The martial arts arena of Liangfu, after all, was once the residence of Duan Ying, the chief lieutenant, and all kinds of weapons and stone locks were readily available on the martial arts arena.

After all, the family is full of martial arts idiots, although Guan Yu, Yang Feng, Xu Huang, and Yan Xing are in the martial arts, they have no weak hands, and they spend time with the healthy servants at home in the martial arts arena all day long, and they naturally pay more attention to weapons.

Su Shuang is responsible for the purchase of home decoration, two sets of weapon racks on the martial arts field, a pair of pure iron, a pair of pure wood, iron weapons are specially created by craftsmen to increase the weight of weapons, ordinary guns have a weight of more than 30 Han catties, used to allow everyone to practice martial arts. The wooden weapon is also specially made by ordinary craftsmen, and it is used by everyone in battle, but the weight is not so exaggerated.

Guan Yu and Xu Huang were sweating on the martial arts arena, and the rising sun in the morning shone on their bodies, reflecting all kinds of skin.

"Hey, Saburo, is this a stone lock? It doesn't look the same. Cao Cao stood on the field with a wooden knife, watched several people move, pointed to a pair of barbells that Guan Yu was pushing and asked, "I noticed that thing when you and I were fighting just now." ”

This barbell is also made by Ma Yue in order to exercise the body, in the past, when he was training in Lingshui, Liangzhou, he asked the craftsman to build, and the appearance is the same as the barbell of later generations, but it is limited to technology and materials, and the iron rod is thicker and stronger. A shelf made of stone, a barbell made of pure iron.

"Brother said that, it's a thing that the younger brother has nothing to do, it's called an iron lock, and it's similar to the effect of a stone lock." Ma Yue put the wooden knife back into the weapon rack and smiled at Cao Cao: "Seeing that my brother is absent-minded, I thought that my brother's martial arts had regressed recently, but it turned out to be because of this iron lock, haha." ”

Cao Cao's martial arts are good, although he is lower than Ma Yue, and his strength is not as great as that of Ma Yue, but his body is flexible and his martial arts have his own routines, and a fight still makes Ma Yue sweat a little before he takes it down.

"Hey, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I've been busy with affairs in recent years, and martial arts have really regressed." Saying that, Cao Cao said with a smile: "But when you are in the best health, I'm afraid you are not San Lang's opponent, and you are worthy of being a general in the frontier." ”

"Haha, that's not what I said." Ma Yue said with a smile: "My martial arts are all taught by Brother Guan, and if I didn't give up my life and forget to die in that battle in the north, I would have lost my life a long time ago." ”

The two crossed their arms and chatted very happily, and sat in the pavilion next to the martial arts arena and chatted.

"San Lang is a good soldier?"

Ma Yue nodded and said, "There are a few books left at home, and I have read "Liutao" and "Spring and Autumn", but they are not enough to understand. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "San Lang should learn more things while he is young, Luoyang is not a place to do things, those of us who raise a name, compared to San Lang, a heroic man who started from the end of the year, is still inferior after all, in the east and west, the quiet and cool Sanzhou is the place where good men can show their ambitions." ”

Ma Yue nodded, he recognized Cao Cao's all the places where the man showed his ambitions, when he was a child, his understanding of ancient wars was not enough, and now he has experienced several battles, so he knows what war is.

"Men, they should live on horses."

"That's right! Men should live on horses, Saburo's sentence won my heart! Cao Cao clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother's martial arts are not as good as San Lang, but I still read a lot of books, and I also have a little understanding of the art of marching and arranging, so you and I can learn more in the future." ”

"Ma San can't ask for it, but what does the elder brother mean by raising his name?"

"Hmph." Cao Cao chuckled disdainfully and said, "Do you know the five-colored stick I set up when I was the captain of Chengbei a few years ago?" It can be seen that Yuan Benchu saved the party tirelessly, why was he here for six years of filial piety? It's all about fame, and you and I both know that fame is not equal to ability, but now the imperial court thinks that fame and ability are equal, resulting in many people who sell their fame. ”

Cao Cao's palm crossed several cases, trying to grab something, and said: "However, no one has the ability to change this system, and it is only possible to change this state by making himself more famous." ”

"So, San Lang, you also have to pay attention to your name. In the imperial court, there is no good end to working against Qingliu, especially if you and I are from a background like you, you must get closer to Qingliu, otherwise you see, just like the former owner of this mansion, he was not extremely rigid and easy to break, and he became a eunuch minions and finally died. ”

"What the elder brother said is very true, the younger brother has been taught, and fame is indeed very important."

"A few days ago, He Hao, a native of Nanyang, told me that Xu Shao's Yue Dan evaluation of Runan is very helpful to enhance his reputation, and after San Lang has some fame in Luoyang, he can also let him taste it, whether he is in Luoyang in politics in the future, or as a general at the border, having a great reputation in Luoyang is very helpful to his career, and San Lang also wants to glorify the fame, right?"

The two chatted and chatted until noon, Ma Yue was about to call Cao Cao to Cai Yong's mansion next door as a guest, when he saw Cao Cao get up and smile at Ma Yue: "Thank you San Lang for sneaking with me for such a morning, it's not early, I should also say goodbye, San Lang rest at home, and I will go to the palace tomorrow to inspect." ”

"What, brother figured it out?"

"Huh. Figured it out. Cao Cao said with a smile: "Since you want to be famous and have the ideal of getting ahead, how can you blindly avoid these ridicules." San Lang brought a greeting to Liang Shangshu on my behalf, and I left. ”

"It's fine." Ma Yue nodded and sent Lao Cao out of the house.

Lao Cao is not old, it is the year of establishment.

Thirty-year-old Cao Mengde's head is full of national events, all the preferences in life, and the preferences left by his youth and frivolity now seem to have become the condiment of his career.

Looking at Cao Cao's departing back, Ma Yue sighed, greeted everyone in the martial arts arena, and returned to the room to sleep.

This era was called the end of the Han Dynasty by later generations, and the last years of the Han Dynasty were difficult for the people to live and the people were suffering.

In fact, in Ma Yue's view, this era is far less miserable than the history books of later generations, the price of grain is higher, but people's lives are still fed, the world is chaotic, there are indeed many bandits and displaced people, but there is no such exaggerated large-scale rebellion.

You don't see that even if Li Chen stretches out the border county and can pull out a thousand troops at will, he can only hide and live in the desert.

This era is not good, but people hope that this era will continue to be so peaceful, at least when the famine comes, the imperial court can send grain officials to open warehouses, and when the epidemic hits, the imperial court can send doctors to treat the disease.

The court is not inactive, but it is just a little mediocre, but it will not fall into troubled times.

The eunuchs are not all bad, the clear stream is not all white, and Liang Hu is not only a treacherous villain who dances and steals ink from a high position.

Cao Cao is not ambitious or treacherous, people just want to live better.

Black is not black, white is not white, it is more about sticking out of the gray area of black and white.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was a gray era.
