Liangzhou.

According to the "Liangshu Tao Hongjing Biography": "Jurong's sentence Qu Mountain, Heng said that under this mountain is the eighth cave, called Jintan Huayangzhi, around one hundred and fifty miles.

In the former Han Dynasty, there were Xianyang Sanmao Jun who got the way, and came here to palm the mountain, which is called the Mao Mountain.

They are the people of the time of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (the year before that), the Zhongmao Jun Maogu, the word Ji Wei, the Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty raised filial piety and honesty, and moved to Wuwei Taishou, so the establishment time of Wuwei County was 156 years ago.

In the second year of Yuanjia in the Western Han Dynasty (121 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent the hussar general Huo Qubing to expedition to Hexi and defeat the Xiongnu.

In the fifth year of Yuan Feng (106 years ago), it was divided into thirteen states, each of which placed a history of thorns, which was called "thirteen thorn histories".

In the scope of present-day Gansu Province, the Liangzhou Thorn History Department is placed, and the name of Liangzhou has been since then, which means "located in the west, often cold and cold".

Liangzhou has jurisdiction over counties, 12 counties (Longxi County, Hanyang County, Wudu County, Jincheng County, Anding County, Beidi County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County, Zhangye Subordinate State, Juyan Subordinate State), 98 counties.

At that time, the scope of Liangzhou included the whole of Gansu, bordering the Western Regions in the west, some counties (cities) in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia in the north, and some counties (cities) in Qinghai along the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains in the south.

By the time of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the jurisdiction of Liangzhou was expanded to part of the east of Chang'an, spanning the five provinces of Gansu, Ning, Qingdao, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. Zhou Zhi Gu Zang.

The geographical location of Liangzhou is very important.

It connects Guanzhong in the east, connects to the Western Regions in the west, separates the mountains in front of it, and winds around the desert in the back, "passing through the vast desert and controlling the throat of the five counties".

The whole Liangzhou, west of the Qilian Mountains, east of the Tengger and Badain Jarin deserts, in the middle is the geography book of the "Hexi Corridor".

Strangling Liangzhou is equivalent to choking the throat of the Silk Road.

Because of its geographical location, Liangzhou has become a necessary place for Silk Road and economic exchanges, and it also determines its profound cultural accumulation.

Liangzhou has been stable since ancient times.

The ancient rumor: "In Qinchuan, there is no wrist, only Liangzhou leans on the pillar." The people of Liangzhou love peace, never exclude foreigners, can endure humiliation and burden, pay attention to "suffering losses are blessings", businessmen come and go, never bullying, and gradually become an economic and cultural center.

Later, the Qiang people, the Di people, the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei and other foreign ethnic groups moved in Liangzhou.

It complicates the ethnic composition of the people in Liangzhou.

Guzang County, formerly known as Gaizang, was built by the Huns at first, and was later renamed Guzang.

Because this city is in the shape of a dragon, it is also called "Wolong City".

The Western Han Dynasty built Guzang County, which belongs to Wuwei County and is the seat of Wuwei County.

When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, a new dynasty was established, and the cluster was set as the governor of Yongzhou.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to Yongzhou Prefecture.

Due to the mixed residence of Han, Qiang and Xiongnu ethnic groups, and the location of the main road of Chinese and Western transportation, it soon became a rich town in Hexi.

During the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, Liangzhou was reset and Guzang was the place of governance.

In this day and age,

Due to the appearance of Lu Bu,

History has deviated,

When Emperor Han Xian did not set up Yongzhou,

Therefore, now Xiliang is still called Liangzhou,

Guzang is naturally the seat of Liangzhou.

One of the largest residential complexes in the city of Guzang,

It is the mansion where Ma Teng lives,

The top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black gold silk nanmu plaque,

On it, the dragon and the phoenix dance are inscribed with two big characters "Mafu".

On both sides of the doorway,

Squatting sat two lifelike stone lions,

The hideous and vicious expression seemed to be about to choose someone to devour.

Go straight inside the gate,

is a wide bluestone pavement,

There is no complicated and beautiful decoration on both sides,

It's the same as Ma Teng's character,

Simple and generous.

In front of the stone road,

In order, there is the front yard, the front hall, the back house, and the back yard of this mansion.

At this time, it is almost time,

Since it is winter at this time,

Bright late,

The sun has not yet peeked out of its bed,

But in the martial arts arena in the backyard of Mafu,

A young man is practicing here.

The young man is naked,

Steaming hot,

Apparently practiced here for a while,

It is a strong contrast to the surrounding snow and ice.

Hit two sets of punches in a row,

The young man only felt comfortable,

In the hazy moonlight,

You can see the handsome face of the young man,

and the beautiful muscle lines up and down the body,

Combined with a strange masculine charm.

