Chapter 558 Advance and retreat together, live and die together

"Bastard!"

Knowing Guo Zhanhun's whereabouts, Ma Wu was secretly annoyed, the east was the place where the Lin Xiao Legion was stationed, and Guo Zhanhun went east, not to inquire about the news. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update

According to his guess, Guo Zhanhun probably wanted the Yan army to surrender!

The two have been partners for seven or eight years, and they are very familiar with each other, Guo Zhanhun is a very powerful general under his command,

Under the repeated blows of the Yan army and the Chen and Song coalition forces, after the destruction of the Liang State, he still had a chance to escape and lead the remnants of the army to join the Zhao State, which is enough to prove Guo Zhanhun ability.

Today, Guo Zhanhun abandoned him, and in the Tiger Ben army, he completely became a lonely man, and he had no reliable generals.

However, Ma Wu did not get entangled in Guo Zhanhun's affairs, his interests were different, and parting ways was inevitable.

Moreover, he didn't have time to deal with Guo Zhanhun's whereabouts, Zhao Mu was ready to recall him back to Handan City, according to the envoy's previous attitude, this was no different from breaking into a wolf's den.

In order to seek self-protection, he will definitely not go to Handan City and throw himself into the net.

At present, he must master the Tiger Ben Army under his command as soon as possible, and the food problem will be an opportunity for him to master the Tiger Ben Army.

As long as the imperial court continues to refuse to send food, and he prepares food for the Tiger Army, the Tiger Army's mind may gradually turn to him.

For a while, Ma Wu repeatedly thought about how to prepare food to solve the urgent needs at hand, so as to turn the more than 70,000 tiger troops under his command into a force loyal to himself.

Handan City, court.

Zhao Mu waited anxiously, but instead of sending back the news of Ma Wudong's attack on Yan, he received a report from the spies who stayed by Ma Wu's side, and Ma Wu did not move, and for several days, there was no sign of attacking the Yan army.

And on his own initiative, he began to collect grain from the people in Qingyang County, secretly strengthening his strength.

"It's the other way around, it's all the other way around!" Zhao Mu drank loudly.

He believed Xu Wenhao's words and had illusions about Ma Wu, but now it seems that the other party resolutely colluded with Zhao Shide. If this person is not removed, heaven will not tolerate it.

Without hesitation, Zhao Mu said with a disgusted face: "Xu Wenhao, secretly write a letter to the spies around Ma Wu and bring Ma Wu's head back to Handan City." ”

This time, Xu Wenhao did not hesitate at all, he only felt that the evidence was ironclad, and there was no need for evidence to prove whether Ma Wu had colluded with Zhao Shide, because Ma Wu's private behavior of allowing the Tiger Ben Army to steal food was the best evidence.

Talking to himself and sighing: If this person is not removed, there will be endless troubles.

……

The whole army had no surplus food, and it could not defeat the Yan army to seize grain and grass, and it was also difficult to obtain grain through regular channels.

After racking his brains, Ma Wu did not come up with a suitable way to obtain food, so he could only inform the troops and connive at the officers and men of the whole army to lead the army to various parts of Qingyang County to snatch food from the unarmed people.

Perhaps after the spring ploughing, the people did not have much grain in their hands.

Perhaps, because of the war, many people in Qingyang County moved to the Song State and the Yan Kingdom, and the population decreased and the surplus food was insufficient.

However, no matter how little food the people have, it is better than the tiger army without a little food, so there are only three words in the whole army, grab! Rob! Rob!

At first, the Tiger Army refused to rob the people of their grain reserves, but when they were ruthless enough to rob the people of their food, the Tiger Ben Army ate and drank nonsense.

The hungry tiger army no longer needed to be patient, and all their previous worries were driven away by hunger, and one by one they became like wolves and tigers, and rode their horses to all parts of Qingyang County.

Within a few days, there was a bumper harvest, and although the food looted was still not enough for the Tiger Ben Army to hold on for a long time, it could solve the problem of food shortage in a short period of time.

However, the bottomless actions of the Tiger Ben Army have pushed the people who do not have a lot of stock to the point of dire straits, and the people can only live on wild vegetables after losing their stocks.

After the robbery, the chickens and dogs in Qingyang County were restless, and many ordinary people were hacked to death by the tiger army, and the houses were burned, and the situation was miserable.

In the past, with Li Munan's expedition to the north, the army that defended the country became bandits without humanity under the command of Ma Wu.

For a time, a large number of people who lost their grain stocks, their houses were destroyed, and their fertile fields were destroyed, and when they were helpless and could not survive, they dragged their families and took their hearts to go to the Yan army garrison.

According to the propaganda of the court, the Yan army was brutal, bloody, and a beast that could not penetrate people's bones.

Therefore, the people of Qingyang County, after the Yan army attacked, had a high degree of defense against the Yan army, and strived not to contact the Yan army and not let the Yan army advance.

However, in fact, the Yan army stationed in Qingyang County, except for fighting with the Tiger Ben army, did not commit any offense to the common people, as if it was not at all like the enemy army.

As the grain robbery incident spread among the Tiger Ben Army, the people of Qingyang County soon became clear who was the enemy and who was the friend.

What made the blood of the people of Qingyang County boil even more was that when Lin Xiao, the general of the Yan Army, accepted the people of Qingyang County, he announced in public that anyone who stepped into the territory of Yan Country was the people of Yan State, and those who offended the people of Yan Country would be punished even if they were far away.

