New Story of Lv Bu
: : Crossing the desert
During the unity period, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pound quietly opened the gate of the village with 10,000 cavalry, and quietly headed north under the bright moonlight. These ten thousand cavalry are the elite of Ma Jiajun, among them there are two thousand of Ma Chao's subordinates, two thousand of Ma Dai's subordinates, and two thousand of Pound's subordinates. The remaining four thousand are the elites selected by Ma Teng from the army. Ten thousand cavalry had three horses each, and the remaining two horses were carrying food and grass, as well as clear water. The most water was carried. A hundred miles of desert would consume too much clear water.
"Passing orders! All ranks swift! Do not say anything before entering the desert, cut off the order! Before the sun rises to finish the hundred miles of the desert!" Ma Chao held the dragoon in his hand and whispered the command. Ma Chao is sixteen years old this year. This battle is his first battle and must be fought well. This battle is arduous and difficult, with many crises, and a little carelessness will result in the entire army being wiped out and wiped out. Although Ma Chao is leading the army for the first time, he is very clear about the weight.
In the desolate west of Liangzhou, the biggest problem is food and grass, but Dong Taishi’s Xiliang Army has a deep ditch and high base, occupying the right time and place. He has just purchased 200,000 dendrobium from Bingzhou, which is enough to support the last two or three months. Up. The Xiliang Army also has 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry, and there is plenty of food and grass, and the morale and morale of the army are extremely high. They can afford it, but the rebels can't afford it!
Although the eldest son of Han appeared to be blunt, Ma Chao, the eldest son of Ma Teng, knew that the rebels were already exhausted when the battle was fought. The rebel army has one hundred thousand cavalry, but the food consumed by these one hundred thousand cavalry is astronomical. With the financial, material, and manpower of Dunhuang and Jiuquan counties, it is impossible to maintain such a large army.
As of yesterday, the food and grass of the rebels can only be supported for ten days. The reason why Boss Han happily adopted his advice is because he has no other way and has to fight to the death! If you can't overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers and complete the task satisfactorily, the fool knows that the entire Xiliang rebel army will collapse irresistibly! If this battle succeeds by luck, the Ma family's control and voice in the rebels will be greatly increased, and he himself will become famous in the first battle!
"This battle can only be won, not defeated. Once defeated, the entire Ma family will be ruined!" Ma Chao whispered to himself.
Pound took two thousand cavalry as the vanguard and walked in the forefront of the big army. Ma Dai's two thousand cavalry was the rear army, collecting scattered soldiers and horses along the way, taking good care of the food and grass, and Ma Chao led six thousand cavalry as the middle army. This ten thousand horses can be said to be the entire wealth of the Lao Ma family. For this battle, Ma Teng has bet on all his elite.
Pound is a fierce general, brave and invincible, in his eyes there is no mission impossible, and it is most suitable to be a vanguard. Ma Dai is cautious and meticulous, making him the most suitable candidate for the rear army. With the assistance of these two generals, and the ten thousand fine riders under him, Ma Chao believes that he will be famous in one battle!
In the darkness, the army marched quietly, visiting Malay newspapers, Pound had already penetrated into the desert for thirty miles, everything was normal. Ma Chao took a long sigh. It seemed that the thief was blessed by God, and he gave a good sign from the beginning. "Passing the order, no one can stop, except to change horses! You must get out of the desert before sunrise!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao and his horse walked in the forefront.
In this way, the army walked quietly for three hours, and Ma Chao's army had already crossed the middle of the desert. The cavalry had already changed their horses twice, and the dozen or so water sacs carried on the horses were also 1/3 empty, and the advancement of the troops began to slow down. The front army reported that the army encountered the wolves and lost a dozen horses. Pound had already eliminated the wolves and moved on.
Under the bright moonlight, the golden desert seemed so quiet, and the cavalry and war horses were panting and marching slowly. The three-hour endless march has exhausted them. The veterans half-squinted their eyes and took a nap right away. They wanted to use this time to sleep for a while. The recruits opened their eyes curiously and carefully looked at the cookie-cutter scenery. Everything in the desert was a brand new experience for them.
With restlessness, restlessness, coupled with the cold from the desert, Ma Chao felt that he was about to suffocate. He got up and stood on the horse's back, measured the wind direction, and drew a big bubble of urine along the wind, which made him feel more comfortable. He sat back on his horse back, picked up the water bag, poured half a bag of water in one breath, sprinkled water on his face, wiped his face with his sleeve, and immediately refreshed. "Follow me! Keep going!" He walked in the front again.
An hour later, more than a dozen camels from the east rushed forward, and the leader of the army reported profusely: "Major General! General Pound has crossed the desert and is looking for camping ground!" The cavalry immediately burst into cheers! "Speed up the march! Cross the desert as soon as possible!" Seeing that morale was high, Ma Chao gave orders while the iron was hot.
