In the open space to the east of the city, there is a neat camp tent, the rows of wooden fences in front of the camp act as a simple defense, and five guards stand on each side of the back gate, from the appearance and clothing of these guards, it can be seen that these guards are from the Central Plains. Obviously, this is Liu He's soldiers and horses.

At this moment, more than a dozen soldiers appeared in the distance, the first one wearing a long knife at his waist and wearing delicate chain mail, this person's official position was naturally not low.

Seeing more than a dozen soldiers coming in the distance, the squad leader guarding the door immediately had a smile on his face and said hello: "Captain Madu, it's so late, you still have to go out on patrol?"

"yes!"

The general, who was called Ma Duwei, nodded helplessly, and sighed: "The general has given an order, I have to go! ”

"That's it, those aliens are so rampant that I can't wait to cut them with a thousand knives!"

One of the soldiers guarding the gate listened to Captain Madu's words and nodded in agreement. It seems that these soldiers do not have a very good impression of foreign races, after all, the victims are all Han Chinese, and it is strange that they will feel comfortable. Originally, it was a situation of fighting between Han people and aliens, but now because of everyone's union, they can only watch these aliens scourge their compatriots, but they can't do anything.

"Niu Er, don't say more, what the generals do, it's not our turn to point fingers. Don't say more about this in the future, if it reaches the ears of the general, it will be a whip. When the team leader heard this, he immediately turned around and scolded.

"Niu Er is right, the brothers all look at those barbarians unpleasantly, but now they can't move them. There will be a chance in the future. Make sure they look good. ”

Ma Duwei stopped the squad leader and agreed with Niu Er's words.

The squad leader listened to Captain Madu's words. I breathed a sigh of relief. Niu Er is his soldier after all, and everyone has been together for so long. Naturally, it is deeply emotional. Niu Er's words just now, lest they be passed on to the general's ears, and he will be whipped at the least, or even lose his life. Now that Captain Ma Duwei has said so, it is obvious that there is no problem.

"Haha, what Captain Ma Duwei said is very true. I won't bother Captain Ma Du when I wait, and when I have a chance in the future, I will ask Captain Ma Du to enjoy his face and drink. ”

"Haha, that's nature!"

Captain Ma Du laughed. Then he walked towards the outside of the barracks with a dozen soldiers behind him. To say that it is a patrol is actually to go through the motions. Even if the alien race really plagued the people in the city, there was nothing they could do to stop it. After all, the two sides are now in the honeymoon period of union, and once they start, it will even trigger a war between the two armies, and no one can afford such consequences. Therefore, even if they see that the alien race is harming the people, they can only assume that they do not see it.

Because it was a coalition army, the city was divided into two parts. Liu He occupies the east and south of the city. Alien races such as Karasuma and Xianbei occupy the western and northern parts of the city.

Captain Ma Du led a dozen soldiers to patrol from the east of the city, and walked along the way, it didn't look like he was patrolling at all, but like he was shopping. So. Although the city is not large, it took nearly an hour for Ma Duwei and his group to patrol the east of the city. After Captain Ma Du and his party finished patrolling the south of the city. It's noon, and time flies pretty fast.

"Captain Madu. The east and south of the city are our territory, forgive the barbarian for being arrogant. and did not dare to go wild on our territory. ”

"It's just, there's no need to patrol at all, damn it, it's hot. ”

After the patrol, Captain Ma Du and his soldiers found a wine shop to rest, and as soon as they sat down, the soldiers began to mumble. Even if the alien race loots, it is only in the west and north of the city under their jurisdiction, and if they run to the east and south of the city, it will be a crossing. Therefore, it stands to reason that there is no need for patrols at all.

"Well, don't complain. The general ordered us to wait for the patrol, and we did so. All the brothers were tired, Captain Bendu was the east, and all the brothers drank a few Gu together. ”

"Ma Duwei is bold, and the brothers are right to follow you. ”

"Haha, yes!"

