"Fengxiao, if your words come out, with that person's temperament, be careful that you will be killed." The handsome man who was hugging left and right and talking was named Xi Zhicai. Erudite and talented since childhood, he has extraordinary knowledge, but because he was born in a poor family, he was not allowed to be reused by the court, and then abandoned the official position.

The man who played the piano and drank, named Guo Jia, was even more intelligent, with excellent strategy, and was famous in the township since he was a child, but after he reached the year of the weak crown, he chose to live in seclusion, and gradually became unknown. And not long ago, his senior brother Xi Zhi found him, and the two came to Luoyang together. Both of them are rare geniuses in the world, and they soon became famous in Luoyang, and later Yuan Shao took a fancy to Guo Jia and tried his best to invite each other. Guo Jia saw that Yuan Shao was extraordinary, and he was from the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, so he agreed to Yuan Shao and join the government under his command. Who knows, Guo Jia soon discovered that Yuan Shaokong has great ambitions, but no real talent, and he is rigid and self-serving, which is definitely not the choice of Mingjun. And Yuan Shao also felt that Guo Jia was arrogant and arrogant, and his style was uninhibited and debauched, so he didn't reuse Guo Jia.

"Hahahaha~~!! No scheming, not enough to mention! It's a pity that I, Guo Fengxiao, am full of economy and have the opportunity of Tianyu in my mind, but I met such a master!! Repentance~! Regret~~!! Guo Jia had no scruples and laughed wildly. Xi Zhicai frowned, shook his head and sighed.

After a dead silence, the door opened, and suddenly several figures entered. The first person is Cao Cao, who is smiling.

"Haha, two brothers, Meng De came uninvited, he won't blame me, right? Come on, eat and drink!! Cao Cao seemed familiar, and as soon as his voice fell, the Xiahou brothers each came over with two jars of open wine. The aroma of wine was fragrant, Guo Jia's spirit was shocked, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Isn't this the wine in the Drunken Immortal Pool?" ”

"It took me a lot of effort to get it for my two brothers. I'm going to get drunk tonight! Come on, take a seat~! Cao Cao said, clapped his hands, and soon walked outside some women who were only slightly inferior compared to the two stunning women, and quickly added four seats.

Xi Zhicai's face froze, and he cast a look at each of the two stunning women. The two stunning women understood and reluctantly left. It is said that these two girls have long been obsessed with drama Zhicai, and he is not afraid that they will talk nonsense. Moreover, although Xi Zhicai was born in a poor family, he is also romantic, with an incomparably handsome face and a three-inch tongue, it can be said that he is in various romantic places. And Xi Zhicai, who was born in a poor family, was already poor, but many times it was those women who were obsessed with him who paid for his wine. Xi Zhicai is also informal, and he doesn't care. Because of this, people in Luoyang secretly ridiculed him as a 'drama'.

As for Guo Jia, he was also named 'Guo Langzi' because of his prodigal son-like style.

Of course, there are many people who appreciate their talents and rush to pay for them. Cao Cao is one of them.

It turned out that Cao Cao was extremely appreciative of both the drama and Guo Langzi, but it was a pity that Guo Langzi first voted under Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao was quite pleased that the drama seemed to be intended to be under his command. Because of this, Cao Cao spent almost all his savings on the wine money of this drunken immortal building these days.

However, for Cao Cao, his daughter is scattered and returns, but talents are hard to find.

On the other side, it is said that Cheng Gongying returned to the Basket Road and saw Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng heard that his father had revised the book to the general He Jin, and recommended him to the current saint as the Taishou of Nan'an, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and waited for the news.

Later, Cheng Gongying gave Ma Zongheng a letter home, and it was Ma Zongheng's wife who wrote the letter, Wang Yi. In the letter, Wang Yi first congratulated Ma Zongheng on winning the Zhengdao, reminding him that he must first stabilize the people's hearts and not worry about the situation in Jicheng. He also said that she would stay in Jicheng to take good care of his father and younger siblings, so that Ma Zongheng didn't have to worry about it. At the same time, he secretly mentioned that many soldiers under Ma Teng's command now have a lot of words for him, although he misses him very much, but if he even moves to the past, presumably the resentment of the soldiers will be out of control.

