Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 345: Weng and son-in-law meet, husband and wife reunite

Ma Ji led five hundred border troops and a long convoy to the outside of Shahukou.

Today, the south of Shahukou has turned into a huge military camp. More than the elite of the border troops are stationed here. They only need to wait for the order from the coach Wang Lie to launch a full-scale attack deep into the grassland.

When a group of people arrived outside the camp gate, the camp had already received the news.

Wang Lie sent his deputy general Liu Bin to welcome Ma Ji and others into the military camp. The men, horses and vehicles were relocated separately, while Ma Ji was led by Liu Bin to the entrance to kill Hu.

It is said that Liu Bin and Ma Ji's father, Ma Yao, were also former brothers, so Ma Ji called them "uncle".

When the two came outside the handsome hall, the guards guarding the door stopped them. The leader seemed to be suppressing a smile on his face and said: "The commander has an order, and he ordered the people to report to the door and come in!"

Liu Bin on the side was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

Ma Ji looked embarrassed, knowing that this was a threat from his father-in-law to his hairy son-in-law. The reason was probably that he bypassed him and directly ordered a marriage from Long'an Emperor Li Hui, marrying his only daughter into the family.

If you don't understand things straight, you won't be strong. At this moment, even though Ma Ji III is a man, he can't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

He coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said loudly: "I'm going to be the magistrate of Taiyuan and also the marching counselor of the Northern Army, Ma Ji Gaojin!"

This position of "March Counselor" was temporarily appointed by Wu King Li Hang with the power of supervising the army.

A moment later, an old but energetic voice came from the door: "Come in and talk!"

Ma Ji, who had always held his hands in a respectful posture, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Marshal!" Then he put down his hands and walked in. Liu Bin was stopped by the soldiers. Knowing that he could not watch the excitement, he stayed with some regret. Outside the door.

In the handsome hall, Wang Lie was the only one standing in front of the wall with his hands behind his hands, looking at a huge map hanging on the wall.

Ma Ji took a few steps forward and came behind the gray-haired veteran who was as tall as a pine tree. He bowed his hands and saluted again. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "My son-in-law, Ma Ji, I have met my father-in-law!"

Wang Lie snorted coldly, turned around and looked at him up and down for a long time, a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes, but his words still had a bad meaning: "You kid, what are your great strengths that can win my family's penis?" Favor to marry?"

Ma Ji smiled and said, "My father-in-law is generous. As the saying goes, 'If you are destined to meet each other, you will come thousands of miles away, but if you are not destined to meet, you will never meet in the opposite direction.' My son-in-law and Heng'er fell in love at first sight. Maybe it was the fate in the past life that will continue in this life."

Wang Lie had the intention to scold him as "nonsense", but when he thought about his daughter's high-mindedness, she always treated all young heroes with sincerity, but she had a soft spot for the boy in front of her. Apart from the word "fate", she really didn't have any words. A more reasonable explanation.

Ma Ji secretly saw that his expression softened slightly, and then asked again: "Father-in-law, isn't Heng'er in the military camp?"

Wang Lie sighed: "You are a step too late. Heng'er has led three thousand fine cavalry out of Shahukou a few days ago. He wants to wipe out all the barbarian tribes within a hundred miles of the northern border and completely cut off the northern barbarians' eyes and ears from spying on us. For It’s best to be prepared when the army goes out.”

Ma Ji hurriedly said: "In that case, my son-in-law asked himself to lead a team of troops to assist Heng'er."

Wang Lie said: "Is marching and fighting a child's play? Although Heng'er said that you are very knowledgeable in military strategy, talking about war on paper and actual combat on the battlefield are two different things. I can't just leave my men to you to take risks!"

Although he was underestimated by the opponent, Ma Ji was not annoyed at all. If Wang Lie heard his words, he would immediately allocate troops. Instead, he would question whether the opponent's reputation as a famous general in the world was worthy of the name.

He raised his finger and pointed at the map on the wall, with a confident smile on his face, and said slowly: "My son-in-law is bold and wants to conduct a military drill with his father-in-law. Whether it is a war on paper, you will know after a try!"

Wang Lie looked at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "Good boy, just because of your courage, I will give you a high look. Forget it, I will try to see how much you can compare to that boy Ma Yao." Back then, you were my most valued general, and if you were considered a slut, you could barely go to the battlefield once."

Afterwards, Wang Lie and Ma Ji pointed at the map on the wall and dictated their military plans and conducted a battle simulation.

Wang Lie had been dealing with the barbarians on the grassland for decades. He knew himself and the enemy, so he placed himself on the barbarian side, while Ma Ji was on the Northern Expeditionary Army side.

At first, the two sides only had several small-scale confrontations at the tactical level.

When it comes to Ma Ji's military strategy, he half figured it out on his own in his previous life, and half learned it from his brother-in-law Qi Jiguang. After experiencing many wars in the grasslands and Korea, he has already become a master of his own, so at the beginning he was evenly matched with Wang Liekan. . However, as the two sides gradually expanded the war situation and eventually rose to the level of "national war", Ma Ji's various methods involving politics, economy, religion, culture and other fields outside the battlefield showed that they were no less powerful than those on the battlefield. , gradually overwhelmed Wang Lie, who was only good at managing battlefields.

