Chapter 297: Return

However, he thought that Yuan Shao would attack his deployment, and he was afraid that he would also launch a sneak attack on Hedong.

But soon, Ma Zongheng's words made him know that the severity of the matter was probably beyond his imagination.

"Immediately rectify the army, something happened in Yanzhou!" As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, he couldn't help but tighten his heart, and said hurriedly: "But if we evacuate, I'm afraid Hedong will be..."

"Don't worry too much, Hedong has its own Zhang Liao and Gao Ran guards!" As soon as Ma Zongheng's voice fell, Pang De led a hundred horsemen to arrive, only to see that he was covered in blood, and there were many generals who died under his red lion chasing star halberd.

"Lord, why don't I go first!?"

When he heard this, he was afraid that Ma Zongheng, who was so angry, would act rashly, and hurriedly said: "If the lord wants to go in a hurry, it is better for me to teach the cavalry in the army to go together, so as not to happen." ”

Ma Zongheng thought for a while, bowed his head a little, turned his head to look at Pang De, and said: "Red Devil, you stay and gather the cavalry, prepare some rations, and then rush over, and the original hundred horsemen will go with me first!" ”

"Also, cut off the head of the general for me and teach someone to send it back to Yuan Shao!!" Ma Zongheng said, and without waiting for Pang De and Zhenggu to agree, he strangled the horse and quickly rushed away. Seeing this, the hundred horsemen behind Pound were busy catching up.

"Lord!! This!! Zheng Gu shouted, and seeing that Ma Zongheng had left, he hurriedly looked at Pang De.

Pang De sighed lightly, and his red face also showed a little worry, and said: "This matter is a long story, you quickly teach people to prepare the cavalry and rations first, and I will talk to you later!" ”

Two days later, it was said that Ma Zongheng first led a hundred cavalry to leave, and soon after Pang De led more than 1,000 cavalry also arrived, and after the two armies gathered together, after two days and two nights, sleepless day and night, finally returned to Dongjun.

Fortunately, as soon as Ma Zongheng returned to Dongjun, he encountered the deployment of Feiyu under his command, and learned that under Mount Tai that day, although Wang Ying's mother and son were attacked by Liu Dai's subordinates, they were fortunate to have dozens of Chikui desperately protecting each other. Ma Zongheng's father-in-law Wang Yue learned the news from the heavenly thorn as early as possible, and brought dozens of masters to rescue, just at the most critical juncture, arrived in time, in the melee, Wang Yue took the opportunity to escape into Mount Tai with Wang Ying's mother and son. In order to avoid the pursuers, the group went too deep into the mountain, and got lost on the way, and was able to escape not long ago, and now they have been sent back to Changyuan.

After hearing this, the terrifying evil aura in his body faded most of it, and the madness in his eyes weakened a little, and after sighing deeply, his face, which had been tight and cold, also relaxed slightly.

Immediately, Ma Zongheng heard that Liu Dai, after breaking through Puyang, had sent troops to attack Changyuan the day before yesterday, and now his general Xu Xi had led 8,000 soldiers and horses to take under Changyuan City, and trumpeted the disloyalty and injustice of the bridge and horses, and the joint rebellion, intending to shake the hearts of the people, make Changyuan civil strife, and then seek an opportunity to take it. Fortunately, Ma Zongheng's reputation in Changyuan is extremely high, and the people remember Ma Zongheng's kindness and are willing to live and die together with Ma Zongheng, and the Changyuan family is suppressed by Zhao Qiang, but they do not dare to rebel. However, among these families, there are many rats who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are willing to sell their masters for glory, and after a long time, I am afraid that Zhao Qiang will not be able to suppress it. For this reason, Zhao Qiang consulted with Wen Ping several times, and wanted to lead out a few wavering rats to kill chickens and monkeys, but the kind Wen Ping couldn't bear it, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary panic, so he rejected Zhao Qiang.

"When I get back to Changyuan, these rats will obey themselves. Go back first, and spread the word that within tonight, I will be able to lead my troops back!" Ma Zongheng's face was cold, and there was a bit of fierce light in his eyes, and those flying feather soldiers listened to it, and after receiving the order, they turned their horses and left.

