Ma Gang has a specialty, just by hearing the sound of the horse's hooves stomping on the ground, he can roughly calculate how many people will be from the chaotic sound of the horse's hooves, and this specialty also allows Ma Gang to use it in battle, he can use this specialty to develop his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. So far, Ma Gang has never experienced a single defeat, and each time the army he led has always been able to retreat with one body.

With Ma Gang's order, the soldiers on the city tower became nervous, tense and stared into the darkness.

A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves came from the darkness, and Ma Chao took the lead, reflecting the bright fire on the castle tower, and he could clearly see Ma Gang standing on the castle tower.

Ma Chao knew Ma Gang's ability, so he ordered the cavalry behind him to slow down and stop when he was still one hundred and fifty steps away from the city.

At this time, Ma Chao glanced at Pound, and Pound immediately understood, took two soldiers, rode the horse a few steps forward, and stood there quietly motionless with the three human heads tied to the horse's head.

Ma Chao rode a white horse from behind to the front of Pang De and the others, the position where he stood was still in the dark, but there was a bright moon hanging in the night sky, reflecting the white moonlight, and the people on the city tower could basically see the city below.

"All the people in the castle tower are listening to me! Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao colluded with Han Sui to plot a rebellion, first killed Ma Fei, the Taishou of the Northland, and even wanted to put me to death, but fortunately, God favored me and I knew about it, and now I have killed it, and the heads of the three of them are behind me! Ma Chaolang shouted.

Ma Chao's voice was like thunder, and in the silent night, it was even clearer and louder. Roll into your ears. Let all the people in the tower hear it.

Ma Gang's hands pressed on the battlements. Looking around, you can vaguely see the human head in the hands of Pang De and others, it is indeed the three brothers Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao.

At this time, there were a lot of discussions on the city tower, Ma Fei was very easy-going in dealing with people, and there was never any shelf, approachable and amiable. He has a lot of prestige in the army.

A few days ago, Ma Rui summoned the generals and said that Ma Fei was seriously ill and was recuperating in Gaoping City, and that he was temporarily in charge of a matter of affairs in Beidi County, and many people believed it. In the next two days, Ma Rui wantonly framed the old department loyal to Ma Fei, fabricated all kinds of crimes, and killed them. The guan made the people in Niyang City panic.

But. Clear-eyed people know what happened, but Ma Rui is in power, Ma Fei is not in Niyang, and those people dare to be angry but dare not speak, and even a general of Ma Gang's level has to compromise with Ma Rui, not to mention those low-level officers.

Until this time, many people saw Ma Chao standing under the city with their own eyes, and after hearing the news of Ma Fei's murder from Ma Chao's mouth, they all exchanged heads and talked about it.

Ma Chao personally went to the city, and also carried the heads of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao, not only that, Ma Gang also vaguely saw Han Cheng's figure, he has always been smart, and immediately guessed that this was arranged by Ma Chao early in the morning, but it is a pity that Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao were still kept in the dark.

However, Ma Gang also had a question in his heart, why did Han Cheng fight with Ma Chao so hotly?

Ma Chao noticed a qiē on the city tower, he was bold, rode forward for twenty or thirty steps, and shouted at the city tower: "Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao conspired to rebel, the crime is only the three of them, and all the remaining soldiers are innocent, and they are still the soldiers of my Ma family." Soldiers, if you still admit that I am your lord, please open the gates of the city, and you will not be blamed for today's events, if you are obsessed, listen to the rumors of Ma Rui and others, and raise troops against me. As long as I give an order, the tens of thousands of troops that are swallowed in the distance will arrive in a moment, and when the mud and sun are leveled, none of you will survive! ”

The soldiers on the city tower all heard Ma Chao's shouts, but no one dared to move, but focused their eyes on Ma Gang.

All the men who defended the city tonight were Ma Gang's subordinates, and they absolutely did not dare to move without Ma Gang's order. And they also believe that Ma Gang, Ma Rui and others will definitely not be in the same boat.

