Chapter Seventy-Five: Cao Yuan's Exit
Ma Chao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he had been ill for more than 20 years in his previous life, and he had studied medical skills quite a lot, so he could be said to have been a doctor for a long time. In order to cure his congenital heart disease, he had a superior economy and enough time, and he held the "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Puji Ben Fang", "Qianjin Bao Yao", "Bian Que Shenying Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jade Dragon Sutra", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" and other ancient books for several years, studied medical theory, specialized in prescriptions, although he failed to cure his own disease, but he almost never forgot but really memorized a lot of ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions.
But no matter how good the medical skills are, it is impossible to make a diagnosis just by listening to others, so he thought about it and said: "Don't worry, the old hero, the art of Huang is beyond the slightest Tongqi Huang, Brother Huang's disease should be a chronic disease, and it needs long-term recuperation to be cured, I have a set of health preservation methods that are quite effective!" It's better for Han Sheng to leave two days first, and then I will teach this set of methods to you first, and then transfer it to Brother Huang, I believe that it will greatly improve the condition, and when I see Brother Huang later, Chao will try his best to heal him! ”
Huang Zhong couldn't help but be a little skeptical when he heard this, and couldn't understand how Ma Chao could have so many things at such a young age. It is important to know that there is an infinite amount of manpower, and a person often spends a lifetime studying a subject without necessarily being proficient. Ma Chao is only twelve years old, not only strong in martial arts, good at leading soldiers to fight, but also good at calligraphy, export chapters, and now he knows the art of Qihuang, is it the reincarnation of a saint?
Of course, Ma Chao understood Huang Zhong's suspicions, and said with a wry smile: "Han Sheng doesn't have to be suspicious, I already have eyebrows in my heart about Brother Huang's illness, but I don't dare to easily conclude at the moment, my set of health preservation methods can adjust the mechanism and alleviate the symptoms, although it may not be cured, but it is worry-free to keep my surname and be an ordinary person for a lifetime" Then Ma Chao carefully explained his illness in his previous life.
Huang Zhong was shocked: "The general is really a god!" That's exactly what dogs do! ”
"Sure enough!" Brother Xiao Ma shook his head secretly in his heart, and now he can conclude that Huang Xu's illness is the congenital heart disease of the later generations. In the 21st century, this disease is still a global problem, and there are many types, some of which can be easily cured, while others are incurable for life. He couldn't find out what kind of Huang Xu was, he really didn't know what kind of Huang Xu was, and he could only take one step at a time.
After this incident, Huang Zhong was convinced that Ma Chao understood the art of Qi Huang, and he was not in a hurry to go home. Ma Chao arranged for Meng Da to entertain him, and he rushed to the school field alone.
This delay was just two quarters of an hour, and Xiahou Yuan had already calmed down, but his arms were sore, and weakness in his body was inevitable, and a military general of Huang Zhong's level was not easy to stop, even if he was weak after the war.
Facing the fierce champion Hou Ma Chao, Xiahou Yuan secretly complained in his heart, at this time he could only exert seventy percent of his strength, and the more he fought, the more tired he became, and then he thought of Huang Zhong just now, he secretly admired it in his heart, seventy percent of his strength can still completely suppress himself, how terrifying will Huang Zhong be in a complete state?
Ma Chao has always admired this Xiahou Yuan, and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Xiahou of Peiguo has heard of it for a long time, and now it is a blessing to have three lives to see it, and Xiliang Ma Mengqi is polite here!" ”
Xiahou Yuan also replied: "Champion Hou is polite, a rough person, a cheap name is not enough to worry about!" I need to forgive me for offending this time! ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ma Chao said: "The strength of the strong man who has just experienced the big war must not be recovered, and if he wins, he will not be martial, so how about fighting again tomorrow morning?" ”
Xiahou Yuan was quite moved in his heart, and pondered for a while: "Thank you for the kindness of the champion Hou, this matter is unreasonable, Yuan also picked up a cheap party to win by luck, and now he is really ashamed of Huang Zhuangshi, it is really a victory without martial arts, what is it, how can it be any more?" ”
Ma Chaoda praised: "What a Peiguo Xiahou Yuan, he is really a hero!" So it's a big fight! Be careful! "After that, as soon as he urged the thunder, one person and one horse took the lead in rushing out, and the heavenly dragon broke the city and took Xiahou Yuan's chest and abdomen!
