Marcy's voice was heavy, and he said, "The caravan returning from Chengdu has received news that the king was attacked by a group of black-clothed men on the way back, and all the brothers in the clan were killed in battle, and the king's life and death were decided."

When Maisi heard Marcy's words, her face turned pale, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and her delicate body trembled, and she froze for a long time before she came to her senses, and muttered, "This...... How so?"

Marcy sighed, gritted her teeth, and said, "According to rumors, someone slandered the king in Zitong and wanted to send assassins to assassinate Liu Chan, so he was suspected by the Shu army, and some brothers were arrested and tortured......

After Mei Si finally heard this, he was sad and angry, and said, "My father is loyal to Shu Han, and he will be slandered like this, how can it be justified!" Marcy hurriedly persuaded and said, "The princess is angry! I heard that Xiqiang paid tribute year after year, and there were good horses to offer, but we ...... Therefore, some people wanted to ask the king for horses, but our own war horses were not enough, so the king did not agree, so those people held a grudge and wanted to find and frame the king, and this matter still needs to be followed

Long-term ......"

"Think long-term? My father's life and death are unknown, but I am afraid that there will be more and less luck, and Mei Si will ask those people for an explanation to avenge her father!" Mei Si was furious and ran out with her pink fist in hand.

"Meisi, Meisi, don't be impulsive......" Marcy was taken aback and hurriedly chased after her, "This matter needs to be ...... in the clan"

But at this time, Mei Si had gone away, and he had already heard his voice, and the sad and angry expression on Marcy's face disappeared in an instant, and a sneer appeared on her wrinkled face like a knife cut, and she turned around and entered the room with her hands behind her back.

In the inner room, there was still someone eavesdropping on his conversation with Meisi, this man with narrow eyes, a deep face, and a full smile on the corner of his mouth, it was the master of the horse.

When he came to the inner hall, Marcy bowed down and clasped his fists, and said, "Mei Si is angry, and she will definitely be ping-pong with mediocrity, and Marcy has lit this fire for Sima Gong's wife......"

Master Sima nodded and smiled, and said, "Lord Marcy, if this matter is successful, your father's side will definitely show your majesty, and you have made great contributions, not only the Dangxiang clan, but also the entire Qiang tribe in the future, will be handed over to you to manage."

Marcy was overjoyed, busy, and said, "I am willing to serve General Sima!" "But I don't know what happened to the old fellow Mosesna?"

The master said lightly, "Don't worry, we have our own arrangements, and he will never come back."

Marcy finally put her mind at ease, ordered a banquet to be set up, and entertained the stead, and when the arrangements were ready, a henchman came to tell her that Meisi had mobilized 25,000 men from her headquarters to leave Dazhai and go east.

Marcy ordered the man to stand down, laughed at the master of the horse, and said, "What a plan! That girl really started pingping."

The master raised his glass and smiled, and said, "Mei Si is out of the table tennis this time, no matter whether he wins or loses, there will be no threat to you, and when the war is over, I will immediately report to the court, and reward you for your eternal life, let's drink this cup first!"

Marcy hurriedly stood up, his glass in both hands, and slammed it on it, and a smug laugh came from the inner room.

******

Huo Ge and Zhang Qi escorted grain and grass, from Hanzhong Road to Shangyong, and there were no accidents, but the man in black in Yangpingguan is difficult to guess, but this matter is handled by others, and there is no need for those people to worry about it.

This day was in the military camp to watch the training of table tennis, just before those people arrived, Meng Da led the reinforcements to Nanyang, and only the new table tennis and three thousand defenders were left in Shangyong City, and they still needed to strengthen training.

While watching the battle, suddenly a hurried bell rang from the government office, which was an alarm for emergency assembly in wartime, and it was strictly forbidden to use it in peacetime, otherwise it would be punished by military law.

Zhang Qi was taken aback and said, "Shangyong is our army's territory before and after, why would the alarm be issued?"

Huo Ge had already walked to the palace, "There must be military information, go and take a look."

The two of them hurried to the palace, only to see that the Chinese military attachés in the city were also rushing one after another, all full of doubts, obviously not understanding what was happening, some even wore civilian clothes, and even Deng Zhi, who paid attention to appearance, only wore a plain robe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now that the Qiang people of Daba Mountain suddenly attacked Xicheng, Xicheng Taishou sent people to ask for help."

