In the northern effect of Suixian, 800 stragglers had been assembled, but now there were only less than 700 left.

Guan Hai said morosely, "Bo Qi, now that Qin Jie's Nanyang soldiers have been left far behind us in Fuyang, is it time to kill Jiangxia?"

"No!" Ma Yue shook his head abruptly and pointed his finger to the north and said indifferently, "Let's go back north and take Fuyang again!"

"What! Back to the north?" Guan Hai was confused and said, "Isn't that another head-on collision with Qin Jie's Nanyang soldiers? Why do we have to make such a big detour to fight in Suixian and then go back to Fuyang? Might as well be in Fuyang City and Nanyang soldiers to do it in the first place."

Pei Yuan Shao also said anxiously, "Yes, Bo Qi, we can't go north, yesterday a bad battle, already lost more than 100 life and death brothers, if we go north again and Qin Jie's Nanyang soldiers fight hard, I'm afraid that the remaining 700 people will have to pile up in Fuyang!

Ma Yue smiled wryly and asked rhetorically, "Who said we were going to fight hard with Qin Jie's Nanyang soldiers?"

"Uh, between ......" Guan Hai said, "Qin Jie's thousands of Nanyang soldiers are now in Fuyang, and we are going back north to fight Fuyang again, isn't that a hard fight?"

Pei Yuan Shao blinked his fierce eyes, also confused, "Is it possible that Qin Jie will surrender? Can't be, there is no reason for the official army to surrender to the bandits?"

"It's true that Qin Jie's thousands of Nanyang soldiers are still in Fuyang, but by the time we kill Fuyang, I'm afraid those thousands of Nanyang soldiers will be in Suixian, hehe."

The smile on Ma Yue's face became more and more bizarre, causing Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao, two simple-minded reckless men, to feel a bit creepy.

Guan Hai was puzzled and could not help but ask: "Why is this?"

Ma Yue laughed morosely, his black eyes revealed a murderous spirit, and said in a deep voice: "It's simple, the Nanyang soldiers have a reason to come! Because the life of Qin Jie's family is in my hands. He Zhen is the oldest son of the current general He Jin. If Qin Jie cannot save He Zhen, He Jin will never spare him. Now, the time left for Qin Jie is getting less and less, once He Jin knows the news of his father's captivity, it will be too late for Qin Jie to redeem himself."

Still confused, Guan Hai then asked, "So what?"

Ma Yue said coldly, "Therefore, after Qin Jie found out that he had been hit by the sound of the east and the west, he will be infuriated and will definitely raise all the Nan Yang soldiers to follow us. Qin Jie thought that we could only survive if we went south to Jiangxia, but we killed a horse and shot back to reoccupy Fuyang, Qin Jie will be caught off guard."

Pei Yuan Shao slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, Bo Qi means there are several thousand Nanyang soldiers in Fuyang now, but when we rush back, it will be an empty city again, right?"

Ma Yue grinned, revealing his white teeth.

......

Fuyang City, the lobby of the county office.

The day is already late, Huang Zhong led the troops away for a long time, Qin Jie is on the burning fire pan drowsy, suddenly awakened by a rush of footsteps, opened his eyes to see, but the look of panic Zou Jing hurriedly step in. These days tired of being frightened, Qin Jie has become a bird of prey, this see Zou Jing such a situation, suddenly excited and cold shiver, extremely nervous asked: "Ziyu, what ...... what alarming lies?"

Zou Jing sucked in a cold breath to calm the panic, said in a deep voice: "Lord, just scouting horse returns, the city north of the dense forest found a large group of bandits!"

"What!?"

Qin Jie was shocked, his breathing was rapid, and he almost fainted, Zou Jing hurriedly grabbed a hand to hold him, Qin Jie almost did not fall into the burning fire, otherwise, Qin Jie would have become the first eunuch in the history of the Han Empire to be burned to death in the fire.

It took half a day for Qin Jie to regain his breath and said in a trembling voice, "Eight ...... hundred stragglers have just defeated Suixian, how ...... did stragglers appear in the dense forest north of the city?"

Zou Jing said: "Lord, Ma Yue's eight hundred stragglers are indeed in Sui County, there is no doubt that the scouts who escaped from Sui County had described to the official the appearance of the leader of the bandits, belonged to Ma Yue."

"Then how did a large group of bandits appear in the dense forest north of the city?"

