Seventy-three before Lu and after the horse
"I've seen the general." The three of them glanced at He Chen slightly, although he had a faint smile on his face, but a fierce and majestic momentum came to his face, making people feel the majestic and murderous aura of Jin Ge's iron horse, the bloody battlefield, and the rest of his life. makes people unconsciously correct their attitudes, and they dare not make a sound in the atmosphere.
You can hate He Chen, you can disdain or look down on him, but it cannot be denied that He Chen is a victorious general who kills people like hemp, has a flaunted record, and is expected. Looking at the trajectory of his career for nearly ten years, along the way, he has been accompanied by non-stop killing and conquest, blood and bones. It is conceivable that if he can climb to such a high position, how many people and how much blood will become the tiptoe stones for his success? Whether it is the rebel Zhao Ci, or the powerful Dong Zhuo, or the Bai Bojun who has become a Hou Hu Cai and Li Le, or the Xianbei Budugen who peeps into the Central Plains and is eyeing the tiger, even if it is the fourth world and the third duke, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who hold the Qing and Ji people, which of the final ending is not ruined and disgraced, and withdraws from the Central Plains sequence?
Even the arrogant Ma Chao, when he saw He Chen's expression of not being angry and threatening for a long time, he put away his contempt and hostility, and bowed uprightly.
"Hehe, the three heroes of the Ma family don't need to be polite, please sit down." He Chen pretended to be very forced, and then played a high position, flicked his clothes, and sat down with the big horse golden knife, Dian Wei and Yan Ming followed up, and the entire powerful and arrogant aura shrouded the hall, making Ma Chao and the three of them much more honest.
He Chenhu glanced at it, and smiled secretly in his heart, Lao Tzu has lived for thousands of years, and the three of you will not be able to survive it, this general is in vain. coughed lightly, and then in the serious expressions of the three of them, he began to speak: "General Ben knows that the three of you must have some grievances and even dissatisfaction in your heart, in Xiliang Tiangao Emperor Yuan, it is comfortable to be a soil overlord, but he was suddenly sent to Beijing by General Ben as a hostage, and this huge gap is unbearable for anyone." Not to mention the three of you young men who are ready to show off their talents. ”
He Chen's words hit the hearts of the three of them, and they went to the heart.
"Transferring you back to Beijing, ostensibly as a proton, but in fact your actions are completely free, haven't you noticed? Of course, this is nothing, the fundamental goal is that General Ben is optimistic about the three of you. I want to cultivate, but I don't want others to know, so I made such a decision to lure the three of you to Kyoto. ”
The three of them looked at He Chen's sincere expression, on the one hand, their evil feelings towards him were greatly reduced, and on the other hand, their faces were full of doubts.
He Chen used his trick again and continued: "You should have heard of the deeds of Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Wei Yan and others, right?" ”
Ma Chao and the three nodded at the same time, Zhang Liao guarded Yanmen all the year round, his prestige was prominent, and the Xianbei who killed was defeated again and again, and the clan retreated hundreds of miles, and now he has become the general of the expedition to the west, and if he is an envoy, he will lead the 100,000 Northern Expedition Gongsun Zhan. It is rumored that before this person became famous, he was a small business under He Jin, but he was cheekily asked by He Chen from the Queen Mother, and he began to have a glorious career as a horseman. There is also Xu Huang, a small cavalry lieutenant under Yang Feng, who has been doing nothing for several years, once he arrived under He Chen's banner, he began to show his extraordinary side, with He Chen's southern expedition to the north, the battlefield of Rongma, countless achievements, and a story of a carp jumping over the dragon gate. As for Wei Yan, it is even more unbelievable, it is rumored that this person was born in a military household and has a humble status, but when he was in Xiangyang, he was a little pawn, but he was promoted by He Chen's eyes. When he merged the state, he showed extraordinary military talents, especially in the battle of Hebei, showing martial bravery, resourcefulness, and ability to unify the army, all of which were outstanding, and now he was entrusted with the important task of guarding Qingzhou and exterminating the Yellow Turban and Yuan Shaoyu.
What He Chen meant when he said this, Ma Chao of course understood that this was not to show off how fierce he was, but to tell them the two brothers, I, He, can use people, dare to use people, and will use people. As long as they are fancied, they all have outstanding points without exception, and as long as they work hard, they can lead the army and become a famous general in the Central Plains.
Ma Chao and Ma Daixian were a little excited, such as there have been rumors for a long time today, if you want to know if you are real money, go to the general of the Che Cavalry to check it, if there is real material, you can shine immediately. The people who can be promoted by He Chen can be said to be ten out of ten heroes who are really talented, and there are countless examples to prove his vision of seeing people.
He Chen took in the expressions of the three of them, and then said: "Ma Chao, your surname is Lie Biao, brave through the three armies, with the courage of ten thousand people, the world can beat you alone, and you can count it on one finger." However, because you are arrogant and never admit defeat, you are only a general at present, not a handsome material, if you have the heart to polish yourself, you can stay under the general's account and study hard to sharpen one side. As long as you are willing to let go of the prejudice in your heart, within three or five years, there will be a famous general named Ma Mengqi in this world. Your deeds and stories will be as famous as Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
He Chen's words, Ma Chao was not very convinced, why can't he be famous if he is not under you. I had the heart to refute, but I was afraid that I would contradict He Chen and make him hate his father for being close to him, so his face became a little gloomy and he didn't say a word.
