Ma Qing and Dong Yu walked out of the middle hall of the Mi Mansion, Dong Yu swaggered away from the servants who stopped at the door, and walked all the way to the Mi Clan's courtyard where the two lived temporarily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Playing majestic always makes people feel refreshed.

But after the majesty is over, the two brothers have to think carefully about what to do next.

At the moment, Mi's idea is very important, but if this can't affect Mi's, Ma Qing thinks that he has no other better way, so he can only go deep into the danger non-stop, walk from the battlefield of Xuzhou to the battlefield of Yuzhou, and pull the soldiers and horses of his second brother Ma Dai from Yuzhou to compete with Sun Ce.

The crux of the matter now lies in what the Mi brothers themselves think.

The wind in Xuzhou became cold, and the familiarity in the depths of his memory told Ma Qing that it would not be long before the first heavy snow would fall in the north.

After that, it was difficult to move an inch north of the Yellow River, and heavy snow closed the mountains to the west of Sanfu.

This is the first time he has spent the New Year outside Longdu, and he knows that he is very likely to become a pair of difficult brothers with Dong Yu, and send people to spend the New Year in Xiapi Country this winter.

At night, Ma Qing stared at the starry night sky in a daze, recalling the distant but familiar people and things in Longdu silently.

At night, the Mi brothers knelt on the couch with candles and knew each other without saying anything about the delicious but cold and hot dishes.

Most of the businessmen are profit-oriented, even if the Mi brothers have a family fortune of more than 100 million.

If you want to be a businessman, and be a good businessman, you must develop a mindset in your mind that is suitable for businessmen...... This is absolutely different from the peasants who have their backs burning in the sky, and they are also different from the righteous scholars.

If you say, a gentleman can be bullied...... Merchants can be tempted to take advantage.

The meeting of swords and soldiers at the dinner is definitely not pleasant, but for the Mi brothers, it is not unpleasant.

Because compared to what the two of them did, Ma Qing and Dong Yu were the ones who were excessive. Where would anyone be a guest in someone else's mansion and put an arc knife on the master's neck, so that the wine bottles were spilled on the ground?

At least, Mi Zhu thinks Ma Qing is right, "We should really reconsider how to get along with Liangguo." ”

"Big brother, whether it is Ma Yue or Sun Jian, they are not good people! What do you think of the son of the Liang Kingdom? In the lobby of my house, I put a knife on my brother's neck...... is still so arrogant and domineering in other people's land, you can imagine what kind of face he has in the territory of Liangguo! Speaking of Ma Qing and Dong Yu, Mi Fang's words couldn't stop, and he pointed out the door with his sleeves and said: "It's really the world, you see that the temperament of the son of a country today is still inferior to the son of the envoy in the past!" ”

Compared with his brother's anger, Mi Zhu had a different opinion, his arm propped up on several cases, pointed to his head and knocked twice, suddenly smiled, and said to his brother: "You are wrong." ”

"The Ma clan is not a scholar clan, how can they be the same as Tao Yuanjun's son in terms of bearing, and the sword soldiers are the life of the Ma clan, isn't this in line with their temperament?" Mi Zhu smiled and said: "Zifang, have you thought about it, if this world, people in the world no longer look at Shang Jia with disdain, how much will it change our lives?" ”

"Don't despise merchants? Brother, don't make trouble, have you forgotten that when we were children, we were chased and beaten by a group of martial arts sons in the streets and alleys? Mi Fang finally felt hungry, put a piece of raw fish in his mouth, he never ate cold things, and the dishes on the table were only left with fish and raw fish for him, and he drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Brother, you provide food and grass for the Xuzhou army, and you have consumed a lot of resources all year round in exchange for the position you are engaged in, isn't it just to let people look up to our family, hum, those people." ”

"Haha, yes, brother Wei still remembers that when you were a child, you always went to challenge the strongest children on the street, and every time I took the guards who traveled from south to north to avenge you...... Once, we actually beat the second nephew of a Xuzhou military marquis to the point of bleeding! Mi Zhu said that his face was full of energy when he was young, but then he said with a haze: "It is precisely because of that time that you were stripped of your clothes by those big old leathers, hung on the gate and whipped all over your body. ”

"That's worth it! At that time, I didn't scream when I was beaten, no matter how painful it was, I kept gritting my teeth and holding on, constantly thinking about how I could break the bridge of the fat boy's nose with one punch. You know, brother, that's when I told myself! Mi Fang pointed to a few cases and said: "At that time, I told myself that even if I was killed, I would not be afraid!" I just want those who have bullied me to come back, and no one can underestimate me! Even if you are like a dog, you have to bite down on the meat if you are killed! ”

Mi Zhu slowly took a sip of wine, nodded his head slowly, and said solemnly when the wine was in his mouth: "I heard that Zhang Shiping, a merchant in Zhongshan, is a captain in charge of the Western Regions in Liangguo, and is in charge of all the caravans in Liangguo to circulate north and south; The craftsman general Liu Bad, who was a stonemason in charge of the stone library when he was in the imperial court, is still doing these things today, but he is comparable to the general as a craftsman; There are also medical craftsmen Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, who taught two thousand stones in the Longdu Academy in Liangguo...... King Liang attaches great importance to them, this is not the bearing that Takeo can have. ”

