Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

The princes of the world have their own things to do, except for Cao Cao who waits and sees, the rest of the princes are all caught in the war.

Ma Teng sent troops, earlier than Sun Ce.

To be precise, Ma Teng was coerced by Zhou Yu.

Although Ma Teng and Sun Ce reached an agreement, they sent troops together to attack Hua Yu.

But in the era of communication at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was impossible for both sides to send troops at the same hour and minute on the same day. There could only be one who came first.

In this way, both parties are worried that the other side is playing tricks.

After all, it was thousands of miles from Yuzhou to Liangzhou, and it would take at least five or six days for the scouts to go back and forth, plus the investigation.

Five or six days is enough for many things to happen.

Ma Teng was worried that Sun Ce would scold him, and Sun Ce was also worried that Ma Teng would scold him.

Therefore, both sides asked the other side to send troops first.

Zhou Yu said directly, if Ma Teng is waiting to be wiped out by Hua Yu, then don't send troops.

This sentence directly killed Ma Teng.

Sun Ce's territory is in Yuzhou. If Hua Yu attacks Sun Ce, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu will definitely feel bitter.

But Ma Teng's territory is in Liangzhou, if Hua Yu beats him, no one will help him.

In desperation, under Ma Xiu's persuasion, Ma Teng had to send troops first.

Ma Teng asked someone to draft a call to action against thieves, written in the name of the emperor and the Han Dynasty, denouncing Hua Yu's behavior as a traitor.

Then, Ma Teng announced that he would raise an army of [-], with Ma Chao as the vanguard and Ma Dai as the deputy vanguard, leading [-] troops, and heading to Chang'an first, and he would lead the remaining [-] soldiers and horses to follow closely thereafter.

After Ma Teng raised his troops, he immediately sent a messenger to inform Sun Ce of the situation here, asking him to send troops immediately.

Unexpectedly, after the messenger arrived at Sun Ce's side, Zhou Yu said again, saying that after Ma Teng's army and Huayu's army fought, they would send troops immediately.

When the messenger came back, Ma Teng was so angry that his face turned blue, but he had no choice but to withdraw the army.

At this time, news came from the front that Ma Chao's vanguard had arrived at Fanxukou.

It took five or six days for the messenger to go back and forth, enough for Ma Chao to arrive at Fanxukou from Ji County.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a full five or six days to travel, but Ma Chao was eager to fight, so he accelerated his march and arrived in four days.

"This Meng Qi is marching so fast, he is really in vain of what I taught him." When Ma Teng got the news, he was so angry that he blew his beard again.

Matthew also gave a wry smile. He couldn't understand his elder brother very well, and he was very rebellious.

Among the Ma brothers, including Ma Dai, only Ma Chao dared to act like this.

Ma Teng said angrily: "Immediately upload my order to tell Meng Qi not to fight easily, and wait for our army to arrive before discussing it."

Immediately, one of Ma Teng's personal guards responded and galloped away.

Matthew sighed, "Father, I'm afraid it's too late."

"From here to Fanxukou, even if our army speeds up, it will take three days. The eldest brother must have already handed over the defender of Fanxukou."

Ma Tie was taken aback: "The leader of Fanxukou is Huang Zhong. My elder brother once suffered a loss at the hands of this man, but this time he leads very few troops. Isn't it dangerous?"

When it comes to feelings, the third child Ma Tie and Ma Chao have the best relationship, and Ma Xiu and Ma Dai have a good relationship, but there is no conflict between the two parties.

Matthew said with a smile: "Last time, it was the elder brother who was at a disadvantage and couldn't fully utilize his abilities. That's why he was at a disadvantage."

"Brother has been practicing martial arts hard during this time, and he actually broke through the bottleneck a few days ago."

"When we meet Huang Zhong this time, even if Big Brother can't beat him, it will probably be a tie."

"Also, the 5000 troops led by my brother are all Xiliang cavalry. They are highly mobile and can advance and retreat freely. There shouldn't be any danger."

Ma Teng sighed slightly, why didn't he know that it would be too late to send someone to pass the order at this time.

At the beginning, when Ma Chao asked for the vanguard, Ma Teng hesitated, but considering the martial arts of the four nephews, only Ma Chao was the most suitable for the vanguard.

Otherwise, if you send other people, if you encounter a fierce general like Huang Zhong, wouldn't they be unable to resist?

If Ling Ming is still there, he is the best candidate for the vanguard general.

Alas, it's a good thing to let Meng Yun follow Meng Qi, I hope he can persuade Meng Qi.

Thinking of Pound, Ma Teng felt countless unwillingness in his heart, but he had no choice but to hope that Pound would not betray him.

In the news that Xi Zuo brought from Chang'an, Pang De was the only link missing.

This made Ma Teng a little suspicious. Did Pound join Hua Yu, or was Hua Yu killed?

Why is there no news at all? Could it be that the world has evaporated?

Pound was young, in his early twenties, and unmarried.

However, Ma Teng acted as a matchmaker and got engaged to the daughter of a Zhao family in Jixian County, but the marriage has not yet been completed.

As for Pound, his parents died and he had no brothers or sisters.

The restraint of only one fiancée is as good as no restraint at all.

Therefore, if Pang De surrendered to Hua Yu, he would not be burdened by his family at all.

However, Pound did have a cousin named Pang Rou, who was also a general under Ma Teng's command.

Historically, Ma Chao was invited by Liu Zhang to attack Liu Bei.

At that time, Pang De was sick and stayed in Hanzhong, but Pang Rou went with Ma Chao.

Later, Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, and Pang Rou followed suit, becoming a general of the Shu Han.

However, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong surrendered to Cao Cao, and Pang De also surrendered to Cao Cao.

Of these two cousins, one is loyal to Cao Cao and the other is loyal to Liu Bei, just like the Zhuge brothers, they are separated from each other.

Therefore, Ma Teng's only hope is that Pang De can take Pang Rou's safety into consideration and not rely on Hua Yu.

Otherwise, he, Ma Teng, would lose a general and Hua Yu would gain a general.

The most important thing is that Pound has followed Ma Teng for several years, and he knows the situation in his army well, which is definitely a huge hidden danger.

For this Eastern Expedition, Ma Teng also brought Pang Rou over.

If there is a situation where Pang De betrays, I hope that through the family relationship between Pang Rou and his cousin, Pang De can be moved to submit again.

After all, a fierce general without a family, went back and forth without any worries.

Ma Teng immediately ordered that the army march towards Fanxukou at high speed, marching for eight hours a day and resting for four hours.

However, no matter how fast Ma Teng hurried, even if Ma Teng's personal guards took the first step, it was impossible to catch up with Ma Chao, because Ma Chao had already reached Fanxukou.

Ma Dai also let Ma Teng down, he almost broke his lips, but he still couldn't dissuade Ma Chao, who was full of fighting spirit.

Just like Zhao Yun's battle with Zhang Yun, Ma Chao led [-] elite cavalry to fight at the foot of Fanxukou City before he successfully set up camp.

Looking at the big banner with the word "yellow" on the top of the city, Ma Chao was full of energy and shouted: "Huang Hansheng, do you dare to go out of the city and fight with me?"
