Chapter 264 Fa Zheng, dare you disobey military orders?

Xuzhou, Qu County.

Ma Yue stood on the top of the city with his hand holding the woman's wall. Looking back, Quxian County was already lying under the iron hooves of the Xiliang Army. The resistance between the Mi family soldiers and diners continued, and the fierce fighting was still taking place in the streets and alleys in the city. However, Ma Yue knew that these mobs could no longer cause any storm.

"Lord, the four gates are already under the control of our army!"

"Lord, the county government has been broken."

"Lord, the remaining enemies in the city have been basically eliminated."

"Lord, the Mi Mansion has been captured! Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, and Mi Fang have been captured alive by our army."

The battle report was sent to the city tower like flowing water. In less than two hours, the Mi Mansion spent a huge amount of financial resources and material resources to form private soldiers had disappeared. How could these mobs who had never been to the battlefield be the opponents of the elite Liangzhou who had been killed for a long time?

"Okay." Ma Yue said, "bring the Mi brothers."

"Affect the order."

The school who came to report the news groaned and turned around and walked away quickly. In less than a cup of tea, the Mi brothers were taken to the city tower. At this time, the Mi brothers' hair was scattered and their expressions were desolate. In just half a day, the two brothers became prisoners from the owner of Qu County. The huge gap made them want to die.

Ma Yue's eyes fell on the Mi brothers like a knife, and said coldly: "The two are Mi Zhu and Mi Fang?"

Mi Zhu sighed and said silently, but Mi Fang bowed mechanically and said in a stern voice: "Mi Fang saw~~ I have met General Pingxi."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Ma Yue's mouth and said to the Mi brothers: "Two, I have something to ask for, but I wonder if I can agree?"

Mi Zhu said silently. Mi Fang looked at Brother Nai and said in a low voice: "Please tell me, General."

Ma Yue said: "Let the girl be naturally beautiful and charming. I don't know if I want to take her as a concubine?"

This is completely nonsense. Mi Huan had become Ma Yue's woman as early as last night. Mi Zhu, it was no longer a matter of whether Mi Fang agreed. Mi Zhu looked miserable, but Mi Fang smiled awkwardly and said reluctantly: "It is her fate that she can win the favor of the general. How can I not agree with my brother?"

"It's so good." Ma Yue hugged his fists and smiled, "So, you and I have become in-laws, hahaha."

Mi Fang said: "I dare not."

A trace of cunning flashed through Ma Yue's eyes and said with a smile: "I am the most important thing in the general. I really can't bear to let my sister be separated from my two brothers thousands of miles away. I suffer the pain of missing him. So, if you have two brothers moved their family business to Guanzhong, how about it?"

“This ~~”

Mi Fang was suffocated when she heard this.

Ma Yue smiled indifferently and said in an unquestionable tone: "That's what we've decided."

In July of the fifth year of Jian'an (192), Emperor Xian of Han, Ma Yue conquered Qu County and seized no grain and supplies from Mifu. He ordered Gan Ning to lead the navy to carry grain, grass and supplies and captured aristocratic population northward along the coastal route. He led 7,000 cavalry and light cavalry to advance quickly and continue to advance north along the land route. He heard that the butcher army of Ma and the butcher were coming, and they closed the city gates one after another and could not leave.

Ma Yue's army was unstoppable and advanced forward. Within half a month, it passed through the East China Sea, namely Qiu, Yangdu, Pingchang, Beihai, and went straight to Le'an (the mouth of the river), and joined the Ganning Navy again. At this point, Ma Yue had led his army to fight for most of China, traveling more than 20,000 miles, and plundering people without any rations and supplies, which was really a miracle!

July of the same year.

The northern road battlefield, which had been silent for half a year, finally broke out fiercely. The 120,000 Kwantung Army continued to launch a fierce attack on the Bison Du at all costs, but was hit by Fang Yue's army. The two armies fought fiercely for several days, and suffered casualties from each other, but the Bison Du was still firmly controlled in Fang Yue's hands.

Just as fierce battle broke out in Bison Du, a long-planned conspiracy kicked off in the clouds.

Yuan Shao led a large army back to Jizhou and fought fiercely with the Heishan Army in Julu. The fierce Heishan Army was about to collapse at a touch. More than 70,000 remaining troops began to flee to Yanmen and Yunzhong. Yuan Shao led 30,000 elite soldiers to pursue them and the troops headed straight to Yunzhong! Hearing that the Heishan Army was defeated, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, hurriedly led 20,000 troops to Yunzhong to help the battle.

