(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

The gate opened a crack, and Mavi hurried out, arms outstretched, and laughed.

Xu Ji hurriedly dismounted, and before he could speak, Ma Wei hugged him and whispered: "You saved me, you really saved me, the gods sent you?" Don't speak, but bring people into the city, and don't make the city suspicious. ”

Ma Wei's words had no beginning or end, but Xu Ji could hear the obvious nervousness, so he nodded, got back on his horse, and ran towards the five hundred soldiers sent by Ning Baoguan.

Luo Hanqi didn't plan to enter the city, the order he received was very simple, escort Xu Ji to Mengjin and find Ma Wei, it didn't matter if he saw a living person or a corpse, his mission was over.

"Master Xu, don't leave it at that. I'm a rough person, I don't know etiquette, and I've offended a lot along the way, in fact, I still admire you, a little white face, you dare to participate in the assassination, and you don't have to say anything about being a friend. In the future, I will invite you to drink if I have the opportunity, and if the amount of alcohol is reasonable, I can make you a friend. ”

Xu Ji had already thought about his rhetoric on the road, and said with a smile: "There is General Lauro to send him off, and when he arrives at the wine table, he will definitely sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." ”

Luo Hanqi laughed, "Forget about sacrificing your life, you can just give up your child." ”

Luo Hanqi was about to give the order to turn around and return to the camp, Xu Ji said: "General Luo is honest, I won't hide it anymore, I have a message for you." ”

"Oh?" Luo Hanqi is not willing to move, let alone rather hug Guan, and is not interested in "sending words".

"General Luo will return to the camp like this, and he will be reprimanded by King Wu Yue."

Luo Hanqi was stunned, "I left safely and went back safely, I didn't make any mistakes, why should I be reprimanded?" ”

"King Wu Yue has always wanted to lead his troops to Jiangdong, but it was difficult for the ships to advance eastward due to the blockage of Mengjin, so he allowed Ma Wei to lead his troops to attack Mengjin, hoping for an emergency."

Although Luo Hanqi once bragged that it would be easy to attack Meng Jin, he knew in his heart that this was indeed a difficult thing "just in case", "Yes, Ma Wei is very powerful, and he actually won it, but it has nothing to do with me." ”

"It has a lot to do with it, Ma Wei was lucky to win the pass, his foothold is not stable, if he gets it, he will lose it. General Luo is a confidant of the old department of King Wu Yue, and when he sees the danger, he does not save him, and he does not enter the city, so he will not only be reprimanded after he goes back, but he is afraid that he will provoke the anger of King Wu Yue. ”

Luo Hanqi's face changed, "King Wu Yue is angry...... Xu Gongzi, you are really a good person, you saved me in a few words, let's go, let's go into the city together. ”

"Use my horse to send someone back to report to King Wu Yue."

Xu Ji jumped off the horse.

Luo Hanqi also dismounted, called the two of them, and ordered them to ride back to the camp immediately, "Don't stop, run as fast as you can." ”

The two walked to the city gate with the soldiers, Luo Hanqi carried the lance, and said: "King Ning always said that reading people are also very important, I don't dare to object, I am not convinced, today I was woken up by Mr. Xu's few words - reading is really fucking useful, and the ghost heart is more than us." ”

Xu Ji smiled, thinking in his heart, why did he have difficulty communicating with Luo Hanqi along the way, but suddenly he was able to win the admiration of the other party with a few words? Soon he realized that he lacked the ability to communicate on a daily basis, and he had to be in trouble and dilemma when the other party was in a dilemma, so that he could lead the way, even if he couldn't win the trust of the other party, he could get some attention.

You have to be ambitious to be in a difficult situation all the time.

Thinking about this, Xu Ji didn't feel easy, because he still couldn't mingle with ordinary people anytime and anywhere.

"The situation in the city is unknown, don't act rashly after entering the city."

"Well, I'll listen to you." Luo Hanqi is brave and does not lose to anyone, and when it comes to acting at the opportunistic, he admits that he is not as good as the "little white face".

The city gate opened wider, and Ma Wei still stood under the gate, and said loudly: "General Lan is true to his word, and he will send troops when he says that he will send troops." ”

Luo Hanqi didn't understand, but he made up his mind, and seeing that Xu Ji didn't squeak, he didn't move.

