At noon, a big banner in the north of the city of Suixian fluttering in the wind, on the book "eight hundred flowing invaders" four big words, the flag, Ma Yue stood with his sword, the look of frozen frost. One of the bandits will be removed from the back of the cow horn to the mouth, puffing cheeks to blow up.

All of a sudden, the heavy and long sound of the bull horn has risen to the sky.

The long sound of the bullhorn woke up the bandits from their sleep, and they scurried out of the deep houses of the rich families in chaos, running to the direction where the sound of the bullhorn came from to assemble. Although they had traveled more than 100 miles from the night before to noon yesterday, and had fought a battle with the official army outside Suixian yesterday afternoon, but after all, they were young and strong men, and after half a night of indulgence, they had almost recovered their strength and spirit by now.

Guanhai's two hundred people also came to the rendezvous after completing the task, although exhausted but they have no time to recuperate, eight hundred stragglers must immediately turn into, run to a new journey.

After the capture of Suixian yesterday afternoon, Ma Yue did not go after the officials and gentry who fled from Suixian with all his might. The news of the fall of Suixian must have reached Fuyang, and I'm sure Qin Jie and others already know about it. How will they react? A hideous smile bloomed at the corner of Ma Yue's mouth, then, Nanyang soldiers want not to be mobilized are difficult.

Let those poor Nanyang soldiers compete with the 800 stragglers in terms of foot power, and by that time, they would only press the gourd and start the ladybug, and they would not be able to care about the end, right?

The sound of the bullhorn stopped, and the disorderly army formation of the stragglers suddenly became silent, and the needles could be heard, each of them straightened their backs, and their gleaming eyes stared straight ahead. Ma Yue nodded secretly in his heart, what made him feel happy was not only the spirit shown by these stragglers.

Ma Yue looked around, all the stragglers looked solemn, except for the dry food bags on their shoulders and the weapons in their hands, all the stragglers did not have any extra sundries on them. Obviously, this group of former farmers is gradually getting rid of the deep-rooted control of the small farmer's consciousness on them.

......

The Nanyang army starved outside the city ambush the whole night, until the next day dawn, the officers and soldiers are about to freeze, Fuyang city still no movement! Zou Jing can no longer sulk, put the fast horse and the official army in the city contact, reported that the city did not find any abnormalities, the official army searched the entire Fuyang City, but also did not find any traces of stray pirates.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.

Zou Jing's expression was grave as he shook his head and said, "My lord, there is still no movement."

Qin Jie changed his color and said, "Ziyu, could it be that our troops are not afraid to be detected by the bandits, who dare not launch a sneak attack and simply disappear?"

Zou Jing shook his head and said, "I don't think so, the dense forest has been scouted all around, the nearby mountains also have the eyes and ears of our army disguised as hunters, if there is a large group of stragglers moving, it will be difficult to escape the eyes and ears, there has been news back."

Qin Jie frowned and said, "This is strange."

Zou Jing mused: "I also feel that things are unusual, but a time but really can not think of where there is a difference."

The two people are wondering, and there are two scout horses galloping, but also a long way away from the panic shouted: "Lord, not good! It's bad!"

Qin Jie's heart jumped and he sat up in shock, saying, "Why are you panicking?"

One of the riders rolled down from his horse and crawled closer to Qin Jie's couch, shouting with a sobbing voice: "Lord Qin, I am a canton chief under the command of Zhang, the county lieutenant of Sui County. "

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"Ah!?"

Zou Jing was dumbfounded with shock.

Qin Jie froze for two seconds, the original gray dull face suddenly became flushed, then opened his mouth to spurt a mouthful of blood, shouted: "also! I've fallen for Ma Yue's plan of striking the west by sounding east! Zi Yu has misled me, Zi Yu has misled me, Zi Yu has misled me~~~"

Qin Jie cried out three times and fainted on the soft couch.

"My Lord!"

Zou Jing was startled and rushed forward to check, but fortunately Qin Jie was still breathing, so he got up and said to the messenger beside him, "Pass the order, the army will immediately move into Fuyang City, and send fast horses to inform Huang Zhong, Cai Mao and Wei He to lead the army into the city immediately! Go!"

