The smoke from the wind choked the two of them to open their eyes, and at this time, no matter how stupid Liu Qi was, he also understood that there were enemy soldiers mixed with the homeless people, and infiltrated Xinye City to take the opportunity to burn down the granary, leaving Xinye City without food to supply the homeless.

"Brother, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, now that Xinye City is empty, and there are enemy soldiers sneaking in, it's very dangerous here." Ma Hong Road.

Liu Qi nodded and followed Ma Hong to evacuate the fire scene, at this moment there were only two guards around the two of them, and the rest of the guards went to fight the fire.

As soon as the two of them left the scene of the fire, a group of homeless people with weapons rushed up.

Ma Hong pulled out the broken sword with one hand, protected Liu Qi with the other hand, and shouted, "Where are the guards? Come and protect Childe. ”

The group of soldiers pretending to be homeless rushed over, the two guards drew their knives and rushed forward, and Ma Hong and Liu Qi turned around and ran. The two guards only blocked for a moment before being cut into meat sauce.

Ma Hong and the two rushed to the scene of the fire again, and Ma Hong hurriedly instructed the soldiers who were fighting the fire to take up arms and fight the soldiers pretending to be homeless.

The fire burned vigorously, and the weapons kept colliding together, crackling fire, spurting blood, and sore arms. Ma Hong didn't know how many swords he wielded, if it weren't for the personal guards around him, I'm afraid that Ma Hong would already be a dead man now. Ma Hong does not have superb martial arts like Gan Ning and Wei Yan, his swordsmanship is not good, but he holds a sharp sword that can kill. The guards around him fell one by one, and finally Ma Hong and Liu Qi dispersed in the scuffle, and when Ma Hong fled into the street alone, he caught a glimpse of two people chasing him in his direction. Ma Hong burrowed into the courtyard of a farmer's house, covered in blood, and he frightened the black-faced man who was chopping wood.

The black-faced man recognized Ma Hong after a closer look, and said, "General Ma, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Hong saw that the black-faced man knew him, so he hurriedly said: "There are people chasing and killing me outside, please save me."

As soon as Ma Hong's words fell, the wooden door of the black-faced man's house was kicked open by the pursuers, and two soldiers with scimitars rushed in, one of them rushed to Ma Hong, and the other was stopped by the black-faced man with a firewood knife, and the black-faced man shouted: "Erwa, the dog is left, the guy out, someone is going to kill General Ma, let's fight with them."

When Erwa and Gou Yu rushed out with a flat pole and a hoe, the black-faced man had already been pierced in the chest by the soldier with a scimitar, but the black-faced man only hugged the soldier and did not let go.

The second baby shouted: "Dad." He picked up the hoe and struck it at the soldier's head, knocking out the soldier's brain.

Ma Hong had been cornered by the soldier with the cutlass in his hand, and the soldier was shocked to see his companion killed, and then was slapped in the face by the dog. Ma Hong took the opportunity to take three steps in a row and stabbed the soldier in the heart with a sword.

Ma Hong was fortunate to get the life of this family of three who desperately rescued each other, but the black-faced man couldn't do it. The black-faced man was lying on the ground holding their son's hand and talking, and Ma Hong stood silently to the side, the corners of his eyes wet.

"Dog leftover, it's not that my father said you, in fact, the lotus man next door to us is good, but it's a little ugly......"

The dog said with tears on his face: "Dad, don't say it, can I marry the lotus?"

"Second baby, the dog is left, after Dad leaves, you have to get along well and don't fight all day long."

"Dad, we won't fight anymore." The second baby and the dog cried bitterly.

"General Ma is a good official, and it's worth it for Dad to die for General Ma......"

The middle-aged man said the last sentence and closed his eyes. Then came the heart-rending cries of the second baby and the dog.

In this world, there are still strangers who are willing to work hard for Ma Hong, the corners of Ma Hong's eyes are wet, he doesn't know what to say to comfort the two brothers, they are the same age as Ma Hong, and their father died for Ma Hong.

Ma Hong suddenly knelt on the ground and said to the dead black-faced man: "Dad, you gave me life, I will definitely live with the second baby and the dog, and I will definitely help them start a family."

Erwa and Gou Yu looked at Ma Hong who was kneeling on the ground crying with tears in their eyes, they didn't expect Juncheng to call a civilian father.

Xuchang, in Xun Yu's mansion, Xun Yu made a cup of hot tea and tasted it slowly. Chen Qun sat opposite Xun Yu in an orderly manner, he picked up the black chess and didn't know where to put it, because Chen Qun was not in the mood to play chess at this moment, and even if he was in a good state, he was not the opponent of his wife and father, so Chen Qun didn't know how to play this move.

Xun Yu slowly took a sip of tea and said: "The chess pieces always have to fall, and sometimes they can win by entering the enemy's interior."

Chen Qun knew which move was the best move after being reminded by Xun Yu, and this chess piece was bound to die if it was put into the opponent's encirclement network, but it could cause a lot of trouble to the opponent, just like a hundred dead soldiers sent out by Yuezhang.

"Xinye's Liu Qi is just a clown jumping off the beam, so there is nothing to worry about. Sun Ce of Jiangdong is just a dog who dares to bark in front of his house, and his teeth can't bite us. Our real enemy is still Yuan Shao, once the lord is defeated, we must move to Chang'an with the Son of Heaven as soon as possible. Xun Yu spoke, the words were not light or heavy, there was no emotion in the words, but it was very comfortable to listen to.

Chen Qun asked, "Didn't my father say that the lord has a great chance of winning?" Isn't my father sure? [Note: The term father-in-law was only used in the Tang Dynasty, and it was absolutely impossible to call his wife's father father-in-law during the Han Dynasty. But is it appropriate to be called a father? Is it better to address your wife and father? Or is it better to be a father? 】

Xun Yu said: "The lord originally had a winning rate of up to two percent, and with Yuan Shao's internal problems, the winning rate of the lord could be increased to forty percent at most, which is already the limit." ”

Chen Qun hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the lord's intention to retreat to Chang'an!" What does father mean? ”

Xun Yu didn't answer Chen Qun's words directly, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Chen Qun said: "With all due respect, if the lord is defeated, if we take the Son of Heaven to Chang'an, it is better to take the Son of Heaven to Liu Biao in Jingzhou." ”

Xun Yu said: "What you said is also a good way, Liu Biao is a member of the Han clan, even if he doesn't go all out to support the Han, he will definitely not usurp the Han." ”

Chen Qun said: "My father didn't follow Yuan Shao back then, but turned to the lord, I think the most important thing is because my father saw that Yuan Shao had the heart to usurp the Han!" ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Yuan Shao is quite powerful, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the heart to help Han." ”

Chen Qun rubbed his eyes and continued to look at the world inside the chessboard.

Xun Yu was loyal to the Han family, so he had to do everything he could to stop Yuan Shao, and the best way to stop Yuan Shao was to persuade Cao Cao to resist Yuan Shao. When Guo Jia finished talking about the theory of ten wins and ten defeats in the main hall, Chen Qun really wanted to laugh, but he had to hold back, because Guo Jia's sycophants slapped the lord's heart. But there was one person who laughed out loud, and that person was Xun Yu, because Xun Yu saw Cao Cao's determination. Guo Jia is good at figuring out people's hearts, and when Guo Jia said to resist Yuan, it means that Cao Cao is ready to die.

Cao Cao's heart is a sharp sword without a hilt, and if you want to hold such a sword, you can only become the hilt of a sharp sword. The only person in this world who can become the hilt of Cao Cao's sword is Xun Yu.
