Chapter 124: Falling into the trap

Liucheng.

The night was vast, and Ma Yue stood solemnly on the low and dilapidated city wall with his hands, looking up at the dim night sky. Endless snow was falling from the sky. In just a moment, a thick layer of Ma Yue's helmet and cloak was accumulated. Looking through the dark fire, he turned into a solid snowman~~

The fire in Liucheng was swelling, the screams of men, the moans of women and the cry of children were symphony, and Ma Yue felt cold in his heart, just like the snow and ice that was floating all over the sky.

The leaders and nobles of various tribes in the Wuhuan tribes in western Liaoning were suffering the most tragic ravages and slaughter. Although Ma Yue forgives the ordinary herdsmen of the Wuhuan tribe, he cannot forgive the nobles of the Wuhuan tribe! Whether it is for the need for power integration or the need to reward the soldiers under his command, these Wuhuan nobles must be attacked.

Since it is a war, the defeated side should have the awareness of the loser.

Ma Yue was not interested in participating in the carnival activities of his soldiers, but he had no intention of stopping them at all. This is the reward they deserve! This is not only a punishment for the loser, but also a reward for the winner. Don’t mention his damn benevolence, righteousness and morality. In this chaotic world, the winner is the king, and the loser is no human rights!

What is the teacher of tigers and wolfs?

Tigers and wolfs are like beasts! A tiger and wolf army must be also a beast! With the post-war carnival and extreme spiritual exaggeration, there will be a desperate killing and fearless death on the battlefield! Ma Yue is very clear about how the tiger and wolf army under his command was forged, and he is even more clear about what means to use to maintain their tiger and wolf nature~~

Ma Yue did not want the tiger and wolf army under his command to destroy the Jinxiu Central Plains, nor did he want the Jinxiu Central Plains to destroy his tiger and wolf army, so~~ he chose to come to this wild and barren land. What was his original intention? It was not to continue burning, killing, robbing, and plundering in cold blood to maintain the beastly and bloody nature of this tiger and wolf army.

Everything is just for living, just for living better!

Now ~~800 bandits have already become officials. With a stable nest, women and children, a large group of cattle, sheep and slaves, there is no need to wander on the tip of the knife all day, no need to hang your head on your waist all day to fight for life, it seems that it is the initial goal~~

However, Ma Yue knew better than anyone else, this was far from enough. His current strength was far from enough to ensure that all soldiers could survive to the end and live the best~~

The journey of the eight hundred bandits has not ended, and it has even begun!

If you don’t want to die, you have to tell others to die.

If you don't want to be killed, you have to kill others.

The rules of troubled times are that simple!

The sound of rapid footsteps sounded from behind. Guo Tu was wrapped in a thick sheepskin coat and stepped onto the city tower with snow. He looked like he was fat and looked much stronger.

Ma Yue's head was not turned back and said calmly: "Your Ma. Are you here?"

Guo Tu put his hands in his sleeves, bent down and retreated behind Ma Yue, and said respectfully: "Go back to the lord, the scout cavalry have been sent out."

Ma Yue is used to sneak attacks on others, so he will naturally not give others the chance to sneak attacks on his own land. Whenever he conquers the city and breaks the city, he will inevitably send a large number of scouts and cavalry to ensure that the soldiers under his command will not be attacked by the enemy when they are indulging in a carnival. This has become a fine tradition of Ma Yue's army.

"Yeah." Ma Yue nodded slightly. His eyes turned around and stood beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Cang."

Zhou Cang took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "The last one will be there."

Ma Yue said: "Lead 300 elite troops to patrol the streets, but there are stubborn resisters~~kill and immediately decide!"

"Affect the order."

Zhou Canghu roared and took the order and left.

Guo Tu took a breath, showed a flattering smile on his face, and whispered: "It is as expected. At this time, Liu Yu must have mobilized a large army under Jixian City. He was waiting for his lord to fall into the trap, but he definitely did not expect that the lord would actually attack the east and west, attack Jixian as a surprise attack, and attack Wuhuan, a thousand miles away from the west of Liao, hehe~~"

Ma Yue's mouth once again smiled, and the show was just beginning!

