At the end of the fifth year of Xiping and the beginning of the sixth year of Xiping, Ma Yue spent time in Huaili prison.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Xiping, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to amnesty the world. Ma Yue and Ma played with Ma to end a month-long prison career, and the first thing Ma Yue said after coming out was that he would never go to prison again in the future, for no other reason, the prison food was too unpalatable.

The Ma family experienced five years of turmoil in Xiping, and finally settled down in the sixth year of Xiping.

After that meeting with Cao Cao, Ma Teng gradually put down his work, rarely drank and had fun, and practiced martial arts and studied at home every day. Ma Zong took over the eldest brother's class, led a group of brothers in the county town, and continued to accumulate the prestige of the Ma family. And Ma Yue also got very good conditions, and the four masters of Guan Yu, Ma Teng, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang lived at home, so they naturally humbly asked them for advice every day.

Such days are rare, everyone's life experience is different, the style of martial arts is also slightly different, Ma play with Ma Yue and the two little guys of the Ma family smell the chicken every day, and practice martial arts is extraordinarily energetic. In addition to the life-and-death fight, the fastest martial arts practice is the master's feeding move, and the four of them all understand that this kind of opportunity is precious, and they have gained from sharpening each other.

However, the children of the Ma family who entered the country the most, and their income far exceeded that of several people. It's just that their bodies haven't grown up yet and they lack experience in fighting the enemy, but these months of learning will be a valuable asset for them to use in martial arts for a lifetime.

On the surface, it can be seen that the progress is the horse play, in March, Cheng Yin drove the cattle and sheep to the Ma family to see the horse play martial arts, and then was stabbed off the horse by the burning stick, and since then, this Qiang ** beard has also lived in the Ma family and confirmed the martial arts experience with everyone.

In addition to practicing martial arts, under the supervision of Ma Teng, Ma Yue also read the Four Books and the Five Classics and the essence of the Ma family's ancestral art of war. After such a long time, Ma Yue also saw Ma Teng's change of mentality, and finally one day, Ma Yue couldn't help but ask Ma Teng.

Ma Teng said: "Our ancestors had a general Fubo, and he was a wealthy family in Liangzhou at that time. In the past, our family lived in Maoling, near Huaili, and there were thousands of servants in the family. Later, the family was separated, and our family gradually declined, and the county lieutenant who fell to my father was only 600 stones. The elder brother wants to revive the glory of his ancestors, so he must read more. ”

"Poor families have to rely on martial arts to exchange their lives for prestige and money, but to rise to the ranks, it is not only a matter of force, but also wisdom. And wisdom. Ma Teng pointed to the book in his hand and said, "Here it is." ”

In May, Yang Feng and Zhang Liao Xu Huang, who had been away from home for half a year, said goodbye to everyone and embarked on the way home, and after returning Yang Feng continued to be his overlord, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang didn't know how to live, in order to see Guan Yu, both of them resigned from their positions as county officials, and it is estimated that they will be idle at home for a while.

In July, the fire flowed, and the hard work of martial arts in the past six months caused a lot of changes to Ma Yue. Today's Ma Yue has grown to seven feet, which is a little lower than Cao Cao, nearly one meter seven. For half a year, he has been accompanied by long spears and short knives and stone locks all day long, and he has developed a bulging little muscle, and at first glance he is a heroic young man, and he will no longer look like a child in the past.

An edict came from Luoyang, shattering the peace of thousands of small villages like Zhangshan Village. Liu Hong, the son of the Han Dynasty, plundered the border counties because of Xianbei for many years, and recruited troops in the territory of the Han Empire.

The big men and sons have a passionate and patriotic heart, although they resent the eunuchs in power, but when the empire is in need, they will still not hesitate to shed the last drop of blood for the country.

Ma Teng and Ma Zong were no exception, and Cheng Yin was a candidate who went together, and Ma Yue also wanted to go but was left at home by Ma Teng.