Five hundred marched into the city.

The town was small, the streets were not wide, and it was deserted, and hundreds of paces away it was cut off halfway by a lonely tall building, and it was forced to turn right.

Ma Wei recognized Luo Hanqi and bowed his hand to him, "General Lauro will shout for me later." ”

"Shouting what?"

"Whatever, the louder the better."

"Hehe, this is easy, I can shout now."

"Wait a minute, see what I do."

Luo Hanqi nodded, but shook his head in his heart, after all, he didn't like the "ghost eyes" of readers.

The tall building in the middle of the city is similar in shape to the city gate tower, and there is a passage below, but the portal is closed, and several people on the upper floor are lined up, looking down, all holding bows and arrows in their hands.

"General Zhang, do you believe me? This is the reinforcement sent by General Lan. ”

General Zhang is a veteran, he has already seen the soldiers on the street, just looking at the soldiers' armor and flag sticks, he does look like officers and soldiers, but he always feels that something is wrong, and asks loudly: "General Lan has crossed the river?" Why did reinforcements come in through the north gate? ”

"Haha, General Zhang is too suspicious, General Lan himself did not cross the river, but Hebei has its own garrison, and a military order will come as soon as it is recruited."

General Zhang was still skeptical, and ordered the people on both sides to put down their bows and arrows, "You and the generals with the troops come up, and the others stay where they are and are not allowed to move." ”

Ma Wei put his right hand behind him, swinging slightly, Luo Hanqi roared loudly, shaking the ears of the people around him, shaking the people upstairs in shock, and even the bricks under his feet seemed to tremble.

After yelling, Luo Hanqi still had to scold and say two sentences, "Lao Tzu was ordered to help, where did the bullshit general come from, he actually took me as an outsider, and caused Lao Tzu to work hard in vain, let's go, let them defend the city by themselves." ”

General Zhang upstairs hurriedly said, "General don't go, I have something to say." Then he hurriedly turned around, obviously going downstairs to see him.

Ma Wei turned around and nodded slightly to Luo Hanqi and Xu Ji.

The downstairs door opened, and General Zhang ran briskly with four entourage, with a smile on his face, "Offended, offended, what is this general called?" Where did it come from? Who will be the Lord? ”

Luo Hanqi answered all questions, "My name is Luo Hanqi, come to the west, and the main general will ...... The lord is King Wu Yue. ”

Hearing the words "King Wu Yue", General Zhang was stunned for a moment, and took two more steps before stopping, "There is a King Wu Yue in this dynasty?" ”

"Wuyue Wang Ning Baoguan, haven't you heard of it?" Luo Hanqi was furious.

"Oh-" General Zhang turned to retreat into the building.

Luo Hanqi didn't need to signal, he beckoned the soldiers behind him, rushed to the front with his own spear, caught up with a few steps, stabbed down an entourage with a lance, and the remaining few people, including General Zhang, were all so frightened that they sat on the ground.

"King Ning is a hundred times braver than me, you think like me, now you recognize it?" Luo Han Qi Dao.

"Recognize, recognize." General Zhang shuddered.

Ma Wei was overjoyed and arched his hand: "General Luo is really a fierce general, please follow me to patrol the city." ”

"Why are you still shouting? My throat can't stand it. ”

"No need to shout, patrol the city, it will be over soon, and then I will ask General Luo to drink and moisten his throat."

Ma Wei, Luo Hanqi, and Xu Ji walked in front, the soldiers escorted General Zhang and others to follow, and the others lined up to follow.

There were not many defenders of the city, only more than 100 people, and when they saw that the city lord was arrested, they put down their weapons and surrendered.

The 200 people brought by Ma Wei were trapped in a house in a corner of the city, and after opening the door, they all bowed down to Ma Wei.

Ma Wei first appeased, and then issued a series of orders to let his subordinates occupy the city gate and other key places, which can be regarded as a real capture of the small city.

General Zhang was imprisoned, and Ma Wei led the people back to the high-rise buildings in the center of the city, collected food, and held a large feast.

There were not many garrisons in the city, but the food was very sufficient, enough for three or five thousand people to eat for a month, and there was also a lot of wine and meat.

At the banquet, Ma Wei recounted the experience of capturing the city.

