The five-story large flat seat, Liu Bei and hundreds of officials came.

The four-story box, the three-story private seats, and the second-floor grandstand are all overcrowded. Tickets for the year-end finals have been hard to come by since the day tickets went on sale. The foal has the blood of the Han and Qiang clans. To the greatest extent, it reflects the inclusive style of the thistle country and is deeply loved by the people.

The sound of the ddy shot into the air, and the horse raced out of the string. Everyone is the best, and they are already familiar with the track. Although it was a preliminary round, they fought bravely to be the first, far exceeding the general competition. Not surprisingly, the foals were united and took the lead in hitting the line.

Although the mother and son are living in prosperity, they are getting richer. But the foal's mother still came again and again to sell snacks. Seeing that the foal had won the first place again, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter if it's the first every time. The most important thing is to be safe and sound every time.

Wait for a jog lap and relax your steps. Pan Zhang'er, Zhu Badger, and Zhang He, they surrounded and led BMW Qingyun into the horse. Good students don't take care of it.

"If nothing else, the championship must be Ma Chao." Wang Fu Huang Zhong said with a smile.

Liu Bei nodded lightly: "It is a thousand miles of horses in the country of thistle." ”

"His father, Ma Teng, is also famous in Xiliang." Geng Yong, the right minister of the country, also smiled. Liu Bei once ordered someone to inquire about the whereabouts of his father, and news finally came back from Xiliang. He was recruited as a volunteer by the new Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang. In the pacification of Huangzhong, righteousness from the Hu rebellion, fame. Now he is a military commander and is in charge of his subordinates. It is known as "Xizhou Hanma" with Jincheng Hanyu.

Heroes deserve to be famous.

"Meet Brother Thistle." As he was talking, a girl knelt in front of Liu Bei's seat.

Liu Bei was stunned: "Who are you?" ”

"Cai Yan."

"It was originally the son-in-law of Young Master Cai's family." Seeing that although she was young, she behaved decently, Liu Bei smiled and asked: "Yan'er is not a few years older than my family Feng'er, why do you call Gu 'brother'?" ”

"The king is a disciple of Lu Cheqi, and Lu Chariot is worthy of his father and brother. I am naturally the same generation as Brother Jiwang. The girl was right.

"Oh?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded happily: "It makes sense." ”

As he spoke, he took out a special gold coin weighing twelve baht from his sleeve and motioned for the girl to come forward and take it.

Cai Yan stepped forward and took it with both hands. Say goodbye and return to Cai Yong's side.

Gold coins are money-weary. The front is inscribed "Divide the army", and the back is inscribed "remove the evil and go to the central (殃)".

"Tired of winning", also known as "overwhelming", means to use curses to subdue demons and ghosts. The name of the money is "tired of winning", because the people of the time firmly believed that the coin can "serve the gods and serve the ghosts". The first is to suppress ghosts and drive away evil spirits, and the other is to pray for blessings and protection.

Seeing Cai Yong's face full of love, Liu Bei also felt the same way.

can personally ask King Ji for money, and there is only the daughter of Cai Yong's family in the world.

If Cai Yong hadn't doted on him, how could he have brought his daughter with him.

As expected, the colt won three races in a row to become the overall champion of the year. The stands cheered. The champions of the first three realms are all the righteous brothers of the king of thistle, young heroes. The fourth champion is also a heroic boy, but he is not a member of the Thistle family.

Why is it always the teenager who wins the championship? Superb riding skills and excellent horses are one of them. Half-grown boys, light and healthy, light horses are also the key.

The champion, runner-up and third runner-up, take the ladder and go straight to the fifth floor. The award was presented by the Thistle King in person.

The first time he saw the thistle king that everyone praised orally, Ma Chao actually felt a little nervous. Fortunately, there are two people who accompany him.

The three of them knelt on one knee and shouted: "Meet the superiors."

Liu Bei smiled and said: No courtesy.

Except for the foal, the remaining two are all teenagers of the Xilinhu tribe. With Liu as the surname. It was the family of the Zahu horse thief who first lived in Xilinyi, and now they have grown up. The Chinese dialect of Youzhou is extremely pure, and his studies have not been wasted.

The good horses they ride are also home-bred. Liu Bei was especially pleased.

Xilin teenagers are all tomorrow's talents of the thistle country.

