"Uncle Ma, twenty years ago you were still a former Sui, did you know General Qin at that time?" Li Xiu reaffirmed with some disbelief that this incident was too unexpected for him, and it had never been mentioned in the official history. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing Li Xiu's shocked look, Ma Ye looked at Qin Qiong and smiled at this time, and then said: "Not many people know about the relationship between me and Shubao, not even the princess, for the sake of your boy's meal and this wine, it doesn't hurt to tell you!" ”

Although Ma Ye said that it was for the sake of wine and food, he didn't even tell the princess about this matter, but he told Li Xiu, which is enough to show that he looks at Li Xiu differently. When Qin Qiong next to him saw this, he smiled slightly, lowered his head and continued to taste the wine, in fact, he knew Ma Ye better than anyone else, in his opinion, Ma Ye almost regarded Li Xiu as his own nephew, otherwise he would not have told Li Xiu about the relationship between them.

"Boy, my relationship with Uncle Bao is a long story, and I will tell you slowly, but you have to remember one thing first, Uncle Bao is my brother who can change my life, seeing him is equivalent to seeing me, if there are any difficulties that cannot be solved in the future, and I happen to be absent, you can go to Shu Bao for help!"

Ma Ye didn't rush to explain the relationship between the two, but pointed to Qin Qiong and said to Li Xiu, as soon as his words fell, Qin Qiong smiled and raised a glass to him, so the two drank it all again, and then laughed.

After a long while, Ma Ye opened his mouth to explain the relationship between him and Qin Qiong, but Li Xiu was more and more surprised the more he listened, he never dreamed that Ma Ye and Qin Qiong would have such a relationship.

Qin Qiong is not like the Sui and Tang Dynasty Romance is a head-catcher, in fact, Qin Qiong was quite brave when he was young, so he joined the army to serve, and served under the account of the Great Sui Ming Future Protector, and don't look at his position is not high, but he is very valued by Lai Protector, when Qin Qiong's mother died, Lai Guardian even personally sent people to mourn, but other generals did not have such treatment.

Coincidentally, Ma Ye, who was a few years older than Qin Qiong, was also a general under the tent of Hu'er at that time, and he was also Qin Qiong's top boss, he also admired Qin Qiong's bravery, so he also took care of Qin Qiong, and even Qin Qiong's art of war and martial arts were also guided by Ma Ye, and the two can be said to be teachers and friends.

"Uncle Ma, you even served as a general under Laihu'er, but why did you never hear about it, and why did you become the princess's house slave later?" When Li Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

He still knows that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo three times, and Lai Hu'er held important positions, especially when he attacked Gogur for the third time, Lai Hu'er was the commander of the army, and he once advocated pacifying Goguryeo in one fell swoop despite the domestic rebellion, but Yang Guang refused.

"I'll talk about it later, do you want to listen to me and Uncle Bao?" Ma Ye said with a glaring at this time.

"Okay, you go on, I'll never interrupt you again!" Li Xiu hurriedly admitted his mistake, from a Great Sui general to a domestic slave of the Li family, the experience must have been more tortuous, but unfortunately Ma Ye was reluctant to say it, which made Li Xiu also a little regretful.

"Shubao and I are both generals under the account of General Laihu'er, when Yang Guangsan conquered Goguryeo, what is more unfortunate is that Shubao and I participated in it all at once!" When Ma Ye said this, he brought out a bitter smile almost at the same time as Qin Qiong, the three expeditions to Goguryeo not only brought a devastating blow to the Great Sui, but also the past they were most reluctant to mention in their lives.

"Three expeditions to Goguryeo, one expedition to pile up mountains of white bones, two expeditions to send grain and money, three expeditions to various places, the Great Sui National Foundation has been over since then!" As soon as Ma Ye's words fell, he only heard Qin Qiong hum a nursery rhyme that could often be heard in Chang'an City in a deep voice.

Li Xiu, the nursery rhyme in Qin Qiong's mouth, had also heard the children in Zhuangzi sing it and knew the meaning, such as a conquest of white bones piled up into a mountain, which means that when the first conquest of Goguryeo, the Sui army was defeated and returned, losing hundreds of thousands of troops; The second expedition to send grain and money refers to the second expedition when Yang Xuangan rebelled, Yang Guang had no choice but to withdraw his troops, leaving countless materials, grain and grass to Goguryeo; The three expeditions in various places were fired, which means that during the third expedition, the Great Sui was overwhelmed, and the beacons were everywhere, and there were rebellions everywhere, and Goguryeo was unable to fight again, so he asked the Great Sui for guilt, and Yang Guang withdrew so easily.

Although the three expeditions to Goguryeo have achieved some military effects, but for the Great Sui, it caused anger and resentment, the people were unhappy, the Great Sui was full of rebellions, and the treasury was also exhausted, it can be said that the foundation of the Great Sui has been hollowed out, and it is precisely because of this that just a few years later, Yang Guang took the foundation of the Great Sui to collapse, and he also ended up with a dead country and a ruined country.

