Chapter 241 Sending the General to the Road(2/2)
"No, I've been trapped!" Li Kui shouted, swung his sword quickly and shouted, "Retreat, withdraw quickly..."
However, it's too late.
As Li Kuo finished speaking, a loud bang was heard. The thousand-jin gate had fallen heavily, instantly blocking the nearly two thousand old Liangzhou subordinates' way out. The next moment, countless torches were lit from the wall. In the light of daylight, black archers had already filled the wall. Putting their bows and arrows, and sharp clusters of arrows were aimed at the helpless Liangzhou army in Guanzhong.
"Li Kuai, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Amid a loud shout, a majestic figure suddenly appeared on the wall, and Li Kui was immediately eaten by thunder! He never expected that he would see the butcher Ma in Wuguan! Didn’t the butcher Ma confront the 300,000 troops of the central coalition forces in Yingchuan? When did he come to Wuguan?
If Li Gui had known that Ma Butcher was in Wuguan, he would not have dared to lead his army to secretly pass the pass by with his courage.
What made Li Gui even more desperate was that Li Su, who had always been relied on as his confidant, was now next to Ma Butcher Ma. It was obvious that Li Su had already been in the line with Ma Butcher Ma and designed everything. Only Li Gui was like a fool, and unconsciously got into the trap carefully set by Ma Butcher Ma.
"Li Kuai, get off the horse and surrender!" Ma Yue shouted, "I can save you from death!"
Li sighed, knowing that he was no longer lucky today, so he dismounted and knelt on the ground, saying respectfully: "I wish to surrender."
Nanxiang, Liu Biao’s central army tent.
Liu Biao said to Kuai Liang worriedly, "It has been three days, but there is still no news! Where has this Li Kuai gone?"
Although Li Gui's troops had only two thousand men, they were all Western Liang cavalry! For the coalition forces with serious lack of cavalry, this was undoubtedly an important force used to resist the Xiliang Legion. Therefore, Liu Biao still attached great importance to the two thousand cavalry of Li Gui, so he naturally did not want something to happen to him.
Kuai Yue said: "Li Gui is likely to lead his troops to attack Wuguan."
"Running to attack Wu Pass?" Liu Biao said skeptically, "Li Kui only has two thousand soldiers, and they are all cavalrymen, and there are no equipment needed to attack. How can I fight this battle?"
Kuai Yue said: "Li Gui was originally an old general of Dong Zhuo. Wuguan Guard Fu Xie was also a gentry member of Liangzhou. Most of the three thousand soldiers under his command were also Dong Zhuo's old subordinates. There may be no connection between them. This time, Li Gui led his troops to leave without saying goodbye. Most of them were Wuguan Guard Fu Xie wanted to surrender, and then Li Gui wanted to take over this credit."
"Fu Xie Xian Pass?" Kuai Liang said in a narrow voice, "Is this a fraudulent surrender?"
Kuai Yue said: "There are not many people who are good at planning under the Ma Butcher. Ju Su is good at internal affairs but not good at strategy. Although Guo Tu is very tricky, he is unfortunately dead in battle. Jia Xu has always been inseparable from Ma Butcher. At this time, he is naturally in Yingchuan. Apart from these people, I really can't think of anyone who can fool Li Kui, who is suspicious by nature?"
Liu Biao said: "I hope Fu Xie is really surrendering."
Kuai Yue said: "Whether to be a real or a fake surrender, there will be news soon."
"Lord!" As soon as Kuai Yue finished speaking, suddenly a general Wei He stepped inside quickly and bowed, "Wuguan urgently reported."
Liu Biao stood up suddenly and shouted: "Speak."
Wei He said: "General Li Kuai led two thousand cavalry to attack Wuguan. Although there were internal supporters who opened the door, they were discovered by Fu Xie, the general guarding the Wuguan. The two armies fought in the pass, and each other was injured. Now the two armies are still confronting each other. Li Kuai General condemned the fast horses and asked the lord and Xu Gong, and Chen Ji's three armies immediately went to aid."
"This is the fate." Kuai Yue said, "It seems that Fu Xie is not a real surrender, nor a false surrender."
Liu Biao said confusedly: "What's going on?"
Kuai Yue said loudly: "It seems that Fu Xie's generals were about to surrender, but Fu Xie saw it through, which led to Li Gui's surprise attack failure and formed the current stalemate."
Liu Biao said: "Should we send troops to rescue?"
Kuai Yue said: "Of course, we need to save it. If we can attack Wuguan in one fell swoop, we can pose a fatal threat to Guanzhong and Chang'an, which will inevitably contain a large part of the human and material resources of the horse butcher! After the victory of the battle to rebel in the future, the court will reward the merits and the lord will also be a great achievement. Why not do such a beautiful thing?"
"Well, what Yidu said makes sense." Liu Biao nodded happily and said to Wei He, "Wei He, go and inform Xu Gong and Chen Ji, and come to the camp to discuss matters immediately."
