1538. Chapter 1538 The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Fallen Leaves III
I don’t know if Guan Yi understood it, but he looked very ugly anyway. He took the paper and pen, put it on the table and began to write vigorously. He stopped several times in the middle, frowned and thought hard for a moment, and then continued
Write.
Ma Xiaoyao stood aside and watched quietly. If he saw something that didn't please his eyes, he would make a little mention. Guan Yi had a good understanding. With Ma Xiaoyao's prompting, he quickly filled up the white paper.
"That's all I know." Guan Yi put down his pen and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Writing this report letter was simply more tiring than fighting a battle.
Ma Xiaoyao picked up the white paper and read it carefully: "Well, yes, your literary talent is very good. Guan Yi, I suggest you write novels in the future. It will definitely be very popular." Ma Xiaoyao joked and turned the white paper over.
He folded it and put it in his arms. This piece of white paper was a strong evidence against Ding Xiong and others. He must keep it well and there must be no mistakes.
"I won't be worried about General Lao Ma for the rest of my life." Guan Yi said coldly.
"Don't be so cold. In fact, we can become friends." Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
"I can't reach that high." Guan Yi didn't give Ma Xiaoyao a good look at all.
"Guan Yi, do you remember that more than a year ago, I was plotted by Han Mingguang's son-in-law, and I finally came to you in desperation to ask for help, but you rejected me. Do you still remember what I told you at that time?" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly mentioned it.
What happened back then: "I said back then that you would definitely regret it! Facts have proved that I was right."
"The villain succeeds." Guan turned his head to the side.
Ma Xiaoyao raised his voice and shouted: "Guan Yi misappropriated military funds, the amount is huge, the crime is unpardonable, arrest him!"
"Hulala..."
A large group of soldiers with knives broke in outside. Without saying a word, they rushed up and tied up Guan Yi. During the whole process, Guan Yi did not resist at all. He was arrested in front of everyone, which made Guan Yi feel very embarrassed.
.
"Take him here and keep him under strict supervision. No one is allowed to visit him without my order." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand.
"Yes!" A group of soldiers pressed Guan Yi and left the tent with serious expressions.
Immediately afterwards, there were shouts outside the big tent, "The general is mighty!" "The general is doing well!" "General Ma, we will always support you!" "A worm like Guan Yi should be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts!"
Ma Xiaoyao's actions won the support of the soldiers. Military expenses were shared by everyone. What was hateful was that those generals were so ungrateful that they squandered all the military expenses. As a result, the soldiers below could not get any money and could only live a miserable life. Soldiers
They had accumulated a lot of grievances for a long time, and now Ma Xiaoyao was willing to stand up for them, recover the military expenditures that had been embezzled, and severely punish the corrupt generals. Ma Xiaoyao's actions have won the support and love of the entire military camp soldiers!
At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao's prestige reached its peak. From this moment on, Ma Xiaoyao's position in the military camp became rock solid, and no one could shake it.
To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao and Han Mingguang are two different people with two different ways of doing things. When Han Mingguang was the commander-in-chief, he wholeheartedly won over the generals in the military camp and never looked down upon the lower-level soldiers.
In his eyes, the soldiers at the bottom are just a bunch of unruly people who should be enslaved and live a life of poverty. It is precisely because of Han Mingguang's connivance that those generals will unscrupulously embezzle military funds and bully soldiers. In fact, it is not only Han Mingguang who is like this.
, the same is true in other places.
Outliers like Ma Xiaoyao are really rare, or unique. Ma Xiaoyao and Han Mingguang's views on life are exactly the opposite. He values the soldiers at the bottom and does not pay much attention to the generals.
After Ma Xiaoyao became the commander-in-chief, he began to implement his own set of theories to suppress the generals and win over the soldiers. Facts have proved that his approach was correct. It was precisely because of the support of hundreds of thousands of soldiers that Ma Xiaoyao was able to serve in the military camp.
To gain a firm foothold within the country, this is in line with the old saying: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
After capturing Guan Yi, Ma Xiaoyao wrote a memorial overnight, and then sent a reliable person to the imperial city quickly for approval by the emperor. If it was an ordinary captain, Ma Xiaoyao could handle it by himself, but Guan Yi
He was not an ordinary captain. Behind him were Marquis Xuanwu and Concubine Hua. That's why Ma Xiaoyao was so cautious. As long as he got the emperor's permission, he didn't have to fear the revenge of Marquis Xuanwu and Concubine Hua.
Dark night.
Ma Xiaoyao stood in front of the window, looking at the dark night in the distance, and said to himself: "It's time to deal with Ding Xiong and others."
…
The news of Ma Xiaoyao's arrest of Guan Yi spread throughout the military camp instantly. After Wu Haibiao got the news, he hurried to Ding Xiong's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, Wu Haibiao shouted: "Is this guy Ma Xiaoyao crazy? Why is he?
Dare to arrest Guan Yi? Doesn’t he know Guan Yi’s background?”
"Even if Ma Xiaoyao doesn't know, Gu Zhiqiu will definitely remind him." Ding Xiong's eyes flashed with gleams.