When the sky was white, Ma Chao's 10,000 cavalry had all crossed the desert and pitched a tent next to an oasis thirty miles northwest of Zhaowu. Snoring in the tent one after another, the extremely tired war horses gathered together and fell asleep, Ma Chao casually washed his face, washed his swollen feet, and drank a cup of bitter tea.
The first level is finally over! The next level is to move the army to the vicinity of the Xiliang Army under the cover of night.
Another morning came, and Taishi Dong ran out of breakfast, and took advantage of the free time before the battle between the two armies to deal with government affairs. Taishi Dong's nephew, Dong Huang, holding a few memorials in his arms, came to the Great Account of Dong Taishi's Chinese Army. "Teacher, these few memorials are all important matters, and you must decide by yourself." Dong Huang looked at Dong Taishi's face, and then slowly spoke.
"The first one was sent by Wang Situ from Luoyang City. Da Sima has been stationed in Luoyang City for 20 days. The repair of Luoyang City is progressing rapidly. The reason is that a construction method called cement was used. , Without using bricks and stones, it is as solid as a rock all day and night. The method is so secret that no one knows it. In the 20th day, Luoyang city walls and damaged houses have been intact as before!"
"Wang Situ has something to say, Da Sima has fulfilled the agreement, urging to ask Taishi when he will send the emperor and the officials back to Luoyang." Upon hearing this, Dong Taishi immediately frowned. "Well, tell Wang Situ that after Luoyang City has been repaired, I will release the emperor and the public officials back to Luoyang City. Luoyang City is broken, so you can't let the emperor and the public officials be too shabby. Also, strictly order to sit in the town of Chang'an. Li Ru and Niu Fu, we must take strict precautions against Luoyang to prevent Lu Feng from preempting Chang'an! If our old nest is lost, we will really be over!"
"Nuo!" Dong Huang responded succinctly. "The second thing, Liu Xiao, a school officer of Sili, reported that the people in Chang'an were panicked, thieves were everywhere, prices were soaring, people's livelihoods were difficult, and the people couldn't live in peace at night." "This is easy!" Taishi Dong thought for a moment, and immediately there was idea. "Liu Xiao was ordered to strictly investigate Xiaoxiao, to register officials and people whose children were not filial to their parents, their subjects were not loyal to the chief, the officials were not incorrupt, and the younger brothers did not respect their elders. All were executed and their property confiscated by the government."
"Teacher, this is a good way!" Dong Huang is extremely clever, and immediately understood the intention of Mr. Dong. Taishi Dong only cares about the four words "prices soaring", and everything else is imperfect. Such a rigorous investigation is on the surface to calm the anger and fear of the people, but in essence it is just to search for money. As for how many people died unjustly, that is not what Dong Taishi cares about. Without the money, how can I go to Bingzhou to buy food?
"The third thing is that the princes of the Kwantung princes are starting to move around again. It is to caress or suppress. Taishi should make an idea!" Upon hearing this, Dong Taishi immediately became excited. "Fart! Lv Feng first occupy Luoyang, so what about they are ready to move? So, send a few people to caress, Dahongyou Han Rong, Shaofu Yinxun, Jinwu Hu Wuban, will be master Wu Xun, Yueqi school captain Wang Gui, these people are just right, so they are." "Wonderful! The handling of the teacher is really wonderful!" Dong Huang stretched out his thumb.
Why does Dong Huang say it is wonderful? This starts with these five people. Han Rong, with long characters, was a native of Wuyang in Yingchuan, and was a famous big celebrity in the world. Yin Xun, Zi Yuan Ji, Nanyang Xin Savage, is also a celebrity. Hu Wuban, Zi Jiyou, a native of Taishan, one of the eight chefs, brother-in-law of Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang. Wu Xun and Wang Gui could not be tested, but as two thousand stone high-ranking officials, they must also have close ties with aristocratic families. Among these five people, Han Rong is the most famous, and Yin Xun and Hu Wuban are slightly less famous. Together with two two thousand stone high-ranking officials, it is a luxurious celebrity recruiting group.
However, Taishi Dong had already killed dozens of Taifu Taifu Yuan Kui's family, and had forged a **** feud with the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. As a result, this recruitment and caresing must not be successful, but Dong Taishi sent a luxurious celebrity recruitment team. If Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gongdao are embarrassed and embarrass the recruitment team, then the family members are fighting in their nests! To know that the family of the dynasty, the most important thing is the face. You slap him in the face, you must pay the price of blood!
"Haha, aristocratic families are absolutely unavailable. They are eating the old man's salary and opposing the old man. If Yuan Benchu had cut them all off, the old man would be happy!" Taishi Dong smiled while touching his huge belly with both hands. To be honest, this recruiting group was sent to the two brothers Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gonglu, who are disgusting! If Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gonglu cut them all down, Taishi Dong would only be happy! It's a big deal to find a pen to write a sacrificial essay pretendingly, magnificent and elegant, not expensive, but significant!
This day is the first day of May. Too many stories begin on this day, and too many celebrities will die in a short time.
This day is the end of the old era and the beginning of a new era.
