~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ma Teng and Ma Chao look quite similar, uh, it should be said that Ma Chao looks quite similar to Ma Teng, these two guys look quite distinctive. The description of Ma Teng's physiognomy in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" is very special, "the face and nose are different", and it is obvious that both the Ma father and son have the characteristics of the high nose and deep eyes of Central Asians.
Ma Han and Ma Teng had met as early as the Battle of Hangu Pass, and the helmsman of the Ma family gave Ma Han the impression that he was very far from all over the world, but there was no lack of people from the Northwest. Like this kind of "leading big brother" character, Ma Han has a lot of contacts in later generations, and he can be said to be handy in dealing with them. Coupled with the relationship between relatives, the two talked very happily, and they hated to see each other late, if it weren't for the fact that they were brothers of each other, maybe they would have been engaged a long time ago.
Let Ma Teng garrison Chiyang, guard against the northwest, and guard Chang'an, which is Ma Han's request to the Son of Heaven. Ma Han needed a stable northwest, which required the search for a reliable agent from the mainland, and in this era, there was no more reliable than the kinship general Zhen Ping Domain. Cao Cao reused the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan so much, which is the reason, but it is not just that these people are strong.
What made Ma Teng feel strange was the eldest son's attitude towards this brother. Ma Teng's visit this time is, firstly, to communicate with the family for the new appointment of his eldest son; The second is to apologize for the recklessness of the eldest son some time ago. When Ma Teng came, he was still a little worried that this unruly eldest son would be disrespectful, so he called Pound again.
It was Ma Teng's idea to use Pang De as the fake Sima of the dragon and wolf other departments and assist Ma Chao. He was more optimistic about Pound, who had been a county official, well-versed in paperwork, and extremely brave. Being generous and resolute, supplemented by it, is the most suitable. In fact, Ma Teng did the same in history, but it was ten years later.
However, Ma Teng soon found that he was too worried, and when the eldest son saw Ma Han, he actually behaved in a proper manner, and visited with the courtesy of his subordinates, with a natural expression, without the slightest grievance. This reminded Ma Teng of the rumor - two horses are fighting, and the ponies are trampling.
Could it be that the eldest son of the three armies of the brave champion really suffered?
Ma Han's attitude towards Ma Chao is not strange at all. is willing to gamble and lose, Ma Chao is still quite single.
Pang De is less than thirty, with powerful eyebrows, black hair, broad shoulders and broad body, standing between Ma Teng and Ma Chao, the two first-class generals of the Three Kingdoms, and his momentum is not weak at all. The first feeling he gave Ma Han was stability, words and deeds. Calm and moderate, even in the face of this boss who is many levels higher than him, his expression is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is indeed a character.
For the tenure of Ma Chao and Pang De. Whether it is the meaning of the court or the meaning of Ma Teng, Ma Han's attitude is that those who come will not refuse, and they will all laugh and accept. Everyone takes what they need.
During the banquet, Ma Han even proposed to ask Ma Teng to be his officiant: "The younger brother is unashamed, and he has no relatives." Today, with the princess, I will have a big ceremony, and Brother Wang will preside over it as the head of the Fufeng Ma family. β
Ma Teng had no reason to excuse himself, and he was overjoyed: "The dragon trusts him so much, my brother doesn't dare to resign." β
Well, Ma Han, it's about to get married.
β¦β¦
June 26 of the first year of Jian'an, is the auspicious day of the zodiac selected by Taibu, according to Liu Ai in the service, it is the four joys of Linque: after the son of heaven accepts, the noble mother of the world, is a joy; The eldest princess got married, which was for the second happiness; Chongde Hall and Ming Hall were completed at the same time, indicating that the Han Dynasty was prosperous and was for the three joys; The troubles of the henchmen of the Han Dynasty, Li Dao and Guo Yan were defeated, the three assistants were safe, and the Kansai was gradually settled, which was for the four joys.
