Luo Feng knew that Zhang Xinyi was worried about her own safety and said, "Don't worry, take the Red Robe League out. If you are safe, I will be safe."
Luo Feng is the city lord, and what he says is an order. Besides, this sentence makes sense. As long as Zhang Xinyi is doing well outside, Sesha City will definitely be fine.
Seeing Luo Feng's persistence, Zhang Xinyi had no choice but to agree.
Outside Essie City, a neat row of people stood on both sides of the city gate. Ma Heng looked up from the crowd along the road.
At the end of the world, figures slowly appeared on the ground one by one. There were more and more figures, more and more dense, walking towards Essie City.
"City Lord, look, the young master is back." Ma Zhou excitedly pointed at the army in the distance.
In this attack on Mande City, Ma Heng allowed Ma Xiaoke to lead the army independently for the first time. He was worried about such a son.
Seeing the troops coming back, a smile slowly appeared on Ma Heng's face: "Fortunately, I was not disappointed."
"City Lord, don't worry. A few people can withstand the young master's fighting power, and Captain Ning can only stand aside." Ma Zhou kept saying.
Ma Xiaoke led the army to the foot of Aiqi City, ran to Ma Heng, and said happily: "City Lord, have you received the battle report? The Lord of Mande City was hacked to death by me with a knife, and the city was easily taken."
Ning Tai, who was on the side, also had a look of joy on his face: "City Lord, my son has high combat power and bravery in battle. He led the army to crush the Mande City army all the way to the city. Before they reached the City Lord's Mansion, the troops in Mande City were abandoned. It’s so happy to surrender the weapons, hahaha.”
Ma Heng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, I received the news that you are returning to the city. I specially brought the city officials here to welcome you and welcome you into the city. I will reward all the meritorious people tonight."
"Come, enter the city." Ma Heng led the heroes, officials and troops through the city gate and entered the city.
In the banquet hall, Ma Heng sat up, mouth closed with joy, picked up the wine bowl, and looked at the heroes and officials on both sides below.
"Everyone, it is all because of your contribution that Essie City is what it is today. I would like to offer you a bowl and drink." Ma Heng raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, as if he still had something to say.
After everyone drank all the wine, Ning Tai put down the wine bowl and said: "City Lord, Ai Qian was able to transform from a village into a city, and now she has captured two surrounding cities. The expansion of her territory to such a large area is all due to the City Lord's strategy and the young master's super strength. Combat strength, we are just putting out some stupid strength."
Starting from the village, Ningtai followed Ma Heng to fight everywhere. Almost all villages and towns were conquered by Ningtai, and his prestige in the army was second only to Ma Heng.
"Captain Ning is too polite. Your military achievements are the greatest. I want to give you another bowl. Come on."
When Ning Tai saw Ma Heng raising the wine bowl, he immediately picked up the wine bowl on the table and drank it all in one gulp, shouting boldly: "Thank you City Lord."
This time, Ning Tai only assisted in the capture of Mande City, but he followed Ma Xiaoke closely during the war and made many military exploits.
"Hahaha, you are all too polite." Ma Xiaoke said with a smile: "In the past, Ning Qizhang was one of your arms, father. Now that I have grown up, I can become your other arm. When the time comes, Ning Qizhang and I will Together, who is still our opponent in Essie City?"
This time Ma Xiaoke won Mander City. Ma Heng was the happiest person, but he was a little worried when he saw Ma Xiaoke's arrogance.
"You, you need to practice more and learn more from Commander Ning. High combat power is only one aspect, the way to unite the army is also important."
"That is."
After Ma Xiaoke said this, he felt that capturing Mande City this time was not enough, so he continued: "City Lord, otherwise, in order to learn more about how to lead an army, let Captain Ning join me to attack Lu'an City in the northwest. .”
As soon as he came back, he wanted to go out. Ma Heng said: "There is something wrong with attacking Lu'an City."
"What's wrong," Ma Xiaoke said, "Pei Yanfu from Natu City has already captured Kede City and is heading south. Lu'an City belongs to them."
There is a river between Aiqi City and Lu'an City. The river surface is relatively wide, and there is only a long bridge connecting the two places.
After thinking about it, Ma Heng said: "Lu'an City is located in the north of Puxia Hebei. If we occupy Lu'an City, we will fall into the attack of Pei Yanfu, Qibin City, and Liantai City in Hebei Province. Instead of doing this, it is better to directly capture Dula City in the southwest and Dula City in the southwest." It is a mountain range, with the Puxia River to the north, and only the southeast is connected to Essie City and Mande City. It would be more appropriate to capture Du La and consolidate Henan."
Ma Xiaoke doesn't care where to attack, as long as there is something available to fight: "The city lord said that the best time to attack Du La is when to start."
This means that wind is like rain. Ma Heng said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone has a good drink today. Come on, everyone drink."
Ma Heng changed the topic, and Ma Xiaoke could only drink.
The candles in the banquet hall were brightly lit, extending along the various passages, illuminating half of the city lord's palace. It wasn't until late at night that the candlelight slowly went out, and the entire city lord's mansion became quiet.
In Kede City, after Pei Yanfu and Shi Jie and others inspected the city, he stood on the city tower and looked at the vast world to the south.
"Going south from here is Lu'an City." Pei Yanfu said with unfinished meaning.
Shi Jie, who was standing next to Pei Yanfu, was wearing strong clothes and had a thin figure, but his muscles were looming under the clothes, making him look particularly strong.
"As long as the city lord gives the order, I will immediately lead the army to attack Lu'an City."
Before he attacked Kede City, Pei Yanfu had already planned to seize Kede City and then go directly south to take Lu'an City as his own.
"Now we have to divide our troops to garrison Natu City and Kode City. We only have four battalions of troops available to you."
There are two banners of troops in Lu'an City, and the city lord Lin Ying is also a hero with strong combat power. It will be difficult to capture. Pei Yanfu said this, but he was still hesitating in his heart.
When Shi Jie heard the four battalions, he shouted without hesitation: "Four battalions are just four battalions. They can be called the strength of one banner. We will definitely capture Lu'an City within ten days."
Unexpectedly, Shi Jie agreed so quickly. Pei Yanfu turned his head and looked at Shi Jie with a look of death. He gave up the hesitation in his heart and said: "Okay, you get ready right away. I will immediately send people to Aiqi City in Henan to discuss it." Sign a peace agreement, and as long as Ma Heng agrees, we can capture Lu'an City."
"It's so troublesome." Shi Jie said, "Why don't we just fight?"
Pei Yanfu said: "You only have four battalions of troops. We don't know whether we can capture Lu'an City. If Ma Heng sends troops again, how can we resist it."
He knew about the battle power of Aixian City. After listening to Pei Yanfu's words, he whispered: "Okay, I'll go and prepare. I'm just waiting for the city lord's order."
"Um."
After Pei Yanfu finished speaking, he took the stone steps down to the tower.
In Aiqi City, Ma Xiaoke pestered Ma Heng every day to ask when he would attack Dula City. This question had become a daily occurrence, making it known to everyone.
