Ma Zongheng was obedient, and couldn't help but change his complexion, under Cheng Yu's fierce gaze, it was not easy to lie, his old face turned red, and said: "Although Feng Xiao did not accept it, he already appreciated each other with me at that time, and secretly helped each other repeatedly!" ”

Cheng Yu was obedient, smiled, and then said: "But now the lord is already a well-known general of the expedition to the north, and Pang Shiyuan has the name of a phoenix, but he is really just a madman who has not made an inch, it is inevitable that the lord guild will have some domineering momentum, superior to others, and cannot receive Pang Shiyuan's direct advice." As soon as Cheng Yu said this, Ma Zongheng's face couldn't help but change, and after a while of silence, he sighed softly: "If it weren't for Zhongde's reminder, I wouldn't have woken up." ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he showed a bright smile and said, "Yu then ordered the brothers outside the tent to summon Shi Yuan." The lord consulted with him again. ”

Ma Zongheng was obedient, his expression sank, and he shook his head and said, "No, I should go to see it myself." ”

After that, Ma Zongheng didn't wait for Cheng Yu to reply, so he took the lead and looked out of the tent. Cheng Yu looked at the figure of Ma Zongheng leaving, and couldn't help but smile even brighter.

On the other hand, he said that Pang Tong returned to the tent quite lonely, and he was depressed, and secretly thought in his heart: "Although General Zhengbei attaches great importance to me, he even has high hopes for me, hoping that I can replace the vacancy of the ghost talent Guo Jia." But in the case of Jing Shicai, he still doesn't fully trust me. I have a strong personality, but the general of Zhengbei is also domineering, and I am a male master, and I am afraid that the two personalities are incompatible... For me, compared to a heroic figure like General Zhengbei, that kind of virtuous gentleman with a calm personality and a combination of rigidity and softness may be more suitable for me! ”

Pang Tong thought about it, and suddenly had a little idea, but he thought that he was determined to go to Yanzhou, and now he is leaving without an inch, if this is spread, won't it become a joke for people in the world?

Thinking of this, Pang Tong couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and then thought that he could wait for the meritorious service, and report the grace of the encounter to Ma Zongheng, and then leave in style. But if he thinks that he has quarreled so badly with Ma Zongheng, I'm afraid that he will have a grudge against himself, how can he reuse himself again?

Just as Pang Tong's thoughts were turning, suddenly there was a movement outside the tent. Pang Tong quickly came back to his senses, and when he looked at the entrance of the tent, he suddenly saw a huge and burly figure walk in, and in an instant, a majesty came immediately.

Pang Tong fixed his eyes and saw that the person who came was Ma Zongheng, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "I have seen the general of Zhengbei!" ”

"Haha, I was impatient for a while, chilling Shi Yuan's heart, and I asked Shi Yuan not to blame. I'm here to make amends to you! When Ma Zongheng saw Pang Tong, he didn't talk nonsense, and began to make amends to Pang Tong quite arrogantly. Pang Tong's face was stunned at first, and before he could react, the expression on his face was full of surprise as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.

Pang Tongyi didn't reply, Ma Zongheng was not polite, while walking, he looked around, and when he walked to Pang Tong's side, he didn't forget to pat him on the shoulder cordially, and said affectionately: "What does Shiyuan think of this camp, if it is not generous enough, or if there is anything missing, you can speak out." You are the brains of our army, and now our army's every move depends on your intelligence, but we must not slack off. ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Pang Tong took a step back and said in fear: "Tongcai is a little learned, and when he first came to the battlefield, he had never experienced many things, so how dare he have such high hopes for General Bei!" ”

"Hey!" As soon as Pang Tong's words fell, Ma Zongheng raised his hand, then turned around, and his eyes looked at Pang Tong, and said: "Shiyuan's talent is unparalleled in the world, of course, if you meet the faint master, no matter how much you learn, it will be difficult to use, but if you meet Mingjun, with Shiyuan's ability in the near future, you will be able to surpass the ancient sages, remember the bamboo silk, and flow to future generations!" ”

Ma Zongheng said, Pang Tong's face changed continuously, but he still seemed to have a bad heart about the right talent, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he said: "General Zhengbei is falsely praised, Tong is arrogant by nature, he has few talents in his belly, and he looks ugly, he is not disgusted, and he can keep his livelihood, which is already a great luck." ”

Pang Tong still lost some confidence in Ma Zonghengduoduo, and now he has a lot of restraint, but he has lost his usual arrogance.

