The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 814 Collusion 813
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"

In the silent night, Pang Tong was awakened by a hasty knock on the door. The moment he opened his eyes, the surroundings were still pitch black.

"Who!"

"My lord, it's me, something is wrong, Ma Chao... Ma Chao ran away!"

When Pang Tongtong heard the news, he was taken aback. He was really afraid of something. Without saying a word, he immediately jumped up from the bed, grabbed a piece of clothing, put it on, and walked straight to the door of the room. After opening the door, he saw the nervous guard standing there, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Tell me!"

"My lord, just now, Ma Chao knocked out the two strong men who were in charge of guarding him, and then knocked out the twenty elite soldiers who were in charge of monitoring his every move, and then ran away without a trace."

"Who discovered it first?" Pang Tong asked with concern.

"The soldiers on night watch passed by there, and happened to find someone lying on the ground. After waking them up, they knew that Ma Chao had escaped. Later, when the night watch soldiers went after him, they had already disappeared!"

Pang Tong frowned tightly, and the most worrying thing still appeared. With Ma Chao's superb martial arts, even if he was caught up by the pursuers, he would not be his opponent.

Fortunately, Ma Chao was alone, and no matter how powerful he was, he was no match for thousands of troops. As long as all the main roads were blocked, even if Ma Chao had great abilities, he would not be able to fly out of Yizhou.

Pang Tong immediately issued an order to block all roads. Ma Chao didn't ride a horse when he left, but only relied on his feet. I'm afraid he hasn't left the city yet, maybe he's still in Chengdu.

For this reason, Pang Tong sealed off the gates of the city and dispatched a large army to search the city. As a result, he was busy for an hour, but he didn't even see Ma Chao's shadow.

Later, the captain who was still guarding the city had sharp eyes and found a flying hook tied with a rope hanging down from the northeast corner of the city wall. Only then did he deduce that Ma Chao had left Chengdu.

At this moment, Pang Tong was like an ant on a hot pot. He sent an army out of the city to search for it. He even led the army out of the city to pursue him.

Pang Tong led the army out of the city, and the security in the city was naturally relaxed. Everyone thought that Ma Chao was outside the city, and the defense in the city was relatively weaker.But no one expected that Ma Chao just played a sloppy eye and tricked Pang Tong and others out of Chengdu. After the army left, he went to the stables to grab a war horse and stole a military uniform to wear on his body. , riding a war horse, swaggered out of the city from the city gate, and followed closely behind the team leaving the city.

Ma Chao went beyond the city of Chengdu, first followed the army for a while, and then took advantage of people not paying attention, directly slipped away and disappeared without a trace.

After escaping, Ma Chao didn't dare to walk on the main road, and even took off his military uniform. After running for a while, he felt that riding a horse was too intrusive. When the horse's physical strength was almost exhausted, he simply abandoned the horse and changed to Walking, disguised as ordinary passers-by, walked along the path, looking in the direction of Zitong.

Pang Tong led the army and was also heading towards Zitong. He knew very well that once Ma Chao left Chengdu and got rid of the control, he would definitely try to return to Liangzhou, and only there would he have a foothold.

Therefore, Pang Tong drove the army to pursue along the way, and dispersed the people to conduct a carpet search.From the night to the next morning, they found nothing, and the soldiers were exhausted.

Seeing the hard work of the soldiers, Pang Tong ordered a short rest. He was not afraid of not being able to find Ma Chao, at least he knew where Ma Chao was going, so after the rest, Pang Tong rushed to Zitong with the army, preparing to set up checkpoints along the way. , Layers of defense, Ma Chao must not be let go.

At the same time, in the bandit cottage on Daba Mountain, a general in armor swaggered inside, walked straight into the hall, and sat down majestically on the position of the owner of the cottage. The little bosses all gathered together and bowed to the general: "My subordinates will see the general!"

The general sitting as the head of the cottage is none other than Ma Dai.

Ma Dai looked around the crowd, and said with a stern face: "It's been hard these days, everyone! I'm here to thank everyone on behalf of my brother. After I bring my brother to Liangzhou, I will definitely not forget everyone's contribution!"

"What is the second general talking about? We are all under General Ma's subordinates. As long as it is for General Ma, we will not hesitate to go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire!"

