If this banquet of the Wuji Zhen family brought any feelings to Ma Yue, the biggest feeling was the ruthlessness of the years.

Zhen Yan sat opposite him and toasted him frequently, as well as the third son of Zhen next to him, who always had a straight face...... During the Yellow Turban period, the person in charge of this dock fort was still Zhen Yi, at that time Zhen Yi was the year of his establishment, at that time, Ma Yue was a weak crown, and he was the captain of Changshui on the battlefield in Jizhou, and he was in a high position at a young age, so he often put himself with those older generations. And now it was an awkward age, and to the younger he could still be commensurate with the brother of the corporal, and he was a generational disturber.

"When I was young, I always heard people mention the name of Ma Changshui, and later you became the only prince of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years...... Ah Yao, please toast to King Liang! Zhen Yan kept glancing at his brother with his eyes, for fear that his younger brother would be disrespectful and irritate King Liang, and he didn't know what kind of hysteria the third child had committed today, but he always kept a straight face like a funeral, which was annoying.

Zhen Yao seemed to be distracted, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother, what did you say?" ”

"Toast! King Liang came from afar, how can you not fulfill the friendship of the landlord? Hearing his brother say this, Zhen Yao smiled stiffly, and arched his hand and said: "Please forgive His Royal Highness King Liang, I am not strong enough to drink today, it is better for you to choose a sharp warrior as a companion, and dance for His Highness in the next wish to take the sword!" ”

Ma Yue looked at Zhen Yao and smiled.

To be honest, Ma Yue knows too well what Zhen Yao's young head is thinking, and a fool can see that this third child of the Zhen family doesn't like him very much. Wasn't Ma Yue always like this when he was young, he was born with a hostility towards the so-called 'big shots', and he didn't flatter him at all. But to put it mildly, compared to Zhen Yan, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, he really prefers the young and vigorous Zhen Yao, compared to this younger brother, being an elder brother is too serious and old, but he has no sharpness.

In the final analysis, this feeling is probably like Dong Zhuo's feelings about Ma Yue when he was young, this kid's temperament is somewhat similar to his own youth.

"Zhen Yao, the third son of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, the young man tasted Luojing, and Yu Taixue was a living being." Ma Yue said with a smile: "I heard that you are a master of archery, and your swordsmanship will not be bad if you think about it." Why don't you dance with Wanning when you're the same age as Wanning? ”

Ma Yue didn't have the slightest malice, and he didn't want to come to the door to be this villain, even if Zhen Yao didn't like him very much, he didn't care. To be honest, there are many ways for him to hurt Zhen Yao, and he doesn't even need to do anything, just simply calling him a 'virtuous nephew' is derogatory enough. But he didn't want to do that, although he knew that Zhen Yao was playing a little abacus in his heart, he still smiled and agreed, and then pointed out Wanning and Zhen Yao dancing with a sword.

Wan Ning took the strip of cloth on the side, tied his sleeves, took the Han sword in his hand with a smile on his face, and walked around a few cases to the middle of the hall. Zhen Yan was afraid that the third brother would make a mistake in the sword dance, so he hurriedly got up to stop Zhen Yao, who was walking away with the sword, turned to Ma Yue and bowed his hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, there is no need for the sword dance, the sword will inevitably hurt the harmony without eyes." ”

"Brother Zhen doesn't have to worry, it's just a sword dance and not a sword fight, so it won't hurt anyone." Ma Yue raised the wine bottle and smiled at the generals, and said loudly: "Gambling on wine and dancing swords is a happy event in life!" ”

Ma Chao Ganning, who was sitting next to Ma Yue, laughed when he heard this, and the Zhen clan people opposite had somewhat unnatural faces. This can't be helped, for the cool man on Ma Yue's side, licking blood from the knife edge is the norm of life, every time the horn sounds, it means that the ghost gate is closed again, fighting swords and dancing swords? That's child's play! But the world in the eyes of the Zhen clan is not like this, they have lived peacefully under the protection of the Zhen family for many years, and the biggest contradiction is just the trivial things in the neighborhood of the Li family, the owner of the family. In their opinion, the matter of life and death is only in the conversation after tea and dinner, and they can occasionally think of the fire of war that is not far away.

These samurai were the adventurers of this era, tying their heads around their waists to compete for the glory of dominating the world.

With the exchange of swords and shields, Wan Ning and Zhen Yao danced swords in the hall, Zhen Yan always stared at Wan Ning's body with a pair of eyes, for fear that he would accidentally hurt his little brother. But fortunately, although Wan Ning has a ruthless temperament, he only treats the enemy, and this will not be the case for Zhen, the spokesperson of the Liang Kingdom in Jizhou in the future. Ma Yue put down the wine bottle, called Zhen to get a few wine bowls from them, and explained to Zhen Yan with a smile: "When I was young, I was in Liangzhou, and my brothers were already old enough to fight in war, but I couldn't even ride a war horse. You don't have to worry too much, young people can't live under the protection of their brothers, if it weren't for the defeat of the war between the Han and Xianbei, there might not be today's Liangguo. ”

Gan Ning didn't know what Ma Yue was talking about, but Ma Chao knew a little bit about it, and it sounded endlessly embarrassing. That year, the Han army went north to fight against Xianbei, and the family had no pillars, and the uncle went to Zhangshan to chop firewood and was bitten half dead by a big wolf, and led the evil young Chinese New Year's Eve in the countryside to ride out of the state...... For more than 20 years, he has fought from a small body to the present, and has established a vast Liang country and an immortal honor.

