Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 406 Hangu Pass drama, Wang Situ explores the wind

Ma Teng traveled to Yiyang, relying on the warrant given by Jia Xu, directly stationed in the city, which is the largest city in the southwest of Hangu Pass.

According to Yan Xing's marching speed, the opponent should have passed the Hangu Pass, so Ma Teng had to find a foothold first.

After entering the city to rest overnight, Ma Teng set off in a hurry the next day, marching towards Hangu Pass.

Half a day later, he finally came to the gate. As he expected, the gate of Hangu Pass was closed. Ma Teng sent people to shout several times, but there was no response.

This was Zhang Ning's idea. The city gate was sealed, the city was silent, no attack, no response, and under the premise that the troops below did not attack the city.

She doesn't need to respond, she doesn't need to express her identity, and she doesn't need to choose whose name to report. It is not easy for Bai Bojun to gain a good reputation, and he can't wear the hat of a rebel. After all, in name, Ma Teng belongs to Dong Zhuo. Ma Teng is blocking the court.

Seeing that there was no response from the top of the city, Ma Teng had an intuition that the situation was not very good. Maybe Yan Xing had already entered the city. This style of shutting the door silently was really similar to that of his "old friend" Yan Xing.

So Ma Teng stepped forward and shouted in person: "Yan Xing, don't pretend to be dumb, you and Wen Yue, why did you betray Dong Gong, my Liangzhou children have lost all face!"

Zhang Ning and Yang Feng heard it very clearly from the top of the city. It turned out that Ma Teng came to speak out in person. Obviously he misunderstood that Yan Xing had captured Hangu Pass. After all, according to his knowledge, it was the guarding Hangu Pass Huang Fu Song.

Yang Feng smiled from ear to ear, while Zhang Ning still looked cold and indifferent, looking like a high-ranking saint general.

No matter how funny it is, she won't laugh.

However, Zhang Ning came up with an idea, she said to Yang Feng lightly: "General Yang, if you go back to him, you will say: General Ma, General Yan has gone to Luoyang, and Han Sui's troops will arrive soon." , Since everyone is a colleague from Liangzhou, I kindly persuade you!"

When Yang Feng heard this, he took two steps forward, paused, suppressed his smile, and shouted outside: "General Ma, General Yan has gone to Luoyang, and Han Sui's troops and horses will arrive soon after. We are all colleagues from Liangzhou. I kindly advise you!"

When Ma Teng heard this, he suddenly became suspicious. Han Sui came later?He has just won Wuguan, so he still wants to pursue it?

Although he didn't really believe it, Ma Teng realized that if this was true, his soldiers and horses would be in danger of being flanked by front and back. At that time, there would be no way to go to Luoyang, and there would be no way to return to Liangzhou. Completely wiped him out.

Ma Teng was afraid for a while, and immediately ordered: "Return to Yiyang!"

Yiyang is an important town of Hongnong, if Han Sui really comes after him, he can hold on to the city.

Seeing Ma Teng's army retreating, Yang Feng was overjoyed, and said to Zhang Ning, "General Saintess is really clever, she can scare Ma Teng away with just one word."

"It's just a trick, but Ma Teng won't give up, and Yan Xing is still outside..."

When Zhang Ning mentioned this, he made another plan.

Since Ma Tengjun and Yan Xingjun are hostile to each other, and Ma Tengjun doesn't know Yan Xingjun's whereabouts, so what can be done to lure them all out, and then fight in disorder?

Zhang Ning quickly thought of an idea.

……

In the early morning, mist filled the forest, and the morning in early March was still very cold, but when the sky was bright, the farmers had already started to work in the fields.

In the new camp, Yan Xing, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened by his subordinates.

"My lord, my lord! Ma Teng's army has attacked the city!"

"What's the noise, what city is being attacked!" Yan Xing cursed habitually. After waking up, he looked at his subordinate kneeling on the ground and asked, "What happened?"

"Ma Teng's army has begun to attack Hangu Pass!"

Yan Xing sat up with a bang, his eyes widened, and he said anxiously: "Why don't you report it early! Quickly order the troops to gather!"

In Yiyang, at about the same time, Ma Teng had already gotten up to practice his sword, and Cheng Yin suddenly ran over quickly, shouting, "Brother Shoucheng! Brother Shoucheng!"

Ma Teng stood away from his sword and looked at Cheng Yin, "Ah Yin, why are you panicking!"

"The sentinel came to report that at dawn, Hangu Pass was attacked by unknown soldiers and horses. The attack was extremely fierce and they had already killed the top of the wall."

"There is such a thing! Who will it be?"

Cheng Yin shook his head, "Could it be that Master Jia has other arrangements?"

Ma Teng thought about it, Jia Xu has always been impeccable in his actions, maybe he really has a backhand, and he is not sure. He went to the gate yesterday and was rejected. The soldiers and horses took advantage of the dawn to attack suddenly and attacked the top of the city...

Ma Teng's inferences were all over the place, and he thought it was reasonable.

"Hurry up, order the cavalry to assemble. No matter who attacks Hangu Pass, I, Ma Teng, will go to help!"

