Chapter 725: Plague God (1)

Seeing this, the supernatural power breathed a sigh of relief:

"The Changsun Army is worthy of being a bunch of waste, and the northern front seems to be worry-free for the time being."

"Heavenly King, as long as the Eastern Front defeats the Xian Army again, there will be no more war in three or five years." Song He said.

The supernatural shook his head and clasped the letter on the table:

"General Song is too optimistic, Baili Yan has only 160,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhao Xun still has 200,000 or 300,000 troops in his hands. With Bailiyan's temperament, in the battle of Lintai, even if our army wins successfully, Bailiyan can escape, and at most he will be injured by 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it will never be possible to wipe him out.

In order to completely defeat the Xian army and the Zhi army, it is necessary to transfer 200,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Front and join forces with Chitose to defeat them.

Although Shengyan and Shengyan won a complete victory, there were still more than 200,000 Jin troops in the northern front in the rear, and Thunder and Shengyan could not draw troops south to help me in a short time. Although the combat strength of the Changsun army is unbearable, its population is large, and it will not take half a year for more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to be replenished. ”

Shentong did not get carried away because of a victory, on the contrary, he realized very clearly that the crux of the battlefield on the Eastern Front was the Xian and Zhi armies.

On the second day, Shentong and Shen Duchi divided their troops to march westward, and in the afternoon of the same day, Huang Che's army carried 50,000 people from Ma Zheng's department to land in Xingcheng, and Ma Zheng led the guards to rush to Zhaocheng before dark that day, and saw Fang Ke first.

"General Fang, what about General Zhou?" Ma Zheng asked.

"I have ordered someone to go and inform General Zhou that he should be on his way back to the city at this time."

"Out of town! The Xian army is ten miles outside the city, what is General Zhou doing when he goes out of the city? ”

Ma Zheng questioned, but Fang Ke was a little worried, because he found gold, and quickly concealed his weakness, Fang Ke said:

"Oh, there is a secret passage in the mountains outside the city, which was discovered by the Xian army a few days ago, so I had to occupy the mountains and forests and hold on until General Ma arrived."

"So, can our army bypass the Xian army and go straight to Lintai?"

"It's not all, you can go as far as 60 miles behind the Xian army outside the city, and you and I can trap the Xian army here by attacking back and forth. The Divine Power Heavenly King will cover our army from the direction of Lintai, and prevent the Lintai Xian army from rushing to the aid of the Zhaocheng Xian army. ”

"But the sixty-mile mountain road is not sixty miles of flat land, and there is no three-day walk out, if it is discovered by the Xian army, it will not be inserted into the way out of our army first."

"General Ma don't have to worry, our army knows the mountain roads here well, and there is a small road to walk, and the forced march can be inserted behind the Xian army in one day."

"That's really good, the Chitose Heavenly King repeatedly instructed before leaving, this Xian army is well-armed, and its combat strength is not inferior to that of the Zhi army, so I should be careful. If this road can copy its back, this battle has a good chance of winning. ”

Ma was born as a slave, half of the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by him were slaves, and the equipment was also very sophisticated, equipped with chain mail or iron scale piercing armor, and the weapons were all fine iron swords, and the combat power was extremely fierce, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was worth 100,000 ordinary soldiers.

What's even worse is that there are still many outlaws and death row prisoners under Ma Zheng's command, killing people and doing all kinds of evil. Chitose, Heifeng, and Longyuan were all the way south to conquer the state of Xu, and recruited death row prisoners and outlaws to serve.

Of course, since they are slaves and outlaws, they have to be restrained by extraordinary means, such as:

"General Fang, how much wine and meat can be used by our army for a few days?"

Ma Zheng opened his mouth to mention wine and meat, which really made Fang Ke difficult, and now he said that he raised 50,000 people, and Fang Ke himself said that he had not eaten meat for half a month.

"Uh...... Don't hide it from General Ma, I Zhaocheng now has good grain and grass, and there are some rice wine and turbid wine, but the meat is only 40,000 catties of salted meat and cured meat, more than 200 live pigs, and thousands of chickens and ducks. Not enough for 80,000 people a month. ”

"How can this work, the soldiers of this general serve the king of heaven, meat is the foundation of motivating morale and recuperation, tens of thousands of catties of meat are not enough for our army to eat two meals." Ma Zheng's tone was unhappy and aggressive, and anger jumped on his face.

