Chapter 19: The First Year of Zhongping

"Ma Jun...... It's getting dark, how long have I been sleeping? ”

Cai Yan woke up from his sleep and touched the fox fur covering his body, only to see Ma Yue bowing down and talking to himself behind him.

To tell the truth, wake up in a nap The night has sunk, the fire at the feet is warm, the wind and snow outside the pavilion do not affect the temperature inside at all, there is still residual fragrance in the beast head copper furnace, and the body is covered with fox fur to the touch of warm and soft. It's all very comfortable.

If it weren't for the fact that I opened my eyes and saw a scarred face.

I thought so, but Cai Yan was not taken aback, she had been getting along for so long, she had long been used to this face. Rubbing his sour neck, Cai Yan stood up.

"Zhongdao, why didn't you come to accompany my senior sister?"

Cai Yan heard Ma Yue's question, and was silent for a while, and then said: "I haven't seen him for many days, and the day before yesterday someone sent a letter to the house, saying that he had recovered from his injuries and returned to Hedong, and he would go to Yizhou next year." ”

Speaking of Yizhou, Cai Yan glanced at Ma Yue with some resentment, but didn't ask anything.

"It's better to go." Ma Yue had a little more smile on his face, and then he froze on his face and asked, "Zhongdao is injured?" ”

Cai Yan looked at him carefully, and saw that the surprise between his eyebrows did not seem to be fake, so he sighed and said: "When the senior brother was still in Luoyang, he invited me out of the city one day, and then a little king of the Huns asked me my name, and I didn't tell him, so the senior brother fought with him and was injured. ”

"Is that so?" Ma Yue asked eagerly: "What was Zhongdao's injury at that time, he was already sick, if there are three long and two short, how can I explain to my brother, then what is the surname of the little king of the Huns?" ”

Ma Yue's words are sincere, if it is Wei Qian, Ma Yue is too lazy to care whether he lives or dies. But Wei Zhongdao is different, even if the two of them love Cai Yan together, Ma Yue is 100% full of praise for Wei Zhongdao's humble and gentlemanly temperament.

Seriously, compared to being talented, Cao Mengde is no worse than Wei Zhongdao. But Cao Cao is uninhibited, which also makes it easier for Ma Yue to make friends as friends, not to mention that it is Cao Cao, but with these two words, Ma Yue can accept that he is not as good as him, and it is not so easy to be envious.

But Wei Zhongdao is different, he is similar in age to Ma Yue, and he has the attainments that Ma Yue and Ma Yue can't catch up with in literature and art, and what is even more commendable is that his character is really just like the humble gentleman written in the ancient book, knowing good and evil, knowing right and wrong, and respecting education. Ma Yue and him are not so easy to be friends, but they really admire him.

"What are you doing when you ask this, that person is not ruthless, and some bullies the senior brother for different martial arts, but after all, there is some measure, the senior brother is fine, you don't care about this matter."

Ma Yue nodded when he heard this, and saw that the front yard was lively, so he stopped talking. He could see that Cai Yan didn't want him to have another incident because of this matter.

This means that the little king of the Huns is very powerful, and he wants to know who that person is.

Ma Yue didn't know that he really couldn't afford to provoke Liu Bao. Because Liu Bao's surname is Liu, his grandmother is a princess of the Han Dynasty, and he is a person with royal blood of the Xiongnu and Han dynasties.

As soon as I entered the front hall, most of them were almost arranged, the main seat was on the top, and there were several cases on the left and right sides below, and a fire was piled up in the middle, and two sheep were roasted and drooling down with oil, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Seeing Ma Yue leading Cai Yan in, Guan Yu, Yang Feng and other henchmen hurriedly greeted Ma Yue, Ma Yue looked at a few cases, and said casually: "It's almost the New Year, let's not be so angry, let's sit closer." ”

As he spoke, Ma Yue went up and moved a few cases to the middle below, and several people also moved a few cases on both sides closer, and then sat down.

Ma Yue sat in the center, on the left were Cheng Li and Cheng Wu father and son, Cai Yan and Yan who were holding Wanning. On the right is Guan Yu, followed by Yang Feng, Yan Xing, and An Mu. It's not deserted, but it's not lively.

I miss the days in Longxian County, that's what is called lively!

The retinue of Li Jing were interspersed, pouring wine for everyone, roasting sheep, they were even more casual, and after pouring the wine, they could find someone to sit down behind them.

Ma Saburo here, there are not so many rules.

"Brothers, in the blink of an eye, the first year of Zhongping is about to pass. This year, we put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and everyone has official status, which is gratifying. The most important thing is that each of us can still sit here, drink wine and eat meat! ”

"Haha! Saburo is right, they are all alive. ”

There is no Xu Huang among these people, Xu Huang is the head of a county in Gucheng, and the New Year is his busiest time, and he can't come back.

