Chapter 1118 East City Gate

"Xi Zhicai is actually the Sicao Xizhicai of Jing'an Cao under the Cao family!" After crossing the river, Yang Xiu joined the shadow who rushed to him later.Quickly flying into Wei Yan's garrison camp, he yelled these words at Wei Yan.

"Boy Yang, what are you talking about? Wei Yan, who has just issued a few military orders, doesn't look very good, especially when he sees Yang Xiu barging into this spot like this. Killing the awe-inspiring camp of the Chinese army, the eyebrows were raised even higher.

Wei Yan has always been a proud guy, and the entire Ma family army knows this.However, among the Ma family's evil group full of talents and demons dancing wildly, Wei Yan has self-knowledge even though he is conceited of his intelligence.Therefore, most of the time, Wei Yan, who is sharp and angular, often just makes a few suggestions, which makes Ma Chao and everyone look at him with admiration.But this way is just a covert way for Wei Yan to express his talent, and it doesn't mean that the pride in his heart has been reduced by half.

Yang Xiu, a member of the family, always quotes scriptures and exaggerates when discussing matters.Wei Yan didn't say this, but he was very taboo in his heart.Especially today, Yang Xiu directly informed him that he would send more people to check the people entering and exiting. Wei Yan was even more annoyed at this point—you know, Yang Xiu is just a pick-me-up from the Ministry of Education, even though he was directly appointed by the lord.But compared to him, General Jianwei, who guards the first county in Hedong, Yang Xiu's actions are quite cumbersome and disrespectful to Wei Yan, no matter in terms of rank or authority.

Yang Xiu is also a person with clear eyes and a bright heart. Seeing Wei Yan's reaction at this time, he was also stunned.Immediately took two steps back, cupped his hands and apologized: "General Wei, I have offended you, General Wanwang forgive me."

Seeing that Yang Xiu is also considered to be knowledgeable at the moment, Wei Yan's face also eased a little, and he said: "I also work for the Ma family, Mr. Yang said that it is unreasonable. Just now I have ordered more manpower and strict inspection of the city gate. I've sent it out, I don't know what's going on with Mister this time?"

Yang Xiu, who was in a hurry, heard Wei Yan mentioning this, and immediately took a step forward, and said quickly: "General Wei, I'm afraid it's not enough to just send more people. Be bold, please lead a team and rush to the place together with me. Suzaku's East Gate is strictly investigating!"

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows again, although Yang Xiu said it politely, but this request.But he directly intervened in his army, which made Wei Yan unhappy.However, Yang Xiu is also a quick-witted person, seeing this, he couldn't help adding: "The general also knows that there may be big fish in Hedong City this time. Evil Lai Dianwei is guarding the left and right, and the lord has left a few days ago. Now in Anyi City , the only person who can hold Dian Wei down with his bravery and majesty is the general!"

This handful just hit the mane of Wei Yan's smooth-haired donkey. Although Wei Yan was not a vain and vain bureaucrat like Yuan Shao's, he couldn't help pretending to be happy when he was praised by Yang Xiu: "Mr. It is reasonable to say so, but there are many military affairs, and I am suddenly leaving..."

At this time, Yang Xiu didn't know what Wei Yan was thinking.After organizing some words in his mind, he opened his mouth and said, "Maybe a reckless man Dian Wei is not enough, what if we add Xi Zhicai?"

"Xi Zhicai?!" Wei Yan suddenly remembered the words Yang Xiu had just entered the camp at this time, and immediately got up and asked, "But that spy chief under Mr. Cao, Xi Zhicai?!"

The word 'secret agent' is naturally a derogatory term used by the Ma family to refer to the princes of other families.Yang Xiu saw that Wei Yan was already moved, so he knew that the pleading was a sure thing, and immediately replied calmly: "Of course it's the spy chief. Unexpectedly, this guy who my lord has always been afraid of is right under our noses. If we can't catch him this time, Seeing him, what can we do in front of the lord..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Xiu felt a gust of wind blowing beside him, and the next moment, Wei Yan's loud voice sounded behind him: "Guards, get on your horse and follow me to catch the thief! Prepare hard crossbows and nets, this time we have to deal with It's a hard idea!"