Chitose, Long Yuan and others have invested heavily in raising Ma Zheng, a division of tigers and wolves, and they are well-equipped, not to mention, there are two heads of meat in three days.

Soon after Chitose and Long Yuan went south to Xu State, they took hundreds of thousands of horses from horse farms and pastures, as well as cattle and sheep, which were more than enough to raise hundreds of thousands of troops at that time.

However, it is only to blame that the Black Turban Army did not know about economic construction, and the cattle, sheep and horses obtained were quickly used as trophies and distributed to various occupied areas for food, with no long-term plan or animal husbandry and breeding, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were finally eaten and wiped out, and there was not much left.

Nowadays, the cost of meat for 50,000 horses is not a small amount, and it is not a small expense to open meat at two ends in three days.

Even in peacetime, the princely armies only serve meat dishes once in the middle of the month and at the end of the month, and some even only once every two months.

For Ma Zheng's lion mouth, Fang Ke was embarrassed, and hurriedly said:

"General Ma, the current situation in various places is tight, Zhaocheng is a reserve army, and the grain and grass military supplies cannot be compared with the front-line army, even if it is more than 40,000 catties of cured meat, it is also General Zhou's hard work in the past half a year, many brothers have not smelled the smell of meat for more than two months, and then supply 50,000 horses to eat, Zhaocheng really can't afford to supply."

"Well, Ben also knows that the northern line is not as good as the southern one. But there is no wine and meat, women should always have it. ”

"This ......" Fang Ke's eyes rolled, wanting to say no, but in fact there really was.

Seeing that Fang could hesitate, Ma Zheng's face finally sank uncontrollably:

"What's the matter, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Zhaocheng, and there is not even a prostitute camp!"

As soon as the words fell, a shout came from outside the hall:

"What a bold man, dare to talk about the prostitute camp on the head of the general!"

Ma Zheng followed the prestige, and saw several women wearing strong and stubborn clothes into the house, and his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Hehe, General Fang, you are so good-looking, there are also female pawns in the house, you are not authentic."

Fang Ke was taken aback when he heard the news, and was busy saying that Zhou Kong was already annoyed and angry, and scolded:

"Phew, let your mother's fart, dare to tease the general, who gave you the dog guts!"

Ma Zheng was stunned for a moment, the wild wolf in his heart was furious, he stood up and walked forward, and saw that the woman who spoke at the head had a huge scald scar on the left side of her face, but the right face was still seven points handsome, and the color and courage immediately came to her heart, and she completely left the word "Ben Jiang" behind:

"Yo, the little lady is quite stubborn, what if she didn't serve Ben tonight!"

Ma Zheng stretched out his hand to tease, Zhou Kongdun was angry, stretched out his hand and went up with a palm, and heard two piercing sounds, shocking everyone. Ma Zheng was stunned in his heart, and the next moment malice came to his heart:

"Fucking stinky bitch, shame on your face, I killed you today!"

Ma Zheng stretched out his hand to draw his sword, a group of guards swords out of the sheath, the atmosphere was tense in a blink of an eye, the fast change before and after, Ke was stunned and did not come back to his senses, he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Ma Zheng to draw his sword with his right hand:

"General Ma, this is my city lord General Zhou Kong, General Zhou, don't be rude!"

Ma Zheng was stunned when he heard the news, only to feel that the two slaps on his face just now hurt even more.

"What a!"

"General Zhou is the chief general appointed by the Divine Power Heavenly King, and you and I are both at the disposal of General Zhou."

At this time, Zhou Kongjing sat back down, buckled his sword on the table, and asked Ma Zheng in a deep voice:

"Ma Zheng, you are guilty!"

Ma Zheng has a weak sense of law, and in the past ten years, he has killed people and done all kinds of evil, so he has no respect for women at all, and he still has no scruples:

"This general is under the command of the Chitose Heavenly King, but he is only temporarily transferred here. As for just now, Ben will be offended! ”

Ma Zheng arched his hand with his head held high, without the slightest sincerity. Zhou Kong was angry, but he thought that Ma Zheng was just passing through Zhaocheng, and there was no need to conflict with him, so he endured it.