The latter did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged the horse to parry, and used a long knife to block the halberd. When the two weapons collided, Xiao Ma's confidence increased greatly, because he could defeat Xiahou Yuan with his strength and the advantages of the weapon alone, and he was fighting with him with a long halberd at the moment.
Xiahou Yuan was secretly frightened, he didn't expect Ma Chao to be so powerful, he knew that it was difficult to win, so he gave up the attack and completely took the defensive. It's a pity that his opponent is not Huang Zhong, who defeated Wen Chou, but Ma Chao, who is like a dragon and a tiger. Every time the one hundred and twenty-nine pounds of halberd was smashed, it was difficult for him to parry, only to feel that his palms were numb, his arms were sore, his chest was stuffy, and the tiger's mouth had already been broken.
Seeing that Xiahou Yuan was holding on and not attacking, Ma Chao used more and more strength to attack, giving full play to the advantage of heavy weapons. In less than twenty years, Xiahou Yuan, who had just finished the battle, couldn't hold on, and the long knife in his hand was smashed away immediately, and even people almost fell off the horse, so they could only admit defeat.
The audience cheered and dispersed for a long time. Emperor Ling was also very happy, and announced a banquet in the West Garden to celebrate Ma Chao's achievements, and invited Cao Ying and Yuan Shao at the same time.
Yuan Shao has already raised filial piety, but he doesn't want to be an official, Emperor Ling has recruited several times without success, and now he has his uncle Yuan Kui, the prince of the dynasty, personally recommended, Emperor Ling was overjoyed, and he was named the captain of the school on the spot, and Cao Ying, like Cao Ying, became a court official.
Cao Ying is the councilor, this official rank is more than 2,000 stones, which is equivalent to a member of the think tank, responsible for participating in the government affairs, giving advice, and at the same time having the courage to point out the wrong decisions of the Son of Heaven. Yuan Shao's Sili Lieutenant is equivalent to a state thorn history, responsible for supervising the Taishou of the counties in the Sili area, with two thousand stones in the rank.
In the Han Dynasty, in addition to the general and Taifu rank ten thousand stones, there were many high-ranking officials who were rank two thousand stones, commonly known as two thousand stone officials, divided into three levels: three dukes and nine qing or state thorn history of this level of officials for the rank of two thousand stones, monthly money nine thousand, rice seventy-two hu; The county magistrate and some generals and subordinate officials are (true) two thousand stones, six thousand five hundred per month, and thirty-six hundred; At the end of the day is a court official like Yilang, who is not big or small, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, a monthly money of 5,000 yuan, and 34 meters. In addition, there are local officials with a rank of 300 stone to a rank of 1,200 stone. Ma Chao is the general of the expedition to the north, and his position is higher than Jiuqing, and he has two thousand stones in the rank.
Emperor Ling connived at the ten permanent servants of the fish and flesh of the people, sold officials and granted knighthoods, and the money obtained was not only for his own pleasure, but also to support these officials of the imperial court, and he had to pay monthly salaries on time every month, so it was not easy to be a faint king.
After the dinner, all the officials returned to the city one after another, and Xiao Ma, a popular man, naturally received many invitations, but he was in a hurry to go back to appease Le Jin and Huang Zhong, and politely refused.
After returning to the temporary general's mansion in the city, Ma Chao set up another small banquet, and there were only four people present: Le Jin, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and Meng Da.
Meng Da had a busy day, this time he selected fifty clever and articulate men from among the 1,000 soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion to form a recruitment team, he himself lobbied those who were defeated, and the others were scattered around the registration offices on both sides to dig people, and anyone who could draw the four-stone bow was the target of their recruitment.
