Chapter 740: Civil Strife in Longxi?
The reason why Li Chi opened his eyes was not that he had another nightmare of battlefield conquest. But when he was asleep, he suddenly felt that the air around him was cold and stagnant.
It is also common for the night to be windy and cold. But Li Chi still jumped up reflexively and made a defensive posture vigilantly. And after he saw the surrounding situation clearly, he immediately relaxed a little: at this time, the head of Longxi City was silent. Only Ma Chao stood with his head held high, and after him, every soldier and every guard who had been sleeping soundly before stood like a javelin, with no sleepiness or emotion in their eyes, and some of them turned out to be like the thick slaughter when the wolves wanted to hunt at night.
After seeing this situation clearly, Li Chigang's relaxed heart couldn't help but mention it again. At this time, he finally understood the reason why he felt cold just now: the killing intent of these tiger and wolf warriors before setting out for the battle was enough to make the air tremble and the temperature drop! They are all iron-blooded war machines, waiting for the order to conquer, and they are surging!
"General, what's wrong?" Li Chi was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but walk towards Ma Chao and ask.
Compared with the indifference to the killing of those soldiers, Ma Chao did not reveal too much murderous intent. A martial arts person like him no longer needs to use murderous energy to encourage him to adjust his state before killing. After he heard Li Chi's question, he just smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, I'm just waiting for a few people." ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Chi seemed to hear the whistling wind in his ears, and with this gust of wind, Li Chi had vaguely seen several black-clothed people climb the wall like flying swallows, rushing towards Ma Chao's direction. Li Chi just wanted to take precautions, but when he saw the smile on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, he immediately understood: These people are probably the people General Ma is waiting for, right?
Xiao Tian, Mu Yuanfeng, Shanqu, Qin Shou, and Tang Xiaomi, dressed in the Ma family's night clothes, knelt respectfully in front of Ma Chao, and said in unison: "Lord, the investigation is over, and you can act." ”
"Good!" Ma Chao didn't say too much, and after hearing the words, he made a slight move with the dragon crouching tiger gun in his hand, and said, "Let's go!" After that, Ma Chao's personal guards and the shadows that came after him suddenly shattered like a solemn sculpture, revealing a monstrous murderous aura, like an eagle soaring into the sky, and they all acted like flowing water.
But Li Chi was confused at this time, and he didn't know Ma Chao's plan at all. When he was struggling with whether he should say more, Ma Chao, who was in action, suddenly turned his head and said: "Liaoyuan, if there is nothing to do, guard the city for me." Once the operation begins, the enemy will definitely attack the city in the middle of the night........"
"General! The great task of defending the city is related to the survival of the people of a county, and it cannot be ........" Shocked by Ma Chao's surprise in the first half of the night, Li Chi didn't feel that he could defend the city better than Ma Chao.
"Don't worry, this time to defend the city will be the easiest one you have been in more than half a month." Ma Chao didn't say anything more, after turning over the elephant dragon, he shouted, and then broke the Longxi City in his sleep.
And at the same time, in the Ma family camp behind Longxi City.
The horse didn't sleep at all, or rather, he couldn't sleep at all. There was not a single candle flame in the tent, but it could be faintly heard that the horse was whispering to someone.
"In addition to making me continue to win Ma Chao's trust, did the military advisor have made it clear, when will we do it?" The sound of the horse playing sounded a little urgent and panicked at this time.
"What? Could it be that Ma Chao has already discovered your identity? Another voice came, and listening to its tone, it seemed that its identity was not lower than that of a horse play, and even, there was a vague meaning of questioning.
"The army has arrived, and Ma Chao only has 3,000 Ma family iron cavalry and hundreds of personal guards, even if you add the soldiers of Longxi County, there are less than 6,000 people." Ma Yu spoke again, but his voice became quieter and quieter: "We should cooperate with the outside and take Longxi in one fell swoop, but it is like taking things from a bag." And now that the army has arrived, why not go down in one go? ”
"The military advisor has his own plans for this matter........ another person's voice said this, and seemed to be silent for a moment before he spoke: "However, in my opinion, it must be that Ma Chao is worried about the war and completely depends on you; the second is to wait for Ma Jiajun to go to Longyou completely, and leave enough time for the military division to design the next step; Once these two opportunities are ripe, it is time for us to join forces inside and outside! ”
"Not necessarily, the military advisor has always acted unexpectedly and as fast as thunder. I guess that the day of the move should be these two days, and maybe tonight may be ........." Ma Yu disagreed with what the man said, but then suddenly heard the noise outside the tent, and couldn't help but quickly change his words: "Something big may have happened, you leave quickly!" Tell the strategist that the horse is always on standby! ”
"Good!" When the man heard this, he didn't say much, and after stealthily going out from behind the tent, he quickly disappeared into the night while the barracks were in chaos.
