"The head of the house!! Head of House~~!! Li Jin, Li Jin was killed by a fierce man!! On the other side, a member of the Cheng family, surprised and happy, hurriedly came to report. When Cheng Gongde heard this, he was shocked at first, but he quickly came back to his senses, but he didn't take the opportunity to order the killing, but shouted: "Quickly pass my order, all the troops and horses will be gathered immediately, and prepare for war carefully!" ”

At this time, Li Jin, who had no leader, was still under the leadership of a few soldiers and struggled to insist. After a while, Pang Ming, Beigong Feng and others arrived with their troops. Pang Ming's long beard shook before he flew away, and his voice was like a bell, and he shouted: "You and other thieves still know me Pang Mingye!? ”

Pang Ming cheered together, and Li Jin's deployment seemed to have been released for a while, as if even the last breath had been released.

"Pang Gong, it was Pang Gong who led his troops to kill back!"

"Evil will be rewarded in the end, we shouldn't have rebelled with Li Jin in the first place!"

"Wang Shuai is righteous, and he treats us well on weekdays. We deserve to be there today!! ”

Many of the soldiers dropped their weapons, and some fell to their knees and wept bitterly. The soldiers under Li Jin's command kept shouting and shouting, and they also tried to boost morale and encourage the soldiers to fight.

"Damn lackey, smash you!!" A howl suddenly erupted, and suddenly dozens of soldiers rushed at a general and hacked him to death. Seeing this, the other two hurriedly discarded their weapons and shouted that they were willing to surrender.

A hot wind blew on Ma Zongheng's bloody face. Ma Zongheng asked coldly, "Let's offer Li Jin's head." ”

Ma Zongheng's words made the surrounding soldiers surprised, Pang Ming rode over, and when he saw Ma Zongheng's hand, his respect was even stronger, and he said: "Lord, what you have in your hand is the anti-thief Li Jin!" ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he threw Li Jin's head to the ground, looked down at the group of soldiers condescendingly, and said majestically and undoubtedly: "This is the fate of the anti-thief, you should take it as a warning!" ”

At this time, a team of people suddenly rushed over, but they didn't dare to get too close, and one of the people in the team shouted: "Pang Gongke still knows me Chenggong Deye!?" ”

When Pang Ming heard this, his face suddenly turned cold like frost, and he was about to shout angrily, but he was stopped by Ma Zongheng with his eyes. Pang Ming also seemed to understand that if he wanted to stabilize the situation in Jicheng, Cheng Gongde would be indispensable, so he held back his anger and replied: "If the head of the Cheng Gong family wants to talk, why don't you come and talk about it?" ”

"Hahaha, Pang Gong is scheming, so he unknowingly eradicated Li Jin overnight and captured Jicheng. The little brother is really willing to bow down. I heard that Wang Dashuai entrusted all his subordinates and family business to Ma Fufeng's son on his deathbed, but I don't know if Ma Xian's nephew is there? "How could the scheming Cheng Gongde pass, that is, he laughed it off.

"The one who killed Li Jin was the lord of Pang, the person entrusted by the marshal. Moreover, the strategy of capturing Jicheng was also done by my lord. As soon as Pang Ming's words came out, Cheng Gongde's face couldn't help but change, and he looked at Ma Zongheng curiously, seeing that he was so burly, his heart trembled at first, and suddenly he saw Beigong Feng behind Ma Zongheng, as well as the deployment of the Hu people behind, and suddenly came to his senses, and did not hesitate to introduce Ma Zongheng to a junior, bent down and smiled: "I have heard that the Ma family has more talents, this is true." Now the Jicheng horse brothers have taken it, I don't know if it can be released to my dog? "This Cheng Gongde is really shameless, and he called Ma Zongheng a virtuous nephew before, but now he is an equal generation with Ma Zongheng.

"He's in Huangsha City!" Ma Zongheng didn't talk nonsense, and said succinctly, let Cheng Gongde have a certain heart first.

