Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 376 Ma Teng vs. Guo Si

"What's the matter? As long as it's not an excuse for your defeat, let's just listen to it." Seeing Fan Chou and Xu Rong's earnest words, Ma Teng was also secretly shocked, and he didn't want to, but killing them like this is inevitable. It gave other people the truth, so Ma Teng wanted to see what the two of them were going to say.
"General, the two of us went to Fufeng this time, and only saw Guo Si and his generals. Indeed, we didn't see other generals. The two of our subordinates didn't care at all. Only after we secretly investigated, did we know what happened. Li Jue has already led his troops around us and headed for Chang'an. After hearing the news, the two subordinates rushed back day and night, hoping that the general would be able to see through the details and prevent our army from being wiped out." Ma Teng thought Fan Chou hadn't. They were just looking for a reason to escape the fate of being killed, but they didn't expect the two of them to get such amazing news.

Naturally, Fan Chou and Xu Rong did not come up with this statement, but Jia Xu explained it before coming here. Ma Teng Jiuli battlefield is considered a very powerful warlord, so Jia Xu expected that Fan Chou and Xu Rong would be defeated. He will definitely not let it go easily, so he prepared such a set of arguments for the two of them. Although they were defeated, but with such important news, they can guarantee their lives without any worries. It would not annex the two men, which gave them time to launch a rebellion and cooperate internally and externally.

"The two generals are serious?" Hearing Fan Chou's narration, Liu Bei on the side was shocked at first. Although Liu Bei knew that the court's war against Li Jue and Guo Si would be a tough one, he didn't expect it It was just the beginning, but they were facing such a dangerous situation. If what Fan Chou and Xu Rong said was true, wouldn't Chang'an be very dangerous now?Once Chang'an falls into the hands of Li Jue, let alone Liu Bei, even Ma Teng will become a bandit.

"The two of us fought all the way back to bring back this news. As for the reliability of the news, I think it's better to believe it or not. Please think twice, General." Although Xu Rong knew the news was true, But in front of Ma Teng and Liu Bei, he didn't dare to speak too much, so as not to arouse their suspicion.

"So, what should I do?" Xu Rong said that he would rather believe what he had than believe what he hadn't. Ma Teng naturally understood that what he meant was to express.Ma Teng and the others can't afford to lose at all, so no matter it is true or not, they must be on guard. But if Li Jue really sent troops to Chang'an, then Ma Teng should report back to rescue now, otherwise it is impossible to resist with Chang'an's defensive strength, but just Did you go back in such a despondent manner?Ma Teng was not reconciled. For this war, Wang Yun and Ma Teng planned for a long time. Then they took advantage of the time when Lu Bu sent troops to Xianbei to start the war. At this time, other princes were also busy with their own affairs and were unable to threaten the court. But once Ma Teng withdrew his troops, it would be difficult to enjoy such an opportunity. "Fan Chou, Xu Rong, how many troops does he have when you fight Guo Si?" At this time, Ma Teng suddenly thought of another question and asked suddenly.

Ma Teng's idea is very clear. If the situation of Li Jue and Guo Si really wants to be as written in the letter of surrender, then Li Jue and Guo Si are not capable of fighting on both sides of Chang'an and Fufeng at the same time, but if what the letter of surrender says is false Yes, then the immediate situation is in crisis.

"General Qi, the sun, the moon, and the wind were high when the two men attacked Fufeng City at night, and they didn't see the number of enemy troops clearly. However, judging from the situation at that time, I'm afraid there were at least [-] enemy troops in Fufeng." Fan Chou After thinking for a while, he said.

Fan Chou's statement made Ma Teng a little confused. Li Jue and Guo Si originally had more than 14 soldiers and horses. How many soldiers does Jue have?All this made Ma Teng unable to guess.

"Well, the two of you have brought back such important information this time. You really have made a contribution. Let's go down and rest for now." After receiving such amazing news, Ma Teng no longer had the heart to play his own small calculations, and hurriedly asked the two of them to come back. Go down and rest.And he had to think carefully about his next plan.

