On the official road, Maas and his people quickly withdrew, but his heart was not calm, and there was always a sense of resentment lingering in his chest.
In the past, Daqian was filled with smoke and smoke. When encountering Xiliang, they would tremble and crouch down everywhere, as if they were offering Xiliang. Now that he was escorting the silver coins to Chencang for delivery, a mere capable border general dared to boss him around at will.
He is the Minister of Civil Affairs.
In Xiliang, he was also an important minister in the court, but he was treated like this.
It’s really crazy!
It's like the world is hanging upside down and the chicken is in the morning.
As Maas hurried on, he was thinking in his heart that Da Liang could not be so depressed and must regain his strength.
When you return to Great Liang, you must make suggestions to your teacher Jiang Gui, persuade your majesty to cheer up, and persuade him to work hard to build a more elite army to avenge his past humiliation.
Mas retreated all the way, and when he arrived at the border of Chencang and entered the border of Xiliang, he suddenly stopped and looked at the area in Daqian and murmured: "One day, I, Mas, will definitely lead the Xiliang army into Daqian. "
"I want Emperor Daqian to personally order the execution of these arrogant generals."
"How tragic is it to be executed by the emperor you are loyal to?"
"Daqian, let's wait and see."
"I will take revenge."
Mas comforted himself and continued walking back with the others. The army walked for another hour and a half. By noon, because of the hot weather, the more than 2,000 Xiliang soldiers accompanying them were exhausted.
On the way here, there was no delay in escorting the silver coins.
On the way back, I was also speeding up.
Everyone can no longer hold on.
The general who led the troops was named Fu Meng, and he was from Di.
Fu Meng has a strong body and is quite brave on the battlefield. It's just that he is not a member of a wealthy family in Xiliang, and he has no background. He has always been a middle-level general in the army and cannot go further.
Fu Meng looked serious and asked: "Ma Shilang, it's already noon, should we stop to eat and rest for a while? The weather is too hot, and we need enough water. I will arrange for the soldiers to find water sources nearby to replenish some water. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the soldiers to go all out if they are hungry."
"Can!"
Mas nodded in reply.
Fu Meng got the accurate information and immediately made arrangements.
The team of more than 2,000 people stopped to rest. After Fu Meng made arrangements, he took out the meat and bit it into pieces, then drank water and swallowed it.
When the army is marching in the wild and wants to have a hot meal, unless it has sufficient logistics, it can only eat dry food. It is impossible for people like Mas and Fu Meng to have independent logistics to supply melons, fruits, dried meats and fine wines.
It’s good to be able to eat and drink enough.
Mas looked at Fu Meng and continued to ask: "Fu Meng, did you see Qin Zhong's attitude when the three million taels of silver were delivered today?"
"Saw it!"
Fu Meng also gritted his teeth and answered.
Mas swallowed a piece of meat jerky and asked, "What do you think?"
Fu Meng clenched his fists, with a cold look in his eyes, and said angrily: "Qin Zhong is domineering and arrogant, too arrogant. In the future, if we have a chance, we must march to Chang'an and come back with ruthless revenge."
Mas praised: "General Fu, isn't he afraid of being killed in battle with Qin Zhong?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Fu Meng answered without hesitation.
Mas praised: "With a strong general like General Fu who is not afraid of death, he will definitely win the battle with Daqian in the future. When I return to Guzang County, I will recommend General Fu to the teacher."
Fu Meng's eyes lit up and he suddenly became excited.
The opportunity has come!
Mas is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his teacher is Jiang Gui. Now that he is on Mas's boat, he is equivalent to a member of Jiang Gui's faction.
There are people in the court who like to be officials.
Jiang Gui made a casual arrangement, and as a general in the army, he could go to guard one side and increase his qualifications. When you have the qualifications, it is possible to be transferred back to the court to serve, or even serve as Minister of War.
This is a great future.
Fu Meng was excited and said quickly: "I will follow Ma Shilang to the death, and I will only respect Ma Shilang. If Ma Shilang asks me to go east, I will never go west. If Ma Shilang asks me to go west, I will never go east." "
Mars looked satisfied.
In both the court and the army, factions are needed. If there are no factions and if you don't stand in line, you won't be able to achieve great things.
Maas patted Fu Meng's shoulder and comforted him: "What I need, and even what Great Liang needs, is that you dare to fight and kill so that you can win the battle. After you go back, reorganize your troops, prepare them with strength, and wait for the opportunity." "
"I will finally understand!"
Fu Meng nodded solemnly again.
With a smile on his face, Mas continued to eat and rested against a tree.
After a long time, Fu Meng's ears suddenly twitched, and his expression suddenly changed slightly. He ignored the looks of the people around him and lay directly on the ground with his ears close to the ground, listening carefully.
After a while, Fu Meng stood up in an instant and shouted: "The enemy is attacking, there is an enemy attacking, quickly form a formation!"
Mas frowned and said, "Fu Meng, what's going on?"
Fu Meng quickly explained: "Master Ma, something bad has happened. A group of cavalry has appeared behind us, and a large number of cavalry are coming."
Mas looked back, without any reaction, frowned and said, "Are you overthinking?"
Fu Meng said quickly: "Master Ma, you are not in charge of the army and you don't know the situation of the army. There are really cavalry coming from behind us."
"Those in the wilderness cannot be from Great Liang, nor can they be bandits, because bandits do not have such a formation."
"In my opinion, they are Daqian's cavalry."
"The situation is very bad!"
"Let's evacuate as soon as possible, don't waste any more time."
Fu Meng had already unsheathed his sword and said quickly: "No, we can't retreat together, we will easily be blamed. Shilang Ma, you retreat with a few people first, I will delay the time, and then I will evacuate on my own."
Maas glanced behind him again.
Still don't believe it.
Fu Meng was so angry that he stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Ma, do I need to deceive you?"
Maas is doubtful. He always believes that what he hears is worse than what he sees, and he believes in what he sees. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't see anyone coming from behind, and said, "You said that there are large cavalry, you are exaggerating."
"well……"
Fu Meng looked disappointed and sighed: "It's too late, it's too late for everything."
Mas didn't pay much attention to Fu Meng's alarmism. He patted his butt and planned to continue his journey. At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves was clearly heard from behind.
Mas looked back instantly.
Where it enters the eye, a squirming black line keeps moving forward, and the rumble of horse hooves is deafening, making people feel frightened.
The squirming black lines became clear in an instant.
The cavalry is coming!
boom! !
Mas's mind was completely blown.
This time he believed it, but it was like falling into an abyss. He no longer had any luck, and his face was even more pale.
