0817 The Charm of War
The old man laughed when he heard this, "Your people want to catch the guide, originally the old man and I hid well, but I heard that it was your Ma Zhong's people who led the way, so I stood up myself." I told those people that I had lived a long time, and I knew all the surrounding towns and villages, and those people believed me, so they arrested me and let the old man get his wish. ”
Ma Zhong was confused, this old man actually took the initiative to fight with him.
I am in Hefei, how can I have such a high negative reputation?
I heard the old man say viciously, "Ma Zhong, your people have burned our grain fields in Hefei, which can be described as extremely frenzied. Our family of six is living a good life, and we can barely have enough to eat. But you have done such a hurtful thing, from the octogenarian mother to the grandson who is waiting for you, all of them have no way to live. Now I'm going to give up my life and see you alive or dead! ”
Saying that, the old man struggled and was about to crash into Ma Zhong.
Zhang Da, who was guarding next to Ma Zhong, unceremoniously kicked the old man to the ground, and then, the two soldiers who escorted the old man up hurriedly held him down again.
When Ma Zhong heard the reason, he was stunned at first, and then he understood the cause and effect.
In my heart, 100,000 grass and mud horses galloped by.
This Zhang Liao!
Lao Tzu kindly gave you a strategy and helped you protect Hefei City, and you actually gave me a negative reputation!
If this bastard walks around the grain fields outside Hefei City and I burned them, wouldn't Lao Tzu be notorious here?
I still hope to do something to be a celebrity in the future, to be a celebrity, and to give future generations a good background.
The more Ma Zhong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold, "Zhang Liao, a brute, dares to do these evil things in the name of Lao Tzu!" I will never give up with you! ”
Seeing that Ma Zhong had figured out the cause and effect, he killed the old man with a knife, and then knelt on the ground and blamed himself, "The lord is the fault of his humble position, which has put the army in crisis. ”
"Hmm." Ma Zhong replied angrily, "Do you know what you are doing wrong? ”
Gong Qiu Hu hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The humble position should arrest a few more people, and then let them lead the way separately." ”
Ma Zhong glanced at Gong Qiuhu with an unkind face, and said, "It's not too useless, this battle is over, you go to Li Fei to get the five army sticks yourself." ”
The public enemy tiger hurriedly agreed.
Ma Zhong is a little helpless, things have come to this point, what else can he do?
He rode his horse and looked into the distance for a moment, then pointed ahead and asked strangely, "What is that?" ”
Gong Qiu Hu hurriedly got up and watched, he had gathered a lot of information in the past few days, and he would know what was going on after careful calculation.
"Back to the lord, there is the mouth of Chaohu Lake, which is connected to a big river leading to the mouth of the water."
Ma Zhong was depressed, how did he get here.
Then he pointed strangely at the big boats that were squeezing and crashing by the lake, "Is our Jiangdong Army's navy still here?" ”
Gong Qiuhu hurriedly replied, "Not here, I heard that because of the rain, the boat can't be burned." Sun Jiangdong sank several huge ships at the mouth of the river and blocked the river. ”
Ma Zhong looked at the silted river and said it was a pity.
Now that he has found his position, the direction of Hefei is not difficult to determine, but the siltation in that direction is more serious.
Ma Zhong looked at the mud and sighed for a long time, so he could only return the same way to bet on the will of heaven.
When camping at night, everyone deliberately chose high ground for fear that the camp would be soaked by the rain.
The next day, before dawn, Ma Zhong heard the sound of raindrops hitting the tent.
Ma Zhong sighed secretly, but he could only admit that he was unlucky.
Because the dark clouds were too thick, Ma Zhong was not sure where it was daylight.
He sat in his military tent, and let Bailichuan, Gong Qiuhu, Quan Cong, He Jing and others also hide from the rain in their tents, so they didn't have to come over.
As long as the rain doesn't stop, there's no point in saying anything else.
The rain continued to rain for three days, and all the ready-made dry food in the camp was eaten.
As for eating something hot to warm up, don't even think about it.
There was some dry firewood in Ma Zhong's tent, and it was about to run out.
But it wasn't without its rewards.
Gong Qiuhu, who went out to spy on intelligence, accidentally caught a messenger from Hefei and got a message that caught Ma Zhong off guard.
This news directly gave Ma Zhongxin a new understanding, and made him realize more and more that the war was really full of infinite charm.
The mysterious mystery composed of three words, such as time, place, and people, no one dares to say that they can easily see the result.
The news doesn't sound complicated.
On the second day of the appointment, because the weather was fine, Ma Zhong decided to march to join Ding Feng and Cen Wolf. But at the same time, near the city of Hefei, it was raining......
So Ding Feng and Cen Wolf followed the previous plan, without waiting to join Ma Zhong, and braved the rain to raid several camps outside Hefei City.
They took advantage of the heavy rain to attack the unsuspecting defenders of Hefei, and they succeeded easily.
Later, after obtaining enough supplies, the two joined forces and attacked the east gate of Hefei.
The two raided the east gate, but they also put a fire in the city gate hole, which blackened the city gate of Hefei, and then the proud leader returned south.
Ma Zhong learned that the whole thing was the urge to smoke his mouth, the pattern of the ancient people was small, and he had the consciousness of later generations, but he didn't expect that the coverage of a rain might be very small, and it was likely that there would be a huge deviation in making decisions according to this.
Taking advantage of the rain and idleness, Ma Zhong summed up a lot of rules very seriously.
It was about the fifth day when the sky cleared again, but unfortunately even the road from before was muddy.
Ma Zhong thought that at this time, the reinforcements from Shouchun might be coming, and he really had only one way to die when he went to Hefei.
It's just that I don't know how much Sun Quan's 100,000 Jiangdong Army can withdraw when the weather is so bad.
If they are all blocked on the north bank of the Yangtze River, it will be lively.
Ma Zhong thought about it for a while, and then stopped paying attention to this issue.
Because they have been seriously disconnected and left behind.
These soldiers and horses of the Liberation Battalion encountered several waves of messengers delivering messages back and forth on the way.
Seeing these messengers in a dignified manner, they rushed back and forth without warning.
Ma Zhong already understood that he was afraid that the defenders of Hefei or the reinforcements of Shouchun had advanced to the front.
Now this place is already the rear of the imperial court's soldiers and horses.
In other words, even if Ma Zhong fled south, he would chase the butts of the imperial court soldiers and horses, and if those guys turned around, they might be able to wrap him in dumplings.
"What should I do?"
Ma Zhong regretted a little at this time that he didn't bring Ma Jian out.
Although Ma Jian is not very reliable, he is really good at a critical time.
