It was nearly dusk, and both sides of the battle were exhausted, and at the same time Mingjin withdrew his troops. Yang Mingyi looked at the soldiers who had returned alive, tears fell like rain, and he couldn't cry: after a day of fierce fighting, the Huben battalion had completely lost its numerical advantage. If they fight again tomorrow, the Red Turban Army will fight more and less. Zhong Guogong now understands that all his efforts are to run with his head and slam into an iron wall, except for knocking himself unconscious, it has no effect.

Jiang Shoufu sat beside him with blank eyes, and it was the first time he saw Zhongguo Gong crying in public like this, and he should have comforted him a few words. But he was also cold in his heart, and he couldn't even say a word. I think that at the beginning, the Black Flag army was strong and strong, and the siege of the city was like a bamboo, and the brothers were invincible. But later, with the expansion of the territory, except for Yang Mingyi's intention to let Nie Yunniang's department still rush to the front, the rest of the people lived a relaxed life of pleasure.

Constant infighting, constant turf grabbing, intrigue among the generals at the top, and spending all day and wine among the soldiers at the bottom, and few people pay attention to the training of the troops, and the continuous decline in combat effectiveness will lead to today's situation. It's too late to say anything now, and it is impossible to greatly increase the combat strength of the army overnight, and the military general's strength has skyrocketed, so the lord must be persuaded to do so, otherwise I am afraid that this family foundation will also collapse if we fight again tomorrow. And even if they evacuate, they can't let the Red Turban Army notice, once these bandits stop and chase after them, it will really be no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiliang said: "Grandpa Guo doesn't need to worry too much, but with the current situation, our army is not suitable to fight again, it is inevitable to abandon Wanzhou, and it is the best policy to retreat and defend the side according to the danger!" ”

Yang Mingyi stopped sobbing, blew a handful of snot and wiped it on Jiang Qiliang's thigh. patted his knees and said in a hoarse voice: "My father is physically and mentally exhausted, everything should be done according to Jiang Shoufu's wishes!" ”。

Early the next morning, the Red Turban Army set up a position, but when the sun came up, there was no movement of the opponent's reinforcements. Zhang Baiqian and Du Zhongnian couldn't help but pick up their horses and walked to Guan Yu's side, and Zhang Baiqian asked suspiciously: "Why haven't you seen the enemy's reinforcements coming to attack yet?" ”。

Guan Yu looked up at the silent enemy camp standing in the distance, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's so quiet there, it must be that the camp is empty." The good days of taking a bite of dumplings and nibbling on buns are over, so you can send some brothers to take back all the things that can be used in the empty camp and use them as the quartermaster of our army. ”

Zhang Baiqian was surprised: "The general is so determined? If that's the case, we don't need too many men to attack the city, so why don't we raise an army to pursue it? ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said: "The enemy army has spent a long time camping because of the suspicion formation, since they are determined to evacuate, it is estimated that they will slip away in the middle of the night, and they will definitely not be able to catch up, so we should eat this plate of dumplings in Wanzhou City with peace of mind!" ”。

He turned to give the order to attack the city again, when he suddenly saw the gates open and a white flag raised over the city. Du Zhongnian behind him said: "Okay, I don't have any dumplings to eat now!" ”。

The generals of the defending army stood on the tower from dawn, looking forward to their reinforcements. On the solstice, there was no human figure. The general defending the city suddenly realized: Grandpa Guo is going to lose the car to protect the handsome! In despair, he hesitated again and again, and at this moment he finally made up his mind: fuck it, surrender the city!

Ma Rushuang carefully settled Butcher Zhang's family, and then returned to the Chinese army's tent to ask his father for peace. The strong, bearded man with the hat had already gone to the hat and stood beside his father with his hands down. He is actually Ma Maoxun's personal guard, and his name is Gao Ming.

Ma Maoxun smiled lovingly and said to his daughter, "Shuang'er, I heard that you are causing trouble outside again?" ”

Ma Rushuang pursed her lips and blushed and said, "Daddy, don't listen to Uncle Gao's nonsense!" I don't call it trouble, it's clear that the road is uneven, draw a knife to help! That is, he just killed a dozen evil officials, which is not a big deal. ”

Ma Maoxun shook his head and said, "You crazy girl, you are becoming more and more lawless!" Kill a dozen people, and it won't matter to you? ”

Ma Rushuang grabbed Bai and said: "Daddy once taught our brothers and sisters to follow the good as the flow and eliminate the evil. Why doesn't what you say now count? ”

Ma Maoxun looked up to the sky and laughed: "A good one is like a stream, and he will do everything to eliminate evil, and you still remember it." Daddy didn't blame you, it was well done. However, what kind of system does a girl's family have become when they fight and kill every day? If you have time, learn from your aunt and do what your daughter's family should do. ”

Ma Rushuang raised her little face, stared at her black and white eyes and said, "Daddy's words are wrong!" Who said that the daughter's family can only pick up needles and threads, not knives and guns? ”

Ma Maoxun was choked, he turned his face and said to Gao Ming with a wry smile: "Take a look, because this girl has no mother, I am always used to her." I'm not married yet, and I can't even say it as a father! ”

Ma Rushuang was ashamed and angry, stomped her feet and said coquettishly: "Daddy, can you talk well?" If you mention marrying someone again, people will ignore you! ”。

Ma Maoxun turned his face and smiled, "What's wrong?" Men should get married, women should get married, it's just right, this can't be said? ”。

Ma Rushuang bowed deeply and said, "Daddy, if there is nothing wrong, my daughter will retire first." After speaking, without waiting for Ma Maoxun to reply, he turned around and twisted Yang Liu's thin waist and walked away.