In addition, Ma Teng's 40,000 troops were stationed in Yunzhong. For a time, 160,000 troops were gathered in Yunzhong, and they were divided into four forces. The situation became extremely complicated! Yuan Shao's army was an enemy but not a friend, Gongsun Zan's army was a friend but not an enemy, but the Heishan army was difficult to distinguish, so Ma Teng did not dare to act rashly and ordered to seize the river and wait and see what happened.

That night, Ma Teng's camp.

Fa Zheng said to Ma Teng: "The general, the Heishan Army and Youzhou Army are very suspicious. I think it is necessary to guard against it."

Ma Teng frowned and said, "Why did your nephew say this?"

Fa Zheng said: "In theory, the foundation of the Heishan Army is in Heishan. If it is defeated, it should retreat to Heishan to seize the danger and defend it. Why retreat to Yunzhong instead? Also, if the Youzhou Army wants to rescue the Heishan Army, then attacking Jizhou and threatening Yuan Shao's army with the back is the most effective strategy. Why do you go far to come to Yunzhong to help the war? This is really contrary to common sense."

Ma Teng nodded and said, "Well, this matter is indeed a bit strange."

Fa Zhengdao: "In view of this, I think that the Youzhou Army and the Heishan Army may have been in a relationship with the Jizhou Army and conspired to plot against our army."

"Nonsense!" Ma Teng's face changed and he shouted, "Don't be polite at a young age. Do you know what the relationship between Lord Gongsun, the governor of Youzhou, and Boqi?"

Fa Zhengjun blushed and whispered: "I don't know."

"The two are really brothers who have become sworn brothers, so how can they betray them?" Ma Teng shouted, "Mr. Gongsun will arrive later. Don't mention this in the future, so as not to hurt the harmony between the two families."

Fa Zheng hugged his fists awkwardly and replied, "Yes."

"Report~~" As soon as Fa Zheng finished speaking, the loud shouts of the junior school suddenly sounded outside the tent, "Governor of Youzhou, Lord Gongsun is here!"

Ma Teng suddenly stood up and said, "Please!"

Amid the heavy footsteps, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, and his cousin Gongsun Fan, had already crossed the tent. Behind the two were a young man with a slender figure. The young man looked very heroic. Although he was only wearing a broken and old straight piece, he could not hide the fierce aura that was revealed during his eyes.

Ma Teng quickly moved forward and clasped his fists and said, "I have met Lord Gongsun."

"Don't dare."

Gongsun Zan hurriedly lifted Ma Teng and bowed respectfully.

Ma Teng glanced at the two behind Gongsun Zan and asked, "Dare you ask Lord Gongsun, who are these two?"

Gongsun Zan pulled Gongsun Fan and the young man to his side and said to Ma Teng: "This is the younger brother of the general, Gongsun Fan, but this is the leader of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan."

Gongsun Fan and Zhang Yan clasped their fists at the same time and said to Ma Teng: "See General."

When Ma Teng heard that the young man was Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, his face changed and he clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that it is Zhang Dacheng, I'm not respectful."

Zhang Yan said modestly: "Why dare to call the leader in front of the general?"

Ma Teng smiled casually and said to Gongsun Zan and the other two: "Please enter the seat, Lord Gongsun and the two generals."

Gongsun Zan and the other two also surrendered, "Please!"

The four of them took the seats in separate guests and before Ma Teng asked questions, Gongsun Zan opened the door and said, "General Ma Teng, we are here to form an alliance to attack Yuan Shao."

"Oh?" Ma Tengsu said, "I hope to hear the details."

Gongsun Zan said: "I have known all the general about Boqi's army and the 23rd Kwantung Army fighting fiercely in Luoyang. However, when Youzhou faces strong pressure from Yuan Shao's army, he really cannot draw out the extra army to go to Luoyang for reinforcements. To be honest, I am really ashamed of Boqi."

Ma Teng said: "Everyone knows the general's difficulties, and I believe Boqi can understand them."

Gongsun Zan said: "Fortunately, with the help of the Heishan Army of Leader Zhang Da, the general was able to repel Yuan Shao's army, and the siege of Jixian County was resolved. The situation in Youzhou is worry-free, and I finally have the ability to do something for Boqi. This time, echoing the Heishan Army north and south, luring Yuan Shao's army to Yunzhong, in order to use the favorable terrain of Yunzhong to defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop."

Ma Teng said: "Oh, so the Black Mountain Army was defeated and was he pretending to be defeated?"