"Since he knew that Guan Yi had an unusual background, why did he dare to arrest Guan Yi? Wasn't he afraid of revenge from Marquis Xuanwu?" Wu Haibiao was puzzled.
"We all underestimated Ma Xiaoyao." Ding Xiong let out a sullen breath: "Ma Xiaoyao must have seen that we were causing trouble behind his back, so he used thunderous means to arrest Guan Yi. In this way, his prestige in the military camp will be greatly reduced.
It's higher, and we have no excuse to embarrass him... This is a move to destroy the boat, and another move to bring the dead back to life. It's awesome, it's awesome. If it were me, I would never make up my mind so quickly."
"What to do next?" Wu Haibiao asked.
"When the matter has reached this point, we can no longer intervene." Ding Xiong shook his head: "The next battlefield will be led by Xuanwu Hou." At this point, Ding Xiong smiled, but it was just a sneer: "Guan Yi
But Xuanwuhou's father-in-law, Ma Xiaoyao, caught Guan Yi, which is like slapping Xuanwuhou in the face. Xuanwuhou will definitely not let it go. Look, there will definitely be more drama next."
"Damn it, Ma Xiaoyao is really awesome, I'm convinced by him." Wu Haibiao patted the table: "It's a pity that we don't agree with each other. If not, I will definitely make friends with him."
"Stop talking about the useless stuff." Ding Xiong glared at Wu Haibiao: "The deadline set by the emperor to solve the case is getting closer and closer, and coupled with the matter of arresting Guan Yi, Ma Xiaoyao is under great pressure. He is probably sleeping now.
Can’t sleep anymore.”
"The bad days are finally coming to an end. After Ma Xiaoyao falls, I will have a good time for a few days." Wu Haibiao hummed, patting his round belly.
"Report!"
A guard suddenly ran in and handed an invitation to Ding Xiong: "Sir, this is sent by someone from the General Military Mansion."
"General Military Mansion?" Ding Xiong opened the invitation and took a look at it suspiciously, then frowned.
"What is it?" Wu Haibiao's face was full of curiosity.
"See for yourself." Ding Xiong threw the invitation to Wu Haibiao.
Wu Haibiao quickly opened the invitation and took a look: "Ma Xiaoyao invites you to dinner? It's so good, why does he invite you to dinner? There must be something wrong with it."
"I can't guess what Ma Xiaoyao is thinking..." Ding Xiong shook his head: "Logically speaking, I have already broken up with Ma Xiaoyao. It's too late for him to hold grudges against me. How could he invite you to dinner? There is definitely a conspiracy here.
."
"He won't just invite you, right?" Wu Haibiao suddenly asked.
Ding Xiong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I shouldn't be the only one invited... Maybe the invitation will also be sent to your house... The other captains of ten thousand may also have received the invitation."
"Could it be that... Ma Xiaoyao knew that he was going to be doomed, so he decided to have a showdown with us?" Wu Haibiao guessed: "Please be kind to us and let him go? Make peace with us?"
"This possibility is very low..." Ding Xiong curled his lips.
"Since we know there is a conspiracy, let's not go."
"Don't go? Wouldn't that make us appear as cowardly as rats? If this gets out, our reputation will be ruined."
"You mean...going to a banquet?"
"We must go, but we must be fully prepared and withdraw as soon as we find something wrong."
"Well, I think this matter should be discussed with other people."
…
"Report!"
The guard's announcement came from outside, saying that several other captains of ten thousand men had arrived.
Ding Xiong smiled: "Cao Cao will be here soon. It seems that they are here because of the invitation."
After a while, all the other eight captains of ten thousand arrived. As soon as they entered the door, everyone asked Ding Xiong and Wu Haibiao if they had received Ma Xiaoyao's invitation.
"As expected, you are here for the invitation." Ding Xiong asked everyone to sit down, and then asked the servant to serve tea: "I also just received the invitation from Ma Xiaoyao... Tell me, do you want to attend this banquet?
"
"I don't think I can go..."
"Wouldn't it seem inappropriate not to go?"
"Ten of us will go together. Even if Ma Xiaoyao wants to play some conspiracy, we are not afraid of him!"
"I don't think I can go."
"It's just a meal, what are you afraid of?"
…
Everyone was quarreling constantly and had very different opinions.
"Let's do this. We will vote by a show of hands, and the minority will obey the majority." Ding Xiong was the first to raise his hand: "I agree to attend the banquet."
"I agree too!" Wu Haibiao raised his hand immediately.
Then four more people raised their voices intermittently, including Tian Zhengang.
"A total of six people agreed to attend the banquet, which is the majority." Ding Xiong said with a smile: "In that case, let's go and have a look. As Old Liu said, ten of us will go together, even if Ma Xiaoyao wants to play a conspiracy, he is not afraid
, at worst, we will bring more soldiers."
"I have a suggestion." Liu Zihao suddenly said: "I think it is too dangerous to go to the General Military Mansion. If Ma Xiaoyao really wants to engage in any conspiracy, then our situation will be dangerous... So I think we should change our place."
"Change a place? You said it's easy, can Ma Xiaoyao agree?" Wu Haibiao said.
