Chapter 55: Urgency
Chapter 55 Urgent
"Brother Shoucheng, are you okay?" Cao Zhang escorted Ma Teng into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Cao Cao stood on the steps in high spirits.
Ma Teng smacked fiercely, "Cao thief Hugh is going to be rampant, the old man will not let go of your old dog even if he turns into a ghost." Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, who were tied up by the tiger guard, struggled hard, and scolded Cao Cao as an old dog.
Cao Cao's eyes widened, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he was about to wave his hand to dispose of Ma Teng's father and son. To extinguish Cao Cao's monstrous anger, he had to divide the five horses of Ma Teng's father and son. Cao Shuang hurriedly motioned to Qi Fei to lead people forward and restrain Ma Teng's father and son, "Prime Minister must not be angry, it will not be beneficial to the body." ”
As Cao Cao's son, Cao Zhang knew very well that Cao Cao's appearance was already burning with anger, and the thumb of his right hand on the hilt of the sword had gently pushed the sword out. "Ma Teng's old thief is useful, and I hope that my grandfather will not bother with them." Cao Shuang approached Cao Cao and whispered, Cao Cao looked at Cao Shuang, his face improved slightly, "Let's take them down first." ”
"No!" Qi Fei and other unscrupulous people took over Ma Teng's father and son in the hands of the Tiger Guard soldiers, and quickly escorted them back to the black prison of the bad mansion to be strictly guarded.
"Wen Ruo, out of the list of Anmin. Those who have meritorious deeds will be rewarded according to their merits in the future, and the bad government will continue to investigate Ma Teng's affairs. Cao Cao arranged for everyone, patted his swollen temples and walked towards the backyard, "You have also been busy all night, go back and have a good rest." ”
Cao Shuang yawned, exchanged a few words with Xun Yu and the others, and then went back to sleep. As for tracking down Ma Teng's rebellion, it was handed over to Qi Fei. After Huang Kui heard that Ma Teng's father and son had been arrested, he sat on the seat weakly and looked ahead in distraction. A large number of bad people surrounded Huangkui Mansion, and the subordinates in Huangfu seemed to have blown up. The trees fell and scattered, and the people under them competed for valuable items in the house, preparing to flee for their lives. But as soon as the door opened, they were dumbfounded, and the cold light of the crossbow bolts was pointed at them.
"Father! Father! Ma Chao, dressed in white, was covered with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, panting and waking up from his dream. Hearing Ma Chao's shout in the room, a big man broke in, "Young General, are you okay?" This big man has a full face and knotted muscles, as if he is about to break through the armor, this person is the fierce general Pound under Ma Teng's tent.
"It's okay, it's okay." Ma Chao wiped the sweat from his face, and at this time, a man dressed in cloth rushed in, "Big brother, it's all over, it's all over." ”
Ma Chao looked at it and recognized that the person in front of him was Ma Dai who went to Xuchang with his father Ma Teng. Ma Chao chuckled in his heart and secretly screamed that it was not good. Pang De hurriedly stepped forward to help Ma Dai up, "You say slowly, what's going on?" ”
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, he was captured by Cao Jun, and his life and death are unknown." Ma Dai said with a crying voice, "If I hadn't escaped by pretending to be a businessman, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen my eldest brother at this time." ”
When he learned that his father's life and death were unknown, Ma Chao's was like a powder keg, and it exploded with a bang. Overnight, Ma Chao summoned the three armies and raised troops to attack Cao Cao. That night, Han Sui came with his generals to stop Ma Chao, "Virtuous nephew, it's really unwise to be an enemy of Cao Cao at this time." ”
"My father's life and death are unknown, did you make me wait here?" Ma Chao's eyes narrowed, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and he retorted to Han Sui.
Han Sui looked at the cold and shining silver spear in Ma Chao's hand, and swallowed the words in the back alive. Ma Chao is a powerful Liangzhou, known as General Shenweitian by the Qiang people, and his old bones are not Ma Chao's opponents, so he no longer speaks. Before Ma Chao left, he left a message, "Uncle, this is a good time for us to enter the Central Plains, and when my nephew takes Chang'an, I am afraid that my uncle will not be able to keep up with my nephew." "Ma Chao's meaning is very clear, you Han Sui can come if you want, and you won't even be able to drink the broth when you don't come.
