Three Kingdoms

Authority is a heavy weapon. Since it is heavy, you need to have some strength to be able to pick it up, and you also need to be able to play with it. Not everyone can do it. If you don’t have enough strength, , of course, this power is not only physical strength, but also intelligence. Then not only will you not be able to enjoy the benefits brought by authority, but you will be hurt by authority.

It's just that in this world, there are always people who think they can play with power, but they forget that he is not the only one in this world...

The world is not centered on one person. The sooner you realize this, the more objective you will be, and the more you will be able to take advantage of certain things.

When Wei Duan realized that he could not replace Pang Tong's ideas with his own, and had to consider the problem from Pang Tong's perspective, he discovered a fatal oversight in his previous ideas.

Staying safe at home, on the one hand, can protect the family as much as possible, and on the other hand, it can also show that one is not involved in the current riots among the three assistants in Chang'an, which is very reasonable.

But the problem is that this is reasonable, it is Wei Duan's reasonable, not Pang Tong's reasonable, nor the hussar general's reasonable.

If Wei Duan was an opposition figure, there would be no problem in doing so. Just like when he had not held any important positions before, Fei Qian was assassinated in Chang'an City, and then he encountered a ranger rebellion, etc., that At that time, Wei Duan stayed close to the door and stayed behind closed doors. There was no problem at all.

Well, I can’t say there’s no problem at all, but it’s not a big problem.

But now it doesn’t work anymore, the situation has changed...

Wei Duan is currently the dean of the Senate Law Academy!

Although it is still an uncertain question how much authority the Senate has, but at least the title hangs high there, and Wei Duan's entire family has also benefited from having this title. So now if Wei Duan Duan continues to stay behind closed doors...

Opposition officials or petty officials can stay at home, but as the dean of the Senate, you should not and absolutely cannot close the door of your own room and act as if you can't see or hear anything!

What is the Senate? He is still nominally in charge of the organization that consults the laws of the Han Dynasty. As the functional leader of such an organization, when facing the current turmoil of Chang'an Sanfu, if he pretends not to know anything, what does it mean?

Wei Duan was so anxious that he was sweating, but he couldn't run in a hurry, because the entire Chang'an was under martial law, and soldiers holding bows and crossbows were standing on the high platforms on both sides of the street. Wei Duan could even feel as if someone was aiming a crossbow at him, which caused bursts of soreness and numbness on his back. He wanted to scratch it, but was afraid of making too big a move and causing misunderstanding...

Walk one section, stop one section, report, report back, and then continue forward. The journey that originally only took one stick of incense to reach, Wei Duan walked for less than half an hour, and when he finally arrived in front of the Hussar General's Mansion When he was walking, he saw Ma Yan standing in armor on the square, and then suddenly remembered, no wonder so many soldiers suddenly appeared near Chang'an, on the one hand for inspection, and more importantly on the other hand, it was the military academy!

These military academy soldiers usually practice and study in Xianyang Plains and rarely appear in public view. Therefore, it was only now that Wei Duan suddenly realized that there was such a military column, let alone Ordinary gentry children who don’t even know whether there is a military academy.

Of course, Wei Duan still doesn't know that Jia Xu of Longyou has sent many soldiers here...

Having met General Ma... Wei Duan saluted Ma Yan. If this had happened before, Wei Duan would not have had any sex with a martial artist, but the current situation was uncontrollable and he had to bow his head when he should.

Ma Yan slightly arched his hands in return, then still stood in front of the government office, paying no attention to Wei Duan.

Haha, I met Yuan Zheng... What happened to Yuan Zheng that delayed him? It came so slowly... A half-figure appeared on the porch of the General's Mansion, and a word floated over, but I didn't know how important it was...

Wei Duan turned around and saw that he was confused.

Wei Duan cursed in his heart and was about to speak when another figure came out. Brother Wei's family has a big business, so naturally it will take some time to deal with it...

Brother Li Xian... Wei Duan's beard trembled, why are you here?

The younger brother was just taking a rest... When he encountered this incident, he naturally went to Qiusi's command to take orders... Li Yuan said with a smile. He originally thought he would see Brother Wei when he got here, but he didn't expect to wait for a long time...