"Decree!" Cheng Yin walked away quickly.

Ma Teng led [-] cavalry and rushed to Hangu Pass at full speed. In less than half a day, he saw the pass. From a distance, there was indeed a battle at Hangu Pass.

"Soldiers, follow me to support and attack Hangu Pass!" Ma Teng ordered to charge.

However, during the charge, Ma Teng saw another army, which was also full of cavalry, and was also charging towards Hangu Pass.

"Look, general, that's the flag with the word 'Yan', and that's Yan Xing's soldiers and horses!" Cheng Yin pointed at the soldiers and horses.

Ma Teng squinted his eyes and saw that it was indeed the flag with the word "Yan".

"It's Yan Xing's troops, they want to support Hangu Pass!" Cheng Yin shouted again.

Ma Teng also saw that Hangu Pass must have been attacked. After Yan Xingjun, who was stranded outside the pass, prepared to attack the siege soldiers and horses, this was a routine operation for the defense of the pass.

"The former army is attacking Hangu Pass. If it is attacked from behind, it will definitely lose. Soldiers, follow me to attack Yan Xing's rebels!" Ma Teng shouted, tilting his horse's head, and turned to attack Yan Xingjun.

Yan Xing was thinking that Ma Teng's army was attacking the city at this time, and was about to stab him in the back, when he suddenly found a soldier on the right wing coming straight towards him.

"Well, you Ma Teng, you still have this kind of preparation!" Without slowing down, he ordered: "Soldiers, Ma Teng's army is divided into two groups, trying to stop our army, follow me to kill!"

Yan Xing held a spear and rushed to Ma Teng's army first.

Ma Teng held a long knife and was in command of the Chinese army, always using words to boost morale.

Before the two armies came into contact, the Qiang and Liang cavalry began to shoot arrows freely, and the arrows flew back and forth. The main members of both sides were brave soldiers from Qiang and Liang. Also very similar.

The bows and arrows shot each other and were damaged, and then the two armies joined together. The Qiangliang people were good at using spears and spears. There was a sound of fighting for a while, and the two armies fought together, which was very similar to the tribal annexation war in Liangzhou.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhang Ning watched the battle not far away. Obviously, the plan to lure the snake out of the hole was successful, and now the two snakes strangled together.

Yang Feng was jovial at the side, grinning from ear to ear, "General, the two armies have about the same number of soldiers and horses, and their armaments are almost the same, so both sides must be hurt. In a short time, Hangu Pass can rest easy."

Ma Teng's army fought with Yan Xing's army for a while, Yan Xing's combat power was impressive, he killed several Ma Teng's cavalry in a row, and then he saw the enemy general's helmet tassel in the army, and killed him straight away.

The speed of the spear was so fast that after knocking one person into the air, it took the head of the enemy general.

Ma Teng reacted quickly, and immediately raised his knife to block it. His eyes met, and the spear was swung away with a "clang", but the two stared at each other in a daze.

"Yan Xing!"

"Ma Teng!"

The two shouted at the same time.

After shouting, the two looked around in a strange way. The cavalry were extremely brave and killed inextricably.

"Yan Xing, didn't you go to Luoyang?" Ma Teng yelled.

Yan Xing was also at a loss when he heard it, he didn't understand what Ma Teng was saying, "Stop talking nonsense, look at the spear!"

As he said that, Yan Xing stabbed Ma Teng with another spear, but Ma Teng narrowly avoided him. In Yan Xing's eyes, it was normal for Ma Teng to stop him.

On the contrary, Ma Teng became suspicious. If this was Yan Xing's army, it would not be surprising, but Yan Xing was in the army himself and did not go to Luoyang, which was very suspicious.

"Yan Xing, what are you doing, haven't you gone to Luoyang!" Ma Teng said again, hoping to establish communication with Yan Xing.

Yan Xing was furious, how could he hear him, he changed the subject and scolded: "Dong Zhuo's slave, do you still have Qiang Liang's bones? Wen Yue and I are against the imperial court, why don't you join us!"

"If you oppose the imperial court, what good will you end up with? Wang Guo, Beigong Boyu, judged again and again, which one was not suppressed by the imperial court, can't you learn a little lesson!" Ma Teng said.

"Humph! Lesson?" Yan Xing snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "The lesson we have learned is that we cannot trust the imperial court and Dong Zhuo, but you forgot that Dong Zhuo came to power by stepping on the corpse of a Liangzhou man!"

Ma Teng was speechless for a while, because he was unreasonable. He had indeed started the uprising under the banner of opposing the imperial court, and even led the rebels to almost kill Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang.

It was also after Dong Zhuo gained power that Ma Teng sought a way to talk, and used the soldiers and horses in his hands as a condition to ask for benefits from Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo did make them all generals, himself, Han Sui, Yan Xing, Cheng Yin and Cheng Yi, etc. Wait.

However, Han Sui's ambitions did not stop there. He regarded Ma Teng's behavior as rebellion, and instead cooperated with Yuan Shao to continue rebelling against the court.

"Rebellion will only bring about suppression, why don't you understand!" Ma Teng shouted, then sighed again.

