~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The crowd is surging, the crowd is crowded, and tens of thousands of people are waiting to meet each other. or burn incense and pray, or fall on the ground and weep thanks, or shout their trumpets, or run to offer food. If it weren't for Mi Fang leading his troops to open the way in front and shield the left and right, from the east gate to the governor's mansion in just a few hundred steps, I am afraid that he would not be able to reach dusk.
The people of Xuzhou are so supportive, their popularity is so explosive, and their fan value is so high, which Ma Han did not expect in advance. For this siege of Xuzhou, he only did one thing before and after - shooting Cao Ren with an arrow. And now, he is greeted like a savior hero. Well, I'm ashamed.
Zhao Yun on his side also felt that this was what a British master should do! It seems that the decision to throw himself into White Wolf City in the first place does not seem to be bad.
When have the hundreds of white wolf horsemen who accompanied them ever seen such a scene? One by one, they were so excited that their faces were full of red light, their chests were shy, and they were honored.
Mi Fang, the envoy and captain of the Xuzhou Infantry Military Academy, wiped his sweat vigorously on a cold day, and his beard was wet, and he was steam in the sauna by hot flashes.
The left and right doormen looked at the countless waving arms on the left and right, pressed the shocked head, and said loudly in his ear: "Second son, this person's reputation is so great, fortunately it is not the guest army of Xuzhou......"
Mi Fang's lips pursed into a line, and she snorted coldly in her heart: "What good is it for the head of Qian?" Can these people give him money, food, soldiers, and armor? Since you like fame so much, let's go back to Liaoxi with fame. β
When Ma Han and his entourage, under the guidance of Mi Fang, came to the square of the state pastor's mansion, it was already crowded with people, cars and horses. However, unlike before, the people, cars, and horses here. They are all the heroes of the party and their entourage who rushed to help Xuzhou.
Before Ma Han could recover from the heat of the disturbance, there were three people in the shape of a zigzag not far away. The first person arched his hands high, and he was happy in his heart: "Shocking dragon!" Zilong! I can't imagine that after a lifetime, we can meet here, and I am really happy! β
Well, Liu Bei, the joy on his face is really sincere. Whether it is Ma Han or Zhao Yun, they are all Junjie whom he admires very much, and he even wanted to collect it under his account for a while. Until now. He was still reluctant to give up on Zhao Yun, feeling that this was an opportunity, and if it was possible, it was best to pull him over.
Behind Liu Bei, of course, are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. These two people know each other well, and they cherish each other, and they are happy to meet again.
Ma Han had seen the battles between Guan and Zhang and Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and was deeply impressed by these two top warriors of the Three Kingdoms. However, neither Guan nor Zhang had ever seen Ma Han. Although he knew that he was extremely young, he was surprised to see that he was a hairless kid at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of contempt in his heart.
Ma Han was greeting Guan and Zhang. also keenly felt this contempt, and before he could figure out how to eliminate this contempt, Liu Bei soon held him and Zhao Yun affectionately. Introduce them to the heroes one by one. At this time, Ma Han felt a contempt that was stronger than Guan and Zhang.
Tian Kai is Gongsun Zhan's confidant general and loyal. He was extremely dissatisfied with Ma Han, who escaped in the Battle of Jieqiao, he was not a strategist with a city government like Guan Jing, and he was not like Gongsun Xu's son-in-law. Grievances against the defectors are written directly on their faces.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan, don't look at the name of "Taishan Kou", but these two people, one was born as a small official, and the other is also a local hero, although they are also a scum in the eyes of celebrities, but they think that they are a few points better than Ma Han, a mountain horseman. In addition, the treatment of hot and cold at the north gate made them even more unhappy, where would they have a good face.
When Tao Qian led the crowd, this feeling was even stronger.
As soon as Tao Qian came up, he said a few words, and then intentionally or unintentionally asked if Ma Han had anything to do with Fufeng Ma or Handan Ma. Handan Ma is the origin of the Ma surname, and Fufeng Ma is a branch of Handan Ma, at this time has become the most prosperous family of the Han Ma surname, and Ma Han's "hometown" Julu, only hundreds of miles away from Handan, it is easy to make people associate with this aspect.
Ma Han really wanted to pretend to be the Handan Ma family, but the problem was that the family in this era has a genealogy, and not just any guy with the same surname can pretend to be one. But he also didn't want to admit that he was born in the countryside, and in the era of the Two Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms, which was very particular about his background, this was tantamount to a self-defeating career. Therefore, he was vague, only saying that his ancestral home was indeed in Handan, but his father did not explicitly say whether it was from the Ma clan.
Ma Hum is playing the edge ball, ambiguous, very elastic, ready to pick up the gaps. As for how much he can pick up and what kind of Cheng dΓΉ he can make up, it depends on how high his status can be in the future and how much strength he can accumulate. With his current strength, maybe the Handan Ma clan will not pay attention to him, but if one day in the future, he ascends to a high position that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, there will naturally be a hot face of the clan that you can't kick.
But who is Tao Qian? Contemporary celebrities, how can Ma Han's specious answer satisfy him? Therefore, every time I heard Ma Han's answer, my eyes became cold, and when I heard the end, my expression faded. just politely thanked Ma Han, and then motioned to the second son Tao Ying to step forward to deal with it, and turned to Liu Bei.
Most of the rest of the officials also routinely folded their sleeves to thank them, and then they competed to talk to Liu Bei - Ma Han's reputation is good among the common people, but in the eyes of scholars, it is not as good as a good background.
