Even if there are people in the Central Army who don't know Ma Qian, as soon as they look at his official uniform, they will know who is coming. The Central Army is not under the control of the local government, but after all, people are the head of the county, and subconsciously people still feel that they are shorter.

The red soldiers who were moving things trembled in their hearts, and they subconsciously put down the things in their hands, and then looked at Ma Qian with big eyes and small eyes.

When several shopkeepers saw that the county chief was coming, they could be regarded as having found the backbone, and rushed forward with a crawl, crying and shouting: "My lord, you can count it, these soldiers not only robbed the things in our restaurant, but also beat people......

Ma Qian glanced at the injured shopkeeper, turned back to his subordinates behind him and said, "Take them down, check them carefully, and bandage them well!"

"Yes, my lord!" Several local soldiers came out, supporting these shopkeepers and walking out of the crowd.

Ma Qian raised his whip, pointed at a central sergeant, and asked, "Where is your leader?"

"What kind of thing are you, why do you see our thousand masters?!" someone in the crowd of the Central Army let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

The voice was not loud, but it was enough for Ma Qian to hear clearly, his nose was almost crooked, he raised his eyes to look at the crowd, and asked, "Who said that? Who is insulting this official?"

The crowd was silent, and no one answered.

Ma Qian angrily turned over and dismounted, strode to the front of the crowd, and asked again: "Who insulted this official just now?

There was still no answer, and no one came forward.

When did Ma Qian suffer such a wretched spirit, not to mention that the other party was just some ordinary soldiers? Without saying a word, he raised his whip and blindly whipped it three times at the crowd.

With three snapping sounds, two soldiers were whipped in the face. The two of them hid their faces and knelt on the ground in unison, blood slowly dripping down the gaps between their fingers.

"How do you beat someone?" Seeing that his companion was wounded, there were immediately red soldiers fighting each other.

"What can I do if I just beat you brutes!" As he spoke, Ma Qian whipped at the crowd continuously.

He is not a warrior, just a civil official, and his own strength is not great. The soldiers have armor on their bodies, and it doesn't hurt to be pumped, but if they are drawn in the face, it will immediately be bloody.

Ma Qian also knew that it was useless to whip the other party's body, so he focused on the soldiers' faces, and after several whips in a row, some soldiers were hit in the face, and they retreated in pain.

At this time, Ma Qian can provoke this batch of central troops. Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Stop!" Immediately after, someone screamed again, and the soldier standing at the front involuntarily threw himself forward and crashed into Ma Qian's body.

Ma Qian was defenseless, and was hit by this soldier firmly, he took three steps back, and then sat on the ground, his eyes wide and round. looked at the Red Soldier in front of him in disbelief.

He is a dignified county head, a third-grade official. Hanging the viscount, he never dreamed that there would be a central sergeant who dared to do it to himself.

Ma Qian didn't expect the central sergeant to dare to hit him, and the sergeant who hit him was also dumbfounded, stunned on the spot, and didn't move. No matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to rush into the county head, he was pushed out by a sudden brute force behind him. As for who pushed him, he had no way to find out, and his mind was blank at this time.

At this moment, I heard someone behind Ma Qian shouting: "Protect your lord!" As he spoke, a figure rushed out from among the many guards. At the same time, it also brought out a long cold light.

When the cold light is gone, it is replaced by a blood light.

The soldier who knocked down Ma Qian was still standing in place, but his head had rolled off his shoulder, and scarlet blood spurted high from his broken neck and scattered like a rain of blood.

The one who came out was not a bystander, it was Lin Haotian who had mixed in with the guards under the pseudonym Ma Wu.

Even if the dark energy in his body was dispersed, his shot was still amazingly fast, and this lightning-fast knife was slashed out, so that no one present reacted, and watching Lin Haotian cut off the soldier's head with a knife, people's faces also changed.

