Chapter 224 Ma Teng gains power
Everyone followed the direction pointed by Cheng Gongying. What a good guy, there were blazing fire everywhere.
Ma Chao and the others rushed out of the granary, killing them all the way out and setting fires. The grains and grass in the granary were all flammable items. At this time, not only did the granary catch fire, but even the houses, buildings and other items around the granary began to catch fire.
Most of the ancient houses were made of wooden, even the beams, doors and windows of brick houses were made of wooden, so when the fire burned, it was burned in a row and piles.
If you don’t hurry up and let the fire burn like this, I’m afraid that by dawn, the fire will spread half of the Wuwei County.
What Ma Teng wants is not a abandoned city, what he wants is a complete Wuwei County. When this Wuwei County falls into Ma Teng's hands, he can still use Wuwei as the foundation and as a place for storing grain and shield soldiers. Therefore, Ma Teng now has to curb the fire and cannot watch the fire spread.
"Order all soldiers to put out the fire first." Ma Teng's order continued.
Ma Teng's order was quickly conveyed, but now the soldiers are looting, so no one is willing to participate in the firefighting.
Seeing this messy scene, Ma Teng couldn't help feeling embarrassed. After breaking the city, he promised it for three days. So, as soon as these soldiers entered the city, they were happy. No one cared about his military order at all, and everyone was plundering wildly.
Originally, Ma Teng's military order was issued, and the Han soldiers in the army were ready to follow the order to put out the fire. However, when they saw that the barbarian soldiers around had no intention of putting out the fire, they simply gave up putting out the fire.
You know, in this scene in Wuwei County, it’s like selling supermarkets for discounts. If you take a step a little slow, you won’t be able to grab anything. If they put out the fire, I’m afraid that after the fire is extinguished, the good things will be snatched away by such barbarians.
"If you don't listen to military orders, you will kill them all." Ma Chao glanced at the crazy barbarian soldiers and said coldly.
Hearing this, he looked at Ma Chao with fierce eyes. Military advisor Cheng Gongying hurriedly dissuaded: "No, no."
"After breaking the city, there is no military discipline for three days. This is what King Liang said personally. If the law is enforced by military orders, wouldn't it be a breach of trust and the soldiers of the entire army?"
"Military advisor, but if the fire is not rescued now, wouldn't it burn half of the city?" Ma Teng asked with some confusion.
Of course, the fire cannot be saved, but the soldiers cannot be forced to put out the fire, so they have to go to put out the fire willingly.
Cheng Gongying pondered, thinking about a solution. Those who can be a military advisor will naturally work very well. In a moment, Cheng Gongying thought of a good solution.
Cheng Gongying immediately thought of a good idea when he turned his eyes. He took some horseshoe gold and threw the horseshoe gold at the edge of the fire. The golden horseshoe gold also looked particularly eye-catching in the fire.
Not long after, soldiers discovered the horseshoe gold thrown by Cheng Gongying. They carefully took the horseshoe gold out of the fire. They looked deeper and found that there seemed to be horseshoe gold in the fire.
As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. In such a chaotic era, nothing is more valuable than gold.
"There is gold in the fire, put out the fire, put out the fire quickly."
"Hurry, don't let the fire rise, there must be gold in the fire."
......
......
Now the city is in chaos, and it is a time when there are many people and eyes. Someone has pulled out gold from the fire, so naturally it can't be hidden from anyone's eyes. At this time, no one needs to order the fire to put out, and everyone spontaneously devoted themselves to putting out the fire.
For horse hoof gold, these soldiers did not need anyone to supervise, and all of them started to put out the fire in full swing.
"Military advisor, your plan is really wonderful." Ma Teng looked at the scene in front of him and said with some joy.
"There is nothing else, it's just human hearts." Cheng Gongying smiled.
The next day, dawn.
The fire in Wuwei County has been extinguished, but fortunately the fire was saved in time and the fire did not spread further. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army rescued the fire that had been fired all night, but they had no intention of being tired at all and were still looting everywhere.
Ma Teng wanted to change Wuwei County into a military city, into a fortress for garrisoning grain and troops, and use Wuwei County as a springboard to advance to the Central Plains. Because of this, Ma Teng, the people of Wuwei County, did not care, and he did not need to operate the people's hearts in Wuwei County.
When Ma Teng said that the city had broken through and without considering the military discipline for three days, he had completely given up the people of Wuwei County. A group of soldiers without military disciplines rampant in Wuwei County for three days was like a tiger rampant in a sheep pen for three days.
Three days later, the entire Wuwei County was already in a mess. The bodies of the people were everywhere, and disaster victims were everywhere in the city and outside the city. Soldiers were terrible than any kind of disaster.
After three days of harming the people, Ma Teng drove out all the few remaining people in Wuwei County, completely turning Wuwei County into a military city.
At the same time, Cao Hong's retreating army also retreated to another important military location in the north of Wei, Heishi Pass.
Black Stone Pass is a pass, all of which are made of black stone, so it is called Black Stone Pass. Black Stone Pass originally had more than 10,000 troops and horses, but now Cao Hong has brought thousands of troops. In this way, the entire Black Stone Pass has reached more than 15,000 troops.
Black Stone Pass is a dangerous pass, and with the addition of only 5,000 troops, this can be regarded as another obstacle to entering the Central Plains for Ma Teng.
While setting up defenses at Heishi Pass, Cao Hong sent people to pass the news of Wuwei County's failure to Xudu. Of course, Cao Hong not only wanted to convey the message, but also wanted to ask Cao Cao for help.
Over the years, Cao Cao sent troops to attack others, but now Ma Teng stole Wuwei. For Cao Cao, his uncle could tolerate it, but his aunt could not. With Cao Cao's temper, his mother would not recognize him, who would have to beat Ma Teng no matter what.
On this side, Cao Hong sent someone to ask Xu Du for help. At the same time, the news that Ma Teng took over Wuwei County also spread to Jincheng.
Whose territory is Jincheng? This Jincheng is the territory of the Western Liang warlord Han Sui. Han Sui's troops are not as strong as Ma Tengduo, and his territory is not as strong as Ma Tengdao, so he did not make a king to come to Dangdang.
"What? Ma Teng really defeated Wuwei?"
"Good guy, Ma Teng's path is really wild. It's going to take off this time." After Han Sui heard that Ma Teng had taken over Wuwei, he sprayed a sip of wine directly.
After suppressing the shock in his heart, Han Sui was mixed. Ma Teng took over Wuwei, which means that their Xiliang army has taken over the Central Plains since the attack on the Prime Minister of Dong. However, it was Ma Teng who defeated Wuwei. It seems that Han Sui can only be inferior to Ma Teng.
