Chapter 989: The Critical Direction

There was a commotion in the hall.

Ma Chao just listened quietly, with a smile on his face. Maybe it's because of the mixed race, Ma Chao has a handsome face, tall figure, full of strength and beauty, compared with the short and sturdy of other Qiang people, it seems to stand out from the crowd, because he is still young, so the beard on his face is sparse and sparse is not very obvious, and even some women's enchanting sense at a glance, and then look at it a few times to feel that under his handsome appearance, he is heroic.

Ma Chao listened to it for a while, lowered his eyelids, and did not get angry, but just said in a low voice: "Enough." ”

A Qiang head man on Ma Chao's side was talking lively. Ma Chao suddenly spoke, and his voice was not loud, the Qiang head man didn't hear it clearly at all, and he kept talking, and when he finished speaking, he found that Ma Chao looked at him with a smile, and the Qiang head man reacted, looked at Ma Chao in surprise, scratched his head and said: "Young commander, you ...... just now Is there anything to say? ”

The corners of Ma Chao's mouth are slightly upturned, and he smiles quite beautifully, if it is put in the future, it is estimated that many fans will faint on the spot......

It's just that what Ma Chao said next was not so funny: "I said, everyone stop, in this hall, I am the one who is in charge, and I am the only one." ”

Ma Chao's voice was not high, but this time it was heard by everyone in the hall.

Although Ma Chao smiled, his tone was extremely calm, and even hid a trace of coldness, like the severe ice on the snowy mountain, which did not need to be touched, just by looking at it, he knew what kind of biting cold was hidden in the ice.

Slowly, the other voices in the hall gradually faded away. Several people turned their heads slightly to look at Ma Xiu, but they saw that Ma Xiu was under Ma Chao's eyes, and gradually lowered his head......

Ma Chao is tall, and his voice is always not high, but every word he spits out, it is as sonorous and powerful as a decisive one, and his eyes are as sharp as a sword.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why are you here? Just to come here for two rations of grass? Why don't you want to think about where the belongings you have collected during this time have come from? ”

"My father brought you here, don't you know the dangers of the Guanzhong land? Don't you understand that Guanzhong is dangerous? But why did it come? ”

"If you like it so much, and only do things that you are sure of and are not dangerous, then why don't you just die in Xiliang, continue to sleep on broken felt, drink bad wine, and gnaw bones!"

"Ten sheepskins can't be exchanged for a handful of salt! Three cows, can't get a piece of tea cake! I ask you, how long do you want to live like this? ”

"What are you thinking?"

"I know, many of you already think that you have made enough, it's okay, even if you return to Xiliang now with these things, it is enough to be rich, but what about your son? What about your grandchildren? What about the descendants of the whole family? After eating and using up all the things in their hands, do you still let them go back to the grassland and continue to live the days of grazing cattle and sheep? ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I know that too, but some of you ......"

"Stupid, stupid, extreme!"

The last four words, Ma Chao coldly spit out word by word, like four shots stabbed by a brush, and some people in the hall were a little restless.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The descendants of a certain Ma family, starting from the Marquis of Zhongcheng, are they not taking Anbian as their responsibility, and they have been passed down to this day, but there is a little bit of ease? My father, starting from the end of the day, relied on a spear on the horse, little by little bloody battles, to fight hard for the family business! The people of the Ma family rely on martial arts and bravery, and they rely on this ability passed down from the Marquis of Zhongcheng! ”

"Without this skill, without this spear, what can I use to protect the Ma family's family business? Scriptures? Haha, joke! The Ma family is now such a little bit of a person, if I and the others don't know how to cooperate, don't try to forge ahead, just look at the point in front of me, trapped and old-fashioned, and wait for the Ma family's sharpness to wear off, how long can this family business be kept? ”

"I don't believe my father ...... so easily"

Ma Chao twisted his face to the side, then paused for a moment before continuing.

"But true or not, we, now, must march!"