Suddenly, Ma Zongheng reached out and grabbed Pang Tong's shoulder, and his eyes stared at Pang Tong even more directly. Pang Tong was startled, and when he saw Ma Zongheng's eyes burning, he couldn't help but avoid it.

"Shiyuan, I want to treat you sincerely, just like Feng Xiao back then, and become a close partner or even a brother! Your plan is indeed a clever plan, I am willing to act according to it, and I also ask Shiyuan to personally allocate it!! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Pang Tong, who was still in his mind, didn't expect things to take such a dramatic turn, and a pair of big and frightening eyes couldn't help but stare round, and he didn't seem to be able to react at once.

At this time, Ma Zongheng suddenly showed a smile, his voice was soft but serious, and he said with a shocked color: "In the future, you will be the brain trust of my Ma Jiajun, and I will ask Shi Yuan to take care of it!" ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Pang Tong first felt a strong sincerity, and he couldn't help but tremble, and he was suddenly excited, and the word 'lord' almost blurted out. But Pang Tong was a great person, and he still held back in the end, but for Ma Zongheng's appreciation, he still knelt down and bowed heavily to show his gratitude. Ma Zongheng hurriedly helped him up, so he didn't talk nonsense, and asked Pang Tong about the details of his strategy. Pang Tong heard Ma Zongheng's question, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sat down separately with Ma Zongheng, and talked until the fourth watch.

However, it was said that after this night's conversation, Ma Zongheng and Pang Tong quickly released their previous suspicions, and under Pang Tong's planning, I am afraid that the war will change soon.

At the same time, it is said that led by Ma Teng and the men and horses brought by Ma Chao from Xiliang, there are tens of thousands of people surrounding Ercheng guarded by Cao Ren.

And I have to say that Cao Ren is very cunning, these days he uses various methods to delay time, and Cao Ren has let the people participate in the defense of the war in the city, which is even more effective. Ma Jiajun in the siege of the city, because of accidental injuries and accidental killing of many people, so aroused the people of Ercheng more fierce resistance, over the days, Cao Ren's soldiers, soldiers due to casualties although less and less, but more and more people to participate in the war, even the women and children in the city seem to want to participate in the war, in the city incessantly scolding. However, Cao Ren seemed reluctant to let the women and children go to the battlefield, and the city only listened to the women and children scolding, but did not see the women and children on the top of the city. As a result, all the soldiers of the Ma family army were secretly relieved, if these women and children really appeared in the city, they didn't know if they could get a dead hand.

It is said that this day is the fifth day of besieging Ercheng. Seeing that in addition to the north gate of Ercheng, the remaining three gates are under the siege of the Ma family's army, which can be described as full of holes, and it seems to be destroyed as soon as it is destroyed!

"Report~! The general has an order, Ercheng can not be defended for long, within half an hour, be sure to take Ercheng~!! We can't let the war drag on any longer!! ”

But said that Ximen was here, Ma Chao was listening to his father Ma Teng's orders, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly thought: "Cao Zixiao today is when you become a prisoner of our army~!! I must repay you tenfold for the hardships I have endured these days!! ”

Ma Chao's thought flashed, and then he shouted the order, and at that moment, the cadres behind him immediately rushed up and were preparing to attack the city.

At this time, I saw that there were only a few dozen remnants of the Cao army above the city, and the rest were some disabled people, facing the momentum of the Ma Jiajun, although most of these people showed fear and timidity, but when they thought of those villagers who died in battle, they couldn't help but be strong in spirit, and they screamed angrily.

"Humph!! These ignorant and stupid people seem to have been brainwashed by Cao Zixiao!! It's so damn bad~!! On the battlefield, there is no so-called woman's benevolence, everyone listened to the order, and shot the people in the city and the lackeys of the Cao family back for me, and quickly broke through the city gate. Lao Tzu wants to capture Cao Zixiao's coward~!! But I heard Ma Chao hissing and roaring. When all the soldiers heard this, they were shocked, and they were about to give an order.

Suddenly, under the bright sun, a group of people suddenly appeared, all of whom had their hair coiled and their heads held high, and they were all women and children. Ma Chao's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, and he couldn't help but restrain the horse.

