Chapter 463 Liangzhou Chaos (11) Please vote for recommendations!
Xiliang, Guzang.
Ma Tie looked at Pang De in the hall, his handsome face full of gloom.
"Three thousand cavalry, three thousand cavalry... Pang Lingming, you are so capable, but you lost all of it to me in one fell swoop."
"The general is incompetent, please punish me."
"Since you are so incompetent, what's the use of keeping you? Come on, drag him out and behead him!"
Ma Tie was really angry!
The loss of Wuwei County originally made him angry.
That little thief Cao Peng is just lucky. He didn't even gain a foothold in Hexi, but he actually wanted to attack my Wuwei County. It's better if I don't bother you... Since you came to die on your own, then I won't treat you right.
You're welcome!
I heard from my father that Pang De is a good player.
Therefore, after learning about the rebellion in Wuwei County, Ma Tie immediately asked Xuanwei Guardsman Pang De to lead his troops to help.
Unexpectedly...
Suddenly, a long-circulated story flashed through my mind. When Pang De was exiled to Longqi City, it was because he seemed to have a relationship with Cao Peng but denied it, so he was thrown into Hehuang by Ma Teng. Could it be that...
Ma Tie suddenly said: "Slow down!"
The swordsman stopped and looked at Ma Tie doubtfully.
Just listen to Ma Tiedao: "Pang Lingming, what is your relationship with that Cao Peng?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Then how did you come back?"
Pang De was startled, and after a moment he said softly: "It was Cao Peng who let me come back."
"Ha, you said it doesn't matter!"
Ma Tie laughed angrily, stood up and pointed at Pound and said: "If it doesn't matter, he will let you back? If it doesn't matter? He will give you a sword. Pound, my father told me before he left, asking me to guard against you.
He said you were an ignorant white-eyed wolf. I didn't believe it at first, and I thought you could help me. Unexpectedly, you actually surrendered to Cao Cao."
"There will be no end!"
The knife was confiscated.
Pang De had nothing to say... but if he said that he colluded with Cao Peng, it must not be admitted.
He was still going to argue, but he saw Ma Tie step forward and kick Pang De in the chest. Although Ma Tie was young, he was the son of a general. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and was proficient in both guns and horses. Although he was not as brave as his elder brother Ma Chao, he was still a warrior.
Strong general.
This kick caused Pang De to spurt out a mouthful of blood and almost fall down.
"With this physical evidence now, do you still dare to say that there is no such evidence?"
"Third Young Master, the last general was indeed captured by Cao Peng. However, Cao Peng was an upright man. He said he won without using force and wanted to fight me in the foot of Guzang City. So he let me back... He said he didn't want to take advantage of me.
, so he gave me the sword."
Pound was magnanimous and had a sense of being able to say everything.
What he said was natural, but to Ma Tie's ears, it was simply unbelievable and nonsense.
"He valued you, so he let you go.
He wants to defeat you fair and square, so he gives you a sword...Pang Lingming, do you think you are my three-year-old child?"
Ma Tie's handsome face was twisted with anger.
"You are clearly the one who surrendered to Cao Peng. He sent you to sneak into my village, and then you cooperated with the outside. Pang De, my father values you so much that you dare to turn your back on me and ask for glory. If I don't kill you today, someone will be killed sooner or later.
It's a tribute to your visit... Come here, drag him out and behead him, cut him into pieces!" Ma Tie was furious and roared fiercely.
He was not angry with Pound for surrendering, but angry that Pound looked down on him and actually used such lies to deceive him.
Ma Tie also knew that he lacked prestige in the army.
This can be seen from the last expedition to Hongze and the constant dispatch of generals from various ministries.
That bastard just bullies me. How can you, a little Pound, look down on me? I'm going to kill you today!
"My lord, I will always be wronged, I will be wronged forever!"
"Drag out!"
Ma Tie waved his hand and shouted loudly.
At this moment, Ma Cheng ran from outside and said loudly: "Sir, the sword will save you, the sword will save you!"
"Uncle Cheng, do you want to plead for this?"
Ma Cheng was panting, and after stopping, he glanced at Pang De.
Speaking of which, he knew Pound very well. This kid was a very loyal person, hardworking and very honest.
He is highly skilled in martial arts, but not as arrogant as Ma Chao.
When Ma Teng sent Pound to Longqi City for reasons that were not well known, Ma Chengcheng did not agree.
Why does Cao Peng know Pound's name?
At that time, Pound had just emerged. Maybe Cao Peng knew about Pound's existence through some channel. Why should you doubt it? But Ma Teng was stubborn, and Ma Cheng couldn't say much. He could only watch Ma Teng take Pound to
They were allotted, and once they were allotted, it lasted for four years. But in these four years, Pang De had not complained at all...
He devoted himself to guarding Longqi City and fought nearly a hundred battles with Hehuang Qiang and Hu people, large and small.
There were at least dozens of Qiang and Hu generals who died under Pang De's sword. It was Pang De who was in charge of Longqi City, and it was the Shaodang Qiang who could not unite with Han Sui, which greatly restricted Han Sui's development.