"My lord, the bandits that appeared in the forest north of the city might be a certain band of yellow turban bandits that fled from Wancheng, perhaps they heard that Ma Yue's 800 bandits had captured Fuyang, so they came a hundred miles to join them."

"Well ...... Ziyu's words are very much to my liking, this must be the bandits who fled from Wancheng without a doubt."

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

......

In the dense forest north of Fuyang City, a group of five or six hundred Yellow Turban bandits are struggling in the knee-deep snow.

This group of yellow turban bandits most ragged clothes, lips dry and cracked, withered description, in the winter even a linen single clothes can not wear, many yellow turban bandits have been full of frostbite, some walking and fell head first in the snow, this died, some are too tired to sit on their buttocks, when their companions go over to try to pull him up, but found that the breath has long gone.

The yellow turban bandits team at the forefront, a sturdy man carrying a knife to open the way, from the left shoulder to the right rib diagonally wrapped in a piece of white linen, a dirty black blood from the linen oozing out, has been freeze-dried, the man also pale, withered description, but good spirit, two eyes shining, it can be seen, is a man of iron.

"Brothers, step up, walk through this dense forest in front of the Fuyang, Ma Da leader of the 800 stragglers in the Fuyang city to eat and drink. As long as we get there, for the sake of the Yellow Turban, each other had been brothers, Ma Da leader will certainly share a bite of food, uniform everyone a body to wear."

"Brothers, do not sit down to rest, hold on, must hold on ah, sit down will not be able to get up, so life in the ice and snow!"

"Ahead, just ahead, not a few miles away! Fragrant fatty meat, hot wine, and warm fire pits, just waiting for us, clench your teeth, we'll be there in a moment!"

Under the support of the great man's relentless encouragement and desire to live, the yellow turban bandits finally pulled themselves together and quickened their pace.

......

Night fell again, enveloping the entire land.

"Stop!"

Ma Yue's black eyes flashed with a fierce light, abruptly raised his right arm, and his clear, harsh low voice overshadowed the crisp creaking sound of hundreds of pairs of feet on the snow, and was sent clearly into the ears of every straggler. Behind Ma Yue, Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao at the same time alerted up, extremely far-seeing, only to see the empty sky dome, the northern horizon faintly shining a few fire, whistling cold wind, seems to be mixed with the faint sound of horse neighing.

Pei Yuan Shao said in a gruff voice: "It must be the Nanyang soldiers!"

Guan Hai rolled over and fell to the ground, peeled away the snow and put his ear to the ground and listened intently for a moment, then got up and changed color and said, "About three thousand people!

Ma Yue gave Guan Hai a stern glance and asked in a deep voice: "How do you know there are only about three thousand people?"

Guan Hai laughed, proudly said: "This is our old Guan's exclusive skills! Within five miles, a group of rats run past, we can hear how many there are."

Ma Yue's heart swept through a cloud of darkness and asked in a deep voice: "Lao Guan, are you sure?"

Guan Hai did not hesitate to say, "Eight or nine is not far from ten!"

Pei Yuan Shao seemed to notice the abnormality in Ma Yue's expression and asked, "Bo Qi, what's wrong?"

Ma Yue frowned and said, "Qin Jie's Nanyang soldiers have 4000 men, if there are only 3000 men here, what about the remaining 1000 men? Wouldn't they still be in Fuyang City!"

Guan Hai said morosely, "This must be the case."

Pei Yuan Shao said, "Bo Qi, then will we still fight Fuyang? We only have less than 700 now, so I'm afraid we won't have the upper hand in a hard fight."

Ma Yue let out a sigh in his heart.

This is really in line with the old saying, man's plan is not as good as God's plan. Ma Yue, even though he was capable, could not have anticipated that Qin Jie was too ill to go out with the army, so he stayed in Fuyang, and naturally, the number of troops left in Fuyang was as many as 1,000! If Qin Jie himself led the army to the south, the number of soldiers and horses left in Fuyang would never exceed 500.

Ma Yue was caught in a dilemma, he didn't expect that Qin Jie had left a full 1000 men in Fuyang! Even if the 800 stragglers are now stronger than the Nanyang soldiers in terms of combat power and are prepared, the Nanyang soldiers left behind in Fuyang have an overwhelming advantage in strength after all. Who will be left to fight the subsequent series of bad battles?

Even if we can finally mobilize Qin Jie's Nanyang soldiers and make them tired and busy, but if Ma Yue no longer has 800 stragglers in his hands, what else can he use to defeat them? It really hurts my brain ......
