235 Battle of Guanzhong. Xiliang Incident
From Di Dao to the post station in the middle of the Wogan Ridge, it was only a day's work at most, Ma Tengduo kept an eye on it, and at the same time sent a messenger to Jincheng Yunwu, he sent the powerful general Pang De, personally led a light horse, entered the Wogan Ridge, and investigated every valley and ravine that might hide soldiers and horses, and strived to be foolproof.
It is not an exaggeration for Ma Teng to feel so cautious, because Han Sui has a resounding nickname: the fox of Jincheng, which was first called by the Zhuhu tribe who had suffered losses in Han Sui's hands, and soon spread throughout Xiliang.
Dealing with such an old fox, and there have been life-and-death grievances in the past, Ma Teng has to be careful and careful.
In the Woganling Valley Road, everything is as usual, Ma Teng is properly arranged, ready for everything, and Zhao Wei rushed to the post station in the middle of the Woganling Valley Road one day in advance.
Han Sui came as promised, he set off from Yunwu, and after receiving Ma Teng's reply, the time was very tight, and he was dusty along the way, not as leisurely as Ma Teng.
The sun is still hanging high, in the valley of the Woganling Mountains, there are mountain peaks on both sides, although it is not so steep and steep, but it also blocks the sun tightly, it is in the valley road, it has been a little dim at this time, even the cold north wind, has eased a lot.
Ma Teng and Zhao Wei stood side by side, looking at Han Sui and his party on the other side of the valley road.
The guards brought by Han Sui, as soon as he looked at the number, Ma Teng knew that there were only three hundred, and Han Sui himself broke away from the brigade with another person and walked towards Ma Teng and Zhao Wei.
The four of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ma Teng learned that the envoy sent by Liu Yan to Jincheng was Pang Xi, whose status in Shu was on par with Zhao Wei.
It can be seen that Liu Yan is interested in this alliance. still attaches great importance to it, and the envoys sent out are not just pulling a person out casually, but full of weight.
"Brother Shoucheng, don't come to harm, right?"
After greeting each other, Han Sui waved his hand at Ma Teng, with a humble attitude and generousness, as if he had no problem with Ma Teng's daughter buying his head before.
Ma Teng haha hearty daxiao. He arched his hand and said: "The blessing of Tuo Wenyue, Ma is still very good, Ma is a vulgar person, Wenyue is worthy of being a famous man in Xizhou, and his demeanor is really the same as it was back then." ”
The two exchanged pleasantries. If Zhao Wei and Pang Xi didn't know how deep their grievances were, they would definitely think it. The two of them have a deep friendship. But at this time, it can be heard that the two of them seem to have something to say.
Zhao Yunhaha smiled and said, "Brother Wen Yue and Brother Pang came from afar, and they were tired all the way, and it was windy outside. It's better to go into the house first, and then catch up with the old days, please! ”
Ma Teng and Han Sui also had no objections, and the four of them humbled each other for a while. Zuihou still joined forces in the post station.
As for the three hundred guards brought by Ma Teng and Han Sui, they set up camps at the entrance of the valley road at both ends of the post station, and they did not interact with each other, and they were on guard.
The commander of Ma Teng's side is Pang De, and as for the one stationed in Di Dao, it is Pang De's brother Pang Rou, all of whom are children of the Pang family, and there is nothing to say about loyalty.
As for the three hundred guards brought by Han Sui, the commander was Yang Qiu, who had previously been Ma Teng's subordinate, and later defected to Han Sui, and his abilities in all aspects were very mediocre, compared to Pang De, it was far behind.
At this time, a stone in Ma Teng's heart can be regarded as a thud, with such a careful deployment, accompanied by the general Pang De, and the other party's Han Sui and Yang Qiu, the force is inferior, this meeting, there is nothing to worry about at all.
That night, despite the limited conditions, a grand feast was held to wash the dust for Han Sui and Pang Xi, who arrived later, but what was slightly embarrassing was that Ma Teng and Han Sui were still as distinct, each eating and drinking, and even what Zhao Wei and Pang Xi ate and drank was very different.
However, this small unpleasant episode did not affect the deliberations that began the next day, and the four of them were divided into three parties, and there was no dispute over the number of troops to be sent and the distribution of benefits.
It's just that Zhao Wei and Pang Xi suffered, not only to fight for the interests of their own lord Liu Yan, the king of Shu, but also to reconcile between Han Sui and Ma Teng, exhausted and miserable, but fortunately, after three full days of disputes, they finally reached an agreement, and they almost swore a blood oath.
On the day of the negotiation, the four of them couldn't wait to prepare everything, and in this humble post station, the ceremony of the blood oath began.
The blood oath is complicated, and it can make the ceremony very cumbersome and solemn; To put it simply, you can also start from the simple, for example, this time, there is nothing specially prepared, in the middle of the post hall, a desk is placed, and a large porcelain bowl is placed in the other, which holds alcohol, and next to it is a sharp knife, but other than that, there is nothing.
Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhao Wei, Pang Xi, the four of them glanced at each other, said to each other, and stepped forward simultaneously.
It was still Ma Teng who was rude, grabbed the knife first, held the sharp blade with his left hand, and pulled out the knife with his right hand, and the blood trickled out from the palm edge and fell into the wine in the porcelain bowl, like a drop of blooming blood flowers, quickly dissolved.
