Authority is a heavy weapon. Since it is heavy, you need to have some strength to be able to pick it up, and you also need to be able to play with it. Not everyone can do it. If you don’t have enough strength,
Strength, of course, is not only physical strength, but also intelligence. Then not only will you not be able to enjoy the benefits brought by authority, but you will be hurt by authority.
It's just that in this world, there are always people who think they can play with power, but they forget that he is not the only one in this world...
The world is not centered on any one person. The sooner you realize this, the more objective you will be, and the more you will be able to take advantage of certain things.
When Wei Duan realized that he could not replace Pang Tong's ideas with his own, and had to consider the problem from Pang Tong's perspective, he discovered a fatal oversight in his previous ideas.
Staying safe at home, on the one hand, can protect the family as much as possible, and on the other hand, it can also prove that one is not involved in the current riots among the three assistants in Chang'an, which is very reasonable.
But the problem is that this rationality is that of Wei Duan, not that of Pang Tong, nor that of General Hussar.
If Wei Duan was an opposition figure, there would be no problem in doing so. Just like when he had not held any important positions before, Fei Qian was assassinated in Chang'an City, and then he encountered the Rangers causing rebellion, etc., that
At that time, Wei Duan kept close to the door and never came out, and there was no problem at all.
Well, I can’t say there’s no problem at all, but it’s not a big problem.
But now it doesn’t work anymore, the situation has changed...
Wei Duan is currently the dean of the Senate Law Academy!
Although it is still an uncertain question how much authority the Senate and Lawyers Yuan has, at least the name is hanging high there, and Wei Duan's entire family has also benefited from having this title. So now if Wei Duan
Duan continues to stay behind closed doors...
Opposition officials or minor officials can stay at home, but as the dean of the Council of Laws, you should not and absolutely cannot close the door of your house and act as if you can't see or hear anything!
What is the Law Council? In name, it is still in charge of the institution that consults the laws of the Han Dynasty. As the functional leader of such an institution, if he pretends not to know anything when facing the current turmoil of Chang'an Sanfu, then
What does it mean?
Wei Duan was so anxious that he was sweating, but he couldn't run in a hurry, because the whole of Chang'an was under martial law, and soldiers holding bows and crossbows were standing on the high platforms on both sides of the street. Wei Duan could even feel that someone was using a bow.
The crossbow was aimed at him, causing bursts of soreness and numbness on his back. He wanted to scratch it, but he was afraid that the movement would be too big and cause misunderstanding...
Walk one section, stop one section, report, report back, and then continue forward. The journey that originally only took one stick of incense to reach, Wei Duan walked for less than half an hour, and when he finally arrived in front of the Hussar General's Mansion
When he was walking, he saw Ma Yan standing on the square in armor, and then suddenly remembered, no wonder so many soldiers suddenly appeared near Chang'an, on the one hand for inspection, and more importantly on the other hand, it was the military academy!
These military academy soldiers usually practice and study in Xianyang Plains and rarely appear in public view. Therefore, it was only now that Wei Duan suddenly realized that there was such a military column, let alone
Ordinary gentry children who don’t even know whether there is a military academy.
Of course, Wei Duan still doesn't know that Jia Xu of Longyou has sent many soldiers here...
Having seen General Ma... Wei Duan bowed his hand to Ma Yan and greeted him. If this had happened before, Wei Duan would not have had any sympathy with a martial artist, but the current situation was uncontrollable and he had to bow his head when he should.
Ma Yan slightly arched his hands in return, then still stood in front of the government office, paying no attention to Wei Duan.
Haha, I met Yuan Zheng... What happened to Yuan Zheng that delayed him? He came so slowly... Half of his figure showed up at the porch of the General's Mansion, and he said a word, but he didn't know how important it was...
Wei Duan turned around and saw that he was confused.
Wei Duan cursed secretly in his heart and was about to speak when another figure came out. Brother Wei's family has a big business, so naturally it will take some time to deal with it...
Brother Li Xian... Wei Duan's beard trembled, why are you here?
The younger brother was just taking a rest... When he encountered this, he naturally went to Qiusi's command to take orders... Li Yuan said with a smile. He originally thought he would see Brother Wei when he got here, but he didn't expect to wait for a long time...
