Chapter 271

Wuwei County, guzang city.

"Shoucheng, Shoucheng." A scholar of letters frowned and walked quickly into the Liangzhou army camp outside guzang city. Liu Ye was on the expedition. In addition to the new recruits from all over the country, only the ten thousand soldiers of Ma Teng's headquarters were elite in the hundred battles. Therefore, this scholar of letters came to Ma Teng in a hurry.

Ma Teng sat in the tent and heard the cry outside the tent. He could not help looking out of the tent curiously.

"Who?"

"Brother Shou Cheng, it's me."

Ma Teng takes a close look at Cheng Gongying. He originally joined the army under Han Sui's account. He was very resourceful. After Han Sui's defeat, Cheng Gongying had nowhere to go. Just as Ma Teng appreciated his talent, he invited Cheng Gongying to serve as a military counselor.

"Brother Cheng, what can I do for you?"

Cheng Gongying's face was dignified: "brother Shoucheng, the Qiang people are rebellious!"

"What?" Ma Teng was surprised, and then he said angrily, "isn't Zhou Mu letting them go? How can these Qiang people be so ungrateful? They really go too far. "

Cheng Gongying shook his head: "it's not the Qiang people who were released by the state herdsmen to make a rebellion, but Huangzhong Hu doesn't know why, and starts to rebel."

Huangzhong Hu was originally a military force of the Han Dynasty, similar to today's foreign Corps. As a pawn of the Han Dynasty, it awed the western region. Beigong Boyu, who was in Liangzhou at that time, was born in yiconghu of Huangzhong.

Huang Zhongyi had the professional nature of the army. Once the rebellion was successful, it would shake the rule of the Han Dynasty in Liangzhou.

Ma Teng frowned, thought for a while, and said, "brother Cheng, you go to check the grain, grass and weapons. From a certain point on, 8000 elite soldiers will set out. The fight against the rebellion is determined to be quick. Otherwise, it will be bad for these huangzhongyi to succeed from Hu."

Cheng Gongying nodded: "so I will go to prepare."

Not half an hour later, the gate of the camp outside guzang city opened, and eight thousand elite soldiers swept out of the camp and headed north.

In the middle of the city, there is a horse.

Ma Teng's wife sat quietly at home, and her heart was a little strange: my husband should have been back at this time in the past. Why hasn't he seen a person yet? Perhaps it's the busy affairs in the army, Mrs. Ma comforted herself.

"Mother, hasn't father come back yet?"

Young Ma Chao walks out of the courtyard and shouts to Madame ma. Ma Chao is 15 years old this year. He is nearly seven feet in stature. His face is as white as jade. If you don't look at that young face, you may think he is a man of high age.

Madame Ma waved and motioned Ma Chao to come to her: "not yet. Your father is probably busy in military affairs. Is Chao Er hungry? And come and have some cooked food. "

Ma Chao shook his head: "my child is not hungry. I'd better wait until my father comes back."

The mother and son sat for a while and chatted, and the sound of horses' hooves outside the mansion suddenly rang out.

"Madame! Since Huang Zhongyi rebelled against Hu, Ma Xiaowei has personally gone to lead the troops to fight the rebellion. Mr. Cheng Gong has sent someone to tell his wife that there is no need to wait for Ma Xiaowei. " A knight jumped off his horse and reported.

Madame Ma frowned: "Huang Zhongyi from Hu..."

"Yes, ma'am."

"What? Dad went to war, why didn't he take the baby with him? Even Zhou Mu and uncle Jun Yi praised the boy's shooting skills. " Ma Chao was disappointed when he heard that Ma Teng was leading his troops to war. He felt sorry that he had not been able to participate in it.

"Shut up, you little boy. What do you know about leading soldiers to war? Did you go to make trouble for your father? " Madame Ma heard Ma Chao's words and immediately reprimanded her.

"Niang, my child is really successful in learning. I don't believe you." Ma Chao was not satisfied. He was 15 years old. Ganluo of Qin State worshipped the prime minister at the age of 12. However, Ma Chao did nothing at the age of 15.

"Ask your brothers to come over for dinner." Madame Ma had a calm face and said to the knight who reported the news: "it's hard for you. Please get some rewards and go back to have a rest."

"Hum!"

Hearing Madame Ma's rebuke, Ma Chao walked into the back row house and yelled, "brother Xiu, brother tie, brother Dai, come out to eat."

When Ma Xiu and Ma tie heard their elder brother's call, they rushed out of the house without even looking at the elder brother and ran straight to the main room.

But Ma Dai was older and calmly walked to Ma Chao: "brother, let's go."

Ma Chao nods and walks into the main room with Ma Dai. At the table, Ma Chao mentioned to Madame Ma that he wanted to go to the Mateng army. However, Ma Chao was reprimanded by Madame Ma for a while, looking gloomy and unable to eat.

Finally, in the afternoon, Ma Chao couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Dad leads the army, why don't you use your son?"

Ma Dai comforted him: "the war is in danger. Uncle is worried about what happened to my brother. Besides, you and I are still young. It's better to practice martial arts at home."

Ma Chao shook his head: "no, I have to help my father this time. Since my mother won't let me go, I will go secretly."

Ma Dai a Leng: "secretly go?"

"Follow me." Ma Chao waved his hand and strode forward. Ma Dai didn't know what Ma Chao was going to do, but he quickly followed up.There was a burst of laughter in the backyard. Ma Xiu and Ma tie two children were holding on to each other happily, but Ma Chao stopped them.

"Xiudi, Tiedi, you two come here."

When Ma Xiu and Ma tie heard Ma Chao's voice, they immediately ran over and stood in front of Ma Chao.

"Brother, what can I do for you and me?"

Ma Chao stares at his two younger brothers and puts his hands around the back of their heads respectively: "brother Xiu, brother tie, Huang Zhongyi rebelled from Hu. My father leads the army to fight against the rebellion. He is determined to help his father, but his mother certainly won't let him go. Today, don't tell your mother, just say it a few days later, OK?"

Ma Xiu clapped his hands and laughed: "well, big brother helps dad fight, and Xiu'er also wants to go."

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "you two are too young. In a few years, you'll have a good practice of family gun skills. My brother will take you there."

"All right."

See two younger brothers agreed to come down, Ma Chao is very happy, and then with Ma Dai secretly slipped into the horse's warehouse.

There are more than a dozen pieces of armor in the warehouse, each of which is well preserved. Ma Chao and Ma Dai choose one of them. They are young. Although they are slightly thin, they are barely suitable.

Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao and envied him: "brother, you are so beautiful in armor."

I saw Ma Chao with a silver armor, a lion's gold helmet on his head, and his handsome face. He was really a young general with red lips and white teeth.

Ma Chao didn't like it: "let's go. Dad can't do it in half a day. You and I will catch up."

After that, Ma Chao and Ma Dai led dozens of soldiers to gallop out of the city. Dozens of them rode to the outside of the city and left the city in the north.