At first, the Tiger Ben Army, which tried to pursue the migrating people and seize their grain, no longer dared to provoke the Yan Army after the Yan Army attacked them twice.

In this era of human life as a mustard, Lin Xiao's actions undoubtedly brought the gospel to the people of Qingyang County, and the news came out that the people under the rule of Zhao State in Qingyang County were more and more migrating, and many people who tried to migrate to other countries went to the city under the control of the Yan army and went to the Yan country by way.

In the troubled times, it is a very luxurious thing to be able to survive in peace, in the past, they thought that the Zhao Kingdom was a paradise in the west and would not be affected by the war.

However, as the war continued to spread, the state of Zhao became worse and worse, not long ago I heard that the court ordered to snatch the grain from the hands of the people and transport it to the front, and later the boiled grain was distributed to the people as seeds, which directly led to an uprising among the people in the west of Handan City.

Now, the uprising has not yet subsided, and there has been another grain robbery incident in Qingyang County, and many enemy troops have not brought a threat, but they have been inflicted on innocent people by the Tiger Ben Army, and they have died tragically at the hands of the Tiger Ben Army.

In the past, the admiration for the Tiger Ben Army has now all turned into hatred, for this group of eagle dogs, everyone can be punished, and Zhao Mu and Ma Wu also hate it to the core, and only hope to put Ling Chi to death.

Inside the Tiger Army camp.

After grabbing enough food to last for two months, in order to recruit the Tiger Ben army to serve him, under the condition of heavy security, Ma Wu ordered a carnival in the military camp.

At this time, Ma Wu held a wine glass and stood on the high platform, under the high platform, tens of thousands of tiger soldiers stood below, full of spirit, and said in a heroic tone:

"After several days of unremitting efforts, the food problem that plagued everyone for half a month was finally solved, but the food could not last long, and after two months, most of the food would bottom out, and at that time, everyone would be hungry again, what should we do?"

Ma Wu hoped that through the matter of food, the Tiger Benjun would hate the Zhao Dynasty and turn to serve him wholeheartedly, all of which were true, and Zhao Mu could not help him when he sent people to come.

"General, this grain grabbing is purely accidental, and the last general feels that the emperor will definitely not sit idly by when he learns of our situation." Someone held a nest ball in his hand and headed towards Ma Wu.

"Yes, next, you still need to rely on the imperial court."

Ma Wu waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and shouted: "The Tiger Ben Army is the most elite army of Zhao State, it stands to reason that we only need to fight desperately and open up territory, but the current situation of Zhao State, everyone has also seen it, surrounded by strong enemies, the treasury money and grain were looted by the Yan army and emptied, and the royal family in Handan City is constantly changing.

In the barracks, the lack of food, shortly after the end of the year, the general reported to the court many times, but nearly two months passed, the food in the barracks was exhausted, and the court did not send any food. Therefore, everyone can no longer rely on the court

Besides, there are rules in the Tiger Ben army, it is strictly forbidden to rob the people of food, otherwise the light ones will be deducted from the grain, and the heavy ones may have the crime of killing their heads, not long ago, the whole army robbed the people of Qingyang County of food, even if the general bears the main responsibility, in the future, the court will be blamed, and everyone present will not be spared, and many people may fall to the ground. ”

Suddenly, the barracks became silent, what Ma Wu said was true, and everyone had no reason to refute it at all, there were indeed regulations in the army, and it was a big crime to rob the people of food.

However, judging from the situation of the Tiger Army, the court did not send food, and if they did not rob the people of food, they were afraid that many of the Tiger Army would starve to death in the near future.

"General, what next?" Someone asked.

"Yes, if the court doesn't send food, will we starve again?"

"Yes, we can't grab food, and we don't distribute grain and grass, isn't this forcing us to starve to death?"

Hearing Hu Benjun's anxious words and seeing his panicked expression, Ma Wu couldn't help but laugh secretly, at present, he wanted to weaken Hu Benjun's dependence on Zhao Guo's court, and gradually recruit these under his command.

couldn't help but say loudly: "As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, however, the ministers of the court hope that everyone will block the Yan army, but they refuse to transport grain and grass, and ignore everyone's situation, this is to starve everyone to death, what is the difference between them and the Yan army outside the camp, to say a disrespectful word, what are they not enemies?" ”

Enemy? The court officials became enemies, and the Tiger Ben Army wondered if their allegiance was in the wrong direction.

No, the court that refused to send food and tried to starve everyone to death was the same as the Yan army fighting on the battlefield, and the people who hurt their lives were the enemy.

Without giving everyone a chance to think, Ma Wu struck while the iron was hot, and said with righteousness and awe-inspiring: "Let's think about it carefully, this time, if we didn't snatch food from the people, at this moment, can everyone drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat?"

No, definitely not.

Therefore, if you want to live, you must not rely on the court, you will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, we must rely on ourselves, self-contained, what military regulations, what punishment, is it important to have everyone's name?

Today, in front of more than 60,000 tiger soldiers, General Ben made an oath that the matter of grabbing grain was led by General Ben, and if the court investigated it in the future, General Ben would never let the brothers present be punished. ”

"General!"

"The last general and the general advance and retreat together, and live and die together!"
