The sun and the sun set, the moon goes to the east and the moon goes to the west, time passes by inadvertently and then becomes the past.
Zhao Yun led his army to the west at the turn of spring and summer. In autumn, news came that he led 8,000 tooth soldiers and 6,000 county soldiers to defeat the enemy 400 miles west of Jiuquan.
The main force of the Wusun people killed 5,000 people in formation, captured more than 30,000 people, and captured 300,000 cattle, sheep, and horses.
Later, he led Wusun's surrender army to the gates of Bo Chigu City, forcing the Wusun monarch to sign an alliance under the city. After this battle, the Western Region was shaken, and the people of Di Yi heard the name of China again.
Ma Yunlu showed joy on his face and asked: "Since we have won the battle, are we coming back?"
Liu Qian glanced at her and continued to read the contents of the "Yinchuan Daily". It is said to be a daily newspaper, but in fact it comes out every three to five days, six or seven times a month. It often contains government edicts, and then
There are some mythological and strange novels. Recently, a man named Wu Chengen serialized an article "Journey to the West" in a newspaper, which attracted a lot of attention in Yinchuan.
"...We attacked Cheshi again, Loulan and other countries were defeated, and all the countries sent envoys to the dynasty..."
Ma Yunlu said eagerly: "Oh, stop reading, I'll ask you when they will come back!"
Liu Qian threw the newspaper on the ground and said jokingly: "Why, you can't help it?"
Ma Yunlu's face turned red, and white smoke seemed to be coming out of her nose and ears. She stammered: "Can't bear it... What can't you bear? I'm so bored at home alone...
....Yes, it’s just too boring!”
"Hmph," Liu Qian grabbed the silk cloth and polished the horizontal knife until it shined, "It's not like we haven't seen those cows and horses before, so why are you pretending?"
"Can it be the same?" Ma Yunlu retorted: "Obviously they are different from people!"
Liu Qian wiped the knife for a while, but she couldn't calm down in her heart. She left the silk cloth on the table bitterly, pouted and said: "General Zhao and the others won't be able to come back this year. It's been said in the newspaper
, they will establish the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions, and will not return to the court until next spring."
Ma Yunlu said: "The things in the newspaper are for outsiders to see, so they can't be accurate! Didn't you hear Chen Shijun say something else?"
Liu Qian became a little wary and asked, "Who told you this?"
"Bah, who told me what?" Ma Yunlu said proudly: "Can't it be my own idea?"
"Among the three of us, you are the one who dislikes using your brain the least, and you get the lowest grades in every exam!" Liu Qian turned around and asked Zi Jia'er, who was watching with laughter, "You
Say so?"
Zi Jia'er didn't expect that the flames of war would ignite on her body. She was stunned and said hesitantly: "This..."
"Huh, just think I'm the stupidest," Ma Yunlu came up and took Liu Qian's hand and shook it, "Just tell me if you have any top-secret information."
Liu Qian opened her hand angrily and said angrily: "You already know it's top secret information, but you still want me to tell you? Don't you know military law? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't pry if you shouldn't pry.
.Otherwise, for the sake of General Zhao and you, Master, I may not kill you, but others will lose their heads."
Thinking of the harsh military laws, Ma Yunlu shut her mouth obediently. But after a while, she couldn't sit still and shouted: "What's the point of reading here? Let's go out and ride horses!"
Ma Teng is a Hu-hua Han. The first wife he married was a Qiang and gave birth to his eldest son Ma Chao. Later, when he became rich, he married a Han woman and gave birth to Ma Xiu and Ma Tie. Such a Hu style prevailed.
Naturally, it is impossible to raise a beautiful lady in a family.
Ma Yunlu has liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as those of his brother Ma Chao or Zhao Yun, he can still compare with Liu Qian. Of course, in the long run, Liu Qian's potential is better than hers
of.
Liu Qian was somewhat moved when she heard that she was going to ride a horse. She looked at the sky and saw that it didn't look like it was going to rain, so she agreed. They led the horses and went straight out of the west gate under the protection of the tooth soldiers.
To the west is the Helan Mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles. The tall mountains block the cold air currents, so the grassland at the foot of the Helan Mountain is very lush. You can see many cattle and sheep grazing on the grass leisurely in the distance.
When they just left the city gate, there were two messengers outside the east gate carrying flags on their backs and rushed into the city gate quickly.
"Hey, why is Tanma running so fast? Could it be that something big happened?"
"What other big things can happen? General Zhao must have conquered another country in the Western Region."
"Are you stupid? If the news comes from the Western Region, if you don't go through the west gate, you will go through the south gate. How come you go through the east gate?"
"You are stupid, your whole family is stupid!"
"screw you!"
The two people who were quarreling stared at each other and cursed each other for a while, but finally did not make a move. Now those black dogs wearing white leggings have more control. If they are caught fighting, they will be sent to the mine to do it.
A few days of hard work. This is a treatment only available to Chinese people. If they look like Hu people, it may be a year and a half. Moreover, Hu people are different from Chinese people and are often discriminated against. Even if they are rich, they will be treated as coolies.
It doesn't necessarily work.
After Yan Zhong from Shangshu Province got the news, he pondered for a moment, and then sent someone to notify Jia Xu, the minister in charge of his affairs. Then he took the paper and went to Chen Cheng's house. Chen Cheng had some free time these days.