"It's a bit unlucky, but Uncle Ma, both of you can survive such a cruel war, which shows that your strength and luck are top-notch!" Li Xiu opened his mouth to comfort at the moment, he was also telling the truth, it is said that when the first time he conquered Goguryeo, the hundreds of thousands of troops finally withdrew only a few thousand people, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong were able to survive, and the supreme strength and the luck against the sky must be the same, or both.

"Captain Li is right, my greatest luck is to meet Brother Ma, a brother, when I conquered Goguryeo, because of Yang Guang's indiscriminate command, resulting in the loss of fighters several times, General Lai Hu'er and greedy for merit, causing us to fall into the trap of the Goguryeo people, in the face of several times the enemy, I was almost seriously injured to death, it was Brother Ma who carried me out of a bloody way, and struggled in the wasteland of Liaodong for nearly ten days before finally escaping with his life!"

Qin Qiong suddenly said at this time, when it came to the end, he raised his glass to Ma Ye again, but the two of them drank it all again, and then laughed again, as if he was glad that he had escaped death.

After laughing, Ma Ye also said with some emotion at this time: "When I saved Shubao's life, in fact, I also saved my own life, when the second expedition to Goguryeo, Yang Guang was in a hurry to go back to quell the rebellion, and left countless food and materials to the Goguryeo people, and only dropped less than 10,000 people, it just so happened that Shubao and I were among them, at that time there were Goguryeo armies in all directions, I took my brothers to break through from the south, but I was outnumbered, and I saw that my brothers were about to be killed and wounded, this allowed me to seize the opportunity to lead people out of the encirclement, and our more than 200 people were the only ones in the army who escaped after the break. ”

When Ma Ye said the end, he also showed a sad expression on his face, as if he remembered those old brothers who died on the battlefield again, Qin Qiong also sighed when he saw this, and then looked at the far northeast with heavy eyes, among those good brothers back then, many of them were buried there, and the bones could not be transported back until now.

"Uncle Ma, when Yang Guang poured all his strength into attacking Goguryeo, and the first two times were defeated, is Goguryeo's strength really so strong?" Li Xiu suddenly asked curiously at this time, he didn't know much about this history, he only knew that the Sui Dynasty was greatly damaged because of this incident, and even indirectly led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

"Strong fart, if it weren't for Yang Guanghao's chaotic command, I'm afraid we would have destroyed them the first time, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo, we were almost all defeated in our own hands!" At this time, Ma Ye slammed the grass under him, looking at him, it seemed that he still hated Goguryeo.

"Brother Ma, don't underestimate any enemy, Goguryeo still has a certain strength, although it is not as good as the Turkic enemy, but it is not much different from the Tuyuhun in the south, at the beginning, Yang Guang wanted to drive the expedition in person, and personally destroyed Goguryeo to show his martial arts, although he was opposed by many people, but he insisted on going his own way, and recruited millions of troops, as well as several times the number of people in the army, which also made him very confident that he could destroy Goguryeo."

As soon as Qin Qiong said this, Ma Ye opened his mouth and added, "Actually, not only Yang Guang, but also the generals of the Sui army also think that under the pressure of a million army, they will destroy Goguryeo Yi and Backhand, so many people are very light on the enemy, including our boss General Lai Hu'er." ”

"Indeed, because of internal reasons, coupled with the desperate resistance of the Goguryeo people, the progress of the army was not smooth, and Yang Guang, who insisted on going his own way, meddled in the march of the armies everywhere, resulting in the loss of countless opportunities to destroy the Goguryeo people, and finally the armies from all walks of life converged in Liaodong City, the morale of the army has been lost, and the hard attack on January could not take Liaodong City, and then the water and land divisions were defeated, and there were Wang Bo, Dou Ziying, Dou Jiande and others in the country to make chaos, which led to the fiasco of the first expedition to Goguryeo." Qin Qiong's words are still quite pertinent, although he recognized the strength of Goguryeo, but the main reason was actually the contradictions within the Great Sui.

"After the three expeditions to Goguryeo, Shubao and I were dead set on the Great Sui, and later Shubao followed Pei Renji into Wagangzhai, I was disheartened and tried to leave the army, but I didn't expect to ......" Ma Ye said at the end, but he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and his face also showed a painful look.

"Uncle Ma, I know what happened to General Qin later, but how did you become the princess's house slave later, I heard the princess say that when she saw you, you were seriously injured and lying on the side of the road, what happened during this period?" Li Xiu asked curiously again at this time, he was really curious about this.

For Li Xiu's questioning, Ma Ye did not reprimand again, and his face also showed a tangled expression, after a while, as if he was about to speak, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a small boat on the river going upstream, and a person on the bow of the boat generously sang and said: The angry sea is raging, the water is cold, the wind and waves are about to break the sky, and the body is about to fight for 90,000 miles.
