Li Yan rode on the horse in dismay, feeling inexplicably sad.

The fire on the shore behind him was burning fiercely, and the boiling water in front of him was still not extinguished. What filled his ears was the wailing of the officials like slaughtering pigs. The battle was defeated like this. The cruel facts gave the young Li Yan a blow! Now, don’t say anything about suppressing the thieves and making contributions. From now on, the career of the officialdom has become smooth, and I am afraid that even the leader of Xiang will not be able to save.

Looking back on the fifth day of the fifth day when I went to Fuyang County, I was still full of confidence and full of energy. I never thought that I would end like this.

"well."

Li Yan sighed a long time, and his despair deeply enveloped him. He pulled out his sword with his backhand, closed his eyes and wiped it on his neck.

"call out!"

"bite!"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air, Li Yan felt his arm numb, the sword in his hand had flew away, and with a squeak, it penetrated into the swamp, and only a slight wave appeared on the water surface and disappeared without a shadow.

On the swamp shore, Guan Hai shot Li Yan's sword with an arrow, then threw out a rope cover, tied Li Yan's shoulder and dragged him to the shore like a pig. Then he grinned and showed his white steel teeth, and said, "Hehe, catch an official."

The chief general was captured, and the last trace of resistance of the official army disappeared, and they threw away their weapons and surrendered.

An ambush without any suspense finally settled.

Eight hundred bandits were determined to be unprepared, and the three hundred officials were hit with a devastating blow without any defense. The two armies had not even launched a formal contact war. The 300 officials brought by Li Yan were destroyed and never escaped. Eight hundred bandits were able to win, and Ma Yue perfectly realized his strategic intentions.

When it was dark, the battlefield was cleaned up.

Pei Yuanshao ran over and reported to Ma Yue: "Boqi, in this battle, two brothers were fainted by smoke, one was rescued and the other was not alive. There were 307 officers in the government army, 21 were burned to death, 19 were burned to death, and two were trapped in the mud and could not be found. The remaining 265 were caught by us."

Guan Hai said: "I also caught an officer."

"Bring that officer up." Ma Yue's eyebrows were covered with a shadow and said in a deep voice, "The rest of them stripped naked, confiscated the weapons, and tied them up and threw them into the snow, allowing them to fend for themselves."

Liu Yan next to her frowned slightly and couldn't bear to say, "They will be frozen to death."

Ma Yuesenran said: "I am the leader of the eight hundred bandits, not the leader of the official army. Their life and death have nothing to do with me."

"There's no need to strip your clothes and confiscate your weapons."

"I have my own reason, don't say too much!"

Liu Yan pursed her lips and sighed quietly.

With the sound of footsteps, Guan Hai was already holding Li Yan in disheveled clothes to Ma Yue. Ma Yue's eyes fell on Li Yan's face like a knife. Li Yan greeted Ma Yue's fierce gaze, and his body was stiff for a moment, but soon a sense of arrogance surged in his heart, looking up at the sky, and groaned from his nostrils.

Ma Yue laughed in his heart. He didn't expect that the scholars of this era really had this virtue and had no sense of captive awareness. Can you cover up the fact that you were defeated and captured by putting on your face? Can you show your demeanor of a national scholastic scholar who would rather die than surrender? When you encounter an unreasonable person, you can cut off your head with one piece of cake. Let's see where you buy regret medicine?

How many people can truly die?

Ma Yue hated these guys who pretended to behave the most in his life.

"Guan Hai!"

Ma Yue shouted loudly.

Guan Hai's wolf-like eyes were cast on Ma Yue and responded sternly: "Here."

"Drag this defeated general and behead him!"

"yes!"

Guan Hai agreed, his eyes were full of murderous intent. He rushed forward and dragged Li Yan like a dead dog. He stepped forward and walked towards the swamp. The captured official army saw it from afar, all of whom looked like earth and looked horrified. Li Yan's face was also pale and his body trembled slightly, but he finally clenched his teeth and did not say a word of begging for mercy from his mouth.

Guan Hai dragged Li Yan to the edge of the swamp and kicked Li Yan's leg bend. Li Yan groaned and knelt down on one knee. Guan Hai's eyes sharply, and the steel knife in his hand was raised high. The sharp cold light seemed extremely cold in the dusk. Many of the teeth of the official troops had already begun to fight.

Li Yan gritted his teeth tightly, and his steel teeth had already bitten his lips and bleeding, but he never said a word.

Guan Hai hesitated for a moment and looked back at Ma Yue. A hint of awe of awe passed through Ma Yue's black eyes. Although he didn't know what the young official officer was named and how old he was, he already believed that this was a man with a strong bones. It would be a pity if such a man died like this.

