With Ma Xi's condiments to be happy, that night, Ma Xicao commanded the party's dinner on the ship to have a particularly strong joyful atmosphere, and the high-spirited Ma Xicao raised his glass again and again, inviting everyone present to drink, and did not refuse to toast.

Lin Feng took Li Congqian and Liu Qi and several wounded people to attend, and refused many waves of toasts on the grounds of youth and injury, looking at this seemingly over-the-top celebration scene with some strange feelings. Although he knew that in the history of the Dao, Ma Xicao took the Tanzhou City Changsha Mansion in this year, but now he has just rushed to the city, how can he make it as happy as if he had already won it?

Probably feeling the snubbing on Lin Feng's side, Ma Xicao, who had finished a round of wine, turned back, took Lin Feng's hand, and whispered: "Special Envoy Lin, after the banquet, Ma wants to introduce you to a very important person!" ”

Lin Feng nodded in agreement, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what kind of person could make this Shuntian general so excited. However, Lin Feng thought that Ma Xixu said that there was a letter from the city in the evening, and he was basically sure that the person who came must be the internal response in Tanzhou City.

The dinner lasted until near the end of the day, and Ma Xixu, who was full of wine, took Lin Feng's hand, came to the bow of the boat, and looked at the middle of the river.

Lin Feng, who hadn't drunk much wine at night, looked far away, and finally found that there seemed to be a black shadow wriggling in the middle of the river. The dark shadow was getting closer, and it was an inconspicuous boat, without any light on it.

When the boat rowed close to the Langzhou fleet, a small warship met it, picked up the people on board, and then went straight to the command ship.

"It's coming!" Ma Xicao stabbed Lin Feng and said excitedly as he pointed to the small warship.

When they came closer, a soldier on a small warship threw a rope over them, and here they tied a long plank to the rope, and several soldiers on the small boat worked together to pull the plank to the side of the ship. Soon, a young man in black walked quickly along the plank.

Ma Xixu took Lin Feng's hand again and faced the young man. The young man's face was somewhat similar to that of Ma Xixu, but he was much thinner, and he was dressed in tight black clothes tied to his body, and he looked very capable.

"Special Envoy Lin, this is my fifth brother Ma Xichong. Xi Chong, come, come and meet Lord Lin Fenglin, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty! As soon as he entered the cabin, Ma Xicao immediately introduced enthusiastically, turned to Lin Feng again, pointed at Ma Xichong and said, "Xichong is the most capable one of our Ma family, and he is now serving as a supervisor in the Tanzhou Zhan Yi Commander Xu Qiong's army. ”

Lin Feng looked at Ma Xichong, who was about the same age as him, and a smile appeared on his face, and he took the lead in giving his hand.

Ma Xi Chong bowed slightly, immediately got up and stared at Lin Feng and asked, "Lord Lin, may I ask if the raid on Liu Yingyao's command ship and the Yangdong City Gate were all Lord Lin's subordinates?" ”

Lin Feng immediately said with a smile: "Yes." However, all this is because the horse envoy is in line with the heavens and the people, and my Datang soldiers are just taking advantage of their situation, which is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning! ”

Ma Xichong shook his head and praised: "It depends on the battle every time, and it is worthy of being the Tiger of the Tang Dynasty!" can bring out such a strong soldier, Lord Lin is naturally a dragon among people! Ma is extremely impressed! Ha Lu Ha! ”

However, by the candlelight of the cabin, Lin Feng found that Ma Xichong's eyes were all dodging, and there was no smile. This detail immediately made Lin Feng pay attention to this person.

After Ma Xi Chonghan finished making a noise, he turned to Ma Xixuan and said softly: "Third brother, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Ma Xicao's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Special Envoy Lin has traveled thousands of miles for the sake of the Chu State, and he is fighting in battle, what is there to carry Special Envoy Lin on his back?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Ma Xichong's fair-skinned little face was immediately a little sluggish, and he hurriedly apologized to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling that it was okay.

