() When the battle report from the front came back, the soldiers who were still worried in Guzang City simply refused to believe their ears. What? The Qiang people were actually defeated by the Ma family who had less than 30% of their strength.

And this was a hearty victory? This was beyond everyone's expectations. It was difficult for both generals and ordinary soldiers to accept this fact.

You must know that not long ago, they fought against the Qiang people. Even if they had a city to rely on, they could not get an advantage from the Qiang people. Later, they were defeated because of the problem of food and grass. Now, Ma

Instead of hunkering down in the city and fighting the Qiang people, Jia took the initiative and won a great victory. This made many defeated soldiers feel hot in their faces and didn't know how to understand it.

But one thing made these people reach a consensus, that is, the Ma family was indeed stronger than most of Dong Zhuo's old troops in terms of using troops. After having this idea, many sergeants began to tend to join the Ma family.

Everyone hopes to always win on the battlefield instead of constantly suffering defeats. This is not only a matter of morale, but also a matter of life and death. Who can not be moved by it?

Before, perhaps because of the deliberate actions of the generals, or because the sergeants did not have much hope for the future, they did not show much intention to change the family after coming to Guzang. But now, the situation

But it's completely different. Some more courageous soldiers have begun to contact the soldiers of the Ma family who are staying in the city, hoping to join them.

Regarding these changes, Zhang Ji and other generals were anxious in their hearts, but under such circumstances, they were powerless and could not change the minds of the sergeants. They could only watch helplessly as the remaining available manpower under them gradually changed.

There are only a few people, but the number of people who express their loyalty to the Ma family is increasing.

"This is not a problem. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold here soon, and even the Ma family will be able to deal with us at will..." Guo Fanyin said with a sullen face, worried.

Several people in front of me said.

In the past two days, as the situation worsened, several of Dong Zhuo's old men often got together to discuss countermeasures. However, after a few days, they were really powerless to deal with the predicament at hand. Now, Guo Fan brought up the old matter again,

It only made the other people frown even deeper.

"This matter is indeed strange. It is difficult for many of our troops to fight against the Qiang people. How can they have such ability? How many troops can the Ma family have to invest? Even if the man named Han Yue gives them two more

Thirty thousand people, there is still a gap in strength. Let me tell you, there must be some conspiracy in this!" Zhao Yuan's hostility towards the Ma family did not decrease with the change of identity, and he still speculated maliciously:

"They may have colluded with the Qiang people a long time ago, and this time they just cooperated with them to perform a show."

"This statement is untenable. After our defeat, the Qiang people's power has been far greater than our Xiliang army. Why would they join forces with the Ma family to stage such a show? Moreover, they are still the losing party. This

It's even more convincing. So in my opinion, this victory is certain..." Zhang Ji said with a long sigh: "What we want to think about now is how to get rid of the influence of the Ma family.

Out."

"Actually, this is not too difficult." Guo Fan suddenly thought of something and said at that time: "Since the Ma family has defeated the Qiang people, it means that the crisis in Xiliang has been resolved. Then why should we stay here anymore? Are we under house arrest in Guzang City? Why don't we go and say goodbye to Ma Teng and the others? They must not be able to force us to stay without any excuses. Of course, we have to pay some price to leave here, at least those We can't take back the sergeants who have already expressed their intention to join the Ma family. But this is much better than being trapped here ourselves, what do you think?"

"This... is indeed the best way now." Zhang Ji couldn't help but nod in agreement: "I think the Ma family has to establish a certain image in the hearts of everyone, so as not to embarrass us."

"Okay, in that case, let's go talk to them!" Now that they had come up with an idea, and it was the only idea, some other generals stopped delaying and all expressed their approval. They were now being dismissed. The situation of the Ma family under house arrest in the city is also extremely unsettling. Since there is a way to leave, they naturally have to try it. As for the sergeants under their command who were annexed by the Ma family, they are confident that they can recruit some more after they return.

Just when everyone made up their mind and stood up to leave, a soldier guarding the outside came over with a strange expression: "Several generals, Mr. Ma is outside to see you."

