Chapter 790 (1/2)

”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.
