Chapter 260: Is There a Difference Between Mediocrity and Good Talent?

"Anton Zhong guarded and guarded several thousands of households, and more than 10,000 elites were defeated by thieves in one fell swoop without even blocking them for a few days, which is really a great misfortune for the family and country. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ma Shilong took the limited battle report at hand, sighed, and looked at the east speechlessly, but his hands trembled slightly, betraying the fierce struggle in his heart at the moment.

"Chief soldier, what should we do now?" The tense atmosphere of the impending catastrophe made the standard camp generals under Hong Chengchou also distressed, after all, once the imperial court asked for the guilt, the first to bear the brunt was the trilateral governor, and as the general of the standard battalion, how would he deal with himself at that time?

Ma Shilong shook his head, his voice was a little depressed, "The situation is so corrupt, let's do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

To tell the truth, he no longer has any hope of stabilizing the situation, whether it is the east or the south, the number of thieves is more than tens of thousands, and the battalion of the superintendent with him is no more than 3,000 people, which is not enough to pacify any way, and rashly throwing into the battlefield is nothing more than a waste of the last strength of the imperial court.

"Then we can't do nothing." The general wanted to mix up some credit, and as a capital for self-protection when the catastrophe was coming, how could he sit back and watch the situation change, so he couldn't help but urge.

"Confused," Ma Shilong couldn't see the calculation in his heart at the moment, but for such people, he just couldn't look down on it, and he couldn't see the overall situation of right and wrong, he only planned for himself.

But at the moment, he has no soldiers at hand, but nominally moderated the supervision of the standard battalion, so he comforted with good words, "The thief army is numerous, and our soldiers are few and far between, if they insist on going their own way, they will inevitably lose the soldiers, and at this moment it is better to be still, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses such as me to threaten the flank of the thief army, so that they can't let go of the city and attack the city, if they dare to come with the whole division, we just fight and go, just drag it out." ”

It's just that this tactic has not been recognized by the generals, so negative, the court will definitely not be able to escape.

Therefore, this general had a resolute attitude, and even did not hesitate to move out of Hong Chengchou to suppress him, "Lord Commander, the governor strictly ordered, immediately march eastward to block the main force of the thief army, if we delay here, we will definitely sit back and watch the thieves sit big, and then the court will ask for guilt, you and I will be difficult to do." ”

The words have been explicit, and they have said it clearly, that is, they want to make meritorious contributions with the 3,000 men and horses of the Supervising and Fubiao Battalion, so as to be able to maintain their position when they are questioned in the future, as for Ma Shilong, a temporary commander in moderation, he does not pay attention to it, if he is forced, he would rather bring people to quell the rebellion himself.

"Eh, then it's up to you," Ma Shilong thought about it for a while, sighed, he could only compromise, he didn't have any soldiers at hand, Hong Chengchou's prior military order was also a request to go east, could he have any other way?

However, he carefully organized the language before he spoke slowly, "The thief army is forty or fifty thousand, and there are cavalry troops to answer, I don't know where the general wants to attack the thief?" ”

Since you can't dissuade you, choose the battlefield carefully to avoid bringing the limited troops and horses at hand into a desperate situation.

Seeing that Ma Shilong agreed to his indirectness, the general was obviously very complacent, but thinking that he was still the nominal commander, he immediately made a compensatory first, "The last general is dedicated to working for the imperial court, and he has offended many words, and he also asks the chief soldier to forgive him." ”

"It's okay," Ma Shilong smiled on his face and gently lifted it, but he had already labeled him as a mediocre in his heart for this general, "Did the general have some plans in his heart?" You might as well say it, and maybe someone can also refer to it with you. ”

"The last general's mind is like this, the main force of the thief army is entrenched in Qingyang and Pingliang," the general pointed to the general outline on the map, and said confidently, "Anbian is at the junction of the two places, but I heard that the thief army has no main force to guard it, so I want to use the elite cavalry to raid, first cut off the back road of the defenders, and then pull it out in one fell swoop, taking it as the basis for standing." ”

Seeing that Ma Shilong was undeniable, his confidence was even more sufficient, and he said that he was even more head-to-head, "Take the Anbian Office, no matter the east enters and the west exits, we are absolutely sure, I intend to take advantage of the enemy's instability, go west to recover Pingyu, Zhenshuo, and then take the Xi'an Office, connect with Gansu Town, and establish a solid defense line in the north, I don't know what the general army thinks?" ”

"Bullshit." Ma Shilong snorted twice in his heart, but with a smile on his face, "I don't know how many soldiers the general has?" ”

"Three thousand elite soldiers," the general was a little confused, but it did not prevent him from saying confidently, you must know that these three thousand governors of the standard battalion, but when Yang He was there, from the group of thieves and soldiers who were recruited, the elite men selected by the good students were all brave and extraordinary, and after they were handed over to Hong Chengchou, they were even more vigorously armed.

