Five hundred and forty-two Hongwu's scheme

The building boat crosses the snow melon island at night, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind.

Dasanguan is located in a dangerous place, choking the throat of Shaanxi Sichuan, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Liu Bang's "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang" was to send troops from Sanguan, taking advantage of Xiang Yu's unpreparedness, to occupy the important place in Guanzhong in one fell swoop.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, the Sanguan in the throat fortress was even more warlike, and the beacon was in full swing, and Cao Cao's expedition to Hanzhong Zhang Lu marched from here. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he also sent troops from Sanguan and knocked directly on Chen Cang, and later blocked by Cao Wei's generals Cao Zhen and Hao Zhao, and retreated due to the exhaustion of food.

It was precisely because of the importance of Sanguan that Qin Liangyu speculated that Zhu Yuanzhang would guard Sanguan with heavy troops, so he suggested to Ma Teng to go to Duangu, one hundred and twenty miles north of Sanguan; All the way to the east, through Yumi, Yongxian, Yiguo to Fufeng, so that you have walked three-quarters of the way. Finally, from Lantian in the south of Chang'an, march east for about 300 miles to reach Shangluo, and join Wei Qing and Zhao Yun who responded.

"Now we have to change our plans!" Qin Liangyu's delicate brows furrowed, and his face was cautious. Her choice was related to the lives of more than 30,000 Xiliang warriors, so Qin Liangyu had to be cautious.

A large group of old men gathered around, but it was up to a female streamer to make up his mind, which made Ma Chao a little ashamed, patted his wife's shoulder gently, and comforted him softly: "Liangyu, you don't have to be anxious, if it really doesn't work, let's stay in Luoyang for a few days, and send scouts to spy on it." ”

Qin Liangyu shook his head without hesitation: "No, the soldiers are fast!" The slower we go, the easier it will be to give Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Su the opportunity to calmly set up ambushes. Since Miss Wang said that there is a trail to bypass the pass, let's not go to Duan Gu and let Zhu Yuanzhang's ambush come to naught! ”

"Uh-huh. I used to follow my father to sell rice to Chang'an, in order to shorten the trip. I often take shortcuts to this path. Wang Yi nodded and explained why he knew about this path.

"So what are you waiting for. Load up and go! Ma Chao waved his hand and ordered in a deep voice, Ma Chao has always obeyed his wife's words.

The generals took orders, commanded their soldiers to find carriages from the county seat, moved the granary of Luoyang County like a gust of wind, and then lit a fire on the spot to cook, the whole army had a full meal, and the people kept silent and picked the bell, and left the Luoyang County under the leadership of Wang's father and daughter.

The night was dark. Ma Chao took the lead, and walked at the front of the team with Wang's father and daughter who served as the guide.

Qin Liangyu, Ma Yunluo, Qin Ming and others all wore helmets and armor, and walked with their tails. Ma Tie and Ma Xiu brothers led the Chinese army, and after Ma Dai carried the sword hall, this team composed of 27,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry braved the vast night, passing through the steep mountain road and heading east.

"Wang Yuanwai, Miss Zhuo Jun, for our Ma Jiajun. But it caused your whole family to leave their hometown, and Ma Chao really didn't want to go. After arriving in Koto, there will be heavy thanks! Taking advantage of the rest, Ma Chao bowed down. Thank you to the king's half-father and daughter.

"General Meng Qi has seen the outside, if you hadn't rescued me, I was afraid that I would have died under the knife of Zhao Kuangyin's bandits. What to talk about without thanks. If you want to thank the little woman, thank the general for saving her life! ”

Wang Yi smiled sweetly, took out a few apples from his baggage and gave them to the generals around Ma Chao to eat one by one. "Generals, eat an apple to moisten your throat, it's all washed."

Wang Yuanwai is also a bold person. There is no complaint about giving up the family and leaving the business: "Haha...... General Ma's words are serious, without the protection of your Ma family, I am afraid that Yongliang will be in chaos in the future. Hu Ren, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Sui, Luoyang Army, all the princes, you will sing and I will appear, and the people will suffer some sins in the future! The old man has long wanted to move to Jiangdong, where he lives in peace and prosperity, but he is afraid of the difficult road, and he should be glad to be able to accompany General Ma at this moment! ”

After a pause, Wang Yuanwai said: "The little girl is newly widowed, if General Meng Qi doesn't dislike it, how about taking the little girl as a concubine?" ”

"Then Zhao Ang went back on his word and forgot his righteousness, if he hadn't betrayed General Meng Qi, how could the people of Zhaojiazhuang suffer? Besides, we were interrupted before we finished worshipping, and the wedding didn't take place, so it doesn't count! ”

Wang Yi nibbled on the apple while refusing the widow's hat his father gave him, "How can anyone be a father who puts a widow's hat on his daughter, and you are still not my own father?" ”

Wang Yi said lightly, bold and free, without the twisting and pinching of the little woman at all, staring at the white-robed and silver-armored Ma Chao with admiration: "General Meng Qi is my life-saving benefactor, and he is also my most admired hero, if he can get the favor of the general, Zhuo Jun is naturally willing to serve with a broom!" ”

"W-That's not right, isn't it?" Qin Ming stopped doing it when he arrived, "It turns out that Miss Wang's sweetheart is Meng Qi?" It's not right, it's very inappropriate! One has just lost his father, and the other has recently lost his husband, this marriage is very inappropriate! ”

"I didn't lose my husband, my wedding with Zhao Ang didn't work, it doesn't count!" Wang Yi glared at Qin Ming and snatched the apple back from his hand in protest.

