Chapter 159: The Beginning of the Thief

As the man elaborated bitterly, Ma Zongheng and other generals couldn't help but change color. Earlier, when everyone was in Jiguan, the wind they heard, this Chu Yan only gathered more than 10,000 thieves, and now it has grown to 100,000 thieves!

And Zhang Liao, who was next to Ma Zongheng, heard the sharp eyes flashing, and when he heard it, he shouted: "What is Fengtian money!?" ”

A thin man on the side hurriedly replied: "Those black mountain thieves told us and other people that they are doing the way of heaven, and we and other people should vigorously support and give some resources every month, so that the heavenly army can be strong, overthrow the Han family in the future, and create a great cause!" However, adults also know that over the years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have made it difficult for us and other people to protect themselves, where can they afford to pay this Fengtian money! But these black mountain thieves are all unscrupulous beasts, and they can't afford to pay, so they use the rice or cloth collected at home to arrive, and then there is something to rob, if the wife and daughter of the family look a little good, they will often be robbed by force! The little wife was robbed by the little leader of a black mountain thief a few days ago, and if she can't hand it over next month, the villain's twelve-year-old daughter may not be able to protect it~~! Adults call the shots for villains~~! "In the end, the thin man kowtows and worships. The others hurriedly shouted after the cry. Ma Zongheng and Zhang Liao hurriedly dismounted and helped the three of them up, and all three of them said that if they didn't agree, they would rather die. When Ma Zongheng saw that they were thin and weak, he was afraid that he would pull them hard, and even their arms would be torn off alive by himself, so he hurriedly said: "In broad daylight, there are such rampant villains who plague the people!" Don't worry, I'm here today to crusade against the Black Mountain thieves! ”

Ma Zongheng was shocked, and suddenly those people saw the dawn, and they were busy and thanking endlessly. When Gao Ran heard about it, he suddenly changed color, he thought that after Ma Zongheng heard that there were 100,000 thieves, he would definitely retreat timidly, where did he think that he would dare to boast of such a sea mouth!

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, he looked at Ma Zongheng, and said in a loud voice: "The lord is righteous, Wen Yuan is willing to serve the dead!" ”

The corners of Ma Zongheng's mouth curled, and Zhang Liao's eyes met, nodded slightly, and then comforted the people, and then helped them up one by one, and asked: "The thieves are so rampant, why doesn't the government send troops and horses to fight?" ”

"Now in troubled times, the government only cares about self-preservation, at the beginning, Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, took pity on the people, and sent troops to crusade several times. But that Zhang Yan was also brave, and there were many fierce generals under his command, and after the Jizhou army suffered repeated setbacks, the generals under Han Fu did not dare to go on the expedition again. Besides, the little one heard that Zhang Yan secretly had an agreement with a certain big family, so he secretly got shelter. Over time, the government did not dare to rashly send troops, and let it go! The middle-aged man who spoke first said again. Ma Zongheng was obedient, his face was cold, and he suddenly shouted: "Gao Ran, you get out of here!" ”

Gao Ran heard Ma Zongheng shouting, and his heart suddenly jumped, and after a little slackness, Hu Che'er rushed over angrily, so frightened that Gao Ran hurriedly responded and hurried away.

"Lord, I'm here!" Gao Ran hurriedly arrived, glanced at Hu Che'er, who was fierce and vicious, and hurriedly shouted.

"I heard that the Yuan family has moved most of the family business to Hebei a few years ago, you were once under the command of Yuan Benchu, and you were born in Hebei, let me ask you, can the big family be the Yuan family, and does Yuan Benchu have any dealings with that Zhang Yan!?" Ma Zongheng's eyes were fierce, and a terrifying momentum erupted all over his body, Gao Ran only felt frightened, although he had also doubted, after all, although Zhang Yan's thieves were arrogant, they would never attack the city and county where the Yuan family's business was located.

