Three Kingdoms

Chapter 429: Information from Ma Yue’s defeat

Trust between people is the most difficult to establish.

It's like people of later generations are clamoring about where the most basic sense of trust is while going to the pirated market to read novels.

That’s why there are records in history that record how much someone trusted someone, and how someone reciprocated this heavy trust.

Just imagine, it’s like the street is full of ugly people, and suddenly a person as beautiful as a fairy appears. Will everyone be stunned and sigh, it turns out that there are such beauties in the world!

Most of history is written on thin paper, with a few words, filled with pus, blood and ugliness that is about to overflow. Therefore, those historians will paint the few shining points in a colorful way. , touching the heart.

At most, there is still mutual suspicion and calculation between people...

"Zidu, you said that the Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo didn't pursue him?"

When Fei Qian just saw Ma Yue coming from Pingyang with less than a hundred cavalry, his heart almost stopped for a moment, but after hearing some details told by Ma Yue, his whole heart felt a little better again. temperature.

The Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo directly led his soldiers and horses to capture the Baibo Valley in Ma Yue, while the Baibo Army was attacking the old city of Pingyang!

In this extremely bad news, the only thing that Fei Qian can't figure out now is that Yu Fuluo seems to have let some water go...

First, Yu Fuluo did not participate in the attack on Pingyang County. Of course, the Hu people are not good at attacking cities after all. With soldiers like Baibo Army who are mainly infantry, there is no need for direct hand-to-hand combat with Yu Fuluo, so this makes more or less sense;

Second, although Yu Fuluo defeated the cavalry led by Ma Yue, he did not intercept them. This is a bit interesting. After all, the Hu people are quite good at riding on horseback. From Pingyang to Yong'an, although it is indeed possible to bypass the Baibo Army on the road, it is not that easy to avoid the Hu people with one person and multiple horses. …

Ma Yue's face was full of shame and he knelt down in the hall.

It had only been less than ten days since he had led the independent army, and he was coaxed back like a sheep. Although he understood that it was the most correct thing to come back with effective force, report to Fei Qian, and accept Fei Qian's punishment, but in It was indeed very difficult emotionally.

"...Yes, my lord, the Huns only chased for about ten miles and then they all withdrew. Please punish me, my lord!"

In the Han Dynasty, losing an army meant losing most of the troops. It was also a very serious crime for a general and commander. However, this crime of losing an army must also be judged based on the actual situation. Otherwise, no general would be willing to lead the army. .

However, Ma Yue's current situation must still be punished, but after all, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. If there are no problems in major decisions, it will probably not be a capital crime.

Fei Qian asked: "Of course we must punish the crime, but this is not the point now. If we punish you now, will the real situation be improved? Zidu, let me ask you, you have to think about it in detail. Pass the entire future without missing any details..."

Ma Yue kowtowed, and then slowly recounted the story while recalling it.

After Fei Qian left Pingyang, it turned out that the Baibo Army did not launch any attack on Pingyang from the beginning, but camped on the edge of the Fen River. It seemed that they wanted to ignore Pingyang and go south directly.

But two days ago, Bai Bo's army suddenly turned around and pushed directly to Pingyang City, and began to attack Pingyang County without hesitation.

Ma Yue had originally received instructions from Jia Qu, saying that if Bai Bo's army attacked Pingyang City, then Ma Yue should seek opportunities as much as possible to raid the place where Bai Bo stored grain and grass. He did not need to kill many Bai Bo, but only burned them. Food and grass are equivalent to destroying Bai Bo's energy and spirit in one fell swoop.

On the first and second days of the Baibo Army, they drove the people to attack the city, but their own soldiers did not move. Therefore, the momentum was huge, but it had no effect. Then on the third day, that is, this morning, the Baibo Army used The soldiers...

Ma Yue and his cavalry waited until noon, when the fighting was in full swing, and then suddenly rushed out of the valley and went straight to the Baibo Army's rear camp.

The battle went smoothly at first, but Baibo's army was suddenly attacked, and the siege momentum suddenly became chaotic. Ma Yue led the cavalry into Baibo's rear camp and began to set fire to the food and destroy it...

Just when everything was going according to the original plan, unexpectedly, the Huns' cavalry suddenly joined the battlefield and charged directly at Ma Yue!

There were originally many Hu Qi under Ma Yue. Under the circumstances at that time, many Hu Qi even panicked on the spot and fled first without even waiting for Ma Yue to give any orders. Although there were still Bingzhou veterans supporting them. , but morale has been greatly lost...

There were indeed too many Huns cavalry, almost ten times as many as Ma Yue and others, so they had no choice but to retreat. There were not only Huns cavalry but also Baibo thieves between Ma Yue and Pingyang County. There was no way to enter Pingyang City, so they had to retreat to Yong'an. But the strange thing is that when the entire Xiongnu chased Ma Yue, it seemed that there was no way to enter Pingyang City. He didn't mean to kill them all. He just drove them ten miles away and then took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

After the whole battle, Ma Yue's loss was not caused at any moment of contact, but because the recruited Hu Qi saw that the momentum was not retreating, and quietly slipped away during the evacuation process, which was about ten miles away. …

In other words, for every number of people who died in battle, a large group fled. By the time Ma Yue reorganized his team, only more than a hundred old Bingzhou soldiers and more than a hundred Hu cavalry were left, that is, It is said that about two hundred Hu Qi escaped during this process.

Mercenaries have this kind of virtue, so there won't be many surprises when Fei infiltrates.

It's just that after Fei Qian listened to Ma Yue's whole story, a thought kept swirling in his mind. What does Yu Fuluo mean?

According to Ma Yue, the Huns' cavalry strength was at least 3,000, which means that as long as Yu Fuluo has this determination, there is no big problem in eating more than 500 Ma Yue, but now Yu Fuluo Luo's approach was tantamount to driving him away without taking action.

Although Ma Yue's troops were lost, it was actually Ma Yue's lax control during the retreat and failure to detect and stop him in time that caused Hu Qi to escape, and it was really not Fu Luo's fault.

"How was the situation in Pingyang County when you left?" Fei Qian asked.

Ma Yue said honestly: "At that time, he led troops to attack Baibo's rear camp, so Baibo was in chaos when he attacked the city, and Liang Dao counterattacked and killed many... But later because of the Xiongnu... so the current situation..."

Fei Qian couldn't help but frown...

"Fengxiao, wait a minute...you lost this book, right?"

"Ah, yes, it's mine, thank you Wen Ruo."

"Fengxiao, are you looking for this?"

"My wine gourd! Hey, it's you... Wen Ruo, thank you!"

"Wen Ruo, what's wrong with you following me all the time?"

"I'm waiting for when Fengxiao loses himself, so I can pick him back up in the tent..."
