Chapter 90: The Horse (4)
Chapter 90: Horses (4)
Seeing the Ma family's compound that was repaired like a fortress, as well as the armored soldiers all over the inside and outside, Chen Cheng turned his head to look at Yan Zhong. Yan Zhong took his gaze and raised his eyebrows, indicating that he didn't know what he meant. Chen Cheng has some regrets in his heart, it seems that everyone has not yet reached the point of having a heart.
Ma Teng stood at the door and said with a smile: "Princess, Julu Hou, this is the residence of the minister." Inside, there are already food and drinks, please come in. ”
Chen Cheng pressed the "Seven Star Treasure Knife" on his waist, grabbed Liu Qian, stood at the door and did not move, the corners of his mouth unconsciously sneered.
Ma Teng saw it and asked, "Why is this Juluhou?" ”
Chen Cheng looked at the large red dots on both sides of the small map, and then looked at the green color in front of him that indicated friendly troops, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I don't know why General Ma ambushed so many soldiers and horses on both sides of the mansion?" ”
Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw Ma Chao looking sideways away, Ma Dai lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, and he didn't see the general Pang De, so he understood a little in his heart, he arched his hand towards Chen Cheng, and said, "Juluhou wait a moment." ”
He turned around and roared angrily: "Pound, get out of here with your people!" ”
Ma Teng is eight feet tall, and he looks even thicker than Ma Chao, and when he roars angrily, half of the city can hear it. After a while, Pound and dozens of generals came out of the houses on both sides. They walked out into the street, and all but the man in front of them hung their heads down.
Ma Teng said angrily to the person in front: "You led troops to ambush near my house, do you want to rebel?" ”
Pound was eight feet tall, his face was a little dark, he was wearing a blue battle robe, iron armor, and his head was held high to face Ma Teng. Even though the anger on Ma Teng's face became more and more intense, he still stood in place like an iron tower, without retreating half a minute.
Seeing him like this, Ma Teng's anger dissipated a lot, he snorted, and said, "I know that you have always been cautious, and this kind of thing is not something you can do to transfer troops privately. Say, "Who commanded you?" ”
Ma Teng said to Pound, but his eyes drifted to Ma Chao. Ma Chao stood up and raised his head and said, "Yes, I asked Ling Ming to bring the troops over!" Father, I .........."
Ma Teng was furious and shouted, "What am I? Still on your knees? ”
Ma Chao had an unconvinced expression on his face, gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, and Pang De and other generals on the side also knelt down with him. Ma Teng had a gloomy face, took off the whip, whipped it in the air, and then walked towards Ma Chao. At this time, Chen Cheng stepped forward and grabbed Ma Teng and said, "Presumably there is some misunderstanding in this, General Ma, please calm your anger." ”
Ma Teng struggled a few times, but found that Chen Cheng's hands were like iron tongs, and he couldn't break free at all. He was also a fierce general of the three armies, and his strength was far beyond ordinary people, although he is now older and rarely fights in person, but his strength has not declined. Ma Teng felt surprised again in his heart, and said in his heart: With this strength alone, it is enough to run rampant.
He turned his head and said to Chen Cheng: "This is the dog Meng Qi, who is very stubborn on weekdays, but it makes Julu Hou smile." ”
Chen Chengxin said: It turns out that this is Jin Ma Chao, and he is really talented and worthy of the word "Jin". He smiled and said: "Where, the young general's watch of the sky, the dragon and the phoenix, should be the lintel of the Ma family." ”
Ma Teng shouted at Ma Chao: "It's because I spoil you too much on weekdays, which makes you lawless now!" Have you ever thanked Juluhou? ”
Ma Chao's eyes spurted with anger and hatred, and he reluctantly said, "Thank you, Juluhou." ”
Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Meng Qi, hurry up, young man, you have to have this kind of energy." General Ma Teng, we have all been young, so we should be considerate of young people. ”
When the people on the side heard this, their faces were strange. Ma Teng looked at Chen Cheng and then at Ma Chao, and the expression on his face became subtle. Only Yan Zhong is a true celebrity, and he laughed when he heard this.
Yan Zhong said: "The prince is really funny when he speaks, haha. ”
Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood, he touched his face and said with a smile: "I'm just young, and I'm actually much older than Meng Qi." General Ma, let's stop talking on the street, there are many people here, and it makes people laugh. ”
Ma Teng snorted at Ma Chao and said, "Get up!" ”
He turned around and said to Chen Cheng and Liu Qian: "Princess, Julu Hou, please!" ”
Chen Cheng smiled and took Liu Qian's hand and walked inside. Ma Chao followed behind Ma Teng with a gloomy face, and also crossed the threshold. On the street, the generals and colonels who had just stood up looked at me, I looked at you, and finally they all looked at Pang De together and asked, "General Pang, this ........?"
Pang De is not smiling, strict and self-disciplined, and has a high prestige in the army, and now Ma Teng and Ma Chao have entered the house, and the soldiers outside naturally regard Pang De as the backbone. Pound was silent for a while, and said, "Collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”
The generals breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and said in unison: "No! ”
No matter how much the lord and the young general don't deal with each other, everyone is father and son, and those of them who are subordinates, of course it is best not to get involved in this kind of thing, and no one is afraid that they have lived too long.
