The Gou clan land is built by the Gou clan for nearly a hundred years and generations, it can be said that it is the largest old clan building in Jianyang, just Zhuangzi is the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, and the surrounding hundreds of miles are the territory of the Gou clan, there are ancestral tombs, hunting grounds and self-sufficient fields, but after a fire of the bandits, nothing is gone, leaving a pile of ruins.

Most of the people of the Gou clan died in battle, and the number one old clan in the past in Thorn Yang disappeared in the long river of history.

And the initiator of the Ma clan water bandits is in a hurry in the heart of Jianyang City, worried that the official army of Shuyang will come over, after all, the Jianyang Mansion is not even as good as the Gou clan's land, and there is no high city wall, I am afraid that as long as it fights, it will fall.

Ge Bao and Ma Dalong fled back and forth, and with the large group of people and horses moving from Gou's territory to Jianyang Mansion, they were confused along the way, but the bandit leader Ma Bo did not intend to give up pursuing the two defeats, no, as soon as he stopped in Jianyang Mansion, Ma Bo summoned people to the official office of Jianyang Mansion.

"Okay, good, Ge Bao, my father thought that you studied under a famous family, and you were the captain of Xiao Chang'anju, so relieved to hand over the people under your command to you, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, you lost all your old books to me!"

Ma Bo shouted loudly, and Ma Zhong on the side was silent when he looked at this scene, there was no look on his face, but there was a trace of inexplicable brilliance in his eyes that were difficult to find.

Ma Dalong also knelt down beside Ge Bao, and pleaded guilty together: "I also have a part in these battles, and I can't let Brother Leopard bear it alone!" ”

Ma Bo kicked Ma Dalong's chest, and said in his mouth: "Your business, Lao Tzu will look for you later!" ”

Ma Dalong rubbed his chest, and the remaining arrow wound on his shoulder was faintly painful, which suddenly made him crack open the wound, and he bared his teeth and cried out in pain.

Ma Bo didn't look at him, but looked at Ge Bao, usually Ma Bo still loves this righteous son very much, capable and obedient, but these are not enough Ge Bao fought twice before and after, completely defeated in the hands of the official army of Shuyang, and also compensated for the crime of the old man.

In these two battles, the rebel army once reached 10,000 people, swept through Xiaochang'anju and Jianyang, and even the surrounding Anzhong, Shuyang, Miyang and Wuyin were affected, but these two battles lost 7,000 people before and after the bandit army, and all the young and strong people in the rebel army were lost.

What touches Mabo's bottom line even more is that in these two battles, there are more than 100 of the more than 600 Ma clansmen who brought Ma Bo out in Shuishui, and most of them are old and weak.

How can Ma Bo endure it? In fact, most of the Ma clan members were brought out by Ma Dalong, but this account was calculated by Ma Bo intentionally or unintentionally on Ge Bao's head.

"The leopard underestimated the enemy this time, resulting in a great defeat for our army, and I am willing to be punished by my father-in-law!" Ge Bao did not have any defense, and directly confessed to Ma Bo.

Ma Bo is kick at Ge Leopard, the force of this kick is much greater than that of Ma Dalong, there is no force at all, Ge Leopard is hard to bear, without saying a word.

"Big brother, that's enough!" Ma Zhong stood up and dissuaded Ma Bodao.

Ma Bo was in a hurry, and said to Ma Zhong: "Second brother, don't worry about this matter, I will teach this unfilial son a lesson!" ”

Ma Zhong stopped Ma Bo and said: "Big brother, even if you kill the leopard now, you can't recover the loss, and the officials and soldiers outside will still fight you." ”

Ma Zhong's words that hit the pros and cons calmed down the angry Ma Bo, and then looked around for a while before he slowly spoke: "Second brother, what do you say next?" ”

"What should I do?" Hearing this, Ma Zhong smiled, then looked at Ge Bao, and said, "This leopard knows this better than me, or let him say it, I'm old, and my brain is not clear......"

Hearing this, Ma Bocai looked at Ge Bao, and said angrily: "Then you can tell me what to do next!" ”

Ge Bao raised his head and glanced at Ma Zhong before he said, "Now I can only retreat to Fangcheng Mountain!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Bo raised the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly and said, "Retreat to Fangcheng Mountain?" Hum! How can it be so easy, the original three hundred horses in your hands are now folded in the hands of the officials and soldiers, I'm afraid that the officials and the army will not let you go like this! ”

Ma Zhong looked at Ge Bao and said to Ma Bo: "Big brother, since Leopard has said it, he must have his own ideas, you listen carefully!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Bo didn't speak, looked at Ge Bao, or Ma Zhong said to Ge Bao: "Leopard, you continue." ”

Only then did Ge Bao speak: "Now there are more than a hundred horses in the Thorn Yang Mansion, for today's plan, I can only pick out some people to retreat to Fangcheng Mountain and go to the Koreans!" ”

Ma Zhong squinted, looked at Ge Bao, and asked with a stiff face, "You mean to let some people ride these horses first, and the rest of them will be abandoned?" ”

Ge Bao nodded.

But he didn't expect Ma Dahu on the side to say: "Brother Leopard, do you know what you're talking about!" Those horses are not enough for the people of the water, you mean to abandon them?! ”

Ge Bao didn't reply, but looked at Ma Bo, whether this matter can be agreed or not, it is completely up to Ma Bo to agree.

"It's really a wolf cub...... Ma Zhong looked at Ge Bao and said, then looked back at his eldest brother Ma Bo, and said softly: "Big brother, if you do this, I just need two horses, and I ...... two people with Dahu."

