"The wind is gentle, the clouds are faint, and the thin-waisted butterflies circle the city." Ma Hong picked up the wine jug and raised his head to pour a few sips of wine, then closed the lid and threw it to Pang Tong, and said with a smile: "Ugly donkey, take the wine and chant poetry." ”

Ma Hong and the three of them were idle and bored on the way to Wancheng, so they drank and recited poetry on the horse, and had a lot of fun.

Pang Tong took the wine jug, took two sips of wine, touched his nose, raised his head and said: "The sun is hot, the road is long, and a pot of wine is not enough to swallow." ”

After Pang Tong finished reading the words, he handed the wine jug to Zhuge Liang, who was going hand in hand with him, Zhuge Liang turned the wine jug, raised his head and was about to drink, but the horse under his crotch suddenly let out a fart, his hand shook, and the wine spilled into his eyes. Zhuge Liang sighed, handed the wine jug to Pang Tong, and quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, the breeze blew, and he read leisurely: "The ground is uneven, the sky has no eyes, and thousands of miles of white bones are covered by soil." ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang's poem, Pang Tong suddenly couldn't take it, because what Zhuge Liang said was really sad. Pang Tong didn't drink, silently screwed the lid of the wine jug and handed it to Ma Hong, Ma Hong took the wine jug, leaned back and lay flat on the horse's back, and looked up to the sky and said: "The phoenix is singing, the dragon is roaring, and the rivers and mountains are rejuvenated." (Liao here)

Ma Hong chanted the poem, raised his hand and unscrewed the wine jug, and poured the wine into his mouth. Zhuge Liang looked up at the sun, and the sunlight shone into his eyes, dripping with tears, but they were quickly evaporated.

"Good poetry, good poetry! The sorrow of Zhuge is the sorrow of the world, the thought of Ma Hong is the thought of the world, the boy was born in the world, he must have something to do, if there is no eye in this day, we will let him open his eyes, if the land is uneven, we will chisel it flat. ”

Pang Tong raised his head and spoke impassionedly, the sun shone on his face, and at this moment he didn't seem to be so ugly.

Zhuge Liang smiled, he took out the bamboo pole hanging on his waist, pointed to the sky and said loudly: "I, Zhuge Liang......"

"Hey, hey, it's not very elegant to hold a bamboo pole to the sky, come and pull out the sword." Ma Hong pulled his horse to Zhuge Liang and handed the Han sword to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang inserted the bamboo pole back into his waist, pulled out the Han sword, faced the sky, and then said loudly: "I, Zhuge Liang......"

"Senior brother, why don't you continue."

Pang Tong asked with some puzzlement.

"I forgot what I was going to say." Zhuge Liang said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, let's go ahead and organize the language." Ma Hong said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang snorted and said loudly to the sky: "I, Zhuge Liang, was born as an eight-foot man, and I will definitely do something in this troubled world." ”

Ma Hong covered his head and said secretly in his heart: Senior Brother Zhuge , how can your words be somewhat similar to what Tai Shici said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! But no one is excited. ”

Pang Tong stretched out his hand and brushed the horse's hair, and said secretly in his heart: Senior Brother Zhuge , you can't get along with us sincerely, you report to the sky that you are eight feet, I wanted to say that the seven-foot man, this is good.

"Senior Brother Pang, it's your turn."

Zhuge Liang handed the sword to Pang Tong, Pang Tong took the sword, looked at it carefully, said a good sword in his mouth, and then turned over and dismounted, ready to perform a ceremony on the ground, but the moment he turned over and dismounted, he stepped on a round stone and fell to the ground with a thud, but fortunately, he didn't scratch himself with the out-of-body sword.

Pang Tong stuck his sword on the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and then raised his sword to the sky, and said loudly: "I, Pang Tong, was born in troubled times, I am not afraid of falling, I am not afraid of suffering, I will vomit in the world full of talent, achieve fame, and be famous through the ages." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: Although what Senior Brother Pang said was a bit shameless, it was his heart, and I was not.

Ma Hong took the sword, raised the sword and pointed it to the sky, and said loudly: "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements." I, Ma Hong, will definitely carve out a sunny day for myself with the sword in my hand. ”

Ma Hong didn't have time to organize the language, because when he listened to Zhuge Liang's oath to the sky, his mind kept ringing the words that Tai Shici said before his death in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The three of them spoke proudly to the sky, and after saying that, they all looked at each other and continued to ride their horses forward. Ma Hong did not ride a horse in front this time, but followed behind Zhuge Liang, he looked at the backs of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Pang Tong was three years older than him, and Zhuge Liang was two years older than him. Yes, according to the age at which you came into this world, it is. It's just that he lived in that world for twenty-four years, and at the age of twenty-four, he was in his youth, but he had to die. In that world, when he was fourteen years old, he also had dreams, and when he was twenty-four, he still had dreams, but when he was twenty-four years old, he didn't even have dreams, because he had to die.

