"General, we have been fooled!" A pro-soldier beside Ma Fangyu said loudly, "Only we ran here, but the other two groups of people have never been seen." ”

Ma Fangyu's face was gloomy, what kind of grasshopper on a rope was just wishful thinking. Where did Zhang Jun, the old horseman, and Li Shi run away now?

"General, where are we going? Back to Luanzhou? Another pro-soldier asked. These people are all from Luanzhou, and their families are all in Luanzhou. Even if he lost the battle, he still wanted to return to his hometown in Luanzhou. It's a big deal, it's better to go home and be a common man than to wander around.

The corners of Ma Fangyu's mouth twitched, of course he knew the thoughts of his subordinates, but he was really unwilling to go back and be a city gate guard, not to mention that now he had defected from Wan Shengjun, let alone continue to be a city gatekeeper, I am afraid that if he is caught by Wan Shengjun, he will kill him first. His subordinates are different, they are now going back, and they are still their ordinary people.

Ma Fangyu tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "Today, we defected to the Wansheng Army, and you have all seen it, the Wansheng Army pursued overnight, you are fortunate to have mounts, and you can escape here with me, if you go back, you will definitely be arrested by the Wansheng Army, and if you don't kill it, you will be enslaved." Your family, hum, I'm afraid they're going to be enslaved too. Your lady, I'm afraid she will also become someone else's concubine. ”

As soon as he spoke, the people below were silent. After all, aren't they working so hard just for their wives and children to live well? If you go back, if it is really as Ma Fangyu said, then wouldn't you hurt the children in the family?

"I'll listen to the general's orders," a soldier said loudly, "but the Wansheng army is very eager to pursue it later, and if you run for your life like this, if you don't get killed by the Wansheng army, you will be dragged down and exhausted to death." Please tell me where to go? ”

Ma Fangyu saw that these people didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and said with satisfaction, "Don't worry, I'll take you to a place now." When you get there, you will have food and clothing, and you will have more money than you have now, so you don't have to work so hard. ”

"Where is it?"

"Where is such a good thing?"

"Let's go! Get on your way now! ”

Ma Fangyu's face was full of smiles, and he said loudly, "Far away in the sky, close to the riverbank - this area is full of puddles, it is close to the river port and seaside, and a hundred and ten miles to the south is the boundary river." After crossing the boundary river, it is the boundary of the Southern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty has always been generous to those who defected to the past, giving high-ranking officials and generous rewards, and treating the surrendered troops better than their own soldiers in the Southern Dynasty. He Li Che and Zhang Junruo came together, but they didn't show the preciousness of our waiting. ”

After Ma Fangyu finished happily, he thought that the soldiers below would cheer one by one, like just now, and then go on the road together and go straight to the Southern Dynasty. But when he finished speaking, he saw the soldiers below standing there one by one with strange faces, looking at him as if they didn't know him.

Ma Fangyu looked at the pro-army on the left and right, but the pro-army next to him was okay, he didn't look at him like that. The muscles on Ma Tianyu's face tried to smile again, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, when you arrive in the Southern Dynasty, with your skills, within half a year, you will all be able to mix with a military envoy, a deputy soldier and a horse envoy, and marry a delicate little lady." ”

The soldiers below who had been running all night and were full of embarrassment still looked at him coldly, and a soldier shouted loudly in the crowd, "If the general wants to go and ask for help, I will wait for my family in Luanzhou, and I dare not leave my hometown wife and children lightly." ”

With this shout, suddenly more soldiers shouted "Yes! We're going home! "Back to Luanzhou! ”。

Ma Fangyu's face changed, and he shouted, "You dare to commit a crime and not obey military orders?!" ”

"General, you insist on going to the Southern Dynasty, we have to go home, this will not be a general, a soldier is not a soldier, and it will be a bad relationship for many years if you start to do it, it is better to gather and disperse, and go your own way." A man dressed as a military envoy said loudly among the soldiers.

"Li Qinglan, I treat you well on weekdays, I can't imagine that you are such an ungrateful person!" Ma Fangyu pointed at the soldier who answered and scolded.

"You treat me well, but I, Li Qinglan, work hard for you, and I am even more worthy of you." This soldier named Li Qinglan said, "When you arrive in the Southern Dynasty, naturally you will have a lot of high-ranking officials and generous rewards, fine clothes and food, and many beautiful wives and concubines; But when I followed you to the Southern Dynasty, I was just sending people under the fence, begging for food, but I had to go away from home, and I couldn't bear to see my wife and children alone. If we are gone, we will be a father and a husband in vain! ”

Ma Fangyu saw that there were not a few soldiers below, except for his own two hundred pro-soldiers, the rest had to break with him, and he was busy with a smile on his face, and said, "Brothers, I took you to the Southern Dynasty to find a good place for everyone." Since you brothers don't want to leave their hometowns, then we will fight back to Luanzhou, dominate one side, and end up rich and noble. How is it? ”

After listening to Ma Fangyu, the soldiers below all laughed, Ma Fangyu thought that these soldiers had changed their minds and were about to speak, when the man named Li Qinglan smiled and said, "General, two days ago, 30,000 troops besieged Zunhua, but now they have ended up in front of them. ”

Ma Fangyu knew that these soldiers were playing tricks on him, and he was about to have a seizure, only to hear someone shouting among the soldiers, "Now everyone is going to break up his mother!" ”

"That's right! When Wansheng didn't choose us, go home and farm! ”

"I didn't see Wan Shengjun killing innocents indiscriminately."

"Why don't you go and surrender to the Wansheng Army?"

The group was angry, and some people even said that they wanted to arrest Ma Fangyu, and it was better to go to Wansheng Army to ask for credit. Ma Fangyu looked at the pro-army around him, these pro-army relied on him on weekdays and showed off his might in the army, but now seeing that the soldiers don't take Ma Fangyu in their eyes, where is the usual majesty? They all looked around nervously, and as soon as there was a stir, they immediately ran for their lives.

Ma Fangyu secretly hated in his heart, but he also knew that it was not the time for him to be ruthless, so he glanced at the pro-army around him, and the pro-army on the left and right immediately took out their knives and blocked in front of Ma Fangyu, but Ma Fangyu turned around and retreated, until he ran to his war horse, turned over his horse, and ran south.

A pro-soldier held a knife in his hand, but said to the soldiers in front, "Brothers, the old and young in the family, if it is convenient, take care of one or two, and it will be rewarded in the future!" These soldiers in front of them didn't mean to make a move, these pro-soldiers turned around and saw that Ma Fangyu had run away, they all put away their knives, bowed to these soldiers, and got on their horses to follow Ma Fangyu.

"Where are we going?"

"Go back to Zunhua and surrender, kill or stay, give a good time, and don't be afraid."

"General Li and General Di's men and horses have all surrendered, and I haven't seen anyone killed by Wansheng's army, it's all rumors surnamed Ma to scare us and let us give him his life."
