The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

Chapter 27 The Bottom Line of a Long Night

() When asked by Ma Yue, Wang Feng and the other brothers showed a look of misery on their faces. After a long while, he said: "I am ashamed to say that the other brothers have been killed by the Qiang people. It turns out At that time, we brothers had brought a lot of trouble to the Qiang people by relying on our familiarity with the topography of Liangzhou, but then our disadvantages also appeared.

"The lack of troops is our biggest problem, and when we were discovered by the Qiang people, they set up traps one after another, which put the brothers in danger several times. Although everyone fought desperately, it was not tens of thousands The opponents of the Qiang people had to flee in all directions. Only these 30 brothers left in my branch, the fourth brother, also lost his trace in a bitter battle seven days ago. I don’t know whether it is life or death. ..."

Although his words were simple, Ma Yue could still hear the suffering and sacrifice at that time.He also couldn't help sighing: "It's my fault. If I hadn't thought of it, you wouldn't have suffered such injuries."

"Brothers don't mean to blame Mr. Ma. Even if we have never submitted to the court, we will not sit back and watch them run rampant in Liangzhou after the Qiang invasion." Wang Feng said stubbornly: "In the final analysis, we are also the children of the Han family. Even though I am doing illegal things, I don’t want my land of Liangzhou to fall into the hands of these foreigners. The harm they have caused to my Han family is unbearable for any bloody man!”

"That's right, even if we're all dead, we'll fight them to the end!" More than 30 other brothers also responded loudly, with hatred shining in everyone's eyes.And this fell in Ma Yue's eyes, besides being moved, it also made him feel a little uneasy. He vaguely guessed that some undesired things had happened.

But Ma Yue didn't ask in detail, but changed the subject: "Then why did you appear here again, just to save me? I remember that you should not be within the scope of Longxi County."

"It was true that we were not in Longxi some time ago, we came with the Qiang people." Wang Feng smiled wryly, "After the constant casualties of our brothers, we no longer had the courage to fight the Qiang people again, so we wanted to come back and fight with the army We didn’t want to be on the way, but in the middle of the night, we found a Qiang Qingqi riding in the dark, and the direction was towards Longxi.”

"Are they the Qiang cavalry who attacked our camp tonight?" Ma Yue understood the reason at that time, and asked hastily.

"Yes. But because we are very close to the Qiang people, we dare not go all out to avoid being discovered by them. We thought we would be able to warn the army in time, but we didn't expect this to be the end result. We still I failed to help the army, so the Qiang people succeeded in a sneak attack." Wang Feng said angrily.

"Later, when we found out that the officers and soldiers were defeated by the Qiang people, we didn't dare to come forward to help. It was only when we found out that these Qiang people wanted to kill you, young master, that we took action. But we didn't expect that you were in danger, young master. Fortunately, we made a move, otherwise..." Wang Feng said everything, which made Ma Yue feel emotional for a while.

Everything is impermanent, everything has a cause and effect.If he hadn't thought of sending Wang Feng and others out to harass the Qiang people, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.Of course, if this is the case, they will also become one of the officers and soldiers of the Han army who were slaughtered by the Qiang people.And Ma Yue himself, if these people did not appear in time, he would have died at the hands of the Qiang people.The transition between misfortune and blessing is really hard to define.

"Mr. Ma, what do you think we should do next?" Wang Feng then asked Ma Yue.After the previous relationship, they already had some confidence in Ma Yue's ability, and now they want him to make this decision.

"Now we have to go back to Long County first before making any plans." Ma Yue smiled wryly: "Presumably the retreating government troops will also adopt the same method. After all, the walls of Long County City are high and thick enough to withstand the attack of the Qiang rebel army."

After pondering for a while, Wang Feng accepted Ma Yue's proposal: "Then do as you said. After dawn, we will take the trail back to Long County, hoping that the officers and soldiers will still have the strength to fight."

In this regard, Ma Yue is not very sure.With Geng Bi's death, the people of the six counties will be in a state of disunity without a leader. In addition to today's defeat, it will definitely deal a huge blow to the Han army. Will they still have the courage to fight the enemy that is several times larger?But there are his own relatives in the city, and it is impossible for him to put them to death and ignore them. He has to rush back anyway, hoping to reinvigorate the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers and fight the enemy.