At the end of the day, nearly 300 people were recruited, including nearly 50 who lost the competition, and the others also passed the registration, but they were self-aware and did not play in shame. It can be said that the three hundred people are all young and strong men, and some of them have martial arts, and they can definitely be used as ten on the battlefield.
Ma Chao is overjoyed, this team is equivalent to the special forces of later generations, if used properly, it can often have a surprising effect, and even reverse the outcome of a battle. Regarding Lejin, Xiao Ma Ge was not ready to let him lead the cavalry of the Shenwei Battalion, because Zhang Liao was more suitable to lead the cavalry than him. Besides, he plans to subdue the Black Mountain thieves to establish an infantry army, although the cavalry is brave, but the cost is huge, not ordinary people can support it, and the siege cavalry is not useful, Lejin can just train the infantry army.
As for Zhang Liao, Ma Chao is ready to go back and immediately set out to establish a heavy armored cavalry, he has Xiliang, the Southern Huns as a base, the most worrying thing is a good horse, and after several looting, at this moment there are countless materials such as fine iron in hand, if you don't establish a heavy armored cavalry that can destroy everything, it is really a tyrannical thing.
After Ma Chao said his plan, he was immediately highly approved by several people, and Le Jin was even more excited, because the two had known each other for less than a day, Ma Chao promised to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, which shows how much trust he has?
Huang Zhong on the side also felt his blood boiling in his ears, but it was really difficult for him to make a decision when he was worried about his beloved son. Brother Xiao Ma didn't say anything, and after the banquet, he passed on the health preservation exercises he had obtained in his previous life to Huang Zhong in public. This exercise is a combination of the five poultry opera and Tai Chi boxing's internal exercises, and there is an obscure mantra, Ma Chao did not hide his selfishness, explained to a few people on the spot, and carefully said its efficacy, but Meng Da, Le Jin, Zhang Liao three people benefited a lot.
In ancient times, curfews were implemented, and Luoyang City was even more so, not only the city gate was closed at night, but even the people in the city went out It was illegal. Dusk has passed, it is said that the west mountain is falling, and the east gate of Luoyang City is about to close, when suddenly three fast horses gallop over.
The leader is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a white face and short beard, big ears, and long arms, obviously similar to ordinary people, two people behind him, one with a red face and long hair, one with a black face and a beard, the red-faced body is nine feet long, and the black-faced one is more than eight feet, one carries a long knife, and the other holds a snake spear, all of them are burly people, these three people are the three brothers of Liu Guanzhang who came from Zhongshan in a hurry.
Liu Bei, the word Xuande, born in 161, is now only 27 years old, a descendant of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan in Hanzhong, his father died early, his family was poor, and his mother relied on selling straw shoes and weaving straw mats, and life was very hard. In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the 23-year-old Liu Bei was named the county lieutenant of Anxi County for leading the righteous army to suppress the Yellow Turban thieves. After Liu Bei learned the news, he went to the post station where the post supervisor stayed to ask for a meeting, and the post supervisor said that he refused to see Liu Bei, Liu Bei hated it, tied up the post supervisor and whipped two hundred, and fled with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to abandon the official. As for Zhang Fei's whipping of the postal superintendent, it was purely Luo Guanzhong's transfer of flowers and trees.
It happened that the general He Jin sent Biqiu Yi to Danyang to recruit troops, and Liu Bei's three brothers also joined on the way. Later, he served as Gao Tang Wei and Gao Tang Ling. Soon Gaotang County was broken by thieves, and Liu Bei defected to the Fenwu general Gongsun Zhan, and was listed as Sima of other departments for his repeated military exploits during the conquest of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.
Because Ma Chao and the Southern Xiongnu copied Wuheng's back road, the Zhongshan War was nearing the end at this moment. The three of them heard that Luoyang was a hero, and they felt that this was a good opportunity to get ahead, so they temporarily resigned from Gongsun Zan and hurried overnight.
Zhongshan to Luoyang to go north and south through the entire Jizhou, passing through Hanoi County, Tiger Prison Pass, the three of them did not stop all night but were also a day late.
