A self-written and self-acted plot of a general turning into a bandit has finally come to an end, and Ma Bin is quite satisfied with the ending.

Nearly 2,000 men and horses were obtained without too many casualties, which is why Ma Bin took great pains to try all kinds of ways to subdue them.

These bandits, or more precisely, the Yellow Turban remnants, are very different from ordinary bandits.

The kind of aggressiveness and the spirit of easily not admitting defeat in their blood are valued by Ma Bin.

Therefore, after recruiting the bandits of the Thirty Roads, Ma Bin gave preferential treatment to the bandit leaders of all walks of life.

In order to prevent them from gathering to make trouble or rebel, and at the same time hoping that they could integrate into his army as soon as possible, Ma Bin dispersed the thirty bandits into various teams under his command.

However, the bandits did not completely disperse along the way.

On the one hand, they had just surrendered, and it was too easy to arouse their antagonism if they were scattered, and on the other hand, there were only about a hundred bandits at most per road, and in Ma Bin's opinion, no matter which general the bandits were assigned to, his generals could completely suppress them.

After dealing with the bandits, Ma Bin and Wang Meng rushed to Ma Mingge together.

Originally, the surrender of the bandits was just a small episode on his way to Ma Mingge, but he never thought that it would take so long.

Along the way, Ma Bin couldn't help but talk about the cooperation of the people in the city.

Although they were initially told that more than 2,000 men were going to live in Midtown temporarily, they were told not to move around at night.

But to Ma Bin's complete surprise, they not only did it, but also did it very well.

Although they later knew that they were all bandits, after learning that Ma Bin was actually in Zhongzhongcheng, the people in the entire city seemed to be completely boiling.

Half of the people are homeless. It was Ma Bin who gave them land to cultivate, and it was Ma Bin who gave them enough to eat. Dressed warmly, so for them, Ma Bin has become a god-like existence.

Although later, before leaving the middle city, the people of Zhongzhong specially entertained Ma Bin and his party, but the gifts they gave were nothing more than the fruits of their farming. Ma Bin still specially arranged for someone to accept it.

In Ma Bin's view, these fruits are what he values the most, if the meal of the people makes Ma Bin feel that his efforts have finally been rewarded, and those fruits make him see hope.

This is the hope of a strong country, and it is also a hope for the future that is constantly pursued.

"Lord, this time all the princes of the Thirty Roads are under your command, it is really gratifying!"

Ma Bin looked at the bandits, and suddenly laughed out loud: "How is it?" What does it feel like to be a bandit leader? ”

When Wang Meng heard this, he smiled rather embarrassedly. He asked rhetorically: "My lord, how does it feel to be the leader of the bandits?" ”

When Ma Bin heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and he didn't say anything more, but quickly rushed to Ma Mingge.

After arriving at Ma Ming Pavilion, Ma Bin did not rest, and after quickly checking the defense of Ma Ming Pavilion and Baishui Pass, Ma Bin sighed: "This Ma Ming Pavilion and Baishui Pass are really heavenly. Heavens! ”

Because I haven't seen Ma Bin for a long time, and I saw Ma Bin with a beard. Zhao Yun didn't care about any courtesy, and said with a smile: "After the lord has this beard, he has become more and more heroic, and Zhao is considering whether to grow a beard!" ”

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Wang Meng, who was standing on the side, immediately smiled and leaned back together.

Ma Bin smiled rather embarrassedly: "There have been too many things in the past few years, and I am so tired and sad that I am a little anxious." I'm in a hurry! ”

Looking in a hurry?

After Zhao Yun and Wang Meng heard such an expression, they couldn't help but laugh again after being stunned for a while.

In fact, he had long known that Ma Bin and Wang Meng were coming, and he had prepared good wine and meat early, but Zhao Yun never expected that it was his lord who would help him fight bandits halfway.

For this matter. Zhao Yun was also quite guilty.

The dignified Wudu is too guarded, and bandits are rampant in the territory under his jurisdiction, but he can't do anything about it, if this is really investigated, he is really to blame.

So after a few people exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Yun knelt down on the ground with a serious expression and said: "Zhao is not effective in suppressing bandits, and I hope that the lord will punish him!" ”

Ma Bin hurriedly helped Zhao Yun up and said, "This is excusable, excusable!" General Ben also tossed for so long and spent so much effort to subdue them! And it is also with the cooperation of you, Yang Fu, Han Zhong and the people of Yuzhong! They're a tough guy! ”

Thinking of this, Ma Bin pondered for a moment, although it was excusable, but Wudu was under Zhao Yun's jurisdiction after all, and among his six counties, the area was the largest, so he also had to give Zhao Yun and the Taishou of the other counties an explanation, otherwise it would be unreasonable to say that there was no punishment or reward.

"Since General Zhao guarded Ma Mingge and Baishui Pass, Liu Zhang's men and horses have never stepped further north, which is a great achievement, so no matter what, the enemy can withstand the sin of ineffective banditry! General Wang, don't you say? ”

When Wang Meng heard this, of course he understood what Ma Bin meant, and he also knew that Ma Bin was a person with clear rewards and punishments, so saying this was just an explanation for the people of the world, so he hurriedly said: "What the lord said, what the lord said!" ”

"I heard that the lord also dispatched a tiger and leopard to ride?"