I am painting, drinking tea, and playing with the dog in my house.
As the leader of a state, there are many people below who flatter me. After revealing the idea of raising a few dogs, someone soon sent four newly weaned native dogs. The four native dogs were only the size of a palm, and they had just arrived.
They were still a little shy at first, but after Chen Cheng fed them twice, they became more active.
Two of them were spotted, one was black, and the other was khaki. The four puppies were all bloated with food. At this time, they followed Chen Cheng's footsteps and ran around in the backyard. Yan Zhong walked hurriedly
He came in, stood under the eaves of the corridor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from General Xu Rong!"
Chen Cheng took a few steps and walked over slowly, took the military report from Yan Zhong's hand, glanced at it a few times, and said, "Isn't it what Bo Dao expected?"
Yan Zhong smiled and said: "I just said it was possible, but I didn't expect that Lu Bu really planned to join forces with Dong Zhuo to attack us. In addition to this military report, General Xu Rong also sent an encrypted urgent message. You can guess it
What’s written in it?”
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the Huns or the Xianbei people in Mobei did something strange?"
It was the first time for the four native dogs to see Yan Zhong, and they all made threatening sounds at him. Yan Zhong was about to fight, but the four puppies were frightened and ran behind Chen Cheng whimpering.
.
"no."
"Xu Rong is in charge of Wuyuan and Shangjun. If the news he sends has nothing to do with the Huns and Xianbei people, what else can it be?"
Chen Cheng said: "I'm too lazy to guess, Bo Dao, just tell me directly."
Yan Zhong smiled and said: "Li Ru sent someone to deliver news to Xu Rong, saying that Lu Bu wanted to join forces with them to attack us in the autumn."
"...."
What is this? Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Dong Zhuo wants Lu Bu to attract our attention, or does he want us to attract Lu Bu's attention?"
"Guanzhong is close to Bingzhou, and Liangzhou is far away from Bingzhou, so Dong Zhuo probably wants us to attract Lu Bu's attention."
"Lu Bu is not a fool. How could he not be wary of Dong Zhuo at all? If he transferred all his main forces to attack Liangzhou, wouldn't Dong Zhuo raid his hometown?"
Yan Zhong laughed and said, "So Dong Zhuo is secretly communicating with us about the music?"
"What does Bo Dao mean?"
Yan Zhong stroked his beard and said: "What Dong Zhuo means is that he first pretends to attack Shangjun and Wuyuan. Seeing Bingzhou sending troops, Lu Bu will not have any worries, so that he can safely send troops to Xiliang, and then Dong Zhongying can take advantage of the opportunity
We have entered the pass."
"Even without Dong Zhuo, wouldn't Lu Bu worry about the court? He Jin's troops are still very powerful."
"Have you not read the latest military report?"
"Well, the military report sent by Menxia Province was not marked as urgent, so I put it aside for now and prepared to read it tomorrow. What's wrong?"
Yan Zhong said: "Yuan Shu's army went to attack Yingchuan. Ji Ling, Li Feng and other generals held back the enemy's main force in the front, and then sent Sun Jian to flank He Jin's army with 30,000 troops and horses. The imperial troops and horses were defeated, with tens of thousands of casualties. He Jin is now
Unable to protect itself, Yingchuan fell into the hands of Yuan Shu again."
"What were the losses of the Northern Army?"
"I don't know about this yet, but I heard that He Jin deployed a large part of his troops to deal with Cao Mengde in Dongjun. Maybe a part of the Northern Army was also deployed."
From Luoyang to Dongjun, they basically line up along the Yellow River. Now that Yingchuan County has been captured by Yuan Shu, the imperial troops and horses may be cut off at any time. Chen Cheng thought about the terrain of the Central Plains and said: "Yuan Shu is
Haven't you already captured Hulao Pass?"
"It will take a few days to find out."
While they were talking, Jia Xu had already arrived. As soon as he came in, he saluted first Chen Cheng, then Yan Zhong, and then asked: "I wonder why Yan Shangshu called me here?"
General Chen Cheng handed him the report and said: "Lü Bu secretly united with Dong Zhuo and wanted to attack our Liangzhou together. Dong Zhuo superficially agreed with Lü Bu's proposal, but turned around and wanted to join forces with us to kill Lü Bu and then divide Guanzhong equally."
General Jia Xu took the newspaper and read it. It said that Guanzhong and Bingzhou were hoarding grain and grass, with the intention of using foreign troops. He also specifically wrote that the prices of grain and cloth in the two places had risen a lot in just half a month.
.
He pondered for a while and asked: "General Han Sui is in Chang'an. Has he got any news?"
Yan Zhong and Chen Cheng looked at each other, and then smiled: "Why should Wen He ask knowingly? What news can Han Wen get back from his appointment with Guanzhong? It's just nonsense."
Jia Xu said: "General Zhao Yun is leading his troops outside now. If Guanzhong and Bingzhou come to attack together, we will be somewhat passive. Although Dong Zhuo secretly communicates with us, the truth can be turned into a fake, and the fake can also be
Becoming real.”
Yan Zhong snorted and said: "Dong Zhuo is not as far-reaching as Huangfu Song in terms of his troops. We are not even afraid of Huangfu Song. How can we be afraid of Dong Zhongying?"
