Chapter 199 Undercurrent Surges

"Hahaha, that doesn't have to be the case. You are so young, and someone with a gun in your hand is considered invincible. How about we fight again when you grow up?"

Liu Ye admired this little Ma Chao very much, and couldn't help smiling.

Ma Chao nodded his head, believing it was true, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, we'll fight for another 300 rounds in the future."

Liu Ye smiled at Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, Lin'er has a solid foundation in martial arts, and he will definitely be a fierce general in the battlefield in the future."

Ma Teng said ashamedly: "The dog has a reckless personality, how can he be a fierce general."

Ma Xiu, who was hiding behind him, said: "Father, General Liu said that the eldest brother is a fierce general, and you are still the commander of the army. General Liu must be right."

Seeing this, Ma Tie nodded, and Ma Teng looked embarrassed: "You two bastards"

Liu Ye and Zhang Jai both laughed. Ma Chao, who was laughing, was a little embarrassed. He was just a boy in his early ten years old. Although his ancestor was General Fubo, he had already declined in Ma Teng's generation. Otherwise, would Ma Teng be just a military commander?

In fact, Ma Teng was just a military marquis in the Wuwei County army. Later, when Geng Bi came to Wuwei County, he saw Ma Teng's outstanding martial arts skills and was good at arranging troops, so he was promoted to be a military commander.

Now that he was praised by Anxi Zhonglang, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"Brother Shoucheng, how about I go in and talk about it in detail?"

Hearing what Liu Ye said, Ma Teng nodded hastily, and then said to Ma Chao: "Bring your two younger brothers in, I have something to say to my father and General Liu."

Xiao Machao nodded, and took the little hands of Matthew and Ma Tie from left to right, and the three brothers walked into the house.

Ma Teng invited Liu Ye to enter, and then sat down separately.

Liu Ye cut to the chase and said, "Brother Shoucheng, what do you think of Governor Geng's recruitment order?"

Ma Teng frowned: "Inspector Geng may have acted too hastily, but Liangzhou soldiers and horses have always been brave and good at fighting, and they may not necessarily lose to the Qiang people."

Since ancient times, the truly powerful armies are the central army and the frontier army. The central army is well-equipped and can win as long as it is led by experienced generals.

On the other hand, the frontier army has been fighting against foreign races all year round and has rich combat experience. For example, Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong once overwhelmed Yuan Shao who occupied Jizhou, and it was not relieved until after the Jieqiao battle.

Xiliang iron cavalry is synonymous with a strong army. Dong Zhuo relied on Liangzhou iron cavalry to fight against the Kwantung heroes alone, and later Ma Chao defeated Cao Cao repeatedly in the six battles of Weishui in Tongguan, shocking the world.

Sure enough, although Ma Teng was a fierce general, his mind was indeed simple. Otherwise, he would not have entered Xuchang with his family and was killed by Cao Cao.

In Ma Teng's eyes, the key to victory lies in military strength and food, but it is difficult to understand other factors.

Liu Ye didn't say much, but told Ma Teng, "It's understandable that Governor Geng wanted to make contributions, but Shoucheng's best advice is to persuade Governor Geng more."

Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that General Liu thought our Liangzhou army would be defeated?"

Liu Ye sighed: "The Qiang soldiers have always been brave and good at fighting and have a large number of people. How can Governor Geng fight against the Qiang people with newly recruited soldiers, how can they be undefeated?"

Ma Teng frowned and said: "Inspector Geng wanted to regain Liangzhou, although he was a little too hasty, but it is understandable."

Liu Ye tapped his finger on the table lightly: "The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. According to Geng Governor, there are 20,000 to 30,000 newly recruited soldiers in several counties. This doubles the food and grass of the Liangzhou Army, and most of the newly recruited soldiers are Tian Zhong is strong and laborious, so this year's grain production will definitely decrease, and our army will be defeated if there is no fight."

Ma Teng frowned and remained silent.

Liu Ye stood up and said, "Inspector Geng thinks highly of Brother Shoucheng. This is a good thing. Brother Shoucheng can find an opportunity to persuade Inspector Geng, and maybe he can dispel his thoughts."

Jincheng County, on the tenth day of February, the night is ugly.

Under the curfew, the streets were extremely empty at night, and there were no pedestrians, but in the darkness, there was a burst of friction and collision, and only a small team slowly walked out of the darkness, and at the corner of the street there was It was one person who came out.

The leader of the team was wearing leather armor, holding the handle of the knife at his waist, and said to the person who met him: "How is the defense of the general's mansion?"

"Don't worry, the guards in the mansion are unsuspecting and exhausted."

The soldier sneered, "That's great!"

"Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou have been defeated repeatedly, but our generals have repeatedly made military exploits. How can this group of people deserve to lead us?"

"That's right, as long as tonight's affairs are completed, the 100,000 troops will be under the command of your lord."

At this time, teams of soldiers gathered outside the General's Mansion, ready to go.

The four guards guarding the gate of the General's Mansion were a little sleepy, and one guard couldn't help but yawned.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, four crossbow arrows were sent out from the secret. Before the four guards guarding the door could react, they were hit by the crossbow arrows and fell to the ground slumped.

Seeing that he succeeded, the soldier in the lead couldn't help showing excitement, and he turned his head and let out a low growl.

"Successful, kill in!"

Hundreds of soldiers received the signal to launch a general attack, and immediately rushed forward and poured into the general's mansion.

Jincheng County was the stronghold of the rebel army, but Beigong Boyu never expected to encounter rebels in the nest, so the guards arranged by the general's mansion were only dozens of people.

The four guards at the gate were shot to death by crossbow arrows, which naturally alarmed the guards in the mansion, but who would have thought that hundreds of soldiers from outside would swarm in, so it was naturally difficult to resist.

Especially the armored soldier at the head was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable, with a spear in his hand, killing from left to right, and no guard could go through three rounds under his hands.

Seeing that he couldn't resist these unknown soldiers, a guard hurriedly stumbled into Beigong Boyu's room.

"My lord, my lord!"

Beigong Boyu who was woken up frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you in such a panic?"

"General, get up and get dressed and go. There are people wearing armor from our army coming in. I don't know who it is."

What?

Beigong Boyu was taken aback, and hurriedly slipped down from the couch, put his feet on his shoes, and put on a long robe casually.

At this time, the shouts of killing became closer and closer, and heavy footsteps sounded.

The guard was loyal, grabbed the sword and rushed out, turned around and shouted: "General, go!"

"Hmph! Where are you going?" A black spear thrust out suddenly, stabbing the guard's heart with one move. The visitor put his foot on the guard nonchalantly, pulled out his spear, and walked slowly into it, revealing a cold face under the dim moonlight.

Beigong Boyu was stunned: "Yan Xing?"