The corner of Yang Xiu's mouth was filled with joy. After asking for generals, he found that he was short of those strategists who were truly independent. Controlling people's hearts and following the trend turned out to be an indescribable but crucial subject. Practical ability.

Just when Yang Xiu rushed to ask Wei Yan to go out, the garrison chief of Suzaku's east gate had received Wei Yan's order to close the gate hastily, and mobilized all the people to guard the gate, and strictly checked the people entering and leaving.Although he himself was surprised by this inexplicable order, but the military order was like a mountain, he still carried it out to the letter.

From receiving the order to the present, there have been several waves of people begging him to be accommodating. There are all kinds of reasons, but there is only one ending, and that is the refusal with no room for change—this garrison chief has a natural fear of responsibility, and would rather kill by mistake. One thousand, not one.

Such an approach will undoubtedly bring troubles to the lives of the people in Anyi City.But at the same time, it has to be said that what he did was better than Yang Xiu expected.

Seeing that the sun was rising three poles, the head of the gate garrison held the spear in one hand and put the other hand to his mouth in boredom, and yawned long.The people who had been warned all hid in their homes, the streets were empty, and there was no one in front of the city gate.

At this moment, the head guard saw an ox cart approaching the south gate.The black ox in the bullock cart is very strong, and the two black horns are faintly shining; the goods pulled behind the cart are covered with a piece of coarse felt, which is not clear, but judging from the shape, it is something like a big earthen jar.

"Stop! Where are you going!" the gate guard shouted.

The ox cart came to a sudden stop, and a merchant jumped out of the cart, approached the gate guard with a big smile on his face and said, "Master Jun, this is a small cart."

"Oh, it's you." The chief guard knew this guy, he knew his name was Ma Xiaoqi, he was in the ceramics business, he often went back and forth between Bingzhou and Jizhou, and he was basically familiar with the guards.However, the head of the door guard did not dare to take it lightly today: "What are you transporting in this car?"

"Hey, I ordered a batch of urns a few days ago, and several of them were damaged. I feel distressed, but there is nothing I can do. I have to go to Shangdang's workshop in Bingzhou to return the goods, or I will lose money."

The head of the gate garrison gave him a sympathetic look, and said in a relieved tone: "This will cost a lot of money."

Ma Xiaoqi hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then asked carefully in a low voice: "Can you let me go out a little bit, this matter cannot be delayed." After the order was lifted, he was the first to let him go.Ma Xiaoqi still didn't give up, and used the kung fu of a businessman's stalking and beating him to be soft and hard, but the chief guard was not soft on his words.

While the two were in a stalemate, a knight approached the city gate from the other side and stopped the horse in front of the ox cart.This man is very majestic, sitting astride a war horse, like an iron tower war god, with a rough and majestic face.He glanced at the ox cart, picked up the whip and asked the gate guard: "I am the captain of General Wei Yan, what happened here?"

The guard of the gate saw the fierce figure of this man, and his heart trembled for a moment.But seeing him wearing Majia Qingqi high-end battle armor, he declared his family.In my heart, I was only proud of the fact that the Ma family army had such a warrior, so I didn't dare to be negligent, and after standing still, I reported the matter in detail.The military officer got off his horse, walked to the bullock cart with his hands behind his back, looked Ma Xiaoqi up and down with his eyes, Ma Xiaoqi smiled uncomfortably, and moved his feet inadvertently.

"I learned that the general's order is to strictly check the people entering and leaving, but he didn't say that the city gate must be closed?" The military attache gave up his stare at Ma Xiaoqi, and turned to the gate guard and asked.

When the gate guard heard this, he felt a little panicked, and quickly explained: "My lord general said that there are spies hidden in the city, and I did this for..."

"No, no." Seeing the frightened look of the guard, the military officer waved his hands and said, "I'm not blaming you for doing this, but that you did a good job." The military officer seemed vicious, but his words But he said it sincerely.Hearing it in the ears of the head of the gate, his heart immediately warmed up, and even his standing figure became more straight.

"However, you are more than cautious...but your eyesight is not enough..." The military officer suddenly turned his head, pushed Ma Xiaoqi away, and suddenly lifted the tarpaulin on the bullock cart, revealing several large earthy brown urns on the bullock cart.

Ma Xiaoqi's complexion immediately changed...
