Chapter 43: A Sky Full of Stars and Moons

Liang Mansion is lively.

Even when Duan Ying was alive, the mansion had never had such a grand occasion, and Duan Ying at that time didn't dare to hold any banquets in the mansion, after all, there were eunuchs and emperors above, what was the use of a border general's prestige even if he was powerful in the world? But now is different from the past, Ma Sanlang of Liangzhou entered Luoyang as an auxiliary minister, to be precise, it started from this day.

The men from Gucheng and the Tuge warriors pushed the cups and changed the lamps, the pigtailed Qiang people wrestled on the martial arts field, the men of the Southern Huns patted the wine altar with open arms and applauded, this is a banquet for the men who are used to fighting and killing, there is no servant in the whole mansion, all the warriors are like they have arrived at their own home, and the items they need are taken at will, anyway, they are staggered next to the weapon rack, and the huge hall is empty, The owner of the mansion tore off an official uniform that symbolized his status, and was wearing a linen robe that was difficult to see in Luoyang, sitting on the ground in the martial arts arena, and the former general from the state also lost a little of the reserve of the countryman, dragging a large piece of roasted lamb leg to golden brown, while secretly smearing the oil stains on Guangluxun's whitewashed linen robe.

The military marquis, who was born as a horse thief, carried four wine jars bare-chested, straddled the horse, twisted from side to side, and the long-haired thin horse raised his front hooves and moved on the martial arts arena. At the gate of the city, the fierce and very fierce general was also the best at the banquet, carrying the wine jar to toast around, and the wine bowl could spill most of it when he touched it. Who would have thought that from Liangzhou to Luoyang, this group of fearless men on the battlefield walked into the Jiuqing Mansion with a little anxiety but ushered in this kind of banquet.

They all let go, no one was tense anymore, even the two sons of Hedong were singing in the audience with wine bowls, and the whole Liang Mansion was particularly noisy in this afternoon.

The wine and food were full, but the bonfire did not burn more vigorously when the sun went down, and several generals of the Ma clan in the palace came back, and the banquet was pushed to **.

"Haha, Yun Chang and Master are also here. Brother Zhong, I can tell you that this jar of wine is expensive, and money can't buy good things. Ma Yue patted the wine jar and beckoned Guan Yu and the others to sit down beside him, and smiled at Dong Zhuo: "Wucheng wine in Wu County, have you heard of it?" Eh, don't grab it! ”

Without waiting for Ma Yue to finish speaking, Dong Zhuo snatched the wine jar and slapped it open and poured a big mouthful, and only after a while did he chirp and say: "Hey, I always hear people say, we haven't drunk it, but it's actually very light." ”

Ma Yue and the others have drunk Wucheng wine, knowing that this wine has a light taste, they all raised their heads and laughed when they heard the words, Dong Min patted Dong Zhuo and smiled: "Second brother, everyone calls this love wine, Jianghuai took out such a jar when he entertained his closest old friends, it is estimated that San Lang has been buried in the yard for a long time, and this cover is mixed with mud and drunk, haha." ”

Dong Zhuo looked at everyone happy, he also smiled, smiled and wrinkled his nose and patted Ma Yue's shoulder and said: "Brother Xian, to be honest with you for my brother, this time your letter of request for help made Dong think for a long time, you may not know that He Tuzi sent an order to come from Bingzhou three hundred miles ago, and later he had to summon a certain army to enter the palace in Luo. ”

"It's hard!" Dong Zhuo shook his head with a smile, "Everyone uses the old brother as a knife, go to his ball, and a certain person won't listen to them!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Yuele laughed heartily, took Dong Zhuo's arm and said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Zhong's efforts to defeat King Qin's army, otherwise it would be difficult for the new emperor to ascend the throne, it is not easy to see the victory of the elder brother on the battle report, the younger brother has long been curious about the war, Brother Zhong, let's listen to it?" ”

