Chapter 210, General Mobilization of Military and Civilians

After hearing the news that Taishou Ma Teng led the army back, the soldiers guarding the Pavilion Pass rushed to tell each other, all of them were enthusiastic and their confidence was greatly increased: Ma Taishou and General Han pressed the battle at the same time, and no matter how many Xiongnu soldiers and horses there were, they did not want to break through the Pavilion Pass. On the contrary, they must lose their troops and suffer defeat, so that they will restrain their aggression and obediently retreat......

It seems that as soon as Ma Teng came back, it lit up in their hearts like a torch, driving away the cold - the cold weather and the many Hun soldiers and horses outside the gate made them feel a chill, warmed their bodies, heated the blood of their whole bodies, and their fighting spirit surged invisibly, and their morale soared rapidly in their hearts.

For these changes, Ma Teng, who went to the Taishou Mansion to discuss major matters with Han Sui as soon as he returned, did not notice them.

At this time, in the lobby of Fuchu, the heated ale wine exudes a faint aroma. After Ma Teng and Han Sui had three bowls first, he said "happy", and then told him the plan that Lu Zhan had told him before crossing the river:

"In order to reduce casualties, and at the same time give the Huns an unforgettable lesson. Although we outnumbered them this time, we didn't need to go head-to-head with them. As long as a trap is set up in the pass, let Guo Tai, the leader of the Baibo army, open the gate and lure the Xiongnu into the pass. Then we closed the gate again, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded and beat tens of thousands of Hun troops, so as to close the door and beat the dogs, killing them without leaving a piece of armor. Good to vent evil spirits. His damn Huns, not keeping their duties well, always thinking about plundering the fertile land of our Han Dynasty, the hard-working people, and countless rare treasures, should be beaten! ”

"Shoucheng (Ma Tengzi), your words have reached my heart. It's just that Mrs. Guo was ambushing you one moment ago, and she will help us the next moment? Han Sui's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still had some concerns.

"Big brother, to be honest, in fact, I don't believe Mrs. Guo very much, but Nephew Lu Xian has decided so, so I will believe him - when the time comes, he will definitely have a way."

"Yes, after all, he commanded an army of more than 100,000. When the time comes, divide Mrs. Guo's army and make his decrees incomprehensible, and he will not be able to make any waves. In addition, it is still a wise choice for him to cooperate with Lu Zhan, and he should not be stupid to hit a stone with an egg, and then he will help the Huns. I bet that if he helped the Xiongnu defeat the Pavilion Pass, the Xiongnu would definitely turn their faces and deny people......" Han Sui pondered for a while and said, "In addition, Shoucheng, with Dong Zhuo here, how could he Lu Zhan command the Liangzhou soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Dong Zhuo?" ”

"This, I heard Chao'er say." Ma Teng put down his wine glass, looked around at no one around, leaned forward, moved closer to Han Sui, and said in a low voice, "Actually, Dong Zhuo is dead, this Dong Zhuo is someone Lu Zhan found someone to pretend, and he is very similar, it can almost be fake." Also, the emperor has named Lu Xian's nephew as the pastor of Liangzhou, and let him rule the entire Liangzhou. ”

"That's what Chao'er told you?" Han Sui was shocked and said for a long time.

"Well, Chao'er recognized a good big brother. Like me, hehe......"

After discussing the entire plan against the enemy with Han Sui, Ma Teng went to visit his wife and children - he and his wife Liu had three sons: Ma Chao, Ma Tie, and Ma Xiu, and one daughter: Ma Yunlu, Ma Dai was the son of his younger brother Ma Yue, who died early, and he also regarded it as his own and stayed by his side.

When he came to the back hall, he saw that the family was there, talking and laughing, and he was happy, and his heart was warm and loving.

"Dad, are you here? You have to be the master for me, and my eldest brother bullied me as soon as he came back. As soon as Ma Teng stepped through the door, a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a delicate appearance walked over angrily and complained.

"Okay, Dad is the master of Yunlu. Then tell me about his crimes. Ma Teng looked at her and smiled mildly - this daughter is too cute, in the future, she must find a man who can stand up to the sky and the earth as her husband, otherwise, then I will be wronged by my daughter who is both civil and military?

"Hmph, big brother pinched my nose and ears. Dad, you see, it's all red. You pinch his nose and ears, too. Ma Yunlu pouted, but his eyes were on Ma Chao, who was laughing with Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai's three younger brothers in the room.

"Haha, this, let's write it down for now. All right? Ma Teng reached out and touched her hair, and walked towards his wife Liu.

"I knew my dad would say that." Ma Yunlu said with a look on his face that he already knew this, looked at Ma Chao and said, "Big brother, if you admit your mistake to me, I'll tell you where Sister Ah Lu and Brother Xue Yong are, okay?" ”

"Sister Lu? I forgot about them. Tell me, sister, where are they? Ma Chao listened, patted his head, and shouted.

"Then you confess your mistake to me. Otherwise, I won't tell you. Ma Yunlu shook his head and said proudly.

"This ......"

"Big brother, sister won't take you there, we'll take you." Ma Tie, who was half a foot shorter than Ma Chao, suddenly grimaced at Ma Yunlu and laughed.

"Okay, you lead the way." Ma Chao said with a smile.

Hula.

Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai ran quickly towards the door. Ma Chao followed behind, and when he passed by Ma Yunlu's side, he said softly: "Sister, when you see Sister Ah Lu, you can pinch your brother's nose and ears." You can't let your three younger brothers know, though, okay? The body floated by like a gust of wind.

"Good!" Ma Yunlu replied quickly, and also turned to follow.

Suddenly, the originally lively back hall became quiet. Ma Teng slowly walked to Liu's side and said warmly: "Neiko, in the month I was away, it was difficult for you." ”

"Husband, it's good for you to come back. It's just that now outside the Xiongnu Chen Bing Pass, do you and Brother Han have a way to deal with it? Liu looked at him and smiled gently.

"Yes, of course." Ma Teng gently shook her hand and rubbed.

……

Under the order of Taishou, the plan against the enemy was quickly implemented: first, strengthen the defense to prevent the Huns from sneaking attack; Second, to order all the people living in Zephyr to temporarily leave Zephyr with food and clothing for several days, so as to make room for battle, so as not to hurt the innocent; 3. Build some protective facilities and dig some traps in the wide area between Zephyr City and Pavilion Pass; Fourth, prepare a large number of bows, arrows, spears and other weapons that can attack from a distance; Wait a minute.

Because, now the initiative is in the hands of Ma Teng, he has plenty of time to prepare - and the Xiongnu outside the pass are naturally in the dark, and they do not know that the White Polish Army, which was originally going to cooperate with them, has defected at this time.

When two days later, when Lü Zhan led an army of more than 100,000 people to Zephyr City one after another, half of the people in the city had left.

While letting the soldiers set up camp and not disturb the people or steal things, they took Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Guo Tai and others to talk to Ma Teng comprehensively, and at the same time visited the Pavilion Pass to familiarize themselves with the environment.
