The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 553 Recovering Dunhuang
After talking about the recent situation of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, we are focusing on Xiliang. Last year, Li Yuanhao was defeated by Ma Teng.
Coupled with the fact that there is a powerful enemy Ma Teng in the south, Cao Cao is eyeing him next to him, and the enthusiasm of the Han people, Li Jiqian temporarily shelved his plan to invade the south.

Li Yuanhao was naturally very unconvinced, but due to political pressure within Xixia, Li Yuanhao had to compromise.

Although Xixia has stabilized, a war broke out in Liangzhou, and this war started with the support of all Xixia people!
That's right, the people of Xiliang went forward and joined the Ma's army enthusiastically, because this time Ma Teng sent troops to take back the Dunhuang County occupied by the Pan Luozhi Tibetans.

Dunhuang County stretches from Yumen Pass to the west and Jiuquan County to the east. The place where Dunhuang was governed did not change its name until later generations, which is very rare in China. This place is an important passage on the Silk Road from the west to the Western Regions. After Yumen Pass, it is the boundary of the Western Regions that is now the Liao Kingdom.

Pan Luozhi took a fancy to this, so he used Han Sui to take down Dunhuang County, and the owner of the Silk Road entrance could get a lot of taxes!
At this time, after Dunhuang County was taken by Pan Luozhi, he attached great importance to sending generals Qing Yijie Guizhang, Li Lizun, Wen Buqi, Xin Mouqin, Xibawen, Xixuluosa and other generals to garrison here.

Ma Teng sent his son Ma Chao as his commander, and led Pang De, Wang Shuang, Luan, Hande, Ma Dai, and Ma Xiu to set off from Jincheng County and arrive at Dunhuang through Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan.

The two sides soon faced each other in two battles, and both sides were cavalry. Such a purposeful encounter has almost no technical content.

Ma Chao and his horse are currently followed by Pound, Mi Sheng, Wang Shuang, Ma Dai and others to form the cavalry into a cone shape.

"￥&!"

Qing Yijie Guizhang spoke in an incomprehensible Tibetan language, which probably meant to shoot arrows, and he ordered to shoot when he was within a hundred miles away. There is still a gap between the ethnic groups who grew up in the past.

A round of shooting caused Ma Chao's army to lose hundreds of men. They fell off their horses and were trampled to pieces by the Xiliang cavalry behind them.

"Prepare the javelins! Shoot!" Ma Chao shot himself, and thousands of javelins flew out of the Xiliang formation, and the Tubo soldiers who were hit fell to the ground one after another, and they were also trampled into flesh.

After testing each other with long-range weapons, the two armies penetrated each other at high horse speeds.

Ma Chao is naturally the arrowhead of Xiliang iron cavalry, while Qing Yijie Guizhang is the arrowhead of Tubo, and Ma Chao was almost sent to the west by Ma Chao.

Qing Yijie Guizhang's name is very impressive, it feels like he was on the wrong set, a character who came from the next door to the list of gods.

However, this person was a real person in history. He was a rare general in the Xisiluo regime. He was full of scheming, but bravery was not his strong point. This person used tricks to kill Jing Sili, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty.

So when Qing Yi's sword with the ghost chapter intersected with Ma Chao's five-hook divine flying silver spear, Ma Chao gained the upper hand with the first move and pulled back the silver spear in his hand.

With a sound of "poof", a big cut was made on Qing Yijie Guizhang's cheek, if the hook goes down three inches to the neck, this person will ascend to heaven on the spot.

In the first confrontation, Qing Yijie Guizhang knew that Ma Chao was powerful, and he really lived up to his reputation, so he didn't dare to kill him carelessly.

The Xiliang army and the Tubo army fought for several hours, and the casualties on both sides were not small, and the Tubo army began to lose their hold!
Because the quality of the Tubo generals was far inferior to that of the Xiliang army, four generals were killed by Xiliang generals in one battle.

