Xiu Tuze’s main source of water comes from the valley water of the Nanshan Mountains, and there is almost no water on the north side. A hundred miles away is the desert, and even a dead grass cannot be seen.
Ma Chao strangled the reins, looked at the boundless desert, and suddenly said "Oh".
"The emperor is showing weakness and seducing the enemy."
Pang De, who was standing by, looked at Ma Chao in confusion, wondering where his feelings came from. The emperor sent Ma Chao to fight a hundred miles ahead, and it was clearly showing strength, but how could it be showing weakness?
Ma Chao raised his whip and his body moved as the war horse moved.
"For example, if two people are fighting, the weak often hold the sword in front of the sword so that the enemy cannot approach it easily. The real master is safe and even the sword cannot be unsheathed. When the enemy approaches, they will suddenly rise up and draw the sword to hurt the enemy.
They were all in a flash. The emperor had elite infantry cavalry and armored cavalry. He was not afraid of close combat, but let us break forward and catch the enemy a hundred miles away. Wouldn't he deliberately show weakness?"
Ponde thought something. "So, our mission is not to block, but to lure the enemy."
Ma Chao said slightly, then: "Although this is the case, it cannot be defeated with one blow, which will inevitably make the Xianbei people feel that we are going to fight to the death and cannot be obtained." He sighed. "If I had known this, I would not have accepted this."
The mission is here.”
Pang De smiled bitterly. Ma Chao didn't talk much along the way, so he was just thinking about this?
He was just a little confused. Why didn’t the emperor explain directly and insisted on Ma Chao thinking about it himself. If Ma Chao didn’t figure it out or thought it wrong, wouldn’t that have misunderstood the big thing?
"Captain, I'll take someone to set up a warning."
"Go." Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, and the followers of the knights also dismounted, allowing the horses to rest and save horsepower.
Pound led the hundred cavalry, observing the terrain while walking, looking for a suitable location for the whistle. He rode his horse up to a sand dune, looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and pointed at the two knights.
"You two are here."
The two knights responded, turned over and dismounted, and were about to send the horses to the bottom of the dune when the dune suddenly moved, revealing two figures.
"Who?" Pang De and others subconsciously drew out their battle swords and prepared to fight.
"Our own." As the two men said, they lifted up the white cloak on their bodies, revealing the crimson battle jacket inside. The emblem on their left chest showed that they were scouts of Weiwei Camp.
"You are..." Pang De breathed a sigh of relief, but remained highly vigilant.
"I am Li Quan, he is Ma Yuan, and he has met the general."
The two soldiers took out the waist card and handed it to Pang De. Pang De took the waist card and looked at it. He confirmed that it was certain that he asked his subordinates to put away the weapons.
"Why are you here?"
"After ordering to reconnaissance the enemy situation, Team Jiang arranged for us to stay here." Li Quan said: "General, within thirty miles, you don't need to arrange the alert, Team Jiang has arranged it."
"Captain Jiang?"
"Our temporary captain Jiang Jie."
"Hanyang Jiang Jiu-Jiang Zhongyi?" Pang De knew that Jiang Jiu was the son of the Jiang family of the four surnames of Tianshui. But he had heard that Jiang Jiu had served as the county magistrate and had made contributions in the battle to pacify Song Jian. How could he become a small captain?
?
Could it be the same name?
"Yes." Li Quan seemed to know what Pang De was thinking, but without explanation, he took out a horn from his arms and blew it hard. Ma Yuan gestured and gestured.
After a while, the sound of horns came from a distance, and someone else gestured.
After a while, the sound of horns came from a further distance.
"You rely on this to deliver the message?" Pang De glanced at it, and was shocked. There were people at several places where he thought it was necessary to arrange for people to be alert, but he did not notice it at all before.
Li Quan simply responded, and said nothing, and hid himself back and covered himself with sand.
Pang De winked at the two subordinates who were preparing to arrange here. "You two stay here, listen to the command of these two, and learn a little." He bowed to Li Quan who was lying in the sand, Ma Yuan said: "
Please give me more advice.”
"Don't dare." Li Quan made a gesture and pointed to the sand pit around him a few steps away. "You guys are here first."
The two knights took the order and buried themselves in the sand by following Li Quan and Ma Yuan's appearance.
Pang De nodded again and took his subordinates away. He walked away with several suitable locations, met the scouts arranged by Jiang Jie, and left a few people behind, and then returned to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao had already heard the sound of the horn, and when Pang De said something, he was thinking. "Jiang Zhongyi is really willing to be Mr. Jia's disciple. If he doesn't do it, he will be a student."
"You mean, Jiang Zhongyi is one of the first students?" Pang De finally realized.
Ma Chao nodded and looked up at the distance. "Huang Yi, who followed the wolf cavalry, is also one of the students in the first phase. I heard that the emperor is very satisfied with him. Mr. Jia arranged for Jiang Zhongyi to come and find out the news, and I am afraid there are some people who are comparable to Huang Yi.
Meaning. This issue of students was training talents for Liangzhou, so they could not let Guandong people be champions.”
"Tsk tsk, these two are really opponents. One is the son of the Huang family of Jiangxia, and the son-in-law of Yuan family of Runan, who can actually give up his identity and hang out with a group of horse thieves. The other is the son of the Jiang family of the four surnames of Tianshui, and the dignified county magistrate is not
Do it, be willing to be a student.”
"Only you can give up can you get it." Ma Chao sighed faintly, and wanted to speak but stopped.
At this time, the sound of horns came from afar, one after another, from far to near.
Soon, one of the two closest knights got up from their hideout, jumped onto their horses, and rushed over. "General, there is news ahead that the wolf rider is back and needs to be answered. There are Xianbei people chasing them, probably
More than a thousand riders.”
Ma Chao blinked. "Ling Ming, take Qianqi to welcome him."
Pound took the order, turned over his horse, took a thousand horses, and rode away in the direction pointed by the knight.
Not long after, he saw the smoke and dust in front of him and heard the sound of horns. After walking forward for a few miles, he saw a battle flag embroidered with a red wolf head. The people behind him were chasing him very tightly, but they
He didn't run fast and looked back from time to time. The knights under the wolf often stopped, shot with the crossbow in his hands, and covered his companions' retreat.
The smoke and dust rolled behind them, and the Xianbei people were pursuing them desperately, but they could not get closer, but instead people kept getting caught.
In front of them, there was a figure running back and forth, and no one could stop him wherever he went.
Pang De ordered the horn to be sounded, and he accelerated his throne, running from the wolf cavalry two hundred steps away, killing towards the pursuit of Xianbei people.
Hearing the sound of trumpets and seeing a large number of cavalry coming to support, the wolf cavalry cheered, but the Xianbei people were a little frustrated. They began to slow down, waited and watched unwillingly for a while, turned their horses and fled north.
Pang De did not chase him, and he went around half a circle under his command, separating the wolf cavalry from the Xianbei people.
Lu Bu grabbed the Red Rabbit and bowed. "Where is Lu Bu, can you ask who is yours?"
Pang De looked at Lu Bu and was shocked. Although Lu Bu was covered in blood, the red rabbit under his crotch was hit by two arrows, but he was full of energy. The same was true for the wolf riders beside him. Everyone was injured, but they were all energetic.
, it makes people feel that it is not a problem to fight again and again.
Pang De did not dare to neglect his name and stated his purpose.
"So it's you." Lu Bu knew Pang De and nodded. "Thank you, please drink after returning to the camp."
