Chapter 343: The Prelude

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu looked at the burly young man and said affirmatively, "Of course you can." ”

Zong Tong sneered beside him, and said disappreciatively: "Still thinking about adding an official to a knight? Do you think it's so easy to make a meritorious contribution in the army? You have to kill the enemy to have a good fight! ”

The burly young man said, "I can kill the enemy!" ”

"Huangkou Xiaoer, don't be ashamed!" Zong Tong sneered and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"In the dismount, the word Jun Qian!" The burly young man straightened his chest and said.

Ma Cheng, it sounds like a bit impressed. Zong Tong pondered for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized. He turned his head to Liu Xiu Zhengse and said, "General Liu, this person must not stay in our army!" ”

Liu Xiu looked puzzled, and didn't understand why Zong Tong said this.

Zong Tong Zhengse said: "When our army captured Yuncheng, a group of county officials in Yuncheng were sold into slavery, and this Ma Cheng was one of the county officials in Yuncheng!" ”

Oh, I see! Liu Xiu looked at Ma Cheng, no wonder this person is extraordinary, quite majestic, not like an ordinary house slave, he used to be a county official in Yuncheng. Before Liu Xiu could speak, Ma Cheng said loudly: "General Liu promised that we can voluntarily join the army, since this is the case, General Zong should not drive me away again, not to mention, if I go to the battlefield, the number of enemies I kill may not be less than that of General Zong."

Yo! What a breath! Ma Cheng's words are tantamount to provoking Zong Tong in public.

The corners of Zong Tong's mouth were hooked, he laughed, and said coldly: "Ma Cheng, I will see that you don't know the height of the sky!" Since you have the courage to speak, you have to have the courage to bear it! Come out, today Ben will teach you a lesson, yellow-mouthed boy! "Ma Cheng is really not afraid of Zong Tong, to be exact, now Ma Cheng is also open, if he can't seize the current opportunity, it will be difficult to get ahead in the future, and if he seizes this opportunity, the future development is probably not

He was second to him as a county official in the county government.

Liu Xiu's impression of Ma Cheng is quite good, he has both a dignified appearance and a dignified atmosphere. Of course, he also wanted to see what Ma Cheng was capable of, and dared to challenge Zong Tong in public.

You must know that Zong Tong is a veteran in the Green Forest Army, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, his martial arts are strong, and ordinary people can't get to him at all.

Seeing Ma Cheng come out, Zong Tong returned his hand and pulled out the saber under his ribs. Ma Cheng bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "General Liu, can you borrow a sword from the villain?" ”

Liu Xiu looked back at Long Yuan behind him, who stepped forward, drew his sword, and handed it to Ma Cheng. The latter thanked him, took Long Yuan's sword, and walked towards Zong Tong.

Seeing him coming straight up, Zong Tong snorted, stabbed with a sword, and went straight to Ma Cheng's chest. The latter swung the sword in his hand outward, and when it was long, Zong Tong's sword was blocked.

Zong Tong's face changed slightly, and then he took a sliding step, flashed to Ma Cheng's side, and stabbed him under the ribs with another sword. Ma Cheng's body turned slightly, still swinging his sword outward, blocking Zong Tong's sword again.

missed two blows in a row, and Zong Tong's face was a little unbearable.

He snorted, stabbing out six or seven swords in a row, and the swords did not leave Ma Cheng's vital point. Ma Cheng didn't dodge either, and calmly waved his sword to block, blocking all of Zong Tong's six or seven swords.

Just when Zong Tong's strength was exhausted and his stamina had not been filled, Ma Cheng suddenly approached forward, stabbed forward with the sword in his hand, and took Zong Tong's throat.

In the eyes of others, his sword is not opportunistic, it is a straight sword. But the face of Zong Tong on the other side changed. This sword came at him, and he saw it most intuitively. Ma Cheng stabbed this sword, the tip of the sword kept shaking left and right, it was obvious that no matter which direction he dodged, the other party would immediately make a change of move

and stab him with a deadly sword.

