In Chengdu, the morning light was faint, and in a mansion, a heavy voice came out, startling a few finches in the trees.

"You're going to kill me—"

It's hard to imagine that it was a man whose cheeks were as clean as white jade.

Bright electric eyes like meteors, strong muscles, slender limbs, toned abdominal muscles and a well-proportioned waist, coupled with a magnetic voice, Kong Wu powerful arms.

Such a man simply satisfies all the fantasies of women in this era about lovers.

He is Ma Chao, people say "Jin Ma Chao", from a distance, he is indeed worthy of this brocade word!

Standing in front of him was a man with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, Zhang Fei.

I heard Ma Chao chant the sentence, "Put me to death—"

Zhang Fei waved his hand, "You are my eldest brother's general, how could I put you to death?" I'm obviously giving you a great achievement! ”

Ma Chao frowned, "Then you let me go to Xiacheng City?" Do you know that there are 20,000 Wei troops in the city, and there are also my mortal enemies Yang Fu and Zhao Ang... And that woman Wang Yi! ”

Speaking of "Wang Yi", Ma Chao almost gritted his teeth.

It seems to think of a certain period of battlefield, unbearable past!

A woman who blocked his attacks nine times with a trick, this shame.

Ma Chao's tone became even heavier, "In addition to them, I heard that Cao Cao also sent his clan son Cao Xiu to lead 30,000 soldiers to support, you let me go alone, where is there still a way to live?" Isn't this death? ”

"I don't want you to die! Hahaha..."Zhang Fei hurriedly said, while speaking, he also explained with a smile: "Cao Xiu has arrived in Xiaban City, the Year of the Monkey is the month of the horse, and now in Xiaban City, half of the 20,000 soldiers are Di people, you are familiar with Di people... When you voted for my eldest brother, weren't those Xiliang Iron Riders from the Yang Ten Thousand tribe of the Di tribe? ”

Yang Wan is Ma Chao's deputy general, and he is also a branch of the "White Horse Di people" in the Di tribe.

To know... Later, this Baima tribe established the "Former Qiuchi State", and the famous Northern Wei general Yang Dayan belonged to their family.

Ma Chao's mother is a Qiang person and the Qiang people are of the same origin, so Ma Chao has been very close to the Qiang people and the Di people since she was a child.

These Qiang people and Di people also admire his martial arts, which is why Yang Qian's team will defect to Ma Chao.

Similarly, this "White Horse Warrior" is also one of the few cavalry teams in Liu Bei's army, which is very precious.

It's just that Zhang Fei's words can't convince Ma Chao.

"The Di tribe... It's more. Ma Chao's voice was low, "Yang Wan is a Baima Di person, but the Di people in Xia Cheng are Lei Dong tribes, and they have already surrendered to the Cao thief... Sleeping with the enemy! ”

"It's okay!" Zhang Fei seemed to be full of confidence, "Isn't Wu just the only four tribes of the Diren tribe?" One is Agui, the king of Xingguo, who lives in Xingguocheng, the second is Yang Qian, the king of Baiqing, who lives in Chishan, the third is Lei Ding, who has a total of more than 10,000 soldiers in seven departments, and the last one is Dou Mao, the king of Hechi! ”

Zhang Fei is like a few family treasures, "Four years ago, that Agui and Yang Wan followed you Ma Mengqi to resist Cao thief, Agui died in battle, Agui was forcibly absorbed by Cao Cao, and then Dou Mao, the king of Hechi, blocked the road when Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong, was defeated by Cao Cao, and the entire tribe was slaughtered... The desert is stained red with blood! ”

"Now... Cao Cao's hands are the only seven parts of Lei Ding, and the remnants of Agui... The number of these people, I'm afraid that they went directly to more than 10,000... In this way, how many real Wei troops are there in the city? Besides, the four Di tribes of Wudu rebelled against Cao Cao's three tribes, what about the last one? How can you be sincerely loyal, it's just forbearance, just wait for you Ma Mengqi to rush over and raise your arms, they are in awe of you, and they will definitely listen to you! This is a bloodless blade! ”

The more Zhang Fei said, the more passionate he became.