Lin Haotian looked completely as he should be, he didn't even look at the corpse that fell to the ground, shook the blood stains of the knife casually, and then turned around to help Ma Qian up, and asked pretending to be concerned: "My lord is okay?"

At this time, Ma Qian didn't know what to say, he wanted to teach these long-sighted Central Army a lesson, but he didn't want to kill people, and he didn't have the right to execute the Central Army, but the guards below only did it after he was attacked, and it can't be said that he did it wrong, for a while, Ma Qian's thoughts were also a little confused.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Lin Haotian shouted to the other guards: "The adult is injured, come and protect the adult, these thieves who robbed Bai Shuixuan are disrespectful to the adult, and none of them can be let go!"

Hearing his shouts, people woke up like a dream, and all the guards swarmed around Ma Qian, protecting him and retreating again and again. On the other side, the central soldiers were gone, and someone in the crowd shouted: "The native soldiers killed our brothers, and we fought with them!"

The Central Army looked down on the local army in their hearts, and in normal times, they all called the local army native soldiers.

With this man's roar, the anger of the central sergeant was completely ignited, and people gritted their teeth one by one and moved forward in unison.

As soon as they moved, the local troops brought by Ma Qian also immediately rushed forward, the uniforms and armor of the soldiers on both sides were exactly the same, but they belonged to two camps, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

"He's the one who killed us! Brothers, hit me!" I don't know who was the first to shout on the side of the Central Army, and took the lead in making a move, and fought with the local army on the opposite side.

The two sides were already tense, and the atmosphere was tense, and as soon as they moved, it immediately turned into a big weapon fight on the whole field.

Although the soldiers on both sides did not use weapons, they were not polite at all, and used their hands and feet together, so that they had enough strength to hit and kick the opponent's body.

At the beginning, the Central Army, with its well-trained training and momentum, defeated dozens of local armies in a row. However, there are 1,000 people in the local army, and there are only more than 100 people on their side, and as more and more local non-commissioned officers join the battle group, these 100-strong central sergeants are becoming more and more difficult, and many people are pulled to the ground by the local army, and they are beaten and kicked by many non-commissioned officers. Hugging the head of the rat.

The outside of the restaurant has become a pot of porridge, and those central sergeants who are grabbing things in the restaurant also heard the movement, and when people went outside to take a look, they saw that their companions were being beaten by local sergeants.

Soon, hundreds of people on the side of the Central Army also participated in the fight, and the entire street in front of Baishuixuan was full of soldiers on both sides scuffling and fighting.

When the commander of the Central Army ran out of the restaurant with two large jars of wine, he saw such a scene.

He hurriedly put down the jar. Just as he was about to find someone to ask what was going on, Shao Lin ran over quickly and said urgently: "Master Qianfu, it's not good, our brother was hacked to death by the local army!"

"What?" When the commander heard this, his face changed suddenly, and his brother on his side was hacked to death by the local army, and the other party's courage was too great! The commander was also in a fiery temper. He asked angrily, "Where is the murderer? Find out the man!"

"We're looking for it too, but the local army is short. The murderer was hidden, and there were many people who started to fight with us. Shao Lin said with added vinegar.

"Fuck, tell the brothers, don't show mercy, beat me to death!" But now that someone has died on his side, if he doesn't come out, where will he still have prestige in the army in the future, and the brothers below will no longer obey him.

The battle between the central army and the local army became more and more intense, and the two sides fought inextricably.

If the local army is all ordinary soldiers. No matter how many people there are, it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the Central Army, but the local army has guards from the county capital, many of whom are underworld warriors, so the Central Army will not be able to take any advantage.

There was such a large-scale weapon fight in Bai Shui Xuan, and they almost didn't pick up the guys and fight each other, and the news soon spread to Xu Fang.

In the past few days, Xu Fang's sleep has been bad, he is worried about the matter of food and grass, he is depressed and depressed, and now he has heard that there is a fight in the nest on his side, the central army and the local army have fought, the old man's anger has been ignited at once, and the war has reached such a critical point, and there can be a situation in which his own people can still fight his own people, which is simply a puddle of mud that cannot support the wall!

