Chapter 390: Entering Mount Tai
"Wang Lang, you are going to bring about your own destruction!!" Wang Yu, who was powerless, saw that he was also loyal, so he hurriedly slapped his horse out and shouted loudly.
"The Han family is dying, my generation of Han Chen loyalists, what's the use of surviving!? Ma Zongheng is behind you, as a general, but wantonly looting land and dominating one side, what are your intentions!? But I saw a man who was quite majestic, stern, tall, and wearing a yellow carp brocade robe, surrounded by a group of soldiers, stepped out, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was fierce.
"Wang Lang has bad intentions! Lord, don't talk nonsense with him, I'll wait here to fight to the death, you quickly go back and lead the troops to fight, and wait for me to take revenge!! When Hu Che'er heard this, Pegasus hurried out and shouted, his eyes were like flames, and his face was full of death.
After listening to Wang Lang's words, he said lightly: "If Yanzhou is not my peace, I am afraid that there are thousands of innocent sacrifices now, and the war is continuous, and it will be difficult to stop for several years." The princes of the world have great ambitions, and sooner or later they will also enter Yanzhou, and there will be thousands of evils to be killed at that time. You and I are not only the ministers of the Han family, but also the parents of the people, and now the court is in the middle of the thief court, seeing that the people are in the hot water, King Mo wants me to only care about one side!? β
The tall man who was supported by the generals and had a majestic demeanor was none other than Taishan Taishou - Wang Lang is also.
When Wang Lang heard this, his stern expression couldn't help but change a little, and then he asked: "But if one day, you become a general trend, are you ruling the country in chaos, or are you taking advantage of the country's difficulties?" β
Ma Zongheng's face sank, and after a long silence, he slowly replied: "I can't ask you this question." However, Ma has always believed that water can carry boats and overturn boats, and the so-called country is not the court is the world, and where there are people, it is the foundation of the world. Ma is willing to go to the people's heart! β
As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Wang Lang and Wang Yu, two highly talented civil officials, both changed their faces and were quite understanding. Wang Lang muttered the sentence that water can carry a boat and overturn a boat repeatedly, and after a while, he sighed: "The court is the center of the country, but Wang can't help but admit that the people are the foundation of the world." Since General Ma came to Yanzhou, he first ruled Changyuan and took in displaced people from all over the country, so that countless people were saved from famine. In the past, Liu Dai was unrighteous and brutalized Qiaogong, which caused chaos in Yanzhou and wars. However, it was also General Ma who actively quelled the rebellion, and then Dingdong County, after repeated battles, took the three counties of Jiyin, Rencheng and Shanyang, and eradicated Liu Dai, so that the chaos in Yanzhou could be pacified, and countless innocent sacrifices were spared, which can be described as immeasurable merit. Therefore, the people of Yanzhou all support it, and now in Yanzhou, but hearing the name of General Ma, except for a few families with interests, who does not praise General Ma! β
Everyone listened to Wang Lang list Ma Zongheng's exploits one by one, and they couldn't help but show admiration. Ma Zongheng didn't know what kind of medicine Wang Lang was selling in the gourd, or deliberately made him relax and attack again, although he was secretly on guard, but he still looked calm and calm on the surface, and said with a smile: "Being so praised by Wang Taishou really flattered Ma." β
"However, General Ma wants to use the people as an excuse to try for a great cause, which is a bit despicable!" At this time, Wang Lang's face suddenly changed, his eyes were focused and majestic, as if he wanted to see through Ma Zongheng's thoughts, and said coldly.
"Wang Jingxing, don't be too aggressive, my lord has repeatedly conceded, but you have repeatedly offended, don't you really think that I can't wait to kill you!?" Hu Che'er was furious when he heard this, and he couldn't hold back anymore and scolded.
Wang Lang ignored it, and stared at Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng smiled again, and said unhurriedly: "Wang Taishou puts loyalty and righteousness first in everything, but why don't you look at the situation today, those who preach loyalty and righteousness in their mouths have already died under the butcher's knife of the traitorous people one by one." It is all because of those people, some of them hold power, some have soldiers and generals, and some dominate one side.
Ma believes that in this turbulent world, whether you are loyal to the country or want to take advantage of the situation to establish a foundation, at least you must have this capital and strength.
When one day, when you are in the general trend, whether you want to sweep the world, support the community, make meritorious contributions, or establish a new government, isn't it all like a bag!?
Otherwise, you have no power and no power, and it is just a joke to feel sorry for yourself for the country alone. Because not only will you not be able to save this country, but you will only bring disaster to yourself and those who follow you! But listening to Ma Zongheng's fierce words, fast words, sonorous words, and sound on the ground, after this speech, Wang Lang, who is known as resourceful and reasonable, was speechless.
Ma Zongheng's words are extremely rough compared to those reasonable sayings of the great sages and sages, but the naked reality in the words can't help but make people break out in a cold sweat.
I saw Wang Lang, who fell into silence, his face twitching from time to time, as if he was struggling. In fact, when he heard half of it, he wanted to scold Ma Zongheng for saying all the fallacies and heresies, but the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and in the end, even if he racked his brains, he still couldn't think of a word to refute it.
"Brother Wang, General Ma is right, in troubled times, with the current situation, if there is no sky-high force, how can you sweep the world and support the court? The so-called loyalty alone cannot save the country and the people! After Zang Ba groaned for a while, he sighed and said slowly to Wang Lang.
Just when Zang Ba's words fell, Wang Lang sighed lightly, and looked at his subordinates around him, but they were even more convinced by Ma Zongheng's words, and knew that he had to admit that Ma Zongheng's views were more suitable for today's troubled times!