When Ma Ji came up with the last plan of "exterminating every household" and used the vicious method of spreading plague to turn the last piece of grassland territory under Wang Lie's control into a dead place where all life was extinct, Wang Lie could only admit defeat calmly after sighing that "the next generation is terrible".

Ma Ji saw that his father-in-law was speechless for a long time, with a complicated look on his face, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "These days, my son-in-law has already thought about the strategy of using troops on the grassland thousands of times, and my father-in-law is temporarily playing the role of a barbarian on the grassland. My son-in-law is prepared to defeat the enemy. Be prepared, truth is the same as cheating, it doesn’t count.”

Wang Lie shook his head and said: "To defeat the enemy, there are five essentials: Tao, heaven, earth, generals, and laws. I know that I can check the weather, know the location, know the general strategy, and strictly enforce military laws, so I can fight all over the battlefield without resistance. But I still can't. After understanding the most mysterious "Tao", I never had the confidence to fight a "country-destroying" battle. Today, I did this deduction with my wise son-in-law, and I realized that the so-called "Tao" must be found outside the battlefield. "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

Ma Ji hurriedly said humbly: "My father-in-law has given me too much praise. After all, my son-in-law is still an armchair strategist on paper. How can he compare with your battle-hardened military generals in the market!"

Wang Lie waved his hand and said with a smile: "A good son-in-law does not need to be too modest. I know the reality of the prairie barbarians very well, and I have assumed the identity of the other party many times to deduce the battle situation. It is not an unprepared battle. This time I am convinced of the defeat."

Ma Ji knew that humility seemed hypocritical at this moment, and acceptance seemed proud, so he could only smile and say nothing.

Wang Lie was obviously very satisfied with his performance. He beckoned him to sit aside with him and said with a serious look: "Xian son-in-law, that last move of yours was too cruel. If you use it, I'm afraid you will provoke some unscrupulous people." It’s the old monster who should interfere with worldly affairs, so don’t use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.”

Ma Ji now has an in-depth understanding of the situation on the grassland and knows who his father-in-law is talking about. He nodded and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, there won't be a famous general like my father-in-law among the Northern Barbarians, so he won't force my son-in-law to come out here." The next step.”

Having said that, he already had a hunch in his heart that this time the war to destroy the country would probably be limited to the secular level. After all, the last time had already attracted "Wolf God" Yamatina and other monster giants.

However, as the saying goes, "When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them." When the capital and Long'an Emperor Li Hui were planning this battle, he had already considered this level. Li Hui also personally visited Grand Master Yuan Dansheng to "Hun" Experts from the "Heavenly Supervisory Yuan" were transferred to the north to prepare for emergencies.

At this moment, Wang Lie had truly recognized Ma Ji as his quick son-in-law. After the two men chatted harmoniously for a while, he agreed to Ma Ji's request and still deployed the 500 border troops who were originally under Wang Heng's command. Give it to him and let him take Chusha Hukou to meet with Wang Heng.

Although the grassland was vast, Ma Ji naturally had the means to find Wang Heng. It only took him three days to meet Wang Heng, who had just wiped out a barbarian tribe.

At this moment, Wang Heng had slaughtered all the young men of the tribe and was driving the remaining old, weak, women and children northward.

Ma Ji naturally knew the profound meaning of her move. Firstly, he used the mouths of these old and weak women and children to spread an atmosphere of panic and caused the grassland tribes near the border to become chaotic without fighting. Secondly, he used these old and weak women and children to consume the grassland, which had experienced natural disasters and wars. There are not many resources left.

"Sister Heng!"

After the meeting, before Ma Ji could say anything, Jiao Na, who was dressed as a pretty little soldier next to him, screamed joyfully and rushed over on horseback. She looked up and down at Wang Heng, who was still wearing a murderous uniform, and she was amazed. His eyes were full of admiration.

Although Ma Ji and Wang Heng were already married, she still used the original title of Wang Heng, and changed her name to "Master's Mother". Her little intention was obvious.

Wang Heng joked with Jiao Na for a few words, and then looked at Ma Ji who was riding the "Dark Lord" slowly forward.

In their two lives as a couple, they no longer need the tenderness and sweetness of a young couple. Just making eye contact and saying "I'm here" is worth a thousand words.

At that time, the two sides were in the same place. During a brief rest, Ma Ji and Wang Heng each talked about the situation after farewell and agreed on the next plan.

Wang Heng first knew that his husband's ability to command the army was better than his own, and secondly, he wanted to help him achieve great success. He had the intention to gradually transfer the military power to his hands, and he was willing to serve as deputy.

But Ma Ji had other plans in mind, so he rejected his wife's kindness and still let her serve as the commander-in-chief. He played the role of marching counselor. In most cases, he only made suggestions for her and rarely even took actual action.

In the next three months, the couple worked together to wipe out all the barbarian tribes within a hundred miles of the northern border of Datong. Wherever Wang Heng's iconic "Phoenix Flag" went, the barbarians often collapsed without a fight. Create a vacuum of information isolation at the border.

The Barbarian Royal Court had already received the news that Damu Khan, the successor of the Barbarian Co-leader, wanted to avenge his father Botu Khan, and secondly wanted to show his might and consolidate the Khan's throne, so he personally led 30,000 of the Royal Court's elite cavalry southward, vowing to conquer Wang Heng's head and the "Phoenix Flag" were left on the grassland.

The remaining major northern barbarian forces chose to sit back and watch, seemingly using this battle to test the quality of the new young leader.