His eyes suddenly soured a little, and Ma Hong thought of those things, those things that seemed to be far away. He clung to the reins, gritted his teeth, squinted at the sky, and said in his heart: Now that I have come back to life, then I will not die so easily. In this world, if you want me to die, I will leave you with no place to bury.

Nanyang County, Luyang. (Now Lushan County, Pingdingshan City)

Cao Ying, Ma Guy, a middle-aged man wearing light armor and a long beard is holding forage to feed his war horse, the middle-aged man has a short figure, a square face and bright eyes, and looks at his war horse with a smile. Next to the middle-aged man stood a young man, who was about twenty years old, with a white face and beard, a pair of bright and clear eyes, quite similar to the middle-aged man, but his figure was half a head taller than the middle-aged man.

"Father, the boy will help you feed the horses!" The young man said.

The middle-aged man with a long beard smiled and said to his son, "Ang'er, the sword can be wiped by others, and the horse still has to be fed by himself." ”

This middle-aged man is Cao Cao, the male lord of the Central Plains, and the young man is Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang. Cao Ang asked puzzledly, "Father, why is this?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Cultivate a good relationship with your horse, because you don't know when you will encounter danger, and the horse, as your best partner, will save your life at a critical time." ”

Cao Ang nodded and said, "Father, the child knows." ”

Cao Cao looked at his son and asked, "Ang'er, father still has questions on your face, what else do you want to ask?" ”

Cao Ang saw that his father had already asked him, so he said: "Father, the child still has something to say, why the march is so slow, and he still stops and goes. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Ang'er, do you know what we are doing on this trip? ”

Cao Ang replied: "Of course I know, isn't Zhang Xiu going to surrender to his father?" We're going to gather his soldiers. But why did my father march so slowly, without any hurry? ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? I'm more anxious than anyone else, but the hot water still has to be cooled before it can be eaten. If I receive the news of Zhang Xiu's surrender, I can't wait to take my troops to Wancheng, will Zhang Xiu have other thoughts at that time, will he think that Cao Cao is in such a hurry to come, anxious to absorb my people, will there be other actions? ”

Cao Ang said: "Father went late, aren't you afraid that the embroidery will regret it?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "It's okay, there is a smart person next to Zhang Xiu, and a smart person will make Zhang Xiu smart, and it will also make Zhang Xiu stupid." ”

Cao Ang nodded, he already knew who the smart man Cao Cao was talking about, it was Jia Xu, the strategist who caused trouble in the world, it seemed that his father and Jia Xu must have discussed it. Cao Ang thought for a while, opened his mouth, closed it, and then opened his mouth again and asked, "Father, the child has another question." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "You want to ask me, after Zhang Xiu surrenders, what do we do with him, right?" ”

Cao Ang nodded.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It depends on whether Zhang Xiu is a wolf or a dog." If it's a wolf, I'll imprison him, and if it's a dog, I'll let him do his job. ”

Cao Ang asked again: "Then does my father think Zhang Xiu is a dog or a wolf?" ”

After Cao Cao fed the forage in his hand, he touched the neck of the Shadow Horse, and said with a smile: "There are more wolves in Xiliang, and there are not many dogs, but I think Zhang Xiu looks quite like a dog." ”

Cao Ang sighed and asked in a low voice, "Then father, what do you think Yu Ban and Xu Huang are?" ”

Cao Cao snorted and laughed, Yu Ban was borrowed by him from others, and then he followed him, Xu Huang was only accepted at the beginning of the year. Cao Cao also lowered his voice and said, "Ang'er! Of course, my father thought of them as dogs, but ah! Ang'er, when you praise the generals, you have to praise them well, say that they are good generals in the world, say that they have the blood of wolves, and pick up some nice ones to coax them. But in your heart, you have to treat them like dogs, because wolves can't be taken, you know? ”

Cao Ang nodded and said, "Thank you for your father's teachings, the child understands." ”

Cao Cao raised his hand and patted Cao Ang's shoulder and said: "Yu Ban is a reliable general, you can learn more from him about the ability to govern the army, and also cultivate more feelings with him, you can also praise him more." ”

Cao Ang nodded yes. The Shadow Horse flicked his tail and lowered his head as he continued to eat the hay in the manger.
