Song Yue felt that her small shoulders couldn't bear such a big responsibility.

scolded and said a few more words, and could only beat the horse away stupidly.

Wang Jin came over worriedly and asked, Sima, is it okay for us to offend General Chen like this, let's not make any extraneous branches.

Ma Zhong said calmly, it's okay, I don't expect Song Yue to come over again in a short time. We've just fortified the camp again, and they'll think we're holding on. Taking advantage of their thinking inertia, let's immediately pull out the camp and seize Maicheng.

Wang Jin's hand shook on the spot, and he asked in surprise, Sima, I heard you right

Maicheng is a very old town.

When the Wu people attacked Chu, Wu Zixu built two cities of donkey milling on the left and right of Maicheng in order to break through this city, and also left the proverb that the east donkey grinds in the west and the wheat city breaks itself.

But where there is an ancient city, it is either in a rich place or in a strategic place.

Mai Cheng is close to Dangyang, like a sharp knife against Dangyang's back, and it is undoubtedly an important strategic location.

If Ma Zhong can lead this chaotic army to attack Maicheng, then Chen Zhi's army will inevitably be greatly affected, if he can't resist Cao Ren and let this Menghu in, what kind of situation will Jingzhou be

Ma Zhong's eyes almost lit up.

Wang Jin dissuaded again and again, Sima, by all means, if we go to Maicheng, it will be tantamount to declaring war directly on General Chen

Ma Zhong scolded, you are messy, we have so many soldiers and horses in our hands, even if we can't go to the battlefield to help Chen Dao, can't we still guard Maicheng, take 10,000 steps back, even if Chen Zhi loses, with our help in Maicheng, he can also have a chance to breathe. This is for the sake of the overall situation of Jingzhou, how can I have any other intentions

Wang Jin was silent when he heard this, but he refused to agree.

Ma Zhong summoned many heroes and said that this decision really made those heroes explode.

Sima, we seem to have gone a little too far, and if we continue to provoke General Chen, the gains outweigh the losses

That's it, what are we trying to do, I admit it, at the beginning, I was greedy, in order to covet the money of the family. But I didn't expect it to end so badly

We were all ordered by Lord Pan, the order of the county, but I don't think we are welcomed everywhere.

If we mess up Maicheng this time, I'm afraid that Dangyang will also be impacted.

Ma Zhong heard a lot of discussions, and repeated the nonsense he had just said to Wang Jin, and then added with a surprised face, Everyone, the soldiers are in your hands, not in the hands of my Ma Zhong, what are you panicking about, I only have two pawns in Ma Zhong's hands, can I still cause a monstrous disaster with two pawns

Whether you can keep Jingzhou or not, whether it plays a good role or a bad role, it all depends on yourself, what else do you have to hesitate I listened to your words just now, and everyone said it very well, I can see that you are all loyal and good people who are counting on the stability of Jingzhou. The soldiers are in control of your hands, and I, Ma Zhong, am just suggesting, can I still use this mouth to ruin the situation in your Jingzhou.

Zhong Haoqiang listened to Ma Zhong's joke, and his first reaction was that it was hard to say

Then they were a little more at ease, and yes, the soldiers were in their hands. They certainly won't be holding back.

Absolutely

Ma Zhong saw that the voices of the heroes and the powerful were lowered, and said slowly, Actually, I don't mean anything else, our Jingzhou people have been ignored repeatedly, and this is not the same time. We, Lord Pan, can be called a figure like the crown of Jingzhou. But in the Jingzhou army, he was squeezed out by Guan Yu and a reckless man, and he was depressed and couldn't get his will. The Jingzhou Army is no longer the Jingzhou Army of our Jingzhou people, and our Jingzhou Army can only obey the command of outsiders.

If this continues, I'm afraid there will be fewer and fewer ways out for us. If we can draw attention to our presence this time, maybe you won't be in the countryside for nothing.

The heroes were silent when they listened.

Ma Zhong was accustomed to their state of entanglement and helplessness, and he raised his voice and said, Then it is decided

The heroes at the bottom sighed for a long time, and no one objected to it or supported it.

Ma Zhong immediately said, Okay, after we set up camp in Maicheng now, I will definitely not say a word, let you stick to it

Under Ma Zhong's urging, everyone reluctantly set up camp.

The only motivation was Ma Zhong's promise to them, and when they arrived in Maicheng, the army would no longer have to run around. Master Pan will come to the army as soon as possible.

As long as there is a meritorious service in the battle against the Cao thief, everyone can even be rewarded.

Ma Zhong took these rabble and arrived at the outskirts of Maicheng at great speed.

This is the stage he is destined to be

In history, Ma Zhong captured Guan Yu's father and son here

Ma Zhong looked at this ancient city from afar, maybe it really had the power of fate, and the stage that Ma Zhong chose to end the rebellion in Nanjun was still Maicheng

Chen Zhi was really a thoughtful general, even if Mai Cheng was hiding behind him, he sent a military marquis with more than 200 people to guard here.

Maicheng is a small county, and only the county magistrate does not have a county order. It is very close to Dangyang and belongs to Chen Zhi's sphere of influence. Ma Zhong's forged Pan Gongwen arrived in Maicheng. The county magistrate's hand turned, and then it came to the hands of the military marquis.

The illiterate military marquis Zhang Bei ignored this inexplicable official document.

He only listened to Chen's military order to open the city gates.

Seeing that the city ignored them, the heroes were a little apprehensive, and they all came to Ma Zhong to get ideas.

Ma Zhong was not in a hurry this time, he said calmly, it doesn't matter, since Mai Cheng can't enter, we can't delay our enthusiasm for boxing. Let's camp on the outskirts of Maicheng.

Those Haoqiang muttered in their hearts when they heard it, this doesn't seem to be the same as what you said.

But I'm also a little happy in my heart, at least I don't have to tear my face directly with Chen Zhi.

The small county where these two hundred soldiers were stationed didn't have to spend too much effort to defeat it, but the nature of it changed in this way.

Now stationed on the outskirts of Maicheng, Chen Zhi has nothing to say

With this confidence and calmness, the heroes dug trenches, set up barracks, and built a hard village on the main road between Dangyang and Maicheng according to the guidance of the warm-hearted Ma Zhong.

I don't know if Song Yue's intelligence made Chen Zhi have the illusion that those disobedient guys were still in place.

It wasn't until the next day that Chen Zhi found out about the situation.

When Chen arrived at the place where Ma Zhong was camped, he was covered in white sweat on the spot.

However, Cao Ren has already begun to pull forward, and the strikers have already started small-scale contact. Chen Zhi can't deal with Cao Ren, how can he have the kung fu to deal with this gang of bastards behind him.

He sent Song Yue to persuade with kind words again, but under Ma Zhong's hints, these heroes still chose to ignore and ignore them.

They are in a posture of waiting for the price to sell, but they have no idea what their actions mean. To be continued.
