Chapter 131 Desert Lone Wolf(1/3)
Chapter 131: The Lone Wolf in the Desert
The capital of Liaodong County, Xiangping, and the prefectural palace.
Gongsun Du was reading a military book, suddenly he heard footsteps outside the hall, and a figure flashed. The chief of the clerk Tian Zhao had already rushed in, bowed to Gongsun Du suddenly, and said anxiously: "Sir, the big thing is not good~~"
Gongsun Du frowned and asked, "Why are you panic?"
Tian Zhao said: "The young master defeated Liucheng and was killed by Ma Yue's general Zhou Cang in front of the formation. Tadun and 800 Wuhuan cavalry escaped at the last moment, but disappeared~~"
"What! What did you say?"
Gongsun Du suddenly stood up and stared at Tian Zhao tightly, his eyes showing a horrifying murderous intent, and his face turned blue and white, becoming extremely ugly.
Tian Zhao ignored Gongsun Du's sadness and face and scolded himself: "When the young master went to war, Xiaguan once advised the adults. As the saying goes, his intentions must be different. Although Tadun was defeated and surrendered, he was the barbarian of Wuhuan after all. How could he trust it? Thinking that Liucheng is the old camp of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, how could the horse butcher only leave five hundred soldiers to garrison? Gongsun Zan and Ma Yue colluded with each other, how could Yan Gang stand by? Alas~~ The adults refused to listen to the advice. Not only did this ruin the young master's life, but he also took thousands of soldiers to repay the funeral. Why is it really hard to come~~"
Tian Zhao is also a loyal and righteous man, and is even more loyal to Gongsun Du. It’s a pity that Gongsun Du is not a hero, so how can he tolerate his subordinates to be so scolded by him?
"Enough!" Gongsun Du was furious and said sternly, "Come here!"
The two personal soldiers pressed their swords and walked in straight, sternly: "Here!"
Gongsun Du showed murderous intent in his eyes, and he pointed at Tian Zhao and said sternly: "Drag this noisy guy down~~ chopped it!"
"Abide by the order!"
The two personal soldiers shouted loudly, and like wolves and tigers, they rushed forward to lift Tian Zhao and left. Tian Zhao's face changed drastically, and he shouted sadly: "Loyal words are unpleasant, but loyal words are unpleasant~~ If you don't listen to the words of the officials, Liaodong will be devastated! Lord~~Where should you not raise troops to retaliate. Do not raise troops to retaliate~~"
"Huh~~"
It was not until Tian Zhao's shrill shouts gradually faded away and could no longer be heard that Gongsun Du breathed a sigh of relief. The expression in his eyes was already cold. He suddenly shouted loudly again: "Come on!"
"exist!"
Another personal soldier entered the room with high spirits.
Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Du suddenly turned around and faced the direction of Liucheng in the northeast, saying word by word: "The order is sent to the whole county to arrest Tadun. If you catch it, peel and cramp! In Liaodong County, all the Wuhuan barbarians will be killed without leaving any of them!! The troops of each county will come to Xiangping to gather and slaughter the city to Liucheng~~slaughter the city!!!"
"Abide by the order!"
The personal soldiers roared and took the order and left.
"Clang!"
Gongsun Du took out his sword, turned around and slashed hard. With a muffled sound, he instantly split the table in the hall into two pieces. The calligraphy sliced on the table, and the ink of the pen and ink were scattered all over the ground. Gongsun Du took the lead two steps and kicked the calligraphy scattered on the ground and the ink of the pen and ink of the pen and ink of the pen and ink of the pen and ink of the pen and ink of the pen and ink of the pen and ink of the pen and ink of the earth, and then he started to scatter: "Kang'er~~my Kang'er~~"
"If you don't avenge this son-killing revenge, Gongsun Du vows not to be a human being!"
"Ma Butcher, Zhou Cang, Yan Gang, Gongsun Zan~~ Remember me. One day, I will peel your land, suck your tendons, drink your blood, eat your flesh raw, wow~~"
...
Ning County.
"Oh~~" Song Dian stomped his feet and said to Jia Xu, "My Lord Jia, even so, General Ma shouldn't have killed Liu Yu. Liu Yu is a descendant of the imperial family and his status is extraordinary. Even if he really violates the laws and regulations of the country, or has the crime of colluding with the enemy and against the Han Dynasty, he should also be sent to Luoyang and handed over to Zong Zhengqing and the emperor to give it to him. You shouldn't be tied to Ning County and killed with one knife. This is a serious blasphemy to the emperor's holy power, but a serious crime for the nine Yi tribes, hey~~"
Jia Xu coughed dryly and said, "Cough~ That~ This is not a public anger. It is a forced act for my general to do this. Otherwise, everyone in the three armies will be heartbroken, who will be willing to serve the Han court? If the soldiers are heartbroken, once the Xianbei barbarians take the opportunity to lead their troops to attack the border and take revenge. Who will resist? The general does this~~ It is also for the Han country's country, aren't it?"
