"Welcome the morning light of the grassland and breathe new air. The grassland is full of green sand and sea, and the crisp tea is full of friendship. The gate of Wuwei is always open, and I am waiting for you right away. Once you've had a drink, you'll fall in love with it...... Welcome to Wuwei! ”

Zhao Yun was woken up by the neighing of the war horses outside the tent and the beautiful singing of the girls, he rubbed his eyes and stretched, and slowly walked out of the tent, suddenly deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

It is now the early winter of the second year of Yong'an, and the first snow in Wuwei has not yet arrived.

At the beginning of winter, the distant mountains are clothed in the color of the morning glow, the milk-white clouds on the horizon are also dyed as bright red as maple leaves, and the vast grassland is endless, shrouded in a faint red halo.

The melodious sound of the horse-head piano, the fragrant butter tea wrapped in the morning breeze, the cattle and sheep snorting and roaming the wilderness, and the sturdy young men and youthful little girls galloped back and forth on horses, wielding whips and singing songs.

A vast scene of the sky and wilderness, just pondering, a war horse has a long roar galloping, before the war horse stopped, Ma Yunlu, dressed in ethnic minority style, also jumped down from the horse and landed firmly on Zhao Yun's side: "Brother Zhao, did you rest well last night?" ”

Last night, the arrival of Zhao Yun, Gao Ran, and Fu Zhi caused a lot of commotion on the grassland.

After all, Zhao Yun's reputation has also been won step by step, Ping Huang Turban, saving the Young Emperor, and fighting Lu Bu, isn't that part familiar to everyone? Especially when I heard the clansmen who went with me talk about Zhao Yun saving Miss Zhao Yun to serve the white wolf, and fighting with the young general for dozens of rounds, everyone was even more full of stars, and surrounded Zhao Yun with a pot of wine, and handed over to Zhao Yun a pot of wine.

Zhao Yun originally adhered to the general order not to drink alcohol in the army, but the sentence in his ear was frustrated, "Follow the customs of the country, Liangzhou men respect both heroes and good men who drink" dispelled Zhao Yun's thoughts, and simply opened his belly and refused to come, until he was drunk.

Hearing Ma Yunlu's greeting, Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples with a headache: "Zhao has never drunk so much wine in his life, and I don't know what happened to Gonghe and Mr. Wen Huan last night?" ”

"When I passed by Mr. Gonghe's tent just now, I heard that Mr. Gong and Mr. Wen Huan had just gotten up."

"Hmm! What about the little wolf? ”

"What's it? I went to watch the slaughter of sheep and cook cattle again! ”

Onlookers? This guy is stealing meat and eating it!

"Let's go, Miss Ma..."Zhao Yun shook his head, but saw that Ma Yunlu's phoenix eyes were full of murderous aura, and he hurriedly changed his words, "Can Yunlu take me to meet Mr. Gonghe?" ”

"Hmph, manly man, talking doesn't count..."Ma Yunlu glanced at Zhao Yun fiercely and muttered, and walked forward with Zhao Yun.

Before the big tent of the frustrated professor, the frustrated professor had already walked out side by side with Gao Ran, everyone said hello, and the frustrated professor had already spoken: "Miss Ma, is Ling Zun back?" ”

"Yesterday evening, my brother has already sent someone to Zuli, if nothing happens, Ah Weng should be able to rush back at noon today." Ma Yunlu nodded at Fu Zhu and the others and said.

It turned out that although Ma Teng was a descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo, he stayed in Longxi and married the Qiang people, and he had already blended with the local Qiang people. And because of its large body, majestic face and nose, and virtuous personality, it is deeply supported by the Qiang people.

In the fourth year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou assassinated Shi Geng and Ren Xinchengqiu, and rebelled against the Didao kingdom and the Di and Qiang peoples. The state and county recruited warriors to crusade against the rebellion, and Ma Teng enlisted, which was valued by the state and county officials, and was appointed as the army to lead the troops.

Later, Cheng Qiu and Geng were killed, Ma Teng then joined forces with Han Sui and the kingdom, and called himself the "general of the United People" to push the kingdom as the main commander, and the soldiers were three auxiliaries, and they were defeated by Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and others and retreated to Liangzhou. Most of his subordinates are Qiang children, so in the past, Ma Teng was mostly stationed in Guzang or Zuli, but the Qiang children were scattered in Zuli, Huining, Ci and Cangsong, and still lived in tents.