Ma Xichong hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Xu Qiong does mean to sell at a price, but he didn't explicitly mention his conditions, he just said that a mere commander of the battle is not interesting, even if it is a thorn history, it is not meaningful. ”

Ma Xicao's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Do you want to give him a knot?" ”

However, Ma Xicao's angry face immediately turned into a smile, and then said: "I am not very rare to sell the third person in this way!" Forget it, you go back and tell him that if you surrender before the war, I can give him half of the Chu State! ”

Ma Xichong was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that his second brother was going to commit fraud, and immediately nodded with a cruel smile.

At this point, Lin Feng understood, no wonder Ma Xicao once boasted that he would not need to make his own move in the future, and tonight was equivalent to celebrating in advance, it turned out that it was because there was a big internal response like Ma Xichong in the city!

Xu Qiong is now in command of 500 Tanzhou warships, even if there are only 20 soldiers on a boat, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in total, as long as they don't make a move, or even fight back, the defense of the two large pieces of water and land in Xiaoxiao Tanzhou is equal to half of the collapse, and it is strange if this battle is not won!

Ma Xixu continued to ask, "Old Five, how many credible generals and soldiers are there in the city?" ”

Ma Xichong stared at Lin Feng and said softly: "You can guarantee that you can easily take the east gate of Tanzhou City!" ”

Ma Xicao suddenly smiled, patted Ma Xichong's shoulder, and said urgently: "Okay, it really deserves to be my most capable brother!" Don't worry, I mainly can't get used to that despicable and shameless stinky fourth, and I don't like to sit on this King of Chu very much, and you will have to worry more about the affairs of this Chu country in the future! ”

Ma Xichong hurriedly bowed his head to express his gratitude, but the moment he bowed his head, Lin Feng had clearly seen the incomparably eager desire in his eyes.

Alas, I'm afraid that Mahi Calyx is also being used. Lin Feng sighed secretly in his heart, this Ma Xichong is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, I am afraid that after the destruction of Tanzhou City, Ma Xiguang will be killed, and then it will be an open and secret battle between the two brothers Ma Xicao and Ma Xichong.

At this time, Ma Xichong raised his head, faced Lin Feng, and said eagerly: "Because Lord Lin's subordinates are all seeing the head and not the end, there can be a lot of noise inside and outside Tanzhou City, and the vigilance is very strict. I was able to come out tonight, and it was all thanks to the pretext that Permit Qiong was going to the front line to inspect the enemy's situation, and I had to rush back to avoid Permit Qiong waiting anxiously! ”

Ma Xicao patted Ma Xichong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xie Lu Xie Lao Wu, we'll see you in Tanzhou City!" ”

Ma Xichong bowed his hand to the two, lowered his head, covered his face, and quickly got out of the boat and left.

Seeing this, Ma Xixuan looked yawning again, Lin Feng hurriedly said two flattering words, "Let the Prime Minister strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away", then got up to say goodbye and went back to his own warship next to him.

As soon as he returned to his warship, Lin Feng found that there were several more faces on the ship that had not been seen for many days: Lin Renzhao, Wei San, Chen Lifei and other seven brothers, who had been sent out to inquire about the news eight days ago.

Without waiting for Lin Feng's orders, several people told the news they had discovered:

Liu Yan, the assassin of Chenzhou, had 2,000 soldiers in his secret possession, and he never appeared on the battlefield;

The two leaders of the Tujia family, Panlong and Zhao Ye, are not from the same place, and their daily contacts are not very close;

The Jingjiang army currently has only 3,000 soldiers who can fight;

Ning Yuan's army currently has more than 2,000 combatable soldiers;

The mansion of Huang Zongwang, the richest man in Chu State, is located in the northeast corner of Tanzhou City, with a population of nearly 200 people;

……

Hearing this, Lin Feng squinted and thought for a while, then motioned for a few brothers to come up to him and commanded in a low voice.
