Chapter 19: The Other Way Up? Is it the other way around?
The letter was written with eight irresponsible words: "At the last minute, I hope that my brother will send it quickly".
Ma Kui understood the time of his launch, the eleventh ugly hour, that is, the next day.
That night, after inspecting the wounded in the camp as usual, Ma Kui returned to his tent, where a dozen officers, large and small, were already waiting for him. Ma Kui ordered the camp tent to be guarded tightly on the left and right, and then slowly walked to the right seat and sat down, tired and haggard.
The officers looked at each other a little, and one of them got up and asked tentatively, "Lord Commander, what is the purpose of summoning us here?" ”
Ma Kui stood up again with a shaken spirit, and Fang Cai's confusion was swept away. He swept his gaze over the people in the room, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I have received a secret letter from His Highness, ordering us to launch it tomorrow." ”
This house was full of loyal guards from Shen Luo's mansion.
They have been incognito for months, born and died, and this is what they are waiting for. Although I had expected it, I couldn't help but feel a little excited. Quite a few stood up and looked at their leader.
Ma Kui looked at the young faces around him, which were full of excitement, nervousness, and even fanaticism. He sighed softly, looked at the roof of the tent, looked at the dim oil lamp hanging on it, and said in a tone of self-talk: "Is there no other way?" That's tens of thousands of lives! ”
The officers, or the guards of the Shen Mansion, were a little silent, things were changing too quickly, His Royal Highness did not expect that the riot in the Qi Kingdom would be so rapid and violent when he made the plan, and more than 100,000 people were gathered in a short period of time. Even now, after several fiascos and the parting of ways by some leaders, there are still nearly 40,000 people.
According to the original plan, they would lead the peasant army to resist all the enemies who attacked the camp for one day, until His Highness completely escaped the pursuit of the Baisheng army and various gods and Buddhas, and then the task was completed, and then there would be brothers to pick them up and retreat from the peasant army.
In this way, the fate of the peasant army was sealed.
These unprofessional spies, without corresponding training, infiltrated the peasant army completely with their enthusiasm and blind fighting. People who work with blood often do bad things because of blood. After a few months of career in the rebel army, these clever guys carefully selected by the Shen Mansion really won the trust and respect of the people around them, and those rebels always looked at them with admiration, obeyed their words, and worshiped them as gods.
There are only a few rare cases where 'trust' is bad, and this seems to be the case. The hot-blooded guards did not learn how to isolate their feelings, they were bound by 'trust'.
Seeing that his subordinates were silent, Ma Kui continued to hoarsely say, "It seems that you also have this concern, I have an idea I want to discuss with you." ”
He paused, and then said, "Our task is to cover His Highness's return to China, this is the bottom line. But on that day, His Royal Highness tasted that he would not accept the order of the king outside. Give me the right to make decisions on the fly, so I have the right to change my plans. His voice grew more resolute and his expression hardened.
"I have decided to make a ruffle tonight, and you will return to your own posts, kill the main general, and control the situation, and there must be no mistakes." Ma Kui said in a deep voice.
An officer stood up and clenched his fists and asked, "Has the commander ever received the approval of His Highness or the Lord?" ”
Ma Kui stared at him coldly and said, "Your Highness has granted me the right to make arbitrary decisions on the spot, is it enough?" ”
The officer shook his head and said, "My subordinates just want to know if our people know about this change?" It is not questioning the authority of the Commander. ”
Ma Kui nodded, and said to everyone in the room: "Since this is the case, they will each go back to the camp to prepare, and they must gather the team in front of the Chinese army tent before the time." ”
The officers sang and left, and Ma Kui said to the officer who asked the question first: "Shi Wei, you stay for a while." ”
The officer reluctantly stopped, silent, until everyone had cleared, and then Ma Kui said to him: "You are wronged to stay here until dawn, is it no problem?" ”
Shi Wei smiled bitterly: "Commander, this will harm His Highness." "I didn't resist, and let the guards tie up.

When the three hundred knights rushed to the gate of the peasant army, they were a little overwhelmed.
The gate was opened, and a bridge was erected over the wide trench.
Qin Lei looked into the camp and saw a few horses galloping out, and the first one was Ma Kui, the deputy commander of the Shen Mansion Guards and the leader of this Infernal Operation.
But he didn't see Shi Wei, who was inseparable from Ma Kui and left and right.
The Qi army quickly reorganized its ranks, and the cavalry had already begun to charge, and the tea kung fu could be killed.
Qin Lei suppressed the suspicion in his heart, made a fist with his right hand behind his back, and the knights clenched their crossbows at their waists, ready to attack His Highness at any time. This batch of crossbows was after the war, Qin Lei felt that his subordinates lacked long-range strike capabilities, so Shen Luo spent a lot of money to buy them, but they were crossbows of the Qi State Yulin Army, although they could not be compared with a few on Qin Lei's body, they were better than nothing. Of course, this is just Qin Lei's opinion.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Kui had already turned over and dismounted and knelt down in front of Qin Lei, and said urgently: "The situation has changed, please Your Highness enter the village first, and let him be honored later." ”
Qin Lei looked at Ma Kui who was kneeling under the horse, forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and his mind was racing, and finally nodded and said, "I'm tired of Brother Ma." ”
More than 300 horsemen did not leave their horses and crossbows, and drove into the camp with their former companions.
The noose twisted, and the bridge was slowly lifted. Thousands of cavalrymen scolded and reined in the reins of their horses, waiting for the baggage battalion to come and build bridges.
~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as Qin Lei entered the village, a black figure came out from the side, and the guards on the left wing raised their crossbows together, and the captain shouted: "Refrigerator!" ”
The man shouted almost simultaneously: "Color TV!" ”
The guard's crossbow hung down slightly.
This person ran to the front, and it was Hou Xin, the leader of the scout squadron, and as soon as he saw Ma Kui, he said to Qin Lei: "Your Highness, please capture this fang first!" ”
Qin Lei looked sideways at Ma Kui, saw that his face was as usual, and winked lightly at the two guards behind Ma Kui, then stretched out his hand to Hou Xin, and said with his index finger slightly bent: "Hugh is talking nonsense, don't apologize to the commander quickly." ”
When Hou Xin saw Qin Lei's code, he stopped shouting, stood under Qin Lei's horse and whispered a few words, and then turned back to the team. When Qin Lei heard this, he forcibly suppressed his anger, pursed his lips, and said to Ma Kui: "Brother Ma, I want an explanation." ”
Ma Kui just begged Qin Lei to speak in the tent, Qin Lei shook his head, and said loudly: "From me, we are all my brothers, and there is nothing to say to them." Brother Ma just said it here. The face of the guard on the side remained unchanged.
Ma Kui also found that his subordinates in the past have changed a lot, and the most obvious is that the discipline is much better than before. He smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, Your Highness is much better than Shangjing, so let the villain report here." ”
