() said that Zhang Wen finally led his army to Xiliang, and he acted vigorously. He immediately ordered Kuaima to send a note to the officials in charge of Xiliang, asking them to rush to Longxian County, Longxi County, to discuss how to deal with it. The Qiang people used troops in disorder.

As the general of one of the troops, Dong Zhuo naturally did not dare to procrastinate. After receiving the order, he rushed to Long County with [-] elite cavalry and his confidant Li Ru.As one of the counselors, Ma Yue is not qualified to go with him, but he still pays attention to the situation there. ,

Soon, the news kept coming back-this time the court really made up its mind to clear up the Xiliang Rebellion, not only dispatched Zhang Wen, but also mobilized [-] troops from the surrounding states and counties to bring them under its control. Shangxiliang itself had nearly [-] troops left, but this time the imperial court once again assembled an army of [-].

Along with Zhang Wen, the one who led the army to quell the chaos was Huang Fusong, a famous general in the court, which Ma Yue and the others did not know before.This Huangfu Song was also a rare famous general in the Han Dynasty at that time. He used to be the prefect of the Northland, and later led the army to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It is said that this person's previous experience was exactly the opposite of Dong Zhuo's.Moreover, he is also a famous general who can really lead troops and is familiar with the situation in Xiliang. This is indeed an opponent for Dong Zhuo.

However, Ma Yue was not worried that Dong Zhuo's big plan would not come true. After all, one person cannot change the barriers and problems that exist between the Xiliang armies. As long as Zhang Wen understands the key points, he will definitely listen to Dong Zhuo's suggestions. way.

The facts also proved that Ma Yue's guess was correct. A few days later, another news came. After discussing with the generals, Zhang Wen adopted Dong Zhuo's suggestion and divided up the [-] troops, thus A comprehensive blow to the Qiang people's random advances.The reason, apart from the difficulty of cooperating among the people from all walks of life in Xiliang, is also the key that the people brought from the surrounding areas have their own thoughts.

Zhang Wen is also very aware that it is very difficult to completely knead people from different origins together in one place, and with Geng Bi's lessons learned from the past, he has no choice but to accept the strategy of dividing troops.From their point of view, although the Qiang people are making a lot of noise now, they are still a mob in fact. As long as the imperial army is killed, they will be invincible.So even if the division of troops greatly reduced the strength of each road, they were still full of confidence in the quelling of the chaos this time.

Afterwards, it was the delineation of the route for the attack of passers-by, and the other horses did not pay attention to it. They only found out that Dong Zhuo would lead the way to Jincheng County, and first recapture the old place of Longxi before talking about other things.In addition, what made Ma Yue feel relieved was that his father Ma Teng was not sent out this time, but would defend the city with the prefect Li Xiangru as the backup of the army.

After that, Ma Yue had more things to do.In the past period of time, the manager of his granary was just collecting and storing the grain brought in by the aristocratic family. At most, he allocated some to the garrison in the city.But after the army finally took action, the food came in and out very frequently, and he also had to check how much food he needed to send to them according to the number of people and the length of the route. He was really busy up.It wasn't until this time that he really understood the meaning of the phrase that the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.It turned out that this was not just talk, the allocation of food and grass was indeed done long before the army left.

Every day, Ma Yue would come to the granary to take care of things from early in the morning, urging the people below to carry the grain until dark.Then I have to take the time to record all the accounts, so that the master can check at any time, and there is no chance to breathe.Fortunately, he had some experience in working overtime in his previous life. Even though the workload in the past few days was very heavy, he was able to cope with it calmly, which made the other people in the granary feel admiration.In times like this in the past, everyone would be in a hurry, and things might not be done properly, but now under the command of Ma Yue, everything is done in an orderly manner, although busy, it is still orderly.This made Ma Yue's status in the minds of these people once again improved, from simple fear to awe.

On the seventh day of February, when Ma Yue loaded the last batch of grain that needed to be allocated into the cart and took it away, he let out a sigh of relief and stretched himself greatly.After finishing the whole day's work at last, it's time to reward myself with a good meal, and then sleep well.He just wanted to call Wang Feng and others to find food by himself, when Wang Feng came over: "My lord, Dong Gong sent someone to let you go and see him."

"Huh? Has the lord turned back?" Ma Yue asked.When he was so busy these past few days that he didn't rest, he didn't even know the news of Dong Zhuo's return: "Where is the person, take me to meet him."

Soon, Ma Yue met a thin but spirited general. He was a little unfamiliar with this man, so he saluted first: "I wonder who you are?"

