Chapter 374: Entering the Village
I looked at General Ma, and I was a little nervous in my heart, at this time I was dealing with the problem of the masked wizard, and what I was most afraid of was that the two sides would go to war.
"Alas, that's a long story!"
But I didn't expect this General Ma to shake his head helplessly, and let out a long sigh, which caught me a little off guard, what happened?
"However, I am not Zhang Xianzhong's outpost, please rest assured of this, general!"
Seeing that I was still looking at him nervously, General Ma's face eased, and this reassured me a lot. As long as he is not sent by Zhang Xianzhong, then it will not be easy for us to fight with each other.
But if this General Ma wasn't Zhang Xianzhong's outpost, then what did he mean by coming to Yunnan? Could it be that he and Zhang Xianzhong are done playing?
It's also unlikely, how can it be so easy to finish the game, one is a king, the other is a minister, and they are now in a critical moment, it is unlikely that such a thing will happen.
"In that case, why don't you go to our temporary place to rest and tell me what happened to you during this time!"
I smiled, and only then did I relax my vigilance against this general Ma.
"General!"
At this moment, Jin Erpang glanced at me, the meaning is obvious, in his opinion, this General Ma is now from an unknown source, he has not investigated clearly, so he brought this General Ma into the village, itself This General Ma is a big threat, not to mention that he still has the army of the predecessors, once these people go in, it is not a joke, they can be anti-guest at any time.
"It's okay, I fought with him this person, and he can be said to be a decent gentleman, you can trust me about this, don't worry!"
I patted Jin Erfat, this guy still wanted to say something, but seeing that I had already walked over, he had to let out a long sigh and stopped talking.
Although Jin Erpang was still dissatisfied with General Ma's army, he still arranged all these people in the village according to my instructions.
Originally, this village was big enough, there were only a few dozen of us, and it was even more empty to live in the village.
"Tell me, why are you here?"
After dinner, I summoned General Ma to my room alone.
I remember when I came to Yunnan, I told him that if one day he really can't get along, he can come to Yunnan to find me, and my door here is open for him at any time.
I saw that he was sad at the beginning, but after seeing me, he was no longer so depressed, and the whole person returned to the state I was in when I saw him before, and he still had a bit of heroic and bold spirit.
Therefore, I suspect that General Ma came to Yunnan to take refuge in me.
If this is really the case, then this is undoubtedly the biggest good news for me, if so many of his people follow me, then my strength will be greatly increased.
In this way, after solving the problems in this village, I can go further and come up with a big plan, after all, I was expected to use this village as a base, which was a last resort.
Because I have few people and don't have so much military strength, I can only stay here, step by step, and slowly in the forbidden area.
But now that I have General Ma's army, it should be a different matter, I can even slowly attack the city and seize the land, and start to resist Wu Sangui's coming to Yunnan in advance.
"That Zhang Xianzhong is not a master at all, he is good at killing, he slaughtered so many ordinary people, but he has no remorse, no sergeant can still be suspicious of the people below, not long ago, a small group of Qing army sentry troops came. This Zhang Xianzhong ordered me to annihilate it, and I led the army to go, but who would have thought that the news I got was false, where was the small army. ”
Speaking of this, General Ma took a sip of wine with hatred and continued.
"There are 20,000 people who came, and I only have 3,000 soldiers, in desperation, I had to ask Zhang Xianzhong for help, this guy sent the prime minister to come to the rescue, but where did the prime minister have the slightest sergeant ability, leading an army of 50,000 to come, but he alone occupied the military power."
Before General Ma finished speaking, I was furious, in all dynasties and dynasties, the country was defeated in the hands of such traitors.
"You are a general, you are the one who commands the army, the prime minister occupies the military power, and if he doesn't hand over the army to you, can he not lose the battle? This guy is really hateful! ”
After saying that, I wanted to rush back and cut off the head of the traitor and Zhang Xianzhong, I really regret that I didn't kill them at the beginning, and I didn't shoot Zhang Xianzhong with an arrow.
