It's no wonder that Liu Bao treats Ma Yue as a reckless man, how many people in the entire Luoyang City don't regard Ma Yue as a reckless man from Liangzhou?

With the brand of Liangzhou people on his body, he didn't become famous for doing some small things, but the big things he did were all brave, what could he do.

This is a bad thing, it will make others think that he is a brainless brave man, and thus lose the opportunity to contact meritocracy.

It's also a good thing, the courage of the horseman has become his protective color.

Since Liu Bao came to visit once, he has become a frequent visitor to the Liang Mansion, and it lasted until the Shangyuan Festival, and almost every afternoon he came to Ma Yue to chat with him, sometimes reading together, and more often learning the piano together.

At this time, Ma Yue realized that Liu Bao, this guy, not only came to make friends with him, but also came to find Cai Yan. As soon as Ma Yue sent Wei Zhongdao away, there was another rival in the house.

However, it is obvious that Liu Bao cares about his feelings very much, and in fact, Ma Yue hopes that Liu Bao will learn the piano with him.

Ma Yue is five big and three thick, and Liu Bao is not bad, but a little lower than him. Moreover, Liu Bao didn't know anything about the Chinese qin, and he learned it slower than himself, obviously because he had never been exposed to Han musical instruments before, and he learned the Chinese qin just to get close to Cai Yan.

People, they are all compared. When Wei Zhongdao was there, Ma Yue was always unwelcome, and when Liu Bao came, it suddenly seemed that Ma Yue's qualifications for playing the piano were not so bad.

Until the Shangyuan Festival, Ma Yue's piano skills did not improve significantly. Just like his archery skills, the best stone Qiang bow was torn off four by him, and he barely managed to achieve sixty steps, ten shots and four hits.

This is the accuracy rate, but Ma Yue now has a deep understanding of how good the bow and arrow are.

The strength of the Yishi Qiang bow was extremely strong, and with a thornless wooden arrow, he could shoot an arrow to the city wall at the end of Xuanwu Street, three hundred and fifty paces away.

Of course, an arrow does not have any target, and the bow is broken after it is fired.

Three hundred and fifty steps, that's a distance of nearly five hundred meters.

If you change to a recurve bow made of carefully selected six materials, such as expensive Zhemu, the bow power is only afraid that it can shoot a distance of more than 600 steps with a single arrow.

This Qiang bow is a hunting bow and arrow made by the Qiang people with a primitive method, which is cheap and easy to use.

Ma Yue wanted to spend a few years making a few strong bows suitable for his own strength. Of course, even if he did, it would be at least until he could reach the level of shooting seven out of ten in 100 steps, it was still too early to talk about this, his knowledge of the bow was almost equivalent to that of a thirteen-year-old young man of the Qiang people.

The idle time flies by, and after the Shangyuan Festival, Ma Yue is about to prepare to set off.

During these days, in addition to practicing martial arts and bows, playing the piano and reading, the biggest thing Ma Yue did was to integrate the local strategic map of the vicinity of Luoyang and the three prefectures of Hebei, Yanyu and Henan, which was the treasure at the bottom of his box.

In order for the generals to know astronomy and geography, Ma Yue is still far from this indicator, and can only try his best to make up for it. After paying a lot of life and death, he finally passed the stage where he needed to go into battle and worked hard, and his chances of survival were a little more.

His goal is to be the commander's lieutenant general the next time he leads the troops to the battle, learn to command the army and strategize with the commander. For the independent battle of 1,800 people, although Ma Yue does not have much attainment, he is also familiar with the road, and he can fight a battle well, but he is still much worse than commanding an army and winning as surely as Huangfu Song.

Arrange troops and face each other against each other, this is his weakness. He has only served as a flanker or vanguard, and has never been a member of the Chinese army, although he has read some books, but he is still far from the command of the Chinese army.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to go to Youzhou, he planned to outline the terrain of the mountains and rivers along the way, and if he saw more, he would naturally keep it in his mind.

Even if he knew that he might not have a chance to fight in Youzhou for the rest of his life.

Liu Bao embarked on the road back to the Southern Xiongnu before Ma Yue, and the Liang Mansion and his party were also preparing to set off and leave Luoyang.

In the huge Luoyang Liang Mansion, there were some guards left, Yan Xing's sister and nephew, Cai Yan and a slave. Heifu and Liu Dalang became the people in charge of the house, managing the size of the family.

Youzhou!

It was a place that none of these people had ever been, and Ma Yue said goodbye to Cai Yan very reluctantly, and left the house with An Mu and the others. Luoyang Liang Mansion, this is the second place that brings Ma Yue's family feelings, and now he is leaving again, this time he has to leave thousands of miles away, I am afraid that he will be delayed there for a while, Ma Yue is a little reluctant in his heart. Of course, the most reluctant is Cai Yan.

At such an age, one thought is a husband, and this is the best age, but it is also the saddest age.

Out of Luoyang City, several of Liang Hu's friends bid farewell in the east of the city.

Liang Hu's friends are very interesting, all of them are Shizhong, Shangshu, Fengche Duwei and the like, and they have their own characteristics in high positions.

Serving Jiang Lan, Liu Hong's royal painter, has extraordinary pen power. Everywhere he went, he carried a painting box on his back, ready to paint a pair at any time, and the two mustaches on the side of his mouth were like two paintbrushes, hanging on the side of his mouth, bringing a little funny to the temperament of this middle-aged painter who pretended to be serious.

Ren Zhi in the waiter, Liu Hong's royal luthier, the sound of the piano can be channeled, but it is just flattering, not only Liu Hong, but also the ten permanent servants and others are the objects of his stammering.

Shangshu Jia Hu, the first chess player of the Han Dynasty, can only play chess without asking about the world.

Fengche Du Wei Lesong, who is proficient in poetry and songs, and is also familiar with bow horses, is a rare talent in both civil and military affairs around Liu Hong.

Just such people, it can't be said that they have no talent, but they put their main energy on currying favor with Liu Hong, and they are all in the positions of real power but do not do serious things, and they have no ambitions, how can it not be the sorrow of these extremely popular ministers.

Jiang Lan painted a painting "Farewell to Liang Youzhou", and Ren Zhi played an ancient tune to send it off.

Ma Yue and An Mu led twenty Lijing retinues and Liang Hu, Cheng Li, Cheng Wu and others to embark on the road to Youzhou.

This journey is hundreds of miles, Ma Yue doesn't know what Youzhou is waiting for him, and everyone doesn't understand.

They had never been to Youzhou, and all they had with them was a map and the seal of the assassin.

It was a bad time, banditry, camping, cold, hunger. Every long journey may be a parting of life and death, yin and yang.

This is also a good era, let people cherish it more, gather a glass of wine with joys and sorrows, and the future is uncertain in Ma Yue's view, but a trip of fresh clothes and angry horses!

Note: The recurve bow can indeed shoot a distance of nearly a kilometer after pulling on the stone. After the Han Dynasty, the recurve compound bow was already used, and the limit range of 600 steps was taken in the book.

In the Han Dynasty, one step was six feet, and one foot was 23 centimeters. 100 steps is 138 meters.
