Chapter 87: The iron wall surrounds

"Hahaha, sir, all the meat is stewed with wild vegetables. The meat is stewed so much, it's so fragrant!" The bald wolf poked a large piece of meat out of the pot with a sabre and laughed, "Damn, follow Huangfu Song's old thing, the brothers have been dying about the meat for several months. Today, I can finally have a big meal, hehe."

"Wait!" Qiu Liju frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't rush to eat first, maybe this is the traitor's plan."

The bald wolf disagreed and said, "No, sir, this must be the thief being ready for a big meal. When we heard that our Wuhuan cavalry was coming, we didn't even bother to eat meat and hurriedly hid into the camp, haha."

Qiu Liju frowned and said, "It's better to be careful. The Han people are too cunning. Call that Han people's guide here."

The bald wolf uh, and took the order. In a moment, he led a man who described as vulgarity. The man lowered his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Liju and said, "What are the instructions of sir?"

Qiu Liju poked a large piece of fat with a saber and handed it to the man's mouth, and said with a grim smile: "Eat this piece of meat!"

The man dared not refuse, so he could only stretch out his hands to hold the piece of meat, and harden his teeth and put the soup and juice into his mouth. He chewed it with relish. After eating, he still smacked his lips with unsatisfactory smile and said, "It's delicious, so delicious, thank you sir."

The bald wolf on the side swallowed his saliva and said to Qiu Liju: "Sir, you can eat it now, right?"

Qiu Liju said: "Wait a little longer."

...

Horses and Daxing camp.

The little leader went straight in, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said loudly, "The villain Gao Shun kowtow to the big leader."

"Gao Shun, are you Peng Tuo's subordinate?"

Ma Yue nodded. There seemed to be such a person in the Three Kingdoms period, but he should be an unknown person. At least Ma Yue has no impression.

Gao Shun replied: "That's right. The villain was originally from Yanmen, Bingzhou. He was rampant in the countryside because the bully was rampant. The villain killed him in anger and then went into exile. Since he came to Yingchuan last year, he wanted to join the army and serve, but he did not want to be framed by the dog official again. Fortunately, Peng Tuo was rescued by the leader and became a bandit from then on."

Ma Yue felt sorry for her and said in a deep voice: "Deng Mao and Peng Tuo both have died in battle, and no one controls the people in her army. I think you are good at leading the troops, so these two people will be under your command."

Gao Shun replied respectfully: "Abide by the order."

As he was talking, Guo Tu's figure suddenly flashed in from outside the tent and said to Ma Yue: "Big leader, the situation is not right."

"Um?"

Ma Yue nodded and glanced at Guo Tu coldly.

Guo Tu's heart suddenly jumped and hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "Those damn Wuhuan barbarians don't seem to be in a hurry to eat meat."

"Is that true?" Ma Yue's heart thumped and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go, take a look."

On the banks of the small river, in the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry Formation.

Half an hour passed. Seeing that the Han guide still had nothing abnormal, Qiu Liju finally felt relieved and said to the bald wolf: "Okay, tell your brothers. You can eat meat with confidence."

The bald wolf cheered and shouted to the sky: "Brothers, let's eat~~"

The Wuhuan barbarians who had been impatiently waiting instantly burst into cheers like mountain collapses and tsunamis. Three groups and five groups surrounded a pottery pot, pulled out a saber and poked the fat meat in the pot, and swallowed the wild vegetables. Since the Han Dynasty ordered the conquest, the three thousand Wuhuan cavalry have been following the Right General Huangfu Song to fight everywhere. It has not tasted the meat for a long time.

Qiu Liju also grabbed the largest piece of fat meat from the pot, and swept it all away like a wind and clouds. He then took a handful of wild vegetables from the pot and chewed it. He couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said, "It smells so fragrant, what kind of meat is this? Why have you never eaten it before?"

The bald wolf swallowed a piece of fat meat with a gulp and muttered, "No matter what kind of meat is, it's good."

Qiu Liju whipped the bald wolf's back with a whip and scolded: "Don't just eat, be careful of the 800 bandits attacking."

The bald wolf said distractedly: "The terrain here is open and boundless. We can see clearly as soon as the eight hundred bandits leave the barracks. The brothers have time to fight. If the bandits dare to come, they will be told that they will never return."

Qiu Liju grabbed the meat piece from the bald wolf's hand and scolded: "Eat, you will know how to eat, be careful to be full! Oh, you can leave some for me~~"

The Han guide snatched a few pieces of meat from the pot. After Yidao picked up wild vegetables, he then went to the river to wash his hands with satisfaction. As soon as he reached into the water, he felt a severe pain in his abdomen. The guide's face turned pale in an instant. He held his belt with both hands and flashed into a wormwood bush by the river. With a crackling sound, a foul stench began to spread out from the grass.