Wei Duan couldn't help feeling that he had a toothache, took a breath, changed the subject and said: Have you ever seen Pang Lingjun? No matter what I said, it was too late, and no amount of explanation could change this fact. It also made people feel that I was looking for various reasons to quibble, and simply changed the topic and avoided talking about it.

Haha... not yet... Zhong Jie smiled and had no intention of chasing him. He retreated into the shadow of the porch and stopped talking. Now that Wei Duan has arrived, arriving early is an attitude, and arriving late is also an attitude. Zhongjie just points it out. As for the follow-up matters, naturally it is not under Zhongjie's control. If he insists on this point, it will be It makes people feel that they have lost their dignity. Even if Wei Duan falls, he may not be able to take his turn.

Li Yuan was still smiling and called Wei Duan to come and stand with him. Pang Lingjun was busy and had not summoned him... but... that's about it...

Li Yuan glanced at the horizon, and there was already a faint light.

Wei Duan's heart skipped a beat and he turned around to look. Then he realized something and broke into a cold sweat. Then he felt a little bit lucky...

…(o_o)?! …

The darkness before dawn is often the most deadly time.

Even the most profound dreams should wake up at dawn. If you can wake up naturally, you will probably only feel a little regretful. But if you are awakened midway, then the dream may turn into a nightmare.

Is the cleanup complete? Ma Yue asked.

The military lord behind Ma Yue held his hands, and there was still some blood dripping down from the gaps in the armor on his body.

After investigating more than a hundred thieves, they have all been killed! Is it necessary to hang the head in front of the border? The military lord was full of murderous intent, and there was a hint of pride in his tone.

It is not easy for a military lord to move up a level. Now that he has more than a hundred heads at this level, the hope of taking another step up is naturally greater.

Tongguan was originally a pass, mainly for military garrison. After receiving Pang Tong's order, Ma Yue had already launched a clearing of the pass before the rebels arrived. Zuo Fengyi's men who had previously ambushed thought they had been exposed. , and there is no way to obtain timely information like later generations, or they will be killed due to stubborn resistance, or they will surrender and be captured.

By the time these rebels arrived, Tongguan had already been cleaned up and down.

According to the original plan of the rebel army, they first lured Ma Yue to lead the troops out, and then the people lurking in Tongguan could take advantage of the opportunity to take action. Then Ma Yue and others would inevitably be in chaos when their future was unknown and their retreat was cut off. At that time, it would naturally not require much effort to defeat Ma Yue in one fell swoop and seize Tongguan.

And now...

No rush... Ma Yue looked at Guan Xia.

The reason why Ma Yue didn't deal with the thieves in Tongguan was not because Ma Yue looked down on the merits of those heads, but because he had a bigger piece of meat in front of him...

Outside Tongguan, the Yang family, Ma family and others were looking forward to it eagerly, but there was no news in Tongguan. They waited from midnight to dawn, but they did not get the situation they wanted.

Many of the rebels were already exhausted after working hard all night. After setting up a camp, they were ordered to wait, but when the Sandman came, there was nothing these guys could contend with. Everyone was thinking Anyway, it's fine if you take a nap, others just hold on, and then everyone goes to sleep.

So after Ma Yue solved the internal problems in Tongguan, he quietly gathered his troops, opened the gate of Tongguan and separated into three queues to attack the rebel camp, most of these guys were still sleeping...

Ma Yue ordered to rush into the rebel camp as quickly as possible and deal a devastating blow to the sleeping rebels. He also assigned a hundred rangers to roam around the periphery, responsible for chasing down some scattered escapees.

When the deafening sound of horse hooves sounded, these rebels were still in a dazed state, unable to even subconsciously defend themselves.

Ma Yue and others rushed out of the darkness like ghosts and gods!

Although a large part of the rebel army is county soldiers, as well as private soldiers who have received certain basic training, the quality of such soldiers cannot be compared with the professional soldiers under the hussars, not to mention that the respective commanders of the rebel army are in chaos. , although there are a lot of things like Du Wei and Xiao Lieutenant, but the false name does not allow the strength to be increased in the same way. On the contrary, because each family is Du Wei and Xiao Lieutenant, the orders are confused and cannot be coordinated.