"Bashan Qiang - Xiang is in harmony with me, how can he suddenly start ping?" —The faces of the famous officials changed suddenly, and the distance between the western city and Shangyong was only two hundred miles, which was less than a day's journey, and once it was breached, the consequences were unimaginable. Deng Zhi also frowned, and said, "Because of this, Xicheng has never left a large army to garrison, only two thousand garrisons, and now the army has been transferred to Nanyang, and there are no generals and no ping pong in the city, what should I do?"

------------

453 First time with table tennis

Huo Ge stepped forward and asked, "May I ask Lord Taishou, how many people and horses are there in the Daba Mountain Qiang tribe, and there must be a reason for the hasty ping-pong situation, why don't you send an envoy to ask about the situation?" Deng Zhi understood that Huo Ge had been in the palace for a long time and was well-informed in dealing with foreign affairs, so he replied, "According to the report from the sentry horse, the person who led the table tennis this time is Mei Si, the daughter of the king of Qiang, with a total of more than 20,000 Qiang ping pong, and I don't know why, the messenger sent by the city was killed by him. The Taishou of Xicheng is defending the city, and the enemy army is present

It is only more than 200 miles away from Chengdu."

Huo Ge frowned, thought for a moment, and in the midst of everyone's discussions, he clenched his fists and said loudly, "If Taishou can be trusted, he will not lead the table tennis to calm down the fighting."

"General Huo?" Deng Zhi's eyes were bright when he heard this, and he was worried that there was no one with table tennis just now, this Huo Ge was the current candidate, but considering that he had been in the palace for a long time, he hesitated again from the end of the table tennis, "It's just that the Qiang people are brave, and they are only afraid of ......."

"My lord, don't worry, I will calmly deal with it, since the Qiang people have always been at peace with me, there must be some misunderstanding, this time the table tennis is not fighting, but to resolve the misunderstanding, this is not the general's long!"

Huo Ge went out to transport grain this time just to be able to lead the table tennis to fight, and he didn't want to return to Chengdu, seeing that there was such an opportunity, how could he easily let it go. Deng Zhi groaned slightly, looked left and right, there was no suitable candidate, and what Huo Ge said was also in the middle of the heart, saying, Daoran Qiang people are coming in a violent situation this time, you should first frustrate their sharp spirit, in peace talks with them, civilized reasons, resolve misunderstandings, don't kill too much, and make enemies with the Qiang people, you may do

To?"

"It's not going to be done!" Huo Ge couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Deng Zhi agree, looked at Zhang Qi anxiously behind him, and said, "Captain Zhang is very brave, and if you walk with me, you will definitely be able to win a big victory."

Deng Zhi nodded, but frowned again, and said, "That's fine, it's just that the table tennis power in my city is insufficient, and there are only 3,000 fine table tennis and 5,000 new table tennis left to call with you, plus the general brought by the army, it is still less than 10,000, I don't know how to ask Hanzhong for ......help."

Huo Ge hugged his fists and said, "Saving table tennis is like fighting fire, if you ask Hanzhong for help again, I am afraid that Xicheng will have lost it long ago, this time the table tennis is aimed at negotiating peace, not asking for more table tennis, these table tennis forces are enough!"

Deng Zhi saw that although Huo Ge was young, he had an extraordinary temperament and responded properly, so he couldn't help but settle down in his heart, and he didn't dare to hesitate anymore.

The army set off at night, and entered the territory of Zhuxi in the morning of the second day, and here is the west city in front of it.

Before Huo Ge could give the order, Zhang Qi, who led the vanguard tribe, shouted a few loudly, and had already ordered the archers to shoot, only a few Qiang scouts were shot, and the rest fled in a hurry, looking like they were also the other party's sentinels.

Zhang Qi rushed over, anxious, and said, "Maybe the Qiang people are also guarding against reinforcements, and the horses are here, and I am afraid that there will be enemy troops behind, so prepare as soon as possible."

"Order, defend against the enemy in this position," Huo Ge held his big sword tightly and immediately gave a loud order, "The Qiang people are all riding ping-pong, the archers are divided into two sides, and the swords and shields are blocked in the middle of the road!"

—At the command, the new table tennis capital rushed up the hillside, and the well-trained elite table tennis put his shield on the ground and leaned his spear out under the raised collar.

The person behind the stands tilted upwards on the front stand to protect the head, and the front and back are arranged in a wrong row, like tiles, and behind the shield is a foot pong with a chopping knife.

Huo Ge led the new table tennis team as the second echelon, and when he saw those people with fear on their faces, he asked, "Are you afraid?"
