Chapter 150: Haste is not achieved

The scorching sun was like fire, and the earth was ruthlessly moxibustion was roasting the earth, and the deserted desert was like a fire, with heat steaming.

On the vast horizon in the distance, smoke and dust gradually rose up in the sky, flags flew, iron armor, and red tassels standing like a forest were about to pierce the sky.

A large Han army was like a rolling iron stream, traveling westward.

In the fiercely advanced Han army formation, Pan Feng's majestic body fluctuated with the steps of the war horses. His shimmering tiger eyes stared straight at the faint city block ahead, and salty sweat quietly slid down his cheeks. After ten days of rapid march, the army finally arrived in Yanmen Mayi.

Two hundred miles west from Mayi is the river. Crossing the river from Qiufeng Ferry and then entering the Hetao boundary. It is only a hundred miles away from Meijicheng (formerly the Xiongnu Shanyuting), the base camp of Ma Yuejun.

"Transfer." Pan Fengran raised his right arm and said loudly, "The army stopped moving forward, rested in Mayi for two days before moving westward."

Pan Feng's military order was quickly conveyed, and the storm of the Han army immediately turned a bend, turning north, towards the vast horizon in the distance, the vaguely visible Mayi city. However, not long after, Ju Su rushed over and said anxiously to Pan Feng: "General, why did the army turn north?"

Pan Feng said: "The army has been moving rapidly every day, and the soldiers are very tired. They can rest for two days in Mayi. It will not be too late to move west after the soldiers are fully prepared."

Ju Su said: "General, you should not. At this time, you should push your troops forward quickly and attack Meiji directly. You should not give the enemy the opportunity to arrange things calmly."

Although Pan Feng respected Ju Shu's talent in his heart, he did not like Ju Shu's style of dealing with things and frowned and said, "I have already made some mistakes, so don't say much in the military advisor."

Ju Su said anxiously: "Ma Yue has newly acquired Hetao, and its foundation has not stabilized and external troubles have not been eliminated. At this time, if our army can directly attack Meiji Lao Camp with lightning speed and speed up the army, internal and external troubles will arise, and the Ma Yue army will inevitably be in a panic and collapse without fighting! If our army advances slowly, Ma Yue will have a chance to breathe and be freed to solve the threats of Tu Ge Ge Hu, Yue Zhi Hu and Qin Hu, and then concentrate its forces to defeat the four armies one by one... Think twice!"

Gao Lan stepped forward and advised: "What the military advisor said is not without reason, General, think twice."

Guan Chun and Geng Wu also rushed forward and persuaded in unison: "Please think twice."

"Forget it." Pan Feng saw that all the generals supported Ju Su, so he had to shout unhappily, "Tell me the order, the army continues to advance and take straight to Hetao."

...

Liangzhou.

After some secret discussion, Geng Bi raised 20,000 cavalry, Dong Zhuo sent 8,000 cavalry, with Dong Zhuo's general Han Sui as the main general. Cheng Qiu, Dong Min, Ma Wan, and Liang Xing were the deputy generals, and sent troops to attack Ma Yue. Nearly 30,000 cavalry from assembled to going to the expedition, and then advanced to the territory of Beidi County, which took only seven or eight days.

Lingzhou. The coalition camp, Han Sui's tent.

Han Sui played with the horse, and Liang Xing said, "How is Dong Min?"

Liang Xing said: "Don't worry, lord, this guy was drunk by Mo Jiang and Brother Ma Wan, and he was already out of sight."

Han Sui asked again: "Where is Cheng Qiu?"

Ma Wan said, "Lord, don't worry. The general has already sent someone to secretly monitor the waste."

"Okay!" Han Sui said in a deep voice, "It is related to our army's life and death, so you must be careful! In order to avoid leaking the news and ruining the big thing, this general intends to launch a mutiny tonight. What do you think?"

"Lord is wise." Liang Xing and Ma Play said, "Brothers have long been looking forward to this day!"

"Okay." Han Sui gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "I will secretly behead Dong Min and Cheng Qiu tonight. To summon the Sima of each army to discuss matters tomorrow morning, and secretly lay two hundred knives and axe players outside the tent. If anyone asks Dong Min and Cheng Qiu's whereabouts, they will say that the two generals have been ordered to return to Liangzhou, and the army will be controlled by this general alone. If anyone is dissatisfied, kill them on the spot!"

Liang Xing, Ma Wan said, "The last general will take the order."

"If Dong Zhuo is not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. This time, Dong Zhuo will lose a handful of rice without stealing a chicken!" Han Sui said this and said in a dark voice, "When the army leaves Liangzhou, you can secretly send someone to notify Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, Li Zhan, and the candidates for six ministries, so that they can try to leave Liangzhou and lead their troops to Hetao to join the army."

Liang Xing, Ma Wan said again: "I will obey the order."