After Ma Zongheng read the letter, his gratitude to Wang Yi was by no means describable in words. It turned out that when he asked Cheng Gongying to go back earlier, he also brought a letter, in which Ma Zongheng proposed to let Wang Yi live with him in Zhengdao. But now it seems that Wang Yi understands the overall situation, and he can really be described as his virtuous helper.

In order to live up to Wang Yi's expectations, Ma Zongheng worked hard, diligent in handling political affairs every day, patrolling around the city and listening to public opinions. In addition, he did not neglect the drills of the soldiers, and often went to the school to watch the training of the armies.

It is said that not long ago, Ma Zongheng transferred 3,000 soldiers from Huangsha City, and with the original deployment in the city, the number of troops has reached as many as 10,000. It's just that there are only 3,000 of them, which are elite troops, and the rest are just recruited. In order to make these soldiers qualified soldiers, Ma Zongheng did not shy away from distributing the military power to the soldiers under his command. Among them, Hu Che'er, Pang De, and Jiang Jian were all lieutenants in the army, and Zhang Heng, Chen Jie and other generals were also moved to Qudu.

In addition, Hu Che'er and Jiang Jian were responsible for training the infantry, Pang De was responsible for training the cavalry, and Ma Zongheng was responsible for teaching the soldiers and horses of various departments to practice formations. The generals are diligent in training, and the higher his reputation in the army, because he is a horse, everyone sees that he is busy running around in the army and government affairs every day, and everyone admires him to the extreme, how dare he not actively train.

Unconsciously, half a moon passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already the winter solstice. Ma Zongheng has been in this late Eastern Han Dynasty for almost two years. In the past two years, he has gone through the battlefield and killed countless enemies, and he is no longer the fledgling stunned young man he was back then. And he has gradually established his own faction of power, assisted by two think tanks of Cheng Gongying and Pang Rou, and there are more warrior generals such as Hu Che'er, Pang De, and Jiang Jian under his command. The most gratifying thing for him is that he has two beautiful wives, although one of them is not with him now.

However, in this half month, Ma Zongheng learned that there were two waves of bandits not far from the outside of the road, occupying the mountains and setting up villages, harassing the people all day long, and it was even more outrageous that these bandits were cruel, once the people were robbed, most of the men were killed, both old and young, and the women were either killed after rape or robbed to the cottage. Ma Zongheng was furious when he learned about it, and ordered Pang De and Jiang Yin to go to the crusade.

After Pang De and Jiang Jian received the order, they led the recruits to set off on the same day, and in only three days, they smashed the cottages of two waves of bandits, beheaded more than 1,000 people, and saved more than 100 innocent people. When the people on the border of Zhengdao learned about it, they went to see each other off, and when they heard that it was Xiao Fubo's army, they all praised it. Later, Pang De and Jiang Jian returned to Zhengdao, and Ma Zongheng learned of the great joy and personally greeted each other, set up a banquet, and rewarded the army.

That night, during the feast, everyone was drinking happily, and suddenly a meteor Ma Xingye came to report. Ma Zongheng heard that it was his father who sent a quick message, thinking it was good news, so he was busy opening it to see. How do you know that Ma Zongheng looked at a few lines of words, and his face changed greatly. Cheng Gongying saw that Ma Zongheng had a rare gaffe, and his heart tightened, so he asked for a look. Ma Zongheng's face was dark, and he handed the letter to him.

After Cheng Gongying finished reading it, his expression also changed, and he suddenly knelt down and said, "Ying is not thoughtful, and I ask the lord to punish him." ”

Everyone was startled when they saw Ma Zongheng and Cheng Gongying looking like this, and when they saw Cheng Gongying suddenly kneeling, they suddenly changed color. Ma Zongheng took a deep breath and slowly stood up, his eyes shimmering, but he smiled: "Saiong knows if he loses his horse." It's not your fault. Luoyang Imperial Capital, but I have long wanted to go to see and see! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Pang De glared, got up and hurriedly asked, "Lord, what is going on?" Good decent, why are you going to Luoyang!? ”

"Yes!! Soon after the Badge Road was leveled, the people loved the lord, although Luoyang was good, but it was secretly murderous, and the two factions of relatives and eunuchs fought endlessly. But in case, you will end up in a ruined situation and never recover!! Hu Che'er also stood up hurriedly and said in a panic.

