"Giggles, Gongzi Cheng is so strategic, even that is not your opponent, Huangsha City has you in charge, stable as a rock, why do you have to sigh?" At this time, Beigong Feng, who was sitting in the high hall, smiled charmingly, quite amorous, if it was an ordinary man, I am afraid that she would have been fascinated by her.

Ke Cheng Gongying's concentration is comparable to that of others, and he smiled lightly: "The patriarch of Beigong is too worried. I'm not worried about Yan Xing, but my family in Jicheng. ”

Beigong Feng's expression couldn't help but froze when he heard this, and he looked at Wang Yi at the bottom of the stairs. Wang Yisui asked with some eagerness: "What does Brother Chenggong mean by this?" Could it be that Jicheng is in trouble? ”

Cheng Gongying frowned, hesitated for a while, but still said what he thought in his heart, and said, "That's right." Jicheng is already weak, far inferior to the people under the command of Wang and Han, although it has to be defended by the city, but if the news of being attacked by Yan Xing comes out, I don't know how to make a decision. If it is abandoned, the untrustworthy righteousness will be in the world, and the descendants under his command, such as Pang father and son, and Zhang Heng, will inevitably be centrifugal. If it is saved, the strength of Jicheng will be weakened again, and the morale will inevitably plummet, and the enemy will take the initiative and set up an ambush, fearing that the reinforcements will be wiped out before they arrive. ”

Beigong Feng's face changed greatly when he heard this, he got up suddenly, and said hurriedly: "As you said, saving or not saving is also a dead end!?" ”

Cheng Gongying's eyes showed a little different color, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't seem to be sure, and said with a slight bow: "Nine times out of ten, this is Han Jiuqu's plan to attack the heart." Unless there is an unexpected turnaround, Jicheng will be difficult to protect. ”

At this time, Wang Yi suddenly smiled, his smile was full of confident charm, and his exquisite facial features looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

"No, I have a plan. can make Han Jiuqu's heart-attacking plan stillborn! Wang Yi's soft voice was like a spring breeze, bringing new vitality.

"Sister, what's the plan, tell me quickly!" Beigong Feng's face was overjoyed, and he asked hurriedly. Cheng Gongying was also quite surprised, and looked at Wang Yi curiously.

But Wang Yi's eyes also looked at Cheng Gongying, and said with a smile: "Ma Lang is quite talented in knowing people, and he does not hesitate to gamble with his life for the sake of Brother Chenggong, so it can be seen that he attaches great importance to Brother Chenggong." But if Brother Chenggong repairs a letter and reports to Jicheng, Ma Lang learns that you are willing to guard Huangsha City, he must be calm in his heart, and he will not give the enemy a chance!! ”

When Cheng Gongying heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he smiled with some sarcasm: "Hmph, Miss Wang's words are simple, but how can you be sure that Ma Xi will trust me!?" ”

"It turns out that Jicheng has fallen into a dead end, so now, why don't Brother Chenggong give it a try? Success or failure is left to fate. Suddenly, Wang Yi became a little free, smiling, strong and brave, and there was an alternative kind of woman who did not let her eyebrows go.

Cheng Gongying's heart couldn't help but be for a while, and at this time, Beigong Feng in the hall also bowed his head and said: "After Brother Ma captured you that day, I asked him privately, is it worth gambling with your life just for one person?" He said that talents are rare, not to mention the best in the world. I also believe in Brother Ma's vision! ”

Cheng Gongying's face changed again when he was obedient, he closed his eyes and groaned, he had to think carefully. In fact, Wang Yi, this girl should not be underestimated, she wants to become a Gongying Xiushu and report to Jicheng, and she has another intention, that is, to help Jicheng be stable. If Cheng Gongde saw this letter and knew that Cheng Gongying was willing to guard Huangsha, it was very likely that he would also turn to Ma Zongheng to assist him in guarding Jicheng.

Wang Yi's mind naturally couldn't hide it from Cheng Gongying. Cheng Gongying wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking of Wang Yi and Beigong Feng's words, he couldn't help but have a curiosity that was difficult to refuse, wanting to see if Ma Zongheng would trust him so much as the two said. Or it was this kind of murderous curiosity that made Cheng Gongying choose to take a risk again.