When thinking of his relatives in Long County, Ma Yue thought of his father and elder brother who were parted from him, but now he didn't even know where he was.I don't know if they will be in any danger in this chaotic army.Although Ma Yue kept comforting himself that his elder brother Ma Chao and his father were both recorded in history, and it was impossible for him to make any mistakes in this failure, but the worry in his heart did not lessen because of this.

After all, they are the closest people to him, and Ma Yue is also an ordinary person, so how can he not worry about gains and losses?But he also knew that it was impossible to find his father and brother now, so he had to go back to Long County first and then make plans.I hope that when I return to Long County, I will see my father and brother there.

"It will be dawn in about half an hour. Young master, if you are frightened and tired, take a rest first. After dawn, we must hurry up." Wang Feng saw that he was staring at the distance in a daze, and stepped forward to persuade him. road.

Only then did Ma Yue think of his own body, and after a smile, he lay down.As soon as he lay down, the previous exhaustion came rushing back like a wave again, making Ma Yue not even want to move his fingers.But for some reason, even though his body was already exhausted to death, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and his mind was always thinking about what to do next.

On the hill, everyone was also sitting on the ground, and the scene seemed a little deserted.Suddenly, someone spoke: "Listen, what's the sound?"

"Huh?" Wang Feng immediately raised his ears and listened carefully, and the others also concentrated their attention on differentiating the sounds from far and near.In addition to the sound of the wind, another cry came faintly.After a while, even Ma Yue could hear the voices coming from the southwest, and the voices were getting closer to the hill where they were.

"Gouzi, go down carefully and see what's going on." Wang Feng immediately ordered.

A thin but nimble man immediately nodded in agreement, without getting on his horse, he quietly descended the mountain and ran towards the southwest.Others nervously picked up bows and arrows and weapons, ready to fight any possible enemy at any time.

The sound was getting closer, and everyone could already hear that it was indeed the sound of crying and begging for mercy, mixed with the sound of scolding and beating.Hearing this, the faces of Wang Feng and the others turned a little blue, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in their eyes, and Ma Yue had already thought of what might have happened.

At this time, the man called Gouzi ran up the mountain quickly again, and he stopped and said: "Boss, it is the Qiang people who have kidnapped a large number of people, and they are driving them forward!"

Although he had already guessed what might appear, Ma Yue's expression changed after hearing this: "Are you sure these people are ordinary people?"

"That's right, they don't wear uniforms of officers and soldiers, and most of them are old and weak, women and children, so they must be ordinary people." Gouzi confirmed.

After everyone heard this, their expressions became even uglier.They can imagine what kind of violence (this is harmony again) these people have encountered before. Follow the road in the specified direction.And what awaits them will be even more painful results, either they will be killed, or they will become slaves of these Qiang people, and they will not be free for life.

At this time, the cries of those people became clearer, and the sound of the crackling whips hitting them became clearer.Ma Yue clenched his fists and asked, "Have you seen the number of Qiang people who took them away?"

"There should be one or two hundred people, all cavalry." Gouzi replied: "Mr. Ma, shall we rescue them?"

After hearing this, the others looked at Ma Yue expectantly.Although they were horse thieves, they were also Han Chinese. Naturally, they couldn't bear to see their compatriots being treated like this, and seeing them go to a dead end.But Wang Feng immediately denied this idea: "No, this will only involve us. There are 200 Qiang people, but we only have more than 30 people. If one is not careful, they will all die. It doesn't matter if we die, but Mr. Ma..."

"No, I think we should save them!" He was interrupted by Ma Yue before he finished speaking: "We are soldiers to defend the country and protect the safety of the people. Now there are so many people in front of us We are about to die, if we stand by and watch, we will never feel at ease for the rest of our lives!"

Although he knew that Wang Feng's decision was the best choice for him, he couldn't agree with such a decision.Because protecting the Han people is his bottom line, he wants to make some achievements, but he doesn't want to become a cold-blooded politician who only knows the benefits but not the righteousness.In this way, even if the history of the Three Kingdoms can be changed in the future, it may not be able to change the fate of the Han people in the next hundred years.Since it is doomed that the road ahead will be full of thorns, then go for it, and all of this will start from today!

In fact, Wang Feng also wanted to save people, but he was still full of worries: "We only have so many people, how can we save them?"

"Only use tactics!" Ma Yue looked up at the last darkness before dawn, and said confidently: "Although we only have 30 people, as long as the strategy is correct, it is not difficult to win more with less. With our compatriots, they will definitely help us when the time comes!"
