Chapter 20: Marriage Matters
No one knows what Ma Yue wrote in the letter to Dong Zhuo, only that since a handwritten letter from King Liang in Jizhou was sent to Lintao, Dong Zhongying, who had been idle for a year, repaired his gray beard, took off his cloth clothes, and put on the horse again.
In just ten days, Dong Zhongying's old subordinates gathered soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of soldiers from Bingzhou went south to Sanfu. At the same time, Linjin, Weinan several water villages mobilized warships, these years Liangguo rushed to the warships in a few days to assemble, those lost in the village about to rot the warships rushed out of Weinan, the wind and waves towards the drinking water river forward, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country gathered in the right Fufeng, ready to go south to the Han River.
In fact, Ma Yue's letter to Dong Zhuo was nothing special...... He and Dong Zhuo don't have much to say, it's just that the brother needs help, so he asks the elder brother to go out of the mountain.
A year ago, he lightly took out Dong Zhuo's state pastor, and a year later, he also lightly worshiped the general to teach Dong Zhuo to lead the troops. There is no affection, no words to consider, just a simple ...... Brother help me. Ma Yue knew that if he promised Dong Zhuo any vision after victory, glory and wealth, etc., Dong Zhuo would definitely think it was nonsense.
Before every war, which of them, the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom, shouted in front of the battle with swords in hand, saying that they knew that the war was won, money, treasures, women, official positions, everything...... But as a result, there are only a few people who will capture the flag, and more will be wiped out in the war and turned into dry bones in the grave, who still remembers the grand wish made? Ma Yue knew that he and Dong Zhuo didn't talk about that, they just needed to say that they needed help, and they just had something to say.
This may be a kind of trust in vigilance, he can not hesitate to hand over the power of soldiers and horses to Dong Zhuo, just like being in Zhongshan, Jizhou, casually sending a letter to Lintao, he knows that Dong Zhuo will definitely help him.
Sun Jian swept through the southeast, and the soldiers who stayed in Liangguo were only afraid that no one was his opponent, and Ma Yue knew very well that he could relieve the siege...... Only Dong Zhuo!
Although they left the two generals to play with Han Sui, one of them set foot in the Western Regions and the other stood proudly in the Western Territory, but against Sun Jian? Ma Yue was a little uneasy, there were fewer and fewer old pillars who were famous in the world back then, and now they are all national treasures, to be honest, Ma Yue is reluctant to send them to the battlefield. Moreover...... Dong Zhuo can maintain a defensive position against Sun Jian, right?
Zhongshan Country.
More than 10,000 people of the Liang Kingdom were stationed in Zhongshan with a high profile, and Ma Yue had ordered the soldiers not to affect the lives of the people. In a simple sentence, it has made the people of Zhongshan country have many less unwarranted disasters.
In the era of endless wars, it was the most terrible thing for the people to rebel against the generals. And these most terrible things have long been commonplace in Ma Yue's opinion, not to mention the armies in other places for the time being, in the early years, there was never a shortage of such things as killing good people in Liangzhou. In this day and age, people have no reason to cry at all, and it is exhausting to just survive.
War will make people die, and if you are lucky enough not to starve to death, you may not be able to withstand the harsh weather environment, and you may not be able to withstand the great drought and natural disasters once every three and five years...... In short, for the ancestors, it was difficult to live in the world.
……
The world is in turmoil, and people's hearts are in turmoil.
When life and death become the most important thing in people's hearts, morality no longer takes precedence over life, and force becomes the only truth in the world. The so-called princes are just ordinary people with the most powerful weapons in the world, and the only difference between them and commoners is that they have the power to kill and take the lives of others. These people even grab land, what other good people can be?
What good people can be left behind by the princes of today? A firm and benevolent person like Liu Yu, who lacked some martial arts, died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Gongsun clan; A wise lord like Liu Biao is no match for Sun Jian's blood-stained ancient ingot knife. The remaining princes Cao Cao did not agree with each other and rowed away the land of the Shi clan, Yuan Shao drove the Black Mountain Army to take people's lives, Sun Jian left a lot of white bones all the way, and Ma Yue rode into Yan's Wu alone to snatch his wife and daughter and give it to his subordinates...... There are fewer and fewer good people in the world, but these 'bad people' seem to be more favored by heaven, and they are like emperors in the world.
Liu Xuande, the only person who can be called a good person and is known for his benevolence and righteousness, was appointed as a chief official in various counties in his early years, and he was displaced. As the saying goes, people's hearts can only be vividly manifested when the external conditions are the worst, when Liu Bei is just a plain illusion, because of the words of the Beihai Confucian Kong Rong, he went to the rescue without hesitation, breaking through the tens of thousands of dignified formations in Guanhai, and benevolence and righteousness no longer need to be expressed.
But the most benevolent and righteous person in the world is now just a Jingzhou shepherd, and in the face of Sun Jian, he is still beaten and retreated, and he does not rob the scholars but does not rob them of wealth and land, resulting in a tax deficit in the rich Jingzhou every year, and it is impossible to make ends meet. At first glance, benevolence and righteousness seem to have no meaning in the face of life and death, just as benevolence is no longer needed in this era.
