~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the first day of the seventh month, the Huaishang Conference, the stars were shining and the famous generals gathered.
On the side of Ma Han, there are Guo Jia, Xun You, Li Dian, Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chen Dao, Yuan Yao, and Xu You.
On Cao Cao's side, there are Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, Mao Jue, Cao Ang, Zhu Ling, Han Hao, Guan Yu, Jian Yong, Hu Cheer, and Han Song.
On Sun Ce's side, there are Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Sun Jing, He Qi, and Yu Tuo.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, from north to south, at least half of the essence has gathered in Si.
The ceremony before the conference was naturally that Yuan Yao, on behalf of his father, presented the seal to the imperial court represented by Ma Han to show his return, and at the same time presented the seal of the Taishou of Jiujiang County and the military and civilian registers. As for Lujiang, because the original Taishou Liu Xun abandoned his post, and there were thieves such as Lei Bo and Chen Lan, it has become a borderless land, and only the strong live in it; And Yuzhang was too shou Hua Xin was ordered to come, and he was still halfway.
At this time, the news of Yuan Shu's death had not yet been transmitted back to Shouchun, otherwise Yuan Yao would not have been so calm.
On the platform, Ma Han was dressed in a general's uniform, wearing a gold seal and a purple ribbon, sitting upright on the stage, faintly revealing a kingly atmosphere. When he finally took the jade seal held by Yuan Yao on the yellow silk tray with vermilion pattern on the tray, his always calm face. It's hard to hide your joy.
Among the guests watching the ceremony, Zhou Yu turned his head sideways and sighed softly to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, I thought that at the beginning, this jade seal was in your hands......
During the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun Jian responded to Dong Wei's order, attacked all the way to Luoyang as a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, obtained the national seal from the well, and brought it back to Jiangdong. After Sun Jian's death. Sun Ce used the jade seal to exchange Yuan Shu for his father's old department, and started from it, and dominated for six years.
At this time, Sun Ce's momentum has been completed, and his wings are full, if the jade seal is still in his hands, he is afraid that it is a strange commodity to live in, and he will never hand it over.
Sun Ce didn't speak, but just stared at Ma Han fixedly. His eyes burned, his fists clenched, sometimes his lips pouted, sometimes his cheeks puffed out. It's almost time to shout the phrase "He can take his place".
And the domineering and mighty horse on the lookout platform of Cao Cao on the opposite side, and then looked at Sun Ce, who was also heroic, his eyes were raised, and he stroked his hair and smiled. The long history beside him, Mao Jue, whispered in his ear: "Ming Gong is clever." Sun Bofu has already started to win, and after the two join forces to break Yuan, they are expected to join forces to fight against horses again. Just pull Liu Jingzhou onto the boat again......"
Cao Cao said lightly: "It's not a lonely calculation, but the pressure brought to Sun Bofu by Ma Han's trip to Yangzhou, otherwise it is impossible to resist, unless he is willing to go to Luoyang to be the general of the Laoshi Zihu Benzhonglang." ”
Cao Cao's words hit the nail on the head, Ma Han's southward journey this time is actually to salute first and then to soldier, and all the Jianghuai princes have to make a choice, whether to enter the court as an official or occupy the mountain as a king. If there is anyone who does not go, they will be ruthlessly attacked.
Although Sun Ce repeatedly flaunted his loyalty to the imperial court, Cao Cao could see at a glance that he was the same kind of person as himself, as well as that Liu Xuande. They are born to unite.
Well, salute first, then soldiers, and then, it's time for a showdown.
After receiving the seal on behalf of the Son of Heaven, that night, Ma Han held a banquet in Shouchun Palace and drank with the Jianghuai heroes.
Ma Han naturally sat in the middle of the head, which was the position of Yuan Shu in the past. The front seat on the left is Cao Cao, the front seat on the right is Sun Ce, and Yuan Yao and Han Song, who represents Liu Biao, sit in the first place on the left and right respectively. The next seats, according to their respective official positions or fame, are basically the top of the celebrities, and the generals accompany the last seat.
