Chapter 228: The Great Qin Bitter Miao Clan has been around for a long time
At this time, the capital of Chu State, the suburbs.
"Head, there are only a few dozen of us, and we suddenly went out of the city to do this...... What if someone targets us?"
"Are you stupid, have you forgotten the identity that Gongzi prepared for us in advance?" Ma Wu raised his eyebrows.
"yes, we're fishermen who came out to fish. The subordinate patted his head, and he was so nervous.
"Alright, Xiao Lin, you can take a few brothers to the top of that mountain in a moment, and if there is any special terrain, remember to tell me immediately, and I will immediately bring someone over to draw a sketch. Ma Wu said.
"Yes, Lao Han, Lao Wu, you two will go to that river valley with me to have a look!" The young man known as Xiao Lin immediately called the two of them to go over together.
"Okay, here we go!"
Ma Wu (?~61), the name Zizhang, was a native of Huyang County, Nanyang County (now Tanghe County, Henan). He is a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.
When he was a teenager, he moved to Jiangxia County to avoid his enemies. Later, he joined the Green Forest Army and was the general of the Xinshi Army. In the first two years (24 years), he returned to the great Sima Liu Xiu, served as the capture general, followed the army to fight in the south and the north, pacified the Quartet, and assisted Liu Xiu in establishing the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, he paid homage to the lieutenant and rode the capital, and was named the Marquis of Yang Xu, because he was invited by the court.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne and broke the Xiqiang. Yongping four years, died.
When Ma Wu was young, he moved to Jiangxia to avoid revenge. In the last years of Wang Mang, the three elders of Jingling and Xiyang raised troops at the county border, and Ma Wu also participated, and later entered the Green Forest Army, so he joined the Han army. He started to stand, with Ma Wu as the squire, and followed Liu Xiu to break Wang Xun in the Kunyang War.
Due to Liu Xiu's growing prestige in Hebei, Emperor Gengshi had doubts about him, so he sent an envoy to appoint Liu Xiu as the king of Xiao, ordered him to withdraw his troops, and returned to Chang'an with the meritorious people among the generals. Another Shang Shu Ling Xie Gong led the six generals to attack Wang Lang, and Ma Wubai was the general of Zhenwei, and Shang Shu Ling Xie Gong attacked Wang Lang together.
Liu Xiu first conquered Handan, and invited Xie Gong and Ma Wu to hold a grand drinking party, trying to kill Xie Gong, but without success.
After the cocktail party, Liu Xiudu and Ma Wu boarded the cong platform and calmly said to Ma Wu: "I got the Yuyang and Shanggu assault cavalry, and I want you to be in command, how about it?" Ma Wu said: I am dull and cowardly, and I have no strategy. "Liu Xiu said: The general has been a general for a long time and has studied military affairs deeply, is it the same as my history?" Ma Wu returned to Liu Xiu in his heart.
After Xie Gong was killed by Wu Han, Ma Wu learned the news and did not go to Wu Han, who was close at hand, but rode a fast horse to shoot dogs to join Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu was very happy to see him, and led him to the left and right, and every time he comforted the generals at the banquet, Ma Wu often got up and considered the front, and Liu Xiu was very happy.
Then Ma Wu led his troops to Ye, Ma Wu kowtowed and said that he was unwilling, saying that he was only willing to follow Liu Xiu's side, and Liu Xiu praised him even more, because Ma Wu followed and attacked the group of thieves.
Among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, Ma Wu was the last to submit to Guangwu.
Liu Xiu attacked Youlai, Wuman, etc., and failed in Shenshui, and Ma Wu Dudian's rear army returned to break through the enemy's position, so the thieves did not dare to catch up.
Entering Anci and Xiaoguangyang, Ma Wu was often the vanguard, fighting forward, and all the generals led the army to accompany him, so he broke through the thieves and chased them to Pinggu County and Junmi County and returned to the division. Liu Xiu ascended the throne, with Ma Wu as the servant, riding the captain, and sealing the mountain as the marquis.
In the fourth year of Jianwu (28 years), he crusaded against Liu Yong with Huya General Gai Yan and others, and Ma Wu attacked Jiyin, captured Chengwu and Chuqiu, and captured the general.
In the fifth year of Jianwu (29 years), Pang Meng rebelled and attacked Taocheng, Ma Wu fought with him first, and broke the Pang army;
In the summer of the sixth year of Jianwu (30 years), he and Geng Yixi, the general of Jianwei, attacked Kui, and the Han army was unfavorable and led the army to Long. Kui Huan chased very urgently, Ma Wuxuan rode back to the army to resist Kui Huan, wearing armor and holding a halberd to attack, killing thousands of people, Kui Huan soldiers retreated, and the army had to return to Chang'an.
In the thirteenth year of Jianwu (37 years), the food was increased, and the marquis was sealed. Led the army to Quyang in the north to guard against the Xiongnu. He was convicted of killing a military official, and accepted the edict to lead his wife and children to the feudal country. Ma Wu went to Luoyang, presented the general's seal, cut 500 households, and was named Li Xuhou, because he stayed in Beijing and was invited by the court.