"Lord, I'll be on the road for days, and the army is working hard, why don't you rest for a while?" Pound heard that Ma Zongheng only arrived at night, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the army was already tired and tired, and no matter how eager to go, even if people could survive, the horses might not be able to survive!

"Well, it's been a hard time for everyone. A little further east, there is a stream where we can rest. Ma Zongheng nodded, but he didn't continue to insist on hurrying, and when the soldiers heard this, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they really couldn't hold on.

Gradually, it was dusk, and at this moment in Changyuan City, it seemed to be calm on the surface, but secretly there was a sense of crisis that the mountain rain was coming.

"Giggle~~!! Wow, wow~~!! In the Changyuan County Ya, there was a burst of baby laughter.

"Hey! You kid is really funny, in the past two days, the dog thieves outside the city have been shouting and scolding every day, and the children in the city don't dare to cry, you are good, you are not afraid at all, and you are still laughing. Come, tell your grandfather and me, what's so funny? In the backyard of the county government, I saw that the dusk was shining obliquely on a middle-aged man who was holding a baby with one arm, and the middle-aged man's face was full of happy smiles.

"Dad, don't say it, do you remember that day we were attacked by those horse thieves, and the soldiers were in chaos, Yi'er didn't even cry, and when she saw Dad, when you were killing the enemy, you were still dancing, as if cheering for you! I look at him, I'm afraid he will be like his dead ghost dad when he grows up!! At this moment, a beautiful woman in a goose yellow dress with a beautiful appearance and a slender figure walked out of the room.

"Hey, Ying'er! Zongheng is your father-in-law, how can you scold him for being a dead ghost!? And you have to scold in front of Yi'er! It's all too pampered on weekdays, after all, you are a woman's family, don't be too presumptuous! ”

The beautiful fairy-like woman is Wang Ying, and the one-armed middle-aged man holding the child is Wang Yue.

At this time, seeing Wang Yue's eyes, he put on a strict father's appearance and taught Wang Ying a lesson. Wang Ying ignored it, but also glared at the phoenix eyes, and said, "That's not it!" Our mother and son almost died, and this dead ghost didn't come to a letter to greet him, and he knew how to lead the troops to fight all day long!! This conscienceless ghost!! ”

It turned out that when Ma Zongheng knew that Wang Ying had suffered so much back then, he had always felt very guilty about her, and he held her in the palm of his hand on weekdays to spoil her, as long as she frowned, he was afraid of wronging her.

Wang Yingzi is also happy to be like this, and she is becoming more and more presumptuous, just like Ma Zongheng said, to spoil her like a queen.

Of course, this is not a big deal for Ma Zongheng from later generations, and men who have wives in later generations abound.

However, in Wang Yue's eyes, this is a big deal, and after listening to Wang Ying's left and right sentences, the dead ghost scolded him, and immediately widened his eyes a little more, and shouted: "Okay, the big husband puts his career first, you don't understand it, but you dare to insult it, and you have to implement the family law first for your father!" ”

When Wang Ying heard this, she suddenly had a wit, and she couldn't help but blush, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so she immediately turned into a well-behaved rabbit and said, "Dad, don't be angry." I'm a mother, do you still have to enforce family law? ”

"Hmph, the son is not the fault of the father!" Wang Yue snorted coldly, looking stern, in fact, he thought about the time when he picked up the white and chubby little girl on his lap many years ago, spanked and implemented the family law, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little tenderness and love.

At this moment, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in the county office, Wang Ying's face was overjoyed, and soon he saw a tall figure, his heart trembled, and he was about to greet him.

"Mistress, great joy!! Not long ago, Fei Yu came to report that the lord had returned to the border of Dongjun this morning, and he would be able to return to Changyuan within tonight. Now that Fei Yu is spreading the news in the city, presumably those families who are interested in Liu Dai will not dare to act rashly!! But seeing Wen Ping's face full of excitement, he arched his hand with excitement and said. Wang Ying was still a little disappointed when she saw that it was Wen Pingben, and when she heard the news of Ma Zongheng, she couldn't help covering her mouth, tears of excitement flashed in her eyes.