In the end, the spat flew sideways, and directly flew Ma Chao's face.

Ma Chao didn't care about wiping his face, he looked at Zhang Fei in surprise, although... Zhang Fei's proposal of "riding alone into the lower division" is a bit risky and a bit.

But he couldn't stand it, after his analysis of the Tao, this proposal began to make sense.

Even... Zhang Fei's understanding of the Di clan was completely unexpected by Ma Chao, and this was what made him the most unbelievable.

"Tsubasa..."

Before Ma Chao's words could be uttered, Zhang Fei wiped his mouth, his loud voice once again overshadowed Ma Chao, and he didn't give Ma Chao a chance to speak at all.

"Didn't Cao Cao already slaughter the Di tribe once last year? If now, what if Cao Cao is going to plunder the Di tribe again? Then take advantage of this opportunity, as long as you Ma Mengqi raise your arms in the city, who won't respond? So, riding into the lower discernment... What is this death? What is putting you to death, this is clearly a great merit for me! ”

This...

Zhang Fei's words, the more Ma Chao listened, the more he tasted.

Especially... Cao Cao slaughtered the city!

In particular, he Ma Chao's prestige in the Di tribe.

Wait a minute.

Ma Chao suddenly realized something, and he hurriedly asked, "Yide?" Last year, Cao Cao slaughtered the people of Hechi, but how do you know, how to judge... This year, they are going to plunder the Lower Guards? ”

Ma Chao is a tendon, such a long thinking also captured something from Zhang Fei's words.

He looked at Zhang Fei with great curiosity, eager to know the answer.

This...

Zhang Fei stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of his head, muttering in his heart.

- "How do you answer that?"

Yes, he Zhang Fei can say to Liu Bei and Fa Zheng that it was written in Guan Lin's "God of War", but Ma Chao... How does he know what "God of War" is, and how does he know what his Zhang Fei's "biography" is?

So how do you explain this?

Zhang Fei scratched his head, but his eyes were certain, so he simply lied directly:

"Meng Qi, you don't know this, I am an informant in the city, or a big official... He told me that within a month, the Wei army would surely plunder the Diren tribe in Xiabiancheng, and the seven thunderous tribes were full of complaints! ”

Zhang Fei has read "God of War" more than 100 times, and every detail in it seems to be embedded in Zhang Fei's heart.

And Guan Lin specially wrote about the two points of the conflict between the Wei army and the Di tribe in "God of War".

One of them was last year, that is, the 20th anniversary of Jian'an:

- "Cao Cao led the army to recruit Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and entered the capital from Wudu, and the people were blocked, and they were broken and slaughtered by the generals!" ”

This is Tu's Hechi King.

The second is in February of this year, which is the following month:

——"At the beginning of the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Xiahou Yuan fought back against Wudu Di Qiang and collected more than 100,000 Hu in the valley! ”

Considering the continuous battles, taking into account the actual situation of Wudu City, more than 100,000 ... This is by no means a levy, it must be robbed!

And grab it cleanly.

In this way, one is to slaughter the city, the other is to rob the grain...

Zhang Fei had already written down these, and he also set a plan to "discern the city" according to the time node of "the beginning of the year", you know... That's a full year ahead of history.

Listening to Zhang Fei's words, Ma Chao felt that he was in a fog.

Speaking of which, he was a little skeptical.

But on the contrary, Zhang Fei's words, Zhang Fei's self-confidence, and Zhang Fei's understanding of the Di tribe all made Ma Chao have an inexplicable and huge sense of trust in him!

This...

For a while, this single rode into the lower division, and Ma Chao hesitated, hesitated, and wandered.

For a moment, he thought... Zhang Fei's method is not feasible!

Again, that's a huge credit!

What is lacking in today's horses is credit.

…

…

Zhang Fei left, and he, who has always been not good at words, felt that he had lobbied Ma Chao this time and said what he had been saying for half his life.

For the first time, he felt that it was so hard to speak!

But Ma Chao still didn't make a decision.

Zhang Fei didn't dare to be in a hurry, so he said that he would come again.