At this time, Cheng Gongying had been helped up by the horse that had come down, only to see him sigh, shake his head and say, "Eh, this time I was smart but I was mistaken by being smart." Dong Jackal has always been unclear, in order to fight for the position of Nan'an Taishou for the lord, I went to Jicheng to persuade Ma Gong, repair the book and report to the general He Jin, hoping for his help. How do you know that He Jin actually doubted the loyalty of the Ma family, and put forward a request for the lord to go to Luoyang to take office, which sounded good on the surface, but in fact he wanted to take the lord as a hostage. Now Ma Cheng is in a dilemma, and he has to go back to the lord to discuss. ”

"That's the case, before the imperial edict is issued, persuade Ma Gong to refuse!?" When Hu Che'er heard this, he said busily. Jiang Jian frowned, and immediately retorted: "No! But if Ma Gong refuses, maybe He Jin will make a big fuss because of this, and if the Ma family is condemned as a thief again, I am afraid that Fubo's prestige will be lost, and there will never be a day to turn over! ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, isn't the lord determined to go to Luoyang and be He Jin's hostage!?" Hu Che'er was impatient when he heard this, and his heart was about to be in a mess.

Ma Zongheng's face sank, and he squinted: "Don't mess with yourself." As far as I can see, the forces of the two factions of relatives and eunuchs are already incompatible, and a big war is imminent, and Luoyang will be chaotic at that time. I can get out of it. Besides, I went to Luoyang on this trip, and I happened to get acquainted with the world's heroes, I don't believe that a mere Luoyang city can trap my horses!! ”

In the end, Ma Zongheng's body erupted with an incomparable momentum, which was really heroic. Everyone was shocked, and they were even more respected!

"Good!! Lord, I, Pound, will also go with you!! ”

"Hehe, if you want to break into Luoyang, the imperial capital, how can you be as small as my old Hu!!"

At this time, Pang De and Hu Che'er's eyes burst into essence, looking at their situation, unless Ma Zongheng changed his mind, even if he put the knife on their necks, he would not want to stop them from going to Luoyang!

Jiang Jian opened his mouth, but in the end he still suppressed the impulse in his heart. After all, although the recruits in the various departments of the army have gradually become mature, no matter what, at least someone must remain in the town guard. And in terms of force, Jiang Jian asked himself if he was not as good as Pang De and Hu Che'er, if he was clever and alert, he would not be of much use if he had a horse, but if this was the case, why not stay and give full play to his specialties to train sergeants.

"Fengming, the army will be handed over to you." Ma Zongheng turned his head and smiled at Jiang Yin. Jiang Yan's face was shocked, and he hurriedly got up and bowed his hand: "Don't worry about it, lord!" Feng Mingding will live up to the high expectations of the lord! ”

"Good!" Ma Zongheng smiled and bowed his head a little, then turned to Cheng Gongying, and was about to speak. Cheng Gongying sighed again, his eyes lit up, and said, "Just leave it to me." The city is in the people, the city is dead, and the people are dead!! ”

Cheng Gongying hoped that he could go to Luoyang with Ma Zongheng, but he knew that someone must stay here to guard the Dao, and now the situation of the Dao Dao is not much better than that of Luoyang. Han Sui has been eyeing him, and Dong Zhuo probably won't give up. It can be said that now under Ma Zongheng's command, except for him, no one is qualified for this position.

"Then it's hard to fly you." The two exchanged glances, and Ma Zongheng gently patted Cheng Gongying's shoulder, and the trust between the two was already unbreakable.

So, everyone was very drunk that night, and they were willing to rest.
