Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

At this moment Ma Teng drew out his saber, then threw the saber aside, gripped the scabbard tightly, stepped forward and slammed on Ma Chao fiercely.Ma Chao felt the pain of the scabbard pulling on his body, gritted his silver teeth, but didn't say a word.

Ma Teng hit Ma Chao dozens of times, just now he was a little relieved, then he turned around and wanted to hit Ma Dai, but seeing the horrific injuries on Ma Dai, Ma Teng just gave up.

This Ma Dai was seriously injured by Dian Wei's blow, and now he just barely woke up, and the injury is still serious.

Ma Yuan stopped Ma Teng's actions at this time, and then Ma Yuan stepped up, covering Ma Chao with incomparable power.At this time, Ma Chao did not dare to resist Ma Yuan's power, but bowed his head in silence.

At this time Ma Yuan said: "It means that you led three thousand cavalry to rescue Han Sui. In the end, not only did you fail to rescue Han Sui, but you also lost troops and lost generals. You only brought back 1000 people, and the most important thing is that Yun Lu was killed. Then Gongsun continued to be captured?"

Ma Chao lowered his head at this moment, and said: "My nephew is convicted, please also ask my uncle to give me three thousand soldiers and horses, and I will kill and rescue Yun Lu from Gongsunxu's camp."

At this time, Ma Yuan sneered again and again: "Three thousand soldiers, you have the confidence to rescue Yunlu? Where did you get such arrogant confidence?"

Seeing Ma Chao's unconvinced look, Ma Yuan said, "Do you think your military strength is already invincible in the world, and how many powerful generals Gongsun Xu has under his command, what can you do alone?"

Ma Chao argued at this time: "The nephews under Gongsun Xu's command don't take it seriously, as long as my uncle gives my nephew three thousand soldiers and horses, my nephew will definitely be able to save Yun Lu from that Gongsun Xu's clutches. "

Ma Yuan said angrily: "Don't take it seriously? Are you saying that the few people under Gongsun Xu's command are not your opponents? If that's the case, why were you stopped by Zhao Yun in the last battle? Why did you rescue Han Sui this time?" You will be blocked by Chang Yuchun, if you are truly invincible, then why are the heads of Zhao Yun and Chang Yuchun not placed in front of me now."

"And even if Zhao Yun and Chang Yuchun are not your opponents, and Gongsun Xu has Dian Wei under his command, do you think he is not your opponent? Even if one of them can't beat you, if the three of them fight together, do you think you will be defeated?" How much life is left?"

Ma Chao was speechless after being told by Ma Yuan, so he had to lower his head and remain silent.

At this time Ma Teng said: "Meng Qi, why did Yun Lu appear in the army? I didn't let her join the army."

Ma Chao said: "Father, before the army set off, Yunlu came to me and said that he was going to go out with the army. I couldn't bear it for a while, so I took her with me. I thought Yunlu would not be in any danger with Daidi and me here. Yes. But who would have thought"

At this time, Ma Teng resisted his plan to hack Ma Chao to death with his sword, and angrily scolded: "I don't think so? Do you know that it is because of your arrogance that Yun Lu fell into the hands of Gongsun Xu? If something happens to Yun Lu, I will never let you go."

At this moment, Ma Teng looked back at Ma Yuan and asked, "Second brother, what do you think we should do now?"

Ma Yuan leaned one hand on the saber hanging from his waist, looked solemnly, and slowly uttered two words.

"retreat."

"Retreat?" As soon as Ma Yuan finished speaking, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai looked at Ma Yuan in shock.

Ma Teng said: "Second brother, shouldn't we have to retreat now? We also have nearly ten thousand soldiers in our hands. Although we have lost a few battles at the hands of Gongsun Xu, we are not incapable of fighting. We shouldn't have to retreat, right? ?”

Ma Yuan said at this time: "Now all the troops under our command add up to less than [-] people. The number of Gongsun's army may be a little less than ours, but it will not be much less. Previously, when our number surpassed that of Gongsun's army, we all We have not been able to defeat Gongsun Xu. Now we have fewer people than them. How can we defeat them? The most important thing is that our soldiers are already afraid of the Gongsun army. If the army continues to fight, I am afraid that our army will be defeated as soon as it fights with the Gongsun army, so the best way now is to withdraw our troops and return to Jinyang, and use Jinyang City to resist the Gongsun army. Without an army of [-] to [-], it is impossible to take us down."

