"I see, then it seems that we two brothers still have a chance to cooperate?" Kang Long said with a smile, with obviously malicious intentions on his face.
Ma Benlei was dumbfounded by Kang Long's eyes, but he was very willing to listen to his words. If Huang Zeguan hadn't won this weird victory tonight, Ma Benlei would have wanted to cooperate with Kang Long.
It was definitely not big, but when he saw such a magical military strategy, Ma Benlei was tempted.
To be honest, he wanted to avenge the Ma family so much. At that time, his grandfather's generation was just an ordinary poor family who fled from the Central Plains to the foot of Helan Mountain in the wilderness.
Relying on hard work and honest management, it took more than ten years for the Ma family to establish the foundation of Wanma Villa at the foot of Helan Mountain, sell horses to the Central Plains, and buy raw silk and tea from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, Wumeng and other places.
etc. started a very profitable business.
At that time, Ma Tengkong was still young, and Ma Benlei had not yet been born. The Khitans also knew from somewhere that Wanma Villa had just bought thousands of fine horses from the Western Regions, so they sent thousands of cavalry and looted the horses.
The owner of the villa, Ma Liang, Ma Benlei's grandfather, was killed. The Khitans not only plundered these fine horses, but also burned Wanma Villa to ashes.
The two brothers, Ma Tengkong and Ma Tengyun, who had a chance to escape but were furious, visited famous teachers in the world and practiced hard for ten years. Finally, they perfected their unique skills and went deep into the Khitan palace to assassinate the Khitan king. However, they ended in failure.
Seeing that they were alone and unable to fight against the Khitan, the two brothers Ma Tengkong and Ma Tengyun returned to the foot of Helan Mountain, gathered members of the Ma family, and rebuilt Wanma Villa. On the one hand, they continued to run the horse farm to accumulate financial resources, and on the other hand, they recruited soldiers and horses to build a mountain villa.
A city of ten thousand horses was built.
In just a few years, the city of Ten Thousand Horses was built with the hard work of the two brothers. Ma Tengkong also married and had children, two sons and a daughter.
When Ma Benlei was two years old, the abominable Khitan people, while chasing a nomad named Wanyan, attacked Wanma City again. In this battle, Wanma City was breached, and Ma Tengkong only had time to save three people.
He had a daughter, but his wife was brutally killed by the Khitan people.
Ma Benlei, who lost his mother at the age of two, swore since he was a child that he would make the Khitan dog thief repay his debt with blood. When he grew up and the power of Ten Thousand Horses City grew again, his father Ma Tengkong suddenly announced
He retired from the world and did not care about worldly affairs. He even refused to avenge the blood feud with the Khitan dog thief, which made Ma Benlei very puzzled and angry.
When he was sixteen years old, after he became successful in marksmanship and axe, he secretly went down the mountain and joined the Hedong Army. He originally thought that by serving in the Hedong Army, he would one day become the commander-in-chief of the army and lead the troops to attack Khitan, for the sake of his grandfather.
He wanted to avenge his mother, but he never thought that he would fall into the hands of a villain like Murong Yanchao.
Every time he thought about how difficult the road to revenge was, Ma Benlei was upset. Unexpectedly, Kang Long had suddenly emerged, and his troops were like a god. He also seemed to want to take root near the Taihang Mountains, accumulate strength, and establish his own rule. This gave him a glimmer of hope.
.
Although this glimmer of hope is slim, fortunately there is still hope. I just don’t know what Kang Long meant by what he said. Could it be that he also has enmity with the Khitan people? Otherwise, he would not have said such a thing. Isn’t this a typical attempt to recruit himself?
?
"Brother Kang, I'm sorry to be blunt. I have a bloody feud with the Khitan dog thieves, but brother Kang, you may not have any hatred against the Khitan dog thieves. How can we have a chance to cooperate?" Ma Benlei pointed out Kang Long's flaw without politeness.
Kang Long laughed. His laughter made Ma Benlei very unhappy. He didn't understand what was wrong with what he said, which would make Kang Long laugh.
"Brother Benlei, I must say something inappropriate. My goal in life is to prevent foreigners from bullying us Han people. Now these descendants of Donghu have violated my Kanglong's great ambitions by conquering and killing wantonly in our Central Plains.
Bogey. I, Kang Long, am an out-and-out Han Chinese. My home is in the suburbs of Luoyang. Their bullying has reached my doorstep. How can I endure it? As you can see, I am planning to accumulate strength in this area in case I can one day be able to do so.
Drive away the Khitans to ensure the continuation of our Han bloodline. Do you think there is any chance for us brothers to cooperate?"
Ma Benlei was overjoyed. He grabbed Kang Long's arm eagerly, stared at him seriously and shouted, "Brother Kang, are you serious about what you said?"
"Seriously!" Kang Long looked back at Ma Benlei sincerely and replied solemnly.