And under Ma Zongheng's impressive gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Gao Ran didn't dare to slack off, and said what he thought in his heart one by one, and finally added: "Or that Zhang Yan is afraid of offending the Yuan family and doesn't dare to offend, this is also maybe." I know that's all, and I don't deceive my lord. ”

"Humph!" Ma Zongheng snorted coldly, but he also understood that the Yuan family cared about reputation, such a thing as not seeing the light, I am afraid that there are few people who can know the real inside story, but after listening to Gao Ran's words, he also has a rough idea in his heart, so he is not embarrassed by Gao Ran, and orders him to retreat.

At this moment, suddenly, there were bursts of angry scolding and laughter in the northeast, followed by bursts of miserable screams and cries. The eldest middle-aged man's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said hurriedly: "The villain's village is not far away, this must be those black mountain thieves who have come to get Fengtian money again~!" ”

"Damn thief~~!! Zhong Ye, Lao Hu, you and the others led the infantry behind, and the others led the cavalry to follow me~~!! The horse roared through gritted teeth, and his eyes were full of wrath, and he slapped the horse and flew away. Generals Zhang Liao and Pang De also led their cavalry to quickly catch up.

When I was young, I saw a place that was originally beautiful and surrounded by greenery, and it seemed that it had only become a hell full of desolation. The village was full of fires, the villagers were running around, hiding everywhere, and the black mountain thieves with yellow scarves on their heads either rode their horses to kill people, or began to loot from house to house, and everywhere they looked, there were heinous evil things!

"Kill them all~~!!" At this moment, Ma Zongheng's eyes were almost shattered, and he was furious, and he just wanted to kill all these thieves.

As Ma Zongheng shouted, everyone responded violently, and the momentum shook the sky. All of them have the same outpouring of anger, the same urge to kill!

So, as the horse accelerated and galloped, Zhang Liao, Pang De and nearly 800 horsemen rushed down and killed on the mountain road.

The surging murderous aura instantly fell like a flood. When the black mountain thieves who were doing evil reacted, they saw the ghost-like horses and the group of soldiers and horses that looked like hungry and thirsty ghosts, all of them suddenly changed color with fear.

"Kill~~!!" With a roar, the horse swung his knife, and a skull suddenly burst, and blood and brains burst out together. Suddenly, as the horse rode all the way over, there was even a black mountain thief on the road, who was either stopped and hacked to death, or his head flew up or cracked, all of which were fierce and violent bloody pictures.

The bloody Pegasus horse is criss-crossed, as if it has become a ghost god who slaughters human life, and the grand momentum is coming!

"Quick!! Stop him~~!! The little leader of a black mountain thief saw it and was busy drinking, and there were seven or eight black mountain thieves on each side who hurriedly rushed out to kill. Ma Zongheng glared angrily, slashed hard, like chopping animals and beasts, but saw the violent dragon blade, like a fierce whirlwind, the dozen or so black mountain thieves were cut off and killed, their weak posture, under the divine power of Ma Zongheng and the indestructible dragon blade, like melons and vegetables broken tiles, a touch will be broken ~~!!

In just a while, Ma Zongheng killed dozens of thieves, and with the arrival of Zhang Liao and Pang De's troops, it was even more one-sided massacre. These evil Black Mountain thieves have also tried to be wantonly tortured and killed, and their lives are manipulated by other people's thoughts!

As a result, the original laughter and angry scolding of those black mountain thieves turned into a series of terrible screams, and now they are fleeing for their lives under the pursuit of the soldiers and horses under the command of Ma Zongheng. In order to escape for their lives, some Montenegrin thieves also killed many villagers who blocked their way. As a result, some of the more courageous people also began to rebel.

After a while, Wen Ping and Hu Che'er led their troops to kill and killed those fleeing Montenegrin winds again. Half an hour later, after the leader of the Black Mountain Bandits was shot by Ma Zongheng with a flying star bow, the team of 1,000 Black Mountain Thieves was almost wiped out, and only a few dozen people escaped in a thrilling way.

