【Chapter 029】
As soon as Ma Teng fell from his horse, the expressions of Han Sui, Ma Chao and others suddenly changed with horror.
"Rescue General Ma Teng quickly!"
Seeing the rain of arrows from the city tower about to shoot towards Ma Teng again, Ma Chao and others did not dare to delay any more, and led their troops to surge up, knocking the thousand people who had climbed up first into disrepair.
Chen Chen rushed directly to Ma Teng who was covered in blood. He grabbed his arm and clamped Ma Teng directly under his arm. At this moment, a wave of arrows also came. Ma Chao waved a spear in one hand and held Ma Teng in the other.
Teng kept kicking his horse, turned back, and roared:
"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!"
Upon hearing the order, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops, who were surrounded by darkness, turned around and retreated. If Han Sui hadn't been commanding them, I'm afraid this retreat would have caused chaos!
Even so, when a threatening cry of killing suddenly sounded on top of the city tower, a large number of soldiers panicked and trampled to the death of countless people.
Ma Chao was also among the crowd, rushing left and right. Seeing that he was about to approach Han Sui, a scout named Juechen came over and shouted:
"General, it's a disaster! It's a disaster!"
Han Sui and Ma Chao turned around almost in awe and blurted out: "What's the matter?"
"Wuzhaohou sent a message to the people of the world by flying pigeons, saying that the two generals, as officials of the imperial court, had rashly raised troops to attack other counties, which was a treasonous and unethical thing. Now Wuzhaohou has raised 30,000 troops according to the imperial decree.
, to punish the disobedient thieves!
As for Shangjun, the Northern Governor has already responded to Wu Zhaohou. Although he has not raised any troops to assist, he has opened the city gate and is waiting for Wu Zhaohou to lead his troops through!" The scout almost said it in one breath, and as soon as he finished speaking, he came directly from the city gate.
The horse fell headlong.
However, Han Sui, Ma Chao and others did not pay attention to the scout, but looked extremely ugly.
Han Sui looked up to the sky with a ferocious expression and roared: "You have a very deep plan to hold the emperor in order to command the princes, Yun Ye!" As soon as he finished speaking, Han Sui whipped his horsewhip and roared:
"Retreat ten miles and set up camp!"
...
The next day, in Ma Teng's handsome tent.
Han Sui, Ma Chao, Yan Zhong, Ma Wan and others were all inside the tent, but everyone had a heavy look on their face.
After the doctor's rescue, Ma Teng was fine. However, at this moment, Ma Teng, who was lying on the bed and wrapped like a rice dumpling, faintly woke up. When he woke up, he saw Han Sui and others sitting in the tent.
People couldn't help but sigh and said:
"In a moment of anger, I almost lost my life!"
Seeing Ma Teng wake up, Han Sui, Ma Chao and others were overjoyed and were about to come over, but suddenly heard Ma Teng's sigh and couldn't help but stopped in place. In the end, Han Sui seemed to have lost all his strength and lay back down again.
After finishing the case, he angrily said: "You still know what will happen if you defeat the general in a moment of anger. Don't you still know? You are really so ignorant?!"
When Ma Teng heard this, he did not refute. He thought for a moment and asked in a quiet voice: "Is there any movement from Marquis Wu Zhao?!"
Ma Teng didn't ask how Tongguan was doing. Looking at the camp, he knew that Tongguan was impossible to break. Since it had not been broken, why bother mentioning it?!
When Ma Teng asked, Han Sui also sounded a little panicked: "Alas! Marquis Wu Zhao is probably going to go to Fufeng on the right! Now the prefects of Shangjun and North have already opened the city gates!"
The governors of Shangjun and Beidi are not Wu Zhaohou's men. Ma Teng knows this!
When Ma Teng heard this, he didn't ask any questions. He just held on to the bed and gradually leaned up. He breathed and sighed: "Is it possible that Marquis Wu Zhao is planning to build a plank road openly and secretly cross Chencang?"
"It's unlikely. If so, it's impossible for an army of tens of thousands to hide from our scouts!" Han Sui shook his head, got up and walked to the bed, supporting Ma Teng to prevent him from falling.
"If this is the case..." Ma Teng did not brush off Han Sui's kindness and gasped, "I'm afraid Wu Zhaohou fought well and defeated the Fufeng defenders with thunderous momentum, and then forced us to withdraw our troops and come back to help, surround Wei and rescue Zhao.