Ma Cheng's first move made Zong Tong gasp and said secretly: It's a master! He didn't dare to dodge easily, so he had to raise the sword in his hand and block it in front of him.

While! Ma Cheng's sword was piercing the sword body of Zong Tong's sword.

With a piercing golden sound, Zong Tong put his feet on the ground and slid backwards more than half a meter away. He felt his sword-wielding arm sore and swollen, painful and numb.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Ma Cheng walked up to him leisurely, jumped up, and stabbed out a sword condescendingly.

As in the situation just now, the tip of his sword was still floating, making it impossible to tell whether this was a real move or a false move.

Zong Tong had no choice, he still didn't dare to dodge, he stiffened, raised his sword again, and blocked with the blade of the sword, but this time he used both hands, grasping the hilt of the sword with one hand and pushing the blade with the other.

When!

The sound of the iron colliding was even sharper than before. Zong Tong leaned back, and his feet slid a meter away on the ground before he could stop. This time, everyone present was surprised. If Ma Cheng's first sword made Zong Tong suffer a loss, it was out of his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, then against the second sword of the carriage, Zong Tong obviously used all his strength, but he was still shocked so far by someone's blow, this Ma Cheng's strength is okay

It's not easy!

Ma Cheng was unforgiving, to be precise, he vented his humiliation and resentment about being sold into slavery on Zong Tong. He continued to walk towards Zong Tong, and the sword in his hand was raised again, and it seemed that he was about to stab Zong Tong with another sword.

At this time, Liu Xiu stepped forward quickly, stood between Ma Cheng and Zong Tong, waved his hand and said, "Okay, the competition between the two of them will end here!" "After all, Zong Tong is the hussar general of the Han army, if he is really defeated by Ma Cheng, a domestic slave, it will not only lose the face of Zong Tong alone, but also the face of the Han army, in addition, Liu Xiu's impression of Zong Tong is not bad, at least Zong Tong is not

There are so many fancy intestines, and there are no intrigues and tricks, which are much stronger than Wang Kuang, Chen Mu, Zhu Kun, Zhang Wei, and Li Yi.

Seeing Liu Xiu stand up, Ma Cheng took two deep breaths to calm his emotions, and then, he held his sword in both hands, bowed his body, and respectfully handed it forward. While Liu Xiu took the sword, he nodded to Ma Cheng with a smile.

Then, he returned the sword in his hand to Long Yuan, and said to Zong Tong on the other side: "General Zong, I think Ma Cheng's skills are good, and when he goes to the battlefield, he can indeed help our army, so it's better to leave him behind!" ”

Zong Tong is not a fool, he is like a mirror in his heart, Liu Xiu stood up at this time, in fact, he helped himself out of the siege, in terms of martial arts, he is really not as good as this Ma Cheng.

Everyone has invested in it, and he naturally wants to repay it. Zong Tong gasped twice, withdrew the sword in his hand into the scabbard, and naturally put his hands behind his back. In fact, at this time, his palms were shaking violently.

He said quietly: "Ma Cheng, if it weren't for General Liu's intercession for you, I would definitely not keep you in the army, wouldn't you thank General Liu soon?" ”

Ma Cheng didn't say a word, immediately turned around, saluted Liu Xiushen, and said, "Thank you, general, villain!" ”

"You don't have to be polite." Liu Xiu waved his hand and helped Ma Cheng.

Liu Xiu called him directly, obviously appreciating him very much and having a sense of closeness. Ma Cheng was born as a county official, and his mind was clear, he only pondered it slightly, and immediately changed his words and said: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Well! Pretty smart! Liu Xiu looked at Ma Cheng's eyes, and there was more appreciation. He patted Ma Cheng's arm and said with a smile: "In the future, if you work hard in the army, you will definitely be able to do a lot with Jun Qian's martial arts!" ”

"Subordinates remember the teachings of the Lord!" Ma Cheng bowed to the ground again.

