But just when Ma Chao was about to drink, Ma Zongheng nodded heavily and said, "You are right." ”

After that, Ma Zongheng then turned around and said to Ma Chao and the other three younger brothers: "You can also go and rest, and you will have your own conclusion tomorrow." ”

"But!" When Ma Chao heard this, he was anxious, and he was about to say that the eldest sister-in-law was still in Yan Xing's hands. At this time, Ma Xiu secretly dragged Ma Chao. Ma Chao couldn't help but pause. At this time, Ma Zongheng frowned and said, "Second brother, don't you listen to me!?" ”

"Nope! I! ”

"Do you feel ashamed of your eldest brother, so you are eager to make up for your sins?" Ma Zongheng seemed to have seen through Ma Chao's thoughts. Ma Chao couldn't help lowering his head, not daring to look directly.

"In the war of soldiers, the most taboo thing is a manic word, otherwise you would have been defeated so much before, if you still don't know how to converge! It's hard to make a big deal in the future! Ma Zongheng was unrelenting, looking like he hated iron but not steel, and shouted in a deep voice. Ma Chao has always had a good face, but his talent is high after all, so he is proud of his talent, and sometimes even Ma Teng dares to contradict him. But this was so scolded by Ma Zongheng, but Ma Chao didn't dare to attack. At first, Ma Chao thought that he would be like this because he respected Ma Zongheng, but gradually he realized that he was actually afraid of this big brother.

And after thinking of the comparison just now, Ma Chao was more sure of his thoughts.

His eldest brother is stronger than him!

"Let's go back!" Ma Zongheng snorted coldly. Ma Chao suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and shook his hand to agree, so he retreated with Ma Xiu and Ma Tie. Ma Tie, who has been particularly close to Ma Zongheng since he was a child, almost wanted to talk to Ma Zongheng, but he didn't see him for many years, and he always felt a little alienated, and he also faintly felt that Ma Zongheng had an extremely terrifying anger on his body, as if he could destroy the world, and finally didn't dare to approach, and left with Ma Chao and Ma Xiu.

"It seems that several sons and lords are still a little estranged." Cheng Gongying frowned and said. Ma Zongheng didn't pay much attention to this, and said coldly: "After all, I haven't seen each other for many years, but some alienation is inevitable." What's more, at the moment, my eldest lady and Fufeng City are still in the hands of the thieves, how to take them back is the most important thing at the moment! ”

When mentioning the word thief, Cheng Gongying could clearly feel that Ma Zongheng was suppressing the anger in his body, but there was still a little leakage, which made Cheng Gongying feel like he was on the side of winter, and he couldn't help but chill.

The night passed, and the sun just rose. In the big tent in the camp, I saw Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and several veteran generals of the Ma family sitting on the left seat. And Ma Zongheng, led by Pang De, Cheng Gongying and other civil and military forces, sat in the seat on the right.

Everyone has been waiting for half a pillar of incense. Ma Zongheng's procrastination made the faces of several Ma generals worse and worse.

Cheng Gongying smiled, relieved the atmosphere, and said, "There are few lates on the Lord's fair day, there must be something urgent." ”

"Hmph, what's the urgency, I'm in a hurry to rescue Fufeng, it seems that the eldest prince has forgotten, and now he has a small family and is also in Fufeng City!"

A veteran of the Ma family suddenly shouted coldly. Pang De looked at it, the lion's eyes narrowed, and suddenly two cold lights shot out, and he was about to drink. At this time, suddenly a majestic figure quickly stepped into the tent, a little cold, and said unhurriedly: "My wife woke up after recovering from illness, and I was happy for a while, so I couldn't help but say a few more words, wasting your time, and it was indeed my fault." Where is Cheng Gongying!? ”

When Cheng Gongying heard this, he hurriedly stepped out and responded: "My subordinates are here." ”

"What is the crime of neglecting military discussions?"

