Chapter 137: Dishes on a plate
"Yikes! Yes, I want to carve a plum blossom on that girl's neck, hey, how about tattooing a rabbit on that bulging breast? Or is it better to be a mouse? ”
I don't know when Li Mo came to Ma Hong's side, playing with the carving knife between his fingers.
Ma Hong didn't answer Li Wu, but raised his foot and stepped on Li Wu's foot, stomped three times in a row, and glared at Li Wu.
Ma Chao killed a white horse, and then made a fire to roast horse meat to eat, and of course invited Ma Hong to taste it together. The four Ma brothers and sisters and Ma Hong Li gathered around the bonfire to eat horse meat. Ma Hong has eaten a lot of kebabs, but it is the first time to eat barbecue horse meat, eating hot horse meat and looking at Ma Chao's sister's face, Ma Hong feels that his stomach is even hotter. Ma Yunlu had no intention of eating meat, but when he saw Ma Hong glancing at his face from time to time, he also looked at Ma Hong.
"Come, I've got wine here, and I'm going to eat meat, and I'm not happy to drink wine." Ma Hong untied the wine jug on his waist and handed it to Ma Chao first.
Ma Chao took the wine jug, didn't think much about it, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth, licked his lips and said with a smile after drinking: "Good wine, little sister, you can taste it too." ”
Ma Yunlu took the wine jug, raised his neck very boldly, lifted the wine jug and poured wine into his mouth.
Ma Hong looked at her white and tender neck bulging and her straight chest shaking, Ma Hong couldn't help but say: "The girl is really a heroine among women." ”
"It's a good wine." Ma Yunlu drank three sips of wine in one go, and the wine flowed down his lips to his neck, and through his neck into his chest, and then raised his head and poured wine into his mouth, and drank a small half pot of wine in a row before handing the wine jug to Ma Xiu.
Ma Hong looked at Ma Yunlu with a shocked expression. Ma Yunlu's face was slightly red, he stretched out his hand to wipe the wine on his mouth, and smiled at Ma Hong, revealing his white teeth. Ma Hong looked at the red lips, swallowed and foamed involuntarily, and secretly said in his heart: Women in this era are too boring, but this bold girl is very different.
When the wine jug returned to Ma Hong's hand, Ma Hong raised his head to drink, and said secretly in his heart: This is also an indirect kiss, although your two brothers have drunk it during the period, but I don't care.
Ma Chao took a knife and cut a piece of horse meat and handed it to Ma Hong. Ma Hong still had horse meat in his hand and wanted to excuse himself, but Ma Chao said: "Brother, look at your thin body, eat more meat, otherwise the cool wind in the west will blow you down." ”
Ma Hong laughed, took the horse meat, and began to eat the meat with a big mouth.
"Brother, it's the first time you've come to Xiliang! How does it feel? Ma Chao asked again.
Ma Hong said without thinking: "Hehe, the Xiliang man is hard enough, the wind is spicy enough, and the girl is spicy enough." ”
Ma Hong was looking at Ma Yunlu when he said that the girl was spicy enough, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, Ma Yunlu smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Ma Chao knew that Ma Hong was talking about his sister, so he smiled and put his hand on Ma Hong's shoulder and said, "Brother, I thought that most of you Confucian students were rotten Confucians, but I didn't expect you to be quite different, brother." ”
Ma Hong also smiled: "I thought that the men in Xiliang were all rough and thick-skinned, but I didn't expect your brothers and sisters to be so handsome." ”
Ma Tie patted Ma Hong's leg and smiled: "Brother, are you Jingzhou people so straightforward?" When I first met my father, you praised the beauty of my whole family, and now you praise it? ”
Ma Tieyi made everyone laugh as soon as he spoke, but only Li Mo was silently eating horse meat, looking at Ma Chao's hands, which were a pair of very powerful hands, Li Mo could see that the hands must be stained with a lot of blood, and at this moment he became interested in the owner of these hands.
"Brother, take the liberty of asking, how many soldiers and horses does Liu Muzhou have?" Ma Chao asked.