Ma Gang frowned, standing there motionless, but in his mind he was thinking about whether Ma Chao's words were true or false, if he just talked nonsense casually to earn the city, then once he opened the city, he would end up like Ma Rui, and even, he would die worse than Ma Rui.

Ma Chao saw clearly under the city, Ma Gang was the key, he stared at Ma Gang, and walked straight forward, until he came to the bottom of the city wall, then stopped, raised his head, and said to Ma Gang: "Uncle, I know that you will never fight against me with Ma Rui and them, Ma Fei is dead, Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao are also dead, there should be no such infighting in our Ma family, but Ma Rui colluded with Han Sui, the purpose is to rebel, if our Ma clan can't unite and deal with foreign enemies together, Sooner or later, he will die at the hands of Han Sui. Uncle, nephew, please think about it, don't go the wrong way, otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life! ”

Ma Gang said: "Meng Qi, Ma Fei's death has nothing to do with me, I, like many soldiers, have been kept in the dark. However, I learned the news a day before the soldiers, when my three brothers were eyeing me, coercing and enticing me, and if I promised them to join them in opposing you, my family, and my subordinates would probably die. I had no choice, so I chose to compromise. However, my heart is still on your side. I can open the city gate and let you in, but you have to promise me that after you enter the city, you must not embarrass my family and subordinates, and do not kill a single soldier, and I will carry everything alone, and if you want to kill, it is enough to kill me alone. ”

Ma Chao heard Ma Gang confess like this, so he said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will never kill a soldier, nor will I kill my uncle, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, I am looking for Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao, although they are dead, but cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I will never let go of their families." If my uncle insists on protecting the families of the three thieves, Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao, and goes against me, then don't blame the little nephew for turning his face and not recognizing people, the little nephew brought tens of thousands of troops this time, just thirty miles away. As long as I give the order. In a few moments, the soldiers will be under the city of Niyang. At that time, it will not only be the families of Ma Rui and others who will suffer, but also the entire Niyang City. Uncle, think about it, what to do, I'm waiting for my uncle's reply! ”

Ma Gang thought for a while, and finally made a decision from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the people of the whole city should not suffer for the sake of the three traitors of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao. He immediately waved his hand at his subordinates and said, "Lift the defense and open the city gate." Welcome to the city! ”

After Ma Chao heard this voice, his pale face finally showed a faint smile, and he said to Ma Gang upstairs in the city: "Uncle can focus on the overall situation, Meng Qi thanked uncle!" ”

Ma Gang smiled at Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi, I hope you can fulfill your promise." ”

After speaking, Ma Gang turned around and went down the city tower, and Ma Chao beckoned his subordinates to enter the city outside, and the city gate slowly opened at this time, and Ma Gang walked out of the city gate. After seeing Ma Chao, he hugged his fists and said: "Sin will meet the lord!" ”

Ma Chao helped Ma Gang up. Hurriedly said: "What is the crime of uncle?" ”

Ma Gang heard Ma Chao's words, and he had no doubts in his heart, so he leaned next to Ma Chao and whispered: "Lord, you should only bring this hundred horses today, right?" ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then grinned: "I still can't hide anything from my uncle......"

Ma Gang said: "Although the city gate has been opened, but there are still many old departments of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao in the city, and now it is late at night, most of them are in the military camp, I will personally persuade them to surrender to the lord, as for the families of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao, they will be handed over to the lord to deal with, and the general will not ask again." ”

"There's Uncle Law!" Ma Chao understood what Ma Gang meant and arched his hand.