Zu Li?

Frustrated one

was stunned, and his mind also turned a few times. He didn't know that Ma Teng was in Zuli before he came, but he knew that Niu Fu's mission was in Zuli. Dong Zhuo is dead, and it doesn't make much sense for the mission to stay in Zuli any longer, but Niu Fu doesn't know where to go, now that Ma Teng is in Zuli, will Niu Fu take refuge in Ma Teng?

Frustrated Zhu looked into the distance quietly, and said lightly: "Miss Ma, but what happened to Zu Li that Ling Zun personally stepped in?" We have come all the way to this place under the orders of the lord, and in Ling Zun's mind, can't we resist Zu Li's affairs? ”

"Mr. Gonghe, Yunlu went back to Huining with you yesterday, and Yunlu doesn't know what happened to Zu Li, but please rest assured, Mr. Ah Weng will definitely come back before noon." Ma Yunlu apologized.

"Even if what Miss Ma said is good, if I don't see Ling Zun for a day, I won't be at peace for a day." Fu Zhu shook his head, glanced at Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, you lead two hundred white horses to meet you, if General Ma needs help, you can also help General Ma deal with it by the way!" ”

"Haha, thanks to Mr. for worrying, Ma's yamen has been riddled with trivial matters until now to be free, please don't blame Mr!" A man turned out from the side of the tent, followed by Ma Chao and the others.

Everyone looked at him anxiously, only to see that the man was about eight feet tall, with a high nose bridge and a tiger-like face when he walked, and it was Ma Teng, one of the many warlord leaders in Xiliang.

"Awen!" Without waiting for Ma Teng to get close, Ma Yunlu had already jumped up and down in front of Ma Teng, grabbed one of Ma Teng's big hands, and kept smashing his mouth.

Ma Teng patted Ma Yunlu's shoulder lovingly, and pulled out his hand to give a salute to Fu Zhu: "Although Ma is far away in Xiliang, he has heard a lot about Mr. Wang's name, and I am fortunate to see Sansheng today!" ”

Everyone bowed their hands to Ma Teng and re-entered the tent with Ma Teng.

……

As soon as everyone sat down, they arched their hands towards Ma Teng and asked, "General Ma, although the people of the Central Plains are conferred, the deeds and loyalty of General Ma Fubo are like thunder. But below General Fubo, the Fufeng Ma family has never reproduced any peerless characters, which is really regrettable.

However, the general is also famous now, and he can be regarded as inheriting Ma Fubo's style. However, there is something unclear about the award, Ma Fubo has made a plan, and has a deep wish, it is said that the general's family background should also know the feats and loyalty of the Ma Fubo horse leather shroud in the past, why did the general repeatedly discredit the ancestors of the Ma family? ”

"How daring!" As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao shot the case and glared angrily, but Ma Teng still waved his hand lightly: "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”

Fu Zhu glanced at Ma Chao and smiled: "The young general doesn't agree with Fu Mou's words?" Then let it be presumptuous, let's break it here! ”

"Listen up!" Seeing that Ah Weng was no different, Ma Chao snorted and nodded.

"In the fourth year of Zhongping, the kingdom was coerced by Di and Qiang rebelled, and the general was conscripted into the army, and he was appointed to the army, and later he was promoted to the army Sima and the general. But after Geng Cong's death, the general united Han Sui and the kingdom to raise troops in Liangzhou, which caused trouble to Sanfu, did the general think so?

In the sixth year of Zhongping, the kingdom was defeated by the general Huangfu, and the general and Han Sui abolished the kingdom and fought for power.

Now, my lord worships the young emperor of Luoyang as the son of heaven, innovates taxes and pays taxes on behalf of the heavens, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment. Dong thieves have been in trouble in Sizhou and Liangzhou for many years, and finally died with a whimper, it is the day when the people of our state are peaceful, but the general has eyebrows with Cao Cao and Lu Bu with his own selfishness, does the general think so? ”

Ma Chaoteng stood up suddenly: "Hmph! When the first emperor was there, he favored Zhang and asked Zhao Zhong to reuse Duan Guosheng, so that the world was rotten and the country was corrupted. I, Ah Weng, raised troops in Liangzhou, and the soldiers and three auxiliaries were just for the sake of 'Qingjun's side and eunuchs'.

