Chapter 21: To Wudu
Travel to Wudu
Inside the Meridian Valley; As the Meridian Valley went deeper for two days, he also realized that Han Xin led tens of thousands of soldiers through the hardships and wills of the Meridian Valley that day, "There is a flat land over there that is just enough to garrison troops, and it is very secret," Fu Yan reconnoitred in front and reported to Zhuge Qiao
"You lead the way, let's go and see"
When you get closer, this is really a natural good place for garrisons, which can prevent anyone from finding out in the valley and the terrain is flat, and you can also train the army. "Everyone will live here in the future"
So the big guy also began to tidy up the place; In less than two hours, a few military tents were raised, and the surrounding obstructive stones and trees were all uprooted, and a small military camp was alive, but there was no need to defend it here; If there is really something to attack them, it can only be a wealth wolf, tiger and leopard, and they will just add food to themselves.
"Lantian, you take a few people to the mountains to see if there is any wild meat, to satisfy the big guys," Zhuge Qiao teased Qin Shan.
"Just go, as long as there is! He will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of my hand," Qin Shan was full of confidence
The sky gradually darkened, Zhuge Qiao saw that Qin Shan and they had not come back yet, so he was in a hurry, and was about to go up the mountain to find their traces, and was preparing to go up the mountain; A few figures suddenly came out of Cong Mountain, who else would they have if it weren't for Qin Mountain.
"Tun Chief, look at what this is," Qin Shan pointed to what they had just fallen
Because it was too dark, and the torches were not bright enough; Zhuge Qiao got closer and found that it was a big wild boar, "How did you catch it, this thing is so fierce," Zhuge Qiao said in surprise
"Tun Chang, you underestimate us too much, can it run as fast as me Qin Lantian again" Qin Shan boasted to himself; It's a pity that his teammates can't stand it anymore, "Tun Chief, he lied to you, the wild boar was caught by us together," the man said with a smile; Qin Shan was lifted by someone when he heard it, "I just said, it doesn't have 'we' to run fast, don't get me wrong", a hurried explanation.
"Why do you say so much, peel the skin and put it on the shelf, and have a full meal tonight to comfort your body" Zhuge Qiao was ready to get the skin without saying a word.
After eating fragrant wild boar meat at night, the big guys also went into the tent to sleep, and only three people were outside the police station, just in case. At this time, Zhuge Qiao was still thinking about other things and couldn't sleep, "Ma Chao, Ma Chao, why don't you dare to use you, you died so early in the end, and the revenge didn't have time to be avenged; Since God let me come, I will change this fact, if you want to unify Guanzhong, you must also take down Xiliang, it is not easy to take down Xiliang without Ma Chao, and the national strength of Shuzhong is also unaffordable, and I will go to meet this Ma Chao in a few days.
In Zhuge Qiao's tent, "Our main task here is to understand the terrain here, and the most important thing is that the garrison of the Cao army in the Meridian Pass and how much time to report to Yongzhou, as well as how often their baggage is transported, must be clearly understood, but remember not to let the Cao soldiers find out our whereabouts; And the necessary training still can't be stopped, especially the familiarity with the dagger," Zhuge Qiao commanded; And there are only five people in this camp, Chen Qi, Liu Yu, Fu Yan, Qin Shan and Zhuge Qiao.
"Tun Chief, do you mean that you have to go somewhere" Qin Shan heard Zhuge Qiao's meaning very much
"Indeed, I'll go back to Wudu in three days,"
"To do that, you need more people to do it"
"It may take a month to meet someone, and we will go back to Chengdu after I come back, so in the meantime, you have to complete the tasks I said; I'm only going to take one person with me this time."
"Tun Chang knows that it's Lan Yu, so don't spit it out," Liu Yu also guessed Zhuge Qiao's psychology
"Siyou (note: Siyou is Liu Yu's word, but I didn't mention it before) You guessed wrong this time, this time without Lan Yu, he has to teach you how to live in the mountains here, Lan Yu has been living in the mountains before" said, Zhuge Qiao also stared at Qin Shan's eyes.