Ma Bo turned his head to look at Ma Zhong, very surprised, and then asked, "Just two people?" Then you don't want the clansmen you brought out of Shuyang City with great difficulty? ”

Ma Zhong replied: "It's hard to protect yourself, I will arrange for them, take some money and food, and fend for themselves, don't you say that the south is not quiet now, so it's better to let them pretend to be refugees and find a place to live in peace than to follow us......"

Ma Bo squinted his eyes, carefully thinking about the feasibility of this Ma Zhong's plan, Ge Bao also said directly: "If you want to defect to the Koreans, you naturally need some foundation, and I want to take some people with the front army, and I only need ten horses." ”

Ma Dalong looked at the atmosphere in the arena and gradually leaned towards Brother Leopard's idea, and also frowned and said: "That's it, Dad, let's take the two of us on the same horse, so that the horses are enough!" ”

"No!" Ge Bao directly refused, and then looked at Ma Bo and said: "In addition to people, we also have to take away some treasures, these things are our foundation for making a fortune with the Koreans, but more is indispensable, so in addition to riding people, each horse also needs to bring a large number of treasures!" ”

"Brother Leopard, you are going to send the clansmen to death, they have followed their father for so many years, and they will have a good end if they are caught by the official army!! Ma Dalong also almost roared out this sentence, since he grew up in Shuishui, Ma Dalong has a deep affection for these people.

Ge Bao didn't want to make a useless defense with Ma Dalong at this time, the decision on this matter was in Ma Bo's hands, Ge Bao only thought about how to persuade this father-in-law: "Father-in-law! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! We started a family with the Koreans, are we still afraid that the clansmen will suffer in Wuguo, take these clansmen into Fangcheng Mountain, I'm afraid that most of them can't even go out of Fangcheng Mountain, but when we get to Fangcheng Mountain, everyone has to carry dozens of catties or even nearly a hundred catties of things over the mountains and mountains, how many people in the clan can do it? If we can't get out of Fangcheng Mountain, those clansmen will die in vain! ”

"Father-in-law, Leopard promised you that he went to the territory of the Han people, and Leopard studied the military books diligently and trained an elite soldier, so as to avenge the deep revenge of the Ma clan to Wuguo!"

"Father-in-law, if you don't make a decision, the official army will attack the city of Jianyang Mansion!!"

Ge Bao's urging again and again was not as good as Ma Bo's words that valued his second brother.

Ma Bo looked at Ma Zhong and asked for his opinion with his eyes, and Ma Zhong naturally nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ge Bao's meaning.

Ma Bo looked at Ge Bao and said slowly: "Get up, go down and prepare for this matter......

Ge Baocai stood up, then turned around and left, preparing to evacuate, and when he left, he didn't forget to tell Ma Bo: "Please also ask my father-in-law to select a suitable clan to take away, and the rest of the people, I will arrange them according to the second uncle's wishes......"

Ma Bo was silent, but after Ge Bao left, he saw Ma Bo slam the table fiercely: "I knew that this Lao Shizi had a lot of things, and Lao Tzu took people to sleep on the water to be a water bandit, which is much better than this!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Zhong looked at Ge Leopard, whose back was gradually disappearing, and said slowly: "What a wolf cub...... But wolf cubs don't eat wolf meat......"

Ma Zhong did not hide his words and whispered them, and when Ma Bo heard this, he also looked at the departing Ge Leopard, his eyes changed for a while, and finally turned into a thick color of jealousy and returned to the bottom of his eyes.

As soon as Ge Bao returned to the front military camp, he saw Qiang Yuan leaning against the wall alone, and Ge Bao asked, "Is the leg injury better?" ”

Qiang Yuan turned around, and before knowing when Ge Bao was already standing behind him, he replied, "It's better......

"Maybe gone?"

Qiang Yuan replied: "Yes, but I'm afraid it won't work out after a long time......"

"Pack up, call all the brothers who are not injured, and retreat tonight......" Ge Bao said slowly.

Hearing this, Qiang Yuan frowned and replied: "Big brother, the front army is already like this, there are not many brothers left, and they can't fight any battles anymore, now I'm afraid it's difficult to move by myself, and there are only a few people who are finished, I'm afraid I can't break the back!" ”

Ge Bao shook his head, and then glanced at it for a week before saying to Qiang Yuan: "It's not to let the brothers break off, but to let you retreat with some people...... Evacuate to Fangcheng Mountain. ”

"Fang Cheng Mountain?" After carefully reviewing it, Qiang Yuan understood Ge Bao's meaning, and immediately said angrily: "You are going to throw the injured brothers to the officers and soldiers!! ”

Ge Bao covered Qiang Yuan's mouth and nose, for fear that the voice would be too loud and would be known by others, so he suddenly widened his eyes and said to Qiang Yuan in a low voice: "Do you think I don't want to take my brothers out!" But in this environment now, how do you let me take it, I can only take away the brothers who can survive, and for the rest, I will let people take care of them, and when the officers and soldiers pass, they will return to their hometowns, and I will give them a sum of money and food, even if they are a waste person after returning to their hometowns, they don't have to worry about livelihood for the rest of their lives! ”

Qiang Yuan sneered: "The four brothers you said this last time are now buried in the ground, and their blood is not cold yet!" ”

Ge Bao closed his eyes, and then did not look at Qiang Yuan and said: "If you are willing to let a few brothers live, bring them to me before evening, if you don't want to, leave them and the injured brothers to the officers and soldiers!" ”

After speaking, Ge Bao turned around and left, looking at the back of Ge Bao leaving, Qiang Yuan finally looked around at the brothers who were wailing because of their injuries, and sighed heavily.