Xu Fang asked the soldier who reported the news what was going on.

The soldier stammered and said, "It was our people who went to rob Bai Shuixuan first, and then the county leader arrived with people and fought with our people. ”

Ma Qian also went, why didn't the prophet make a sound to himself? Xu Xin was dissatisfied, but he still scolded in a deep voice: "Go and rob Bai Shui Xuan? Who is so bold, and who made them do this?"

"It was the people of our army's Sixth Corps who robbed Bai Shuixuan. The soldier said cautiously: "Although it is our people who are at fault first, it is the local army that did it first, and as soon as they make a move, they killed one of our brothers, and our brothers can't bear it anymore and still fight with the other party." ”

The same belongs to the Central Army, and the non-commissioned officers who report the news must of course speak for their own people, and most of what he says is also true.

Kill people on your own side? Xu Fang's heart was even more unhappy after hearing this, and it was just that others didn't understand the rules, so didn't your dignified county head understand the rules? Even if the people of the Central Army were guilty of an unforgivable crime and had more than enough to die, the Central Army would deal with it on its own, so what qualifications did your local officials have to use lynching to execute the officers and men of the Central Army! But then again, the people of the Central Army are really too ignorant, and they just rush to provoke local forces at this critical juncture, isn't this asking for trouble for themselves?

Xu Xin stomped his feet in annoyance, and shouted to the guards below: "Prepare the horse!

Now that Ma Qian has come forward, Xu Fang is no longer easy to hide, not to mention that when it comes to the county head, he can only deal with it in person.

"General, it's actually not a big deal, it's just a little contradiction, why go in person?" A henchman guard who had been following Xu Fang for a long time persuaded in a low voice: "Ma Qian is only the head of a district, so why should the general take him seriously!"

Xu Fang shook his head with a wry smile, sighed softly, and said: "Now the situation is very unfavorable to our side, and because of this, our side should unite and work together to resist the strong enemy." This time, it involved Ma Qian. If I don't come forward, I'm afraid that Ma Qian will have a grudge. The power of the local area should not be underestimated, and the disputes that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible!"

"The villain just thinks that the general is too hard, and he has to do everything himself......" Xu Fang is also a lot old, as a commander. The affairs of the army are enough, and now they have to resolve the long-standing contradictions between the central army and the local army, and the guards below are also very distressed.

Xu Fang smiled at his guards and said softly, "If I don't go, small things may become big trouble, so let's go and see!" He said as he got dressed and asked the guards to help him tie his armor.

The guards couldn't persuade him, and they could only do what he wanted. He also helped him put on his armor, and he prepared his horses and gathered the rest of the guards.

Xu Fang didn't go to fight, but to resolve the conflict, so he didn't bring too many subordinates, only a few guards and fifty guards around him, and the group rode to Baishuixuan.

When they arrived, the fight continued, and they looked up. There are almost no people on the battlefield who do not hang the color, or the helmet is missing. The nose and face are swollen, or the clothes and armor are torn, and the body is still covered with blood. Even after hitting this level, people still have no intention of stopping, shouting and waving their fists, desperately greeting each other's faces and bodies.

Looked at. Xu Fang's anger surged, his face was gloomy like water, he urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and shouted: "Stop!

Don't look at his age, but his voice is amazingly loud. This voice was like thunder in the clear sky, and the soldiers on both sides of the weapon fight could hear it clearly.

People subconsciously turned their heads to look and saw that the person who came was Xu Fang, and the soldiers present were all frightened and shrunk their necks, and those who were still entangled subconsciously let go of each other, and then took several steps back, looking at Xu Fang timidly while gasping.

Xu Fang was appointed by Shi Huai to resist the Jin army in Haowan County, he has the command of the central army, and he also has the right to transfer the local army, whether it is the central army or the local army, seeing Xu Fang is like a mouse seeing a cat.

