"Since Beigong Boyu responded to the Yellow Turban Taiping Road, Xiliang has been in turmoil for many years, many court officials have been killed, and many thieves have taken advantage of the chaos to grow their forces. Although this Zhang Qing has no great talent, he can dominate the fertile land of Nan'an, because of this. Now that Zhang Qing is dead, Nan'an will definitely be in chaos, why don't you take the opportunity to lead the troops to kill in the name of eliminating the remaining bandits, but if you take Nan'an as the foundation, great things can be done!! ”

Ma Zongheng was obedient, his face changed suddenly, and his heart was like a hot fire burning. However, Ma Zongheng was not an anxious person, his expression sank, and he said: "But now although our army has increased its strength, most of them are surrendered. But if Nan'an has no one else to intervene, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, these rabble are still somewhat useful, but if they encounter a strong enemy, I am afraid that they will escape from the battle, and even mutiny and rebellion!! ”

"Hehe, that so-called strong enemy, but Han Jiuquye!?"

"That's right. This person's city is profound and unfathomable, but if he sees Zhang Qing coming to violate Tianshui, how can he stand by and miss the opportunity? And once I fight with him in Nan'an, won't I fall in love with Dong Jackal Tiger again!? Ma Zongheng tilted his head a little heavier and said in a deep voice.

When Cheng Gongying heard this, he secretly admired in his heart, compared to ordinary people, I am afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation for a long time, although this horse is young, but he is really terrifyingly sophisticated. And don't forget, he has a high level of force that ordinary people can't imagine.

"That's what you're worried about. But because of this, Han Jiuqu would never dare to fight to the death with us. Although Han Jiuqu may have sent troops earlier, if our army can quickly raise troops and horses, in front of Han Jiuqu, capture the Dao and defend it. When Han Jiuqu came, he didn't dare to fight to the death with our army, and secondly, when the soldiers came from afar, the soldiers were tired, and finally had to withdraw and retreat. As long as you get the 獂道 and stabilize the situation, and then divide the troops of several cities near the 獂道 to defend it, Nan'an has taken seven or eight, and the rest of the cities and counties will make plans in the future. ”

Cheng Gongying's witty words were full of witty words, and he actually drew a blueprint for Ma Zongheng at the moment. And don't look at Cheng Gongying coming casually, he has thought it through, and looks at the location of Nan'an, but if Dong Zhuo raises troops to attack, he can be shielded by Tianshui, and it is quite far away from Jincheng, unless Han Sui pours his troops south, it will be foolproof.

For Ma Zongheng, this is an excellent foundation for the development of forces.

Ma Zongheng's face changed continuously, and he couldn't react for a while, and suddenly, he laughed loudly again: "Hahahahaha~~!! Fei Yu is really my Zhang Liangye!! The so-called opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, after tonight's celebration, tomorrow will immediately prepare to send troops to Nan'an!! ”

When Cheng Gongying heard this, his face was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Ma Zongheng, who had always been quite experienced and steady, would agree so lightly. This strong sense of trust couldn't help but make Cheng Gongying's heart hot, and he knelt down and bowed: "The lord praises the grace of this encounter, I Cheng Gongying will die hard, and I am willing to serve the great cause of the lord!" ”

Finally, Cheng Gongying still joined Ma Zongheng's command. When Ma Zongheng heard this, he danced excitedly, and was busy helping Cheng Gongying, and said happily: "I have to fly feathers, like a tiger with wings, why should I worry about the great cause of Ma Zongheng!?" ”

Martial arts and ambition, but thoughtful, sophisticated and steady. Cheng Gongying really can't help but start looking forward to how far this man can grow in the future!?

Is it a famous prince? Or is it the hero who shocks the world? Or is it the overlord who swept Kyushu?

Even, it may be the immortal emperor who founded the dynasty and reigned over the world!?

Of course, these thoughts are just thinking about it in Cheng Gongying's heart, after all, Ma Zongheng is now just a son who is not enough to worry about, and he can't even be called a small warlord.

So, that night, Ma Zongheng announced that Cheng Gongying had joined the command of the army, and served as the Sima of the other departments of the army, and also the post of staff officer. However, Jiang Yin, who has a steady personality, politely refused the invitation, and took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops to patrol to prevent chaos. Ma Zongheng listened to it and attached more importance to Jiang Yin, so he thought it was a confidant.

