For Kang Peng and even the entire Xiliang Army, the last month of the fourth year of Chuping is destined to be a turbulent month, but also a period of opportunity, Kang Peng used Hua Xin to coerce Emperor Han Xian to crown himself Queen Kang, and decided to officially ascend the throne in Chang'an on the twelfth day of the first month of the fifth year of Chuping. In order to congratulate himself on the ceremony of crowning the king, Kang Peng instructed Lu Su, the prime minister of the Jingzhou war situation, to fully control Jingzhou within a month before leaving Xiangyang, and to add points to his throne ceremony, and Dong Zhuojun's generals also understood that since Kang Peng was promoted to the throne, he would definitely reward his subordinates in a big way, and if he wanted to win a good position for himself in the reward, capturing the four counties of Jingzhou was the last chance, so the generals in Jingzhou were all gearing up, and they all set their eyes on the poor four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling. Even Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and other generals who were still on the way from Yizhou to Jingzhou rushed to send a letter of request for war, asking them to be sent to attack the four counties.

The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, Dong Zhuojun in the attack on Jingzhou because of the lack of logistics supplies, can only take the wild valley and use, at this time the civilian grain has been borrowed, the newly occupied Xiangyang City can only take out the grain to repay the people, for the people to use in winter, the army used grain and grass can only be transferred from Chang'an, before the grain and grass are transported to the battlefield, Dong Zhuojun can only temporarily hibernate. On the day Kang Peng left Jingzhou, Ma Zhong led more than 30 members of the Dark Moon Group and the Swallow Group to the south of the four counties to pave the way for the army and provide intelligence support.

At the beginning, the task of Ma Zhong and others was carried out very smoothly, only one day after arriving in Nanjun, Ma Zhong single-handedly held Kang Peng's handwritten letter to persuade Han Song, the defender of Nanjun, because he was attacked by Jiangdong Army and Dong Zhuojun, Liu Biao almost transferred the defenders of Nanjun to the fullest, at this moment Nanjun is basically an empty city, Han Song has less than 3,000 old and weak soldiers, and is sandwiched between Dong Zhuojun in Jingzhou and Dong Zhuojun in Yizhou, there is no way to retreat, there is no reinforcement, Han Song's rational choice is Yiqi, and Nanjun falls into the hands of Dong Zhuojun.

Successfully recruited Han Song, Ma Zhong was stationed on the spot in Nanjun, the intelligence work of the four counties was completed by his own men, and Ma Zhong also had to command the intelligence work in the center of Nanjun, and rested for three days in Han Song's hospitality, Ma Zhong suddenly received an urgent letter from Lu Su, and Sun Quan's army, which had already retreated to Chaisang, was dispatched again, and had been stationed in Jiangxia, another blank land of forces in Jingzhou, Lu Su ordered Ma Zhong to transfer the task of contacting intelligence personnel to his assistant, and rushed to Jiangxia to inquire about Sun Quanjun's movements.

Ma Zhong did not dare to slack off after receiving the letter, leaving two members of the Dark Moon Group to take over his task, took a member of the Dark Moon Group and two girls of the Swallow Group, disguised as two couples selling Shu brocade and bought a boat to the east, a day later, Ma Zhong and the other four arrived at Jiangjin Port outside Jiangxia City, Jiangjin Port is very large, with a radius of twenty miles, and is one of the largest civilian ports in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Even the rafts and bamboo rafts were not spared, and even the cabin where the ladies lived had to be checked.

"Captain, what do they seem to be looking for?" Lu Ren, a member of the Dark Moon Group, asked Ma Zhong, "Who are you looking for?" If you only check for prohibited materials, there is no need to be so strict. "Lu Ren is one of the first veterans to join the Dark Moon Group, and he has rich experience behind enemy lines, and in this battle of Jingzhou, it was Lu Ren who assisted Ma Zhong to steal Guzi City, so that the commander of the Wu Ban army went straight in, and the credit was not small.

