Qi Wannian plundered all the way to pull the tribe to the vicinity of Tianshui, and some of the Di people here moved back to Yinping and Wudu under the leadership of Yang Wan, but there were still many people who stayed there. Qi Wannian came over not only to absorb the nearby Di people to strengthen himself, but also because Tianshui is a key place connecting the east and west of Longxi, north and south. Therefore, Tianshui was threatened by the Hu people from all directions, and Yang had no choice but to move back to Wudu to protect the entire clan.

For Qi Wannian, the situation is just the opposite, sitting here can disturb the Quartet, retreating will not be cut off, and it is a very suitable place to stay.

Since Qi Wannian raised the flag of rebellion, there have also been many Hu people who can't survive to vote one after another. After Hao San and Hao Duyuan finished discussing, Hao Duyuan pretended to serve the Hu people and came to Qi Wannian to discuss the matter of jointly attacking Sima Shu.

Hao Duyuan has been king with his brother Zhanshan since he was a child, and he just practiced his skills after doing business, and soon passed the test and was brought to Qi Wannian.

Qi Wannian is appeasing the newcomers. The court was noisy.

Ma Xian hurriedly said: "Brother Gongju, you listen to me." Xiping is the boundary of the Qiang people, not my Huaxia rivers and mountains. At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the border by force, and the soldiers died nine times in a foreign land, but they were also able to worship the generals, and they were extremely glorious. But now, it is no longer the Han Dynasty, it is the Jin Dynasty that only looks at the door! If it was in the Han Dynasty, let alone the feudal marquis, the old prince would have been a feudal official and even entered the center, and maybe he would open a mansion for the public or even worship the prime minister. However, the old prince was only captained by Jiadong Qiang, and he was named a marquis who was only a remote leader and had no benefits. Moreover, since the founding of the country, the only one who can get a high position is the old prince and marquis. This is called a soldier on the border, can you not chill? ”

The more Ma Xian spoke, the more excited he became, and he continued: "Even in the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Cao Cāo of Wei Wu said 'meritocracy', how many poor people in the world have been moved? That's why Dian Wei will die for him in Nanyang, so Xu You will defect for him in Guandu, so after the fiasco in Chibi, Wei can still move its foundation. If the current saint is a heroic hero like Emperor Wei Wu, even if I, Zhu, have become a white-haired and toothless old man, I will stick to the border of Xiping, because at least there is hope of getting ahead! But now, I don't know what the saint thinks, he only looks at the door, doesn't ask about talent, and all the people in power are Hongnong Yang and Taiyuan Wang's group of wine bags and rice bags. You and me, those who are from poor families, have no choice but to abandon their dignity and speculate. ”

Yang Cheng's body trembled slightly, he let out a long breath, and his face was already slightly red after taking a sip of wine, and said, "Alas! The white head is famous, this is a good saying, you are the one who has read the book. I think that at the beginning, it was still the Wei Dynasty of the Cao family, I joined the army at the age of fourteen, and my wife had just married me. But I was bent on flying and flourishing, and I was bent on being able to be a marquis. I am thousands of miles away, abandon my parents, wife and children, and join the army of Deng Ai, the general of the expedition to the west, participate in the war of exterminating Shu, and almost lose my life in the battle of Mianzhu. Our army went deep into the barren, raided Chengdu, died nine times and destroyed Shu Han. It is unimaginable that General Deng, who made the first contribution, was killed by traitors! And I was only rewarded by the court with ten pieces of cloth, ten pieces of cloth...... The soaring Huang Tengda, the feudal marquis I want, have been blocked by those high-ranking scholars! ”

Speaking of excitement, Yang Cheng almost burst into tears, and Ma Xian was also entangled in his heart when he heard it. Zhu Mo continued: "When I returned home with ten pieces of cloth, you may not know that in those years, due to Dong Zhuo's chaotic government and indiscriminate creation of small money, small money and fake money are all over the world, so the cloth was used as money by the people. Ten pieces of cloth is a good income, and I take it home and think that it will be a good life. As a result, I went back to find out that my wife was robbed by the powerful in the village to be a concubine, and my old father and mother were worried about me...... I thought I had died in Bashu a long time ago, but they were the old couple a year ago...... and died......"

