Chapter 1 The Prince of Liangguo

In the blink of an eye, ten years of horses, when the horse's hooves set foot on the familiar land again, the horse played with the heart that had been hanging outside, and finally let go.

Conquering the countries of the Western Regions and reopening the capital of the Western Regions, Su Ze, who gave up the post of Jiuquan Taishou and followed the horse to play away from the Western Regions, was promoted by him as the new capital of the Western Regions, controlling the 27 countries of the Western Regions, and taking charge of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions is a land full of uncertainties, relying on prestige, the Han army can easily raise more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, but it is also possible to attack and defend in a few breaths, and be besieged by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. All of these things are possible.

When he left Liangzhou, he was still the youngest general in Liangzhou, and he wanted to go on an expedition to the Western Regions, settle down in that exotic land, and maybe never return.

When he was young, he always couldn't think about many things clearly, and in the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed, and he just wants to return to his homeland and see his brother who once fought side by side with him.

Liangzhou is home.

I don't know what happened to his brothers, and I don't know what the young man he once followed, the young man who was already called His Royal Highness King Liang, looks like now.

……

In the long yellow sand of Wuwei, a team of fierce cavalry is hurrying away, these knights covered in iron armor are equipped with the best armor and sabers in the entire Liang country, and the strong bow carried in the horse's hip bag can shoot down the eagle eagle in the sky. They have a unified name, the Liang King's Armored Army.

This army, which has disappeared in the Central Plains for more than ten years, once shocked the world, representing the most powerful armament in the whole world that year, and their ancestors in the army once defeated the princes of the world...... But now, this 300-strong Liang King's armored army is only protecting a few children.

Yes, in the vast desert, these three hundred cavalry king armor army steadily protected the three children in the middle, and the three children seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of protection, and there was not the slightest inappropriateness in their expressions, but they cheered and jumped as if they were playing in the mountains and rivers.

"Oh! Finally, you don't have to look at the old master's face, Ah Dull, how good you say Longdu is, why did my father send you back to Bingzhou? The one of the three children is tall, but he is almost seven feet tall when he is more than ten years old, wearing a white brocade robe, covered with a finely carved black armor piece on his chest, carrying a small saber in his arms, and a jingling accessory echoing with the crisp sound of the luan bell pacing the horse, turning his head to ask the little friend behind him, showing two dimples between his smiles, and his red mouth and white teeth are very handsome, "I often hear business travelers say that Luoyang is the most prosperous capital in the world, is it more prosperous than Longdu?" ”

Behind him, there was a sturdy little fat man riding a red horse, also dressed in a brocade robe, with armor that connected half an arm, the exposed arms were very strong, and the horse's hips carried two small bows and four quivers, and his face was so high and deep that he was actually a face with a bit of Hu blood, with a somewhat fierce appearance between his eyebrows, but his movements were very gentle, gently patting the neck of the mount, and he turned over vigorously and fed the water bladder to his horse first, and then drank two sips of the water bladder to his own horse, and then drank two sips of the mouth, and unpretentiously pursed his mouth with his sleeves, Only then did he grin and said: "Where will we know about the affairs of the adults, in fact, I don't want to go back to Bingzhou, how can I come to play with you for such a long way!" ”

As he spoke, the little fat man shrank his neck, looked left and right, and whispered to the young man at the head: "Brother Qing, you said that we secretly ran out of the house, and we wouldn't catch Uncle Liangwang back, right?" ”

"Hahaha, Dong Blunt, what are you afraid of doing? If your uncle is to blame, you can say that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World brought us out, and let's just watch King Liang beat the Prince on the side! As soon as Dong Dut's words fell, a young man behind him who was in the same attire, with a similar age and temperament but completely different from the two, laughed loudly, different from Dong and Ma's extravagance, this young man's hair did not have a well-combed bun, but was tied up with a brocade, but he had the appearance of a noble son on the street, lying on the back of the horse and pointing at Ma Qing and laughing: "When was the last time King Liang beat Ma Qing?" The year before last, right? ”

"It's not proper, then Brother Qing should be cleaned up by King Liang again." Dong Yu shook his head a little angrily and said to Ma Qing as if he had made up his mind: "Brother Qing, if you go back to King Liang, if you blame him, you can say it, just say that I took you out...... His Royal Highness King Liang shouldn't beat me, right? ”

"Jiang Wei, shut up! Mention that matter again, Ma pulled out your skin! Liang Wang Shizi, who was still smiling happily with red mouth and white teeth, suddenly changed his face, he didn't listen to what Dong Yu said, his white face turned red with shame in an instant, and he raised his horsewhip and pointed at the young man named Jiang Wei to chase after him, "Don't run, don't run!" ”

"Hahaha! Didn't you just go to Fengtinghou's house to peek at Sister Xiang'er taking a bath, why didn't you let me say it? Jiang Wei had already prepared where to ask Ma Qing to catch up, and in an instant, he galloped out of more than ten steps, and his superb riding skills were not at all what Ma Qing's three-legged cat could catch, and he turned around and taunted Ma Qing while running in front: "Let Fengting Hou Ti slip and throw it to the Liangwang Mansion, and he was chased by the Liangwang for three miles, who is it?" Ouch! ”

Jiang Wei was running in front of him, but he was caught off guard by Ma Qing, who was annoyed and angry, threw the small saber with the scabbard to the back of his head, and Ma Qing, who had been learning to throw spears with Master An all the year round, threw things within thirty steps than the hand crossbow made by the Liangguo Iron Smelting Division.

Fengting Marquis Yang Feng, in the early years for the Liang King to make great contributions to the great achievements were not rewarded, Jian'an three years to add Fengting Marquis.