Yang Shuo was woken up, and then he let out a scream as if he had been stabbed in the chrysanthemum. It was shrill and terrifying. Someone was hijacking the camp! The camp was hijacked...

This is a massacre.

On one side is the hunter who has been planning for a long time, is fierce and experienced, and on the other side is the prey who is immersed in sleep.

Ma Yue has been training cavalry in Yinshan for so many years, so he is naturally good at commanding such small-scale raids. The galloping cavalry broke through the insignificant fortifications of the rebel camp at the fastest speed, and then rushed into the rebel camp. In the meantime, the entire queue took turns to penetrate, drive, and surround the rebel camp in small groups.

The hussars are extremely fast, making it difficult for the rebel army to adapt. They are often just preparing to fight against the group in front of them, and then the following group kills their own flanks. In addition, the hussars have strong armor and are brave and good at fighting. The army camp soon fell into chaos. It seemed that fighting was happening everywhere. There were roars and screams everywhere. Together with the sound of the hoofbeats of war horses and the collision of weapons, it became increasingly difficult to tell the difference between the rebels. Where are we, and which direction should we go? Over there are the enemies, and over there are our own people.

The rebel army tried every means to get Ma Yue and others out of the city, and even deliberately built the camp to be full of flaws. But they didn't expect that when Ma Yue came out, they couldn't hold it!

The originally sworn and confident people of the Ma family were staring at Tongguan eagerly. They were ecstatic, feeling that their plan had finally succeeded. Then they eagerly waited for a rebellion to break out in Tongguan, so that they could fight back and capture Tongguan in one fell swoop. , but I didn’t expect that Tongguan was so quiet, as if they were silently laughing at them...

Then the swords and guns of Ma Yue and other hussar soldiers were raised in front of their eyes!

The disorder and chaos of the rebel army eventually led to the final disaster of the rebel army.

Although some of the rebels resisted Ma Yue and others, it was of no use. More rebels blew up the camp and fled in all directions. Some of the dazed ones even bumped into the hooves of Ma Yue and others' horses, and were directly trampled and kicked by the galloping horses. It was terrible to see.

The chaos in the camp was extremely chaotic. The soldiers of the rebel army didn't know which captain to listen to. Those newly promoted captains and captains couldn't find their own soldiers, so they had to fight on their own. There were quite a few rebel soldiers. Before the soldiers knew what was happening, they were cut down to the ground and died.

Ma Yue's spear was as if it had eyes. It was extremely sharp in the dark night, fast, accurate and ruthless, reaping the lives of the soldiers in front of him one by one.

Except for Zhan Liushu like Fei Qian, most generals look at their surroundings. If they are surrounded by a group of mediocre players, even one or two masters will gradually be dragged down to their original level. , and if there are all strong players around, then the weaker party will be promoted unknowingly.

When Ma Yue was in Yinshan at the beginning, he had been partnering with Zhao Yun for a long time. Naturally, the two people had to compete with each other in martial arts. Ma Yue, who used Zhao Yun as his benchmark and his opponent, immediately discovered the rebels in front of him. They are simply a herd of cattle and sheep, even worse than cattle and sheep.

Cattle and sheep also know how to hide, but these guys don't even know how to hide...

The hussars were galloping back and forth, waving their spears and swords like the wind. The heads and limbs of the rebels were flying, and blood was everywhere. They were running like wolves and crying for their mothers, and they were all scurrying around like headless flies. People slaughter.

Ma Yue soon lost the nature of killing ordinary rebels and began to look for more valuable targets on the battlefield, and soon discovered Yang Shuo and others.

After Yang Shuo was awakened, his first thought was that the camp had been hijacked, and his second thought was to escape. When Yang Shuo secretly ran out from behind the tent, he saw that the rebels had no power to fight back. They were almost massacred immediately, which made him lose all his courage and hurriedly fight for the way out. He ran away, and then turned his head and suddenly found that Ma's people were also running away.

Yang Shuo:......

The original plan of the Ma family was ideal, wonderful, and even comprehensive to a certain extent. First it caused chaos around Linjin, and then the county magistrate in Linjin County was one of his own, and then he also controlled the Jingshan military stronghold. As long as Tongguan was opened, he could be connected with the Hongnong Yang family, and could be further exploited. The secret passage captured Hangu Pass, and then connected with Cao Cao, and then it was stable...