Ma Yunluo agreed with him: "I really like Sister Zhuo Jun, it's normal for a husband to have three wives and four concubines, and it's good for my brother to take me another sister-in-law!" ”

"Mmmm, my sister likes you too, and I'll give you a big one!" Wang Yihua bloomed, and picked a big and red apple from the baggage to buy the future sister-in-law.

Ma Chao hesitated and groaned.

Speaking from the heart, Wang Yi, who is resourceful, bold and free-spirited, and has a delicate appearance, is a normal man who will like it, and Ma Chao is no exception, but he is afraid of making Qin Liangyu unhappy, so he is in a dilemma.

Qin Liangyu, who had been silent, smiled: "With the king here, there is the order of his parents, who said that this marriage is inappropriate?" Although his father-in-law is newly mourned, Wang Yuanwai didn't say that he is getting married now? But for the time being, the marriage was decided first, and when he arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he asked a matchmaker to say that he gave six ceremonies, and this marriage was considered to be married to the Ming media. ”

As he spoke, he took Ma Chao's hand again, and said softly: "Husband...... Sister Zhuo Jun has helped our Ma family a lot, and now she has left her hometown, and it is difficult to return home, you can't live up to someone's wishes. The eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, and the concubine supports you to accept the Wang family as a concubine! ”

"Thank you for your understanding, my husband will live up to you in this life!" Ma Chao stroked Qin Liangyu's hair and was grateful.

Qin Ming, who was next to him, turned around sullenly and left, and went to inspect the team, "My sister has always been smart, why is she stupid at this moment?" I'm so! ”

Wang Yi's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, and he stepped forward to bow to Qin Liangyu, and shouted sweetly: "Sister, sister is polite!" ”

"On the march, don't be polite!" Qin Liangyu smiled and helped Wang Yi up, generous and calm.

Wang Yi bowed to Ma Chao again and shouted: "Husband! ”

Although Ma Chao was happy in his heart, after all, his father was newly mourned, and he couldn't show it too obviously in front of the soldiers of the three armies, smiled slightly, and held Wang Yi's slender jade hand and lifted it up: "Miss Zhuojun doesn't have to be polite, I can get your love, Ma Chao is fortunate in his third life!" ”

"Madame should be called...... Do it all over again! ”

I don't know who shouted in the laughter, there were interceptions and chasing soldiers along the way, which made the soldiers of Ma Jiajun feel pressure, and now they are finally a little happy and unlucky, and the soldiers all showed a long-lost smile.

After resting for a while, the army continued to march eastward overnight, bypassing the Dasan Pass from the territory of Luoyang County for at least 400 miles. In order to avoid the scouts of the Western Han army, Qin Liangyu suggested walking day and night, and then hurried with all his strength after avoiding Zhu Yang's ambush through the Dasan Pass, and Ma Chao happily followed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, which was 200 miles away from Ma Chao, reported the news that Ma Chao's army had captured Luoyang and was missing.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha...... I guessed that Ma Chao would go to Luoyang to rob grain, so I released a rumor that our army had set up an ambush in Duangu to lure Ma Chao to disperse. Now it seems that Ma Jiajun has been tricked! ”

Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu and other generals admired Zhu Yuanzhang's judgment, and Li Wenzhong was impressed: "I don't know how my uncle judged that Ma Chao would definitely go to Luoyang to rob grain?" Then set a trap in Luoyang, lied about the information, and released the news that our army was setting up an ambush in Duangu? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting precariously, full of ambition: "The Ma family's army is short of food and grass, and they have turned against Han Sui, and Tianshui is heavily guarded by Zhao Kuangyin, and Guangwei County has Huyanzan and Zhang Lu in charge, and it is not easy for Ma Chao to break the city." Ma Chao was in a hurry to break through, so he naturally would not forcibly attack the city, while the population of other small counties in Xinyang, Xixian, and Qingshui was not more than 10,000 people, and there was very little grain and grass in the city, which was just a drop in the bucket for Ma Jiajun, so this Luoyang was the best choice for Ma Chao to rob grain! ”

Xu Da high-fived and praised: "So Zhu Gong, you have released a rumor in Luoyang County, saying that the main force of our army has set up an ambush in Duangu to induce Ma Chao to go away." ”

"Huh...... In order to let Ma Jiajun get into my pocket, I have invested a lot of money, and the people and horses and grain and grass in Luoyang City are my bait! In order to deceive Ma Chao, even Han Yang and Zhou Bao, the two idiots, were kept in the dark, and the documents and letterheads on their desks were all news of our army's ambush in Duangu, as long as Ma Chao took Luoyang and saw these letters, how could he suspect that there was fraud in this? Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the beard at the corner of his lips, quite proud of his plan to capture and indulge in the past.

"But now that Ma Chaojun is missing, uncle, how can you be sure that Ma Chao will definitely go to the trail?" Li Wenzhong scratched his scalp, still a little skeptical.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "There are only two paths from Tianshui and Guangwei to Chang'an, Sanguan and Duangu, since Ma Chao doesn't dare to take Duangu, is it difficult to attack Sanguan?" ”

"Sanguan is entrenched, only 3,000 people can block Ma Chao, unless Ma Chao is crazy, he will forcibly attack!" Lan Yu found an opportunity to interject.

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head: "Isn't this enough, Duan Gu doesn't dare to go, he can't pass the pass, is it possible that Ma Chao wants to return to Liangzhou the same way and wait for death?" Desperate, he will naturally explore the way to the natives of Luoyang, and the mountain road north of Sanguan is Ma Chao's only choice, and it is also the place where Ma Chao is buried! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang took the case: "Okay, Ma Chao is taking the bait, and the generals will follow me to quickly go to the mountain road north of Sanguan to set up an ambush, and strive to exterminate the Ma family army in one fell swoop, let Yang Subai wait, and see that our army has made great achievements!"
