The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 493
The easternmost part of the Taklamakan Desert is Dunhuang County. Now, Ma Teng is lurking here secretly. When the time is right, he will attack Yan Xing's rear Jincheng with a large army.

But now, Yuan Shang has entered Guanzhong. First, he used force to refute the Tianzi army, then designed to surrender Zhang Luzhong, and then killed Zhao Ang head-on, and saved Chang'an. Go confront Yuan Shang, the time has come to attack Jincheng and save his son-in-law!

Among the Western Qiang clans, there are already three big clans, Li, Po, and Ji, who have rushed to their former fame and prestige and agreed to send troops to help. In addition, Di Wang Agui and Yang Wanwan are also willing to help with food and grass.Coupled with the surrender of the defeated soldiers with ten carved feathers and arrows, Ma Teng now needs soldiers, generals, food and grass. Perhaps it is not enough to confront Yan Xing and Song Jian head-on, but if he sneaks into Jincheng's ruling place Among them, the chance of winning is still at least seven or eight points.

So Ma Teng was ready to send troops.

Just when Ma Teng was about to send troops, Di Wang Agui and Yang Wanwan led the leaders of the Di tribe to visit Ma Teng and ask for something.

Ever since Ma Teng stationed his army in Dunhuang, King Di Agui and Yang Wanwan had been sending people to help them with food, grass and supplies. Ma Teng felt strange that these two different kings didn't even buy Cao Cao's account back then. Later, after Yuan Shang occupied Guanzhong, the two clans moved to Xisai and ignored Yuan Shang. Now that Ma Teng sent troops to Dunhuang, these two kings of Di gave food and cattle and sheep, obviously with ulterior motives .

But here is the enemy's rear, there is no guarantee of supplies, and Ma Teng also needs these things to support his troops, so he pretends to be indifferent and collects everything as ordered.

It wasn't until today that Ma Teng was about to attack Jincheng, and the two princes came to express their intentions to him.

In the tent covered with yellow sand, Di Wang Agui poured a glass of wine, raised the wine cup to Ma Teng, and said with a smile: "Old General Ma returned to Liangzhou. After attacking Yan Ni, he is like the sun behind the dark clouds, illuminating the dark Liangzhou with brilliance." Zhou! This king is here, in the name of the God of Kunlun, I wish the old general a victory and success in one fell swoop! May the God of Kunlun be with you!"

Ma Teng drank the wine with a smile, and then said to the two kings: "Thank you two kings for your kindness, I have accepted it here, and I have stationed troops here for a long time, and I have received many benefits from the two kings. This old man deeply remembers, if you have any request from now on, you two feel free to ask, if this old man can help, I will never refuse!"

Agui and Yang Wanwan looked at each other with deep meaning in their eyes.

When I was young, I heard Agui chuckle and said: "General Ma, please pay tribute to the respected General Da Sima on our behalf. May his life be as long as the sun and the moon, and his achievements as broad as the desert. as far as the eagle flies, may..."

"Alright, alright, alright!"

Ma Teng raised his hand, stopped Di Wang Agui, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't praise Great General Sima like that, he is not good at this."

Agui chuckled and sat down embarrassedly, but another Di Wang Yang Wan got up and said, "Old General Ma, now in Liangzhou, there are Yan Xing and Song Jian who are in the heart of Great General Sima." However, do you know that in the Western Regions outside of Liangzhou, there is also a Qianghu tribe, which is the foreign invasion of General Sima?"

Ma Teng raised his eyebrows and said, "Who?"

Yang Wanwan hurriedly said: "Qiang King Cheriji!"

Ma Teng nodded suddenly when he heard the words, and said, "Oh, it's him. I know the name. Now in the land of Hexi, most of the Qiang tribes belong to Wang Hua. Although they have repeatedly rebelled, they also belong to me. Among the people of the Han Dynasty, only this Cheriji tribe broke away from the Han and became self-reliant, known as the Qiang King. Naturally, the court could not tolerate him. Before Cao Cao came to power, he was expelled from the Han territory!"

Yang Wanwan said: "The problem is that after the Qiang King Cheriji left the Han, he moved his tribe to the Western Regions. None of the 20 countries dare to provoke them, and now they are even faintly trying to reach out to our Di tribe. If this person is not eliminated, the Han Dynasty will be in danger in the long run! I hope that if the Great General Sima enters Liangzhou and destroys Yan Xing Song Jian, can you also manage the affairs of the countries in the Western Regions as a celestial dynasty, and destroy the Qiang King Cheriji! In this way, you can make it open the Silk Road again, trade in the Western Regions, and prosper the Han Dynasty and the various gangs in the Western Regions!"

