MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2716 everything is just right

  Chapter 2716 Everything is just right

  In a place more than a hundred miles outside the city of Letuo, Matthew was loudly urging his subordinates to speed up. Most of his men are thieves gathered over the years and some brave men from the Western Regions, who joined the ranks of horse thieves under the lure of money.

  『Brothers work harder! After making this vote, let alone other things, each person will be rewarded fifty! There is also wine and meat to eat, for three days and three nights in a row! In addition, I will find women for my brothers, all of them are big dicks! Guaranteed to make brothers happy! Give you credit! When you have accumulated enough meritorious deeds, I will give you another sum of money, and you can sell your house and land to become rich! Good job guys! I will never treat my brothers badly! 』

   All the horse thieves gave a strange cry when they heard this.

  In the beginning, Matthew didn't have many people and money, so they were called brothers. Now that there are more people, but they are used to it, they are still called brothers. After all, when you have no money, you can only use the title of "brother" to fool you, but even if you are fooling, you have to give some sweetness, otherwise I'm afraid "brother" won't last long.

The horse thieves in the Western Regions are different from the horse thieves in the northern part of Youzhou, China. The horse thieves in the northern part of Youzhou may be ordinary herdsmen or businessmen when they get off their horses, but the horse thieves in the Western Regions are relatively "professional". It was after Fei Qian opened up the commercial roads in the Western Regions that there were more and more horse thieves.

  Because it took a lot of work to catch the horse thief. Especially during the very turbulent period of regime change in the Western Regions, eliminating horse thieves was a thankless task, so basically speaking, not many ruling classes in the Western Regions had the desire to do this.

  The same is true for Lu Bu.

At the beginning, Lu Bu wiped out a large number of horse thieves around Xihai City and Yumen Pass, but as the horse thieves retreated and fled, avoiding the route from Xihai City to Yumen Pass, Lu Bu also lost his ability to continue sweeping the vast land of the Western Regions. The power of horse thieves.

   It is really out of proportion to the input and output.

  Lu Bu kept the route from Xihai City to Yumen Pass stable, and could eliminate the horse thieves around the route regardless of the cost, but did he say that he wanted to clean up the entire Western Region...

   Later generations have all kinds of positioning and various satellite remote sensing technologies, and Eagle Sauce has been driven to death by the Aban brothers, let alone the big man who can only rely on scouts to observe with the naked eye?

With the wind and sand, all traces disappeared in minutes. Under such circumstances, unless there is accurate information to obtain the location of the horse thief's den, otherwise, as long as the horse thief cannot hide, it will be quite difficult to search. Neither could be found.

  Lu Bu didn't want to take care of it, so the road from the Guishuang territory to Xihai City basically belonged to the horse thief.

  The group led by Matthew is also considered to be a relatively famous group on this section of the road, and it is also a relatively large one.

  Matthew stood on a high place, shaking his head with some pride, and nodded to his team below. When he first pulled up this team back then, he was still somewhat uneasy, because he knew that what he promised back then were all lies, and he was always worried that his lies would be exposed, but now, he is much more confident.

   It's not that Ma Xiu has more money and can really afford it, but that he has told too many lies and is used to it.

   Is there really "retired"?

  Matthew said yes, and said that some people had gone home with money to become rich, but in fact there was none, not even some paper money to burn after death.

"head! When will you send some more money? Can I make more money this trip? I want to buy a dress! Ahh owe! ’ A horse thief shouted at Matthew Hundred Years. The clothes on his body are already quite tattered, and some places have become strips of cloth. When the cold wind blew, the clothes like rags flew up and down, revealing the body inside. In this weather, I still wear the later fashion style of single-cloth holey clothes, no wonder I sneeze.

   Matthew also cursed, "Wang Lao Liu, you **** spent money on a woman's belly again?" When I gave you money last time, you said you were going to buy clothes. Let's see how many hammers you bought! 』

  Wang Laoliu laughed, not ashamed, "Isn't it hot in summer, and it's useless to buy clothes..."

  The horse thief lives, eats, drinks, and then either gambles or whores. Many people are like Wang Laoliu. When the weather is hot, they use their clothes as a change of money, and only remember to ask for clothes when the weather is cold.

