Chapter 3 Sending Father to the Battle ()

Ma Chao washed his face, cheered up and said, "Father, please let me follow you?"

Seeing that he had a persistent look on his face, and seeing that his son had just shown his wit, Ma Teng responded: "Get your weapon."

"Thank you, father." When Ma Chao heard this, he knew that Ma Teng had agreed. He hurried into the house, put on his bow and arrows on his back, picked up his spear, and came to the outer room.

Ma Teng was instructing: "Dai'er, you can take care of your younger brother and sister at home."

"Abide by the order!" Ma Dai straightened his chest and shouted like a general.

Ma Teng touched his head pitifully and said with a smile: "No, I have the spirit of being a general."

After walking out of the house, Ma Tenglai's ancestral hall where the sacrifices in the village were ringing a hanging bronze drum. This bronze drum was the signal of gathering in the village. After hearing the drum sound, the middle-aged men in the village would come here to gather.

Soon, forty-six young and middle-aged men in the village came outside the ancestral hall on time. Ma Teng briefly introduced the situation and said, "Brothers, this disaster was caused. You should not sacrifice yourself with me because you should have let you bleed and sacrificed. However, the Qiang people have always been cruel. If they come to the door, it will be difficult for the elderly and young people in the village to protect them. Therefore, for the sake of the present, we can only take action first so that we can protect the elderly and young people in the village. Please make sure to do our best."

After Ma Teng finished speaking, he bowed to everyone with a gun to show his apology and request. The men in the village have always respected Ma Teng. He would not refuse when he heard this and shouted: "I would like to listen to Brother Ma's orders and kill all the hateful foreigners."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ma Teng gave up his worries and whispered: "Time is tight, all brothers follow me."

At the entrance of the village, there was a dense forest that was easy to hide. After Ma Teng led the crowd to arrive, he immediately ordered everyone to climb up the tree pole and set off a bow and arrow to prepare. Ma Teng led fifteen people, rode horses and stood in the grass on the hillside of the left road, observing the road into the village, so as to grasp the enemy situation and take appropriate attacks.

Ma Chao followed Ma Teng and saw that he was calm and commanded properly, just like a general who had been through a long battle. His originally nervous mood calmed down. After climbing the tree pole, he picked up the longbow in his hand, looked at the mountain road from afar, and said to himself secretly: "You must not be lenient later, you must kill them all."

An hour later, the Qiang cavalry that had returned and rushed towards the mountain road. At this time, these Qiang cavalry seemed a little embarrassed, and some were riding together with two people. It was obvious that they did this because of the loss of the war horse.

Ma Teng, in the depression, looked at the Qiang Cavalry gradually moving in, and sighed and said, "You forced me, so don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing the Qiang cavalry entering the entrance of the village, Ma Tengdangji shouted: "Shoot the arrow! Kill!"

The hunters ambushed on the left and right tree poles of the road at the entrance of the village set their bows and shot arrows at the group of unprepared Qiang cavalry. The arrows flew past, and twenty or thirty people were caught in the blink of an eye. Obviously, all of these old hunters were sharp-shooters. The arrows shot under the sneak attack were extremely accurate.

When the second round of arrows was shot out, Ma Teng led his cavalry to the battlefield. He saw the spear in his hand waving. No one was unstoppable when he came out. Before the attacking Qiang cavalry could recover, most of the casualties were killed or injured. He was shocked to see Ma Teng so brave again.

Ma Chao was on the tree pole. Although he said he wanted to be more ruthless, the two arrows he shot did not hit an enemy. When he met his father Ma Teng so brave, he was inspired. He took a deep breath and looked at the force card riding on the horse. He bent his bow and took an arrow. He saw the long bow full moon, and the arrow roared out and shot on the right arm of Lika. Although he was slightly out of his correct head, he was so painful that it was so painful that it started to roar.

Seeing this, Ma Chao secretly screamed, and Zhang Gong shot several arrows in a row and shot three people to death on the spot. At this time, Ma Teng had already completely controlled the battlefield. When he was fighting Ma Teng, he was stabbed to death by Ma Teng without going on five rounds.

Which elder Hashisi would have thought of this scene? He was already shocked at the scene. Seeing Ma Teng's spear stabbed, he forgot to dodge. Ma Chao looked carefully and shouted: "Father, catch the living."

When Ma Teng heard the shout, he subconsciously withdrew his spear and shouted: "Submit to avoid death!"

The remaining twenty Qiang people, when they heard the shouts, hurriedly put down their weapons. The injured Lika was also captured alive.

After Ma Chao came down from the tree, he hurriedly said, "Father, tie them up and present them to the county government to ask them to confess so that the court can be prepared for it so that the Qiang people will rebel and harm the people of Liangzhou at that time."

"Yes, Xiaochao said it right, take them to the county government." The villagers who had won the battle shouted one after another.

Ma Teng looked at his son's eyes full of surprise. In his impression, although Ma Chao was strong and competitive since childhood, he seemed reckless and always liked to act recklessly when encountering things. However, recently Ma Chao's performance has obviously changed. His thinking and methods of dealing with things. Even his adults sometimes are not as thoughtful as he thought. Although he was surprised and suspicious, Ma Teng was still happy about his son's changes, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just do it."

When Ma Teng led the twenty young men in the village, escorted more than 20 captive Qiang people and dozens of captured war horses and weapons to the county government, he did not even expect that he would become the overlord of the side that was intimidating Liangzhou in another day.

Ma Chao also did not expect that it was because of his idea that Ma Teng officially embarked on a military career, embarked on a long journey, and embarked on the trajectory of history.

When Ma Teng went there, he never returned to the village. When he took the prisoners to the county government, the Langan County Magistrate immediately conducted a trial after hearing the news. After confirming, the county magistrate, who knew that this was a major event, immediately recommended Ma Teng's merit and ordered him to join forces with the county's servants to take the Qiang people to Tianshui County and Liangzhou Geng Bi for handling.

Langan is only one day away from Tianshui. After Ma Teng and his party arrived in Tianshui, the governor Geng Bi attached great importance to it after receiving the report. After the review, Geng Bi was shocked. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou. If they had a joint rebellion, they would not escape the blame, and even whether they could protect themselves was a question.

Geng Bi immediately summoned the county officials to discuss it. However, Geng Bi was an official and had always been greedy and appointed villains as historians. Therefore, there were many flatterers in the county, and the fundamental reason for the Qianghu rebellion was also caused by Geng Bi's exploitation policy.

In the end, his general Cheng Qiu was afraid that Geng Bi would send him to fight, so he said, "Sir, which Ma Teng is very brave, why not entrust important tasks to fight against the traitor?"

When Geng Bi heard this, he saw that the generals refused to go, so he had to say, "Come on, please ask Ma Teng."

"Ma Teng greets the governor." Ma Teng's majestic and strong physique stood in the lobby and immediately attracted Geng Bi's gaze. Geng Bi immediately praised her secretly and said, "Ma Teng, the Qiang is in chaos now, and the imperial court is working on people. Are you willing to serve the imperial court?"

Ma Teng had this idea for a long time, but he had never had the chance to get in. When he saw the governor asking, he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "I wish to listen to the orders of the lord."

"Okay, Ma Teng obeys the order, and now he is appointed as the Sima of the Liangzhou Army and commands the various troops." Geng Bi was surprisingly wise at this moment and gave Ma Teng the important task without hesitation.
