And Ma Yuan led a team into the boundary of Wangping County, the county of Liaodong County. Five hundred elite riders were energetic and prepared to do a big fight with Ma Yuan. As he was going, Ma Yuan looked at the terrain ahead. The forest was dense and covered the sky and the sun. During this period, only one path passed by. There are many mountains on both sides, mixed with a path in the middle.

He strangled the reins and stopped the troops. When the deputy vanguard saw Ma Yuan's order to stop, he immediately stepped forward and asked why he didn't move forward quickly. Ma Yuan pointed to the terrain in front of him and said, "Look at this place, if we pass through, we will be in a low terrain. If the enemy is ambushed here, I'm afraid that I will retreat and can't enter. I will be made dumplings by them."

The deputy pioneer took a look and felt that what Ma Yuan said was reasonable. He took out the map and found that this was the only way to Wangping County. If he did not cross from here, the follow-up troops would have no way to go. So what should we do? It's not that the enemy will ambush here.

Ma Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate Zhao Ci. Since he can gather tens of thousands of people in such a short time and let the officers and soldiers of counties flee, it seems that he has some strength. This time we sent troops to fight, he would have found out the news for a long time, and naturally he would not let us get to his place safely. If I were him, such a good terrain here must be ambushed here. Such a dangerous terrain is enough to completely kill the vanguard troops.

"But this is the only path, and there is no other path to take." The deputy vanguard sighed and panicked.

Ma Yuan said, "Don't worry, it's getting late now. We will camp here, but we must take precautions. If they really have an ambush, they may come to attack, and their spies should have said that we have arrived here. You can immediately arrange people to camp and cook. I'll go to the front to have a look.

"Why don't I go with you?" The deputy pioneer asked.

Ma Yuan shook his hand and said, "No, I'll take more than a dozen people to have a look. You are responsible for commanding here and tie up the camp first. This is the top priority."

The deputy vanguard took the order and arranged for the soldiers to camp and cook. Ma Yuan led more than a dozen people to quietly go to the front to explore. He looked at the terrain and did not dare to enter. Instead, he chose to climb a nearby peak to see if there was really an ambush on both sides of the road. It was impossible for them not to cook this night. If there were really an ambush, he might see it himself.

Ma Yuan greeted the soldiers and began to climb up the mountain. The trees here are dense and difficult to walk, but you can't cut down the trees for fear of frightening the ambush enemy. After hardships, several people finally climbed to the middle of the mountain and looked at the front, but they saw the trees that covered the sky and could not see the situation below at all.

Ma Yuan sighed and made a quick decision. He directly crossed the cliff and went there to have a look nearby. This shocked the soldiers who followed him. The road to go there is extremely thrilling. If you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff behind. If you are found by the enemy, there will be no way out and you will die.

Although the soldier's worry is reasonable, for the sake of the overall situation, Ma Yuan resolutely decided to do so. If he is found, he may not be able to escape with the help of the forest cover. He made up his mind, and the soldiers had no choice but to follow him. A team of people worked hard to cross the cliff and marched towards the mountain.

Near the sunset, the sky is full of red clouds, as if the sky is stained with blood, and it seems that the air is still full of blood. Suddenly, a gust of wind came out, and Ma Yuan seemed to ask about the smell of fireworks and cooking. The wind is blowing from the front. Other soldiers also smelled it. At this moment, they smelled the fragrance of rice. They couldn't help but move their throats, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and their stomachs were also purring.

"There must be enemies ahead. We will quietly lurk in and see how many of them ambushed us." Ma Yuan said.

"General, what should you do if you are found after such a close look?" The soldier asked.

Ma Yuan said, "How can you get a tiger without entering the tiger's den? We are in the dark. They never thought that we would come here to visit their reality."

The soldiers felt that it made sense, so they continued to move forward. It didn't take long for them to see military flags in the forest in front of them, pressing the camp, cooking smoke curling up, and they were cooking. What surprised Ma Yuan and the soldiers was that countless rolling stone arrows were prepared between the trees. From this perspective, if the path was attacked on both sides, there was nothing to avoid. Even if it is a thousand troops, don't want to retreat. If you want to pass, it's even more impossible.

"It seems that the enemy has been well prepared. Let's go back now." Ma Yuan led the crowd back to the camp. At this moment, when the food was ripe, Ma Yuan ordered the troops to have a meal and prepare to meet the enemy.

