Zhangjiachuan is lively today, the snow can't stop the crowd, and there are the shouts of Qianghu men and the neighing of horses everywhere. Ma Yue and his party galloped to the river, and they felt distressed when they looked at the light along the way.

"Don't freeze the horse's hooves on this cold day."

Ma Yue smiled quietly, just patted Ma Yu's shoulder, he knew that Ma Yu was not at ease along the way, not really worried that the horse's hooves would be frozen, but Jia Xu followed closely beside him, and he was nervous.

This man, who was like a poisonous snake, had already frightened the most terrifying horseman in Hanyang in the past without saying a word.

Just ran to the entrance of the walled city, and saw that today there were already people on the platform under the mountain walls on both sides to set fire, and when he looked around, he saw that Liu Bad was directing the people to burn this chisel, Ma Yue called Liu Bad and asked: "Why did the cold winter start in the wax moon, can the people stand it?" ”

"Oh, my subordinate Liu Bad congratulates the lord, hehe." Liu Bad took the white silk from the hand of the helper to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead, he was not wearing a crown belt in the cold winter wax moon, the top of his head was bubbling with mist, squinting and smiling: "I wonder where the fire is not roasting, this is the beginning of the people, the effect is good, Liangzhou is cold enough this day, the stone wall is frozen hard, and the fire bakes the axe like cutting tofu, so that the young general can repair the plank road at the entrance of the city before he goes to Luo." ”

Ma Yue looked left and right, the fire on both sides was vigorous, and dozens of stone caves with two people hugging each other had been dug between the cliffs, and the giant wood would be cut off and placed in it, and the arrow tower could be built on it immediately.

This Liu Bad is worthy of being the guy who dug the mausoleum for the first emperor, this ability is okay!

"Good job, if you need anything from the craftsman's side, go to my brother, how about the iron mine?" Ma Yue turned his head to the north, twenty miles north of the walled city in the mountains found some iron ore some time ago but could not find the mine, Ma Yue did not know what is happening now, said: "Whether the mine is found or not, you first start to get the iron-making division out there, I estimate that the mine will not be too far." ”

Liu Gang scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Lord, my subordinates have sent hundreds of people into the mountains these days, but they can't find any trace of the mine, and they can only pick up some on the ground. ”

"The platform can be smaller, but start recruiting craftsmen, don't be pressured, go back and I'll draw you a picture and make a tool to explore the ground. Rest assured, there will be iron. Ma Yue knew that as long as there was exposed iron ore on the surface, it meant that there were likely to be hidden ore veins underground, and he planned to draw a map similar to the Luoyang shovel and take a look at it underground, Ma Yue smiled and said: "How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?" However, the iron-making division is in charge of you and Pei Wenxiu, and salt and iron are one. ”

Say goodbye to Liu bad, Ma Yue rode straight into the village, now is different from the past, all the brothers are busy because of his affairs, Ma Yue on the road to say hello to them one by one, before arriving at the Zhangjiachuan General's Mansion dismounted, and said hello to the sergeant guarding the door before pushing the door in.

There are a lot of horses tied to the door, which is not surprising in Liangzhou, a place with many horses, but these horses are mostly Youzhou and Central Plains horses, which are different from the local, Ma Yue knew that there must be an acquaintance coming, and hurriedly went straight to the hall.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he heard a hearty laugh, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Yang Feng and others were all there, and there was even Uncle Wang Bin in person, and there were some people he didn't know, who were sitting in the hall chatting with Ma Teng, Liang Hu, Cai Yong and others.

Ma Yue could see that Ma Teng was a little restrained for some reason.

"Brother Meng De, Wen Ruo, it's been hard all the way." "Yang Taishou, Hu and Li, the two captains, Jun Hao is polite." "Uncle Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Your Majesty?"