Ma Dai bowed deeply to everyone, and said: "I came up to the village today to inform everyone that you have been enemies of the government and the army these days, and many brothers have been killed or injured. After arriving in Liangzhou, I, Mrs. Ma, The family will definitely thank you all, and I hope that you will not refuse at that time. In addition, I just received news that a strange thing happened in Chengdu last night. The officers and soldiers searched the city without warning. Even Pang Tong became I was very nervous. I guess, except for my brother, I really can't think of anyone who can have such a great ability to stir up the entire city of Chengdu. This also shows that my brother escaped successfully, so he will definitely Going west, now Pang Tong's attention is all on my brother, and he is ignoring you, as long as you make some noise here, try to hold back Li Yan's army, as long as Li Yan's army does not go to reinforce , I have a way to get my brother out of trouble."

"For General Ma, if you don't dare to do your best, Second General, don't worry, we will definitely complete this task, and we will definitely keep Li Yan here."

Ma Dai's eyes showed gratitude, and he said to everyone: "Please everyone."

These thieves were not all thieves, many of them were Ma Shi's confidantes arranged by Ma Dai, and they were also the hindrances that stirred up the situation in Yizhou.Its purpose is to rescue Ma Chao who is under house arrest.

Ma Dai escorted Ma Chao to Chengdu to recuperate, but he was put under house arrest as soon as he arrived in Chengdu, and Pang Tong transferred Ma Dai to Bazhong with an order to lead the army to garrison there, and arranged for him to The two armies of Li Yan and Wang Ping monitored his every move so that he would not dare to act rashly.

And Ma Dai was not an idler, so he secretly contacted those subordinates scattered among the bandits, and asked them to fan the flames and run around to fight. The officials repeatedly encircled and suppressed, but failed repeatedly.

Later, the bandit army fled to the Daba Mountain area. Due to the shortage of manpower, Pang Tong dispatched Ma Dai, Li Yan, and Wang Ping to participate in the encirclement and suppression, but the encirclement and suppression were always unsuccessful. Ghost, but there is no real evidence, and it is impossible to make a conclusion. Although Ma Dai is quite suspicious, he suffers from lack of evidence, so he just let it go.

Later, Pang Tong simply stopped fighting and left Ma Dai stationed there. Li Yan and Wang Ping were on the left and one on the right, just to monitor Ma Dai closely.

Last night, Ma Dai suddenly received a letter from Feige sent by an eyeliner installed in Chengdu. He vaguely guessed that Ma Chao was out of trouble, so he secretly went to the cottage and prepared to do a big job.

Ma Dai's path is more secretive, it is the back mountain, just behind Li Yan and Wang Ping's line of sight, and he has walked this path back and forth many times, and he has never had a problem, so there is no problem today. Be prepared, when you came down from the mountain, you didn't notice the changes in the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, Ma Dai stepped into the air, and the whole body sank first, and then something caught his feet suddenly, and he was lifted up firmly. The helmet also fell to the ground.

At this time, more than 20 people came out of the woods on both sides of the road, and two of them Ma Dai couldn't be more familiar with, they were Li Yan and Wang Ping.

He looked at Li Yan, then at Wang Ping, and then at his current situation. He had roughly figured out what was going on, and without saying a word, he let himself hang upside down in mid-air.

"General Ma, I have offended you so much, I hope you will forgive me!" Li Yan walked straight to Ma Dai's side and said with cupped hands.

"Hmph!" Ma Dai said coldly, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, don't you know? It's not been a day or two since we played games with you, but you are calm enough to show the fox's tail until today." Wang Ping said.

Ma Dai frowned, and argued: "I don't even know what you are talking about! I went up the mountain to survey the terrain, and I was going to attack the bandits from the back mountain. It's good that you came, and you actually caught me. What are you trying to do?" , Do you want to rebel?"

"I'm afraid, you are the one who rebelled! I think you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Do you think that the supervising army will not know about you colluding with these bandits and commanding them? Tell you the truth, you The supervising army knows every move, and they are just waiting for an opportunity!" Wang Ping said.

Li Yan said: "Today just happens to be this time. All your subordinates have been captured by us. Next, we will wipe out the bandits on the mountain. We are worried that there is no way to go up the mountain. It is really thanks to you that we know There is also such a secret passage."

"It turns out that Pang Tong already knew everything!" Ma Dai said in surprise.

"Do you think you can fool the supervising army with that trick of yours?" Li Yan said.

"General Li, don't talk nonsense with him. Hurry up and lead people up the mountain to eradicate that gang of bandits and clear them out. In this way, Yizhou will be stable."

"What about him?" Li Yan pointed to Ma Dai.

Wang Ping said: "The Supervising Army only asked us to capture him alive, but did not let us kill him, so we tied him up and sent someone to the Supervising Army to release him."