The horse play quickly pretended to get up in the middle of the night and lit the candle. At this time, a member of the herald hurriedly entered the account and said: "General, Longxi City is in chaos. The lord has an order, and you will quickly lead the army to quell the chaos! ”
"How can it be!" Ma Yu was furious when he heard this, quickly put on half of his military uniform, picked up his sword and said: "Just a thief, you dare to recklessly disturb the foundation of the Ma family and disobey the lord's divine might?!" Hurry up and give orders to your subordinates, order 8,000 soldiers and horses to stand by and reinforce the city wall at any time, and the rest of you will follow me to quell the chaos! ”
"No!" The night was gloomy, and the candle flame, which was not very bright, did not shine at all on the strange face of the horse when he said this.
And when Ma Wan led about 5,000 soldiers and horses to the inner city of Longxi, he found that the inner city of Longxi was actually full of smoke, and the sound of slashing and killing was endless.
And in the very center of the firelight, Ma Yu saw Ma Chao who was calming the chaos at a glance. By his side, there were only 300 personal guards. But it may be that he expected that he would come to help, so even though the inner city was in turmoil, Ma Chao still did not see the slightest emotion, calmly commanded, and a brocade robe was also illuminated by the firelight, which increased the sense of fantasy of confusion and circulation.
When he arrived at the front, Ma Yu heard Ma Chao's metallic voice and was ordering: "Calm down!" Even if the enemy army has spies in the mix, how can there be a reason that the whole city is full of spies. A curfew alarm was issued, and the chief of each pavilion was ordered to return to the house, close the inner door, and not go out. If a thief invades, each house will defend itself, and only death will be rested! Those who are still on the street after half an hour will be punished as a traitor! ”
Longxi City because of the heavy city in the west of the Guanxi, the construction follows the regulations of the Han Dynasty, with the unit of li, five households for a first, fifty households for a li, each mile is high and towering, the walls are strict, such as a small city similar, for the residents, can prevent foreign intrusion, for the ruler, but can prevent the people, and it is beneficial to defend in the city defense war. Therefore, at that time, the county inherited this system, and it remained unchanged, and it has been regarded as a tradition for later generations.
And Ma Chao's order in his mouth just played the wartime role of Rito. The spies infiltrated the city, and the number of people was definitely not too large, so they could only create a riot by setting fire to the city, so as to win the chaos. At this time, Ma Chao's order was given, and as long as he had a soldier in his hand, he could completely eliminate this civil strife within half an hour.
But what Ma Yu saw in his eyes was not these, in his eyes, he only saw that there were only three hundred guards around Ma Chao at this time. If the 5,000 troops under his command charge up, then coupled with the spy master arranged by the military advisor, it is not impossible to assassinate Ma Chao!
As soon as Ma Chao died, Longxi City, Yongzhou, and even the entire Ma family foundation could fall apart. Such a monstrous achievement, just in my own thoughts at this moment!
Ma Yu thought about it, and his eyes couldn't help but burn a raging fire, as if his whole blood was boiling. He felt his heart beat faster and his mouth dry........ The right hand trembling slightly, as long as it is raised high and roars 'Kill Ma Chao', maybe you can leave a name for a thousand years!!
However, after a flash of splendid cold light, Ma Chao slashed a spy who wanted to fish in troubled waters into pieces of meat with a random blow. Ma Yu felt that he was suddenly poured on his head by a basin of cold water: Ma Chao's martial arts are almost invincible in the world. As long as there is a slight possibility today, so that Ma Chao can escape, then according to Ma Chao's murderous and cruel temperament and the power of the Ma family, he will definitely succeed in the pursuit of Ma Chao's hatred in the future........
"The military advisor still expects the enemy to be far-reaching, at this time, it is better to win the trust of Ma Chao first and then plan for a big thing........ 'The plan in his heart has been decided, and as soon as Ma Yu raised his head again, he shouted loudly: "Don't worry, don't worry, Ma Yu will calm the chaos!" ”