But benevolence and righteousness are never weapons, and whether a person can still stick to the morality in his heart in the face of danger is the real hero.
Maybe Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness have never brought him any substantial benefits, but it really brings something to more people in this world, just because there are people like Liu Bei who survive in the world, and some of the differences it brings. He gave people confidence, made people believe that the Han family was immortal, and taught people to believe that the Han family was immortal.
Zhongshan, Wuji, Zhen's dock back house.
In this era, the Haoqiang clan was accustomed to recruiting homeless people on their own and building dock forts for self-defense. The cities that change the king's banner one after another may not give them much security, and in this regard, the powerful clan does not even need to be a commoner, and the common people need to worry about how to avoid the war in the conquest of various princes to save their lives. But the Hao Qiang clan needs to worry about more than just their lives, because they have more. Having too much is sometimes not a good thing, because if they are not able to protect what they have, then the wealth they have will become a 'masterless thing' that makes all the princes jealous.
This is the same as Zhangjiachuan in the early years, except that Ma's Zhangjiachuan is bigger, stronger and stronger.
The huge and luxurious Zhen's dock fort was built a little uncontrollably, and the dock fort that can accommodate more than 1,000 people is extremely busy today, and the maids are hurriedly preparing a sumptuous banquet, and there is news that the honor guard of His Royal Highness King Liang has entered the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, and it is only half a day away from Wuji. The real King of Liang, the tree is under his rule, from Leping in Jizhou in the east to Wusun in the west...... The simple name of Ma Yue has now been able to be admired by all the people.
The maidservants in the courtyard laughed at each other while washing the freshly picked vegetables, as a way to relieve the gloom that hung over the house.
"Why gloomy? Little brother, you still have to ask the second brother about this. In the side room of the back house, Zhen Yao, the third son of the tall Zhen family, is combing the youngest sister in the bronze mirror, and a pair of distant mountain eyebrows are more and more in the hands of Zhongshan Xiaolian, and the jade eyebrows in the bronze mirror are more and more delicate, and the skin is as white as milk. Zhen Yao's fifth sister is named Zhen Mi, twenty years old, because Yuan Xi died in Luoyang after making a marriage contract with Yuan Xi, others are afraid of Yuan's residual power and dare not marry, and it is also known that Zhen Mi has the ability to be a husband, and he is also a person with a hard life.
Zhen Yao is only twenty years old, half-sibling with Zhen Mi, and only raised filial piety in the county last year, but I don't know what Gongsun Zhanju's filial piety is in Ma Yue.
Hearing the little sister answer the question of why the house is gloomy, Zhen Yao also sank his face, the little sister is too kind, but he knows that his brother is speculating everywhere for the sake of the clan, and he doesn't care about the life or death of his relatives at all, so he pouted and said, "Ask the second brother?" It's better not to ask! The first to take refuge in Han Fu, when we were still young, after Han Fu lost power, he took refuge in Yuan Shao, others always have to remember some old feelings, you know best how the Yuan family treated our little sister back then, but now the brother has taken refuge in Ma Yue, and invited the enemy to the house! Little sister, you see that today, Brother Ma crossed the mansion, and he will give the barbarian of the Liang Kingdom a good face! ”
"Brother, don't say that, people are the King of Liang." The eyebrows were almost drawn, Zhen Mi glanced at the bronze mirror, turned around and smiled: "In the end, it is an elder, brother, you must always respect it!" Don't say that and bring disaster to your clan. ”
Zhen Mi, a woman who is different from others, has not studied female popularity since she was a child, likes to read, and was ridiculed by her brother when she was young to grow up to be a female doctor, but the young Zhen Mi said that in ancient times, virtuous women had to learn from the experience of their predecessors from books, so as to understand the reason, what to learn from if they didn't read? Speaking of which, Zhen Mi is afraid that a girl's family reads a lot more books than the clan brothers.
Zhen Yao turned his face and stopped talking. Zhen Mi got up and straightened her clothes, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, have you ever seen someone from Liangzhou?" Since the return of the King of Liang, there has been no trace of the Liangzhou people in the Central Plains, and the Liangzhou people who listened to the description of the outer courtyard in their spare time are all blue-faced and fanged. ”
King Liang returned, the emperor issued an edict, the Liang Kingdom was established, and the Central Plains naturally lost the traces of the Liangzhou people.
"How is it possible, the people of Liangzhou look no different from us, but they were born in that place, there are few scribes, the land is barren and there are many wars, and people are vying to practice martial arts......" Before Zhen Yao finished speaking, he heard the maid washing vegetables outside the window laughing: "Eh, do you think the head of the family will give Miss to the people of Liangguo this time?" ”
Miss, is it allowed to the people of Liangguo?
Can be called a young lady in Zhen's Wu...... Only Zhen Mi is gone.
Hearing this, Zhen Yao looked at Zhen Mi with a grim face, and Zhen Mi also had a look on his face as if he had been struck by lightning.
The marriage that was destroyed by the chaos in Luoyang came to his heart like a tide of memories, and Zhen Mi's eyebrows and eyes became extremely aggrieved in an instant, and he looked at the little brother helplessly.
Marriage Events...... It will always be a sore spot in Zhen Mi's heart.
