Chapter 82: Beat the Eunuchs
Despite the excitement of the battle, the days are getting shorter in late autumn, and before you know it, it is already dusk. Seeing that the two were still inseparable, Huangfu Song couldn't help frowning slightly, got up and said: "Your Majesty, this strong man is equal in strength to the champion Hou, and if he continues to fight, I am afraid that the two tigers will fight, and there will be an injured situation, not now that it will end in a draw!" It is difficult to be brave and brave, and the court should be called up to be reused! ”
Liu Hong was impatient and wanted to go back to enjoy the grace of the beauty, how could he be interested in blowing the autumn breeze here? He immediately nodded and said, "What General Huangfu said is reasonable, I am accurate!" Leave the matter of the expedition to Xiao Huangmen to deal with! ”
Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Emperor Ling would hand over the matter of conquering military generals to the eunuchs, and was about to speak out against it, but He Jin stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, my general's mansion is in urgent need of this kind of brave and powerful people to serve the country, and there are tiger generals like Dian Wei to join like a fish in water, and I hope that Your Majesty will put Dian Wei under the command of the old minister in order to defend the important land of the Beijing Division!" ”
Although Liu Hong didn't value Dian Wei very much, he didn't want to be cheap He Jin, and frowned: "The talents recruited by this hero conference should all join the Xiyuan Yulin Army, and the left and right Yulin Army and the Xiyuan Yulin Army are all serving the imperial court. After that, he said to Jian Shuo: "Pass on my edict, if this strong man is willing to join the Xiyuan Army, I will make him the Marquis of My Pavilion and lead the post of general!" ”
Jian Shuo was secretly happy in his heart, and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen will personally give the order!" With strong martial arts people such as heroes guarding the palace, Your Majesty should sit back and relax! ”
With the sound of a gong, the two stopped almost at the same time, only to hear Huangfu Song say loudly: "It's late, the two martial arts are difficult, both are heroes, Your Majesty loves as much as fate and is deeply afraid that the two will miss and be damaged, and the pro-judgment ends in a draw, it is really difficult for a strong man to draw the champion Hou, and the court will reward fifty gold and have another reuse"
In the face of the heavy reward, Dian Wei didn't seem to hear it, and laughed: "Happy! Joyfully! I have never had such a hearty battle since the art of becoming a man, the champion Hou Halberd is erratic, and the swordsmanship is as light as electricity, which is really a headache! ”
The battle between the two of them for nearly three lilies has long been sympathetic, Ma Chao was exhausted at the moment, and forced himself to support himself and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to praise me, if you fight to the death, you can take my surname if you fight for a slap in the face!" But I can't help you! In fact, I lost this contest! ”
Dian Wei suddenly said: "Champion Hou's words are wrong! You're only twelve years old, and your strength hasn't grown yet! My old canon is already twenty-four out, just in the prime of life, I'm afraid I can't beat you in a few years. ”
Ma Chao nodded and said: "It's not a shame to lose to you now, there are no more than a few people who can beat you alone in this world, but I don't know why you prefer to use an iron rod, is there any reason?" ”
Dian Wei scratched his head and said: "This iron rod is not mortal iron, but iron!" I poured all my money to get **ten catties, because I didn't find a good blacksmith, I could only make it into a stick first! ”
Ma Chao suddenly realized that iron is the best steel, and the weapons made of iron are all divine weapons, but iron is not something that ordinary blacksmiths can control, and it is not difficult to make ordinary sticks, and he thought about it: "This matter is easy to do, I have a special military battalion under my command, and there are many skilled blacksmiths, who will definitely be able to help you create a magic weapon at your disposal!" ”
Dian Wei was overjoyed, and during the conversation between the two, from the officials of the Son of Heaven to the ordinary people who watched the excitement, they all withdrew. A majestic, majestic-looking little yellow door walked straight towards the two with a few retinues.
Ma Chao knew that Liu Hong's favorite little yellow door Jian Shuo, in history, this little yellow door later became the captain of the eighth lieutenant in the West Garden, and his power was unrivaled for a while, and even He Jin nominally had to listen to his orders! Later, he conspired with Liu Hong, who was dying, to trick He into the palace to kill him, but unfortunately he didn't know that Sima Panyin under his command was He Jin's old friend, which led to a fall short and was killed by He Jin!
Jian Shuo came to the front and saluted slightly, and said with a smile: "Champion Hou said that he won three victories and one draw, and he will be the best hero in the world without defeat, which is really admirable!" High-ranking officials are waiting for their positions! If you soar in the future, you will have to take care of Hou Ye! ”
Ma Chao knew that he was Liu Hong's confidant, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say!" Say! Super high position and perennial foreign war, it is inevitable to be jealous and even slandered! I also want to ask my relatives to say a lot of good things in front of the Son of Heaven. ”
Jian Shuo saw that Ma Chao was so polite to him a little yellow door, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and hugged his fists and said: "Don't hide the champion Hou, I am here to join the Xiyuan Yulin Army by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and Your Majesty will make him the Marquis of My Pavilion and lead the post of general!" And a reward of fifty gold! After that, an attendant behind him had already brought out a wooden plate, and when he opened the cover, ten horseshoe gold were neatly placed.
In the Han Dynasty, a catty was about 223 grams, and fifty catties of gold sounded like a lot, but in fact it was not as big as a brick. These horseshoe gold were all paid by Ma Chao to Emperor Ling, and a piece of horseshoe gold is ten catties!
