Chapter 298 Beheading Guo Yuan (Thanks to [The Masked Superman from Mercury]
After Ma Chao told Ma Teng and Han Sui about today's battle with Zhang Xiu, sure enough, Ma Teng and Han Sui had doubts in their minds again.
Just when Ma Teng and Han Sui were hesitating, a messenger suddenly came from outside to report that a man named Zhang Ji had come to see Ma Teng on the orders of the Sili Colonel.
Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other and said, "Bring him in."
Zhang Jiju was born as a scholar, was appointed magistrate of Xinfeng County, and his administrative performance ranked first among the three assistants.
Ma Teng saw that Zhang had a tall and straight body, a majestic face, and a bookish air unique to a scholar. He paid more attention to him and said, "May I ask what you call me sir? Why are you here?"
After Zhang Ji bowed his hands and bowed in salute, he replied: "Back to the general, my surname is Zhang Ji, and my courtesy name is Derong. I am from Gaoling, Feng Yi. I am here to analyze the current situation and crisis for the general..."
"..."
After Zhang finished explaining his opinions, pros and cons, he quietly waited for Ma Teng's response.
Han Sui remained silent at the side, as if he was following his horse's lead. But Zhang Ji knew that Han Sui was not as harmless as he appeared, so he couldn't help but glance at him secretly.
Ma Teng was hesitant for a moment.
At this time, one of Ma Teng's army commanders suddenly spoke up and said: "General, I'm not happy to say something."
Ma Teng looked over, frowned slightly, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
After the Sima bowed his hands and saluted, he said: "My lord, you sent the hostage to Chang'an to show your loyalty to the emperor and Duke Cao. Today, you have served the imperial court for many years.
But it is difficult for my subordinates to understand why you would have second thoughts and want to sit back and watch the success or failure for the unrealistic benefits Yuan Shang promised.
You should know that even the former general Yuan Shao is no match for Duke Cao, let alone his three useless sons? Even if Guanzhong is captured by the Yuan family and you, as long as Duke Cao takes care of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan
The three brothers Yuan Xi will definitely turn around and regain Guanzhong...
When that time comes, Duke Cao comes to Guanzhong with the righteous army under the order of the Emperor. General, you will definitely be the first person to be accused of raising an army.
I would like to ask, general, can you really stop Duke Cao and the hussar general?"
Although Sima's words were a bit rude, they came from the bottom of his heart and were very sincere.
After hearing this, Ma Teng felt very frightened and began to walk back and forth restlessly in the tent.
Zhang Ji looked deeply at the Sima who was accompanying the army, and took the opportunity to say to Ma Teng: "Cao Zhenggong is preparing to attack the Yuan brothers. At this critical moment, he cannot spare his hands to deal with Guo Yuan, Gao Gan and others in Hedong.
If the general can return to the Han Dynasty in time, lead his troops to help the Sili Xiaowei conquer the Yuan army and the Huns, and relieve Cao Cao from the crisis, Cao Cao will definitely be deeply grateful to the general, and the general can take this opportunity to make great achievements!
"
Zhang Ji's words undoubtedly moved Ma Teng's heart, but he still wanted to seek Han Sui's opinion. After all, the army here did not belong to his family.
"Brother Xian, what do you think?"
Han Sui always put interests first, but at the same time he was also quite afraid of Cao Cao.
Although Han Sui nodded in agreement when Yuan Shang promised them the land of three assistants, but now that Cao Cao's envoy has also promised them benefits, it is natural that the justifiable credit will taste more delicious...
"Brother, just follow your heart. Brothers will always stand behind you and support you!"
After Zhang Ji heard Han Sui's words, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "What a Yellow River Jiuqu, what a Han Sui! None of the benefits were lost, but Ma Teng took all the blame..."
However, at this time, Zhang Ji obviously couldn't say "justice" out loud, so he could only warn in his heart: "You have to report to the school captain when you go back, be sure to be careful about Han Sui!"
Ma Teng had no real advisers, so Han Sui, known as the "Nine Bends of the Yellow River", often acted as his dog-headed military advisor.
At this moment, Ma Teng saw that Han Sui had no objection, so he made up his mind and said: "Sir, I have always been unwilling to cooperate with Yuan Shang. However, the Yuan family is too powerful, so I have no choice but to..."
"Understood..." Zhang Ji responded with a smile.
"Since Mr. Cao values me so much, Ma Teng, I am also willing to serve the court and do my best for Mr. Cao!"
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Ji finally laughed heartily after hearing Ma Teng's decision, "General Ma understands the righteousness, so I would like to go ahead and congratulate the general on this unparalleled achievement!"
Ma Teng also smiled and said, "Everything depends on Mr. Xie's guidance!"
...
Zhang did not disgrace his mission and successfully persuaded Ma Teng.
To show his loyalty, Ma Teng also leaked to Zhang Ji the information that Guo Yuan asked him to contain Cao Jun at dawn the next day so that they could cross the river. At the same time, Ma Teng also specially sent his son Ma Chao to lead 10,000 elite troops to fight against Zhong Yao's troops.
convergence,
After Zhong Yao got the news, he laughed loudly and said: "Destroy Yuan's army tomorrow!"
The next day, dawn.
From the opposite side of the Yellow River, there were faint sounds of weapons clashing and soldiers shouting for death. This was an illusion deliberately created by the soldiers in Zhong Yao's camp to confuse Guo Yuan on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Poor Guo Yuan was kept in the dark. He thought Ma Teng had successfully restrained Zhong Yao's army, so he immediately ordered to cross the river separately from the armies of Gao Gan and Hu Chuquan.
Out of his trust in Ma Teng, Guo Yuan chose to be the first to cross the Yellow River.
But when he landed on the south bank of the Yellow River and walked dozens of steps, he saw a very strange scene...
To his left is a cavalryman flying a flag with the character "horse", and to his right is a cavalryman flying a flag with the character "zhang".
These two cavalrymen were staring at themselves so quietly at this moment.
"horse???"
"Could it be Ma Shoucheng's team?"
"But Zhang Ziqi's..." Guo Yuan thought of this, and suddenly all the hairs on his body stood up, and a thought immediately popped into his mind, "No, it's Zhang Xiu!! I fell into the trap!"
!!”
Guo Yuan immediately turned around and was about to return to the ship, but Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu's orders had already been issued, "Kill!"
"Don't ask Guo Yuan away!"
When Ma Chao came out this time, he specially brought another strong general with him.
After Ma Chao gave the order to attack, this fierce general immediately rushed out, holding a truncated sword, and rushed towards Guo Yuan at the head of the horse!
"You damn Ma Teng, you have indeed rebelled!" Guo Yuan hated him in his heart, but he ran faster.
But a man's two legs are not as fast as a war horse's four legs. Guo Yuancai ran less than twenty steps and was already overtaken by Pang De, who was sprinting with all his strength!
"Stop him!" Guo Yuan's soldiers turned around and bravely rushed forward to resist Pang De.
But the sword in Pound's hand was so powerful and heavy that it could kill a child with one strike without slowing down at all.
Dozens of Guo Yuan's personal guards who rushed up were all killed by Pang De with a simple and neat sword, and they quickly arrived behind Guo Yuan!
Guo Yuan was filled with fear. Every time this man got closer, he was getting closer to death.
However, the ship so close seems to be far away...
"throat!"
"Pfft!"
Pang De slashed with his sword, and Guo Yuan turned around to resist in extreme panic.
However, Guo Yuan found that he suddenly "flyed" and his body suddenly became very light...
"Why is there a headless body holding a broken knife down there... It looks a little familiar..."
