Chapter 41 Peng Tuo repays the favor
"The little people's hair is like a leek, cut and revived; The head is like a chicken, cutting and recalling. The officials don't have to be fearful, and the people don't have to be light! ”
This is the sorrow of the people in the world, they can't bear it anymore, they finally blocked everything, and set off a huge Yellow Turban Uprising.
In the sixth year of Guanghe, at the end of January, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world.
The edict pardoned all the sins of the party, the officials, and the common people. Only Taiping believers do not forgive. The imperial court killed Ma Yuanyi and 500 Taiping Dao believers, which made the Taiping Daoists in the world frightened. Zhang Jiao in Yecheng, Jizhou, saw that the matter was leaked, and sent a message to the three parties in the starry night, and hundreds of thousands of believers wore yellow scarves on their foreheads, attacking the county and burning the official mansion.
The Yellow Turban Uprising, which swept the world, is coming.
The war reports from all over the country were sent to Luoyang like snowflakes, Liu Hong summoned the people who dared to fight in all states of the world overnight to confer official positions, and the former Shenhou Henan Yin Hejin was promoted to the general, and led the left and right Yulin to be stationed outside the city to build ordnance, and at the same time set up one lieutenant in the eight passes of Yougu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Tin Yuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, and led the troops to defend Luoyang.
Lu Zhi was promoted to the North Zhonglang General to attack the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army where Zhang Jiao was located, the left Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, the right Zhonglang General Zhu Jun led his troops to attack the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, and Yilang Cao Cao was also in this department and was promoted to the rank of cavalry captain. Liu Hong did not forget Ma Yue, and was promoted from Qianshi County to Captain Changshui of the Northern Army, under the command of Lu Zhi, and went to Jizhou in the near future.
The person who took over Henan Yin was the eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu, who once asked Ji Ling to beat Ma Yue at home.
The three middle generals each represent different statuses, Ma Yue thought about it a little, and knew that Liu Hong's hand was a good check and balance, and Lu Zhi represented a scholar and a Confucian scholar. Zhu Jun has always been the pillar of the imperial court, representing the pragmatic school of the imperial court. And Huangfu Song is an orthodox Liangzhou martial arts family.
There are a lot of generals available in the imperial court, Zhang Wen, Yuan Peng, Zhou Shen, and even Dong Pang from Liangzhou, these are all men who have fought with foreign clans and still have the upper hand.
Captain Changshui, jumped to the same level as Cao Cao's cavalry lieutenant, and this official position was a bit big for Ma Yue. Ma Yue knew that this official position must be the result of the joint efforts of Liang Hu, Zhang Rang and others, otherwise the imperial court would not have granted Ma Yue such a high official position now. Moreover, Liang Hu told him that after he led his troops to fight, Liu Hong was likely to make him a political official such as a county commander.
Nearly 100,000 elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty were assembled in a few days and were about to start, but Ma Yue waited for an unexpected guest at home.
On this day, Ma Yue was chatting with Mrs. Cai Yan Pei in the backyard, and Wei Zhongdao had never come to the door these days, so Ma Yue relieved Cai Yan's worries.
After finishing the song, Cai Yan stroked the strings of the piano and asked, "San Lang, the slave family heard that the Taiping Dao uprising is one million, and they are going to go on the expedition again, right?" ”
"yes." Sighing, Ma Yue said: "I thought that Your Majesty would arrange me under the command of General Huangfu Zhonglang, but I didn't want to be selected into the Northern Army to go to Jizhou. ”
Mrs. Pei said with a smile: "San Lang don't sigh, but at the age of nineteen, he has already received one of the five captains, which is a blessing that no matter how many people ask for." ”
Ma Yue chuckled and said, "But it's not, Your Majesty Longen's death is hard to report...... It's just that those undesirable clear streams will mock a certain family again. ”
"The body is not afraid of shadows." Mrs. Pei said: "San Lang don't care about those, quelling the chaos for His Majesty is the most important thing, and his mouth is on others, so let them say it...... It's just that it's pitiful, Yan'er can't go to Wu County. ”
"Uh...... Oh, yes. Ma Yue didn't know how to tell Cai Yan that the world was in chaos and the Han family fell apart.
At this moment, a family came from the front yard and knocked on the door of the courtyard and said, "Uncle, someone from outside the gate of the mansion has come to visit, saying that it is your entourage in Liangzhou." ”
"Oh?" At this juncture, why did someone come to Liangzhou, Ma Yue got up and left with Mrs. Pei and Cai Yan, and asked, "Didn't you say who it was?" ”
"Back to my uncle, someone came to say that it was the governor of Anding County, Peng Tuo." Saying that, the servant looked at Ma Yue with envy, it was the captain of a county, the commander of the two thousand stones, and he was actually just an entourage of his uncle.