Ma Zhong also saw the strange behavior of Sun Quan's water army, and ordered: "Throw the weapon into the river secretly, they will definitely come to check on us, so that Ling'er and Xiaoli are ready to find out the news." Lu Ren quickly flashed into the cabin, threw the sword hidden in the silk into the river through the secret door in the bilge, and also explained to Ling'er and Xiaoli, who had been guarding Zhuo Ying in Jiameng Pass, Xiaoli threw a wink and said: "Don't worry, no matter how strict Jiangdongjun's mouth is, we can also take out the time when their parents gave birth to them from their mouths." ”

Sure enough, as Ma Zhong expected, as soon as Lu Ren returned to the cabin, two Sun Quanjun speedboats stopped Ma Zhong and the others' boats, and five or six Sun Quanjun jumped on the boats horizontally, and the first colonel shouted: "Who are you waiting for?" What to do in Jiangxia? ”

"This military master, the villains are from Yizhou, selling silk to Jiangxia for sale." Ma Zhong is a language genius, speaking fluent Sichuan dialect with a smile, and holding the road guide with both hands, the Jiangdong Army Colonel took the inspection, several soldiers had already rushed into the cabin to check, Ma Zhong pretended to exclaim: "The military master can't, the cabin is cheap, and men and women are not kissed." Before the words fell, the exclamations of Xiaoli and Ling'er were heard in the cabin, and the two girls stumbled out of the cabin, hiding in the arms of Ma Zhong and Lu Ren and shivering, but they really looked a little delicate girl.

"Madam, don't be afraid, it's just a routine search, I've seen the military master soon." Ma Zhong patted Xiaoli in his arms and said, Xiaoli pretended to be relieved, turned to bow down to Yingying, the junior colonel of the Jiangdong Army, and said coquettishly: "The people's daughter asks for peace to the military master, the military master is auspicious." ”

When Xiaoli straightened up again, those Sun Quanjun soldiers couldn't help but light up, and Xiaoli, who had been carefully selected and trained by famous prostitutes in Chang'an for a long time, was picturesque, wearing a very well-fitting Han women's dress, her breasts were slightly exposed, and her dark hair was tied into cloud sideburns, which made her skin white and tender and attractive, which made a lot of Sun Quanjun soldiers swallow saliva, and Ling'er was not much inferior to Xiaoli, although her chest was not as plump as Xiaoli, her face was delicate but too good, and the two women stood side by side, just like a peony and orchid, each with its own merits.

"Master Jun, do you have anything else to check?" Lu Ren pretended to ask, and Colonel Sun Quanjun woke up like a dream, and even forgot about the goose plucking during the routine inspection of the cargo ship, and replied casually: "Don't check anything, you can go ashore." When he said this, the little colonel's eyes were still rolling on Xiao Li's plump chest, and he refused to take away anything, Xiao Li took the opportunity to step forward, hugged the little colonel's arm, rubbed his chest and said coquettishly: "Master Jun, there are so many officers and soldiers on the river, the slave family is so afraid, is it okay to bother the military master to send the slave family ashore?" ”

The little school's bones were almost crispy, and he said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, no problem." With a wave of his hand, the two Sun Jun clippers turned, and the small boat guarding Ma Zhong and others approached the shore, Xiaoli clapped her hands and applauded, and couldn't stop thanking the little school, and her body was almost thrown into the arms of the little school, and asked this and that from time to time, the little school ate Xiaoli's tofu, and naturally knew everything, and Ma Zhong pretended to have an angry expression, turned his back with a straight face, and didn't look at his wife seducing the man.

When the boat arrived on the shore, Xiaoli and the junior colonel Sun Quanjun said goodbye in tears, and then sorted out the clothes that had been messed up by the junior colonel, returned to the cabin and reported to Ma Zhong in a low voice: "Captain, the junior colonel is a direct subordinate of the Jiangdong Navy Governor, and he was ordered by Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wucheng, to recruit skilled sailors in Jiangxia. ”

"Recruiting sailors is just a cover!" Ma Zhong said categorically: "I have accurate information, there are many skilled sailors in Chaisang, Jianye and other places, and Sun Quanjun is willing to seek near and far, and there must be a hidden secret." Ma Zhong asked again: "Then what are they looking for, did they ask?" ”

"They're looking for an old man in his fifties." Xiaoli said with a smile: "That guy also said that if we meet an old man who is about fifty years old and looks like a soldier, it is likely that he will still have injuries on his body, and he will be sent to their army immediately, and there will be a heavy reward." ”

"About fifty? What does a soldier look like? Still wounded? Ma Zhong muttered, pondering for a moment, a shadow suddenly flashed in Ma Zhong's heart, and he lost his voice: "It's him, it must be Huang Gai!" ”

"Huang Gai? Is it the Master who ordered us to look for that person? Xiaoli, Lu Ren and the others asked in surprise.

