Li Yan, Kuai Liang, Zou Jing, and Chen Zhen each had their own hearts, and walked into the hall one after another, only to see that a banquet had been prepared inside (in ancient times, the main guests had a table, each with wine and meat, and did not eat at the same table as now), so that the four of them tasted the taste of captivity, Ma Yue, the leader of the eight hundred Liukou, had already sat on the main seat with a golden sword, and said to the four captives: "Please take a seat." ”

The four of them reacted differently, but they showed their hearts and courage.

Chen Zhen nodded flatteringly at Ma Yue, and then sat down tremblingly, this is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Zou Jing's face turned pale in an instant, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition, thinking that Ma Yue was at this banquet, but he was afraid that it was a Hongmen banquet, and the person who came was not good, but this was a suspicious surname.

Kuai Liang smiled, brushed his sleeves to dust off the table, Shi Shiran sat down, and then did not wait for Ma Yue to greet him, he actually turned against the guest and began to pour himself a drink, although he was a prisoner, but he did not have the slightest inferiority complex, self-pity, at a glance, he knew that he was a person with a bold surname, such a person is often the person with the strongest faith.

Li Yan kicked over the wine banquet in front of him, and said, "If you want to kill, you will kill, why bother!?" ”

As soon as Li Yan's words came out, Zou Jing immediately shook up, and Chen Zhen was even more frightened to kneel, only Kuai Liangzi sucked up the cup of Chinese wine with a sound, and slammed his tongue and said: "The positive side is too worried, the leader of Ma Da said that he will hold a banquet to treat each other today, and he has no intention of killing." ”

Ma Yue's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he looked at Kuai Liang and said: "The foot is worthy of being a famous man in Jingxiang, in a word." ”

Li Yan said unrelentingly: "Then what about it?" ”

Ma Yue said: "It's not a secret, I have reached an agreement with He Xian, the housekeeper of He Mansion, He Mansion has 2,000 military horses, and the leader Zhou Cang, easy to replace Old Lady He and the four of you, and I have already agreed in Xia, and the time is set after three days." But before I let you go, there is another word below, don't vomit and be unhappy! ”

Zou Jing and Chen Zhen were overjoyed when they heard this.

Kuai Liang said: "I want to say that after being a famous general, although he is a thief now, he is really helpless?" ”

Li Yan said: "What the foot and the eight hundred rogues have done, they are against the court, against the people, perversely, and the gods and men are angry, although the car is cracked, it is not enough to atone for their sins, and it is not an exaggeration to destroy the nine clans!" ”

Ma Yuehuo stood up, his heart was extremely angry, knowing that today's wine was in vain, and the words he had prepared in his heart were also in vain. If you want to change the opinion of these guys on the Eight Hundred Liukou in their hearts, it is simply a fantasy, and it is even more impossible to force them to change their doors and join the court.

Ma Yue's heart was on fire, and he said sharply: "That's it, since you don't appreciate it, then you still squat in your prison, come here, take me down to take care of my life, from now on, don't give me food, don't drink, starve for three days." ”

……

Wancheng, Yizhuang.

The lanky, lame beggar was crouching in the corner, tearing off a piece of bread and stuffing it into his mouth, apparently hungry, but he choked after a few bites, but fortunately a bowl of noodle soup was handed to him in time.

Liu Yan looked at the beggar with a soft expression and said softly: "Sister, eat slowly, don't choke." ”

Zou Yuniang beside her said curiously: "Sister, how do you know that she is a girl, not a man?" ”

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "Sister Yuniang, don't you just look at her throat, men have Adam's apples." ”

Zou Yuniang couldn't help but sigh: "My sister is really smart, she is beautiful and beautiful, such a lovely person who is one in a million, I really don't know what the heart of the leader of Ma Da is made of, how can I be indifferent to your tenderness." ”

Liu Yan's expression darkened, and she said faintly: "Sister, don't talk about it." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, when Zou Yuniang talked about the leader of the horse, the female beggar's dark and clear eyes lit up for a moment, and then knelt to the ground towards Liu Yan's servant.

"Sister, you have pity on me, take me in as a slave."

……

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and it was time to agree on the exchange of hostages.

Since the death of Qin Jie, Huang Zhong and Wei He led the remnants of the Nanyang army to retreat to the front line of Jianyang, as long as the eight hundred Liukou do not disturb, they will never take the initiative to attack.

There was no abnormality found in the direction of Pheasant County, and Mao San and Niu Si sent back information every once in a while, claiming that only yesterday there were 200 county soldiers who drove thousands of war horses into Pheasant County, and then everything was as usual, and no trace of the officers and soldiers of the brigade was found.

Of course, the heart of defense is indispensable, in order to prevent Huang Zhong and others from taking advantage of the situation when he goes out to seize Wancheng, Ma Yue still made enough arrangements and preparations, Wancheng has been full of eight hundred Liukou exploration horses within a radius of 100 miles, and any wind and grass can be grasped in time.