But now Ma Yue slapped him without any politeness. The slap made the Ma family members dizzy and crying for their father and mother. However, no matter how reluctant he is, when facing the current situation, Ma's people can only run away, because he knows that once he is caught by Ma Yue, he will definitely die ugly, so Ma's people The people quickly found Zhao Qilang, and then took advantage of the chaos in the camp to escape.

When Yang Shuo saw Ma Yue charging straight towards him, he was so frightened that he flew out of his wits. Then at the critical moment, he suddenly had an idea and jumped off the horse. He yelled for surrender and pointed in the direction in which Ma's people were escaping. there! He’s the one in charge!

Ma Yue looked in the direction pointed by Yang Shuo, and saw that some people seemed to be guarding someone, so he shook his spear and let it pass the tip of the spear, then whipped Yang Shuo to the ground and tied him up. ! Then he turned the horse's head and chased in the direction where Ma's people fled.

What is connected by interests will often eventually be separated by interests.

When the people of the Ma family fled, they thought that Yang Shuo would be more obvious and attract Ma Yue's attention. But what he didn't expect was that Yang Shuo, as a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, would beg to surrender regardless of his face!

If Yang Shuo was a descendant of the main family of the Yang family in Hongnong, he might still be hesitant, but unfortunately, Yang Shuo is just a branch of the Yang family, and because Yang Shuo travels around all the time and does business, he has long been contaminated. As a businessman, once he sees that there is no immediate benefit, he immediately cuts off his flesh and leaves the business, at least to save his life, how can he possibly let the people of the Ma family get what they want?

As a result, the people of the Ma family were forced to face Ma Yue's increasingly closer pursuit...

Lieutenant Zhao, no, General Zhao! Ma's people turned around and shouted to Zhao Qilang hurriedly, General Zhao quickly led his people to intercept this thief. On a certain day... he will not forget General Zhao's meritorious service!

Zhao Qilang originally brought out one or two hundred cavalry from the military camp, but he was unable to enter Linjin City. He was somewhat disappointed. Then he followed Ma's people to Tongguan. I became a captain, and now I heard that I have become a general again. This series of three-level jumps is naturally very satisfying, but no matter how pleasant it is, it is only because I have a life, and if it turns into four petals, even if it is temporary No matter how cool it is, what’s the use in the future?

And after the previous impulse, Zhao Qilang suddenly felt that what Ma said originally was so unreliable...

First they said that there was no problem in Linjin, then Linjin turned out to be a problem, and later they said that it would be OK if Tongguan was opened. Tongguan was definitely fine, but now it has become like this, again and again, maybe it is understandable, and again and again, right? So what's the point of playing monkey?

Zhao Qilang glanced at the Ma family, then turned to look at the horse behind him that was getting closer and closer. He quickly assessed the current situation and found that although both sides were riding horses, it was obvious that the horse that was surpassing the horse had better riding skills. Well, the war horse needs to be stronger and faster. If nothing happens, he will probably be caught up after one or two sticks of incense!

But if he really turns back and fights for his life...

Don't be kidding, Zhao Qilang's risking his life to gain wealth is just an adjective, and he doesn't really want to turn it into a verb!

Zhao! Will! military! Seeing this, the people of the Ma family made some guesses, and couldn't help but gnashed their teeth and shouted, Don't forget the wives and children in Linjin!

Zhao Qilang was stunned for a moment, then glared angrily. After a moment, he suddenly smiled, reached out and twisted his waist, and slashed at the Ma family member with a knife!

The Ma family member screamed and dodged hastily, but he did not completely dodge and passed by. He was cut with a bloody mouth and fell off his horse with a scream! Ma's guards obviously did not expect such a situation. They immediately screamed and quickly spun around to grab Ma.

Zhao Qilang whistled and led the people to flee, because he knew that it was not him who Ma Yue was chasing, and he and the Ma family did not have a master-servant relationship, they were just using each other. A disaster was imminent. Naturally, they broke up in one fell swoop!

Sure enough, Ma Yue valued Ma's son more, and swept in like a strong wind, beating Ma's guards to pieces. After successfully capturing Ma, he turned to look at Zhao Qilang and others, and they had disappeared into the night. Got it...
