As soon as Pound said this, Yu Meng's expression couldn't help but change, and his face was angry, and he wanted to argue with Pound. Qiao Mao was ashamed, and hurriedly waved his hand to forbid Pardon Meng. At this time, Ma Zongheng was silent. And Zhang Liao also felt that Qiao Mao's behavior was a little too selfish, and opened his mouth, but seeing that Ma Zongheng didn't make a sound, he didn't make a sound.

"The remnants of the Yellow Turban are rampant, and Dongjun has been brutalized in recent years. The old man saw that the people were in dire straits, but he couldn't do anything, and he was exhausted. Besides, that Dong Zhuo is cruel, if he learns about it, he will send troops to attack him in a fit of anger. I'm afraid that Dongjun will be destroyed.

If it weren't for the truth, the old man would never dare to make such an excessive request. But if Xiao Fubo annihilates the evil thieves such as Yu Poison, it is different. At that time, the old man can repair the book and recommend it to Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, to commend his merits. Liu Dai is a clan member of the Han family, and now Dong Zhuo is in power, causing chaos in the community, he must also be eager to recruit heroes and talents, and he will send troops to the king in the future! I don't know what Xiao Fubo thinks is so? Qiao Mao said, holding his hand and bowing deeply to the horse.

Ma Zongheng seemed to have expected him to be like this, as soon as he raised his hand, he stopped him, and grinned: "As Ma Moucai said, there are many evil deeds in the Black Mountain thieves, and everyone can punish them, and Ma is duty-bound." Qiao Gong, you go back first, wait for Ma to rectify his command first, and after a few days, but if the thief comes, Ma will start an army to attack him! ”

Ma Zongheng was shocking, but secretly he vaguely felt that Qiao Mao was a bit hypocritical, and his good impression of him had long been gone. It is no wonder that in today's Han Dynasty, almost all the princes in various places are autonomous and autonomous, and if there is chaos in the jurisdiction, almost all of them are handled by themselves, and it is almost delusional to want the princes of other places to send troops to help. After all, if the situation is unstable today, anyone can see that chaos is imminent, and the princes everywhere will naturally support their troops to protect themselves and protect their families and businesses. Some ambitious people want to take advantage of this to create immortal achievements, how can they lose their own troops to sweep the snow for others!

But Qiao Mao invited people to send troops, but he didn't even have the least food and military support, so it's no wonder that Pound was so angry. Ma Zongheng felt that this bridge Mao mostly wanted to use himself, once the crusade against the poison and other thieves was over, maybe this person would unload the mill and kill the donkey, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackey cooked!

But why did Ma Zongheng agree to Qiaomao again? That was originally from the beginning he wanted to recruit the Montenegrin thieves as his command and expand his power, because he found that the Montenegrin thieves he had captured not long ago belonged to the regular army, and the combat power was by no means inferior to some of the upper echelons in the government, and he was secretly surprised, but also explained why the Montenegrin army led by Zhang Yang in history was able to cross Hebei, and, Yan Sanzhou, so that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yang and other princes were helpless, and later Cao Cao named him the general of Pingbei in order to recruit Zhang Yan, and during the battle of Guandu, The defection of Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army also played an extremely crucial role in Cao Cao's later victory!

This can't help but make Ma Zongheng ambitious, if he can take these regular Montenegrin troops under his command, he will have to compete with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, the two princes, to compete for Hebei, it will not be a problem!

Therefore, Ma Zongheng was ready to raise troops to fight against Yu Poison and other Black Mountain bandits, and this time he first sold Qiao Mao's favor, and when he raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo in the eighteenth day, he could also use this favor to let him help him clear his name!

Ma Zongheng's eyes flashed with a terrifying light, and his smile was even brighter. Qiao Mao saw it, but she couldn't help but worry about it, and hurriedly threw a look at Yu Meng next to her. Yu Meng understood, so he gave the order to the soldiers behind. After a while, the two soldiers each took a pair of flame spirit scale armor and a silver lion sword.

"This flame spirit scale armor is invulnerable, it is a rare treasure. This silver lion sword is as sharp as clay, and it can be broken by blowing, and it is a first-class blade. Today, it is specially given to Xiao Fubo, and I hope that when Xiao Fubo kills the enemy, it can be used! Qiao Mao's face was shocked, and he said in a condensed voice, he was very confident in his two treasures, and he would definitely be grateful.

How do you know that Ma Zongheng's expression is flat, he still has that unhurried attitude, and said with a slight smile: "Then thank you Qiaogong." ”

Ma Zongheng said, Zhang Liao went to the Silver Lion Sword, and Pang De took the flame spirit scale armor with glowing eyes, and he liked it very much.

When he was young, Qiao Mao got into the carriage, and after saying goodbye to the three of them, he led a group of soldiers to escort the carriage up the mountain road.

Ma Zongheng turned around and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan, do you still like these two treasures?" ”

"This pair of flame essence scale armor is indeed exquisitely crafted, I'm afraid it's worth a lot, I like it." Pound was not polite, and said with a very bright smile.