"General, please show me what to do next." Seeing Fan Chou and Xu Rong retreat, Liu Bei took a step forward and asked Ma Teng.

"The situation is severe now, and we really need to plan carefully for the next step. What do you think should be done?" Ma Teng was naturally unwilling to let Ma Teng give up on the expedition like this. He had just become a general not long ago, and he couldn't just lose weight on the first card. .But if he didn't go back to save Chang'an, once Li Jue took advantage of his loopholes, it would be an unbearable pain.

"The most important thing at the moment is to get in touch with Chang'an. See if Chang'an is under attack. Fan Chou and Xu Rong are just one-sided words, not necessarily the real situation." At this time, Pang De who was next to Ma Teng suddenly got up and said.

"That's right, Father, since it's hard to make a decision now, why don't you let the child go back to Chang'an to see the situation there for father." Hearing what Pang De said was reasonable, Ma Chao stood up and cupped his hands and said.

"If Li Jue has really gone to Chang'an, it would be very dangerous for General Ma Chao to go." Seeing that Ma Chao was going to Chang'an to check the situation, Liu Bei said with some concern.

"This won't work, and that won't work. Do we have to wait here?" Seeing that everyone couldn't make up their minds for a while, Zhang Fei said anxiously.

"In this case, Chao'er, you can go this way. If Li Jue really arrives in Chang'an, you will be stationed in Chang'an." Ma Teng pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind and said to Ma Chao.

"General, please let my second brother Guan Yu go with General Ma Chao, so I can take care of you on the way." At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly stood up and said.

In doing this, Liu Bei had his own plans besides marrying Ma Teng. The [-] soldiers and horses brought by Liu Bei must still be resting in Chang'an.In this way, Liu Bei has to think about his own way out. This time, let Guan Yu follow Ma Chao back to Chang'an, and he can also bring his own troops out by the way. When he really needs to run away, he can also leave easily. As for the trip to Chang'an, I lost my money.

"Hahaha, Guan Yu's help, I can finally rest assured." Hearing Liu Bei's words, Ma Teng laughed out loud.Ma Chao and Pound are the most powerful generals under Ma Teng. In fact, when Ma Chao said he was going back to Chang'an, Ma Teng also thought about letting Pound go with him. People, after much deliberation, feel that it is really not good, and the army in Ma Teng's hands must also need the support of capable men.But Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to go there at this time, just to reassure Ma Teng, believing that Guan Yu and Ma Teng would cooperate with each other, even if they really met Li Jue, there was nothing to worry about.

"Second brother, be careful in everything during this trip to Chang'an." Although Guan Yu had already decided to go to Chang'an, Liu Bei couldn't help but remind Guan Yu.

"Brother, don't worry, I know what to do." Seeing Liu Bei's instructions, Guan Yu nodded to show that he had understood.

"Report, fifty miles ahead, we found a large enemy army, about [-] in number." Just as Ma Chao and Guan Yu had just left, a soldier came to report.

"Hmph, did you catch up so soon? Okay, Brother Liu, let's go meet them." After Ma Chao left, Ma Teng finally got rid of his heart problems.

"Please, General." Liu Bei made a gesture of invitation, and then followed Ma Teng out.

"Hahaha, but it's been a long time. General Ma Teng is no longer what he used to be." On the battlefield, Guo Si said with some emotion when he saw Ma Teng.

"Hmph, Guo Si, you haven't changed at all for so many years, and you will always be a thief." Although the two were acquaintances at first, but now they have different status, Ma Teng said directly sarcastically.

"Hey, I'm not stupid and I don't want to go to war, but it's a pity that Wang Yun wants my life, so I have no choice but to raise the banner. As long as you Ma Teng can tolerate me and let me stay in Fufeng forever, I don't want to fight with you We'll meet again." Looking at Ma Teng and Guo Si, he suddenly sighed and said.

"Hmph, what you think is right, but it's impossible. I'm going to kill you today." Ma Teng's army was on par with Guo Si's army, and Ma Teng's soldiers were elite soldiers. If you don't pay attention to Guo Bang, if you change your tone while speaking, you will fight Guo Bang.