Wen Buqi was beheaded by Pound, Xin Moqin was smashed to death by Wang Shuang's meteor hammer, and Xibawen and Xixuluoza were killed by anyone in the rebellion army.

As the Tubo generals were killed, the Tubo army's command was chaotic, and Ma Chao took the opportunity to charge with his own soldiers and finally repelled the Tubo people.

The unfavorable battle situation made Qing Yijie Guizhang quickly send someone to ask Pan Luozhi for reinforcements, and at the same time fight and retreat to Dunhuang.

If Pan Luozhi did not send reinforcements to Dunhuang, then Qing Yijie Guizhang would have a reason to abandon this place.

He, Qing Yijie Guizhang, has a large amount of territory in the Qiang region, so there is no need to work hard for a new occupation.

The current Pan Luozhi regime is a bit like a federal system, or like the small princes system in Xiliang before.

Before the unification of Gusiluo, each general had his own land, cattle and sheep.

Under the premise of obeying the leader, it is to preserve his own power as much as possible. Ma Teng obviously wants to take back Dunhuang resolutely, and the loss here is too much to be worth the loss!
Although Pan Luozhi gave Qing Yijie Guizhang huge benefits and allowed this relatively strong Tubo tribe to station here, but no matter how huge the benefits are, they have to live to enjoy them, right?

In this way, Ma Chao and Qing Yi formed a ghost seal and fought intermittently. The latter lost more than he won, and even when they arrived at Dunhuang, there was not even a single Tibetan reinforcement.

Qing Yijie Guizhang resolutely chose to abandon Dunhuang, returned to Qiang, and asked Pan Luozhi for an explanation.

After conquering Dunhuang and driving away the Tubo people, the reputation of Ma Jiajun increased. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao and others discovered Cheng Gongying who was detained by the Tubo people in Dunhuang County!

It turned out that Cheng Gongying protected Han Sui and planned to go to the Qiang region to make a comeback by leveraging Han Sui's reputation in the Qiang region. However, his condition became more and more serious along the way to North Korea.

The vicinity of Dunhuang fell into a coma again, and Cheng Gongying could only risk taking Han Sui to sneak into Dunhuang to find a doctor.

It's a pity that the sky is as expected, Cheng Gongying, Han Sui and others were discovered by Qing Yijie Guizhang because of the relatively large motorcade.

For Han Sui, Qing Yi's knot with ghosts doesn't matter life or death at all, it's just a tool that is discarded after being used.

However, Qing Yijie Guizhang still respects Cheng Gongying very much. The former's resourcefulness has also been spread in Qiang, Di, and Xiliang and has great prestige, so Qing Yijie Guizhang hopes that Cheng Gongying can work for him.

But the result was obvious. Cheng Gongying was false and submissive, and asked Qing Yi to form a ghost seal to let Han Sui heal him.

But for some reason, it is possible that the Tubo people believed in the Mongol doctor, and Han Sui's illness became more and more serious as he was cured. In the end, the Mongol doctor spread his arms and said that he had nothing to do.

A few days later, Han Sui passed away, and Cheng Gongying was very sad. How could Cheng Gongying not see Qingyi's trick of making ghosts?

Use Qingyi to tie ghost chapters to deal with Han Sui's death in advance, and then Cheng Gongying used the dragging formula.

Therefore, using Wan Qingyi to marry Gui Zhang Chenggong, he was unmoved by his recruitment. If it was Pan Luozhi and Zuo Siluo, he might also be a courtesy corporal.

But Qingyi knots a ghost chapter?forget it!
It didn't take long for this person to lose patience and put Cheng Gongying under house arrest, but after all, Cheng Gongying has a lot of prestige and dare not neglect.

For Cheng Gongying, a pot of tea and a book are also a source of leisure.

Until Ma Chao entered Dunhuang, Matthew heard that Cheng Gongying was shocked here, and hurriedly let someone lead the way to see that Cheng Gongying was really happy.

"Mr. Cheng! I didn't expect to see you here!"

"Has General Zhengxi recovered Dunhuang County? Congratulations!"