"Please also ask the Patriarch of Beigong to send someone to set off immediately tonight, the sooner this letter reaches Jicheng, the better!!" Cheng Gongying's eyes burst into light, and when Beigong Feng heard it, he was immediately overjoyed, and shouted: "Come on, pen and ink waiting!" ”

But it was said that at the second watch of the night, Yan Xing was resting in the tent, and felt a tingling pain coming from his right shoulder, and his eyes were terrifying.

"Newspaper~~!! As General Yan expected, there was indeed a team of men and horses in Huangsha City who came out late at night, but they needed to be captured and asked!? ”

Suddenly, an urgent message came from outside the tent. When Yan Xing heard this, he grinned and shouted: "Pass my order, you must not act lightly, even if you let these people leave!" ”

The soldiers outside seemed to be a little surprised, and after a long groan, they reacted and promised to leave.

"Hmph, presumably these horses are rushing to Jicheng to move rescue soldiers, so as the lord expected. Hmph, it won't be long before this Yellow Sand City is in my pocket!! Yan Xing's heart was secretly satisfied, and his smile was even more bloodthirsty and murderous.

However, it was said that Liang Xing and Cheng Yin's soldiers and horses were based in the north and south of Jicheng, and they had not moved for the past two days. And Ma Zongheng, who was guarding Jicheng, was also frosty in the past two days, and seemed to be worried.

On this day, in the hall of the government. Pang Ming's face was worried, and he said: "Liang and Cheng's two troops have been outside for a long time, and now they have not seen any movement, I am afraid that there is a trick in the secret." ”

When Pang Rou heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she sighed, but did not speak. Ma Zongheng didn't want everyone to mess up, so he looked calm and didn't speak.

Suddenly, someone rushed to report: "Lord~~!! Someone in Huangsha City came to report it!! ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he suddenly stood up and shouted, "Spread quickly!" ”

After a while, more than a dozen people arrived, and just about to salute, Ma Zongheng was exempted, and asked about important matters. Everyone talked about the situation of Huangsha City, as well as the entrustment of Beigong Feng and Wang Yi, and then one of them put Cheng Gongying's letter on it. When Ma Zongheng heard this, his eyes were shining, and he hurried over, took the letter, opened it, and read it.

Suddenly, Ma Zongheng's gloom faded in an instant, and he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha~~!! Heaven is endless, I too!! Fortunately, with the help of Cheng Gongying, why not be afraid of that!! ”

Pang Ming had heard Cheng Gong's wisdom frustrate Yan Xing before, but before he could react from the shock, he heard Ma Zongheng shouting like this, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "This child of Cheng Gong's family has such a powerful ability?" ”

Although Pang Rou rarely has contact with Cheng Gongying on weekdays, he also has several faces, thinking that Cheng Gongying is low-key on weekdays, but now he is already a blockbuster, only to find that he is deeply hidden, and said: "Or I and my father have missed the eye, this Cheng Gongying can outwit Yan Xing's villain, he is not an ordinary person!" But how could such a wise person? ”

"It's not a secret, the eldest lady has been persuading Cheng Gonggong, or Cheng Gongzi was moved by the sincerity of the eldest lady." The soldier who spoke just now seemed to guess the meaning of Pang Rou's words, and replied in a condensed voice.

Ma Zongheng's face was shocked, and finally he smiled, and asked the soldier, "What is your name?" ”

"Back to the lord, I was an orphan, fortunately adopted by the Wang family, because I looked weird when I was a child, tiger head and tiger brain, the people in the palace called me Xiaohu. Later, I went out with the marshal and made some merits, and the marshal let me enter the king's house and gave me the surname of the king. Wang Xiaohu's face was shocked, and he replied busily.

"Okay, Xiaohu, you've done a good job, go down and get your reward. Also, teach someone to send an order to Lao Hu for me, and ask him to invite the head of the Cheng family to come over, and say that I have something important to discuss with him! "Ma Zongheng has always rewarded and punished clearly, this Wang Xiaohu is also quite clever, although or he has not been too active in history, but it does not affect his personal ability, there have been many unknown talents and heroes throughout the ages, indulged in the ruthless long river of history.

Wang Xiaohu also found the look of appreciation in Ma Zongheng's eyes, and his heart was excited, eager to try, and retreated after agreeing.