"General Ma Zheng has entered my city, he will respect me according to the rules of the city, if there is a violation, the general will be severely punished, and the general will not say hello."

"Hmph, this general is under the command of the Chitose Heavenly King, and the general's men and horses have committed an accident, and the general is free to deal with it, and he will not work for your army. Besides, our army is all outlaws, and if the restraint is too strict, it will be difficult for the general to do it, hehe......" Ma Zheng sneered, and the meaning of sarcasm and contempt was very strong.

Zhou Kong is not afraid, and competes against each other:

"The Divine Power Heavenly King ordered you to lead the army to Lintai as soon as possible, outflanking the Xian army from behind, General Ma Zheng's troops are not allowed to stay in Zhaocheng, if it is overdue, the Divine Power Heavenly King will not tolerate it."

"That's good, Ben will come with a thousand miles of troops, the people are sleepy, the horses are lacking, the morale is drowsy, there is neither wine and meat nor a prostitute camp in the city, there must be a silver reward before the war, and the livestock will be used to reward the three armies."

Zhou Kong clenched his right fist, hating that he couldn't slap Ma Zheng twice. Resisting her anger, she said:

"Zhaocheng has been poor for many years, and the excess money and food have long been exhausted, how can there be any extra silver for 50,000 people."

"Hmph, the Chitose Heavenly King and the Longyuan Heavenly King are all heavy rewards for the dead, how come the rules have changed when you wait here."

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Kong could no longer suppress his anger and thundered: "Now there is a shortage of gold and silver, where is there not a shortage of food and materials, it is not easy to eat food, where can our army get gold and silver." ”

"The general can't manage this, without two thousand inches of silver, if something goes wrong with the 50,000 horses under the command of the general, you General Zhou will be to blame."

"You fart!" Zhou Kong scolded sharply: "Now even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can't find five hundred silver in Zhaocheng, and you can open your mouth for two thousand, do you think that the underground of Zhaocheng is full of gold and silver!" ”

Zhou Kong's words reminded Fang Ke, and he suddenly thought of the thousands of silver sent a few days ago, so he said:

"General Zhou, doesn't the Holy Order Division have five thousand inches of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Zheng was taken aback in his heart, and immediately insisted on Fang Ke:

"Obediently, you are really fat, you hide five thousand inches of silver and say that you can't take out two thousand silver. General Zhou, what do you explain! ”

Zhou Kongmeng's heart jumped, and he turned to look at Fang Ke:

"What nonsense, can the silver be used!"

"......"

Fang Ke wanted to say something, but Ma Zheng took the lead:

"Damn it, your hearts have been eaten by dogs. Brethren, go to the Holy Orders and ask for silver! ”

Ma Zheng's entourage echoed in unison, and he couldn't help but say, like bandits and locusts, he rushed out of the house and went straight to the Holy Order. Zhou Kong couldn't bear it anymore and smashed it on the table with one palm:

"Bandits, it's just bandit bullies!"

At this time, Fang Ke persuaded:

"General Zhou, let's bear with it for a while, the bad horse is about to rush to Lintai, and he is pressed by the king of his own supernatural powers."

"You know what! Ma Zheng soldiers and horses entered the city, let alone repair for a day, who knows that they will not do anything bad in one day. Little lotus seeds! ”

"The subordinates are here."

"Immediately let the guards of the governance center go street by street to inform that if there is a woman in the house, you will not be allowed to leave the house for three days, you should also be careful, these are all outlaws who kill people and oversell goods."

The notoriety of the Black Turban Slave Army has a long history, since more than 10 years ago, rape and plunder have done all kinds of evil, and they are extremely cruel, after more than 10 years of development, the ugliest and cruel side of human nature has been infinitely enlarged and solidified.

Notoriety, as a woman, Zhou Kong thought of all the ugly and dark sides.

And human nature is like a basin of water taken from the world, whether it is clear or turbid, its essence is the all-encompassing water between heaven and earth, it is natural and pure, when artificially adding coloring and sewage, the water is no longer pure water, but a tumor, a tumor that can never be peeled off from the depths of human nature.
