The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 583 Abandoning the Darkness
After all, Ma Teng was Ma Teng, just by appearing at the gate of the government office, he overwhelmed everyone by relying on the prestige he had established for a long time, and then he stabilized the restless military spirit in Wushi City with a few words.

The soldiers who had gathered outside the Yamen of Wuzhi City slowly dispersed under the leadership of their respective officers, and returned to the barracks again.

Ma Teng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If there was a military turmoil and the situation worsened, he might really follow in the footsteps of the kingdom.

The [-] troops in Wuzhi City and the [-] or so left in Boluo Valley can guarantee that when he returns to Hanyang County, he can mobilize enough troops in time to prevent Han Sui's possible invasion.

Of course, if Xu An leads the Yellow Turban Army to continue marching towards Hanyang County, then he has only one way to go, which is to completely abandon the northern part of Hanyang County, and then escape into the southernmost Wudu County, relying on Weishui to defend himself.

Ma Teng looked at the scattered soldiers, feeling extremely heavy in his heart, and a sense of sadness rose from his heart.

The eldest son, Ma Chao, fell into the battle, and the [-] army was wiped out. Not many of the Ma family's children who followed him escaped, and all the soldiers under his command were trapped in the battle.

"Order the whole army to set off at dawn, and go straight to Boluogu with light clothes. Take care of the arsenal and granary. At dawn, set fire to the warehouse, and don't leave it for the Yellow Turban Army."

Ma Teng ordered in a deep voice, turned around, and walked towards the depths of the mansion.

The continuous running of Mercedes-Benz, coupled with dealing with various emergencies, has already made him exhausted. He must take a break to relieve his fatigue. Now he only feels that his eyelids are extremely heavy, and even his thoughts are a little confused.

"General stay!"

Just as Ma Teng stepped into the gate of the government office, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes.

Ma Teng looked back and saw a war horse galloping towards him, and a messenger with a feather on his back jumped off the horse and walked quickly towards the government office.

Several generals around Ma Teng responded quickly, and immediately guarded Ma Teng.

"Our army's scouts found a group of soldiers in the north of Wushi City, with a size of about a hundred people. The emissary of the Taiping Road escorted by this horse team said that they wanted to meet and talk with the general."

"The emissary of the Taiping Road called himself Pang Bo, and said that the Major General is visiting the Yellow Turban Army. He is here to discuss important matters with the General. Does the General want to meet?"

Ma Teng suddenly turned around and hurried out of the mansion.

He originally thought that Ma Chao was caught in the battle, and he would die for him, but now someone told him that Ma Chao did not die.

Ma Teng was relieved that his son was not dead yet.

"Pang Bo..."

But Ma Teng didn't just notice the news, he also heard Pang Bo's name.

Ma Teng's eyes were slightly condensed, and a serious look appeared on his face.

The Yellow Turban Army sent envoys here at this time, the meaning of which is obvious, and I am afraid that they are here to persuade them to surrender.

surrender……

Ma Teng's eyes flickered. He had this idea before, but he didn't think about it.

"Let them into the city."

After a long silence, Ma Teng finally made a choice.

"The scouts will go forward another five miles, and if they find the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army brigade, report back immediately."

……

"Tuk, tuk, tuk."

A knock on the door woke up Ma Teng who had fallen into a deep sleep.

"General, the Taipingdao envoy has arrived."

Hearing the guard's voice outside the door, Ma Teng opened his eyes and looked outside the door.

While waiting, Ma Teng couldn't help being tired and finally fell asleep. From yesterday morning to returning to Wuzhi City, Ma Teng hardly closed his eyes.

"Let the emissary of Taiping Dao come in."

Ma Teng rubbed his head and said.

The guard outside the door sang a promise, and the movement disappeared. After a while, the sound of unhurried footsteps reached Ma Teng's ears, and a figure appeared outside the door.

"Shh-"

The wooden door was opened, and Ma Teng had stood up at this time, his eyes were clear again, and he had escaped from the drowsy state.

"General Ma, long time no see."

Pang Bo put one hand in front of his body, the other behind his back, and walked slowly into the hall.

Ma Teng's eyes flickered, and he didn't rush to answer, but just stared at Pang Bo calmly.

Pang Bo was wearing a Jinxian crown on his head, a brocade belt around his waist, and black shoes on his feet. He was meticulously dressed, clean and tidy, making it impossible to pick out the slightest fault.

"When Pang Gong was in Liangzhou in the past, he often helped the villagers and rescued his neighbors. He also made friends with my Ma family. I admire Pang Gong, so I still call you Pang Gong."

"Xu An regards himself as benevolent and righteous, but now he breaks his promise and doesn't talk about morality. I, Liangzhou Ben and Taipingdao are allies. In the battle of Jizhou in the past, in order to take back the yellow scarves of the four states, Xu An also sent troops to Chen Cang to help. But now Xu An is attacking me in Liangzhou."

Ma Teng walked slowly to the left and said in a deep voice.

"Pang Gong is a Liangzhou native, but he didn't stop it for foreign affairs orders. It's really chilling."

"Now that the war has started, why bother to pretend that the two families are on good terms? Mr. Pang didn't say any more polite words to each other, and directly stated what the trip was about."

Pang Bo glanced at Ma Teng and said with a smile.

"Since the general has said so, then I won't say those polite words anymore."

Pang Bo glanced at Ma Teng's desk and the scene in the house. The house was very clean, and there was nothing on the desk. All the signs along the way proved that Ma Teng was going to give up on Wu Zhi. City escape.

"I came here this time to ask the general to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so that we can achieve a great cause together."

"Create a great cause together, abandon the dark and turn to the bright?"

Ma Teng sneered, narrowed his eyes, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Can Taiping Dao tolerate such a powerful person like me?"

Pang Bo looked at Ma Teng's expression. Ma Teng didn't yell at him, nor did he flatly refuse, which proved that Ma Teng actually had the intention of surrendering in his heart.

Next, you just need to strike while the iron is hot. Pang Bo has lived in Liangzhou for a long time. As the head of the family, he can't say that he has reached the pinnacle of human psychology, but he is quite familiar with it.

"Liangzhou has been in chaos for a long time. It has been six years since now. The people are poor and the people's livelihood is exhausted. The general and Han Sui are opposed to each other, and they attack each other. Frequent attacks have made the situation in Liangzhou further collapsed."

"My lord Xu An, as a great virtuous teacher, controls the Yellow Turban Army and controls the Taiping Road. One is to rule the world, the other is to spread the virtue of the yellow sky in all directions, and the third is to make the world peaceful and the people live in peace. These three wishes are also my lord's wish. , It is also the wish of everyone in my Taiping Dao."

"Our army attacked Liangzhou. Although it was a breach of trust, it was not a betrayal of righteousness. The general and Han Sui faced each other, and their strengths were equal. After a long battle, it was still difficult to tell who was superior."

Pang Bo took a step forward, looked at Ma Teng, saluted respectfully, and said in a deep voice.

"Dong Zhuo messed up the capital, the prestige of the Han Dynasty fell to the ground, the Han lost its deer, and the world chased after it, but the general should know that the general and Han Sui have been fighting each other for a long time without results, and they have lost the qualification to compete for the world."
