Yuan Shu turned his eyes to Kuai Liang and asked, "What do Zirou think?"

Kuai Liang was good at political strategy but not strategy. He thought for a long time and sighed: "General, Ma Yue is quite strategic, and his troops are deceitful, and the virtual and real are unpredictable. He can capture Wancheng with just 800 bandits. This shows that. Although Zhixian was defeated, he abandoned Wancheng and did not drag on his actions. This shows that this person's courage. He beat 1,000 Han army elite cavalry with only 200 cavalry and bandits, and even though he knew he was defeated, he would not retreat until the entire army was destroyed. It shows that Ma Yue is very good at winning people's hearts, and all the soldiers under his command are willing to die. People who are brave and capable of using their troops are like this. They are heroes of the world. Liang Zhen cannot afford to guess the way he uses his troops."

Jin Shang frowned and retorted: "No matter how capable Ma Yue is, there are only more than a thousand bandits under his command, so why are you afraid of?"

Li Yan said: "Former prefect Qin Jie and Qin, who ruled 5,000 people in Nanyang to fight him, was just like Master Jin thought today. He thought that 800 bandits were vulnerable, but he was defeated in five battles and five defeats, losing troops and losing generals, losing three cities in Sui County and Wancheng, losing property and incalculable casualties."

Jin Shang retorted, "In the end, even my brother Rou was involved in the thief."

Li Yan was speechless and his face turned red with shame.

Jin Shang said to Kuai Liang again: "If Ma Yue was as Zirou said, he would be the hero of the world, with both strategy, courage and skill, but how could he have the defeat of Zhixian County?"

Kuai Liang said calmly: "The defeat in Chi County is not a crime of war, but is actually caused by lack of intelligence."

Yuan Shu's expression was gloomy. So far, Ma Yue not only did not disappoint him, but the "surprise" he brought him even far beyond his expectations, making him feel that the situation was a little out of control! Slaughtering war horses and abandoning Wancheng, Ma Yue's behavior was beyond Yuan Shu's expectations. A mere 200 gangsters could entangle 1,000 Han army elite cavalry for several hours, so that the bandits in Wancheng escaped calmly, which was beyond his expectations. What else would be beyond his expectations next?

Seeing Yuan Shu's expression gloomy, Kuai Liang's eyebrows moved and he said, "General, he is very talented and dull, and it is hard to speak out about how Ma Yue uses military force. However, there is one person who is quite talented and can plan for the general."

Yuan Shu said anxiously: "Who is it?"

Kuai Liang said: "Outsider does not avoid hatred, and internally does not avoid relatives. Liang has a younger brother, named Yue, who reads military books at a young age, is quite strategic and has a better talent than good. If the general does not abandon him, he can write a letter to recruit him into the army."

Yuan Shu said happily: "Shu has heard in Luoyang that there are two heroes in the Kuai family in Jingxiang. Zirou is good at governing and is good at planning. Shu has had this intention for a long time, but he has not dared to make rash things. Now Zirou's words are very consistent with my intentions, so he can quickly write to him."

Kuai Liang said calmly: "Abide by the order."

Jin Shang jumped and said hurriedly: "General, the lower official also knew someone, whose surname was Ji, his name was Ling, and his name was Fuyi. He was from Shandong. He was in Luyang because of his livelihood. He was quite brave and good at using a three-pointed, two-edged knife, which weighed 65 kilograms, or could charge for the general."

Yuan Shu said happily: "Call it and call it quickly!"

Jin Shangying said: "Abide by the order."

Yuan Shu also said: "Li Yan, quickly order Yuan Yin and Zhang Xun to station troops in Wancheng. Do not act rashly. He quickly summoned the two generals of Yuyang Weihe and Jiyang Huang Zhong to come to Xi Hubei to discuss matters. He also sent many probes to do things in detail and strictly monitor the movements of the 800 bandits, but there is a stir and the reward will be immediately given."

Li Yan said loudly: "Abide by the order."

...

The night is as bright as ink, and more than 50 rafts are winding northward along the white water.

On the last raft, Guan Hai's expression was ferocious and said sternly: "If I follow my wishes, I will defend Wancheng to the death, fight to the death with the Han army, and avenge the more than 200 dead brothers."

Ma Yue glared at Guan Hai and scolded: "Avenge! Have you avenged it? Being defended Wancheng to death is just for nothing!"

Zhou Cang also said in a deep voice: "The leader is right. This group of Han soldiers is numerous and extremely brave. Our army is too weak, so Wancheng will definitely not be able to defend it."

Guan Hai buzzed and said in a buzzing voice: "But I lost Wancheng before such a battle, and I feel depressed."

Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to be frustrated. I lost Wancheng today and can be taken back tomorrow. As long as the brothers are still alive, everything will be hopeful! Although the defeat in Zhixian County lost more than 200 brothers, I also discovered a fatal weakness of the 800 bandits, which may not be a good thing."