Greeting him in one go, Ma Yue chatted with everyone in turn for two or three sentences, and then said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, do you know these people?" ”

"Haha, know, know. Come to Junhao and introduce your brother on your behalf. Cao Cao took Ma Yue's arm and laughed heartily, drawing everyone's attention to this side, and then stepped forward and said to a sixty-year-old man who was sitting and drinking opposite Cai Yong: "Lord Zhao, this is Meiyang Hou and Liangzhou Shepherd Junhao." Jun Hao, this is Zhao Qi Zhao Qingqing, the general Liang Ji era is the mainstay of the imperial court, once ordered the three provinces to open together, the first and state assassin history, because of the party and exempted, after the Yellow Turban when the imperial court was recruited as a Lang, at that time you led the troops to fight Jizhou, and then you came back Zhao Lord has been with the general Zhang Wen to conquer Han Sui, and then for Dunhuang Taishou. Han Sui spent several years in Liangzhou during the rebellion before returning to Chang'an. ”

Ma Yue looked at the old man in front of him, and sighed countless times in his heart. Cao Cao only said a few words, but he was full of sad vicissitudes. This is the old gentleman who has been called Luo Jing since the Liang Ji era, but he has been displaced for the country. Ma Yue silently pulled up his hair and tied it with a crown belt, smoothed his clothes, and bowed upright.

"Ma Yue, the next child, I have seen Lord Zhao."

"Brother Bo's good vision, this son will be a good husband in the future." Zhao Qi got up and picked up Ma Yue, the old man's arms were like dry bark, but they were full of strength, a pair of cloudy eyes looked directly at Ma Yue's emotions suddenly became very excited, almost rolling down tears, and asked: "Jun Hao, the old man only asks you one sentence, when will you be able to calm Han Sui?" ”

When will Han Sui be pacified? This can stop Ma Yue. He has no soldiers in his hands, and he will not be able to pass Ganxu, so he wants him to come up as an empty shell state to pacify Han Sui, isn't this a joke?

But in the face of such an old man, he couldn't say a word in his mouth.

"Back to the old man, with the soldiers who can fight in Liangzhou today, the generals who can be recruited, the wealth of the two counties, and the people of the three counties, it will be difficult to pacify more than ten thousand people in Han Sui, or five years, or ten years." Ma Yue said calmly, "Then stabbed Shi Gaigong first, guarded the four counties of Liangzhou, and died before the matter was finished." The younger generation only has the second county of Liangzhou today, and it should be the same, there is no grasp of defeating the enemy, only the determination to become benevolent. Cool things, never die. ”

Ma Yue spoke calmly, but the ruthlessness in his words shook everyone's hearts, Zhao Qi's trembling hand stroked Ma Yue's shoulder, patted it lightly, did not speak, but there were turbid tears in the corners of his eyes, and Cai Yong on the side hurriedly persuaded him when he saw this.

Cao Cao came over with his hand and motioned for Ma Yue to bow down, and whispered: "Lord Zhao was taken captive by the rebels when he was too punctual in Dunhuang before, and was almost killed by the rebels. I feel the disaster in Liangzhou, and my emotions are agitated for a while, which is really difficult. ”

Ma Yue nodded and did not speak.

Liang Hu squinted at Zhao Qi, and never spoke, it stands to reason that Zhao Qi was Liang Ji's protégé, but because of Liang Ji's dictatorship, the two looked at each other wrongly.

Then, Cao Cao introduced Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Jianshou and others to Ma Yue, this kid had already sat down with Dong Zhuo to eat meat and drink a lot, watching the Qiang men fight hand-to-hand is very interesting, obviously a man who grew up in Liangzhou.