During the war, alcohol was supposed to be banned in the army. However, now that Liu He and Karasuma, Xianbei and other alien races are uniting in the rear, Gongsun Chan is too busy to take care of himself by Yuan Shao and Yuan Chang, how can he have time to attack the small city of Endless City. Therefore, there is no possibility of war at all. Besides, Captain Ma Du was the leader, and he said that he could drink, and how could the soldiers object, and the behavior of the alien race made them feel depressed, so no soldier objected.

"Drink, drink!"

"It's a fucking pleasure!"

"It's been a long time since I've had such a good time, brothers, it's done!"

"Damn, it's not cool to see those aliens, I really want to give them two knives, a bunch of savages. ”

After a few glasses of wine, Captain Ma Du and the soldiers were red-faced, and the soldiers who were too strong to drink began to talk nonsense and complain.

"Alright, alright. Everyone has rested enough and continues to work. After taking Gongsun Zhan, Captain Bendu drank with his brothers again. ”

Seeing this, a strange smile flashed on the corner of Ma Duwei's mouth, but it disappeared in a flash, but no one noticed it. Then, seeing that he drank with a straight face, he took the lead and walked out of the wine shop.

"Lord Captain, it's not good. ”

Just as Captain Ma Du and his party walked out of the wine shop, a soldier rushed over anxiously, and before the person arrived, an eager voice sounded.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Ma Duwei's face was pale, and he asked loudly.

"My lord, that alien barbarian is so rampant that he has gone to the eastern boundary of the city under the jurisdiction of our army to plunder. The villain knew that the adults were ordered to patrol, so he came to report earlier. ”

Before Captain Ma could speak, the soldiers who had drunk the wine glared angrily and shouted and cursed.

"Niang Xipi, the alien barbarians are so rampant that they actually ran to the territory of our army to loot. ”

"Arrogance, such an act is a failure to take us into account. ”

"The barbarians are so arrogant, they must let them know that our army is powerful. ”

Ma Duwei's face changed, as if he was considering how to act. The soldiers, who had drunk a lot of horse urine, saw that Captain Ma Du was still hesitating, so he immediately persuaded him.

"Lord Duwei, what are you still thinking about, the barbarians are rampant, so I have to teach them some lessons. ”

"That's right, that's right. Teach them a lesson. ”

As if persuaded by the soldiers' words, a look of determination flashed in Captain Madu's eyes. "Okay, since the brothers have said so," he shouted. Then the lieutenant went with all the brothers to teach those barbarians a lesson, and let them know how powerful our Han family sons are. ”

"Teach the barbarians!"

"Let the barbarians know how good we are!"

When the soldiers heard Captain Madu's words, their faces showed an expression of excitement, and they roared angrily. At that moment, a group of people were led by the messenger soldiers, followed by Captain Madu, and the rest of the soldiers followed towards the place of the incident.

After traveling for about a quarter of an hour, Ma Duwei and his group came to the place of the incident - a wine shop.

There is no clear boundary between the east and north of the city, but after Liu He and the aliens captured the city of Wuzhong. Boundaries were drawn. This liquor shop is located on the edge of the east and north of the city, but it is divided into the east of the city, which belongs to the territory of Liu He's forces. Although Yan Rou is the leader of the coalition army, everyone knows that this leader is actually in name only. The alien race was suppressed in the Western and Eastern Han Dynasty and had little temper, so they would still abide by some rules. For example, they use the fact that the teacher is famous, and they use it very well. Gongsun Zhan, as a subordinate, killed Liu Yu, who was a superior. Of course, this should have been an internal matter of Hanting. Outsiders can't control it. However, the internal wars of the Han court were endless, and the court had no time to take care of it. In order to avenge his father, Liu He united with the alien race. This gives the alien an opportunity to intervene.

"Stop!"

When Ma Duwei and the others arrived, they saw five or six stout aliens dragging two women, laughing loudly. He was also carrying a large cloth bag behind him, which was obviously the property they had looted. And those two good-looking women. Apparently also the object of their looting.

"Whew!"

The alien man at the head sneered disdainfully, and looked at Ma Duwei and the others with contempt. said in an extremely arrogant tone: "What are you guys, dare to meddle with Uncle Ben's affairs." Even if your lord comes, he doesn't dare to talk to Uncle Ben in such a tone, hurry up and get out of the way of Uncle Ben. ”

This alien man was quite arrogant, and of course, this was also because he had a reason for being arrogant.

