26, the military cavalry travels a water (end)

The next day, it was just dawn. All the troops and horses of the Xiliang Army generals who had eaten the morning meal were dispatched, and the horses of the horses were coming out in an endless stream. They crossed the river from many places and rushed to the west bank. The horses and cavalry sounded huge, and the shouts of the soldiers resounded throughout the sky.

The Yiliang coalition won first and then lost yesterday, and its morale turned low. At night, it was disturbed by the suspicious soldiers of the Xiliang army. Before the food was at work, it was forced to go out to fight.

The two armies fought fiercely on the west coast of Fengshui, with corpses everywhere, only after Japan and Zhong, the Western Liang army continued to run, dispatching elite cavalry from the army to rush back and forth. The Yiliang coalition gradually became dissatisfied, and fled from a small-scale Qiang and Hu tribe, and quickly spread to a large-scale defeat of the entire army.

The Qiang and Hu tribes did not have strong camp fortifications to guard. They rode their horses and ran wildly, and even needed felt tents and livestock. Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Yizhou soldiers were unable to support them, so they retreated to Fufeng.

On the other hand, the Xiliang Army, led by Fan Chou, who changed his attitude and actively used troops, continued to chase and kill with his troops, and was about to recover lost land and annihilate rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Gan Ling slowly told her what happened after Ma Yunlu fell into a coma. After listening to it, Ma Yunlu's body trembled slightly and her face became paler.

When Gan Ling saw Ma Yunlu's appearance, she knew that she was already in a state of chaos when she was hit. She couldn't listen to anything she said to her.

He shook his head and was about to turn around and leave, leaving Ma Yunlu alone, but as soon as he took a step, Ma Yunlu stretched out his wrist and grabbed Gan Ling's armor.

Ma Yunlu reached out and grabbed Gan Ling.

"Take me to the battlefield on the west bank of Fengshui to take a look. I must see it with my own eyes to believe what you said is true!"

Ma Yunlu was already in a state of chaos, and she said hurriedly in panic.

"Your injury-"

"I'm fine."

Ma Yunlu immediately supported her to stand up. Gan Ling hesitated for a moment and quickly reached out to support her. He thought in his heart that why would this be troublesome, but looking at Ma Yunlu's persistent eyes, Gan Ling finally retreated. He sent someone to find a cart to come over and prepare to send the injured Ma Yunlu to the Fengshui River.

The sound of the car was heard. A team of knights guarded both sides and came to the edge of the Fengshui River. Gan Ling and Ma Yunlu were sitting in the carriage. He did not order to cross the river, but asked the carriageman to park the carriage by the water. Ma Yunlu wanted to get off the car, but he reached out to stop him. In desperation, Ma Yunlu could only lift the curtain of the car window and look out of the car.

The main battlefield took place on the west coast, so there were no large-scale remains of corpses and broken spears on the east coast. However, when we could see, Ma Yunlu still saw the black smoke and busy people running around on the other side.

She knew that this was the winner burning the abandoned camps and collecting the wealth and goods on the battlefield.

There were also some mountain piles that suddenly emerged on the river bank on the west bank. In order to show off his martial arts and shock people, Li Juejun specially ordered the capital to pile up enemy corpses.

A group of soldiers drove a group of captured cattle and sheep to the water and waded ashore. They passed by them and saw a cart parked by the water here. Some soldiers stopped in surprise. However, after carefully seeing the armor of the knights beside them, they accelerated their pace in awe and drove the livestock away.

There is no tragic battlefield, nor is there corpses everywhere, but this silent desolation has brought even more severe blows to Ma Yunlu!

She came late, everything was late.

The sun sets in the west, the geese fly south, and the setting sun shines on the Fengshui River, dyeing the quiet and flowing river water into layers of golden red, and the light shines, like the golden light reflected on the weapon, or like the beauty soaked in blood.

Ma Yunlu heard the geese's screams, but could not see the geese flying in the sky. Her expression seemed to be smiling, crying, and she grabbed the edge of the car window and had an urge to shout, but she didn't know what to say at this time. She just felt her chest felt stuffy and the scene in front of her was slowly turning dark.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Gan Ling suddenly patted Ma Yunlu, which made her come to her senses a little. Looking at Ma Yunlu who was physically and mentally exhausted, Gan Ling felt pity for no reason, and secretly complained that she had taken over a hot potato, which caused a lot of trouble for herself.

Ma Yunlu was in a depressed mood and didn't want to pay attention to others at all.

After the two sat opposite each other silently for a long time, Gan Ling was very bored and could only speak again, but it was not a gentle and soft voice that comforted and polite.

"Actually, you don't have to be sad. Your father is fine. He escapes quickly. Like Han Sui, I guess the ones who have suffered heavy casualties this time will be the soldiers of Yizhou, and then your father's subordinates."

"But the Right General was eager to recover the Right Fufeng, but he was chasing him all the way. If he was chased by him, I'm afraid, cough cough..."

Gan Ling, who had no words to make a fuss in the car at this moment, was more like a nagging Yunwu Ranger than a general who focused on majesty.