Celebrate the end of the night. After discussing with Cheng Gongying, Ma Zongheng decided that without further ado, he immediately sent Pang De as the vanguard, led 800 troops, and went to Nan'an to find out the enemy's situation. Later, Cheng Gongying built a new one, and ordered Jiang Jian to lead 2,000 infantry, followed closely behind, and escorted the baggage.

Ma Zongheng thought it was good, so he gave the order. Pang De and Jiang Jian got the order and prepared quickly that day. Pound prepared ten days' rations and led eight hundred light horsemen to go first.

However, it is said that among the 800 light cavalry of Pang De, 300 are old members of the army, and the other 500 are newly surrendered thief soldiers, and the Han, Qiang, and Hu tribes are mixed. Among them, 200 Han people were all Pound's original soldiers. Although Pang De is brave, but after all, he is young, except for the soldiers under his command, the rest of the Qiang and Hu people are secretly dissatisfied, but they are afraid of Pang De's courage and dare not attack.

On this day, Pound stepped up his journey all the way, and by night, the soldiers were tired. Many of the Qiang soldiers refused to move forward. When Pang De's soldiers came to report, when Pang De heard this, he immediately turned his horse back, threatening that whoever dared to delay the trip would be killed. When everyone heard this, they saw that Pang De was fierce and vicious, and dared to slack off, so they had to endure their grievances and hurriedly hurried again.

At night, the night was already thick, and there was a river blocking the road ahead. Pound consulted with the soldiers, and decided to rest first, and then cross the river tomorrow. So, the 800 soldiers were finally able to rest. Don't look at Pound De's young age, rough face, but his mind is meticulous, he found that there are many hidden grievances in the Qiang team, so he taught his two soldiers to gather the horses together, and then deliberately did not send people to guard, but ambushed beside him to see if the Qiang people had evil intentions.

Sure enough, there were a few Qiang people, and when they saw that Pound had gathered the horses in one place, but did not send anyone to guard them, they were overjoyed, and secretly discussed, and when the fifth watch came, everyone fell asleep, so they let the horses go and escaped while the chaos was in place. So they all agreed, and they all went to rest first.

Unconsciously, when it came to the fifth watch, the sky gradually revealed the color of the fish's belly, and I saw more than 100 Qiang people quietly looking at the resting place of the war horse and rushing to it, seeing that it was almost there. Suddenly, there was a shout on the uphill slope, and before the Qiang could react, many of them were killed by random arrows. Pound took the lead and led the troops to kill from the uphill slope, the Qiang people were in chaos, several big men rose up to fight hard, but one of them was hacked to death by Pound with a halberd first, and the other person just raised the knife, and was hit by Pound with a halberd and died on the spot. The other man saw that Pound was so fierce that he was so frightened that he ran away. Pound hurried to catch up, a halberd pierced his back, quickly pulled out, and met the Qiang people who pounced, killing seven or eight people in one burst. In an instant, Pang De deployed to kill, and those Qiang people who did evil died seven or eight in an instant, and the remaining dozen or so people quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

At this time, other resting teams came one after another, and saw that the Qiang people were dead all over the place. Pound, who was covered in blood, his messy hair was red with blood, and he had a red face, like a red ghost with fangs, and turned to everyone and shouted: "These people want to let go of the war horses and intend to rebel, but I have seen through them, and I will deal with them in accordance with military law, so you can have objections!? ”

Pound was fierce and vicious, shouting like thunder, everyone was frightened, and he was busy. The other Qiang people didn't dare to make a sound, and they were silent. As for the remaining dozen people, Pang De did not let go, and ordered to be beheaded one by one, and as the heads fell to the ground, everyone was frightened and had no heart to resist.

Afterwards, Pound told everyone to rest for an hour, and then hurried away.