After dinner, Ma Yuan found a few small soldiers to discuss the battle together. He decided to let the enemy take the initiative to attack and rub their sharpness first. He led half of the cavalry out of the camp and ambushed on the periphery, while the others stayed in the camp, laughing and singing loudly to let the enemy know that my army was so leisurely this night. They must be unbearable to come and sneak attack. At that time, there will be an internal and external attack, which will definitely defeat them.

"What if the enemy doesn't come?" Someone asked.

Ma Yuan laughed and said, "If the enemy doesn't come, then we will really have a good night. Isn't it happy?" However, you can't drink in the army. Although I am an alcoholic, no one is allowed to touch alcohol at this moment, otherwise I know that there is no mercy.

Everyone took the order and arranged a pass. Ma Yuan quietly ambushed outside the camp with more than 200 cavalry, and the soldiers in the camp were pulling out a large part, laughing and singing loudly. Pay attention to let the enemy hear their voice.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, nothing happened. Some soldiers couldn't help asking, "General, will they not come?"

Ma Yuan also had some doubts. Did the enemy see through his hungry trick and really plan to stick to it and not take the initiative to attack? Just as he was puzzled, a crowd suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was a slight sound of horseshoes. It seemed that the horses' hoofs were wrapped, so the sound was very small.

"Come on, everyone, don't move, let them go." Ma Yuan whispered. The soldiers were so ordered that they didn't even dare to breathe. With the faint moonlight, it can be seen clearly. There are no less than three or 400 people, most of whom are soldiers, and only the leaders are riding horses. Ma Yuan's troops did not move and let them go.

Besides, although there were many people laughing and singing in the camp, more people were ambushed around with arrows and bows. Seeing someone break into the gate of the camp, those singers and jokers immediately turned off the lights and extinguished the fire and disappeared.

Before the attackers could think about what was going on, they saw the fire on all sides of the camp, and countless torches were thrown at them, flying towards them like heavy rain with dense arrows. The leading general knew that he had been deceived and immediately led the troops to withdraw. The people in the camp took advantage of the situation to chase them out and killed the other party.

The sneaker did not dare to turn back to fight. He only kept running in the direction of the way he came. As he was running, he suddenly heard a drum in front of him, and then there was a fire on all sides. Hundreds of people suddenly rushed out with torches and cut off their retreat.

The first general, riding a tall horse, holding a big axe, shaken his spirits, and rushed over first. When the mount of the enemy general heard the sound of drums and saw the fire, he was suddenly frightened and jumped. He almost overturned the general to the ground. Fortunately, he finally stabilized the horse.

"Bold thief, how dares to attack my camp at night and don't report it." Ma Yuan waved the huge axe and roared. The sound was like thunder, making the whole valley tremble.

When the thief general saw this full of popularity, he couldn't help but feel guilty and said in a bulging voice, "I am the captain of General Zhao. Zhao Qi, a native of Nanyang, is also, who are you?"

Ma Yuan said loudly, "There is no one in Youzhou. Pioneer Ma Pingyi is right. The thief can spare you for not getting off the horse quickly when he sees me.

Then Zhao Qi looked at Ma Yuan, with thick eyebrows, a wide head, and a huge axe in his hand. I'm afraid that there are hundreds of pounds of power, and he can't help but feel a little fire in his heart, but now is not the time to surrender. He has more than 400 soldiers. They seem to have a big difference between their strength and himself. Although he is now surrounded, he should be As long as you rush out of here and enter the path, if the enemy dares to pursue again, it will hit a backhand.

Zhao Qi thought about this, gave an order, and rushed forward with the soldiers. Ma Yuan saw that the man actually wanted to rush out and waved an axe to attack him directly. When Zhao Qi saw Ma Yuan killing him, he did not dare to be careless and immediately attacked Ma Yuan with a gun.

Between Ma Yuan roared, an axe split the long gun stabbed by Zhao Qi, and then the axe waved flatly and cut Zhao Qi's neck straight. Zhao Qi was shocked and couldn't avoid it. He hurriedly had a gun block, but who knew that Ma Yuan was too strong and directly cut off Zhao Qi's gun barrel. Under the huge impact, Zhao Qi himself was also knocked down.

