Chapter 65: The Scarlet Palace Feast

A group of Liangzhou barbarians are on the rise, and the lobby is full of alcohol. The dancers have dispersed, the sheng players have been sent out of the palace, and today's auxiliary general's palace does not hesitate to make the lamp burn all night!

The three brothers of the Ma family sat at the top of the hall, and no one in the armor army had a high status as these young masters, the nephews of the four auxiliary generals, and they were also strong in martial arts, and these fighting men were very convincing. Ma Chao is not there, Ma Dai is the boss, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu are sitting left and right, the three brothers are drunk, while shouting that they will make contributions to their uncle again in the coming year, and on the other hand, they will smash the wine vessel in their hands to the sky.

Next to the three brothers are the juniors of Wan Ning and Guan Ping. Guan Yu sits in Sanfu, but he also puts his eldest son next to Ma Yue to experience, in fact, what can he experience by following these Liangzhou majors? Everyone let him protect him, it is the brothers of the Ma family, who doesn't know that Guan Yu and Yan Xing are the right-hand men of his uncle Ma Yue, who dares to bully the juniors of their family?

Coming down from the top seat, Xu Huang, Peng Shi and a few veterans who followed Ma Yue around the battlefield got together to drink, and they had been away from home for many years...... Even if they are all in their hometown, and even if they have lived in Liangzhou for several years, their lives have been inseparable from roast sheep and horses, but at this time, they still miss their hometown very much.

What a joyous moment it should have been?

Following the general of the auxiliary country to fight for several years, begging for the Yellow Turban, pacifying the chaos, defeating Yuan Shao, attacking Montenegro, and General Gongwei entering Luoyang, it is a good season to return to his hometown!

The little scribe of the five big and three thick in Hedong County has now become a general who commands thousands of horses. The water bandits on both sides of the Yangtze River who are making waves are now also worthy of the official position of 2,000 stone in the court...... has come to this point with the horse, and everything that has been thought of is already at your fingertips. Ten years ago, who of them could have believed that they were like this today?

Peng Shi looked back at the Ma descendants who were sitting on the high platform, with a meaningful smile on his face, shook his head and poured wine for Xu Huang, touched the wine bowl by himself, and didn't care whether Xu Huang drank it or not, sighed and said: "Look, how excited the little descendants are, and the indispensable achievements in their heads, but for Gan, looking back on these years, it is just endless sighs." ”

Although he is also in the army, Xu Huang has never looked at Gan Ning very well, and he doesn't even have a good face for Peng Shi, but today he drank alcohol on a few cases because of his feelings...... It was impossible for Peng Shi to go to the corner to drink with those Liangzhou big-headed soldiers, and neither could he, so he could only drink face to face on these several cases.

It's all mutual, Gan Ning doesn't like Xu Huang to have rules and regulations, and Xu Huang doesn't like Gan Ning's violent temperament, so although the two have been robed for several years, they have never sat together and drunk in private.

Peng Shi and Gan Ning are like brothers, and they are general thoughts.

But at this time, listening to Peng Shi's emotion, Xu Huang didn't speak, sighed and drank all the wine in the bowl...... Peng Shi said it well, isn't it just endless sighs.

After a glass of wine, it seemed that the solidified relationship between the two had eased a lot, Xu Huang shook his head and said: "What else, when the general of the auxiliary country enters the court, I will ask for the garrison in Hedong, and I can also go back to my hometown to have a look." What are Brother Xingba's plans? ”

"Plans? What can you plan, take it one step at a time. Peng Shi is a homeless person, otherwise he would not have run to the Yangtze River to establish a prestige, he stretched out his hand and smiled: "The auxiliary general is the master of the court, we are just afraid that we will not be idle, and there is a tiger in the south who is not convinced, waiting to be cleaned up." ”

The tiger in the south is not the Sun family of Jiangdong!

Suddenly, a terrible shout sounded in the palace of the auxiliary general in Luoyang City, and the relatives of the general's mansion quickly rushed into the official residence, tripped on the threshold and crawled into the hall.

"Major General, it's not good!"

There are four in Liangzhou, no, five major generals. One of them was still in infancy, and Ma Chao was acting as Ma Yue's bodyguard in the palace, and there were three major generals in the hall at the moment. Ma Dai raised his hand and said to the panicked servant: "Let's drink the warm soup first, don't worry." ”

'Smack! The wine bowl was thrown to the ground by Ma Tie, and he pointed at the servant and shouted angrily, "Don't you see that my three brothers are drinking?" What the hell is called! ”

It was Ma Xiu, who was born as a sister-in-law, raised his hand to stop Ma Tie, who was furious, and asked the servant with a frown: "What's wrong, but the palace has changed?" ”

The messenger finally took a breath, and then thanked Ma Dai, and then replied: "It's not the palace, it's the Xiliang garrison that is in chaos, Cheng Duwei and Captain Han are in a nest, and the soldiers of the Xuzhou garrison are fighting!" ”

"Xuzhou Daying? We Liangzhou and Xuzhou have no grievances in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why do we want to fight with them? Ma Dai looked at the cool man who was about to move below and frowned and shouted: "Don't be impulsive, have you forgotten what the general said before going to the banquet?" The sky is falling, and no one in the house can go out! Everything will wait for him to come back. Tell me, Uncle Cheng and Captain Han, what about Uncle Hou? ”

The congregation had already brought a crying voice, pointed to the direction of the Xuzhou army garrison and said: "Hou Duwei was killed by their Xuzhou people!" ”

"What!"

