Chapter 92 Haojie

Ma Teng asked people to carry the gifts sent by Chen Cheng back to the backyard, and said to Ma Yunlu and Ma Tie: "You have two horses each, take them to make a few clothes, and keep the rest first." ”

Several children took silk and cloth, and their faces were full of happiness, but Ma Chao refused to take them. Ma Teng asked Ma Yunlu and them to go down first, and then repulsed the tribal family members in the family, and then said to Ma Chao: "You still want to kill them?" ”

Ma Chao raised his head and said, "We are strong now, we can just get what we want, what are we doing with these people who escaped from Luoyang City?" ”

Ma Teng said: "What do you know? ”

Ma Chao was angry in his heart and shouted: "I only know that a husband can't live under people!" ”

"Hey, everyone can say big things, but not everyone can do big things. If you're not convinced, go to the county and see what others have to say. ”

Chen Cheng returned to the county office, took out the bamboo slips and continued to write down the experience and experience in Luoyang. As for what happened, he tried his best to write objectively and neutrally, only writing about how things happened, without adding any subjective imagination. While he was writing, Liu Qian was trying to read on the side.

Of course, the characters are simplified, there are too many text strokes in this era, and it is very troublesome to write, Chen Cheng wanted to reform the text for a long time, but he never had the opportunity. Now Liu Qian has nothing else to do, so he wrote a few simplified characters and the characters of this era, corresponding them one by one, and then gave them to Liu Qian to identify.

Liu Qian was named the princess of Wannian, and she was educated when she was in the palace and could already recognize many words. She read the fifteen words "Heaven and Earth, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, Sun, Moon, Wind and Cloud", and then wrote carefully on the wood chips with a brush.

Chen Cheng didn't ask her why she came out of Luoyang City with him, but since he brought her out, he was responsible for her. At the very least, make her a useful person.

In the morning, she practiced literature, or practiced martial arts, and in the afternoon, Yan Zhong would teach her some of the customs of Liangzhou. Chen Cheng would visit the leading figures in the county, including but not limited to the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, the chief secretary Gongcao, and the big families in the county.

After all, Pengyang is close to Sanfu, although there are many mountains and few plains in the territory, there are still some Han people in the county. Chen Cheng has outstanding appearance and good conversation, and soon won the favor of the Han people in the county. However, they also vaguely expressed their dissatisfaction with the tenacity, saying that they had encroached on their fields.

At this time, Chen Cheng talked about him in terms of left and right, or talking to people about the general trend of the world, or talking about what he saw and heard in Luoyang City, or predicting the future situation. He is eloquent and knowledgeable, and as long as there is no conflict of interest, he can easily gain the trust and favor of others.

But these are not the most important reasons, after all, Xiliang is different from the Central Plains, although literary scholars will be respected by others, but only strong force is the most reliable guarantee. On the fourth day, Chen Cheng took Liu Qian to the school field outside the city, and shot a few arrows at random, which made a group of heroes bow down and made Ma Chao even more hostile to him.

In the past few days, the news from Luoyang has also spread to Xiliang. The death of the Son of Heaven, the fire in Luoyang, the accession of the new emperor to the throne, and the change of the Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of peace, these are all major events that shocked the world. Not surprisingly, He Jin put all the pots on the heads of Chen Cheng and the eunuchs, and charged Chen Cheng with "bewitching the lord with witchcraft", "attaching eunuchs", "capturing the princess", "burning Luoyang", "arson and plunder", "mutilating the people" and other crimes, and paid 3,000 gold to buy his head.

"Father, there are notices posted in Chang'an," Ma Chao said: "Say that whoever you are, as long as you offer the head of the thief Chen, you can get a reward of three thousand gold!" ”

Ma Teng looked at him and said: "Han Sui is gathering soldiers and horses in Hanyang County, it is said that dozens of leaders of the Qianghu tribe have responded to his call, and the soldiers and horses in Longxi are also concentrating on Hanyang, and in Ji County, Hanyang, Shangtai and other cities, the price of grain has tripled more than ..........."

"What?" Ma Chao stood up and said angrily: "Han Sui, this old dog, really dare to start a war with us?" ”

"It doesn't have to be to attack us," Ma Teng's face was also very ugly, and he said calmly: "But Hanyang County is next to us, so we must guard against it!" ”

"How can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?" Ma Chao's eyes showed a strange brilliance, and he said loudly: "Why don't we strike first and take the lead in sending troops to slaughter Han Sui!" As long as Han Laogou dies, how dare the other Qianghu miscellaneous people do anything with us? ”

Ma Teng shook his head again and again, and said, "In addition to Han Sui, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi.... They are all gathering soldiers and horses, Beidi, Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, I heard that they are all mobilizing troops, if we do it first, maybe these people will all come together to fight us! ”

Ma Chao was arrogant and shouted: "Who are you afraid of him?" I don't believe that there are still people who can be a blow to my army! ”

While the Ma family's father and son were discussing things, Yan Zhong was introducing a young hero to Chen Cheng.

"Junhou, this is Yan Xing I mentioned to you."

