Chapter 790

"Well..."

Ma Teng looked at the letter from Matthew, but he was smiling.

"Yes."

"Does father have a way

Ma Teng nodded and ordered, "summon the military secretary."

"Here it is

After a while, a scribe came over and bowed to Ma Teng: "I don't know what General Ma has to say?"

These literati were all poor scholars. Liu Ye ruled Guanzhong and ordered them to be military secretaries. They were well paid. Therefore, many unsuccessful scholars joined the army. After all, the election system of talents in the Han Dynasty was still the system of inspection, which was the so-called "promotion of filial piety and honesty". Although it was said that it was the recommendation of outstanding local moral figures, it was generally used by the powerful families to install the children of the family. Later, Cao Cao was so miserable that no one could use him. Therefore, he issued an order to seek talents and advocated that only talents should be selected, which inevitably offended the aristocratic families.

Naturally, Liu Ye's means are not so radical. The children of the aristocratic family still need to use them. However, he should also appoint talented people from the poor families. In any case, the military power is firmly in his hands, so he directly adds them to the army.

"Come up and see if the handwriting of this letter can be imitated?"

"Respectful, the letter of the former seven people to take up the letter, to look at the small letter

"Well, then listen to Ben and change it."

Ma Teng ordered, while the clerk wrote on the side. Although Lei Tongxin said that Ma Teng led the army to attack the city, he did not express his own pressure, but asked Yan Yan to continue guarding Fuling.

However, Ma Teng said: "the number of enemy reinforcements is more than 10000, and the soldiers in the city are seriously injured when they attack Jiangzhou day and night... Please send reinforcements, otherwise Jiangzhou will be in danger."

The scribe's forehead was sweating, and his hands were full of dragons and snakes. Soon after Ma Teng finished, he was relieved.

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

MA Xiu nodded excitedly.

The next day.

The sun slowly leaped above the horizon and spread the golden light on Fuling City. Tens of thousands of troops inside and outside the city also came to life together.

The soldiers on the top of the city were on guard. Although the Liangzhou army outside the city had no plan to attack the city, they did not dare to relax.

At this time, there was a sudden uproar outside the city.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. There's a riot in the enemy barracks. I don't know what happened."

Just as the Yizhou soldiers on the top of the city talked, they saw a commotion in the Liangzhou army barracks outside the city. They were riding in the Liangzhou army barracks to kill. The armor they were wearing was obviously Yizhou army armor. When they saw this scene, the Yizhou soldiers were excited and worried about these brothers.

"Get out of here, quick!"

Three Yizhou army cavalry yelled and killed in Liangzhou army. Naturally, the Liangzhou army was angry at the three men who came to fight and killed them. However, the three Yizhou cavalry were always able to find a way out. They came out of the siege of a group of Liangzhou soldiers and rushed towards Fuling City.

Seeing the three cavalry rushing forward, the Yizhou soldiers on the head of the city can't help shouting, but the officers among them have made difficulties. Do you want to open the gate for them later? If the city gate is not opened, the three brothers will probably not go out. If they open the gate, they will be caught by the Liangzhou army.

Three Yizhou cavalry galloped to Fuling City. Some of the horses did not dare to cross the trench when they met the trench. However, at the urging of the three knights, they still crossed the trench and galloped toward Fuling City.

Without saying a word, the leading nayizhou cavalry took out their horns and rode their bows. When they aimed at the head of the city, they shot an arrow.

Whoosh!

A heavy arrow was nailed to the tower post with a letter tied to it. Then the three Yizhou cavalry turned around and left without saying a word. Naturally, the Liangzhou army did not want to let them go. They mobilized troops to catch up with them, but did not intend to let them go.

Although the Yizhou soldiers on the head of the city were worried about the life and death of the three comrades, they could not open the gate to kill them, so they could only pray in silence.

A military Marquis stepped forward and grabbed the arrow, but he could not pull it out. The arrow was very strong, so it went deep into the column. He pulled it out very hard, took down the letter above and sent it to Yan Yan in a hurry.

County Yamen in the city.

Yan Yan unfolded the letter in his hand and looked at it from top to bottom. He could not help frowning.

At this time, there was a footstep outside the hall. A black faced general rushed in. It was Wu Lan.

"General!"

Wu Lan said in a loud voice, "but did Jiangzhou write to the general? What did the letter say? "

Yan Yan nodded: "yes, Lei Xiaowei said that Ma Teng, the general of Liangzhou military town, surrounded Jiangzhou city with tens of thousands of troops. Now he is attacking day by day, and he can't hold on to it.""What?" Wu Lan naturally can't help but be surprised. Jiangzhou is an important town in Bashu. If there is any loss, the consequences will be unimaginable. Now Lei Tong has only 3000 troops in his hand. If Jiangzhou is attacked, the enemy will not only be able to join forces to attack Fuling, but even to force Chengdu.

Without enough time to think about it, Wu Lan clasped his fist and said, "please give some 3000 soldiers to a certain army. Some will kill them in Jiangzhou city at night and join forces with thunder copper."

Yan Yan frowned: "can you be competent?"

Wu Lan's character is always rash, so Yan Yan usually takes him by his side and listens to him under the tent. He is rarely allowed to lead the army on his own. Therefore, after hearing this request, she can't help frowning.

Wu Lan said in a loud voice: "there are more than ten thousand enemy troops outside Fuling City. The veteran general must guard it in person. Who should we sacrifice to rescue Jiangzhou?"

Yan Yan pondered for a while and had to say, "well, I will order you to lead 3000 troops back to Jiangzhou, but you will follow my orders, so and so, so and so... Understand?"

Wu Lan clasped his fist: "here

That night.

The Liangzhou army was full of lights, but the patrolling soldiers were slack. After all, in recent days, the Liangzhou army did not take the initiative to attack the city, and the Yizhou army in the city did not take the initiative to attack. Therefore, the two armies were at peace for a time, and the Liangzhou army was also slack.

The Liangzhou soldiers who patrolled the garrison yawned and cursed how the next group of soldiers didn't come to take over.

At this moment --

"kill!"

The two gates in the east of Fuling City suddenly opened, and the Yizhou soldiers in the city suddenly killed. The lights were out of the blue. For a moment, I didn't know how many soldiers there were. All of these Yizhou soldiers had torches in their hands, and countless torches were held high.
