Qiao Xuan smiled and said leisurely: "It is the generalissimo of the Han army who is embattled on all sides and ambushes on all sides to help Gaozu defeat Xiang Yu - Han Xin is also!" ”

When Qiao Xuan heard this, most of the people in the hall, including Zhao Jun, couldn't help but breathe deeply, and then hung their heads.

Ma Zongheng listened, but secretly felt that it should be so. Because, if nothing else, Qiao Xuan will soon move to Jiangdong, his two daughters, one will marry Sun Ce, who is known as the little overlord, and the other will marry the first governor of Eastern Wu.

In addition, Ma Zongheng is not losing interest in beauty, but he really doesn't have this mind at the moment. After all, Wang Ying's whereabouts are still unknown, Liu Xueyu is in the Luoyang Palace, with Dong Zhuo's brutal and lewd temperament, I am afraid that there is a case.

Whenever he thought of this, Ma Zongheng was so anxious that he couldn't wait to lead his troops to Luoyang immediately!

The night passed. The appearance of Qiao Xuan's two daughters aroused Ma Zongheng's thoughts about Liu Xueyu, Wang Ying and his wife at home, and later even drank and swallowed whales, but he didn't mention his two peerless daughters to Qiao Xuan, but there were many people who still refused to give up, and they were entangled with Qiao Xuan. Except for Ma Zongheng, everyone else didn't seem to be able to enter Qiao Xuan's eyes, and they were all indifferent and interested in those people.

That night, Ma Zongheng was drunk, Qiao Mao had already ordered someone to prepare the carriage, Zhang Liao and Pang De politely refused Qiao Mao's kindness to leave them for the night, so they helped Ma Zongheng into the carriage and rushed to the camp outside the city. As for Li Dian, he stayed in the city to rest.

It was the third watch at night, and the carriage had just driven out of the city. At this moment, a group of people suddenly flashed on the side of the road, Zhang Liao, who was driving in front, hurriedly reined in the horses, his face changed slightly, and he shot out two fine lights with sharp eyes, and shouted: "Who is coming!" ”

But I saw that there were dozens of people in that group, all of them were elite and strong men, all of them had weapons in their hands, and each of them wore yellow scarves. Among them, a bald man shouted with wide eyes and evil eyes: "What I want is your dog's life!" ”

After drinking, the bald man ran towards the carriage with the big axe in his hand. Zhang Liao snorted coldly, and when he was abrupt, he jumped up like a fierce lion. When the bald man saw the eye cut, he twisted the big axe and slashed at Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao got up faster, with a 'bang', he kicked the side of the big axe, and his strong leg strength kicked the bald man so much that he retreated violently, pulling up a gust of wind and dust. The thieves in the back also knew that Zhang Liao was powerful, and immediately shouted loudly to kill and rushed towards Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was not afraid, he flew to meet him, his body flashed like a swimming fish swimming in the water, his arms flew like meteor lightning, and when he rushed through the crowd, he heard a series of screams, and when Zhang Liao rushed through, seven or eight people fell to the ground.

"Ignore this man!! Get on the carriage and kill the thief!! The bald man, seeing Zhang Liao so terrifying, looked anxious, and hurriedly shouted. When the rest of the thieves heard this, they reacted immediately, and each of them rushed towards the carriage with his weapons.

Who knows, in front of the carriage, I don't know when there was a person standing, with fluffy and messy hair, a red evil face, dignified and powerful, but now he was yawning, his eyes were a little confused, and he shouted: "Where do you come from things that don't know whether to live or die, you just have a long life, if you wake up my lord, even Lao Tzu will be affected by you bastards!" ”

But it is said that Ma Zongheng has a very bad habit of sleeping, that is, once he sleeps, he sleeps very dead, whether it is thunder and rain, or the sky is cracking, he will not be woken up. Unless someone forced him to wake him up, but in this way, Ma Zongheng, who was forced to wake him up, would fall into a rampage, and the person who was forced to wake him up would be a trivial matter if he was not strong enough to be crippled and seriously injured. Once, Pound and Hu Che'er had nothing to do, and they dared to gamble with Ma Zongheng, and woke up the sleeping Ma Zongheng in the middle of the night, but they came to report some insignificant trivialities, and Pound was beaten badly, and his head became a braised pig's head the next day!