"I'm Zhang Fei from Yan, the thief general, who dares to fight me?" At this moment, a general behind Ma Teng rode out and shouted loudly.Who could it be if it wasn't Zhang Fei?
Zhang Fei once fought Lu Bu today. Although many people have never seen this battle, they have heard of it. Seeing Zhang Fei's challenge at this time, which general would dare to fight.

But the one who was happiest seeing Zhang Fei coming out at this time was not Liu Bei nor Zhang Fei nor Ma Teng, but Guo Si.It turned out that Guo Si had already made an appointment with Duan Yan. As long as Duan Yan sent a signal from behind to disrupt the deployment of Ma Teng's army, Guo Si would take the opportunity to launch an attack and defeat Ma Teng's army. , Now that Zhang Fei came out to disrupt the situation, just to delay the time, Guo Bang was naturally happy and relaxed.

"You Wu Dan rats, don't you have anyone who dares to fight with grandpa?" Seeing that he didn't pay attention to him, Zhang Fei couldn't help being furious, and opened his mouth to curse.

Just when Zhang Fei was about to scold again, he suddenly saw black smoke rising from Ma Tengjun's barracks behind him, apparently on fire.

"The water is gone, the water is gone." While the camp was on fire, many people began to shout, and the soldiers who were still on the battlefield who were about to fight Guo Si's army saw this scene and became puzzled at the same time.

"Brothers, kill me, kill these bandit soldiers." Although he didn't know what happened, but at this time, Ma Teng knew that he could only grit his teeth and let the soldiers charge. The enemy can only survive by himself. As for retreating, Ma Teng understands that it is only a dead end.

"Kill." Ma Teng gave an order, and Pound rushed out with his troops first.

"Kill it for me." Liu Bei also immediately stepped forward and followed closely behind to kill him.

At this moment, Liu Bei already understood that there were traitors in the barracks, or spies mixed in, but no matter what the situation was, the most important thing at the moment was to rush forward and defeat Guo Si, not to turn back Go save the camp.

"Thief, you are so clever, let me see how I, Zhang Fei, kill you." Originally, no one paid attention to Zhang Fei's shouting, but at this moment, seeing the army rushing to kill, how could little Zhang Fei be polite? nice.

"Kill me, avenge the prime minister, and earn a living for ourselves." Guo Si waved his saber, and all the soldiers around him also shot out like arrows from Xuan, and they fought with Ma Teng's army in a short time.

However, although Ma Teng's army had rushed up, there was no movement in one of the square formations. This square formation was the one in charge of Fan Chou and Xu Rong, and most of them were Guo Si's men and horses. Naturally, they did not obey Ma at this time. Teng's order.

"General Duan Yan, I have burned Ma Teng's rations according to your wishes, what shall we do next?" Fan Chou turned his head and asked Duan Yao behind him, looking at the battlefield where the fighting had already begun.

"Hehe, it looks like it's time to go up. Ma Teng has only [-] soldiers and horses. Let's form a conical formation and make a hole in the middle, so that Ma Teng's army will definitely be defeated." Duan Yan explained to the two.

"Everything, please the general decides." Most of these troops were brought by Duan Yan, and a few of them escaped from Fufeng City, but since Fan Chou and Xu Rong didn't say anything, naturally it wasn't the soldiers' turn to say anything.

"Kill me. If you kill Ma Teng, you will be rewarded with [-] yuan, and you will be promoted to three ranks." Duan Yan raised his sword and roared loudly.

Following Duan Yao's explosive roar, the soldiers behind him immediately roared and followed Duan Yan to kill him.

"What's going on here? Could it be that Fan Chou and Xu Rong rebelled?" Ma Teng was startled when he suddenly heard the shouts of killing behind him.Originally, he had already issued the order to attack, but he did not see Fan Chou and Xu Rong launching an attack. Ma Teng was a little suspicious, but he only thought that he had said that he wanted to kill the two, so the two were a little emotional. It was not easy to attack, so he endured it, but unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses led by Fan Chou and Xu Rong came to kill him.This made Ma Teng pale with fright. Ma Teng naturally knew better than anyone else what it would mean if Fan Chou and Xu Rong turned against each other.

