Everyone was a little chilled by this gaze, and Chu Jianming, the county magistrate, moved his mouth, but still didn't say a word. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Glancing at the county Cheng Chu Jianming, Zhao Guohua said coldly, "Everyone, the city defense of Macheng has been taken over by us since today, for the needs of defense, I will issue some orders, I hope you will seriously obey and execute, if someone dares to disobey the yang and the yin, then don't blame me for the black hand......"

Hearing this, Zhixian Fang Jiguang didn't dare to say more, lowered his head, and walked away with a group of subordinates.

Seeing that they were gone, Zhao Guohua smiled and said to Jin Shou: "Jin Qianhu, hold Macheng, you have the greatest merit, please accept Zhao's worship." After speaking, he respectfully bowed to him.

"Leader Zhao is polite, this is the duty of a soldier in the next place." Jin Shou hurriedly waved his hand and said.

After giving the ceremony, Zhao Guohua said: "Jin Qianhu, in order to protect Macheng County and facilitate unified command, I plan to mix your people and mine, what do you think?" ”

Listening to his words, Jin Shouxin said: "I'm afraid that I don't even have enough people for a thousand households now, and I have to rely on others to defend the city in the future, so I can't let my thousand households of about 200 people command thousands of people." Thinking of this, he smiled and said cheerfully: "No problem, as long as it is to protect Macheng, Mr. Zhao will do whatever he thinks is good, and obey the command." ”

Seeing that he was so reasonable, Zhao Guohua was very happy, so he appointed him as the deputy commander of the urban defense of Macheng County. The barracks of Qianhusuo were dilapidated and dirty, Zhao Guohua took out the money to hire craftsmen to repair it, and after cleaning, the dilapidated and dirty barracks of Qianhusuo completely changed its appearance.

Besides, Ma Bo returned to Yingshan and Huoshan with his team dejected, and the combined army of Ma Huihui and Ge Liyan (He Yilong), Zuo Jin Wang (He Jin) and others was stationed here.

Yinghuo Mountain is composed of Yingshan County and Huo County, Huoshan County belongs to the county under the jurisdiction of Lu'an City, Anhui Province, located in the western part of Anhui Province, the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, 120 kilometers away from the provincial capital Hefei. The geomorphological characteristics are "seven mountains, one water, one field, one road and manor"

Huoshan has a long history, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there is Qianyi, the Han Dynasty was set up as Qianxian County, the Sui Dynasty began to call Huoshan County, located in the west of Anhui Province, the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, adjacent to Shucheng County in the east, facing Yuexi County in the south, Jinzhai County and Yingshan County in Hubei Province in the west, bordering Lu'an in the north. The territory is inconvenient, rich in natural resources, beautiful ecological environment, known as "Jinshan Yaoling Famous Tea Land, Zhuhai Sangyuan Hydropower Township".

Yingshan County, belonging to Huanggang City, Hubei Province, is located in the northeast of Hubei Province, at the southern foot of Tiantianzhai, the main peak of Dabie Mountain. It is bordered by Jinzhai County and Huoshan County of Anhui Province in the north, Yuexi and Taihu Lake in the east, Qichun County and Xishui County in Hubei Province in the south, and Luotian in the west. It is known as "eight mountains, one water and one field".

Yinghuo mountainous area, the area is vast, rich in products, but the transportation is inconvenient, and far away from the big city, Ge Li Yan (He Yilong), Zuo Jin Wang (He Jin) and others can long base on this place, take this place as their own nest.

"Young marshal, you said that you went back to see the marshal like this, would he punish you?" Zhang Sigou asked Ma Bodao with concern.

Hearing him say this, Ma Bo rode on the horse, looked back at the direction of Macheng, sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to fight, but I'm worried that it's not someone's opponent, they have more than 7,000 people, and they have a few strange things that will explode, you said that if the fight starts, how many people will we have left?" ”

Looking at the faintly visible stone wall in the distance, Zhang Sigou said approvingly: "What the young marshal said is also true, let's go together to help you testify and prove that your decision is right, the marshal is also a person who can fight, I think he will not blame you after he knows the reason for your withdrawal." ”

"Alas, what I'm worried about is not my father's punishment, but the seizure of this militia in Macheng, although this militia is not too numerous, but it looks well-equipped and well-trained, and there are strange things that can be blown up, if they do it against us, it will be a bit of trouble." Ma Bo said worriedly.

Hearing this, Zhang Sigou smiled and said, "Young marshal, that thing is really powerful, like a flying mine......"

"Flying mines? …… Yes, it's a flying thunder! Ma Bo said.

Zhang Sigou continued: "Young marshal, when you talk to them, I can hear them clearly, they are the militia that was ordered to help suppress him, because they couldn't stand Xiong Wencan's blackmail and turned against him, therefore, as long as we don't take the initiative to recruit them, they won't go against us, Macheng is in their hands, it's better than in the hands of the government." ”

After thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case, Ma Bo couldn't help but smile and scolded: "Four dogs, you have learned to think about the fuck, I thought you would only crawl on a woman's belly......"