"This son is extremely powerful, and it is really rare in the world. In the Western Liang, I am afraid that only the 'black ghost' Yan Yanming can fight with it. Besides, although this person doesn't look like a resourceful person, if what Pang Ming just said is true, I'm afraid this person is not under my son's plan. Now that my son is in his hands again, it is better not to act rashly. Cheng Gongde's brain was spinning, and after thinking about it, he immediately gave up his hand and smiled: "The dog is taken care of by Brother Ma, and the old man really can't help it." Having said that, when Li Jin rebelled secretly, although the old man was resentful, he could only succumb to it for the time being and wait for the opportunity to move. Later, Li Jin was brutal and unkind, and the people in the city complained, and tonight the old man united with the righteous people in the city, and wanted to eradicate Li Jin and return the city to the Wang family, but he didn't expect that Brother Ma had a plan, and the old man was too much. It seems that Wang Dashuai really didn't choose the wrong person. ”

When everyone heard this, they all scoffed. Similar to a shameless person like Cheng Gongde, Ma Zongheng is not uncommon in later generations, and he is too lazy to dismantle it, so he said with a cold face: "In this way, it is really in vain to the kindness of the head of the Cheng Gong family." Now that Jicheng has been leveled, why don't the heads of the Chenggong family teach the righteous to disperse? ”

When Cheng Gongde heard this, his face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered as usual and said, "Naturally." ”

Cheng Gongde said, and then cast a look at the soldiers behind him, those soldiers were shocked, and they wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end, under Cheng Gongde's fierce eyes, they still didn't dare to speak. Subsequently, Cheng Gongde also bowed to Ma Zongheng and said: "Then the old man will not bother first, if Brother Ma needs anything, even if he commands, the old man is duty-bound." ”

"Cheng Gong's kindness, Ma Mou's heart understands." Ma Zongheng's face was indifferent, and he bowed his head slightly. Cheng Gongde's face trembled, and he suddenly found that this young man was terrifyingly old, and he had a feeling of not leaking, and he sighed secretly in his heart, and he turned his horse and left.

"Lord!! This old fox is insidious and cunning, seeing the wind and rudder, you just let him go like this, if he is in the future!? Zhang Heng's heart was in a hurry, and he was straight, and he screamed when he opened his mouth.

"This man has a lot of troops, and if he fights against him, even if he wins, he will lose a lot of soldiers. What's more, the war is imminent, and we can't afford such losses. At the moment, it is better to do your best to stabilize the shape of Jicheng. Ma Zongheng interrupted Zhang Heng's words, and then explained sharply. When Zhang Heng heard this, he suddenly woke up, and said as if he understood whether he understood or not: "It's still the lord who is powerful, I just listen to you." ”

Although Zhang Heng is an acute son, his nature is good, and whenever he fights, he must be a pawn and brave and fierce, so he is quite loved by Ma Zongheng.

"Okay, put out the fire in the camp first, and then collect the troops. Pang Gong, I still need to trouble you to find out those traitorous villains for me one by one, and when the time comes, I will pick someone to fill the vacant position. Ma Zongheng's face was solemn, and he commanded in a condensed voice. Pang Ming nodded heavily, and two cold lights shot out of his eyes, and replied: "Don't worry, leave it to me, my subordinates will definitely not let go of those traitorous villains!" ”

So, under the command of Ma Zongheng and his soldiers, everyone put out the fire first, and Cheng Gongde also led the private soldiers of the family to withdraw from the school.

The next day, the sun was just rising, and the fire in the school grounds was gradually extinguished. Suddenly, someone came to report, saying that the guards of the north gate and the west gate had fled with their families, and Ma Zongheng learned that he wanted the soldiers to work hard all night, and did not send people to chase and kill, but only called Hu Che'er, Chen Jie and others to be responsible for dealing with the situation at the north gate and the west gate. Hu Che'er and Chen Jie were each ordered to go. Immediately, Ma Zongheng asked Pang Ming and Zhang Heng to divide the surrendered troops, and after last night's fighting, these deployments all suffered heavy losses, and there were less than 4,000 soldiers left in total. In addition, more than 1,000 of them are deployed by Cheng Gongde's henchmen.

According to Ma Zongheng's instructions, Pang Ming first pulled out and captured Cheng Gongde's henchmen. The men tried to resist, but one of them was immediately hacked to death by Ma Zongheng's sword. Ma Zongheng has never been soft on these sinister villains, and he is also eager to show his prestige, if he can't quickly convince everyone, he will first make everyone fearful.

Of course, Ma Zongheng also understands that it is impossible to convince the public by fear alone, and asked Pang Ming to choose a talented successor. Immediately, Pang Ming found out several generals who had a bad style on weekdays and were close to Li Jin, Cheng Yi and other anti-thieves.