"Xu Rong, Fan Chou, what are you doing?" Seeing that Xu Rong and Fan Chou rebelled, although Ma Teng knew that the possibility of stopping them was very small, he could only bite the bullet and try at this juncture.

"Haha, General, you didn't expect to see this day, right?" Seeing Ma Teng, who was once aloof and mighty, his face was pale now.Fan Chou and Xu Rong inadvertently showed perverted pleasure on their faces.

"General Ma Teng, you should know me instead, and take your life." At this moment, beside Fan Chou and Xu Rong, a figure flashed out, but it was Duan Yan.

"You? Why are you here?" Seeing Duan Yan here, Ma Teng completely understood that Fan Chou and Xu Rong had betrayed long ago.At this moment, Ma Teng could only regret why he didn't kill Xu Rong and Fan Chou. Maybe if he killed them, he wouldn't be so passive at this time, but it's obviously too late to say this now.

"Haha, I'm here to kill you, of course." Duan Yao laughed, tightened his long knife in his hand, and charged at Ma Teng.

"The thief is going crazy, Ma Dai is here." Just when Fan Chou, Xu Rong and Duan Yan were about to intercept and kill Ma Teng, a person appeared and stood next to Ma Teng. It was none other than Ma Dai. It turned out that after Pound took the lead and killed Ma Dai, Ma Dai was by Ma Teng's side just in case, but it just happened to come in handy at this time.

"It's the water, it's the water." Ma Teng's army was fighting forward, and suddenly panicked in the first battle, and the panic became more and more severe, so that many soldiers were secretly afraid. At this time, they heard the soldiers on Guo Si's side Shock side shouted.Hearing this made Ma Tengjun even more fearful.

"Third brother, it's not suitable to stand here for a long time, you and I will fight back." Zhang Fei was rushing left and right, looking for Guo Si's location, but he heard a familiar voice shouting beside him, this voice Zhang Fei was very familiar with, it was Liu Bei's voice .

"Brother, don't worry, it won't be too late for me to take Guo Si's head." Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei is not willing to give up. This time he came to Yongzhou, Zhang Fei wants to make a name for himself, how can he not kill Guo Si? .

"There is a rebellion in the future, and Ma Teng's army is weak. Let's go back and help Ma Teng. If it is too late, it will be too late." Although Zhang Fei was not in a hurry, Liu Bei couldn't help the situation at this time. Anyway, the Chang'an court might not be able to support it, and Liu Bei didn't dare to take this risk.

"Okay, big brother, let's go back." Seeing that Liu Bei was in a hurry, Zhang Fei couldn't find Guo Si for a while, so he agreed and decided to go back with Liu Bei.

"Hmph, you're Zhang Fei? Don't you think it's too late to leave now? Someone kill him for me." Just as Zhang Fei was about to leave, a voice came out from Diagonal Stab. The strong man was staring at Zhang Fei from the side and sneered. This person was Li Meng. However, Li Meng knew that Zhang Fei was powerful, so he didn't kill him directly. Instead, he asked the soldiers to surround Zhang Fei and wanted to use crowd tactics. Dragging Zhang Fei down, anyway, Guo Sijun has already taken the initiative in Zhang Field, and there are plenty of soldiers and horses in this area.

"Little bastard, don't dare to fight with grandpa at this time to come out and clamor, grandpa peeled your skin like this." Seeing someone provoking him, although it was not aboveboard, Zhang Fei still clamored to charge forward, obviously enjoying it.

"After this battle, the court of Chang'an is under control, and Jia Xu is here to congratulate the general." Not far away, Jia Xu gradually understood the situation in Zhang Field.

"Haha, everything is due to the master, but even if you win Chang'an, you have to share it with Li Jue. This is really uncomfortable." Seeing that the victory of this battle is imminent, the heart of death is a little restless, Surely even if he defeated Ma Teng and Wang Yun, Guo Bang would share the power of the court with Li Jue.

"The general has gone through two battles in a row, but he is not suitable to compete with General Li Jue." Hearing Guo Si's words, Jia Xu said hesitantly.