Han Sui smiled indifferently and said in a deep voice: "At that time, I will occupy Hetao and have tens of thousands of cavalry. What can Dong Zhuo do to me? Even the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that I will have to grant the title of General as the General of the Huns. Otherwise~~huhhh, I will lead the cavalry south to plunder the three auxiliary officials of the capital every year."

“Hahaha~~”

Liang Xing and Ma Wan laughed happily at the same time, and those wonderful days seemed to be waving to them.

Han Sui stepped forward, grabbed Liang Xing, and Ma Wan's hand, and said loudly: "After the matter is accomplished, you will be the left arm and right arm of this general, and you will enjoy the same glory and wealth at that time."

Liang Xing and Ma Wan were so grateful that they said with a loud bang: "Thank you lord."

...

Shangjun, Qin Hu Laoying.

Hu Cai and Li Dongqiang bowed down and said to Guo Tai: "The last general and the other party will meet the general."

Mrs. Guo waved his hand and said, "Please get up, two generals."

"General Xie."

Hu Cai and Li Le thanked Mr. Guo and sat down with him. Hu Cai bowed to Mr. Guo and asked, "The general urgently summoned the last general and returned to Shangjun. I wonder what urgent matters?"

Mr. Guo pushed a silk book on the table to Hu Cai and said in a narrow voice: "There is a secret decree of the Emperor of Han here, and the two generals are welcome to check it out."

Hu Cai unveiled the secret order, and after reading it quickly, his face changed drastically, and he said with a sniff: "The Emperor of Han wants to entrust the General to be the General Hu, and the above counties are the capital, and they will inherit the Han Dynasty and guard the northern border for generations!?"

"What?" Li Le was also surprised when he heard this. He took the secret order in disbelief. After reading it quickly, he turned to Guo Tai and said, "General, is this true or false?"

For a long time, these Han people, known as Qin Hu, were all mobs and bandits in the eyes of the Han court. If it weren't for Qin Hu living in the capital, north of the Three Guards, close to the Han Dynasty and north of the Han Dynasty, they rarely harassed the Han people. They played a barrier role, the Han court would have sent troops to destroy Qin Hu.

But even so, the court has always hated Qin Hu! In the eyes of the Han court, Qin Hu's status was not even as good as the Hu Hu in the north and the Huns. The late Hu Hu general Zhang Huan usually summoned the most soldiers and horses of Qin Hu, but gave the least food and salary. In the years of heavy snow and disaster, the Huns could still obtain supplies from the Han court. However, the Qin Hu people could only rely on themselves to go to the Qiang people and rob the Hu people.

Guo Tai said: "I am a little reluctant to believe it, so I invited the two generals overnight."

Hu Cai said: "The general became General Hu of the Han Dynasty. It is obvious that the benefits are obvious. From now on, you only need to obey the emperor's orders, and you no longer have to obey the orders to the general of the Huns! But~~ The emperor of the Han Dynasty really has such kindness and no longer has to confer the general as General Hu for no reason? What kind of tricks are there in this?"

Li Ledao: "What trick can you do?"

Hu Cai thought for a while and said, "Is it related to Ma Yue's private guide to Hetao?"

"What do you mean is that the court granted this general the title of General Hu to deal with Ma Yue?" Guo Tai suddenly realized, "Well, it is very likely that if it weren't for your reminder, I would have almost forgotten the Hetao Incident! Come on, pass our military order, immediately close the Kucha checkpoint, and refuse all refugees, and the Hu people enter the pass."

...

Kucha Pass is located two hundred miles north of Shangjun. It tightly hinders the main rush of the official road leading to Hetao in the pass. The inner Great Wall winds through both sides of the pass. Although the city wall over three meters high is difficult to stop the attack of the baggage infantry, it is an insurmountable natural barrier for the nomadic people living on horseback!

Since the Yellow Turban chaos in the first year of Zhongping, the Central Plains people have been avoiding the border, and a considerable number of them have left the Great Wall from Kucha Pass and settled down on the Hetao grassland. But now, they have to leave their hometown again and relocate with their families, because the horse butcher, who is more notorious than the Yellow Turban thieves, has occupied Hetao.

In ancient times, communication was inconvenient, and the phenomenon of spreading rumors was extremely serious. In addition, the Han court and county magistrates in various places deliberately distorted the image of Ma Yue. In the eyes of ordinary people who do not know the truth, Ma Yue has become a vicious person who drinks human blood and eats babies' brains alive. The troops under Ma Yue are also like wild animals. They like to eat human flesh raw.

It was noon. Vagrants who supported the elderly and the young rushed from outside the pass like a tide, crowded in front of the pass. They all wanted to escape into the pass earlier.

"Gagaha...boom!"

Amid the desperate lament of the refugees, the heavy city gate closed with a loud bang. A Qin Hu Duwei appeared on the gatehouse and shouted loudly: "According to the order of the general, Ke Ri will be in seclusion. No idle people are allowed to approach the city wall within fifty steps. Violators will be killed."

Among the chaotic refugee group, Zhou Cang stomped his feet in annoyance and said to the soldier beside him who was also a refugee, "His grandma is actually one step late."