"How many people are in our Ma family? What is the population of Xiliang? How many people are there in Guanzhong? And how many people are there east of Hanya? How many years have passed, even if we Xiliang people are hard and tired, we are all at the bottom of the Han Dynasty! Now that there is finally such an opportunity, my father personally led us to this point, and finally saw the hope that belongs to our Xiliang people, is it so easy to hand over such a great opportunity? ”

"Go back, easy! It's just that if you want to come back, it's like climbing to the sky! ”

"At the moment, among the people of Xiliang, except for Uncle Han, there is only one Li thief left...... I'm convinced that even my father really ...... Li Thief must also pay a great price! And now, it's the best opportunity, if you can't grasp it, who can guarantee that Li Thief won't be relieved? If we don't take advantage of the weakness of the thief to take his life, do we have to wait for him to recover before killing us? ”

"Take advantage of the fact that the Guanzhong people still have a peace agreement with us, and these Guanzhong people also want our Xiliang people to kill each other......" Ma Chao glanced at a few people with a slight point, and then said, "Uncle Han's concerns, I don't don't understand, I don't know the difficulties in front of me, but if I don't take this opportunity to expound the Li thief in one fell swoop, and then cage all the Xiliang people in the entire Guanzhong to Uncle Han and our Ma family, will the Xiliang people continue to fight in the future, and let the Guanzhong people pick up another cheaper?!" ”

"My father's mission is to lead everyone to create a world of Xiliang people, and the mission of my generation is to continue to walk along this road and earn a foundation for our children and grandchildren for thousands of generations!"

Ma Chao stood in the hall with his hands in his hands, looking proud.

There was silence in the hall, and even Ma Xiu, who had originally lowered his head, looked up at Ma Chao at this moment, looking a little excited.

Ma Chao exhaled lightly and said solemnly: "Xiliang, Guanzhong!" The world is bigger than you and me can imagine, and I believe that since you have come to this point, you also know this truth...... Take a step back, our Ma family is in a slump, I don't know when we will be able to rise again, further, such a big world, no matter how it is divided, it will be much bigger than the original......"

"What's more, you are also from Xiliang, why are you afraid of Li Thief and dare not fight Li Thief to the death? He is my father-killing enemy, he is the roadblock of the Ma family, smash him and step on it, so that our Ma family will not lose the blood in the chest, and will not lose the reputation among the Xiliang people! ”

"Tell me! Warriors of the Ma family, how do you choose?! Dare not fight! Do you dare to take revenge! Do you dare to use the knives and guns in your hands to exchange for everyone's piece of the world?! ”

In the last few words, Ma Chao raised his voice and shouted loudly, everyone in the hall was stimulated by his words as if they couldn't sit steadily, and the blood in their chests couldn't help but boil, as if they were back when they had just followed Ma Teng from Wuwei that day, suddenly someone pulled out his saber, stood up with a brush, raised the knife in the air and said loudly: "Fight!" War! War! We dare, we dare! Kill the Li thief! Kill the Li thief! ”

Ma Chao laughed, high-spirited, and also pulled out his sword violently, held it in the air, and slashed fiercely: "Everyone go back to the whole team immediately, and we will set off early tomorrow morning!" If you don't kill the Li thief, you swear not to turn back! ”

Everyone agreed, and then walked out of the hall in a murderous manner.

Ma Dai walked at the end, and slowly waited for everyone to walk out, before standing beside Ma Chao, and said softly: "Brother Meng Qi, don't you need to be prepared......

Ma Chao squinted, staring at the back of Ma Xiu in the distance, then shook his head and said, "Now is the time for the Ma family to unite and work together, and they are not stupid...... What's more, they don't dare to ......"

………………………………

The early summer sun sprinkled the walls of Wugong County.

Today was a pretty good day, neither too hot nor too cold, very comfortable.

The weather is like this, and there is no war, so inside and outside Wugong County, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, although they are still full of swords, guns and arrows, but they all feel that the original atmosphere of war seems to have quietly disappeared.

The soldiers in martial arts can naturally enjoy this relaxing moment and ease their previously tense spirit a little, but in the martial arts people, they can't have such a comfortable enjoyment.

For these people, this kind of weather also means a good time to work......

