It turned out that this group of horse thieves were the remnants of Zhang Liao's withdrawal from Hedong that they didn't have time to withdraw, as one person said just now, they didn't want to take refuge in the Cao army, or become a prisoner of the Cao army, so they all hid and waited for the opportunity to move. These people are indeed hidden, and even if they are haunted, they will come and go like the wind. Even Fei Yu's fine work did not find their exact location, and now that Hedong fell into the hands of Xiahou Yuan, Fei Yu Xiaozuo's action did not dare to take too much risk, and then Ma Zongheng came to Hedong, almost all Fei Yu fine work went to secretly guard, explore the road, and sentry, so this group of horse thieves has not been in contact with Fei Yu so far.

"Hey! What's the use of saying so much!! If the lord is definitely not afraid of us, I will pounce together, if this person dares to take the initiative to fight, then it must be the lord! ! Back then, I served as a guard beside the lord, and then I was fortunate to be appreciated by the lord and transferred to a hundred generals. The lord is as kind to me as a mountain, and I remember his face in my heart, and I will definitely be able to recognize the lord!! So I'm going to take the lead!! ”

But Ma Zongheng listened to those people muttering for a long time, but there was no movement, and he couldn't help frowning, and shouted: "Wait for these thieves, whether to fight or not!?" Hahaha~~!! Could it be that he was frightened by the majesty of Biao Ye!? If that's the case, then run away quickly, maybe Biao Ye will be merciful and wait for a way out!! ”

"Good!! Then I'll be offended!! At this time, among the horse thieves, suddenly a person rushed out with a knife on his horse, the momentum was terrifying, and he danced with a big knife, and the knife technique was somewhat similar to the Fulong ghost divine knife technique performed by Ma Zongheng.

At the same time, when the horse thieves saw that the leader had been killed, they seemed to have gained courage and rushed over to kill him.

Ma Zongheng's eyes suddenly appeared fierce, and in an instant, the ghosts and gods accompanied him, and the momentum of the stormy waves surged instantly, and the heaven and earth seemed to be lightless in an instant!

"Kill~!" The horse thieves were looking at the 'dart' and roared, and in an instant it seemed as if they had changed people, or more appropriately, they had turned into ghosts and gods.

Between the lightning and flint, the horses flew like rainbows, and came to the leader who came out first, and he was about to cut it down with a swing of his sword. The leader had already recognized that it was his own lord, but he was excited just now, and the red black under Ma Zongheng was too open, so he couldn't scream for a moment.

Seeing the horse coming, the dragon blade was about to be slashed down, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, but he didn't have fear, but tears were in his eyes, so he didn't look excited.

Ma Zongheng had never seen a person who was about to die under his knife, and he still looked grateful, and he was about to cry out with excitement, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and suddenly his face changed, as if he recognized the identity of that person.

Whew~~!!

The fierce sword wind came to a halt. At the moment when the horse vertical and horizontal dragon blade was only a millimeter away from the door of the human face, it suddenly stopped. The horse thieves behind were all stunned and subconsciously reined in their horses.

"You're Huang Ke?" Ma Zongheng frowned, slowly put away the knife, and suddenly asked suspiciously. When the man heard this, he was even more excited, and immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt down and bowed: "How can the little He De make the lord remember the villain's cheap name, this is really the luck of the villain's three lives, the villain is here to see the lord~~!! ”

"Ahh It's really the lord!! ”

"Why are you still stunned, don't you kneel down for Lao Tzu~~!!"

After the other two leaders shouted, they even dismounted and kowtowed, and soon the horse thieves followed suit and knelt down to greet them.

Seeing that a dry horse thief surrendered to his feet, Ma Zongheng was not happy, but glared angrily and shouted at Huang Ke: "Good you brute!" Dare to fall to this point and harm the reputation of my Ma Jiajun, do you know what crime you should be guilty of!? ”

When Huang Ke heard this, his face changed greatly, although it had a lot to do with it, he suddenly remembered that Ma Zongheng was extremely disgusted with thieves, but now he regretted it.