At this time, a tall figure appeared next to him,

It was an eight-foot-tall man,

The face is black and yellow, the head cannot be reviewed, and the clothes cannot be left alone,

Walking on the valley, the ape can not be healthier.

The big man said in a loud voice:

"Major General, it's so early!"

"Ling Ming!"

The young man looked back,

I recognized the man,

His face suddenly showed joy,

Hurriedly spoke:

"Hahaha, it's just in time, come and play with me. It's been a long time, see if you can beat me now. ”

The person who came was Pang De Pang Lingming,

As for the young man,

is the eldest son of Ma Teng,

Xiliang Jinma Chao Ma Mengqi.

Pound's big eyes immediately glared when he heard this,

He is not good at talking,

and will not answer,

Peel off the big squash on your body in three or two,

He flew and pounced on the young man.

"Good time!"

Although Pound is burly,

But this one moves,

but swift as an ape,

Ma Chao does not retreat but advances,

rushed up to Pound,

As soon as the two came into contact, it was a hard-fought confrontation,

None of them used any tricks.

Every punch and kick is a real hard hit,

Er Rao is not wearing protective gear,

The punch and foot struck the body,

There was a muffled thumping sound one after another,

In this moment of silence,

It sounds clearer.

Pound has been fighting on the battlefield for many years,

In Xiliang, it already has a great reputation,

The power of that punch and kick is more than a thousand pounds,

I'm afraid someone else will come over,

Just two punches and you'll fall to the ground.

But what is in front of him at the moment is not an ordinary person,

Although Ma Chao is a few years older than Pound,

But the power of the gods,

At the age of twelve, he followed Ma Teng to the battlefield,

That martial arts are not given in vain,

Its reputation is a little louder than that of Pound,

These two people are fighting each other,

It's really a chess opponent.

The hard bridge and the hard horse attacked two or three rounds,

The two sides were separated for a short time,

The two of them each took two or three steps back,

Stood in place, snorting and panting.

A hearty smile appeared on Pound's rough face,

Ma Chao opposite,

At this moment, the expression on his face is also like his,

Fang just fought that time,

Both of them are exhilarating.

Pound was ready to take off these obstructive clothes on his body,

Learn to be naked,

Go on for dozens of more rounds,

But at this moment,

There was a burst of applause next to me,

"Hahaha, my son is brave! I haven't seen him for many days, and my martial arts have improved a lot. He was able to compete with Ling Ming under the horse. Hahaha! ”

I saw Ma Teng walking over slowly,

He was followed by three teenagers who looked like him,

They are Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai.

"General!"

"Father!"

Pang De and Ma Chao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The three teenagers hurriedly ran to the eldest brother's side,

clothe him with clothes,

The brothers were intimate for a while.

"General, I just heard about the person on duty at night, and the young general has just come back for a short time. When I came here, I met the major general Xi Wu......"

Ma Teng smiled and patted Pound's shoulder,

stopped his explanation,

Opening:

"Ling Ming, I already know about it. You go to the front and clean up first, and we'll go to dinner together. ”

Pound hurriedly responded,

Turning his head and hurrying towards the front yard.

Ma Teng smiled and looked at Ma Chao, who was surrounded by his three younger brothers,

He greeted:

"Meng Qi, don't say hello to me first when you come back, you come here to disturb people's dreams."

Though there are words of reproach on the lips,

But the look on that face,

But anyone can see it,

It was a great joy.

Ma Chao hurriedly hugged his fists and said:

"Father, the boy arrived at midnight this morning, and was afraid to disturb his rest. That's why I'm active here, I never thought that I still disturbed my father, and I asked my father not to blame him. ”

"Hahaha, you kid, you are joking with you for your father, but you take it seriously, it seems that you have learned a lot of sour Confucian habits from your Jiang brother. Let's go to the front to eat first. ”

The family simply had breakfast,

Ma Teng sent Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai to study their homework.

led Ma Chao to the study to discuss the matter.

"Chao'er, I've worked hard for you in the past few months."

Ma Teng sat on the main seat,

Opening.

Ma Chao rejoiced in his heart,

A smile appeared on his face unconsciously,

But he still hurriedly said:

"It's what a child should do, not hard."

Ma Teng nodded with relief,

He asked:

"How is your brother Jiang?"

The people of the Mattenso,

It was before Ma Chao beat Cangsong was a prisoner of Cangsong County, and Jiang Tong,

The Jiang family and the Ma family are world friends,

It's just that Jiang Tong avoided military disasters in his early years,

Leaving home,

Therefore, Ma Chao didn't recognize him at first.

But after they met,

The relationship between the two Rao is very close,

Jiang Tong is very good at handling political affairs.