"The people in the city listen to the old lady, the old lady's husband and the sixty-year-old father have been killed by these thieves!! Today, my mother wants to avenge my husband and father, even if she fights for her life, she will never hand over Ercheng~!! As soon as the woman's voice fell, several women began to shout. Some of them were still carrying babies on their backs, and the babies seemed to be frightened by the hateful roar, and they began to cry.

Under the cry of the baby, the atmosphere changed sharply, and seeing that the city was almost full of women and children, even the prepared crossbowmen couldn't help but put down their bows and arrows, and couldn't bear to shoot.

"What a Cao Zixiao, he actually used such cunning means in a vain attempt to hinder the offensive of our army!!" Ma Chao couldn't help but grit his teeth, extremely disdainful and shameless of Cao Ren's approach!

At this time, listening to the louder scolding in the city, Ma Chao didn't know what to do for a while, and the soldiers of the Ma family army behind him hesitated.

"I'm in this situation here, I'm afraid it's the same with Daddy and Brother Dai! Daddy seems to be rough, but in fact he is kind and kind, he wants to shoot at the people before, and he can't bear it in every way, and this time he can face those women and children. Brother Dai is the same. In other words, if I don't do it, I don't know how long this war will be entangled!! Ma Chao turned his mind, his eyes suddenly shot two terrifying lights, shouted angrily, and ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows. With Ma Chao's shouting, the soldiers behind him were all startled, and they didn't react yet, but the Cao soldiers in the city had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time.

Seeing this, Ma Chao quickly twisted the flying dragon gun in his hand, stabbed sharply, and after breaking the flying arrows one by one, he shouted angrily: "Don't give me a counterattack~!? ”

As soon as Ma Chao said this, the soldiers under his command no longer dared to slack off, and hurriedly called for orders. In an instant, he saw pieces of arrows flying up and rushing towards the city. Suddenly, some of the women and children at the head of the city fled in a panic, while others were extremely fierce, facing the arrows and scolding loudly. After a while, I saw that the women and children who refused to flee were shot down one by one by stray arrows, and some of those who fled for their lives were also shot one after another. Ma Chao shouted angrily, and then led the troops to attack the city gate.

On the other side, at the east gate, Ma Teng heard the sound of killing in the west, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, knowing that Ma Chao had launched an offensive, but he still hesitated. At this time, there were also bursts of killing sounds at the south gate, and Ma Dai seemed to have begun to lead troops to attack the city.

"Lord~!!" A soldier of the Ma family's army, hearing the sound of killing on both sides, couldn't help shouting nervously to Ma Teng. Ma Teng couldn't help gritting his teeth, his face changed in a row, as if he was engaged in an extremely violent dispute in his heart.

I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, the sound of killing burst out at the west gate, Ma Teng's heart trembled when he heard it, and he seemed to have made up his mind in an instant, and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, there are only more than 100 Cao soldiers in the city, all of them will impact the city gate for me, don't hurt the people by mistake~!! ”

With Ma Teng's cheers, the soldiers of the Ma family hurriedly received their orders. After a while, Ma Teng personally led his troops to attack the city gate at the bereaved arrows falling from the city.

Seeing that Ma Teng led the army to attack, the soldiers and civilians in the city instantly became nervous, either shooting arrows or throwing stones to block the offensive of Ma's army.

However, the Ma family soldiers were numerous, and the entire city seemed to be crumbling and roaring. Suddenly, I saw a few cauldrons in the city, and a few cauldrons appeared in Huodi, and Ma Yunlu, who was behind, saw it eagerly, and shouted anxiously: "Daddy be careful~!" ”

As soon as Ma Yunlu's voice fell, the soldiers and civilians in the city suddenly fell down to the city, and the crowd of people who were hit by the boiling oil in an instant let out bursts of miserable screams like killing pigs, and they all rolled to the ground, listening to the shouts of the exhausted ground, they were simply suffering from the pain of not wanting to live.

At this time, he saw Ma Teng, surrounded by the generals, and rushed to the city gate. Ma Teng saw that his army was under the attack of boiling oil, and many people were injured, and some wounded soldiers were stimulated, so he ordered the army to counterattack the soldiers and civilians in the city. Soon, there were flying arrows, and there were screams in the city.