Yan Zhong smiled and said, "Yanming, why don't you meet the Julu Marquis?" ”

Yan Xing did not bow his head and bow, but looked at Chen Cheng carefully for a while. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that although Chen Cheng was beautiful and not like ordinary people, he didn't have much prestige, but he still saluted respectfully and said, "I've seen Chen Hussar." ”

Yan Zhong said with a smile: "There are many heroes in Xiliang, but among the juniors, there are only two people who I value the most. ”

Chen Cheng helped Yan Xing up and sat him down, then turned his head and asked, "I don't know if it's those two people?" ”

Yan Zhong said: "First, it is Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, he is thoughtful, full of wisdom, and can discuss the affairs of the world. Second, it is my nephew Yan Xing, Yunwen Yunwu, there is no one in Liangzhou who can stand out. ”

How could Chen Cheng, the name of Jia Xu, not have heard of it? What skills does this Yan Xing have that can be compared to Jia Xu?

He looked Yan Xing up and down, and saw that this person had slender hands and feet, a majestic figure that was not under Ma Chao, and a calm bearing, and a polite manner, which could indeed be called a talent. But if you want to say that it can be compared with Jia Xu....... He looked again, but still couldn't see it.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but sigh to himself: If you want to talk about the ability to know people, he is indeed inferior to Liu Bei, he can only see the basic quality of a person, but he can't see what kind of height others can go. If you didn't know some historical knowledge, I am afraid that I would not have imagined that Cao Cao would be able to flatten the heroes and unify the north after a eunuch.

is like Yan Xing in front of him, he can only know that this person is talented...... Wait, Chen Cheng suddenly found that he had gotten into the horns of the bull, who could see others clearly as soon as they met? It must be that you have to listen to his words, watch his deeds, and get along for a while before you can draw conclusions.

He smiled and asked, "How does Yanming compare to that Ma Chao?" ”

Yan Xingdao: "Ma Mengqi's martial arts are superb, and his fame is shocking to the West. ”

After listening to the first half, Chen Cheng thought that Yan Xinghui thought that he was inferior to Ma Chao, but he knew that the words in the back were completely different from what he thought, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and looked at the other party again, and saw that Yan Xing's bearing was majestic, and he was a little happy in his heart. He stood up and laughed: "I like warriors and heroes the most in my life, and seeing each other today is fate." ”

As he spoke, Chen Cheng walked to the side, took down the "Seven Star Treasure Knife" on the wooden frame, and said: "The name of this knife is called: Seven Stars, it was given by a friend, I held this knife, and killed hundreds of people before and after, and the blade is still the same." Today, I will give this seven-star treasure knife to Yan Ming. ”

BMW's famous knife has always been the favorite of martial artists. As soon as Chen Cheng met, he gave this kind of divine weapon to him, Rao is Yan Xing has a calm personality, and he couldn't help but be surprised at this moment. He turned his head to look at Yan Zhong with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Yan Zhong said with a smile: "The treasure sword is given to the hero, Yanming, you can accept it." Don't you think you're a hero? ”

Yan Xing straightened his back, stretched out his hand, took the "Seven Stars" treasure knife, and pulled it gently, the blade was half exposed, and Sen Han's murderous aura immediately came out from the blade, which actually made Yan Xing's back a little cold. He exclaimed, "Good knives! ”

Chen Cheng smiled: "Of course it's a good knife, if it's not a good knife, I wouldn't dare to take it out and show it." ”

Yan Xing inserted the knife into the scabbard, and his heart was already starting to waver a little. He thought to himself: Perhaps, I need to stay a few more days and see.

Yan Xingdao: "I've been inquiring in many ways in the past few days, and sure enough, it's just as we discussed before!" ”

Chen Cheng said: "You mean that Xiliang is going to be in chaos?" ”

Yan Zhong was in front of the case and said, "Exactly! Han Sui, Ma Teng and the princes of Xiliang are all mobilizing soldiers and horses, and a melee is about to break out! ”

He said to Chen Cheng: "After Han Sui annexed Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou's subordinates, there were no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Ma Teng's troops were less than one-third of Han Sui's, at this time, he would definitely win us over." As long as you have a place to stay, things will be easy to do after that. ”

Chen Cheng pondered for a while, then sighed and said, "With the swords and soldiers, the people will suffer." ”

Hearing this, Yan Xing's face was different, and he couldn't help but look at his uncle Yan Zhong. Yan Zhong smiled and said, "The prince said this. It was as if the people would not suffer if they did not use the sword. ”

Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Soldiers, murder weapons, saints have to use them as a last resort." The current Xiliang land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not necessary to fight. ”

Yan Zhong said: "It is precisely because the princes of Xiliang have no way that they need benevolent people like the prince to stand up. ”

Chen Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm not a good person either. ”

He turned his head and said to Yan Xing: "I will have a banquet in the city in two days, have you heard of this?" ”

Yan Xing nodded and said, "It has been spread all over the county, not only the heroes of this county, but also many of the counties from other counties have rushed to Pengyang. ”

Yan Zhong clapped his hands and said, "Heroes are coming, big things can be done!" ”

Chen Cheng saw it clearly, and said with a smile: "I don't think they came because I wanted to have a treat, most of them were because Han Sui had too many soldiers and horses, and others were afraid that they would be annexed by Han Sui, so they came over to huddle together to keep warm." ”

Yan Zhong said: "It's all the same thing. It doesn't matter what reason they came, as long as they came, it was good. ”
