The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Xiliang in late March is much colder than Central Plains or Jiangnan, the wind is still very tight, and the whole air looks dry, without the romance of wet clothes and apricot blossom rain in March at all.Especially when you are walking on the long official road, and the front and back are the same slow-moving grain trucks, it makes people feel a little depressing.

Tian Qi is in the middle of the rows of grain carts. He doesn't need to drag the creaking grain carts along the uneven road like the conscripted men. He only needs to carry a Knife, just carefully observe the situation on the left and right.But that doesn't mean he doesn't feel tired, it's unbearable hard work to concentrate on guarding against changes for many days.

Moreover, Tian Qi is the same as the folk husbands, who is going on foot.Although he is a member of the Xiliang army, he has only been in the army for more than a year after all, and his credit is not enough for him to get on the horse. Like those warriors who have survived a hundred battles and skilled generals, they generally have a horse of their own. war horse.

He was just a pawn. A year ago, when the Xiliang Army and the Kwantung Allied Army faced off in Luoyang and other places in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo had to recruit a large number of Xiliang Army, so he had to join the army. A recruit, he hadn't even really fought an enemy.So Tian Qi was a little nervous when he was ordered to escort the grain and grass to Guanwu.

Nervousness, coupled with the fatigue of rushing for days, made Tian Qi feel even more tired.If it weren't for the fact that there were several generals with spears on their horses staring at him, maybe he would have wanted to escape quietly.Although he has never been on the battlefield, he is not stupid. He has already seen some clues from the cautious actions of these generals. I am afraid that it will not be an easy job to transport food to the military this time.

Beside him, the two generals were talking in a low voice.Although they deliberately suppressed their voices, they were still heard clearly by Tian Qi who was not far from them: "I never thought that we would be reduced to where we are today. When we followed the lord before, who in Xiliang can let us A look of fear all day long? Now, the lord has only been murdered for half a year, we have to be careful everywhere, even transporting some food is so difficult."

"Who said it wasn't? We used to fight against the Qiang people, but now it's the other way around. I heard that General Niu and the others are now trapped in the official military by the Qiang people. With the same strength, our Xiliang army When have we ever been so useless? And with our small number of people, I am afraid that even if we send food to Guanwu, it is impossible to transport it in?"

"Hey, these days are getting worse and worse. Do you know why we asked our people in Lintao to send food over this time? I heard that the Ma family guarded Guzang and refused to send food, so in desperation Mr. Li is the one who made such a bad plan. What do you think this is? It is really chilling to see that our Xiliang army is still fighting like this in the face of a great enemy."

"Actually, for me, it's understandable for the Ma family to do this. We also watched how they rectified the Ma family, so we were short of using troops directly. Now that the Ma family has stuck their vital points, it is only right if they don't take revenge." It's strange. It's just that we little people have suffered a lot, this time going to Guanwu, it's really bad luck."

"I heard that some people are worried that the Ma family will interfere with it. Maybe we won't be able to transport these grains to Guanwu."

"That's why we chose such an inconspicuous path to advance, and we have to go around a big circle, otherwise we would have walked away from the official road, and it wouldn't be so hard."

The conversation between the two fell into Tian Qi's ears, which made him feel even more worried. He didn't expect things to go so bad.The Xiliang army not only has the Qiang people as an external aggression, but also internally intrigues, so I am afraid that it will really give the Qiang people a chance to seize control of Xiliang.After thinking about this, he smiled to himself again, what is his identity, why bother with such a big event, as long as he can get things done safely this time, and then go back safely, that is his greatest extravagant wish.

Just at this time, the food and grass team escorted by more than 500 soldiers and transported by [-] civilians just passed the edge of a black pine forest.The not blazing sun shone a few mottled shadows from the other side of the pine forest and cast them in front of Tian Qi, making him feel that the shadows on the ground were a little scary.Suddenly, a burst of shouts erupted from the pine forest.