The smile on Guo Tu's face gradually disappeared, but instead he was a faint worry. He whispered: "Lord. Our army attacked Liucheng and pacified Wuhuan in western Liaoning in one fell swoop, and achieved great success. However, the rain and snow weather were not good for cattle and sheep. The migration of the population would seriously sluggish our army's march speed. Once Liu Yu heard that the Liaoning was defeated, he would inevitably launch a large army to attack Ning County, and so Ning County would be in danger~~"

"It's okay." Ma Yue said calmly, "It's more than a thousand miles from Liucheng to Jixian. When Liu Yu knows the news of the defeat in western Liaoning, it will be at least five days later! It will take at least five days for Liu Yu to pull out grain and baggage and organize a large army to go north. The infantry is not as slow as the cavalry, and the march is slow. It takes at least ten days from Jixian to Ningxian~~"

Guo Tu frowned and said, "Lord, Liu Yu may be afraid of condemning Hu Chi's Qing cavalry to attack Ning County."

"The light cavalry rushes to attack?" Ma Yue smiled sinisterly and said, "I hope that Liu Yu and Yan Rou will be stupid enough to send Qing cavalry to attack Ning County, but the possibility of this is slim."

"Um!?"

Guo Tu's expression moved, and he looked at the white snow on Ma Yue's back and fell into deep thought~~

...

Ji County, Youzhou Governor's Office Deliberation Hall.

Zhang He, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, King of Greedy, and the army of Qi Zhou had gathered at the city of Ji County. However, ten days passed, but there was no horse army soldier! It was spread all over Yuyang, and there was no news about the detailed works in Youbeiping. Since the horse butcher land army disappeared like air since going north to the frontier.

"Ma Butcher's army was frozen to death outside the border, right?"

An extremely ferocious sharp light flashed in Wen Chou's fierce eyes, and he said in a muffled voice, "This guy is as famous as his name, looks extremely ferocious and as hideous as a ghost."

Zhang He said: "General Wen was joking. Although most of Ma Yue's army was from southerners, it was not frozen to death on the wasteland. Ma Yue was as cruel as a wolf and as cunning as a fox. He once defeated thousands of elite troops of the court with eight hundred mobs. The man used troops, and it was difficult to predict the ghosts and gods. It was the last general that this must be Ma Yue's trick again."

"What can those few thousand broken soldiers have conspiracies?" Yan Liang waved his big fist impatiently and said viciously, "If you are the last general, it is better to start a large army and kill Benning County and take the butcher's nest in one fell swoop. Then he can't go home and be a lonely ghost."

Zhang He said sternly: "General Yan must not underestimate the enemy. We need to know the battle of Yingshui. Ma Yue defeated Cao Cao with just over a thousand elite soldiers, Liu Bei defeated 8,000 elite soldiers, and Changshe. In the battle, the famous Han general Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song led 20,000 elite soldiers, but they were helpless with Ma Yue. Let it go freely~~"

The prefect of Shanggu Qianzhao nodded and said, "Yes, what General Zhang He said is that the horse butcher is cruel and cunning, and is very comparable to the Xianbei iron cavalry, how brave is it? I don't expect that in the battle of Yinfeng Canyon, 30,000 iron cavalry were destroyed in one battle. Who is here confident of having such ability? The officials think that before we can find out the exact movements of the horse butcher army, our army will still remain unmoved and wait and see what it will become."

Wen Chou said in an inverted voice: "Does the butcher Ma stayed in Jixian for a year without showing up for a year?"

"There is no need to wait for a year." Yan Rou smiled faintly and said, "If Ma Yue really had another idea, the news would have been heard back in the past few days~~"

"Report~~Liaodong urgently reported!"

Yan Rou's words had just finished. A sudden sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the hall. Zhang He, Wen Chou, and Yan Liang's generals suddenly turned their heads and looked out the hall. A minor official rushed in with a letter in his hand and knelt down under the hall. He shouted: "Sir, Liaodong Prefect Gongsun Duhai Road urgently reported~~"

"Liaodong?" Yan Rou murmured, and her face changed drastically in an instant, and she shouted, "No, I'm trapped~~"

"Um!?"

Liu Yu and Zhang He's eyes fell on Yan Rou. Yan Rou took a deep breath and tried her best to calm the excitement in her chest. He said in a deep voice: "Sir, generals, you are trapped~~ Now it seems that eight out of ten butcher Ma has already guessed that he has done something hidden beside Gongsun Zan, threatening to attack Ji County as a surprise, and attacking Liucheng for thousands of miles is true. If Rou expected it, Wuhuan in western Liaoning~~ it is most likely that it will be no longer safe~~"

"What!?" Liu Yu was shocked and said to the little official quickly. "Hurry up, come on!"