"That's right! I once saw Huang Gai in Jiujiang, and his appearance was the same as what Zhou Yu and others were looking for. Ma Zhong nodded and said: "Since the change in Maicheng, Huang Gai has disappeared without a trace, and Huang Gai is also the only person who can prove that the Taishi gave the treasure knife to Zhou Yu. ”

Xiaoli, Lu Ren and others were overjoyed, since Dong Boss had the black cauldron that killed Sun Jian on his back, Sun Ce had made several big fuss in Fuling, Yong'an and Xiangyang, and had to avenge his father, Dong Boss's youngest daughter Dong Xuan also came to the book several times to settle accounts with her father, so that Dong Boss didn't dare to see his daughter and son-in-law, so he could only temporarily put his son-in-law in prison, lest Sun Ce do anything stupid. If the yellow cover can be found, it will undoubtedly be another great achievement for the Dark Moon Group and the Swallow Group.

"Lu Ren, Ling'er, the two of you stay on the boat and secretly monitor whether Sun Quanjun has found Huang Gai." Ma Zhong decisively ordered: "Xiaoli, you and I entered Jiangxia City under the pretext of looking for a silk buyer to find information. ”

Along the way, Xiaoli couldn't help but be harassed by Sun Quanjun's soldiers, fortunately, Xiaoli often encountered similar situations, flirting and driving away the soldiers who stuck up, and then successfully arrived at the Jiangxia City Gate, the guards at the city gate were stricter than Jiangshang, fortunately, the road guide in Ma Zhong's hand was genuine, so he could enter the city, Rao is so, Xiaoli's chest was still pinched I don't know how many times.

After entering the city, Ma Zhong and Xiaoli used the excuse to inquire about the silk village in the city, and slowly found the official office, as soon as they arrived at the yamen, Ma Zhong and Xiaoli saw a large number of Sun Quanjun soldiers and Jiangxia people gathered outside the door, and in the circle was a Sun Quanjun civilian official who was spitting and slandering Dong Zhuojun and Dong Boss, which was nothing more than those Dong Zhuojun murder, arson, rape, rape and plunder, Dong Boss was lustful and cruel and murderous, and tried his best to encourage Jiangxia Zhuangding to join Sun Quanjun, if it wasn't for Xiaoli's accurate information in advance, Ma Zhong would definitely be misled, thinks that Sun Quanjun is really just here to recruit soldiers.

"Husband, it's so cold." Xiaoli pretended to be afraid of the cold, hid in Ma Zhong's arms and whispered, "Captain, have you paid attention?" The team of soldiers in special armor had their eyes fixed on the older people in the crowd, and several old men wearing felt hats and hats were also deliberately touched off their hats. ”

"Madame, I advise you to wear more clothes, but you just won't listen." After Ma Zhong said loudly to others, he said in a low voice: "See, that team of soldiers is Zhou Yu's personal soldiers, and the general who led the team should be Xu Sheng, according to intelligence reports, he is Zhou Yu's confidant." ”

"If you wear thick clothes, you won't look good." Xiaoli pretended to be coquettish, and said in a low voice: "What should I do then?" The city must also be full of Zhou Yu's spies, if Huang Gai is really in the city, it must be Zhou Yu's people who find it first. ”

"Madame looks good in whatever she wears." Ma Zhong laughed, hugged Xiaoli and turned to leave, setting aside a stranger who was already staring at them, Ma Zhong said in a low voice: "If I were Huang Gai, I would definitely not appear in a crowded place, let's go find it elsewhere." ”

Look for? Although Jiangxia City is not as large as those super-large cities in Luoyang, Chang'an, it also has a population of nearly 200,000, which is a big city in the late Han Dynasty, Ma Zhong and Xiaoli walked from noon to evening, their legs were about to break, Huang Gai still had no shadow, and Ma Zhong noticed that someone was already following him, Ma Zhong had no choice but to find a cloth village casually, pretending to talk about business to eliminate Sun Quanjun's suspicions of spies on himself.

