Chapter Sixty-Eight: Fame
Cao Ying couldn't hide it anymore, and pondered for a while: "I have brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan with different surnames, both of whom have the courage of ten thousand people, and they can win against Ma Chao!" ”
He Jinxi said: "Could it be the Xiahou brother of Peiguo?" I've heard of it! With the help of the Xiahou brothers, why worry about the big thing? ”
Several people quickly finalized five people to fight, but the ring was held for three days, and theoretically there were six people who were qualified to challenge Ma Chao, only the last one. Later, everyone here recommended a few candidates, but after several deliberations, they were all denied one by one, because He Jin not only wanted to win the six captains, but also took advantage of this matter to hit Ma Chao's reputation hard, vowing to make him, the champion, invincible, if he can succeed, he, the champion, will also be discredited and become a laughing stock!
Seeing that the sixth person was difficult to find, He Jin couldn't help but look at Ding Yuan with deep meaning, and asked: "I used to hear that Brother Jianyang has a righteous son, Lu Bu, the word Fengxian, used to make a Fang Tian painting halberd, his people are skilled in bows and horses, and his strength is great, he is known as the 'flying general', and he is actually the first military general in the state. ”
Ding Yuan was embarrassed for a while, he had an excellent relationship with He Jin, and he was repeatedly promoted by He Jin, and it was He Jin's work to be able to become the assassin of the state. But Brother Xiao Ma is not only his nephew and son-in-law, but the two are friends who have forgotten their years, and they really don't want to tear down Brother Xiaoma's platform, he knows that if Lu Bu comes to fight, Ma Chao will definitely be defeated! After a little contemplation, he said: "Although Feng Xian is brave, but at this time, he is entangled in military affairs, and he is stationed in Baibo Valley to monitor the remnants of the Yellow Turban who are about to move recently, which is related to the safety of the state, and I am afraid that he will lack skills!" ”
"I see!" He Jin didn't force it, but his face was very unswerving.
He Miao suddenly had an idea, and said urgently: "Brother don't worry too much, my brother can recommend one person to win Ma Chao." ”
He Jin said: "Who can recommend the second brother?" Tell me about it! ”
"Big brother, don't worry, speaking of which, this person is still our brother's fellow countryman, and there has been a gap before, could it be that the eldest brother doesn't remember it at all?"
He Jin suddenly realized when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Could it be the pavilion chief surnamed Huang in Linxian County?" ”
He Miao said: "Yes, it is this person, last month the younger brother returned to his hometown to visit his father and also saw this person, the only son of the husband is seriously ill at the moment, is in urgent need of gold and silver to see Langzhong, I heard that he has the ambition to join the army, now just send someone to recruit and promise heavy profits, this person will come to work for us!" ”
He Jin was overjoyed, and pondered for a while: "This matter needs to be handed over to the public festival to do, you just need to do so"
Wang Kuang was just an errand runner in He Jin's mansion at this time, and when he heard this, he said confidently: "The general can rest assured, as he said, Kuang will definitely promote that Huang Han to serve the general!" ”
Zhang Rang and other eunuchs are still very efficient, they have already prepared everything for this matter, and before the early days of the dynasty, a messenger rode a fast horse to the prefecture and county near Luoyang to deliver the edict. By the end of the early dynasty, the news had spread in the five counties of Yingchuan, Nanyang, Hanoi, Chenliu, and Hongnong near Luoyang. After changing horses, the messengers rushed to Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili without stopping, and the news spread like a flood in the places they passed.
According to this speed, in addition to the distant Liangzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou, as well as some Youzhou, eighty percent of the places in the Han Dynasty can know about the Ling Emperor's heroic fight.
Brother Xiao Ma didn't know that Zhang Rang and the others had scolded him fiercely, and he thought that his calculation had succeeded! I don't know that He Jin racked his brains to find six generals to deal with him. At this moment, he had just received a battle report from the prairie, and Pang De, Wang Shuang, and Ma Xiu had been on the expedition for nearly this month, successfully replicating the successful precedent of the Shenwei Battalion.
In front, 7,000 iron cavalry opened the way, annihilating its resistance with incomparable mobile and cavalry superiority, and behind it, more than 10,000 Hun troops wantonly burned and looted, and the three-light policy of robbing, burning, and killing was completely implemented everywhere they passed. The brutality of the Huns was far greater than that of the Xiliang army, and it was simply evil. Not only often annihilated. The women who came from the silver, even the underage Lori did not let go, as long as the young women were all snatched back to the Huns, the men were left only to be strong men as coolies, and the other old and weak women and children were not left alive.
Wuheng King Qiu Liju regretted it at this moment, and had to transfer back the troops supporting Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju to intercept the Xiliang coalition army with all their might. But the effect is not very good, the Xiliang coalition army never confronts head-on, resulting in the Wuheng people not daring to chase, retreating and not daring to withdraw, once deeply affected by the devastating Dun eat a trench and grow a wisdom, Suo surname to do a shrunken turtle, while organizing the remnants of the army to defend the city, while organizing the people of Wuheng to drive cattle and horses to retreat to the hilly area of the generation of Liaoxi, even the grain that is about to be harvested in autumn is not taken into account.
The coalition army drove away the Wuheng people and did not attack the city, but organized prisoners to grab grain, and large herds of cattle, horses and sheep were driven to the Southern Xiongnu, and the grain was also pulled in carts, and countless materials were captured. The population has nearly 30,000 strong captives, and the women cannot be counted, because most of them were taken home by the Huns to be mothers-in-law, and the young ones were also raised.