It wasn't until Zhang Fei left that Ma Chao returned to the inner room and slammed the door.

The back door opened, and Ma Chao's brother Ma Dai and Ma Chao's sister Ma Yunlu walked in from outside the door.

Ma Chao said to them: "You all heard the conversation between me and the three generals just now, right?" ”

"I hear you." Ma Dai bowed his head, "The foolish brother thinks that this is an opportunity, with the prestige of the elder brother among the Di people, if it is really as the third general said... Under the information that the Di people are about to be looted is exact, that... The elder brother rode into Xiafen alone, and he did have the opportunity to persuade the Di tribe to surrender, and he took the city of Xiafen without blood. ”

Ma Yunlu shook her head, she was more worried about Ma Chao's safety than meritorious service. "It's still too risky, in case... What if Lei Dong, the leader of the Di tribe, is a greedy person for wealth and nobility? Will he... Captured his brother and handed it over to Cao Cao in exchange for glory and wealth... Regardless, it's still too risky. ”

Ma Dai is Ma Chao's younger brother, to be precise, "slave brother", the son of an uncle in the Fufeng Ma clan.

Compared with Ma Chao's sharpness, he is more witty and introverted...

And Ma Yunlu is the only sister of Ma Chao's mother and father, and Ma Chao is the closest person in this world besides his mother.

You must know that Ma Chao's mother is a Qiang and a concubine, and Ma Chao is the eldest son... But it's the embarrassing eldest son!

The mother-in-law is not good to Ma Chao, and his father Ma Teng also values the two sons-in-law Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.

Ma Yunlu was born to Ma Chao's mother and is a concubine.

In a descendant of a Jiangmen like Ma, a "Shu" word can cover up all the light that belongs to his brothers and sisters, even if they are brave and prestigious...

So... Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu grew up very hard.

This also created the brother and sister to depend on each other.

At this moment, Ma Chao looked at Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu meaningfully, and said with emotion: "One of you two is bold and knowledgeable, and the other cares about chaos, Yunlu... You should learn more from your brothers, you say adventure? But now in our situation, how can we get ahead without taking risks? How can you be reused without risking? Uncle Liu... In the past, we have suffered the loss of Lu Bu's betrayal, if we can't show absolute loyalty and make great contributions, then... I'm afraid that in Bashu, we will never have the day! ”

Ma Chao is not a model of intelligence in this era, but he is not stupid, he is in the huge whirlpool of Bashu.

He still understood his current situation.

He realized that his position was actually awkward.

There are too many factions under Liu Bei, the patriarchal faction, the Jingzhou faction, the Dongzhou faction, the Yizhou faction... These factions are harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they all want to behave in front of Liu Bei and strive for more benefits for their respective factions.

But what kind of faction is Ta Ma Chao?

He has no factions!

He is a general, or rather, a general.

But because of the experience of "Lu Bu", Liu Bei... The last thing to dare to use is the general who "leads the troops into the group".

It is no exaggeration to say that since the defeat of Yizhou, Ma Chao has been sitting on the cold bench, and even his position is only a nominal general and a fictitious position, without any real power or any opportunity for meritorious service.

Even... All factions are afraid of Ma Chao's success.

So he told Liu Bei that he Ma Chao had betrayed his father, a person who could betray even his father? Who else can't betray? Can you entrust it with a heavy responsibility?

"Ugh..."

Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but let out a long breath, his heart was full of twists and turns, very complicated, and very uncomfortable.

"My brother still cares too much about what others think..."

Ma Yunlu felt that Ma Chao was in a bad mood, and hurriedly relieved.

"Those stupid ones..."Ma Dai was also upset...

It seems that the words of those civil ministers and military generals, and the rumors in the market, have always been torturing these descendants of the "Fufeng Maoling Ma Clan"!

The descendants of these Fubo generals and horse aids.

Especially Ma Chao, exactly... He is also a person who values other people's opinions very much.

"Brother..."Ma Yunlu still wanted to persuade.

