Ding Yuan shook his head and said: "We don't have to brag to each other, the fact that the virtuous nephew united with the Southern Xiongnu to defeat the Wuheng cavalry this time is a great achievement, otherwise I am afraid that the land of my annex will be difficult to escape the poison, I have quickly reported this matter to the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven will definitely have a reward for the virtuous nephew." ”

Brother Xiao Ma was overjoyed, and said with a fist: "The Southern Xiongnu have always been attached to my Han, and the previous war was only caused by the rebellion of King Zuo Xian and others. At this time, the vitality of the Southern Xiongnu had just been damaged, and the Wuheng people came to take advantage of the fire to rob, and their intentions were really not ancient. Invasion of the Southern Huns is no different from offending my Han, my famous Han general Chen Tang once said: "Those who commit strong Han offenses will be punished even if they are far away", therefore, the little nephew not only annihilated the 30,000 cavalry of Wuheng, but also sent his subordinates to unite the cavalry of the Southern Huns with a total of 20,000 troops to go to Wuheng, and it will be severely damaged to shock my Han Tianwei! ”

"Good! You can say that again! Ding Yuan was a little excited, and his eyebrows flew and he said: "After the virtuous nephew is worthy of being a famous general, his merits are comparable to that of the champion Hou of the year. ”

Ma Chao said: "Chao does not seek fame and fortune, only the blood and pride of serving the country, and it is not a pity to die!" With that, he turned around and glanced at the Subu Bone who had just caught up. The latter understood, and also turned over and dismounted Ma Shili and said: "Xiao Wang Xu Bugu has seen Lord Bingzhou Thorn Sting. ”

Ding Yuan also saluted: "The king doesn't need to be polite, I have already informed the Son of Heaven and the general about the rebellion of the Southern Huns." The Son of Heaven was furious, and ordered Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, and Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, to jointly send troops to recruit Yu Fuluo, but unfortunately he was informed in advance, and led more than 7,000 horses into Taihang Mountain one step in advance to mix with the Black Mountain thieves, and there was nothing he could do for a while. ”

After a pause, he said: "This time, Wuheng fought unfavorably in the Southern Xiongnu, not only losing 30,000 strong soldiers, but also summoning 20,000 allied troops to fight. That old fellow in Chuliju will definitely draw his forces to deal with the invading coalition forces with all his might. Without the assistance of the Wuheng people, how could Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju and the two thieves block the attack of the two fierce generals of Youzhou Gongsun Zan and Jizhou Liyi! This is also the merit of the two, and I will definitely pay tribute to the son of tomorrow for the merit of the two. ”

Xu Bugu said with great joy: "Thank you Lord Ding, Xiao Wang came here to send 100,000 pounds of grain and grass, 500 catties of gold and silver, in addition to two boxes of jewelry, 200 horses of silk, and please Lord Ding smiled, if Lord Ding can open up the trade of grain, cloth, salt and iron, Xiao Wang can't help but be grateful!" ”

Ding Yuan nodded and said: "That's nature, the king is a reasonable person, as long as the son of today is not to blame, this assassin history can not be blamed in the past!" ”

As he spoke, the team behind him also caught up, and most of the more than 100 carts were dedicated to Ding Yuan's grain and grass. Brother Xiao Ma also prepared a heavy gift, in addition to the two boxes of jewelry that had been promised to Ding Yuan a long time ago, all the civil and military officials under his command had generous gifts, only Lu Bu and Gao Shun were not among them, but they saved two copies.

Ding Yuan was overjoyed, and immediately introduced his subordinates to Brother Xiao Ma one by one, most of them are famous figures in history, such as Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Song Xian and others are all there, but unfortunately Gao Shun, who is most worthy of Brother Xiaoma's expectations, is not among them, but he unexpectedly met Qin Yi, the little white face.

