Chapter 4: Marten's Worries


"My lord, the young master has defeated the broken Qiang bandits and is now on his way back."

In the Chencang camp, Ma Teng sat in the main hall with his brows furrowed.

The report of this order made Ma Teng feel a little happy, but also a little confused.

"Chaoer really only led the criminal cavalry battalion, and he really caught up with the bandits and returned with a great victory."

"But not only that, the young master also rescued the captured people.

Now, the whole Chencang knows the reputation of the young general."

The messenger's face became even more happy, and he hurriedly explained the situation.

The stirrups were so miraculous that they not only gave knights more endurance to run, but also greatly increased their combat capabilities.

At this time, Ma Teng already believed his own son's words.

However, this news was really hard to digest.

Therefore, Ma Teng asked cautiously: "Where is Chao'er at this time?"

"The young master has passed through Fufeng County and will be back tomorrow."

The messenger replied, and after thinking for a while, he added: "The main reason is that the young master has integrated the more than a thousand Qiang prisoners, so the return journey is a little slower."

"Recruiting" Ma Teng couldn't help but frown again: he knew his son too well.

Ma Chao had been very independent and aloof since he was a child, and he even admired and used sharp methods to kill and establish his power.

But this time, he didn't slaughter all the prisoners as usual "When Chao'er comes back tomorrow, ask him to come see me immediately."

Ma Teng is also a hero of the generation, and he immediately made a correct decision on this matter.

"Nuo" ordered him to leave.

Before leaving, he still saw Ma Teng's look of confusion.

In fact, Ma Teng has been really worried and upset recently.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that Ma Teng is now in a very confused stage: Today, Ma Teng, with his continuous bloody battles, has already established a relatively small force.

In troubled times, the situation in Xiliang is constantly changing.

At this time, Ma Teng is in a difficult transition period.

Ma Teng's ancestor was Ma Yuan, General Fubo of the Han Dynasty.

His father once served as captain of Tianshui Langan, but later lost his official position and stayed in Longxi.

He married a Qiang girl and gave birth to Ma Teng.

When Ma Teng was young, he was poor and had no property.

He often cut wood from Zhangshan Mountain and carried it to the city to sell it to support himself.

It was this young experience that made Ma Teng accustomed to the warmth and coldness of the world, and he also developed an ambition to change his destiny.

When Ma Teng grew up, he was more than eight feet long, with a big body, a majestic face and nose, but a kind and gentle personality.

In addition, for his martial arts skills, people in the surrounding counties admired him.

In 187 AD, the fourth year of Zhongping, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, trusted a traitor, which led to the rebellion of the Didao Kingdom and the Di, Qiang and other ethnic minorities.

The prefectures and counties recruited warriors to suppress the rebellion.

Ma Teng applied for the army and was valued by state and county officials.

He was appointed as a military officer and commanded the troops.

After serving in the battle, he was promoted to army commander.

If this situation continues smoothly, Ma Teng may be able to gain a career with his martial arts and control.

It's a pity that Ma Teng was born in troubled times Geng Bi was a mediocre and inactive man who loved great achievements.

Geng Bi was afraid that Ma Teng was too powerful and difficult to control, so he allowed Cheng Qiu, a petty official, to make profits.

Ma Teng was upright and virtuous, and could not bear oppression.

The two clashed frequently.

After Li Xiangru, the governor of Longxi, and Huang Yan, the governor of Jiuquan, rebelled and made peace with Han Sui, the Tieqiang ally, Ma Teng finally took advantage of the situation and defected to Han Sui with his men.

Soon, Geng Bi was killed by his men.

Han Sui and others elected Wang Guo as their commander-in-chief, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and caused rebellion in Sanfu.

In other words, Ma Teng has since embarked on a road of rebellion with no return.

Ma Teng never thought about how long he could go on the road of rebellion, because at that time, although Ma Teng had ambitions and honed his abilities in fighting, he had no chance to exact revenge.

When the Later Kingdom besieged Chencang, Emperor Ling sent General Huangfu Song of the Left to supervise former General Dong Zhuo with 20,000 men each to reject the attack.

