0591 Sole Ruling County
"So, whether it's the imperial court or the Jiangdong Army. γLatest chapter reading. They all have an indifferent attitude towards this enclave. And for them, such a special place as Liyang has extraordinary value. β
Ma Zhong spoke carefully, and Ma Jian hesitated.
Obviously, Ma Zhong didn't decide casually with a pat on his head, but had mature thinking.
Ma Jian thought about it and still reluctantly persuaded, "Second brother, this is a place where our troublesome soldiers are involved. You can't make a hasty decision, let's discuss it with a few military candidates first. β
Ma Zhong is used to making decisions alone, but Ma Tan's advice is also reasonable.
This is no small matter.
Ma Zhong said bluntly, "Okay, since that's the case, let's do what we say." You immediately go and inform a few military marquis to come to my ship. I have big things to say. β
Then he turned to the excited Simon Daguan and said, "Steward Ximen, you find a place to anchor the ship and use a small boat to pick up a few soldiers." β
Seeing that Ma Zhong was going to push this matter strongly, Ximenda was still a little nervous, although he didn't know whether it would succeed or not.
He hurriedly summoned people to find a suitable place to dock and dropped anchor, and sent a ship with a messenger sent by Ma Tan to pick up the generals.
When all the soldiers saw that Ma Zhong's boat had stopped, they all took a small boat to gather with a strange face.
Even Bailichuan rushed over with a pale face.
Knowing that Bailichuan wanted to see Ma Zhong, the gentlemen on the ship asked him to bring Ma Zhong a "warm" greeting.
What Ma Zhong wants to discuss is not a secret.
Some people who arrived early inquired about Ma Tan, and Ma Jian also directly revealed some news.
So before anyone arrived, what Ma Zhong was going to do had already quarreled among the soldiers.
Many people wanted to discuss a few words with Ma Zhong, but unfortunately Ma Zhong waited until they were all together before they were willing to let them speak.
Cen Wolf was the last to rush over.
He didn't communicate with those people, so naturally he didn't know what was going on, and when he saw Ma Zhong and many soldiers waiting for him, he couldn't help but shout from afar, "What is the important matter of the lord, don't wait to go ashore." β
Ma Zhong didn't care either, and responded to him directly, which could be regarded as an explanation for everyone.
"Brothers, we have a little strength in our hands. It's not a way to be a prodigal army like this, even Pan Zhang's kid can eat in Jianchang, why can't we find a place to go? β
When Cen Wolf, who didn't know the inside story, heard it, he immediately became happy.
He cried out loudly, "Your lord, you should have done this a long time ago. What kind of goods is Pan Zhang, even he knows that ruling the county alone is the right way, and it is not a good idea for us to live like this. Besides, back then, we were struggling to eat, and we could barely feed 800 soldiers. But now, we have almost 3,000 soldiers. I don't know how much food and money is spent just by moving the army, even if we are selling and selling, it is not enough for us to fill our stomachs. β
Ma Zhong listened, this was exactly one of his heart problems.
Today's Relief Soldier is already a powerful fighting machine, and the material and financial resources consumed every time it is activated are huge. Wandering around like this is not a long-term solution.
Ma Zhong praised in his mouth, "That's good! Cen Wolf has some insight. I've called you here this time to rule the county alone. Truth be told, well, some of the brothers may already know. I've already fallen in love with a place, which is this Liyang Governor's Mansion! β
Cen Wolf didn't know the depth, and laughed when he heard it, "I'm just waiting for your words!" I'm the first to support! β
Bailichuan is a funny child, he grew up in the prodigal army, how much knowledge can he have.
Seeing that it was Ma Zhong's proposal, Cen Wolf agreed again, and naturally stood up and shouted, "I support the second one!" β
Ding Feng naturally didn't care, in the past, he still felt that Ma Zhong was a little indecisive and not ruthless enough. Recently, I found that my eldest brother is becoming more and more suitable for my own appetite.
He grinned, "Big brother has decided for himself, what do you want us to say?" β
Saying this, he casually glanced at the new military candidates, and the shock in his eyes was full of deterrence.
The soldiers are all warriors on the battlefield, and they have learned from each other not long after they came, and they have weighed more than two pounds.
The level of force of Cen Wolf and Bailichuan can still be seen, but one Ding Feng can beat the four of them at the same time, and it seems that there is still enough strength to spare.
If it weren't for Li Fei and Peng A's face, maybe there would have been a scene of Ding Feng beating all of them.
Those new military candidates were extremely entangled after listening to the speeches of the old soldiers.
The old soldiers almost blindly supported Ma Zhong's decision, which made it difficult for them to say anything more.
Fortunately, at this moment, someone jumped out, "I'm against it!" β
Everyone saw that it was the soldier who had joined the army.
Now, the new attached soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief, and it would be good if someone took the lead.
Ding Feng saw that it was Ma Jian who objected, but he didn't have the slightest arrogance just now, and there was only curiosity on his face.
Ma Tan is a military advisor to relieve troubles, and he is also Ma Zhong's sworn brother. If he is against both, then there must be a reason for him.
Ma Jian really stood up to expectations, and said loudly, "The reason for my opposition is very simple, that is, Liyang is a place with internal and external troubles, and it is not suitable to be a foundation at all. Needless to say, the people here are under the control of the powerful people, almost monolithic, needles cannot be pierced, and water cannot be splashed. Even the military might of the imperial court, they were not afraid. There is a saying that 'the people are not afraid of death, but why should they be afraid of death'. The people here are difficult to rule, and Haoqiang has an inextricable relationship with the imperial court and the Jiangdong army, in this case, how can we place our children in such a dangerous place? Which soldier can feel at ease? β
Ma Yan's words made Cen Wolf's face change greatly, he has a beautiful wife and concubine, a thin family wealth, and a hobby of luxury. How could he be at ease if he had his home in such a place?
Ma Zhong nodded slightly when he heard this, what Ma Tan said was the truth, and it was also the most difficult place.
The powerful clan that can survive in the gap between the imperial court and the Jiangdong Army must be extremely united. Such a clan relationship is difficult to break, unless Ma Zhong washes Liyang's blood aside and relocates people to resettle him, otherwise he must be in trouble.
At that time, Ma Zhong's situation will be like that of the Jiangdong Army, exhausted in suppressing rebellions everywhere, and there will be no chance to control the world anymore.
Ma Tan saw that Ma Zhong agreed with what he had just said.
Suddenly plucked up his courage and continued, "Then there is the external trouble. This land of the sun is the battlefield of the two families. In the past, it was just in the hands of local heroes, and both sides turned a blind eye. But if it falls into our hands, what Sun Jiang thinks, we won't say it for the time being. I am afraid that the army of the imperial court will come to conquer us and wipe us off the river. Now that the imperial court is temporarily using soldiers, there is nothing to see. When the court frees up its hands, I'm afraid it will come to fight first. β
