Chapter 411: The Furious Ma Chao
"General, we'll be here soon, you hold on a little longer." On the way, the young Ma Dai fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, although he had Cheng Yin's protection, he was also injured a lot, although he kept gritting his teeth and insisting, but in the end he was a little unbearable, almost fainted, and Cheng Yin, who accompanied him, was very anxious, so he kept cheering Ma Dai.
Ma Dai also knew that if he fell, the soldiers who followed him would immediately scatter and flee, and at that time there would not even be a single person to report to his brother, so he had to grit his teeth and persist no matter what.
Ma Dai struggled desperately, gritted his teeth and insisted on coming to the bottom of the city, ordering Cheng Yin to open the city gate, and then immediately fainted.
Cheng Yin had no choice but to carry Ma Dai on his back but saw Ma Chao.
"General, the big thing is not good, the next argument, the next argument is lost, the wife and the families of the soldiers have all become prisoners, the candidate is also dead, General Ma Dai is seriously injured and unconscious......"
"What? What's going on? How so? Ma Chao was about to be ambitious to witness his strength through a city defense battle, but he didn't expect to hear such bad news, and he was immediately shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
"We don't know what's going on, but we just saw the anti-thief Yang Fu in Ji County, and thousands of Qiang cavalry, it is estimated that Yang Fu, the thief, colluded with the Qiang people to sneak into Wudu from their defense area, and took advantage of our defenselessness to directly capture Xiabi City." Cheng Yin's face was full of wry smiles, he didn't know what was going on at all, he could only say his guess.
"Qiang? I really didn't expect them to be so bold and dare to rebel against me, they only have a few thousand people, and they dare to fight against my 30,000 people? Since this is the case, then I simply give up the Qiang Dao, and go back to the army directly to argue, I want to directly deter the Qiang people with strong troops, force them to apologize to me, and then turn against me and capture Yang Fu, the villain, I want to cut out his heart and abdomen, crush his bones and ashes, in order to repay the hatred of Ji County last time! ”
When Ma Chao said this, he immediately ordered the army to retreat, leaving only a thousand people to plant flags all over the place, bluffing, and deceiving Zhang Ji, and the rest of the people all followed him to attack and argue, but because his brother Ma Dai was seriously injured and had no way to follow, Ma Chao had to entrust his henchmen to take Ma Dai secretly to the countryside to recuperate, and then find a way to meet him after the injury was healed.
Ma Chao immediately led the army to retreat quietly after arranging everything, and the soldiers of the whole army were actually a little flustered at this time, after all, the base camp was occupied, and their families were there, but even so, their movements were orderly, and they were all carried out quietly, which shows that Ma Chao still has a relatively high prestige in front of these soldiers under his command, and the soldiers are also more afraid of his military law.
Ma Chao led his soldiers to rush overnight, and came to the city of Xia Bian early the next morning, and he shouted at the city: "Who dares to attack my city? Why don't you take me Ma Chao in your eyes so much? If it is too late to confess your sins, you should know what the consequences will be. ”
At this time, I saw a Qiang general beside Yang Teng whispering to him: "Patriarch, what should I do?" This Ma Chao has brought so many people, and Ma Chao alone has the might of a lion and a tiger, we can't be his opponent at all. ”
Yang Teng's confidence is actually a little shaken, he himself is not afraid of death, but he knows that once he fails, it will bring ruin to his clan, this Ma Chao has always been ruthless, offended him, and his clansmen must be the earliest to the most cruel revenge.
However, Yang Teng is not a stupid person, he can't make a rash choice before he sees the situation clearly, but whispered: "Wait and talk about it, although Ma Chao is aggressive, but the Han army is not a vegetarian, they have also gathered a large number of troops in Longxi, even if Ma Chao can recapture the next defense, it is difficult to say whether he can hold it, and I think this Yang Fu is also a character, I don't know how he will deal with Ma Chao?" Wouldn't it be foolish for us to make such a rash choice if we could remain undefeated? ”
At this moment, I saw Yang Fu standing at the head of the city and said to Ma Chao: "Ma Mengqi, let's meet again, didn't you expect it?" Your nest was captured so easily, you even lost your nest, and you are still here to be angry? I really convinced you, I can be so calm, but it's useless, I can tell you, now your woman is still in my hands, but you don't even care about your father and younger siblings, how can you take care of your own woman? It's a pity that she followed you around, and now she is pregnant with your flesh and blood, and you treat her like this. ”
Then Yang Fu said loudly: "Brothers under the city, I used to be Ma Chao's general like you, so I know his personality better, when his father Spur Shi was killed, he cried and begged Pei Gong, asking to lead troops to avenge his father." and swore allegiance to Pei Gong, Pei Gong allowed him to come to Yongzhou, but what did he do after he arrived in Yongzhou? Although he successfully recaptured Yongzhou and avenged his father, but revenge was not what he thought at all, the spurs were not cold, and he was always only concerned about the power in his hands, have you ever seen him solemnly pay tribute to the history of spurs? Even the burial of the spurs was hastily carried out, when he came, in order to win the trust of Pei Gong, he left his younger brothers and sisters in Chang'an as hostages, his rebellion was simply disregarding the lives of his younger brothers and sisters, and now his wife is in the city, he is still ready to lead the army to attack regardless of his wife's life, this is his nature, only care about himself, regardless of others, he doesn't even care about the lives of his younger siblings, mother and pregnant wife, how can he take care of you? ”
When many soldiers heard this, they immediately talked about it, and they didn't know until then that Ma Chao had sworn allegiance to Pei Gong in order to be able to come back, but he had never said such a thing, and he boasted that he had escaped.
Yang Fu saw that the soldiers began to speak, and knew that their belief in Ma Chao had begun to waver, so he waited for the voice of the discussion to be quiet, and then said loudly again: "So brothers, don't work for him, this cold-natured person is not worthy of your allegiance at all, Pei Gong is benevolent and righteous in the four seas, the people under his command are living and working in peace and contentment, and the soldiers are willing to fight, there is no other reason, the main thing is that Pei Gong treats people with sincerity and governs benevolently, and now your family members are looking forward to reuniting with you in the city, you might as well lay down your arms, Reunite with them, Pei Gong has already made it clear, this time I only ask the first evil Ma Chao, and I don't ask about it, this is a good opportunity for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you must not miss it. ”
"You, you! How did I swear allegiance to Pei Qing? I am just loyal to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is the co-lord of the world, I still know this, Pei Qing is just a courtier, how can I make others loyal to him? You dare to despise the Son of Heaven, and your sins are unforgivable! ”
After finishing speaking, Ma Chao took the bow and arrow from his back, and pointed an arrow at Yang Fu, only to hear how the feather arrow shot at Yang Fu like lightning, everyone couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time they all looked at Yang Fu with a nervous face, and some even closed their eyes, not daring to look any further, because almost everyone thought that this time Yang Fu was likely to be killed by Ma Chao's sneak attack, and couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for Yang Fu.