But it was said that Pound drank loudly this time, and the thieves who pounced were also evil, and they each rushed towards Pound with their blades. Pound hurriedly flashed, grabbed a blade, and threw it sharply, first striking a thief who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to kill behind the carriage, and then kicking the man who was close to him away, and in a moment, he snatched another spear, swept away several thieves, threw the spear, and shot another person away, and in a short time, seven or eight more thieves fell. At the same time, Zhang Liao also hurried over, and when the two or three thieves hurriedly turned to the carriage behind the carriage, Zhang Liao jumped up, and then fell from the sky and stopped in front of those thieves, so frightened that the faces of the thieves suddenly changed greatly, and after hesitating for a while, they actually pulled their legs and fled. Zhang Liao snorted coldly, quickly chased after one, grabbed his back with one hand, and with a skillful wrist, he threw him to the ground, grabbed the blade on the ground in a hurry, looked at the person who escaped quickly, and threw it violently.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and in the darkness, a cold light flashed, and the thief who fled the fastest suddenly screamed and was immediately knocked over and fell. The rest of the thief happened to see it, and he was so frightened that he fell to his knees and shouted for mercy.

At this time, a team of fast riders not far away rushed over, led by Wei Fei. Wei Fei saw that there were corpses everywhere, and saw that Pang De had captured a big man, so he hurriedly hurried over. At this time, Pang De was stepping on the bald man, and when he saw Wei Fei, he said unhurriedly: "These things who don't know whether they are alive or dead dare to ambush and kill the frame of the lord." Arrest the thief and interrogate him again tomorrow. ”

After Pang De finished speaking, Zhang Liao in the back also dragged a thief with one hand, and then threw the thief who was so frightened that his face was bloodless and trembling to the ground like a waste.

Seeing this, Wei Fei hurriedly ordered left and right to tie up these two thieves. Zhang Liao and Pang De immediately got on the frame. Zhang Liao drove his horse to the camp, his face was so flat that there was no trace of anger, as if what had happened just now had not happened at all. As for Wei Fei, he led troops to guard the left and right.

The next day, when the scorching sun was in the sky, Ma Zongheng woke up from sleep, and after washing, he was yawning in the tent, but he listened to Zhang Liao and Pang De describing the situation last night.

And in front of Ma Zongheng, there were two pale and trembling thieves kneeling.

Suddenly, Ma Zongheng waved his hand lightly, signaling that Zhang and Pang didn't need to say any more, and their eyes suddenly condensed, looked at the two thieves, and said leisurely: "

You market hooligans don't look at how many catties and taels you have, you dress up as the remnants of Montenegro, you accepted other people's silver taels to avenge Nie Yuan! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng said this, the faces of the two thieves suddenly changed drastically. When Ma Zongheng saw it, he was even more affirmative, knocked on the case, and said: "Say it, be lenient in confession, and strict in resisting!" The bald man was obedient, swallowed a few saliva times, and his teeth chattered: "Big man, you!" ”

"Something! Speak well to Lao Tzu! Pound saw that he was very uncomfortable, so he shouted, and sure enough, the bald man was immediately frightened, and said hurriedly: "How did you find out, my lord?" ”

"Hmph, it's not easy! Now in the Black Mountain Bandit Department in Dongjun, as long as you hear the names of the Lao Tzu brothers, I'm afraid it's too late to escape, where do you dare to sneak attack!? Moreover, Zhang Niujiao has already been punished, the thieves are scattered like trees, most of them have been captured by me, and the others who escaped have fled to Zhang Yan.

Moreover, not only do you know that my brothers and I were drinking in the city last night, but you can also prepare an ambush long ago, and you can see at a glance that it was premeditated, and you can prepare so well that I am afraid that the person behind the scenes is in the city, and he is still a person of a certain status. And last night, only Nie Yuan was taught a lesson by me, even if others looked at me unpleasantly, they were afraid of my authority, and they didn't dare to act rashly, unless they had a deep hatred! Ma Zongheng said, his eyes lit up, and the two thieves were frightened when they heard it, and they were already sweating profusely. The bald man couldn't hide it, and hurriedly said: "My lord's clever plan!" The villain has a cheap life, and he also asks the adult to spare the villain's life, and the little one knows that everything is endless! ”

"Huh." Ma Zongheng smiled brightly, but his eyes were looking at another person. The thief was also clever, and hurriedly said, "My lord! The one who taught the villain to ambush the adults was Qiao Mao's concubine Qi clan! ”