In fact, Ma Zongheng's words, to put it more bluntly, are saying that in today's troubled times, the so-called loyalty is just, as long as you have the strength, you have the capital to talk about pacifying the world or plotting a great cause!
"Eh, it's in vain that I've read the books of sages for so many years, and the truth I learned is not as good as General Ma's words. Wang has woken up, and is willing to lead Taishan and his civil and military forces to the command of General Ma, so that he will be offended, and he hopes that General Ma will not mind. Wang Lang bowed deeply and said in court.
When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Wang Taishou is righteous, this time Yanzhou can be pacified, and Wang Taishou is indispensable!" β
In fact, don't look at Wang Lang so simply, he is willing to surrender to Ma Zongheng. In fact, he has already been tested several times in a row, if Ma Zongheng but one of them is not in line with Wang Lang's wishes, I am afraid that Wang Lang will not hand over Taishan County, which he has worked so hard to govern, into the hands of Ma Zongheng.
When he was young, Wang Lang invited Ma Zongheng to the tent, please sit in the main seat, Ma Zongheng did not refuse, boldly agreed, and after sitting down, the shilling Taishan YiqiΔ size position remained unchanged. Wang Lang and others thanked them happily and called them lords.
Ma Zongheng was overjoyed, and after getting to know them one by one, he was curious for a while, so he asked Wang Lang why he was willing to surrender.
Wang Lang did not hide it, saying that there were three tests. One is to test the sincerity of the horse. If Ma Zongheng has the heart to negotiate, so as not to fight, for the sake of the overall situation, he will be willing to go to Mount Tai to meet. Originally, Wang Lang thought that even if Ma Crissian relied on the courage of his ghosts and gods and was willing to come, he would at least bring thousands of elites and gather at the border, just in case. But Ma Zongheng only brought hundreds of riders, and according to the detailed report, he stopped all the way, playing with a leisurely attitude, which surprised Wang Lang At the same time, this first test can be regarded as passing.
The two are to test the courage of Ma Zongheng, and it is Zang Ba who has the courage of ten thousand invincibles to check the gate, and the result is that Ma Zongheng easily passed the test.
Although Ma Zongheng answered this point with the will of the people, which made Wang Lang a little unhappy, but his words made Wang Lang recognize the cruel situation that the Han family is currently in, and at the same time agreed with what Ma Zongheng said, now loyalty is useless, first build the general trend, and then choose the idea, it can be regarded as passing.
Ma Zongheng listened to Wang Lang's reason, and couldn't help but sigh at Wang Lang's steadiness, but Hu Che'er felt that Wang Lang was arrogant and disliked, and glared at Wang Lang a few times while he was talking. It also made Zang Ba dislike, and the two of them were secretly staring wide-eyed.
"I can't hide it, these three tests are not what I think, but an old man of the lord." Suddenly, Wang Lang's face became a little weird, and he said to Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng listened, as if he had a sense, stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "This person is Guo Fengxiao!?" β
When Wang Lang heard this, he shook his head and said: "Please also ask the lord to forgive the sin, this person has always refused to sue sΓΉ name, I think he has an extraordinary temperament, he stays at home, but he can know the affairs of the world, I wanted to worship as a guest, but he refused." It was not long ago when I asked him that he was your old friend. Moreover, he also said that if the lord could pass these three tests, he would be able to go to Fenggao City to find him. β
"It's Bongxiao, it must be this bastard boy!" Ma Zongheng secretly said in his heart, hearing that this person was acting dissolutely and recklessly, he was even more sure that this person was Guo Jia, and he was excited, and said: "Then without further ado, I will go to Fenggao City!" β
Wang Lang was so ecstatic when he saw Ma Zongheng, as if he wanted to have wings and fly to Fenggaocheng, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but when he thought of that person's power, he was also relieved, and at the same time secretly sighed that Ma Zongheng was thirsty for talent.
So, Wang Lang immediately led Ma Zongheng and the others to Fenggao. When they returned to Bonggo City, it was already night.
However, I saw that Fenggao City, which is the county seat of Taishan, is also prosperous and lively, and there is a constant flow of people shuttling through the streets of all sizes, and the shouts of various hawkers can be heard everywhere. In order not to attract attention, Ma Zongheng first ordered his soldiers to rest in the school field, only bringing Hu Che'er and Wang Yu, of course, and the bridge that is almost inseparable from him these days, but Wang Lang only went with Zang Ba and a few soldiers, and everyone dismounted and walked on foot.
Along the way, all the people who passed by greeted Wang Lang respectfully, which shows that Wang Lang is also quite prestigious in the eyes of the people. Ma Zongheng secretly looked at it in his eyes, and appreciated Wang Langzi even more.
After a while, Wang Lang led everyone to a luxurious building, with a pair of gold-lacquered pillars at the door, and the two big stone lions, which were enough to show the atmosphere. And in front of the door and upstairs, they are all standing with heavy makeup, all kinds of clothes, are as light as gauze, fiddling with all kinds of sultry postures, or tender, or coquettish shouting, or chattering and laughing to greet the guests who enter, the plaque on the door is written with three red characters 'Fengqi Building'!
"Oops~! Taishou-sama, you're finally here, and the girls here are all waiting for the autumn water. Fast forward, fast forward!! At this time, an old bustard, who was slightly obese and dressed in a big red flower coat, saw Wang Lang appear, like a hungry wolf who had been hungry for several days seeing meat, his face was about to smile, and he twisted his fat figure to greet him.
"Ahem, okay, don't be too public. I'm here for that guy. Wang Lang pretended to cough twice, his face was a little red, but he was a little embarrassed, if he hadn't heard that person had lived here for a long time, he would not have come to this kind of Fengyue place if he had a fair and honest temperament.