"Who could it be," Liu Yu asked, and the other three also looked at Zhuge Qiao with their eyes wide open
"It's a team of two Shi Ma Jing, I have observed him, and found that he can also take on big responsibilities in the future and is very righteous"
"It's actually our team, that kid has only been in the army for two years, usually the most righteous and very strong, to be honest, I don't have to be his opponent when I test his marksmanship, I wanted to promote him, but he was only nineteen years old, and he couldn't convince the public, so it was delayed" When Chen Qi heard that it was Ma Jing, he immediately flashed a trace of surprise.
"Yonghong (note: Yonghong is the word of Chen Period) Don't blame yourself, if you really have the ability to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield in the future, are you afraid that you will not have an official position?"
Three days later; With Ma Jing, Zhuge Qiao started on the road again. When Ma Jing was told to go to Wudu with Zhuge Qiao, he didn't react and thought it was a group of people, he was just one of them; turned out to tell him that there was no one else but him, he was stunned, he didn't know why he was only alone, and he was only subordinate to the tun chief, but he was still a little excited when he thought about it, so he followed Zhuge Qiao to start the trip.
On the way, Ma Jing couldn't help but ask, "Tun Chief, why do you choose only me and not others?"
"Because you are not an ordinary person, you have discovered it yourself," Zhuge Qiao responded with a smile
"I don't have an official position, I'm just an ordinary soldier, just like everyone else."
"Didn't you discover your characteristics about the second general?"
"Tun Chief, don't laugh, General Guan Er is not comparable to anyone, not to mention my pawn" Although Ma Jing said so, he was extremely happy in his heart.
"I heard from the people of your team that when they were chased by the enemy cavalry outside Xiangyang City, you desperately tried to save them, this is 'righteousness'; General Guan Er is known for his loyalty and righteousness, so you are all righteous people; you need people like you to be a guard when you go to Wudu."
"I'm not as great as the tun chief said, but I'm very happy to be the tun chief's guard."
Zhuge Qiao was relieved when he saw Ma Jing, "Actually, I really have something to ask you."
"Tun Chief, don't tease me, what can I help you" Ma Jing looked at Zhuge Qiao's heart and began to furle.
"A task that only you can complete," Zhuge Qiao stared at Ma Jing with very serious eyes
"Tun Chief, you can say it, as long as I Ma Jing can do it, I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire."
"Do you know Ma Chao"
"General Pingxi Ma Chaowei's name is unknown to everyone who doesn't know, I admire General Ma the most"
"Do you know that he doesn't have an heir now, so I think you can recognize Ma Chao as your father-in-law, so that General Ma can have a successor" Zhuge Qiao completely spit out his thoughts in one breath, leaving only that unbelievable Ma Jing on his face.
"If the tun chief is not joking, and if General Ma can agree, Ma Jing is very happy to be General Ma Chao's righteous son" Ma Jing did not refuse to agree like many people, but responded very happily.
"This is true, I believe Ma Chao will agree, but do you know what I sent you for"
"Subordinates don't know"
"The king of Hanzhong has not appointed General Ma for a long time, and although General Ma was named General Pingxi and is the general of the Five Tigers, he has no real power in his hands, and some are only a few thousand Xiliang iron horsemen left in his hands, do you know why the King of Hanzhong treats General Ma like this"
"I've heard people talk about it, but I really don't know why."
"This is because the king of Hanzhong is not at ease with him, after all, he was also a prince back then, Cao Cao was killed on the battlefield of Tongguan and abandoned his robe, and then the queen of Hanzhong was disrespectful to the king of Hanzhong, and he directly called the king of Hanzhong 'Xuande', and he had no friends to make friends with him, so the current Ma Chao can be described as a lonely person, so he sent you there; one is to inherit the heirs of General Ma in the future, and the other is to pay attention to him, so as to avoid him from rebelling after the Northern Expedition in the future"
"Subordinates remember"
"That's right, let's go on the road" Zhuge Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, if there was no emergency, Ma Chao should not refuse, after all, his identity was there, and Zhuge Qiao explained some things along the way.
After more than ten days of traveling, Zhuge Qiao and the others finally came to the city of Wudu, "Enter the city, go and meet the invincible Ma Chao" Zhuge Qiao looked at the word 'Wudu' on the city gate.