At this moment, Ma Chao asked in a broken voice, "Uncle, what about Yun Lu? We can never leave her in the Gongsun army. What will Gongsun Xuerer do to Yun Lu?"

Ma Yuan glanced at Ma Chao, but shook his head, and said, "I will send someone to the Gongsun army camp to see if I can exchange Yun Lu from Gongsun Xu, but don't hold out too much hope. Now that Gongsun Xu has the upper hand, I'm afraid he won't let Yun Lu back so easily."

At this moment, Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Gongsun Xu, if Yunlu suffers any injuries, I will demand ten times the repayment from you."

Looking at Ma Chao's appearance, Ma Yuan shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry too much, that Gongsun Xu is now a prince, but only the eldest grandson Wugou has a monogamous wife, and he is not a lustful person. "

At this time, Ma Chao's expression softened a little: "It's better to be like this."

Afterwards, Ma Yuan gave an order: "Now the whole army is preparing to withdraw immediately and return to Jinyang. Brother, you choose someone to represent my Ma family as an envoy to the Gongsun army camp, and see if you can exchange Yunlu back."

Ma Yuan said the last sentence to Ma Teng, Ma Teng nodded, and gave Ma Chao and Ma Dai a hard look before walking out of the big tent.

Ma Teng walked out of the big tent and Ma Yuan said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, hurry up and take Xiao Dai to heal his wounds, don't delay the treatment."

After Ma Chao heard the words, he got up and took Ma Dai out of the big tent, and after everyone left the big tent, Ma Yuan returned to his place, spread out a roll of bamboo slips, and wrote on it with a pen something.

He is now defeated in Bingzhou, and has been defeated by Gongsun Xu repeatedly. He has also lost many generals. Although Yang Qiu and Yan Xing under Han Sui's command escaped in the end, the losses are still very heavy.And everything that happened in Bingzhou must be known to Ying Zheng who is now in Liangzhou, so what Ma Yuan wrote was the situation of his confrontation with Gongsun Xu in the past few days, and in the end Ma Yuan still asked Ying Zheng Ask for military support.

Ma Yuan didn't have any personal subjective factors in this report, but just wrote out everything that happened during this period of time.Ma Yuan believes that Ying Zheng must be able to make a correct judgment.

The Liangzhou army in the Liangzhou army camp began to move, and when it was about to withdraw, the envoy sent by Ma Teng also came to the Gongsun army camp. Facing the morale of the Gongsun army, this horse The family envoy was not afraid, so it could be seen that he was not an ordinary person.

However, when the envoy expressed his intention to redeem Ma Yunlu, Gongsun Xu clearly rejected the envoy's request, and sent the envoy out of his camp under some intimidation. .

Listening to the words of the envoys they sent, Ma Teng and Ma Yuan have nothing to do. The situation in Yangqu County is that Gongsun Xu has the upper hand, and they can't use their troops to force Ma Yun, the general of Gongsun Xu. If Lu was released back, it might be just what Gongsun Xu wanted, and it would be extremely unfavorable to them.

After that, Ma Yuan and Ma Teng had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​redeeming Ma Yunlu from Gongsun Xu. The most important thing for them now is to bring back the Liangzhou soldiers who have less than 1 soldiers under their command. Jinyang, and then rely on Jinyang City to resist Gongsun Xu's attack.

And when Gongsun Xu knew that Ma Yuan had started to withdraw his troops, he quickly led his troops to the Liangzhou army camp, but at this time, there was no one in the Liangzhou army camp, only the people left Some of the damaged tents used by the Liangzhou army did not leave any supplies for Gongsun Xu.

Chapter 4

After Ma Yuan withdrew his troops, Gongsun Xu led several generals under his command and a total of [-] soldiers to Jinyang, but at this time Ma Yuan and others had already withdrawn to Jinyang City. Jinyang at this time was the city. The door was closed tightly, and there were a large number of Liangzhou troops stationed on the city wall.

Gongsun Xu rode on a white-feathered horse and wore the Tianyun Dragon Armor, looking at Jinyang City, which had already entered a state of strict defense, but remained silent. Then Gongsun Xu asked Xu Da beside him: "Tiande, If you lead troops to attack Jinyang, are you sure you can capture Jinyang City?"

Xu Da smiled wryly, and said: "General, since ancient times, cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now there are 8000 Liangzhou troops in Jinyang, and the strength we can use is only [-]. Jinyang is difficult, let alone conquering Jinyang. And Ma Yuan is also a general on the battlefield. If our forces are too scattered, it may give him an opportunity, and the situation will not be good for us. gone."

