Volume 4 Chapter 66 A Respite

Ma Biao fled, Yang Rong broke into this counter-army team, it was as if he had entered a no-man's land, and the defenders of the north gate were inspired by Yang Rong and almost poured out, and the Suzhou troops led by Ma Biao had a huge psychological gap for a while, and they lost their combat power like a mountain, and they collapsed in an instant.

"Ma Biao, where to go!" Yang Rong saw that he was about to catch up with Ma Biao, and the long axe had already been swung.

Yang Rong's shout woke up Ma Biao, Ma Biao turned around, took Yang Rong's axe with a knife, Yang Rong saw Ma Biao's vicious expression, and then realized that he was not the one who attacked, and his power no longer allowed him to be so arrogant.

But at this moment, although Ma Biao was remorseful, he was powerless to return to the sky, and even the soldiers passed by him and didn't even say hello. Ma Biao watched the army rout, and the fighting spirit he had just had was eliminated a lot, and he pointed at Yang Rong and said, "You wait!"

"I ...... I'll wait!" Yang Rong's leg injury has not healed, and he was riding like the wind just now, so he was a little uncomfortable, and after fighting with Ma Biao, he found that he was a little tired, not to mention that now that the purpose of retiring from the army has been achieved, Yang Rong has no idea of taking risks.

After Ma Biao left with the troops, Yang Rong also took the defenders to pretend to chase and kill for a while, and then returned to the north gate. The first thing he did when he went back, Yang Rong asked the soldiers defending the city to rest against the battlements, and only let a few soldiers watch, because he knew that this was a rare opportunity to rest.

Ma Biao walked a long way with the army, and when he saw that there were no pursuers, he sorted out the troops all the way. When he arrived at the barracks, Xu Shiyang came out to greet him, but he saw that many people were unkempt and did not look like victorious soldiers.

Ma Biao only said that the soldiers ran around all night, and today they surrounded the north gate for half a day, and they were too tired, so they rushed back to rest. But a shrewd person like Xu Shiyang can still see one or two, which is obviously something happening.

After careful questioning, Xu Shiyang learned the truth from the soldiers, and it turned out that reinforcements came from the north gate.

Xu Shiyang, as a man in the rivers and lakes, was actually not the material for marching and fighting, but for the sake of desire, he followed Ma Biao to rebel, led everyone in the dart bureau to be the pioneer all the way, and killed the elite soldiers of Suzhou to the city of Qingzhou. But after that, Ma Biao saw the situation clearly and knew that Qingzhou City was at the end of the road, and the reinforcements of the imperial court were even more far away.

For this reason, Ma Biao gathered nearly half of his troops, asked Xu Shiyang to guard the camp, and led his troops out to the battle, wanting to be the first general to enter the city. Unexpectedly, when he was about to succeed, he rushed out of such an unknown Yang Rong, but he messed up his own position. I still lack experience, I have brute force, and it is difficult to take on big responsibilities.

Although Xu Shiyang knew Ma Biao's small abacus, he couldn't help it, after all, now Ma Biao is the leader of this Suzhou soldier, and Ma Biao's help is indispensable for his future glory and wealth. If he pretends to be stupid, Ma Biao will definitely repay him in the future.

But at present, it is rumored in the army that the imperial court reinforcements have arrived, and the more Xu Shiyang thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, not to mention that there is no news about the eastern defense line, it is true that the imperial court reinforcements have descended from the sky, so they should also chase after them, why is there no one for a long time.

Xu Shiyang decided to go and check alone, after all, he is also a good player, even if he is found alone, it is not a big problem to get out of the whole body.

As soon as he arrived at the nearby secret place, Xu Shiyang looked at the city tower, only to find that there were few people standing, and there was a depression on the city tower, which clearly showed that the troops were insufficient, and he took advantage of the gap to rest.

Xu Shiyang was secretly happy in his heart, but fortunately it was just an illusion.

That night, Xu Shiyang entered Ma Biao's tent and told Ma Biao about it.

Ma Biao looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said: "How can I not know about this, but when I react, I can't control the momentum." ”

Seeing that Ma Biao was still cutting roast lamb legs with peace of mind, Xu Shiyang suddenly had a feeling of hating iron and not steel: "In this case, tomorrow the general can send troops again, and Xu is willing to be a pioneer." ”

Ma Biao stopped cutting the leg of mutton and looked up at Xu Shiyang: "Please come here?"

Xu Shiyang frowned, standing in front of Ma Biao and saluting, it was a person under the eaves, how could he not bow his head.

"Sit down. Ma Biao knew that Xu Shiyang was still useful, so he beckoned Xu Shiyang to sit down.

The two were silent for a while, and soon a sergeant came into the account and sent a leg of mutton, Ma Biao said while cutting the leg of mutton: "Eat, you're welcome." ”

Xu Shiyang had no appetite and sighed.

Ma Biao also stopped: "What, this roast leg of lamb is a delicacy in the barracks, and it doesn't suit our appetite?"

Xu Shiyang smiled helplessly and replied: "This roast leg of lamb is not richer and more delicious than Ronghua." ”

Ma Biao looked at Xu Shiyang directly, and said half-loudly: "I want to save face, and I'll talk about it in a day." ”

Xu Shiyang was a little annoyed: "Face is really so important to the general?"

Ma Biao imported mutton in one hand and nodded: "If this matter becomes a joke, I'm afraid that even if you become a general, it will be a stain for a lifetime." I don't want to ruin my future because of this. ”

Hearing such strange remarks for the first time, Xu Shiyang was speechless for a while, only cold. If Ma Biao is just a reckless man, Xu Shiyang is still relaxed, but Ma Biao is a reckless man who loves face, not only has a narrow vision, but also is a little stubborn and self-serving, which is enough to make Xu Shiyang, who has an obvious purpose, unbearable: "If the general is really like this, then Xu Mou can only say goodbye!"

"Please. Ma Biao raised his eyebrows, he didn't care if Xu Shiyang stayed or not, he buried himself in eating meat.

Xu Shiyang's face turned red and he wanted to be angry, but he still held back. He knew that Ma Biao had a good face, and if he was angry in front of his tent, Ma Biao might ask the sergeant to arrest him, and then take revenge, accuse him of assassinating the general, and execute him on the spot.

Face is just the opposite for Xu Shiyang, dispensable. He didn't want to be a ghost.

Xu Shiyang got up angrily, Ma Biao lowered his head, the knife for cutting mutton was tightly held in his hand, Xu Shiyang looked at Ma Biao, and said lightly: "My subordinates retire." Without waiting for Ma Biao to reply, he left the camp.

After Xu Shiyang left, Ma Biao slowly raised his head, and there was murderous aura in his eyes.

Ma Biao is a thief, and Xu Shiyang is a wolf. Ma Biao stole Zhao Heshan's position, and Xu Shiyang gave Ma Biao wolf nature.

Now, it is reasonable for the cunning rabbit to die and the lackeys to cook, after all, these two people are for their own selfishness. If it weren't for Ma Biao's unstable foundation now, I'm afraid that he would have broken with Xu Shiyang a long time ago.

These two people, in fact, are the same dog, but their powers are different, and their status in their cognition is different.

Yang Rong inexplicably got a day of respite, and he couldn't be happy. He forgot that in fact, Qingzhou has no way out, but there is still hope in his heart, and this hope is his consistent loyalty to the court.
