But at this moment, the news of the victory of the plateau came, and the two brothers were indeed disappointed, the Yan army was so useless that they couldn't resist even a month, and at the same time, they were also worried, worried that the anti-plateau alliance would fall apart because of this.

Therefore, Zhao Xin spent a night of hard work, and finally came up with a set of rhetoric, telling Ma Sheng's father, now the heroes are difficult to ride the tiger, and they must be opposed, once the plateau returns victoriously, that is, the future of the heroes. The other heroes surrendered to the plateau, and there may be a glimmer of life, but the four heroes led by Ma Sheng and others will never be able to escape, and the plateau will definitely use them to deter other heroes, and they will also seize their family wealth and property, just like they did to the Zhao family at the beginning. Only by acting immediately can there be a glimmer of life.

Zhao Xin's remarks are not all wrong, but a little exaggerated, after Ma Sheng's father heard it, they also thought so, so Ma Sheng immediately contacted the other three leaders Haoqiang and explained the benefits and disadvantages to them, and the other three also thought that there was only one way to go, so the four of them immediately recruited other heroes to come to Majiazhuang to gather.

Because Ma Sheng, Yao Jiang, Qiu Rui, and Zhu Ping had reached a consensus, and Zhao Xin lobbied hard and exaggerated the crisis, the vast majority of Haoqiang also agreed with Jian Yiyi who took action immediately. Although a few Xiaohaoqiang were still a little hesitant, they had to agree when they saw the general trend.

Seeing that all the heroes agreed to do something immediately, Ma Sheng was also very happy, and immediately asked all the heroes to report the number of people they could dispatch. At the beginning, only one powerful force of the Zhao family could pull out more than 1,000 people to compete with the government, but because most of the powerful people have been forced to divide their households, the number of people who can be mobilized has also been greatly reduced, so the total of 37 powerful people can dispatch more than 20,000 people, but this number is not small.

At this time, Zhao Xin proposed two suggestions to the heroes: first, after the meeting was dismissed, all the heroes immediately went back to rectify the personnel, no matter what the reason, they must rush to Majiazhuang within five days to gather, so that everyone can join forces and concentrate their forces to attack Daijun. And within five days, all Haoqiang who did not rush to Majiazhuang would be regarded as a mutiny, and after the defeat of Daijun, all Haoqiang would join forces to attack and divide his family property equally. The second is to organize the powerful men in the Daijun City, light fires in the city, create chaos, and the two sides should cooperate with each other to attack the Daijun City in one fell swoop.

Ma Sheng and the others all agreed with Zhao Xin's two proposals, because they were also worried that although some Haoqiang also agreed to come down and act together, it was difficult to say whether they would take action after they went back. They may find all sorts of excuses to stall and let others do it first, while they wait for a few days and wait for the situation to become clearer before taking sides.

In fact, there are really a few Haoqiang who have such a calculation in their hearts, and they will immediately call themselves sick after returning home, delay it for a few days, and let others do things first, but Zhao Xin's first construction is undoubtedly to cut off the back road of these people, so all Haoqiang have no room to retreat and wait and see, so they can only follow everyone to do things together. And Guan Jian, who succeeded in this move, was to capture Daijun, and only in this way could he coordinate with the Yan army and help the Yan army defeat the plateau. After Yu Haoqiang joined forces, although there were a lot of troops, there were no large-scale siege equipment, and the best way to capture Daijun was naturally to combine inside and outside.

Ma Sheng, Yao Jiang, Qiu Rui, and Zhu Ping all have some industries in Daijun Town, and there are also several Haoqiang who have industries in Daijun Town, and a few people can actually make up four or five hundred people when they touch them. It's more than enough to create some chaos in the town of Daijun. Everyone also discussed and decided, five let Yao Jiang go to Daijun City to preside over the overall situation, five days later in Majiazhuang, the same night to attack Daijun, Yao Jiang was responsible for setting fire to the city to create chaos, and the others saw the fire outside the city, and immediately launched an attack.

In addition, there is another important task, which is to liaise with the Yan army, without the support of the Yan army, then it is impossible to succeed. After discussing with Zhonghaoqiang, they decided to send Zhao Xin and Ma Yu to contact Yan Jun. During this period of time, Zhao Xin's cousin Xiàn has quite a bit of the style of a vertical and horizontal family, and communicating with Yan Jun is exactly what he needs this ability. And Ma Yu is Ma Sheng's son, who can represent the powerful forces of Daijun, so to contact the Yan army, and even to say that the Yan army must be dispatched.

After all the plans were discussed and decided, the heroes left Majiazhuang and went home to organize the personnel. And Zhao Xin and Ma Yu also took ten servants and set off to Shanggu County to contact Yan Jun.