Ma Han and Princess Wannian have been waiting for this moment for a long time, there is no way, their mansion has just been completed - in fact, it can be earlier and faster, after all, no matter how slow it is to build a general's mansion, it cannot take longer than a palace. It's just that even the Son of Heaven hasn't settled down yet, and one of your subordinates will live in the mansion first, which is a real thing. Since you are in the court, you have to avoid some things.
All kinds of three media and six ceremonies, the procedure of asking for names and accepting the solicitation has long been completed, and only the last one remains: personal welcome.
After the Son of Heaven was sealed, the Lady of Heaven was married, which was a major event of the country. The princes of the four directions either went to the sun in person, or sent envoys, brought congratulatory gifts, and gathered in the sun from all directions. Among these envoys, there are two groups of envoys who attach the most importance to Ma Han.
One is Cao Cao's envoy, and the envoy is Xun Yan, but this is not the reason why Ma Han attaches importance to it, if it is Xun Yu, Ma Han will also pay attention to a few points, Xun Yan, this amount is far behind. What Ma Han really attaches importance to is the accompanying escort commander - Li Dian.
Li Dian was not part of Cao Cao's direct subordinates at this time, and Xun Yan was not Cao Cao's main adviser, so Lao Cao sent these two people to envoys, and the perfunctory meaning could not be more obvious. In fact, according to Cao Cao's plan two months ago, he originally wanted to send heavyweight ministers and generals to come to see how the horse was deflated, and by the way, he used the opening of the river as a threat to negotiate the return of his eldest son. But before Cao Jun took measures to intercept Liaodong's soldiers' rations, he received news that Luoyang and Yecheng had reached a grain exchange agreement, and Liaodong no longer needed to travel thousands of miles to transport grain, but only troops.
When Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu learned the news, they looked at each other, and finally turned into a long sigh. Before the plan could be implemented, the baby was stillborn. Since you can't see people eating deflated, you are eating deflated, and no one wants to come. In the end, he could only send Xun Yan, a celebrity, to fill the faΓ§ade, and Li Dian volunteered to come. Except for his elder brother Li Quan, who knew what his brother thought, the Yanzhou forces did not know that the Li clan of the Cheng clan and Ma Han had an extraordinary secret relationship.
When Ma Han learned that the guard commander of the Yanzhou envoy was Li Dian, he couldn't help but smile, the seeds planted back then finally bear fruit today.
The other group of envoys was sent by Liu Bei, the Mu of Xuzhou, the main envoy was Sun Qian, and the deputy envoy and the commander of the guard was the captain of the Xuzhou cavalry, Mi Fang. If it's just Mi Fang, it can't explain anything, and Ma Han may not care, but there are three secret entourages, one of which is the sister of the Mi brothers-Mi Zhen.
Historically, at the end of the first year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was driven by Lu Bu to Guangling Haixi, destitute and hungry, when he wanted to eat people, the Mi brothers not only sent life-saving food and thousands of customers to support, but also promised the only sister to send charcoal in the snow. What's more, he really bet on Liu Bei completely. I have to say that Mi Zhu's ability to recognize people and the keen sense of businessmen deserve to be the first class in the Three Kingdoms.
However, in response to the saying, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods. Among the major forces in Xuzhou, Liu Bei has obvious advantages compared with Lu Bu; Compared with Cao Cao, it seems inferior. But Cao Cao's momentum has been achieved, and his command can be called full of talents, and if he squeezes in, he will only be attached to the tail. Unlike Liu Bei, there is a shortage of talents under the account, and if you are thirsty for talents, it is easy to be reused. Ambitious people will always choose to be the head of the chicken rather than the queen of the cow, and the Mi brothers are willing to be the head of the chicken. Among the three major bosses of Liu, Lu, and Cao, Liu Bei is undoubtedly the only choice.
And in this time and space, the Mi brothers have a new choice - Ma Han.