Hundreds of horsemen, holding long knives, shouted: "Drop your weapons, kneel down to avoid death!" The big man with the slogan suddenly rushed out, and rushed to them before the crowd could resist. forward.

The two sergeants raised their guns subconsciously to meet the enemy, but just as his gun was raised, before reaching his chest, the long knife quickly slashed across their throats, and the two of them fell into a pool of blood at that time.

Tian Qi stared blankly at what happened in front of him. At this moment, his whole body was stiff, and he didn't know how to react at all.Although he was only twenty, he had fought with people before, and beat people until their heads were covered with blood, but this was the first time he had seen someone kill someone.When he saw the sergeant who had been with him for several days had his throat cut like a chicken, he still felt an unprecedented shock.

Immediately, a sense of fear spread from his heart, and when he regained his senses and looked again, he saw many sergeants who were riding horses before, whom he admired very much, killing these enemies without fear. past.

"That's why they can ride horses, but I can only walk." Tian Qi couldn't help but feel such emotion in his mind, and felt ashamed of his cowardice.But immediately, this shame was replaced by joy, because it was just a face-to-face meeting, and these knights who rushed to meet the enemy were cut off by the enemies who had already rushed to kill them.

The cavalry relies on the speed and impact of the horses under their crotches. When one side rushes to the other side quickly, no matter how powerful and brave the victim is, the result is only one death, unless the martial arts of both sides have great difference, that's another matter.But obviously, the cavalry escorting food and grass in front of them were not even as brave as these enemies.

However, during the meal, more than 200 soldiers who tried to resist were killed, and the others dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground as they said just now.After all, most of these people are ordinary people, and some sergeants have never actually been on the battlefield. Once they find it difficult to resist, they naturally have only one way to surrender.And Tian Qi naturally belonged to this group. He put his hands on the ground, lowered his head, and secretly looked at the cavalrymen in fear, not knowing what the other party would do.

Fortunately, these cavalrymen were not merciless when they killed people just now. After they were sure that no one would resist, they also stopped killing. They just stared at them vigilantly, in case someone made any bad moves .

Then, a man exuding a dangerous aura spoke up: "From now on, if you want to survive, you must obey our orders. Everyone get up and continue to transport food, but instead of going to Guanwu, go to Guzang! "

"It turns out that they are from the Ma family..." Tian Qi, who had learned the details of the incident from the two dead soldiers, seemed to have realized something, and at the same time felt a little relieved.Because Ma Yue's reputation is not bad, thinking that as long as he doesn't feel rebellious, they shouldn't make things difficult for him anymore, and his life will naturally be saved.

Although the others didn't understand the situation as well as Tian Qi, they had to do as they wanted when people were fighting for the knife and I was the fish and meat, and continued to go on the journey of escaping food.

?????

In just two days, according to Li Ru's order, the four groups of people who escorted [-] oak grains and grass to Guanwu in batches were all robbed by the troops sent by the Ma family.Not only did the grain that they wanted to send to the front fall into the hands of the Ma family, but most of the people who were holding the grain were also captured by them, and they could no longer be used by Li Ru and the others.

Although Li Ru is shrewd, but what he encountered this time has been in Xiliang for many years, and he knows every important road here, even the secret road, so he can guess the road they chose earlier, and then calmly Arranged by Wang Feng.Therefore, this strategy of sending Lintao's grain to the government military to relieve the urgent need, which Li Ru had no choice but to choose, completely failed.

Teams of people who were sent out to rob food brought back news of success, which made Wang Feng, who planned the whole strategy, finally heave a sigh of relief.He looked in the direction of Guan Wu, and he seemed to be talking to the brothers beside him, and he also seemed to whisper to himself: "This time, we are about to become the new masters of the entire Xiliang, and with the young master's ability, Xiliang will not be ours." It will only be a new starting point for us to move towards a higher and greater goal!"

At the same time, in Guanwu County, Dong Zhuo's old army has also reached the most critical juncture. They will also make a difficult choice concerning their own life and the survival of Xiliang...
