Chapter 23: Hearsay
Dong Zhuo and Ma Yue had the same idea, and on the night when the warship was scuttled, he personally led 10,000 horsemen to disembark from the east bank of the Han River, and at the same time, his subordinates made more than ten warships equipped with stone cannons carry a few daring soldiers to the enemy's water village to bombard the enemy with solid stones. He divided the army into five iron cavalry, plundered the military villages along the Jiangdong Army, and killed thousands of enemies in one night.
Dong Laoer's ruthlessness is like this.
The warships of the Jiangdong Army were fast and light, carrying many sergeants to shoot at the enemy with well-made bows. The warships of the Liang Kingdom are slow and heavy, and they are heavy and terrifying on the strong crossbow and stones, but the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom may not have a strong water nature, even if they are naval troops. As a result, they may win the battle on the water, but they will almost certainly lose the battle underwater.
Sun Jian miscalculated, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to launch a surprise attack on the night of the first defeat, this was his second mistake. For the first time, I didn't expect Ma Yue to reactivate Dong Zhuo.
The war in Yizhou continues, and the wine banquet in Jizhou continues.
Ma Yue didn't expect that he wanted Zhen Yan to say something about the friendship between the two families that were not nutritious, so as to end this banquet early and have a good rest, and what was waiting for him next was likely to be several days of continuous running and attacking. With the battle report of Hanshui's defeat, Ma Yue felt more and more that the day of the decisive battle with Gongsun Zan was about to begin.
As long as Gongsun Zan is defeated, he can go south to help Liu Bei clean up the junior of the Sun family who is showing off his might!
What kind of ability is bullying Liu Xuande?
There is a kind of bad luck that comes to find me Ma Yue!
But he didn't want to, Zhen Yan said abruptly in such a scene that he wanted to marry Ma Yue and promise his little sister to be his little wife...... Ma Yue's head was stunned.
Although it is said that it is indeed Ma's responsibility to cause Zhen Mi to be unable to marry so far, it is ...... Ma Yue waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhen, it's not that Ma Yue is unwilling, it's just that Ma is approaching his forties, and Ling Mei is in her prime, not to mention that she is a concubine, which is also ......unfair to Ling Mei."
Unexpectedly, when it came to the marriage, Zhen Yan actually showed the fierce pursuit and fierce fight of a fierce general on the battlefield, and said: "The minister has heard that His Royal Highness has only his wife Mrs. Cai so far, and has never taken a concubine, but is there such a thing?" ”
"That's good." Ma Yue Zhengse said: "Like Ma, he has already promised his nine-foot body to the big man, even for Yan'er, he has a lot of guilt in his heart, the world is not quiet and the Quartet is conquering, where can Rong Ma Yuwan take care of the personal feelings of his children?" It's hard to even be accompanied, and how can you talk about being a husband! ”
Of course, Ma Yue felt ashamed, why is it easy to say that the world is not peaceful, but where is it so easy to really do? Perennial war, although Ma Yue never said his ambition to stabilize the world, but seeing the broken bones on the side of the road in the world, where will the heart be like water, although the time has passed 20 years, but the man lives and dies, and he has never changed his heart.
Fifteen years ago, he never forgot the kneeling of the first emperor in the Jiade Palace, if it weren't for these, what would he use to support the wind and rain over the years?
In fact, the little emperor thought well, thinking that he Ma Yue was going to plot against this Han family. Of course, he is plotting the Han family! He wants to straighten out the world with this nine-foot body, just like what he has been doing, whoever starts a rebel army, he will ask for the death of the clan!
But remarry a wife and take a concubine? He hadn't even thought about it.
Over the years, he owes Cai Yan too much.
Ma Yue at this moment is too much better than Yuan Shao in Zhen Mi's eyes! There are many differences between the romance of this era and later generations, but it has never been separated from the love of men and women, such as the romance of Beiyu Ji, the overlord of Western Chu; The love story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru is also romantic; Even where is Jiangdong Zhoulang not romantic, realizing all the fantasies that his daughter's midnight dream has come true?
Before meeting Ma Yue again, Zhen Mi secretly thought more than once that she would meet a beautiful Zhou Lang who looked like Jiang Zuo's beautiful husband in the future. He is young and unique, but he can fight back against the soldiers, and he can also fight in the chest.
But the biggest romance in the world is no match for Ma Yue's simple sentence 'The nine-foot body has promised the country, what is home?' ’
If you can say such things, you are the great husband in the world!
"Who knows if you're saying this?" Zhen Mi's heart was like a deer in her chest, but she mustered up the courage and said with a red face: "Who knows if you are afraid of the rumors of my young lady's Nakefu!" ”
As soon as Zhen Mi's words came out, Zhen Yan turned his head and was about to scold, "I'll talk to Your Highness, where is your waiting...... Hey? ”
As soon as Zhen Yan turned his head and saw that it was his little sister Zhen Mi, his eyes widened suddenly, and at the same time he glanced at Ma Yue carefully, for fear that His Royal Highness King Liang would blame him.