  『You bastard! ’ Matthew stretched out his hand and pulled the bundle from his horse’s back, then rummaged through it for a while, found an old robe, wrapped it around a stone on the ground, and threw it to Ma Laoliu, Take my clothes as a pawn, and see if I don't beat you to death! 』

  Ma Laoliu smirked, quickly put on his robe, and then yelled at Matthew, "Thank you for the reward!" Merciful Boss! Longevity! Ever victorious! Get rich together with everyone! 』

  The people before and after didn't know what happened, even looking at this place, there were also people joining in the fun and shouting to get rich, all in disorder.

  Matthew smiled and waved his hands.

   Pound frowned, and said in a low voice: "That guy can't bear it for two days, he will definitely go to make clothes..."

   Gamblers, perverts, and opium smokers basically make promises like farting, at most there is a smell, and everything is gone when the wind blows.

  Matthew snorted, "It's all right. I know it's just a piece of clothing. 』

  Some places in the Western Regions are very rich, but more places are very poor, so poor that they would sacrifice their lives for a piece of clothing, so getting rich is the deepest desire in everyone's heart.

But if someone has some assets, he won’t sacrifice his life for a piece of clothing. At this time, he needs more things, such as "the way of heaven", but before this so-called "way of heaven" is established, Matthew First things first...

  …┐(～)┌…

  West side of Dajin Mountain.

  More than a dozen ragged horse thieves stopped at the foot of a small hill. The leader jumped off his horse, lowered his body to the top of the hill, and lay down in the knee-high grass.

  Ma Laoliu suddenly felt itchy on his neck, just wiped it on the back of his neck, and immediately grabbed a fat louse, could not help but cursed secretly, and threw the louse into his mouth casually, with a crisp bang.

  He twisted his neck, then moved forward for a while, and looked into the distance under the cover of the grass.

  In the Gobi desert in the distance, scattered plants and trees are scattered in all directions. Among the gray and yellow colors, the few red flags are particularly obvious.

  『Han Army...』Ma Laoliu whispered to himself nonchalantly.

  Most of the horse thieves came from the Western Regions, and they were born and raised in this area. Basically, they didn't have much concept of the Han culture, or the Han Dynasty. Of course, people in the Western Regions in this era don't have any national consciousness, or any concept of loyalty. Most of them work for whoever benefits them.

  If the Han people give money, there will also be horse thieves who will go to the Han people to serve.

At the same time, as Lu Bu slacked off in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, his soldiers and generals gradually settled down. Whether it was in combat or daily drills, they were a little casual. Logically speaking, such a Han frontline camp should be dispatched by scouts. Far away, but obviously, the current camp didn't send out any scouts, or they did it but didn't do it seriously, just let it go for a while.

   Ma Laoliu retreated silently from the top of the hill.

"How about it? ’ Several people from the lower hill came up and asked.

  『They are all rotten cowards...』 Ma Laoliu said, 『According to the plan, we will go up and lure them out! 』

Several horse thieves nodded, and after a while, they came out from under the hill, fired some rockets into the camp from the outside of the camp, and then roared away without waiting for anything to happen in the camp .

The horse thieves were first discovered by a few Han cavalry around the camp, and a few shouted loudly, and then a dozen soldiers rushed out, and then someone pulled out the horse, turned over and jumped on the horse's back. , Chasing towards Ma Laoliu and the others.

  In the eyes of these outpost soldiers, these horse thieves are simply **** on the land master's face. Although it doesn't hurt much, it is extremely insulting. If you can bear it, auntie can't bear it either!

Ma Laoliu looked back and admired secretly in his heart. Even though the cavalry of the Han army were relaxed now, they were still good players on horseback. These soldiers seemed to be completely accustomed to life on horseback, and they were extremely proficient at manipulating horses. , was flattering his horse, holding a bow and raising a knife, chasing towards his side.

  Ma Laoliu whistled, and then led the crowd to turn around and shoot arrows.

The light arrow is fluttering in the wind, as long as it is not hit by chance, well, even if it is really hit, the lethality is not high, so the Han cavalry behind feel that they have been insulted, and the more angry , chasing and killing the horse thief and others.