Wei Duan couldn't help but feel that he had a toothache. He took a breath and changed the subject: Have you ever seen Pang Lingjun? He was late, no matter how many explanations he gave, he couldn't change this fact, and it made him even more uncomfortable.
People feel that they are looking for various reasons to quibble, so they simply change the topic and avoid talking about it.
Haha... not yet... Zhongjie smiled and had no intention of chasing after him. He shrank back under the shadow of the porch and stopped talking. Since Wei Duan has already arrived, arriving early is an attitude, and arriving late is also an attitude.
Attitude, Zhongjie can just point it out. As for the follow-up matters, naturally it is not under Zhongjie's control. If we insist on this point, it will make people feel that they have lost their dignity. Even if Wei Duan falls, I am afraid it will
It's not my turn to go up.
Li Yuan was still smiling, and called Wei Duan to come and stand with him. Pang Lingjun was busy and hadn't summoned him... But... that's about it...
Li Yuan glanced at the horizon, and there was already a faint light.
Wei Duan's heart skipped a beat and he turned around to look. Then he realized something and broke into a cold sweat. Then he felt a little bit lucky...
……(o_o)?!……
The darkness before dawn is often the most deadly time.
Even the deepest dreams should wake up at dawn. If you can wake up naturally, you will probably only feel a little regretful. But if you are awakened midway, then the dream may turn into a nightmare.
Is the cleanup complete? Ma Yue asked.
The military lord behind Ma Yue held his hands, and there was still some blood dripping down from the gaps in the armor on his body.
After investigating more than a hundred thieves, they have all been killed! Is it necessary to hang their heads in front of the pass? The military prince was full of murderous intent, and there was also a hint of pride in his tone.
It is quite difficult for a military lord to move up a level. Now that he has more than a hundred heads of people who have made achievements, the hope of taking another step up is naturally greater.
Tongguan was originally a pass, mainly for military garrison. After receiving Pang Tong's order, Ma Yue had already launched a clearing of the pass before the rebels arrived. Zuo Fengyi's men who had previously ambushed thought they had been exposed.
, and there is no way to obtain timely information like later generations, or they will be killed due to stubborn resistance, or they will surrender and be captured.
By the time these rebels arrived, Tongguan had already been cleaned up and down.
According to the original plan of the rebel army, they first lured Ma Yue to lead the troops out, and then the people lurking in Tongguan could take advantage of the opportunity to take action. Then, with their future unknown and their escape route cut off, Ma Yue and others would inevitably be in chaos.
At that time, it would naturally not require much effort to defeat Ma Yue in one fell swoop and seize Tongguan.
And now...
No rush... Ma Yue looked at Guan Xia.
The reason why Ma Yue didn't deal with the thieves in Tongguan was not because Ma Yue looked down on the merits of those heads, but because he had a bigger piece of meat in front of him...
Outside Tongguan, the Yang family, Ma family and others were looking forward to it eagerly, but there was no news in Tongguan. They waited from midnight to dawn, but they did not get the situation they wanted.
Many of the rebels were already exhausted after working hard all night. After setting up a camp, they were ordered to wait, but when the Sandman came, there was nothing these guys could contend with, and everyone was thinking about it.
Anyway, it's fine if you take a nap, others just hold on, and then everyone goes to sleep.
So after Ma Yue solved the internal problems in Tongguan, he quietly gathered his troops, opened the gate of Tongguan and separated into three queues to attack the rebel camp, most of these guys were still sleeping...
Ma Yue ordered that he should rush into the rebel camp as quickly as possible and deal a devastating blow to the sleeping rebels. He also assigned a hundred rangers to roam around the periphery, responsible for chasing down some scattered escapees.
When the deafening sound of horse hooves sounded, these rebels were still in a dazed state, unable to even subconsciously defend themselves.
Ma Yue and others rushed out of the darkness like ghosts and gods!
Although a large part of the rebel army is county soldiers, as well as private soldiers who have received certain basic training, the quality of such soldiers cannot be compared with the professional soldiers under the hussars, not to mention that the rebel army's respective commanders are in chaos.
, although there are a lot of things like Du Wei and Xiao Lieutenant, but the false name does not allow the strength to be increased in the same way. On the contrary, because each family is Du Wei and Xiao Wei, the orders are confused and cannot be coordinated.
