Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 790

"Well..."

Ma Teng looked at the letter Matthew submitted, but smiled.

"Yes."

Ma Xiuxi said, "Is there a way for my father?"

Ma Teng nodded, and shouted: "Summon the military clerk."

"Here!"

The guards went, and a scribe came over after a while and bowed to Ma Teng, "I don't know what General Ma has to order?"

These scribes were all poor scholars. Liu Ye governed the Guanzhong and ordered the enlistment of the poor students as military clerks. The treatment was quite generous, so many unscrupulous scholars joined the army. After all, the election of talents in the Han Dynasty is still a system of prosecution, which is the so-called "exercise filial piety." Although it is said to recommend local people with outstanding morals, they are generally used by wealthy families to place children in the family, so that later Cao Cao Suffering from no one available, so an order to seek talents was issued, advocating meritocracy, which inevitably offends the noble family.

Naturally, Liu Ye's methods were not so radical. The children of the aristocracy still had to use them, but the talented people in the poor family should also be employed. Anyway, the military power was firmly in his hands, so they were directly added to the army.

"Come up and have a look. Could the handwriting of this letter be imitated?"

Ma Teng beckoned, the clerk stepped forward, respectfully picked up Thunder Tong's letter and glanced at it, then replied: "You are not talented, you should be able to imitate six or seven points."

"Well, then you can just listen to what the general said and change it."

Ma Teng gave the order, and the clerk wrote on the side. Although the Thunder Copper letter stated that Ma Teng led the army to attack the city, he did not express his pressure, but asked Yan Yan to continue to guard Fuling. .

But Ma Teng said: "The number of enemy reinforcements is more than 10,000. They attacked Jiangzhou day and night, and the city sergeants suffered heavy damage... Please be sure to send reinforcements, otherwise Jiangzhou is in danger!"

The clerk was sweating on his forehead, and his pen was scribbled. Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief shortly after he finished speaking, and finally finished writing.

Ma Teng turned to Ma Xiu and said, "You tomorrow..."

Matthew nodded excitedly.

The second day.

The sun slowly jumped above the horizon, spreading golden rays of light on Fuling City, and the tens of thousands of troops in and outside the city also awakened.

The soldiers above the city were on guard. Although the Liangzhou Army outside the city did not plan to attack the city, they did not dare to relax.

But at this moment, there was a loud noise outside the city.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, the riots in the enemy camp, I don't know what happened."

Just as the Yizhou soldiers on the top of the city were talking, there was a commotion in the Liangzhou army camp outside the city. The number of horses charged in the Liangzhou army barracks. The armor they were wearing was obviously the Yizhou army armor. When the Yizhou soldiers who saw this scene were excited, they couldn't help but feel worried for these brothers.

"Kill out, hurry!"

Three Yizhou army cavalry yelled in the Liangzhou army and charged left and right. Naturally, the Liangzhou army rushed to the battle to get angry at the trio, so they wanted to besieged. However, the three Yizhou Army cavalrymen were always able to find a way out, amidst a group of Liangzhou soldiers besieging and intercepting them, they came out abruptly and rushed towards Fuling City.

Seeing the three cavalry rushing over, the Yizhou soldiers on the front of the city couldn't help but yelled out loudly, but the officer among them was embarrassed. Would you like to open the gate for them later? If the city gate is not opened, the three brothers will most likely not be able to go out. If the city gate is opened, it would be bad if the Liangzhou army caught the opportunity.

Three Yizhou cavalry rushed over, and the horses were afraid to cross the trench, but under the urging of the three knights, they crossed the trench and rushed towards Fuling City.

The Yizhou cavalry headed by him took out his horns and rode his bow, aiming at the head of the city and shooting an arrow.

Whoosh!

I saw a heavy arrow nailed to the tower pillar with a letter tied to it. Then the three Yizhou cavalrymen turned around and left without saying a word. Naturally, the Liangzhou army refused to let them go. The mobilization of soldiers and horses chased them up, not intending to let them go.

Although the Yizhou soldiers on the front of the city were worried about the life and death of the three fellow robes, they could never open the city gate and kill them, so they could only pray silently.

A military officer stepped forward, grabbed the arrow, and pulled it hard but failed to pull it off. The arrow was very hard, so it entered the column quite deep, and finally pulled it out and took down the letter on it. , Hurried to present it to Yan Yan.

County government in the city.

Yan Yan unfolded the letter in his hand, read it from top to bottom, and couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the hall, and a black-faced general hurriedly rushed in. It was Wu Lan.

"General!"

Wu Lan said loudly, "But did Jiang Zhou write to the general? What did the letter say?"

Yan Yan nodded: "Yes, Xiaowei Lei said that General Ma Teng in the north of Liangzhou Military Town led his army to surround Jiangzhou City with tens of thousands. He is now attacking every day, and he cannot hold on."

"What?" Wu Lan naturally couldn't help being taken aback. Jiangzhou is an important town in Bashu. If there is a loss, the consequences will be disastrous. But now Lei Tong has only three thousand soldiers and horses. In case Jiangzhou is captured, the enemy can not only join forces to attack Fuling, but even force Chengdu.

Before he could think about it, Wu Lan clasped her fist and said, "Please assign the army to a certain three thousand soldiers and horses, and a certain will enter Jiangzhou City at night and join Lei Tong."

Yan Yan frowned: "You can do it?"

Wu Lan's personality has always been reckless, so Yan Yan usually takes him by her side and listens to her under the tent, and rarely allows him to lead the army alone. Therefore, after hearing this request, she inevitably frowned.

Wu Lan said loudly: "There are still more than 10,000 enemy troops outside Fuling. The old general must personally guard him and rescue Jiangzhou. Who will I be?"

Yan Yan pondered for a while, and had to say: "Well, I ordered you to send three thousand troops back to Jiangzhou to help Jiangzhou, but you all listen to me, so, so, so...understand?"

Wu Lan clasped a fist: "Here!"

That night.

The Liangzhou army was brightly lit, but the patrol soldiers were a little slack. After all, the Liangzhou army did not take the initiative to attack the city in the past few days, and the Yizhou army in the city did not take the initiative to attack, so the two armies were in peace for a while. Nothing happened, the Liangzhou army could not help but slack off.

The Liangzhou soldiers patrolling inevitably yawned, cursing why the next group of soldiers didn't come to take over.

And at this moment--

"kill!"

The two city gates in the east of Fuling City suddenly opened, and the Yizhou soldiers in the city suddenly slew out. The black lights were blazing. For a while, I didn’t know how many people there were. All of these Yizhou soldiers had torches in their hands, and there were countless torches high. lift.