After everything was arranged, Ma Yue personally took 200 Qingzhou Liukou, escorted Li Yan and other four prisoners, and embarked on the journey to the north to receive military horses in Pheasant County. After all, Ma Yue is a human, not a god, and he doesn't know that the biggest threat is not from the southern Thorn Yang, but from the pheasant county that Ma Yue has never cared about.

Dozens of miles around Pheasant County, thousands of elite Han troops have been waiting for Ma Yue to lead the crowd to come.

……

At the head of Pheasant County, Yuan Shu stood by his sword, his expression was deep, looking at the vast sky thoughtfully.

Jin Shang, who was beside him, looked south with his hand, and suddenly his expression perked up, and he said to Yuan Shu: "General, here." ”

Yuan Shu's expression was awe-inspiring, and he bowed his head suddenly, only to see a cavalry team of more than 200 horsemen slowly galloping from the south, and came to a hundred steps away from Pheasant County to stop the formation, and more than 200 horsemen slowly spread out to the two wings, forming a long snake formation.

Yuan Shu's bright eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of gloom, and asked Jin Shangdao: "Yuan Xiu, has the forage been fed?" ”

Jin Shang bent down and replied respectfully, "According to the general's orders, Chen Shi has already fed." ”

"Good!" Yuan Shu nodded, and asked again, "When is it now?" ”

"It's noon."

"The hour has come!" Yuan Shu said, "Beat the drum and blow the trumpet, open the city gate, and offer war horses!" ”

"Woo~~~"

"Knock Knock~~~"

The sound of bull horns and agitated drums sounded, the closed gates slowly opened, and 2,000 sturdy horses poured out like a tide.

"What a good horse, but it's a pity that it's gone."

On the city tower, Jin Shang shook his head and sighed.

Yuan Shu's expression was frosty, his eyes were clouded, and he was afraid that it would not be long before this batch of military horses would return to his hands!

"Horses, so many horses! In the future, everyone will have horses to ride, hahaha......"

Behind Ma Yue, the rogues couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After the military horse, Yuan Shu appeared at the gate of the city under the escort of dozens of horses, Yuan Shu stood proudly on the side of the horse is the five-flowered, not like the good Zhou Cang, Yuan Shu said loudly: "The leader of the horse, in the words and have faith, from now on, these 2000 military horses are yours, I hope you can also keep your promise." ”

There were already rogue horses to guide and gather the ownerless military horses.

"You can rest assured, although we are thieves, we also know that people will not stand without faith." Ma Yue said loudly and said to Zhou Cang, who was beside Yuan Shu, "Zhou Cang, has General He ever treated you badly?" ”

Zhou Cang said solemnly: "Big leader, Zhou Cang is fortunate not to be dishonored. ”

Yuan Shu said: "Boss Ma, is it possible to exchange hostages now?" ”

Ma Yue said: "Of course. ”

Yuan Shu said: "Okay, three-way drums, you and I release the hostages at the same time, how about it?" ”

Ma Yue's eyes were sharp, he had the heart to regret but he was afraid that Zhou Cang was still in the hands of the officials and soldiers, if he didn't care about Zhou Cang's life or death, he was afraid that his subordinates would be cold, so he rejected the idea of repentance. No matter what, in exchange for 2,000 military horses for just one He Zhen, this transaction is a sure win.

"Knock knock...... Boom! ”

The drums of war rang out heavily at the end, and then stopped abruptly, Zhou Cang rushed out of the official army array, and Li Yan and the four of them escorted He Zhen from the Liukou formation at the same time, each rushing towards the main formation. Hearing the news, Mao Sanzhang, who came to join Ma Yue, took a bow and arrow, intending to shoot He Zhen, but was stopped by Ma Yue.

If you let it go, you will let it go, why shoot He Zhen again? If he angered the current general He Jin, it would not do the eight hundred liukou any good, and Ma Yue was still very clear about this.

ps: Because I went back to my hometown to see my son on the weekend, I can only take time to run an Internet café to update a chapter in the past two days, I hope you understand, Zhou said to go home, the swordsman will definitely break out in the small universe.

There is another question that must be explained, in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, before Dong Zhuo's chaos, the powerful forces in various places were actually not strong, the Han Dynasty was governed by Confucianism, and the centralization of power was very serious, and it was impossible for you to raise thousands of private soldiers with a small landlord, at most a hundred and ten people. After Dong Zhuo, the imperial power declined, and the state pastoral system was restored, and the state pastors in various places had the right to recruit troops independently, and the state pastors needed to recruit volunteers to help, so there were gate valves in various places, such as Xuzhou Mijia is one of the gate valves. This causal relationship must be clarified in the sequence procedure, otherwise, it is easy to be confused about the plot in the book.