"Hehe" smiled, Zhang Sigou said with a smile: "Don't look at who you are fighting with, don't say that a smart person like Xiao is a pig following the young marshal, and it will become smart after a long time." ”

Ma Bo scolded with a smile: "You kid can talk nonsense, does Lao Tzu have such a big ability?" …… Hahahaha......" he laughed as he spoke.

In a village in Huoshan, there are peasant soldiers patrolling back and forth with knives and guns in hand, and a house in the village is wide and bright. From the gate to the hall is heavily guarded, there are guards shaking under the eaves from time to time, the general village of Lao Hui Ma Shouying and Ge Li Yan (He Yilong), Zuo Jin Wang (He Jin) and others is located here, in a big house, several people are discussing the military situation.

In the first month of this year (the tenth year of Chongzhen), Lao Huihui united Cao Cao, Zhang Xianzhong, and the Collapse of the Sky to the east, Anqing warned him, and the imperial court sent Zuo Liangyu to rescue him from Zhongzhou. Lao Hui was defeated, so he led his troops to retreat to the Yingshan and Huoshan areas in the Dabie Mountains, and joined the battalions of Geliyan (He Yilong) and Zuojin Wang (He Jin), who had occupied there for many years.

Revolution and Zuo Zhu have been entrenched here for many years, and they are very good at taking advantage of the dangers of the mountains, resting in the deep mountains in the middle of summer, and then taking the initiative to attack in the autumn, so as to avoid the siege and pursuit of the official army. They are also good at reconnoitring the enemy's situation, and the common people in various localities, including "the Xingbu market peddlers and the like, are mostly used," and they are well aware of the virtual and real movements of the officials and soldiers. According to the enemy's situation, they can adopt the flexible tactics of "fleeing if there are many troops and meeting the enemy when there are few" and "rushing away before the officers and men arrive" and take the initiative to attack. The officers and men of the three provinces of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui could not suppress or catch them, so they had no choice but to turn a blind eye to this stream of rogues entrenched here.

Now after the two groups of men and horses meet, it is even more powerful, but there are more people who need more food, a few days ago Ma Shouying sent his son Ma Bo to fight Macheng County, hoping to seize some grain, cloth, salt back.

"Big brother, it's been a few days since Ma Bo's nephew led the troops to fight Macheng, and I don't know if he beat him down?" Grim said. Geliyan's name is He Yilong, and he is also a leader.

Zuojin Wang He Jin said: "Lao Ge, what did you say, Ma Bo's nephew can be civil and martial, and he brought 30,000 elite soldiers to attack Macheng County, although it is not to explore the bag and take things, but it is also a matter of hand-to-hand, and it will not be too difficult." ”

The eldest brother refers to the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying, because the old Hui Hui is old and has old qualifications, so the leaders of the peasant army, such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Ge Liyan, He Yilong, Zuo Jin, Wang He Jin and others all respect him as the eldest brother.

After listening to the words of the two, Lao Hui Ma Shouying said: "Two brothers, this time Chongzhen Xiao'er sent Xiong Wencan to be the governor of the five provinces, and transferred more than 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress us, according to the intelligence analysis sent by Brother Li and Brother Zhang, this old dog has been mobilized and deployed in Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, Jiangbei, Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Sichuan. ”

"What the eldest brother said is that we can't let that old bear dog take advantage of the loophole." The two said in agreement

After a pause, Zuojin Wang He Jin asked: "Big brother, do you have any purpose in sending Ma Bo's nephew to attack Macheng County this time, in addition to seizing some grain, cloth, and salt?" ”

Glancing at the two of them, Ma Shouying pointed to the map on the wall and said: "Macheng County in Huguang Province, Shangcheng County in Henan Province, Jinzhai County in Anhui Province, these three places are located at the junction of the three provinces, and they are connected together, Macheng is a county of Huangzhou Mansion in Huguang Province, with a large population and good economic conditions. ”

"Oh! So that's the case, the big brother's move can be described as killing three birds with one stone. Ge Li said with a smile.

Looking at the map, Ma Shouying thought about it and said: "If Boer wins Macheng this time, we will take Shangcheng County and Jinzhai County in the next step, so that our actions will be more convenient, and the scope of activities will be larger." ”

While the three of them were talking, a sergeant came in and said, "Report to the marshal and the two deputy marshals, Young Marshal Ma is back......

"Oh? Let's go and greet Bo's nephew together, welcome him to Macheng, and see how much loot he has brought us......" As he spoke, Ge Li He Yilong and Zuo Jin Wang He Jin strode out, and Ma Shouying also walked out with a smile.