Ma Yue raised the wine, drank it in one gulp, and motioned to everyone, and then everyone also drank a glass together.

"Ah Ruo, you are in Longguan, how is the war in Liangzhou, and how is the family?"

Yang Feng drank a glass of wine, he was the happiest this year, Ma Yue's meritorious deeds and rewards made him very useful, not to mention the two thousand stone official position of the commander of Longguan Duwei, just the sword of the Son of Heaven that Liu Hong rewarded the lord with is now rewarded to himself, which is already a great honor for the retainers. He arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, the rebels in Liangzhou are getting stronger and stronger, occupying Jincheng and Caohan generation, the Han army of Liangzhou is confronting each other on both sides of the water west of Qiqi, Ma Monkey privately led the army to Ayang to help Gai Xun some time ago, and came back to stab Shi Zuochang inevitably hated him, but I heard that the battle report on the three battles and three victories is also very good." ”

Yang Feng briefly talked about the situation in Liangzhou, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is afraid that the chaos will affect the safety of the family, so he set up two Wu forts in Zhangjiachuan, facing each other with horns, and the second brother Ma took Cheng Yin and Cheng Yi to guard them. By the way, now Brother Shou Cheng is already the Liangzhou Han Army's Zuojun Sima, Ma Monkey, Candidate, Yang Qiu and others, as well as Peng Tuo, all of whom have joined the Han Army, and the three county soldiers are above and below the captain, all of whom are our people. Now that both sides have been on standby, it seems that the situation of the new year is over. ”

Ma Yue nodded lightly, but he didn't expect that now Liangzhou is also smooth, and all the brothers back then have military merits. This time the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion is another great purge, if there is no accident, the war maintained in this form is over, and the Ma family will become the uncrowned king of Liangzhou.

However, then Yang Feng frowned and said: "But I heard that Zuo Chang is very dissatisfied with the eldest brother's leader, and there have been several frictions between the two sides. ”

"Isn't this Zuo Chang Mr.'s person? There should be some support for the family...... Ah, I see! ”

Ma Yue didn't continue, just nodded and asked Yang Feng to stop talking. He figured out the joint, Ma Teng mastered most of the military power in the eastern part of Liangzhou, and set up Zuochang!

But this couldn't be said in front of Cai Yan, Ma Yue waved his hand to Yang Feng, and immediately asked: "Ah Ruo, you are the captain in Longguan, and you came to Luoyang, how about the defense?" ”

"It's okay, I've handed over all the defense to the military Sima, and I won't be able to do anything in a few days."

Ma Yue nodded, and then thought that Yan Xing was the Sima of the Changshui Army, and now Liu Zhen, the captain of the sect, was definitely going to participate in the sacrifice, so he hurriedly asked Yan Xing: "Yanming, didn't the captain of Changshui hand over the defense to you?" ”

"Handed over, I missed the lord and brothers too much, so I ran back by myself, it's okay, I'll go back to the barracks before the curfew after dinner!"

"Nonsense!" Ma Yue hurriedly took a few cases and said, "How can you come back if you have defense?" If the captain is not there, neither is Sima here, and if something happens, it will be your sin that will be cured first! ”

Yan Xing's face was stunned, he really didn't expect that Ma Yue, who had always been kind to words, would argue with him so angrily, and a cynical smile froze on his face: "Lord......"

"Ugh." Ma Yue yelled at him, and felt that it was a little too harsh, he was very grateful to Yan Xing, without Yan Xingdongjun's life and death, he Ma Yue would not be able to stand here now, sighed, and then changed his tone and said: "Yanming, military law does not allow child's play, have you forgotten that I and Yun Chang almost made a big mistake when I woke up from drinking in the military camp on the day I drank and woke up?" After dinner, I hurried back to the barracks, Liu Zhen and us are not close, if he wants to deal with you, I will not be able to help you. ”

"Okay, Yanming knows."

"What's more, in the future, Yanming will be a general of the first army, if the generals themselves can't do the order and prohibition, and the upper and lower lines will be effective, then won't the military law become a joke?"

In this way, Yan Xing's expression improved slightly, but it was inevitable that he would have a wilted look.

But soon, I was driven by the cheerful atmosphere of the dinner, drinking and eating meat, so unhappy.

In the end, everyone was drunk, and Yan Xing naturally couldn't return to the barracks. However, fortunately, there were no accidents in the army in Nianguan, and Yan Xing did not receive a reprimand.

It was Chinese New Year's Eve in the first year of Zhongping.
