These days, the reason why Ma Chao felt uneasy was because before he set out on the expedition, Ma Teng had looked for him.

After expelling Hua Xin from Ma's core group, Ma Chao knew that Ma Teng would talk to him. Prior to this, Ma Chao had already made up a reason to explain that Hua Xin was not suitable to participate in the affairs of the Ma family, so as to perfunctory Ma Teng.

But in fact, after Ma Teng just took a sip of tea slowly, he didn't ask about it, but opened his mouth to ask, "What is my son?" ”

"A boy is born in troubled times, so he naturally gets drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman and wakes up to the power of the world!"

Ma Chao hated that he didn't have a brain, so he blurted out these words. And as soon as the words came out, he slapped himself twice and regretted it.

Ma Teng's cup of tea trembled visibly twice. But Ma Teng immediately calmed down and continued to ask: "Why not follow the will of the ancestors, calm the sea, and leave a name for a thousand years?" ”

"A pillar of high standards is dangerous, and the Nanban does not dare to violate the Central Plains. Success is self-cohesive, what is the injustice? Ma Chao was angry and looked extremely unhappy.

This poem is the "Bronze Pillar" written by Hu Zeng of the Tang Dynasty, and the meaning of the whole poem is to complain about Ma Yuan's failure to be crowned an official and a false accusation after his death.

In the sixteenth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (40 AD), the Jiaozhi women rebelled against the central government of the Eastern Han Empire. The rebels captured more than 60 cities, including Jiuzhen and Hepu, and established themselves as kings.

In 41 A.D., Emperor Guangwu named Ma Yuan as General Fubo, and ordered him to command an army of 100,000 to conquer Jiaozhi in the south.

With his outstanding military skills, Ma Yuan put down the rebellion the following year.

During the southern expedition, Ma Yuan led 100,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 large and small ships to Wuman Beach on the Yujiang River in Hengxian County, but was blocked by the dangerous current of the beach. The mountains on both sides of the Yujiang River are high and the valleys are deep, and thieves often haunt them, so General Ma Yuan asked the army to set up camp here.

Ma Yuan ordered the soldiers to mill the reef with iron tools and dredge the waterway, while organizing the army to suppress the thieves. It also builds water conservancy in the local area and encourages agriculture.

After the dredging of the waterway, the local people and their descendants have benefited a lot, greatly facilitating the exchange and trade of boats. In order to appreciate the merits of Ma Yuan, the local people built the Fubo Temple on the site of the general Ma Yuan's tent on the shore of Wuman Beachhead.

But what about the final outcome of Ma Yuan?

When Ma Yuan was in the south to conquer Jiaozhi, he was instructed by the natives to eat barley to relieve dampness and defeat the miasma. The coix in the south is big, and Ma Yuan wants to bring it back to the north as seeds.

When the class teacher returned to the court, he carried a cart of barley, and everyone thought that it was "a treasure of the southern soil". Shi Ma Yuan was favored, and no one dared to say anything. After Ma Yuan's death, someone sued Yun Ma Yuan that what he had brought back was not Coix, but "Mingzhu Wenxi". Emperor Guangwu was furious and recovered Ma Yuanxinxihou's seal. Ma Yuan's wife and son were so frightened that they didn't dare to bury Ma Yuan's coffin to their ancestors, so they had to bury them hastily in the west of the city, and the guests and deceased did not dare to come to mourn.

A generation of highly decorated generals, an honest and respectable loyal minister. If you can't seal your wife and son during your lifetime, you will forget it, but after you die, you will have to suffer unjustified injustice, causing future generations to be displaced and trapped for a lifetime. Such a deed has already made Ma Chao's heart cold. Not to mention, he, the person who travels through himself, does not have the idea of being loyal to the monarch and fooling to death.

"Father, since ancient times, rabbits and dead dogs have been cooked, and the famous generals are wronged. You've been fighting all your life, haven't you even realized this? Ma Chao stared at Ma Teng's eyes and slowly asked these words.

"Ranjun let the minister die, and the minister had to die......" Ma Teng sighed helplessly, and was about to continue, but saw Ma Chao open his mouth and replied:

"The prince will be Xiangning?!"

'Smack'.

The teacup in Ma Teng's hand finally broke into pieces, and his face turned pale.

