Chapter Twenty-Six: Gai Xun
Three days later, with a big gift, under the witness of the generals, Ma Heng worshiped Jia Xu as a military advisor, and immediately, he handed over all the logistics of the Xiliang Army to Jia Xu's hands, even if Jia Xu said bluntly afterwards, this matter is not my strength, and the lord needs to find another virtuous minister.

"Then I don't know what Wenhe is talking about?"
Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.
Ma Heng also showed a hint of a smile, and then asked, "I don't know what Wen He thinks of this Xiliang Army?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said bluntly, "You will lose." ”
Ma Heng suddenly showed a look of curiosity, Ma Heng actually couldn't understand the current situation in Xiliang, of course, he didn't have the confidence to think that the Xiliang army would win, but he thought that the victory and defeat were half the points, how could he say that he would lose?
Jia Xu didn't lose Ma Heng's appetite, and hurriedly explained: "The Xiliang army seems to be attacking fiercely, but it will be exhausted, of course, as long as the main general is not too careless, it will not suffer a big defeat, but as long as it cannot be defeated in a fight, the Xiliang army will be in civil strife! Although Bian Zhang is called the leader of the general alliance, he has the least number of soldiers in charge, Beigong Boyu is just a reckless man, Han Sui, Ma Teng..." Jia Xu smiled slightly and pointed at Ma Heng, "Even the lord is not a person who is willing to be subservient." ”
Ma Heng couldn't help but admire secretly, and hurriedly asked, "What does Wenhe think I should do?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Firmly control logistics, show grace to the people of Xiliang, and kill the people of Bianzhang, Xiliang can be under control." ”
Since then, Ma Heng has handed over all the logistics scheduling to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu, who says that he is not good at this, also dispatches in an orderly manner. Ma Heng focuses on personal cultivation, of course, it is impossible to practice 24 hours a day, Ma Heng can not stand it mentally, Ma Heng's body can't stand it, and the army can not exercise for more than six hours a day, as for the night exercise is at most two cycles, and any more will be a faint pain in the meridians. The rest of the time, Ma Heng was mostly familiar with the books written by various famous ministers and generals, and then he was in charge of the secret spy black-clothed guard.
With the continuous expansion of the black-clothed guards, especially after absorbing many talents from the death row camp, Ma Da's ability is okay and loyal, but if the martial arts do not awaken, he will not be able to convince the public after all. You must know that there is more than one tomb robber in the death row camp, and there are many strange people of all kinds, and most of them are rebellious. I won't accept a person who is not awakened by the martial veins to sit on his head.
Ma Heng began to set up an intelligence transmission department under the black guards, and there was a Qiang person in the death row camp, a dog, no surname, a Qiang slave, good at training demon beasts, and knew that there was a hummingbird in the wilderness, flying very fast, and it could also be domesticated, you must know that in this era, pigeons also existed, but they were almost extinct, and their survivability was too low, and they could hardly get out of the wild, and they were eaten away from the wild. So Ma Heng and the dog tried to use hummingbirds to convey information.
In fact, Ma Heng's favorite person in charge of the black-clothed guard is Jia Xu, the poisoner and the secret spy can be described as a perfect match, but unfortunately Ma Heng still doesn't trust Jia Xu very much after all, and if the black-clothed guard is also under Jia Xu's control, Jia Xu's power is too great.
There is a calm in Juyong Pass, as for the Shanhaiguan of the opposite Qin State, it has been turning a blind eye to all kinds of changes in the Juyong Pass, and the guards of the Shanhaiguan of the Qin State are not without ideas, after Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated to the Yongguan Pass, he has been willing to lead the troops to attack the Han Dynasty, but they were rejected one by one, the army of the Qin State can gather at the border pass to guard against the Great Sui on the other side, naturally dare not easily open up the battlefield in the Han Dynasty, Juyong Pass is easy to break, the Han Dynasty is not one or two hundred thousand troops can be pacified, if the Sui Dynasty takes the opportunity to enter, it will be worth the loss.
Seeing that the situation in Juyong Pass was calm, Ma Heng sent Gao Shun to lead the army back and forth between the wild land and Juyong Pass, which not only trained the soldiers but also obtained many demon beasts and captured them, and started the old business of the Ma family.