After three rounds of drinking, Ma Han began to cut to the chase: "Brother Meng De, I still remember the meeting between you and me in Pengcheng, it was really like yesterday!" ”
Cao Cao rolled up his sleeves and raised his eyes, smiling: "Back then, Cao was the state pastor, and Ma Jun was just a captain; Now Cao is still a state pastor, but Ma Jun is already a general. When you encounter impermanence in life, you have not heard of such a person, and you should be white. ”
Ma Han could only raise his glass, but he had already sensed that Cao Cao wanted to dominate the discourse. The gathering of heroes for a feast is like a battlefield, how can they give in? Therefore, as soon as the wine entered his throat, he caught a glimpse of Cao Cao's mouth out of the corner of his eye, and he was about to open his mouth again, so he immediately grasped the flaw in Cao Cao's words, took the lead, and laughed: "Meng De said very much, this official should have been promoted a long time ago." Lone went south this time, with the official identity document signed and sealed by the Son of Heaven, the first one was to invite Meng De to go to Yu and take up the position of court lieutenant. Luoyang will reproduce the five-color stick, which will be a rare scene. The lawless magnates in Luoyang must have trembled, and Lone couldn't wait to see this scene. Hahahaha! ”
Cao Cao had already taken measures against this, his face was sad, and he sighed: "I really want to go to the court, serve the Son of Heaven, and be loyal to the Han Dynasty." It's a pity that the beginning of next year is the day of the death of the first Weng, since the beginning of the army to fight against Dong, he has been running around all the time, fighting every day, and has never been filial piety before the first strict, which is really worthy of being a son of man. Therefore, Cao has made an oath that he will live in seclusion and keep filial piety for the ancestors for three years. The Son of Heaven is heavy, the general is gracious, and there are only regrets ......"
As soon as this reason was thrown, Ma Han secretly took a breath of cold air, a good Cao Cao, and really found a strong shield for him. Han ruled the world with filial piety, Cao Cao said that he wanted to make up for filial piety, but you really couldn't take him. And it can't cut his official position, on the contrary, such a sincere and filial act should be rewarded and promoted.
Of course, Ma Han also knows that what makes up for filial piety is just a trick, which is Cao Cao's accumulation of strength in the name of filial piety.
Very good, this is a guy who doesn't eat dates and wants to eat and fight, I remember you.
Ma Han turned his face to look at Sun Ce.
Before Ma Han could speak, Sun Ce had already stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Ce is willing to go to the great general with the general, serve the Son of Heaven together, and only ask for the general." ”
Ma Han was interested: "Oh, what's the matter? ”
"Please help the general, crusade against Huang Zu, and avenge your father!"
Above the hall, all kinds of noises disappeared, and there was silence for a while. Only Sun Ce's sad and indignant voice echoed in the main hall: "As a shepherd, Wu Di is not quiet, and he has the grace of God, which is disloyal; Ten years after my father's death. The great revenge has not been avenged, and the revenge is free, which is for unfilial piety. is so disloyal and unfilial, what is the face of Ce? ”
"Well, well said!" Cao Cao praised the case, but he was laughing in his belly, what a Sun Bofu, this reason is better than his own, and he also defeated the army.
Ma Humma rubbed his chin. He was about to speak. Suddenly, a slightly immature voice sounded: "What the lord said is very true, if the father does not take revenge, how can he be a human being!" ”
Everyone in the hall looked sideways when they heard the sound, and they saw a thin figure flying out of the inconspicuous corner of the hall.
