Chen Qiubai hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said: "Where is it, this is just a gesture, what a foot to worry about, what a foot to worry about." In addition, I have admired Mr. Zhuge for a long time, and I am fortunate to see him today, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation. With that, the two drank the wine.

Seeing that his two guests were better with each other, they were polite and courteous. Huang Chengyan was also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Hahaha...... Today, the three of us will have a drink here. ”

"How can you miss me after a drink!" At this time, only a word came in from outside the door, and Chen Qiubai knew that it was Ma Ningyuan's voice as soon as he heard it.

Knowing that Ma Ningyuan had walked in, Chen Qiubai hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Huang, the one outside Mr. Zhuge is my deputy general General Ma Ningyuan on this expedition, General Ma must have found this place because I and Yueying fell off the cliff this time." ”

When Huang Chengyan heard that Ma Ningyuan was coming, he was also quite happy and said excitedly: "Okay...... Good time, go and invite this General Ma Ningyuan. ”

So Ma Ningyuan also sat down together, and then the four big men began to drink and chat, and they gradually became familiar with each other.

When the wine was almost finished, Ma Ningyuan suddenly sighed heavily: "Alas. ”

Then after Ma Ningyuan sighed, he immediately looked around, only to find that Chen Qiubai nodded slightly towards him and smiled, could it be that he knew his plan, but this is also for the task of the sect leader anyway, it's not a big deal. But the main Zhuge Liang is still smiling, drinking as if nothing happened.

"Why is General Ma sighing so much, has he encountered anything unpleasant." Huang Chengyan, the old man, was very enthusiastic, and when he saw Ma Ningyuan sighing like this, he immediately asked enthusiastically.

As soon as Ma Ningyuan heard that someone finally answered, he became very energetic, and he was extremely happy in his heart, but he had a bitter face on his face, and said with a sigh: "It's not a secret, General Chen and I were ordered by Lord Cai Mao of Jingzhou to go out of the city to suppress bandits this time, and this time Lord Cai Mao allocated me a total of two or five hundred people. In yesterday's battle, after an arduous struggle, the officers and men of our army finally exterminated the bandits led by Huang Shao. But in addition, there are still two more powerful bandits entrenched in the border of Jingzhou, and the people are the one to the disaster, so that the people are in dire straits. ”

The few words that Ma Ningyuan said really made Chen Qiubai can't help but give a thumbs up, saying that he has been working with this Ma Ningyuan for a long time, and he didn't find that this person is so shameless when he talks big, such a kind of smallpox, the head is the Tao, if it is put in modern society, this person simply has the talent to be an official!

Mr. Huang Chengyan is actually not low in wisdom, but he really doesn't know much about politics, so Mr. Huang said hatefully: "These damn bandits are really out of conscience, and I ask the two generals to make persistent efforts to exterminate the remaining two bandits." The old man toasts the two of them here to express their gratitude to the two of them! After speaking, he raised his glass and saluted Ma Ningyuan and Chen Qiubai.

Zhuge Liang heard Huang Chengyan say this, but he shook his head imperceptibly, he, the future father-in-law! There's really no defense at all, but...... That's it, this time Chen Qiubai and Ma Ningyuan's two generals suppressed bandits, generally speaking, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, so it is better to help them by themselves.

At this time, Ma Ningyuan had already drunk the glass of wine that Huang Chengyan had just served, so he continued to say with a sad face: "Mr. Huang said it very well! But General Chen and I are now intentional about killing thieves, and we can't go back to heaven! After last night's battle, although we eliminated one of the thieves and killed Huang Shao, we also suffered huge losses! Originally, the total number of troops brought out by General Chen Qiubai and I was 500 people, but in yesterday's battle, after the war, more than 300 people died! There are not even 200 brothers who can stay and continue to fight, you say that there are just such a few people, how can you exterminate the next two bandits? ”

Huang Chengyan didn't expect that it would be such a realistic situation, and he felt quite embarrassed, but there was no way, so he also said with a bitter face: "This! How good is this, I heard that there are thousands of thieves in this group, and if the two bandits are all combined, I'm afraid there will be 10,000 smaller! There are only 200 people, how can they beat these bandits! Otherwise, if this is good, you will first go back to Jingzhou and transfer more soldiers and horses to General Cai Mao, as long as you can transfer a few thousand people over, and then add the mighty and brave and resourceful and resourceful of the two generals, you will definitely be able to easily destroy this group of thieves at that time, and then the two will be the great heroes of Jingzhou, the great benefactor! ”

This Huang Chengyan is really, he actually asked him to ask Cai Mao to borrow troops, you must know that the person who ordered the two of them to bring 500 men and horses out to suppress the bandits was Cai Mao. At the beginning, Chen Qiubai also tried his best to give them some more people, but Cai Mao, the old fox, seemed to believe that sending out to suppress the bandits was a deal that had no return, and he didn't want to allocate more people to him.

So Chen Qiubai smiled awkwardly and said: "I think it will be difficult for General Cai Mao to borrow soldiers and horses again, I'm afraid this method will not work, otherwise we should think of other ways." ”

When Huang Chengyan heard Chen Qiubai say this, he was also quite helpless! He could only say with a sad face: "Two hundred people against twenty thousand people, no matter how this battle is fought, there will be no chance of winning, if this bandit is not exterminated for a day, the people of Jingzhou will not be at peace for a day." Do we really want to watch the people of Jingzhou live in dire straits? ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang saw that the heat was almost over, and it was basically his turn to appear, so he said slowly: "This two hundred against ten thousand, the difficulty is quite great, but it does not necessarily mean that two hundred against ten thousand will definitely not win." In my opinion, as long as the time, place, and people are on our side, it is not too difficult to win. ”