"Lan Sui is really the first class fool in the world, I don't know who to listen to, I think there are chaotic armies everywhere, so I led the troops to retreat near the capital, and said that I would protect the emperor and the empress dowager. He also requisitioned the defenders of various cities, but even Mengjin did not want to defend it, saying that he wanted to let the thieves cross the river and fight to the death. ”

"When the government sent people to recruit An, I guessed that the imperial court must be weak-minded, so I volunteered to bring 200 people to attack the city, but I didn't expect Lan Sui to be so weak that he transferred most of the guards of the small city, leaving only more than 100 people. I entered the city as an officer and soldier, but General Zhang was treacherous and tricked my people into a trap and insisted that I take out the documents of my superiors. Fortunately, I know some celestial phenomena, and I look up and down, and I expect that a savior will come today. Ha ha. ”

Luo Hanqi admired it very much, and said while eating meat: "You two are okay, it's better than I expected, Mengjin has already been taken, just wait for King Wuyue to come, and everyone will go to Jiangdong together." I heard that there is gold and silver everywhere and there are groups of beautiful women, enough for a million troops to share, and I want to grab a share. ”

"With the courage of General Luo, why do you have no money and no wife?" Ma Wei blindly persuaded to drink.

Xu Ji asked: "The small city has been obtained, and what about the big city on the south bank?" ”

"There are slightly more defenders in the big city, and they block the bridge, no one is allowed to pass, and the officers and soldiers are not good, and after the king of Wuyue arrives, they will find a way to capture it."

Luo Hanqi took a big sip of wine and said to Xu Ji: "Didn't you say that you would sacrifice your life to accompany you?" Why don't I see you drinking? ”

Xu Ji smiled and picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.

The wine became stronger, Xu Ji and Ma Wei took a sip, Luo Hanqi and several of his leaders poured a bowl, and soon got drunk, staggered, and persuaded themselves to drink.

The smile on Ma Wei's face disappeared, and he arched his hand to Xu Ji: "Brother Brother is one step late, and Brother Fool will die here." ”

Ma Wei recounted the experience of seizing the city again, claiming that it was true that the officers and soldiers entered the city, but he made a mistake and believed in General Zhang too much, so much so that he handed over 200 people, but he was trapped by the other party, so he had no choice but to claim that there were reinforcements coming, and there would be military documents in his hands.

General Zhang sent people to escort Ma Wei to the city, and if he couldn't see reinforcements before dark, he would be beheaded directly.

"Mengjin is not far from Luoyang, why didn't General Zhang send someone to ask."

"We all know that Lan Sui is incompetent, but we still can't imagine how stupid he is, it was he who ordered that no one should be sent to Luoyang without an order."

Why is that? He didn't want to know what was going on...... I understood, and he used Qinzhou's tricks again to prevent any news from reaching the ears of the imperial court. ”

"He said that most of the news coming from around is untrue, and it is better not to listen to the holy car of the two palaces for no reason, he has already made a clever plan, and he will soon be able to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop, and he does not need help from all over the country."

Xu Ji was dumbfounded, and after a moment, he understood.

"Brother I think the same way?" Ma Wei asked with a smile.

Xu Ji nodded, but there was no smile on his face, "It can only be for this reason, Lan Sui felt that his position in the court was not stable, so he transferred his troops back to Beijing, all of them were under his command, and then ......"

"Seize the forbidden army and the town court, but I guess he didn't have the guts to usurp the throne, he just wanted the Baolan family to be in power and worry-free forever."

"But he is about to topple the last pillar of the Tiancheng Dynasty......" Xu Ji shook his head vigorously, believing that this was something that Lan Sui could do, but he couldn't understand the stupidity in it.

"Brother is a little homesick?"

If Lan Sui wants to stabilize his power, he must attack the Lou family, Xu Ji said: "I have changed my surname, and I have no home to think about." ”

"Well, I know that my brother is not a person who looks ahead and backwards. Brother Ji returned as promised, I received this affection, and now, you have to do me another favor. ”

"Brother Ma just speak."

Ma Wei looked at the drunk people, "I only need soldiers, not generals, since Mengjin Xiaocheng is in my hands, I will never give it to others." ”

Xu Ji was shocked.
