As the sky darkened, there were no Tanzhou soldiers at the East City Gate to come to support, except for the soldiers who fled from the South Gate in the chaos, at least 4,000 Tanzhou soldiers died at the East City Gate, the "meat grinder".

Subsequently, Zhu Jinzhong, who leisurely accompanied Ma Xicao into the city, fulfilled his cruel words in the morning, nearly 1,000 wounded Tanzhou soldiers were all cut and killed, and nearly 1,000 surrendered Tanzhou soldiers were also killed.

Lin Feng was pulling Lin Renzhao, who was so tired that he collapsed to the ground, and they were checking the injury, and when they saw this scene, they rushed forward directly. When Lin Feng ran to Ma Xicao and Zhu Jinzhong, he found that these two people were relaxed, looking at the slaughter scene in front of them with a smile.

Lin Feng shook his head and stopped, forget it, these are all good men in the Chu Kingdom, people don't care, what do you care?

Lin Feng turned around to leave, but was seen by Ma Xixu, and immediately shouted: "Special Envoy Lin! ”

Lin Feng was helpless, turned around and stepped forward to salute.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the hero of the Tang Dynasty, and as soon as he makes a move, it is the key point, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats! Lord Lin is even more clever in settling the world and winning thousands of miles away! Ma Xicao's fat face shook, and the words in his mouth were like clouds, and he couldn't help but smash at Lin Feng.

With a smile on his face, Lin Feng replied modestly again and again, completely disappointed in this person in his heart. Anyway, the innocent people of Chu State should not have been trampled and ravaged by these gentlemen, so let me take it!

Listening to the constant screams in his ears, Lin Feng didn't want to stay in this ruthless scene and ugly people for a moment, he turned around and left under the pretext of taking care of his injured brother.

After Lin Feng washed and ate on the warship, Ma Xixu sent someone to send medicine to heal his wounds, and at the same time asked Lin Feng to go to the Taishou Mansion of Yiyang City to discuss the military situation.

When Lin Feng arrived at the scene with Zhang Bin and Cheng Yuehai, he found that this place had become a grand celebration scene, and there were many more generals during the banquet.

As soon as he saw Lin Feng coming, Ma Xixuan stepped forward, took his hand and began to introduce the two officials and generals led by him.

First of all, there is an old man with gray hair, Liu Yan, the assassin of Chenzhou; The second is a middle-aged man who is thin and capable, with a dark face, who is the commander of the infantry army, Zhou Xingfeng.

Zhou Xingfeng is a native of Wuling, Hunan, who was not proper when he was young, and was punished for committing a crime and was tattooed with the word "crime". This attack on Tanzhou, Zhou Xingfeng was responsible for leading the mountain barbarian army, originally wanted to detour from Chenzhou in the south to attack Tanzhou, but because the mountain road is difficult to travel, has not made much progress, heard that the good news here is frequent, urgently dispatched troops to come, he and Panlong, Zhao Ye and others rode horses to the camp to converge.

Lin Feng stepped forward to greet with a smile, but he was muttering in his heart, he didn't know much about the specific process of the Ma brothers' competition for the slot, but he still vaguely remembered that it seemed that it was Liu Yan, Wang Kui, Zhou Xingfeng and others who "sang and I appeared on the political stage of Chu in the next few years", and they simply tossed the good situation of Southern Tang Nachu. Of course, all this has a lot to do with the inaction of the Southern Tang general Bian Hao and the perverse behavior of Yang Jixun and others in Chu.

Liu Yan and Zhou Xingfeng were also very surprised by Lin Feng's youth and heroism, and they also stepped forward to meet Envoy Lin very politely.

After chatting with Liu Yan for a few words, Lin Feng looked at the black characters on Zhou Xingfeng's face, and then looked at the two black-faced brothers behind him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I have a sense of intimacy when I see you!" There are a lot of brothers who have been mistakenly black-faced by my subordinates! These two are Zhang Bin and Cheng Yuehai! ”

Zhou Xingfeng was also a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the two.

Lin Feng stepped forward and hugged the shoulders of Zhang Bin and Zhou Xingfeng, and said loudly: "These brothers of mine, I promised them that the black character would become their greatest glory in the future!" And Brother Zhou, now just past the year of establishment, he has already successfully done it! I believe that Brother Zhou must have put in more effort than others! Lin Feng admired it very much! ”

Zhou Xingfeng was also a little moved, and a shallow smile suddenly appeared on his black face. There are not many people looking at themselves in daily life, and they didn't expect that Lin Feng, who was sharp at this time, would praise himself so much.