Ma Maoxun looked at his daughter's back, shook his head and said to Gao Ming in a low voice: "Looking at this girl's reaction, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the He family to propose marriage!" ”

Gao Ming bowed slightly: "Dashuai, why don't you create an opportunity for them to meet by chance first, maybe they can create some sparks?" ”。

Ma Maoxun nodded slightly and said, "You let the kid surnamed He arrange this matter by himself!" ”。

Three days later, Ma Maoxun arranged for his daughter to go to the grain field thirty miles away alone to do some errands. When Ma Rushuang rode past a small forest, more than a dozen strong men suddenly rushed out of it and blocked her way.

The leader shouted: "Well, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to fight this place, and leave it to buy road wealth!" ”

Ma Rushuang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Are you bandits?" Let's come up together! My aunt and grandmother just have itchy hands. ”

These dozen or so "bandits" were immediately stunned, obviously not expecting them to be so popular.

Before they could move, saying that it was too late, Ma Rushuang urged the mount under his crotch to rush up, brandishing a horsewhip and slashing his head and face.

The "bandit leader", who didn't have time to react at all, screamed miserably, covered his cheeks and fell down. When the rest of the bandits saw this formation, they panicked and turned around to escape.

Suddenly, there was a shout, and a young man in white with a knife jumped out of the woods and stopped in front of Ma Rushuang's horse. He turned to the bandits and shouted: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, you dare to block the road and rob, see that I don't clean you up!" ”。 As he spoke, he slashed at the bandits, and the bandits scattered and fled, and even the "bandit leader" lying on the ground quickly got up and slipped into the woods with a puff of smoke.

The young man in white chased two steps, then turned back, hugged his fist at Ma Rushuang and said: "In Xia He Tianzhong, I happened to pass by from here, and saw that the girl was surrounded by bandits, so he drew his sword to help, and dared to ask the girl's name?" ”

Ma Rushuang did not answer his question, but said indignantly: "What kind of mess are you making? I haven't had enough! ”

He Tianzong smiled awkwardly and said, "The girl is so good at kung fu, it seems that there is no need to worry about it!" ”。

Ma Rushuang snorted angrily, and hit the horse without looking back. He Tianzong shouted behind his back: "Girl, girl, you haven't told me your name yet!" ”

He Tianzong shook his head, turned around and slowly entered the grove. At the other end of the woods, the gang of "bandits" was gathering tremblingly. Seeing He Tianzong coming over, the "bandit leader" covered his face, cried and greeted him, and said hurriedly: "Young master, you can give us more silver, look at my face and let that girl smoke, how can I see people in the future?" ”。

He Tianzhong waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, you idiots, you guys didn't do it yet, you let the family beat it, and you smashed it in a play, and you are embarrassed to add money?" ”。

The "bandit leader" said unrelentingly: "How can you do it without adding silver?" I have to look for Lang Zhong for the wound on my face, right? ”

He Tianzong took out the silver from his arms and said dissatisfiedly: "That's all, you guys look at it!" ”

Before the words fell, a laugh like a silver bell suddenly came from behind: "Hehe, you are really in a group with them!" I'll just say, I've been walking this road for several years, and I've never encountered any bandits! ”。

He Tianzong turned around in shock, only to see Ma Rushuang gently slapping the horsewhip on the palm of his left hand, with a mocking smile on his face, looking at him with playful eyes.

Seeing him turn around, Ma Rushuang's face sank, and she said lightly: "Explain to my aunt and grandmother honestly, what trick do you want to play?" ”

Gao Ming hurriedly walked to Ma Maoxun's side, clasped his fists and saluted softly: "Dashuai, it's bad, it's bad, the kid surnamed He really can't do anything, not only failed to please Miss Rushuang, but was beaten up by her." ”

Ma Maoxun stood up in surprise and asked, "Is that kid seriously injured?" ”

Gao Ming replied: "It's okay, the nose is blue and the face is swollen, it's just some skin trauma." But this family business must be yellow! ”。

Ma Maoxun frowned and sighed: "That's it, you bring more gifts when you go back, and go to He's house to apologize for me!" This little ancestor, I really can't do anything about her, I can't beat or scold, let her go! ”。

At this time, Ma Rushuang was talking and laughing with her younger brother Ma Chengen as if she was fine, the age difference between the sister and brother was only more than a year, although they were half-brothers, but because they grew up together since childhood, they got along well, and they were closer than their own sisters and brothers.

Ma Chengen smiled and said, "Sister, I heard Uncle Gao say that you beat up your future brother-in-law, is there really such a thing?" ”

Ma Rushuang said angrily: "What future brother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense, little brat! The person my sister is going to marry in the future must be a hero of the world! Just that He Gongzi who pretended to be a ghost, he couldn't eat me with three punches and two kicks and was beaten down, how can he be your brother-in-law? ”。
