Summary of the previous chapter: Cao Cao, according to the mention of Ma Xiaoquan's letter, drove a group of roads to explore the way, and sent Xu Chu Xiahoudun to climb the mountain at night, but Xiahoudun accidentally entered the camp of the Hanzhong defenders

++++++++++++++++++++ Xiahoudun's path-finding by mistake has achieved miraculous results. After getting the news, Cao Cao, as the coach, naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

That night, Cao Cao led a large army to storm Yangping Pass.

Zhang Wei was already frightened, how dare he resist, and pulled his new concubine to roll up the bed overnight and escaped.

As for the general Yang Ang, he died tragically and missteppingly.

In this way, Yangpingguan, the throat of Hanzhong, finally fell

The news of the fall of Yangping Pass soon reached Zhang Lu's ears. Zhang Lu was about to surrender and didn't care much about such an outcome, but his advisor Yan Pu said that we should put up another shelf, so that even if Cao Cao came, we could have a point of conversation

Zhang Lu also felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately abandoned Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong, sealed the money and grain of Nanzheng, fled to the mountains, and "fought" a guerrilla war with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stepped through Yangping Pass, all the way to the west smoothly to Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong, seeing that Zhang Lu had run away, and the money and grain were sealed, he immediately laughed and took out the letter written by Ma Xiaoquan to him from his arms, and said tremblingly: "What Lord Shangxian said is really right, it is really right."

Cao Cao said and handed the letter to Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun took the letter and looked at it, and he was also impressed, and said excitedly: "Lord, Lord Shangxian said it so clearly, why didn't you talk to us earlier?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "How many times have I taken it out and seen it, and you don't ask, I'm the master, do I still send it to you?" ”

Xiahoudun smiled: "Yes, yes, hehe, it's just the lord, is it okay for those Ba people in the letter of Lord Shangxian?" ”

Cao Cao pouted: "This demon road, all calculated for him, hum, what can you do or not, just do it according to what is written on this demon road letter, hum come to someone, write a letter to that demon road, just say that when I go back, I want to drink with him for a day and a night, haha"

Cao Cao's letter soon arrived at the Ma family's compound in Yecheng and was delivered to Ma Xiaoquan.

After reading Cao Cao's letter, Ma Xiaoquan's heart that had been hanging finally fell to the ground, it seems that this Lu Xian is not too troublesome.

In fact, it was not that Lu Xian did not make trouble, but that Zhang Lu did not listen to Lu Xian's construction. If Zhang Lu did what Lu Xian had written, Cao Cao might not have been so easy to conquer Hanzhong. Of course, with Cao Cao's military strength, it was only a matter of time before he conquered Hanzhong, and Ma Xiaoquan did this according to the course of history.

"Okay, reply to your father-in-law, just say that I am waiting for him to return triumphantly in Yecheng, and we will rest as soon as we get drunk."

"Whoa!"

After seeing Cao Cao's subordinates leave, Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and picked up the book in his hand, and said bitterly to Hua Yuexin beside him: "Yue'er's wife, the words and language of this Baiyi clan are too difficult, can you learn here today?" ”

Hua Yuexin snorted: "No, as the head of the Ma family, I can't even learn the language and writing of the Baiyi clan, what kind of system will I become?" Look at Qiang'er, the girl in Tsing Yi is much stronger than you, but I said it, let me supervise you."

Ma Xiaoquan turned his head to look at his son Ma Qiang, but saw that this kid was looking at him proudly, with a gloating face.

"Stinky boy, dare to laugh at me, come over to Lao Tzu?"

Ma Qiang won't listen to Ma Xiaoquan's words, the young man twisted his head, ran to Hua Yuexin, and said, "Yue'er Niang, my father is jealous of my fast learning and wants to beat me!" ”

"Huh?" Hua Yuexin's face sank and looked at Ma Xiaoquan.

"Huh? You stinky boy! You" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I'll learn, I'll learn, hey!" I've been studying this for months, so I think it's getting harder and harder the more I learn. ”

Complaining is complaining, and language and writing still have to be learned.

The language and writing of the Baiyi people are very peculiar, and the pronunciation of some phonetic transcriptions is something that Ma Xiaoquan has never heard. According to Ma Xiaoquan's understanding and Tsing Yi's explanation, the language pronunciation of the Baiyi people comes from the pronunciation of music theory, that is, "Gongshang Jiao Huiyu" and so on.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, there were not only five syllables in music theory, Ma Xiao counted them all, and there were as many as a dozen.

