At noon, a big flag fluttered in the north of Sui County, with four big words "Eight Hundred Bandits" written on it, "Eight Hundred Bandits" and under the banner, Ma Yue stood solemnly with his knife, with a frosty expression. A bandit took off the horn from his back and put it into his mouth, and blew it hard with his cheeks.

In an instant, the heavy and long sound of the horns had already soared into the sky.

The long sound of the horns woke the bandits from their sleep, and rushed out of the deep courtyard of the rich family, running towards the direction where the sound of the horns came. Although they ran for more than a hundred miles from the night before yesterday to noon yesterday, and had a fierce battle with the official army in Xiaowai, Sui County yesterday afternoon, they were all young and strong men. After half a night of indulgence, their physical strength and spirit have almost recovered.

Guan Hai's two hundred people came to meet after completing the task. Although they were exhausted, they had no time to rest. The eight hundred bandits must move in immediately and head for a new journey.

After conquering Sui County yesterday afternoon, Ma Yue did not pursue all his strength to kill the officials and gentry who fled from Sui County. The news of Sui County's fall must have reached Fuyang. I believe Qin Jie and others already knew it. What will they react after hearing the news? How will they deal with it? A hideous smile bloomed on the corner of Ma Yue's mouth. At that time, it would be difficult for the Nanyang soldiers to not be mobilized.

Let those poor Nanyang soldiers compete with the eight hundred bandits. At that time, I am afraid that they will press the gourd and start to take care of their heads and tails, right?

The sound of the horns stopped abruptly, and the chaotic bandit formation suddenly became silent. The needles were heard. They all stood up straight and stared straight ahead with bright eyes. Ma Yue nodded in his heart, and what made him happy was not only the spirit of energy displayed by these bandits.

Ma Yue looked around and saw that all the bandits had a solemn expression. Except for the dry food bags on their shoulders and weapons in their hands, there was no extra debris on all the bandits. It was obvious that this group of former farmers were gradually getting rid of the deep-rooted control of them by the small farmers' consciousness.

...

The Nanyang army was starving and ambushed outside the city for a whole night. Until dawn the next day and the officers and soldiers were about to freeze, there was no movement in Fuyang City! Zou Jing could no longer calm down and condemned the fast horses to contact the official army in the city, and reported that no abnormalities were found in the city. The official army searched the entire Fuyang City, but no trace of bandits was found.

He shivered with a trembling coldness. Qin Jie was awakened by the severe cold air. After coughing twice, he looked at Zou Jing, whose eyebrows and eyes were covered with frost, and asked, "Tiyu, are there any movements in the bandits?"

Zou Jing shook his head with a serious expression and said, "Sir, there is still no movement."

Qin Jie changed his expression: "Ziyu, could it be that our army was not afraid of being noticed by the bandits, and the bandits did not dare to launch a sneak attack and flee straight away?"

Zou Jing shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. The dense forest is surrounded by horses, and there are many hunters in the nearby mountains. If there is a large group of bandits, they will inevitably be unable to escape the suspicion. News will have been heard back long ago."

Qin Jie frowned and said, "This is strange."

Zou Jing pondered: "The things that the officials at the same time also felt were unusual, but for a moment they really couldn't think of any difference."

While the two were surprised, two more riders rushed over and shouted in panic: "Sir, it's not good! It's not good!"

Qin Jie's heart was so shocked that he flicked his body and sat up, and said in a daze: "Why are you panicking?"

Two riders galloped and approached, and one of the knights turned down from the horse's back and rolled and crawled before approaching Qin Jie's soft couch, shouting in a crying voice: "Mr. Qin, the youngest is a village chief under the command of Zhang, the county magistrate of Sui County. Eight hundred bandits suddenly arrived yesterday afternoon. The county magistrate Zhang responded hastily, but the county magistrate Zhang was killed, and the county magistrate Kuai was captured, and Sui County has already fallen."

"ah!?"

Zou Jing was stunned.

Qin Jie was stunned for two seconds, and his originally gray face suddenly turned red. He opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of blood, shouting: "I'm a trap! I'm a trap for Ma Yuesheng to attack the east and west! Ziyu misled me, Ziyu misled me, Ziyu missed me~~~"

Qin Jie shouted three times, fainting on the soft couch.

"grown ups!"

Zou Jing was startled and hurried forward to look forward. Fortunately, Qin Jie still had a breath, so he calmed down and stood up to say to the messenger beside him: "Transfer the order, the army will immediately start and enter Fuyang City, and then send a quick horse to notify Huang Zhong, Cai Mao, and Wei He, and lead the army into the city immediately! Go!"