Dian Wei didn't look at these glittering gold, and said loudly: "Although I Dian Wei is a big boss, I don't want to be with you eunuchs!" I don't want this gold, my people are already poor, and I don't dare to be the Marquis of Jiwu Pavilion, I would rather be a pawn under the command of the champion Hou, and I will never be a watchdog for the faint monarch eunuch! ”
Jian Shuo was furious and screamed: "Good man, you are so ignorant, insulting the Son of Heaven is equivalent to rebellion, it is a great crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan, are you really not afraid of death?" ”
Dian Wei's face was full of disdain, and he shouted: "The head of the old pawn is here, if you have the ability, you will come to get it!" ”
Jian Shuo was furious, he was strong and powerful, and he was really not the material for being a eunuch. However, his family was poor since he was a child, his parents died early, and he was forcibly castrated by his uncle who was sold into the palace by his uncle as soon as he was sensible. Although he was favored by Emperor Ling when he became an adult, he hated his uncle Jian Tu, so Jian Tu was beaten to death by Cao Ying for violating the curfew, and he did not come out, and he hated others the most in his life and scolded him as a eunuch.
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! Someone's coming! Don't take this horseman down and ask for the guilt! "Dozens of followers behind him are going to take people when they hear the words!
"Slow down!" Ma Chao hurriedly stopped, and persuaded with good words: "The strong man is a rough man, his surname is upright, he really doesn't mean to offend His Majesty and Jian Qin's servant, since he doesn't know how to lift, forget it, Ben will be strictly disciplined in the future, how about letting him go on Ben Hou's face?" Right when this didn't happen! Please drink this gold, and I will give you another gift later! ”
"No way!" Jian Shuo said categorically: "This is Luoyang, it's Jingshi, not you Xiliang!" Dian Wei was disrespectful, he didn't recruit from the imperial court, and he dared to insult the Son of Heaven, and now I will behead him to show the public to correct the law! ”
Ma Chao suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, and his face was gloomy: "In this way, Jian Qin's servant is going to fight against Ben Hou today?" ”
Jian Shuo held Liu Hong's favor and trust, and was not afraid of Ma Chao at all, and sneered: "I am just a small yellow door, how can I have the ability to go against the champion Hou who is in the limelight?" But this person has the courage to insult the Son of Heaven, and he does not put me, the messenger of the Son of Heaven, in his eyes, all kinds of acts are no different from rebellion, and the champion Hou tries his best to protect this person, but he also has a heart of disobedience! ”
Ma Chao was furious, and laughed: "Someone! ”
"Mo will be!" Meng Da, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and Chen Zhisi have already come up, and even Huang Zhong, who has been watching the excitement, has also come closer!
Jian Shuo was startled, and said in a trembling voice with a little fear: "What do you want to do, do you really want to rebel!" ”
Ma Chao sneered: "The duke of the Ma family for generations, since the ancestor Ma Yuan, he has served the Han Dynasty for more than 200 years, whether he rebelled or not is something that your little eunuch can assess?" After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "Jian Shuo and others rely on the favor of the Son of Heaven, do not respect etiquette, have no royal law, and repeatedly scold Ben Hou and Ben Hou's generals Dian Wei, and take them down as soon as possible, and beat fifty military sticks to set an example!" If there is a resistant, no matter how much they are killed, all the consequences will be borne by themselves! ”
"Obey!" The four of them shouted in unison, all of them excited, they didn't expect Ma Chao to be so righteous, for a person who had not officially joined, he beat the messenger of the Son of Heaven at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and blatantly reversed right and wrong, not to mention anything else, this courage alone is absolutely beyond the reach of people!
The four generals and dozens of Shenwei battalion soldiers quickly grabbed Jian Shuo and his party of more than a dozen people like hungry tigers and sheep, including Jian Shuo, who was known for his strength, no one dared to resist!
Jian Shuo hissed: "Ma Mengqi, you dare to be rude to me, do you know my identity, even He Jin also respects me, can you bear the consequences if you treat me like this?" ”
Ma Chao laughed and said, "What are you?" But a small yellow door, a eunuch, if it weren't for His Majesty's favor and trust in you, and you wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk to Ben Hou, how could Ben Hou be compared to that waste? Even if I beat you to death in public today, Your Majesty will not condemn me! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will follow Cao Yilang's stick and try to beat you to death! After that, he turned around and shouted: "Beat me, fifty military sticks per person, the heavier the better!" ”
All the sergeants are the Xiliang soldiers under Ma Chao, the most brutal, but where will they be polite after the order, they immediately pick up the stick and crack it is a violent beating, regardless of whether you are a head or an ass.
Dian Wei was stunned for a long time, his eyes were slightly red at this moment, his expression was excited, and he stepped forward and said: "Lord, this eunuch let me do it myself, I will definitely make him unable to get out of bed for the rest of his life!" ”
Ma Chao was overjoyed, after this incident, Dian Wei was the most loyal thug under his command, and he would not rebel until he died, what if he offended a eunuch for the sake of a fierce general? Even offending the Spirit Emperor is worth it. But Jian Shuo can't die, it's still useful to keep it, otherwise the historical trend will be changed by himself and the gains outweigh the losses, and he said at the moment: "This person is not guilty to death, first leave him a dog's life, don't you dirty our hands when you beat these eunuchs!" ”
After that, he commanded: "Meng Da and work hard, these eunuchs are buried in a place after the fight, and those who are not dead are dragged back to the barracks to be strictly guarded, and it is not a big deal, I will explain to Your Majesty in person early in the morning, and the others will go to drink with me!" ”