"It's useless~" Song Dian shook his hand repeatedly. "Telling these things to the man is useless, so the man naturally believes in General Ma. But Yuan Feng, Huang Wan and the others don't believe it. It's useless for you to convince the man. You have to go to Luoyang to convince Yuan Feng, Huang Wan and the others, and you have to convince the emperor~ Otherwise, these officials who are full and full should be making trouble again. Besides, this matter is really a serious matter. Even if you want to help, you are afraid that you can't help it~~"
Jia Xu smiled treacherously and said, "How can you do it? Duke Song, Duke Zhang, Duke Zhao and others are the most trusted officials of the emperor. Someone in this world cannot think of something. The officials believe it, but who would say that there are things that the father-in-law cannot do, but the subordinates will not believe it even if they die. Hehe~~ How can it be difficult for such a small matter as killing Liu Yu? Besides, Liu Yu is really a very serious crime. He is unforgivable and deserves death~~"
"Good~~" Song Dian stopped Jia Xu, "Don't put a high hat on the man. Don't look at the man's majesty in front of him. We have to give in to the civil and military officials in the court. But what they gave up was not the master, but the master behind him - the current emperor! If it was a matter of the other side, the man would only say one thing, but Liu Yu was different. No matter how guilty he was, he was also a member of the royal family. He was the master. Lord Jia, do you know what the master is?"
Jia Xu could only smile.
Song Dian said again: "This matter is really not helpful, but the man can give General Ma a clear way. He has to find a way out from Princess Yiyang. You, tell General Ma Yue quickly and ask him to send someone to Luoyang to ask His Highness the Princess, and the princess comes forward to plead for him. Men can beat and drum next to him at the right time, or have something to do."
"Also, you must be quick, you must be rushing to see the final news before the officials in the court know the exact news. If it is too late, once the civil and military officials in the court report together, no one can save General Ma."
"Thank you, Mr. Song~~" Jia Xu bowed to Song Dian for a long time, opened the small box on the table, revealing a box of gold, and said with a low smile, "I'm just a little gift, I'll express my general's gratitude, I hope Mr. Song will accept it with a smile~~"
Song Dian's face suddenly became flattering. The wrinkles on his fat face disappeared, and his eyes were bent to only two thin slits left, and his mouth couldn't be closed. He rubbed his hands repeatedly and said, "Oh, how did this make it? How did this make it? General Ma Yue is so polite, haha, so polite~~"
Jia Xu smirked and said to Song Dian: "My general killed Liu Yu. I hope that Duke Song and all the father-in-laws can deal with it and report the whole story to the emperor. As long as you can help my general survive this disaster, my general will thank you very much in the future~~"
Song Dianmei smiled and said, "Men, please pay attention. As long as the princess speaks to the emperor first, even if you fight your life, you will have to say good things for General Ma. Lord Jia, don't worry, hehehe~~"
Jia Xu was laughed at by Song Dian and had goose bumps. However, he had to put on his face with a grim expression and said repeatedly: "In this way, I thanked Mr. Song for my general."
Song Dian smiled and said sharply: "It's all my family, why are you polite? It's really ~~"
...
General's Mansion. Secret Room.
Ma Yue and Gongsun Zan sat opposite each other, and there was no one else in the room. Only the fierce and evil divine Dian Wei held a large iron halberd and guarded the door. The sun set. The light in the room gradually dimmed~~
Gongsun Zan bowed to Ma Yue and said, "General, there is something that the official must remind you, and I hope you will prepare early."
Ma Yue said calmly: "What's the matter?"
Gongsun Zan said: "The general killed Liu Yu, obeyed the will of heaven and united the hearts of the people, which is a righteous act! Only Liu Yu is a descendant of the imperial family and has a noble status. He is afraid that the emperor will be angry and punished the general. The general can prepare early. The condemnation sent to Luoyang to announce everything to the close ministers. Then, he will report to the emperor secretly before the ministers attack, which may save him from a crisis."
"Yeah." Ma Yue bowed with his fists, "Thank you for your reminder."
"There is another thing~~" Gongsun Zan smiled slightly and suddenly asked, "I heard that the general's food and supplies are in urgent need of the emergency?"
Ma Yue said: "Not bad."
Gongsun Zan said: "Youbeiping is already poor, and has suffered natural disasters in recent years. The grain in the warehouse has been completely destroyed. Even if the officials want to help, they cannot help. However, there are quite a lot of grain in the prefecture of Ji County. If the general can persuade Gong Song to accompany the officials to Ji County, he will serve as the prefect of Youbeiping as the prefect of the state, and the officials should give half of the grain to the general to solve the general's urgent need."
"Um~~"
Ma Yue's heart moved. Zhongchangshi was already powerful in Luoyang. Song Dian visited Youzhou this time and sent an edict on behalf of the emperor to temporarily appoint Gongsun Zan as the governor of the state with the honor of the dignified angel. It was reasonable! After all, since Liu Yu died, the governor of the state should not be left for a day. Moreover, this was not a formal appointment, it was just an act of acting as the governor of the state.
Thinking of this, Ma Yue made a quick decision and said, "Okay, let me do this."
Gongsun Zan said happily: "For this, thank you, General~~"
Ma Yue smiled and asked with a point of view: "Sir, I must have known all my thoughts, right?"