His idea! However, his idea was wrong! I, Ma Teng, am not someone to be trifled with!"
As he said that, Ma Teng showed a deep chill on his face and looked at Han Sui: "Brother Han, please send a few people back and prepare 30,000 soldiers and horses for defense!"
When Han Sui heard this, he did not refute. He nodded and said, "My dear brother, there is no need to worry about this. I will send troops back immediately."
"Also, there are many Qiang people in Fufeng, Wuwei, Jincheng, Longxi and other counties. If Wu Zhaohou raises a large number to attack, they may not be able to fight together and be defeated by Wu Zhaohou one by one. In this case, it will not only be Youfufeng."
It may fall, Liangzhou may also fall." Ma Teng said in a very heavy voice: "On the other hand, if the Qiang people can be summoned to resist, then Wu Zhaohou will not be afraid!"
Han Sui heard this and said: "My brother also knows about this. Yesterday he sent people to the counties in Liangzhou to summon the Qiang people to resist!"
After Ma Teng finished speaking, his face became a bit pale. He suppressed his tiredness and said, "That's great! The Qiang people are xenophobic. It took us several years to make good friends with them and live in peace with them. If Marquis Wu Zhao suddenly attacks,
, will surely make all the Qiang tribes unite as one, and Marquis Wu Zhao will not be afraid!"
Seeing Ma Teng's tired look, Han Sui stood up unconsciously and said: "My dear brother is not recovered yet, please rest in peace. I will go out first for my brother's sake. Say goodbye!"
"Farewell!" Han Sui said goodbye, and other people in the tent naturally stood up and said goodbye.
Ma Teng also responded tiredly: "Sorry for your concern!"
...
A few days later, in a mansion in Yanmen County and Sangqian County.
Yun Ye leaned back on a chair, picked up the teacup that was placed on the table in front of him, and asked Guo Jiadao who was sitting beside him: "So, Han Sui and Ma Teng don't have any signs of withdrawing their troops?
!”
"Yes, we stationed troops ten miles away from Tongguan and disturbed Tongguan from time to time!"
"Ma Teng and Han Sui are so confident that they dare to ignore You Fufeng!" Yun Ye took a sip of tea and said with emotion:
"As a prince, I wouldn't dare to let others invade my territory easily!"
Guo Jia nodded noncommittally and said: "That's it for Han Sui. The Qiang people are xenophobic. If the lord sends troops easily, it will be a big trouble! It's just You Fufeng. I don't know where Ma Teng got his confidence!"
"My lord made a mistake in this matter. Ma Teng raised an army, but it was only 30,000. The total number of soldiers and horses under his command was about 60,000, excluding You Fufeng's remaining 30,000. Not long ago, there was news that Ma Teng
, Han Sui and his two men mobilized 20,000 troops and returned to Youfufeng.
, 50,000 soldiers and horses, plus Youfufeng is not far from Longxi. In Longxi County, the Xianling Qiang, Niaowu Qiang, Fengyang Qiang, Lejie Qiang and other Qiang tribes are all distributed in Longxi, and their number will not be small.
You can raise troops to help Ma Teng at any time, and Ma Teng is naturally not afraid of the Lord!"
The slightly fat Jia Xu could be said to have taken the initiative to speak for the first time. His small eyes were as cunning as those of a mouse.
Jia Xu's words made Yun Ye look up at Jia Xu unconsciously, and suddenly he smiled half-heartedly and asked: "Well, what should Wen He do if he feels lonely?! It's hard to deal with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses!"
"My lord, why do you need to attack by force?!" Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"What do you mean by Wen He?" Guo Jia couldn't help but look at Jia Xu.
"I didn't expect it. It's just the first step, but I'm still a little sure!" Jia Xu said and said slowly:
"First go to Chiyang to attack Xinping. There is a river between Chiyang and Xinping. The river is wide and shallow. The lord can use this to use the advantage of night to cross the sea and lure the Xinping defenders out of the city to cross the river to attack.
Then, the lord took advantage of the situation and led his army to cover up the attack and annihilated the Xinping defenders in one fell swoop. I thought, Xinping only has five thousand guards. As long as the lord does not give him any chance to wait for reinforcements, he should be able to capture him?!"