At the gate, Ma Yue stood coldly with Guo Tu, Xu Chu and others. The movements of the Wuhuan barbarians on the river beach in the distance were vaguely visible. Seeing these barbarians finally fell into the trap and enjoyed the stewed human flesh and poisonous weeds in the pot as delicious food, Ma Yue's eyes leisurely flashed through him.

Behind Ma Yue, Guo Tu's stomach was churning again.

...

In the Wei family, the Han army camp, Cao Cao had already said goodbye and left, and was busy gathering the remaining troops and setting up camp.

Huangfu Song pointed to the map and said to Zhu Jun: "There is Xuanyuan Mountain to the west of Yingchuan, which is blocked by Songshan, and the Yellow River to the north. I just got the news that the governor of Yuzhou and the general of the Hu Ben, Yuan Shu, has successively recaptured the Dingling and Kunyang counties in the southern part of Yingchuan County. The army is heading towards Yingyang day and night! Now the scope of the activity of the Yingchuan bandits has been compressed in a small area between Yangdi, Yingyang and Changshe."

Zhu Jun said: "Although Cao Cao was defeated, he did not hurt our army. Although the Yingchuan bandits won, they were seriously injured and were seriously injured. Although Ma Yue's 800 bandits were brave and good at fighting, they only had more than a thousand troops. As long as Qiu Liju's three thousand Wuhuan cavalry were still there, Ma Yue would not be able to overturn the sky. It is a matter of sooner or later defeat."

Huangfu Song said: "The general condemned people and sent a secret letter. He said that Dong Zhuo, Xiliang, and the eunuch party colluded with each other, falsely accusing the Taiwei Zhang Wen of colluding with the Xiliang bandits in an attempt to rebel. The emperor was not careful and deceived by the eunuch party. He had already taken Zhang Taiwei in prison and escorted it to the capital. All the troops of his troops were returned to Dong Zhuo. The eunuch Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong persuaded the emperor day and night, intending to conquer the three thousand Wuhuan cavalry of Qiu Liju, to Liangzhou. The emperor seemed to have intentional action against the rebellion of Beigong Boyu."

Zhu Jun frowned and said, "This is clearly because the eunuch party wants to seize the military power in the hands of the general."

Huangfu Song sighed, "If Qiu Li did not live in three thousand Wuhuan cavalry, it would be very difficult to break the horse and leap the eight hundred bandits."

Zhu Jun said: "The old general, it seems that he has to fight quickly! He must defeat 800 bandits before the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry was conquered by Liangzhou."

Huangfu Song grabbed the wine cup from the table and drew it all, and said in a calm voice: "What Gong Wei said is exactly what I want."

While the two were discussing, a small school suddenly entered the tent and said in a panic: "Two generals, something big is not good."

Huangfu Song frowned and said in a deep voice: "Why are you panic?"

The little school said: "Qiu Liju's cavalry robbed the people of Yingchuan, and accidentally fell into the treacherous plan. Three thousand iron cavalry fled back to more than a hundred cavalry, and the rest of the troops were all ~~"

"Light ~"

Huangfu Song fell to the ground with the wine cup in his hand, making a dull sound.

Zhu Jun also changed his expression: "What did you say! The three thousand Wuhuan cavalry only escaped back more than a hundred cavalry?"

The school paused to the ground and replied: "That's right."

Huangfu Song finally came to his senses, his white beard, and Wufeng said coldly: "Where is Qiu Liju?"

"Qiu Liju was unconscious after escaping back to the camp. The military doctor was being treated."

Zhu Jun said to Huangfu Song: "Old General, let's see what happened."

Huangfu Song nodded calmly, and the two came to Qiu Liju camp together. As expected, Qiu Liju looked pale and had fallen into a coma, lying on the mat and trembling constantly. Two soldiers were forcibly pulling his mouth open, and a doctor was pouring medicine into his mouth. Seeing Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the doctor stopped hurriedly and knelt down on the ground.

"The villain has met two generals."

Huangfu Song nodded. Zhu Jun reached out and pointed at Qiu Liju who was unconscious on the mat, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the situation of Lord Qiu Liju?"

The doctor said: "Reporting to the general, Mr. Qiu Liju accidentally ate aconite, buttercup, deerpentine, golden lotus, poisonous celery and other poisonous weeds. Fortunately, the dose is small, so he has no worries about life. When the villain pours licorice juice into it to eliminate its toxicity, he can wake up."

Huangfu Song said: "Among the more than 100 cavalry cavalry who fled back with Qiu Liju, is there any less poisoning?"

The doctor said: "There are three people who are less poisoned."

Zhu Jun said: "Call it quickly."

...

Changshebei Xi. The 800 bandits camp.

“Law ~~”

A loud neighing sound of a horse soared into the sky.

