In fact, the so-called first and second are just different numbers in Liu Xin's eyes, and they don't have any special meaning, and he doesn't want to rank them out before and after, he hopes that all the legions are equally strong, so his journey to dominate the world will be smoother.

Liu Xin understood that in this era, cavalry was the most powerful armament, and if it weren't for the restrictions of horses, he would have formed more cavalry legions, so in his mind, the Sixth Legion was the true soul of the whole army, which was also the main reason why he let Zhao Yun serve as the commander of the Sixth Legion.

Seeing that Ma Chao had a difficult choice, Liu Xin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ma Chao, you were born in Xiliang and are good at riding and shooting, I think you will go to the Sixth Legion, there must be a place for you!" ”

When Ma Chao was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard that Liu Xin had made a choice for him, and he was immediately relieved, turned over and fell to the ground, and said loudly: "Thank you lord, Ma Chao will definitely go all out and live up to the lord's expectations!" ”

Liu Xin pulled him up and said, "Ma Chao, although you are brave, you have not made an inch, you can only start with a small school, no opinion, right?" ”

Ma Teng had already rushed to say: "If you can get the lord's personal arrangement, what else can he say!" ”

Seeing that Ma Teng's father and son's arrangements had been made, he arched his hand and said, "The matter is over, so please ask the lord to return to the house early, so as not to make the ladies wait for a long time." ”

Seeing Ma Teng's surprised eyes, Tian Feng explained: "General Ma, you don't know, the lord has just returned to Xiangyang from Nanzhong, and he didn't even enter the house, so he went straight to you. ”

Ma Teng has been fidgeting because he can't get Liu Xin's reception, always thinking that he is prevaricating and trying to put his family under house arrest, until this time I realized that Liu Xin was really not in Xiangyang, and he was a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Ma Teng was moved to tears, and his knees were weak and he wanted to bow down again.

Liu Xin hurriedly grabbed him and said, "In order to revive the Han family, Master Ma left his family and business to come to Xiangyang, and Liu went home for a while at night. Master Ma, I heard that there are several children and a general who came to Xiangyang with you, I don't know where they are now, Liu also brought some gifts from Shu to them. ”

The strong man who had been standing behind Ma Teng suddenly stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said loudly: "The last general, Pang De, see the lord!" ”

Actually, Liu Xin had noticed him a long time ago, but he didn't say anything. Liu Xin knew that Pang De was a righteous person, so he waved behind him, and three soldiers had already come in, each holding a brocade robe.

Liu Xin took a collar and handed it to Ma Teng, and said with a smile: "Master Ma, you don't have much chance to fight in the future, take this Shu brocade and hundred flowers robe and keep it as a souvenir." ”

Ma Teng also smiled and said: "Thank you for the reward, it's not just a commemoration, this is the heirloom of my Ma family." ”

Liu Xin took another collar, draped it on Ma Chao's body, and said: "Ma Chao, you have to work hard when you get to the army, and when you become a general, this brocade robe will be useful." ”

Ma Chao got this brocade robe, as if he had really become a general who commanded thousands of armies, and he put it on his body, but he was reluctant to take it off.

Liu Xin came to Pang De at this time, and also draped a brocade robe on him, and said: "I have heard that General Pang is strong in martial arts and has a strong opponent of 10,000 people, but there are many conditions for promotion in the army, and I also ask General Pang to succumb to the Sixth Army first and temporarily serve as a captain." You and Ma Chao are already familiar with each other, so you can take care of him. ”

Ma Chao suddenly said loudly: "Lord Qi, Ma Chao doesn't want to be in the same legion as General Pang!" ”

Liu Xin frowned and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Ma Chao patted his chest and said: "Ma Chao doesn't want to be taken care of, he wants to seek a career with his true skills!" ”

Of course, Liu Xin hopes to separate Ma Chao and Pang De, so that in this way, over time, they will truly integrate into the entire Han army and become Liu Xin's two sharp weapons to unify the world. However, Liu Xin couldn't do it too obviously, so he used this trick to capture the old man, and seeing that Ma Chao was really fooled, Liu Xin took the opportunity to say: "Okay, it is worthy of being the son of Lord Ma, and he is really ambitious!" In this way, General Pang will first go to the First Army Corps as a captain. ”

Ma Teng was still full of gratitude, and he didn't see Liu Xin's intentions at all, turned to Ma Chao and asked, "Where are your younger brothers?" ”

Ma Chao pointed to the door and said, "They went to the street early in the morning to play, and they haven't come back yet." ”

After Ma Teng's family arrived in Xiangyang, they were given a temporary place to live, which was also in Dongcheng District, with the front hall, back house, garden, furniture, and tithes, and the Ma family had their own maids and servants brought from Liangzhou, and other daily necessities were all supplied by the state government, and life was worry-free. Xiangyang City is prosperous, is it comparable to Xiliang? The children are young and playful, so they naturally go out early every day and don't come back until it's time to eat.

