Chapter 1213 The Family Lied to Ma Teng

Zhang Yu was about to attack, so he sent people to spread the news.

It won't take long for the news of Zhang Yu burning the stronghold to spread.

The clever Zhao Yun released thousands of people.

The people they captured before, gave them enough food and water, and then released them.

And Zhao Yun and the others continued to come back across the desert from another direction.

The spread of this news will be a fatal blow to Ma Teng's side.

Ma Teng knew that he was like a mantis holding a car in front of Zhang Yu, not an opponent at all.

But they had support, and their support was the Roman army.

According to the plan, tens of thousands of Roman troops will come in batches just recently.

The previous 50,000 troops have already played a great role. With tens of thousands more this time, they can easily hold Liangzhou and wait for the follow-up army.

Once the army arrives, it can sweep the entire China.

However, things are not that simple.

Zhang Yu's determination is not something he can easily shake. He personally led the army, which has made it difficult for Ma Teng and his son.

Zhang Yu spread the news.

"Whoever dares to spread rumors will be killed without mercy."

One morning, Ma Chao was in the barracks and heard that Zhang Yu had burned the stronghold in the desert.

This is a disaster for them.

Without the support of the Roman army, with their current strength, they would not be Zhang Yu's opponent at all.

Hearing these remarks, Ma Chao was furious.

"Give me a tour of the barracks. Whoever dares to continue spreading rumors will show their heads to the public."

This Ma Chao was afraid, so he ordered his generals to inspect the barracks carefully.

If this continues to spread, it will be a fatal blow to their morale.

In the barracks,

The entire Liangzhou also spread rapidly.

The news was astonishing, as if overnight, it spread across the entire Liangzhou with wings.

"The Ma family father and son are going to die."

"Westerners can't get through, what else do they have?"

"The Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty is no longer able to resist."

"Hahaha, retribution, the Ma family father and son also have their present."

"It is said that Zhang Yu is brutal. I would rather die amidst Zhang Yu's brutality than give up this wonderful land of China to Westerners."

"Father and son of the Ma family are doomed to perish."

Among the people, the news spread unscrupulously, and it didn't take long for it to spread around Ma Teng.

Ma Teng's staff and generals all received the news, but Ma Teng didn't know it yet.

He didn't know until his nephew told Ma Teng.

"Uncle, my nephew received the news two days ago. I thought it was someone spreading it, so I didn't take it seriously. After all, Zhang Yu often sends people to spread rumors, but now it has spread throughout the city, and I'm afraid it's the same in other places. "

Ma Teng's face was gloomy, this was digging his roots, and he couldn't bear it.

"Cha, you lead your troops to arrest immediately. Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be arrested by me."

Naturally, Ma Teng also knew the power of this rumor, so he didn't dare to take any chances.

Let's say this is a rumor, let it go, the harm will be huge.

However, a day later, Ma Teng was furious again.

Catch it, you can't catch it at all.

It's not a group of people, let alone a few people, but it's spread all over the city.

"This Ma Teng is crazy, he actually arrested hundreds of people in one day."

"Heh, how can he stop all the talking."

"Ma Teng is finished, and he has to go against the trend."

"Everyone, turn against this traitor with me."

I don't know how many people are scolding Ma Teng, he arrested hundreds of people, but the resistance seems to be stronger.

Several families suddenly gathered secretly.

"Let's not act rashly at this time and touch Ma Teng's brow."

"That's right. At this moment, some common people are just making trouble. Ma Teng can bear it. Once we make a move, Ma Teng will panic."

"Well, we should make a move at a critical moment, not at this time."

"Anyway, this Ma Teng won't be able to jump for long."

Everyone believed that Zhang Yu would make a move soon, and then Ma Teng and his son would be wiped out, and the Silk Road would be restored.

A few days later, news came from several strongholds in the west.

"Burn, be burned."

"The stronghold was burned, and the West Road was cut off."

"We can't get through."

Those migrant workers who escaped began to spread the news.

In fact, other people have known it for a long time, but it has not been confirmed, and now it has been confirmed.

This is very dire news.

This news is enough to destroy Ma Teng.

For more than ten days, although Ma Teng had been sending people to suppress him, he couldn't be suppressed soon.

At this time, several families went to find Ma Teng.

"Ma Gong, please deal with it as soon as possible. If the road to the west is not restored, we will have no way to survive."

"That's right, our Di family is willing to contribute people and food, as long as Ma Gong resumes his westward journey."

"Magong, we are willing to send someone to help you suppress this rumor. We also ask Magong to send troops to suppress the Quartet."

"Ma Gong, if Zhang Yu is allowed to occupy this place and pay 70% of his property, his strength will be greatly damaged, and he will not even have the ability to travel west."

Several big families came to Ma Teng and cried to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng repeatedly comforted them.

Indeed, these aristocratic families are all in line with him, so far they haven't caused trouble for Ma Teng, but have helped Ma Teng several times.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'm going to restore the stronghold in the west, and organize a group of people to go there in a few days."

"I will also send troops immediately. There will be no mission problems in the surrounding cities. When I take over the world, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Ma Teng managed to persuade these people to leave.

After the people left, Ma Teng sat there alone and sighed.

He didn't doubt them, because these aristocratic families performed very well.

At first he suspected it too, but now they don't.

Because, if they pay 70% of their property, then their strength will be greatly damaged, and they will not be able to trade in the west at all, and their source of income will be cut off.

For this westward trip, the team is too small, and it may lose money if the team is too small.

At the same time, a large number of entourages are needed, and a large amount of housing expenses must be paid to these people first.

Without paying for the settlement, who knows if these people can come back after going out.

So, it's not okay to have a small family.

Once Zhang Yu confiscated 70% of their property, it would be a heavy blow to them.

That's why Ma Teng believed them.

But Ma Teng didn't know that these people were all bought by Zhang Yu, and even without Zhang Yu's promise, they would not be of one mind with Ma Teng.

To be with Ma Teng is to court death.

Ma Teng thought about it alone for a long time. He has been leading the army in Wuwei County. This is the place where he started and it is also an important place in Liangzhou.

"Send someone to organize the team immediately and head to the west."

"By the way, gather people from several families and let their caravans help with the transportation. We must recover as soon as possible, otherwise we will die without a place to die."

What Ma Teng wants most is to restore the Silk Road immediately so that the Romans can come.
