At this time, Bai Fugui had no intention of eating osmanthus cake, and he was rushing to the camp in the inner city.

At that time, Ma Kuo convened "one punishment, two civility and three martial arts" and Shi Bu to discuss the countermeasures for the return of the white horse. So as not to bother with his tongue, he deliberately concealed the pseudo-tiger. What Ma Kuo said was true, and the time was definitely four days later. Li Wuxiong, one of the three martial arts, did not know the truth and the truth, and wondered what kind of trap Ma Kuo had secretly set up to invite you into the urn.

Ma Rulong advised: The white horse is far away, and it can't last long. You can send Xiao to ride out of the cantonment, the bow and crossbow are stuck inside, the white horse has no ability to attack the city, and if you can't attack for a long time, you will definitely lose your sharpness, so that Xiao Cai can raid its back. If the white horse chases the cavalry, the soldiers in the city will be flanked by the head and tail;

Everyone agreed, and only Li Wuxiong responded: This plan is not appropriate. The white horse's foot strength is better than my Qingjiang cavalry, and it is difficult to win a drowning battle in the wild. Moreover, the cavalry is rushing forward, and it is difficult to form an army to fight again if it is defeated. If the cavalry is dragged by the white horse demon beast outside the city, and the defenders go out of the city to rescue, it seems that they are attacking from head to end, but the real one is just being eaten by the white horse. In my opinion, we should follow the old practice, and it is the best policy to stick to the wall.

Ma Kuo said: General Li's words are deeply worthy of me.

The magistrate said: The golden autumn and October are the time to harvest the grain. The last time Baima besieged the city, it was sixty miles south of the city, and the rice in the east and west of the city survived. If we can't keep the enemy out this time, and then destroy the grain in these two places, it will become a problem to store grain.

Ma Kuo asked: If you harvest as many people as you can, I don't know how much you can save?

The magistrate said: Time is in a hurry, and you can only harvest 30% at most in two days.

Ma Kuo didn't care how much surplus grain and grass there could be, after all, when the ground was cracked, the grain from the storage was preserved, and there was no risk of running out of grain in the short term. What really needs to be worried is the pseudo-tiger and the cat-like family. According to the Wang family, the pseudo-tiger is the sub-saint of the 48,000 demon beasts, and it will never come alone when it comes to Qingjiang again, but will do its best to transform the cat clan and vassals, and the danger of the Qingjiang battle will definitely be better than before. Ma Kuo has always only planned for the worst, and all he thinks about is how to protect Qingjiang City, instead of worrying about the gains and losses of a few grains of grain.

And before he returned to the barracks, he learned from the Wang family that all the pseudo-tiger wanted was the remains of the Xuanhu. This remains are on Li Wuxiong's body, if he is in Qingjiang, the pseudo-tiger will never stop if he does not set foot in Qingjiang City, if he is not there

But he didn't know that the Wang family was also hiding his selfishness, and deliberately omitted the fact that Ma Qing also had a Xuanhu inheritance.

If it was as usual, Ma Kuo would definitely agree to Li Wuxiong's strategy without hesitation, but now that he has the intention to transfer Li Wuxiong out of the city, he deliberately looks embarrassed. Because of the difficulty of his subordinates not to understand and speculate on their intentions, many people jumped out of the plan of seconding Ma Rulong, and said: What kind of drowning in the field is that my Qingjiang Xiao cavalry does not have an advantage, and it is clearly to increase the arrogance of the white horse and destroy his own prestige! Don't forget that there are still 3,000 Mocheng cavalry stationed in the east of the city. The prestige of the red clothes in Mocheng, how can the little White Horse Demon Clan resist it!

Shi Buyan immediately turned his head away, avoiding everyone's gaze, and looked like he didn't care about himself. The person who spoke thought that Shi Bu would definitely echo these words of Yimei Mocheng, but unexpectedly, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and he was stunned to make himself bored, so he had to shut his mouth stupidly. The Li clan's power is deep-rooted, and Li Wuxiong's words also have many supporters, and the two sides are at loggerheads for a while. There was a rift between Li and Ma, and Ma Kuo was the master of the army who knew that the way to lead the army was first and foremost, and he could not be framed by a political opponent because of his private abolition, so he also stalemate and did not express his position.

There was a lot of noise in the tent in the inner city, and angry shouts and reprimands came one after another.

