Chapter Twenty-Five: This Horse Is Easy to Split Its Legs
In the seventh year of Han Guanghe, in June 184 AD, there was a continuous mountain range in the area of Nanping Cui Mountain of Youzhou Taishou Zhizhi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the mountains are not high, the earth and rocks are mixed. But it is undulating, bending and stretching for a hundred and ten miles, standing on the opposite side of the mountain range and watching from a distance, it feels like a circle of ups and downs of the river dam. And he is a small fish in the river.
In the middle of this mountain range, there is a strange peak.
It's not that it's called a strange peak, it's not that it looks majestic, but that it's a little strange on this peak. Other peaks change throughout the year, but this mountain peak is the same for all seasons. Occasionally, there are a few heavy snowfalls in winter, and this is the fastest place to melt.
A local hunter once said that when he was hunting in the mountains, he saw a white snake, the snake was thousands of feet long, and its head was in a cave on the left side of the mountain, swallowing spiritual energy. The tail frolicks at the bottom of the stream on the right side of the mountain.
When Ma Xiu heard about this rumor, he personally took Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to check it. Halfway up from this mountain, there is a karst cave with a diameter of more than two zhang, which spews water vapor out all year round. The entrance to the cave was pitch black, and a stone was thrown, and only a half-sound of ping-pong was heard before it stopped deep underground. It is estimated that it was winding in the mountains and reached the foot of the mountain.
Locals say that living in it is the son of the White Emperor who was killed by Gaozu in Mangdang Mountain. Because it couldn't recover from its injuries for a while by the Imperial Sword, it hid in this Pingcui Mountain to recuperate.
For this reason, our Han clan relatives Liu Yan and Liu Taishou also sent people to personally enter the cave to check, at that time Ma Xiu was still a centurion under Zou Jing like Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and the person who was sent was the person who Ma Xiu later took over - Zou Jing's deputy, Hao Meng, the general of the cavalry. And the result of the check is that Comrade Hao Meng, who went in with two centurions and didn't come out again, is estimated to come out today, maybe it's because the son of the White Emperor fell in love with General Hao Meng and stayed as a playmate.
Later, Liu Taishou didn't dare to send someone in to investigate, but he was not too relieved of this rumor, so he was recommended by Zou Jing, and Ma Xiu took over the position of General Hao Meng and led his troops to garrison the foot of the mountain. Yi'an guards Liu Yan's heart too much.
Of course, Matthew has only turned this place into a forbidden area since he came, and ordinary soldiers cannot go out of the forbidden area for half a step without a military order. So here, except for some merchants who come to supply the barracks by the hour, there are some widows who come to sweep and cook all day long.
But except for a few specific places where these people can run around, other places are also not allowed to go, so in general, this place is very quiet on weekdays.
But on this day, since Ma Xiu came back from the siege of Qingzhou, he hasn't breathed much of a sigh of relief. And the whining trumpet sounded again.
The barracks followed with a burst of neighing of horses, and the commanders of the various battalions shouting to each other about their subordinates. So under the amazed eyes of many widows and beautiful women on the periphery, the Yamen general was called the centurion, the centurion was called the captain, the captain was called the chief, the chief was called the soldier, and the soldier led the horse and the armor to take the weapon.
In a moment, the more than 500 cavalry troops in the south campus of Kung Fu City were assembled.
This group of cavalry is also veterans who have been baptized by the Battle of Qingzhou, although the battle has just passed, and they have not had time to rest. But at this moment, they are all full of energy, and everyone is silently packing up the weapons and armor on their bodies, calming the restless good horses under their crotch.
Ma Xiu came out of the big tent of the Chinese army and watched the five hundred cavalry lined up in five rows, each with a neat crown and a radiant look, and the helmet cherry blossoms swishing in the wind, although no one could create any atmosphere, but at this time the camp was already full of murderous atmosphere.
Matthew nodded with satisfaction, only soldiers who have seen blood and killed people can be counted as soldiers, and soldiers who have never killed people and seen blood are usually well trained, it is just a group of well-trained strong men.
The reins handed over by Guan Yu in his hand, turned over and got on the horse, and Ma Xiu kicked the horse's belly and ran out of the door.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at the head-swallowing chain armor hidden by the goose-yellow cloak behind Ma Xiu, and from time to time spilled dazzling light. I only felt that there were many changes between Matthew at this time and last night, and even from the previous Matthew, as for the change, where was the change-the two generals shook their heads at each other, they couldn't understand, and they didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, they just feel that if they follow Matthew, they will definitely be able to get ahead and leave a name in history:
Let's go!
Follow me!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei waved the weapons in their hands and rushed out of the barracks with five hundred cavalry.
What they didn't know was that from the moment they ran out of the barracks, the history of the Han Dynasty was changed because of them. Ma Xiu is not the tooth keeper who is called around and killed, and he will kill no heel if he wants to, and they will also become the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion and the Marquis of Hanxi Township who will shake the past and the present, inherit thousands of generations, and leave a name for generations!