"Peng Tuo is here? I'm afraid something has happened at home! Ma Yue said and hurriedly said to the servant, "Invite him in." ”
Ma Yue hurriedly ran out of the backyard, Guan Yu saw him in the martial arts arena and hurriedly came over and asked, "San Lang, what happened so panicked?" ”
Ma Yue turned his head and said, "I don't know what's going on at home, Peng Tuo came from Liangzhou." ”
"Huh?" Guan Yu, Yang Feng and the others were also surprised, Yan Xing said: "Lord, there shouldn't be anything at home, everything is fine when I went back to the house last winter." ”
Ma Yue waved his hand and said, "Let's wait for Peng to come and take a look." ”
Since hearing Peng Tuo's name, Ma Yue felt that something had happened at home, and the county order was not allowed to leave his post at will, let alone the lieutenant who was in charge of the military power of a county.
After a short time, Peng Tuo was led into the courtyard by the servants and went straight to the martial arts arena. It seems that Peng has taken off a little black, and he is also a little thinner, and his body is still full of muscles and thick leather jackets, which can't stop his strong body, leading the horse and carrying the package...... I don't want to pass on the message, but it looks like I don't plan to go back after leaving Liangzhou.
"Brother Peng, why are you here? But what happened at home? ”
Peng Tuo shook his head and said, "San Lang don't worry, nothing happened at home, Peng Tuo...... It was from Saburo to say goodbye. ”
"Goodbye?" Ma Yue smiled and said: "San Lang is just going out to fight, as for Brother Peng who came to Yu San Lang to say goodbye, please sit down quickly, I will send someone to drink some warm soup for Brother Peng to drive away the cold." ”
Peng Tuo's face was expression, and he pursed his lips and said a little embarrassed: "San Lang, don't be busy, Peng Tuo is here to say goodbye, I'm leaving." ”
"Huh?" Guan Yu asked, "Peng Tuo, where are you going?" ”
Ma Yue also asked suspiciously: "Why is this?" ”
Taking a deep breath, Peng Tuo said: "The great sage and good teacher saved the life of Tozhi, and now that he has raised troops, I will follow him and do my part." ”
"Pengtuo, are you crazy?" Guan Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Peng Tuo's cotton robe and shouted, "Why don't the captains with two thousand stones go to be a thief with Zhang Jiao?" ”
In Liangzhou, Guan Yu had a good relationship with Peng Tuo, so he was even more angry.
Peng Tuo grabbed Guan Yu's hand, but he didn't fight, but said: "He is a great sage and good teacher, my life is saved by a great sage and good teacher, he is a thief, then my life Peng Tuo is a thief!" ”
Guan Yu was furious when he heard this, he couldn't see Peng Tuo being so stupid and loyal, and shouted angrily: "Zhang Jiao saved your life, and San Lang saved the dog's life?" Who is in the Zhangye curtain to save you from the death? Who made you go from being the leader of a broken caravan to a lieutenant of the imperial court with 2,000 stones? This is all the goddamn gift of San Lang, not the Zhang Jiao who confuses the people! ”
"Enough!" Ma Yue shouted: "Yun Chang, you let go of Brother Peng first, and if you have something to say." ”
"Humph!" When Guan Yu heard Ma Yue's stop, he let go of Peng Tuo angrily, stretched out his finger and pointed at Peng Tuo without speaking.
"Poof!" With a bang, Yang Feng threw the long sword and stabbed it into the ground of the martial arts arena for a few inches, and walked over slowly, his right leg was not good enough, but it was already fine.
Yang Feng said: "Peng Tuo, think about it, Zhang Jiao saved your life, but it's really not worth it for you to follow him at this time, you are pushing yourself into the fire pit...... If Saburo becomes a thief one day, he will definitely not let you give up your good future to follow him.
Ma Yue didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth, but the words didn't come out. There were also Yan Xing, Xu Huang, and An Mu beside him, but they were not familiar with Peng Tuo, and they didn't know what to say in this situation.
Guan Yu took two deep breaths and said, "Peng Tuo, you are righteous, have temperance, and know how to repay your kindness, but do you know that San Lang will go to Jizhou to conquer Zhang Jiao in the near future?" ”
Peng Tuo knelt down on the spot, kowtowed to Ma Yue three times, and said: "What the brother said Peng Tuo naturally understands in his heart, but man, if you have kindness, you will repay it." Zhang Jiao is going to be defeated, and I, Peng Tuo, will give him back this life. ”
"If you owe San Lang, in the next life, Peng Tuo will make cattle and horses for San Lang."
"I don't want you to be a cow and horse in the next life, I want you to live well in this life and this life, remember, I don't blame you for fighting for Zhang Jiao, but if Zhang Jiao defeats you, you must surrender to the Han army if you can't fight anymore, if a general wants to kill you, tell them my name and let them bring you to see me!"
Peng Tuo was about to walk out of the mansion, Ma Yue stood in place and shouted: "Peng Tuo, you go to Yingchuan!" Seeing that the situation is not good, you can escape back to Liangzhou, even if you turn against the world, I Ma Yue will also protect you, and the place where I am is your home. ”
Peng Tuo strode away from the Liang Mansion, paused when he heard the words, and ran out of Luoyang with a whip across the horse......
His road is a Huangquan Road that will never be recovered.