At the same time, Shi A, one of Ma Han's personal guards, had quietly turned to Ma Han's side, his hand pressing on the hilt of his sword. Be prepared. His eyes locked on the other party, and he whispered in his mouth: "This person walks lightly and swiftly, walks with his shoulders level, and is a trained swordsman." But. Fire is still owed. ”
Ma Han suddenly laughed, he knew why Shi Ah said that the other party still owed Huohou, because the person who came was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
The young man's facial features are handsome, and his sword eyebrows are in the sideburns. The eyes are like stars, very heroic. When he went to the temple and bowed to the horseman. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and other people in Eastern Wu all changed their colors, and looked at Cao Cao with a shocked face.
The young man respectfully and respectfully: "Wu Jun Lingtong, meet the general." ”
Ling Tong? This young man is Ling Tong!
Ma Han was stunned at first, and then almost wanted to laugh. He understood why Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and the others had changed color, because Ling Tong, who was supposed to be on the Eastern Wu side, actually transferred out of the seat on Cao Cao's side. In other words, Ling Tong was not brought in by Sun Ce and them, but Cao Cao brought it in without authorization.
What did Cao Cao want? What does Ling Tong want?
After the young man Ling Tong finished saluting, he straightened his body, and suddenly tore his hands and tore the ground with a bang, tearing a brocade robe in half, revealing a filial piety suit. At the same time, he took out a filial piety belt from his bosom and tied it to his forehead.
When Ling Tong was doing this series of actions, in the dark compartments of the ear chambers on both sides, I don't know how many bows and crossbows were aimed at him. Shi A and Chen Zhi also left and right, close to both sides of Ma Han.
Only Ma Han did not move at all, watching Ling Tong's actions with great interest, when he saw this filial piety suit, and then remembered what he said earlier, Ma Han realized that it was Ling Cao who died. Looking at this frame, it seems that the master is asking for guilt, who killed it?
Ling Tong was still immature, but he was not inferior to Sun Ce's passionate voice sounded, echoing in the main hall: "The first Weng Lingjun, died at the hands of the enemy, and the sand battle was also fate. However, the enemy will not give Xian Weng a fair chance to fight, but will attack and kill him with a secret arrow...... Xian Weng said on his deathbed, asking the commander to have a fair fight with this enemy in the future, life and death are up to fate, and the victory or defeat is in the sky. I hope that the general will be fulfilled. ”
Sun Ce blurted out: "Ling Tong, you ......"
Zhou Yu on the side secretly pulled and shook his head. Sun Ce couldn't help but say nothing.
Ma Han's face was solemn: "Avenge my father, a fair decision, and sure enough, the hero is a young man." So, who is your so-called enemy? ”
Ling Tong slowly raised his left hand, pinched his fingers into a sword, and suddenly pointed at a halberd somewhere, his eyes breathing fire: "This is the person!" ”
Everyone's eyes are on Gan Ning!
Ma Han raised his eyebrows: "Xingba, have you killed a person named Ling Cao recently?" ”
Gan Ning was calm, put down the meat cutting knife in his hand, took the towel from the maid's hand, wiped his mouth, and shook his head: "No." ”
Ling Tong said hatefully: "I have killed too many people at my feet, I have already forgotten about it." ”
Gan Ning seemed to be thinking about something, thoughtfully: "Speaking of dark arrows, I recently shot a rather brave masked rebel general......"
Before Ling Tong could speak, Zhou Yu had already stood up and arched his hand: "The incident was caused by the Shouchun Rebellion last month. Last year, the general Jiang Gongyi's mother was ill, and Gongyi immediately returned to Shouchun to visit his mother, and Ling Jun also accompanied him. Never expecting the Battle of Shouchun to break out, the two were trapped in the city and could not return to Wu. The siege outside the city did not affect the city, but last month Shouchun City was in turmoil, and the rebels attacked Shouchun Palace. Yuan Gongben was our old master, and Gongyi and Ling Jun both missed the friendship of the old master and wanted to help him. Unexpectedly, he was injured by a stray arrow in the melee, and he ...... Ling Jun said left and right that this arrow was sent by Gan Jun, and in the melee that night, Gan Jun shot more than one arrow, right? ”
Isn't this nonsense, of course Gan Ning shot more than one arrow that night, I'm afraid there are twenty arrows.