In fact, in terms of reputation, Lu Bu, who killed Dong Zhuo, the public enemy of the Han Dynasty, has a reputation far above Ma Hu, and his background is similar to Ma Hu, look at what this person looks like now, there is not a single advisor around him.
At this time, a young scholar who was only in his twenties did not revolve around Liu Bei, but took the initiative to talk to Ma Han and ask in detail how Ma Han captured Zhang Min and saved Suiling.
Ma Han saw that this person looked strange and was the same age, but he didn't think he was angry, and he didn't hide it, and came one by one.
After listening to the original version of the incident, the young man couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed: "It turns out that the so-called beauty saves the hero, but it is the hero who saves the beauty, interesting!" Interesting! β
Ma Hansheng smiled and said: "This brother, if you said that you wanted to listen to this part, I will directly take out this part, add oil and vinegar to interpret it for you, and enjoy you." β
The young man's smile froze, his eyes widened, and he laughed again: "Interesting! Interesting! You're a funny person. β
Ma Han said lightly: "If you ask Cao Ren." He would never think so. β
The young man's smile faded, his face was solemn, he dusted his sleeves and lowered his head to the ground: "Xiapi Chen Deng, Zi Yuanlong, on behalf of the Li people who survived the disaster under Pi, thank Ma Duwei." Liaodong Tianju's righteous deeds, the good name of the Buddha of ten thousand families, will be spread to the world. β
Chen Deng? It turned out that he was Chen Deng!
Chen Deng's generous words, especially the solemn gift. The Xuzhou officials who were talking loudly at the scene were shocked. You must know that this Chen Deng has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he never allows people, and there are only a few people in the entire Xuzhou who can get his courtesy - even Mi Zhu and Cao Bao, these two powerful figures in military and political affairs, are rare to have their blue eyes.
A great gift from Chen Deng. It's a bit of a slap in the face.
With Liu Bei, a person who "knows the roots" he met on the first day of his arrival in the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't hide the details of Ma Han's background at all. Previously, the civil and military officials of Xuzhou were extremely disdainful of a small family from a poor family and the middle of the army, and even looked at it better than Wu Dun (Xuzhou Langya National Army Sima. Taishan Kou was born) is low, which is also the reason why Wu Dun is reluctant to come to the city.
In my imagination, this is a vulgar and unliterate ranger who looks like a scoundrel. Wandering in the despicable land of western Liaoning. Only Gongsun Du, who was born as a small official and mingled with the gangsters in the market, would accept such people.
When the people of the city welcomed him. As the master, Tao Qian, who benefited the most, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he had to greet him personally. However, many subordinate officials were reluctant to welcome this generation, and as a last resort, Tao Qian adopted Mi Zhu's proposal, and at the same time met with all the heroes who assisted Xuzhou. In this way, Ma Han was weakened into one of them, and he was not seen by the public.
If Ma Han has Liu Bei's identity (although Liu Bei's identity is not high), he will definitely be greatly exaggerated by the upper echelons of Xuzhou and praised as a savior. But he is just a small person in troubled times, so it became a moment of luck for him to capture Zhang Hong, as for saving Suiling...... In other words, does this have anything to do with Cao Jun's retreat? It doesn't matter, so who cares about this stubble?
Before, everyone was still welcomed, but in the blink of an eye, it was such a cold reception, which can be called a plummet, such a situation, Ma Han has never encountered before. Among the local forces he dealt with in the past, Yuan Shao also took a fancy to his background, but because he had suffered a big loss, he had a shadow in his heart, so he naturally looked down on him; Kong Jian also attaches great importance to his background, but when he is in danger, he has to reach out to help, and it is difficult to put on a stinky face while being grateful; As for Gongsun Du, not to mention, his own identity is not much stronger than Ma Han, and he is most afraid and hates the discrimination of others, so he naturally will not roll his eyes on Ma Han because of this. As for Cao Cao, that is a meritocracy, which accountant is better than this?
And today, when I came to this Central Plains shaped place, I saw the celebrity state pastor and the subordinate officials, Ma Han finally understood what the Three Kingdoms are the most particular about their origins.
Xuzhou's biggest hero, but suffered such a cold reception, and all the white wolves rode out of anger. If this is in Mobei or Liaodi, any tribe will turn their faces and gather troops to fight for it. It's a pity that this is the Central Plains, and you can't solve the problem with your fists alone.
Ma Warrior didn't speak, and all the white wolf warriors could only suppress their anger and remain silent.
Ma Han watched coldly, looking at Tao Qian and Liu Bei, who were surrounded by everyone like stars holding the moon, but there was not much resentment, but the corners of his mouth had a hidden smile - it was a sarcastic laugh. Because he knows too well the fate of these two seemingly beautiful people. One will disappear soon, and the other will disappear soon, neither of them will be the future masters of Xuzhou.
The future lord of Xuzhou will be transformed like a marquee, and if the original trajectory of history is followed, it will eventually fall into the hands of Cao Cao. But now that there is more variable than Ma Han, who dares to say, who is the one who has the last laugh?
A big hand pressed Ma Han's shoulder, and a deep voice came into his ear: "Shocking Dragon, heroes don't ask where they come from, they don't need to mind too much." β
Ma Han smiled faintly: "Zilong, don't worry, I know it in my heart, no matter how I say it, my starting point is stronger than Gao Zu." β
Origin, origin! Identity, identity! This will be Ma Han's last shortcoming, how will he make up for it and finally overcome this hurdle? (To be continued......)
