At noon on the third day of the pacification of Wang Du, Ma Yue strolled through the city and knocked on the door of Cheng Li's house.

He wanted Cheng's master to follow, but there was no so-called kingly spirit, Cheng Li didn't go to him for three days, Cheng Wu didn't come to tell him that he wanted to join the army or politics, until now Ma Yue is about to leave Dong'e, and he plans to try his luck again. He wanted to try it whether it was successful or not.

There is no shortage of brave generals around Ma Yue who can fight well from beginning to end, but there are too few resourceful people in Liangzhou, and the one he can name is Li Ru, who is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and it is impossible for him to let his father-in-law run to help him. A Jia Xu still doesn't know where to drill in which corner, he can't even touch the shadow. The time spent in Luoyang is not short, but Cao Cao is the only one who can be called a wise man and is willing to take care of him.

That's Cao Mengde, even if he is now equal to Cao Cao's official position, he has never swelled to the point that he thinks he can take Cao Mengde under his command, it's just a joke, the descendants of the third prince have more than 100 million yuan, except for the fact that he is not as good-looking as Ma Yue, and his martial arts are slightly worse than Ma Yue, and he has exploded himself in all other aspects, and Ma Yue will definitely not find himself bored.

Cheng Wu, the father and son of the Cheng family, are brave and strategic, and they are as young as Yan Xing, they are all materials that can be made, and they only need to go through repeated wars to be able to take charge of themselves. Cheng Li's old age and ability to go into battle with a knife may be gone, but this logistics ability alone is worthy of the word 'great talent' in Ma Yue's opinion, not to mention being able to teach a son like Cheng Wu.

Whether he is the Cheng Yu in history or not, Ma Yue is willing to go to solicit with a shy face.

Cheng Li's door is not big, the threshold is not high, just the appearance of an ordinary scholar, Ma Yue waited for only a moment, the door opened, revealing Cheng Wu's smiling face: "Brother Captain is really here." ”

"Sure enough? Could it be that you still know that something is going to come? Ma Yue smiled: "Ling Zun can be at home?" ”

"It's not that I know, it's my father's guess." Cheng Wu smiled embarrassedly and said: "Father went out after breakfast today, and before leaving, he said that maybe the captain would come to visit, and if you come to find Father, you can go to the city to find him." ”

"Master Cheng knows I'll come?" Ma Yue muttered and said, "Okay, then go to the city to find Lingzun, do you want to go over together?" Ma Yue smiled: "After receiving the reward, you haven't told someone that you want to join the army or politics?" ”

"Brother Captain, I won't go." Cheng Wu lowered his head and paused, then raised his head and said to Ma Yue: "Xiaomin is also willing to join the Changshui camp as a pawn and make meritorious contributions, captain, you don't have to convince Xiaomin, just say that you can move your father...... It's just that the school captain has a lot of relationship with the eunuchs in the court, and Xiaomin and his father both know that the school captain is not such a good person, but when his father was young, he lost his heart because of the eunuch. ”

"It is not easy for the captain to persuade my father...... Take care of the captain. ”

After Changshui Camp Pingdong Awangdu, he rested outside the city for three days, and the soldiers were relaxed during these three days, but they were tired of the people in the city and Ma Yue and others.

The report of the First Battle of Dong'a passed through the hands of Li Jian, and he sent an envoy and a hundred foot soldiers to Luoyang the next day, and sent back treasures worth thousands of gold. But let the Fan family and the Xue family bleed a lot, Ma Yue knew that Liu Hong was greedy for money, and he had this daughter to send back, thinking that His Majesty would not cure his own crime of expanding the army without authorization, and he could also calm down the resentment brought to Liu Hong by becoming a lieutenant without paying the official money.

He is also Liu Hong's person, and winning the battle can highlight Liu Hong's wisdom and win glory for His Majesty.

But in this way, he offended the local surname of Dong'e County, Fan's lost money and didn't fall well, Ma Yue didn't want to mend the relationship with Fan for a while, he didn't like Fan, as the county commander abandoned the city and fled, Fan Ci also dared to rely on the old man to open his mouth to question Yang Feng's words, which made him unhappy, so the war report did not mention anything about Fan.

Ano, the county magistrate who mentioned their family abandoned the city and fled.

For the Xue family, Ma Yue still has a good impression of Xue Zhi, at least as a gongcao, he can protect the people even if he can't resist the enemy, so Ma Yue brought a letter from home in the war report, sent it to Liang Hu in Luoyang, and recommended him to be the commander of Dong'e County. A drink and a peck, which can be regarded as giving Xue a statement.

At this time, Ma Yue already knew that Cheng Wu's father's name was Cheng Li, and he felt that this Cheng Li should be Cheng Yu, but he also had some doubts in his heart, is Cheng Yu so old? His sons are about the same age as himself.

In short, in the past three days, Ma Yue was busy resting and recuperating the soldiers and horses, and the people in the county were not easy, so they made more than 10,000 arrows for the sergeants of the Changshui Battalion in three days, and repaired the armor and sharpened the weapons, and built a ferry for the Changshui Battalion to go north. There are only about 10,000 people in the city, and almost all of them are craftsmen.

In the past few days, people from the north bank of Luoshui have fled with their families and mouths, bringing panic and news of themselves.

Bu Ji, Qu Shuai, who is entrenched in Dongjun, is also the target of Ma Yue's counterinsurgency in Dongjun.

……

Under the watchtower in the northwest corner of Dong'e County, Ma Yue saw Cheng Li. The old man stood in the wind in the city in a single robe, and his posture was upright.

"Master Cheng."

Ma Yue wanted to say a lot of things, how to persuade Cheng Li to follow him, but when he really stood in front of Cheng Li, he just opened his mouth, standing beside Cheng Li and leaning against the female wall.

Under the city was his camp, and the soldiers burned the corpses of the dead robes and yellow turbans, and the ashes were piled up into two mountain bags, and a one-man tall stone tablet was erected on the bone mound of the Han army, engraved with everyone's name.

"The captain is here."

Cheng Li saw that it was Ma Yue, and he didn't say anything, everyone in Dong'e County, from the big surname to the common people, was respectful to Ma Yue, and everyone knew that this young captain had a bright future in military power. Cheng Li is also average, and he is just as respectful.

"Although the captain distributed the war profits this time and gave a lot of money to the people, those money and jewels are all from the big surnames in the county, and the people don't have much, so the captain knows about it, right?"

"Yes." Ma Yue nodded, a fool can guess that there are only a few hundred households in this Dong'e County, and they can have 5,000 gold family wealth?

"The captain is about to leave soon, no matter whether the people in Dong'e County are still living like before, what can these little favors of the captain change?"

"I don't know." Ma Yue propped his hands on the battlements and looked into the distance, he said: "Now that the Yellow Turbans are making a lot of trouble in the states, the people are displaced, and everyone can do too little. But because I led my troops to fight the thieves, tens of thousands of people in various counties were no longer displaced. The small favor mentioned by the master is a great good deed in Ma Yue's view, and the people believe in the imperial court, but it is difficult to live in the world before they join the Yellow Turban, and the money distributed to the people is not much, but it is enough for them to rebuild their lives. Everyone's ability is big or small, but if everyone does what they can do, the world will definitely get better, right? ”