Even if he will become an enemy in the future, even if he will pose a threat to himself in the future, Ma Yue decided to let him go, for nothing else, just because he is a real man, a man who can die calmly is worthy of respect in any case.

Seeing Ma Yue shaking his head, Guan Hai was relieved and escorted Li Yan back to Ma Yue.

Li Yan shouted in a deep voice: "Why haven't you taken action?"

Ma Yue said: "You are a man. I don't want to kill you. Are you willing to serve me?"

Li Yan's eyes showed cold disdain and said in a deep voice: "You'd better kill me."

Ma Yue raised his head to the sky, laughed three times, and said loudly: "I had known that you would not have been able to serve as a bandit, but I would not kill you, so I would like to tell you the name?"

Li Yan said arrogantly: "Li Yan, Nanyang, is that."

"Li Yan!?" Ma Yue's eyes narrowed, he felt relieved, and said loudly, "It turns out that you are Li Yan."

Li Yan was confused: "Do you know me?"

Ma Yue smiled and said, "I heard about my great name for a long time, but I have never met you. When I saw you today, I am indeed worthy of my reputation."

Li Yan had a cold expression and said calmly: "You defeated general."

Ma Yue smiled slightly and suddenly said inexplicably: "Thank you Mr. Li Yan for your help. I will enter Fuyang County tomorrow. I will thank you very much."

Li Yan's face changed and he said in a lost voice: "Help you... Fuyang County... what do you mean?"

Ma Yue ignored Li Yan and shouted sternly: "Where is Guan Hai?"

Guan Hai took a step forward and replied suddenly: "Here!"

"Immediately click on the 200 brothers, put on the robes and weapons of the government army, and rushed to Fuyang County overnight."

"Uh..." Guan Hai almost choked to death with a spit, and said in surprise, "Just... give 200 people? Go... go and fight Fuyang County?"

Ma Yue shouted, "What?"

Guan Hai took a breath of air conditioning, looked fierce, and turned around and left.

"return!"

Ma Yueduo shouted, Guan Hai obediently stopped.

Ma Yue said: "After you arrive at the city, you can lead 50 people as outposts, pretending to be Li Yan's official army. Now that the bandits have defeated the bandits, Li Yan and his team are behind him. For fear of the county magistrate's worry, you can only lead the team back to the city in advance to report the victory."

Li Yan's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "How dare you... how dare you?"

Ma Yue looked expressionless and continued to instruct Guan Hai: "When the city gate is opened, he will lead his troops to swarm into the city. Just guard the east gate, and do not fight with the enemy, nor do you go deep into the city. When I lead a large group of people to arrive, I will make a decision."

"yes."

Guan Hai shouted loudly, turned around and went to count the people.

"Pei Yuanshao."

Seeing that he was called, Pei Yuanshao also took a step forward and obeyed the orders with his head held high.

"I ordered you to lead 200 people, follow Guan Hai and go to ambush outside the west gate of Yuyang County. I expect that after the attack on Fuyang, the city officials and wealthy families will escape from the west gate. But when the west gate opening opens and the suspension bridge falls, you will lit a torch immediately and all the ambush will be sent out. You must force them back to the city and not escape."

"Abide by the order!"

Pei Yuanshao roared and turned around to count the people.

"The other brothers seized the time to rest, and took full care of their energy and followed me to Yuyang County. After taking the county, everyone would drink a big bowl of wine and eat a lot of meat!"

The bandit cheered, and the brave one took advantage of the situation and asked, "Big leader, what about the beautiful ladies you promised to us?"

Ma Yuesenran said: "I want to find a woman, but I still say the same thing. If anyone dares to harm the poor, don't blame me for turning against me!"

"What the big leader means, if we enter the city later, as long as we don't harm the poor, what will happen next to us?"

"That's what it means!" Ma Yue said sternly, "But I said ugly things ahead. If you really steal ten or eight women back, you can't catch up when you run away. You guy will carry it on your back!"

The bandits were shocked when they heard this, while the rest of the bandits burst into laughter.

Amid the bandits' laughter, Li Yan's face was pale and his expression was anxious. Only now did Li Yan truly realize that it was not unfair to lose to this "unknown" bandit's army this time! This person is not only agile and decisive, but also very smart and good at controlling people. You can only know a little about these bandits' reverence for him.

According to the bandit's design, if there is no preparation in Fuyang County, it will most likely lose the city. Once the city is lost, the upper party will hold the responsibility... Thinking of this, Li Yan shivered and did not dare to think about it anymore. What made him even more frightened was that the order of the general He Jin of the current dynasty was in the city. If there was an accident, Li Yan would not be enough to cut even if he had ten heads.