Then there was Han Sui, concocted as it was, and then Zhao Wei and Pang Xi, Zhao Yun was okay, Pang Xi was a scribe, when he watched the blood on his left hand slowly dripping, he turned his head sideways, he couldn't bear to look directly, his left hand was held tightly, and he was still trembling slightly.
The guards standing on the side had already prepared ointment and linen, skillfully cleaned the palms of the four people, smeared the ointment, and wrapped the linen, only Ma Teng waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be so troublesome, a small wound was just a small wound, Ma Teng had fought countless battles, and there were countless wounds on his body, and any one of them was more serious than this.
In the large porcelain bowl, the original wine can no longer be seen clearly, only a piece of bright red remains.
It was Ma Teng who was the first to make his move, stretched out his fingers, stirred in the bowl, and then picked it up, brought it to his mouth, and took a few big sips, without even frowning, and drank the bowl of blood wine.
Then Han Sui and Zhao Wei were very bold, or Pang Xi was a little difficult, frowning, his face was a little pale, and it was obvious that the smell of blood in his nose was quite unsafe, but fortunately, under the gaze of Ma Teng and the others, he finally closed his eyes, held his breath, and drank some of the blood wine in the bowl.
"Haha......"
When Pang Xi put down the wine bowl, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhao Wei, and the three of them raised their heads at the same time, and Zuihou Pang Xi also wiped his mouth and joined the ranks of daxiao, and everyone showed a relieved look on their faces.
After drinking blood wine, the next thing is the blood oath, the result of the four people's discussion in the past three days, has been written by Pang Xi himself, copied four copies, the guards carried the desk away, and brought another desk, four silk silks were laid out on the table neatly, only waiting for the four people to press the blood handprint on it, this blood oath ceremony, it was over.
After a while, Ma Teng took the silk silk covered with the bloody handprints of the four people into his arms, and when he looked up, he felt that even Han Sui, his rival, looked much more pleasing to the eye at this time.
Pang Xi arched his hand to Ma Teng and Han Sui and said: "The blood alliance has been fulfilled, and Brother Zhao and Zai will rush back to Chengdu on the same day, report to the king, and immediately send troops to join the army of the two generals." ”
"Good!" Han Sui replied, "Then I will set off early tomorrow morning, and we will start the army, and Lu Bu has three heads and six arms, and he will not be able to stop the combined army of the three of us!" ”
"Exactly!"
Ma Teng, Zhao Wei, and Pang Xi echoed in unison, and then the four of them hahadaxiao at the same time, as if they saw the rich Guanzhong, they had opened their arms in front of their army, and their hands were captured.
It was not early that day, in the humble post station, a grand feast was set up again, the four people pushed the cup and changed the lamp, you came and went, drank to a pleasant place, a jar of wine was brought in like flowing water, and then it was poured into the mouth by the four people like flowing water.
Han Sui drank to the heart, I don't know if he was a little drunk, or accidentally, he swept the lamp and candle placed next to the desk to the ground, stunned for a moment, he smiled apologetically to Ma Teng and the others: "It's not enough to drink, it's not enough to drink, come on, change the lamp and candle, and drink again!" ”
The attendant behind him immediately went out, quickly brought a lamp and candle, lit it, carefully placed it on the desk, and then bowed down again.
But no one noticed that the lamp was burning too brightly, and the smoke was so heavy that it only took a moment to turn it back on.
Ma Teng drank a lot, his eyes were already drunk, and gradually, he seemed to feel that there was a faint fragrance in the hall, and the smell was very pleasant, but his eyes were foggy little by little, and when he saw Han Sui and the others opposite, they also began to be a little trance-like.
Shaking his head a few times, Ma Teng felt better, but after a while, his eyes were still in a trance again.
Half in the bag!
This was Ma Teng's first reaction, he held the desk, staggered to his feet, the wine bowl in his hand couldn't help shaking, the wine spilled all over the table, stammered, and said vaguely: "No, no, it's not enough to drink, come, come, everyone, gentlemen, drink together, drink together......"
Before he finished speaking, Ma Teng's feet softened, the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person fell on the desk, and the cups and cups of ping pong fell to the ground.
He tried to prop up his body with both hands, but after several efforts, it was only in vain, his mind was in chaos, he couldn't figure out what was going on, it was not the first time he was drunk, how could he be so drunk?
In the compartment over there, Pang Xi was already like Ma Teng, lying on the desk, not moving, Zhao Wei was a little better, but he was similar to Ma Teng, he moved a few times, and finally he was paralyzed there.
Only Han Sui, at this time, his drunken eyes were hazy, his eyes returned to clarity, the corners of his mouth turned up, with a disdainful sneer, he looked at Ma Teng opposite coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his murderous aura was sharply revealed.
Burst!
After looking at it for a moment, Han Sui seemed to remember something, blew out the lamp and candle on the desk in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, the four attendants standing behind him immediately stepped forward and waited for his order.
"Be careful, help him, him, and him into the camp, and be careful, don't alarm others!"
Han Sui commanded very quietly, but the fierceness in his words did not decrease at all, the four attendants bowed down to listen to the order, two stepped forward and helped Ma Teng on the left and right, and the other two helped Zhao Yun and Pang Xi respectively and walked towards the exit.
At this time, Ma Teng was already unconscious, and even his body was weak and weak, and he was dragged by Han Sui's entourage, and he didn't react at all.
Han Sui continued to stay in the hall, watching the four of them step out of the door, and when their faces were proud, they suddenly heard a loud shout outside the door: "What's going on!" (To be continued......)
