Chapter 229: The Taste of Love

Ma Chao said angrily: "Do you want us to wait for him? ”

Ma Teng immediately shouted: "Shut up! ”

The tooth soldier who showed them the way turned cold suddenly, sneered twice, and then retreated, throwing them in the room. Ma Teng said to Ma Chao: "Do you think this is home?" If you don't converge, go back to Pengyang for me! ”

Ma Chao snorted, closed his eyes and stopped talking. Ma Teng is a Huhua Han man, and he has always been very rough when educating his children, but as Ma Chao grows older and his martial arts are constantly improving, Ma Teng can no longer be like when he was a child, and he will arrest his son and beat him up if he has a slight problem.

In the large room next door, thirty-five crash course students were listening to the instructor explain the process of the battle of the Liuchuan River. The entire battle of the Liuchuan River was mostly in the defensive stage, using the barriers and terrain to engage in bloody battles with the Han army. Therefore, this class mainly talks about the issue of deploying troops during defensive operations.

On a rectangular table in the center, there is a map drawn from memory by the officers who participated in the war at the time. Because there is only a terrain within a radius of dozens of miles, and not long after the battle, the terrain is basically consistent with the situation on the real battlefield. The instructor pointed to the map with a wooden stick and said, "...... The Han army had far more infantry than us, but it was by relying on this road that the camp wall that had been built for less than ten days offset their numerical superiority, forcing the enemy to come up and fight with us little by little. Therefore, if it is not necessary, if it is not superiority in strength, do not attack a strong camp or city lightly. ”

The instructor himself was drawn from the trap camp, and after he finished his closing statement, he put the wooden stick on the table, and said, "That's all for today's class, end of class!" ”

The squad leader first said loudly: "Stand up!" ”

Thirty-five students stood up together and shouted, "Goodbye, teacher"

The instructor smiled and said to Zhao Yun on the side: "General Zhao, then I'll go first." ”

Zhao Yun bowed slightly, this set of procedures for getting to and from class, like all other rules and regulations, is to imperceptibly let the soldiers develop the habit of obedience, so that when they are fighting, they can command handily.

He stood up and said to the crash course students: "When this training is over, you will be reassigned, and the lowest one is the tun chief." The tun commander, also known as the hundred generals, is the most important link in the grassroots command, directly commanding the team rate and the commander downward, and completing the orders issued by the Qu Junhou upwards. Mastering these tactics is important, of course, but the most important thing is courage and determination, and I hope you don't forget that! ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun turned around and walked out of the classroom, and the tooth soldier who had been waiting for a long time walked up and reported: "General Zhao, An Ding Taishou Ma Teng asks to see you!" ”

Zhao Yun paused slightly and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"Waiting in the conference room."

Tooth City is very well built, everything is according to the standards of war, but it is not uncomfortable to live in. On the contrary, the living conditions here are better than those in Yinchuan City. Whether it is a fire kang or a public bathhouse, it was the first to be built here. Even four large boilers have been installed in Yacheng, and after winter, boiling water is boiled every day, on the one hand, to heat the barracks on the side, and on the other hand, to provide drinking and washing water.

Zhao Yun, as the commander of the chamberlain and the commander of the tooth soldiers, lives in the best place in the tooth city, not only the largest room, but also all kinds of facilities. He went back to his room, took off his heavy, cold armor and helmet, changed into a thick cotton coat, put on his hair crown, and then pushed open the door and walked out.

The conference room was not far away, and in the past, it could be walked in three or two steps, but now Zhao Yun subconsciously slowed down, as if he wanted to walk a little longer. He suppressed the slight panic in his heart, and said secretly: The number of tooth soldiers has increased a lot, and maybe it will increase in the future, this place will be too small, and it is too close to Yinchuan, so you have to choose a new place and build a bigger camp.

Walking to the door of the conference room, he paused for a moment, then took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked inside.

In the conference room, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu were looking around at all kinds of things full of Hu Feng. The long square table is called the Hu Table, the four-legged chair is called the Hu Chair, and the blackboard hanging in front of it and the chalk on the side all amaze the two young men who have come from settling down.

When Chen Cheng first got these things out, everyone was surprised, let alone the two teenagers. But after more than a year, the people of Tooth City have become accustomed to the endless flow of new things, as if they were already there.

Ma Chao was actually a little curious, he watched his two younger brothers scribbling on the blackboard with chalk, and he was a little envious and a little disgusted in his heart, so he couldn't wait to rush up and snatch the chalk down, and then tell them how to draw. Is that a horse? It's all painted as pigs! If I had gone up, I wouldn't have painted it so ugly!

The door creaked, and Zhao Yun, who was eight feet tall, walked in from outside the door. Ma Teng immediately stood up, looking at the other party's eyes was very complicated, and the majestic man in front of him gradually coincided with the already vague impression in his memory, making the feeling in his heart even more complicated.

