After only one day, Hu Du had lost twenty-two soldiers, and now, with Wang Yan and himself, there were still twenty-four men in this army. Although he had an absolute advantage in numbers, Hu Du was still hesitant, he didn't dare to make a decision lightly and take people to search for his prey. Hu Du fought with Chen Chi and was slightly injured, and he also understood that it was difficult to take down Chen Chi without ten people. If the troops were divided to investigate, the detachment might be wiped out by Chen Chiquan. If too many soldiers are dispatched, Chen Chi may rush into the stronghold and burn the grain and grass when he sees the opportunity. When the time comes, if there is no food, the morale of the soldiers will be even lower.

At this time, Hu Du did a strange thing, which surprised Ma Hongdu, Hu Du did not take people to search, but took soldiers to train in the stronghold all day. That's right, it's military training.

After Wei Yan learned the news of the assassination, he laughed at Ma Hong and said, "What, I didn't expect it!" It seems that you guessed the winner in the past three days! ”

Ma Hong smiled bitterly and said, "That kid, it's really unexpected." ”

After seeing that Hu Du had been training for three days, Chen Chi left the stronghold with his soldiers on the fourth day and went to search for the enemy.

Chen Chi is hiding not far from the stronghold, he needs to find an opportunity to kill everyone, if he can't kill all of them in seven days, then his family will be killed by Ma Hong every day. Chen Chi's parents are still alive, he has a wife, three sons, and two daughters, although he is not afraid of death, but his family is controlled by Ma Hong. He had to become Ma Hong's puppet and do things for Ma Hong.

Four days had passed, and Hu Du had left the stronghold with his troops, and it was time for him to sneak into the stronghold and burn the grain and grass. But when Chen Chi sneaked into the stronghold with two ghost pawns, he couldn't find any grain and grass, could it be that these grains and grass couldn't disappear out of thin air? Obviously, he saw clearly in the shadows that those soldiers didn't carry much grain and grass, so why was the grain and grass missing? The grain and grass must have been hidden, and in the past three days, Chen Chi has burned all the grain and grass in other strongholds, leaving only a few days of grain and grass, even if the fox goes out, he can't collect the grain and grass.

"See if there's any new soil around?"

Chen Chi gestured to the two ghost pawns, and then began to search around, and finally found a cat in the corner, and there was a lot of new soil around the land. After Chen Chi ordered two ghost guards to clean up the believers, they found that the new soil was covered with a layer of wooden planks.

"It looks like the grain and grass are right underneath, pulling the planks apart."

The moment the two ghost pawns removed the plank, they found five people lying in the pit under the plank, each of whom had a repeating crossbow. At the moment of seeing the light, five crossbows were fired in unison, and the two ghost pawns had no time to dodge and were killed. Chen Chi reacted sensitively, but **** hit two arrows in a row, turned around and fled. Fox Du led people to jump out of the dirt pit, and chased Chen Chi with a repeating crossbow in his hand.

The results soon came out, Chen Chi was arrested, and the rest were all killed. When Hu Du and Wang Yan came to Ma Hong with Chen Chi. Ma Hong agreed to enter the military academy and all expenses were borne by the academy.

"Taishou, you're the dean, so you should be my teacher, right?" Fox Du asked.

Ma Hong nodded and said, "So to speak." ”

Hu Du knelt on his knees and saluted Ma Hongxing: "Taishou, are you willing to accept me as an apprentice?" ”

"What?" Ma Hong was a little surprised.

"I want to be a teacher."

"Oh? Why, is it appropriate that you and I are almost the same age? ”

"It's a good fit." Fox Du raised his head and looked at Ma Hong with a determined look.

Ma Hong smiled, stretched out his hand to help the fox and said, "Okay." ”

"Teacher, in fact, the two of us have the same surname, if we want to trace the roots, we are likely to be of the same clan." Fox Du said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ma Hong asked with some surprise.

"In the next surname Ma, because he was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, he followed his grandfather's surname. I heard my grandfather say that my horse surname was originally migrated from Yicheng, Jingzhou. ”

"Oh? What a coincidence. Ma Hong picked up the fox and smiled.

The names of the horses of the Three Kingdoms, in addition to the family of Xiliang Ma Chao, there are also Ma is Wuchang, and the rest should be Ma Zhong, the marksman of Eastern Wu and Ma Zhong of Shu Han. It seems that the young man in front of him now should be Ma Zhong's Ma Zhong, Shu Han's Ma Zhong. It seems that a treasure has been picked up.

After Gan Ning took Wudu County, because Liu Biao didn't trust Gan Ning, he wanted his nephew Liu Pan to go to Wudu County to be the Taishou, and because he needed to control Jingnan, if Liu Pan was allowed to go to Wudu County, then his control over Changsha would become even lower. In the end, Kuai Yue made a plan to move all the people of Wudu County to Hanzhong County, which was Ma Hong's strategy, but he just told Liu Biao about it. Wudu is too far away, if it can't be controlled, it is better to transfer a large number of Wudu's population to Hanzhong, Liu Biao agreed.

