Xinping, outside the gate of Xiliang Daying, a big man stood with his hands in his hands, only to see that he was eight feet long, his body was huge, his face and nose were different, a pair of eagles and falcons looked anxiously into the distance, and saw that people were surging not far away, and the horse's hooves were like thunder, and the big man was happy, and immediately walked up to meet him.

"Meet the Lord"

When Pound saw Ma Teng striding forward, he immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Pound has lost his martial arts, and he hopes that the lord will punish him."

Ma Teng worriedly helped him up: "I have already seen the battle report, and I can't blame you entirely, it's just that you have killed all the Qiang people who went there, which has completely angered Cheriji and Yadan, last time you killed hundreds of people in Jingyang, and this time you killed thousands of people in martial arts, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to explain to them!" ”

When Pound heard this, he said with great righteousness: "My lord, those Qiang people take advantage of the chaos to burn, kill, loot, rape, and adulterate women, and they are innocent of death. ”

Ma Teng patted Pang De's shoulder and soothed: "What did you say, you have followed me to fight on the battlefield for more than ten years, won't I protect you?" If they want to kill you, I, Ma Teng, will be the first to refuse! ”

Seeing Ma Teng's earnest appearance, Pound's heart suddenly warmed, for Ma Teng's kindness, Pound was grateful from the bottom of his heart, and he was willing to go to the soup for Ma Teng, at any cost: "The lord's kindness, although Pound is full of brains, he can't repay it!" ”

Ma Teng smiled and immediately led Pang De into the Liangzhou camp together.

Seeing Ma Teng and Pang De enter the big tent, the two big men sitting in the upper left immediately got up, and pulled out the scimitars at their waists, one of them pointed at Pang De and scolded: "Pang De, last time you slaughtered hundreds of people in our troops in Jingyang, if it wasn't for General Ma's intercession for you, we would have killed you alive a long time ago, and today you are slaughtering thousands of people in my tribe in martial arts, and no one will want to save you today."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the Qiang soldiers behind them saw this, and immediately waved their knives forward, wanting to slash Pang De.

"I'll see who dares"

Ma Teng's eyes were angry, his eyebrows were upside down, and he shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Cherrigi sneered, and sneered in fluent Chinese: "What's the matter, General Ma still wants to intercede for this guy?" ”

Ma Teng glanced at Cheriji, and then said loudly: "A certain general, how can you allow Er and others to be killed, and your subordinates take advantage of the chaos to burn and kill my Han people, and they are innocent of death, and it has nothing to do with Ling Ming."

Yadan immediately stepped forward with his knife and retorted loudly: "General Ma, Cherrigi and I led our troops from Wuwei to kill Fufeng with you, there are not 10,000 Han people who died in our hands, but also seven or eight thousand, I didn't see you come out to refute at that time, besides, we have traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains, what is it to rob a little property and women, I see that you sincerely want to protect Pound."

Ma Teng waved his white robe, pointed at Yadan and scolded angrily: "So what? What do you want to do with me? If you Xiqiang didn't have my Ma Teng's protection, you would have been divided between Zhuqiang and Yaoge, and you would not allow you to wait under a certain tent to shout."

Ma Teng's angry rebuke immediately angered the two Qiang commanders, Cheriji stopped Yadan who wanted to rush up, stared at Ma Teng calmly and said: "General Ma, since you look down on us Xiqiang people, Yadan and I will naturally lead the troops to leave, I don't know if General Ma is willing or not?" ”

Ma Teng snorted coldly: "Leave by yourself, and you won't stop you." ”

Cherrigi nodded, glanced sideways at Pang De, and then pulled Yadan out of Ma Teng's Chinese army tent, and then gathered the remaining Xiqiang soldiers in the camp and galloped north.

galloped all the way, until dozens of miles out of the Liangzhou camp, the two of them ordered a slow march.

"Chief, why did you stop me from killing Ma Teng just now?"

Escaping from the Liangzhou camp, Yadan immediately asked Cheriji in Qiang, if Cheriji hadn't stopped him just now, he would have killed Ma Teng with a knife to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Hearing this, Cherrigi looked at Yadan like a fool: "Pang De's martial arts are outstanding, with him, even if there are two more you and me, we can't move a single hair of Ma Teng, besides, even if we kill Ma Teng, how can we escape from his camp?" ”

Yadan nodded, thinking about it, even if they can kill Ma Teng, they may not be able to escape from the Liangzhou camp, but if they don't kill Ma Teng, the anger in their hearts cannot be extinguished, and they immediately asked: "Is it just that?" We have thousands of warriors who have died at their hands! ”

Cheriji smiled coldly, his eyes were full of ruthlessness: "Of course we can't forget it, when we go back, we will immediately contact Yueji, Vatong, Mozasai and other Qiang leaders to rebel together and fight into Wuwei, I will make him pay a heavy price for his actions today!" ‘

Yadan immediately smiled, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth: "What the leader said is extremely true"

Cherry Ji smiled proudly, turned his head to look at the Liangzhou camp, and groaned sharply: "Ma Teng, since you bear me first, don't blame me for being unkind."

Liangzhou camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Seeing Cherrigi and Yadan leaving angrily, Pound said to Ma Teng worriedly: "Lord, Cherrigi and Yadan will definitely not give up, they will leave in anger during this time, and they will definitely make trouble."

Ma Teng frowned and sighed: "I also know, so we must rush back to Wuwei as soon as possible in case there is a change, but before that, we will first draft a report and send it to Chang'an, saying that we will obey the imperial edict and retreat to Xiliang!" ”

Pang De nodded, expressing his approval of Ma Teng's approach, and just when the two of them were worried about Xiqiang's affairs, they saw Ma Yu stepping into the big tent. The two of them were stunned for a moment, but Pang De reacted first, and immediately looked Ma Yu up and down: "Ji Wu, didn't you let Huang Zhongsheng capture?" ”

Ma Yu smiled bitterly, and even conveyed Lu Bu's words to Ma Teng word for word, Ma Teng immediately became furious when he heard this: "Who is he Lu Bu?" Dare to covet a certain Longxi"

Pound pondered for a while, and immediately put forward a different opinion: "Lord, we promise him!" ”

Ma Teng was shocked, he knew that Pang De would not be untargeted, and immediately asked: "What is Ling Ming's opinion?" ”

Pang De stroked the beard under his chin and replied: "Longxi has always been far away from Wuwei, where we want to govern, it can be said that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and the wealthy family of Longxi colludes with the Taishou, the mercenaries are self-respecting, and they do not respect the court, let alone us?" Now we have to retreat to Wuwei, why don't we sell Lu Bu's favor, and give Wuwei to him, if he can defeat Longxi, it will be his, if we can't defeat us, we won't lose anything, in this way, we can at least get rid of Lu Bu, a strong enemy."

After Ma Teng heard this, he nodded, he felt that Pang De was reasonable, and after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Ma Teng immediately ordered: "Let Li Kan withdraw from Huaili, and then lead the army to join the army, and then we will be martial." ”

Ma Yu immediately responded, and immediately stepped on the big tent, thinking that it was Ma Teng's general order.

The next day, Ma Teng's messenger arrived early in the Bingzhou camp and handed Ma Teng's letter to Lu Bu.
