Retreat, there is still life!

Although there is still a chance to turn the tables around, once defeated, you will have to pay the price of your life!

or the first frustration in his life, so that Zhao Yun finally knew what cowardice was, and suddenly Zhao Yun suddenly turned his horse and wanted to escape.

"Zhao Zilong, where did your guts go!? Suddenly, a roar resounded throughout the world.

Zhao Yun was frightened, full of unwillingness, and scolded: "Ma Xi dog thief, today's shame, I will pay it back tenfold!" ”

Seeing Zhao Yun flying away like a flying rainbow. Ma Zongheng didn't chase it, as soon as he noticed that Zhao Yun was secretly gaining momentum, once he hurriedly caught up, Zhao Yun would definitely make a move back to the horse pistol.

In fact, in this fierce battle with Zhao Yun, although Ma Zongheng won, his injuries were not light, and at this time, his internal organs seemed to be rolling, but he held back and did not come out.

"Humph!" Ma Zongheng snorted coldly, knowing that if Zhao Yun escaped now, he was afraid that he would become a confidant in the future. Ma Zongheng knew that there were too many enemies he had set up at the moment, and he had to get rid of some potential hidden dangers as soon as possible, so that he could be a terrifying figure like Zhao Yun!

The brain was turning, Ma Zongheng's heart was certain, he quickly put the dragon blade on the ground, and as soon as he took the flying star bow behind his back, he felt that his body had recovered a little, and he chased after him.

Zhao Yun felt that the terrifying killing intent was coming again, and subconsciously looked back, and couldn't help but be startled when he saw Ma Zongheng riding his horse and opening his bow to chase after him.

Between the lightning and flint, he suddenly heard the terrifying bowstring explode, and then Zhao Yun was surrounded by thunderbolts, and Peng Peng exploded continuously. Zhao Yun was so shocked that he changed color repeatedly, he had never seen such a terrifying archery skill, he just sat down and took a jade lion at night, galloping his horse and flying. And the Yezhao Jade Lion also seemed to know that his master was in danger, and endured his injuries, running wildly and suddenly, gradually distanced himself from the horse.

"Damn!! How can Lao Tzu's archery art be so difficult to practice!! Ma Zongheng saw that he couldn't even shoot, this thunder arrow seemed to be hugely powerful, and it would be violent at the first touch, but the accuracy was not good, and it could only be scary, and it was not effective, seeing Zhao Yun fleeing farther and farther, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but roar angrily.

This roar, in addition to annoyance, is also a little regretful. It's like a childhood dream ruined.

Zhao Zilong, who was loyal and courageous, invincible, and full of courage, fled and withdrew with hatred for himself, and once he went, I am afraid that he would never have the opportunity to recruit Zhao Yun in his life.

The horse reined in the horse, looking at Zhao Yun who was gradually moving away, he wanted to shoot but didn't shoot, and after sighing repeatedly, he couldn't calm down for a long time. After a while, several soldiers of the Ma family rushed over, and they couldn't help but be startled when they saw that Ma Zongheng's armor was cracked and his battle robe was also stained with blood.

"Then Zhao Yun's remnants can be solved?" Ma Zongheng didn't look back, and asked in a deep voice. One of the soldiers hurriedly replied: "Returning to the lord, except for the more than a dozen white horses who fled from Congyi and dozens of Wuhuan cavalry, the rest were captured by us!" ”

"Good!!" As soon as Ma Zongheng's words fell, two teams of people came one after another. Among them, in the team that rushed from above, a general rushed out with a look of imposingness: "Lord! An hour earlier, General Huang had caught up with Yuan Shangjun and had broken him. Yuan Shang was also cunning, but when he saw our army coming, he immediately abandoned the rear and middle, and only led the chariots in front to flee. Our army was unable to react for a while, and at the beginning, many officers and soldiers were eager to grab the car battle, which made the formation chaotic, but fortunately, General Huang calmed everyone in time and quickly commanded to stabilize the situation. Later, he fought with Yuan Shang's broken soldiers and horses, and when he wanted to chase after him, Yuan Shang had already led the former army's chariot and fled away. General Huang led a small group of elites to continue the pursuit, and ordered me to come back first to report, while the rest of the soldiers commanded the deployment and rushed back to Yecheng. ”

