Jian Shuo thought to himself, when Ma Chao led the army into the capital and became one of the nine kings, Guangluxun, relying on His Majesty's favor and the 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry in his hand, he would be able to fight against the general, Taifu and others in the court.

At that time, as an ally of Ma Chao, with the support of His Majesty and Ma Chao's attention, he will be able to be in the palace and in the Yellow Gate at the same time, and his power is unmatched, and he will even overpower Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and replace him as the leader of the Ten Standing Servants! Thinking of this, Jian Shuo's laughter is even more rampant and more enjoyable!

……………………………………………………

On this side, Ma Chao is still leading the army to surround Chang'an City, and Huangfu Song is also guarding the city as always, sitting on the city wall to watch the Xiliang army escort back from Feng Ling County with a cart of property, with a long rope to tie the hands of a family, like a horse and a cow, from Chang'an City unscrupulously.

In this plunder, the Xiliang army swept away Fengling County, and all the families in the county who had helped the officials and soldiers and contributed money were also swept away, the dock fort was burned, the property was looted, and the fields and ponds in the manor were divided up by the tenants and servants of the family and the homeless people under the guidance of the Xiliang army. Fengling County is not as rich as Jingzhao County, but it is also relatively wealthy. This time, the Xiliang army obtained more than 600,000 pieces of wheat, more than 700 million yuan, 110,000 cattle and horses, countless silk, brocade, silk and hemp, millions of sheep and pigs, and important materials such as salt, iron, and steel.

Ma Chao left behind more than 1,000 cattle, more than 200,000 sheep and pigs, 200 million money, and 500,000 silk and linen fabrics to reward the entire army of the Xiliang Army. Just the mutton and pork were enough for the entire army of Xiliang to eat for a month, and Ma Chao only left 100,000 grains, and the rest of the materials were recruited by Cheng Gongying and another 20,000 homeless people, all of which were transported back to Liangzhou.

As a result, the fragrance of barbecue wafted under Chang'an City every day, making the defenders in Chang'an City salivate.

After bidding farewell to the last of Cheng Gongying's convoys, Ma Chao saw that Huangfu Song did not dare to go out of the city to attack the camp of the Xiliang Army, and he had nothing to do, so he wanted to play near Chang'an City. Ma Chao found on the map that in the south of Chang'an City, that is, some places south of Sheji and Biyong, there is a large lake, called "Kunming Pool".

Ma Chao was immediately moved, because in his previous life, he was a southerner, and he liked to swim since he was a child, go down to the river to fish, and fish. As a result, I traveled to Liangzhou, which is located in the northwest region, although the climate of Liangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty was very humid, but there were few lakes. Moreover, it has only been more than two months since Ma occupied Liangzhou, and Ma Chao has been busy with conquest, preparation and assisting Ma Teng in handling government affairs, implementing the uniform field system, and has no leisure time to fish. And stationed next to the Taiye Pond, the fish in the Taiye Pond were not easy to take the bait because they were frightened by the sound of the Xiliang Army camp.

Ma Chao took Jia Xu, Yang Fu, Ma Dai, and Zhang Xiu to lead thousands of horsemen to Kunming Pool; Led by Pang De, Yan Xing, Zhang Ji and others guarded the camp.

Thousands of horses rolled Pinggang, and soon Ma Chao led thousands of horses from Taiye Pond, crossed Fengshui, and came to Kunming Pool.

On the shore of Zhuma Pond, Ma Chao saw that this Kunming Pool was so big that it was endless, sparkling, and magnificent, with waterfowl flying on the lake and fish shadows looming under the lake.

I haven't seen the water for a long time, which makes Ma Chao, who was a southerner in his previous life, feel like meeting an old friend who has not been seen for a long time, and he is in a happy mood.

Yang Fu said with a smile: "Young master, this Kunming Pool was dug by Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty. Emperor Xiaowu wanted to poison his body in order to seek the bamboo, but he was blocked in Kunming and could not go. Emperor Xiaowu was angry and wanted to attack Kunming. I also heard that there is a big pond in Kunming, named Dianchi Lake, three hundred miles away, if you want to cut it, you can't do without a water army. Emperor Xiaowu was in the south of Shanglin Garden, compared with Kunming Dianchi Lake, and dug Kunming Pond to train the navy. Who would have thought that the southern expedition to South Vietnam, Dongping Korea, the northern expedition to the Xiongnu, and the west to take the four counties, the former Han Dynasty was exhausted, and the conquest of Kunming was put on hold forever, and the naval army trained in Kunming Chi could not be used. ”

Jia Xu said: "Kunming Pond is between Fengshui and Zhushui, in the Shanglin Garden. There are the old site of Zhuchi and Qin Afang Palace in the north, Wenshui in the south, Fengqi Yuan and Shaoling Yuan in the east, and Fengshui in the west. As Yishan said, it is modeled after the Dianchi Lake with a radius of 300 miles, so this Kunming Pond is also a radius of 300 miles.

Legend has it that when Emperor Xiaowu dug this pool, he got black soil, and I don't know what it was. Ask Dongfang Shuo, Shuo Yan Western Regions people or know. In the season of the Later Han Dynasty, when Emperor Xiaoming was in power, a monk from the Western Regions came, recalled the words of Dongfang Shuo, and asked the monks from the Western Regions. The monk said that when the Buddhist scriptures are uploaded, the black soil is the ashes after the catastrophe. ”

Ma Chao just wanted to fish, waved his hand, and said: "Okay, okay, I'm here to rest on fishing, not to listen to the second and third sons teach me lessons." What about fishing rods? ”

Zhang Xiu handed it over and said, "Bait, Brother Dai has already gone to dig earthworms." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Dai took a few soldiers and carried a few small buckets in his hands, which were full of writhing red earthworms. Ma Chao pinched an earthworm, pinched the earthworm, strung half of it to the hook, and took a piece of dry wood and tied it to the fishing line as a buoy. In this way, the dry wood blocks float on the surface of the water, and as soon as the fish bite the hook, the dry wood blocks will be pulled down the water, and the time to draw the rod can be judged according to the depth at which the dry wood blocks are pulled under the water.

Ma Chao's operation made a group of Liangzhou people who were landlubbers around him dumbfounded. Ma Dai, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, and Yang Fu also followed Ma Chao's example, clumsily stringing earthworms on fish hooks and throwing them into the water.

The five sat side by side, patiently waiting for the fish to take the bait. After a while, Ma Chao's buoy moved, causing ripples on the water surface. Ma Chao knew that this was usually just a fish testing, and he hadn't bitten the hook into his mouth yet. After waiting for a while, the buoy suddenly sank into the water, the fishing line was stretched straight, Ma Chao immediately pulled up the fishing rod, and sure enough, a big carp jumped out of the water, fell to the ground, and jumped alive.

When the soldiers saw this, they applauded, and the soldiers diligently picked the big carp, put it in a wooden barrel that was ready to hold water, and skewered earthworms for Ma Chao.

Yang Fu said in surprise: "The young master is too powerful, this fishing kung fu is not like my northerner, but like a southerner who has lived by the water since childhood!" ”

was suddenly broken by Yang Fu's sentence, Ma Chao was somewhat weak-hearted, and said: "It's just luck, it's just luck!" If you are patient, you can catch it. ”

Yang Fu was inspired and full of interest.

But when Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Jia Xu, and Zhang Xiu caught fish one after another, several wooden barrels were full, and Yang Fu waited left and right, and no fish got on his hook. Or if there was a fish that was just a temptation, he didn't bite the hook, and gently touched the buoy, Yang Fu impatiently pulled up the fishing rod, resulting in a fish that couldn't be caught.