Ma Teng stroked his beard and said, "I remember this matter! After the Great General Sima entered Liangzhou and wiped out Yan Rebellion, I will naturally tell him about it."

Di Wang Agui has not said a word all this time. Hearing the news now, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hastily cupped his hands and said, "So, thank you, old general!"

………………

A few days later, under the guidance of the Di tribe, Ma Teng's soldiers and horses marched back to Liangzhou quickly, and the soldiers and horses flocked to Yuzhong County, the seat of Jincheng!

*************************
The deep house in the backyard of Jincheng Prefect's Mansion.

In the side room of the deep house, Zhao Yun sat on the bed with his eyes closed, not moving.

On the incense table not far from him, there were three tripods of food, including wine and meat, and beside the table sat a strong man in brocade, and behind him stood several armed guards. This person is Ai Yuxin who was left behind by Yan Xing to guard Jincheng's lair.

Yu Xin smiled and pushed the food tripod forward, and said, "Governor, look, this is top-quality venison! Besides you, how can anyone else have such a good fortune? How about it? Yan Shuai is right. Are you not thin?"

Zhao Yun didn't even open his eyes, and upon hearing the words, he just replied indifferently: "Yes, Yan Xing is very kind to me."

Yu Xin chuckled and said, "Captain Zhao, you know that Yan Shuai is good! Yan Shuai treats you like this, do you have to show Yan Shuai some face? After this meal, I will accompany you to the new recruitment Walk around the barracks twice, and you say a few words to these recruits?... It doesn't take much effort, it's nothing more than saying something to boost the morale of the three armies, selling some lives in battle... Let the soldiers see yours Makoto, after all, you are the official governor of Yongliang, aren't you? Let them have a certain title in their hearts!"

Zhao Yun nodded, speaking at the same speed, unable to hear the slightest emotion: "Okay, I'll go as soon as I finish eating."

Yu Xin rubbed his hands, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhao Yun's unrestrained and unrelenting attitude, he had nothing to say when the words came to his lips.

Yu Xin stood up, said "The governor is slow to use", and then waved his hand, leading the soldiers under his command out of the room.

As soon as he walked to the main hall of the front yard, he saw a deputy general hastily greeted him, and said to the letter in a low voice: "General, it's not good, the scouts from the southwest are here to report! There is a soldier and horse running from the direction of Xiaogu. They are coming here, and their troops are moving so fast that they are less than a hundred miles away."

Yu Xin was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "West? The west of Jincheng is the border of Liangzhou. At most, only Song Jian's soldiers and horses can come over, but the problem is that most of Song Jian's troops have already gone to Yongzhou to assist Yan Shuai. Why? Still here? How many soldiers and horses are there?"

The deputy general hurriedly said: "There are quite a few, no matter how you look at it, there must be a thousand!"

Beads of sweat dripped down the top of Yu Xin's head quickly.

During this eastward battle for Guanzhong, Yan Xing almost took away the Liangzhou rebels and all the attached Qiang people. There were few people stationed in Yuzhong, the seat of Jincheng. Now a Biao army suddenly appeared. Forgive me How can you keep calm.

"Quick! Close the four doors quickly!"

Yu Xin didn't dare to be negligent. Although he didn't know the enemy's origin, he immediately took a defensive posture. Zhuo Ren closed the four gates of Yuzhong, with deep ditches and high bases.

…………

From a distance, Ma Teng's soldiers and horses had already seen the city of Yuzhong County. The city walls of Yuzhong County were not tall. Ma Teng didn't bring any tough siege equipment at all, but mainly vertical ladders and flying hooks!
Ma Teng didn't set up camp either, he just took advantage of the indignation and courage accumulated by the soldiers for many days, held a sword in his hand, pointed at the middle of the elm, and roared loudly.

"Siege!"

As soon as the order to siege the city was given, the remnants of Yongzhou's soldiers who failed because of Yan Xing and Song Jian's calculations immediately burst into excitement.

With the cooperation of the three major Qiang soldiers who had a close relationship with Ma Teng, all the soldiers attacked. Under the leadership of generals such as Zhang Ji, Jia Kui, and Wang Xiong, they began to attack the east, north, and south gates of Yuzhong. , launched a crazy attack.

