The north wind was like a knife, and a team of all the troops appeared outside the east gate of Wancheng.

Sixteen strong men carried a heavy coffin that had not been closed yet and came to Wancheng step by step. Zou Jing looked pale and held it on the coffin with one hand and walked around. Behind Zou Jing, the ferocious Zhou Cang was eyeing him. As long as Zou Jing had any abnormal movement, he immediately drew his sword and beheaded him on the spot.

Not everyone can take death as if they are. Li Yan is one, but Zou Jing is not. Faced with the threat of death, Zou Jing chose to surrender.

"Note wu ~~"

"Dongdong~~"

A low and loud warning whistle sounded from the Wancheng city tower, followed by a fierce drum sound. After a cup of tea, the east gate of Wancheng opened wide, and a team of fully armed elite officers Hulala rushed out of the city, then quickly spread to the wings, surrounded the spirit-protecting army in the center.

A military general of the army rushed forward with great courage and shouted loudly: "I am Zhang Xun, the commander of Nanyang, and the person who came is a common name!"

Zhou Cang groaned, and Zou Jing had no choice but to sigh, raised his head and said, "Can Lord Zhang still recognize the officials?"

Zhang Xun's eyes sternly. When he saw clearly that it was Zou Jing, he immediately said in surprise: "It turned out to be Zou Jingzou, the magistrate of Yuyang County. The magistrate and the soldiers were wearing mourning, but for some reason?"

Zou Jing said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know anything, Lord Qin... has returned to heaven."

"What!?" Zhang Xun was shocked and said in a lost voice, "Has Lord Qin returned to heaven?"

Zou Jing looked tragic. Now that he was forced by the bandits, he committed such a debauchery. He didn't know what punishment he would be brought to the court in the future. He couldn't help but feel sad. Two lines of tears flowed in his eyes. Seeing that Zou Jing looked sad, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, Zhang Xun rushed forward and looked into the coffin. He saw that someone was lying in the coffin with a pale face. His vitality was gone. Zhang Xun looked really, who else would be there if he wasn't Qin Jie? Zhang Xun's face changed drastically at that time, and his servant turned over and fell off the horse, and started to cry.

"Sir, who is the adult..."

Behind Zhang Xun, hundreds of officers and soldiers knelt down in the snow, and the wailing sounded.

Zou Jing took a step forward, and Zhou Cang followed him closely to protect each other. Zou Jing had no choice but to give up his plan to warn him when he helped Zhang Xun up, and sighed: "Mr. Zhang is mourning. Please go back to the city first to summon civil and military officials and go out to welcome the coffin back to the city."

Zhang Xun stood up howled and said to Zou Jing: "Sir Zou, wait a moment. I will go back to the city to summon civil and military officials."

After saying that, Zhang Xun turned over and galloped towards the city, and hundreds of elite Nanyang soldiers who were eyeing him around also retreated back to the city like a tide.

Five miles east of Wancheng City, there is a forest. Two frightened birds suddenly flapping their wings and flew up from the forest, and they fell into the sky with snow.

At the outer edge of the dense forest, Guan Hai's face was covered with frost. He stood solemnly under a pine tree holding a long sword in his hand. His eyes were staring at Wancheng ahead. However, when Zhou Cang slaughtered all the civil and military officials of Wancheng and occupied the east gate, Zhou Cang would lead 200 cavalry to attack like a whirlwind, and scatter the defenders in the city with a thunderous force to welcome the arrival of the Ma Yue army.

In less than a meal, chaotic wails came from the city. Under the leadership of the commander Zhang Xun and the county magistrate, the civil and military officials of all sizes and military stayed in Nanyang lined up in two neat rows and slowly came out from the east gate. While crying, they greeted Qin Jie's coffin, and they were crying to Qin Jie's coffin.

"when!"

Zhou Cang untied his swords from his back, and shot each other hard and made a clear sound of gold and iron clashing. Then Zhou Cang's shrill roar resounded throughout the sky.

"Brothers, kill the dog officials and seize the city!"

"puff!"

Zhou Cang flew over and saw his swords flying like a cut. It was a pity that the civil servant of Nanyang County Magistrate, who was standing in front, was caught off guard. Zhang Xun next to him was shocked to see this. He knew that something was wrong and did not dare to respond or return to the city. He fled straight to the north of the city! Zhou Cang was ordered by Ma Yue to aim at the city of Wancheng, but he did not chase him at the moment, and rushed towards the east gate of Wancheng to kill him.

In just a moment, except for Zhang Xun who fled in panic, all the unprepared civil and military officials in Wancheng were killed. Zhou Cang led the band of bandits like wolves and tigers to cross the suspension bridge and rushed into the city gate. The poor official army guarding the city did not expect such a huge change to happen. The distance between the two was close, so how could they react?

When the city's official troops arrived in chaos to reinforce, the 300 people from Zhou Cang had already nailed them to the east gate of Wancheng like nails. Most of the military officers left behind in Wancheng had been killed, and the Nanyang soldiers who had lost their effective control had no combat power. Although there were many people and many powers, it was difficult to pose a substantial threat to the 300 people from Zhou Cang.