Seeing that Xu Fang was coming, Ma Qian hurriedly squeezed out of the many guards, walked quickly to Xu Fang's horse, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty has seen the general!"

Looking at Ma Qian, who had a serious face but a vacant gaze, Xu Fang wanted to scold him a few words, but he still endured it, smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "Master Ma doesn't have to be polite." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Since Master Ma is also here, then it's easy to say, I don't know why the soldiers of our army are fighting here?"

Ma Qian's face was straight, and he said: "The general doesn't know, it's the lawlessness of the brothers of the Central Army, openly smashing and robbing Baishuixuan, the lower officials heard the news and led the team to arrive, I wanted to stop the brothers of the Central Army, but they didn't listen to persuasion, so I had to ...... it."

Xu Fang nodded, raised his eyes to look at the Central Army, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is your leader?"

"General, the villain is here!" Seeing that the old marshals were coming, the commander also realized that the matter was serious, and rushed forward at a trot, knelt on the ground with a plop, and bowed his head to salute.

Xu put down and looked at him, and asked, "You brought someone to rob Bai Shuixuan?" He originally thought that the leader of his side was at least a corps commander, but he didn't expect that it was only a thousand commanders, and this person was really bold enough.

The commander knelt on the ground, sweating like rain, and whispered: "Yes! After a pause, he continued: "General, the reason why we fought with the local army was because they deceived people too much, and they cut people when they came, and the brothers were really angry, so they fought with them." As he spoke, he turned back and shouted to the back, "Quick, bring the brother who was killed just now." ”

As he spoke, there was a commotion in the crowd of the Central Army, and then, four soldiers carried the door panel and carried the slain Red Soldier over.

The commander of the thousand soldiers looked sad and said: "Even if we are at fault first, the local army should not have killed this brother and cut off this brother's head with one sword!"

Xu Fang turned over and dismounted, walked to the corpse, lifted the corner of the cloak covering the corpse, and then slowly lowered it again.

This is simply an unnecessary death or injury, but it is a pity that this soldier did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own people. He turned his head to look at Ma Qian and said, "Master Ma, the brothers of the Central Army are at fault, the old man is the commander-in-chief, and he will give you justice, but you connive at your subordinates and kill the brothers of the Central Army, this is a bit too much!"

Why don't you say that they came to rob my restaurant first?! Ma Qian was unhappy in his heart, but Xu Fang was a general after all, several levels older than him, and he didn't dare to speak out.

Ma Qian hung his head and was silent.

Seeing this, Xu Fang also knew that he would definitely not be convinced, but if he said more, he was afraid that he would hurt his anger, so he could only endure it again.

He took a deep breath and said to the commander: "Although the brothers of the local army are a little ruthless, it is even more wrong for you to come to rob Bai Shui Xuan. ”

The commander's heart was shocked, his eyes rolled, and he said with a crying voice: "General, the villain can't help it!"

"No way? Is there anyone else you can't do?"

"General, now the brothers can only eat half a full day in the army, and they have to arrange city defenses and resist the enemy's siege, and the brothers are really hungry and have no choice! We are not afraid of death, and it is our glory to sacrifice our lives for the country, but even if we die in battle, the brothers also want to be a full ghost......" As he spoke, the commander first cried, and the central sergeants below also felt the same way, although they did not cry out one by one, they also wiped their tears silently.

Seeing them like this, Xu Fang's heart was not a taste, let the brothers below not have enough to eat and fight hungry, whose responsibility is this, of course, it is the fault of the commander in the army.

"It's the old man's incompetence!" Xu put his hands behind his back and couldn't help but sigh at the sky.

The atmosphere at the scene fell into a state of sadness, and suddenly, one of the four soldiers who came over carrying the corpse instantly pulled out the dagger hidden in his waist, and just walked to Xu Fang's approach, without saying a word, he raised his hand and stabbed.