As soon as this report came out, the soldiers of the Ma family around were shocked when they heard it. In the other team, in the team that came from below, there was also a soldier who rushed out to report: "Lord!" Last night, when we rushed to the city, the people of Yecheng only cared about fleeing for their lives, pushing each other, and everyone couldn't persuade them, and there were detailed incitements. Fortunately, Lord Cheng took the opportunity to make a decision, killed a few evildoers and did a lot of work, which not only stabilized the hearts of the people, but also exposed the evil deeds of someone who was making trouble in secret. Subsequently, under the command of Lord Cheng, the army and the people worked together, and the fire in Yecheng was extinguished for seven or eight years. It's just that Yuan Shang's lackeys set fire to the Yecheng Hall first, so the fire in the Yecheng Hall is the most violent, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect. ”

"The root industry established by the Yuan family, but I am not rare, whether it is destroyed, then I will rebuild a bigger and deeper root industry!!" Ma Zongheng's ghostly eyes shone sharply, raised the dragon blade, and shouted in a hissing voice.

When the soldiers of the Ma family heard this, they were all excited and shouted loudly.

So, by noon, when Ma Zongheng returned to Yecheng, the fire had been extinguished. Fortunately, the soldiers and civilians put out the fire in time, Yecheng saved seven or eight points of appearance, and the cries of the people with joy could be heard everywhere on the streets.

Ma Zongheng returned to Yecheng, first praised Cheng Yu and a group of soldiers, and then appeased the people. The people of Yecheng saw that Ma Zongheng looked as powerful as a god, and although his whole body exuded a terrifying aura like a ghost, they could really feel that he had no malicious intentions.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Zongheng promised the people of Yecheng that he would take out 10,000 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of grain from the money and grain treasures of Yecheng to compensate for the losses of the people. As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, all the people of Yecheng present were frightened. And the soldiers of the Ma family all widened, and each showed a look of horror. Although they knew that Ma Zongheng had an extremely fierce side on the battlefield, he also had an extremely benevolent side to the people, and he would compensate the people, which was expected for a long time. But what I didn't expect was that Ma Zongheng was so generous as soon as he made a move, and then thought that the soldiers had countless casualties in order to take Jizhou, which really had the taste of a loser!

Ma Zongheng also seemed to sense the hearts of the people, and suddenly said that in order to reward the army and appease the dead brothers, he would take out 10,000 taels of gold as a pension, 20,000 taels of gold as a reward, and the treasures and blades were dried up, and they would be rewarded one by one on a certain day.

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Cheng Yu couldn't hold back anymore and shouted urgently: "Lord!! ”

Ma Zongheng didn't understand what Cheng Yu meant, but he laughed, covered his chin in front of a group of soldiers and civilians, and said with a smile: "Only when the people are rich and strong, I will be strong when I wait for these rulers in power." Therefore, in order to stabilize the people's livelihood and revive the former glory of Yecheng, why be stingy with spending a little silver? ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, the people of Yecheng, who were still sad that their homes were destroyed by the fire and were extremely lost, had no doubts now, and their eyes were red with excitement, and they knelt down one after another, as if they were meeting the sage emperor, kowtowing and bowing, grateful and grateful. The horses were busy dismounting, beckoning, and some were too excited to get up. Ma Zongheng persuaded again and again, so the people rose up one after another.

Immediately, Ma Zongheng looked at the surrounding soldiers again, and smiled: "There are also all the soldiers, who serve me loyally, fight for life and death, and share the great cause with me." You are all companions of life and death, Ma did not dare to be ungrateful, and now he actually took down Yecheng, and he wanted to be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, this is the reward that your brothers deserve, how can you be stingy? Since they are those brothers who died in battle, they are all martyrs of my Ma family, and I should make proper arrangements for their aftermath, and I will remember their achievements one by one, and dare not forget! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, all the soldiers of the Ma family, without exception, burst into tears, only to feel that their hearts were extremely warm, and it seemed that all the tiredness disappeared instantly, but suddenly there was infinite motivation, and they also knelt on the ground, bowed to Ma Zongheng, and shouted in unison: "The lord is very gracious, I am unforgettable, I am willing to die and serve for the rest of my life!" ”

Hearing the incomparably hot cheers, the people of Yecheng were also moved, and they knelt down again. Ma Zongheng is like a holy king, who is being worshiped by the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng. Cheng Yu's face changed when he saw it, and when he saw that Ma Zongheng's body was like a thousand rays of light, he couldn't help but kneel down convincingly.