"Arrogance!" Han Sui looked at Ma Chao who was going away, his face full of sneers.
In the next few days, Zhong Miao continued to appear from Chang'an, Ma Chao led the troops to rebel, and all the counties around Chang'an City had fallen into the hands of Ma Chao's Xiliang army, and Chang'an City was in danger. Cao Shuang was temporarily in charge of the bad people in Xuchang to hunt down the so-called "anti-thieves" related to Ma Teng, Huang Kui was naturally ordered to be killed by Cao Cao, and the three clans were razed, as for Miao Ze, who whistleblower and exposed his brother-in-law, he was also ordered to be killed by Cao Cao. When Cao Shuang was busy sorting out his confession, a conscription order from the Prime Minister's Mansion made Cao Shuang dumbfounded. Chang'an was in an emergency, and Cao Cao was ready to lead the army to support, so that Cao Shuang would go with the army.
Looking at the conscription order in front of him, Cao Shuang was actually a hundred unwilling in his heart. Going with Cao Cao seems to be a favor in the eyes of others, but Cao Shuang understands that Cao Cao's expedition this time is a life of nine deaths, and he was beaten by Ma Chao to cut off his robe and beard, which is very embarrassing. Cao Shuang didn't have a good brother like Cao Hong, but Cao Cao's recruitment made him dare not disobey. Sima Yi is so powerful, isn't he still recruited by Cao Cao.
"Husband, can't you ask your grandfather to take back your life, after all, Shuang'er is still young." Before Zhang fell asleep, he begged Cao Zhen, who was sweating profusely, to lie next to him.
Cao Zhen, who was still indulging in wonderful feelings, immediately changed his face when he heard this, "You long-haired and short-sighted woman, what do you know?" This is the father cultivating Shuang'er, and others don't want this kind of opportunity. ”
Seeing that Cao Zhen was angry, Zhang didn't dare to persuade anymore, although she was a hundred unwilling to let her son go to the battlefield, but she didn't dare to disobey her husband. Looking at her husband's scars, Zhang's heart was full of worry.
In the west city of Chang'an, Zhong Xuan and Xu Kun, the general of Chang'an, checked the situation of Xiliang Ma Chao on the city tower together. Outside the west city of Chang'an, stretching for dozens of miles, the black pressure is all Ma Chaojun's tent. Pound led 5,000 people outside the city to shout and curse, many soldiers took off their armor and sat on the ground to rest, and some even urinated and pouted their butts towards Chang'an City to show contempt. Xu Kun, the guard general of Chang'an, asked Zhong Xuan, "You will order the last general to go and fight him." ”
Zhong Miao smiled slightly, "Do you think you are the opponent of Pang De under the city?" Kansai Pound is not much worse than Ma Chaojin. ”
Although Xu Kun, the defender of Chang'an, has also fought on the battlefield for many years, his level is also a third-rate general, and fighting with a famous general like Pang De will only become a whetstone. After Zhong Xuan finished speaking, Xu Kun stood behind Zhong Xuan with a red face and stopped talking, obviously knowing his catties.
"Without the old man's order, no one is allowed to go out of the city to face the battle. Violators will be dealt with by military law, and there will be no mercy for killing. Zhong Xuan left this sentence, left Xicheng, returned to the mansion, and wrote to inform the counties around Luoyang to gather troops to Tongguan. Zhong Xuan knew that even if Chang'an City was strong, it wouldn't last long.
Tents stretched for dozens of miles outside the city, as well as grain and grass that was continuously transported into the barracks, obviously Ma Chao brought no less than 40,000 people this time. After Zhong Miao sent the letter out, he faced Xu Chang and muttered, "Prime Minister, if your reinforcements can't arrive in time." I'm afraid you'll only see one scorched city. ”