Liu Xiu later talked with the meritorious princes at the banquet, and said calmly: "If Zhuqing does not encounter such an opportunity, how big an official can you estimate to be?" Deng Yu, the Marquis of Gaomi, replied first, "I studied when I was young, and I can be a doctor of county literature." The emperor said, "How can you speak so modestly? You are the son of the Deng family, and your ambition and behavior are cultivated, why can't you be the meritorious officer of the state and county?" The rest replied one by one, to Ma Wu, and Ma Wu said: "The minister is brave, and he can be a military captain to supervise the thieves." The emperor smiled and said, "Don't be a thief, send it to the pavilion chief yourself, so it's okay." "Ma Wu is a drunken person, broad-minded and dares to tell the truth, at this time he was drunk and folded the princes in front of the emperor, commenting on their strengths and weaknesses, and there was no avoidance of taboos.
The emperor deliberately let him speak, thinking that he was laughing. Although the emperor restricts the heroes, he can always be tolerant and forgive the heroes for their minor mistakes.
The treasures and sweetness contributed from afar must first be given to the princes, but there are very few in the emperor's kitchen. has merit, often increases the reward of the fiefdom, and does not hold an official position, so he can protect his blessings, and there is no one who kills and surrenders.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jianwu (49 years), Ma Wu led the army to attack the Wuling barbarians with Zhonglang general, and immediately presented the seal ribbon when he returned to Beijing.
In the early years of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiqiang invaded Longyou, annihilated the defenders and attacked and killed the generals, and the imperial court was deeply troubled, so he worshiped Ma Wu as the capture general, and took the Zhonglang general Wang Feng as the deputy, and the envoy of the supervising army, Dou Gu, and the right auxiliary lieutenant Chen Li, led the Wuhuan Battalion, the Liyang Battalion, and the Sanfu to recruit soldiers, the Qiang Hu soldiers of the Liangzhou counties and the prisoners who were released from the shackles, a total of 40,000 people attacked it (see the war between the Eastern Han Dynasty and Qiang). When he arrived in Hao County, Jincheng County, he fought with Qiang and beheaded six hundred levels.
He fought again in the Luodu Valley, was defeated by the Qiang soldiers, and died more than 1,000 people. Qiang then led the crowd out of the Saiwai, and Ma Wu pursued to the east and west of Hand, breaking the Qiang soldiers, beheading 4,600 people, capturing 1,600 people alive, and the rest either surrendered or dispersed. Ma Wu reorganized the army and returned to Beijing, increasing the number of food yi by 700, adding up to 1,800 households with the previous food eup......
During the Yongping period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming recalled the heroes and generals who fought the Eastern Han Dynasty with his father, and ordered to paint the portraits of 28 heroes in the Yuntai of Luoyang South Palace, and Ma Wu was among them, and was 11 of the 28 generals of Yuntai.
The reason why Ling Hao chose to send him to infiltrate the Chu State was because his birthplace was relatively close to the Chu king Duyingdu, and he himself was more familiar with the mountains and rivers of the Chu State, and his main task was to map all the major terrains of the Chu State and bring them back to the Qin State.
On the one hand, he can use this as a future for him in the Qin State, and on the other hand, he can also let Ma Wu and these Qin State magnates "touch the bottom" first, if he feels that the other party has someone who can be wooed, he will naturally take it at any cost.
In addition, there is another reason that cannot be said, if you can win the support of some of the Qin magnates, then it is not difficult to encircle and suppress the great master Miao Cheng......
It has not been a day or two since Yongcheng Hou Miaocheng has been so arrogant and domineering in Xianyang, and there are many people who want to deal with him in private, which is related to Miao Cheng's character of retribution.
Since he can think of ruining the Ling family because his cheap father scolded him in private, then the other families naturally dare not offend him, but these families are just under the obscenity of Miao Cheng and dare not resist, as long as he dies...... The Miao family is no more than Erer.
It may be his personality problem, Miao Cheng is in his early forties and has only one son, that is, Miao Yu, who is not in the climate, this guy can't do anything else, and his arrogant and domineering temperament is the same as his father's.
But everyone knows very well in their hearts that this Miao Yu is just a descendant of an unsuccessful instrument, once there is no Miao Cheng's care, these Qin magnates can rub him as much as they want.
Therefore, Ma Wu also has a task, which is to unite the "twenty tribes" of the Qin State to unite and put Miao Cheng to death.
Only when he dies can Qin Guo take a breath, if it weren't for the fact that the Great Grandmaster Qin Yin had been missing for a long time, how could this guy dare to be so arrogant?
The magnates of the Qin State gritted their teeth when they mentioned Miao Cheng, and there was quite a kind of "Great Qin has been suffering from Miao's family for a long time".
Obviously, compared to Miao Cheng, an ordinary great master who has just stepped into the first heaven of gods and demons, he is still the first pillar of Great Qin, Qin Yin, who is more popular.
Obviously, everyone thinks that Miao Cheng is an eyesore, so why don't they go up together and kill him? Oh, it turns out that Qin Yin has been missing for too long, and this guy is so happy with his identity as the "second eldest of Great Qin's combat power".
So the question is, why has Qin Yin disappeared for so long?
The magnates of the Qin State were secretive about this, and did not mention it at all, as if it was a taboo question...... Ling Hao didn't want to ask too much, so he had to ask the secret sentinels all over the countries to inquire more about Qin Yin's whereabouts.
However, no valuable clues were found.
