Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Feather of Flight

"Lord Taishou, don't thank me, thank me, thank me, he didn't hesitate to offend Lord Taishou, and he insisted on doing it. I'm just going through the motions. Honestly, I've never seen my arrogant son care so much about anyone. What young people think nowadays is really elusive. Cheng Gongde also showed a wry smile. Ma Teng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and suddenly had an inexplicable premonition that soon these young people would set off a storm that would subvert the entire Xiliang and even the entire world!

At night, Ma Zongheng was overjoyed when he saw Cheng Gongying leading a team of escorts and supplies to arrive. Cheng Gongying is still so chic, with long hair fluttering and a smile on his face, looking at Ma Zongheng's undisguised joy, he can't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart.

When he was young, Ma Zongheng came to a remote place under the guidance of Cheng Gongying's eyes. Cheng Gongying saluted and bowed: "Cheng Gongfei has seen the captain!" ”

"Flying Feather!?"

"Ying just passed the weak crown not long ago, and the flying feather is the word of Ying."

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his face was stunned, and he really couldn't see that Cheng Gongying was a year older than him, but he soon came back to his senses, grabbed Cheng Gongying's shoulder, and said happily: "Feiyu, why are you here!?" ”

Cheng Gongying smiled slightly, and then said: "It seems that I am too careful, I have been in a hurry to raise the army in the past and there is a shortage of food, I am afraid it will be difficult to act." Unexpectedly, the captain was like a god, and he had already made preparations, attacked the enemy's baggage team, and got supplies. ”

Ma Zongheng was obedient, laughed, and did not hide it, and said bluntly: "Feiyu don't want to ridicule me." At that time, my father wanted to stop me, and I was in a hurry, how could I take care of so much? Later, when I arrived not far from here, I heard the sound of killing, and the scout reported that my second lady was being besieged and killed by the Qiang people. After I heard about it, I naturally led troops to rescue and annihilated the Qiang people, only to know that my second lady happened to discover the Qiang people's baggage team and led the troops to attack, but I didn't expect that the enemy still had reinforcements behind, which was really dangerous to say. ”

When Cheng Gongying heard this, his face changed first, and then he condensed, and praised him sincerely: "The second lady is a heroine among women. ”

Immediately, Cheng Gongying changed his words and said with a smile: "Then I don't know that Lord Lieutenant can win a big victory today?" What is the current situation of Huangsha City? ”

"Huh? How did Fei Yu know that our army had fought today? ”

"Hehe, there are still blood stains on the captain's robe, and there are many soldiers patrolling around.

"Hahahaha~~!! I really can't hide anything from you!! Feiyu, you are here, stay by my side this time and make plans for me! Ma Zongheng laughed heartily, and then his eyes froze, staring at Cheng Gongying tightly.

"Ying is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" As soon as Cheng Gongying bowed his hand, he bowed. Ma Zongheng was overjoyed, so he and Cheng Gongying explained today's battle situation.

After a while, Jiang Jian rushed to say that the camp had been set up, and asked Ma Zongheng and Cheng Gongying to go over and rest. Ma Zongheng's spirit was shocked, so he said to Cheng Gongying: "The villagers and elders in Huangsha City are kind to me Ma Zongheng, and I will never let Zhang Qing's dog thief occupy it." Why don't Fei Yu enter the account with me and discuss countermeasures with everyone? ”

When Cheng Gongying heard this, he didn't push, but nodded his head, and then rushed with Ma Zongheng. When he was young, he was in the tent. The bird slave looked angry, and shouted urgently: "That Zhang Qing has been scared by my uncle today, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue it, and tomorrow you will support the army to kill the city, and teach that Zhang Qing to surrender!" Otherwise, I will storm the city and teach those thieves to know that I am so powerful!! ”

As soon as the words of the bird slave fell, Hu Che'er, Zhang Heng and other people with more temperamental temperaments all covered their palms and applauded, and they echoed one after another. Beigong Feng was glaring at the bird, looking at Ma Zongheng and said, "I don't know what the decision of the Xianggong is?" ”

