341. Send the flag
Thirteen days after the rebellion of Xiliang Ma Chao, the Sizhou reinforcements led by Jia Xu, Che Xiao, Ma Teng and others finally arrived in Ji County and joined forces with Sanfu Taishou and others. △¢,
It was only then that Jia Xu had to understand most of the truth about the rebellion in Warrior County that day.
Ma Chao and the others have already plundered various places, but there are not many rebels left in Hanyang County, Liangzhou needs to be taken care of, and Sanfu must not be left unmanaged. On the day that the whole army was rectified in Ji County, Jia Xu sent Du Ji and Deng Zhi back to Chang'an to take care of the three auxiliary government affairs, appease the people, and send materials to help, and by the way, also brought back the ashes of the soldiers under the general Yin Feng; Stay in Weikang and Zhao Ang to lead the people sent by Sanfu to guard Ji County; His own family led nearly 7,000 soldiers with Ma Teng, the general of the Han Zhengxi, the general Che Xiao of Sizhou, the general Guo Yuan, the captain Yan Xing, and the recruit, and went to Wuwei to recruit Ma Chao.
Three days later, Jia Xu and other warriors crossed the Yellow River.
Jia Xu and the others marched not fast, but Ma Chao had to report to Sizhou reinforcements to his father Ma Teng as the main general, it was really unexpected, so angry that his eyes were full of stars, but the word "filial piety" in this era was too heavy, no matter how rebellious he was, he did not dare to carry the name of killing his father and start a war with his father, so he could only quickly report to Han Sui, and ordered to recruit Pang De, Yang Qiu and other rebels who were raiders from all over the country, Gu Zangcheng no longer cared, and his own troops moved to Jincheng County first.
Han Sui was attacking Longxi, and he got a super urgent report, and he retreated and returned to Jincheng's lair.
Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two righteous brothers, are also old enemies for many years, and they don't worry about the two battles, but when Ma Teng arrives, it will not be strange for Ma Chao to do anything. At this time, Han Sui also had to guard against Ma Chao's rebellion, and did not dare to make his army go deep into Jincheng County, so he only ordered his troops to stay in the county to wait for help.
Han Sui was afraid that Ma Teng would re-recruit Ma Chao. Ma Chao's deception when he rebelled. At this time, it is even more necessary to guard against Pang De and Yang Qiu's backlash!
Pound is a diehard henchman. Needless to say; After the warrior uprising, Ma Chao took the elite under Yang Qiu's command, and then suppressed more, how could Yang Qiu have no complaints?
Sizhou beat the banner of the old master of the two to quell the rebellion, will these two still go to the dark with him Ma Mengqi?
Ma Chao would never have thought that after the incident in his own family, Deng Ji not only offended the Ma family, but also came to conquer his family in the name of his father. This time, it is a poisonous plan that is difficult to solve.
The Sizhou military horses have not yet crossed the river, and Ma Chao has been in a hurry to block the news.
When the troops were ordered to live in the county, Pang De and Yang Qiu also returned, thinking that if they wanted not to suffer from the two of them, the only way to strike first was to make it easier for the knife and axe men to ambush in the tent and recruit Pang De and Yang Qiu to discuss matters.
It's just that they didn't join forces before, and Pang De and Yang Qiu's subordinates also had their own scouts and ears, and they knew the truth when they returned.
Yang Qiu has few people. When Ma Chao's envoy beckoned, he led hundreds of people to escape from the city.
Pound was not angry. After killing the envoy, he suddenly attacked, and more than 2,000 elites under his personal commander's tent went to attack Ma Chaozhong's army.
Lingju County is small, and the 30,000 or 40,000 rebels stationed in the city, belonging to more than 30 heroic generals, are already chaotic, and when Pang De breaks out, there are many panicked people in various departments!
When a chaotic battle ended, Pang De did not make any merit to kill Ma Chao, and when he withdrew from Lingju with hatred, nearly 10,000 people were killed and fled in the chaos.
At this time, Jia Xu, Ma Teng and other rebel army forwards were still seventy or eighty miles away from the county seat of Lingju.