On the third day, more than ten Haoqiang led the personnel of their own organization to report to Majiazhuang. Ma Sheng was also very happy, he had already prepared the wine and meat, and immediately ordered the cattle to be slaughtered and the sheep slaughtered, and to recruit all the heroes and the people they brought. Then all the heroes came one after another, and by the morning of the fifth day, all the thirty-seven heroes had arrived, and there was no shortage of one.

However, after counting the number of people, it was found that the total number of people was less than 15,000, and there were about 200 chariots, which was quite different from the original estimate of more than 20,000 people. It turned out that the plateau wiped out the Zhao family, which did bring a lot of shock to the Daijun area, many farmers heard that the heroes were going to do something, and they did not dare to follow, after all, most of the people were afraid of death, although some farmers agreed to come down at the time, but the family fled overnight, and some were followed by the road, but they sneaked away in the middle of the road.

In addition, after some powerful people divided their households, their cohesion was also greatly reduced, and some people of the same clan were assigned to the fields, but they thought that this kind of life was very good, and they had fields and lands for their own independent doors, and they had no worries about life, and they didn't have to look at the face of the head of the family, so why rebel? If you return to your past life, you will have nothing left, and of course you don't want to rebel with the heroes. Of course, if there is enough time, coercion and temptation, you can still force these people to do it together, but because the regulations died a few days ago, within five days, no matter the reason, they must rush to Majia Village to gather, otherwise they will be punished as betrayal, and the heroes have to bring as many people as they can recruit, and as a result, almost every person organized by Haoqiang is at least one or two percent worse than they expected, and some Haoqiang is even worse than nearly half.

In fact, the personnel is only one aspect, don't look at the more than 15,000 people, the number of chariots is also more than 200, most of which are replaced by civilian chariots, and the real chariots are less than 30. There are only more than 700 sets of armor, and nearly two-thirds of them do not have regular weapons, and there are quite a few hoes, kitchen knives, iron pickaxes, etc. There are also nearly 3,000 people who can't even divide the farm tools with iron, so they can only make up the numbers with a wooden stick. If there is one word to describe it, it is a rabble.

Such a situation also made Ma Sheng, Qiu Rui, and Zhu Ping a little unexpected, but the situation has developed to this point, and there is no way to turn back, so we can't dismiss all the heroes and strongmen back. Therefore, they can only comfort themselves, fortunately, all the heroes and strongmen have arrived, and no one is absent, which is very good, and it is not a lot to have more than 15,000 people, I heard that the defenders in the Daijun town are only a few thousand. After the Daijun is defeated, there will be weapons, armor, chariots and so on, and when the time comes, if you recruit more people, there will be more troops, and you will all be better.

The personnel are all here, and the people also held a very grand oath-taking ceremony, slaughtering three animals and seven labors, sacrificing to the heavens, and also made a special article to denounce the crimes of the plateau, and also cited the example of the occurrence of the country's ** during the reign of King Zhou Li, to illustrate the correctness of the uprising and so on. Then the thirty-seven heroes who participated in the incident formed a blood alliance, and for the time being, they must work together to drive out the plateau, restore the old order of the county, and so on.

The whole swearing-in ceremony was busy for a morning, and after lunch at noon, the heroes set off on the road, leading the team of people and horses, and went straight to Daijun.

Fifteen thousand people are indeed not a minority, and they have traveled more than ten miles from head to end on the road. Of course, the heroes will not walk by themselves, they all stand on the car, with their chests and stomachs protruding, showing off their might, and some people wave their weapons in their hands, shouting that they must drive away the plateau this time, etc., and they are also quite majestic.

Majiazhuang is about forty miles away from the county seat. Although it is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was stipulated that the place for a one-day march was thirty miles. But this refers to the marching distance under the condition of ensuring the soldier's body and combat effectiveness, and it does not mean that the soldier can only walk thirty miles in a day. Without worrying about encountering enemy troops, it is very normal to walk a distance of two or three quarters a day, and sometimes even four to a quarter.

Therefore, although the heroes did not lead a regular army, most of them were from peasant families, and walking was certainly not a problem, and after an afternoon of marching, it was only more than ten miles away from Daijun, and all the way was safe and sound, and there was no obstruction.

At this moment, the army met the personnel sent by Yao Jiang to contact them, and told Ma Sheng and others that Yao Jiang had made preparations in the city, and had also bought off some soldiers who were defending the city, and after the second watch tonight, they would light a fire in the city to create chaos, and as soon as Ma Sheng and others saw the fire, they would immediately respond to the siege, and the city gate would automatically open.

Ma Sheng and the others were also very happy when they heard this, at this time there were still two or three hours before the second watch, and the time was completely sufficient, and after walking for an afternoon, everyone was also a little tired, so Ma Sheng also ordered to rest in place and leave after nightfall.

When they set off, they brought a lot of flatbread, dough and other dry foods, and the heroes also brought wine and meat, so everyone sat around on the spot, and some people also lit a few fires, eating and drinking, talking and laughing, very lively. If you don't know, you might think they're doing a picnic.