Ma Zongheng did what he said, and Huang Zhong returned with a dry cart that day. Ma Zongheng immediately ordered the army to distribute money and food, and Cheng Yu and a cadre of scribes also quickly counted it earlier, and first sent out the counted allocation, but the people who had not been compensated were not in a hurry. This can't help but make people marvel, Yecheng, which was destroyed by the fire, not only does not look decadent now, but is well-behaved, orderly, and looks forward to the future.

On the other side, Huang Zhong and a cadre of soldiers also quickly counted the merits of a cadre of meritorious soldiers, so that they could be rewarded before tonight's banquet. As for the fierce battle of the horses, he first went to rest in an old mansion of the Yuan family, and assigned all the important things to his subordinates.

Soon, it was night. Ma Zongheng summoned the subordinates in the lobby of the Yuan's old mansion, and first rewarded Huang Zhong, Cheng Yu and other meritorious people one by one, and all the soldiers and civil servants were rewarded, and they were all overjoyed. As for Pang De, Zang Ba and others, they will wait for their army to arrive, and then reward them separately.

Among them, the one with the greatest credit and the heaviest reward is undoubtedly Guo Jia, who planned the entire Hebei war and died of illness not long ago.

Ma Zongheng specially named Guo Jia as a military general, and sent an edict to the imperial court, please be a wine marquis, and allocated Guangchuan City as a hereditary land for his heirs, and his descendants are free to govern for generations, without paying taxes, and the city is respected by the Guo family!

Ma Zongheng deliberately stayed at the end to reward Guo Jia, and everyone changed color when they heard it. Cheng Yu felt that this was too much nonsense, even if Guo Jia's credit was great, he might have let go of such a heavy power to his heirs, and hurriedly walked out and persuaded: "Lord!! Although the military generals have made great contributions, it is a great reward to allocate a city for their heirs. And since ancient times, Yu has not heard of it, for the subordinates, more respect for the king, although it is only in Guangchuan City, but this is really detrimental to the prestige of the lord, please think twice!! ”

As soon as Cheng Yu's words came out, many soldiers who felt that this move was inappropriate couldn't help but want to persuade them. At this time, Huang Zhong turned back to one of his subordinates, cast a look, and signaled not to act rashly.

Huang Zhong will be like this, but it is no wonder, after all, it was Guo Jia who recruited him under the Ma clan in the first place, and Guo Jia's contribution is so great, if Ma Zongheng can establish the immortal emperor in the future, he will be rewarded as the king. At present, Ma Zongheng let the descendants of the Guo family directly govern Guangchuan, and the whole city and respect the Guo family seems absurd, but this just represents Ma Zongheng's deep affection for Guo Jia.

Moreover, Huang Zhong also found that the eyes of many soldiers behind him became extremely hot, and they seemed to have unlimited motivation to expand their achievements, which was precisely because of the effect of Ma Zongheng's reward.

The so-called everything is beneficial to kill, Ma Zongheng's great affection for Guo Jia has also inspired the desire of many soldiers to make meritorious contributions!

At this time, Ma Zongheng sighed lightly and said, "Zhongde is worried a lot, but you are all too worried. In fact, Feng Xiao talked to me about this matter a long time ago. He had a will, and set up the land to be given the city as the 'wine city', within the wine city, only one-twentieth of the population, but if there is more than one soldier and one soldier, it is a treason, and the Guo family can be beheaded. In addition, there is no tax on anyone who establishes a restaurant in the wine city, but it must be provided for the daily needs of the Guo family, and every qiē wine is taken by the Guo family first. In addition, the Guo clan must always be loyal to the Ma clan, but if there is a bad intention, the Ma clan can withdraw his hereditary position at any time and take back the territory. ”