I have heard for a long time that Yan Xun, a number of great strategists under Wang Deyu's command, is unparalleled in the overall situation, Tian Guo is strategic, and I, Ma Chao, am also a man of wisdom, how can I be the same as the woman in the market? ”

"Meng Qi!" Ma Teng glared at Ma Chao, and held a handful of tea apologetically, "Mr. Gonghe, I, Ma Teng, have been for the country all my life, but I don't want to be misunderstood by the world, but I Ma Teng also don't want to say it in front of everyone.

The past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be chased. Mr. Gonghe, let it pass in the past, what Ma wants to know is, why can't I, Ma Teng, join forces with Cao Cao and Lu Bu? ”

For Ma Teng, a person who can become a heroic party is naturally a qualified politician. Don't dwell on the past, only focus on the present and the future. Things from the past? Jokes, rebellion or loyalty, how can there be capital in troubled times without experiencing these hands?

People without capital have long since died, where can they take care of a momentary reputation? Of course, reputation is also important. But history is written by the victors, what if I am the victor left over from the great waves?

"What does the general think of the current situation in Xiliang?" Frustrated for a moment, he looked at Ma Teng and asked.

Without waiting for Ma Teng to respond, Ma Chao also took the lead: "Needless to say, although it is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, it can be regarded as the Jiangnan outside the Saiwai." In particular, Wuwei, Zhangye and other places are even better than in the past under the governance of Ah Weng. ”

Fu Zhu shook his head and smiled: "Yes, Wu Wei and Zhang Ye may be as peaceful as the young general said, but Fu feels that this is probably just the last peace!" ”

"What's the explanation?" Ma Teng raised his eyebrows.

"What does the general think of Han Sui, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu?" Frustrated, he replied to himself in an instant, "The general's evil neighbor Han Sui and the general got up at the same time, and during the Zhongping period, a heart of the Yellow River was twisted and turned, and we needless to say that the general has always been eyeing him, presumably the general has deep feelings for his righteous brother.

But what about Lu Bu and Cao Cao? The general is really so good that they are not afraid that they will swallow it in one bite? Lu Bu's three family slaves are brave in the world, but only interests are paramount; Cao Cao's generals are like clouds, strategists are like rain, capable ministers of the world, and heroes of troubled times; Can the two of them safely let the general share the territory with them? ”

"In troubled times, there is no loyalty, it is just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a king, although Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Han Sui are eyeing me, so how can you guarantee that Wang Deyu will not have the intention of annexing my Ma?"

Frustrated and smiled: "My lord is determined to revitalize the Han Dynasty, how can the great benevolence and righteousness be comparable to Cao Cao and Lu Bu?" Since my debut in Wei County, my lord has successively pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo chaotic the country, rescued the young emperor in the inner palace, and saved the people from fire and water. Opening warehouses and releasing grain, reforming taxes, and piling piles and piles, which thing is not for the sake of ZTE?

General, when Dong Thief moved the capital, my lord resolutely entered the fashionable and dilapidated Luoyang for the sake of Luoyang's stability, and the matter of Qinghe being handed over to Liu Xuande is known to the world. Such a character, do you think he cares about your two counties away from the bustling city? ”

"Ah Weng ......" Ma Yunlu also persuaded on the side.

Ma Teng pondered for a moment: "I believe in Wang Deyu, but I still want Bai Yujing in your hands!" ”

"Yes, five hundred!"

"No, eight hundred!"

"Good!" Fu Zhu nodded, and then said, "Then I want the Niu Fu Mission, oh no, it should be one of the original Niu Fu Mission under the current general's command." ”

Ma Teng's mouth widened, and his eyes looked at him suspiciously.

"The general is not in Wuwei but in Zu Li, Zu Li should only have one mission at present, and the matter of the general can still be hung on the general's heart. If Fu's guess is correct, presumably Niu Fu has already taken refuge in the general! ”

"Okay, who do you need?"

"Jia Xu Jia Wenhe!"

He smiled, took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Ma Teng, one was Wang Li's handwritten letter, and the other was the letterhead of Yan Zhong, an old man in Liangzhou.

It is said that the six strategists under Wang Li's account are all wise and close to demons, and they really live up to their reputation!

Ma Teng sighed, took the letterhead in Fu Zhi's hand, stood up and held Fu Zhu tightly, and shouted: "Wu Wei welcomes you!" ”
