Chapter 61: Shocking the Four

"Talent? Good question, good question! The general's words were shocking, but he was overrated, and his achievements were far from being 'unparalleled in the world'. Ma Chaoqian said: "So super will write an essay in the meaning of what the general just said, and I hope that you will not hesitate to give advice!" After saying that, he straightened his body, carried his strength in his arm, and worked hard to write like flying, and in a moment a seven-word quatrain that had not yet appeared at that time came out of the pen.

"Kyushu is angry and thunderous,

It's sad to hear from all the horses.

I advise the Lord of Heaven to shake up,

Eclectic talent reduction. ”

Cao Ying read it lightly, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he said: "Okay, good article!" Its text is magnificent, the meaning is far-reaching, if the Han wants to revitalize, when the tumor is cleared, in addition to the eunuchs, with loyalty, recruit talents, this is the way to prosperity! Its book is like flowing water, twenty-eight characters in one go, shaped like a dragon and a phoenix, an antelope hanging horns, a god like a sea and a mountain, a storm and waves, it is really a shocking work! ”

Ma Chao shook his head slightly and said: "The article is natural, and the magic hand can get it." If it is flawless, how can it be artificial? I heard that Cao Gong is also a famous calligrapher in the world, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will not hesitate to give advice! ”

"The article is natural, and the magic hand is even good" Cao Ying muttered again, and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, I am not an official for the time being, but I have been living in the Taiwei Mansion in Luoyang City, waiting for General Ma at any time!" ”

After everyone circulated it, they were full of praise for Brother Xiaoma, and Cao Ying even asked Ma Chao for Mobao on the spot, Ma Yueyan, Lu Zhi, Yang Biao and other Confucians were also very moved. The calligraphy of the world is dominated by Lishu and Cai Yong's flying white style, these two kinds of calligraphy situation is rigid, rigorous, writing speed is very slow, and the writing is far less casual, beautiful and convenient than the calligraphy, so the three even once had the idea of popularizing this font.

He Jin was overjoyed and praised: "The little general Wen Chengwu is really a genius of the world!" Coupled with the immortal feats made this time, the Son of Heaven will definitely have a great reward, which is really gratifying! ”

"Don't dare!" Ma Chao's heart moved, and then said: "Chao and Ding Tingshi were harassed by Montenegrin thieves on the way to Beijing, but fortunately, the soldiers under their command worked hard to protect each other and were able to get along, but I don't know how the general plans to deal with these Montenegrin thieves?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly quieted down, and He Jin frowned and said: "The Black Mountain Thieves took advantage of the Yellow Turban Thieves to rise up, and after annexing some of the Yellow Turban remnants, their momentum became even stronger, and they were known as millions of people. In the past few years, he has been active on both sides of the Taihang Mountains, often attacking Hebei and the counties of the two states, plundering the local people, and causing great harm. The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but it could only suppress its arrogance, and it could never be completely extinguished. Recently, Zhang Yan and others have made even more inch, and the development of power to Hanoi County has threatened Luoyang Kyoto, and I am thinking that the Son of Heaven will send Zhonglang to go to Hanoi to recruit troops to suppress it. ”

Ma Chao nodded secretly, if the original historical trajectory develops, Zhu Jun will soon be named the Hanoi Taishou to suppress Zhang Yan and other black mountain thieves. Although Zhu Jun failed to exterminate Zhang Yan and others, he also drove the Black Mountain thieves back to Taihang Mountain, and after his meritorious service, he was named Guanglu Doctor and the general of the town thief. At the moment, he hugged his fists and said: "Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife?" The black mountain thieves are just a group of rabble, how to work when the world's famous general General Zhu went in person, and the young general is willing to take his soldiers to beg for thieves, not a year, super guaranteed Ji, and there are no more black mountain thieves in the two places! ”

He Jin was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "General Youma is naturally relieved to go to pacify the old man of the Black Mountain thieves, but I heard that most of the soldiers under your command are fighting against Wuheng and Xianbei, and the imperial court is not strong enough and the treasury is empty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to mobilize too many men and materials for you."

Ma Chao said confidently: "This young general naturally knows, I don't need a soldier of the imperial court, nor do I need a string of five baht coins from the imperial court, as long as the Son of Heaven and the general can give the young general a name, I have my own clever plan to bring thousands of soldiers and horses under my command to pacify and subdue the Black Mountain thieves and the remnants of the Yellow Turban within the two states!" ”

"That's true!" He Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and other important ministers of the court also pricked up their ears.

Ma Chao said: "There is no joke in the army, how dare you speak wildly if you are not sure?" ”

He Jin nodded, and was about to speak, but Ding Yuan on the side interjected: "General, listen to me!" If the so-called name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done. General Ma was born in a famous family, his people are quite strategic and very good at using soldiers, once for the Han Dynasty has made immortal achievements, the champion Hou is just like this, originally thought that the above table should be General Ma to ask the hussar general position, temporarily supervise and Hebei, the military of the two states, if you come, you can accumulate the power of the two states to subdue and exterminate the Black Mountain thieves in one fell swoop. ”

He Jin's face changed when he heard this, and he glanced at Ding Yuan with deep meaning in his eyes but didn't say a word. The military attachΓ©s of the Eastern Han Dynasty were the highest in the big hussar guards and the four expeditions. Hussar generals began in the Western Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the second largest military attache in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his position is higher than the three dukes, the rank of ten thousand stones, can recruit troops on their own, can open their own government and place subordinate officials, and has great power. And this position is not set up in ordinary times, only when there is turmoil, foreign invasion or rebellion, it is temporarily set up, and the champion Hou Huo has served in this position since his illness!

The others were also embarrassed when they heard this, and they talked about it, and they thought to themselves, is this Ding Yuan crazy, isn't it unusual for the hussar general? Although Ma Mengqi has military exploits, he is far from reaching the level of being an official hussar general!