"The power of my lord is not the strongest, but he can also rank third among the princes in the world, Jingzhou has not had a big war in recent years, with nearly 100,000 armor. If it weren't for the loss of 30,000 horses in the decisive battle with Sun Ce in Shaxian the year before last, the soldiers would have exceeded 100,000. ”
Ma Chao was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: This is three times that of all the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, my father now leads less than 10,000 troops, Han Sui is only more than 10,000 people, and the remaining forces add up to less than 20,000 people, which is very different from Liu Biao.
"Since Liu Muzhou has 100,000 armor, why can't he get rid of Zhang Lu, why do you want to ask us Xiliang for help." Matthew asked suddenly.
Ma Hong smiled slightly and said: "I think Brother Ma Xiu misunderstood, I didn't come this time to ask Xiliang to send troops to Hanzhong, but to talk to you about interests, Jingzhou and Yizhou besieged Hanzhong, we don't need Xiliang's help, we just don't want Xiliang to stand on Zhang Lu's side." I don't want you to become our enemy, it's not that Jingzhou is afraid that you will become enemies, but after Jingzhou takes Hanzhong, he wants to maintain a good relationship with Xiliang, which is conducive to business between the two sides. ”
"So, did you attack Hanzhong to do business with Xiliang?" Ma Chao asked.
Ma Hong nodded and said: "Jingzhou now has no road to connect with Xiliang, and Jingzhou lacks horses, so my lord wants to take Hanzhong." But my lord also doesn't want Zhang Lu to ask for help from Xiliang, Xiliang sent troops to Hanzhong, just imagine how Xiliang has many cavalry, how to cross the Qinling Mountains, even if he enters Hanzhong, the horseless combat power will be damaged. If we take Hanzhong and fight with Liangzhou, how should you and I trade in the future? ”
Ma Chao nodded and said, "Well, if we help Liu Muzhou, what good will it be?" ”
Ma Hong said with a smile: "Even if you don't move, after we take Hanzhong, we will send Xiliang 80,000 stone grain." However, looking at the current situation of Xiliang, I don't know how you will divide the 80,000 stone grain, and I don't know how to trade with you, because Xiliang is very chaotic now. ”
Ma Chao did not deny that the current Xiliang was very messy, he cut off another piece of horse meat and handed it to Ma Hong.
That night, Ma Hong met with Ma Teng, and Ma Chao also participated. The three talked all night, and Ma Teng promised Ma Hong to stand on Jingzhou's side, but Ma Teng's forces were far away from Hanzhong, and he was afraid that even if Jingzhou took Hanzhong, even if Xiliang was given grain, the grain would fall into Han Sui's hands. Ma Teng proposed that he should unite Han Sui and the Western Liang forces to send troops to Hanzhong to help the Jingzhou army destroy Zhang Lu together. But this is only Ma Teng's idea, and the leaders of the Xiliang forces will not all be in the same boat as him. But as long as half of the leaders agree to march into Hanzhong, then if the remaining half of the leaders don't go, they won't be able to get food, they will definitely go, and now as long as Han Sui agrees to march into Hanzhong, then half of them will be, because the combined forces of Han Sui and Ma Teng are half of Xiliang's strength.
In troubled times, all human favors and morals are worthless in the face of interests, if Zhang Lu gives Xiliang a more generous gift, then whose side will Xiliang stand on? No matter which side Xiliang is on, Ma Hong is not afraid, if the Xiliang soldiers on the horse are without horses, he doesn't mind burying the Xiliang army together. Ma Hong agreed to Ma Teng's march into Hanzhong, the purpose of his visit this time was to confirm whether Xiliang could send troops, seeing that there was no dispute between the forces in Xiliang now, they might jointly send troops, and what Ma Hong did was to confirm. If Xiliang sends troops to help Zhang Lu, Ma Hong is confident that they will not be able to reach Hanzhong, if Xiliang sends troops to Hanzhong to help Jingzhou, this is said to help, but in fact, he is afraid that he will grab food, and Ma Hong will naturally not let him reach Hanzhong smoothly. If you eliminate Zhang Lu, by the way, weaken the power of Xiliang, and when the time comes, after taking Hanzhong, the next dish will be Xiliang.
During the days when Ma Hong stayed in Xiliang, Ma Chao also inquired about Ma Hong's deeds, and knew that he had led 5,000 soldiers with Huang Jie to defeat Sun Ce, beheaded the general Cheng Pu, and captured Sun Quan and others. He also got that Ma Hong had taken 2,000 soldiers to break Wancheng in one day.
