Although this is the case, Cheng Gongying still had to face the reality, and said: "The lord's words are wrong, there are so many heroes in the world, in terms of text, Guo and Cheng can be the geniuses of the world, but a certain and Feng are just the talents of a county, and the four of Wuzhi, although they are all tiger generals in the world, but with these four people, they want to impress the heroes of the world, I am afraid that Yelang is arrogant." What's more, now Guo Guicai is not by the lord's side! ”

Ma Zongheng heard this, and took a deep breath, from later generations, he didn't know that there are still many talented heroes who are enough to amaze the world have not yet been revealed, and with his team, it is really not enough to see. The loud words he made just now were just trying to persuade Cheng Gongying.

Seeing this, Ma Zongheng's eyes widened and he silently did not answer. Cheng Gongying suddenly sighed and said, "Isn't the lord already determined?" ”

"Even if I bear the infamy of the world, I will not hesitate to do it!" Ma Zongheng immediately looked shocked and shouted undoubtedly.

At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly came from outside the tent to report, saying that there were 100,000 urgent matters. Ma Zongheng and others couldn't help but change color, and they didn't know what had happened. Immediately, Xu Huang entered the account, and he was quick-witted, and he quickly noticed that the atmosphere was strange, and he was not lazy, and hurriedly said: "Return to the lord, just last night, the Huangpu family took advantage of the chaos in Niyang to rebel and rescued the Son of Heaven." And many of Dong's subordinates, seeing that Dong's qi was exhausted, turned against him one after another. Now the Northlands have been taken by a rebel named Vuk. And the Son of Heaven was heading east. I don't know whether to vote for Hedong or to merge with the state! However, in the villain's opinion, the reason why the Dong family destroyed miè this time is that the Ma family has contributed a lot, and it is very likely that His Majesty fled to Hedong! ”

As soon as Xu Huang said this, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but be secretly happy, and said quickly: "Very good!" In this case, I will immediately order someone to send a message to Wen Yuan, so that he can immediately go to meet His Majesty!! ”

"Lord!" When Cheng Gongying heard this, his face changed greatly, and he was afraid that Ma Zongheng would really dare to do something that would be disapproved by the world for the sake of his family. Ma Zongheng also understood Cheng Gongying's concerns, and immediately said: "I'm not stupid enough to that point!" Now that His Majesty has escaped, then I have no worries, why don't I rush back to Fufeng immediately and rescue my family!? ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he couldn't help but change color, and hurriedly said: "How can the lord say this?" ”

Ma Zongheng said with a deep face: "This matter is a long story, I will talk to you later." Gongying, this is the end of the matter, you don't have to stop me anymore! ”

Cheng Gongying listened, groaned for a while, and then sighed: "The lord has made up his mind, how dare I stop him?" But the lord is so important to me. I'm willing to make a plan, and maybe there will be a turnaround. After Cheng Gongying sighed lightly, he froze his expression, and no longer had the luxury of convincing Ma Zongheng to put the Son of Heaven first.

After all, if the son is not out of danger today, if he wants to focus on the overall situation, Ma Zongheng should return to Hedong as soon as possible, and after appeasing the Son of Heaven, he should quickly stabilize the situation, take the opportunity to establish a new government, and command the heroes.

However, Ma Zongheng chose to rush back to Xiliang, not to mention the chaos in Xiliang for the time being, and I don't know how much time it will take to go. And all the princes of the world are eyeing the Son of Heaven, but if there is a change in the east of the river, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save the fire from far away!

But Cheng Gongying, who is well versed in Ma Zongheng's temperament, also understands that Ma Zongheng has made the greatest concession, and no one can persuade him now.

"Gongying actually has a plan, why don't you say it quickly!?" Ma Zongheng didn't know Cheng Gongying's hard work, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly urged.

Cheng Gongying looked at it and immediately replied: "This time Yan Xing joined forces with Li Xuan, his ambition is obvious, with Han Sui's shrewd temperament, he will definitely not fight to the death, and he will only take action after my Ma family, Yan and Li fight to defeat each other." Therefore, if I am correct, Han Sui may have fled back to Jincheng at this time. And Jincheng is in the rear of Fufeng, once Yan and Li are defeated, Han Sui will pounce out, so it seems that the back road of the two has already been cut off! Therefore, the lord can quickly send someone to contact Han Sui, knowing the pros and cons, although Han Sui does not dare to find Yan Xing to settle accounts at this time, but he will complain in his heart and will definitely agree. ”

"You want me to join forces with Old Thief Han!?" When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, gritted his teeth and shouted.

"If the lord wants to be emotional, how can he achieve great things?" Cheng Gongying squinted, but he was not afraid of the horse, and said coldly.

As soon as Cheng Gongying's words came out, Pang and Xu couldn't help but change color. There is only one person in the army who once dared to drink Ma Zongheng like this, and that is Guo Jia, but Guo Jia's status in Ma Zongheng's heart is extraordinary. The two of them are afraid that Cheng Gongying will provoke Ma Zongheng and become angry!

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his blood immediately boiled, and his eyes immediately became fierce. But Cheng Gongying did not back down at all, and looked directly at Ma Zongheng.