In fact, Wang Ying also learned from the analysis of her father's mouth that compared to the situation in Changyuan, Hedong may be much worse. After all, Yuan Shao's generation is by no means comparable to Liu Dai. But Ma Zongheng was willing to let go of Hedong, which he had worked so hard to fight, and rushed back to Changyuan, Wang Ying knew that a large part of this was because of their mother and son!

Wang Yue listened, but it was very complicated, he asked himself, if he had changed him, he might still be in Hedong, in a dilemma, unable to make a choice. But his son-in-law had rushed back to Changyuan, and the speed and determination were so firm that he felt guilty!

"Giggle~! Wow~! Wow~! At this time, the little baby Ma Yi in Wang Yue's arms was also very happy, laughing, dancing with his hands, and clapping his little palms.

On the other side, outside the north gate of Changyuan, Xu Xi had just received the news that Ma Zongheng would return tonight from Xizuo, and he was horrified, and he hurriedly taught his generals to discuss in the tent.

"What the hell is going on, the Ma family has a huge Hedong County, but it is only to save this small Changyuan County!" And didn't Wang Qiu say that Yuan had already laid an ambush in Hanoi, and if the Ma family came here, wouldn't he just meet him? How could he be allowed to return to Dongjun so lightly!? ”

"Hmph, I think this is most likely a suspicious plan that Wen Zhongye came up with, deliberately trying to make our position chaotic, so he didn't dare to attack Changyuan, and even intended to scare us away!" He also underestimated me too much!! ”

"Speaking of which, I heard that many families in Changyuan have been interested in investing in recent days, thinking that Wen Zhongye can't be suppressed, and he doesn't dare to kill in vain, which makes people panic, so he came up with this trick!!"

Xu Xi's face was gloomy, listening to the generals talking about it, and suddenly there was a sudden sound of 'pop', and the generals immediately stopped their mouths and looked at Xu Xi.

"It turned out that Wen Zhongye wanted to use a suspicious tactic, then I will do the opposite, pass my order, before dusk, start cooking on the stove, and start attacking Changyuan at the beginning of tonight, I want to see how Wen Zhongye takes it!" Xu Xi's eyes showed a burst of essence, and what the generals said seemed to be exactly what he wanted. As soon as these words came out, all the generals were shocked, and they all shouted and took orders.

The sky was getting dark, and on the other side was in Changyuan City, Wen Ping learned that the enemy army in the north of the city began to cook before dusk, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he was busy adding soldiers and horses in the north of the city, just in case.

When Xu Xi heard this, he was overjoyed, and even believed that Wen Ping's suspicious plan was a soldier, so he waited until night and immediately launched an order to attack Changyuan.

Knock knock~~!! The moment the drums sounded, only the fire flashed in the north of the city, and I saw groups of infantry carrying various siege weapons such as rushing vehicles and ladder vehicles, surging forward. Wen Ping also felt that the atmosphere was not good, so he waited in the north of the city, and then saw that the enemy soldiers suddenly changed their normality, and they were attacking fiercely, but they were not flustered, and shouted loudly: "The crossbowmen are ready quickly, and the soldiers listen to the order, beware of the enemy's rush, but when they attack the city, they immediately attack with falling rocks and rolling wood!" ”

As soon as the order was heard, the generals immediately received their orders. At this moment, there was a sudden cheer from the rear, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly shaken. Wen Ping was slightly stunned, looked back, and saw Hu Che'er coming out surrounded by dozens of soldiers, and said with a bright smile on his face: "Okay, you Wen Zhongye, Changyuan City is at the moment of life and death, how long do you have to hide it from me!" ”

It turned out that after Hu Che'er was seriously injured in Hengwukou, he was temporarily saved by Hua Yang's first aid, but he could not continue to march and fight. So, Ma Zongheng taught someone to send him back to Changyuan to recuperate. And these days, Wen Ping did not want Hu Che'er to worry about the war, and also specially instructed his subordinates, if Hu Che'er asked, he said that now the enemy is facing off with his own army outside the city, and he does not dare to attack lightly and conceal the troubles in the city.