This alien man, named Mumba, was a commander of Karasuma's thousands, on the same level as the commander of the Han Dynasty. However, looking at this Mumba's arrogance, it is obvious that the gold content of the commander is much higher than that of the captain. And in fact, it is also true.

Before the Zhou Dynasty, there were not so many ranks in the army, and they were all called generals. The rank of generals is the same, there is no difference between big and small, except for the general who is in charge of the whole country. Therefore, when it is time to start a war, shout the soldiers and horses of General So-and-so to gather, and you will immediately know which side it belongs to. Of course, it seems simple, but the disadvantages are huge. The mere transmission of the general's orders is a huge problem. Moreover, there is also the question of mutiny.

The soldiers and horses under the command of a certain general belong to a certain general, once the general defects, these soldiers can only follow the rebellion, otherwise the court will be held responsible, and these soldiers will be punished, which is the so-called joint sitting. Until the Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the generals, the positions of ten-commander, centurion, and thousand-commander were added, and the official positions were more detailed, and there were fewer drawbacks. In the battle with the alien race, this system of official positions also spread to the alien race. And when the Qin Dynasty was unified, the official positions were more detailed, so I won't go into details. However, the official positions of the alien races remained unchanged, and the ten-commander, centurion, etc., were still used, and they did not change like the Han Chinese.

In the country of the Han Chinese, there are many factors that affect the promotion of official positions. For example, background, age, seniority, etc., like an ordinary soldier in his early twenties, he has made many great achievements. However, this soldier has no background, is too young, and does not have enough seniority, so at most he will be promoted to lieutenant, and it is impossible to be promoted to general. As for the rest of the credit, it was naturally reaped by the commander of this soldier. And a person with a background like Huo Qubing is different, he was named a hussar general by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the age of eighteen, in addition to his contribution to sweeping the Huns, but also because his uncle Wei Qing is a general, and his aunt Wei Zifu is the queen. You must know that the hussar general is not small, and the general who commands the whole country is a serious general, not an ordinary miscellaneous general.

Let's go back to Mumba, the commander of a thousand soldiers, not by background and qualifications, but by his own hard work. In the eyes of aliens, if you want to be promoted, you have to rely on strength. Mumba is a commander of thousands, which means that he commands a thousand soldiers under his command, and he also relies on his strength to impress a thousand soldiers. In addition, Liu He has a request for foreign races, so this. Mumba said that Ma Duwei and their master, that is, Liu He and others, saw Mumba. It makes sense that they don't dare to shout loudly.

"Hubris, little brute. Dare to speak wildly. ”

"Looking for death, don't teach you and other barbarians, I don't know how powerful my Han family is. ”

Hearing Mumba's words, the soldiers behind Captain Ma Du suddenly turned red and shouted to teach Mumba a lesson. However, Captain Ma Du did not speak, and they did not act. There are seventeen prohibitions in the army and fifty-four beheadings, which is not a joke, and disobedience is one of them.

Ma Duwei had a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "Commander Mumba Qianfu." My lord and you jointly attacked Gongsun Zhan. The east of this city is the garrison of our army, and now you are waiting to cross the border, it seems that it is a little unreasonable. ”

Ma Duwei is also a commander, and he understands the truth that the division is famous, even if he wants to teach these aliens a lesson, he must have a good reason, otherwise in order to appease the military morale of the aliens, he will be pushed out as a scapegoat. Therefore, what he said is also reasonable and well-founded, and people can't catch the slightest loophole.

"Hey, hey!"

Mumba sneered. He can be a commander of a thousand soldiers, and he is not a brave and reckless man. His eyes rolled quickly, stretched out his thick palm, pointed at the two women who were looted by them, and said in a rough voice: "Captain Madu." You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. These two lowly women stole the belongings of the head of my family, and it was on the orders of the head of my family that the commander of this thousand was ordered. Come and arrest the two. You see, now people have taken all the stolen goods. Ma Duwei should not reverse right and wrong. ”

Mumba said this with a triumphant expression on his face.