"This general brought some elite tigers and leopards this time, but the number is very small, the reason why I said to the bandits that they are surrounded by tigers and leopards, it is nothing more than to scare them, those are the people and horses guarding the Dasan Pass, considering that Ma Mingge is far away from the middle of the road, so the general directly mobilized the people and horses of the Dasan Pass. At the beginning, only three hundred people were mobilized, but later it was found that the number of these bandits was too much, so another three or four thousand people were mobilized! ”

Zhao Yun nodded and then invited Ma Bin and Wang Meng into the tent, and the wine and meat were ready.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "The last general will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the lord!" In fact, these wines and meats have been prepared for a long time! ”

"Can you still eat that?"

As soon as Wang Meng's words came out, several people couldn't help but laugh again.

But after laughing and drinking a few glasses of wine, several people brought the topic to the main topic.

Zhao Yun subconsciously looked outside the tent, and after letting the soldiers guarding the camp tent go to a place three zhang away from the camp tent to guard, Zhao Yun whispered: "Is the lord going to send troops to kill Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu?" ”

Ma Bin nodded and said, "The main thing is to kill Liu Zhang." If that Zhang Lu is honest, he can enjoy the fun of being a taishou for a while longer, and if he is not honest, General Ben will destroy him together! ”

Zhao Yun said: "With Yan Pu here, that Zhang Lu will definitely send troops!" ”

"Oh?"

Ma Bin didn't expect that he and Guo Jia would have the same opinion.

Zhao Yun whispered: "The last general also sent a lot of spies to Padang and Yizhou, according to the spies in Padang. That Yan Pu is not only resourceful, but also good at governing the country, and at present, Padang is very well governed by him! What's even more incredible is that Zhang Lu's gods and ghosts have attracted a large number of convincers, and his prestige in Padang is extremely high! This is also a very important reason why Liu Zhang has always sent heavy troops to attack Padang, but has never taken it back. ”

Ma Bin stroked his beard and thought: "According to historical records, when Zhang Lu captured Hanzhong, he also made some divine chatter, and his wife seems to be very good at this. In fact, in the final analysis, he just wants to integrate politics and religion and firmly control the minds of the people! In these days, there are not many people who know how to read, and they are very easy to believe in gods and ghosts! ”

After pondering for a while, Ma Bin said: "If General Zhao is allowed to destroy that Zhang Lu now, how many men and horses will be needed?" ”

"It has to be 50,000 horses!"

"Fifty thousand?"

Hearing this number, Wang Meng was immediately shocked. He felt that Zhao Yun was growing the morale of others and destroying his own prestige.

Now the total number of people in the six counties is only 100,000. Zhang Lu actually used 50,000 horses to attack a mediocre area, Wang Meng really didn't dare to agree.

Seeing that Wang Meng's expression seemed to be a little contemptuous, Ma Bin said: "If General Wang is allowed to attack, how many men does General Wang need?" ”

"Ten thousand is enough!"

Wang Meng's words made Zhao Yun's face flush slightly, but Zhao Yun still insisted on 50,000.

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Ma Bin smiled and said, "What if you attack Liu Zhang?" ”

"Fifty thousand!"

"Five thousand!"

For Wang Meng, the figure of five thousand. Ma Bin shook his head helplessly and said, "Are you letting five thousand men and horses descend outside Liu's Mansion in Chengdu like divine soldiers, and then directly kill Liu Zhang?" ”

Wang Meng said: "It is to attack it unprepared, and take it by surprise!" ”

"I'm afraid you can't do that now, right?"

Zhao Yundao: "Lord Mingjian, then Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu should have gotten the news that the Lord is going to attack them, so they are actively preparing for war now!" These days. The defensive pressure of Ma Ming Pavilion, Baishui Pass, Liangjie Mountain, and Micang Mountain has increased a lot! ”

Ma Bin smiled and said, "It seems that they also sent spies to Nanzheng!" It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! General Zhao, tell me what you think of General Ben's next troops? ”

Zhao Yun said: "The lord should have heard of it, then Xu Rong is really a fierce general, he actually beat Ma Teng's army to the Yuzhong area within half a month, I heard that Dong Zhuo also gave him the title of Hou!" ”

Ma Bin said: "I heard it! I have long heard that Xu Rong is very powerful, but Dong Zhuo didn't trust him before! This time with such hard work and such great achievements, it is appropriate to be crowned a marquis! ”

"What monkey?"

"Dingxi Hou!"

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Wang Meng immediately quipped: "It's nothing more than a monkey in the east who wants to go to the west!" No big deal! ”

When Ma Bin and Zhao Yun heard this, they both smiled.

However, Ma Bin's expression was obviously much more serious than before, and he vaguely felt that the opportunity seemed to have come!

"How many soldiers and horses does Xu Rong have now?"

"I heard that after he won a big battle, Dong Zhuo added a lot of soldiers and horses, and now he has an estimated 20,000 or 30,000 horses under his command! It seems that Dong Zhuo is insisting on destroying Ma Teng! ”

Ma Bin smiled and said: "Ma Hou Ye is hard enough, he fought with Qiang Hu before, and now he fights with Xu Rong!" Fighting endlessly like this, if we mix it up again, it is estimated that the Xiliang he worked so hard to manage will be gone......" (to be continued......