"Huh? Why did he come suddenly?" When they heard that Ma Yue was coming, several generals who had seen the big scene couldn't help but feel nervous. They had dealt with Ma Yue too much, and they knew that his wrists and Vicious was naturally extremely wary of him. Today, when he suddenly came to see them, it was obvious that he was not just here to reminisce about old times, but must have some purpose.

But no matter how uneasy they were, they couldn't help but see Ma Yue, so after a moment's hesitation, they asked people to invite Ma Yue in. In order to show their stance, they would not welcome Ma Yue out in person, then Zhen was completely suppressed by Ma Yue in terms of momentum.

After a while, Ma Yue appeared in front of several generals with a smile. He cupped his hands and said: "Generals, I'm here today to discuss two important matters with you."

"Oh, what a coincidence. We also have something we want to discuss with you. Since Zhong Ling came here in person, you can simply tell us about it." Zhang Ji also said with a smile.

"That's fine." Ma Yue smiled with enlightenment, then walked to the upper seat in the hall and sat down solemnly: "Everyone, please take a seat. Since everyone has something to talk about, let's talk it over."

Seeing that Ma Yue suddenly turned against the guest, several generals had a look of displeasure on their faces. But now that the situation was unfavorable to them, they could only endure it for the time being and sat down under Ma Yue. Afterwards, Zhao Yuan smiled even though he was not smiling. Authentic: "Now that your Ma family has made a big name and defeated all the powerful Qiang people, what else do you have to discuss with us defeated generals?" There was a hint of something in his words. Reluctant and angry.

Ma Yue didn't take this too seriously and just smiled: "If it were an ordinary matter, I would naturally not ask the generals for advice, but these two matters have nothing to do with you. I must ask you to express your opinion." How easy it is."

"Oh? What's going on?" At this time, several other people also became interested and couldn't help but ask.

"The first thing is about how to deal with Li Que. He actually colluded with the Qiang people this time, resulting in our great defeat at the hands of the Qiang people. Tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield. His crime is not light.

.If it is according to our wishes, since he has been taken down, naturally

He must be severely punished. However, after all, he is your comrade and his status is similar to that of the generals, so I must seek your opinions before dealing with him." After Ma Yue finished speaking, he glanced at the people in front of him.

, taking in the expressions of these people.

After these people heard Ma Yue mention Li Que, each of them seemed less calm. Naturally, they wanted to eat him alive as the culprit who betrayed everyone and led to the previous defeat. However, he deserved it.

After knowing that the disposal was handled by people from the Ma family, they felt uncomfortable. They always felt that this was a slap in their face. After all, Li Que originally had the same identity as them. If he was punished in public, it would be easy.

Is it the same for everyone else?

But if they wanted to protect Li Que, they would lie down and let the Ma family spread rumors that they were colluding with the Qiang people, which would be an extremely serious blow to them. After thinking in embarrassment for a long time, Zhang Ji finally

A choice was made - the lesser of two evils

, only to make the Ma family feel proud: "Since Li Que was captured by your Ma family, and he did do things like betraying all of us, he naturally deserves the punishment he deserves! It is up to the young master to decide what to do.

We have no objections to life or death!"

Several other people also agreed with this and nodded in agreement. Although this would increase the prestige and momentum of the Ma family, it was still much better than being caught by them and making mistakes.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I reluctantly agree to come down and handle this matter." Ma Yue nodded, and then said: "Then what else do you want to come to us for? If there is anything you need help from our Ma family,

Just open your mouth, is there a shortage of food, or is there another problem?"

Several generals were very nervous at this time, but they did not care about what he meant when he said these words. After thinking for a while, Zhang Ji said: "What we mean is that since the Qiang people have been conquered by you,

The Ma family is defeated, and there is no use for us to stay here any longer. Why don't we say goodbye and return to Lintao, and you can do whatever you want..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Yue was already shaking his head: "No! I really can't believe that what these generals want to say is so similar to the second thing I said, but what I mean is different.

Just contrary to you, I think that all our groups should be completely integrated, and then one person should be the commander and give unified command!"

"What?" Several people suddenly jumped up from the seats in shock. They really didn't expect that Ma Yue had such thoughts. He was completely going to annex them. And this, Ma Yue should be
