Chapter 126: Ma Teng joins the army
The Han is more than eight feet tall, majestic and extraordinary, with Hu blood at a glance, and the nose and eyes are different from the Han people.
The little official recognized the person, "Lord Taishou, he is the Ma Teng you are looking for." ”
"Oh, he's Ma Teng?" Hearing that the person who came was Ma Teng, Fu Xie jumped off the horse, took a few steps forward, and said: "Xiaguan Hanyang County Taishou, Fu Xie, I have seen Ma Teng's strong man." ”
Seeing that the person who came claimed to be Hanyang Taishou, Dahan hurriedly put down the firewood and saluted back: "Don't dare to be a Taishou Dashou, the grass man Ma Teng has seen Master Fu." ”
"Ma Teng, I know that your name is Shoucheng, so I will call you Shoucheng, okay?"
"How dare you, how dare you, Master Fu is so polite, let's go into the house and say something."
At this time, Ma Teng saw that there were still four officials lying on the steps of his house, and his eldest son Ma Chao was holding a big gun, blocking the door.
"Chao'er, you're messing around again, see how I clean you up, and still don't let you go?"
"Father, you are not at home, they want to go in, and they don't want to do anything with me, bullying me?"
"It's still hard-mouthed, Lord Taishou is here, do you have a part in making the times?" After that, Ma Teng raised a big slap and was about to do it, but Ma Chao was not afraid, he looked like he was beating and scolding.
Fu Xie hurriedly grabbed Ma Teng's hand, "Shoucheng, it's also my people who are reckless and collided with Ma Chaogongzi, don't blame him, let's go, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Ma Teng let Fu Xie into the main hall and asked his wife to make tea. He accompanied Fu Xie to talk.
Fu Xie looked at the room, it was really a house with four walls, only a bunch of things in the corner of the living room, but it was very eye-catching.
Ma Chao didn't say a word, and followed the two into the living room, standing in front of the pile of things.
Ma Teng was also a little embarrassed when he saw Fu Xie looking around. "Master Fu smiled, the family is poor, and the valuable things have long been sold, so I rely on me to chop wood and my friends to help me, and barely survive."
Fu Xie also sighed after hearing this, "Shou Cheng is a descendant of General Fubo, after the famous family, I don't want to end up in such a situation, it's really embarrassing, but I came here this time to congratulate Shou Cheng." ”
Ma Teng asked curiously: "Master Fu, don't make fun of me, where does the joy come from?" ”
"Shou Cheng, the new Lord Assassin Shi Geng wants to quell the rebellion of Han Sui and others, and is recruiting new troops in various counties, Liangzhou has never lacked elite soldiers, but it lacks the talent of a general like Shou Cheng."
"I recommended you to Lord Thorn Shi, and Lord Geng has also heard of you, and has agreed to recruit you, and appointed you to serve in the army."
Ma Teng frowned slightly, "The new Liangzhou assassin is contemptible, right?" Seeing Fu Xie nodded, Ma Teng continued: "I heard that he reused the treacherous and greedy Cheng Qiu as a business, such a loyal and traitorous dumb official, what should I do to protect him?" ”
Fu Xie guessed that Ma Teng would ask this question before he came, and replied immediately: "Shoucheng, you are in the army this time, it is for the country and the people, not for him, the people of Liangzhou have suffered from the war, Han Sui's rebels will not be eliminated for a day, and Liangzhou will not be peaceful for a day." ”
"Besides, you can't bear to watch this new army fall into the hands of incompetent people, can you? Bear to watch the soldiers of the Han and Qiang tribes die unjustly on the battlefield? A general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, have you ever heard this sentence? ”
Ma Teng couldn't help but be touched when he heard Fu Xie say this, how could he be willing to use his skills to chop wood to survive after Ma Ai?
What's more, the three men in the family were growing up, and they couldn't afford to spend their own firewood.
The salary of the army can live in peace, so I will go to the new army in Liangzhou to go for a while.