"Needless to say..."Ma Chao suddenly stretched out his hand, he slowly raised his arm, "In the past, I recognized Han Sui as my father and killed my father and brother, and from then on, the world will show me Ma Chao as a flood beast... The Hanzhong counselor said to me, 'If someone does not love his relatives, how can he love others?' 'In this way, I will marry the daughter of Zhang Lu, the holy daughter of the Five Doumi Sect, Zhang Qiying..."

"I want to vote for Yizhou Liu Zhang, and Yizhou Confucian said that I am 'brave but not benevolent, I don't think about it, and I can't be lips and teeth.' If it is brought closer, it will be left behind by raising tigers'... Just such a remark, a comment, absolutely Liu Zhang's heart to connect with me! ”

"I crusaded against Cao and supported the Han family, but I was betrayed by Confucianism in Guanzhong, and an eighty-year-old woman pointed at my nose and scolded angrily, 'You betray your father's rebellious son, and kill the king's thief, how can heaven and earth tolerate you for a long time, and you will not die early, and dare to look at people with your face!' ”

Speaking of which...

"Hahahaha..."Ma Chao smiled bitterly, this laughter was extremely sad.

This laughter also made Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai feel sad in their hearts.

The two looked at their brother with great distress.

It's hard to imagine that Ma Chao remembered all these words of scolding Ma Chao... Remember clearly.

Ma Chao's voice continued, "The world sees me as Ma Chao unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial, but who has experienced what I have experienced? Who knows the grief of my heart? ”

This topic seemed to touch the most fragile tendon in Ma Chao's heart all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but tell all the pain in his heart.

This...

Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu looked at each other, and then... There was a long silence.

Finally...

After the time of 100 breaths passed, seeing that Ma Chao's face had improved a little and his mood had subsided a little, Ma Yunlu gritted his teeth and asked: "What does the eldest brother mean, my sister can hear it... Has the eldest brother already decided to go to Xiacheng alone? ”

Although when he asked this sentence, Ma Yunlu's expression was extremely worried... But she couldn't help but ask, wanting to know the answer.

Ma Chao sighed and did not answer.

But my heart seemed to say it again.

- "Do I have a choice?"

Yes, Ma Chao who is in the current situation, he has no choice.

He couldn't stop asking himself.

- "In this world? Will anyone understand the horses of the West Coolant? Understand what he used to do! He... He has never been a disloyal, unfilial, or righteous person!'

Speaking of which, Ma Chao had already closed his eyes, he seemed to be meditating, but in fact... I am grateful for the injustice of fate!

So... The problem?

In this era, does anyone really understand Ma Chao?

Does anyone understand his behavior of rebelling against Cao Cao, thus forcing his father and brother to death in Xu Ducheng?

Does anyone understand what he pursued all his life?

Maybe... Yes, right?

It's just that... Even if someone can understand him, then this person must not be in Bashu.

This person is still thousands of miles away in Jingzhou, over there in Jiangxia...

In "Drunk Gold Fan", in "Drunk Life and Dream Death"!

…

…

Guan Lin hugged a beautiful woman in Jiangxia, and then continued to watch beauties, watch dances, and listen to playing the piano.

And then drink ...

As time passed, Guan Lin suddenly had a feeling of getting tired.

- It's very tired!

He felt these beauties, dances, piano music, wine... Day by day, it is hollowing out his body, corroding his dream of recovering the Han Dynasty, leaving only a handsome skin.

Thereupon... Guan Lin has a new hobby.

Listen to the book...

That's right, it's the kind of book that tells the story!

This is Guan Lin's hobby for a long time, once upon a time, under the victory bridge in Gangneung City... Guan Lin likes to find a tea stall, sit there, and listen to people's stories.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, listening to it, I heard that there was a "donkey riding Huang Chengyan" with pit shoes.

Now in Jiangxia, there is no Huang Chengyan, but there is a Wang Cang!

He said that his booktelling skills were also top-notch.

Speaking of...

- "The Legend of the Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty"

This is the work of Wang Cang, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, according to the original trajectory of history, this great writer of the late Han Dynasty, before he died of the plague a year later, has been obsessed with his "Legend of Heroes".

Name implies... This book chronicles the heroic deeds of a large number of people of this era.

Some of them were modified at the suggestion of Guan Lin.