When Cheng Gongying heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but when he saw that Ma Zongheng's eyes were sharp, he didn't dare to slack off, so he replied: "If the plot is lighter, the rod will be beaten ten times to kill the stick, but if the case is more serious, or if the person who despises and does not participate, he can be beheaded!" ”

As soon as Cheng Gongying's words came out, Ma Chao first changed color, and hurriedly walked out: "Sister-in-law Beigong has experienced several battles in order to save the wind, if it weren't for her encouragement, I'm afraid our army would have been broken by Yan Xing." Now that she can wake up, it is really a blessing for our army, and it is reasonable for the eldest brother to visit and condole. Is there any slackness? ”

Ma Zongheng ignored Ma Chao's words, and shouted to Cheng Gongying categorically: "What crime should I be!?" ”

When Cheng Gongying heard this, his face was solemn, and he replied: "Although the lord is negligent, but the time is not long, and he has the courage to admit it, he can first beat the rod ten times to kill the stick, and then because there is a law in the army before the war, the lord can temporarily accept his crime, and when the war is over, he will make up for it!" ”

The so-called pre-war order is a law that Ma Teng personally added back then, and its intention is to let generals who have made mistakes reflect on themselves before the war, and after going to the battlefield, they can also fight hard to remedy their sins.

"Good! Time is running out, execute immediately! When Ma Zongheng heard this, without thinking, he shouted. The people in the tent will not help but change color when they hear this. Ma Zongheng frowned, and immediately shouted and asked him to be punished left and right. The left and right did not dare to disobey, so they had to act according to the order.

So, Ma Zongheng was beaten ten sticks by the rod in front of everyone, and Ma Zongheng had a strict order to show no mercy, these ten sticks were sticks to the meat, and those veterans of the Ma family were shocked to change color again and again. After the punishment, Ma Zongheng's face did not change, walked to the middle seat, and sat down like a horse with a golden knife. Ma Zongheng also felt that his buttocks were like fire, and after he sat down, the sting was incomparable, but he still held back and said, "If you have any plans, tell me quickly." ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's voice fell, Ma Chao also cheered up, and immediately shook his face and said: "Now that the eldest brother has come to the army, it can be said that he is better than thousands of troops, but he can raise troops to kill, win for a while first, and demoralize him!" ”

Ma Zongheng listened and was dumbfounded, and Ma Chao subconsciously lowered his head.

"Hmph. Who else can see otherwise? Ma Zongheng snorted coldly, and turned his gaze to Cheng Gongying. Cheng Gongying understood, took a step, finished saluting, and then condensed and said: "Now that Li Xuan's Xiliang army has not yet arrived, it seems that this Li Xuan is cautious, so he does not dare to march quickly." The lord and I and the other party, although they set out a few days late for his army, but they were in a starry night along the way, and the number of people in the team was small, so it was easy to march, so they rushed to Fufeng faster than him. ”

When Cheng Gongying said this, he paused deliberately, as if he had the intention to pay attention to everyone's reaction. Sure enough, when Ma Chao heard this, his color suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "This Li Zhiran is not in the Sanfu, why did he suddenly attack Fufeng?" ”

Cheng Gongying heard this, but he didn't dare to answer immediately, he looked at Ma Zongheng, and after getting Ma Zongheng's approval, Fang and Ma Chao explained the ins and outs.

"Damn cunning thief, it's really hateful to unite with this Li Zhiran to deal with my Ma family~!!" Ma Chao was furious when he heard this, and couldn't help shouting angrily.

"The Ma family has a great cause, and they mistakenly believe in traitors, and this time they fall into disaster, which will naturally cause the covetousness of the jackals. But I think that this is a crisis but also an opportunity, but if my Ma family can survive this catastrophe, not only can we annihilate the strong enemy, but also come out of Liangzhou, forcibly occupy Yongzhou, welcome the Son of Heaven, and establish a new policy, and order the world's heroes~! Hearing the words of Cheng Gongying, the words were powerful and loud, and everyone heard it, and their faces couldn't help but change, and suddenly they felt that the blood all over their bodies was boiling, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

"I haven't seen this Cheng Gongying for a few years, but this bragging skill has grown a lot." Ma Zongheng secretly looked in his eyes and couldn't help laughing. Although he was secretly thinking like this, he was extremely appreciative of Cheng Gongying's ability to inspire everyone's fighting spirit with a single word.

"Mr. Gao Zhi, but I don't know how my Ma family should turn the danger into a disaster according to the current war situation, and I hope that Mr. will give advice!" Ma Chao's expression froze, and he couldn't help but respect Cheng Gongying a little more, and asked.

Cheng Gongying listened to it and smiled: "It's simple. With Yan Xing's cautious temperament now, but if Li urges the future, I'm afraid he won't go out of the city to fight lightly. You might as well do this......" Cheng Gongying said quickly.