Ma Chao and the others entered Niyang City smoothly, Ma Gang gave Ma Chao a part of his troops, and he himself took people to the military camp to persuade Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao's old troops. Because Ma Gang knew that the old departments of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao and others were also kept in the dark like him, and they didn't know anything about the conspiracy of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao and others. As long as Ma Gang explained to them the fact that Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao and others had conspired with Han Sui to rebel and kill Ma Fei, I believe that those old troops would definitely turn to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao took Pang De and Han Cheng, under the guidance of the soldiers, first came to Ma Rui's house, and after opening the door, Ma Chao personally led people in to kill, regardless of men, women and children, all of them were killed, and no chickens and dogs were left.

Ma Rui's family did not resist at all, Ma Chao and others killed all 73 members of Ma Rui's family after dividing five by two, and then, Ma Chao and Pang Debing went to Ma Lun and Ma Shao's homes in two ways, and used the same method to destroy Ma Lun and Ma Shao.

That night, there were screams in Niyang City, and a total of 186 people from Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao were all killed, and Ma Chao was satisfied, and it could be regarded as revenge for his uncle Ma Fei.

When Ma Dai came to Niyang City, Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao had all been killed, and Ma Dai was one step late, but the anger in his chest was hard to dissipate, so he whipped the corpse again, chopped up the body of Ma Rui's son and fed it to the dogs, which gradually eliminated the anger in the letter.

The next day, Ma Chao released the charges of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao collaborating with the enemy, and mourned for Ma Fei, and held a funeral for Ma Fei in Niyang City.

After experiencing a turmoil and unrest within the Ma clan, the rest of the soldiers followed Ma Chao with iron hearts, and Ma Fei's old department was released to participate in the funeral together.

After the funeral, Ma Chao gathered all the soldiers to discuss who should fill the position of Beidi Taishou, Ma Fei's old department unanimously recommended Ma Dai, but Ma Chao did not agree, but let Ma Gang take the position of Beidi Taishou.

Ma Gang was flattered and felt incompetent, but Ma Chao insisted on his opinion, and Ma Gang was not easy to shirk, so he accepted the position of Beidi Taishou, and admired Ma Chao from the bottom of his heart.

After the affairs of Beidi County settled down, Ma Chao left Niyang with Pang De, Ma Dai, Han Cheng and others, and Ma Gang led all the soldiers to see him off.

Before leaving, Ma Gang glanced at Han Cheng and asked, "Lord, why are you with Han Sui's son?" What the hell is going on? ”

Ma Chao made a long story short, and said a few words in Ma Gang's ear, after Ma Gang listened, he suddenly became enlightened, and then hugged his fists and said: "Although the lord goes back to settle down first, please give me a few days, and I will definitely lead the army to meet the lord at that time." ”

Ma Chao nodded, waved at Ma Gang and the others, signaled that he was leaving, turned the horse's head, and left Niyang City with Ma Dai, Pang De, Han Cheng and others.

On the way back to Gaoping, Han Cheng came to Ma Chao's side and asked, "Brother Ma, your internal traitor has been solved, I have helped you a lot this time, when are you going to let me be the commander of this military division?" ”

"Brother Han, please rest assured, after returning to Gaoping City, the first thing I will do is announce that you will be my military advisor." Ma Chaodao.

Han Cheng said: "This is the best. In addition, we must also speed up the pace of action, we must destroy Han Sui before Han Sui launches an attack! ”

"With the strength we have?" Ma Chao asked.

Han Chengdao: "There are not many soldiers, noble spirits!" I have a plan, which can make Han Sui chaotic and his subordinates attack each other, Brother Ma only needs to sit on the mountain with me and watch the tiger fight. When Han Sui's vitality is greatly damaged, it will be the day when we send troops, and it will also be the end of Han Sui! ”

Ma Chao noticed Han Cheng's expression when he spoke, his face was pale, and his eyes shot a fierce light, as if he was going to eat someone. Han Sui is Han Cheng's father, Ma Chao has never understood, is it just because of the death of his wife and unborn child, Han Cheng has so much hatred for his father?

Or, between Han Cheng and Han Sui, what are some ulterior secrets? (To be continued......)