Everything in Xiliang cannot be compared with Luoyang, whether it is architecture, wine and food, it is not as good as one-tenth of Luoyang City. There is not only a lack of craftsmen in Pengyang City, but also a lack of chefs, and at the banquet that Ma Teng put out, the dishes were only cooked or grilled, and the only thing that was commendable was that the portions were full.
Outside the lobby, Ma Teng untied the ring knife from his waist, then took off his shoes and walked up. Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong also untied the weapons they were wearing, and then entered the hall with Liu Qian. The position of Princess Liu Qian of Wannian and Chen Cheng's leaned together. She was still young and couldn't drink, so she watched Chen Cheng and Ma Teng saluting each other there.
Ma Teng was originally going to give up the position of leader, but Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong both resolutely excused and persuaded him, so he sat on it. Chen Cheng, Yan Zhong, and Princess Wannian Liu Qian sat on his right hand, and Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Dai and others sat on his left hand.
In addition to Ma Chao, several descendants of the Ma family were very curious about Princess Wannian, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu bit their ears from time to time to speak,
But his eyes were always looking at her. Ma Tie whispered: "It's the real princess, I don't know if she can shoot a rabbit?" Why don't you ask? ”
Matthew laughed at him and said, "What stupid thing are you talking about? The princess definitely can't shoot a rabbit! ”
He affirmed: "I heard that the princess and the son of heaven live in the palace, and there are many cows and sheep in it, and they can eat one every day, and they don't need to shoot rabbits!" ”
Ma Tie said enviously: "So that's the case." I also want to live in the palace, and I want to kill sheep and eat them every day! ”
He suddenly became worried again, bit his brother's ear and said, "You say, will the princess eat up our sheep?" ”
Matthew was taken aback and whispered, "Won't it?" ”
Ma Chao was upset by the quarrel of several brothers, squinted at them, and shouted: "What is the noise? Drink honestly! ”
Ma Tie was not afraid of Ma Chao at this time, stretched his neck, and shouted: "Ada, big brother, he is murdering me again!" ”
Ma Teng snorted, and was about to speak, Yan Zhong smiled: "At the banquet, General Ma should not be angry." General Fubo had pacified Longyou, Weizhen Liangzhou, and later went to the expedition to Jiaozhi, marked with copper columns, whether in the south or in the north, have made great achievements, throughout the history books, can be like Fubo generals, it can be said that there are very few. ”
He raised his wine glass and said, "For the sake of General Fubo's great martial arts, please General Ma drink this cup full!" ”
Yan Zhong is a native of Hanyang, and he is very clear about Ma Yuan's deeds, and what he said tickled the itch in Ma Teng's heart, making Ma Teng laugh. It was Ma Chao, hearing that Yan Zhong praised the ancestors so much, his face looked a lot better. Although Ma Xiu and Ma Tie are members of the Ma family, they grew up in a mixed environment of Qiang and Hu, but they are not very clear about Ma Yuan's deeds, and at this time they also stopped talking to each other and listened to Yan Zhong's talk there.
After pushing the cup and changing the lamp for several rounds, Chen Cheng saw that Liu Qian began to doze off again, so he said to Ma Teng: "I'm already very tired from running around for days, so let's stop here today." After a few days of rest, I will feast the general again. ”
Ma Teng also noticed Liu Qian, who began to peck at the rice, and hurriedly said: "I have just ordered someone to clean up the county government not far away, and the princess and the Julu Marquis will go to rest for the time being." Wait for me to invite the heroes inside and outside the county, and then invite a few more to the banquet. ”
Chen Cheng smiled: "General Ma is too polite. ”
He stood up, held Princess Wannian in his arms, and said, "I'll take my leave." ”
Before leaving, Chen Cheng glanced at Ma Chao on the side, and the other party was also looking at him, his eyes full of anger.
Chen Cheng smiled and walked out. I've been in this world for a long time and I've seen a lot of celebrities. Liu Bei is deep and generous, and there is no need to say it again. Although Cao Cao wanted to trap him, he was also generous and heroic. Among the others, Guan Yu is brave, Zhang Fei is fierce, and Zhao Yun is loyal, all of them are heroes in the world.
After he heard that Pengyang was Ma Teng's territory, he was still looking forward to seeing Ma Chao. After meeting, the other party did not disappoint him, sure enough, his face was as majestic as jade, and he deserved the name of "Jinma Chao", but it seemed that there was something missing..... Reason, as if it is going to be angry at all times.
The people of Xiliang are fierce, and the local powerful factions are unruly, otherwise they would not have troubled the Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years. But it is rare to be grumpy to the point of being like Ma Chao. He is naturally not as good as heroes like Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and compared with Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei, he is also less loyal and more rebellious.
Chen Cheng took sixty horsemen to live in the county government not far away, he first arranged for Liu Qian to sleep, and then let Yan Zhong, who was sleepy, go to rest. Yan Zhong was still waiting to help arrange the affairs of the guards, but he couldn't open his eyes. Just now, he was smiling at the banquet, but after he came out, he immediately stopped.
"Okay, Bodao, you go to sleep first, I'll watch the things here."
After arranging the rotation of the guards in the county office, Chen Cheng slept on the bed with his clothes together. Before going to bed, he thought in a daze: From today's events, it can be seen that Ma Teng is not very strict in governing the army, and Ma Chao is short-tempered. Nor is it a trustworthy person. But the more intense the horse, the more refreshing it is to ride........
Hey, why are there so many yards?
Soon, he was asleep. He slept well no matter what time of day or where. But as long as there is a slight change in the outside world, it will quickly wake up.