Zhang Liao was stunned, so he pulled out the silver lion sword, saw the cold light of the sword edge was amazing, flicked the blade, and made a crisp sound, and then arched the sword and replied: "This sword is about three feet two inches long, the sword body is heavy, quite shiny, and the blade is sharp, it is indeed a rare treasure." ”

"Good! It's rare that you both like it, so I'll give it to both of you! Ma Zongheng did not hesitate and bowed his head. Pound seemed to know that Ma Zongheng had this meaning, and he was not polite, so he accepted it.

Zhang Liao was slightly surprised, seeing that Ma Zongheng was not a pity, he couldn't help but sigh that Ma Zongheng was generous and bold, and he was very busy.

Before I knew it, more than ten days had passed. Ma Zongheng only cares about training soldiers and horses every day, and the soldiers under his command are becoming more and more skilled, whether it is marching or fighting in front of the formation, they have made great progress. At the same time, Ma Zongheng and the generals practiced with the soldiers every day, and everyone was willing to work hard. Today's Gao Ran's view of Ma Zongheng has changed greatly, or more appropriately, he is fascinated by Ma Zongheng's various charms. And he is more and more sure that a rare pride of heaven like Ma Zongheng in ancient and modern times will definitely be able to make a name for himself in Hebei. What kind of Cheng dù can grow in the future, Gao Ran still dare not think. But he is very sure that he, a lord with the courage of ghosts and gods, and the charm that can attract people's hearts, has unlimited potential!

As the climate has become warmer and warmer in the past half month, Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Su Gu really sent troops to invade Dongjun again. And the first to send troops was the most powerful army of thieves in the southern area of Dongjun.

However, he said that the officers and men were all timid and did not dare to intercept them. Within a few days, the stubborn thief army reached Fan County, and tens of thousands of thieves surrounded Fan County.

However, Ma Zongheng also followed the agreement, and had already sent people to investigate, and when he was marching in Fan County, he had already led 3,000 soldiers to set off.

On this day, it was drizzling. On a hill in the east of Fan County, Ma Zongheng stood on horseback, looking at the tens of thousands of thieves in Fan City under the mountain, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said: "It seems that this man is not an idle person, looking at the layout of his army, it is very strict." According to the scouts, there were only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in the city, but because the thieves besieged the city, they could only allocate troops. If there are no reinforcements to rescue, I am afraid that within five days, Fan County will be broken! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Zhang Liao's sharp eyes flashed, and he said in a condensed voice: "Lord! Liao is willing to lead one first to frustrate the spirit of the thief army!! ”

"Nope! Our army marched in a hurry for several days, and the soldiers were exhausted, and the baggage behind them had not yet arrived. Don't rush into the army. Ma Zongheng waved his hand and said with an unquestioning attitude.

When Zhang Liao heard this, his expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "The lord said that it is reasonable, but now Fan County is in danger, but if you are negligent, once the city is broken, the thieves have a city to rely on, wouldn't it be more tricky?" ”

Ma Zongheng smiled faintly, raised his hand to look at the dark clouds, very dark Cangyu, raised his hand to catch the rain and said: "Attack immediately now, even if you can frustrate the thief's sharpness, but I am afraid that there will be many dead and injured brothers, and the thieves are overwhelming, I am afraid that they will attack Fan County afterwards." Don't worry, wait for the Red Devil's team to come, this rain will stop, and it's not too late to attack again, now withdraw first, be cautious and hidden, and recuperate!! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Zhang Liao, who seemed a little impatient, couldn't help but retract his face a little, and said: "The lord is right, but Liao is too eager for quick success." ”

If you really want to talk about it, the current Zhang Liao's experience in leading the army is really not as sufficient as Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng believes in a truth, among the soldiers, there are indeed talented geniuses, but there is no so-called winning general. Every military strategist and marshal who can make a name for himself can only be shaped after countless life and death tempering and hard work. Just like Ma Jian in the post-Three Kingdoms period, even Zhuge Kongming, who can be called a 'demon talent', is also full of admiration for him, which shows his high talent. However, because Ma Tan is less than grinding, although he has talent in his belly, he has not personally researched it, and it is just talk on paper. Of course, coupled with Ma Yan's arrogance and self-esteem, even Sima Yi, who is enough to be compared with Zhuge Liang, is completely ignored, and has a fatal lack in character. Because of this, Ma Tan's army was defeated in the street pavilion, and Zhuge Liang had to behead this genius with infinite possibilities to prove military law!

Therefore, Ma Zongheng will not make a fuss about Zhang Liao's current shortcomings, but he believes that in the near future, Zhang Liao will definitely grow into the peerless famous general who is powerful in Jiangnan and Xiaowa in Dongwu but dare not cry when he hears his name!

However, he said that Ma Zongheng had a certain idea, so he and Zhang Liao led the return from the horse. Fortunately, the drizzle did not intensify, only slowly, and there was no thunder, although the climate was humid, but at least you could take shelter from the rain in the dense forest.

But if there is a thunderstorm, Ma Zonghengzi, who has the knowledge of later generations, will never dare to camp troops in the dense forest.

After settling down, Ma Zongheng sent scouts to patrol all over the mountain to beware of the meticulous work of the thieves. At night, the soldiers did not dare to start a fire, so they could only send soldiers to garrison everywhere and take turns to rest. Speaking of which, Ma Zongheng does have a set of rules for governing the army, and in such a harsh environment, none of the soldiers complained or complained. After all, Ma Zongheng, the lord, did not set up a tent and share weal and woe with them.