Brother Xiao Ma is not disgusted by this, women are like goods these days, and they can also be said to be a kind of population resource, whether it is a grassland alien race, or the Han Yellow Turban Rebellion, women are rarely slaughtered. Because women are necessary to increase the population, and there will be no riots, men are different, because once they are outnumbered, someone will take the lead and become the fuse of the riot, and if they are not careful, they will play with fire. Burn.
Little Pony immediately gave instructions; Ordered Pang De and others to quickly grab the grain, and they must exit the Wuheng grassland before the snow and return to the Southern Xiongnu royal court to assemble and stand by, and at the same time pay attention to maintaining vigilance and try to ensure that there is no riot in the Southern Xiongnu royal court.
Since the blitzkrieg has been successful, there is no need for Xiao Ma to destroy Wuheng at this time, because the siege war is a war of attrition, and he doesn't want to use the only trump card in his hand to attack the city. Besides, Wuheng has been greatly injured after this battle, the population is less than fifty percent of the original, and the economy has also been seriously damaged, no matter how difficult it is to affect the war in the Central Plains, it is better to give them a few years to recuperate, and then free up their hands to completely eliminate them, so that they can plunder again and harvest a large number of materials.
At the same time, Fa Zheng, Ma Dai, and Ma Tie also sent troops to Xianbei as scheduled, and attacked Xianbei left and right with Xiliang Han. There were only 5,000 Fazheng troops, of which the combat unit was only 3,000 Shenwei battalions, and the other 2,000 were logistics and transport teams.
On the other hand, Han Sui was different, Han Sui was eager to make contributions, and almost poured out, and 50,000 cavalry were equipped with saddle pedals and trained for a few days before heading straight to Xianbei. It's a pity that the two teams have just sent out their troops, and there is no battle at this time, but Brother Xiao Ma is full of confidence, the two armies will be able to hit Xianbei with lightning, as long as they rob them of the food and livestock in the field, winter is coming, even if they are hungry, they can starve to death a large number of Xianbei people.
In the next two days, Brother Xiao Ma was not easy at all, and he didn't even have time to chat with Du Xiuniang. In the afternoon, he visited his uncle Ma Yuepan, who had helped him many times, and went to Yuan Kui's mansion to visit Ma Lun, the clan grandmother, under the guidance of Ma Yuepan. An extremely kind old lady treated Ma Chao as if she were her own grandson, constantly shushing and asking for warmth.
Brother Xiao Ma gave full play to his eloquence, and only coaxed the two aunts and nephews to laugh, even Yuan Kui also appreciated Brother Xiao Ma, heard that Brother Xiao Ma was good at calligraphy, and deliberately asked Ma Chao to leave Mobao. Brother Xiao Ma was unceremonious, and immediately plagiarized a clear sentence: The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy.
The next time, under the introduction of Ma Yueyan, he visited the great Confucian Lu Zhi and Yang Biao, as well as the famous generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, all four of whom were important ministers in the court and had a very high prestige, so they had to make friends. As for He Jin, he was directly ignored by Brother Xiaoma, since he climbed the big tree of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, the He Jin brothers have no talent and no virtue, and they have long lost the value of use, so there is no need to continue to please them.
The fly in the ointment is that Wang Yun offended Zhang Rang, and at the moment he is incognito and in exile and is missing, and it is impossible to inquire about Diao Chan's whereabouts. And the official history of later generations does not have any record of Diao Chan at all, it is difficult to say whether there is such a person, Brother Xiao Ma can only wait for the rabbit, I am fortunate to get it, and I lose my life.
In the blink of an eye, Luoyang City was very lively at this time, and the people had already learned about the hero's fight. With Brother Xiaoma, the future concubine, the champion of the dynasty, Hou also began to become famous and well-known, breaking the Huns, marrying ghost wives, defeating Wuheng, conquering Xianbei, and seeking Montenegro and other deeds quickly spread among the people, and there was a tendency to spread to the entire Han Dynasty, and the name of Ma Mengqi was once again pushed to the forefront.
At the end of the third day, Xiao Ma was practicing martial arts in the open space in the house, preparing to deal with the challenges of heroes from all walks of life, and suddenly a guard came to report, Ma Yueyan, Lu Zhi, and Yang Biao came to visit.
Ma Chao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out to greet him in person, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Brother Xiao Ma quickly learned the intention of the three of them. It turned out that under the activities of Ma Yueyan, the three of them decided to promote Xiao Ma's calligraphy font in the Han Dynasty after careful consideration, and if the effect is good and popular, it can replace Cai Yong's flying white style and become the official style of the Han Dynasty.
After the three of them discussed, they reported the matter to Emperor Ling, and the result was unexpectedly smooth, and Emperor Ling agreed without thinking about it after reading the ink treasure that Ma Chao wrote to Ma Yueyan. And I came to visit Ma Chao to ask for Ma Chao's meaning, and secondly, to ask for the handwriting of the article, so that the craftsman could engrave the stele and place it in the markets of various states and counties, so as to facilitate the study and appreciation of scholars and doctors.
Brother Xiao Ma was excited when he heard this, but he didn't expect that this clan uncle and Yinjun old man were really interesting, if this matter became a famous figure for the ages, replacing Wang Xizhi a hundred years later to become the originator of calligraphy, and his works will also become rare treasures like "Lanting Collection Preface", hundreds of years or even thousands of years later, it will be a cultural relic, and it is priceless.
Not only that, the writing speed is fast, the writing is smooth, beautiful and generous, no matter which aspect is to surpass the Feibai font that is about to be replaced by regular script, it will be recognized by the world's scholars. As for the regular script little brother, he doesn't plan to let it go, because this clock is still not famous, rather than letting him be the originator of regular script, it is better to occupy it himself, and it will not be in vain!
