Yuwen Changyou has always believed in one sentence, that is, there is always a reason for everything, he asked himself if he couldn't see through the details of Ma Zongheng, but he felt that a genius like Cheng Gongying was willing to be willing to do it, there must be a big reason. So Yuwen Changyou decided to give it a go, and when he came back from Ma Zongheng's mistake, the whole person became energetic, and he urgently ordered someone to rush to report, and the rest of the people all moved over to the road.

And not long after Yuwen Changyou left, Cheng Gongying turned out of the back hall with a smile and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." Although this Yuwen Changyou is a Qiang person, he has good skills and careful thoughts, and he is a general. In the future, if the lord wants to create a great cause in Xiliang, the power of the Qiang people must be indispensable, and this Yuwen Changyou can be of great use. ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he smiled with a shocked smile: "This road is still long." In the future, I need to rely on you a lot! ”

"The lord lifted up. I have heard that the first battle of the lord was more than half a year ago, but now he has such a good result, which is really incredible. Sometimes I really feel that the lord or a person outside the world has skills that ordinary people can't imagine. Cheng Gongying said, suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he wanted to see through Ma Zongheng's thoughts, and stared tightly. Ma Zongheng was as usual on the surface, but his heart jumped, and he couldn't help but sigh at the high wisdom of Cheng Gongying, and he almost guessed it.

However, Ma Zongheng quickly relieved, after all, this is the era of feudal superstition, and what soul crossing, for people in this era, it is simply a barren talk. It's just that if it's really exposed, it may be thought that it's a demon.

"Fei Yu's words are beyond the boundary, if I am really some kind of person from outside the world, when I first attacked Jicheng and Qidao, I would have already cast spells, why should I take risks every time?"

"But the lord can turn evil into good fortune. Could this be the so-called Ji people's own natural appearance? Na Ying can vote under the command of the lord, but it is really a blessing for three lives. Cheng Gongying did not relent, and finally smiled in a half-joking way.

At this time, Ma Zongheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he said, "Don't say more jokes." These days, I have a lot of worries. It has been a few days since our army captured the Qiangdao, and as usual, Han Jiuqu should have learned the news, but there has been no movement. Besides, my father has never made a statement. ”

When Cheng Gongying heard this, he frowned, and said: "What the lord is worried about is also what Ying thinks." First of all, Ma Gong did not make a statement, or he saw that the lord was interested in being independent, and he was displeased. As for Han Jiuqu, who has always been cunning as a fox, he has suffered such a big loss this time, I am afraid that he is thinking about how to take revenge at this time. Besides, don't forget, in the West Liang, who is the hegemon! ”

"You mean Dong Jackal!?" Ma Zongheng was obedient, his face tightened, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, too. This time Zhang Qing and Zhang Hua raised troops in Tianshui, it was Dong Jackal's conspiracy, he was ambitious, and his troops went out of the Central Plains, and he was bound to win. As I thought, Dong Jackal is waiting for Han Jiuqu and Ma Gong to make a statement first. And Han Jiuqu and Ma Gong are probably also waiting for Dong Jackal to decide! ”

Ma Zongheng was frightened by Cheng Gongying's words, his expression deepened and sank, and his heart couldn't help but be a little disordered, and said, "What does Fei Yu mean now?" ”

When Cheng Gongying heard this, he let out a long sigh, showing a little old-fashioned, and said slowly: "After all, Dong Jackal Tiger is canonized by the imperial court, and the history of the Xiliang Thorn is justified. And now Han Jiuqu and Ma Gong are not the thieves of the Heavenly Righteous Army back then. Since the Han Dynasty established the state pastoral system, it has absolute canonization rights over the counties under its jurisdiction. But if Dong Jackal wants to stir up trouble again and canonize Han Jiuqu's henchmen as Nan'an Taishou, what if so? ”

"I and the soldiers finally won the Badge, and Dong Jackal wanted to teach me to give it to others with just one sentence!? It's just whimsical!! Ma Zongheng's eyes suddenly flashed fiercely, and he shouted angrily.

Cheng Gongying was unhurried, and asked rhetorically: "But if the lord refuses to accept it." Dong Jackal Hu didn't even need to report to the imperial court to make the lord a thief. At that time, Xuan Ma Gong and Han Jiuqu raised troops to attack him. Wouldn't the lord meet with Ma Gong's soldiers!? ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his heart tightened, but he didn't speak. Cheng Gongying then said: "Ma Gong has always been loyal to the Han, and the previous rebellion was all for the people. If Ma Gong is condemned as a thief again because of his protection of the lord this time, I am afraid that he will bear the infamy of being pointed out by thousands of people and be spurned by the people of the world. The so-called untrustworthy and righteous people lose the world. When the time comes, Dong Jackal Tiger will join forces with Han Jiuqu again, and it will be easy to eradicate your two father and son. ”

Suddenly, Ma Zongheng's self-confidence was a little inflated, which was a big blow. He originally thought that with his current power, it would not take long for him to become a warlord. But Cheng Gongying's cruel words made him deeply aware that he was still not worth mentioning in front of a hegemon like Dong Zhuo. At the very least, he can't even control his own fate! As long as Dong Zhuo said a word, all the efforts he and his brothers had worked on would come to naught.