The three fast horses such as the wind swept the clouds, towards the north, west and south of Fuyang City, Zou Jing but a buttocks slumped on the snow, a darkness in front of his eyes, trapped, indeed, trapped in Ma Yue that traitorous scheme! The youngest sister Zou Yu Niang although not necessarily back section of the matter of thieves, but certainly is the use of the bandits, she was able to escape from the den of thieves, which itself is a breach which should have known, should have thought of ah!

Think of the pain, Zou Jing hate stomp, regret the intestines are green.

Two hours later, the back room of the Fuyang County Office.

Qin Jie finally woke up, in front of the soft couch, Zou Jing hanging his head, full of shame, Cai Mao, Huang Zhong, Wei and the generals, either filled with righteous anger, or a look of panic, each of them is out of ideas.

"Snap!"

Huang Zhong, with both palms together, said angrily: "My lord, please allow the last general to capture that little bitch and stab her to death in front of all the generals! I dare to conspire with the bandits to swindle the officials and mislead me, it is really hateful, hateful!"

Zou Jing looked miserable, did not dare to say anything to stop, if Zou Yu Niang is really confirmed the charge of backstabbing the bandits, not only her own life is not safe, I'm afraid the entire Nanyang Zou family will be followed by the disaster! This is a big crime to exterminate nine clans ah, little sister ah little sister, Zou family is afraid to destroy in your hands.

Qin Jie weakly waved his hand, said quietly: "With the loss of the county, it is the officer did not check the fault, this matter has come to this, more words are not beneficial. After the eight hundred bandits attacked Suixian, they will definitely go south and attack Jiangxia, and now our army is already a hundred miles away from them, too late to chase them, and Jiangxia soldiers do not know where to go, the situation is critical."

Zou Jing let out a long sigh and said, "Sir, Jing should not have said much about today's incident, but there is one thing I can't say."

Qin Jie said coldly and quietly, "Go ahead."

Zou Jing said, "Ma Yue's wisdom is far better than ours. Under his control, the 800 bandits are no longer the same as the Yellow Turban bandits in the past.

Qin Jie coldly glanced at Zou Jing, said in a gloomy voice: "Ziyu want this official to die quickly?"

Zou Jing changed color and said, "Why did you say that?"

Qin Jie said in a gloomy voice: "The old master is still in the hands of the bandits, the general will know the news soon, then the court will be angry, how can Ziyu save me?"

Zou Jing was speechless.

Huang Zhong said solemnly, "Your Excellency, I would like to lead a standard army to follow the example of the bandits and march lightly to save Master He and help your Excellency to get rid of this calamity."

Cai Mao said coldly: "Han Sheng remember the defeat of Laohegou?"

Huang Zhong made a face and said, "This is a time and a place! The defeat of the old river ditch is not a war crime, but the last general's recklessness and adventurousness violated the great taboo of the military, now the last general knows the power of Ma Yue, will not repeat the same mistake."

Cai Mao said in a gloomy voice: "That is difficult to say."

Huang Zhong said sternly, "Your Excellency, the last general would like to make a military order, vowing to capture and cut Ma Yue and save Old Master He."

While Huang Zhong and Cai Mao were arguing, Qin Jie already had a plan in his mind and took a long breath and said in a low voice, "Ma Yue is cunning, only Han Sheng's men and horses are no match for him, all generals listen to the order!"

Huang Zhong's generals hold their heads high, hands clasped fists.

"Huang Zhong as the main general, Cai Mao, Wei He as the deputy general, lead the army 3000 light and fast, starry night south, run to Suixian, once we find out the whereabouts of the stragglers that bite, when the 800 stragglers are exhausted, and then a drum to destroy the, all the generals should remember, do not divide the troops on the road, so as not to give the 800 stragglers to take advantage of the opportunity."

"Yes, sir!"

Huang Zhong and Wei He answered in a loud voice, while Cai Mao reluctantly arched his hand.

Qin Jie said, "I will lead the middle army of 1000 troops to sit in Fuyang and wait for the three generals' good report."

Huang Zhong said, "The last general will definitely live up to the general's trust, and will definitely kill Ma Yue's head and save Old Master He."

Qin Jie waved his hand and Huang Zhong's generals turned around and left.
