During this period of time, Ma Bo has become more and more admired for his second brother, and it is really hard to imagine that his second brother has been in Shuyang City for so many years, and his means will be so powerful, relying on the five or six hundred people of the original Shuishui bandits, and now he has actually pulled out an army of more than three thousand people, including more than a thousand regular armed forces of the martial arts.

Since the capture of Xiao Chang'anju on the fifth day of the eighth month, Ma Bo's fear of the Wuguo court in the past has gradually disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, as his second brother said, he has started thinking about Wancheng, the capital of Wuguo, which is less than a hundred miles away in the north.

Especially in the past few days, because of the opening of the warehouse in Xiaochang'an, Ma's quickly accumulated thousands of people and horses in just a few days, and they responded for a while.

The old lady Ma was originally named Ma Zhong, Uncle Ji, and has always been a common word for ordinary people to choose names.

"Second Uncle Long'er, what should I do with so many people under my hands next, it is impossible to stay here all the time, and there is not much food......" Ma Bo said, and there was no worry in his words.

Ma Zhong has experienced the pain of losing his son, and he has lost the spirit of the year, and even the whole person is not as pampered as he was in the city of Shuyang, on the contrary, his temperament is becoming more and more gloomy: "Next, take people down Nanxiao Ju and coerce Wancheng!" ”

"I'm afraid not, even if Nan Xiaoju can take it down, but Wancheng City has thick walls, and it can't be taken down anymore, if the imperial court is forced in a hurry, I'm afraid that there will be a large army to encircle and suppress us." Mabo worried.

"Besides, the people under my hands want to take down Thorn Yang!" Mabo added.

Thorn ......

Ma Zhong also had a gloomy look in his eyes, and said, "These people are nothing more than the benefits they have gained in Thorn Yang Faqiu during this time,"

Ma Bo added: "We also lack these things, you ask, how many of these people under our hands are from Thorn Yang, and they are all angry with those who are officials!" Those who were expelled from their hometowns by these official families back then, who doesn't want to go back and report for a breath! ”

Ma Zhong sneered: "Without those who are officials, how can we gather so many people to make trouble, and they deserve it!" ”

"I think you were happy in Shuyang City at the beginning, and you did it like this......", Ma Bo also shook his head and said: "Second Uncle Long'er, we are old, and we don't do things as well as Long'er and their generation, I have to admit it!" It's up to them to call the shots. ”

Hearing Ma Bo say this, Ma Zhong, the old lady Ma who used to be dominating at the Huaiyang Wharf, sighed and finally agreed.

The second-generation characters of the Ma family, Ma Dalong, Ma Dahu and Ge Bao, the former Xiaochang'an Juduwei, are all in the Xiaochang'an Juguan Mansion.

When he saw Ma Bo and Ma Zhong walking in, he also said: "Father (uncle, father-in-law), second uncle (father)." ”

Ma Bo nodded and asked, "What eyebrows have come out of the discussion?" ”

Ge Bao replied to Ma Bo: "Father-in-law, we can't delay it now, if we wait for the imperial court to react and send a large army, we will be surrounded, and it is not appropriate to retreat back to the water......"

Ge Bao is Ma Bo's righteous son over the years, and it is precisely this relationship that Ge Bao will open the city gate of Xiao Chang'an Ju and release the bandit army in Shuishui.

Ma Dalong laughed and said, "Hehe...... Dad, the brothers now want to go to Thorn Sun. ”

Ma Bo also looked at Ge Leopard, now in the second generation, the outstanding and responsible, but Ma Dalong, Ma Dahu and this Ge Leopard, Ma Dalong may be impulsive, Ma Dahu is also a little weak, only this Ge Leopard, compared to Ma Bo's mind.

Otherwise, Ge Bao would not have sat in the position of the captain of Xiao Chang'an Judu with the hole card of a bandit leader Yizi, after all, the water bandit is not an identity on the table.

Looking at the simple righteous father's inquiring gaze, Ge Bao also nodded and said: "I also agree with knocking down Thorn Yang, so that we can not only make up for some food, but also have something in our hands, don't we also have a little confidence!" Furthermore, father-in-law, you see, the east of Thorn Yang is Miyang, and in the east is Fangcheng Mountain, if one move fails, we have a way out, right? ”

Ma Dahu saw that Ge Bao agreed with his idea, but what he said was not in line with his own thoughts, and immediately said: ", after entering Fangcheng Mountain, we shouldn't be water bandits instead of bandits?" ”

Ge Bao said: "No, the old nest of the water can be stuffed with these thousands of people? And when he entered Fangcheng Mountain, he didn't want to be a bandit, but to join the Koreans! ”

"Koreans?"

Everyone present looked at Ge Bao, and they didn't expect this result.

However, under the gaze of everyone, Ge Bao still nodded and said: "The Wuguo Imperial Court has not reacted yet, otherwise any border army or regular army will be transferred, and it will be difficult for us to leave." ”

Ge Baoxiao's interests, Ma Bo nodded first: "Leopard's plan is feasible, Thorn Yang is rich, those big families want to control the local power of Thorn Yang, blindly limit the number of government troops, and now Thorn Yang must also have no soldiers to defend, and the wealth of those big families just happens to be cheap for us!" ”

Seeing Ma Bo say this, Ma Zhong also understood that it was difficult for him to stir up the foundation of Wuguo, and after taking Jianyang, he could just go south to Shuyang to loot, and the Wancheng prince who discredited the Ma clan was recruiting troops in Shuyang, maybe he could be caught so that Wuguo, the emperor, could taste the pain of losing his son!

Now is also a promise.

Ma Dahu saw that his father agreed with Ge Bao's statement, so he naturally agreed.

As for Ma Dalong, if he wanted to take down Thorn Yang, he naturally would not oppose it.

At present, several children of the second generation of the Ma family went out to rectify the people and prepare to take down Thornyang.

……

After Gou Wushu returned to Jianyang, he immediately contacted other old clans in the local area, preparing to strengthen the defense of Jianyang with Fuding tenants.

When it comes to their own foundations, how can these old clans not do their best?

In just three days, the Qingzhuang people of the old clans, as well as the tenants of the Fuding under their jurisdiction, quickly pulled up a temporary Thorn Yang Guard army of thousands of people after a batch of Taoyi armaments were transported from Wancheng.

A few days ago, the Thorn Yang Commander received news from the side of Shuyang, preparing to arrange for the civilians to retreat from Shuyang, and happened to encounter the news that Gou Wu had returned to Jianyang, and heard the news that the old clan had raised an army of thousands of people in just three days, which also slowed down the movement of the civilians to retreat from Shuyang.

However, the people who fled the famine brought the news of Xiao Chang'anju in Jianyang, and the bandits of Xiao Chang'anju had gathered at the border of Jianyang, and it seemed that they were going to fight Jianyang.

All of a sudden, the trend of civilians fleeing, which had been suppressed by the Thorn Sun Order, surged again.

Sure enough, on the ninth day of the eighth month, in the northwest of the territory of Thornyang, the bandits of Wu Yang began an attack on the old clan of Thornyang.