"General, since the surprise attack cannot be achieved, it is better to attack simply!" A soldier suggested fiercely, "The city wall is only more than three meters high, and you can easily climb up with a flying claw lasso. There are not many defenders on the ground at the gate. As long as the brothers try to disperse and grab the pass in multiple places, things will definitely be done."

"No." Zhou Cang frowned, "Strong attacks can easily reveal our army's situation, so let's wait first."

Although the guards closed the door repeatedly warned, the refugees crowded in the gates were unwilling to leave. They were still begging the defenders to open the city gate and let them go. Who would have thought that the defenders would actually fire arrows and shoot dozens of people to death one after another? The refugees became anxious and avoided a hundred steps away in panic.

Zhou Cang was mixed with refugees and cursed while retreating: "These beasts really dare to shoot arrows! It seems that there is no chance to grab the pass. Let's go back."

...

Fifty miles north of Kucha is the desolate desert, and the army of horses is struggling in the sea of ​​sand.

It is the scorching sun that makes the undulating desert like waves into an extremely magnificent wonder, but the soldiers of the three armed forces, who are suffering from heat waves, do not think that this sea of ​​sand is so beautiful! Behind all the beauty, there are often the most dangerous murderous intent, and this desert is no exception.

Suffocating heat!

A sandstorm that covers the sky and the sun!

There is also the thirst that makes the most brave and fearless warriors feel fearful!

In order to resolve the threat of Sanhu in the shortest time and to win time to calmly defeat the encirclement and suppression of four armies, Ma Yue decided to take a shortcut and blatantly ordered to pass through the Sea of ​​Death that no one had ever crossed. It has been ten days since time passed. Ma Yue's army has paid an extremely heavy price, but it has not yet been able to get out of the Sea of ​​Death.

The power of nature. Even the strongest mankind cannot resist it!

When the sandstorm roared over the sky, the war horses and people were like leaves in the wind, easily thrown into the air and then fell from the air, they were already broken into pieces! There was also a suffocating heat that made people madly thirsty and ruthlessly destroying the will of the warriors.

"servant."

A soldier held a war horse in his hand and fell down straight as he walked. He let his face press tightly on the sand that was so hot that it could make people jump, but he had no reaction. The soldier's exposed skin had already peeled off layer by layer under the burning sunlight. Even so, he did not remove the heavy and hot iron armor on his body, nor did he let go of the slashing sabre in his hand tightly.

"Get up! Get up!" A school licked his cracked lips, stepped forward and kicked the soldier hard on the butt. He scolded angrily, "Don't lie on the ground and thrust, I know you can do it! Get up~~"

"Captain, Hei Niu is gone!"

A soldier howled and snatched up, trying to stop the violent school.

"Get out of the way!" The school soldier kicked away. He stepped forward and picked up the body of the fallen soldier and hugged it tightly in his arms, and started to fuck him shrillly, "Black Bull! Brother! My good brother!!! You fuck you, my Gu Niu begs you~~ Aoah~~"

"Team~~ Captain~~"

A faint cry came from behind. The bison shivered and turned around. The soldier who had just been kicked by him had fallen down. At this moment, he was raising his head and staring at the bison with his strange eyes before his death. The bison raised his head and let out a loud harsh howl, and rushed forward to pick up the soldiers and shouted, "Buffalo, what's wrong with you, Buffalo?"

"Buffalo, don't fuck me. My brothers have been through many fierce battles, so we can't die in this ghost place, right? The general said that even if he wants to die, he must die on the way to charge, and on the battlefield. He has to find ten or eight people to carry them on the road. That's what man~~Buffalo!!!"

The buffalo's chapped his lips twice and said in an inauspicious voice: "Captain, bring~~ and bring a word to the general. Just say~~ that the buffalo could not die on the way to charge. It's embarrassing to him, such as~~If there is an afterlife, the buffalo is still his soldier, he will never let him down~~Woo~~"

"No! You didn't embarrass me!"

A faint but extremely firm voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them. Gu Niu turned around with the buffalo and suddenly saw Ma Yue walking slowly under the escort of Dian Wei and dozens of personal soldiers. Ma Yue's expression seemed unprecedentedly serious, and his usual cold eyes also seemed solemn before.

"General~~jun!"

The buffalo struggled for a moment, and the young life was forever frozen in this moment.

Ma Yue squatted down, reached out and slowly stroked the buffalo's face, closed the buffalo's eyes wide open, and whispered: "Buffalo, you are the best soldier! I am proud of having an excellent soldier like you~~"

The young school Gu Niu said sadly: "Buffalo, have you heard it? The general said you are the best soldier!"

Ma Yue slowly stood up, looked at the soldiers of the three armies gathered around him, and shouted loudly: "You~~ are all the best soldiers! You are the most brave and good soldiers in the world! No one can stop us. If the sky dares to stop, it will pierce the sky. If the desert dares to stop, it will conquer it!"