Ma Shilong really couldn't listen to it anymore, and mentioned angrily, "In the land of a hundred miles from east to west, there are tens of thousands of enemies, with the advantage of cavalry, cut off in the middle, I will not be able to connect end to end, and then besiege with elites, how can the general deal with himself?" ”

The general shook his head and immediately retorted, "Don't be afraid, the Governor's elite soldiers are in the north, and if I open up Xi'an, I will be connected with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Gansu Town. ”

"How can there be soldiers and horses in Gansu Town?" Ma Shilong almost didn't jump to his feet and scolded, what kind of brain is this, the military generals selected by the imperial court are all such waste?

directly blushed, "If this is the case, three thousand elites, once buried, if the general insists on going his own way, I will repair a letter, go to the governor, and ask the general to lead the troops alone." ”

"Why is this the case?" The general was stunned for a moment, and his tone was not good, and he secretly wanted to respect you for three points, which was nothing more than your previous identity as the governor of Zuodu, but everyone was not subordinate to each other, An Neng was so insulted, and he was angry when he thought about it, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only endure it secretly.

"Get out!" Ma Shilong saw that he had no intention of repenting, and thought that 3,000 soldiers and horses, how innocent, he would let such a mediocre person take him to death, but unfortunately he couldn't stop it, so he could only vent it on him.

Waiting for the general to throw off the tent angrily and leave, Ma Shilong sat down on the big tent tiger chair, closed his eyes for a while, and then relieved himself, "Ma Fubo, come in!" ”

"Lord Commander, what do you command?" Ma Fubo is his personal guard, although it is an uncle and nephew, but the rules in the army are strict, so naturally it is necessary to pay attention to what should be avoided.

Ma Shilong looked at his family, and finally eased his tone, "Grinding ink!" ”

Then he put on the ink and wrote quickly on the table, and Ma Fubo, who was watching, frowned and said nothing, the general wants to be together, the three armies are life, the general is centrifuged, and the three armies are collapsing!

"Immediately order someone, hurry up and send it to the governor of Ningxia Zhenhong, hurry!" Ma Shilong saw that he couldn't stop the general's behavior, so he could only rely on Hong Chengchou's hand to stop it, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, this general was Hong Chengchou's cronies.

Ma Fubo dried the letter, and then carefully put it away, and was about to go out, but when he saw a general running in, he knelt directly on the ground, and saw that his face was covered with blood, and he was shocked.

"Mr. Ma, it's over!" As soon as he entered the house, he fell to the ground and began to cry loudly.

Ma Shilong looked at the soldiers who followed in, stared at the general, and asked loudly, "Why are you so rude?!" ”

When I saw that the general also came in with him, I didn't like it, and when I was thinking about how to delay the time, I heard the voice of the general crying, "Lord Commander, quickly send troops to rescue, His Royal Highness King Han, His Royal Highness King Han has been caught by thieves!" ”

"What ?!!!" Ma Shilong only felt that the world was spinning for a while, he could barely stand, he sat heavily on the chair, his whole body seemed to be emptied, and the whole person could no longer lift a little energy.

It's really this news that stimulates people's brains too much, an unheard of disaster, the emperor has been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, except for the scandals that are ashamed of outsiders such as the civil fort, and nothing else can compare to this, under the rule of the imperial court, a prince was captured by the thief army, this big scandal, once the court knows.

From the governor down to the civil and military officials, they must be held accountable!

In an instant, Ma Shilong actually had the idea of resigning from his official position and returning from illness, not to mention that he had the ambition to serve the country, but this small pair of shoulders couldn't bear such a thing.

Under the intense stimulation, he could barely stand, and he waved his hand directly and scolded, "What a spy, you dare to deceive me, come on, fight out." ”

It's just that everyone was stunned by the news, and no one dared to move.

Ma Fubo was also dislocated at the moment, but he suddenly listened to the order, and immediately said after pondering in his heart, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't drag this person out." ”

Seeing that no one did anything, he came up and dragged it in person, he understood it, Uncle Han was going to wash away his responsibility, King Han was caught by thieves, this is a great crime, once Ma Shilong confirms the news, it is bound to go deep alone and rescue desperately, otherwise the court will never let go of a Zuo Du Governor who sits idly by.

No matter how high his status is, he will not escape death, and with 3,000 soldiers and horses going south and crashing into the group of thieves, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape death, even if he is lucky and does not die, will the thief army not threaten the life of King Han? At that time, it will still be a dead word.

It's better to deny the news from the beginning, anyway, there is a tall man on top when the sky falls, not to mention that Ma Shilong still has the position of Zuo Du Governor of Layer Zhishi, even if it is really discussed, Ma Shilong can shirk it, I was temporarily sent, and I was pulled a strong man, what is the ****?

"My lord, I'm talking about ~woo~woo~" The general was about to continue, but Ma Fubo's eyes were quick, and he was directly slapped regardless of it, and then he was directly blocked by the clothes on his body.

The guards at the door, only then did they react, they came up and pulled the general, and dragged them outside the camp, the general saw the truth at the door, but he didn't dare to come up and ask, if it was fake, Ma Shilong would have no problem with it.

If it's true, he has to be stupid to puncture this hornet's nest! (To be continued.) )