"What a good horse!" Xu Chu held the reins of the horse, stretched out his hand to stroke the bridge of the horse's nose, and couldn't help but praise, "It's a good horse that is picked from thousands of miles away."

Ma Yue's heart moved and asked Xu Chu: "Zhongkang also knows the horse?"

Xu Jun said: "In ancient times, those who were good at horses were good at horses, cold winds, mouths, numb cheeks, and children were strong at faces. Wei was afraid of moustaches, and they were reluctant to go with their buttocks, and they threw themselves into brown buttocks, and they were swaying to the chest and flanks. Guan Qing was swaying to the thighs and feet, Qin Ya was ahead, and praised the king and minister. All these ten people were good craftsmen in the world. For example, Zhao was the king of Zhao, Qin Bole, and the nine directions were all wonderful. The reason for the generals was different. When they saw a horse, they knew the high and low qualities of the qualities, the smooth and easy feet, the hard and crisp materials, and the length of their ability."

Ma Yue was confused, but he still understood the general meaning. It seemed that Xu Chu was not only extremely powerful, had great martial arts skills, but also proficient in horse racing. This was really priceless for Ma Yue’s 800 bandits! After all, it would be unimaginable to form a powerful cavalry without a group of logistics soldiers who were proficient in horse nature.

"Xu Chu obeys the order."

Xu Chu stood up straight and shouted: "Here."

Ma Yue said: "From today, you have been the horseherd of 800 bandits! You should be responsible for taking care of all the horses in the army with detailed affairs, but if there are any mistakes, you will ask."

Xu Chu said in a humming voice: "Abide by the order."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves sounded again outside the camp. A group of bandit cavalry drove a group of unowned war horses into the gate. The splashing grass and dust once again confused the sky. When the cavalry passed, Zhou Cang turned over and fell off his horse, ran to Ma Yue quickly, and laughed: "Big leader, this is the last place with more than two hundred horses. The remaining hundreds of war horses ran away, and more than one hundred cavalry fled back to the Han army camp of the Weishi."

Zhou Cang's expression was full of excitement. Since he became a Yellow Turban thief, he had never been as comfortable as he is today. The poor Wuhuan barbarians all looked pale and had a painful expression. As they ran, they fell off the horse's back. Zhou Cang led 800 bandits and didn't even fight much. The three thousand Wuhuan cavalry were almost destroyed! Seeing the unowned war horses running wildly on the wilderness, Zhou Cang and the bandits were so excited that they smiled to the sky.

Those are thousands of war horses, and they will be owned by 800 bandits from now on!

Pei Yuanshao said happily: "Boqi, plus these more than 200 cavalry, he has won more than 2,500 Wuhuan war horses. Brothers, don't worry about not having any horses, haha."

Guo Tu glanced at Ma Yue, and saw that Ma Yue's expression was cold and there was no excitement on his face. Ma Yue's indifference was definitely not pretending, because Guo Tu saw the deep worries deep in Ma Yue's eyes. The poisonous plan worked, three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry were destroyed in the blink of an eye, and eight hundred bandits captured more than two thousand war horses out of thin air. Ma Yue should be excited! However, what confused Guo Tu was that the horse butcher seemed unhappy?

"Report~~" A bandit rushed over, knelt down in front of Ma Yue, and gasped, "General Sun Zhong died in battle, General Liao Hua led his army back to Changshe."

"Let Liao Hua come to the camp to see me immediately."

Ma Yue's eyes turned cold and he turned to the tent. Guo Tu, Pei Yuanshao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Guan Ke, Gao Shun and others all entered one after another, and lined up on the left and right sides.

After Ma Yue walked to the case, he sat down on the ground and said to Guo Tu: "Public, come with the map."

Guo Tu took two steps forward quickly. He took out the map from his arms and spread it on the table. Ma Yue looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly a trace of haze flashed through his eyes. He looked up and asked Gao Shun, "Gao Shun."

Gao Shun took a step forward, bowed and said, "The villain is here."

"How many people are there in each Yingchuan army?"

Gao Shun replied: "The former General Peng Tuo was under more than a thousand people, the former General Bian Xi was under more than a thousand people, the former General Tian Zhang Liang, and the former General Cheqi and Cavalry He Yi were under nine hundred people, totaling three thousand people."

Three thousand people? In addition to the Yingchuan soldiers under Liao Hua and Sun Zhong, there are 6,000! Although the losses in this battle were heavy, the remaining land was strong, and their combat effectiveness was only strong! More importantly, after this battle, most of the senior generals in the Yellow Turban Army such as Zhang Liang, He Yi, Peng Tuo, Bian Xi, Sun Zhong died in battle. Looking at Yingchuan, no one could threaten Ma Yue's position anymore.

As long as you deal with Liao Hua, you can completely control the six thousand Yingchuan spirits. In time, these six thousand spirits may not be able to become another fearsome bandit.
