"Lu Qianhu, Guo Qianhu, and Luyang Pass are the only way to communicate between the north and the south and connect with each other, and there must be no mistakes. However, in recent years, major disasters have occurred one after another, and bandits have spyed at our city several times. We all have the responsibility to guard the pass and suppress the bandits. In the face of this situation, what do the two generals think?"

In Luyang Pass, facing Lu Guo and two thousand households, Ma Rujiao severely criticized the current shortcomings, and had a strong mind that Fan Xiwen was worried about the world before and after the world after the world was happy.

Lu Guo and the other two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, and they said to themselves: "Who is eye-opening and provoking this master? This garrison master who has only been here twice in two years since he took office will come to Luyang Pass again. And looking at the angry Lord Ma, who is really angry, he is going to send troops to suppress bandits, how can he do it?"

Their family knows their own affairs. Now the world is becoming more and more chaotic. The bandits who kill officials and rebel in waves one after another, and they can't kill them no matter how hard they kill them, and they dare to confront the officers and soldiers head-on.

As for them, since they can remember, the army has trained only a handful of times. Some soldiers have never even taken a knife. Moreover, some soldiers followed the merchants to work to subsidize their household income. They are not in Luyang Pass at all. At this time, they will be in danger of attacking rashly. If the losses are too large, the court will not be able to explain it!

Lu Yie, also known as Lu Qianhu, saw Ma Rujiao coming in a fierce manner. He seemed to be unable to get through without saying anything. He could only stand up with his teeth and saluted Ma Rujiao first, saying, "Your Majesty is worried about the country and the people, and he is a role model for us. But our army has not been trained for a long time, so why don't we practice it first, here..."

Before Lu Yie finished speaking, he was roughly interrupted by Ma Rujiao, "Wait? Can we wait, can those bandits wait? Can those people who are crying? We are here to watch the bandits harm the people, and I want to ask how can I bear it?"

"This." Lu Yie was choked to death. What did he say? He said he was heartless and said he didn't do his own thing? The problem is that these things are OK. Who can express his own words?

Lu Yie was unhappy and returned to his seat.

Ma Rujiao ignored him. In his opinion, there were only a dozen bandits. Although he did not understand military affairs, the number of people could still be calculated. More than a thousand people faced dozens of people. No matter how they calculated, they would win and win. "I have decided. You are ready to go back. Why can't you go too far? You can come back in about a day, but you must eliminate the bandits and fight for a bright world for the people."

"Sir, Nanyang Prefecture once sent a document saying that there were a large group of bandits in the north, so we should strengthen our defense. At this time, let's go out. What if..." Guo Ganyang also stood up and hesitated.

Unexpectedly, it was okay if he didn't say this. When he talked about it, it seemed like he had encountered Ma Rujiao's reverse scales. Ma Rujiao immediately roared and said, "I am the guard of Luyang Pass. I will be responsible for anything that has nothing to do with you. You just need to follow my orders, otherwise you will be engaged in military law."

Lu and Guo had no choice but to nod their heads and return to their headquarters.

Immediately afterwards, there were chaos in Luyang Pass, and they were driven out everywhere. Some people were running around and told the merchants that they wanted to go to the merchants and call back the soldiers who were still working for the merchants.

The soldiers complained and cursed with dissatisfaction. Which beast was it? Why did they suddenly think of going to suppress the bandits? They didn't even want the brothers to work hard?

After layers of exploitation, these soldiers paid 30% off when they received them. This amount of military pay could not support their wives and children at home, and they were often owed. The bureaucrats of the upper class of the Ming Dynasty may not know that the soldiers also had to eat to survive.

The soldiers who can't survive, those with some ability, go to sell coolies for merchants, earn some hard money, and make a living. Those who are not capable can only reduce their activities on a daily basis, hoping to reduce consumption.

For this reason, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rarely had training, because once they were trained, they could not even have enough food to eat on a daily basis, and they would probably be out of training and to death.

Therefore, when Shangguan suddenly said he wanted to suppress the bandits, the soldiers' behavior of cursing her mother could be forgiven.

However, no matter how much these soldiers cursed and were dissatisfied, the next day, Lu and Guo searched Luyang Pass and raised more than 720 people. After Ma Rujiao repeatedly urged him, he set off.

On the way, Ma Rujiao rarely put on the armor he took office. With his slightly fat figure, he looked that way. If there were no more than the group of yawning and scattered soldiers behind him, it would feel better.

Ma Rujiao glanced at the soldiers behind him without anyone's observation. If he remembered well, the two thousand households under him should have 2,240 soldiers, but now there are only more than 700 people behind him, and there are more than 1,500 places left. Although he will deduct some military pay, he still pays more than 1,000 people. But he didn't expect that there were only more than 700 people in total. It seems that there is no need to pay so much military pay at all, and he can still deduct some of it.

All kinds of thoughts in my heart were mixed together. At this moment, the agreed place with the bandits had arrived. I turned around and attracted two thousand households, came to my side, and ordered: "You lead the army to hide in the nearby mountains and forests. I ordered people to lure the bandits out. You see my order. With my order, you will lead the army to attack. You must take down these bandits. At that time, the benefits will be indispensable."

Ma Rujiao actually doesn't understand military affairs. These are all things he saw from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At this time, no matter whether it is suitable or not, it will be used. As for the consequences, it depends on the future development.

Lu Guo and the other two had no objection. Anyway, they had already walked here, so Ma Rujiao would say whatever he said. Fortunately, this place is not far from Luyang Pass, and it is less than a day's trip. In case of any accident, at most, they would run back to Luyang Pass first, hoping to have a worry-free life.

After Lu Guo and the others received the order, they divided into two groups, lying in ambush in the nearby mountains and forests, and disappeared.

Ma Rujiao ordered his servants to head toward the valley with a long-prepared carriage and empty boxes. These were also what he had prepared long ago, so that he could lure Feng Kebin and others out and then kill them all in one go.

When Ma Rujiao did all this, he never expected that his every move had been hidden in the dark and could see clearly that the man waited for the officers and soldiers to hide. After Ma Rujiao went to the valley to wait, he quietly left and came to a hidden cave.

Feng Kebin and others had already been waiting in the cave. Seeing that the spies were sent to monitor the enemy, the people in the cave looked at him at the same time.

The man nodded at Feng Kebin, and Feng Kebin's mouth raised, and ordered: "The fish has taken the bait. Go and notify Niu Erbao and act according to the plan. Let's hold back the horse Rujiao."

The people in the cave all claimed yes and then took action.

Soon, the highest peak on the southeastern foot of the Funiu Mountains was also the commanding heights of more than ten miles nearby. A wave of wolf smoke rose into the sky, and it was clearly visible even if you were dozens of miles apart.