After the kingdom besieged Chencang for more than eighty days, the city was firmly entrenched and could not be taken out.

Huangfu Song advanced his troops to attack him, causing Dong Zhuo to resist him.

He defeated the kingdom in a series of battles and beheaded more than ten thousand people.

After this battle, Han Sui had no choice but to abolish the kingdom, and robbed Yan Zhong, a famous scholar from Hanyang and Xindu, who ordered him to supervise various tribes.

However, his loyalty and shame were threatened by the public, and he soon died of illness.

When Yan Zhong died, the rebels were immediately leaderless.

Ma Teng, who was gradually emerging, finally saw his opportunity to settle down and show his ambitions.

He tried his best to gather many remnants of the rebels, fought against Han Sui, and fought endlessly.

It was at this time that Ma Teng finally began to lead an army on his own, and as a thief not recognized by the times, he began to move forward difficultly in troubled times.

However, Han Sui was the leader of the Iron Qiang Alliance after all, and he had the support of the Qiang and Hu people behind him.

Although Ma Teng is capable, he is just working hard.

Such foreign troubles made Ma Teng walk on thin ice, always worried about his future plans.

But at this moment, his son Ma Chao, whom he had always been proud of, suddenly became weird and abnormal.

Ma Teng only remembered that more than half a month ago, Ma Chao looked abnormal when he woke up.

Not only did he talk about traveling to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, he was not a mess, he was sorry for his predecessors, etc., he also swaggered around with some weird things.

Ma Teng was helpless and urgently asked the witch doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment.

A few days later, although Ma Chao had recovered, his words and deeds were no longer what they used to be.

Ma Teng didn't want to worry too much, but after all, Ma Chao was his son, and even Xiliang's hope for the future.

But when Ma Teng saw Ma Chao again, he found that his son had hired hundreds of blacksmiths to build stirrups day and night.

Ma Teng was furious and scolded Ma Chao sharply, but Ma Chao actually said that this thing could make it easier for the cavalry to maintain physical strength on horseback, run long distances, stabilize the center of gravity, and enhance the cavalry's ability to fight on horseback.

Ma Teng was furious and was about to punish Ma Chao.

Just as he was sending an order to retaliate, the Poqiang bandits attacked, plundered countless people, and took hundreds of hostages to the north.

Ma Teng wanted to lead his troops to attack, but Ma Chao asked Ying to fight.

Ma Teng laughed angrily, but he also wanted Ma Chao to make up for his mistake, so he immediately agreed to Ma Chao's request.

But Ma Chao actually asked that he only need to lead the criminal cavalry battalion to attack.

You know, no general has ever dared to command the Criminal Cavalry Camp.

And his son, who was only fifteen years old, actually said that he could command the execution cavalry camp, and also requested that after the victory of this battle, the people in the execution cavalry camp would be freed from slavery and completely placed under his independent command.

Ma Teng was furious at the time, but when he saw Ma Chao's determined eyes, he unexpectedly agreed.

Even more than two thousand sets of standard armor weapons remaining in the warehouse were distributed to the Criminal Cavalry Battalion.

After calming down, Ma Teng deeply regretted his hasty decision and hurriedly sent five thousand cavalry to rescue Ma Chao.

But I never thought that in just two days, news of Ma Chao’s victory came.

Ma Teng had never doubted Ma Chao's bravery and ability to control.

What surprised him was that Ma Chao actually won a great victory over the Po Qiang this time, rather than a tragic victory.

You know, the Po Qiang tribe has always been the most capable tribe among the Qiang tribe. , although there were only more than 2,000 cavalry who came to invade the country this time, they were also the elite of the Qiang.

In Ma Teng's view, even if he could win this time, it would only be a miserable defeat.

After all, what Ma Chao leads is the criminal cavalry battalion that has a lot of trouble.

Could it be that when Ma Chao woke up, he really realized some miracle?

Could it be that Ma Chao's return has indeed brought hope for Xiliang's future?

Then should I let this golden eagle spread its wings and fly in this confusing road of my own?