Ma Chao and others rebelled against Warrior County, Yang Qiu wavered at the critical moment, but then the elite soldiers under his command were taken away, and there was not much evil when attacking the counties.
The Sizhou reinforcements under the banner of Ma Teng are actually led by Jia Xu, and Yang Qiu is of little use, although this person wavered at a critical time, followed by a rebellion, and came to ask for guilt and surrender after the rebellion, not to be gullible, but his life and death should also be decided by Deng Ji, the lord.
Therefore, Jia Xu imprisoned Yang Qiu in the army and prepared to send him back to Luoyang for disposal, but he had not yet sent someone to escort him to Qixing, and after a night, Pang De also led 3,000 rebels to surrender.
He was able to accommodate more rebels in the chaos than he had in the overtime of attacking horses.
When Jia Xu got the report, he went out of the big tent with Ma Teng, Che Huang, Yan Xing and others, Pang De had ordered his sergeants to abandon their weapons, and he rode alone to the Sizhou army to ask for a meeting.
Pang De did not tie himself up like Yang Qiu, but he rode into the account alone, and his whole body was defenseless.
Pang De was calm on the road, waiting to meet, ignoring others, and knelt down at Ma Teng, who was supported by Ma Dai: "A certain person is not a traitor, but he can't see it, and he is deceived by the nonsense of others, so that he makes this big mistake!" ”
After speaking, he bowed to the ground three times.
Ma Tengying burst into tears, he, the nominal general, had no authority at all, but he didn't know how to save the life of his henchman who had followed him for many years. Unlike the family members of sinners like his own, the warriors rose up, and then attacked the counties, and Pang De contributed a lot, how could Sizhou spare him?
Pang De bowed to Bimateng, got up and bowed his hand to Jia Xu: "Wenhe Gong is a famous man in this state, and he should be able to sympathize with Liangzhou's many disasters, and he is thousands of miles away. Although there are many rebels in the city, most of them are coerced and deceived, and with the system of Sizhou, the amount will not be killed! ”
He also pointed to his own subordinates in the distance outside the camp: "This generation is also innocent, if he can be forgiven and not guilty, will he dare to die in the future?" ”
In the end, Pound said: "Please give me a knife and axe!" ”
From beginning to end, Pound's face was very calm, and Jia Xu listened quietly to what he said one by one, and then asked: "Why don't you ask for forgiveness of the sins of your brother, wife, and son?" ”
Pang Defang smiled miserably: "Pang Lingming's crime is great, and now he will atone for his sins with death, if the old and young are forgiven, it will show Deng Gongren; If you can't live, it's also clear that the law is clear, so why worry? ”
Jia Xu nodded, and then began to bow his head and groan.
No one knew what Jia Xu was thinking, he hadn't said a word for a long time, no one dared to disturb, Ma Teng wanted to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.
Pang De waited impatiently, he had already had a will to die before he came, and the rest didn't want to think about it, seeing that Jia Xu had been silent for a long time, his eyes began to aim at the equipment held by the Sizhou Black Iron Guard, wanting to take one of them and kill himself.
Pang De was ready to make a move, and Jia Xu spoke: "If you want to make Liangzhou less troubled, don't put down this chaos too quickly, I have a plan, and I need to borrow the power of Ling Ming." It's just that you have to make meritorious contributions, and it is difficult to protect the Lord for forgiveness of the previous sins afterwards! ”
After a slight pause, Jia Xu said again: "The lord is the lord of mercy, and the guilty are rarely implicated, no matter what the step is, the family and the young, I will do my best to protect it!" ”
――
A day later, the Sizhou army finally drove outside Lingju County.
Half a day earlier than the Sizhou army, Han Sui had also led nearly 50,000 troops to this place, but he didn't dare to enter the city easily, so he stationed troops outside the city.
The Sizhou army was very surprised, and before it had settled down the camp, two horses galloped out of the army, and then two horses.
The two horses in front of them were white and brown, but they both carried a big banner on their shoulders, but the flag was wrapped up, and the contents of it could not be seen.
The two behind rode very slowly, and one of them took the reins for the latter in front and walked slowly.
