In the summer of the first year of Zhongping, the eventful autumn, the Yellow Turban Uprising in the eight states of the world turned the world upside down, the Han army used all its efforts to pacify Yingchuan, and there were still large army rebellions in the south such as Nanyang and Wancheng. The three brothers of the Zhang family of the Yellow Turban Party were located in Jizhou and the Han Dynasty were far away, and in Ba County, Yizhou, Zhang Xiu, the five rice divisions, responded to Zhang Jiao and also rebelled with Taoism. The Karasuma people of Youzhou constantly had small forces fighting fiercely with Gongsun Chan in the easternmost part of the empire. The Southern Xiongnu settlements in Bingzhou were about to move, which made the high-ranking and powerful Niu Fu under Dong Zhuo busy. Beneath the seemingly calm exterior of Liangzhou, a huge storm is also brewing.

It's so lively.

The Han Army's Jizhou battalion, Changshui Captain's Department, Guan Yu returned the captain's seal, and stood in the tent in the costume of Sima from other departments, reporting the situation in the camp for Ma Yue, Ma Yue, who was sitting at the top, frowned, and bent his fingers to knock on a few cases.

"Why is the lord worried, the food can't be improved, the soldiers of the five battalions are like this......"

"Ahh Ma Yue suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand, rubbed his temples and smiled apologetically at Guan Yu: "Yun Chang has done a good job, the letter of appointment from Sima of the other department has come down, right?" ”

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for the recommendation." ”

"The big war is coming, kill the generals and capture the flag, and make meritorious deeds." Ma Yue smiled and encouraged: "When the victory returns, I will celebrate Yun Chang again!" ”

"Today, when the army first arrived in Jizhou, the army waited for the soldiers and horses under its command, each performing its own duties, taking turns to be on duty at night, to prevent the yellow turban from stealing the camp."

After Guan Yu and the others retreated, Ma Yue fell into contemplation again, and he recalled the scene when he entered the camp during the day, and the expressions and words of several of them.

The people involved include Cao Cao, Jian Shuo, Ma Riyan, Bao Hong, Cao Poshi and others.

In the march, the Changshui battalion was located in the rear of the queue, so the camp time was late, and the people around Ma Yue at that time included Jian Shuo and other supervising troops in addition to his subordinates, and at the gate of the camp stood Guan Yu, Cao Cao and other vanguard generals who arrived in Jizhou first and Cao Poshi and others on the northern line to welcome the army into the camp. Far away, Ma Yue, who was riding on a horse, saw everyone at the camp gate, and Cao Cao even walked out of the camp gate to meet him.

Cao Cao and Ma Yue had a close personal relationship, which was not a new thing in Luoyang, and everyone in the entire court knew about it.

Ma Yue also jumped off the horse and walked towards Cao Cao, at this time, Jian Shuo, who had just dismounted next to him, patted Ma Yue's arm affectionately, and said a word to Ma Yue, Jian Shuo's words reached his heart, smiled and patted Jian Shuo's shoulder, and then, he saw Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and stopped.

Jian Shuo immediately walked towards Cao Poshi, Cao Cao ignored the enthusiastic Ma Yue and only nodded, and then the two passed by, and Cao Cao greeted the general behind him.

At that time, Ma Yue didn't have time to say anything, so he was taken over by Cao Poshi and was very affectionate, and then he approached Ma Riyan to greet everyone and didn't care about Cao Cao.

Looking back now, Ma Yue felt that he had been tricked by Jian Shuo, but he couldn't blame Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo has a grudge against Cao Cao, and he is good friends with Cao Cao, and he has a good relationship with Jian Shuo, but he usually respects each other and has never had any intimate actions.

When Cao Cao was the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, he killed Jian Shuo's uncle in order to establish his might. This matter was dressed in a boiling manner back then, but Ma Yue was still chopping wood in Zhangshan in Liangzhou at that time, and there was no way to know, but later Cao Cao mentioned this matter when he was drinking with Cao Cao in Liang Mansion, and at that time he also listed the official promotion history of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yang Biao and others, in order to make himself understand the importance of his background and how to seek promotion for himself in the current background.

The young Cao Cao is a good big brother to Ma Yue.

Jian Shuo separated himself from Cao Cao, and he was talking about seeking a good background.

Standing in front of the camp gate, Jian Shuo patted Ma Yue's shoulder cordially, and said in Ma Yue's ear with a smile: I heard that Mrs. Ma, the wife of Taifu Yuan Kui, is seriously ill, and after this last battle with Zhang Jiao, Brother Ma can go to visit, and I can't let you log in to the Ma clan genealogy.

Jian Shuo's news is very valuable, Ma Yue's expression at that time was first surprised, and then he smiled, and getting Ma's approval is a great thing for Ma Yue.

Now he was a little disgusted with Jian Shuo, but he was also puzzled by Cao Cao.

But who can he tell about this kind of thing?

Surrounded by martial artists and subordinates, Ma Yue shook his head, he was embarrassed to speak. What's more, this kind of thing must not be asked to Cheng Li, Cheng Li's experience has given him enough reason to dislike eunuchs. Even if this Cheng Li beside him has the resourcefulness of Cheng Yu in history, it will inevitably involve personal grievances.

What's more, the current Cheng Li does not have those experiences in history, nor does he have any worries for him and Ma San'er to go to the soup and fire.

Cheng Li is an elder who is willing to help him, and a wise and calculating logistics officer.

There are many reasons in this matter that he can't say, and he believes in himself more than trusting Cheng Li.

After several years of life and death, he is no longer the innocent child who chops firewood in Zhangshan. At least now, he has the capital to be able to leave his name in history books, and he has the confidence to compete with those who have left his name in history. For example, horse play, such as Beigong Boyu, such as Bu Ji......

"It seems that they are all out of the stream."

Ma Yue stretched out his fingers to grind the tip of his nose and smiled self-deprecatingly.

His eyes were fixed on a horsewhip on several cases, all black, which was the whip of his beloved Liangzhou horse.

Jian Shuo represents the eunuch, represents the emperor's eyes and ears, Ma Yue doesn't care about Jian Shuo, what he cares about is the emperor behind them who has lost his wife like himself, the emperor doesn't go out, the eunuch is his eyes, his ears, everything in the world is out of their mouth into Liu Hong's ears, they are the well-deserved weather vane in this world, who they want, who will be added to the knighthood, they don't want who is good, who is like a rusty night pot.

They can confuse the public by turning black and white upside down, and they can point to a deer as a horse and close their eyes and ears.

As long as they want.

Ma Yue has always been very scared, kissing him and loving his eldest brother, who had made him die in his life, may tear up the flag and rebel at any time in his remote hometown, like a big bomb buried in Liangzhou. He didn't want to die, he didn't want to rebel, he always had a longing in his heart, longing that in a critical moment, these friendly eunuchs could speak for him, save his life in front of the emperor, save his hard-won opportunity, and seek greater power.

Cao Cao represents the only point of goodwill and clear stream, and although this point itself is turbid, it is the clearest one he can touch. Emotionally speaking, Cao Cao is his first choice, but from the heart, Cao Cao is also his last choice.

Brother Mengde, who is cynical but familiar with military books, good at power and scheming but sincere, represents a future regime. Ma Yue didn't know what his path would be like in the future, but whenever he wanted to give Cao Cao a sincere smile, there was always a voice in his heart that spoke.

"You're not as good as Mengde, and you don't want to admit it. It's called jealousy. ”

Suddenly, Ma Yue's tent was opened, and Guan Yu leaned on the door frame and moved into the tent with his head slightly bowed.

"Saburo, something...... Have a bone in one's throat. ”