"These people are treacherous, I should have killed them all, and spared them a dog's life, but for the sake of their lack of insistence on fighting last night to reduce innocent damage. In addition, our horse has always had clear rewards and punishments, and all important positions in the army are occupied by those with merit and talent. As long as you obey the military orders and work hard to kill the enemy, you will definitely get ahead one day! Ma Zongheng's eyes were impressive, and the words were sonorous and powerful, but everyone didn't believe it, because they all knew that Han Sui and Wang Yu's soldiers and horses were about to arrive, and Jicheng would change hands again, and surrendering Ma Zongheng was just an expedient measure.

Then again, how did Ma Zongheng take Jicheng? It turned out that Ma Zongheng heard that Li Jin and Cheng Gongde were suspicious of each other because of Wang Yu and Han Sui's march, so he planned and ordered Pang Rou and others to sneak back to Jicheng again, waiting for news. Immediately, he let Cao Jin see the opportunity to act, but seeing the chaos in the city, he took advantage of the drunkenness of his cousin Wang He, seized the east gate, and let his soldiers and horses enter the city.

Originally, Ma Zongheng was only sixty percent sure, but he was afraid that he couldn't hide it from Cheng Gongying. On that day, the reason why he was ecstatic was precisely because Cheng Gongying took the initiative to send it to the door and relieved his worries, and later in order to be foolproof, he bribed Cheng Gongying's entourage and let them falsely report that Cheng Gongying was ambushed, causing Cheng Gongde to suspect Li Jin.

As Ma Zongheng expected, this battle can be said to be a beautiful victory, and all the soldiers under his command are respectful.

However, it is said that Ma Zongheng reorganized the troops with a vigorous style, and half of the vacant positions were selected from within, and half were inserted into the soldiers under his command. Ma Zongheng was busy until noon, and then went to rest, in order to prevent the surrender of the troops from mutiny, Pang Ming and Hu Che'er took turns to monitor the school grounds. Beigong Feng also asked the Hu soldiers such as the bird slave to assist.

On the other side, Cheng Gongde heard that several of his henchmen in the army had reported that Ma Zongheng had dismissed them from their military positions, and one of them was killed by Ma Zongheng because of resistance. When Cheng Gongde heard this, he secretly thought that Ma Zongheng was quite fierce and ruthless, and if he fought against him, he might not be able to take advantage of it, and his only son was in his hands, so he had to throw a rat trap.

At night, Ma Zongheng didn't have time to familiarize himself with the government of Jicheng, so he began to deal with military affairs, and now he was discussing with Pang and his son and Beigong Feng how to deal with the large number of troops in the city.

"There are more than 4,000 of these soldiers, and I am afraid that less than a third of them are loyal and righteous men who are willing to obey our orders. The remaining two-thirds, as long as Wang Yu and Han Sui's army is killed, there may be defections, desertions, and fear of war at any time. But if it is to divide troops to monitor, it is too much of a waste of troops, not to mention that our army does not have many troops, and we must also prepare for the old fox of Chenggongde. Pang Rou's face was solemn and analyzed them one by one.

Ling Yun was quite reasonable. Fortunately, the lord was far-sighted, and last night he pulled out those traitorous villains from the army with a vigorous wind, and without these people secretly instigating, the number of defections would have been greatly reduced. What's more, many of them still remember the feelings of the commander back then, and the old man thought that it would be better to allocate these people to monitor the rest of the surrendered troops. Jiang is still old and spicy, Pang Ming's words came out, Ma Zongheng's eyes suddenly lit up, but he had a headache, and said in distress: "What Pang Gong said is extremely true, but to select these loyal people from the crowd, I am afraid it will be extremely energy-consuming." ”

"Don't worry about it, lord. Subordinates are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!! Pang Ming hurriedly attended, and said angrily.

Ma Zongheng frowned, and said: "Pang Gong is loyal, but these days, I have been working all day long, and I really can't bear to bother you again." ”

When Pang Rou heard this, she was secretly grateful, and immediately got up and echoed: "Although Rou is not talented, I am willing to help my father." ”

Ma Zongheng sighed lightly, and suddenly felt that he really had no talent under him, and his eyes showed a little gratitude, and said, "Then it's hard for you two fathers and sons." You've been working so hard since last night, so let's go rest and wait until tomorrow to deal with this matter. ”
