"Brother Zichong is polite. If you have something, you might as well say it directly. "Xu Wei has come from Ma Kuo for ten years.

Putting the teacup on the table, Ma Kuo seemed to be a little unsure of where to start, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Ma has one, reluctant to ask, it's just that I'm just ashamed to say it." It is not difficult to understand that a person like him, carrying such a heavy burden, has never defended himself even when he is in prison with his own people. Now he wants to open his mouth to ask for someone, and the inner entanglement can be imagined.

Although Xu Wei couldn't guess his intentions, he knew that his abacus had been empty. smiled. He was relieved: "My brother has come to speak to me. That's trustworthy to me. If you think of me as a friend, just say it. Ma Kuo smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said: "When I was in Wuma Mountain, I often paid attention to the situation between Korea and China. After the new monarch ascended the throne, the courtiers either fought or made peace, but none of them were as firm as Li Boji, although Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and was unswerving. Whether it is the prime minister of the official residence or the Xuanfu of Shaanxi, whether the situation is critical or the situation is improving, it can be implemented from beginning to end.

Such a person, Ma Kuo admires! Now he is the military and political chief of Shaanxi, and he is in a promising place. Presumably it is the time to employ people. "Speaking of which. He glanced at Xu Wei and saw that the other party was listening carefully, so he continued.

"Recruiting the prime minister is a general, and he has made many awards over the years, and he has won the trust of Li Xuanfu. I wondered, can you please introduce Ma in front of Xuanfu Xianggong. I don't want to be a high-ranking official, but I want to have a chance so that I can use what I have learned in my life to fight against gold thieves and wash away the grievances of this body! ”

With Xu Wei's character, it is not difficult to be happy and angry, but at this time, he can't hide his disappointment on his face. As early as a few years ago, he had the idea of asking Ma Kuo to help. But at that time, Ma Kuo's official rank was one level higher than him, which was obviously impossible. and so on, as the commander of the Hedong Righteous Army, and the other party became his subordinate. But at that time, it was not easy for Ma to expand the Zhaode Mansion in Lili, so it was delayed. Finally, now, he is not a big dealer, and this part of Hedong has the right to adjudicate. Ma Zichong is also experiencing a setback, which can be said to be the most appropriate time. Who knows?"

Actually, I was halfway through what I said. He was also a little unhappy in his heart. How? My temple can't accommodate you, why can't this big Buddha? You just want to take refuge in Li Xuanfu and look down on my surname Xu? But when I heard his last words, my heart couldn't help but be touched. Ma Kuo is burdened with infamy, but he has the ambition to fight against the Jurchens and painstakingly runs the Zhaode Mansion. It was broken by Li Zhi again, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties. At this point, he has not forgotten his beliefs, which is commendable.

Although it is a pity that this talent cannot be recruited. But for now, at least, everyone's goal is the same. All to fight the Jurchen invasion. Regardless of whether he was under his own account or working for Li Xuanfu, he generally defended Shaanxi. And, frankly speaking, if Li Gang can reuse him, he will obviously have more room to wield than under his own hands. A gentleman becomes the beauty of a person, although I, Xu Jiu, am not a decent gentleman, but I don't have to do anything to get in the way.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Wei said: "This matter." I will do my best to take care of my brother."

Ma Kuo saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and he was worried about whether he had any difficulties or other ideas. Hearing him say this, he was moved, got up and bowed: "Thank you for the success of the court!" ”

Xu Wei sighed, got up and took his hand and said, "You're welcome, I believe in the ability of my son as a brother." It will definitely impress Li Xuanfu and be reused. ”

Ma Kuo finally had a smile on his face: "I hope so." ”

After talking for a while, Ma Kuo said goodbye and left, and although Xu Wei was lost, he still sent him out of the door in person. After lying in the cold wind for a long time, he shook his head and returned to the room. What do you mean by that? Oh, let me have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.

The next morning, Xu Wei was asleep. I heard the soldiers shouting loudly outside. When he opened his eyes, he jumped up suddenly, and he didn't have time to put on his armor, so he rushed to the door and opened the door and asked, "What's the matter!" ”

"The king's capital, please summon the prime minister to the city!" The soldier replied respectfully.

Shocked, he hurriedly asked, "What is the Jin Army's seizure of the city?" When he heard the answer of "no movement", he was a little relieved and went back to put on his armor. Go straight to the head of the city. Still under the city, I saw Wang Yu, Yang Yan and others leaning on the city from a distance, pointing and pointing. What tricks did the Jurchens play?

Three and two rushed to the city, Wang and Yang heard the movement, and when they turned around and saw him coming, Yang Yan was anxious and said loudly: "Brother Jiu! The Jin army has locked the city! ”

Xu Wei's footsteps suddenly stopped! In the blink of an eye, two arrows shot over, and they opened their eyes to look out of the city! At this glance, I saw that Zijin Tiger's face was cloudy, and I didn't know whether to be happy or worried. About fifty or sixty paces away in front of the moat, a large Jin army was busy. Busy with what? Carrying antlers, horses, and fences, they were lined up one after another, and soldiers dug the ground, and buried sharp wooden stakes with thick bowls at the crossings. Looking further back, I can't go away. Dense enemy soldiers are laying stones!

Lockdown Law! These three. Words are not new to the Song army, when the Jin army attacked Taiyuan for a long time, it was this method used to trap the city, so that the inside and outside could not be communicated, completely isolated! Right now, Withered Su is using this hand, and it's obvious that he doesn't plan to spend it here. In this way, there is only one possibility, he will lead the army south and wave his army in Guanzhong!

The reason why Xu Wei didn't know whether to be happy or worried was because the Jin army had adopted the city lock method, which meant that the other party had nothing to do with Pingyang, and since it couldn't be captured, it could only be besieged. But once this lockdown law is fully formed, it will be difficult for the defenders in the city to want to get out.

"Damn, look, on one side is the operation force, on the other side is the alert force, and if you want to go out and rush at him for a while, you can't do it!" Yang Yan pounded the wall and said quickly.

Xu Wei said casually: "Since you have the intention to lock the city, you naturally have to prevent our army from going out of the city to attack and disturb you." ”

"A humble concubine, he just relies on the abundance of troops. This "lockdown law." Yicheng, don't trap our army in the city and can't get out? Yang Yan asked. These words were said to Wang Yu. He was the original Taiyuan guard, and he was no stranger to the scene in front of him.

Wang Yu sighed suddenly, and said bluntly: "Recruit the princess," the city lock law. Once fully formed, the possibility of breaking out of the siege is very much because if the city is locked, a large army must be left. There are many generals and generals, and even if they move south, there are not a few troops left. ”

The lock-up method is that obstacles such as antlers, horses, and fortifications are surrounded by crossbow robe carts at the head of the city. Whether you are in the army and want to stand out. It is not said that it is completely impossible, but it will pay a heavy price. How many troops do you have in Binh Duong? How many rushes can it hold?

Patrolling all the way along the city, in front of Pingyang Si was the busy figure of the Jin army. Although it is a prefecture castle, it cannot be compared to the majestic scale of Tokyo, and the Jin army has a large number of troops. I'm afraid it won't be long before it's going to be fully locked.

There was a delay, but I'll make up for it later. Brothers who have stayed all night can wait, I'm really sorry, please forgive me.
