Chapter Seventy-Six: Ma Zhong Leads the Troops

Ma Zhong was originally from Jingzhou, but the Jingzhou scholar clan was strong, and it was difficult for ordinary people like Ma Zhong to live, that is, the flood that year, Jingzhou did not rescue victims like Ma Zhong. www.biquge.info As soon as Ma Zhong discussed with several families who were also suffering, he came to Shangyong in a group, but he didn't expect to be really settled, and his life was very comfortable in the past few years. Ma Zhong is literate, when he was a child, Ma Zhong was someone else's scholar, and the son who Ma Zhong accompanied did not learn anything, but Ma Zhong, a little scholar, knew a lot of words. Since he was a child, Ma Zhong knew that if he wanted to get ahead, he must be able to study, which is the idea of all poor people. Therefore, as long as Ma Zhong has the opportunity, he will never let it go, and over the years, through various ways, Ma Zhong has not only become literate, but also read several military books.

Now Zhou Tai appointed Ma Zhong as the captain of the righteous army, this captain of the righteous army, that is to say, it is only the commander of the righteous army temporarily formed by this disaster, it is not an official military position in Yizhou, and there is not even a military salary, but the righteous army always has food and grass. Ma Zhong didn't feel angry at all, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Captain of the Volunteer Army, Ma Zhong definitely didn't believe that if he performed well in this Zhang Xun invasion, he would not be reused, so Ma Zhong didn't care about these at all.

On the contrary, it was the weapon that Zhou Tai promised that made Ma Zhong very happy, six thousand people Now, no matter what kind of person they are, as long as they take the weapon, it is also six thousand people who can kill. Three thousand spears, three thousand bows and arrows, and thirty thousand arrows, when Ma Zhong moved these things in the treasury, not only Wu Kuang, but also Zhou Tai was surprised. Wu Kuang was a little worried that this was a waste, but Zhou Tai shook his head and said: "Looking at the combination of his three thousand spears and three thousand bows and arrows, there is a way to attack and defend, maybe it can give us a lot of surprises, besides, you have to move these things here to Hanzhong, it is better to give them to them, try it." "Zhou Tai is now more and more interested in this Ma Zhong.

I saw that Ma Zhong chose 3,000 people with thick arms as archers among the 6,000 people, and the remaining 3,000 as spearmen. At this time, I only heard Ma Zhong shouting loudly to the 6,000 people: "There are military regulations in the army, now I will give you generals, only two, the drum sounds, then go forward and kill, as long as the enemy is standing in front of you, you have to die, if he doesn't die, you will die." The second is to sing gold, then retreat, even if you have gold in front of you, you have to retreat, if you dare to stop and pick it up, come back and behead you. Anyone who dares to move at any time but these two is a deserter, and a deserter must die. When your family went to Hanzhong, and the adults returned to Hanzhong and drove away the thieves, and when our Shangyong family came to ask about you, everyone told your family that you were a deserter, and you think about it, what will happen to your family, and how will you live in the future. Tell me, would you like to be a deserter? ”

Zhou Tai said to Wu Kuang with a smile: "It's a little interesting, the new army has been formed, there has been no big war, I always don't know the cruelty, and what I am most afraid of when the time comes, is to run away from the battle, this Ma Zhong doesn't teach anything, first teaches military regulations, he is a talent, if he doesn't die in this battle, he must recommend this person to the lord." ”

Wu Kuang: "General, no matter what, you can't die, now there is only General Zhang in Hanzhong, and it is difficult for the lord to return to Hanzhong in a short time, and Hanzhong needs you." Zhou Tai laughed: "If you hadn't met the lord, now you would be just a water scourge on the Yangtze River, the lord's great kindness, you should repay you with death." But if you want to die, he Zhang Jiangong is not qualified enough, I am four thousand children, I am a dragon in the water, and I am also a tiger when I go ashore. ”

Outside the city of Xicheng, it is now Zhang Xun's camp. I saw a burly general, it was Zhang Xun, there were only two or three scribes under the account, and the other dozen or so people were all generals with fresh armor. Zhang Xun: "How is Zhang Ling?" A tiger general stepped forward: "Marshal, General Zhang has broken through Fangling and destroyed the enemy's naval army." ”

Zhang Xun: "Break? I'm afraid that someone let it out, this way to attack, except for the first day of the big battle, now Shangyong's nearly 10,000 army has been wiped out, how many of our army has been wiped out? The enemy army is to preserve its strength and take the initiative to retreat, and this initiative to retreat and rout are two different things, so you should not be careless. ”

"Fangling is the front fort of Yizhou to defend Jingzhou, now our army is dispatching, Jingzhou is not an ally of our army, let Zhang Ling defend Fangling, and order him to closely monitor the direction of Jingzhou, if he can't defend Fangling with a 5,000-strong army, he doesn't have to come back to see Ben Shuai." Yuan's army marched all the way, coupled with Wu Kuang and Zhou Tai's successive defeats and retreats, few of these generals were not proud, and they all thought that Yizhou's soldiers and horses were vulnerable. Zhang Xun knew that Chen Lin's soldiers and horses were definitely not so easy to bully.

