Robbers in the martial arts world

Chapter 423 The Strong Ma Teng

Zhongping 11 years.

Xiao Yun finally captured the entire Jizhou, Yuan Shao was forced to retreat to Qingzhou, and Cao Cao retreated to Yanzhou.

So far, among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, Xiao Yun has already occupied the four prefectures of Bingzhou, Sizhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou. As long as he takes Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Liangzhou, the entire north will be unified!

At the beginning of June, Cao Cao welcomed back the emperor and officials from Yuan Shao, built a palace in Xudu, and announced it to the world.

In order to thank Cao Cao for his loyalty to the great man, the emperor Liu Xie canonized Cao Cao as prime minister and sealed the world under Cao Cao's instruction.

Canonize Yuan Shao as General, canonize Ma Teng as Liangzhou Shepherd, canonize Sun Ce as Yangzhou Shepherd...

But as for Xiao Yun's canonization, it was just a Bingzhou shepherd, and the canonization of Youzhou, Sizhou, and Jizhou was given to others, and Xiao Yun was ordered to withdraw from Youzhou, Sizhou, and Jizhou.

Obviously, this is Cao Cao's intention to restrict Xiao Yun's expansion through this method, to suppress Xiao Yun with righteousness, and to make Xiao Yun an enemy of all the princes in the world.

It's just that Xiao Yun would care about the puppet emperor in Cao Cao's hands!Directly approaching Qingzhou and Yanzhou with heavy troops, they wanted to destroy Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

This shocked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and immediately united with Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Ma Teng of Liangzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Gongsun Du of Liaodong and others, and deployed heavy troops, which forced Xiao Yun not to dare to take action easily.

And it just so happened that Xiao Yun needed to consolidate the territory in his hands and needed to rectify it. Just like that, the world fell into a temporary calm, but everyone knew that this calm would not last long!

……

Zhongping 12 years.

Xiao Yun sent Zhao Zilong to lead an army of 60 to attack Liangzhou, with Jia Xu as the military adviser, and wanted to take down the entire corridor of the Western Regions.

Zhang He was sent to lead an army of 40 to attack Liaodong, and Xu Shu was the military adviser, wanting to completely solve the future troubles in the north.

Since Liangzhou and Liaodong had been completely separated by Xiao Yun, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others could not help Xiao Yun's strong attack unless they were willing to start a full-scale war with Xiao Yun.

The total strength of Xiao Yun, who owns the land of the four states, has reached more than 300 million, and they are all elite troops. With the help of Longyami, Renyuandan, Jingyuandan and a large number of exercises, the strength of the soldiers has doubled.

Ordinary soldiers of the princes were no match for the Bingzhou army at all, so Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others could only watch Xiao Yun attack Ma Teng and Gongsun Du, but they were powerless and unable to help.

……

Liangzhou, Tianshui City.

Looking at the Bingzhou army approaching the city, Ma Teng looked solemn. He never thought that Xiao Yun would send troops to Liangzhou after resting for less than a year!

Originally, Ma Teng didn't pay much attention to Xiao Yun, but when Zhao Zilong led an army of 60 to arrive, after several battles, Ma Teng's proud Liangzhou iron cavalry was defeated and suffered a lot of losses. Lost several cities in a row!

"This Xiao Yun doesn't know how to train soldiers! Each of his soldiers is as strong as our Tiger Cavalry!" Ma Teng frowned and sighed helplessly.

"Father, I do know a little bit about this! I heard from a classmate of Bingzhou Academy that Xiao Yun obtained a kind of spiritual rice called Longya rice from somewhere. Long-term consumption of this spiritual rice can improve the physique of warriors and make them more healthy." Body Tempering Realm fighters have a stronger foundation, can easily break through the realm, and their strength has greatly increased, and Xiao Yun has also developed several pills, which have been widely used, so their soldiers are so strong!"

Ma Yunlu didn't know when he came to the city wall, and said to his father Ma Teng leisurely.

"Lu'er, why are you here? It's too dangerous here! Hurry up and go back!" Ma Teng couldn't help scolding when he saw his little daughter came to the city wall.