He Chen saw it in his heart, laughed secretly, but said lightly: "I know that you are not convinced, so let's do it, General Ben will make a guard captain compare with you, if you can win, General Ben can let you go back to Liangzhou immediately, show you an official position, and help your father attack Guanzhong." If you can't win, you will obediently stay under the general's account and listen to the Hou's order, what do you think? ”
Ma Chao looked at Dian Wei and Yan Ming standing behind He Chen, and knew that if these two people could become personal guards, they would definitely have superior force, especially Dian Wei, who was known as He Chen's first bodyguard and beater, crowning the Central Plains, even Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang were not opponents. Thinking of this time, the surname of not admitting defeat made his fighting spirit burn, his eyes were full of blazing light, and he said without fear: "Since the general has said so, it is better to obey his fate than to be respectful." I just don't know if the general wants to make Dian Wei behind him fight? ”
"Hehe, Dian Wei's hand is dedicated to killing, it's not General Ben who said you, for now, you are not his opponent, even the general sent by Ben, I'm afraid you can't defeat him."
Under He Chen's successive agitations, not to mention how angry Ma Chao was in his heart, he felt that he was being looked down upon, and his anger kept rising, and finally even his tone was full of gunpowder: "Then you have to see what kind of three heads and six arms the general makes." ”
He Chen saw that the medicine was almost gone, so he smiled and shook his head, and said softly in Ma Chao's eyes: "You go to the front yard martial arts, Zhao Yun is waiting for you there." ”
"Zhao Yun?" Ma Chao searched his stomach and scraped his stomach, and when he was stunned, he couldn't remember that there was such a person in the Bingzhou Army, and he couldn't help but be furious, he couldn't imagine that he was despised by He Chen, and he actually sent a general with a low reputation to fight, isn't this a slap in the face?
"Then I will leave first, General He should remember what he just said." Ma Chao snorted coldly, turned around and left, acting extremely rude.
Sure enough, he was stunned, He Chen shook his head helplessly. In history, Ma Chao can be described as an extremely tragic figure, which has a great relationship with his surname. People often say that "the front table is Lu Bu, and the back table is Ma Chao", which is nothing more than to evaluate his martial arts and can compete with Lu Bu, but he is short of wisdom and skill, and he is brave in vain, causing him to suffer repeated defeats, and he has more losses and fewer victories in his life. In fact, the hero also needs a wide enough stage to show himself, otherwise he will only become a tragic figure.
In He Chen's heart, Ma Chao wants to use it, and he has to use it greatly. But his surname must be beaten, otherwise it will be bad sooner or later.
Looking at Ma Chao's life, people can't help but sigh for this talented and embarrassed general. This generation of famous generals who joined the army at the age of seventeen and broke Guo Yuanwei Town in Hedong at the age of twenty ended the rest of his life in such a miserable way. Isn't this because of his own failure as a human being?
At first, Ma Chao rebelled resolutely regardless of the danger to the lives of his father and family, resulting in the tragic killing of Ma Teng, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and other families. Historical records record that Ma Chao rebelled first, and Ma Teng was killed later.
Then he and Cao Ying were defeated and took refuge in Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu treated Ma Chao well, but Ma Chao didn't take it seriously, and felt that he had no future in Zhang Lu, so Liu Bei found someone to persuade Ma Chao to surrender, and Ma Chao didn't say a word and took refuge in Liu Bei overnight. Originally, it was nothing for everyone to look towards the light, but what about Ma Chao? The bad thing is that he once again disregarded the lives of his family, and when he went to vote for Liu Bei, he didn't even bring his concubine and son, and as a result, his son was killed and the concubine was given away.
Subsequently, after Liu Bei named Xichuan, Ma Chao was named General Pingxi, and he was the highest-ranking military attache in Liu Bei's office, and Ma Chao did not respect Liu Bei very much. Always call Liu Bei's name directly, such as Xuande. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei really couldn't look at it, and he wanted to kill him when he pulled out his sword. The impact of this in ancient societies can be imagined.
Later, because of Peng Yang's incident, Ma Chao was even more infamous, and no one dared to get along with him and make friends with him again, and he was even more suspicious of Liu Bei. Since then, Ma Chao has been depressed, and General Shenwei, who was in the year of fighting, ended his life at the age of 47 in despair.
Although Ma Chao has superior force, and is even known as the first person after Lu Bu, he also has enough military strategy, and even Cao Ying said: If the horse does not die, I have no place to be buried. However, Ma Chao's life is really difficult to summarize with a "good" or "bad", his surname is complex and changeable, his experience of ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs, and his record is too concise, for his 34 years before the army, 8 years in Shu is blank, for later generations, it is a mystery that is difficult to understand. Because of this, He Chen tried every means to beat this fierce general and let him use it wholeheartedly for himself.