When things came to this, Ma Teng Ma Chao and his son didn't say anything more, only the broken teacups and the rising water vapor gradually disappeared into the air, giving the whole room a cold and sad atmosphere.

"Father, ...... you" Ma Chao saw Ma Teng's expression at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

However, Ma Teng just waved his hand and asked Ma Chao to retreat.

"Chao'er, my father has handed over the Ma family's foundation to you, and you have done a good job. If you have any wishes, go for them......"

In the end, Ma Teng's muttering, Ma Chao didn't hear it clearly. Perhaps, Ma Teng also planned not to let Ma Chao hear it at all.

It's just the scene of looking at Ma Teng for the last time, the father sitting on the chair, the broken teacup and the disappearing heat always make Ma Chao feel faintly uneasy in his heart. I always feel that these days, it seems that something big is going to happen.

This feeling lasted until he learned about the source of information from Xiao Tian's mouth, and it was only slightly better: Ma Teng's ambition was to emulate Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo, and become a famous general who was loyal to the Han family. And the young emperor Fang Jin was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, and Ma Teng was afraid that the only thing to do was to enter the king of Jingqin. As long as he captures Yongzhou as soon as possible, he will control the military power of the Ma family and the intelligence of Chang'an. Even though Na Ma Teng has a diligent king, he can't do anything.

As for the name of unfilial piety, I can only persuade Ma Teng in the future. After all, compared to reputation, Ma Chao feels that it is more important to protect his Lao Tzu first.

"Diao Chan, Diao Chan, what should I do to be able to trust you......" Thinking of the intelligence, Ma Chao couldn't help but think of Diao Chan. But her proposal made Ma Chao love and hate.

"Chao'er, who is Diao Chan?" Jia Xu was slowly following Ma Chao, and when he heard Ma Chao exhaling softly, he couldn't help but ask with some interest.

Ma Chao glanced back at Jia Xu, his eyes were not happy or sad, but there was some surprise.

Ma Chao was surprised that Jia Xu often had a bureaucratic style, spoke very little, and his demeanor was even more gloomy. From time to time, he squints, giving people the feeling of an old fox meditating. never thought that Jia Xu's kung fu was quite good. After using the bilateral stirrups, he can even gallop back and forth, and if it is paired with the famous sword in his hand, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a few ordinary soldiers to hurt him.

Jia Xu saw Ma Chao's surprise and explained indifferently: "The old man grew up in Liangzhou since he was a child, how can he ride a horse?" ”

Come to think of it, Jia Xu, who is full of gangsters, is probably the most alternative representative of all the strategists in the late Han Dynasty. Not to mention that he can ride a horse, just say that he can fight a few rounds with a few eighteen-year-old girls, and Ma Chao will not be surprised.

Of course, Jia Xu didn't know Ma Chao's thoughts, but asked again: "Who is Diao Chan, why does Chao'er remember it so much?" ”

"Do I remember her? How did I not know? ”

"Along the way, in seven days of marching, you have whispered this name four hundred and ninety-three times......"

Ma Chao slapped his forehead and reluctantly admitted: This man is really an animal who is easy to see strange thoughts. Even if it's because of the intelligence, he cares about it, but if he says that he doesn't think anything about Diao Chan......

At this point, in desperation, Ma Chao told Jia Xu about Diao Chan, hoping that Jia Xu, the old fox, could come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. But after Jia Xu heard about it, he actually laughed, which made Ma Chao confused.

"Chao'er, you are now the best choice in terms of military, strategy, skill, vision, etc. But there's only one thing you're missing......"

"Which point?"

"A man's and a woman's business!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's only you who got on that Diao Chan, don't say it's intelligence, even if you want her to die, she won't hesitate."

Ma Chao glanced at Jia Xu in a daze, looking lonely. Thinking of the red rabbit horse under his crotch, holding the Fang Tian painting halberd, and the majestic god of war Lu Bu, he finally just whispered two words: "Get out!" ”

And Jia Xu didn't think it was a pestle at all, but just whispered: "Hehe, I think back then, the old man was as pure as you." But, Chao'er, you never know how important a woman's first day is to them. Just like the she-wolf on the grassland, after obeying a wolf king, she will never mate with other wild wolves again, and even if she is bitten to death, she will not give in......"

And Ma Chao was just heartbroken: Do you really want to change the beauty plan that has been passed down through the ages?