"It's nothing, those miscellaneous hairs in Kanto, where can they be the opponents of a certain subordinate son, that battle report right is for you to have a strong reputation." Dong Zhuo waved his hand with an insignificant look and slapped his chest with a shocking sound, "Look at this group of cubs under the command of a certain person, I thought that there would be a fierce battle in Bishan, where did I know that Wang Kuang was known as the strong crossbowman of Mount Tai with three thousand, but in fact, it was just a few militiamen with bows and arrows, and the butcher who taught the certain Tu Ge to run around on a horse and shoot it at the touch of a button...... But don't say it, that Bao Xin is a capable person, and he insisted on letting him escort Wang Kuang to run to Xuanyuan Pass, which was a little timid. ”

"Well, Bao Xin is a capable person, I met him when he was recruiting for the Yellow Turban." Ma Yue put down the wine bowl and said: "At that time, there were some brave and famous, and when he broke the continent, his military merits ranked third in the whole army, and he was still ranked above Cao Mengde. ”

The battle of Continental Ze, almost no one did not know that it was a sonic battle that shook the world, and the prestige of Ma Yue in that battle covered all the famous generals, especially the beginning of his fame.

"Guangluxun, your brothers who made the first merit in that battle all know, the third is that Bao Xin, who is that second?" Guo Yan got off the horse, put the wine jar next to the bonfire, patted Ma Yue on the shoulder and asked, "If it weren't for him, Wang Kuang would have been captured!" ”

Ma Yue pointed at Guo Yan and smiled: "Yo, I haven't seen you for a few years and still call Shangguan Ming'er, when will you learn this as a horse thief, you still call me San Lang, how many years have you been friends." The second most meritorious person is Sun Jian, a native of Wu County, have you heard of him? ”

"Sun Wentai's kid is brave in battle, and he can think of going to someone Dong quickly, and his insights into the current situation are also very unique. I met when I fought with Han Sui, but that kid wasn't very convinced, hey, that kid had another chance, so I didn't mention him. Dong Zhuo knew that Sun Jian had killed him to Zhang Wen when he was in the Fufeng camp, and he was angry when he mentioned this name, and he still wanted to keep Sun Jian by his side. Biting the leg of mutton fiercely, he threw the bone casually and pointed to Ma Yue's linen shirt and asked: "It's not for my brother to say you, why don't you get some brocade to wear on your body, making this linen cloth is the same as mourning, isn't the first emperor still mourning, don't talk about us, many years have passed, how are you, what is the situation in Luoyang?" ”

"Well, it was barely stable this morning." Referring to the current situation, Ma Yue sighed, shook his head and said: "It's not who died, last night the captain of the city gate pretended to give me the power of the city gate and invited me to visit the city gate defense, but he was ambushed by He Miao on the way and almost lost his life." The captain of the military academy in the palace, Jian Shuo, who had been helping me, was also assassinated at the same time, and his luck was a little worse, and he died outside the Jiade Hall on the spot. ”

"Damn, Zhu Miao still dares to ambush you? What, is it to avenge He Tuzi? Dong Zhuo rubbed his face and said mockingly: "I haven't heard that the two of them have a deep brotherly relationship before, they are bold!" Why, the ambush failed to kill you? ”

Dong Zhuo said that Ma Yue wanted to laugh, He Miao and He Jin were half-siblings, and they even changed their surnames after remarrying with their mothers, and they were originally called Zhu Miao. But Ma Yue couldn't laugh at all, and waved his hand weakly and said: "It's good to be so easy, that bastard got more than 200 assassins to chase and intercept him, and there are several strong crossbows hidden in the house, it was Cui Lie Cui Boss who saved me, so I escaped, but Boss Cui's family was implicated......

"Cui Lie will die for saving you?" Dong Zhuo knew Cui Lie's appearance too well, the old man was very strong as his name, and he said with an indescribable expression on his face: "It seems that you are very popular in Luoyang." ”

Ma Yue lowered his head, "On the contrary, in Luoyang today, I'm afraid that only Brother Zhong and all the brothers can communicate with him, and I can't trust any of the others." ”

"Why is that?"

