Chapter 761: Yellow Sand Fills the Sky

Although Zhang Liao lost a lot of soldiers and horses this time, he was able to kill Wen Chou, the general of the Yuan army, no matter how much it cost.

When Wen Chou's head was hung on the mast, the cheers in the city resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The soldiers laughed loudly, embraced indulgingly, and some even kissed the earth and wept with joy.

Unlike this festive atmosphere, Wen Chou's head hung alone in the air, swaying from side to side in the cold wind. Those dead eyes were still full of disbelief.

"Tick, tick!"

The wind whimpered, and blood flowed to the ground, as if sobbing for the dead general.

Once the success is done, the bones will wither, and the ugly will fall, which will naturally become a stepping stone for others to become famous.

Under Chen Xu's command, a bright star that has not appeared in history is slowly rising. It is not known what kind of brilliance he can shine.

In the county guard's mansion, Zhang Liao looked at Xu Xian, who had regained some strength, and said, "Thanks to Bird's help this time, not only would I not be able to kill Wen Chou, I'm afraid even I might not be able to come back." ”

Xu Xian took a deep breath and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

The two looked up and saw a messenger rushing in, shouting loudly: "Good news, good news for the party!" ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly took the letter, and after reading the contents, he said: "The Yuan army led by Yan Liang has been broken by General Wang Yan. ”

"Now Yuan Benchu has also led the troops to retreat, and the crisis of the state has been resolved!"

Xu Xian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "The general resisted the main force of the Yuan army, first robbed the camp and frustrated the enemy's spirit, and today he beheaded the general of the Yuan army. ”

Zhang Liao did not show the smile that a winner should have on his face, but walked slowly to the door, staring into the distance.

After a long time, he sighed: "It's a pity that this battle failed to break the Yuan army." ”

Zhang Liao was young and ambitious, and although he was polished after coming to Chen Xu, he was still proud.

He is young and ambitious, has excellent martial arts, and knows everything about the art of war, and he has never felt that he is much worse than the rest of the generals in Guanzhong.

But today, although Zhang Liao has become famous, he is still a little worse than Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others.

This time, Chen Xu asked him to guard Yanmen County, but he didn't have the intention of letting him stand alone.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, being able to block the attack of Yuan's 70,000 army is already a great achievement, but for Zhang Liao, this is far from enough.

Whether it is Chen Gong or Wang Yan, they can defeat the two Yuan armies with weak forces, why can't Zhang Liao?

Thinking about it, Zhang Liao's eyes became sharp.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Xian and said, "I intend to lead the troops to pursue Yuan Jun again, I wonder if Bird thinks so?" ”

Xu Xian was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Pursuing Yuan Jun again, how can he be defenseless?" ”

Zhang Liao said: "When the Yuan army saw that I retreated after the first pursuit, he must have thought that the back road was worry-free, and if he led the troops to pursue again at this time, he would definitely be able to break the Yuan army." ”

Xu Xian hurriedly admonished: "He has a good way to govern the army and has outstanding wisdom; The elite of the camp is abnormal, and the cavalry is specialized. The general robbed the camp twice before and broke the Yuan army, how could he be frustrated again? ”

"If you lead the troops to pursue at this time, you will definitely be defeated and invincible."

At this moment, Zhang Yang strode in and said to Zhang Liao: "Hu Chuquan is very dissatisfied because of the heavy casualties of the Hun cavalry in this battle. ”

Zhang Liao was shocked in his heart and said, "We must appease this person well, and we must not treat them badly." ”

Xu Xian's words were reasonable, and Zhang Yang came to interrupt again, Zhang Liao finally gave up the idea of continuing to hunt down Yuan Jun.

We will not raise troops because of anger, nor will we raise troops because we want to make meritorious contributions, otherwise there will always be times when decisions are made wrong.

Although Zhang Liao was eager to make meritorious contributions, he would not put the three armies in danger for this reason.

However, he said that Wen Chou was beheaded, and Zhang Liao led the Hun cavalry to retreat, and he couldn't help but turn blue in frustration.

He didn't expect that what was supposed to be a good ambush battle would be turned into victory by Zhang Liao, and the general Wen Chou would be killed.

In the final analysis, this should not be blamed at all, Wen Chou was beheaded because he was rash and unprepared.

In addition, Zhang Liao and Xu Xian have no intention of calculating, so they can kill Wen Chou.

When Zhang Liao led the troops to retreat, Fu Zhu was not paralyzed, and after suffering the loss of Zhang Liao's second robbery of the camp, Fu Zhu was shocked by Zhang Liao's boldness.

Even if Zhang Liao led his troops to chase after him for the second time, he would not be surprised at all.

But this time, the frustration who ambushed in another place did not wait for Zhang Liao's second pursuit after all, and finally had to retreat slowly.

As for Yuan Shao, when he learned the news of Wen Chou's death, he was even more furious, and he wanted to lead his troops back to kill Benyin Pavilion in order to avenge Wen Chou.

The generals repeatedly admonished, Yuan Shaocai restrained his anger, and then led the troops back to Jizhou.

The battle of Bingzhou also ended with Yuan Shao's withdrawal.