A few months later, Tsing Yi returned. Seeing Tsing Yi for the first time, Ma Xiaoquan greeted Tsing Yi in the Baiyi language.

Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, happily hugged Xianggong and kissed him fiercely, and said, "Why don't you let every child in the family learn the words and languages of our Baiyi clan?" ”

Considering the long-term development of the family in the future, Ma Xiaoquan happily adopted Tsing Yi's Jianyì.

At this time, it is December of the twentieth year of Jian'an, and the New Year will be celebrated in another month.

In mid-December, Cao Cao sent a letter to Ma Xiaoquan, saying that he had pacified Hanzhong and left Xiahou Yuan to hold on to Hanzhong.

Ma Xiaoquan immediately replied and told Cao Cao that although Hanzhong was pacified, he still needed to stay for more time to stabilize the people's hearts.

Cao Cao also had this intention, so he stayed in Hanzhong and spent a New Year with the soldiers and civilians in Hanzhong.

In February of the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216 AD), Cao Cao returned to Ye.

Back in Yecheng, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to go home, but first came to the Ma family's compound to meet Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan gave Cao Cao a lot of wine and food, Cao Cao was naturally very happy, and the two talked about the wine, and they talked about a lot of topics during the period, of course, they also talked about Lu Xian

After drinking a glass of Du Kang's fine wine, Cao Cao smashed it and said, "Lord Shangxian, do you remember what you said?" ”

"What?"

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "The most dangerous place is also the safest place!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Cao Cao explained: "If I were Lu Xian, I would have to escape the pursuit of Lord Shangxian, there are three ways to go, first, go to any of Sun Quan's territories, of course, Lord Shangxian just said, Sun Quan hates Lu Xian to the core, Lu Xian probably won't go, besides, Lu Xian is a northerner, and he must not be very accustomed to and like the southern climate The second Lu Xian went to Liu Bei's territory"

Cao Cao paused for a moment, and then vetoed: "It's impossible, why?" Because Liu Beiwen has Zhuge and Pang Tong, and Wu is about Zhang and other tiger generals, then Lu Xian wants to take the opportunity to get straw, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Ma Xiaoquan took a bite of the dish and asked while eating, "So, Xiao Cao, do you think that Lu Xian will definitely be within your territory?" ”

Cao Cao nodded: "That's right, and it's far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”

"What? You said Lu Xian is in Yecheng now? ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "I can't be sure, but I can feel that he is here!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Xiao Cao, having said that, are you a little arbitrary?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "I'll just say that, I still need to be decided by the Immortal Lord, well, if there is a place where I can be used, the Immortal Immortal can speak." ”

Ma Xiaoquan picked up his wine glass and touched it with Cao Cao: "Then thank Xiao Cao first, haha"

At night, after sending Cao Cao away, Ma Xiaoquan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Cao Cao's words during the day reminded Ma Xiaoquan of something, something that Yuan had reminded him of.

"Source, are you there?"

"Well, of course I'm here, could it be that I ran out?"

"Yuan, you said that you can sense your fragment, since Lu Xian has your fragment in his body, then you should be able to sense it, right?"

In the left eye, Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "Ma Xiaoquan, what Cao Cao said is not wrong, Lu Xian is indeed in Yecheng, and I can even sense his specific location." ”

"What? Then why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"Then you didn't ask me either?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly: "Okay, then you say, do you want to go to Lu Xian now and get back your piece of fragment?" ”

"No way!"

"Why?"

"Because it's not time yet."

"It's not time yet? When, I just need to catch Lu Xian now, kill him, and get that piece back. ”

"Idiot, you've got the solar recorder, don't you still have all the keys?"

Ma Xiaoquan patted his head, and then remembered that the solar recorder had two keys.

"This yuan is missing, and I don't know where the gold square coin is?"

"So I said the time wasn't up yet. Your immediate priority now is not to find my fragment, but another piece of gold, understand? ”

"Okay, so your fragments aren't in a hurry?"

"Well, don't worry about it for the time being, as long as I can sense it, if there is a problem, I will notify you as soon as possible."

"Oh, that Lushian's business"

"I don't think you should look for him yet, just don't know what to do."

Ma Xiaoquan was a little unwilling, but Yuan Du said so, there must be a reason for it.