The city-guarding officials launched several chaotic counterattacks, all of which were repelled by Zhou Cang's army. At this time, Guan Hai's Iron Cavalry of Qingzhou Camp arrived in an instant, crushing towards Wancheng like rolling iron. The rumbling hooves suddenly ran through the sky, and there was no other sound in the sky and the earth. The officials and soldiers looked at each other in horror. They clearly felt that the ground under their feet was trembling and shaking.

With the order from Zhou Cang, the bandits under his command suddenly flashed to the city gate and made way for the passage that had been strangled before. When the officials were stunned, Guan Hai, who was like an iron tower, had already arrived.

"kill!"

With a tiger roar, Guan Hai's long sword swept across, and the three officials who hit the front were cut into six pieces. Behind Guan Hai, 200 cavalry bandits were exposed with scorching murderous intent. With the shrill howl of wolf, they rode their horses like crazy beasts. The shiny sabers were already raised, reflecting the dark sky.

Half an hour later, Ma Yue led the main force of the bandits into Wancheng. One of the 1,000 left-behind official troops was annihilated, and the other fled. Most of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Eight hundred bandits captured Wancheng, the capital of Nanyang County, without any effort.

"Pei Yuanshao."

"exist."

"Immediately lead troops to guard the four gates and prohibit everyone from entering and leaving. However, if anyone trespasses the city gate, they will be killed without discrimination - they will be killed!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Guan Hai."

"exist."

"Lead Qingzhou Camp to patrol the streets immediately, informing the whole city, and everyone else stays at home, but if anyone goes to the streets without authorization, kill without mercy!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Zhou Cang."

"exist."

"Follow me to guard the prefect's office."

"Abide by the order!"

"The rest of the brothers, take a holiday on the spot and rob the whole place! Finally, retrial, no harm to the common people, go!"

The bandits scattered, Pei Yuanshao and Guan Hai also led their troops to leave, and only Zhou Cang led 50 people to stand still beside Ma Yue. Ma Yue took a deep breath of air conditioning and said sternly: "Zhou Cang, there is an extremely dangerous mission today, but it is related to the life and death of the 800 bandits. Do you dare to go?"

Zhou Cang Senran said: "Why don't you dare?"

Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "Although ten deaths are alive, still dare to go?"

"What's the point!"

"Okay!" Ma Yue shouted loudly, his eyes showed admiration. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Cang, and said sternly, "Now there is a letter written by He Zhen, the father of the current general He Jin, as well as a head of Qin Jie, the head of Nanyang prefect Qin Jie and a seal of prefect. You can carry a book, seal and a seal to Luoyang at night. Whenever you arrive at a place, you can show it to Qin Jie's head, prefect seal and He Zhen's handwriting. I don't think I will leave it in the road government, so I will definitely condemn someone to escort it."

Zhou Cang Senran said: "Abide by the order!"

Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "If you can see General He Jin, you can tell him that you can drive 2,000 strong horses to come within ten days, otherwise, you will be waiting to collect the body of his father!"

"Abide by the order!"

Zhou Cang bowed with fists and turned around and left with great pride.

Watching Zhou Cang leave, Ma Yue was in a heavy mood. To be honest, Ma Yue believed that He Jin's possibility of surrendering was very small. 2,000 strong horses were not a small number. Even if He Jin was a general of the dynasty, it would not be so easy to raise them suddenly! What's more, handing over the war horses to the bandits is a traitor. Does He Jin dare to take the big blame in the world?

However, the small possibility does not mean that the possibility is zero. Even if there is only hope, Ma Yue believes that it is worth 100% hard work!

If a person has no long-term thinking, he will have immediate worries. The current eight hundred bandits seem to be glorious, but in fact they are in danger.

Qin Jie was dead, and the Nanyang soldiers were now without leaders, and it was inevitable that the collapse of the situation was inevitable. Before the new Nanyang prefect took office, the eight hundred bandits were still safe in Wancheng. But what happened? Of course, the Han court would not sit idly by and watch Wancheng be trapped in the hands of the thieves for a long time. They would inevitably send capable ministers and generals and elite official troops to suppress them.

Qin Jie's defeat was due to the old ways of dealing with the Yellow Turban bandits who were not familiar with the tactics of the eight hundred bandits who were short-sighted and knew how to deal with the 800 bandits who were Ma Yue. As a result, he could only lose sight of one thing and be restrained everywhere, and follow the eight hundred bandits and run away with his heels.

However, the official army is not a fool. In the late Han Dynasty, many capable people emerged from the gentry family. It won’t take long before the official army will become familiar with the combat methods of the 800 bandits and then come up with solutions. At that time, can the 800 bandits still play with the official army like they are now?

With the strength of the opponent and the attention of the court, the survival pressure faced by the eight hundred bandits will only increase. If you do not try to improve your mobility, you will inevitably be trapped in a corner. If you want to improve the mobility of the eight hundred bandits, the most effective way is to turn the eight hundred bandits into a whole cavalry! Didn’t the famous bandit king, King Chuang, destroy the Ming Dynasty with a whole cavalry?

Of course, Ma Yue never thought of subverting the Han Dynasty. Now he just wants to live well, that's all.
