Chapter 105: Ma Teng is coming
Seeing that Han Sui was coming, Ma took the lead in a noisy manner, and he didn't care about his father's face, anger rose in his heart, and he looked at Han Sui coldly and said, "Mr. Xun You passed the edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven, what is the crime?" ”
Han Sui sneered: "Liu Rundong has ill intentions, intending to separate me from Shoucheng, and a clear-eyed person can know at a glance that Meng Qi's nephew is still in a dream?" ”
Xun You said on the side: "General Ma Teng is the descendant of my Han General Fubo Ma Yuan, and he has always been loyal to the imperial court. Now my emperor remembers the merits of General Fubo, and first conquers Jiaozhi, depending on one year; After going out of Yanmen, he hit the Huns several times; Although he is old, he still has the ambition of being honest and wants to calm Wuling against barbarianism. only sighed that the hero was in his twilight years, his ambition was difficult to pay, and the old general died before he could succeed in his division, which made Emperor Guangwu regret it. Feeling this, the emperor ordered me to recruit General Shoucheng in the court, in order to comfort the thoughts of longing, and secondly, to show the world, those who have contributed to the country, should make the world unforgettable. ”
When Ma Teng and his children saw Xun Yu talking about their ancestors, they all lowered their hands and listened.
Ma often listened to his father's nagging about the exploits of his ancestors, and was envious in his heart, and then listened to Xun You's narration, although it was simple, but it was more heroic than what his father said.
Ma Teng said: "It's rare that the emperor still remembers the merits of the ancestors, Ma Teng thanked him. ”
Xun You said: "The emperor once said that if you want to build a pantheon, all those who have contributed to the country will be enshrined in the ancestral hall." Sculpture of the real body, carved monument detailing the merits, in order to teach the people. Glancing at Han Sui, Xun You continued: "For those troubled places who have repeatedly opposed the imperial court, the emperor also let them enter the ancestral hall. ”
Ma Daqi asked, "Why did the emperor let such people enter the ancestral hall?" ”
Xun You said with a smile: "Tell their sinful karma, kneel on the ground, and let all the people spurn, thinking that the latecomers will quit." ”
The Ma family applauded together and said okay, Han Sui's old face turned red, he knew his own affairs, didn't Han Sui's actions in Xiliang for decades belong to the Lord who spurned all the people?
At this time, a person said angrily: "Xun Gongda is talking nonsense, disturbing the heart of my Xiliang army, please kill him at the end." ”
Xun You turned his head and saw a young man, heroic, it was Yan Xing, the general under Han Sui, and said with a smile: "General Yan's words are wrong, what Xun You said, every sentence is true, how can you say nonsense?" Could it be that General Ma Yuan's credit is all made up and fabricated? According to the history books, how can the reputation of the sages be damaged if the words are conclusive? ”
The horse's face was angry, and he pointed at Yan Xing and said, "Yan Xing'er, you dare to defile my ancestor. Come on, let me try where you got the confidence? "After that, take out the big gun, and you will fight with Yan Xing.