This impasse was finally broken by Ma Qing, who was the least experienced, and he mentioned one thing: When the ground was cracked, I had been lurking in the milk tiger forest and discovered something: although the white horse patrol was strict, it did not go deep into the forest to inspect. It is expected that the white horse demon is running like flying in the grassland, but it can't show its hands and feet when it enters the forest, which may also be used.

Ma Kuo heard something, pressed everyone's opinions, and motioned for Ma Qing to continue.

Ma Qing explained: The so-called corner swing is wonderful when the attacker is surrounded by scattered troops, and the two forces of the defender can tear through the defense line from the middle, so as to achieve the purpose of advancing and retreating freely. The White Horse tribe has never had a strategy, and after the siege of the city, they have always stepped on the four fields and scattered to attack the city. If we are stationed outside, it will only make the White Horse Demon Clan form a formation, and at that time, whether it is a siege or a field battle, the power will only be stronger, and the garrison will be counterproductive in Ming. However, if a small number of elite soldiers are ambushed in the milk tiger forest, firstly, it will not weaken the power of defending the city, and secondly, it can be left behind, and the horse town guards the god's arm bow as an order, and the advance and retreat are based.

Ma Kuo almost made a decision, and Li Wuxiong grabbed the white: the next thing is unknown. How did the town guard get the news about the return of the White Horse, and how can they acquiesce that the White Horse Clan must be more careful and vigilant this time? If the White Horse is just like last time, besieging but not attacking, wouldn't our plans be too much, and even trap a lot of robes in the trap?

A middle-aged school officer under Ma Kuo's tent stepped forward and said: I am Zhao Boyan, the general of the Qingjiang Ranger Battalion. After the White Horse retreated eight days ago, Ma Zhen was ordered to lead the rangers to lurk and follow him. Three days ago, the white horse retreated thousands of miles to recuperate on the spot, during which the white horse demon beasts continued to gather, and the momentum was even better. Last night, the ranger came to report that the white horse had set off to the west, and the target was directed at Qingjiang. If it weren't for Ma Zhenshou's foresight, Qingjiang City would have almost let the White Horse Demon Clan take advantage of the loophole!

Of course, this Zhao Boyan is Ma Kuo's tongue, and what he said is all inherited from Ma Kuo's meaning. With all that said, Li Wuxiong could no longer arbitrarily oppose it.

Ma Kuo continued: Then it all depends on the words of General Ma. So, who wants to lead the troops to lurk in the tiger forest?

Ma Kuo has been quiet, trying his best to transfer Li Wuxiong out of the city without causing criticism. Unexpectedly, Ma Qing immediately stood up without a smile and said: Ma Qing is willing to go!

Ma Kuo's face darkened suddenly, and this good calculation was ruined by Cheng Biting Jin halfway.

In a hurry, Ma Kuo only hastily discussed the matter of the pseudo-tiger and the remains with Ma Rulong, but Ma Qing did not know. In the past, Ma Qing was just a deputy of the criminal supervision team, and he was not qualified to enter the inner city tent to discuss matters. But this time is not that time, Ma Qing is already the new general who defends the city, and he is one of the six most important humerus in Qingjiang. And what he wanted was to relieve Ma Kuo's worries, after all, he was familiar with the geography of the Milk Tiger Forest, and he had dealt with the Turtle Hill clan in the forest, so he could find them for help even if it was not good, and there was really nothing wrong with it.

Ma Rulong, who was under the tent, hurriedly spoke out to stop him: General Ma is excellent in cultivation, but he is still young and unfamiliar with the army, so it may not be appropriate to lead an army alone.

Ma Qing saw that the third uncle stopped him, and he also smelled a strange smell. Originally, he was newly promoted to the position of general, but he did not make an inch, and he said that the third uncle should not oppose his leadership at this time.

Ma Kuo asked hypocritically: Is there a candidate in Rulong's heart?

Ma Rulong responded: General Li is calm and decisive, and he can take this position.

With Li Wuxiong's temperament, he would never be able to say modest words. But he has a mustard in his heart, and he is unwilling to be fiddled with by the Ma brothers like this. He raised his head slightly, tilted his neck sideways, and folded his hands. Although it is a salute, it reveals a sense of disdain and arrogance. He said calmly: "You should receive your orders below." But I'm afraid it won't be able to do it alone, and I hope to get the help of General Ma Xiao.