"Father, my current strength is no worse than that of the generals under your command, why don't you worry about it!" Ma Yunlu said dissatisfied.

She stayed in Bingzhou Academy for two years, and not only did her martial arts practice break through to the Wuqi Chaoyuan realm, but she also learned a lot of military art, although it was only limited to books.

"Hey, well, Lu'er, I have also heard about the dragon tooth rice and several kinds of elixirs you mentioned, but I didn't expect that the effect of these things is really so great, and it has already opened up the gap between Xiao Yun and us. The gap!" Ma Teng sighed.

"Father, these things require strong financial resources. Why don't you rely on Xiao Yun?" Ma Yunlu looked at his father puzzled.

"Hmph, you forgot that we are the descendants of General Fubo Ma Yuan, how could we do something that would offend our ancestors!" Ma Teng's expression changed, and he severely reprimanded Ma Yunlu.

"Humph!"

Ma Yunlu snorted aggrievedly and left, but Ma Chao's expression flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking!
In the middle of the night, Ma Teng decided to launch a night attack on the Bingzhou Army.

Taking advantage of the night, Ma Teng, Ma Chao and several generals led the Liangzhou iron cavalry into the Bingzhou camp.

For a moment, the flames shot up into the sky, the sound of horseshoes was deafening, and the camp of the Bingzhou army was in a state of disarray, but Ma Teng who rushed in had an ugly face. He found that there were not many soldiers in the Bingzhou camp, and most of them were pretending to be scarecrows , and there are many traps.

"Chao'er, run away, we've been fooled!" Ma Teng yelled at Ma Chao who was not far away.

"Father, retreat together!" Ma Chao also realized that he had been fooled, and replied to his father, and immediately led the cavalry to rush out.

Rumble!
The sound of rumbling horseshoes came from all around the barracks. Ma Teng and Ma Chao couldn't bear to think about it, and immediately retreated towards Tianshui City.

After evading the rain of arrows from the Bingzhou Army, Ma Teng and Ma Chao finally escaped after some fighting, but they also suffered heavy losses, losing almost half of their troops.

It's a pity that Ma Teng was fooled again. Under Jia Xu's guidance, Zhao Zilong arranged an ambush on Ma Teng's way back to Tianshui City, so that Ma Teng could be taken down with minimal losses!
"Ma Teng, wherever he escapes, just obediently grab him!"

When Ma Teng and Ma Chao fled to a canyon in embarrassment, countless archers immediately appeared on the surrounding cliffs. Zhao Zilong led a cavalry to intercept the canyon, looked at Ma Teng and shouted.

"Okay Zhao Zilong, this time the old man was careless, but it's impossible to let the old man be caught without a fight!" Ma Teng snorted coldly, holding a big knife, and was about to go up and fight Zhao Zilong desperately.

"General Shoucheng, please stop, don't you just abandon these subordinates!" Zhao Zilong pointed at the Liangzhou iron cavalry behind Ma Teng, and raised his voice to Ma Teng.

"Hmph, can't you just let them go with good intentions? My Ma family army has no cowards, so don't expect us to surrender!" Ma Teng shouted vigorously.

"General Shoucheng, I know your loyalty to the big man, but have you considered your children? Have you considered your soldiers? They are all old and young, and they are the pillars of the family. You Just bear them to sacrifice with you!" Zhao Zilong stared at Ma Teng with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Zilong's words shocked Ma Teng's whole body, the big knife in his hand fell slowly, and he lost his desperate spirit all of a sudden!

"Father……"

"General, we are not afraid of death, we will fight them!"

Ma Chao and all the soldiers behind him knelt down on the ground and shouted at Ma Teng.

"Hey, I'm too selfish, you all have to live well."

Ma Teng looked back at the many soldiers under his command with a look of shame, then looked at Zhao Zilong, and raised his voice with a look of death:
"General Zhao, I will leave my son and these soldiers to you. I, Ma Teng, will serve the big man again in my next life!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Teng drew out the sword at his waist like lightning, and wiped it at his neck.

He intends to commit suicide to prove his loyalty to the big man and to maintain the honor of his ancestors.