Four thousand daredevils, braved the bee chrysalis of the arrows, braved the swords and guns of the enemy, desperately marched forward, and bravely climbed the city. The culling of Ma Teng's first army, but a drop in the bucket can't resist it.

Ma Teng sat in the rear, staring at the situation in front of him with a pair of tiger eyes. Suddenly, he got off his horse and shouted at the thousands of school swordsmen behind him who were protecting him: "Brothers, go with the old man! Give them the last one strike."

Wen Hui was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Why is the old general like this? The city wall in Yuzhong is not high, and there are few soldiers and horses. There are several generals in charge of the siege of the city. The old general is the courage of the three armies. How about it?" Put yourself in danger?"

Ma Teng smiled, shook his head and said, "Of course not! The main purpose of attacking Yuzhong this time is to rescue the old man's son-in-law. If I don't work hard to save my own people? Who will fight hard?"

………………

Sure enough, as Ma Teng said, after the old general led a troop to join, the morale of all the Yongzhou army was greatly boosted.
In the blink of an eye, countless Yongzhou soldiers climbed up the city wall, holding swords in their hands, and they were extremely ferocious. The Yongzhou army held back a wave of resentment, and their strikes were extremely ruthless, and every cut seemed to weigh a thousand catties.In just an instant, countless rebel soldiers were cut down, lying on the ground, covering their wounds with their hands, howling desperately.

The large-scale massacre quickly spread to Yu Xin's ears in Wengcheng.

As soon as Yu Xin heard that the enemy had already attacked the city wall, he panicked immediately, stroked the crooked cherry helmet in a hurry, and shouted to the subordinates who came to report: "How much has the enemy attacked?"
"Here, people's heads flutter, there are too many, and I can't count clearly..."

"You bastard!"

Yu Xin spat hard, pondered for a while and said: "Although I don't know what kind of soldiers and horses the opponent is, but in this situation, it seems that Yuzhong will not be able to protect it anymore, pass on my general order! Quickly integrate the soldiers in the city Ma Nan withdrew, let's go to Tianshui... remember, bring Zhao Yun with you!"

"promise!"

Yuzhong Prefect's Mansion, inner house.

The screaming from the city wall faintly spread to Zhao Yun's inner house. Zhao Yun, who had been half lying on the bed, couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words. His expression turned back, and he still had that indifferent look.

"Boom-"

The door was suddenly pushed open, but several tall guards walked into the room with their heads held high.

"Governor Zhao, General Yu has an invitation!"

Zhao Yun's complexion remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Leaving so early? Isn't it usually after an hour for the recruits to perform martial arts in the school?"

The guard was stunned when he heard the words, and said with a sigh: "Ah...that's...the situation is a bit different...In short, please move the Governor Zhao."

"Well, okay."

Zhao Yun stood up lazily, flicked the dust off his body and the boots on the boat, and followed the guards out.

Zhao Yun's expression was languid, his eyes were hollow, and the sides of his jet-black hair were dotted with whiteness. Since he entered here, Zhao Yun had aged rapidly, and his body was becoming a little bent day by day, just like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. Like an eagle with its feathers removed.

After a long period of time in this state, these guards became a little slack. In their eyes, Zhao Yun was like a sick child, no different from a disabled person.

They forgot that this governor of Yongliang was once the number one general in Hebei!
The guards pushed Zhao Yun out of the small courtyard, but saw that Zhao Yun's legs and feet suddenly gave way and he fell to the ground. It seemed that he could not walk anymore because he had been suffocating in the house for a long time.

A guard behind him pouted and shook his head, reaching up to help him.

At the moment when he lowered his body, he saw Zhao Yun suddenly pulled out his sword from the guard's waist, and then waved his hand violently, with a flash of cold light, a bloody arrow shot from the guard's neck shoot out.The guard covered his neck with his hands, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Zhao Yun who was as sick as a wilted child in disbelief, the corners of his mouth squirmed, and blood gushed out.
No matter how dormant the tiger is, it is still a tiger!If you relax a little and give him a chance, he will become addicted!

The other people behind the guard were startled and drew out their swords hastily. The two in the lead ran forward when they saw Zhao Yun swiping the long sword in his hand. Discovering that the palms of their hands were covered with blood, the two screamed and died on the spot.

The decadence on Zhao Yun's face was swept away at this moment, replaced by an overwhelming coldness and arrogance.

In an instant, all the bodyguards in charge of escorting the guards on the scene trembled physically and mentally, and each of them trembled involuntarily.
