"Bang Bang"

In the silence of the night, Pang Tong was woken up by a rapid knock on the door, and the moment he opened his eyes, it was still dark all around.

"Who"

"My lord, it's me, it's a big deal, Ma Chao Ma Chao he ran away"

Pang Tongyi was taken aback when he heard the news, he was really afraid of something, he didn't say a word, immediately jumped up from the bed, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on his body, walked straight to the door, opened the door, saw the guard with a nervous face standing there, and hurriedly asked: "What the hell is going on?"

"My lord, just now, Ma Chao knocked out the two strong men who were responsible for taking care of him, and then knocked out the twenty elite soldiers who were responsible for monitoring his every move, and then fled, nowhere to be found."

"Who found out first," Pang Tong asked with concern.

"The soldiers on the night patrol passed by there, and just found someone lying on the ground, and after waking them up, they knew that Ma Chao had escaped, and then the soldiers on the night patrol went to chase after him, and he had already disappeared."

Pang Tong frowned, the most worrying thing still appeared, with Ma Chao's transcendent martial arts, even if he was caught up by the pursuers, he was not his opponent.

However, fortunately, Ma Chao is alone, no matter how powerful he is, he can't beat thousands of troops, as long as he blocks all the traffic arteries, let Ma Chao have

Pang Tong immediately gave an order and ordered people to block all roads, and Ma Chao did not ride a horse when he walked, relying only on his feet, but he was afraid that he had not left the city yet. Maybe it's not necessarily in Chengdu.

For this. Pang Tong blocked the city gates. sent an army to search the whole city, but he was busy for a whole hour, but he didn't even see Ma Chao's shadow.

Later, the commander who was still guarding the city was sharp-eyed and found a flying hook tied to a rope hanging down from the city in the northeast corner of the city wall, and then it was deduced that Ma Chao had left Chengdu.

Pang Tong was like an ant on a hot pot at this moment, sending a large army out of the city to search for him, and he personally led the army out of the city to pursue, in a vain attempt to catch up with Ma Chao. Recapture it and then imprison it.

Pang Tong led the army out of the city, and the guards in the city naturally relaxed, everyone thought that Ma Chao was outside the city, and the defenses in the city were relatively weak. But no one expected that Ma Chao just played a sloppy eye and deceived Pang Tong and others out of Chengdu City, and after the army left, he went to the stable to grab a war horse and stole a military uniform to wear on his body. Riding a war horse, he swaggered out of the city gate in a grand manner. Closely follow the line out of town.

The horse went beyond Chengdu City, first followed the army for a while, and then took advantage of the lack of attention, directly slipped away, and disappeared without a trace.

After escaping, Ma Chao did not dare to take the road, even the military uniform on his body was taken off, after running wildly for a distance, he felt that riding a horse was too much of an eyesore, and when the horse's physical strength was almost exhausted, he simply abandoned the horse, changed to walking, disguised as ordinary passers-by, took the path, and went in the direction of Zitong.

Pang Tong led the army, and he was also advancing in the direction of Zitong, he knew very well that once Ma Chao broke away from Chengdu and got rid of control, he would definitely try to return to Liangzhou, and only there would he have a foothold.

Therefore, Pang Tong drove the army to pursue along the way, and scattered the people to conduct a carpet search. They searched from night to early the next morning, but found nothing, and the soldiers were exhausted.

Pang Tong saw that the soldiers were working hard, so he ordered a short rest for some time, and he was not afraid to find Ma Chao, at least he knew where Ma Chao was going, so Pang Tong rushed to Zitong with the army after resting, preparing to set up checkpoints along the way, layer by layer of defense, and categorically could not let go of Ma Chao.

At the same time, in the bandit cottage of Daba Mountain, a general wearing armor walked swaggering inside, and walked straight into the hall, and sat in the position of the owner of the cottage in a grand manner, and the leaders of those cottages, large and small, gathered together and bowed to the general: "Subordinates see the general"

The general sitting in the position of the owner of the cottage was none other than Ma Dai.

Ma Dai looked around at everyone and said with a cold face: "These days, I thank you here on behalf of my brother for my hard work, and after bringing my brother to Liangzhou, I will definitely not forget everyone's contributions."

"Where did the second general speak, we are all General Ma's subordinates, as long as it is for General Ma, even if it is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will not hesitate to do it."