Ma Chao was quite disdainful in his heart, and said secretly: What about the hussar general? The master doesn't want a penny from the court, let alone a soldier, can't dozens of boxes of jewelry and great military exploits be exchanged for a false name? Ma Chao has served as the hussar general of Shu in history, Lao Tzu must surpass him, and he must be a hussar general of a big man!

Thinking of this, he hugged his fists and saluted: "Ding Thorn Shi is serious, super a martial artist and young and shallow, he is only willing to swear to follow the general, and he has no regrets for a pawn before the horse, as for the official position, it all depends on the meaning of the Son of Heaven and the general, that is, no official can not change the loyalty to the general and the heart of the fist to serve the Han Dynasty!" ”

He Jin's face was even more complicated when he heard this, Ma Chao's words were undoubtedly an oath of allegiance to him, but there was also a hint of threat in them. Since you He Jin have received a heavy gift, you have to do things for the master, otherwise Lao Tzu will serve the Han Dynasty in the future, not for you He Jin! Where to go is up to you.

Yuan Shu was afraid that He Jin would agree, so he hurriedly persuaded: "The general must not!" Ma Mengqi is not a martial artist in Fanbang, how can he lead the position of hussar general? The world's famous general, General Huangfu, General Zhu has not yet reached this position, if a hussar general who is not as young as a weak crown is led by a hussar general, will it not chill the hearts of hundreds of civil and military officials? ”

"The difference between the highway and the road!" Huangfu Song, who was nearly sixty years old, interjected: "The position of the hussar general is the most important merit, although the old man has the merit of pacifying the Yellow Turban and the merit of killing the kingdom, but the two merits together are far more than the merit of Ma Mengqi to pacify the northern Hulu, after this battle, it is difficult for the northern alien race to recover within a hundred years, and it may not be able to collapse from then on!" Its merits are even more than that of the champion Hou of the year. In addition, General Ma led the hussar general in order to pacify the Black Mountain bandits, and his troops were all based on the income of his own soldiers and recruitment, and he did not need a single soldier and financial support from the imperial court. ”

Zhu Jun also nodded and said: "The old man also agrees with Ding Tingshi's words, Ma Mengqi is loyal to the country, and his heart is commendable, if he is not crowned with a high position, his prestige is not enough to convince the people of the two states!" ”

Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Even so, you can't give the hussar general the heavy position to a local army, don't drive Sima?" Could it be that there is no one in the imperial court? ”

Ma Yueyan retorted: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han thief army has risen in all directions, and the imperial court has used troops for many years to quell the rebellion, which has already caused the treasury to be empty and the central military strength is insufficient, otherwise how can it be quelled by the Black Mountain thieves?" General Ma does not hope to be rewarded for his merits, but is willing to lead the Xiliang local army to calm the merger and the chaos between the two places, and the heart of loyalty to the country can be seen, I don't know why the highway is obstructed in every way? ”

Yuan Shu's face sank, and he said sarcastically: "Ma Yueyan, don't you just want to ask for credit for your nephew?" Speaking from my heart, I have only had a seventeen-year-old champion Hou, but I have never had a twelve-year-old hussar general! ”

He Jin was still hesitant when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Lu Shangshu think?" ”

Lu Zhi was over fifty years old at this time, with a long gray beard, although he was imprisoned in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it did not affect his reputation at all, and He Jin was even more respectful to him. Hearing this, he frowned and said: "The highway is not unreasonable, since Gaozu, my Han has never had a similar case of being promoted from a local Sima to a hussar general in one fell swoop, such as rashly making an exception not only damages the majesty of the imperial court, but also makes General Ma criticized, it is difficult to convince people, and please think twice!" ”

He Jin nodded and said, "The old man has his own plans in his heart, and there is no need to discuss it, just wait for the Son of Heaven to decide!" After that, he said to Ma Chao: "General Ma and stay in Luoyang for a few days, after three days, the old man personally introduced you to the Son of Heaven, as for the reward of the Son of Heaven, it all depends on your creation, the old man can only recommend the title of champion marquis for you, and the position of the hussar general is only slightly lower than the old man, I really dare not discuss it!" ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed, and Shi Li said: "Thank you for the promotion of the general, Chao does not dare to have half a point of overstepping, that is, he is still not driving Sima, and Chao will also work hard to pacify the Black Mountain thieves, and I am willing to return with my meager strength, and the people of the two states will be a Lang Lang Qiankun!" Return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world with clear turbidity! No regrets even if you die! ”

In fact, Ma Chao didn't want to ascend to the sky and win the position of hussar general in one step, because the difficulty was too great, so big that it was almost impossible! It's not even realistic! Even if you succeed, you will become the target of everyone's attention, and if you attract the attention of too many people, it will not be beautiful, after all, Emperor Han Ling will have to die for nearly two years! The Han Dynasty fell but did not fall, if the ambition was discovered in advance, it was very likely to be attacked by the crowd like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu in the later generations! He was not arrogant enough to fight against the princes of the whole world on his own.

The so-called those who seek the top get it, and those who seek it get the bottom, and the most ideal official position in Xiao Ma's heart is General Wei, who is second to the general of the chariot cavalry. General Wei's position is sometimes lower than that of the third duke, and sometimes slightly lower than that of the third duke, but these are not important, the important thing is that General Wei can open a government and establish a subordinate official.

In this way, those who take refuge in him can have official positions to seal, and they are all official positions recognized by the Han Dynasty, which makes it easier to recruit talents. You must know that no matter what you do in this era, you must pay attention to the right word, otherwise why will Cao Ying coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes in the future? Relying on the Han family that exists in name only, with this name, everything is famous, and the name is justified!