Ma Yuan immediately turned over and got off the horse and cut it down with an axe. Zhao Qi was eager to survive. He rolled over and rolled out of half a meter. Looking at Ma Yuan's axe, he directly cut out a big hole on the ground, which was more than ten inches deep. Zhao Qi couldn't help swallowing his saliva secretly. Unexpectedly, he met such a fierce person when he sent troops.

Seeing Ma Yuan running towards him again, Zhao Qi flew up, got on a nearby horse, pulled the reins, and was about to escape. Unexpectedly, before the horse moved, Ma Yuan also flew up, stood directly on the horse, held an axe and cut Zhao Qi again.

Zhao Qi trembled all over, immediately rolled off the horse, and then rolled on the ground to avoid the trampling of the horse's hoof. Unfortunately, this roll happened to hit my head on a stone, and I only felt a bang, and my whole body was unconscious.

Ma Yuan held an axe, cut down an enemy soldier who rushed up, went straight to Zhao Qi, pinched his neck and grabbed him from the ground. Seeing that the guy just fainted, there was no danger to his life.

"Your generals have been caught by me, and those who disarm can avoid death." Ma Yuan ascended to a high place and said loudly with Zhao Qi.

When the soldiers heard that the general was caught, they had no intention of fighting. They put down their knives, guns and halberd and squatted down to surrender. Ma Yuan's soldiers put away those weapons and escorted the crowd into the camp. Seeing that Zhao Qi was not dead, Ma Yuan had another plan in his heart that he could easily pass through the dangerous place where he was ambushed in front of him without spending a single soldier.

Zhao Qi was awakened by cold water. After waking up, he scolded, saying that if a man died, he would kill him. If he wanted to kill him, he would kill him. He would not surrender. Ma Yuan laughed and said, "I don't care whether you like to surrender or not. Now I can completely cut you with an axe, but it's of great use to keep you. If you can cooperate, I guarantee that you can get some positions in our army after that, and there will be a bright future. If you don't cooperate, I don't care, as long as I have your clothes.

"What the hell do you want?" Zhao Qi asked.

"I just want to destroy the chaotic party. Your uprising against the Han Dynasty is really a disaster for the people. Ma Yuan said.

Zhao Qi sprayed a mouthful of water, gritted his teeth and scolded: "The Han Emperor was mediocre, spoiled eunuchs, treacherous ministers were in charge, and the people were not able to make a living. When we rose up against Han, we followed the will of the people of the world and benefit the world. Is it a disaster to the people? Your help to abuse is the harm to the people.

Ma Yuan said, "My ancestor general, loves the people and is dedicated to the people. He encourages large-scale water conservancy in the counties under his jurisdiction and encourages production. Now it is the spring planting season, but you rebel and destroy the people's food production, which will cause the people to have no food in the coming year. Is this the fault of the Son of heaven? This is caused by you people. Together with the war, it is the people who suffer. Now my Liaodong County only wants to develop well so that the people can have enough to live and work in peace, but you have invaded our county. What's the reason? Is it also for the world's life?"

Ma Yuan's words made Zhao Qi speechless. With Zhao Ci's rebellion, he really wanted to get a mouthful of food. However, when he entered Liaodong County, he did see the scene of the people being willing to produce. This was exactly what he needed, but Zhao Ci destroyed the water conservancy and occupied the people's food, which also made him sad. However, Zhao Ci naturally had a speech. He was a small official and naturally did not dare to argue. Now after listening to Ma Yuan's words and thinking about the scene he saw in Liaodong County, he really felt that what Ma Yuan said was reasonable.

Ma Yuan saw that Zhao Qi was no longer stubborn and helped him up and said, "I think you are also a peaceful person in the world. Why don't you follow my lord to benefit the people? As long as you obey us, I promise that you will see what you want in the future, and you will naturally not be an idle person in our army. I, Ma Yuan, used to be a drunkard on the street. Later, I was seen by my lord and brought back to Liaodong. Now I have military information and become the vanguard. If I hadn't met him, I would still have sighed at the secular world and cursed a drunk on the street of the traitor party, and would I have had a chance to seek benefits for the world?

Finally, Zhao Qi was willing to surrender and agreed to Ma Yuan's plan to help him understand the obstacles on the road. Ma Yuan was overjoyed and discussed his plan with Zhao Qi in detail.