Brother Gao Shun has long coveted Xiao Ma, this person is very good at training, and even better at charging into battle, and in the romance, he has defeated the famous generals Guan Yu and Xiahoudun in small-scale battles. Coupled with being cautious, loyal, and handsome, he is really a handsome person who stands alone, and in Brother Xiaoma's current team, only Pang De can compare with him.

As for how Gao Shun's force was in later generations, there was quite a lot of controversy, as far as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is concerned, there are not many pen and ink describing Gao Shun, and there are two heads-up appearances. Once against the super-first-class fierce general Xiahoudun, Gao Shun fled after fighting for forty or fifty times, it is worth noting that Gao Shun did not flee back to his own formation after defeat, but fled around the formation, which is obviously not in line with common sense, could it be that Gao Shun was stunned?

But in the end, Gao Shun didn't have a, but Xiahoudun was shot blind in one eye by the surname Cao, which shows that Gao Shun is very likely to deceive and lure the enemy, deliberately creating opportunities for the surname Cao. Even if it wasn't, with the record of being able to fight with Xiahoudun for forty or fifty times, it was enough to advance to the ranks of first-class generals.

The second time is against Zhang Fei, what kind of fierce man Zhang Fei is needless to say, he was undefeated in the Tiger Prison Pass with Lu Bu for seventy or eighty battles, and when they were in Xuzhou, the two were single-handedly several times, and Zhang Fei was able to block Lu Bu for a hundred rounds of undefeated is an indisputable fact. Gao Shun naturally saw all this, but in this case, Gao Shun dared to take the initiative to fight Zhang Fei and was invincible. Note! The book talks about not winning, not losing, and it was only because Lu Bu wanted to defeat Zhang Fei quickly that he replaced Gao Shun, who couldn't win. This shows that Gao Shun thinks that his martial arts are no worse than Zhang Fei, otherwise wouldn't his initiative to fight Zhang Fei be equivalent to death?

In addition, Gao Shun's status under Lu Bu was even higher than that of Zhang Liao, higher than that of the Eight Warriors, and he had led the army alone many times, and Zhang Liao was still Gao Shun's deputy at that time. Of course, this does not mean that Gao Shun must be stronger than Zhang Liao in the use of troops, and there are also factors of seniority and prestige, but at least it is certain that Gao Shun's ability to use troops and martial arts are between Zhang Liao, and even if there is a gap, it is not very big, which has been confirmed by Brother Xiao Ma from Zhang Liao's mouth.

As for the little white-faced Qin Yi Xiaoma brother, he didn't have any covetous intentions, but he wanted to find a stunning beauty in the late Han Dynasty through this person, that is, the Du family who was related to Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Cao Ying. Lu Bu was despised for being lustful, and even hooked up with Dong Zhuo's personal maid, and later had an affair with his subordinate wife during the occupation of Xuzhou, who was Qin Yi's wife Du Shi at that time.

According to historical records, Lü Bu sent Qin Yi to envoy Yuan Shu to ask for help during the siege of Xiapi. In order to delay time, Yuan Shu took Xu Zhi, a woman surnamed Liu of the Han Dynasty, and Qin Yina as his wife, and abandoned the Du family from then on. And Du Shi and his son Qin Lang still live in Xiapi City, during which they were not only slept by Lu Bu, but also coveted by Guan Yu outside the city. Guan Yu had asked Cao Ying several times to give him this woman as a concubine after the city was broken, and Cao Ying agreed, but when he saw that Du's appearance was peerless and beautiful, he accepted the surname Suo as a concubine and did not mention anything about Guan Yu. Guan Erye was annoyed by this, so he left Cao Ying and returned to Liu Bei's side.

After a polite look outside the city, everyone knows each other, and no one looks down on Ma Chao because of his youth, just because those exploits are really not something that a twelve-year-old boy can do. In addition, Brother Xiao Ma is more than seven feet long, dignified, modest and polite, not proud of his achievements, and leaves a very good impression on everyone.