The minor official urgently presented the book in front of Liu Yu's case. Liu Yu took it apart, and after reading it quickly, his face turned pale in an instant. Looking at Yan Rou without saying a word for a long time, only his eyes were filled with inexplicable shock~~

Qian Zhao saw Liu Yu for a long time and said anxiously: "Sir, how about you?"

Liu Yu lamented and said, "Zihe (Yan Rou's name is written as a preface) is in his words. Gongsun Du reported urgently that the butcher Ma defeated Wuhuan in western Liaoning five days ago, Liucheng was defeated, Qiu Liju died, and Tadun led only 800 tribes to run into Liaodong~~"

Zhang He: "..."

Xian Yufu couldn't believe it: "There are no less than 20,000 soldiers in Wuhuan, Liucheng who control strings, but they were destroyed in one battle?"

The prefect of Shanggu sighed: "General Xianyu thought that the Wuhuan cavalry was compared with the Xianbei cavalry?"

Xian Yufu said: "It's quite worse."

Qian Zhao sighed, "Thirty thousand Xianbei cavalry can be destroyed in one battle, let alone the 20,000 Wuhuan soldiers who control Xian? This is not a crime of war, but Ma Yue is too cunning~~"

All the generals were silent, and the hall of the meeting was suddenly silent.

After a long time, Liu Yushi sighed and said to Yan Ru: "Zihe, where should our army go now?"

In just a moment, Yan Rou's frown brows unfolded again, and her elegant face also returned to her original calmness and tranquility. She said to Liu Yu: "Sir, Ma Yue is worthy of being Ma Yue. He is like a ghost and a god. It is indeed unpredictable to be on guard. This time he did win for a while!"

"But it doesn't matter. Our army still has an overwhelming advantage. Now we don't have to be lucky and try to rely on tricks to defeat Ma Yue. You can set up all the troops and kill Benning County, and use the advantage of strong military strength to defeat Ma Yue's nest in one fell swoop. As long as you lose your foundation, Ma Yue will naturally be defeated."

Zhang He said, "What the sir said is very true. As the saying goes, one force surrenders to ten groups, all strategies will be useless in the face of absolute force."

Yan Liang shouted: "I've been making trouble for a long time, but I still have to attack Ning County, right? Hehe, but that's fine, let the butcher of horses see the mighty power of Hebei soldiers! What a bullshit army, it's because he didn't meet a real elite army, hum."

Zhang He let out a sigh and shook his head in slightest sense, thinking to himself that this is such a brave but unscrupulous guy.

...

Youbeiping County, Shangyin, the prefect's office.

Gongsun Zan was discussing affairs with Changshi Guan Jing.

Guan Jing said: "Sir, give me a detailed reward. Ji County's vigilance suddenly increased, the army entered and exited frequently, and the number of spies from Liu Yu's army in Yuyang and Youbeiping suddenly increased in large numbers. According to various signs, Liu Yu may have known about Ma Yue's plan to attack Ji County, so he made preparations in advance."

Gongsun Zan looked solemn and nodded, "Ma Yue intends to attack Ji County, this matter is extremely secret, but I don't know how Liu Yu's old man knows it?"

Guan Jing said: "The lower officials are also confused."

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw Gongsun Yue stepping hurriedly and went straight into the hall and said to Gongsun Zan: "Brother, Yan Gang reported urgently. Ma Yue defeated Liucheng five days ago and killed Qiu Liju. All the troops in Wuhuan in western Liaoning were returned to their homes."

"What!?" Gongsun Zan's face changed, he rose from the mat and said in shock, "Didn't Ma Yue attack Ji County in surprise? Why did he go to Liucheng again?"

Guan Jing stroked the willow beard for a moment and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Sir, Ma Yue is here to attack the east and west~uh~~"

Gongsun Zan said, "What's wrong? The scholar is up?"

Guan Jing said in a narrow voice: "No wonder when the war in the Yinfeng Canyon was in a tight situation, Qiu Liju and Su Puyan's two armies were killed in time. Ma Yue intended to attack Ji County, so it was difficult to hide it from Liu Yu's eyes and ears. The problem actually lies with the adult army! Lord, there may be spies in our army!"

"What!" Gongsun Zan said in shock, "What happened?"

"Spy!" Gongsun Yue said with a look of movement, "Is it him?"

Gongsun Zan and Guan Jing's expressions fell on Gongsun Yue at the same time, and they asked in unison: "Who?"