Ma Zongheng took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became much clearer. Cheng Gongying saw it and couldn't help but smile faintly. Since breaking through the Basket Road, Cheng Gongying has more or less noticed Ma Zongheng's secretly inflated self-confidence, which is not a good thing, and to put it appropriately, it is complacency. It is precisely because of this that Cheng Gongying did not hesitate to wake up Ma Zongheng with cruel facts, after all, in history, those warlords and princes who were too complacent would not end up well. Fortunately, Ma Zongheng was able to accept this cruel truth, and instead of being annoyed and angry, he scolded him for not choosing his words. Otherwise, if Ma Zongheng's qi was only this kind of Cheng dù, he would definitely be greatly disappointed.

"As Fei Yu said, then what should I do now?" Ma Zongheng's face was solemn and asked in a deep voice. Cheng Gongying smiled and replied unhurriedly: "My lord, there is no need to be in a hurry, you can first spread benevolence, Buen the people, gather people's popularity, and train the troops diligently, strive for fine governance, and work hard." Dong Jackal's there, I have my own clever plan. ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his eyes opened, and two rays of light shot out, daring to feel that Cheng Gongying had already had a countermeasure, but he deliberately came to hit him just now. Ma Zongheng's sharp eyes came, but Cheng Gongying was still as usual, smiling.

After a while, Ma Zongheng smiled and said, "Okay, you slippery, why don't you say it earlier!" Hide your head and show your tail, not a hero! ”

"Haha, let this hero be the master. Ying is just the staff behind the hero. Cheng Gongying smiled brightly. The relationship between the two has not only deepened because of this, but has deepened a lot.

So, Cheng Gongying reported the plan to Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng was obedient, as usual on the surface, but secretly he was full of praise. After hearing this, Ma Zongheng shook and said: "In this way, I have to bother Feiyu to go away." ”

"Lord, you're welcome." Cheng Gongying bowed his hand and said with a faint smile.

A few days later, it was said that in the hall of Yicheng, Dong Zhuogao sat on the upper seat, a pair of bear-like fierce eyes were wide open, and his whole body exuded a tyrannical aura of the prosperity of those who obey me and those who oppose me, and slammed the case, and asked in a cold voice: "How!?" It's been half a month, and you haven't said anything yet!? ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, the strategists in the vertical row on the right were all nervous, and their faces were terrified, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to speak without permission. At this time, in the team on the left, the first person, who was strong and strong, had a rather ordinary appearance, and a little more wooden, hurried out: "Father-in-law, don't worry! Little pony thief, what is the trouble, the little son-in-law is willing to lead the army to cut it down!! ”

As soon as this remark came out, many people were secretly laughing. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he slapped the case again, glared and scolded: "Idiot!! I just don't want to make a big move, so I have to work so hard, not to mention that if I really want to deal with that Ma family child, how can Ma Manzi stand by and watch!? And how many times have I instructed me not to be commensurate with my father-in-law in front of everyone, breaking the rules!! Are your pig's brains full of grass, and you won't retreat!? ”

The big man who was scolded was Dong Zhuo's eldest son-in-law, Niu Fu. It is said that Dong Zhuo has three daughters under his knees, and the eldest daughter is virtuous and shrewd, but she is married to Niu Fu, who is talented and dull and has only brute strength. The second daughter is as beautiful as a flower and eccentric, and she is married to Li Ru, who is talented and talented. As for the third daughter, I heard that she is as beautiful as a flower, and she is the most beautiful of the three.

Niu Fu was scolded by Dong Zhuo like this, and hurriedly retreated, not daring to let go of a fart. Or he has been used to being scolded by Dong Zhuo, not to mention a trace of resentment on his face, but like a child who has been scolded by his strict father.

"Don't be angry, General Niu just wants to share the worries of the lord. To tell the truth, Confucianism actually had a plan, but he wanted to see how Han Jiuqu reacted before making a decision. What he didn't expect was that Han Jiuqu was extraordinary, even if he learned that his general was calculated by the Ma family's children, and he was also shot and injured, and then thought that Yan Yanming was his son-in-law, he didn't take any action. According to the detailed report, Yan Yanming had a lot of complaints in private. My lord, this is not a great time! I saw that Li Ru was wearing a blue gold brocade robe, compared to the dull Niu Fu, I don't know how many times more chic, and then look at his graceful demeanor, well-founded speech, witty words, except for a few people who were jealous of him, all of them admired him.

Dong Zhuo heard it, but he couldn't hold it, Dong Zhuo is also a person who loves his life, and when he heard Li Ru's secret meaning, he couldn't help but get excited, and said hurriedly: "Wen You means, I can take the opportunity to let this Yan Yanming come to vote!?" ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, suddenly a person walked out faintly and said, "The lord is slow." Yan Yanming is a jackal. If the lord wants to use this person, he must be cautious! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his rugged face couldn't help showing a little dislike, and when he fixed his eyes, it was Sima Li Su of the other department, so his face sank, and he asked, "Oh? According to Zhiping's opinion, what should it be? ”

"I think that in order to restrain the generation of Ma and Han, we have to select useful talents from the soldiers, so that they can do it. Riding the captain, Li urged the character of the brave and fierce, loyal, good at fighting, quite a heroic style, can be allowed to be Nan'an Taishou, guarding the position of Tianshui and Jincheng's throat, then Xiliang can be stable. Li Su said unhurriedly, neither humble nor arrogant. As soon as these words came out, Li Xuan's face was shocked, and his eyes shot two fine lights.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he also felt that it was feasible, and twisted the thick long beard of his jaw with his hand, and said with his chin bowed: "What Zhiping said is indeed reasonable. It's just..."