That night, Ding Yuan held a feast in the mansion to wash the dust for Xiao Ma Ge and Xu Bu Gu, and sat with the state civil and military officials. After three rounds of drinking, Ding Yuan smiled with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is a young hero, his name has spread all over the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the righteous act of marrying a ghost as a wife is really admirable. ”

Brother Xiao Ma felt helpless for a while, although arranged marriages have been implemented in these years, the parties must always meet each other! How can a marriage be decided hastily? said at the moment: "So that Uncle Ding can know that there are two concubines in the little nephew's family who have not yet been gifted, and they are the two maids and servants of my father-in-law Han Suizhi, and the matter of accepting concubines must be made clear to the parents, otherwise wouldn't it be unfilial?" Meng Qi really didn't dare to respond, and asked Uncle Ding to forgive him. ”

Ding Yuan didn't think it was angry at all, nodded and said: "The virtuous nephew is reasonable, heaven and earth value filial piety first, but the old man is anxious, I will send someone to Xiliang to propose marriage, and the old brother will also give me a face, today we just drink and don't mention this matter, and when the virtuous nephew rests for three days, he will set off with the old man to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven!" ”

Brother Xiao Ma frowned and said: "Uncle Ding doesn't know, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the little nephew have been divided into two routes, one way to unite the Hun cavalry to conquer Wuheng, and one road to prepare for war on the grassland, ready to unite with my father-in-law Han Sui's Xiliang Qiang soldiers to send troops to conquer Xianbei, as the commander of the two armies, if I am away for a long time, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unfavorable, so this matter should not be sooner rather than later!" ”

Ding Yuan was shocked when he heard this, stood up suddenly, ignored the different eyes of the officials under his command, looked at Xiao Ma and said, "Are you sure that this is not a joke?" ”

Ma Chao also stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Uncle said that he was laughing, how could a little nephew dare to laugh at such a big event?" In less than a month, my uncle will be able to hear from him. ”

Ding Yuan nodded and sighed: "The harm of Xianbei is still above the Southern Xiongnu and Wuheng, and in the past twenty years, the Son of Heaven has sent troops to attack Xianbei three times, but all of them have been defeated. If this move of the virtuous nephew is successful, with the merits of pacifying the three major grassland races in the north, it is enough to overwhelm the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, and the position of the champion Hou is none other than you! ”

Brother Xiao Ma said: "How dare the little nephew compare with Huo Quai, Wei Qing, Li Guang and other predecessors, at that time, the Huns unified the northern steppe in their heyday, and now the Southern Huns, Xianbei and Wuheng's combined forces may not be as good as the fifty percent of the Hun cavalry at that time. Besides, the little nephew is just opportunistic, and this dispatch of troops can only severely damage its vitality and greatly reduce its population, but it cannot completely eliminate it once and for all! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath of cold air, especially the bearded bone, who was deeply affected, and his expression was extremely complicated at this moment. It is impossible to say that he did not hate Xiao Ma Ge, because at least three or four hundred thousand people died under the butcher's knife of the Western Liang army in the Southern Xiongnu, not including the more than 100,000 strong men and women who were killed in battle. But he didn't dare to offend Brother Xiaoma, otherwise not only would he lose his position, but the Southern Xiongnu would also be completely chaotic, and I am afraid that he would disappear on the prairie in less than ten years.

Other Wenchen generals had different expressions, and in the past half a month, the Xiliang army's wanton burning and looting on the grassland has also been transmitted to the land of Bingzhou. Although it was very popular and won the praise and support of the local people, in the context of "governing the country with Confucianism" at that time, almost everyone in the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism and Taoism, and Confucianism emphasized moral influence and opposed the use of violence to counter violence. Therefore, Xiao Ma's unkind behavior was also criticized by Confucian scholars, and they all called him "horse butcher" and "northwest thug" behind his back.

It's just that he is famous and famous, not long ago in Xiliang there was a loyal act of marrying a ghost as a wife, coupled with the great praise of the world's famous man "Zhang Youdao", the scribes are not good to say that he is not, but they have a lot of arguments in their hearts.