Suddenly, someone shouted outside the door: "Dad, why are so many people in the house?" ”

As the courtyard door was pushed open, three tiger-headed teenagers walked in. Liu Xin praised casually: "Master Ma, your sons are really extraordinary, and they will all become great weapons in the future." ”

Ma Teng said humbly: "The lord praises it! These kids are very naughty. That is his nephew Ma Dai, and the other two are his second son Ma Xiu and third son Ma Tie. ”

The three teenagers stared at the brocade robe on Ma Chao's body, and the envious look seemed to be falling off, but this Ma Chao also deliberately shook the brocade robe on his body twice.

Liu Xin said with a smile: "Don't be jealous of Ma Chao, when you grow up in the future, everyone will have a share." I'll give you a little gift first. ”

Seeing the gift given by Liu Xin, several teenagers were bright-eyed, it was a few pairs of trumpet bows and arrows, exquisite workmanship, and it was also produced by the research institute, which was customized by Liu Xin for the children in his family, and it was just right for these children and nephews to give to Ma Teng.

Liu Xin asked again: "I don't know if Master Ma has a daughter?" ”

He studied well this time, and he didn't blurt out Cai Mao's sister like when he first arrived in Xiangyang, and he was almost out of control.

Ma Teng said with a gloomy expression: "My subordinates originally had a young daughter, but they were killed by Han Sui with his clumsy wife that year. ”

Liu Xin said embarrassedly: "Master Ma, I'm really sorry for reminding you of your sad past, Liu is definitely not intended, and I hope Lord Ma will not blame." ”

Ma Teng smiled and said: "That's all in the past, not to mention that the lord has already avenged his subordinates." I just don't know when my subordinates will take office? ”

Ma Chao also said on the side: "Yes, yes, may I ask the lord, when will Ma Chao report to the barracks?" ”

Pang De also arched his hand and said: "The last general is also waiting to make contributions to the Lord!" ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, when you first arrive in Xiangyang, you will play here for a few days first, and when the military horses from all walks of life are dispatched, I will let people inform you." ”

easily got Ma Teng's family, Liu Xin was naturally in a good mood, how Ma Xiu and Ma Tie's martial arts were, he didn't know, but Ma Chao and Pang De were both fierce generals on the same level as Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun, and even Ma Dai was also strong in martial arts, and he had a few more powerful assistants in the future war to dominate the world.

Ma Yun took the sisters to look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to Liu Xin. As soon as he entered the door, Ma Yun didn't say anything, first stuffed a set of clothes into his hand, and said, "Quickly change and cook!" ”

Liu Xin said with a bitter face: "Wife, you don't have to be so ruthless, you have to let me take a breath." ”

Bian Yu covered her mouth and laughed so much that Cai Yan had already said: "Husband, if you don't go, you will starve our new sister, and you can't afford it." ”

Liu Xin reluctantly changed into that set of "work clothes", this costume was designed by himself, and was sewn by Zhu Qian's skillful hands, which was similar to what later generations of chefs worn, of course, with a high hat. In fact, Liu Xin knew in her heart that they didn't really want to try their craft, but just wanted to express their acceptance of Zhurong, a new member of the family. As for whether the new member wants to taste it or not, no one can say for sure, although she has been hiding behind, Liu Xin can still see her quietly smacking her lips.

All the ingredients have been prepared, and Zhu Qian is helping him to start, so Liu Xin's movements are very fast, cutting chicken, stir-frying kidney flowers, sweet and sour osmanthus fish...... Plate after plate was served on the table.

Because Liu Xin went to Ma Teng first, he was delayed for some time, so the children had already eaten, and only Ma Yun and the others were left in this restaurant. Liu Xin looked at the "fruits of labor" on the table, and his index finger moved, and he was about to start lifting the chopsticks, but was stopped by Ma Yun and said: "Husband, you are not allowed to eat, go and see your two precious daughters first!" ”

What Ma Yun said was naturally the daughter of Cai Jue and Lai Ying'er, because neither of their children had a full moon, so the two of them did not come here. Liu Xin shrugged his shoulders, put down his chopsticks and turned to leave, and there was a coquettish smile behind him.

The news of Liu Xin's return, Cai Jue and Lai Ying'er already knew, but they were all in confinement, of course, it was not easy to go to the restaurant.

Cai Jue was lying on the bed, half of his clothes were open, and he was breastfeeding the child, under the influence of Ma Yun, and now several women insist on breastfeeding their children by themselves, and refuse to use a wet nurse. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door, Cai Jue only thought that the maid had come in, and she didn't care, until Liu Xin's big hand touched the child's smooth little face, Cai Jue was shocked and said happily: "Master, why are you here." ”

Liu Xin sat down beside her and said, "Look, the child eats so happily, he must be a little gluttonous cat when he grows up." ”

Cai Jue suddenly blushed and said, "Master, turn around." ”

"It's all old husbands and wives, why are you still shy?" Liu Xin teased the child and said, "Jue'er, I wasn't by your side when I gave birth, and I made you suffer." ”

Cai Jue lowered his head and said, "Master, I want to ask you for something." ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Well, you just want the moon in the sky, and I will pick it off for you." ”

Cai Juejiao said angrily: "Master, how dare Jue'er make such an unbounded request, Jue'er just wants to ask the master to agree, don't let our daughter practice martial arts." ”