When the people in the tent heard this, they all changed color again and again, and they were shocked by it. Wait a moment, Cheng Gongying said. Ma Chao couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Sir, this plan is wonderful!" Prepare quickly to achieve great things!! ”

As soon as Ma Chao fell behind, he was eager to start the allocation. At this moment, Ma Zongheng suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Although the plan to sacrifice wine is good, but the matter is big, if the allocation of personnel is not appropriate, I am afraid that it will be counterattacked by the enemy!" ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Cheng Gongying's expression couldn't help but change slightly, and then he was awake, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "What the lord said is reasonable, Yan Xing and Li Xun are both brave and resourceful, but if they are not careful, they will be recognized by these two people, and then our army will suffer from the enemy on the back of the belly, and it will be destroyed~!" ”

"The plan to make a public sacrifice wine can be described as infinitely ingenious, and the rest only needs to be done by manpower. Why should the eldest brother be so cautious!? Ma Chao frowned, and suddenly felt some indescribable strange feelings in his heart, as if he felt that his eldest brother's words were aimed at him.

"Meng Qi! How many heroes are there in the world? It's not that I'm cautious, it's that these people aren't jackals that you and I can despise. The horse's eyes were long, his voice was calm, and he fell word by word, like a boulder hitting people's hearts.

Ma Chao's complexion changed slightly, although he was a little angry, but he still didn't collide with Ma Zongheng, so he admitted his mistake and retreated.

Ma Zongheng's expression sank, and then he condensed and said, "Where is Ma Dai!?" ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Ma Dai couldn't help but change his expression, and he hurriedly rushed out to meet him.

"The end will be here!"

"Okay, I order you to lead five hundred elite soldiers and immediately go to the rear to resist Li Xuan's troops!" The horse's shouts fell.

Ma Chao immediately said urgently: "Big brother, my cousin is still young now, how can he lead an army alone!?" Moreover, Li Xuan's army has more than 20,000 people, and his cousin only has 500 soldiers and horses, isn't he throwing himself into the net!? ”

Ma Zongheng listened, his face was calm and solemn, and said: "Xiao'er doesn't know the subtlety of the deployment of soldiers, so don't interject nonsense!" Am I out of measure~!? ”

Ma Zongheng showed no mercy to Ma Chao, and he was applauded. Ma Chao's face changed continuously, and a little anger flashed in his sharp dragon eyes, but he still didn't attack, and Nuo Nuo retreated.

"From now on, but anyone who dares to intervene indiscriminately will be punished for contempt of military discipline!" Ma Zongheng then looked around at everyone and shouted coldly without question. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel nervous, and thought that Ma Zongheng had just been punished in front of everyone in order to prove his military degree, and he was beaten ten times with a rod to kill the stick. Those ten strokes were all sticks to meat, and everyone saw it with their own eyes. Thinking of Ma Zongheng's strict management of the army, everyone couldn't help but restrain one after another.

Ma Zongheng immediately set his eyes on Ma Dai and said, "Although you have not been in the war for a long time, you are alert and delicate by nature, and you are enough to entrust you with big things. This time, you go, and remember, you need to panic to confuse the enemy, if the battle is to retreat, the enemy is stationed to disturb, be sure to delay Li Xuan's army in the rear as much as possible. When the time comes, I'll send someone to teach you how to act! ”

Ma Zongheng's words made Ma Dai excited, and under his impressive eyes, Ma Dai felt that his whole person had been seen through, and it was rare that this hallmate who was all over the world seemed to value him very much. This really made Ma Dai a little flattered, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Cheng Gongying smiled, he still understood why Ma Dai was like this, because he had the same feeling at the beginning, and said, "Captain Ma Duwei is not going to take his order quickly?" ”

When Ma Dai heard this, he quickly reacted, knelt down on one knee, and said with emotion: "The last general is willing to die, and he would rather die than live up to the general's high hopes!" ”

I only listened to Ma Dai's shouting, the words were loud, loud, and full of scorching fighting spirit. Ma Chao's face couldn't help but change secretly, Ma Dai had been following him for a while, but he had never seen him so high-spirited.

Ma Zongheng also showed a smile on a rare occasion, praised Ma Dai a few words, and then ordered him to retreat, that is, he said: "Where is the red ghost!?" ”

"The Red Devil is here!!" Pound waited for a long time, and as soon as he heard the sound of the horse's command, he immediately rushed out to meet him.