Yang Shuo was woken up, and then he let out a scream as if a chrysanthemum had been stabbed. It was shrill and creepy. Someone was hijacking the camp! The camp was hijacked...
This is a massacre.
On one side is the hunter who has been planning for a long time, is fierce and experienced, and on the other side is the prey who is immersed in sleep.
Ma Yue has been training cavalry in Yinshan for so many years, so he is naturally good at commanding such small-scale raids. The galloping cavalry broke through the insignificant fortifications of the rebel camp at the fastest speed, and then rushed into the rebel camp.
In the meantime, the entire queue took turns to penetrate, drive, and surround the rebel camp in small groups.
The hussars are extremely fast, which makes it difficult for the rebel army to adapt. They are often just preparing to fight against the group in front of them, and then the group behind them kills their own flanks. In addition, the hussars have strong armor and are brave and good at fighting.
The military camp quickly fell into chaos. It seemed that fighting was happening everywhere. There were roars and screams everywhere. Coupled with the sound of hoofbeats of war horses and the clash of weapons, it became increasingly unclear where the rebels were.
Where are we, and which direction should we go? Over there are the enemies, and over there are our own people.
The rebel army tried every means to get Ma Yue and others out of the city, and even deliberately built the camp to be full of flaws. But they didn't expect that when Ma Yue came out, they couldn't hold it!
The originally sworn and confident people of the Ma family were staring at Tongguan eagerly. They were ecstatic, feeling that their plan had finally succeeded. Then they eagerly waited for a rebellion to break out in Tongguan, so that they could fight back and capture Tongguan in one fell swoop.
, but I didn’t expect that Tongguan was so quiet, as if they were laughing at them silently...
Then the swords and guns of Ma Yue and other hussar soldiers were raised in front of their eyes!
The disorder and chaos of the rebel army eventually led to the final disaster of the rebel army.
Although some rebels resisted Ma Yue and others, it was of no use. More rebels blew up their camps and fled in all directions. Some of them were dazed and even bumped into the hoofs of Ma Yue and others' horses.
He was trampled and kicked directly by the galloping horses, which was terrible to see.
The chaos in the camp was extremely chaotic. The soldiers of the rebel army did not know which captain to listen to, and those newly promoted captains and captains could not find their own soldiers, so they had to fight on their own. There were quite a few rebel soldiers.
Before the soldiers knew what was happening, they were cut down to the ground and died.
Ma Yue's spear was as if it had eyes. It was extremely sharp in the dark night, fast, accurate and ruthless, reaping the lives of the soldiers in front of him one by one.
Except for Zhan Liuzha like Fei Qian, most generals look at their surroundings. If they are surrounded by a group of mediocre players, even one or two masters will gradually be lowered to their original level.
, and if you are surrounded by strong players, then the weaker party will be promoted unknowingly.
When Ma Yue was in Yinshan at the beginning, he had been partnering with Zhao Yun for a long time. Naturally, the two people had to compete with each other in martial arts. Ma Yue, who used Zhao Yun as his benchmark and his opponent, immediately discovered the rebels in front of him.
They are simply a herd of cattle and sheep, even worse than cattle and sheep.
Cattle and sheep also know how to hide, but these guys don't even know how to hide...
The hussars were galloping back and forth, waving their spears and swords like the wind. The heads and limbs of the rebels were flying, and blood was everywhere. They were running like wolves and crying, and they were all scurrying around like headless flies.
People slaughter.
Ma Yue soon lost the nature of killing ordinary rebels and began to look for more valuable targets on the battlefield, and soon discovered Yang Shuo and others.
After Yang Shuo was awakened, his first thought was that the camp had been hijacked, and his second thought was to escape. When Yang Shuo secretly ran out from behind the tent, he saw that the rebels had no way to fight back.
He lost all his courage and fled hurriedly. Then he turned around and suddenly found that Ma's people were also running away.
Yang Shuo:......
The original plan of the Ma family was ideal, wonderful, and even comprehensive to a certain extent. It first caused chaos around Linjin, and then the county magistrate in Linjin County was one of his own, and then he controlled the people at hand.
As long as the Jingshan military camp clears Tongguan, it can be connected with the Yang family of Hongnong. It can also further use the secret passage to seize Hangu Pass, and then connect with Cao Cao, and then it will be stable...