……

Time and space are reversed, and the lens is changed, allowing us to set our eyes on Liangzhou again.

However, Chen Jing heard that the princes of the Three Roads attacked Guanzhong, and he was immediately shocked, and he wanted to return to the army to help with the people of Liangzhou.

However, thinking that the Qiang situation was undecided, Ma Chao was entrenched in Longxi with heavy troops, so he hesitated.

Chen Jing originally had a lot of ghost ideas, and she would do whatever it took to achieve her goals, but after thinking about it, she finally remembered Ma Teng, and immediately frowned.

Chen Jing wrote a letter to Cheng Yu, asking him to coerce Ma Teng to persuade Ma Chao to surrender. Ma Teng had no choice but to let people fly to Ma Chao and let Ma Chao lead the crowd to surrender.

However, Chen Jing did not have a good impression of the Qiang people, and adhered to Duan Cheng's iron and bloody skills, and was not ready to accept the surrender of the Qiang people at all, but wanted to exterminate them.

Therefore, when Chen Jing learned the news of Ma Chao's willingness to surrender, he conspired with Ma Chao to destroy the Qiang people.

Only this time, the location of the pit killing of the Qiang people was selected by Ma Chao in the four counties of Longxi.

The four counties of Longxi, also known as the barren land, the yellow sand swept the land.

It is almost a forbidden area for life, except for a few aliens who often live here, and the living conditions are very difficult.

A few travelers on camels suddenly saw the yellow sand in front of them covering the sky and the sun, and couldn't help but shout in horror: "How can there be a sandstorm today, how is it possible?" ”

Encountering a sandstorm in the desert is a complete death for travelers.

Although sandstorms are terrifying, they also have traces, and generally speaking, there are no sandstorms at all during this time period.

However, there are no absolutes, and if you really encounter this terrible natural disaster, you can only resign yourself to fate.

Just when these travelers were about to despair, they suddenly felt the earth shake slightly.

"Hey, it's not a sandstorm, it looks like a cavalry."

A torrent swept in the distance, and it was a Biaoqiang cavalry.

Even though the desert was very soft, the ground shook slightly as the large group of cavalry rushed.

"Great!"

Seeing this, several travelers couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and they all felt that they were hovering on the edge of life and death for once.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The war horses galloped in, getting closer and closer to this group of travelers, and the travelers immediately flashed to the side very familiarly.

However, a group of cavalry rushed straight towards these people, and the traveler thought that they were here to ask for directions, so he couldn't help but stop scattering.

"Kill!"

The cavalry charged, and before the travelers could recover their senses, they heard a burst of cheering.

"What's going on?"

The traveler looked at the murderous Qiang cavalry, his face showed an extremely frightened look, and he couldn't help but tremble and ask.

"Poof!"

It wasn't the knights who answered them, but the icy blades.

The long knife slashed his throat, and blood splattered out, and after falling to the ground, it was quickly absorbed by the desert, leaving only a blush in his wake.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The swords flew, and those travelers were all slaughtered without surprise, and their heads rose to the sky, and they died without blinking their eyes.

"Poof!"

The head and the corpse fell to the ground one after the other, and the cavalry did not even look at the men, and then turned to join the large army.

As time passed, the yellow sand finally buried the corpses.

Many years later, when archaeologists enter the area and find these detached dried corpses, they will speculate a lot about it.

The cavalry rolled up the yellow sand and continued to gallop in the desert, and the leader was Ma Chao.

At this time, Ma Chao's bright silver armor had lost its luster, and his handsome face also looked a little vicissitudes.

He exhaled a breath of white air, shook his body on his horse, and then asked the person beside him, "How long will it be before I can leave this desert?" ”

The man beside Ma Chao was a Qiang leader who had led a tribe of hundreds of people who lived near the desert.

Later, the Qiang tribe was integrated, and this person naturally became a member of the Qiang kingdom, and this time to pass through this desert, Ma Chao let this person be a guide.

Hearing Ma Chao's cold and impatient voice, the leader of the Qiang people trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "Don't be anxious, the king, just run forward for half a day to reach the next oasis." ”

Ma Chao nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything more, but the speed of the horse galloping was faster.

As the sun moves to the west, the glow of the setting sun still illuminates the earth, and the red sunset and the endless yellow sand complement each other, which has a touching beauty.

Ahead, it is the junction of the oasis and the yellow sand, the green and the yellow sand are accompanied, and there is also a sense of beauty that violates the harmony.

Ma Chao let the war horse stop at the place where the oasis and the yellow sand divide, turned the horse's head to stare at the sunset on the horizon, and showed an obsessive look in his eyes.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew through the sky, and its majestic posture was extremely vigorous.

Seeing this, Ma Chao retracted his thoughts and muttered softly: "No matter how beautiful the scenery of the land of yellow sand is, it is only full of desolation and decay. No matter how good an eagle is at flying, it can't fly across the entire sky. ”

After speaking, Ma Chao suddenly hung the spear on the horse's back, picked up a hard bow and put it on the arrow, and shot an arrow at the eagle in the sky.

"Poof!"

The eagle fell in response, and Ma Chao said proudly: "Pick up my dinner!" ”