And on this day, there were a few uninvited guests in Juyong Pass, Ma Chao, who was downcast, and Gai Xun, who was a prisoner under the steps.
Ten-year-old Ma Chao has already forged the cultivation of the seventh order, and with the true dragon essence and blood, the foundation is extremely deep, so he clamored to go out with his father and temper himself on the battlefield, but was sent to Juyong Pass by Ma Teng, and Gai Xun was guarded by 1,000 city defenders and 3,000 people to guard the lonely city for a month. Although nearly 10,000 casualties were caused to the rebel army, they were still persuaded to surrender by Bian Zhang, who cherished his talents. It's a pity that the old general sneered at him and scolded Bian Zhang and others for being thieves and bandits. In a fit of rage, Bian Zhang ordered Gai Xun to be executed, but was dissuaded by Han Sui Ma Teng, Gai Xun had a deep prestige in Xiliang, and the fear of killing him aroused public anger. So he was imprisoned and sent to Juyong Pass.
Sending away the depressed Ma Chao, Ma Heng sent the cold-faced Gai Xun to the cell with courtesy all the way, and kept telling the cell boss to treat the old general well.
Ma Heng left the cell with a wry smile, this is a Bodhisattva, you can't die, fortunately, the old general didn't come on a hunger strike, and you must also guard against Gai Xun's escape, you must know that although Gai Xun's pipa bones are locked, his strength can also have the realm of Wuzun, of course, Wuzun, who is over 100 years old, naturally cannot be compared with Dong Zhuo's Wuzun who is in the rising period of his prime, not to mention that Dong Zhuo is also a person on the list, even in the same realm, he is a genius, but Wuzun is Wuzun, naturally he can't be slack.
Looking at Ma Heng with a helpless face, Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Why should the lord be worried, this is a general sent to the lord." ”
Ma Heng was quite surprised, "Could it be that Wenhe still has a way to persuade this Gai Xun? ”
Jia Xu smiled quite slyly, "The ministers naturally can't, but the people of Xiliang can!"
So Ma Heng prepared with anticipation and waited and waited.
In the following days, Jia Xu ignored Gai Xun. The old general should eat and sleep, and he resigned himself to fate.
However, today is different, the prisoners were escorted to repair the city wall as always, but this time the jailer took Gai Xun with him, in the past, the jailers were all ignoring the old general, except for the meal, almost no one cared about it, and Gai Xun, who was held alone, was also out of the cell for the first time, and the difference with ordinary prisoners was that in addition to the bracelet and anklet, Gai Xun's entire pipa bone was firmly locked.
I couldn't mobilize any vitality, and I was still carrying dozens of catties of fine iron chains, but after working for half a day, Gai Xun also slowed down quite breathlessly.
At this time, Juyongguan is under construction everywhere, after all, it has only been more than a year after experiencing the city turmoil, the city wall is even more damaged, and the city is under construction, and more than 100,000 homeless people are only half of the construction, most of them are still crowded in temporary tents to live, giving outsiders the feeling that it is a chaos.
With the monthly rations distributed by the population of the rebel army, coupled with Ma Heng's strict hygiene and cleanliness, the homeless camp was relatively stable, and the death toll had dropped from dozens a day to a few a month.
At this time, the homeless young and middle-aged people all went to work during the day, and the remaining old and weak women and children stayed in the tents.
As a result, there are inevitably many unsupervised children left running around the streets, and the children enjoy it.
But let the pure soldiers, Gai Xun, who sees it clearly on the city wall every day, frown.
"I heard that I was transferred to a partial army to transport food to the front line. "During the lunch period, several prisoners took advantage of the rare rest time to eat and chat.
"So what, there are at least twenty or thirty thousand troops left in this city, why, you still want to escape?" one of the prisoners lowered his voice.
All the prisoners stopped talking, looked at the soldiers everywhere, and shook their heads, the rebels were extremely strict with their guards, especially after Gai Xun came, the prisoners naturally did not find a chance to escape.
"Hmph, just these tens of thousands of people, when the Qin State fights, they will not be destroyed in a fight. When the time comes, we will naturally have a chance. A death row inmate whispered viciously.
Gai Xun, who was sitting alone in the corner, buried his head in eating and was silent.