"I also know, but have you thought about it, brother, what they do in Liangguo is not a small business or a big business." Mi Fang suddenly bowed down cautiously, looked left and right before whispering: "Change the dynasty!" This is a rebellion! Big thing. Brother really wants the nearly 100,000 people of the Mi family to devote themselves to it? ”

"I don't know, like you said, it's too big...... Alas, although it is said that it is rich and dangerous. Mi Zhu sighed, "You also know that most of the businessmen who often join the princes do not end well, just like Chen Liuweizi funded Cao Mengde, and Liu Yuanqi of Zhuojun helped Liu Xuande, they are just the money bags of those who do great things, and after using them, they don't know where they will be thrown away, who knows what will happen if they join the Liang Kingdom." ”

"The Ma clan wants to change the dynasty, but I am afraid that the people have long been accustomed to the Han Dynasty, and the south has long lived under the rule of the Sun clan, and it is difficult to identify and unify, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky!" Mi Fang somehow thought about Liangguo, and after thinking about it for a moment, she felt that the future was not bright, and waved her hand and said: "I'm afraid it's already very difficult to divide the north and the south." ”

"Hey, people will worry about rain and snow, they will care about cloudy and sunny days, they will even worry about whether this year's harvest will feed their children, and they will worry about whether the war will destroy their homes and cause them to lose their lives...... But brother, trust me. Mi Zhu had a chic smile on his face, which contained ridicule for the people of Li, including himself, "No one will care who sleeps on the dragon couch in Luodu!" ”

"The experience and knowledge of the people are incomparable to those big people, they have had a generation of Ming monarchs and mediocre lords, and no one cares whether the king relies on killing or bloodline to ascend the throne...... As long as he can feed people, it doesn't matter if he's a spirit! ”

Mi Fang was in a fog with his brother's remarks to the people, and he obviously knew that this was wrong, how could an emperor who was not recognized by the people be an emperor? But thinking about it, it seems that there are indeed a few truths, and the people really don't care who is the emperor in their hearts...... As long as he can bring peace and happiness to the people, who cares what his origin is and what his surname is?

"What do you think you should do, brother? I mean, you can't help you, you know more than I do, so I'll listen to you about this matter. Mi Fang took a sip of wine, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "In the water and in the fire, you are all brothers, I will definitely follow your choice, you have the final say." ”

"Since you say so, go and prepare a generous gift...... It is estimated that Ma's son will not stay in Xiapi for too long, and tomorrow you and I will go together to apologize to him. Mi Zhu nodded and said, "In the days to come, the Mi army will go to the battlefield, so let's prepare to reorganize the army." ”

Late at night, Mi Fang walked for a long time, Mi Zhu paced in the empty courtyard, but never refused to enter the bedroom.

He didn't know if he was right to do this, if the Mi clan's sixty or seventy thousand servants were tied to the battlefield of the Ma clan, at least an army of more than thirty thousand people would come out...... It was the dowry that his brother had originally prepared for his sister.

That's it, for the sake of the clan to all ride on the chariot of the Ma clan?

……

Ma Qing stayed in Xiapi Kingdom for the whole winter, discussing world affairs with Dong Yu in a warm house with a fire, and even rode a horse into the mountains to hunt twice in the snow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he forgot far away about the deployment of the six cities of Xiapi and the state of the soldiers. And the soldiers under his command, in addition to the 100 people who are stationed on his side to protect the safety, are all divided into small groups to mix out of Xiapi, and explore the war situation and the general trend of the world in Yuzhou, Liangguo and Xuzhou.

However, it may be because of the winter, the princes of all parts of the country have died down, only the distant annexed state, Xianping County Taishou Yang Feng led an army to surprise attack the Zhang Liao department celebrating the victory of the year, snatched their city, captured the camp, and even dragged down this army from the imperial court in the cold Bingzhou field as if not afraid of wind and snow.

By the last battle between the two sides, only 200 soldiers and horses of the imperial court fled in the direction of Hedong County.

According to rumors, the soldiers and horses of Xianping County are not elite, except for the sneak attack to seize the city and attack the camp, they were still almost defeated by the charge of the imperial soldiers and horses in the frontal battle when they were twice the number of the enemy army, but they were not afraid of the cold.

On the other hand, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court did not have indoor stoves, and two-thirds of the soldiers and horses died of hunger and cold.

At the beginning of spring, Ma Qing took Dong Yu and five hundred sergeants to say goodbye to the Mi brothers and embarked on the road to Yuzhou.

Before leaving, in the face of dozens of carts of property and servants sent by the Mi brothers, Ma Qing just smiled and waved his hand, beckoned the Mi family servants to put on spirits, turned over and dismounted and poured a bowl for each of the four, raised his head and wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled: "One bowl is enough, no need to be polite!" ”

Ma Qing knew that this bowl of wine, when he returned to Xiapi, would be able to exchange for the allegiance of 30,000 soldiers and horses.

As for money...... The successor of the Liang Kingdom, the true ruler of the Eighteenth Street of the Nine Cities of Longdu, would he lack this little thing?

"Brother, are they really loyal to us?"

Dong Yu led the horse to the saddle slowly, and a large bowl of liquor dried down to make his head a little cloudy, but the riding skills were not lost at all.

Ma Qing smiled and didn't answer, but just asked Dong Yu and replied to himself: "What did the old man say?" Drinking, horseback riding, and ...... Ha! ”

With a scolding, five hundred rode horses.

Calm the world!