"Are you still used to living?" Liu Bei suddenly spoke.

The colt was flattered: "Back to the king, everything is fine." ”

"Where's Mother?"

"Selling snacks in the stands." The foal answered truthfully.

"It's good to be self-reliant." Liu Bei smiled: "When I was lonely, I also depended on my mother for my life. Your father is far away in Xiliang, did he ever know? ”

"The teacher has told me." There was no joy or sorrow on Ma Chao's face.

"What are you going to do?" Ma Chao's obsession, how can Liu Bei not know.

In the romance, his father Ma Teng first received the "edict of clothes and belts", and died together with his sons because of the incident, Ma Chao learned that his father and brother were killed by Cao Cao, and he used all the Xiliang elite troops to attack Cao, which is completely different.

In fact, the culprit of Ma Teng's death is Ma Chao.

In March of the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao sent Zhong Xuan and Xiahou Yuan to lead the army out of Hedong, wanting to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong through Liangzhou. The Guanxi princes led by Ma Chao and Han Sui suspected that Cao Cao was using a false plan to destroy Yu, and actually wanted to annex Liangzhou. So he united with Guanzhong Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Anding Yang Qiu, Hedong Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yi and other ten departments, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and raised troops against Cao.

According to the record of "Wei Luo", Ma Chao once said (Han) covenant: "...... Kanto people can't reply to the letter. Today, Chao abandons his father, takes the general as his father, and the general should also abandon his son and take Chao as his son. ”

Visible. Before rebelling, Ma Chao had anticipated the outcome and made the final choice.

Thereupon. Seventeenth year of Jian'an, May. Cao Cao killed his super father Ma Teng, his second brother Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, etc., who moved to Yecheng, and razed the three clans.

Ma Chao started the army in March of the sixteenth year of Jian'an, and in May of the following year, he caused disaster to the whole family and was razed by the three clans.

Acting like this, Liu Bei was incomprehensible. However, after learning about Ma Chao's life experience, he understood a little. The reason why Ma Chao's biological mother died early is closely related to his father's dislike and indifference. In addition, Ma Chao is a mixed-race Qiang person. In the land of Sanfu, there are also "Qianghu" mixed, and the customs are also similar. Hu people are all noble and young, and they are cheap and old. If you are angry, you will kill your father and brother, but you will not harm your mother. Ma Chao may also be deeply affected.

The biggest reason, of course, is ambition. For the sake of Xiliang, he did not hesitate to lose his family's life.

Now that my mother is here, I hate it for no reason. Mother and son depend on each other for their lives, and their lives are worry-free. In addition, a group of friends accompany each other all day long, and the teachers in the academic world are kind and instructive. The anger in my heart should have already turned into full determination. As for pride, it is innate. Just like the second brother Guan Yu, there is no other. There is no need to change it.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Chao held his head high and said loudly: "The eldest husband is alive, he should raise the spear of the eight zhang and make immortal achievements." To ascend to the rank of king, in order to win the name of the world. At that time, my father came from the beginning of his life. I will meet my mother for ten miles. ”

"Ambitious." Liu Bei nodded happily, and was earnestly inducing: "The end of the year is approaching, the so-called 'farewell to the old and welcome the new'." Taking today's championship and fame as an opportunity, we must make a break with the past. Tomorrow's Ma Chao must be new inside and out. ”

"Ma Chao understands."

The historical Jin Ma Chao was thin and cold by nature, only caring about himself and ignoring others. Liu Bei thought it was nature. I can see today, maybe there is still a turnaround.

Liu Bei excused himself from the old and welcomed the new, and Yu Ma Chao changed his mind and became a new person. is the greatest expectation for him.

When he practiced swordsmanship when he was young, Gongsun said: "The sword style is right, but the momentum is not right." There is a difference between being unhesitant and taking a gamble. ”

Liu Bei asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Gongsun replied: "The difference is whether you believe or not. ”

Liu Bei asked again: "What about believing and what about not believing?" ”

Gongsun replied again: "Faith, your sword is fierce and fierce, and it can slay gods and demons." If you don't believe it, your sword is so strong that it will be useless. ”

When I was ignorant, I was more and more aware of the subtlety of Gongsun's words.

This is also applicable to Jinma Chao.

Believe or not believe, or lie in love or not love.
