Chapter 262: Ma Teng retreats

There have been Xiliang's spies outside the city, monitoring the movement in the direction of the city, and when they saw the city, they killed hundreds of men and women at once, and after killing, they also threw the corpses from the city wall, and the blood stained the water of the moat red.

The spies didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to the camp to report to Ma Teng and Han Sui: "General Qiyu, something is wrong, Chang'an City is killing people at the moment. ”

Hearing the spies' report, Ma Teng and Han Sui both stood up abruptly and asked nervously, "Can you see clearly who you killed?" ”

The spy shook his head first, then nodded, and said, "Although the little ones don't know who was killed, there are both men and women. After killing, the corpse capital was thrown directly from the city wall......"

After the spies finished speaking, Ma Teng looked at Han Sui and said cautiously: "Wen Yue, who do you think Li Guo and the other thieves killed?" ”

"Needless to say," Han Sui said disdainfully: "It must be the ministers of the DPRK and China who cannot be attached to them, and Li Guo and other thieves are killing chickens and monkeys to deter the ministers." ”

Ma Teng has always felt unsteady in his heart since he listened to the spies' report, and he then asked: "Wenyue, in your opinion, could it be Ma Yu and Ma Shizhong?" ”

"Probably not." Han Sui said in an uncertain tone: "We just got in touch with Ma Shizhong last night, and today they were beheaded by Li Dao and Guo Yan, which is too much of a coincidence." ”

"No, my heart is not steady, I want to go out and have a look." Ma Teng said, took two steps forward, and said loudly outside the tent: "Come, prepare a horse for me, I will go outside the city to see it myself." ”

"Father, slow down." Ma Chao, who was standing on the side, saw that his father was going to check outside Chang'an City, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "It's a trivial matter, why do you need your father to go out in person, wait for the child to go and find out!" ”

Ma Chao took five hundred Xiliang cavalry to a place a stone's throw away from the city and carefully observed the mountains of corpses piled up outside the city wall. Just as he was thinking about how to figure out who had been killed, he suddenly heard a shout from the direction of the city. The cavalry who followed Ma Chao thought that the soldiers and horses in the city were going to rush out, and they were ready for battle.

But after waiting for a while, only shouts were heard in the direction of the city, but there was no movement. A cavalryman with a sharp ear said to Ma Chao: "Major General Qiyu, let you come close on the city wall and say that you have something to say." ”

The young and vigorous Ma Chao, after listening to the words of the cavalry, wanted to go over as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, but was stopped by the military marquis next to him. The military marquis persuaded hard: "Major General, there may be fraud ahead, so let the little one bring someone over to have a look." ”

"What are you afraid of!" Ma Chao glared at the military marquis, and said dissatisfiedly: "Even if they have any conspiracy, the young master can kill a few people with this silver gun in his hand." ”

Seeing that Ma Chao was angry, the military marquis didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only lead people to follow him and gallop towards the city gate. He thought to himself that if we arrived at the city and the defenders in the city suddenly came out, even if we fought for our own lives, we would have to protect the young general from danger.

But fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, Fan Chou stood on top of the city tower and shouted at Ma Chao under the city: "Hey, Ma family children, Ma Yu, Liu Fan, Chong Shao and others who made internal responses for you have all been ambushed." Go back and tell your dad that if you don't quit the army, they will be your fate! ”

Ma Teng hadn't had time to tell Ma Chao about what Ma Yu and others were doing, so when Ma Chao heard Fan Chou say this, he thought that the other party was telling him. Zhang Ji in the city saw that Ma Chao and the others looked disappreciative, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take the heads of Ma Yu and the others. Then he shouted at Ma Chao: "Ma Xiao'er, I'm afraid your father won't believe us, so we'll let you bring a few vouchers back." ”

After speaking, Zhang Jichong shouted to a few soldiers next to him who were carrying the head: "Throw the head out." With Zhang Ji's order, several soldiers ran towards the outside of the city.