"Okay! I, Ma Benlei, am willing to cooperate with Brother Kang!" Ma Benlei said excitedly.
"Hahahaha, brother Benlei, you and I have the same temperament and the same aspirations. How about we take advantage of today's opportunity to become brothers?" Kang Long grabbed Ma Benlei's arm and said with excitement.
"Haha, I had this intention, but Brother Kang said it first. Okay!"
The two of them held each other's arms in excitement, knelt at the bridge, kneaded the soil to worship, and planted grass for incense. Kang Long's right thumb and little finger came together and made an oath to heaven: "I, Kang Long, will marry Ma Benlei today."
Brothers, the sky and the earth are the evidence, the stars are the faith, and for the sake of righteousness, all brothers in the Taihang Mountains and villages do not wish to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but only wish to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same body. If you violate this oath, both humans and gods will be killed!"
Ma Benlei also knelt down and recited it again with great excitement. The world can learn from his sincerity.
The leaders of the Taihang Mountain villages, inspired by the brotherhood between the two, and Kang Long's sincere vow, counted them among them, and it was the word "righteousness" that was most respected by them. They all hurriedly knelt down and worshiped.
Heaven and earth, together, are witnesses of righteousness!
Kang Long laughed loudly and said: "Brother Benlei, I am sixteen this year and was born in the first month of the year."
Ma Benlei said happily: "Haha, then you are the eldest brother. I am also sixteen this year and was born in June. You are six months older than me. From now on, you will be my Ma Benlei's eldest brother. From now on, whenever the eldest brother has
My life, I will do whatever it takes, even if I go through fire and water!"
Kang Long shed tears from the corners of his happy eyes. He held Ma Benlei's arm excitedly and said sincerely: "Second brother, eldest brother, I have relatives again. It's great. Second brother, eldest brother, don't say anything else, just one thing."
, your enemy is brother’s enemy, from now on we will take revenge together and kill his mother!”
"Brother!" Ma Benlei was so moved that he helped Kang Long stand up, looking up to the sky and laughing, expressing his extremely joyful emotions.
"Congratulations to the first master, congratulations to the second master!" The leaders of the blue scarf bandits bowed their hands respectfully and congratulated the two of them.
"Okay! Thank you all brothers. I, Kang Long, hereby swear that from now on, you brothers will be the brothers of Kang Long and Ma Benlei. As long as you sincerely join me, I, Kang Long, will never treat you badly. If you violate this oath, you will not be harmed."
Gods will kill together!" Kang Long swore loudly and sincerely to everyone.
The crowd was overjoyed, worshiped again, and swore allegiance to Kang Long one after another.
Kang Long was in high spirits and loudly said to everyone: "Brothers, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. The Hedong Army just failed to attack our city, so we should take this opportunity to kill them! Return to the camp quickly, gather the brothers to break camp and set off to kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!" Dozens of leaders roared in unison, excitedly running back to the blue scarf bandit camp, gathering their troops, breaking camp and setting off.
"Second brother, the eldest brother is going to lead an army to attack the Hedong Army. You are from the Hedong Army after all, so it's better not to come forward." Kang Long patted Ma Benlei on the shoulder and said sincerely.
However, Ma Benlei said displeasedly: "Brother, we have just become sworn brothers, why are you separated from your younger brother? The bullshit Hedong Army, for the sake of profit, does not even have the backbone of the Han people, and bows to those Khitan thieves and is servile.
, my younger brother hates this kind of coward the most in his life. Big brother, the only one who is serious about my younger brother now is the eldest brother. No one else can get into my younger brother's eyes again."
"Okay! You are worthy of being a good brother of eldest brother. Then you can rob the formation for eldest brother and watch him use his methods to kill his mother! Haha!" Kang Long felt that this was the happiest moment he came to this world, and he suddenly looked up to the sky.
It roars loudly and looks very cheerful.
What Kang Long didn't expect was that the Blue Turban Thief's seven thousand troops gathered quite quickly. According to his previous views on the Blue Turban Thief's minions, he estimated that it would take at least an hour for the Blue Turban Thief to successfully assemble.
.This time, he was surprised. It took less than half an hour for the blue scarf thieves to assemble.
More than twenty leaders who had just witnessed the sworn vows of Kang Long and Ma Benlei gathered in front of Kang Long and reported loudly: "Master, the brothers have gathered. In order to save time, the subordinates are free to make decisions.
, throw away all the things that cannot be used, and travel light!"
"Okay! With good generals like you brothers, who in the future will dare to underestimate our good men and tough guys at the foot of Taihang Mountain?" Kang Long shouted loudly.
His voice was so loud that all the blue-turban thieves from far and near heard what he said, and they all hit their chests with their weapons and cheered loudly.
The eyes of the more than 20 leaders were shining with excitement on their faces. They had never heard anyone praise them so much before, so they were all excited and in high spirits.