Yang Cheng said this, and finally couldn't help crying.

Ma Xian was excited when he heard this, and said angrily: "In this world, why is there always such injustice, why do the saints always listen to slander and only trust those high-ranking scholars!" ”

Yang Cheng wiped his tears and said with a wry smile: "Ziquan, don't you know. This Great Jin Dynasty was originally established by the Gaomen Shi clan, and the Shengshang clan was the first Gaomen Hanoi Sima clan in the world. ”

Ma Xian said: "Then Brother Yang, how did you get into the Su Guards?" ”

Yang Cheng waved his hand and said: "Once a person has nothing to worry about, he is alone, and he sees everything lightly, so he naturally dares to fight and gamble." At that time, I took the sword of the general of the Shu army captured on the battlefield of Pingwu, sneaked into the house of Haoqiang in Dao Village late at night, and killed their family, including the woman who betrayed me! ”

Yang Cheng was silent, secretly thinking that Zhu Mo was really vicious, wasn't that woman robbed by Haoqiang? Is it not betrayal if you commit suicide? Maybe he is a modern person, and his concept is different from his.

Yang Cheng continued: "After killing so many people, I naturally can't stay in my hometown. I had to die at the end of the world and make the world my home. Later, I went to Youzhou, mixed in the Huns to do some small business to make a living, there is a Hun handsome handsome changed to a black dog, this person is extraordinary, I worship him as a godfather, follow him in Hedong to do some business, play with life, sometimes collude with Xianbei to rob the house. As a result, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, several Hun bandits were exterminated, and my godfather and I surrendered at this time, and the imperial court had to select hardcover from the Hu people every year to supplement the guards, and my godfather and I were selected after surrendering, and the godfather became the team leader, and I became the captain, so I made a mistake and entered the guard army of my dreams. ”

"When I entered the guard, I woke up like a dream. This is a place to make meritorious contributions, this is obviously a place to be a housekeeper for the emperor's relatives and relatives! The Su Guards are equipped with the finest equipment, the finest armor, and have a crossbow that I still don't know how to make. But such an army is not used to fight against Hu Lu, nor is it used to suppress bandits, but only to protect the emperor's relatives and relatives as watchdogs. On the contrary, the armies that fought against the Hu people, as well as the armies that I had participated in before, wore the most tattered leather armor, held rusty broken knives, and held inferior wooden bows that could be broken, and the things in this world are so ridiculous. ”

"So in this year and age, the white head is famous, and the white head is still not famous! Later, General Ma Lao won the Western Expedition, and the imperial court transferred a part of the Yamen Army to supplement, and we marched into Xiping. My godfather, because he wanted to compete with me, I didn't think about his affection for me, and during the bloody battle with the Qiang people, I shot him with a Qiang arrow! And I made the greatest contribution in that battle, and General Ma Lao did not go to the imperial court, and directly killed more than a dozen Yamen Army officers who were greedy for life and afraid of death and escaped from the battle, and then promoted me to be the supreme commander of this Yamen Army - Jun Sima. If it weren't for the old general Arima, I would only be pressed by the wretched waste of those high gates for the rest of my life, and I would never have been able to get ahead. ”

Yang Cheng took another sip, and then said: "I am already satisfied to be able to go to Chang'an and become a captain." I have no interest in the future of going to Luoyang, because I have been in Luoyang, and that place is not something that we little characters can live in, it is a dirty place to throw away dignity and face. What I want most now is to reunite with my family, to wait for my own son to be born, and to give my son a solid family in Chang'an, so that he can also live a life of bullying, and that is enough. As for me, I'm old and tired, I can't tolerate those young people pointing at me, and I get annoyed when I see dignitaries. Can...... But I had to fulfill the order, had to abandon my family and children, and reluctantly returned to Luoyang. Continue to look at the faces of those bastards, and continue to nod to those who can't even ride horses, I ......"