  Because the horses and equipment of the Han people are relatively good, and the horse thieves are relatively poor in any aspect, so after running for a while, they are gradually chased closer and closer.

   Ma Laoliu gradually had sweat on his forehead. While urging the horse, he kept looking around, and suddenly his face brightened, and he put his fingers in his mouth and whistled repeatedly...

  As the outpost, the cavalry of the Han army were somewhat experienced. After hearing the movement, they subconsciously collected their horses, but it was too late.

  Maxiu rushed down from the **** on the side with his men, and directly killed these unlucky Han cavalrymen.

  Although the cavalry of the Han army turned immediately when they saw that the situation was not good, it was very difficult for a galloping horse to turn at a large angle.

Just like the Han army cavalry is suppressed in terms of equipment when facing ordinary horse thieves, Ma Xiu is also crushed in terms of skills when facing ordinary Han army cavalry. The cavalry of the Han army were killed cleanly.

  『Cut off the head! Matthew laughed loudly, and while shaking the blood on the weapon, he ordered, "Don't be in a hurry to grab things!" Go to a few more people, and draw some more Han troops out! 』

   Matthew needs to set up a signboard. What action in the Western Regions can gain prestige more easily than stepping on the Han army? Of course, if he directly attacked Xihai City and destroyed Lu Bu, it would be even more prestigious, but Matthew wasn't crazy enough, he knew who he could deal with, and who he couldn't deal with.

  After setting up an ambush again, Matthew frowned, "Why didn't the Han army come out?" 』

  Only a dozen or so cavalrymen of the Han army obviously couldn’t satisfy Ma Xiu’s appetite, and we can’t say how much meritorious service they achieved. After all, as long as a larger gang of horse thieves clashed with the Han army, more than a dozen people would be killed or injured...

  Why didn't the Han army come out?

   Lost your guts?

   Or did you see through it as an ambush?

   Or is it ready to assemble, a big one is coming?

  …(O_O)?…

   Just when Matthew was thinking about it, Chen Ada, who was at the frontline barracks, turned pale.

  『Why are there horse thieves now? Where do these guys come from? Why didn't Sentinel issue a warning? Why? 』Chen Ada jumped, using anger to cover up his guilty conscience.

  If there were enough war horses in the camp, Chen Ada would not be afraid of any small horse thieves at all.

   But the problem is that there are no war horses now...

  The horses were all "killed" just a few days ago, and now they are waiting for follow-up supplements.

  So even the daily inspection and detection are gone.

This camp is the layout left by Li Rusheng before. The front barracks exist as an important point of defense. After receiving the warning from the outpost, they will fight in a group attack mode, and 500 cavalry can solve most of them. unexpected situation.

  If five hundred cavalry cannot solve it, then one or two thousand cavalry may not be able to solve it either, and it will be passed directly to Lu Bu, and then the army behind will be dispatched to encircle, intersperse, or directly face to face...

Logically speaking, based on Li Ru's experience in the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty and his own understanding, at this stage, with this kind of point control measures, it is indeed possible to hit the key points, focus on the area, and mutually Collaborative, contextual architecture, but the problem is that no matter how good the plan is, it is executed by people.

   Once the relaxed Han army collapses mentally, no matter how good the system is, the best equipment will be useless. Anyway, no one dares to provoke the Han army in the Western Regions, right? Anyway, the Han army is the boss in the Western Regions, isn't it? Anyway, isn't it all peaceful for a while? Others are doing it anyway, so why can't I do it too?

   And now...

  『Defense the camp! "Chen Ada ordered, "Have someone go call the police to General Wei!" Request support! 』

  In the camp, a few war horses were squeezed out, and then people rushed to the rear to find Wei Xu.

  Wei Xu is counting the money, and his face is shining with the gold and silver in front of him.

what…

  Legend, bah, gold!

  Yellow orange, shiny gold!