Gongsun Zan said sutra: "You have known everything you know."
Ma Yue said: "Well, although Youzhou is good, it is not the place where I will stay for a long time. I am going to take Hetao west. However, Hetao Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu have lived together for generations. The people are strong and they advocate martial arts. If I want to take Hetao, I will definitely have a battle and fight. Therefore, the Wuhuan people in Youzhou must take away, and I hope the Lord can understand."
Gongsun Zan said with a sigh: "Where is the general who said it? The general was appointed by the imperial court to protect the Wuhuan General. It is reasonable for the generals of the Wuhuan County to be governed by the generals of each county. Although this official is dull, he is not a person who is not clear about the right and wrong. Before coming to Ning County, the subordinate official ordered Wuyan to lead his troops to the general's tent to listen to the order. If the general has sent a message to condemn him in the future, even if the condemnation is sent, Gongsun Zan will die even if he goes through fire and water~~"
"Okay! Happy!" Ma Yue slapped the table and shouted, "If Lord Gongsun does not abandon you, how about you and I join in the alliance?"
Gongsun Zan said excitedly: "I really want to do it, I dare not ask for it~~"
Ma Yue waved his hand and said sternly: "Dian Wei, drink!"
"Abide by the order!"
Dian Wei, who was guarding outside the door, agreed with a loud noise, and then he carried a jar of wine and put the jar heavily on Zhuo's desk. He then stepped back to the door with a sword. Ma Yue slapped the mud seal of the jar with his hand, then pulled out the dagger and slashed his wrist, and the blade passed through the flesh, and the hot blood spurted out from his wrist and splashed into the jar.
Gongsun Zan was not vague. He took the dagger from Ma Yue's hand and cut his wrist, and the blood spilled on the wine jar, but he never frowned.
Ma Yue put two big bowls on the table and poured out the bloody wine from the jar. The two turned around and stood in a row on the back and north. They solemnly held a bowl of bloody wine each and held high over the top, and knelt on the ground on one knee~~
"Ma Yue (Gongsun Zan) today swears to the sky, and blood is the basis for it. He becomes an ally with Gongsun Zan (Ma Yue), and lives and lives together, and has a dependent on his lips and teeth. If he violates this oath, he will destroy it together~~"
"Dry!"
"When~"
Two wine bowls collided heavily, and half of the blood wine in the bowl spilled. Ma Yue and Gongsun Zan raised the wine bowl at the same time and drank the blood wine in the bowl.
...
Nanpi, the prefect of Bohai.
Wen Chou and Yan Liang knelt side by side in the hall, their faces full of shame, and they dared to secretly look at the figure swaying in front of them from the corner of their eyes. They were so scared that they didn't even dare to say anything. In front of the second general, Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, was so angry that his face turned pale and he paced back and forth in the hall with his hands on his back.
Nagashi Tianfeng's frown slowly stretched out his frown, a hint of awe of awe flashed through his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Sir. Judging from the various information collected so far, Lord Liu Yu's murder is undoubtedly sure."
"This horse butcher~~" Yuan Shao said with a grudge, "I'm really bold and arrogant. Could it be that I'm not a man from Hebei? I should lead a large army north to Youzhou to fight the horse butcher. I swear to kill his dog head to avenge Lord Liu Yu~~"
General Ju Yiran said with great apology: "In this way, I am willing to take the lead in the camp as the pioneer!"
"Sir, don't act irritably." Tian Feng advised quickly, "Ma Yue's army is powerful, and it is not the one in our county that can be defeated. For the current plan, we should be smart rather than forceful. Ma Yue acts recklessly and sets the dignity of the court and kills the descendants of the royal family without regard for the crime of great rebellion. You can write a letter. You can quickly submit it to the Taifu, ask the Taifu, Taishi and Huang Situ to gather all the officials and report it together. There is no need for the Holy Host to mobilize a soldier, and Ma Yue will definitely die~~"
The strategist Shen Pei said, "Sir, I think Brother Yuan Hao's words are reasonable. It is not yet time for a full-scale war with Ma Yue."
"Okay~~" Yuan Shao saw that the two major advisers under his command agreed, so he stopped raising troops. He waved his hand and said loudly. "Come here. Please serve in the pen and ink~~"
In less than a moment, Yuan Shao compiled a letter. He rolled up the book and wrapped it in silk cloth solemnly, and said loudly: "Where is the Chou of Wen?"
Wen Chou suddenly stood up, folded his fists and bowed, "The last one is here."
Yuan Shao handed the silk cloth bag to Wen Chou and said in a deep voice: "Bring this book, pick the best horses, and send them to Luoyang as quickly as possible, and give them to the old man with your own hands. Do you know?"
Wen Chou said solemnly: "I will obey the order."
"Yeah." Yuan Shao nodded and said in a calm voice, "Go quickly~~"
Wen Chou took the order and turned around and left quickly.
...
Liucheng, Zhoucang Daying.
"Report~~" Amid a shrill roar, a soldier with a frosty face walked into the room, knelt on the ground, and said sternly, "Urgent Military Report!"