Ma Teng arched his hand at Zhao Yun and said, "I've seen the waiter." ”

Zhao Yun returned the salute and said, "Ma Taishou." ”

The two sat down in their chairs and did not speak for a few moments.

yes, what to say?

Ma Teng said secretly: Zhao Zilong is dignified, majestic, and has won the trust of Chen Yuanjun, and there is nothing wrong with marrying his own daughter.

Zhao Yun: ..........

They didn't speak, Ma Chao didn't speak with a cold face, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie on the side were quiet for a while after Zhao Yun came in, and then they couldn't sit still, sitting on the chair and moving constantly, making the chair "creak".

It was Zhao Yun who took the lead in breaking the silence, "General Ma, I want to marry Miss Ma Yunlu, I don't know what you think?" ”

Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and said briskly; "Good!"

Zhao Yundao: "After next spring, I will have people send the dowry to Anding." ”

Ma Teng nodded first, then shook his head again, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I bought a place to live in Yinchuan, and I can just send it directly to the city when the time comes." ”

“....... Good! ”

After saying that, Ma Teng easily pulled it up all of a sudden. Seeing the murderous atmosphere here just now, he also unconsciously became serious. But now that I think about it, what's so terrible about him? It was Zhao Yun who wanted to marry his daughter, not the other way around!

Zhao Yun also felt a lot more relaxed, and his face softened. They chatted for a while, and Zhao Yun also wanted to talk to Ma Chao, but Ma Mengqi kept a cold face and put on an appearance that no one should approach. On the contrary, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were very close to Zhao Yun and pestered him to ask a lot of questions.

In the end, Zhao Yun left four people to eat in Yacheng. In battles and marches, in order to reduce the pressure on supplies, to ensure morale and for some other reason, generals, officers and soldiers eat the same food. However, in normal times, there is a big difference between different levels of treatment, including food.

Chen Cheng himself is very picky, but he has always been very generous to his subordinates. Zhao Yun is the commander of the waiter, not to mention that Yu Lu takes the highest grade, and he also has shares in various factories, and every time he gives a reward, Chen Cheng has not forgotten his share, so Zhao Yun's net worth is quite rich. He usually eats the same as Chen Cheng, which is very simple, but of course the banquet for Ma Teng's father and son can't be like before.

Zhao Yun took out some money and asked the guards to go to the military store in Yacheng to buy a lot of wine, meat and cooked food, and then invited Ma Teng and a few people to have a big meal. Although Ma Teng is stable and guarded, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, where has he ever eaten food cooked with spices and various condiments?

He just ate a piece and felt a little unstoppable. Ginger and green onions and other ingredients completely suppress the fishy smell of mutton, and it tastes soft and delicious, full and juicy. Ma Chao ate two more pieces of meat, and the expression on his face was slightly soothing, no longer the cold appearance he had before.

As for Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, they were shouting and eating at the same time. Ma Teng himself is a Han from Huhua, and he married a Qiang woman as his wife, and there has never been any restraint in the family, because several sons and daughters have developed a temperament similar to that of the Hu people.

Zhao Yun saw that several people were eating happily, and his heart was also happy, and Ma Yunlu's face involuntarily appeared in his mind.

A smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: I don't know what she is doing? Why didn't you come together today?

There are good things at all times. Even in these chaotic and dark times, there is something that can make people feel warm.

Ma Teng and Han Sui came to Yinchuan one after another, which was a shocking thing for Liangzhou, but in the whole world, not too many people cared. For the vast majority of people in the world, Xiliang is just a very distant, very remote place, although the Xiliang army once broke through Chencang, but so what? The rebellions of the Qiang people have been going on for more than a hundred years, and now they are just making a bigger fuss, and in the end, they have not been beaten back by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court?

The Xiliang cavalry is brave and good at fighting, which everyone knows, but everyone also knows that those Xiliang people have never been a climate. Just wait for the court to free up its hand, and then you can press them to death, if the court can still free up your hand.

This year has been an eventful year, and the eastward advance of the Xiliang Army again is just a small episode. After killing the envoys of the imperial court, Dong Zhuo, the governor of the state, brazenly played the name of the Qing monarch, and the princes of Kwantung responded in groups, and gradually formed two major military groups, centered on Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jizhou, and Yin Yuanshu of Henan.

Dong Zhuo took advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to resist the Liangzhou army, united with the white glass thief Guo Tai and the black mountain thief Zhang Yan, crossed the Yellow River with his troops, and entered Hongnong County, directly approaching Luoyang. Although He Jin had many soldiers and horses, he had to divide his troops to resist the Kwantung princes, so that Dong Zhuojun almost killed him all the way into the Luoyang Basin.

Seeing that He Jin's forces were about to collapse, the scholars and officials in Luoyang City fled one after another, and the people were also shocked three times a day. However, at this time, the combined forces of Huangfu Song and Ding Yuan finally withdrew their hands from the west and joined the Central Plains battlefield.