"What...what is the weakness?"

"We lack information sources." Ma Yue said in a deep voice, "To be precise, there is no source of information. Apart from what we know about the probation of horses and cavalry, we know nothing about the movements of the Han army. This time we are lucky. If we crash into the trap of the Han army again next time, we are afraid that we will not be able to escape the siege so easily."

"Information?" Guan Hai said in surprise, "Where to get the information of the Han army?"

Ma Yue's eyes turned cold and said to the bandits who were carrying the raft: "Brothers, work harder and catch up with them."

The raft accelerated and gradually passed the back formation. Not long after, he caught up with the raft Liu Yan was riding. Ma Yue ordered the two rafts to join each other, and then jumped onto Liu Yan's raft. With the dim starlight, Ma Yue saw Liu Yan standing in the middle of the raft with a resentful look. On her left was Zou Yuniang, who looked unhappy, and the woman on the right was slender, slender, and graceful and charming. Unfortunately, there was a large black birthmark on her delicate face, which greatly destroyed the overall beauty. Otherwise, she would definitely be peerless and charming.

Ma Yue looked at the woman like a wolf and asked in a deep voice: "Are you that official lady?"

The woman bowed down on the raft and said with a crisp voice: "Little woman Diao Chan, I have seen the big leader."

"Uh~~" Ma Yue was suddenly shocked when he heard this and said in a lost voice, "Diao~Diao Chan!?"

Diao Chan! That was one of the four beauties in ancient times. How could it look like this? If this woman was Diao Chan, it would be so damn funny! Ma Yue was shocked in his heart. Although this woman had a strong temperament, her birthmark on her face was really too terrifying. Could it be that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu both had special hobbies?

The woman who claimed to be Diao Chan said in surprise: "Why is this the leader?"

"Cough~" Ma Yue coughed dryly, and quickly looked around and said, "I heard that there is Diao Chan in the palace. Could it be that the girl is a palace maid?"

Diao Chan said: "The great leader is worthy of being a famous general. He is quite aware of the etiquette in the palace. Although the little girl is not a palace maid, she has a great relationship with the palace maid."

Ma Yue waved his hand and said coldly: "Forget it, I'm not interested in asking about your life, nor do I want to know the relationship between you and the palace maids. I just want to know how you know that the court sent 5,000 Han troops to Nanyang to deal with the 800 bandits, why do you come to help?"

Diao Chan said: "The little woman not only knew that the court sent 5,000 Han troops to Nanyang, but also knew that the commander of the Han army was the second son of Sikong. "

"What!?" Ma Yue was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and said in a lost voice, "It turned out to be the idiot Yuan Shu?"

In the Romance of Legend, Yuan Shu was a very idiot. He was defeated by this man in the Battle of Chi County, so he was really shameless.

Diao Chan said, "No, the great leader is such a bad word. As far as the young woman knows, although the second young master Yuan is not very talented, he is quite ambitious and knows to win people's hearts. He is not a fool."

Ma Yue was shocked when he heard this. He thought that, how many people have been able to create a foundation in troubled times and even ascend to the throne and become emperor from ancient times to the present? Don’t say that the Yuan family’s four generations and three masters are because Yuan Shu relies on his ancestors’ elegance. However, there are so many aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty, and there are countless children of aristocratic families like Yuan Shu, why did he only see Yuan Shu as the emperor?

Ma Yue said in a narrow voice: "This is a secret of the court, how do you know?"

Diao Chan smiled and said, "The little woman can not only know the affairs of the court, but also the affairs of the Han military camps, the county governments and the state governments."

Ma Yue said coldly: "The girl is so powerful and helping her for nothing is suspicious!"

Diao Chan sighed quietly and whispered: "All the little woman said is true. She seems to have great magical powers. Who knows the bitterness of her? Can the big leader know why the little woman knows these?"

“Why?”

Diao Chan said: "There are palace prostitutes in Luoyang, the eastern capital, the provincial government, and the county government. There are camp prostitutes in the military camp. Most of the sisters are officials and women. However, their family has collapsed and they have become prostitutes, and they have been slaves for generations, and they will never be able to leave their homes. Although they are despised, most of the people they come into contact with are dignitaries in the court and lieutenant generals, so they can know what others do not know."

Ma Yue said: "In this way, the girl is the leader of these palace prostitutes, official prostitutes, and camp prostitutes. She has worked tirelessly to help the 800 bandits, intending to quit her sisters?"

Diao Chan said: "The great leader is indeed wise and wise, that's exactly what it is."

Ma Yue said coldly: "But I only have eight hundred people, and I can't reach the limit."

Diao Chan said: "No matter how successful the great leader is in the future, whether the eight hundred bandits can sweep the world, as long as they promise to get the world and get rid of their sisters, they will serve their lives. As far as they know the movements and military affairs in the camp are reported together, the great leader will no longer be defeated in Zhixian County or the loss of the army and horses."
