New Story of Lv Bu

On December 27th, Longxi County was ruled, fifty miles west of Didao.

Forty thousand Han troops were encampment, Ma Teng wore a helmet, and walked around, watching his 10,000 soldiers encamp. From time to time, he talked and laughed with the soldiers, making innocent jokes. By the way, tell them which areas are not doing well enough, and the soldiers blushed and quickly corrected them.

"General Ma!" "Ma Sima!" Everywhere he went, people stood up straight and saluted him. He also walked along in response, looking sharply at every corner. He was still very satisfied with the 10,000 people under him. They were all young and strong young men. As long as they were full, it would be no problem to defeat the rebels of the kingdom.

Whenever someone called him General Ma, Ma Teng always yelled: "It's better to call him Ma Sima, that general just reported, and the court has not approved it!" "General Ma, Ma Sima yelled so awkwardly!" Or the general sounds comfortable!" The soldiers laughed and joked with him.

Ma Teng, whose name is Shoucheng, was a native of Fufeng Maoling. It is rumored that he is the descendant of Ma Yuan, General Han Fubo. His father used to be Tianshuilan Ganwei, but he lost his position and stayed in Longxi, married a Qiang girl, and gave birth to Ma Teng. When Ma Teng was young, his family was poor and had no business. He is more than eight feet long, has a huge body, a magnificent face and nose, and a virtuous personality. People admire him very much.

In April of this year, the governor of Liangzhou, Geng Bi, engaged in Cheng Qiu in his governance. Cheng Qiu was cunning and insidious and greedy, so much so that the Di Taoist kingdom united the Qiang and Di rebels and gathered tens of thousands of people in Longxi. The states and counties recruited warriors in order to conquer the rebellion. Ma Teng enlisted and was valued by state and county officials. He was appointed as an officer to lead the army. Later, he was promoted to the army Sima with meritorious service. Because of his excellent record, he had just reported to the court to be promoted to a partial general.

Finally, the inspection was over, and while the soldiers were burying the pot for cooking, he returned to the big tent to rest. Just after pouring two large bowls of herbal tea and moving his sore legs, a dozen of his subordinates broke in. "General, something may be going on!" Ma Teng was shocked and jumped up from the ground. "What's the matter? Quickly make it clear!"

A school lieutenant took out a grain bag from behind and handed it to Ma Teng. Ma Teng took it over, weighed the weight with his hands, and immediately understood. The weight of this bag of millet is only six liters, which is not a bucket that should be supplied in wartime. The soldiers of this dynasty, during the war, each gave a bucket of millet every day, combined with salt and sauce. As for what else, it depends on the seizure on that day or what can be imported nearby.

"This is the ration for tomorrow that has just been issued, and it has been like this since the army started. We asked the heavy camp, and they said it was Cheng Qiu's order. Now the soldiers in the battalions are so angry that they are all discussing this matter. If so. If you don't try to calm it down, something is going to happen today!" A dozen school lieutenants and Junhou nodded together, looking at Ma Teng in swift gazes.

Without even thinking about it, Ma Teng wore a helmet and strode out of the tent. "Tell the soldiers to wait a while, don't make trouble, I'll go to see Governor Geng!" "No!" a dozen captains responded in unison. Slowly followed Ma Teng and watched him enter the contemptible army tent of Liangzhou governor, and then found a place nearby to sit down and wait for the news.

Geng Bi, a Confucian student, entered the shogunate of General He Jin a few years ago. In the year when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou took advantage of the situation. Later, the rebels forced Liangzhou celebrities Bian Zhang and Han Sui to join the rebels. Since then, the rebels have gained momentum and defeated the Han army several times. The Liangzhou governor Zuo Chang, Song Xiao, Yang Yong and others were dismissed successively for suppressing the rebellion. Geng Bi praised the general He Jin for going to Haikou, claiming that the Qiang rebellion would surely be put down within a year, so he was able to serve as the Liangzhou governor. Post.

Seeing that the one-year period was approaching, he had to bite the bullet and recruit 40,000 soldiers from six counties and counties to come to crusade against the kingdom. At this time, he was discussing secretly with Cheng Qiu in the Great Account of the Chinese Army. "This time I sent troops, I was really a little worried. If I can't win the kingdom and break the troops again, what face do I have to go to see the general?"

"The governor needn't worry about it, just think about it with the ball, this battle will win!" Cheng Qiu replied decisively. At this moment, he must cheer Geng Bi. Geng Mi's foundation is a pure-skilled scholar who can't do big things, and don't want to do small things, so he opens his mouth and blows everything up, and he can't do anything to work. And he is hesitant in disposition, more planning than judgment. This is the standard image of Dahan Qingliu. But then again, if Geng Bi is as capable as Fu Xie, would it be his turn to show off before he can get a lot of hands?

Geng Bi was immediately interested: "Oh? Why do you see it?" Cheng Qiu bowed his hands and saluted: "Kingdom, Piff! All his men are mobs, not to mention the armored armor, even the livery. Our army has 40,000. Everyone, besides, there are brave generals like Ma Teng, please be relieved by the governor, as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, within a few days, the kingdom will definitely give the first!" "This statement is great!" Geng Qiqijie admired.