Zhou Yu finally said sincerely: "In the chaos, the arrows have no eyes, and it is inevitable to kill enemies and hurt friends. Bo Fu put the overall situation first, although he was saddened by Ling Jun's death, he did not want to add trouble to the general, so he did not allow Ling Jun's son to go to the palace......"
At this time, Cao Cao coughed dryly, turned his head and shouted to someone in the corner: "Pi'er, what's going on?" ”
Next to the seat that Ling Tong had just turned out, a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old got up in response, walked to the hall, stood side by side with Ling Tong, and bowed to Ma Hanchang: "Cao Pi, the middle son of Cao Yuzhou, greets the general. ”
This is the person who ended the Han family in history, Cao Pi, Emperor Cao Weiwen?
Ma Han looked at Cao Pi carefully, but his eyebrows were delicate, not very similar to Lao Cao, with a bit of heroism in his elegance, and his eyes were gloomy. In terms of momentum alone, it is not as good as Ling Tong, but it doesn't show any imperial spirit. Well, in this plane, he probably won't have any royal spirit.
Cao Pi followed Lao Cao, but he was also used to seeing big scenes, and in the face of the coercion of Ma Han, he could actually talk eloquently: "Before Pi entered the palace, he saw this Ling brother standing at the bottom of the steps and wept, he was curious for a while, and stepped forward to ask, only to know that he was rejected by the lord Sun Lang, and he was not allowed to go to the palace, and he reprimanded the murderer of his father and killed his father's enemy. Pi felt its fierceness and privately led it into the temple. If the general condemns the crime, he is willing to deserve it. ”
On the main hall, there was a lot of discussion, not to mention Cao Cao's side, that is, Sun Wu's side, there were many generals who secretly applauded, and they were heartbroken for the righteousness of this young man.
If it weren't for knowing this guy's black history, knowing that he was not a chivalrous person or a fuel-efficient lamp, Ma Han would have almost applauded.
Things seem to be clear, Ling Cao did die at the hands of Gan Ning, as for what Zhou Yu said, it is somewhat true...... It's a pity that Yang Hong lost his arm and died of excessive blood loss on the night he broke his arm, and he couldn't understand the inside story of the so-called "rebellion" from his mouth, nor did he know the true identity of the masked leader who was shot by Gan Ning.
Ma Han breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ling Tong, "Do you want a fair decision?" ”
Ling Tong's expression was resolute: "Yes!" ”
At this time, Cao Pi spoke again: "It is not fair to bully the small with the big and the weak to bully the weak." Pi is willing to fight side by side with the Ling brothers, and hopes that the general will be perfected. ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Cao and Sun, even the generals under Ma Han were also moved.
Mao Jue was even more admired: "Shaojun's move can be regarded as an example of the friendship between Yu and Wu." ”
Only Guo Jia and Xun You remained silent, glanced at each other, and said softly at the same time: "Good means." ”
Ma Han glanced at Gan Ning, who was munching on the case, his appetite was not affected at all, and he had the meaning of "one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released".
Ma Han smiled and said to Ling Tong and Cao Pi: "If the two want to fight with Gan Jun, they must have their own public consent-Meng De and Bo Fu, what do they mean?" ”
Cao Cao and Sun Ce said in unison: "No!" ”
Ma Han couldn't help but burst into laughter, this was expected, how could it be possible for two teenagers to face off against the famous warrior? Poor Ling Tong was used by Cao Cao's father and son to make a big reputation. Well, enough of the acting, that's it.
"When it comes to serving in the court, I hope that all the gentlemen here will think twice." Ma Han stood up slowly, his expression was grim, and his words were full of warning, "I am here with the sincerity of peace, and I hope that you will not let the staff of peace slip from my hands!" (To be continued......)