Ma Chao saw that something bulging was flying down from the city, and he still thought that the defenders had thrown a stone, so he hurriedly waved the silver gun in his hand to dial. The heads of Ma Yu and the others fell three or four miles away from Ma Chao, and they rolled on the ground gurgling. A Dubo, who had followed Ma Teng into Beijing and had seen Ma Yu and others, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to carefully check the head, nodded at Ma Chao, and said, "Young General, that's right, it is indeed the head of the three of them in the horse attendant." ”

Ma Chao's purpose here is to find out who the person killed by Li Guo and others is. At this moment, since he knew that it was Ma Shizhong who was killed, there was no need to stay here, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "Pick up the head, and we will return to the camp immediately." ”

After Ma Teng saw the three heads that Ma Chao put in front of him, he couldn't help but stomp his feet again and again, and he said angrily: "I just discussed the opening of the city with them last night, but I didn't expect that in less than a day, the three of them were beheaded by Li Guo and other thieves. ”

"Shoucheng," Han Sui saw that Nei Ying in the city had been killed, and his attempt to sneak into Chang'an by taking advantage of the night had been shattered, so he could only ask Ma Teng, "What should we do next?" ”

"We came from Xiliang, did we go back like this?" Ma Teng stared at the three heads in front of him, gritted his back molars and said, "I will definitely break through Chang'an, kill Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others, and avenge them in Ma Shizhong." ”

"But our army came from afar, and there were not enough siege equipment, and I was powerless in the face of a strong city like Chang'an." Han Sui felt that even if he carried out a strong attack, it would be almost impossible to take Chang'an City, so he continued to persuade: "Moreover, the current grain and grass of our army is only enough for one month, in my opinion, it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible." ”

"No, we must not withdraw our troops." After Ma Chao heard Han Sui's proposal, he immediately objected: "Once we withdraw our troops, Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses will definitely chase and kill, and before we retreat to Xiliang, most of the soldiers and horses under our command will be scattered." In my opinion, let's attack the city. ”

"Wen Yue has a saying that is very true." Fortunately, Ma Teng did not immediately order the siege of the city, but said to Ma Chao: "We don't have siege equipment now, and it may not be easy to capture Chang'an." My son can lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to the vicinity to cut down wood and make siege equipment. It's not too late for us to wait five days before attacking Chang'an. ”

Not to mention that Ma Chao led his troops to cut down trees and make siege equipment. At this moment in the city, Guo Yan and Li Dao are quarreling: "Childish, although Ma Yu, Liu Fan, Chong Shao and others colluded with Ma Teng, intending to open the city gate and let the Xiliang soldiers enter the city. But you shouldn't have killed all three of them, young and old. To do so is against the peace of heaven, and sooner or later you will be punished. ”

Who knew that after Li Wei heard this, he sneered a few times: "Did you and I kill the people I killed on the battlefield?" So far, I haven't seen any retribution. Okay, you don't have to say it, the person has already been killed anyway, and even if you want to regret it, it's too late. You immediately take people to patrol the city, and if you find anyone who colludes with Ma Teng, regardless of his official position, he will be beheaded all over the house. ”

"General Guo," Seeing that Li Dao and Guo Yan might argue at any time, Jia Xu came out in time to play a round: "The reason why General Li wants to behead the three people is not to set an example, lest there be more officials who are not afraid of death and continue to collude with outsiders, intending to be unfavorable to General Li......"

"Mr. Jia," Li Wei interrupted Jia Xu's words without warning, looked up at him and asked, "How are the two people from Jizhou doing now?" ”

"Back to the general, they are still staying in the post house." Jia Xu only asked Li Dao about Xu Shu and Shi Tao, who were sent by Han Zhan to ask for civil and military officials, and hurriedly replied: "My subordinates have sent people to surround the post house and completely cut off their contact with the outside world. ”

"What are you afraid of!" Ma Chao glared at the military marquis, and said dissatisfiedly: "Even if they have any conspiracy, the young master can kill a few people with this silver gun in his hand." ”