"It's just that the food is still insufficient. The past few years have been famine years, and the food is insufficient." Seeing Geng Bi's happiness, Cheng Qiu was about to take the opportunity to carry private goods. "Oh! How can this be good?" Geng Bi was shocked. "The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, how to fight if there is no grain and grass?" "When the army set out, I wrote to the court to urge the grain and grass. If the army has no grain and loses the battle, the court must not blame the governor!"

This sentence came to the bottom of Geng's heart. What he was most worried about was that the court blamed him for nothing, and sent him to jail. "It's rare for you to think so thoughtfully!" "In order to deepen the impression of the court, the subordinates today used the name of Lord Cishi to shun the court. There is no food in the army, and only 60% of the ration is distributed every day. If there is no food in seven days, the army I had to go back to my teacher!"

Cheng Qiu raised his face and looked at Geng Bi, then lowered his voice and said, "From the point of view of his subordinates, the food for the court within seven days is definitely not counted! As soon as the seventh day arrives, the army can return to the division immediately!" Geng After thinking about it briefly, he understood the key points, and his move was to push the scapegoat to the court.

Geng Bi led an army of 40,000 and fought against the kingdom, but there was no food in the army, and the court's rations were not delivered, so the army had to retreat. Winning, it was Liangzhou governor Geng Bi wisely and decisively, using his troops well. Lost, there is no food in the army. Regardless of victory or defeat, it is enough to explain to the court!

"Hahahaha!" Geng Bi and Cheng Qiu laughed, their laughter filled with ease and pride.

"Report! General Ma Teng, Longxi prefect Li Xiangru, and Jiuquan prefect Huang Yan begging to see you outside the tent!" The guard at the entrance of the Chinese army's big tent announced loudly. "Tell them to come in!" Geng Bi put aside his smile, sitting right behind the desk, Cheng Qiu's face was solemn, and both of them looked at the door of the big tent.

"See Sir Governor!" General Ma Teng, Longxi prefect Li Xiangru, Jiuquan prefect Huang Yan strode into the Chinese army's large account and bowed their hands in salute. "The three, please sit down and see the officer this time, but what's the big deal?" Geng Bi said with a long voice. The three looked at each other and spoke together.

"Dare to ask Master Governor Shi, today’s soldiers’ rations are only 60% per person. It is said that Cheng Zhizhong ordered it down, but is there such a thing?" Geng Bi understood when he heard it. Dare to love these few people who came to Xingshi to inquire, he cleared. Coughed, ready to speak. I didn't want Cheng Qiu to get ahead: "This is true. The army has insufficient food, so the soldiers have to be wronged for a few days. Once the court's rations arrive, the supply will be restored immediately."

Li Xiangru was anxious when he heard it. He and Huang Yan were both guest troops. They lost their territory early and they all relied on Geng Bi for supplies. Together with Cheng Qiu's hands, the rations and supplies had always been only 40%, and they were already furious. "Cheng Zhizhong, you only give 40% of the army rations, and you can't get enough to eat. How do you tell the soldiers to fight?"

Cheng Qiu had no wave on Gu Jing's face, spread his hands, and looked at the sky with his eyes. "Three adults, there is no food in the army. What can I do? The court's rations have not arrived several times. I am also very embarrassed!" Looking at Cheng Qiu's ambitions, what can you do with me? , Li Xiangru's eyes were red immediately.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he carried Cheng Qiu over, pressed it on the ground and hit it, shouting, "Which army will you send if the arsenal is insufficient? Your granary is full, all smuggled from the official warehouse! Let's go and see now, is there enough rations?" He sank so hard that Cheng Qiu screamed.

At this time, I could only hear a shout: "Good fight!" Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan, also joined the battle group. "His grandmother! The rations are insufficient, what do you and your people eat? Every day there are big fish and meat! The smell of stew can be smelled throughout the barracks! The leftover wheat and rice are thrown everywhere!" "You can't fight! Two adults, please let go for the time being!" Ma Teng was anxious to persuade this and then to persuade that.

"Enough! Come here, cross the two of them out!" Geng Bi roared and stood up. Hula la, a dozen guards came from outside the account, and even pulled the two men out, and Ma Teng hurriedly followed out. Geng Bi helped Cheng Qiu, Cheng Qiu was already black and swollen, only half his life left.

"Master Cishi, you have to call the shots for me!" Cheng Qiu let out a trombone, tightly holding on to his despicable thigh.

Evening has arrived, and there is no warmth in the cold military tent, and there is no food in the belly, and this upcoming night looks even colder. Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi, and Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan, were sitting in the big tent, discussing something. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a person walked in. The two of them looked intently.

The two hurriedly got up to salute, Cheng Yi did not speak, took out two papers from his arms and gently placed them on the case table. The two hurriedly opened it and saw that it was Liangzhou governor Geng Bian who went to the court to impeach them. They refused to obey the order and beat Liangzhou Zhizhong to engage in Chengqiu for no reason. The other is a private letter written by Geng Bi to General He Jin, in which he said a lot of bad things about the two of them.

Cheng Yi showed a grinning grin on his face: "I want to kill Geng Bi and Cheng Qiu, and vote for Han Sui, do you both mean it?"