Thinking of this, he arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Master Fu's care, Ma Teng is willing to be called to join the army, and I also have a good brother, a native of Nan'an County, called Pang De, and he also has the courage of ten thousand people, I want to invite him to join the army with me." ”
Fu Xie was overjoyed, "Shou Cheng said that he was a hero, that must be good, of course welcome, then set off with me!" ”
Ma Teng should be, but his face turned red again, "Master Fu, I don't know if I can advance my salary for a few months?" To tell you the truth, the family is about to run out of food. ”
Fu Xie patted his head, "Don't blame Shoucheng, I was negligent." After that, he took out a bag of things from his arms, "This is fifty taels of silver, Shoucheng will take it to settle down in the family first, and when he arrives in the army, he will pay his salary on time." ”
Ma Teng was short of silver, and he didn't push him, thanked Fu Xie, and handed the silver to Ma Chao, "Chao'er, you take the silver to your mother, I'm not at home, you are the big man of the Ma family, take care of your mother and younger brothers." ”
Ma Chao pursed his lips, "Father, I want to charge into battle with you and exterminate the rebels." ”
Ma Teng made a face, "Nonsense, you're only thirteen, do you think you can go into battle and kill the enemy after learning a few marksmanship?" Don't worry, practice for another three years, and when you're sixteen, come to the army to find me. ”
After Ma Teng finished teaching Ma Chao, he looked at Fu Xie, "Master Fu wait for a while, I'll change into armor, and we'll set off." ”
With that, he walked to the pile of covered things in the corner of the room.
When the curtain was lifted, it turned out that underneath was a clothes rack, and on the shelf was a set of heavy armor, from helmets to combat boots.
It still looks a little old, but it is made of fine workmanship and fine materials. Usually, the owner must also wipe it often, the armor is bright and spotless.
Look closely, there are faint traces, it must be armor that has been on the battlefield. In front of the armor lay a long-handled broadsword, the back of which was much thicker than an ordinary broadsword, and it was full of weight.
The knife edge is bright and polished. When Fu Xie saw these things, he asked, "General Shoucheng, these things are... ”
"Back to Lord Fu, this set of equipment was passed down by the ancestor General Fubo, and it was only passed on to the eldest sons and grandchildren of each generation. The sword technique is also passed down from the ancestors, but it is a pity that no one can restore the former style of the ancestors. ”
After listening to this, Fu Xie had some questions, "General Shoucheng, you said that General Fubo passed down the knife technique, but I saw that Ma Chaoxian's nephew used marksmanship, and the marksmanship was very outstanding, what is going on?" ”
Ma Teng listened to Fu Xie's question, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Chao'er has also learned the Ma family's knife technique with me since he was a child, but later he heard about the heroic deeds of Lu Bu, the general of Duliao, and regarded him as an idol. ”
"But the horse lance is such a scarce weapon, where can I get it, so I have to teach him marksmanship, my marksmanship dare not meet people, where is enough for him to learn, and later I visited famous masters in Liangzhou to learn marksmanship."
"Once in Longxian, it was raining heavily, and the two of us took shelter from the rain in a dilapidated temple, and when we were idle, Chao'er practiced marksmanship."
At this time, an old man took a fancy to Chao'er and asked him if he would like to learn marksmanship? Can you endure hardship? Chao'er is willing. ”
"The old man returned to Ji County with us, he lived outside the city, Chao'er went to learn marksmanship every day, if it was three years, I don't know where the old man was, and the marksmanship taught to Chao'er was much better than the Ma family's knife skills, and the exercise of Chao'er was full of divine power, and he grew a lot taller."
Ma Teng said this, looked at Ma Chao, and continued, "At the beginning of this year, I said goodbye, leaving only a letter, saying that Chao'er is the third apprentice he has accepted in this life, and he also has two senior brothers, both of whom are also outstanding in marksmanship. ”
"He also said that Chao'er is the most talented of the three, and he has already taught each other, as long as Chao'er insists on practicing according to the method he taught, he will definitely become the most powerful of his three apprentices."
The next story, will gradually deviate from the original historical trajectory, there will be a big difference in time and even in order, don't read it as a history book, and don't read it as Lu Bu of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it's just a simple crossing, if there are similarities, it's pure coincidence, and again, there is no Diao Chan in this book, only Chan'er, I don't like Diao Chan.