Ma Yunlu gave him a fierce look, Leng Ruofrost, and still did not respond. Gan Ling was bored and had to ask again:

"Hey, why did you keep chasing me that day, from the west bank to the east bank?"

Gan Ling looked at Ma Yunlu up and down, as if reuniting her with the young general who had been there that day.

Ma Yunlu faced Gan Ling's gaze without fear and snorted coldly. The Yiliang coalition forces had been in confrontation for a long time, and the food and supplies were insufficient. She originally wanted to capture the enemy generals and escorts and learn that the enemy's internal situation was in order to relieve their worries for their father and brother, but unfortunately they were captured and became prisoners under the ranks. What's there to say?

She originally wanted to turn her head away, but she thought of something and had to ask:

"Why do you Hedong soldiers help the evil and help Li Jue and others? Since the two families have agreed to make an appointment to rebellion, why do you turn your preface?"

Hearing Ma Yunlu’s words sharply, Gan Ling also restrained his face and became serious.

"How can the good and evil in this world be explained simply in a few words? The soldiers of each family are heading to Chang'an, and who is not coming to seek profit? Your Ma family and Ma Yu, Zhong Shao and others in the court conspired to cooperate inside and outside, and rushed to Chang'an for a long distance. Is it really loyal to the king's affairs? In the final analysis, do you also want to take the lead and seek the Chang'an court in advance?"

"As for the appointment and uprising, it is purely a matter of making something out of nothing. Which ministers in the court, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Liu Yan, are those who keep the alliance, but they are just intrigues."

The world was in chaos and people's minds changed. Gan Ling was born in a coward, and he was never bound by the etiquette of the name, law and etiquette, and he did not have much intention of being loyal to the Han Dynasty. He had no kindness towards the nobles in the court and immediately refuted Ma Yunlu's remarks.

Ma Yunlu did not retort, she was silent because she knew that what Gan Ling said was true, and her father was also very loyal to the Han Dynasty. All the troops rushed to Chang'an, and what they did was only personal interests.

The last straw in her hand was also taken away, and Ma Yunlu's heart sank. She looked at Gan Ling with a complicated expression and asked softly:

"Then when are you going to let me go back to Liangzhou?"

"Go back? Don't think about going back for now."

The serious Gan Ling no longer had any pity. He glanced at Ma Yunlu and said:

"If you were not because of your identity, you were just a corpse in the Jingguan built on the West Bank, but because of your identity, I would not let you go. Your life and death are not something I can decide!"

After saying that, Gan Ling did not look back, and opened the car door and jumped out of the car. He turned over a war horse that was brought by him, waved his hand, and ordered it directly.

"Return to camp."

···

After the Fengshui Battle, Fan Chou, who was eager to recover Youfufeng, led his troops and chased and fought hard all the way. He first besieged and captured Huaili City, killed Ma Yu, Zhong Shao, Liu Fan and others who were abandoned by Ma Teng, and then continued to chase Han Sui, Ma Teng and others. He chased Chen Cang and then bit Ma Teng and Han Sui's main force.

Unexpectedly, the two sides did not fight in Chencang. After Fan Chou had symbolic pursuit, he ordered the withdrawal of troops and stayed in Meiyang, Wugong and other cities, and then led his troops back to Chang'an.

This time, Ma Teng and Yizhou raised an army and wanted to cooperate with Ma Yu, Zhong Shao, Liu Fan and others inside and outside. They joined Han Sui's troops in the middle, with a huge momentum. The army advanced to Youfufeng, defeated Fan Chou, and once approached the city of Chang'an.

However, first there was internal affairs, and then Fengshui was defeated. A long-planned temple battle was forced to end in a slight manner. Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and other Xiliang generals returned victoriously. Not only did they build Jingguan to show off their martial arts, but they also offered prisoners to the court, so as to overwhelm the court officials and shock the emperor.

Eliminating Ma Yu, Zhong Shao, Du Bing and other teams who secretly planned to do so in the court was naturally a big joy for Li Jue, who was in charge of the court. However, after Ma Yu and others responded to it, Li Jue, who was suspicious, became increasingly wary of the ministers in the court.

Dong Zhuo killed Wu Qiong, Zhou Wei, and Yuan Wei, and promoted Wang Yun, Huang Wan and others to the death. As a result, Wang Yun and others assassinated Dong Zhuo. After he attacked Chang'an, he killed Wang Yun's party and pardoned other court officials. However, among the court officials, there were still people like Ma Yu and Zhong Shao who were secretly trying to plot against him.

Wang Yun found Lu Bu, and they found Ma Teng and Liu Yan, trying to cooperate inside and outside, conquer Chang'an and kill himself.

This time I killed Ma Yu, Zhong Shao and others, but those lurking secretly did not reveal their true faces.

Li Jue is not necessarily smarter than Dong Zhuo, but with Dong Zhuo's past lessons and Ma Teng's uprising this time, he completely gave up on seeking cooperation with the literati and officials in the court. He secretly planned how to undermine the power of the emperor and the court officials next.

At the same time, the conflicts between the generals and the generals of the Xiliang Army were also deepening.

Chang'an, a camp outside the city.