Yan Xing withdrew his spear, ready for the next attack at any time, carefully guarding his surroundings.

"Compromise will only bring enslavement. After all, you are a Han Chinese. You like the Han people. After General Fubo!"

"Since you are obsessed with your obsession, then let's see the real chapter with the knife!" After saying that, Ma Teng slashed at Yan Xing again with his knife.

Yan Xing pointed his spear, hit the blade of the sword, took off the attack, and then took advantage of the situation to stab Ma Teng's chest with his spear. Several Qiangliang leaders who swore to be brothers in the past are now fighting each other with killer moves.

Ma Teng was unloaded from the blow, facing the spear poking, he could only dodge and dodge, and his whole body leaned on the horse's back.

Yan Xing pierced the air with his spear, very puzzled, so he picked it up and knocked off Ma Teng's helmet.

Ma Teng knew that force was no match for Yan Xing, and with him today, it would be impossible to attack Hangu Pass, so he wanted to retreat.

He stroked his messy long hair in some embarrassment, and said, "I won't argue with you today! Withdraw!"

Ma Teng ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the two armies began to separate from each other. Yan Xing's attack intention was always on the attacking side, and there was no entanglement.

Yan Xing then led his army to the Hangu Pass, only to find that there was nothing unusual. The besiegers were gone, the blood stains on the ground had dried up, and even the corpses under the city were left by him last time. The stench of the city, and the sound of fighting at the top of the city, also became silent.

fake!

Yan Xing suddenly realized.

He looked at the silent city with red eyes, his fists creaked, he got up early in the morning, fought with Ma Teng's army for a while, and lost hundreds of soldiers, all because of a scene under the Hangu city at the top of the city?

However, at this time, there is no way to attack again, only to leave in anger.

The subordinate approached and said: "General, do you want to tell Ma Teng about this matter? He has also been deceived. Maybe Ma Teng is angry and comes to attack the city."

Yan Xing sneered: "You think too highly of Ma Teng, that coward, how can he be willing to fight, not to mention that if he knows that I have not entered the customs, he will not be able to attack the city."

In the battle with Yan Xing's cavalry, Ma Teng's army also lost about 700 people, and because he was the first to retreat, the remaining horses were taken away by Yan Xing.

Blood loss!
On the way, he started to replay with Cheng Yin, this inexplicable battle.

"Ayin, why do you think Yan Xing is still outside the pass and not going to Luoyang?"

Cheng Yin shook his head and said: "Brother Shoucheng, it's hard to say, maybe Yan Xing received the bright message that he was stationed in Hangu instead of invading Luoyang, so he divided his troops outside to take care of each other at the pass."

"But this is still unexplainable. Why didn't he go to Luoyang? If Luoyang is safe, why would Mr. Dong be in a hurry?" Ma Teng still didn't understand.

"Shoucheng, I think it's better to write this matter into a letter and tell Mr. Wen He quickly!" Cheng Yin suggested.

Ma Teng thinks so.

"After meeting Yiyang, I will write a letter to Mr. Wenhe, and I will listen to Mr. Wenhe for the next step."

The good show ended, Zhang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, Hangu Pass should calm down in a few days, she turned and looked east, not sure how Huangfusong was doing.

Luoyang, enter Huangfu Songfu.

This is a simple courtyard, who would have thought that Huangfu Yizhen, who was once famous in the imperial court, and the Hussar General who commanded an army of [-] troops, would live in such a simple courtyard.

After Huangfusong returned to Luoyang, the wounded soldiers filled all the medical centers in Luoyang at once, and Huangfusong himself was recuperating on the couch, asking doctors to come to treat him every three days.

Huangfusong was very smart, so he didn't say anything, but these actions just reflected the fact that Hangu Pass was defeated, and the people's livelihood was in a state of turmoil, which soon alarmed the court.

After the court meeting, Wang Yun planned to visit Huangfusong in person. Even though the disparity between the two positions made this move seem inappropriate, Wang Yun couldn't care less because of the pressing situation.

Huangfu Jianshou, Huangfu Song's son, personally took Wang Yun to Huangfu Song's bed. On the way, Huangfu Jianshou suddenly knelt down and begged, "Forgive me, Situ Wang. When my father returned to the city, he was only heaving a sigh of relief. After consulting with famous doctors from all sides, I just breathed a sigh of relief for my father. I know that Wang Situ came to ask questions, and Jian Shou begged Wang Situ to ask less questions. I can’t speak in a humble position, and I hope Wang Situ will be considerate of his filial piety!”

Wang Situ sighed, stepped forward to help Huangfu Jianshou, and said: "I only ask one question, and Yizhen must tell it in person!"

When the two came to Huangfu Song's bed, Wang Yun looked at Huangfu Song with pale hair and pale face. Who would have imagined that a year ago, he was still the most dignified general in the court.

"Father, Wang Situ is here." Huangfu Jianshou said softly to the couch.

"I'm seriously injured, I can't show respect, Situ forgive me!" Huangfu Song was so angry that he might die at any moment.

"Yizhen, I just want to ask, has Hangu Pass been lost?" Wang Yun asked.

"Of course!" Huangfu Song said.