, only then did Ma Teng sit high.
Cao Peng?
So many tricks!
It seems reasonable that Pang De lost to Cao Peng.
It is also common sense for heroes to cherish each other. Even if they are given a knife to release, it is nothing. Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, this sounds absurd. But is Cao Peng an ordinary person? In Ma Cheng's eyes, none of the people in Hexi are normal.
.
A normal person would have the guts to defeat seven battles in a row at Fengmingtan and lure the enemy deeper?
Can a normal person pacify the chaotic Hexi and tear the Hongze Alliance into pieces in just half a year?
Normal people...
In short, in Ma Cheng's view, Cao Peng was not a normal person.
However, looking at Ma Tie's angry look, Ma Cheng also knew that he could not persuade Ma Tie. This third young master really looked like Ma Teng. Especially his petty mind and headstrong temper, they were all modeled after the same mold.
Ma Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, it's not that I want to plead for Pang De, but that I have military information to report."
"speak!"
Ma Tie waved his hand and sat down with great momentum.
Ma Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Xiutu County is lost!"
As soon as Ma Tie sat down, he jumped up again as if there was a spring under his buttocks, "What did you say?"
Ma Cheng coughed twice and said, "Xiutu County was attacked last night. Chief Xiutu died in the battle. Cao Peng has captured Xiutu County and cut off the reinforcements from Xianmei and Fanhe."
"How can it be?"
Nothing is Impossible!
Jia Xing is from Wuwei.
His godfather Jia Xu is also a very famous celebrity in Guzang.
Although he has been away from Liangzhou for many years, he still has some connections. Especially some powerful families who had some friendship with Jia Xu back then. Jia Xing relied on Jia Xu's name and after capturing Xuanwei, he rode alone to Xiutu County and captured Xiu.
Butcher it.
Even Cao Peng didn't expect this.
Xiutu County has nothing to do with Xiutuze. It is located between the Qin and Han Great Walls, guarding the throat between the Hexi Corridor and Guzang. After the loss of Xiutu County, it also indicates that the three northern counties of Wuwei County will be destroyed.
It is difficult for reinforcements to rush to Guzang immediately. And the troops around Guzang are also insufficient. Xiliang's 8,000 elite soldiers are almost all in Guzang.
Ma Cheng continued: "There is one more thing."
"What else?"
Ma Tie couldn't control his emotions and roared loudly.
"Zou Qi, the prefect of Zhangye, had promised to send troops to rescue. However, Su Ze, the prefect of Jiuquan, suddenly sent troops to capture Heli Mountain and occupied Zhaowu. Although Zou Qi wanted to rescue, he was unable to send troops. He had to repel Su Ze first."
Su Ze, the prefect of Jiuquan.
Zou Qi was the prefect of Zhangye, and in the early days of the Later Huang Dynasty, Cao Pichu established Liangzhou and made him the governor of Liangzhou.
However, Liangzhou was also very chaotic at this time. Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou, obeyed the orders but did not listen to the propaganda. In other words, I surrendered to the court on the surface, but I was unwilling to obey the orders. Historically, after Wei Duan died, Liangzhou was
His son Wei Kang owned it. It was not until Ma Chao rebelled and killed Wei Kang that Cao Cao took the opportunity to send troops and truly control Liangzhou.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration at all to describe Liangzhou's current situation as a group of heroes dividing the state.
Of course, the most powerful ones are Ma Teng, Han Sui and Wei Duan, who form a tripod. In the Hexi Corridor, there are Zhangye County and Jiuquan County. Among them, Zhangye County Governor Zou Qi has a very close cooperative relationship with Ma Teng
.And Su Ze, the governor of Jiuquan, was an official sent by the imperial court during Dong Zhuo's period. He belongs to... It's a bit unclear.
However, judging from the fact that he sent troops to Zhangye at this time, Su Ze had more relatives and relatives and seemed to have no intention of being independent.
This Liangzhou is really in chaos!
There are wars everywhere.
Ma Teng captured Jincheng County and threatened Hanyang; Cao Peng invaded Wuwei County, captured three counties in a row, and was about to attack Guzang City; now, Zhangye is at war again, and Su is sending troops, which will inevitably delay Zhangye's troops.
This made it impossible for him to rescue Wuwei County. Cao Peng's original plan to keep the enemy out of Hexi could be regarded as a great success.
It's just that even he didn't expect that it would become such a mess...
"Sir, Cao Youxue has occupied Xiutu. I'm afraid that Guzang will be next.
The war is about to begin, and it would be an ominous sign to kill a general before the battle. Since Pang De said that he did not surrender to Cao Peng, why not ask him to atone for his sins and prove his innocence in front of the battle? If he can defeat Cao Peng, it means that he did not
He colludes with Cao Peng; if he is defeated again, the young master will be guilty of both crimes and behead him, and he won't be able to say anything."
"this……"
Ma Tie, hesitated!