"Too much deception!"

The voice that almost lifted up the hall exploded after hearing the news of the candidate's death, and in the surging crowd, Ma Dai's calm face was highlighted.

The days when he was a man in Luoyang and the experience of being captured by Yuan Shu after attacking Yizhou made Ma Dai grow up rapidly, and in terms of heart, even Ma Chao, who was one year older, could not compare to him. At first glance, when he heard the news of the candidate's death, not to mention Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, even Xu Huang Peng Shi was a little stunned...... Who would have imagined that when the auxiliary generals were in full swing now, someone ate the bear's heart and the leopard dared to kill the lieutenant of Liangzhou?

"Get back, sit down!" Looking at the messy lobby, some drunks got up and put on armor and held knives, and some people slipped out of the mansion to lead the horses, Ma Dai's face was pale and slapped a palm on a few cases, and there was really a bit of the majesty of the master of the Ma family in the angry shouting, pointing at the people in the hall and scolding: "Look at your virtue, can you win if you go like this?" ”

"Xiu'er, you go to the Xuzhou garrison quickly, stop Uncle Cheng's army, return to the Liangzhou garrison first, and talk about it tomorrow if there is something." But in a moment, Ma Dai found the crux of the problem, Liangzhou has died a lieutenant, the matter is very big, and he can no longer continue to let the development of the situation get out of control, Ma Dai raised his finger and said to Ma Xiu: "Tell Uncle Cheng that since the people of Xuzhou killed Uncle Hou, none of them want to run, they all have to take their lives to pay back...... But not tonight, remember, not tonight! ”

Tonight's time is too special, all the soldiers and horses were invited to the palace for a banquet by the emperor, almost all the armies lack the real backbone, but Xuzhou provoked a war at this time.

Pointing directly to Liangzhou, is it chaotic so that their masters can touch the fish? Ma Dai didn't believe that the other party's purpose was just like this, which was absolutely not enough...... It is very likely that the other party's purpose is to send out his direct troops and horses as an auxiliary general to kill several state and county magistrates to discredit his uncle's reputation.

When you think about it, things are much easier to solve.

"Everyone sat down for me, and the big thing has to wait for my uncle to come back and preside over the overall situation, and no one can act on his own." The people of Liangzhou did not take revenge overnight, although Ma Dai's chest was also in general grief, but he still had to pick up the wine bottle and say to everyone: "Respect Uncle Hou's spirit in the sky!" ”

Ma Dai grabbed his brother and whispered, so that Ma Xiu understood the priority of the matter, and hurriedly led the horse out of the mansion and rushed straight to the Xuzhou army station. At this time, there is no need to distinguish the direction at all, and when you look up, you can go wherever the fire is blazing.

But Ma Dai didn't know that just as he opened the door and left the house, several young people hiding on the corner of the street showed a look of chagrin on their faces, and Wei Yuanjin said: "The children of the Ma family are really calm, and they still don't lead the troops to the battle after they are like this?" ”

"It seems that there are many rumors that are untrue, and the people of Liangzhou may not be fierce and unwise, at least Ma Junhao's juniors are quite calm." Lu Weihuang looked around and said to Han Juzi: "This kid must be going to rest the army, Brother Han is excellent in archery, it's up to you." ”

Han Juzi didn't say much, he didn't lead the horse with a big crossbow, and he opened his legs and chased after Ma Dai who galloped out.

Looking at the back of the horse and leaving one step at a time, Lu Weihuang looked at Wei Yuanjin and said: "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, if the Liangzhou army in the general's mansion is not dispatched, then there is nothing we can do...... Alas, leave it to fate. ”

Not long after, Ma Xiu had already galloped to the Xuzhou army station, looking at the chaotic battlefield, at a glance he saw Cheng Yin and Han Sui and others sitting on high horses, Liangzhou soldiers and horses have attacked the Xuzhou garrison at this moment, the camp gate has been broken, the combat power of the Danyang soldiers is still worse than the Xiliang army, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Cheng, Captain Han, quickly retreat!" ”

"Hey, why is Hugh here?" Cheng Yin glanced at Han Sui puzzled, Han Sui didn't know what was going on, in his imagination, it was very likely that the soldiers and horses of the General's Mansion would pour out, but why was Ma Xiu alone? "Hugh Er, come here, don't be hurt by the stray arrow."

"It was Brother Bozhan who called me here, and the elder brother said that the people of Xuzhou killed Uncle Hou, and none of them could escape, but their death date is not today." Ma Xiu took two breaths, and hurriedly said to Cheng Yin: "Uncle, quickly let our people withdraw and return to the garrison to guard the camp gate, Brother Bozhan thinks that this is someone else's strategy, that is, to make Luoyang chaos and hinder uncle." ”

Han Sui looked sideways, the second of the three Ma brothers with the least bright mind gave birth to a good son, not to mention whether it was groundless and worried about the plan, but the hand of calling Ma Xiu to mediate the war is enough to show his resourcefulness. Ma Xiu is Ma Teng's sister-in-law, the old brothers in Liangzhou all take Ma Teng as their elder brother, this kid is a real major general in Liangzhou, and these generals naturally have to listen to him.

However, before he could speak, there was a loud chord in the distance, which was a sound that could be heard so far in the dark night by a crossbow with a strength of more than six stones, and it could still make people's hairs explode in the noisy battlefield.

The stray arrows shattered the armor on Mathew's chest like black light.

This is not a prelude to staying in the court, this is a bloody palace banquet!