"My lord! There's a lot to do with this, so please listen to the villain! One of the leaders heard this, fearing that Huang Ke would be killed, and hurriedly shouted.

"Shut up!! The lord is right, I have harmed the reputation of Ma Jiajun, which I have not considered, but this is all my bad idea, it has nothing to do with the brothers, I am willing to apologize with death, but after I die, please give the brothers a chance to explain!! But seeing that Huang Ke's eyes were bright, he was not afraid, so he picked up the big knife on the ground, and immediately fell, and he was about to plunge it into his heart.

When the horse thief saw it, he didn't change his color, after all, Huang Ke was benevolent and righteous, and he took great care of everyone on weekdays, and now he wanted to die so inexplicably, everyone was unwilling.

But at the moment when Huang Ke's big knife was about to pierce his heart, a hurricane suddenly struck, and after a 'bang', the big knife in Huang Ke's hand suddenly split in half. Huang Ke's eyes widened, and then he looked at Ma Zongheng's cold face, and shouted with guilt on his face: "Lord!" I have failed your teachings, and I have no shame to see you again! ”

"Humph! For the sake of your careful protection of me back then, I will give you a chance to explain why! Ma Zongheng said coldly. When Huang Ke heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly thanked him, and then explained the ins and outs of it clearly.

Ma Zongheng heard that the places where they were hiding were very secret and rarely haunted, so he couldn't help but be relieved and secretly said: "No wonder Feiyu can't find them." It seems that this qiē is all this Huang Ke is arranging it, and this person has some skills! It seems that it is not only the famous generals recorded in history who are heroes. ”

Ma Zongheng's mind was spinning, and then he was shocked, and said: "Your courage is commendable, loyal, and you Huang Ke know how to endure and calculate, and you are also a rare general." I will make you the Commander of Wu'an, and all brothers should rise up. ”

Ma Zongheng has always rewarded and punished clearly, he has always strictly enforced those who make mistakes, and he has never been stingy with rewards for meritorious people.

When Huang Ke heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, this big ups and downs, not only saved his life, but also got promoted, under the excitement, he cried bitterly on the spot, and after standing up, it took a while to stop the tears.

Ma Zongheng then inquired about the current situation, and heard that several hills in the vicinity were occupied by them, and among them, they pretended to be horse thieves to investigate under the mountain, and the other groups of people hid in the mountains. Because when a group of men and horses left the territory, it was inevitable that the grain in the city fell into the hands of the Cao thieves, so they used a trick to move the grain out of the city and hide it in a secret place. These groups are currently led by a general named Chen Zhi.

"Chen to!? It turned out to be him, no wonder, no wonder! When Ma Zongheng heard this, his face was shocked. It is said that after Chen Zhi was under his command, he assigned Chen Zhi to Zhang Liao's command. And Chen Zhi is low-key, but his skills are extraordinary, and because Ma Zongheng once specially instructed Zhang Liao, this person is a rare general. Zhang Liao asked him to be stationed in Kaifeng, a heavy city in Hedong, with the intention of letting him experience a period of training and growth, and then transfer him back to his appointment.

And just when Ma Zongheng and Yigan recognized each other, suddenly there was a fierce shout of killing from behind, but it was Hu Che'er chasing after him. and also fought with the 'horse thief' who crashed into the woods.

When Ma Zongheng heard it, he recognized that it was Hu Che'er's shout, and immediately galloped away. A dry deployment also hurriedly caught up. Fortunately, Ma Zongheng arrived in time and stopped Hu Che'er, who only injured a few people. Later, Hu Che'er was shocked when he heard that these were all his comrades.

At this moment, a fast rider suddenly arrived, but it was Pound who sent someone to report that they had encountered an ambush by a group of bandits on the way. Ma Zongheng's face changed, and Huang Ke only thought about it at this time, and exclaimed: "It's not good! General Chen didn't know that it was you, the lord, and he had expected that your caravan might lure us away, so he set up an ambush in one place! ”

"Bastard!!" When Ma Zongheng heard this, he immediately glared and shouted angrily, but he was afraid that Chen would not be measured and hurt his two ladies, so he hurriedly urged the fast rider to lead the way and gallop over.