"Qing'er, don't make trouble!" Several teenagers were running wildly in the desolate desert, and the guards of the Covered Armor Army were no longer surprised by this, but then a man in the guards who was shrouded in the armor of the Covered Army General Colonel paced the horse for a few steps, and stopped the three of them from continuing to mess around.

"Brother Tie, Jiang Wei is laughing at me!" Ma Qing was full of anger on his face, but he had to rein in his horse and go back, Ma Qing was not afraid of anyone in the entire Liang country, but only two people, one was his father Liang Wang Ma Yue, and the other was his brother Ma Tie, who had been by his side since he was a child.

Ma Tie hugged his arms around his chest, waved his hand and ordered the guards to get off their horses and rest, warning Ma Qing and the three not to mess around, while he sat cross-legged in the long yellow sand and fell into deep thought.

In the blink of an eye, I have been caring for these three children for ten years. If ordinary people in Liangguo heard the unscrupulous fairy tales in the mouths of these three children, they were afraid that they would be frightened, what kind of person is Yang Feng, Marquis of Fengting, who dares to peek at his daughter taking a bath...... These three boys are the national treasures of the Liang Kingdom, the heart of His Royal Highness the King of Liang!

Needless to say, Ma Qing is the only son of King Liang, and in the future, he will reach Tongguanxi in the east and 7,000 miles from the green mountains to Liangguo, which is his land. Dong Yu is the only son of Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Bingzhou, the only son of the largest prince of Liangguo, his father is famous and guarded Bingzhou for ten years to teach Xianbei people not to enter, and even took the land of three counties from the north, which can be said to be the pillar of Liangguo. It's Jiang Wei, but one of the four surnames of Hanyang in the past, Jiang is an heir to the partial house, his father died for the Liang King's conquest, and I don't know how good the Liang King was that day, a sentence changed the life of this child named Jiang Wei, and gave him the same treatment as the son of the world, and studied with the descendants of the best generals of the Liang Kingdom in the state school, and the food and housing were the same specifications as the son, and he was the righteous son of the King of Liang.

In this way, the three children who were only ten years old, each of them were in charge of a hundred cavalry Liangguo's most elite Liangwang armored army as a guard, and even asked him, the former major general of Liangzhou, to personally watch over their growth.

Ma Tie was not appointed by King Liang to be the commander of their personal guard, originally Ma Yue meant to use Guan Ping to take this position, but he was selected after Ma Tie's repeated insistence.

The death of his brother Ma Xiu was too big a blow to Ma Tie, and since then Ma Tie has no intention of fighting, let alone fighting for power and profit, he just wants to be close to what he can to stabilize the Liang Kingdom and maintain stability for a long time. Liang Guo doesn't need strong generals anymore, and there is no need for resourceful strategists, the stability that Liang Guo needs most is the life of Ma's descendants is the biggest unstable factor in Ma Tie's eyes.

As long as the Ma clan is still alive, the Liang Kingdom will not be finished.

"Brother, there's going to be a sandstorm, let's avoid it." Ma Qing glared at Jiang Wei, who was leading the horse, and walked to Ma Tie's side with Dong Yu and said, "The herald guards are all ready." ”

"How do you know?" Ma Tie's musings were interrupted by Ma Qing, who got up and rubbed his head and said, "You studied well in the state, you can also see this?" ”

Ma Tie found that there would be a sandstorm in the desert when the three brothers were fighting, so he ordered the whole army to garrison the horses, and at that moment, the three hundred cavalry guards took out the warm equipment they carried to surround the horses in a large circle, and the people were prepared to cover them together with quilts, and even Ma Qing and the three of them joined the ranks.

Ma Qing smiled at Ma Tie while laying a quilt and holding a water bladder: "Brother, don't underestimate me, except for hand-to-hand combat, I am a first-class in all subjects, ranking first in state studies!" ”

"Then why aren't you first-class in hand-to-hand combat? His Royal Highness King Liang was invincible in Luoyang in his early years. Ma Tie smiled, and led Ma Qing and the three of them into the circle formed by the three hundred horsemen, lying on the ground in the middle, covering the quilt on his body, and grabbing the quilt next to him. Each armored rider is average, connecting the quilts together, and in an instant nothing can be seen, people can only hear the voice, in the darkness Ma Tie heard Ma Qing said nonchalantly: "No way, the opponent drawn is A Dull, I can't beat him, and he was rated as hand-to-hand combat B by Pingxianghou." ”

Pingxiang Marquis Guan Yu Guan Yunchang is one of the few princes in the Liang Kingdom.

Ma Tie smiled, these boys followed the best teachers in the whole Liang country, Mr. Hand Fight is Ma Chao, Cai Yong is the Confucian Classic, the military strategy is Han Wenyue, the master of strategy is Jia Xu, and the governance follows Cheng Li to learn...... Even the active generals of Liangguo, Taishou, may not be able to compete in knowledge beyond these five years old and began to follow the study, and it is strange not to take a few first-class exams.

"Brother, let's go see Uncle Ma in Zhengxi, but I have never seen Uncle Ma, I heard my father say that this saber was left to me by Uncle Ma before leaving, you can tell us the story of Uncle Ma." Ma Qing held his head in the sand and played with the luxurious saber, and said to Ma Tie: "My father said that Uncle Ma is his brother, but I have also heard that Uncle Ma is not our Ma family, but if it is not the Ma family, why should the surname be Ma?" ”

"Uncle Ma, his story is going to be told from the beginning, it will be very long...... But it's okay that sandstorms can last a long time. Ma Tie cleared his throat and said: "I heard that Uncle Ma is an orphan, and your uncle met in the robe on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, it was a long, long time ago, when there was no Liang Kingdom, and your father was only as old as you......"