After Ma Teng defeated Liangzhou,

Because of the previous Han Sui rebellion,

Many officials followed him,

caused many places in Liangzhou later,

Faced with the dilemma of having no officials.

Fortunately, the prestige of the Ma family in Xiliang is not low,

And there are many people like Jiang Tongyi,

With strong support,

This finally stabilized Liangzhou,

Later, Zang Hong, Zhong Xuan and others came,

It is also to completely stabilize Liangzhou.

"Brother Jiang Tong is good at political affairs, and Jincheng County, which is the most poisoned by Han Wenyue, has now been completely stabilized. And Jiang Jiong's child has just been born, and he will arrive in Guzang soon. ”

Ma Teng stroked his beard and listened to Ma Chao's report,

Nodding his head in satisfaction,

When you hear the last sentence,

Suddenly raised his eyebrows,

looked at Ma Chao's face and immediately changed.

Seeing this, Ma Chao seemed to know something,

His face immediately fell.

Sure enough, Ma Teng pointed at Ma Chao angrily:

"You rabbit cub, listen to it, that Jiang Jiong is only a year older than you, and his daughter-in-law Yao is a girl who used to call her brother behind your ass, and now she has children. You bastard, you don't even want to marry your daughter-in-law! ”

Ma Chao argued with a bitter face:

"Then Brother Jiang Tong didn't have a child, how can Jiang Jiong be blamed for having a child."

Ma Tenghu asked with a tiger face:

"What are you?"

Although Ma Chao is a master who is not afraid of the ground,

But in front of his father, he became as docile as a cat,

Hurriedly shook his hand and denied it.

Ma Teng continued to ask angrily:

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Boy, when I heard Brother Jiang Tong, he gave him a name, it seems to be Jiang Wei."

When Ma Teng heard that it was a boy,

Preparing for another seizure,

Ma Chao hurriedly said:

"By the way, Father, do you remember Najia's visit?"

Sure enough, Ma Teng was interrupted by Ma Chao's beating,

successfully diverted the topic,

After thinking about it for a while,

Ma Teng said:

"But the Jia Wan who followed Zhong Xuan before? He's still the second son of that Jia Xu, right? ”

Ma Chao nodded and hurriedly said:

"That's right, it's the second son."

"What's wrong with him?"

"When Mr. Zhong Miao left, he specially asked me to ask this person more if there was anything."

Ma Teng raised his eyebrows,

Puzzled, he asked:

"I remember that this son is about the same age as you, but his reputation is not obvious, under the lord's account, the younger generation and Guo Jia and Liu Ba and others, why can this son be favored by Zhong Yuanchang?"

Ma Chao shook his head and said he didn't know,

Then he spoke:

"But this son has some real talent. Many wealthy families in Liangzhou are subdued by him, and even Brother Jiang Tong is quite praised for this person. ”

Ma Teng nodded his head,

Suddenly, another topic began:

"Chao'er, have you heard some rumors lately?"

"The wind?"

"It's not good for my Ma family, such as the fact that I may oppose the lord."

Ma Chao's body was shocked,

Shocked, he said:

"Father, father, don't do anything stupid. The lord is as kind to our Ma family as a mountain......"

Ma Teng stretched out his hand to stop Ma Chao's words and said:

"Chao'er, how can a father be such a person who is in the twilight of Qin. It's just that during this period of time, there seems to be such words faintly coming from Guzang City. At the beginning, you and my father and son were desperate, thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, not only helped us succeed in revenge, but also handed Liangzhou into the hands of you and me, we can never live up to the lord's expectations. It's just that now, our father and son are sitting in Liangzhou, and there must be people who are coveting it, and similar rumors are inevitable, and the lord may not care, but you and my father and son have to care. That's why the Father called you back to discuss how to resolve the matter. ”

After Ma Chao listened to Ma Teng's words,

Finally put my mind at ease,

He once fought with Lu Bu,

Ma Chao thinks that his martial arts are no worse than anyone else,

And because of age also,

Even if someone is stronger than him,

Nor will it convince him.

But Lu Bu is an exception,

That night, in the slaughter in the jungle outside the Burndangqiang tribe,

Ma Chao still often remembers,

Every time I think about it, I feel terrible,

At that time, Lu Bu could no longer be called a human,

It was that time that

left an indelible mark on Ma Chao's heart.

"That's good, but it's tricky. If it's okay to go into battle to kill the enemy, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch this kind of thing. ”

Ma Chao rubbed his smooth chin and said.

Ma Teng shook his head in annoyance,

As Ma Chao said,

Their family is good at fighting on the battlefield,

This kind of conspiracy is a shortcoming,

Suddenly, he had an idea:

"Chao'er, aren't you the Jiang Jiong who will arrive in Guzang soon? He had always been resourceful, and if he had him, he might have been able to solve the problem. ”