"I will obey the order."
Wei He responded with a loud promise, and Shi turned around and left.
Wuguan, horses leapt on the big tent.
Ma Yue stood on the case, and Dian Wei stood behind him like a vicious and evil spirit. Jutu, Fu Xie, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Hu Chier, Li Su, Li Kuo and others stood in turn.
Ma Yue looked around everyone coldly and said in a deep voice: "You have heard clearly what I am saying?"
Li Meng, Wang Fang and others hurriedly raised their chests and said quickly: "I understand everything!"
"Okay!" Ma Yue nodded and said in a deep voice, "Do your actions separately!"
"Abide by the order!"
The generals responded to the promise and left one after another. Only Li Gui looked embarrassed and left, and it was neither to stay nor to stay. Ma Yue assigned everyone's tasks just now, but he was not assigned a task. Thinking about it, Li Guicai was involved in Ma Yue's tent for less than a day. No matter how powerful the Ma Butcher was, he would not dare to entrust important tasks.
Therefore, Li Kuo did not resent Ma Yue because of this.
Ma Yue turned around slowly, stared at Li Kui expressionlessly, and said calmly: "General Li Kui, you said... how should I arrange for you?"
Li Kuo's face changed, and he knelt on Ma Yue's feet and said tremblingly: "I have nothing to ask for, I just want to give you a way out."
Ma Yue smiled faintly, a cold murderous intent slowly popped up on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I can give you anything, but I can't give you a way out."
Li Kui's face turned pale and he fell to the ground in depressed state.
Dian Wei walked to Li Gui like a ferocious and evil spirit, and two heavy iron halberds hit Li Gui's neck and said sternly: "According to the order of the lord, I respectfully send the general to the road."
"well."
Li Kui sighed dejectedly and drooped his head weakly.
Watching Li Kui leave under Dian Wei's escort, an inexplicable cold light flashed in Ma Yue's eyes. Unlike Duan Wei and Yang Feng, Li Kui's reputation in the old subordinates in Liangzhou can almost be compared with Guo Si! If it were normal, Ma Yue naturally did not worry about Li Kui's intentions, but now the four-way coalition army is approaching, and Ma Yue's army is worried about destruction. At this critical moment, any mistake will lead to a fatal disaster!
Even though Ma Yue is the craziest gambler in the world, he will never use his own wealth and life to bet on Li Gui's loyalty!
Changshe.
The coalition camp, Yuan Shu’s central army tent.
Yuan Yin entered the tent panting and said to Yuan Shu: "Brother, something happened."
Yuan Shuzheng discussed matters with Guo Jia, Sun Jian, Xu Shu and others, and heard this and said anxiously: "Third brother, what happened?"
Yuan Yin gasped and said, "Just just now, Sima Lang, the prefect of Yingchuan, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Chenliu, came to report that in the two counties, more than 30 cities of different sizes, except for Chenliu and Yangdi, the remaining twenty small cities have been looted by the Xiliang cavalry of the Ma Butcher! What is particularly outrageous is that the Ma Butcher also forcibly moved hundreds of thousands of people in the city to Luoyang."
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Guo Jia's eyes narrowed and he whispered, "I didn't expect that the butcher Ma actually had such a vision, which was amazing! Speaking of this, in this first round of competition, he, Ma Butcher Ma, won, haha."
Although Guo Jia admitted that he lost, he was not discouraged in his words, and he seemed to have won.
Yuan Shu was puzzled and said, "Is the butcher Ma crazy? Guan, Liang, Hetao is not a large population and has limited food storage. At this time, he forced to recruit Yingchuan and Chenliu people to Luoyang. Wouldn't it be more burden to himself and accelerate the consumption of military rations? Isn't this self-destruction?"
"It is indeed the case in the short term, but it is not the case in the long term." Guo Jia said, "After the last Dong Zhuo Rebellion, the people of the Sanfu in Guanzhong have been moved to the north by the Ma Butcher Ma, which has caused the emptiness of the land of Guanzhong. The Ma Butcher Ma forcibly conscripted Yingchuan, and the people of Chenliu were to make up for the population shortage of Guanzhong. With the support of the people, the Ma Butcher Ma can stabilize his rule in Chang'an."
Yuan Shu said: "Where did the Butcher get the food to supply these immigrants?"
Guo Jia said: "This is exactly the confusion. However, since the butcher Ma dares to do this, there must be his reason. I want to see where the butcher Ma is going to get food for these immigrants?"
Wuguan.
The three coalition forces of Liu Biao, Xu Gong and Chen Ji finally arrived.
Li Su led hundreds of cavalry out of the pass, and Liu Biao rushed forward and asked, "Mr. Li Su, where is General Li urging?"
Li Su said: "I am supervising the war in Guanzhong."
Liu Biao said: "What's the situation?"