Ma Dai looked at everyone deeply, and said: "Today I went up to the cottage to inform you of one thing, these days you are enemies with the official army, dead and wounded many brothers, and when you arrive in Liangzhou, my Ma clan will definitely thank you a lot, and I hope you don't shirk at that time." In addition, I just received the news that a strange thing happened in Chengdu last night, the official army carried out a city-wide search without warning, and even Pang Tong became very nervous, in my guess, except for my brother, I really can't think of anyone who can have such a great ability to stir up the entire Chengdu City. This also shows that my brother has successfully escaped, then he will definitely go west next, now Pang Tong's attention is all on my brother, and he ignores you, as long as you get me here to make some movement again, try to drag Li Yan's army as much as possible, as long as Li Yan's army does not go to reinforcements, I have a way to get my brother out of trouble. ”

"Serve General Ma, dare not do your best, although the second general can rest assured, we will definitely complete this task, and we will definitely contain Li Yan here."

Ma Dai's eyes showed gratitude, and he bowed to everyone: "Please, everyone." ”

These bandits are not all bandits, many of them are Ma Dai's henchmen arranged in it, and they were also the ones who stirred up the entire Yizhou situation at the beginning. Its purpose is to rescue Ma Chao, who is under house arrest.

Ma Dai escorted Ma Chao to Chengdu to recuperate, who knew that he was placed under house arrest as soon as he arrived in Chengdu, and Pang Tong even ordered Ma Dai to be transferred to Bazhong, so that he could lead the army to garrison there, and arranged two armies of Li Yan and Wang Ping by his side to monitor his every move, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

And Ma Dai is not an idle person, so he secretly contacted those subordinates scattered among the bandits, let them fan the flames, and fight everywhere.

Later, the bandit army wandered to the area of Daba Mountain, Pang Tong because of the shortage of manpower, he dispatched Ma Dai, Li Yan, Wang Ping three armies to participate in the encirclement and suppression, but always the encirclement and suppression was unsuccessful, at that time Pang counted the strategy repeatedly failed, then suspected that there were ghosts in the army, but there was no real evidence, and it could not be asserted, although Ma Dai was quite suspicious, but there was no evidence, and it was over.

Later, Pang Tong simply stopped fighting, leaving Ma Dai stationed there, with Li Yan and Wang Ping on the left and Wang Ping on the right, just to closely monitor Ma Dai.

Last night, Ma Dai suddenly received a flying pigeon from the eyeliner installed in Chengdu City, and vaguely guessed that Ma Chao was out of trouble, so he secretly went to the cottage and prepared to do a big job.

The road that Ma Dai took was more secret, it was the back mountain, which happened to be behind the sight of Li Yan and Wang Ping, and how many times he walked back and forth on this road, there was no problem once, so he was not prepared today, and when he came down from the mountain, he did not notice the changes in the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, Ma Dai stepped on the air, and the whole thing sank first, and then something suddenly entangled in his foot, and he was lifted up solidly, and the whole person hung upside down in the air, and even the helmet on his head fell to the ground.

At this time, more than 20 people came out of the woods on both sides of the road, and two of them, Ma Dai, were very familiar, it was Li Yan and Wang Ping.

He looked at Li Yan, then at Wang Ping, and then at his current situation, and roughly guessed what he was, without saying a word, he let himself hang upside down in mid-air.

"General Ma, I have offended, I hope I forgive me" Li Yan walked straight to Ma Dai's side and said with his hand.

"Hmph," Ma Dai said coldly, "what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean, don't you know in your own heart, we haven't been playing games with you for a day or two, but you're calm enough to show the fox's tail until today." Wang Ping said.

Ma Dai frowned and defended: "I don't even know what you're talking about, I went up the mountain to survey the terrain and prepared to attack the bandits from the back mountain, it's good that you came, you actually arrested me, what are you trying to do, are you trying to rebel?"

"I'm afraid, it's you who rebelled, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Do you think that you colluded with these bandits and commanded the affairs of these bandits, will the prison army not know the truth, tell you the truth, your every move, the prison army is well aware, just waiting for an opportunity" Wang Ping said.

Li Yan said: "Today is exactly this time. Your subordinates have all been captured by us, and the next thing is to exterminate the bandits on the mountain, we are worried that there is no way up the mountain, and it is really thanks to you that we know that there is such a secret passage. ”

"It turns out that Pang Tong already knows everything," Ma Dai said in surprise.

"Do you think your tricks can fool the prison army," Li Yan said.

"General Li, don't talk nonsense with him, hurry up and take people up the mountain, eradicate that gang of bandits, and completely eliminate them, so that Yizhou will be stable."

"What about him," Li Yan pointed at Ma Dai.

Wang Ping said: "The prison army only let us capture him alive, but did not let us kill him, so they tied him up and sent someone to the prison army to send him down." "To be continued
