Chapter 161 Ma Chao's garrison Cangcheng Mengjin reveals his identity!
Cangcheng.
The morning sun rose slowly, gradually dispelling the dampness and coldness in the air. Ma Chao stood on the tall tower and stared at the location of Jincheng through the gradually dissipating mist. There was no trace of emotion on his handsome face.
There was no trace of expression, and his face was as sinking as water.
"Tap tap tap!"
Rapid footsteps sounded, and in the blink of an eye Pang De's tall figure appeared in front of Ma Chao, accompanied by Ma Jin, the captain of his own cavalry.
"Young General!" The two men looked at the tall and tall pine-like figure on the tower, stepped forward, and shouted with a hint of respect.
"Why are you here?" Although he is asking you, Ma Chao is actually asking Pang De why he brought Ma Jin to see him. After all, as a general in the army, it is normal for Pang De to come to Ma Chao to discuss important matters at any time.
But Ma Jin is just a lieutenant colonel in the army. Although as a colonel in charge of the Ma family's cavalry battle formation, he does receive special attention, but when Ma Chao is alone, Pound can bring him here specifically to see him.
Thinking about it, there is some important reason.
If it were before, Ma Chao would not have such doubts, but when he officially inherited the position of the head of the Ma family, he did not notice any difference at first, but as time went by, especially when
A group of Ma family generals intentionally or unintentionally incorporated this change in status and class into their daily salutes. After the conversation, Ma Chao finally adapted to this change. The superior sometimes does need the majesty of the superior.
"Major General, he has something important to see you!" After the ceremony, Pang looked at Ma Chao's questioning eyes. He hesitated for a while, glanced at Ma Jin beside him with an inexplicable expression, and then replied in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Sensing the weirdness in Pound's words, Ma Chao shifted his gaze to Ma Jin, who was standing calmly aside. Because of Pound just now, Ma Chao hadn't noticed it yet, but with Pound's eyes and words
, Ma Chao instantly noticed the difference in Ma Jin. Both his temperament and momentum seemed to have changed. He was calm and confident.
"Who are you?" Ma Chao, who noticed these changes, naturally no longer regarded Ma Jin as the little captain under him. After all, a captain could not develop such a magnanimous attitude.
"Major General, let me introduce myself again. My real name is Meng. My single name has not changed. It's just that I am no longer Ma Jin of the Ma family but Meng Jin of the Meng family!" Meng Jin heard Ma Chao's inquiry and also
No longer hiding anything, he has been undercover in Ma Jiajun for so long, and he still has a thorough understanding of Ma Chao's temper. The reason why he took the initiative to expose it now
His true identity is not only because Ma Chao has already joined Ying Zige, but the most important thing is that he needs to gain Ma Chao's trust so that he can leave Cangcheng and go to Jicheng to properly report the information here to Ying Zige.
At the same time, he was asked to raise troops as soon as possible and take advantage of this excellent opportunity to annihilate Han Sui and take Liangzhou as a foundation.
In fact, if Ma Chao hadn't paid special attention to the arrangement of sentry guards since he suffered a loss, and was afraid that his sudden and inexplicable disappearance would cause adverse changes in Ma Chao and the Ma Jiajun, Meng Jin would have left long ago.
"Meng?" Ma Chao looked startled, and then he suddenly realized. He looked at the extraordinary Meng Jin in front of him with extremely complicated eyes, and asked, "Are you a member of Lord Ying's command? So you are also the one in Beiyuan?"
"To each his own, Major General!" Meng Jin saluted apologetically. At the same time, he was a little surprised that Ma Chao changed his address to Ying Zige in front of him. He didn't expect Ma Chao to grow up so fast. He immediately
I felt relieved after a while of persuasion.
"Unexpectedly, our Ma family was mixed with sand so early!" Ma Chao shook his head and smiled bitterly, then adjusted his posture and looked at Meng Jin in front of him and asked, "Then why General Meng shows up now?"
"Major General, now that Han Sui's army is weak, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although the general has already sent someone to contact Miss Ma Yunlu in Jicheng, the lord is still hesitant. The general wants to ask for a personal letter from the young general.
Go to Jicheng in person!" Upon hearing Ma Chao's inquiry, Meng Jin clasped his fists apologetically, and then said solemnly to Ma Chao.
"Yes!" After hearing Meng Jin's answer, Ma Chao and Pang De looked at each other and immediately agreed, "I will write a letter in my own hand, but I will have to go through the trouble of General Meng!"
"We are the same master from now on, why should the young general be so polite!" Meng Jin nodded and quickly returned a salute to the two of them.
"Then based on General Meng's estimation, I don't know how long it will take for the lord's reinforcements to arrive!" Ma Chao nodded and looked at Meng Jin.
Therefore, people are creatures of habit. After Ma Chao called out "Lord" for the first time, it was not so uncomfortable and weird the second time.
"Don't be anxious, young general. According to the distance from here to Jicheng, we will be able to arrive within three days. As long as we have a letter from the young general, I am sure that my lord can send troops in one day, and my lord's reinforcements will arrive in five days."
We can reach Cangcheng." Meng Jin replied confidently.
"Nine days?" Ma Chao counted the time silently in his mind, then looked up at the location of Jincheng, his eyes flashed coldly, and murmured to himself, "Okay, it's only nine days, old thief Han, you have to wait.
certain!"
Then he raised his head, looked to the side and said to Meng Jin, "Without further delay, we will go to the study room now and wait for a letter from a certain relative. Please ask General Meng to go and come back early!"
"As you should!" Meng Jin nodded, followed Ma Chao with Pang De, and hurriedly went down the tower and walked straight to the study. Along the way, many Ma family soldiers were attracted.
He looked sideways, wondering what the three of them were doing in such a hurry.
Pang De stared closely at Ma Chao's back in front of him, his eyes flashing with excitement. Since Ma Teng died unexpectedly, he had already noticed a trace of the young Ma Chao's various behaviors and the burden of appeasing the Ma family soldiers.
Tired and a little overwhelmed, but after this battle, he suddenly discovered that Ma Chao had become
He has become more mature and rational, and even the long-lost fighting spirit has appeared in him again. It seems that the Ma family's personal guards have cut off the rear, Meng Jin has been exposed, and now Ying Zige's reinforcements are about to come.
Hope completely ignited the fire in Ma Chao's heart, turning him into the confident young general again.
"Major General, this is the kind of you I know! Only this kind of you can shoulder the heavy burden of avenging the lord and finding a way for the Ma family's soldiers! Only this kind of you can be the lord and our horse.
The leader of the Ma family that the soldiers want to see!"