The three fast horses swept away the wind and turned to the north of Fuyang City, west of the city and south of the city, Zou Jing collapsed on the snow, his eyes were dim, he was caught in the trap, and he was indeed trapped, and he was caught in the trap of the traitor Ma Yue! Although his younger sister Zou Yuniang may not be responsible for the thief, she must have been used by the bandits. She was able to escape from the thief's nest. This is a flaw. She should have known it long ago and thought of it long ago!

Thinking of the pain, Zou Jing stomped his feet resentful, and his intestines were so blue that he regretted it.

Two hours later, the back hall of Fuyang County Government Office.

Qin Jie finally woke up quietly. In front of the soft couch, Zou Jing was dejected and ashamed. Cai Mao, Huang Zhong, Wei He and other generals were either filled with righteous indignation or looked sad, and they all had no idea.

"Bang!"

Huang Zhong attacked with his palms and said angrily: "Sir, please allow the general to capture that little bitch and stab him to death with a sword in front of all the generals! I dare to collude with the bandits to deceive the official army and make me misleading the big things. It is really hateful, hateful!"

Zou Jing looked miserable and did not dare to stop him. If Zou Yuniang really confirmed the charge of being a thief, not only would she not be able to protect her life, but she was afraid that the entire Zou family in Nanyang would suffer! This is the great crime of destroying the nine clans, little sister, little sister, the Zou family is probably going to be destroyed by you.

Qin Jie waved his hand weakly and said quietly: "The mistakes of Sui County are the faults that our officials do not observe. Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to say too much. After 800 bandits attack Sui County, they will inevitably go south at night and rush to Jiangxia and leave. Now our army is a hundred miles away from it. If we cannot catch up, the Jiangxia soldiers will not know where they are, and the situation is in danger."

Zou Jing sighed and said, "Sir, Jing shouldn't have said much about today, but he didn't say anything but he couldn't speak up."

Qin Jie said coldly and quietly: "Tell me."

Zou Jing said: "Ma Yuezhi's plan is far better than us. Under his control, the eight hundred bandits can no longer talk to the Yellow Turban bandits in the past. Such pursuit and suppression may not be a solution. If you act carelessly, you may be taken advantage of by the bandits. It is better to retreat and seize the city and defend it, and wait for the bandits to attack. This is the best strategy."

Qin Jie glanced at Zou Jing coldly and said in a dark voice: "Does Ziyu want me to die quickly?"

Zou Jing changed his expression: "Why did you say this sir?"

Qin Jie said in a dark voice: "Old Master He is still in the hands of the bandits. The general should know the news soon. At that time, the court will be furious. How can Ziyu save me?"

Zou Jing was speechless.

Huang Zhong said solemnly: "Sir, I am willing to lead a standard army and horse to follow the bandits' light clothes and advance quickly, and swear to save Mr. He to the death, help him to lose his merits and escape this disaster."

Cai Mao said coldly: "Hansheng remembers the defeat of Laohegou?"

Huang Zhong said in a sarcasm: "This is one time and another! The defeat of Laohegou is not a crime of war. It is actually a taboo for the general to underestimate the enemy and invade military strategists. At this time, the general knows that Ma Yue is powerful and will never repeat the same mistake."

Cai Mao said in a sinister voice: "That's hard to say."

Huang Zhong said sternly: "Sir, I am willing to issue a military order to capture Ma Yue and save Mr. He."

While Huang Zhong and Cai Mao were quarreling, Qin Jie was already calculating. He took a long breath and whispered: "Ma Yue is cunning, and only Han Sheng is the same man and horse. All the generals are following the order!"

Huang Zhong and his generals held their heads up and their hands clasped their fists.

"With Huang Zhong as the main general, Cai Mao and Wei He as the deputy generals, they led 3,000 troops to advance quickly, heading south at night, and rushing to Sui County. Once they find whereabouts of bandits, they will bite them tightly. When the eight hundred bandits are exhausted, they will be exhausted, and then they will be defeated with one stimulus. All generals should remember that they must not divide their troops on the way, so as not to give the eight hundred bandits an opportunity to take advantage of them."

"Abide by the order!"

Huang Zhong, Wei He agreed with the promise, while Cai Mao reluctantly bowed.

Qin Jie said: "I led 1,000 of the central army to take charge of Fuyang, and the three generals of Jinghou were good news."

Huang Zhongsen said: "The last general will definitely live up to the general's entrustedness, and he will definitely kill Ma Yue's head and save Old Master He."