When the bald man heard this, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, for fear that his life would be difficult to protect, so he hurriedly said: "Yes! That Nie Yuan is Qi's nephew, and he loves Nie Yuan very much on weekdays. Last night, the adults fell Nie Yuan off the horse and was half paralyzed, and the doctor said that Nie Yuan would lie on the bed for the rest of his life, and Qi was furious when he heard it, so he bribed the villain and his brothers with fifty taels of gold, and wanted to buy the lives of several adults! ”

When Ma Zongheng and several people heard this, they all changed color slightly. Ma Zongheng didn't bother to kill the two insignificant rats, his face was cold, and he said, "Enough, you two should get out of here!" ”

When the two thieves heard this, they were overjoyed, and they prostrated themselves in thanks, and then they hurriedly retreated as if they were fleeing.

"Lord, last night Qiao Tai kept a night drinking with us, I'm afraid I don't know that Nie You was seriously injured so far, I heard that Qiao Mao has no children under his knees, and he also loves this Nie Yuan very much. If you know, I am afraid that there will be a gap. Zhang Liao said in a condensed voice.

Ma Zongheng squinted slightly, and after hearing this, he said lightly: "Qiao Yuanwei, this old fox is very good, and now Dongjun still needs to rely on me and other brothers, and he doesn't dare to offend." However, now that Dongjun has been pacified, we have captured a lot of prisoners in the past six months, and although the number of troops has increased dramatically, we still need to practice before we can deal with future wars. I also have no intention of staying in Puyang, but I am a little worried that Mancheng will be affected, and I will go into the city to say goodbye to Qiao Yuanwei later. Wen Yuan, you ordered the generals in the army, pack up, and leave Puyang immediately after I come back! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's voice fell, Zhang Liao and Pang De were shocked and took orders.

On the other hand, it was said that when Qiao Mao returned home last night, Qi cried and made a fuss, saying that Nie Yuan was seriously injured by Ma Zongheng, and he was afraid that he would have to lie on the bed and be a waste person in the future. When Qiao Mao heard this, he was also furious, and felt that Ma Zongheng was merciless, and he didn't put him in his eyes at all, and when he was resentful in his heart, someone suddenly came to report, saying that the departing Ma Zongheng and his people were ambushed, and when the soldiers in the city rushed away, Ma Zongheng's frame had left with the support of his command. When Qiao Mao heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry, and after several interrogations, Qi, who was afraid of Ma Zongheng's revenge, also relented and admitted that he had bought the murder. Qiao Mao heard that this was indeed the case, and knew that Ma Zongheng had a strong temperament, and Jian Shuo, who was in power and in the opposition, set up a Hongmen banquet in the palace to kill him.

I heard that at that time, Ma Zongheng was extremely powerful, and he had enough strength to escape, but he had to kill Jian Shuo, so he fought several fierce battles with Jian Shuo's subordinates, and overnight, with his own strength, he actually killed hundreds of people, and Jian Shuo was finally killed by him.

Qiao Mao was also afraid of Ma Zongheng's revenge, so he couldn't think about it all night, and the next morning he hurriedly came to his brother Qiao Xuan to discuss the strategy.

"Confused, confused! Yuan Wei, you shouldn't be so indulgent to this son and woman on weekdays! Nie You made mistakes first, and he was arrogant and oppressed the people on weekdays, and he was a complete gentleman! On the contrary, that Ma Zongheng is now famous, but the woman in your family buys murder in order to avenge this gentleman! Once this matter spreads, the reputation of my bridge family will be ruined! When Qiao Xuan heard this, he was furious, and after even sighing, Ning Se shouted to Qiao Mao.

When Qiao Mao heard this, his face changed, and he said hurriedly: "I also know that I am negligent in discipline on weekdays, but the matter has come to this point, and it is useless for the clan brother to say more!" Now the important thing is how to make this horse calm down and then obediently shut its mouth! ”

When Qiao Xuan heard this, his expression sank, if he was still the captain of Qiao in the past, and he wanted to deal with this matter, it would be much simpler, after all, he was powerful at that time, and he had the support of many court ministers. No matter how bold Ma Zongheng is, at least he must give a little thin noodles, and if he is appeased a little, he can calm things down. But now that he is now, all that remains is fame, after all, the Qi family is buying murder, and it is a matter of his own life, how can Ma Zongheng give up!?