"Brother Zhen, I didn't expect that your sister was a strange woman, and even the maid dared to talk to me, haha." Ma Yue is not surprised, he is a casual person and never sticks to morality and etiquette, although the person he is talking to is a maid...... Well, Ma Yue couldn't help but take a closer look at it, the face like a hibiscus in Qing Shui, the big eyes full of aura, a pair of eyes were like a tan of water, the skin that could be broken by blowing was flushed with shame, and the cherry mouth that was pouted in anger was as if Ma Yue had offended her, and her cheeks were bulging.
Well, she's still a very good-looking maid.
Ma Yue looked at the frightened Zhen Yan and the sword dance that stopped, even Zhen Yao's arrogant young man who was not afraid of not giving Ma Yue a good look seemed to be afraid that Ma Yue would blame this maid, Ma Yue especially smiled: "It's okay, everyone in this world has the right to speak, don't worry." ”
Afterwards, Ma Yue said to the maid Zhengse: "I rejected your master not because I was afraid of the blink of an eye, you also said that it was a rumor." Even if it is a rumor, it is probably not true...... What's more, your young lady is not Kefu, but because the Yuan family can't provoke a melee of soldiers and horses from all over the country in Luoyang, just to prevent someone from entering Luoyang. Even Ma's nephew is also serving here, the Yuan family will naturally not survive in the world, if it is strange, then the Yuan family's lonely soul can only be blamed on my head, where will I blame your young lady? ”
"If you talk about rumors, I'm afraid that there are the most rumors on someone in Ma, come, Xingba will give a few examples for you to laugh at." Ma Yue said that he no longer looked at the maid, and turned his head to touch the wine bowl with Gan Ning. Gan Ning mentioned this and said with a smile: "Rumors about His Highness, I'm afraid Gan doesn't need to count them, just say that His Highness likes to make enemies, and there are countless enemies in the world, so there are not many scholars except ordinary people, but Gan has been under His Highness for so many years, why haven't you seen a few enemies?" ”
"Countless enemies are not rumors, not rumors." Ma Yue smiled and said to Zhen Yan: "You can't see my enemies now, because they are no longer alive. But to be honest, if the fall of the Yuan clan was caused by Ling Mei, wouldn't it mean that Ma someone was a high-ranking official? ”
"Responsibility and injury are different, which is why Ma rejected Brother Zhen's proposal to marry." Ma Yue said to the little maid behind Zhen Yan: "Ma cherishes the soldiers very much, and these good sons who were born and died because of Ma Mou's desire usually have everything that can be given to them in the country, even if they violate the art of war, they will rarely be punished to death, it doesn't matter if they are the generals of the defeated army, they just flee back and fight again." I will never put my own soldiers to death lightly, but if I break another line, I will die, and there is no room for it. That's rape of women and harm to the defenseless, that's harm. ”
"But it is inevitable that you will meet the girl you like, and no one can avoid this, so what I advocate in the Liang National Army is to marry someone and go home as a wife, and I have also snatched back the woman as a wife for my confidant. It may seem wrong to me, but it's a responsibility. Ma Yue shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said: "Responsibility is not harm, responsibility is companionship, it is shelter...... There is no man in the world who is more able to shelter people than my soldiers. ”
Ma Yue stood up, paced in the hall and said aloud to everyone: "Before you met Ma, a little bit of hearsay, a little conjecture and conjecture, and then I had a liking and dislike for Ma. But is the person you think of the same as the man who stands before you at this very moment? I think it's mostly different. Since it is heard, it is mostly true, and most of it is false, and between truth and falsehood, it is an inevitable choice made by a person in a special period. Just like if you hear too much about Ma Mou's murder, you feel that Ma Mou is a person who likes to kill innocents indiscriminately, like a butcher. I also know that because of the extermination of the Yuan family, Ma is more prejudiced in the Zhen family, which I understand. ”
As he spoke, Ma Yue picked up Zhen Yao's Han sword and handed it back to him when he saw Zhen Mi falling, shook his head and said to everyone: "But there are still many things you don't know, the Yuan family drove others to provoke the five armies to fight in Luoyang City, who mourned for the dead soldiers?" People still blame me for ordering the destruction of the Yuan clan, but does anyone still remember them? I remember! ”
"My nephew served in the chaotic battle, and was attacked by the Yuan clan in the shadows with a strong crossbow. In that battle, I lost a general who could fight well, and fell into a wine shop that was not worth mentioning...... I was hesitant to use my power to kill others, but I had to do it, because those soldiers who died unjustly needed someone to stand up for them, and who else would this person do for me? "Ma Yue's face was full of pain, what kind of days was it, his brother's crying made him remember it forever in his mind, and it was embarrassing that the candidate who was once as famous as Ma Yue died under a short knife." There are some things I know, and some things I don't know, so Ma believes that seeing is believing more than groundless rumors, so Brother Zhen, I must refuse you. Because I'm afraid you never asked Ling Mei if she was willing to marry a martial artist like Ma who was nearly forty years old and had blood on his hands. ”
"I do!"
As soon as Ma Yue's words fell, when the people in the hall were immersed in Ma Yue's words and thinking, they saw the beautiful maid behind Zhen Yan blushing and said, "I do!" ”
"What did you say?" Ma Yue was stunned for a moment, who asked you?
"I said I do!" Zhen Mi looked at Ma Yue, nothing mattered at this moment, she just wanted to go with this man, raised her head and looked at Zhen Yan firmly and said, "Brother, I am willing!" ”
