As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Cheng Yu couldn't help but change color slightly, only then did he know that Ma and Guo had already discussed. But I also have to admire Guo Jia's chic, and he actually arranged his aftermath early.

"Your Majesty is worried, and if you offend the spirit of the military general in the sky, you are willing to be punished." Cheng Yu then knelt down and said in a condensed voice, expressing his respect and apologies to Guo Jia.

"Hehe, Zhongde is dedicated to the Lord, what is the crime, get up." Ma Zongheng smiled lightly, and then he got up.

So, the reward came to an end for the time being, Ma Zongheng had already slaughtered cattle and sheep, prepared fine wine, and the banquet soon began. Soon, as the music sounded, one by one the graceful dancers walked in, and the good wine and food were immediately served. After the horses in the hall and the civil and military forces under his command drank three times in a row, the banquet officially began.

In addition, the men and horses stationed in Yecheng City, in addition to the patrolling troops, the rest of the people also began to celebrate, drinking and eating meat, talking about the fierce battles a few days ago, but whenever it is mentioned that when the horses charge into battle, kill the enemy generals, just like chopping melons and vegetables, they are all very happy, and drink a lot!

But it was said that at the same time that Ma Zongheng conquered Yecheng and forced Yuan Shang to flee with a remnant of wolves.

But looking at the situation in Qingzhou, it is said that Kong Rong learned that he was deceived by Chen Deng that day, and heard that Gao Ran was about to return, and in order to protect his reputation, he hanged himself. When the Kong family found out, Chen Deng had already left the Confucian Mansion, and had already arranged for the Chen family to buy some ruffians and hooligans in the city with money, and spread it around, saying that Gao Ran was cruel and unkind, and seeing that Guan Yu was powerful, he wanted to collect Qingzhou's money and escape, Kong Rong tried his best to stop him, but he was persecuted by Gao Lan's henchmen, and hanged himself in desperation.

Gao Ran found out that Kong Rong was dead, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul and didn't react, the scolding outside the Confucian Mansion started, and many diners in the Kong family (Kong Rong was hospitable and took in many skilled diners) each raised their swords and killed them angrily. Gao Ran was taken aback, at this time his military department broke in, saying that the people in the city heard that he was going to rob Qingzhou's money and flee, and forced Kong Rong, the great Confucian sage, to death, they were all angry and rebelled, and now the military department in the city can hardly suppress it. When Gao Ran heard this, he was so frightened that he almost jumped out, and hurriedly led a group of troops to deploy and escaped through the back door. At that time, the Kong family's diners were killed one after another, and several of them were particularly powerful, and even Gao Ran was injured before they were killed. Who knows, when Gao Ran led the deployment and fled to the back door, the people didn't know where they learned that Gao Ran would look at the back door to escape, and they had already blocked it. In a hurry, Gao Ran could only order the soldiers to forcibly break a road to escape, so many people were injured. Gao Ran is like this, which naturally arouses public resentment, and hundreds of people shout and kill angrily. Gao Ran and his soldiers were like rats crossing the street, and after several turns, they escaped back to the state capital under the rescue of the military headquarters who rushed to the rescue. When the people saw Gao Ran's deployment and lit up their weapons, they were all fierce, after all, they were all ordinary people, and now they saw it, but they were afraid that Gao Ran would have a grudge, so they hurriedly fled for their lives.

Gao Ran returned to the mansion and was shocked, so he hurriedly discussed with his subordinates how to act. At present, there is a strong enemy outside Qingzhou, and there is turmoil inside, and the danger is extremely critical, and I am afraid that it will be a dead end. Gao Ran saw that the people in the city were very angry, but he didn't dare to go out lightly, so he had to increase the number of troops in the state capital, and stayed inside day and night to think about strategies. The next day, Gao Ran just learned that Tao Qian had sent troops from Xuzhou and was coming to Pingshou, and I was afraid that in less than two days, he would be able to kill Pingshou. When Gao Ran heard this, he was even more worried, and wanted to abandon the city and flee to protect his troops first, but he was afraid that Ma Zongheng would punish him, so he hesitated.

And so the day passed again. That night, Gao Ran was haggard, and the emergency situation for days was about to drive him crazy, and he saw that his temples were now gray, and he sighed.

At this moment, suddenly a soldier rushed in with excitement and shouted: "Report~!" Report~~! General, the lord has sent a letter~~!! ”

When Gao Ran heard this, he thought of Ma Zongheng's furious appearance when he learned about the current situation in Qingzhou, and he was subconsciously timid at first, but soon thought that his master had always had a lot of plans, and there was no shortage of scheming talents around him, so he cheered up and was busy taking the letter to take a look. As soon as the letter was opened, Gao Ran looked at it anxiously, and after a while, his face, which was anxious and haggard, instantly had brilliance, and he shouted excitedly: "Hahahaha~~!! This time, I can be regarded as having escaped a catastrophe~~!! ”

Therefore, Gao Ran quickly ordered his soldiers to pack up that night and bring all the valuable treasures in the state capital, just at the fifth watch. Gao Ran took advantage of the darkness to lead his troops out of the city. And the cunning Gao Ran didn't stop doing it, and came up with a plan, and even sent some light horsemen to the city to spread the legend.