"I'm Li Su, now a general in the army." The man announced his name, and then said: "The lord is still waiting to see you, so there is no need to be polite. You take the granary of the past few days and go in and out. account, follow me."

Ma Yue hurriedly agreed, then returned to his official room, took the recorded account book, and left with Li Su.But what surprised him was that the place they went to was not Dong Zhuo's mansion, but directly out of Lintao City.Ma Yue was a little puzzled: "General Li, why did you leave the city? Isn't the Lord in the city?"

"Yes, because the military situation is urgent, my lord didn't go back to the city. He just asked the people in the city to prepare for the departure." Li Su nodded and said, but he didn't slow down his marching speed.

Not long after leaving the city, Ma Yue finally saw a big Dong character flag fluttering in the air, and under it were continuous camps. Obviously, when he was still busy with food and grass, the people and horses in the city had obeyed orders to set out. .Under Li Su's guidance, Ma Yue came to the middle camp located in the continuous camp, and was able to enter after reporting.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had completely lost the lazy look he used to have in the mansion. He was dressed all over his body, combined with his stature and rough face, which made people feel oppressed by being in the same room as a beast.Ma Yue was also deeply shocked, this oppressive force was something he had never felt before.

"Zhong Ling, you've worked hard these past few days." Seeing Ma Yue coming in, Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "How is it? It's not easy to send a lot of food for the army?"

"I don't dare to talk about hard work for the imperial court." Ma Yue hurriedly replied, "I don't know why my lord, Kui Ye, summoned me."

"I want to look at the account book first." Dong Zhuo didn't answer immediately, but pointed to the account book in Ma Yue's hand.Ma Yue handed it up as he said, but the latter didn't open it to read, but handed it to Li Ru beside him: "See if there are any deficiencies."

Ma Yue knew that this was Dong Zhuo's test of his ability and whether he had done things with sincerity.Regarding this point, he is not afraid of being checked, because he is confident that there is no mistake to find in the past few days.Sure enough, after reading the account book quickly, Li Ru nodded at Ma Yue as a compliment, and then said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, Zhong Ling has done a good job. Every entry and exit of grain and grass has been recorded. And his deployment is also very timely, if it is replaced by anyone, being able to be like him is already the ultimate."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo also had a smile on his face after hearing this: "It seems that Zhong Ling is indeed very proficient in this way, so I can rest assured."

"My lord, it's amazing. This is what I should do." Ma Yue said modestly.

"Okay, I won't say more about these nonsense." Dong Zhuo waved his hands, and then said solemnly: "I called you here suddenly tonight because I have some things to tell you again. Tomorrow morning, a certain general Lead the troops to attack, I have entrusted Niu Fu with all the matters in Lintao City, if you have any questions, you can find him."

After seeing Ma Yue nodded, he continued: "Also, the army is outside, the food and grass are the most critical, it is related to the survival of every soldier and horse, you have such a heavy responsibility, you must not take it lightly. You know what I mean Is it?"

Ma Yue was stunned, anyone would understand this truth, why Dong Zhuo had to emphasize it so much?Suddenly, he thought of something, and his heart moved.Dong Zhuo was signaling that the victory or defeat of the army in front of him was under his own control, and he had suggested to Dong Zhuo before that Dong Zhuo's victory would be all the more precious when the other troops were all defeated. .This is asking him to play tricks on this matter, and Ma Yue's heart sank when he understood the hidden meaning.

He didn't want to do such a shameful thing, not to mention that he might become a scapegoat used by Dong Zhuo to appease public anger later.But now that Dong Zhuo had given the order, he could only accept it for the time being, and do it according to the situation.Then he nodded and said: "My lord, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the matter successfully."

"It's the best. If I can win this battle and be crowned by the imperial court, I will never forget you, Ma Zhongling." Dong Zhuo said happily.

"Then I will wait here quietly for the master to return from victory!" Ma Yue also hastily congratulated.

Afterwards, Ma Yue left the barracks and returned to Lintao.But at this moment, he felt heavy in his heart, and didn't know what to do next.Indeed, he wanted to use Dong Zhuo to realize his ideas, but it was not acceptable for him to use extraordinary means to cut off food for other groups of people, even though he now had the power to transport food, he had to do it. Not very difficult.

"I can only take one step at a time. I hope that without me doing that kind of thing, the battle can develop as I expected. After all, these troops are still a little unfamiliar with the situation in Xiliang, and the Qiang people are not so easy to mess with!" Ma Yue comforted himself in his heart, and when he looked up again, he found that it was already dark.