On the other side, it is said that Yuwen Changyou led his subordinates to withdraw first, although some of the deployments were too late to take away, but at least they also saved most of them, and led more than 2,000 remnants to rush back to Qidao overnight to report to Zhang Qing's brother Zhang Hua. When Zhang Hua heard that Zhang Qing had been beheaded, he was furious and eager to raise troops to avenge his brother. Yuwen Tianyou was secretly happy when he heard this, and was about to explain the situation that there were not many enemy soldiers in Huangsha City, and persuaded Zhang Hua to send troops quickly. Suddenly, someone came to report that Han Sui sent his general Yan Xing to lead 3,000 troops to kill Nan'an, and now he has broken through the small city on the northwest border - Xiaowucheng.

Zhang Hua was shocked when he heard this, and even Yuwen Changyou, who had always been as stable as Mount Tai, changed his complexion greatly, and then he understood why Han Sui wanted him to drag Zhang Qing for a month, it turned out that he wanted to attack Nan'an!

"Although Zhang Qing is dead now, if I stay in the Badge Road, thinking that I am a spy, he will echo the black ghost inside and outside the day, and take the Badger Road, which is also a great achievement." Yuwen Changyou secretly said in his heart, so he persuaded Zhang Huamo to act rashly, but he could first defend the city to observe the situation. When Zhang Hua heard this, he was also at a loss for a while, and Yan Xing, who was as fierce as a ghost, was afraid in his heart, how dare he act lightly, that is, he listened to Yuwen Changyou's persuasion.

At the same time, Yuwen Changyou sent his henchmen to secretly inform Yan Xing, just in case.

On this day, Yuwen Changyou was just about to take a lunch break, took off his coat, and was going to bed. Suddenly, Yuwen Changyou's heart trembled, and he trembled all over.

At this moment, there was a shout of killing outside, followed by the sound of the concussion of the armor, as if a large number of soldiers were coming.

"Not good!! Could it be that Zhang Hua found out that I was a spy!? Yuwen Changyou's face changed greatly, he was busy putting on his armor and taking his weapon, and when he was about to jump out of the window, the door was slammed open. Zhang Hua saw that Yuwen Changyou was about to jump out of the window to escape, his face was fierce, and he scolded sharply: "What a Qiang dog!" On that day, when I saw that you fled back safe and sound, and that your armor was not damaged, but my eldest brother died under the enemy's blade, I thought you were suspicious!! Sure enough, I found out that you had an affair with Han Jiuqu's traitor!! Don't you feel ashamed that my eldest brother is so fond of you!? ”

When Yuwen Changyou heard this, he couldn't help but curse himself for being careless, and when he heard Zhang Hua shouting and releasing arrows, he hurriedly jumped out of the window, and after rolling a few laps, he jumped like an ape, came to a corner, and escaped from the dog hole.

At the same time, the other side is in Jicheng. Ma Teng's eyes opened slightly, his face was first discolored, and soon he returned to normal, deliberately revealing a deep color, and said, "Okay, you go down to receive the reward." ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled faintly, and after receiving the order, he retreated. Seeing Wang Xiaohu retreating, Ma Teng couldn't help but take a long breath, and said: "In a year, Xi'er has grown up to this point, and I almost can't believe that he is my son." Is it my father's blind eye, or do I not know Xi'er at all? It's just that... Huh..."

Just now, Ma Teng learned from Wang Xiaohu that Ma Zongheng once again made a jaw-dropping feat, and with thousands of soldiers, in the absence of baggage and weapons, he successfully broke through Huangsha City, not only killed Zhang Qing, a giant bandit in Nan'an, but also captured nearly five or six thousand thieves. What made Ma Teng even more shocked was that Ma Zongheng even realized that Zhang Qing's attack on Tianshui was mostly done by Dong Jackal, and now he was even more dangerous, wanting to seize the Dao before Han Sui.

And just what Ma Zongheng thought, coincided with Ma Tengzheng, before yesterday, he had prepared two soldiers and horses, one to rescue Huangsha City, and the other to attack Nan'an Dao.

It's just that now it seems that he is too underestimated Ma Zongheng's son, and Huangsha City doesn't need him to rescue him at all, and Ma Zongheng is also one step faster than him, and sent troops to Nan'an Dao.

An inexplicable sense of frustration suddenly rose in Ma Teng's heart, which made it difficult for Ma Teng to be happy for the growth of his children for a while.

What's more, the faster Ma Zongheng's power grew, the more powerful the apprehensive feeling in his heart became, making him more and more worried that one day their father and son would turn against each other because of their different aspirations.
