Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Thief Enters the City

"Wang Du is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!"

"Wang Du is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!"

"Wang Du is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!"

In the melee, the head of the Yellow Turban thieves, the former Dong'e County Cheng Wang Du was awarded the head, and in the Han army shouting 'Wang Du is dead, those who surrender will not be killed', the Yellow Turban thieves laid down their weapons and knelt at the feet of the Han army.

A few months ago, they were just peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and the leader was dead, so there was no need for them to continue fighting with their former fathers and villagers, not to mention ...... The sudden attack of the Han army had already crushed their fighting spirit.

Ma Yue'an sat on the horse, took off his helmet and put it in the saddle, and looked at the young man with a ring knife on his face covered in blood among the crowd of people.

Wang Du's head was tied to his trouser belt.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Yue asked Yang Feng beside him, "Ah Ruo, do you know that young man?" ”

"Yes." Yang Feng's horse was cut down in the melee, and at this time, he stood in front of Ma Yue's horse, nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "Lord, he is the Cheng Wu who said so, and this time he should attack Wang Du because his father came up with a way." Lord, that Mr. Cheng is very talented, you should see it. ”

"Mr. Cheng?" Ma Yue nodded and said, "Ah Ruo sent an order, gathered the troops and recruited the able-bodied soldiers, broke up the arrangements in the various departments, and raised the number to four thousand. ”

"Okay!" Yang Feng bowed his hand to Ma Yue, and then opened his legs to give the order.

Ma Yue beat the horse in front of Cheng Wu, turned over and jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "You are Cheng Wu?" ”

Cheng Wu was still immersed in the joy of killing the enemy in battle, and suddenly saw a tall Han army general standing in front of him, and he was a little afraid in his eyes.

has been in Liangzhou for more than ten years, Ma Yue is no longer the little bean he once was, he has his own prestige.

Cheng Wu and the people hurriedly bowed, and offered Wang Du's dedication to Ma Yue from his waist and said, "Xiaomin Cheng Wu, I have seen the general. ”

"No need to be polite." Ma Yue waved his hand, and did not take Wang Du's head, even if he had been in the army for several years and killed countless people, he was still not a person who could carefully examine the heads of the dead in battle. He pulled Cheng Wu to get up and said with a smile: "I'm not a general, I'm just a captain." This is your exploits, just take it. Get up and walk with me. ”

"Yes."

Cheng Wu got up, Ma Yue led the horse in front, Cheng Wu was one step behind, Guan Yu, Yan Xing and others were gathering soldiers and horses, and Ma Yue took Cheng Wu slowly towards Dong'e County.

"How old are you? Look at how much you are the same age as a certain year. ”

"Back to the school captain, Cheng Wunian is eighteen."

"Eighteen." Ma Yue nodded and said, "A certain is a few years older than you, you don't have to be called a captain, just call your brother." You were very brave in the battle just now, how much did you cut the level? ”

Cheng Wu walked and wanted to put the shirt down, put his hand on his waist and felt that something was wrong and then took it back, hearing Ma Yue ask him about his capture, Cheng Wu said proudly: "Back to the school captain, not counting Wang Du, there are seven martial arts blades." ”

"Awesome." Ma Yue praised and asked casually, "Have you ever been on the battlefield before?" ”

This praise Ma Yue came from the heart, Cheng Wu slashed seven people without being injured, but it was much more powerful than when he was eighteen years old, and he had not stopped at all over the years as the old wounds on his body in the war had not healed and new injuries had risen. As early as when he was a child, Li Dao told him that he would protect himself first and then hurt others for the general, but unfortunately he always did not do well enough in this self-protection.

Cheng Wu followed behind Ma Yue, scratched the horn on his head embarrassedly and said, "Back to the captain, this is the first battle." ”

Ma Yue took two steps forward, stood up and turned around and said, "Don't call a certain captain, just call your brother." After a pause, Ma Yue said: "The Yellow Turban is in turmoil, the imperial court is the time to employ people, this time you have the first credit for the sword Wang Du, do you want to join the army or be in power?" ”

"I, I'm ......" Cheng Wu paused for a moment, blushed and said, "Captain, please allow me to report back to my father and think about it again." ”

Ma Yue nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, then take me to meet Ling Zun." Ah Ruo said that Ling Zun is a wise man, and he will go to see him now. ”

At this time, dozens of people stood densely at the gate of Dong'e County, all of whom were scribes and surnames in the county, and Cheng Li was also among them. It's just that Ma Yue hasn't seen him yet, let alone knows his name.

"Xiaguan Dong'e County Gong Cao Xue Zhi, meet Captain Changshui, and thank Captain Changshui on behalf of the people of Dong'e County!"

Ma Yue took Cheng Wugang to the West City Gate for more than ten steps, and dozens of people waiting at the gate bowed down together, thanking Ma Yue for leading his troops to come to the rescue.

'Xue Gongcao', Ma Yue nodded secretly in his heart, Yang Feng had already informed him of the situation of the people of Dong'e before leading his troops to help, this time Wang Du rebelled, Xue Gongcao contributed to the resettlement of the people, and these things should be considered in the later battle report. What's more, now the entire Dong'e is in charge of this Xue Zhi. The county commander from the Fan family abandoned the people, the county prince set up a flag to rebel, and the county lieutenant died at the beginning of the rebellion.

Ma Yue saw that everyone was bowing to him, and hurriedly stood solemnly. I didn't dare to accept it.

Although he rushed to the aid of Dong'e, he was one of the five schools of the Northern Army of the Imperial Court and a captain of 2,000 stones. Psychologically, he can't take credit.

"Everyone, please get up, even if Ma doesn't come, Dong'e has wise and brave patriots like Cheng Wu's father and son, and the Yellow Turban Thief can be defeated and retreated." Ma Yue said with a smile, then pulled Xue Zhi up, stretched out his hand and pointed to the city and said, "Let's enter the city first, and ask Xue Gongcao to choose a location outside the city for my department to camp." ”

Xue Zhi lowered his head and smiled: "This is nature, this is nature." Lieutenant please. ”

In the crowd, Ma Yue saw a man over forty years old at a glance, with gray hair but extremely energetic. Ma Yue is already tall, no matter where he goes in the world, he stands out in the crowd, and this middle-aged man is the same, similar in height to Ma Yue. Just swept it in a hurry, and Ma Yue knew.

He is Cheng Wu's father.

The Cheng family's cheekbones are very high, which can be seen from Cheng Wu's face, and his father is even more so, with sharp and angular lines on his face, and the slightly locked horizontal eyebrows and the deep nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose make people feel difficult to get along with, but there is a wise light in a pair of eyes.

Ma Yue glanced at Xue Zhi and asked him about Dong'e's livelihood. After he turned his head, Cheng Li's gaze also swept over him.

He had never heard of Ma Yue's name, and he had only glanced at the city gate in a hurry, but he had only just been on the city wall, and he had seen this young warrior waving his arms at the invincible cavalry in the chaos of the army. In general, there is nothing special about it, it's like ...... A mighty warrior in general. But Cheng Li knew very well in his heart that it was not enough to be brave and good at fighting. There are more than 300,000 soldiers in the Han Dynasty, and how many of them are brave and good at fighting? And less than 100 of the 300,000 troops in a powerful position can surpass the captains of the five battalions.

Brave and good at fighting, it is not enough to support the young man in front of him to reach his current status.