Of the more than 600 house slaves, none of them chose to leave, and all of them ended up in the army. While they were being given armor and weapons, many people came outside the camp gate, and these people also came to join the army.

Looking at the people who were brought in from outside by the soldiers, there were almost thousands of people, Zong Tong almost laughed and smiled bitterly.

I have been in Yuncheng for so many days, and only a few dozen soldiers have been recruited, but Liu Xiucai has only been in Yuncheng for a day, and more than 1,600 people have been recruited.

Seeing that Zong Tong shook his head and sighed beside him, Liu Xiu smiled and said: "If it weren't for General Zong's proper governance in Yuncheng, which was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and supported by the people, it would be impossible for us to recruit so many people today!" ”

Liu Xiu is too good at figuring out human nature and knows how to grasp people's minds too well. As soon as he heard this, Zong Tong couldn't help but blush, waved his hand again and again, and said, "General Liu is too awarded, this is ...... Where's my credit for this......"

"General Zong doesn't have to be humble, if our army can defeat the reckless army this time, General Zong will make a lot of contributions."

"Hey, hey......" Zong Tong grinned and let out a series of smirks.

Liu Xiu is not pretending to be generous now, deliberately giving up work, but paving the way, paving the road in the future, and trying to win people's hearts as much as possible.

The Green Forest is not monolithic, and even if it is, he has to do everything he can to divide it at every opportunity.

At the moment of the great enemy, of course, he has to go all out, but he also has to take into account the internal political struggle. Liu Xiu's visit to Yuncheng this time can be said to be a worthwhile trip, recruiting more than 1,600 people, plus more than 300 people under Zong Tong's command, making up 2,000 people. Liu Xiu and Zong Tong left Yuncheng with 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry under their command

Dingling.

As a result, before they arrived at Dingling, they received the news that the Mang army was approaching Kunyang.

Hearing the news, Liu Xiu and Zong Tong didn't care about going to Dingling to recruit troops anymore, so they led 3,000 subordinates and hurriedly went straight to Kunyang.

After the Mang army arrived in Kunyang, they were already ready to attack the city, but suddenly heard that a Han army was killed behind them, and Wang Yi ordered the whole army to suspend the siege and annihilate the Han army from the rear first.

Wang Yi sent his generals Tian Heng and Liao Ying to lead the army to meet the Han army.

Kunyang. Wang Feng, Wang Chang and other generals who stood on the head of the city and watched saw that the Mang army outside the city suddenly divided part of its forces and headed east.

Wang Changcheng immediately realized that it must be Liu Xiu who led reinforcements to come to help.

He said to Wang Feng urgently: "Chengguo Gong, the Mang army suddenly gave up the siege of the city and divided the troops to the east, it must be Uncle Wen who led the reinforcements to come, and our troops should immediately go out of the city and attack the Mang army with Uncle Wen!" ”

This was the tactic they had agreed upon. Wang Feng and Wang Chang stayed in Kunyang, and Liu Xiu went outside to find reinforcements, and then gave the Mang army a combination of inside and outside, attacking from both sides.

After Wang Chang finished speaking, he stretched his neck and looked at the movement of the reckless army outside the city, and waited for a while, but he couldn't wait for Wang Feng to answer, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Feng.

I saw that Wang Feng's forehead and sideburns had oozed a layer of sweat.

When I didn't see the 150,000 reckless army, 150,000 was just a number, and it was not so powerful.

And now, the 150,000 reckless army is standing outside the city, standing right under his nose, at this time Wang Feng really feels what a 150,000 army is.

The sky is overwhelming, boundless, that is, a vast ocean composed of people. So many people, even if they are all turned into wooden stakes, standing still and not fighting back, leaving them to cut and kill, they will not be able to kill them all. Wang Chang looked at Wang Feng blankly, as an old comrade-in-arms and old brother, he was too familiar with Wang Feng, and muttered secretly in his heart, at such a critical moment, you must not be cowardly!