"I have never been in contact with a scholar before, one of the two teachers is a self-proclaimed scholar, and the other is forced to live in exile for ten years, but the death of Cui Gong taught me to understand what a scholar is." Ma Yue squinted his eyes and looked at the west and said: "Shi is not only a kind of person, but also the Tao that people cherish in their hearts, respected, rich in life, your political views are not recognized by him, he will persuade you with political opinions in the court." Your deeds are unjust, and He crushes you with His deeds. Cui Gong didn't approve of my way of doing things, but he didn't think I was wrong. ”

"Ahh In short, we deserve to die or not, we are alive. Dong Zhuo sighed, looked left and right, his face was full of uninteresting, holding a carbon stick and playing around in the bonfire, "Don't worry so much, I don't have time for you and me to sigh, now that the He family and the Ten Standing Servants are finished, what are your plans?" ”

Ma Yue looked at the crowd on the martial arts arena, and the firelight reflected on the smiling faces of these black-and-red men, as if he was the only one with a low mind, shaking his head and saying: "I used to always think about bringing down the big tree of the He family, day and night. I always feel how difficult it is in my heart, and I see, who knows that in the end, it will be a matter of a few words in the end, and the He family is gone. But I knocked them down but I felt empty in my heart, Brother Zhong, you said that this person is not very interesting, others are blocking me everywhere, stumbling on me, but I have a good mind, no one is in front of me, but I have no energy. ”

"Hahaha! I don't understand what kind of scholar you said earlier, but this involves the art of war, so I want to talk to you about it. Dong Zhuo raised his head and laughed, and the bold laughter made the warriors on the martial arts field look sideways, and the fat hand said while provoking the bonfire: "This is the common technique used to besiege the city when attacking the city. ”

"This ......" Ma Yue frowned, what the encircler said was that the enemy must be left to survive, and the enemy at the end of the road had better not to chase it. What does this have to do with you? Suddenly, Ma Yue reacted, pushed Dong Zhuo and said, "Brother Zhong, you are scolding me for being a thief!" ”

Dong Zhuo is right, the method of training sergeants is thrown away in the military book, and the rest can be attributed to the art of people's hearts, when he was trapped in the Huangmen Temple Prison and waiting to die, the government and the opposition are in chaos, but it is not the end of the road, it is precisely because of this that he will desperately fight for a chance to live for himself, and the current situation ......

"San Lang, do you know how determined Dong was to raise troops to help you, do you know why? Just because you called Dong the second brother in that letter, not a former general, nor a countryman, but a brother. When you are in decline, you call you a certain brother, and the brother recognizes you. Now that you are in power, you still recognize your brother, so your brother has raised troops to help you. At the moment, you uproot the He family, assist the prince, and the prestige of the government and the opposition has been established, what do you want? ”

"Hey, you don't need to be so worried about being a child anymore. You can rest assured that the assistant government will kill his own brother who stands in the way! Dong Zhuo stood up with a bang, pulled off the armor buckle on his shoulder, let the armor fall down his waist, danced towards the martial arts arena with his fat belly, and shouted the desolate northwest cool tune loudly, and his bellows-like voice was full of desolation. The south of the battle city died in Guo Bei, and the wild death was not buried and edible, and it was called Wu Xi for me: and it was a guest! ”

"Babies, sing loudly!" Ma Yue was stunned for a moment, Guan Yu beside him drank the liquor, although his body did not move, the bamboo chopsticks in his hand knocked on the wine bowl to make a festival, and then the entire Liang Mansion became noisy, and the deafening south of the battle city resounded in Luoyang City tonight.

"If you don't bury the wild dead, can the carrion escape?"

The Hu people danced around the circle, like a beating bonfire, some sang Chinese words, some sang desolate Hu songs, and more people beat their beats and beat their strong bodies to the rhythm.

Ma Yue drank a bowl of wine, accompanied by a loud singing, and drunk under the stars and moon.