When he was young, Cheng Gongde walked in slowly with a smile on his face, and bowed: "I don't know what the city lord is looking for me?" If the small one can do a little bit, the definition cannot be shirked. ”

Cheng Gongde, the old fox's words, Ma Zongheng naturally didn't believe it, and said with a faint smile: "I happen to have a secret letter from Cheng Gongzi here, I don't know if Cheng Gong's head needs to see it?" ”

Cheng Gongde's face was originally calm and determined, but his face changed suddenly, his eyes opened slightly, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "If the city lord is willing, it will be the best." ”

Ma Zongheng smiled, Pang Rou understood, so he took the letter and handed it to Cheng Gongde. Cheng Gongde's expression froze, and after looking at it for a while, his expression only changed slightly, and it was almost difficult to find if it weren't for someone who had seen people.

"It seems that the dog has made up his mind. But I don't know if the lord of the city can trust him. Cheng Gongde's eyes shimmered, looking directly at Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng didn't think about it, and said categorically: "Huangsha City has a Cheng Gongzi in charge, and it is impregnable. But as long as we hold Jicheng, it won't take many days, and Han Jiuqu's soldiers and horses will definitely retreat! ”

Ma Zongheng's resolute attitude couldn't help but surprise Cheng Gongde secretly. Cheng Gongde stared at the horse for a while, and then saluted again: "That's the case, Cheng Gong's family is willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”

This time, Cheng Gongde probably meant what he said. When Ma Zongheng heard this, he was very happy and said with a smile: "Hahaha!! If you can keep Jicheng, you should make a great contribution to becoming a public family!! ”

With the surrender of the Cheng family, the situation in Jicheng gradually stabilized. On the other side, Han Sui, who was guarding the rear, heard that Yan Xingshou was defeated in the first battle and was about to raise troops to help. Ma Teng, who had been holding the wind and holding his troops still, suddenly led tens of thousands of troops to the city. Han Sui was shocked and didn't dare to act rashly.

Zhongping 5th year, March. In Xiliang, the remnants of the Tianyi Army led by Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Wang Yu continued to fight. At the same time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty listened to the slander of the ten permanent servants, transferred Huang Pusong back from Sanfu, and sent Dong Zhuo as the Shaofu, in charge of the soldiers and horses of Sanfu and Liangzhou. The cunning Dong Zhuo was not in a hurry to annihilate the remnants of the Heavenly Righteous Army, but listened to Li Ru's strategy and let them fight among themselves in order to reap the benefits of the fishermen.

In this melee around Tianshui Jicheng, the most active ones were not Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two great warlords who shook Xiliang. On the contrary, it was Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Xi. It is said that Ma Xi first united with the Hu people of the Beigong family, made a surprise attack on Jicheng, and annihilated Wang Yu's deployment, Han Sui then sent troops to attack, but because of Wang Yu's defeat, he did not dare to march rashly. In addition, Yan Xing, the general under Han Sui, attacked Huangsha City, which was empty, but failed to succeed, and was killed by the Hu people who were united in the first battle, and I heard that he was also wounded by arrows.

At this moment, Ma Teng, who had been standing still, suddenly appeared behind Han Sui's army, and Han Sui did not move. This scuffle, which involved the direction of the entire Xiliang situation, fell into a stalemate for a while.

After that, half a month passed unconsciously. The imperial court suddenly ordered that Han Sui be the Taishou of Jincheng and Ma Teng would be the Taishou of Tianshui, and an envoy would be sent to announce it as a recruitment. Han Sui and Ma Teng both agreed to stop the war, and soon Han officially withdrew his troops and retreated to Jincheng.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, May. Ma Teng led all the branches under his command to officially enter Tianshui and reward the meritorious people. Among them, his eldest son Ma Xi made great contributions, and Ma Teng was promoted to the imperial court as a broken captain, and the imperial court let him be. As for Hu Che'er, Pang father and son, Cheng Gongying, Zhang Heng, Jiang Jian and other soldiers were rewarded one by one. Ma Teng rewarded the three armies, and the armies were overjoyed.

"Hahahaha~~!! You must drink today without getting drunk and not returning~~!! In the main hall of Jicheng Mansion, Ma Tengjin sat on top of the high hall and laughed loudly. In the main hall, there are two seats on the left and right, the left side is a cadre of old ministers under Ma Teng, and the right side is a group of rising stars led by Ma Zongheng.
