But now, you actually surrendered those rebellious Qiang people like this. Think about it, is this worthy of your ancestors, worthy of the trust of the previous imperial court? Now you are not only not ashamed of it, but instead turn around and attack our Liangzhou border, you are really in vain!"

Every word of Cheng Qiu was heard clearly in the ears of these sergeants, and most of them could understand the simple words, which really made them feel ashamed, and all of them were humbled. He turned his head away, not daring to meet Cheng Qiu's eyes.Even the general Peng Yi couldn't say anything to encourage the morale of the army at this time, which made the morale of the vanguard of the rebellious army drop to the bottom.

Sensing the depression of the chaotic army on the opposite side, Cheng Qiu said again: "Now I only give you one last chance, whether to lay down your weapons and abandon the dark and turn to the bright, or be wiped out by our army and end up in ruins, you choose!"

The rebellious army suddenly struggled in their hearts. They didn't know if they would still have a foothold when they went back, but they really didn't have the courage to fight Cheng Qiu's team again, and they fell into a dilemma for a while.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Cheng Qiu didn't say any more, and turned around to go back.After returning to his own formation, he immediately ordered: "Beat the drum and attack!" He wanted to defeat the chaotic army on the opposite side in one go.

With the sound of drums, the three thousand officers and soldiers moved forward in neat steps, with a sense of momentum.Under such circumstances, the rebellious army had no desire to fight, and some people even retreated involuntarily.Although the chaotic army has the upper hand in terms of strength, but in terms of momentum, they are completely suppressed.

"Kill!" With a burst of yelling, the officers and soldiers rushed forward.The rebellious army was startled for a moment, and then retreated in a panic. The 5000 men and horses were defeated at the touch of a touch, and the rebellious army fled in all directions, in a panic.

There was no joy on Cheng Qiu's face, he just sighed, and then said to a messenger beside him: "Report the news of the victory in the first battle to the commander. I will continue to lead the army westward, and within a few days we will be able to The Golden City has been recovered!"

?????????

"Okay, that's great! These rebels are just as I expected, they are all mobs. Our heavenly soldiers are everywhere, so naturally we will be defeated!" After receiving the news of the victory ahead, Geng Bi laughed loudly, and then turned his gaze away. A group of generals kneeling below: "What, are you still worried that our military strength is not as good as those thieves? Are you still thinking about letting me lead the army back and stick to it?"

All the generals below did not answer his words, but there were still a few people whose faces were not very good-looking, and they were still full of worries, among them was Ma Teng.But at this time, they dare not speak out their true thoughts. After all, the facts are in front of them, and the striker's victory is enough to explain everything.

"The commander-in-chief is very right. Since we have won the first victory, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it. We should quickly defeat those thieves and regain my hometown of Liangzhou!" A general echoed afterwards.

"That's right, that's exactly how it should be. Now spread the news of our vanguard army's great victory to the army, let every sergeant know that we will win soon to boost morale!" Geng Bi was very satisfied with such a response, Immediately made a decision: "Starting tomorrow, the army is advancing at full speed. I want to completely quell this Qiang rebellion within this year. You all go prepare!"

"...Yes!" After being stunned for a moment, all the generals had no choice but to surrender, but some people were even more worried.

Watching the generals leave, Geng Bi's eyes fell on Ma Teng among them: "Hmph, once the chaos is successfully put down this time, it's time to settle the grievances between you and me. I don't know about Han Yue's friendship with you." So, this is the best excuse to put you to death!" Thinking in his heart, there was already a trace of murderous look in his eyes.

The reaction of the sergeants was just as Geng Bi had imagined. When they learned that the vanguard had won a great victory, the sergeants were greatly encouraged, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the pace of advancement became more determined. Everyone was full of optimism for this battle. .But all this fell into Ma Yue's eyes, but it made him feel heavy in his heart. He knew that the more this happened, the more the whole army underestimated the enemy. When it came time to fight the enemy, the situation would be bad.

In their own camp, Ma Yue once again expressed his worries: "Father, in this way, the possibility of our army's failure will increase by a few points. If Geng Bi is allowed to go his own way, the tens of thousands People and horses are in danger. And once the six county officials are defeated by the rebels, the people of Liangzhou may also suffer disaster. We must find ways to avoid this from happening."

Ma Teng smiled bitterly: "Now Geng Bi has been completely blinded by Xiao Sheng, no matter what we say, he will not accept it. What's more, there is still a grudge between me and him, and it is even more difficult to persuade him The only thing we can expect now is that the rebels are really as vulnerable as he said, otherwise..."

"It's almost impossible, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sweep across several counties in just a few months." Ma Yue shook his head and said, but these are not enough to change the established policy of the army.

When Ma Teng went to rectify the military affairs so that the army could move faster, Ma Yue expressed his worries to his brother Ma Chao again.Ma Chao has some innate ability in military affairs, and after listening to his analysis, he also thinks it is true: "Such aggressiveness is indeed very harmful to our army. But with our identities, I am afraid that we can't change all this at all?"

Ma Yue's face slowly sank, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's not that things have turned around, but it requires us to do something we shouldn't do and take a big risk."

"How?" Ma Chao immediately became interested and asked.

"Kill Geng Bi! Once the commander-in-chief of the three armies is killed, the morale of the army will be in chaos. Naturally, our army will no longer be able to fight the enemy. Then, we can retreat back to Long County, and Xu Tu will plan later."

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard his brother propose such a way to draw the bottom line, and was speechless for a while.

At the same time, in a tent of the official army company, a tall general also clenched his fists: "In order for my father-in-law to be reused by the court, Geng Bi's battle must end in failure! I will Take a risk, kill him, and there will be no problem!"

"Then father-in-law can rest assured, there is absolutely no room for mistakes in this matter." It was Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and military adviser who spoke to the big man. He came to conspire with Niu Fu himself to make the army fail!

"However, it's too hasty to arrange for people to assassinate him, and make it sure that nothing will happen. It's better to do it tomorrow." Niu Fu said again immediately.

"Well... now the army has arrived near Lintao, and they will probably set up camp outside the city tomorrow. I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble to my father-in-law." Li Ru said worriedly.But soon, he agreed to this approach: "I can't take care of too much now, so I will do it tomorrow night!"

And outside the company battalion of the Han army, a few black shadows were also lurking watching here. These people were all armed with weapons, and there was a trace of murderous intent in their eyes. Just by looking at their figures, one could guess that they were definitely not Han sergeant.

Geng Bi never imagined in his wildest dreams that when Pioneer won the victory and he was complacent, his own death time had already arrived!