Coincidentally, as soon as Ma Zhong and Xiaoli stepped into the door of the Buzhuang store, someone in the group of people in the store shouted: "Madam, we are really fateful, I didn't expect to meet here again." ”

Ma Zhong and Xiaoli took a closer look, and saw that the group of people was actually the same team of Sun Quanjun who checked their boat today, led by the colonel who had taken advantage of Xiaoli, Ma Zhong and Xiaoli noticed at the same time that the group of people was still holding a pile of black cloth in their hands - the same color as Dong Zhuojun's military uniform! Without waiting for Ma Zhong's orders, Xiaoli twisted the water snake's waist and leaned up, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, you are bad, you don't go to perform military affairs, but you come to buy fabrics for your wife." ”

The little colonel laughed, quickly touched Xiaoli's chest, and said with a lewd smile: "Madame misunderstood, the villain is still single, these fabrics were bought by the general on the orders of the villain, and this is also a military affair." ”

Xiaoli and Ma Zhong were shocked at the same time, Xiaoli remained silent, almost leaned on the little school's arms, and beat the little school's chest with disgust, "Liar, although the slave family is a people's girl, they also know that the purchase of items in the army is for the quartermaster to buy them in a centralized manner, and that round will get you." Without waiting for the little colonel to speak, a soldier next to him said attentively: "Madame doesn't know, our Captain Qin is a fellow villager of General Xu Sheng, and when we encounter a good thing to buy, we naturally want to take care of our Captain Qin." ”

Xiaoli was overjoyed, she and Ma Zhong often cooperated, and she didn't even need to give Ma Zhong a look, so she snuggled in the arms of the little school, nodded the forehead of the little school swayingly, and said coquettishly: "Bad things, tell me honestly, how much benefit can you get from this procurement?" Half of the meeting is divided. ”

The little school was overjoyed, and regardless of Xiaoli's honorary husband in front of him, his big hand was almost openly placed on Xiaoli's chest, and he smiled lewdly: "Of course you can divide it in half, but what does Madame use to thank me?" ”

"Slut!" Ma Zhongtie's face was blue. rushed to Xiaoli, gave Xiaoli a slap in the face, and scolded: "Slut, come over to me, and then be coquettish here, I will divorce you!" "It happened suddenly, and the whole store was shocked.

"Useless stuff." Xiaoli stroked her swollen face that was beaten by Ma Zhong, and scolded like a shrew: "I'm useless, and you still blame me for being coquettish, I've been married for two years, have you ever satisfied me once?" Fake man! ”

As soon as Xiaoli said this, everyone in the store pointed at Ma Zhong and laughed, and Ma Zhong pretended to be angry, his face turned from blue to white with anger, and he stretched out his hand to hit Xiaoli again, but Xiaoli quickly hid behind the little colonel, crying and saying: "Master Jun save me, this useless man, I don't want to follow him anymore." ”

The little school was overjoyed, this was the peach blossom luck that fell from the sky, took the opportunity to grab Ma Zhong's hand, and laughed: "Useless man, your wife doesn't want to follow you anymore, just give her to me, I will definitely take care of your wife." Ma Zhong was willing to give Xiaoli to others, and in a hurry, he went to beat the colonel, but unfortunately he hadn't touched the colonel, and the soldiers had already beaten him.

"Don't fight, don't fight." Ma Zhong was beaten and rolled on the ground, crying bitterly: "Master Jun, if you like it, I will go and write a letter of resignation and give her to Master Jun, just ask you not to fight." ”

It wasn't until Ma Zhong was beaten that his nose and face were swollen, and then the little colonel told his subordinates to stop, stepped on Ma Zhong's chest and said, "Okay, you write a letter of resignation, and I will spare you." Xiaoli snuggled on the shoulder of the little colonel and said: "Xianggong, when the slave family married him, he brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and now he is still on the ship, we will go to the ship tomorrow to find him to write a letter of resignation, and then take back my gold and silver jewelry by the way." The little school's mouth almost smiled crookedly, and he said that this time it was really a gain for both people and money, and after coercing Ma Zhong to return Xiaoli's gold and silver jewelry, he hugged Xiaoli and left.

Ma Zhong was still crying there, and the kind shopkeeper helped him up and persuaded: "This guest officer, don't cry, those officers and soldiers are used to being domineering, and you meet such a woman again, you are unlucky, you want to open some!" ”

"Slut, if you fall into my hands, I must make you look good." Ma Zhong rubbed the bruises on his body and cried, and at the same time scolded fiercely in his heart: "Damn girl, it's true, when I go back, I will definitely clean you up in bed." ”
