The information General Mo got from the Xiangjian message was that Zheng Yuanyun asked him to go to Xilong City to see if the reinforcements had arrived here as Wang Hao said.

At this moment, after talking with Huang Shi, and seeing a large number of soldiers on the other side of the river busy repairing bridges and ships, this matter can be confirmed.

As for the subsequent instructions, Zheng Yuanyun did not mention them in Xiangjian, and he did not dare to answer easily.

Huang Shi was naturally not in a hurry. He nodded and said that he would continue to wait here, and then watched General Mo and his party leave.

Turning back, he looked at Ma Hui and said, "Brother Ma, don't blame me for taking your credit. It's actually better for me to come forward in this matter."

Ma Hui nodded quickly and said: "Brother Huang, whatever you said, I will naturally spare my brother's worries and know that you are doing this for my own good."

The two of them had been drinking in the big tent before, and after getting drunk, Ma Hui told the truth about many things that were weighing on his mind because of his good friendship with Huang Shi back then.

This included the incomplete request for help and the orders Zheng Yuanyun gave him when he left Ketan City.

Before General Mo arrived, Huang Shi was analyzing him.

According to him, it was not that he doubted the authenticity of this document, but that there was indeed a trace of insecurity in it.

If anything went wrong in this matter, Ma Hui would be the first to bear the brunt of Zheng Yuanyun's wrath.

And even if this matter is true, if there is a deviation in the direction of the situation in the future, Mr. Zheng will just have nothing to do. If there is something, Ma Hui really can't explain it clearly with only a document that is so damaged that he can't see his name.

, in order to find a scapegoat, the first person Mr. Zheng would look for would of course be Ma Hui.

Ma Hui, who knew Mr. Zheng well as a human being, felt his heart sinking. Naturally, he knew that what Huang Shi said was the truth. Just when he wanted to ask Huang Shi for a solution to the matter, the messenger informed General Mo and his party.

s arrival.

What moved Ma Hui was that not only had Huang Shi been thinking about him, but he also stepped forward and took over the other party's problems for him.

Huang Shi's move was really a great opportunity for Ma Hui to escape from the predicament.

First of all, Huang Shi indeed got a request for help from Master Zheng and came here from Anluo Province. This is very clear, and there is a complete request for help document as proof.

In addition, Huang Shi did bring troops. Although there were not as many as 500,000, there were indeed troops.

He stepped forward to take over General Mo's problem for himself, and said that there were 500,000 troops here. So in fact, if you think about General Mo, it means that Huang Shi brought 500,000 reinforcements to Nantes Province.

.

This made Ma Hui completely independent. Whether it was the military strength here or the work of repairing bridges and roads, it had nothing to do with him anymore. Everything was directed by Huang Shi.

In this way, his hard work this month was certainly in vain, but compared to the possible consequences, this is actually nothing.

As for him, he can now return to Ketan City. At most, he can exchange with Huang Shi's troops. He will lead Huang Shi's 200,000 people to blockade Ketan City again, while Huang Shi will lead his five troops.

One hundred thousand elite soldiers rushed to support Mr. Zheng.

At worst, if asked, Huang Shi could still tell Mr. Zheng that he only had 200,000 troops on hand, which was probably not enough, so he borrowed some from General Ma of Ketan City and made up the number of 500,000.

I guess Mr. Zheng won't say much.

In this way, all of Ma Hui's achievements are lost, but the advantage is to be safe. If the situation changes, or if something is said unfavorably, Mr. Zheng finally fails, this matter has nothing to do with him, Ma Hui.

He just followed Master Zheng's instructions and stood firm in Ketan City.

On the contrary, he faithfully fulfilled Master Zheng's order and did not let Chen Ze leave Ketan City. This was enough.

He didn't know whether he could capture the province of Nantes, but Chen Ze didn't leave the city of Cattan, which was a credit to him.

Of course, Chen Ze had left before, but he had just said that he was just serving as a guide for Huang Shi and would then return to Ketan City.

Ma Hui also believed that Chen Ze would not joke with him at such a sensitive time. Not only did he not return to Ketan City, but he even ran around.

What does he have to run for?

At present, most of the territory of Nantes Province belongs to Lord Zheng. Wherever he goes, it is still under Lord Zheng's control.

Furthermore, if he acted quickly now, he could catch up with Chen Ze who had just left and go back to Ketan City with him.

After much deliberation, Huang Shi's method of making the decision without consulting him was indeed the safest and most secure method for Ma Hui at the moment.

Huang Shi saw that Ma Hui was taking the right path, so he even struck the iron while it was hot: "Brother Ma, since I have made the decision for you, and you have no objection, then I think it is better to just do this. Look,

how?"

When Ma Hui felt relaxed, he heard the words and raised his hands to Huang Shi and said: "I don't have any objections. I, Ma Hui, have recorded today's feelings. If Brother Huang has any mission in the future, Ma Hui will definitely be a sword in the mountains and a sea of ​​fire."

Don’t give up!”

Huang Shi said hurriedly: "Brother Ma, what are you talking about? We are both imperial generals, and we should look out for each other and help each other. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with the current situation, and it will not have any impact on Mr. Zheng."

What's the impact there? On the contrary, the credit for Brother Ma's hard work for a month has been taken away by me, and I feel guilty!"

The two of them each showed humility, and naturally they would not discuss such important matters in the same place anymore, so they returned to the big tent together, changing cups and cups while discussing various details.

In the end, the two people decided that the 200,000 soldiers brought by Huang Shi would still be led by himself, while Ma Hui allocated 300,000 of the 500,000 soldiers to Huang Shi's command, and still managed to make up the remaining 500,000.

After counting, Ma Hui took the remaining 200,000 back to Ketan City to continue the blockade.

And Huang Shi will also tell the composition of the 500,000 troops if he rushes to rendezvous after receiving Master Zheng's follow-up order. By the way, Ma Hui is behind it, and he hopes to be able to replace Ma Hui to some extent.

Make up for some lost credit.

The two were discussing here, and after General Namo got the confirmation, he hurried back to the city where he was stationed, and sent the information back to Zheng Yuanyun through the sounding arrow.

About half a day later, Zheng Yuanyun heard with his own ears the message from the rear.

There is no need for the messenger to interpret this. He himself understands the information very well.
