Ma Ling was shocked when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "You, you said you are an official of the imperial court?" Now Liang Shan still asks you to continue to do this prefect, how is this possible? ”

It turned out that after the army of King Tian Hu of the Jin Dynasty captured the prefecture and county, the first thing he did was to indulge his subordinates in plundering, and if the resistance here was too fierce, they would slaughter the people to vent their anger, and at the same time they would kill or lock up the original officials, and only a small number of people who were good at sneaking and exploiting the people would stay and do things for them.

The lives of all the people under Tian Hu's rule have not improved in the slightest, but they have to endure it because they are afraid of him, so Ma Ling felt incredible when he heard that an official with such qualifications as Wang Lan could continue to work under Liangshan, and he also served as a high-ranking official like the prefect - this kind of good position is not enough for the people on his own mountain, only the second king Tian Leopard, the third king Tian Biao and other closest people to the King of Jin can hold it, but Du Jia gave him to the court officials, Will the generals and strategists of Liangshan not make trouble? Are they really doing the right thing for heaven?

People are old and treacherous, Wang Lan immediately saw Ma Ling's thoughts, and said with a smile: "If Brother Ma doesn't believe it, you can go to Dezhou City to see, in fact, it is not the old man who stays in office, all the officials who are willing to do things for the people Jia Shao have stayed and entrusted them with important tasks, so the people are living and working in peace and contentment, even if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, you can see it at a glance." ”

Hearing Wang Lan's words, the leaders of Liangshan also had a sense of pride in their hearts, and who didn't want to be admired by the people? Even those corrupt officials like to regard themselves as the parents of the people, and they let their subordinates incite and fool the people at every turn, and they do something like that, in fact, most of them are written by their own masters, and they already know that eight out of ten ordinary people in that era were illiterate, and where did they get the signatures of the people?

Ma Ling took a deep breath and said bitterly: "No need, in fact, I have seen it in the past two days, those people have spontaneously helped you fight, otherwise how can you prevent us?" Guishan is indeed extravagant, and I am convinced. ”

Everyone heard the change in his tone, and Zhang Lan hit the railway while it was hot: "So General Ma is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" ”

Ma Ling nodded with difficulty and said, "Yes, I hope that all the heroes in Liangshan will take care of you in the future." ”

Luan Tingyu was the first to stretch out his hands to welcome, after all, he had fought with Ma Ling for a long time before, and he was a hero: "Hahaha, that's right, brother welcomes you up the mountain, I won't regret it." ”

The rest of the leaders also expressed their positions, after all, everyone respects people who have the ability, Ma Lingneng and Luan Tingyu, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi and others have fought several battles and have already proved his strength.

Ma Ling felt warm in his heart, and the feeling that Liang Shan gave him was very sincere, not that kind of exclusion and fighting.

At this time, Du Jia also smiled and said: "Welcome Brother Ma to the mountain, I heard that you are also proficient in the art of divine action, and it just so happens that there is also a brother on my side who has some attainments in this area, why don't you two study and learn together?" ”

Ma Ling and Dai Zong were shocked at the same time: "Really? ”

It turns out that Ma Ling is known as Xiao Huaguang, in addition to the gold brick technique, he can also do magic arts, and the speed travels thousands of miles a day, still above Dai Zong, but his magic can only be performed for one day in the first place, and then he needs to rest for three days, and the second can only walk alone and cannot carry companions, this is the benefit of Dai Zong, all the two of them discussed it and felt happy in their hearts, and each had something to gain, and the rest of the leaders saw that Ma Ling had many abilities and also felt admiration, and everyone quickly integrated together.

Then Ma Ling asked his subordinates again, there were more than 4,000 people under his command at this time, of which 2,000 soldiers were willing to follow, and most of the rest were strong men who Tian Hu forcibly recruited or fooled over in Jizhou, some of them didn't want to fight anymore, and some were afraid that Tian Hu was unwilling to stay for their families, Du Jia didn't care, he was willing to stay, and he was unwilling to send a plate to pester, which made Ma Ling and other generals even more admired.

Then everyone entered the Dezhou Mansion together, talking about the experience of this period of time, Hu Yanzhuo's move to encircle Wei to save Zhao actually had an effect, Liangshan in order to defend the three cities of Mengzhou or paid a lot of price, not to mention the loss of many soldiers, but also sacrificed the two leaders of Jinyan Biao Shien and the jumping tiger Chen Da, and also ate a lot of fright.

But this matter also has a positive effect from another point of view, the first let everyone understand the cruelty and changeability of war, and it is not always as smooth sailing as when following Du Jia, and the second is also supplemented with a lot of troops and Xiaohuaguang Ma Ling, purely from a military point of view, the strength does not decrease but increases, and the third is that many people have been trained, the battlefield is like an iron-blooded oven, the ore is tempered out of fine iron and even steel, and those who can't stand the test can only become slag and exit, Therefore, those who can survive to the end are often of better quality, and in addition, the ability has been improved a lot, many soldiers have the skills of small leaders, and small leaders are promoted to big leaders, which can be regarded as successful from this point of view.

But emotionally it's another matter, especially many low-level soldiers, seeing many old friends or injured or killed are crying bitterly, and the leaders are also sad for Chen Da and Shi Grace, Du Jia arranged a memorial meeting and personally presided over it, which lasted for three days, so that everyone vented their depression and sadness in their hearts, but the soldiers died on the battlefield is also a kind of glory, and their spirit cards will be enshrined in the mourning hall of the cottage, and there are people who worship and clean it every day. Dependents are also given a generous pension.

After these things are done, Du Jia will gather the generals to discuss the next step, the heroes of the rivers and lakes don't like what gentlemen take revenge, ten years is not too late, and they don't like what to repay grievances with virtue, these heroes like to be happy and revenge, to report straight, this time they were beaten and must be doubled to revenge to come back, otherwise where to put everyone's face?

And as the leader of Liangshan, Du Jia is still too good in this regard, and there is no trace of the pedantry of a scholar, when he should be generous, he is not generous, and when he should be stingy, he is very arrogant, the whole Chinese history has become more and more weird since Confucianism was transformed and flourished, except for a few dynasties such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Taizong, Ming Chengzu, etc., they have always liked to reward foreigners with a lot of money, and they are stingy with their own people. In the end, he was defeated and pretended to cry bitterly and regretted it, and then he blew the benevolence and tolerance of the heavenly kingdom again, and it would be okay again, and the benefits would be taken in the future.

I saw the richest man in Xihong City, and I saw the Daxiang team and Evergrande fighting to the death in the middle, and I cried when everyone gave up their lives to block the gun, and I was ridiculed by my wife and the people in the movie theater, cough, it's really embarrassing, but I can't help it, as long as I see this kind of righteousness for my brother's ribs, I can't control my tears...