Gongsun Xu sighed. He also knew that with the 8000 people in his hands, it was impossible to capture Jinyang City. He just asked Xu Da just in case.But even Xu Da couldn't capture Jinyang under such circumstances, and Mingjing's power is strongest in Youzhou, Jizhou and other places, but it's a little weak in Bingzhou, and it can't be under the current situation. Aids in siege.

And that Ma Yuan is also a general, with him guarding Jinyang, it will be more difficult to attack the city.

However, Gongsun Xu still felt very sorry. It was hard to defeat Ma Yuan, but Gongsun Xu did not expect that Ma Yuan would be so decisive. After two consecutive defeats, he withdrew to Jinyang City, making Gongsun Xu unable to give This Ma Yuan was hit harder.

After wandering outside Jinyang City for a while, Gongsun Xu returned to the Gongsun Army camp outside Jinyang City, and when Gongsun Xu just returned to the camp, Ling Jing stepped forward to ask Gongsun Xu A piece of paper was handed over.

Gongsun Xu was puzzled, so he opened this piece of paper, and after reading the content on the paper, Gongsun Xu couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart, and said: "Gongsun Mei did a good job."

After hearing Gongsun Xu's words, Xu Da and the others were moved in their hearts, and asked, "General, is it the good news from General Gongsun Mei?"

Gongsun Xu nodded, and handed the battle report in his hand to Xu Da, saying: "Gongsun Mei has already captured the three counties of Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong, and now there are four counties in the nine counties of Bingzhou." It fell into our hands."

Xu Da and the others also showed joy after reading the battle report. If Gongsun Mei can have such a record, then the bloody battle between them and Ma Yuan in the past few days is not useless.

Originally they just wanted to contain Ma Yuan in Taiyuan so that Ma Yuan would not send troops to interfere with Gongsun Mei leading troops to attack Dingxiang and other counties, but due to various reasons, they ended up fighting Ma Yuan here in Yangqu. In the end, the result was good. Not only did they defeat Ma Yuan, but they also drove Ma Yuan back to Jinyang.Although they can't attack Jinyang now, it is impossible for Ma Yuan to come out of Jinyang City in a short time. The purpose of sending troops to merge the state was successfully completed.

After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Gongsun Xu called all the civil and military members under his command. The sons and men had almost arrived, and then Gongsun Xu revealed his plan.

"Everyone, now that Gongsunmei has conquered Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong, we now have four counties in Bingzhou, which is enough to rival the Liangzhou army. Jinyang City, but Jinyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Ma Yuan is also a veteran in the battlefield. We can't take down Jinyang with only [-] soldiers and horses in our hands. So I decided to retreat and return to Yanmen. I don't know what you think. how?"

Chang Yuchun said at this time: "General, Ma Yuan is now huddled in Jinyang City. This is a good time for us to take back the other counties and counties of Bingzhou from the Liangzhou army. Why do we have to retreat?"

Gongsun Xu smiled wryly: "Bo Ren, don't worry, we have now captured the four counties of Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Wuyuan. This is already a bit difficult for us to digest. If we continue to capture other I am afraid that the county will not be able to defend it with our current strength, so the most important thing for us now is to bring the four counties of Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Wuyuan into our control, and gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou. Take back Bingzhou from Ma Yuan at a lower cost."

When Chang Yuchun heard what Gongsun Xu said, he wanted to say something, but was pulled down by Xu Da who was sitting next to Chang Yuchun.

Except for Chang Yuchun, everyone else had no opinion. At this time, Gongsun Xu turned his attention to Xu Da and said, "All the generals made great contributions in the battle of Bingzhou, but it's a pity that Captain Huang Xin died in the battle. , Tiande, it is up to you to send Captain Huang Xin's body back to Youzhou."

Xu Da stood up at this time and said: "General, don't worry, the general will definitely send Captain Huang Xin's body back to Youzhou."

Gongsun Xu nodded, and continued: "All of you have made great contributions in these few battles. Xu Da is the first. I appoint you as Zhonglang General."

Xu Da stood up a little excitedly at this time, and continued to Gongsun: "The last general, Xu Da, thank you for your kindness."

At this time, everyone in the tent looked at Xu Da with envy. Gongsun Xu had only three generals under his command, namely Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, and Luo Cheng. Xu Da had just joined Gongsun Xu's command not long ago. Thinking of becoming the No. 4 Zhonglang General under Gongsun Xu's command.