But now Ma Yue slapped him without any politeness. The slap made the Ma family members dizzy and cried for their fathers and mothers. However, no matter how reluctant they were, when faced with the current situation, the Ma family members were stunned.
The man had no choice but to run away, because he knew that once he was caught by Ma Yue, he would die an ugly death, so the Ma family quickly found Zhao Qilang, and then took advantage of the chaos in the camp to escape.
When Yang Shuo saw Ma Yue riding straight towards him, he was so frightened that he flew out of his wits. Then at the critical moment, he suddenly had an idea and jumped off the horse. He yelled for surrender and pointed in the direction in which Ma's people were escaping.
Over there! That’s the person in charge!
Ma Yue looked in the direction pointed by Yang Shuo and saw that some people seemed to be guarding someone, so he shook his spear and let it pass the tip of the spear, then whipped Yang Shuo to the ground and tied him up.
!Then he turned his horse's head and chased in the direction where Ma's people fled.
What is connected to one place by interests will often be separated by interests in the end.
When the people of the Ma family fled, they thought that Yang Shuo would be more obvious and attract Ma Yue's attention. But what he didn't expect was that Yang Shuo, as a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, would beg for surrender regardless of his face!
If Yang Shuo was a descendant of the main family of the Yang family in Hongnong, he might still be hesitant, but unfortunately, Yang Shuo is just a branch of the Yang family, and because Yang Shuo travels around all the year round and does business, he has long been contaminated.
As a businessman, once he saw that there was no immediate benefit, he immediately decided to cut off his flesh and leave the business, at least to save his life. How could he let the people of the Ma family get what they wanted?
As a result, the people of the Ma family were forced to face Ma Yue's increasingly closer pursuit...
Lieutenant Zhao, no, General Zhao! The Ma family turned around and shouted to Zhao Qilang, General Zhao quickly led his people to intercept this thief. On the day when...he returns, General Zhao's meritorious deeds will not be forgotten!
Zhao Qilang originally brought out one or two hundred cavalry from the military camp, but he was unable to enter Linjin City. He was somewhat disappointed. Then he followed Ma's people to Tongguan.
I became a captain, and now I heard that I have become a general again. This series of three-level jumps are naturally very satisfying, but no matter how wonderful it is, it is only because I have a life that I can feel good. If they all turn into four petals, even if it is temporary
No matter how cool it is, what’s the use in the future?
And after the previous impulse, Zhao Qilang suddenly felt how unreliable what Ma said originally...
First they said there was no problem in Linjin, then Linjin turned out to be a problem, and later they said it would be OK if Tongguan was opened, and Tongguan was definitely no problem, but now it has become like this, again and again, maybe it is understandable, and again and again,
So what's the point of playing monkey?
Zhao Qilang glanced at the Ma family, then turned to look at the horse behind him that was getting closer and closer. He quickly assessed the current situation and found that although both sides were riding horses, it was obvious that the one with the higher horse had better riding skills.
Well, the war horse needs to be stronger and faster. If nothing happens, after one or two sticks of incense, he will probably be overtaken!
But if he really turns back and fights for his life...
Don't be kidding, Zhao Qilang's risking his life to gain wealth is just an adjective, and he doesn't really want to turn it into a verb!
Zhao! General! Jun! Ma's people also made some guesses when they saw this, and couldn't help but gnashed their teeth and shouted, don't forget the wives and children in Linjin!
Zhao Qilang was stunned for a moment, then glared angrily. After a moment, he suddenly smiled, reached out and twisted his waist, and slashed at the Ma family member with a knife!
Ma's man screamed and dodged hastily, but he didn't completely avoid it. He was cut with a bloody wound and fell off his horse with a scream! Ma's guard obviously did not expect such a situation, and suddenly screamed in shock
, and quickly turned around to grab Ma.
Zhao Qilang whistled and led the people to flee, because he knew that it was not him who Ma Yue was chasing, and he and the Ma family did not have a master-servant relationship, they were just using each other, and a disaster was imminent.
Naturally, they broke up in one fell swoop!
Sure enough, Ma Yue valued Ma's son more, and swept over like a strong wind, beating Ma's guards to pieces. After successfully capturing Ma, he turned to look at Zhao Qilang and others, and they had disappeared into the night.