Although the Han people in the Central Plains are weak and sheep. Still, some things are good. Just like the strategy he used at the moment, yes, in Mumba's heart, he used the strategy of the Han people. I didn't see him say the excuse of such righteous words, no, it was a scheme, and Ma Duwei and the others were dumbfounded. It seems that the strategy of the Han people is still good, and it can be used often in the future, hehe.

Ma Duwei frowned slightly, and looked in the direction of Mumba's finger. At this glance, his face suddenly changed greatly, and his originally angry face was now red and blue, black and purple, like a volcano about to erupt, and it would change color at any time.

"Commander Momba, you said that they stole the belongings of your family leader, so you were ordered to arrest them?" said Ma Duwei gritted his teeth and said as if flat.

"That's right!"

Mumba tilted his head with the expression of a messenger of justice.

"Could it be that this commander still wants to lie to you, in our tribe, the warrior who lies will be abandoned by the wolf god. So, Captain Ben didn't bother to lie. And don't think that you will be judged, for who does not know that you Han people are scheming, and if you can't get it into your hands, what is black can be said to be white. ”

The peoples of the steppe claim to be descendants of the wolf god, so once they swear an oath with the wolf god, it is very serious. Of course, the same is true of the Han people in the Central Plains, once the oath is made by the gods, it is a very serious matter, otherwise, it will be punished by the gods, which is the sadness of the feudal era, and one of the reasons why the ruler can rule the common people so easily.

However, for the ruling class, the gods are nothing more than an excuse for them to fool the people, and only the ignorant common people will believe it. Let them believe in the gods rather than in themselves. And Mumba is one of them, he doesn't even remember how many vows he made in the name of the wolf god, but isn't he alive and well now?

Ma Duwei was noncommittal to Mumba's answer, looked at one of the two women, and a deep voice sounded: "Xian'er, you tell your husband what is going on. ”

When Ma Duwei said this, everyone present was stunned, and Mumba was even more dumbfounded, and the triumphant expression just now stopped on his face, looking dumbfounded.

"General!"

The woman who was called Xian'er by Ma Duwei was wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeves at this time, listening to Ma Duwei's words, and before Mumba and the others could react, she pulled another woman and ran over, choked up, but said in a voice that everyone present could hear: "General, the slave family came to the province this time, passing by my uncle's house, so I stayed at my uncle's house temporarily. Because they were bored at home with their cousins, they went to wander around the north of the city, and when they saw the slave family and their cousin, they wanted to arrest them, and said that the slave family and their cousin had stolen their chief's belongings. Although the slave family is a lowly body, they also know how to do this stealing, so they argue with their cousin and return. Who knew that they were thieves, so they followed all the way, broke into their uncle's wine shop, injured their uncle, and even wanted to forcibly kidnap the slave family and their cousin. General, you must make decisions for the slave family and your cousin. ”

Ma Duwei is just a captain, naturally not a general. However, in ancient times, women called their husbands, who were military attachés, generals, to mean that they had good expectations for their husbands and would one day become generals. Of course, no one cares about what to call it, and what Xian'er says at this moment is the focus of everyone's attention.

The two of them went to the north of the city to hang out, and then they were taken by Mumba and his party, so they framed them for stealing, and wanted to forcibly kidnap their cousins, as for what would happen after the abduction, you don't have to think about it. In this regard, not to mention the soldiers under the command of Ma Duwei, even the people around him were angry, but they couldn't vent it. This kind of thing has happened more than once in the city of no end recently, and in the end, it is not over. Besides, Xian'er hasn't been arrested yet, at most, it's a big thing and a small thing, after all, the two sides are still in the honeymoon stage of the union, and no one wants to destroy the union.

"General!"

Just when everyone was slandering, I saw that the virtuous man screamed sadly, and said with tears in his eyes: "The female family married the general and failed to make a difference, and now she is even more despised by the villain, and the slave family can't stand the general." I can't connect with the general in this life, and I will marry the general in the next life!"

After speaking, Xian'er pulled a dagger from his cuff, stabbed it in his chest, and then fell straight down. The people around him didn't react at all, and it wasn't until Xian'er fell down that they understood what had happened.

"Xian'er!" (To be continued.) )