Qingwei's wine was poured into the wine bowl, Ma Yue didn't care about the sword dance of the two at all, and didn't even turn his eyes, but said to Zhen Yanzheng who was sitting next to the next few cases: "It was Ma's uncle who came a few days ago, and I heard that his negotiation with Brother Zhen was not pleasant, but after all, it was for Liangguo and Ma, and you also know that fighting outside is always a big problem." ”

"In any case, Brother Zhen's righteousness and squandering wealth have relieved Ma Mou's worries about fighting with General Gongsun, this bowl of wine, I will respect Brother Zhen, may my two families be friendly for generations, may Jizhou win a great victory, teach Brother Zhen to truly become the lord of Zhongshan, please drink!"

"Thank you, King Liang!" Zhen Yan was a little flattered by Ma Yue's toast, he never thought that Ma Yue was such an easy person to get along with, if he had known what else he needed to think about, he would have been wrapped up in the whole clan and thrown himself under his command! Hurriedly held the wine bottle with both hands and said: "King Liang's words are serious, it is the blessing of the Zhen family to be able to help King Liang, and a little grain and grass is nothing." I don't hide it, I'm afraid you'll laugh, there have been many droughts over the years, and Zhen's every year in Zhongshan to give porridge and put grain to consume grain, grass and money, that's all. ”

"Gold and silver are precious in troubled times, and it is really a blessing for Zhongshan for Brother Zhen to have such insight and mind and help the people with food." If the previous view of Zhen Yan was just a subordinate, now Ma Yue has some respect in his heart, in this world, people have no way to protect themselves, Zhen Yan can protect the whole clan and help the people of Zhongshan, which is also a great good.

"I'm ashamed to say that Zhen didn't have this mind and insight, in the early years, it was nothing more than at the order of the old lady, and when the troubled times came, a large amount of money and grain were collected, and people sought to save their lives, so they exchanged the grain for gold and silver, and started a business." Zhen Yan shook his head and said: "Thanks to the little sister, I persuaded the old lady and Zhen to seek treasure in troubled times, which is the next step." The husband was innocent and guilty, so he said that he would give gold, silver, and grain to the people. Because of this, when General Gongsun attacked Zhongshan in the previous round, the people who had received the favor of the Zhen family from all over the country rushed to Wuji to defend the city together, which preserved the clan. ”

Little sister and little sister, isn't it Zhen Ji?

Ma Yue has heard too much of this name these days, but at this time he only has admiration and admiration in his heart, while holding a wine bowl to let the sergeant standing behind him pour wine, he nodded to Zhen Yan and said: "Strange woman, this is a mind that men don't have, Brother Zhen has a sister like this, it's a blessing." ”

Just when Ma Yue and Zhen Yan were chatting here, the strange woman Zhen Mi in their mouth was pretending to be a maid standing behind Zhen Yan, secretly observing Ma Yue.

Which woman in the world doesn't care about Xu Haojie, and which one doesn't love talents? In the house, I heard people outside talking about the fact that my brother might promise himself to Ma Yue, although Ma Yue was almost old enough not to be confused, Zhen Mi still wanted to see for himself, what kind of owner this name that people would feel afraid when they heard it.

Zhen Mi has not seen many men, and there are even fewer men who can compare with Ma Yue in terms of prestige, but she has seen Yuan Shao. When Yuan Zhen's two families were married, she had seen the appearance of Yuan Shao and Yuan Ergongzi, which were a father and son who could be remembered deeply in her mind at a glance from afar. The god-like face and compelling nobility make people unforgettable, and the etiquette that seeps into the bones of speech and demeanor is still deeply remembered ten years later.

Based on this alone, Ma Yue is not as good as them, and even if this man from a cool background is only below the emperor now, he still reveals a little reckless color. Bold, generous, and informal. This is a completely different feeling from the Yuan father and son, the killing spirit between the eyebrows is a little frightening, just by looking at it, Zhen Mi remembered a word...... One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

She seemed to see Ma Yue trampling on the sea of corpses and bones.

At this moment, a Liangguo soldier ran in small steps outside the hall, raised his eyes and saw Ma Yue talking with his master, he didn't dare to disturb, walked to Ma Chao's side and whispered a few words, Ma Chao got up and walked out of the hall, and after a while, he walked to Ma Yue with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and said, "Uncle, Yizhou war report." ”

"Oh?" Ma Yue took the bamboo slip and opened it in front of him, without avoiding Zhen Yan and the others. The battle report of Liang Guo is very interesting, no matter where Ma Yue goes, the battle report must be sent to wherever he is, no matter what Liang Wang is doing, he must receive the battle report in person. Although the battle report of the long journey is not time-sensitive at all, it is still necessary for the supreme leader to have a clear understanding of the war situation in various places in order to clear the hidden dangers for the next strategic deployment. "Don't let the messenger go, let me see first."

Open the bamboo slips, Hanshui failed. Dong Zhuo's warship was blocked by Sun's fleet at the beginning of the Han River, and there were losses in a fierce battle, but due to intelligence errors, no one in Liangguo knew that Sun had surrendered the pirate Xuezhou, and the water ghosts under his command scuttled Dong Zhuo's more than ten large ships, with nearly 1,000 casualties.

"Brother Zhong should make the soldiers and horses disembark and retreat to the east bank of the Han River in order to attack the land camp of the Jiangdong Army, our naval army is weak, don't fight with it, no one on the ground is our opponent." Ma Yue pondered for a moment and said to Ma Chao: "Order Guan Yunchang, rectify the soldiers and prepare to go south, and take the head of General Gongsun...... By the way, let the brother who reported the news have a full meal before going on the road. ”

After that, Ma Yue handed the bamboo slip to Ma Chao, and then turned around and smiled at Zhen Yan as if nothing had happened: "Brother Zhen, it's time for us to talk about business, in the next war, what help can Brother Zhen give me, and what can I do for Brother Zhen?" ”