After the killing, there was a depressing dead silence, and a sobbing cry could be faintly heard. Ma Zongheng looked around, seeing that the eyes of those villagers were empty, and some of them were even more desperate, he couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted: "Villagers, don't be afraid, those black mountain thieves have their own to deal with, and soon after, you will be returned to the villagers on a peaceful day!" ”

Ma Zongheng shouted, and those villagers finally reacted, and they knelt down and cried bitterly to Ma Zongheng and other soldiers, and complained about the evil deeds of the Black Mountain thieves.

Ma Zongheng and a group of soldiers each appeased the people, until the night, the villagers gave up the houses in the north of the village to Ma Zongheng's troops to rest. The villagers were afraid that the horse team would soon leave, and the black mountain thieves would come back for revenge, so they all gave their families food stockpiles. Ma Zongheng knew that the villagers were poor, which was unacceptable to the soldiers, and he would rather starve and simply eat some rations. Seeing this, the villagers all praised Ma Zongheng and others for their benevolence and righteousness.

At night, in a slightly outlined courtyard at the end of the village, Ma Zongheng, Zhang Liao, Pang De and other soldiers were discussing with several respected villagers in the village.

"We and other untouchables have received such a great favor from the Grace Father, but we don't know the name of the Grace Father?" An old man with gray hair asked Ma Zongheng.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liao, Pang De and others couldn't help but change color slightly. Ma Zongheng's face sank, but he didn't hide it, and replied: "The old man doesn't have to be polite. I was originally a vanguard general under the command of the great general He Jin, but because I was slandered by traitors, I was not allowed to escape from the army and went to Yanzhou to temporarily avoid the limelight. He also heard that the remnants of the Yellow Turban were rampant, so he wanted to cut them down and make meritorious achievements, and he looked for a machine to wash away his grievances every day. ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's voice fell, all the villagers changed color, and some of them even looked at each other with a look of horror. The old man who asked was shocked: "Could the general be the little Fuboma?" ”

"Yes, too!" Ma Zongheng did not hide it, and replied with his head bowed. The old man hurriedly bowed: "I have heard the name of Xiao Fubo, and I will wait for the people of Yanzhou to be saved!" ”

Ma Zongheng was startled, and hurriedly helped the old man up, and said: "Now I am also wronged, I am afraid that I will soon become a traitor to the country, and I dare not accept such a big gift from the old man." I'm afraid that it will affect all the villagers and elders in the future. Don't worry, old man, after I find out the arrangements of the thieves around me and exterminate the thieves, I will leave! ”

"The general is benevolent and righteous, although we are poor and lowly, we also know how to repay our kindness. The general and all the heroes, even if you stay in the village! "The old man's name is Wu Chang, and he is the head of this village. Several other villagers, however, were also afraid that Ma Zongheng's army would leave, and there was no one to guard the village, so they were busy echoing it.

"In this way, I will bother you fellow villagers and elders." Ma Zongheng is not pretentious, he condensed and thanked him.

Wu Chang and the villagers talked with Ma Zongheng for a while, and learned that there was a change in Jiguan, and Dong Zhuo, the jackal tiger of Xiliang, was afraid that he had won a big victory, and he was rushing to Luoyang, all of them were worried, afraid that the world would change greatly, and it would be difficult to have peace in the future. Ma Zongheng also learned from Wu Chang and others that there were dozens of waves of thieves in the border area up to Dongjun, all of them were based on mountain passes, and they robbed houses and houses on weekdays, and did all kinds of evil. Qiao Mao was unable to support it alone, and now I heard that the black mountain bandit leaders in the Yanzhou area were in the tripartite forces of poison, white winding, and Zhenggu, and gathered tens of thousands of troops, and they wanted to besiege Dongjun and seize Dongjun as their basis. Wu Chang also said that Qiao Mao is very good, courteous and talented, and can go to take refuge in the horse. Ma Zongheng listened, and it was rare to make a decision. It wasn't until after the third watch that Wu Chang and others retired, and Ma Zongheng borrowed pen and ink from Wu Chang, but he was worried about his family in Tianshui and his own situation, so he explained his decision to crusade against the Montenegrin thieves in Yan and Hebei Prefectures, secretly accumulate forces, and wait for the opportunity.