For example, Xun Yu, the historical Wang Cang was in Cao Wei's camp, and "The Legend of Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" naturally couldn't discredit Cao Wei, so... Some stories that undermine Cao Cao's wisdom have been cut.

It's different now, everything that should be added has to be added, and what should be black has to be black...

That's what the people like to hear.

"That's all for Xun Lingjun's story..."

Now, Wang Cang has just talked about a new round of storytelling... It is the story of the whole Xun Yu.

Guan Lin is okay, Zhang Xingcai on the side is crying pear blossoms with rain, and the whole head is buried in Guan Lin's chest, Guan Lin feels that his chest is wet...

In the cry of "woo-woo" ...

Guan Lin said with emotion: "This story of Xun Lingjun... If it is sent to the north and the Central Plains, it must be... Cao Wei will be a big disappointment among the scholars. ”

Following Guan Lin's words, Wang Cang opened his mouth: "I have stepped up printing according to Gongzi's instructions... Not surprisingly, two months later, it was enough to spread this article throughout the North! ”

Guan Lin's jaw...

He patted Zhang Xingcai on the back while continuing to order, "The truest side of Xun Lingjun, Xun Lingjun is not a suicide, but the side that was forced to die by Cao Cao, it shouldn't be buried..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin comforted Zhang Xingcai, "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, what about the heroine who was still 'drunk alone' yesterday?" Why do you become so crying and crying when you listen to a story today, pear blossoms bring rain, this is not like you! ”

Guan Lin's words... It doesn't seem to be of any use to comfort Zhang Xingcai.

Whining... The sobs continued to be heard.

On the other hand, Wang Cang, he raised his eyes and glanced at Guan Lin, opened his mouth, but still closed his mouth, as if he wanted to say something and stopped.

Ruan Yu, who was also one of Jian'an's seven sons on the side, saw his appearance, guessed something, and simply reminded him.

"Is Zhong Xuan's (Wang Cang) mouth burned? How can you open and close, stop talking, and stop talking? Why..."

was reminded by Ruan Yu like this, Guan Lin also noticed.

Hurriedly asked Wang Cang, "What?" It's the story of Xun Yu that I insist on adding in "The Legend of Heroes"... Is there something wrong? ”

"It's not Xun Lingjun..."Wang Cang muttered again before he opened his mouth, "It's a character I wrote recently, he... Quite controversial, and the reputation of disloyalty and unfilial piety is haunted, but... He is the general of Bashu, if he writes it truthfully, he is afraid that the world's criticism of him will only be worse, so... I hesitated, not knowing how to put pen to paper. ”

Not...

Wang Cang's words aroused Guan Lin's curiosity.

Guan Lin said lightly: "Let me guess, the name of disloyalty and filial piety is haunted, and he is the general of Bashu, and he is criticized by the people of the world, it must be Xiliang Jinma Chao... Ma Meng got up, right? ”

was guessed by Guan Lin, Wang Cang bowed his head, "I can't hide it from Yunqi Gongzi, when this Ma Chao rebelled against Cao Cao, his father Ma Teng was still in Xudu Weiwei, and his two brothers were also in Xudu, and his cavalry rebelled... also recognized Han Sui as his father, causing his father's brothers to be wiped out... He also killed Yan Wen, Wei Kang, Yang Fu's family, Zhao Ang's children, and Jiang Xu's old mother... These..."

"From what you said, I know that you don't understand Ma Chao..." Guan Lin waved his hand directly, he raised his head, and said in a firm tone: "Of course, I can bet that in the world, I may be the only one who can understand him Ma Mengqi!" ”

That's right...

——This Ma Chao, who was criticized by later generations of literati and inkmen, was disloyal, unfilial and unjust;

——This Ma Chao, who was evaluated by various public accounts in later generations as cruel, ruthless, and unjust;

- This Ma Chao, who has been hacked for thousands of years, is comparable to Lu Bu's Ma Chao in terms of his father and family...

If you don't get to know this person in depth and understand everything he has experienced, it is really easy to be led astray by his comments.

In fact, this is simply biased to grandma's house.