"It's not a pretend defeat, it's a real defeat." Zhang Yan smiled bitterly, "The elite troops in Jizhou are well-known, especially the three elite soldiers led by the powerful generals Zhang He, Jiang Qi and Han Meng are even more unstoppable. Although our Heishan Army is ten times more powerful than the enemy, it was defeated in one battle. Moreover, Yuan Shao's adviser Tian Feng was very tricky, and he took advantage of our army's outing to attack and occupy the Heishan Old Camp. Our army's foundation is completely ruined. Hey~~ If not, the last general would not be shameless to ask for help from the two generals."

Ma Teng turned his head and glanced at Fa Zheng, thinking that's what it was.

Gongsun Zan said: "Although the soldiers of Jizhou are elite, they are not invincible! If you and I join forces, the troops will reach 130,000, which is more than four times that of the soldiers of Jizhou. Moreover, the Iron Cavalry of the Mobei of the two generals, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, can go south at any time to cut off the retreat of Jizhou soldiers. This time, Yuan Shao is really into the trap!"

"I understand!" Ma Teng nodded and said in a low voice, "However, Teng still has a reluctant request, and I hope the two generals can fulfill it."

Gongsun Zan said: "Please tell me, General."

Ma Teng said: "After defeating Yuan Shao's army, I hope that the two generals can lead a large army and a certain united army to Bingzhou, and cooperate with General Fang Yue to defeat Zhang Ji, Wang Kuang, Kong Rong, and Zhangyang the four Kwantung Alliance."

Gongsun Zan said: "That's what it means."

Zhang Yan also said: "It should serve you."

"Okay." Ma Teng said happily, "Then it's decided that this matter is. You and I will join forces to agree on the date~~No, we will launch an attack on Yuan Shaojun tonight. How about it?"

Hulao Pass, Sun Jian’s camp.

Long before the troops sent Hangu Pass, Sun Jian followed Xu Shu's advice and volunteered to stay in Luoyang to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu considered that he wanted to control his retreat in his own hands, so he happily agreed to Sun Jian's request.

After that, the Kwantung Army and Liangzhou Army fought fiercely before Hangu Pass. Jia Dushi used a plague and poisonous plan, and the 300,000 Kwantung Army disappeared. Sun Jian made a quick decision to lead his army to retreat into Hulao Pass and blocked the land passage from Yingchuan in front of Luoyang's capital. The remaining thousands of troops under his command (almost killed by Ma Chao in Xingyang and were wiped out by the entire army) were thus preserved.

Late that night, Xu Shu's figure appeared in Sun Jian's tent.

"See the lord."

"Yuanzhi came late at night, is there something important?"

Xu Shu said in a voice: "Lord, no matter how the battle in the North Road is won or lost, the battle in Hangu Pass has ended. It is meaningless for our army to stay in Hulao Pass again! Now it is time to return to Jiangdong. In addition, Ma Butcher led a side army to harass Xu, and it is time to tell the Grand Sima that the news of Yang was also told."

"Yes." Sun Jian nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's almost time."

Luoyang, Yuan Shu's temporary official residence.

Yuan Shu's body improved slightly. He was helping two personal soldiers to go to the backyard to get some breath. Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded from behind the rockery. A figure flashed. Qiao Rui (nothing nose) with a face covering had already come to Yuan Shu quickly and whispered: "Lord, Lord Sun Jian, the prefect of Wu County, is here, and he said he has something important to report."

Yuan Shu sat down with the help of his personal soldiers and said to Qiao Rui: "Let him come in."

In less than a moment, Sun Jian followed Qiao Rui into the backyard, respectfully bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "See Grand Sima."

"Forget it." Yuan Shu waved his hand weakly and asked, "What's the important thing about Wentai coming here late at night?"

When Qiao Rui turned the rockery and disappeared, Sun Jian lowered his voice and said, "Grand Sima, the general had just received an urgent report from Jiangdong. Two months ago, the butcher of Ma led 8,000 Western Liang cavalry out of Wuguan, passed Jingxiang, and then went down the river. The counties in Yangzhou have become full of fire!"

"Ma Butcher Ma went down the river?" Yuan Shu's expression was cold. It was not until a moment later that he realized what was going on. He was so shocked that he bounced up and said with a sniff, "What!? Are you saying that Ma Butcher Ma has led 8,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry into Yangzhou?"

Sun Jian nodded with a serious expression.

Yuan Shu asked in a furious manner: "When did this happen?"

Sun Jian said: "Two months ago."

"What? Two months ago!?" Yuan Shu roared, "Why are you here to report now?"

Sun Jian said ashamed: "The last general just learned about it."
