Chapter 202, Bai Bojun

"Ma Teng is trapped? That must be saved. After listening to Zhang Liao's report, Lu Zhan's eyes opened, and he immediately said, thinking: Ma Teng is the father of his righteous brother Ma Chao, and now he is in danger, so he must help. But I don't know who attacked Ma Teng's army?

No matter who they are, if they encounter Lu Zhan today, they have to retreat, otherwise they will be killed.

"Brother Wenhe (Jia Xuzi), what do you think about this matter?" Lu Zhan's idea was to rush to the rescue, but there was a far-sighted strategist beside him, so he asked modestly.

"If I expected, the sergeant with the white turban should be the branch of the remnants of the Yellow Turban, the White Polish Army. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion led by the Zhang Jiao brothers was suppressed by the imperial court, the main force was annihilated and the Zhang Jiao brothers died, but the remnants of the party were scattered all over the country, still recruiting troops and making waves......"

Jia Xu was a little strange that the army traveled all the way, and all the orders were issued from Lu Zhan's mouth, but Dong Xiangguo ignored it, which seemed a bit unreasonable. It's just that no matter how smart he is, he can't imagine that Dong Zhuo is not true today. However, others are very knowledgeable and can act in a different way, so they don't ask these things that shouldn't be asked. After listening to Lu Zhan's question, he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "This Baibo Army is one of them. Because it was the Yellow Turban Yu Dang Guo Tai and others who re-involted in the Baibo Valley of the West River (now Yonggu Town, Xiangfen County, Shanxi), it was called the Baibo Army. ”

"White Bo Army? Do you think it is to annihilate them, or to repel them, to surrender them? When it came to Bai Bojun, Lu Zhan seemed to be a little impressed, but he still didn't know very well, and he didn't bother to think about it at the moment, so he continued to ask.

"Now that we have an army of more than 100,000 people, it is easy to annihilate and repel them. If you want to surrender, you must capture the thief and capture the king in order to succeed. Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and replied, "In my humble opinion, it is better not to kill, because most of the soldiers of the Baibo Army are ordinary people, who are forced to revolt because of the hardships of life, heavy taxes, rampant evil officials, and the inaction of the imperial court." It is better to recruit them than to kill them. ”

"Hehe, that's exactly what I want." Lu Zhan nodded, and then gave the order, "Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Zhao Yun, the three of you will lead an army of 30,000 with me to support Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, and the rest of the men and horses will advance slowly." ”

Now Lu Zhan has four peerless schools to protect himself, and he is the first soldier to be guaranteed, so he personally leads the crowd to the battle.

It is said that when Ma Teng withdrew his troops from Hugao Pass and returned to Xiliang - when he received Cao Yingjiao's army and allied with the princes, there were 12,000 men and horses, and when he withdrew this time, there were only about 8,000 men and horses. He was originally here to fight soy sauce, and when he attacked the Tiger Prison Pass, he only sent troops to participate, and he did not mix with the generals. Because his son Ma Chao was still a hostage in Dong Zhuo's hands, he didn't dare to blatantly confront Zhuo Jun. From beginning to end, he just meant what he meant, and he didn't show much enthusiasm.

Later, the princes of all walks of life retreated to the Tiger Pass one after another, and he also led the army to retreat westward -- he realized that the Allied army, which was short of food and grass and was like a plate of scattered sand, could not capture the Tiger Pass, and it was better to withdraw as soon as possible than to be the head of the wrong.

But what he didn't expect was that when he marched all the way to the outskirts of Chang'an and headed towards the crossing of the Yellow River, he was ambushed by the Baibo army. At that time, the opponent was outnumbered, and he led his army to break out of the encirclement. But after entering the mountain, he found that the main force of the other party was waiting for him.

The Baibo army only besieged the Xiliang army in a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides, only defended but did not attack, and persuaded Ma Teng to abandon the battle and surrender.

Ma Teng's surname is Ge Strong, and he has a temper that would rather die in battle than surrender, and he did not succumb to the White Polish Army and swore to break through to the death. In just two days, seven or eight charges were launched, but none of them succeeded.

After the fourth day, Guo Tainai, who was the leader of the White Polish Army, was exhausted and gave the order to attack - all of which had been on the defensive, and a huge reward was made: if anyone captured Ma Teng alive, the reward would be 100 and 100 hectares of fertile land.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

Those soldiers who attacked the Xiliang Army were even more energetic, like taking stimulants, going forward one after another, and they all dreamed of getting this heavy reward. But the price paid was also very great, a group of soldiers in front had just fallen, and the back were surging like waves.

At this time, the Xiliang army on the huge basin surrounded by mountains formed a big pie shape, and countless soldiers surrounded their leaders in the center, they slashed their knives in their hands, and they united to resist the White Polish army that came from all directions.

In the center of the Xiliang Army, Ma Tengchong, who was burly, had a Chinese face, and had a very grim expression, and said, "Pang De, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, wait a minute, you will lead the main force of soldiers and horses to break through to the west......"

"What about the lord?" Pound, who was strong and strong-eyed, realized something and asked urgently.

"The White Wave Thieves wanted to capture me alive, so I led some of my soldiers and horses to resist their attack. You take the opportunity to get out. ”

"How's that going to work? Even if we go back, how will we live? Liang Xing, who was tall and had thick limbs, said, "Lord, you have to stay together, you have to go together." ”

"Well, we swear to follow the lord to the death." Hou Xing, who has two thick eyebrows and a big nose and a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, gritted his teeth and said.

Pang De and Liang Xing also swore and swore again.

"You ......" Ma Teng looked at their determined eyes and resolute expressions, and swallowed back the words that were about to spit out, turning his head to look at the sergeants on the periphery of his army who were fighting with the many white Polish troops who were surging like ants. They fought bloodily, but were outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties.

"If you want to stand out now, you have to wait until a miracle happens." He sighed in his heart and said to himself, "In order to reduce the casualties, I, Ma Teng, have no choice but to let go of my dignity." ”

Just when he made the difficult choice to abandon the battle and surrender to the Baibo army, on the three-meter-wide road that winds into the eastern mountains, a loud noise suddenly came: "Ma Teng hold on, reinforcements are coming!" Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, the movements of the countless soldiers of the two armies who were fighting slowed down.

When Xiliangjun heard this roar, he was stunned, and immediately his spirits were lifted, and even his strength increased a lot. Taking advantage of the opponent's distraction, the fierce hand fell and slashed at the opponent......

When Ma Teng heard the reputation, he saw a cavalry rushing out from behind the mountain on the official road a few miles away. They came in a stream, and I don't know how many people there were.

"Reinforcements are coming......" He showed a very unexpected joy on his face, and he couldn't figure out who was coming to help him, but he knew that it was time to fight back, so he turned his head to look at Pang De and Liang Xing, and said heavily, "Wait a minute, you will lead troops to cooperate with the reinforcements to counterattack, and you must be ruthless, the white knife will go in, and the red knife will come out, do you hear?" ”

"Yes, my lord." The three of them replied in loud voices.

The shout just now, which was like thunder from the sky, was the lion's roar kung fu displayed by Lu Zhan. At this moment, he was rushing ahead of the crowd in front of the horses, rushing towards the white wave army with white scarves on their heads, and scolded in his heart: "I don't care what you are the white wave army, the black wave army, the big wave army, the small wave army, and the old man who dares to bully my righteous brother just can't get along with me." Then let me bring you to your senses. He waved the Qibao knife in his hand, which was more than a foot long, and sent out a sword aura, slashing at the soldiers of the White Wave Army who were getting closer and closer to him.