This time, Ma Qing hesitated to answer, and lowered his head to secretly look at the reaction of the seat.

On the contrary, it was Ma Rulong who took a step forward and said: Seconded below.

Since Ma Rulong agreed, the forces under the wings of the Ma family would no longer object, and there was no objection in the military camp for a while.

Ma Kuo had nothing to say, and immediately sang the military order: select 500 elites, point Li Wuxiong as the captain, and Ma Qingfu him. The next day, he pulled out the camp and lurked in the milk tiger forest for three days, and he was not allowed to smoke from cooking or surround the stream. With the divine arm bow as the command, the first sound of the didi, gallop to the aid of the Qingjiang, the second sound of the didi, behead the white horse, the three rings of the didi, avoid the forest. After returning to the city, all the soldiers were promoted to one level, and they were rewarded according to their military merits.

The strategy of defending the city has finally settled.

Walking out of the tent, Ma Kuo's face was solemn, and he paced above the high wall. Ma Rulong explained to Ma Kuo: The head of the family, just to calm Li Wuxiong's heart, let Qing'er go with him is the best way. And with Yinyuan accompanying him, it is not difficult to ensure that he escapes alone.

Ma Kuo was uneasy but not because of Ma Qing, he said: "Third child, my eyelids have been jumping recently, and I always feel that something bad is about to happen.

Ma Rulong raised his eyebrows and said: Second brother, aren't you the most disdainful of these unwarranted things, why now?

Ma Kuo said: The more I do it, the more I feel that Qingjiang City is not under your control. We seem to have been underestimating something.

Ma Rulong has more or less similar feelings, but the two have exhausted their personnel, and the rest of the matter can only wait for the situation to change. The third brother of the Ma family is the most pragmatic, and he has always stayed away from the mysterious "Heavenly Choice" and "Destiny", since he can't influence others, it is better to do some practical affairs to stabilize the family.

He stubbornly said: Second brother, there is something I know I shouldn't talk about, but I have to say it. Whether it's a pseudo-tiger or a murderer, the sister-in-law is the sister-in-law of the Ma family, and the second brother, you have to leave a face.

Ma Kuo said: Treading the snow and breaking your mouth again, this sixth child is getting more and more mother-in-law, rest assured, like a dragon, how far has the Ma family's road gone, how can he forget his original intention when he set off so quickly. The sister-in-law will always be the sister-in-law of the Ma family, and the Ma family will always be the original Ma family.

Ma Kuo turned his back and looked at the green land under the city. How many times have the six Ma brothers galloped on this hill and grassland, and they thought that they had a thorough understanding of every inch of Qingjiang, but they didn't know that many years later, they looked at it alone and seemed to have a different scene in their eyes.

After taking over the Golden Seal, Ma Kuo's silence became more and more frequent, and Ma Rulong became more and more afraid to disturb Ma Kuo's thinking. The two stood silently in the tall building for a long time, until Zhao Boyan came to the two of them.

Before Zhao Boyan's footsteps settled, Ma Kuo turned around and said, "Boyan, you are here."

Zhao Boyan bowed his head.

Ma Kuo said: You said it very well. As for leading the troops out of the city, General Li still lacks a general to coordinate the troops, and I hope you can go with him.

Ma Kuo waved again, attached to Zhao Boyan's ear, and whispered: General Li's cultivation is extremely high, if there is any situation in the forest that you can't handle, remember, you can leave it to General Li to deal with, you just lead your subordinates to the depths of the forest, and make plans after avoiding risks.

When Ma Kuo spoke, the palm placed on Zhao Boyan's shoulder secretly increased his strength. Zhao Boyan understood the meaning of Ma Zhenshou's words, and retreated silently.

After he left, Ma Rulong asked: Is it worth it for 500 soldiers to accompany Li Wuxiong to the funeral?

Ma Kuo said: The pseudo-tiger is weaker than you think, but the cat-like family is stronger than you think. It was not Qing'er and the 500 soldiers who should be worried about this battle, but the 100,000 people in Qingjiang City.

Ma Rulong couldn't tell if Ma Kuo was alarmist or if he really had such concerns. He had no choice but to carefully put away his worries and attitude, and returned to the barracks to arrange the defense.