In the eighth year of Jian'an, in January, Ma Hong's secret department Thorn Mei intercepted the correspondence between Cao Cao and Cai Mao, and Thorn Mei sent the letter to Xiangyang County Commander Xi Zhen, and Xi Zhen presented it to Liu Biao. Liu Biao finished reading the letter and did not speak. Write to the imperial court and ask Xi Zhen to guard the military capital and guard the military capital with Gan Ning.

At that time, after Ma Teng defeated Han Sui, he fought with the warlords of Xiliang for many years, and Ma Teng died in ambush when he was fighting with Yang Qiu. Because of the suddenness of the incident, he died before he could explain who was the heir, and the eldest son Ma Chao thought that he was the rightful successor, and Ma Xiu, who was the half-mother of Ma Chao, and Ma Tie did not have a good relationship with Ma Chao. Ma Xiu and Ma Tie occupied Hanyang County and Longxi County and did not listen to Ma Chao's command. Ma Chao led the army to kill Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng led his troops to surrender to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning was surrendered. Ma Play and Cheng Yi led the troops to retreat to Dunhuang County to continue to resist Ma Chao. After Ma Chao forced Ma Chengyi to Dunhuang County, he saw that it was difficult to take down the two for a while, so he collected his troops and went to Hanyang County to ask Ma Xiu and Ma Tie for their crimes.

Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Yunlu are the same mother, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Chao are not close, but Ma Yunlu and Ma Chao have a good relationship. When Ma Yunlu learned the news that his father died on the battlefield, he wanted to return to Xiliang. The timing of Ma Teng's death was just right for Ma Hong, Ma Hong squeezed out two tears in front of Ma Yunlu, and sent someone to escort Ma Yunlu back to Xiliang first, and then immediately ordered 10,000 troops to go to Xiliang with Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan.

Under Ma Hong's instructions, Gan Ning and Xi Zhen reorganized their troops, sent grain, grass and weapons to Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, and expressed their willingness to assist Ma Tie and Ma Xiu.

Ma Chao thought that he had a good relationship with Ma Hong, but he didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Ma Hong would actually stand on the side of Ma Tie and Ma Xiu. Ma Chao angrily scolded Ma Yunlu, he thought in his heart that Ma Yunlu had made a ghost. In fact, even if Ma Chao and Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Yunlu are siblings, Ma Hong will still stand on the side of Ma Tie and Ma Xiu at this time, because helping the weak to fight the strong is Ma Hong's favorite thing to do.

Ma Chao was angry and led his troops to attack Ma Xiu, Ma Xiu couldn't resist Ma Chao, and sent someone to Gan Ning for help, Gan Ning personally led 5,000 soldiers to block Ma Chao, and fought fiercely in Hanyang County for several months. Ma Yunlu rushed to Ji County, Hanyang County.

As soon as Ma Yunlu saw Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, he wanted to persuade them to make peace with Ma Chao.

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense! Who is Ma Chao, don't you know? Even if Ma Tie and I were his brothers, he wouldn't frown when he killed us. ”

Ma Xiu's eyes widened, and he stared at Ma Yunlu and said angrily.

Ma Xiu has a gentle personality on weekdays, and he is the best for Ma Yunlu, but now he suddenly reprimanded Ma Yunlu, Ma Yunlu felt aggrieved, tears rolled in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "My father just died, you will kill each other, if my father has knowledge under the spring......"

"Enough! Younger sister! Do you know how my father died? Matthew gritted his teeth.

Gan Ning on the side drew a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth in the corner where no one was noticed.

"Didn't my father fall into an ambush when he was fighting against Yang Qiu?"

As Ma Yunlu spoke, tears rolled out of his eyes.

"Innocent! Amusing! Have I ever heard that my father was killed by Ma Chao! Matthew shouted.

"How could it! \'

Ma Yunlu trembled and almost collapsed on the ground, Ma Tie hurriedly stepped forward to support Ma Yunlu, and said in a low voice: "Father was ambushed by Yang Qiu and was surrounded, but the eldest brother was delayed, his army was only ten miles away from his father at that time, but it arrived a day later. ”

"How so? …… How can the eldest brother not be saved when he dies? It must be a mistake, it must be a mistake. ”

Ma Yunlu couldn't cry anymore.

"The eldest brother wants to become the lord of Xiliang the most, you and I both know this, but my father has not confirmed the heir, this heir must be chosen between the eldest brother and the second brother Ma Xiu. If his father dies suddenly, then he is the most reasonable heir. Isn't it? ”

Ma Tie's fingers trembling as he held Ma Yunlu, and his voice sounded very uncomfortable.