Knowing that the Sizhou military horses had arrived, Han Sui, who had troops stationed outside the city, also went to the camp to watch.
On the city wall, Ma Chao is also there.
Look clearly at the general flag of "General Han Zhengxi", and figure out who the person represented by this banner is, there are already countless rebels in a sleepwalking state above and below the city, and at this time, with the two horsemen in front of them, there are sharp-eyed exclaimants: "General White Horse!" General Yang Qiu! ”
Pang Dexi rode a white horse, and everyone he knew called him General White Horse.
When they saw the appearance of the two riders behind them, the people they knew couldn't even exclaim.
The one who led the horse behind was Ma Dai, and the one who was dying old was Ma Teng.
In the city, the turmoil caused by the Pang De Department has just passed, and there will definitely be verbal humiliation at this time, and his father Ma Teng is behind him, and Ma Chao will not even have the slightest chance to fight back.
At this time, Ma Chao only had a cold face, did not glance at Ma Teng and Ma Dai, beckoned a group of archers, and ordered them to bend their bows and aim at the two in front of them.
"Ma Mengqi!"
Pang De and Yang Qiu stood eighty steps away from the city wall, and planted the two flags with a "grab" sound, and Pang De opened his mouth and shouted at the city wall.
Ma Teng and Ma Dai stopped twenty steps behind Pang De and Yang Qiu, and stopped moving.
Ma Chao didn't want to pay attention to it, the distance of eighty steps was a little far for ordinary archers, so there were occasional arrows that could be shot, and the strength had also weakened, and it was easy for Pang De and Yang Qiu, who had experienced a hundred battles, to avoid it, so he didn't order the arrows to be released.
It's just that Ma Chao didn't talk, but Pang De didn't let go, and he was lucky with Dantian, and shouted for the second time: "Ma Mengqi!" ”
Ma Chao's face was cold, but he was actually upset, and he wanted to avoid the city wall, but Pang De roared out again for the third time: "Ma Mengqi!" ”
Except for Pound's voice after another, there was an eerie silence above and below the city wall, and there was no other noise. And with the shouts outside the city, Ma Chao looked left and right with a lot of contempt in his eyes.
Where is Ma Chao's temperament stimulated? At this point, it is impossible to really recognize father and son again, and finally shouted angrily on the city tower: "Pang Lingming! My father has suffered Chang'an! Deng Ji pretended to be a looker, and sent troops to Liangzhou in the name of his father, but he wanted to reduce the morale of our army! How dare you go so far as to be traitors seeking glory? Left and right, shoot with me! ”
Under Ma Chao's order, only thirty or forty arrows were sparsely shot out of the hundred archers recruited, and they were all weak.
"Hahaha!" Pound looked up to the sky and laughed, but the laughter was full of pathos.
Ma Teng and Ma Dai sat on the back of the horse with expressionless faces, without saying a word, and did not glance at the city wall.
Yang Qiu grabbed his horse and shot down two arrows that shot in front of Pound.
"Ma Mengqi!" After laughing, Pound yelled again: "You can also be described as a hero in the world!" A certain Zhiru also: Cunning selfish desires, traitors and betrayals can be called 'loyalty'! I hope that my biological father will die quickly, and I will be willing to enmity Kou's fake son to be called 'filial piety'! Slaughtering the people and plundering the Quartet is called 'benevolence'! Trapping the clan to death, lying and harming friends deserves 'righteousness'! From today onwards, the world should praise Jun as 'loyalty and filial piety, benevolence and righteousness'! Hahaha! ”
Pound finished laughing for the last few times, and shouted harder: "A certain is ordered to send this flag to you!" ”
After speaking, he lifted the flag planted on the ground, waved it twice in the air, and when the flag was completely shaken open, he "grabbed" the flagpole back into the ground with a "grabbing" sound.
The rebels in the city and the city all opened their eyes wide, and the flag was written with the eight characters of "loyalty and filial piety, benevolence and righteousness"!
Yang Qiu also shouted: "So is it! ”
Like Pound, he unfolded the flag he brought, and on it were the four big characters "I know the shame of honesty". (To be continued......)
