The last three kingdoms

Chapter 718 Want to go?no way!
Magron was indeed in a hurry. Not only were the bulky and bulky supplies discarded, but even the grain and grass were only about five or six days’ rations per person, and the rest of the grain and grass were all thrown in the camp. among.

However, Ma Gelong didn't feel too distressed. Anyway, the food and grass were provided by the Lushuihu people, and the amount was not too much, which could only meet the needs of the Malanqiang people for half a month.

This is undoubtedly a means for the Lushuihu people to control the Malan Qiang people. The food and grass provided by Peng Hu to Ma Gelong's troops can only meet the needs of half a month. Once Ma Gelong has different ideas, Peng Hu can cut off the food and grass at any time Supplies put Magron in a desperate situation.

Thinking of this, Magron snorted coldly, presumably Peng Hu had already plotted against him from the very beginning, the so-called brother was just a joke, in Peng Hu's eyes, Magron was a day and night guard It's just a thief to guard against, and Magron leaves now, and he has nothing to love.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the Lushuihu people, Ma Gelong deliberately did not take the main road, but chose a relatively remote path, walking southeast along the Jingshui River Valley.Ma Gelong had already found out beforehand that the Qi Wannian Department was gathering on the north bank of the Weihe River, crossing the Wei River by force, and preparing to attack Chang'an.

However, compared to the main road, this small road is much more bumpy. Not to mention the narrow road, it is also full of potholes and twists and turns. Although most of the Malan Qiang people are cavalry, due to the limited road conditions, they cannot increase their speed at all.

Magron was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, compared with taking the avenue, taking the trail was much more low-key, less ostentatious, and relatively speaking, safer.However, news of the escape of the Malan Qiang people would definitely reach Peng Hu's ears, and Peng Hu would definitely send troops to chase them. If the Malan Qiang people walked too slowly, they would be overtaken by Lu Shuihu's cavalry sooner or later.

Ma Gecheng, who was standing in the front, suddenly rode his horse back and came straight to Ma Gelong, and hurriedly said: "Brother, there is a garrison point for Lu Shuihu's people ahead, and there are thousands of people."

Ma Gelong's heart tightened. He was really afraid of what would come. It turned out that this was a checkpoint that Peng Hu had set up earlier to prevent the Shu people from outflanking. It is also very difficult to break through in a short period of time.

"Brother, what should we do?" Ma Gecheng said anxiously. Although there are not many Lushuihu people stationed at this checkpoint, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is a fight, the Malan Qiang people may not be able to win this checkpoint quickly. , and once the army of Lu Shui and Hu is alarmed, it may be difficult to leave.

Ma Gelong is relatively calm. Presumably at this time, the garrison at this level does not know the true intentions of the Malan Qiang people, so Ma Gelong decided to be fooled first.

Magron himself rode his horse to the front of the checkpoint, and said loudly: "The general who guards the checkpoint, can you come out and speak?"

The person in charge of guarding the checkpoint was a commander of Lu Shuihu. When he saw Ma Gelong, he stretched out his head and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"It is Ma Gelong, the leader of Malan Qiang, under the order of King Peng, he detoured here to pursue the Shu people, and asked the general to make a way out, so as not to delay the military situation." Ma Gelong said calmly.

The commander actually knew who Ma Gelong was, but he was guarding here, naturally he was ordered by Peng Hu, so he said: "Since the king sent him, is there a military order?"

Ma Gelong said: "The Shu army just withdrew today, and a certain one also obeyed the verbal order of King Peng. He dared not delay the slightest and was in a hurry to march, so he didn't get the military order. The general can send someone back to the Jingyang camp to verify, but if there is a delay In order to pursue the military affairs of the Shu army, only the general himself and King Peng can explain it."

The commander could not help being a little hesitant, although he said that he led the troops to garrison here under the order of Peng Hu, and without Peng Hu's order, he was not allowed to let go, but Magron's words were convincing, but he couldn't believe it. I'm afraid I can't afford to be guilty of delaying the pursuit of the enemy because of him.

So the commander thought for a while, ordered his subordinates to open the gate of the village, and said: "Since Chief Ma has important tasks, let's go out first."

Ma Gelong laughed, and Lu Shuihu Bing opened the gate of the village alone, and could rush out in one breath.

But at this moment, a group of men and horses rushed out of a fork on the right side, coming very fast, billowing up waves of dust and smoke, the leading general was Peng Hu's trusted general Peng Dangzhong, He saw that the commander had sent someone to open the gate of the village, and shouted from a distance: "Wait a minute!"

Ma Gelong was startled, and those Lushuihu people also stopped their movements. Peng Dangzhong quickly rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, and sneered at Ma Gelong: "Want to leave? No way!"

The number of people brought by Peng Dangzhong was not a small number. He rushed to the front of the checkpoint from another road, and immediately blocked the road in front of the checkpoint.

Magron pretended to be astonished and said, "General Peng, you... what do you mean?"

Peng Dangzhong sneered and said, "I would like to ask, what do you mean, Chief Ma?"

"I heard that the Shu people fled overnight, so I didn't have time to report to the king, so I set up troops to chase them, lest the Shu people escape too far and catch up." Ma Gelong must have prepared a set of words, and it is up to Ma Gelong to believe it or not. Decided.

Peng Dangzhong continued to sneer and said, "It turns out that the horse leader was chasing the enemy? It's just that the Shu people fled to Linjing in the east. Instead of pursuing east, the horse leader went southeast. When will the chief catch up to Liu Yin?"

Magron was at a loss for words, but he would not be easily defeated by words. "General Peng didn't know that Liu Yin withdrew his troops, how could he be unprepared? This time, I made a detour from the southeast to avoid the defense of the Shu people. Now that Linjing City is completely empty, it is a good time for us to advance. If you attack in a roundabout way, you will definitely win a big victory."

Peng Dangzhong is an important confidant of Peng Hu's side, and he is familiar with the inside story, so he doesn't believe Magron's far-fetched explanation at all. He held up Peng Hu's warrant aloft, and said coldly: "Your Majesty has an order, quickly summon the horses. The leader is here to meet you, how about it, Chief Ma, why don't you follow me back to meet the king?"

Ma Gelong was worried. It was obvious that Peng Dangzhong was not on the same level as the commander. It was a simple matter to fool the commander, but if he wanted to fool Peng Dangzhong, he would have no chance at all. Go see Peng Hu at this moment. , will be charged with running away, and he will not even know how he died.

Now, Magron had no choice but to fight his way through.