Ma Huo led the crowd to pursue all the way along the traces left by Liu Bei and Zou Jing's escape. But one is running with his life, and the other is chasing with all his heart. If you can catch up, then it's a bad thing.
Until he chased out more than 300 miles in one go, he saw that he was out of the boundary of Youzhou. Ma Xiu received a report from Tanmalai that the body of the eldest son, Liu Fan, was found ten miles ahead, which had been killed by random arrows.
Ma Xiu and Guan Zhang hurried over, and when they saw Liu Fan, his face was bruised, his body was already cold, and his blood had coagulated and blackened, and he had obviously been dead for a long time:
The eldest son, a humble man. He was quite kind to his subordinates, but he didn't expect Liu Bei and Zou Jing to be so ruthless.
Guan Yu looked like a hedgehog all over his body, and Liu Fan was very embarrassed.
Hmph~ What can't be done, that Liu Da'er ignored Liu Yan'er's kindness and ran away with Zou Jing, which is an ungrateful villain. When I saw him the day before yesterday, a businessman faced, his lips were full of treachery, and his eyes were always dripping and turning, if it weren't for the fact that he was doing things in the same state city, I would have stabbed him to death with a spear that day, and the province would have harmed the good.
Ma Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhang Fei's muttering, in fact, Liu Bei is still very upright, otherwise there would not be many people everywhere who think he is loyal and honest, but Zhang Fei has a preconceived idea, and from the beginning, he thought that he was Liu Yan who was looking for power with Ma Xiu, so he would have such a big prejudice.
However, Ma Xiu was also happy that they hated Liu Bei, after all, Ma Xiu still had a little bit of caution, but it didn't matter, let him go with the flow.
Now it seems that Liu Xuande can't catch up, and even the eldest son died here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when I go back.
After such a long period of lifting, Guan Yu also knew the nature of Zhang Fei's big strip, so he turned to ask Ma Xiu.
Ma Xiu frowned, things are a little troublesome. Now he needs to come up with some positive news to stabilize the hearts of these squires and Shihao in the upper echelons of Youzhou.
Otherwise, after this ****, I am afraid that everyone will be in danger, and each recruit and buy horses to defend themselves, which is very unfavorable to the still developing Ma Xiu at that time.
Confess what, confess.
Without Ma Xiu replying, Zhang Fei seemed to have been ignited by Guan Yu again, and Gao Shen shouted:
As far as Liu Yan'er and Jixian are concerned, how dare they. That Liu Yan Xiaoer, who had no ambitions, only knew that he was franchised everywhere and surrounded by everywhere, making the city defense extremely empty. Nowadays, the soldiers and horses in the entire Youzhou, our south campus accounts for half. Last night, Zou Jing's husband took away 2,000.
When we go back, we ask them for money and food, and they dare not give it!!
Ha ha... Hearing Zhang Fei say this, Ma Xiu suddenly laughed, yes, big fists are the last word. If it weren't for the fact that there were 5,000 soldiers under his command who dared to kill, how could Fei Shi make peace in such a low voice.
Yide is right, let's go back to camp...
Be!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 500 cavalry returned the same way, and when the three of them led the crowd back to Pingcui Mountain, they suddenly saw a group of merchants in the distance driving dozens of horses towards it.
Youzhou is located in the handover of Hu and Han, and you can often see some foot merchants here, looking to return goods. It is as small as tea bricks, silk weaving medicinal materials, and as large as cattle, horses, mules and sheep. Everywhere.
These days, Mahew was planning to expand the cavalry, and horses were indispensable. So the celebrity drove the herd over. After discussing a few words, Matthew waved his hand and bought them all, and if there was anything in the future, he would send them to Lao Tzu.
What!?
Payment!!
Don't worry, Lao Tzu will give you an IOU, and you take it to the Taishou Mansion to find Mrs. Taishou. She'll give it to you.
Under Ma Xiu's half-threatening and half-assured words, Hu Shang walked towards Jixian County full of grievances.
Yu Yu~
A deafening hiss with a dragon's groan rang out in everyone's ears.
Ma Xiu and Guan Zhang's second generals, their eyes suddenly lit up, the three of them are all generals who are used to riding horses, and when they hear this voice, they know that this is definitely a good horse.
Bah~ That Hu Shang, why don't you send a good horse to your grandfather Zhang, why don't I give money.
The Hu Shang was frightened by Zhang Fei's angry eyes, and when he saw Zhang Fei holding a snake spear in his hand and trying to stab, he cried out in fright.
While crying, he rushed over and hugged Zhang Fei's calf, speaking in Chinese full of Hu:
The military master, it's not that the little one refuses to sacrifice the horse, it's really the little one who doesn't have the courage to return the military master!
Hu Shang said, pointing to a very handsome white foal behind him and said:
Don't look good at it, but it's a stallion, it's... It... It's also easy to split legs.....
