Ma Teng is Cao De's sworn brother. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When Cao De and Ma Teng met, in Ma Teng's opinion, Cao De was an authentic second-generation official and worthy of hooking up. In Cao De's opinion, I don't fancy you Ma Teng, but I fancy your son Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is also one of the five tiger generals of Shu Han in Cao De's previous life, and this is still a fierce man who cut his beard and abandoned his robe to chase Cao Cao.

If Cao De didn't stutter while Ma Chao was still young, wouldn't this tough horse become someone else's thug.

As a result, Ma Teng became Cao De's brother-in-law. And Ma Teng's ability to become the governor of Wuwei County so quickly also has something to do with Cao De. Ma Teng has a righteous brother who is the Taishou of Hanzhong County, and this Taishou is still the son of the former Taishou, so I have to give this face.

There are people in the court who are good officials, and Ma Teng's help to Cao De after becoming the governor of Wuwei County is huge. As everyone knows, Cao De's earliest cavalry, the war horses ridden by Zi Mouse are basically all military horses that Ma Teng made for Cao De!

Moreover, Ma Teng's position is also an indispensable part of Cao De's grand plan. But now, Ma Teng took advantage of the emptiness of Dong Zhuo's troops in Liangzhou, and directly came to Xianyang in the west of Chang'an City with 40,000 cavalry.

Cao De didn't know about Ma Teng's arrival. Moreover, in Cao De's plan, Ma Teng was still of great use, so when Cao De went to participate in the Fifteenth Route Princes' Alliance, he didn't consider Ma Teng at all.

And Ma Teng's idea of coming to Xianyang is also correct.

Dong Zhuo basically gathered all his forces near Luoyang to fight against the 15th Route Alliance. As long as Ma Teng occupies Chang'an, and then guards Tongguan and Hangu Pass, it will cut off Dong Zhuo's way to retreat westward, and then Ma Teng can wantonly encroach on the entire Liangzhou!

However, by the time Ma Teng arrived in Xianyang, Chang'an City already had Dong Zhuo's 30,000 troops and Liu Xie, the existence of today's son. Well, it's not that simple.

The news of Ma Teng's arrival in Xianyang was first known by Li Ru and Li Dao Guo Yan, and then every once in a while, the ministers of the court also knew the news.

The undercurrent under Chang'an City has finally begun to reach the water. The residents of Chang'an City, whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, are not calm.

Ma Teng, when he first entered people's sight, appeared as an anti-thief, although he later became a county guard of the Han Dynasty, but the name of the anti-thief and robber has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, except for some more sober-minded people in Chang'an City, after getting the news of Ma Teng, the first feeling was that the robbers were coming.

As a result, some officials in the Chang'an Dynasty began to support Dong Jun in the city to resist Ma Teng, but they didn't notice that this was an opportunity to break away from Dong Zhuo's clutches.

That's not all, some of the original families in Chang'an City are even more panicked. You came from Luoyang, and you haven't gained a firm foothold in Chang'an, so pat your ass and leave. We, our roots are here. No, we have to find a way.

So, they took the initiative to find Li Ru and asked Li Ru to live and die with Chang'an, and correspondingly, they also took out the diners, dead soldiers, and family members they raised to resist Ma Teng together.

Li Ru looked at it, hey, good opportunity. I haven't gone to look for you yet, but you actually sent it to the door yourself, and it was not good to kill you, I'm really sorry that you have to understand the righteousness.

So, Li Ru began to open his mouth. Don't worry, we will guard Chang'an, but our food is not much, you see......

Oh, the money. Rest assured, we have a lot of money, and all we have left is money.

Therefore, Li Ru happily got a large sum of money, and led more than 6,000 people to find Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Li Dao and Guo Yan saw that Li Ru was coming, and they also brought a lot of money and more than 6,000 people. Li Dao and Guo Yan accepted the money with a smile, but we didn't want people. How did a rabble go to war? Others don't know, don't you Li Ru know how elite the soldiers under Ma Teng's command are. Rely on them to deliver food to Ma Teng.

Li Ru smiled, it is indeed difficult to let them fight a tough battle, but it is very easy to let them be cannon fodder.

After Li Ru pointed it out, Li Dao and Guo Yancai understood what Li Ru meant. You're too sinister.

Chang'an and Xianyang are actually not far away, only sixty or seventy miles away, if the cavalry rushes quickly, it will not take more than half a day to reach.

Therefore, Li Ru and the others' counterattack strategy is ready, just waiting for the time to come.

On the other side, Ma Teng stopped in Xianyang after learning that Chang'an was occupied by Li Dao and Guo Yan with more than 30,000 soldiers.

To the south of Xianyang is a large river, which is called Weishui. Xianyang is to the north of Weishui, while Chang'an is to the south of Weishui. That's not all, there is a moat on the west side of Chang'an, and this river is called Wetshui.

Therefore, if Ma Teng wants to attack Chang'an, he needs to cross Weishui first, and then cross the moat to touch the walls of Chang'an City.

Even though there is a large army stationed in Chang'an City now, Ma Teng is here, who will be willing if he doesn't try. Therefore, Ma Teng crossed the Weishui and came to the south bank of the Weishui and set up a large camp.

By the time Ma Teng's camp was almost finished, it was already dark. Ma Teng called Ma Play and Pang De to discuss countermeasures, and Ma Teng's soldiers had been driving for more than half a month, and they were also sleepy and tired, so they ate something hastily, and Ma Teng's camp fell into silence.

However, just as Ma Teng was busy discussing things with Ma Play and Pang De in the big tent, the straight gate of Chang'an City opened. However, it was not the regular cavalry of the Dong army that came out of the open gate, but 3,000 people like sheep.

After crossing the moat, they simply assembled and headed west.

Although their marching columns were so chaotic, they were faster than the elite infantry.

At the beginning of the day, in the east side of Ma Teng's camp, there was a dense field of weeds, and if you had found the plants shaking during the day, it was night, and it was still the middle of the night!

Gradually, many dark shadows appeared outside the outermost wooden fence of the Ma Teng camp, and then they quietly climbed over the wooden fence with their hands and feet, and then pulled out all kinds of weapons from their waists.

Six or seven men crept into a tent, and after a dozen breaths, they came out with weapons that were still bleeding. Then, they got into the next tent.

However, they didn't go far when a group of patrolling soldiers came over, "What people?" Yes! ”

The scream was like a thunderbolt from the blue, so poignant in the silence of the night. The Mateng soldiers in the nearby tent immediately opened their eyes, and then a dark figure flashed over, a sharp weapon plunged into his chest.

Still, many soldiers sounded the siren. "Enemy attack!"

Ma Teng, who had just fallen asleep for a short time, was awakened by a terrible enemy attack, and he didn't put on his battle armor, but directly carried a knife and got out of his tent.

What appeared before his eyes were the scrambled soldiers, the sound of panicked footsteps, and the stumbling shouts. (To be continued.) )