In Cheng Gongying's tenacious and unyielding eyes, suddenly Ma Zongheng's mind flashed the figure of someone again, remembering that he was confused for a while and scolded away the strategist he relied on the most, but now he still regrets it, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "You are right." I shouldn't be emotional. ”

"The lord can understand this principle, it is really a blessing for our subordinates!" Cheng Gongying couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Ma Zongheng waved his hand and motioned for Cheng Gongying to continue. Cheng Gongying did not slack off, and immediately said: "In this way, as long as our army can put Yan and Li in a critical place." There is no way back for the other side, and because these two people have not been united for a long time, they are both selfish and selfish, and they will gradually separate. Then it will be a good time for our army to be annihilated in one fell swoop!! ”

"But if our army rushes, I'm afraid there will be no soldiers, so what?"

"You don't have to worry about this red ghost. I have already taken precautions, not only did the second prince bring 3,000 elite soldiers and horses back to Fufeng, but later I persuaded Ma Taigong to allocate one, plus more than 5 or 6,000 people, and then with the power of the lord's ghosts and gods and the peerless courage of the second son, it is enough! ”

Ma Zongheng listened, but his brows were furrowed, and he even shook his head, saying that it was not good.

Cheng Gongying couldn't help but say: "I don't know what the lord thinks is bad?" ”

"If our army is pressing forward step by step, then Yan Xing and Li Xun will force each other with my family, so what?"

"Hehe, I knew that the lord had this question, so I was prepared, and when the time comes, it will be like this, and the big thing will be done. In this way, although the lord's family will inevitably suffer some humiliation in front of him, this is the best way his subordinates can come up with! Please also ask the lord to forgive his subordinates for their incompetence. Cheng Gongying said in a deep voice, his face full of guilt.

Ma Zongheng listened, thinking of the humiliation that the family would encounter, although his heart was painful, but he still endured it, and said: "It is the luck of Ma's life to be able to get the help of Gongying, and this plan is very good!" So I'll go back to Xiliang quickly! ”

"If the lord goes, you can bring the red devil and me, and it is enough for General Xu to sit here in Sanfu!" Cheng Gongying's words make sense, one is that Cheng Gongying is familiar with Fufeng's current situation, and the other is that Xu Huang has also lived in Sanfu for a period of time, and now his prestige has risen, plus his extraordinary skills, he can sit in Sanfu. As for Pound, I'm afraid that even if Cheng Gongying doesn't arrange it, Pound will definitely die by Ma Zongheng's side.

"Excellent! As you say! Ma Zongheng also felt that Cheng Gongying's arrangement was extremely suitable, so he ordered Cheng Gongying and Pang De to prepare first, and then explained the situation to Xu Huang. When Xu Huang heard this, he changed color again and again, and he was a little hesitant, as if he had a different opinion about Ma Zongheng not going back to Hedong to greet the Son of Heaven, but going back to help the wind and rescue the family. After all, in order to rescue the Son of Heaven, Xu Huang was beheaded by Dong Min all over the family.

And Ma Zongheng's unhesitating attitude now makes him feel a little unbalanced, and at the same time, he is full of guilt for his dead family.

"Gongming, you don't have to worry too much, with Wenyuan's talent, you will be able to ensure that the Son of Heaven is safe, and Sanfu will be handed over to you here!" Ma Zongheng's eyes were impressive, and he patted Xu Huang's shoulder heavily. Xu Huang couldn't help but look shocked, and said, "The last general will live up to the high hopes of the lord!" ”

So at night on the fifth watch, after the horses had rested, they set off immediately. Among them, there were two important civil and military ministers, Pang De and Cheng Gongying, as well as 800 light horsemen.

A few days later, in Luoyang City. However, after two months of repair, the Luoyang Palace has taken on a new look, although it is not as magnificent as in the past, but at least it is much better than when it was destroyed by Dong Zhuo. Of course, Cao Cao didn't have so much money originally, but when Dong Zhuo made a comeback and led his troops back to Luoyang, he brought a lot of money to repair the court. After the loss of Luoyang, Cao Cao's deployment first found the funds, and naturally Cao Cao concealed the matter. Although Sun Jian and Lu Bu were secretly suspicious, seeing that Cao Cao was powerful, Sun Jian was in a hurry to rescue the Son of Heaven at that time, so they did not investigate deeply. As for Lu Bu, he didn't dare to go against Cao.

So, Cao Cao used the funds to expand his troops, buy prisoners, and repair the court.

Now Cao Cao has taken the prisoners he obtained when he broke through Luoyang, and after rectification, he has obtained more than 20,000 elite soldiers, which are the elite of Dong's Xiliang army back then, and now they are all under Cao Cao's command. Cao Cao, who got these elite soldiers, plus the original troops, stationed nearly 40,000 troops in Luoyang.

And the reason why Cao Cao was able to get these Xiliang elite soldiers so easily was because of the merits of one person. This person is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law - Li Ru!

It is said that after Li Ru was captured, he wanted to fast and seek death, Cao Cao and his strategists persuaded each other repeatedly, knowing the pros and cons, but to no avail. It wasn't until Xun Yu came that he won Li Ru's surrender for Cao Cao overnight. Cao Cao was overjoyed and praised the title of Xunyu Wang Zuozhicai, which was worthy of his reputation, and then asked him how to obtain Li Ru's surrender. Xun Yu said that he only put forward two conditions, that is, to win Li Ru's loyalty. First, he promised that all the old Dong subordinates who surrendered would be treated equally and fairly. The second is to take down the head of the evil god Lu Bu, the head of today's martial arts!

When Cao Cao heard these two conditions, he was stunned at first, and the first condition was simple to deal with, after all, he has always governed the army strictly, although he will be somewhat partial to his subordinates, but it will not be too excessive, and the rest of the deployment is fair competition. As for the second condition, Cao Cao felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time he also admired Li Ru's loyalty to the Dong family.