At this time, the two leaders of the Tujia family, Panlong and Zhao Ye, stepped forward and asked with a grin: "Lord Lin, where is the man who competed in martial arts that day?" ”

Lin Feng also smiled and said, "Lin Huzi and the other brothers raided Yiyang City today, and they were too tired, so they didn't come!" ”

"It's a man! I'm convinced! Panlong raised his thumb and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Lin, your subordinates can come and go freely on the top of this Yiyang City Wall, how did you do this?" ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "This is our military secret!" When I have a chance in the future, I'll tell Master Pan again! For the Tujia man who seemed to be loyal and thick, Lin Feng subconsciously became vigilant and would not reveal the training content of the special forces to him.

Panlong touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, so he had to walk away stupidly.

Zhao Ye didn't leave, looked at Zhang Bin and Cheng Yuehai behind Lin Feng, and suddenly asked a strange question: "Lord Lin, I don't know what you think of our Tujia family?" ”

Lin Feng followed his gaze, also looked at his two brothers, and said softly: "This question, I suggest you ask my brother to understand it first!" In my eyes, all brothers are equal and all are the same! Under my hands, everyone is treated the same, and everything is rewarded according to merit and treated fairly! In addition, let me tell you, I took in two brothers and sisters with the surname Yuwen in Jinling City, and their ancestors are both Xianbei clan! In my family, they are exactly the same as all the family, there is no difference!

Telling you this, I want to state one of my most basic principles: I have always treated people with a bowl of water, they will have what I can have, and they will definitely be able to do what I can do, but they must not do what I can't do! ”

The reason why Lin Feng said it in such detail was precisely because he saw that Zhao Ye's face was relatively simple, and he took the opportunity to say the principle of ethnic relations in his heart. Equality is the most basic principle, if a person is given some preferential policies because of his or her origin and ethnicity, it is actually just discrimination in another sense, and it is easier to cause contradictions between different ethnic groups.

Zhao Ye nodded thoughtfully, and pulled Zhang Bin and Cheng Yuehai aside to drink.

After the indispensable cold noise, the celebratory dinner was about to begin, when a soldier came in and shouted: "Someone from Tanzhou is handing over the book!" ”

Ma Xicao laughed strangely and said, "Wouldn't it be my brother Xiguang who saw that the situation was not right, and the surrender book came?" ”

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

With a wave of his hand, the soldier at the door ushered an old man in.

Although Ma Xicao was absurd, when he saw this old man, he couldn't help but stand up, bent down and saluted: "I've seen Lord Tuoba!" ”

The person who came was Tuoba Heng. Among the eighteen scholars of the Tiance Mansion convened by Ma Xifan, the former king of Chu, Tuoba Heng was the most upright, and often exhorted Ma Xifan to be self-respecting, and was also respected by the Ma brothers.

Tuoba Heng's face was full of shame, and he didn't answer, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to the person next to him, and put his hands in his sleeves, and stood directly in the corner.

Ma Xicao was not surprised, took the letter and looked at it, didn't read a few lines, and laughed wildly: "The third child is really a nerd, he actually questioned me, saying that our Hunan and Huainan are feuds, what is the difference between you surrendering to Li Jing now and Yuan Tan, the son of Yuan Shao, who bowed to Cao Cao?!" Bah, a thief of the country, deserves to accuse me? ”

Ma Xicao stood up, pointed at Tuoba Heng, and said loudly: "Lord Tuoba, please go back, the third child asks, you just say, the reply of the envoys of General Tiance, Wu'an, Wuping, Jingjiang, and Ningyuan Army is: Don't talk nonsense, our brothers have broken off their love since then, and see you on the battlefield!" ”

Lin Feng almost laughed out loud when he heard this long list of titles on the side, Ma Xixu's self-proclaimed Tiance general is understandable, but the Chu State has divided the four military envoys of Wu'an, Wuping, Jingjiang, and Ningyuan, and he has all drawn them to his name at once, and his purpose and ambition are obvious!

Tuoba Heng's face was calm, and he bowed his hand slightly, turned around and left.

Ma Xicao picked up the wine glass, held it high in the air, and said loudly: "With the help of the special envoy Lin of the Tang Dynasty, my Langzhou army is invincible, and it is only a matter of time before Tanzhou is taken!" Come, brothers, we won't get drunk tonight, and we will send troops to Tanzhou tomorrow morning and take Xiguang Xiao'er! ”

After speaking, Ma Xicao drank it all. During the banquet, everyone agreed and dried up the wine in the cup!

The music began, and a feast began.