Yan Xing and Xun You quarreled, much tenderer, and were refuted by him in a few words. Ma Teng stopped the horse and said to Xun You: "Mr. is far away, he must not eat, come here, and set up a banquet." ”
Xun You sat on the seat and continued to Ma Teng and Han Sui: "The emperor summoned the two old generals to Beijing, and there are important matters to discuss. ”
Ma Teng asked, "I don't know what?" ”
Xun You said: "The emperor has a great plan in his chest, and the two of them have lived in the west for a long time, are familiar with geography, and are about to borrow. ”
The appetite of a large group of people was aroused by Xun You, and the horse was anxious, and said, "Sir, do you know the details?" ”
Xun You picked up the wine glass, opened his mouth to swallow a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Emperor Meng treats each other with a confidant, and you know a little bit about it." ”
Yan Xing stood up and clenched his fists and said, "I was disrespectful to Mr. before, please forgive Mr. Please also elaborate, sir. ”
Xun You said: "Since the Second Emperor Huan Ling, the Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions has gradually weakened. Outside the Western Regions, there was a large country Wusun, which bullied the 36 countries of the Western Regions, causing turmoil and blocking the tributaries of the countries. Outside the Western Regions, there are large countries such as Kangju, Guishan, and Tianzhu, which covet the prosperity of the Western Regions and want to be unfavorable to them. The emperor means to destroy Wusun, stabilize the Western Regions, and then send troops to foreign lands to open up territory for our Han Dynasty. ”
A speech made the young generals present boil with enthusiasm, for the generals, isn't the dream in their hearts to make meritorious contributions and expand the territory? Ma said loudly: "I don't know who the emperor will send as a general?" Mr. Xun has to speak for me in front of the emperor, otherwise I will rely on Mr. Xun. ”
Yan Xing is also a hot-blooded man, and when he heard this, he said, "Mr. Xun, you also have my share." ”
Han Sui's face turned green, a large group of two hundred and five, Liangzhou was stuck on the road to the west, and people were forcing Liangzhou to get out of the way, and Liangzhou, which the old man had worked so hard to manage, had to be handed over to the imperial court. Ma Teng looked at Han Sui more openly, thinking that I am a descendant of Ma Fubo, the family has a great reputation, if I am charged with disloyalty and injustice, the ancestors will be disgraced, and the family will be disgraced. Meng Qi and my son, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and wait for the arrival of the imperial army to go to the Western Regions together. ”
Ma stood up excitedly and said, "Obey my father's orders." ”
Yan Xing looked at Han Sui's old face and wanted to stand up and ask for help, but he was stunned and sat down again.
Rao is Han Sui's cunning and cunning, and he can't think of suitable words to refute Xun You, so he just cares about drinking, his eyes are rolling, and he thinks about countermeasures.
Xun You said: "In this way, please General Shoucheng pack up, and you and I will enter Beijing together." I wonder what General Han is thinking about? ”
Han Sui said with the old god: "The old man first arranged for his son to enter Beijing with Mr. Xun, and let Yan Xing guard him. The affairs of Liangzhou are complicated, and when the old man finishes dealing with them, he should go to the emperor to make a pilgrimage. ”
Xun You was already very satisfied with this trip, and said when he heard the words: "Okay, it is important to Luoyang, and I look forward to the arrival of General Han." ”
Ma squeezed his eyes at Yan Xing, which means that when he went to the Western Regions, there was nothing to do with your kid. Yan Xing felt aggrieved in his heart, Han Sui's strength was better than Ma Teng's, why did Ma Teng let Ma Teng go on the expedition, there would be no part for me. Thinking of Han Sui's kindness to him, his clenched fist slowly loosened again.
When Chenggu Yang Bai saw Yan Pu coming, he was full of joy, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chenggu has to help him, and he is solid." ”
Yan Pu said: "We all serve the master, regardless of each other. General Yang, I don't know how the battle is going? ”
"The Han army destroyed the city with huge stones, and the soldiers suffered a lot of injuries."
"Let's go and have a look at the city." Yang Bai accompanied Yan Pu to the head of the city.
When the two came to the city, they looked and saw hundreds of stone-throwing carts lined up under the city, surrounded by Han soldiers and soldiers who were having lunch. Yan Pu said, "Have you ever tried to destroy the stone throwing car? ”
Yang Bai stumbled to avoid the stones and big pits on the head of the city, came to Yan Pu's side and said: "The last general led the troops to attack several times, but the Han army had sharp weapons and had to retreat into the city. ”
"Do you know what weapons?"
"Strong bows and hard crossbows, especially the Han army has a kind of crossbow arrows, sir, please see," Yang Bai pointed to an arm-thick iron rod and said: "This crossbow arrow is extremely powerful, and the masonry is more than a foot into it." If the soldier was shot, he actually took dozens of steps in the air. ”
"So powerful?" Yan Pu's brow furrowed.
