Chapter 29: Make money in Yi County
In Ma Chao's heart, Pang De was probably completely in line with Liu Fan. Even if he returns to Ma Teng in the future, he will probably not be tolerated by Ma Chao.
After all, Ma Chao is Ma Teng's eldest son. If Ma Chao cannot be tolerated, what else does Pang De have to go back and follow Ma Teng?
Liu Fan did not say anything else to Ma Chao later, and there was no need for anything else. After all, Ma Chao's value is almost used. Liu Fan had previously said that if Ma Chao could come, he would be sure to take Pang De away completely. Later, when he heard that he was really here, Liu Fan was calm, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
For Liu Fan at the moment, Ma Chao has two functions: one is to make Pang De give up, and the other is to help him enter the town of Ji County smoothly.
Yes, Liu Fan will inevitably enter the city of Mei County to replenish supplies. He will wait for the elite old soldiers sent from Shu. Judging from the time, the old soldiers sent by Liu Yan should be about to arrive.
In fact, Liu Fan had slandered Ma Teng before. Before he came out of Chang'an, he had already asked Liu Yan to send five thousand old soldiers from Yizhou to help. The general who led the troops was Sun Zhao, the captain who had followed Liu Yan for many years.
According to the process, Sun Zhao should have led his troops out of Qinling Mountains to come to Mei County.
After all, the place where Liu Fan and him agreed to meet was Mei County. As Ma Teng's previous military camp, Mei County was naturally safest. After all, no one expected that Ma Teng and Han Sui would be defeated so quickly in Guo Si and Fan Chou's hands.
Now Liu Fan and Ma Teng have also broken off contact, and it is unlikely that they want to sneak into Mei County in his name. Fortunately, they were sleepy and someone gave him a pillow. Ma Chao, who ran out of Mei County, chased him and rushed over.
Of course, Liu Fan accepted the hostages who were sent to them with joy. He tied up Ma Chao and his entourages, and Liu Fan dragged them all the way to Ji County.
Although they were walking, Liu Fan did not slow down at all. He was deliberately consuming these people's physical strength, making them unable to develop other thoughts.
As for Ma Teng's pursuers, Liu Fan is not worried at the moment. In history, it was because after Ma Yu's manager reported that Liu Fan and others planned to leak it and fled to Huaili. Guo Si and Fan Chou's army raided Changpingguan, resulting in Ma Teng and others being defeated.
This time, the two sides faced a head-on battle, and Liu Fan was disturbed for a while. Even if Ma Teng and the others were defeated, they were not defeated. Therefore, they would not pursue them in a short period of time.
Mei County
It originated in the Zhou Dynasty and was a yi. In "Shi Daya", it says, "Shen Bo believed in his faith and the king fled to the yi." After the Han Dynasty, Ji County was established. After Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang to Chang'an, he built Ji County into a fort. The city was solid and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
So later, Mei County became a good place for many people to choose to station troops. After Dong Zhuo's death, Ma Teng arrived in Guanzhong and chose to station troops in Mei County to observe the situation in Chang'an.
Today, Ji County is all within the control of Ma Tengjun.
After Ma Teng and Han Sui sent troops to Chang'an, Mei County had not received any news from the front for a long time, so a few days ago, Major General Ma Chao led his entourage to escape privately.
Only the chief clerk of this trip, Fu Gan, was left behind in Mei County.
As the son of Fu Xie, a famous scholar in the northern county, Fu Gan was also one of the few young talents in Liangzhou. As the prefect of Hanyang, Fu Xie died heroically in the battle of Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, who refused to listen to the advice and sent troops to attack the rebels of the kingdom.
At that time, Fu Gan was appointed as the official at the age of twelve. Later, the court admired Fu Xie's Zhongyi and appointed him as the Marquis of Zhuangjie.
Ma Teng was originally a military Sima under Fu Xie's command. After that war, he also joined the rebel army under the general trend of the Xiliang riot army. Since then, Ma Teng and Han Sui have become old partners.
But compared to Han Sui's behavior of covering the sky with his hands in Jincheng, Ma Teng has a good reputation in Liangzhou. Later, he also found Fu Gan and worked hard to support him. Until now, Fu Gan grew up to be the chief clerk of Ma Teng's army.
When the sky gradually turned white, it meant that night was about to leave and a new day was about to begin, while outside the town of Mei County, there were hundreds of uninvited guests.
This was the hazy sky and the most difficult time for the guards to defend the city. When this army suddenly appeared outside the city, the waiter at the city gate was stunned for a moment before shouting loudly: "Stop the visitor!"
Hearing this, he headed to the city, and the team that was coming paused for a moment, and then a man quickly rushed out and shouted angrily towards the city: "Bastard! You can't open the city gate yet! The major general is injured. If you don't open the city gate, be careful of your life!"
As soon as this was said, the face of the city gate who had just scolded changed, and he quickly swallowed his saliva, and still said with difficulty: "Let the Major General come out and speak!" He knew the person who was calling just now, and Pang De, the captain in Ma Teng's army.
"Bastard!" Suddenly shouted, Pang De was furious, "I am the captain Pang De. I am the general's order to escort the major general back to recuperate overnight. If you delay any further, the general who conquers the West will blame you, you will all die!"
After a while, the forehead of the city gate was slightly oozing with sweat. At that moment, I still asked more carefully, "Can I ask me to see another major general?"
Upon hearing this, Pang De didn't talk nonsense. He waved his hand and quickly lifted Ma Chao up. He looked closely and saw who the man was not Ma Chao. At this time, he was lying on the wooden stand with his eyes closed.
At this moment, even if there was still half an hour before opening the city gate, the waiter in the city gate did not dare to delay and quickly ordered the city to open and let them in. Although Fu Gan had warned that no matter what unexpected situations encountered, the documents of the General of the West would be required to open the door.
But facing Ma Chao who was unconscious, the waiter at the city gate was indeed a little panicked. So, he didn't think much about it and quickly asked the soldiers to open the city gate.
As the city gate slowly opened, hundreds of cavalry carried Ma Chao quickly to the city under the leadership of Pang De. However, when everyone approached, a young man next to the city gate suddenly whispered: "Military Hou, the situation is wrong. These people are holding their waist knives and are always ready to fight."
His eyes suddenly sterned. When the Hou in the city gate looked at it again, it was true. He shouted: "There is a fraud when you close the city gate!"
However, the suspension bridge had been lowered and the city gate was half opened, so there was no possibility of being linked. At that moment, Liu Fan next to Pang De instantly shot the passer and killed the gatekeeper, and shouted loudly: "Assie!"
"Kill!" In an instant, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed into the city gate under the leadership of Liu Fan and Pang De. At the same time, a man appeared not far away, leading hundreds of cavalrymen and rushed towards him.
Seeing this, Hou's face changed drastically, and immediately pulled out his battle knife and shouted to the young man beside him: "Zijing, go and notify Master Fu quickly, and the rest will follow me to the city to fight against the enemy!"