If it weren't for the scruples that he had an army of 100,000 under his command at that time, after killing Zhang Xianzhong, the 100,000 army would inevitably be leaderless, and then there would be a big chaos, and in the end it would be the common people who suffered, I really wouldn't show mercy.
But I didn't expect that this dedication was still disappointing in the end.
"There was a big battle between the armies of the two sides, 50,000 against 20,000, but we were defeated in a mess, retreating one after another, we were attacked by the enemy, and we have never been defeated so badly, which is also the most humiliating battle in my horse's life. But in the end, the prime minister went back to report the military situation, but he laid all the blame on me, this guy is really hateful. ”
When General Ma said this, he couldn't help but leave a few tears, as the saying goes, "Men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place." General Ma wept for the 50,000 soldiers who died innocently, wailed for them, and cried for them.
Since ancient times, the victory or defeat of wars, casualties depend on the commander, an excellent commander, not only can win the war, but also can minimize the casualties and losses, an ordinary commander, many times rely on more people to win the battle, and often kill the enemy 1,000 and lose 800, and the worst commander is undoubtedly this treacherous figure, more than twice as many enemies, but in the end he was defeated, and he was defeated in a mess.
"And what's even more hateful is Zhang Xianzhong, this guy not only didn't check, but also didn't listen to my explanation, blindly listened to the slander of the treacherous minister, and even ordered me to be killed, in desperation, I had to lead the 3,000 people under my command to resist. The traitor was also jealous of my original merits, and the status of the general threatened his power, this guy quickly mobilized 30,000 troops to besiege my 3,000 people, and in the end, we had no choice but to retreat south, 3,000 brothers followed me to kill, and in the end only more than 1,700 people rushed out. ”
Hearing this, I was surprised, what kind of tragic battle did this General Ma experience at that time, 3,000 people against 30,000 troops, not only escaped, but also only half of the dead and wounded.
What kind of height has this General Ma's military ability reached? It's incredible!
"General, you are really a god, 3,000 people fought against 30,000 people, and you were able to escape in the end, and you are only a person who is killed or injured, what a genius general!"
I raised my glass, a glass worthy of my salute.
"Alas, I think that person like that treacherous appearance, even if the army of 100,000 is in his hands, it can't play a role, and we are just lucky, but it's a pity that more than 1,000 of my brothers, they swore to follow me to the death, but in the end they died in the breakthrough battle, I'm really sorry for them!"
General Ma drank the wine in one go, and shed tears when he spoke, which really made people's hearts tingle, such a fierce general, but he was framed instead of being able to meet him, what kind of world is this!
"And what's next for you? Although this army is not as large as Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000 army, for your current situation, more than 1,700 people is not a small number, and the existence of such an army cannot be tolerated by the government here, so it is best for you to choose a good path, and how to feed it is also a problem. ”
I looked at General Ma and said this, in fact, I also have my own little Jiujiu, that is, let it be submitted to me, what I have is money, these people are not afraid of not being able to feed, and there is also food in this village.
"We broke out at that time, and there was indeed no good plan, but I remembered what the general said to me when you left, so that I had a difficult day, so I came to Yunnan to find you, general, you are really a god, and I really knew that I would fall into such a difficult situation one day, so I rested for a few days, and then led the army to Yunnan to find you, hoping that the general would take it in, from now on, I Ma will obey the general's dispatch, but if there is an order, I must obey."
With that, General Ma knelt on one knee.
"General Ma, why are you doing this? We are brothers, I will definitely help you if you are in trouble, but if you kneel down this time, you will let me behave in the future, and I will not sit idly by and ignore the affairs of my brothers. ”
I hurriedly helped General Ma up, to be honest, at this time I felt that I was really not a thing, for my own self-interest to persecute General Ma like this, he was a man, a big general, but I used it like this.
Saying this, I felt that my face was hot, what a hypocritical remark, I could say it, really.
"General, I came to Yunnan to look for you, that is to hope to follow you to make a great career, that Zhang Xianzhong and others have neither talent nor broad mind, working with them, I am blind in this life, although he is also my generation of monarchs, but I ended up like this, I am really remorseful, but you are different, not only have your own military strength, but also have a mind as broad as the sea, I have been with you in this life."