On the other side, after Pang De commanded the team to escape, he deliberately chose a remote direction, and soon came to the foot of a mountain pass, and was attacked by a group of bandits. Pound was shocked, hurriedly took his weapons, got on his horse, and prepared for battle. However, these bandits did not fight, but only asked them to leave the horses, and they were willing to buy them at market prices, or exchange them for grain. Where did Pang De believe the nonsense of these bandits, but it was inevitable that the two main mothers, Ma Yanyu and the Jiang family's mother and son were injured, and Pang De agreed, but secretly he was delaying time and trying to escape.

But he said that others would recognize him, and Pang Dezi also made a disguise, and now he was also like a horse, wearing a tiger skin hat, pressing the hat so that it was difficult to see his facial features, but he was burly and huge, like a lion, exuding a majestic majesty, and all the thieves seemed to be afraid and did not dare to approach.

"General Chen, you see that there are such heroes in this small caravan, it's really incredible!" At this time, on a high ground on the mountain, a group of people condescendingly looked down on the situation up and down.

In the middle is a young general, I saw that his eyebrows were upturned, sharp as a sharp sword, his eyes were bright, his face was like a crown of jade, and he was also a handsome man, wearing a white robe and silver armor, very chic, it was Chen Dao.

"Well, I see that these people are going in the direction of Hanoi, and then I see that their horses are all excellent, and it is very likely that they are Yuan Shao's people, or they are going to the northwest, just to find the lord and them to negotiate peace or discuss important matters. If this is the case, it will inevitably cause another disaster, and it will affect the lord, and our identity must not be discovered! Later, all the brothers will go down with me to tempt, but if it is really Yuan Shao's person, he must be very arrogant. But we do need war horses, and their good horses are just the right thing to do. But if they refuse to give in and start fighting, they will not let one go! ”

Chen Zhi said in a condensed voice. But although Chen Zhi is small, he seems to be very admired by everyone. When everyone heard this, they all received their orders.

When he was young, he said that Pang De was observing the surrounding terrain and the distribution of bandits, but he saw that the thieves were densely surrounded, and it was difficult to break through, so he was anxious.

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of hooves on the mountain, and when Pound looked at it, he saw a team of dozens of horsemen, driven down the mountain, and wore a heavy helmet on his head, covering his face, to see that he also had the intention to cover his face.

"Hmph, these bandits are mysterious and sneaky, they must not be good goods!" When Pound saw it, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. Soon the cavalry arrived, and several people threw down a few sacks, and as soon as the sacks hit the ground, a lot of white silver rolled out.

"That's enough silver to buy your horses. Take the money, leave your horses, and then you can go. Chen Zhiyi reined in and shouted.

Pound listened, but he sneered and shouted: "Hmph! Who knows if you will take the horses and suddenly surround and kill the people when we have no more horses to use!? If you really want to do this business, let your people disperse first! ”

For Pound's arrogance, all the thieves were secretly angry. On the contrary, Chen Zhi's face changed slightly, and he confirmed a few points in his heart, and immediately said coldly: "You don't think I'm stupid, if I let my brothers disperse, but you take the opportunity to escape, so what!?" ”

"The bandits really don't know the truth of doing business! The most important thing for us businessmen is credit!! As soon as your people disperse, I will give you all the horses at once!! Pound shouted, but he could fool people.

However, Chen Zhi didn't believe it, and pretended to be like a bandit, and scolded: "I don't know what to do!" You are already a turtle in an urn, and life and death are only in Lao Tzu's thoughts. Now I'm kind enough to let you wait for a way out, and you still don't appreciate it!? ”

"Haha!! Child, I see that you are not very old, but your tone is very big!! Is it a good man, do you dare to fight with grandpa!? If you win, Grandpa will not only give the horse away, but also hand over all the goods to you!! "Pound had an idea, but he wanted to use the agitation method, and then capture the thief first!