Ma Han has no power in Xuzhou, except for Eagle Eyes and Ears. There is no soldier, but no one can deny that his influence in Xuzhou is huge and his soft power is amazing. In the past, it was mostly in the lower class of Xuzhou. That is, the reputation of the soldiers and the hundred natures is very high, but since the horse warrior escorted the east and defeated the national thieves (Li and Guo). Even in the upper echelons of Xuzhou, the wind direction has begun to turn.
Mi Zhu's vision was extraordinary, and he felt the deep pressure from the north and the Central Plains, and he said to his brother Mi Fang: "Xuzhou may be Liu Yuanjun's today, and Cao Mengde's tomorrow, but if one day, Ma Jinglong raises troops into Huai, this Xuzhou must be his!" β
In fact, Mi Zhu thought that this young man's potential was stronger than Liu Bei's, and it was extremely rare not to discriminate against businessmen, and even highly affirmed the role of businessmen. Unfortunately, the only shortcoming is the ...... However, now people have already jumped into the dragon gate, and now it is not what it used to be, and the shortcomings have been made up, and even become the hardest piece.
The Mi brothers discussed again and again and made a decision, hugging that person's thigh, and taking advantage of the shortage of talents under him, especially the clerical talents, to quickly catch up and get a good position.
Liaodong has always had business dealings with the Mi clan of Qu County. After Ma Han led Liaodong, he even sent Hawkeye into Xuzhou to contact the Mi brothers. Because at that time, Ma Han's identity was only a side branch of the Fufeng Ma family, although it was much better than before, but the cramped corner of Liaodong was not enough to impress the Mi brothers, and they had been waiting and seeing.
Until Ma Han took advantage of the chaos in Yanzhou, Heshuo was empty, highlighted the strange soldiers, waved his army, and became the upstart of the court in one fell swoop, and finally came the news of his marriage to the eldest princess of ten thousand years - the Mi brothers were full of emotion, it turned out that they could still play like this. At this time, the brothers finally made up their minds and bet the treasure on Ma Han. While secretly transferring the family wealth, he sent the girl to Luoyang as a "deposit" for losing sincerity.
At the same time, there are two big meeting gifts - pottery merchants and Tao Ying brothers.
After the expiration of the filial piety period, the brothers originally took a boat from Yangzhou to Liaodong, but halfway through, they learned that Ma Han had gone south to Luoyang. The accompanying members of Hawkeye persuaded them to go directly to Liaodong, but the brothers didn't think of that bitter cold place, but they didn't have a choice at the beginning, but now that they have a choice, who is willing to give up Luoyang and go to Liaodong?
At this time, the Mi brothers also expressed their intention to the Hawkeye principal in Xuzhou, so they brought the Tao brothers together.
Although the envoy of Xuzhou is Sun Gan, a die-hard loyalist of Liu Bei, the entire envoy group, except for him and a few servants, is all the disciples of the Mi family, and it is easy to mix in the three of them and come secretly.
Ma Han met Mi Fang on the same day and confessed to him: "Xuzhou, no matter who occupies it now, it will be the imperial court in the future - Xuzhou, after all, Xuzhou of Xuzhou people." β
If the person in front of him was Mi Zhu, Ma Han would never say it so explicitly, but Mi Fang's words, then he had to say it as thoroughly as possible, so as not to make the other party untrustworthy and add doubts.
Ma Han looks at people, and he is not inferior to Mi Zhu.
So, Mi Fang returned satisfied, and sent her little sister to the house the next day - of course, nominally to visit her handkerchief to Ganmei, in fact, Mi Zhen was coaxed by the two brothers...... Being able to go out of Xuzhou, travel thousands of miles, and go to the imperial capital to have a look, and you can also see good sisters who have not seen you for many years - such a temptation is really not something that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl can resist.
Mi Zhen was "sold" by two brothers. However, compared to another time and space, marrying a man old enough to be her father, and finally dying in the longboard slope is even more tragic, who can say that the current result is not the best? (To be continued......)