Zhang Xun ignored the generals, looked at the map again, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it turns out that I want to lengthen a certain battle line." At this time, a scribe with a smiling face said: "Dashuai, now every day Diao people leave the county and go west, which greatly hinders our army, Dashuai, it is better to send troops to kill them." ”

The loud bang of "nonsense" startled the smiling scribe. "The people are simple, and now the people are going west, which means that the people are concerned about Yizhou, and it shows that Yizhou is governed by the people. Isn't the people here hating our army to the core? Zhang Xun was furious, and the scribe bowed his head and did not return his mouth, but in his heart he was full of contempt, just a group of untouchables. In the end, the scribe couldn't listen anymore and said, "Boss, since this is the case, go and deal with it." He stepped back with a proud face. Zhang Xun saw this person's appearance and scolded: "If it weren't for the sake of you being Lu Jun's disciple, hum." ”

"Report, Dashuai, the enemy army in Shangyong County suddenly left the east of the city and camped thirty miles east of Shangyong City, with about 10,000 troops."

"10,000, 10,000 troops, is all the soldiers and horses of Shangyong County, how can you put on a big war in Shangyong, how can it be?" Zhang Xun was puzzled after listening to the scout's report, it stands to reason that Zhang Xun deduced that Zhou Tai, Wu Kuang and other armies should withdraw their troops and retreat to Hanzhong in the near future, how can they be so unwise, they actually want to put on a posture of resisting Zhang Xun in Shangyong, can they fight, isn't this just a loss of strength.

Zhang Xun couldn't understand it, and shouted: "Master Li-" When he looked up and was about to speak, he saw that the scribe had gone out just now, and Zhang Xun was unhappy again. Yuan Shu appointed this person to Zhang Xun as the chief bookkeeper, it is said that this person is famous and has a bit of a plan, but what this person does is not what Zhang Xun likes. Being proud of his achievements, holding his own identity, looking down on his subordinates, greedy for money and lustful, and retribution, this is what Zhang Xun can summarize at present.

At this time, Zhang Xun was about to ask this person, but he disappeared. Zhang Xun didn't care, and shouted: "The generals listen to the order, immediately prepare the army, and march to the top." Zhang Xun thought to himself, I want to see how 10,000 people can stop my 50,000 army. This time, Zhang Xun did not agree to send troops in principle, but Yuan Shu had an order, and Zhang Xun, the Nanyang Taishou, could only comply. And because of this reason, the soldiers and horses in Nanyang were almost wiped out, with an army of 60,000, which made Zhang Xun very worried, and he could only hope to take Hanzhong as soon as possible, defeat Chen Lin's returning army, and then return to Nanyang.

Ma Zhong, Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai: "Ma Zhong, although there are many people in your righteous army, they have never been on the battlefield, so let's put them behind our army, so let's get used to it first." ”

Ma Zhong: "General Xie understands, general, the enemy army is strong, our army is not as good as our army, general, if our army builds ten fortresses between this camp and Shangyong City, resist the enemy army in turn, block the enemy army as much as possible, and gain time for General Wu." Ma Zhong came up with this way of blocking layer by layer, Zhou Tai's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Okay, the enemy army will arrive tomorrow, today the whole army will set up camp on a large scale, and tomorrow a certain will lead the headquarters to fight first, Ma Zhong, you still lead the righteous army to set up camp quickly." ”

When Ma Zhong heard this, Zhou Tai obviously didn't believe in the strength of the righteous army, but Ma Zhong was not angry, and it could be seen from the process of marching that the righteous army was just a group of righteous soldiers with boiling blood and courage, but it was not as good as the real army. Ma Zhong also knew that now was not the time to argue, so he hurriedly agreed.

On the second day, Zhang Xun really arrived, and Zhou Tai and Ma Zhong chose extremely favorable terrain to camp. At this time, Zhou Tai and Ma Zhong looked outside the camp, and there was a large area of black pressure, and the 50,000 army was really not covered. I saw that Zhou Tai's 4,000 men and horses were silent and expressionless, although the enemy army was much stronger and inevitably a little nervous, but on the whole there was no movement. The rebels were different, and they saw that the 6,000 people were now looking out with their necks stretched, and when they saw a piece of black oppression, all of them were as white as earth, and they were talking loudly.

Ma Zhong looked at it, blushed and glanced at Zhou Tai, seeing that Zhou Tai didn't care, Ma Zhong was ashamed, and ran back to the main camp in anger: "Don't talk, have you forgotten the military regulations, just tens of thousands of thieves, what is it, at the beginning, the three thousand soldiers and horses of the adults pacified Hanzhong, and destroyed more than 100,000 Zhang Xiu's army, and then there was chaos, and the military law was ruthless." Seeing that Ma Zhong didn't seem to be joking, everyone suddenly didn't dare to mess around.

Ma Zhong turned back to Zhou Tai again: "General, none of these people have seen the killing, it is better to let them stay and see how the general fights the enemy army, so that they can have a bottom, and then go to the back to set up a village." "According to the plan, there is nothing to do with Ma Zhong today, Zhou Tai's first battle, Ma Zhong went back and set up the remaining ten li on the camp.

Zhou Tai listened, good guy, you have skills, let these recruits see what the bloody is going on first. Zhou Tai shouted: "Okay," Ma Zhong's bystanders, especially the six thousand recruits, also gave Zhou Tai a sense of glory, and the four thousand troops were the same, thinking in their hearts: "Recruits, take a look, sample." "Four thousand people have risen in momentum because of one of Ma Zhong's proposals. Ma Zhong smiled slightly, ran back to the rebel army, and shouted: "Look at what General Zhou is doing, those four thousand are the real army, this is the army that everyone in Yizhou admires, this is the guarantee for me to live and work in peace and contentment in Yizhou, and then look at you-" All kinds of stimulation and encouragement, Ma Zhong can be said to be all of them.

I saw Zhou Taiyang pointing at the gun and shouting: "Who dares to fight with a certain one." "Domineering.