  What's so good about the Western Regions? Even if you eat three meals a day, there will always be a layer of ash on the beef and mutton soup! Even if you take a bath every day, there is still a thick layer of mud! If you eat too much meat, you can't even **** out. If you don't have food or tea for a long time, you have to hold a round wooden stick to buckle your poop! If you don't take it out, you will die!

  Even though Wei Xu has a good reputation under Lu Bu, he still thinks that one day he will go back to the Central Plains and his hometown. So is it possible to go home empty-handed? How much do you want to bring some belongings with you? After so many years of fighting, isn't it just for these cute little shiny things?

  『General, the numbers are right! Er Gouzi nodded and bowed his head and said, "I cut several pieces myself, and they are all true!" real gold! 』

  Wei Xu hummed, but still worried, "Turn over again, pick a few more pieces from the bottom, and cut them open... These guys are crazy, don't be fooled by them." 』

  Er Gouzi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly answered, turned around and went to the box to check again.

  Wei Xu touched the gold nuggets on the table.

  The gold nugget is cold, but Wei Xu's heart is hot.

   Well, save a little more, save a little more and go home!

   After all, Lu Bu is in the limelight right now, so take this opportunity to do more...

  Go home when you have saved enough, what will be the mess left by then, hehe, anyway, I have retired as an official and that will be the next troublesome thing, and it has nothing to do with me!

  While Wei Xu was looking forward to it, there were guards and disgraced messengers who delivered the military information, rushing in from the gate of the courtyard to report and ask for an audience.

  Wei Xu's complexion changed, "You bastard! Didn't you see that I'm busy here? ! Wait a moment! 』

   Waiting for Wei Xu's confidants to quickly move the gold and other things to hide behind the screen, Wei Xu let the messenger come in a little impatiently.

  『Report to General! ”The messenger saluted and paid homage, “The Qianfeng Battalion was attacked by a large number of horse thieves! General, please send reinforcements quickly! 』

"Oh? Wei Xu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled, "Well, I see, you go down first!" 』

  『General! The messenger was also taken aback, "General..."

  『Ah, I got it, I got it, really... go on! 』Wei Xu waved his hand and asked someone to take the messenger away.

   The messenger was puzzled, but he had no choice but to go down with the guards.

  『Tsk, this Chen Ada...』Wei Xu shook his head, 『Really, he still plays this trick...Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi, come here! 』

  Er Gouzi came up in a hurry, and asked with a smile, "What is the general's order?" 』

  『What did you and that Chen Ada talk about? Wei Xu asked, "Did you find the horse thief as an excuse again?" 』

  Er Gouzi nodded.

  Wei Xu sighed, "Why don't you know how to change things?" Every day is a horse thief, this horse thief is almost as good as heaven! Forget it this time, next time, next time, I must find a new reason! And this Chen Ada, too, he was so **** careful, he still made such a move, really, this messenger sent me the general information, didn't he just cause trouble for me? 』

  He just told Lu Bu about the Longxi matter, but he didn't expect it to be so soon... um, it came true?

  Er Gouzi even claimed that it was true, but he was muttering in his heart, didn't you decide the horse thief and so on at the time, why did you blame me for this now?

   Really...

  But Er Gouzi only dared to mutter in his stomach, and did not dare to reveal half of it on the surface.

  『Tell me, now that Chen Ada reported the horse thief, what should I do now? ”Wei Xu was a little impatient, thinking that Er Gouzi didn’t handle the matter properly, “You said, if I don’t send troops in this way, wouldn’t the Zhiyin Supervisor’s side be exposed? If the troops are dispatched, the people here will go to the forward barracks, if that kid accidentally slipped his mouth...』

  Er Gouzi was also thinking about it, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "General, we have it!" General, you should follow the normal process to prepare troops and horses, don't fall into the pretext of Supervisor Zhi Yin, and then when the general is ready to go, isn't it just right that Chen Ada reports that the situation has been calmed down? Everything is just right...」

"Eh? ”Wei Xu’s eyes lit up, “That’s right, and the loss on Chen Ada’s side can also be justified?” Not bad, Er Gouzi, you are making progress! 』

  『It’s all cultivated by the general...』

   The legend is about to die...

Ugh.

   Unexpectedly, it was Gufu who persisted until the last moment.