After all, Xia Mu is a veteran general in the army, and the civil engineering around this martial arts naturally not only needs to be done very solidly, but also needs to be perfect.

The trench of martial arts has been dug two layers, and they are all about a distance from the range of an arrow from the wall. The new circle of trenches was five paces wide, and now it had been dug to a depth of one man, and when combined with the original trenches, it was almost impregnable.

At this moment, the people are picking up the soil, tamping and tamping, dense like ants continue to work hard, digging the entire martial arts trench deeper, adding the earth wall higher, and the chariot and horse teams from the distance from logging and quarrying are roaring and rumbling......

The entire martial arts has now turned into a huge fortress.

At this time, if you look down from the sky, you can see Wugong County as the center, just like a huge ant nest in general, densely packed with people who come and go and shuttle non-stop, in addition to the garrison in the city, on the side of the city wall, there are also two camps, one large and one small, the small is the foot soldier, the big one is the cavalry, and the martial arts city forms a triangular relationship, around the camp, one after another team of soldiers are either in drills, or in patrol, orderly and orderly.

Xia Mu still has the old habit of inspecting the city wall twice a day to check his own defense. Sometimes Xia Mu would stand alone on the city wall, looking at the busy crowd under the city wall, as if thoughtful, but no one knew what Xia Mu was thinking.

Since Xiliang Han Sui and others were stationed in Yiwu, all of Xia Mu's orders and arrangements were decent, and there were no special orders, just repeatedly repairing fortifications and training soldiers......

However, in the current situation, it seems that the shadow of the war has completely disappeared, and Chong Shao and others are gradually adapting to the chaotic situation in the imperial court, and are sorting out a new path from it, and it seems that everything is developing on the good side.

So now, Xia Mu's personal guards are also a lot more relaxed, seeing Xia Mu thinking about something alone on the city wall, naturally he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so he stood far away with the guards, lowered their voices with each other, and whispered and laughed about something.

At this moment, suddenly a few scouts from afar swept up a cloud of smoke and dust, coming towards Wugong, which immediately attracted the attention of the team patrolling outside the city, greeted them, and then led the scouts straight to Wugong City without saying a few words.

The scout who reported the news hurriedly went to the city, bowed down in front of Xia Mu, and then took Han Sui's letter.

The letter was not long, and the content was not much, Xia Mu read it quickly, frowning.

Ma Teng died.

Killed by Li Dao.

Xia Mu also knew about this matter, but for Xia Mu, the killing of Xiliang people was something that Xia Mu liked to see.

Then came Yang Biao of Hongnong, who led the army to Xinfeng, and after that, there was no new news.

However, now Han Sui said in his letter that he would raise troops to hunt down and kill Li Dao and avenge Ma Teng, is this......

The infighting in Xiliang is good news, but the arrival of Yang Biao and others is not necessarily good news. Although the Yang family fled Chang'an before, there are still many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials of the Yang family inside and outside the Chang'an court, and what kind of actions these people will make when Yang Biao leads the army is naturally the most important question at the moment.

Presumably in Chang'an City now, the seed shao is also having a headache for this problem, right?

Yang Biao is not Fei Qian.

What's more, Yang Biao is now said to have brought nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, if it weren't for the previous defeat under Li Dao, maybe there are even more soldiers and horses now.

With so many soldiers and horses in hand, how could it be compared to Fei Qian, who only brought a few hundred horses?

Besides, when Chong Shao is facing Fei Qian, he can put on a posture of old qualifications, but compared with Yang Biao, whether it is from family background or connections, it is far behind......

Originally, Yang Biao and Wang Yun's fighting methods, including Xia Mou, were not unknown to everyone, so this time, can Chong Shao beat Yang Biao?

Scramble is certainly inevitable, unless......

Xia Mu pondered for a moment, then suddenly unfolded the letter again, carefully read it again from beginning to end, and suddenly smiled: "Someone! Let's just say that there is a certain knowledge, and at this time, it is still necessary to report to the seed public to make a decision...... In addition, he ordered that when the grain and grass were allocated tomorrow, ten more carts would be given......"