"San Lang, you may not know, Lord Zhao has compiled a book of "Sanfu Decision", which should have included you, and your reputation is afraid that it will be commented on by future generations!" Cao Cao was a little envious, his eyebrows fluttered, and he said in an instant, but a little lonely: "On the other hand, as a brother, now he has no great talent, and he is really ashamed to waste his time." ”

Now it was Ma Yue's turn to be surprised, Cao Cao would feel that he had done nothing? Ma Yue hurriedly said: "How can this be, Brother Meng De opened up the territory and expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty, and he deserves to be famous for a hundred years, and now that my brother is not in the same year, it is a good year to make contributions, why do you feel like twilight?" ”

"Alas, after you left Luoyang, the imperial court cut off the food and salary for Xianping County, where it is now all run by General Huangfu alone, and there is no food and no salary, so it is better for you to be in Liangzhou." Cao Cao said with some indignation: "The highway is also confused, why do you want to raise troops to exile you from Luoyang, the Han is just waiting to be rebuilt, and it is simply rebellious to raise troops without authorization." Now the Yuan family is a new Shangshu Ling, the highway in the court received your former Guanglu Xun position, a few days ago also drafted a warrant, inviting me back to Luoyang, what Jiuqing's position is vacant, this world chaos, I think it is out of the Yuan family. ”

Saying that, Cao Cao seemed to think of something, and said to Ma Yue: "By the way, after you came back from Luoyang, Zhao Jin, the military captain of the West Garden, was deposed and demoted to a concubine. ”

"Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin." Ma Yue shook his head, when he came back, he didn't have time to gather troops, how many old friends and protégés were stranded in Luoyang, and now Cheng Li didn't know if he was okay, he only knew that he went back to Dongjun to recruit troops for himself, hoping that he would receive the news to disperse the soldiers and horses and keep himself safe. Ma Yue came to his senses, pulled Cao Cao Xunyu to sit down beside him, and asked, "Then what are Brother Mengde's plans, and Wen Ruo, do you want to go back to Luoyang to be an official?" ”

"Liangzhou is the time when everything is in ruins, I have a reluctant request for my brother, I want to see if there is anything I can help with here, Wen Ruo is probably not good, he has his own ideas." Cao Cao asked with a smile: "San Lang, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao, Cao Cao, fuck Cao Cao is going to ask for an official position under Lao Tzu! Ma Yue's heart was about to jump out of his heart excitedly, but in an instant, he calmed down as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, and he shook his head at Cao Cao with difficulty.

"With the talent of the elder brother, if it is for the state capital, the younger brother should be swept away to greet him, and it doesn't matter if he gives up the position of state pastor. There is no doubt that my brother has a talent for helping the world. Ma Yue shook his head and said to Cao Cao sincerely: "Brother Meng De, you are the elder brother of the next generation, and your talent and learning are also greatly admired by the next generation, and it is the half of the "Commentary on Sun Tzu" that has made me know how many lives I have picked up over the years. But in all fairness, the brother's talent is committed to Liangzhou, which is too condescending. Brother, don't be in a hurry to speak, I know you have always wanted to be a general of Zhengxi, but please be fair, brother, does Dahan need to be a general of Zhengxi now? Look at the world now! ”

"Liu Yan of the Southern Beneficial Prefecture, relying on the six ways of Qinchuan to attack and kill the Han envoys, in the name of the state pastor, carried out the secession. And there is Ding Yuan, hoping to have Han Fu to connect Montenegro and not respect the king's order. I won't talk about Nanyang Yuan Highway, who doesn't know Yuan's heart? Youzhou Gongsun Zan is also not a tiger and wolf, and if he is not Liu Yuke's envoy, he will change for a long time. Ma Yue looked at Cao Cao and said with burning eyes: "Then there are Liangzhou Ma Junhao and Han Wenyue, how many people in this world are separating in the name of respecting the Han, Your Majesty is still young, and Yuan's edict can only control himself!" ”

"Brother Meng De, in this world, one Ma Junhao is not enough. What do you think you should do? General Zhengxi? Ma Yue's words were a little ridiculous, and he was even counted among them. Mengde, Mengde, the world is counting on my generation to calm down, how can your great husband be content like this? ”

Later, many years later, Cao Cao remembered that on this day Ma Yue said to him: Mengde, Mengde, go and pacify the world.
