Cai Yong, a writer and calligrapher of the Eastern Han Dynasty, saw him in a high-crowned dress, and was bowed by Ma Chao, and said: "Meng Qi, a few days ago, His Majesty gave a marriage, my eldest daughter Wen Ji, who has been proficient in music since she was a child, once said that her future husband will also know music and rhythm." ”

Do I rub?

Ma Chao was depressed, he really didn't understand the music at all, and how many people in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty could understand?

It's almost the same when you call Zhou Yu!

Thinking of this, Ma Chao replied: "Master Cai, Chao doesn't know anything about music and rhythm, how can this be good?" ”

Cai Yong smiled and said: "Wen Ji has another word, if you don't understand the rhythm of music, then you must be a young hero like Huo Quzhi, I believe that Meng Qi can definitely do it." ”

Huo Qu's disease?

At the age of 17, he won the whole army and was named the champion Hou; At the age of 19, he commanded the Battle of Hexi and was awarded the Xiongnu Sacrifice Tianjin; In the battle of Mobei, the wolf was sealed.

This can be done, after all, he is now 9 years old, and he is already General Fenwei, Captain Changshui, and Marquis of Hanwu Ting.

Ma Chao burst with self-confidence and said: "Don't say that when Huo Qu was sick at the age of 17, he was named the champion Hou, as long as Lord Cai believes in it, I will be the champion before the age of 15!" ”

"Oh? Hahahaha, Meng Qi hero, I'll wait and see! ”

After Cai Yong left, Ma Teng grabbed Ma Chao and asked, "Where did you get so much self-confidence?" Do you still want to be crowned champion before the age of 15? Since the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all parts of the country have stabilized, where are so many military exploits for you? ”

"Father, I don't dare to pack a ticket for anything else, as for what you said about the stable situation, I really don't dare to agree!"

Ma Teng frowned: "Chao'er, please speak carefully and listen to your father." ”

Ma Chao immediately took Ma Teng into the inner room, spread out the map, pointed to Wuyuan County and said: "Wuyuan County, one of the nine counties of Bingzhou, to the north are all Hu people, if we don't fight them, they will definitely come to beat us, this is one of them." ”

Referring to Liangzhou again: "I am sure that Han Yue will definitely unite with the Qiang people to rebel and cause rebellion, and when the time comes, the imperial court will have to recruit our army to quell the chaos, and this is the second." ”

Then pointed to Youzhou: "When I went south to conquer Zhangjiao, I first led the army to Youzhou, probably controlled the western part of Youzhou, and left Su Dingfang, Zhang Liao, Sima Cuo, and Zhang Xiu as the army to conquer Youzhou. But after the southern army of Hebei left, or died Youzhou Thorn Shi and a county guard, Su Dingfang was attacking Youzhou at this time, one day, I will lead the army to Youzhou, this is the third. ”

Finally, Ma Chao pointed to Kyoto Luoyang and said: "I have seen people's hearts for a long time, Dong Zhuo is cunning and insidious, capricious, I expect that in the future, this person will definitely make meritorious deeds and cause chaos in the government, my father has to think clearly, whether to follow Dong Zhuo to rebel, or to eliminate thieves for the Han Dynasty, this is the fourth!" ”

Putting away the map, Ma Chao summarized the preface: "There are a total of 4, one by one, it is foreseeable that my military exploits will definitely crown the whole army and be crowned the champion!" ”

Ma Teng was surprised by Ma Chao's opinion, seeing that the head of his analysis was the Tao, he really couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know what to say, so he simply stopped talking about it.

He asked: "Chao'er, as you expected, Han Yue will definitely rebel, so how about I return to Longxi County, move my family out, and rush to Wuyuan County to settle down?" ”

Ma Chao bowed his head and said: "This is very good, I will write a letter to the three county Simas of Wuyuan County, and when the time comes, they will send troops to meet my father, and my father will be accompanied by Lu Bu and Pang De, and I will rest assured." ”

At that moment, the plan had been decided, Ma Teng immediately went to pack his bags and prepare to leave, while Ma Chao went back to find Jia Xu.