He was too young, and Ma Teng didn't want him to be on the battlefield too early. Also staying at home are playing with feathers and horses. Both of them are guilty, and this time in the six counties, only good families are recruited, and the other sinners are going to be used for the army. They are not among them.

In August, the Han Dynasty went to war with Xianbei. Wuhuan Captain Xia Yu led the troops from Gao Liu, Po Xianbei Zhonglang led Tian Yan from Tanzhong County, and Xiongnu Zhonglang led Zang Min from Yanmen County to attack Xianbei in three ways. The 30,000-strong army was huge, vowing to punish Xianbei in the north.

However, at this time, Xianbei was not so weak, and the Xianbei generation of male lord Tanshi Huai divided Xianbei's vast territory into three, and each set up an adult to guard it. The offensive route of the Han army had already been reported to Xianbei, and the leaders of the three divisions met the Han army separately.

If you want to say that this sandalwood acacia is also interesting, his father's name is Touluhou. The Huns were still relatively strong in the era of the Luhou, and the Luhou was a small Xianbei nobleman who was a vassal of the Huns, and he followed the Hun army for three years. When he returned to the tribe three years later, he found that he had an extra cheap son. Touluhou thought it was strange and asked his wife what was going on, and she said that an ice cube had fallen from the sky, and after eating it, she gave birth to a child ten months later. Ever heard of eating sorbet to have children? You don't believe it, you don't believe it, but seeing that this kid is very cute, you can't bear to kill it with your own hands, so you plan to throw it into the wilderness and let him fend for himself. But his wife didn't agree, and he didn't say it to his face, and he found a child to raise behind his mother's family, and this child was Tanshi Huai.

The protracted battle lasted all summer, the Han army went out of the fortress for more than 2,000 miles, the grain road of the thousand-mile front was unguarded, the axle weight was copied by Xianbei, and the 30,000 Han army became a lone army.

The battle report reached the Han Dynasty in September, and the Han army was defeated, with seven or eight out of ten dead and wounded. The three generals each fled back with dozens of cavalry, and the enraged Han Emperor was demoted to a concubine for the crime of defeating the army.

30,000 Han soldiers, if they say no, they will be gone.

When Ma Yue received the news, it was already mid-September, and none of the sons and daughters of Zhangshan Village who had joined the army had returned.

At night, Ma Yue sat at the door in a daze with a wine jar, his eyes were dull like walking corpses, accompanied by Guan Yu and Ma playing.

"Brother Guan, they all said that my brother won't come back, what do you think?"

Guan Yu frowned and said: "Da Lang is brave and strategic, Erlang is strong in martial arts, and there are candidates for Cheng Yin by his side, if he is not alone, at least he can escape back from the chaos." It's just that they are alone, and with their strength, there is no team of 100 people who can't keep them. ”

Ma Yu leaned against the wall with his arms and said: "The hundred-man team will definitely not be able to stay, there are more than a few people when they leave, and the more than forty young men in Zhangshan Village are all good men who have survived several wars in northern Xinjiang." What's more, there are hundreds of Qiang soldiers that Cheng Yin pulled away from the tribe, even if they die, they can't die so cleanly. ”

Listening to the words of the two, Ma Yue's empty eyes instantly lit up, and he drank the wine in the wine jar and said, "You think so too? I thought my brother wouldn't die so easily. ”

Ma Yue stood up and threw the wine jar on the ground, which frightened the big dog in the family and howled, and he said, "Two brothers, come with me to Northern Xinjiang tomorrow." ”

Guan Yu did not hesitate and said, "San Lang, don't worry, I'll go with you." ”

Ma Yu wanted to persuade Ma Yue, but seeing his eyes as red as a gambler, he couldn't bear to speak, shook his head and said, "Then let's go to the north to break through." ”

Ma Yue gritted his teeth and said, "It's just dead...... I'm going to bring back my brothers' bones, too! ”