Seeing Ma Tie's heartbeat, Ma Cheng immediately turned around and shouted: "Pound, can you hear clearly what I just said?"
"Listen to the truth of every word."
"Then are you willing to fight?"
"The general is willing...if he cannot defeat Cao Peng, the general will die on the battlefield to clear his name. Please tell me, sir."
"Come here, don't let General Pang loose his bonds."
Ma Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Pound to be released.
Unexpectedly, Ma Tie shouted at this moment, "Slow down!"
Ma Cheng's heart tightened and he turned to look at Ma Tie. He saw Ma Tie pondering for a moment and said to Pang De: "Uncle Cheng is right. Killing a general before a battle is an ominous sign. However, I still don't believe you... Come on, the general will
He is thrown into prison, and I will settle the score with you after I defeat Cao Peng."
In Ma Tie's heart, he could not trust Pound after all.
At the same time, he is even more confident. He is just a Cao Peng, so what’s the big deal? I don’t believe it. Without Pound, can I still win against him?
Pound was escorted out.
Ma Cheng looked at Pound's back, feeling a little bitter in his heart, and secretly... sighed.

In March of the ninth year of Jian'an, on the sixth day after Cao Peng captured Xuanwei, he captured Xiutu without any blood.
At the same time, Yue Ji commanded an army of 20,000 troops and marched to Wuwei City.
Na Yueji is known as the fierce tiger of the Qiang people, and has the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand people. In his palm is a long-handled iron hammer, which weighs a hundred kilograms and is extremely powerful. This long-handled iron hammer is not something that ordinary people can use, and it requires not only great strength
, but also have skills.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, besides Yue Ji, there are other people who use this kind of weapon.
For example, outside Hulao Pass, General Wu Anguo on the North Sea used a long-handled copper hammer, but the weight was only half that of Yue Ji.
Wu Anguo was also a general outside Hulao Pass who did not appear much, but was not killed by Lu Bu.
It's just that he had one of his hands cut off by Lu Bu, and he disappeared from sight after that. After all, if a hand is cut off, he is like a useless person.
Twenty thousand Qiang and Hu troops rushed towards Wuwei County in a mighty force.
However, they just saw the outline of the city wall in Wuwei County, and saw a group of troops arrayed outside the city.
Xu Shu personally supervised the battle at the top of the city and ordered eight thousand Hexi soldiers to set up a battle formation, as if they were going to fight a decisive battle with the Qiang and Hu.
Yue Ji was in the Chinese army. After hearing this, he couldn't help laughing.
"The Han family is arrogant. If they fight in the city, there will be a fight. But now, they have abandoned the city to fight with me in the field. They are obviously seeking death. Give me the order and the whole army will attack. I will be a hero today."
become."
Twenty thousand Qiang and Hu men howled like wild wolves and charged on horseback.
But seeing that the formation of the Hexi soldiers was not in chaos, Xu Shu followed the formation of long soldiers in front and short soldiers at the back, and placed three thousand crossbowmen at the front. The arrows of the Hexi soldiers were specially made.
It is not the most common green-edge arrow or wolf-tongue arrow in this era. Cao Peng asked Cao Ji to create a three-sided arrow. The arrowhead is slender and triangular in shape than ordinary arrows. For this reason, Cao Peng also
This kind of three-edged arrow is specially named "Cao Gong Arrow".
In the first month of the first month, the first batch of 200,000 Cao Gong arrows were sent to Hexi.
This was built with Cao Peng's own money, so Cao Cao was not particularly clear about it. Only after the two hundred thousand Cao Gong arrows were sent out did Cao Cao learn about the situation. He could see at a glance that these Cao Gong arrows had more advantages than ordinary arrows.
Unparalleled lethality. It was too late to recover it! So he ordered Cao Ji to work day and night to build 300,000 Cao Gong arrows to be used in the battle of Yecheng. For this matter, Cao Cao also rebuked Liu Shaofu.
Ye, almost dismissed Liu Ye from office.
Cao Cao's 300,000 Cao Gong Arrows are still being built.
And outside Wuwei City, Cao Gongya is about to show his prowess!
Xu Shu stood at the top of the city, looking at the madly charging Qiang and Hu cavalry, with a cruel smile in his eyes...
He shook his feather fan lightly and pointed forward suddenly.
On the top of the city, the flag was fluttering, and the Han general outside the city roared: "Fire arrows!"
A thousand-man archery team drew their bows and fired. A rain of arrows rose into the sky with a buzzing sound and shot towards the Qiang and Hu cavalry. Following closely, a second row of a thousand-man archery team opened their bows and released arrows, following closely.
The arrows were raining. The third row of arrows, in response to the order, also drew their bows and shot arrows. The three rows of arrows soared into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, making the sun and moon dim. This method of shooting in turns was similar to that of the Qin army in those days.
The arrow formations are quite similar. The crossbows used are all specially made and cannot be used by those who are not powerful.
Cao Gong's arrow flew in the air, tearing the air and making a shrill scream.
After three thousand arrows were shot, the second round of arrow formation was ready...