"Master Jia, in your opinion, where should you go after the Yellow Turban Thieves Rebellion is over?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "What Meng Qi said seems to have a plan in his heart, so he might as well talk about it." ”

Ma Chao said what Ma Teng listened to, except for Dong Zhuo's one, a total of 3 things to listen to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu listened, nodded again and again, and said: "The Qianghu Rebellion, after many years, the imperial court spent a lot of money in the past, and wanted to exterminate Qianghu, but it did not work, but was seized by Qianghu and plundered everywhere. ”

While the two were still discussing, the scout suddenly came to report: "Report! A large number of Hu troops have gathered outside Wuyuan County! ”

Ma Chao also received a letter from Tian Yu, which said that Tian Yu had already set up a plan with Zhao and Xian Yu to defend the city, and Tian Yu and Zhao had set up military camps on both wings of Wuyuan County, relying on each other to fight each other.

Ma Chao replied: "Wuyuan County is the county town that our army is in extreme difficulty, and it is of great significance to our army, and it is of great importance to our army. ”

At the end of the letter, he said: "My father Ma Teng, from now on, has packed up and returned to Liangzhou Longxi County, and will move to Wuyuan County with his family in the near future. ”

After handing over the letter to the scout, Ma Chao decided to write another letter to Su Dingfang: "I heard that as a general, you must have seven qualities: ambition, change, knowledge, bravery, sexuality, honesty, and faith, so that you can be called a generation of famous generals." ”

"General Su, as the commander of the Northern Army, must be firm and persistent, regardless of difficulties, and be the first soldier; The reward must be done, and the punishment must be believed. ”

In this way, he will be able to lead the army to attack the city and conquer the land, and the momentum will be like a bamboo, and he will be invincible in battle. If one day, Youzhou can be in charge of the general and boost the prestige of our army, it is the greatest wish. ”

"Here, as a general of Fenwei, I only promoted Su Dingfang to the general of the Bingzhou Northern Army (5 products), and Zhang Liao, Sima Cuo, and Zhang Xiu as the protectors of the Bingzhou Northern Army. In all matters in Youzhou, General Su can act cheaply, and he doesn't have to tell me everything! ”

The next day, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhou Cangjin saw Ma Chao, and Liu Bei said: "Now that the Yellow Turban Thieves Rebellion has been pacified, the brothers are going to return to their hometown, and they have come to bid farewell to General Ma." ”

Damn, want to run?

No way!

Ma Chao's face darkened, and he sobbed gloomily: "Brother Xuande, in the past few days, I have established an extremely deep friendship with you, this is a friendship that surpasses ordinary brotherhood, and now, you are waiting to say goodbye, which really makes me heartbroken and heartbroken!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and cried, and deliberately hit his chest repeatedly with his fist, looking as if his heart was hurting.

When Liu Bei heard this, he only felt that his face was twitching, and he really wanted to jump up and fan the horse with a few big ears.

But when he looked to the side, Zhang Fei actually cried, Guan Yu also sighed and shook his head again and again, leaving only the honest man Zhou Cang still stunned in place, confused.

Not good, brotherly righteousness is unstable!

Liu Bei had no choice but to grit his teeth and thank: "Since General Fenwei values me and other brothers so much, I have no choice but to continue to stay by the general's side and bother again!" ”

At this time, Liu Guanzhang had just been married for not many days, and it would take some time for the two of them to follow Liu Bei with all their hearts, so that Liu Bei said one and they would never say two.

And this time difference is the best time for Ma Chao to get in the way.

After leaving Liu Guanzhang, Ma Chao found an opportunity and took Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to the street together.

On the side of the road, there was a stall selling sugar gourds, and Ma Chao said: "Oh, Yide, I told you last time, 100 strings!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and immediately took the silver taels handed over by Ma Chao, bought out all the sugar gourds on the stall, and distributed them to the big guys to eat together.

At this time, the three Guan Zhang Zhao were not very old, they had just reached adulthood, so they had no resistance to delicious food.

Ma Chao touched his chin and asked, "If I invent some gourmet pastries that you haven't eaten and open a shop, you say, is anyone willing to buy them?" ”

"That's for sure! If the general can make it, I Zhang Fei, the first to eat! ”

Foodie!!

Ma Chao was embarrassed, and planned to teach Chunlan to make some pastries and other snacks after he went back, and all of them were delicacies from the Qing Dynasty palace dining room, which was definitely a good thing that these slings had never heard of.

When he was still immersed in fantasy, Jia Xu sent someone to him: "General, the Lord Protector has something urgent to find you." ”