Wei Yan looked at the tattered city wall and said to Zhang Liao, "Can you burn the door and enter today?" ”
Zhang Liao was also looking at the head of the city, and said to Wei Yan: "The stone-throwing cart continues to storm the city, and the bed crossbow burns the city gate, and when the city gate is weak, the gunpowder will blow it up." ”
Wei Yan said excitedly: "I'll organize people and horses to prepare for a breakthrough." ”
When Yan Pu wanted to continue watching, Yang Bai grabbed Yan Pu and hurriedly walked down the city, Yan Pu was puzzled, Yang Bai said: "The Han army's stone throwing cart is going to attack again, and the city is extremely unsafe. ”
Before Yang Bai finished speaking, a boulder bounced down from the city, made a loud noise, and fell deep into the city. Yan Pu was intimidated by the power of the boulder, and opened his mouth for a long time before he was able to close it.
Sergeant Han saw the power of the stone throwing cart and nervously hid behind the battlements one by one. The flame of the iron arrow bearer of the bed crossbow was stuck in the city gate one by one. The sound of iron arrows striking the door in the hollow city gate reverberated back and forth, and the soldiers behind the city gate covered their ears with their hands and squatted on the ground in pain.
Zhang Liao saw the fire at the city gate and shouted: "Shoot the gunpowder bag." ”
The iron arrow hung up the gunpowder bag and roared towards the city gate, and suddenly there was a continuous violent sound, and the city gate shook a few times, and fell to the ground weakly.
Wei Yan let out a loud shout and led three thousand cavalry to rush towards the city gate.
Yang Bai didn't expect that the Han army could blow up the city gate, and when he saw this, he led a large group of men and horses to block the city gate. The regret in Yan Pu's heart, it's bad now, I just arrived in Chenggu today, and the Han army broke in, Yang Song's kid didn't know how to chew his tongue in front of Shijun? Thinking of this, he hurriedly sent soldiers to give orders, so that soldiers from other places could come over to help in the battle.
In the narrow space at the gate of the city, the two teams fought together, and Wei Yan relied on the impact of the war horse and quickly fell into the Hanzhong military formation. Zhang Liao ordered Guan Hai and Ma Feng to lead the cavalry to attack again. Looking at the guards on the head of the city, Zhang Liao ordered to go to the city.
Five thousand soldiers raised the ladder and began to approach the city wall, and the guards at the head of the city began to return fire in the rain of stones and arrows. Zhang Liao ordered the archers to shoot at close range to protect the besieging soldiers. Five thousand people began to climb along the ladder, and the Hanzhong army was anxious, and they couldn't care about much, so they risked their lives to fight back. In this way, the casualties were greatly increased, and the archers under the city were not watching and playing, and one by one sharp arrows flew quickly to the city, harvesting the lives of the soldiers in Hanzhong. Finally, a small group of people immediately went to the head of the city, the archers avoided this direction, and the soldiers of the upper city began to frantically fight with the Hanzhong guards, opening up a larger space for the robe behind it.
Seeing that the city wall was successful, Zhang Liao brandished his spear and said, "Follow me." After speaking, he ran under the city wall, and the soldiers behind him saw that the lord was ahead, and they followed. Zhang Liao went up the city along the ladder, picked up the big gun, and killed forty or fifty people in a row, so frightened that the guards in Hanzhong were all cracked, and they went to the city in embarrassment. Zhang Liao ordered loudly: "Leave two pieces of men and horses to clear the remnants of the city, and the rest will follow me to help General Wei." ”
Zhang Liao came to the city, saw a general riding on a horse to command, a tiger jumping, came to the front, swept the general off the horse, grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over the horse, the spear flew over, and killed Yang Bai.
Yang Bai saw Zhang Liao's fierceness, no less than Wei Yan, remembered his injured left arm, expected that it would be difficult to fight, commanded the guards, and surrounded Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was like a tiger entering the flock of sheep in the chaotic army, and the combat strength of the Hanzhong army was not high, how to resist Zhang Liao's fierce blow. Yang Bai knew that the city was not safe today, so he took some of his personal guards to coerce Yan Pu, fled out of the city, and ran to Nanzheng.
The main general was not there, and the morale of the Hanzhong army suddenly declined. The Hanzhong army, which had no one to command, became a plate of loose sand, and Wei Yan and Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to shout at the right time: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" The Hanzhong sergeants didn't care about Shijun's teaching, but it was important to save their lives, so they lost their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