Soon after, the people in the city heard that Gao ran away from the property in Pingshou Castle and fled, but because he was in a hurry to escape, he only took part of the treasure with him. Now there are no soldiers and horses in the city!!

In an instant, the people of Pingshou seemed to have fallen into madness, and rushed out of their homes one after another, looking at the state capital one after another, seeing the situation, they all wanted to get a piece of the pie before Pingshou City fell into the hands of other princes.

Seeing that all the streets in the city were congested with people, in a certain restaurant in Pingshou City, a shopkeeper timidly walked to the position close to the pavilion: "This objective, my shopkeeper said that it was going to close." I don't know if it's objective..."

Before the little boy finished speaking, a burly man immediately glared at him and shouted: "My master hasn't drunk yet, and it's daylight, what are you doing!?" ”

The big man's shouting was amazing, and when the shopkeeper heard it, he was so frightened that his courage was about to break, and he hurriedly promised to confess, and under the big man's shouting, he pulled his legs and fled.

"Hmph, these fools, now everyone has gone to the state capital to rob the treasure, and even our iron rooster shopkeeper has left the store and gone early. Master is also going to try his luck, so he is too lazy to serve you!! The shopkeeper had a twist of thought, and immediately rushed down the stairs in a hurry.

"Young master, the entire Pingshou City is in chaos right now. That Gao Ran was really cunning, and he was afraid that he didn't want to give Pingshou City to us and other Xuzhou troops in vain, so he deliberately instigated the people to rob the money and grain in the state capital. In this way, by the time the Xuzhou army arrives, I am afraid that the state capital will have already been looted. And Tao Qian, a good old man, has always been benevolent, and he will never do anything to rob the people. How good is that? The burly man who had just drunk the second child of the shop frowned and said to a handsome man who was sitting on a stool and watching the wine outside.

This person is the real murderer who left Kong's house not long ago and forced Kong Rong to death - Chen Deng.

"Hehe, it seems that this Gao Yan is not an ordinary person, this counterattack can be described as very beautiful." Chen Deng said lightly, with a bright smile on his lips.

"There is also a lot of money in Pingshou City, but the young master doesn't seem to be distressed at all." Seeing that Chen Deng was so free and easy, the burly man couldn't help but ask suspiciously. Chen Deng smiled and said: "It is very rare for the lord to be able to take Qingzhou without blood this time, and this person must know how to be satisfied." What's more, in the future, the lord still needs to appease the people, give some benefits to these people, and do things. ”

After saying that, Chen Deng drank all the wine in the wine glass in his hand, put down a piece of silver, and stood up.

"Where are you going, young master?"

"Hehe, the lord will be here soon, I'll go and prepare so that I can meet the lord." Chen Deng smiled slightly, and the burly man showed an expression of great admiration, and then left with Chen Deng.

It was noon. At this time, the entire Pingshou City was still in chaos, and when a group of people found that a large army was coming outside the city, the east gate had already been taken by some ruffians and hooligans. It turned out that Chen Deng not only paid a lot of money, but also promised to give these ruffians important military positions in the Xuzhou Army. These ruffians were overjoyed, and they all thought that they had finally survived the day.

Presumably, Gao Ran would never have imagined that Pingshou City, where he was sitting, would eventually be taken by a group of ruffians and hooligans and dedicated to the Xuzhou army.

Sometimes, things are so unpredictable.

At this time, Chen Deng was standing in the enemy building, and saw that there was a group of men and horses in the army who were rushing over, and it was a group of Xuzhou soldiers who were surrounding Tao Qian and rushed over. Seeing this, Chen Deng couldn't help but be shocked, so he went to the city with more than a dozen Chen family entourages to wait.

After a while, I saw a veteran wearing a purple robe and armor with a neat white beard on his jaw riding a horse, and after seeing Chen Deng, he couldn't help but restrain his horse, holding the white beard and laughing: "Hahaha~~!! Yuan Long really did not disappoint the old man, and now our army took this Pingshou, and it didn't even cost a single soldier! Yuan Long really deserves to be the first wise man under the old man. ”

"Hehe, this first wise man, he dared to touch it a few years ago. But since the arrival of the adult, Deng did not dare to have any more extravagant hopes. Please don't make fun of me. Chen Deng bowed with a somewhat uninhibited smile.

Tao Qian heard this, and laughed heartily again: "I think you are not on par with the military advisor." But if it weren't for the Qingzhou mention he proposed to send troops this time, maybe the old man would still be hesitant. By the way, Yuan Long has ever contacted Uncle Liu's brother-in-law, Guan Yunchang? The old man has taken a peaceful life now, just wait for Uncle Liu Huang to come over and discuss big things with him!! ”

When Chen Deng heard this, he couldn't help but change darkly, but in an instant, he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old master, I have explained the benefits and disadvantages to General Guan before, and the old lord's sincerity to let Xuzhou intentions." Presumably, once Uncle Liu Huang learns about it, he will do his best to deal with the affairs of Youzhou and rush to discuss with the lord! ”

"Hahaha, that's good, that's good!" When Tao Qian heard this, he seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, laughed, and said: "Tao has been favored by the imperial court all his life, if there is no favor from the Han family and the attention of the previous emperors, how can he have today's glory?" ”