Ma Zongheng was obedient, but he smiled easily, turned his eyes to Cheng Gongying and said: "There are flying feathers here, why do you need me to offer ugliness?" ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Cheng Gongying. Cheng Gongying smiled, got up slowly, showed a chic look, and said unhurriedly: "Judging from today's battle situation, that Zhang Qing is just a reckless man who is afraid of the strong and bullying the weak. If I had been right, this man would have defended the city and would not have dared to fight. If this is the case, even if our army attacks, it will only cause fearless casualties, which is really the best policy. ”

"You!!" When the bird slave heard Cheng Gongying's words, she was not angry in her heart, and she stared at her big eyes, and was about to shout, but she was held down by Hu Che'er beside her. Hu Che'er frowned and asked, "Then according to what Gonggong Cheng sees, what should we do?" ”

"If the enemy does not come out, it proves that he has been cowardly against our army. At this time, the enemy occupies a favorable position, our army does not have many troops, and there is no siege weapon. But if our army bluffs and focuses on attacking the heart, so that the enemy will be in chaos, once the time comes, there will be changes in the city, and it will be easy to break through the city! Cheng Gong's English is not fast or slow, not light or heavy, but there is a lot of inexplicable convincing, everyone listened, and couldn't help but bow their heads and be convinced.

"Gu Yundao, a good warper, attacking the heart, and surrendering without a fight. Flying feathers are also wonderful! Ma Zongheng's eyes are shining, in fact, he has not only been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, but also the art of war, he has read "The Art of War" since he was a child, and later came to the back of the Dragon Shield, and also read the ancient books about the art of war, among which his favorite is "Wu Muqi Book".

Cheng Gongying is obedient, his eyes are also bright, it is extremely difficult to meet a confidant, not to mention that this person will become his own lord in the future. In fact, Cheng Gongying has been impressed by Ma Zongheng's charm, and the reason why he has been unwilling to take refuge is that the time has not come, and secondly, to avoid arousing Ma Teng's suspicion. After all, now Ma Zongheng is very prestigious in Jicheng, and the Wang family's family business is complementary, if he gets the refuge of the Cheng family. The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, even between father and son, it is inevitable that there will be mustard.

"But in this way, I also know how much time it takes, that Zhang Qing's cruelty and inhumanity are notoriously unkind, and I am afraid that the people in the city will suffer!" When the finch slave heard this, he couldn't help but show a little urgency.

At this time, Beigong Feng suddenly smiled and said: "This is not necessarily, have you forgotten the tunnel we dug in the city in order to prevent the tragedy of the year!?" ”

When the bird slave heard this, he immediately patted his head, suddenly came to his senses, and said, "That's right! How did I forget this! ”

Ma Zongheng was startled when he saw this finch slave, and couldn't help but look at Beigong Feng, Beigong Feng seemed to recall the past, his face was a little sad, and he sighed: "Back then, Han Sui plotted to rebel, and my father Beigong Boyu was killed by that black ghost shortly after. Han Sui immediately sent troops to surround and suppress my Beigong family, but fortunately, there were a group of uncles who were desperately guarding me, and I was able to escape. Later, we fled to Huangsha City, and in order to prevent such a tragedy from happening, I specially ordered someone to dig a tunnel in the city, just in case. ”

"Hmph, Han Jiuqu and Black Ghost Evil, these two cunning thieves and villains, one day I will make them pay the price!!" Seeing the sadness on Beigong Feng's face, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, his eyes immediately became sharp, and he shouted coldly.

At this time, Cheng Gongying smiled brightly, and said in a condensed voice: "With this tunnel, and with my strategy, within three days, you will be able to recapture Huangsha City!" ”

Beigong Feng, who seemed a little lonely, was shocked when he heard this, and asked urgently: "Is this true!?" ”

Cheng Gongying smiled, bowed his hand, and said unhurriedly: "The second lady can wait and see." ”

The night passed. Early tomorrow morning, Ma Zongheng once again led Chikui to the city of Huangsha and shouted for battle. But just as Cheng Gongying expected, the thieves in the city were unmoved, and no matter how Ma Zongheng scolded, they would not come out.

Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and suddenly Ma Zongheng's words turned around, raised the Longyan Yanyue Knife in his hand and pointed at the head of the city, and shouted: "Wait for the thief to listen!" Although you are cowering in the city, my father's army will arrive soon, this Huangsha City is just a small place, but when my army besieges the city, there is no place for the death of the priest! ! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, the thieves in the city suddenly made a commotion, and the formation was in chaos. Seeing this, Ma Zongheng secretly sneered, and then said: "Zhang Qing is brutal, everyone knows it. I forgive you and the others are involuntarily, and those who know each other quickly open the door and surrender, otherwise once my father's army is killed, with his jealous and hateful character, you will ask for more blessings when the time comes!! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's voice fell, there was chaos in the city again. Ma Zongheng didn't say much more, suddenly pulled out the red black, and led the army to retreat.

Soon the news reached Zhang Qing, and when Zhang Qing heard it, his face changed drastically, and he was in chaos for a while. The same is true of the thieves under his command, who are noisy and chaotic, and they all want to withdraw their troops. Only Yuwen Changyou's face was as usual, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Qing: "Don't panic, the king, even if Ma Shouyuan wants to send troops to attack, it will take at least seven or eight days." We can wait and see what happens, and if the enemy forces are really numerous, it will not be too late to withdraw. After all, the king's prestige in Nan'an is overwhelming, if he is so hastily withdrawn, after returning to Nan'an, I am afraid that he will lose his popularity. ”

When Zhang Qing heard this, he couldn't help but change his face slightly, he had always loved face, and after pondering for a while, he felt that Yuwen Changyou's words made a lot of sense. But he didn't know that Yuwen Changyou got a secret letter from Han Sui at that time, and Han Sui asked him to delay Zhang Qing for at least one month. The second half of the month has not arrived, and Yuwen Changyou has delayed the time as much as possible.

"What Changyou said is very true. I, Zhang Qing, can dominate in Nan'an, don't I am afraid that this Ma family's father and son will not succeed!? Pass on my order, teach the army to only guard the city, and I will swear to fight to the death with the father and son of the Ma family!! Zhang Qing stood up suddenly, and shouted with all his might.

It's just that his military order was issued later, but the soldiers in the army knew that Zhang had the intention of retreating early in the morning, so he secretly prepared and packed up. Seeing this, the soldiers were demoralized and the morale of the army was low.

At night, just at the time of the second watch, suddenly on the distant hill opposite the east gate, the fire was like a star, and a fire dragon seemed to crawl down from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. When the thieves in the city saw it, they were immediately frightened and at a loss, and hurriedly reported to Zhang Qing. When Zhang Qing heard the news, he hurriedly summoned a group of soldiers to the city to watch, and saw the fire dragon stretching down from the mountain, and he didn't know how many soldiers and horses came. Zhang Qing was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night when he went back that night.

The next day, Ma Zongheng led Chikui to the city early in the morning, neighing and shouting, teaching the thieves in the city to open the city and surrender, otherwise two days later, as soon as his father's army arrived, he would besiege the city and fight, and no one would be able to escape at that time. The thieves in the city were flustered when they heard this, and they didn't know what to do. After Ma Zongheng passed the word, he led his troops to leave again. That night, Zhang Qing heard that the hearts of the troops in the city were unstable, and many soldiers had the intention of withdrawing. Zhang Qing was worried, and urgently taught Yuwen Changyou to come to discuss. Yuwen Changyou was appeased, and finally made Zhang Qing's heart steady, and suddenly another soldier came to report, saying that there was a fire like a star outside the city, and there seemed to be more soldiers than last night. Zhang Qing was obedient, and was immediately startled, thinking that Ma Teng was pouring out his troops, so he wanted to withdraw his troops immediately. Yuwen Changyou hurriedly persuaded him, saying that if he withdrew rashly, the enemy soldiers would definitely take the opportunity to cover up and kill, so it was better to wait for tomorrow to find out and then make a conclusion. Zhang Qing heard that there was some truth, so he suppressed his panic.
