Chapter 16: The Yellow Turban Rebellion
Jiaolong has been slaughtered, Gao Shun could have left on his own, of course, in the end, he still chose to stay in Longxi, after all, he was born as a civilian, he could not raise filial piety and honesty to enter the career, even if he went to the army to enlist, he could not become the head of a battalion, with the background of acquired cultivation and Xiliang Academy, he had to be a chief, so he naturally decided to stay in Longxi first to continue to practice and lead soldiers to temper himself.

At the same time, Pang De also started a retreat, Pang De was ready to use the help of the true dragon essence blood to break through to the congenital perfection realm in one fell swoop, and half a year later he also successfully exited, and Ma Ben, who learned of this, also hurriedly wrote to ask Pang De if he had any plans to become a leader, of course, it was not that Ma Ben wanted to dig the corner of his son, but a martial artist who reached the congenital perfection realm in his early twenties, but he couldn't stop the future of others, even if he was only a general of the Ma family before, but Pang De refused without hesitation, but stayed by Ma Heng's side and continued to lead the thousand private soldiers. After getting along day and night, Pound's perception of Ma Heng has already changed greatly. Of course, in the same way, even if he is out of office, with the promotion of Ma Ben, he does have a great chance of becoming a captain of the Xiliang City Defense Army, but naturally it is not as good as being at ease and making progress in Longxi. Whether to grind time in the big dye vat of the city defense army or to lead a thousand private soldiers in Longxi to crisscross the wilderness, the choice is obvious.
When the snow was falling, hundreds of people and horses set out on their way home, and the Chinese New Year was about to be. Ma Heng and the others are naturally ready to go back to Xiliang City to reunite with their families, at this moment, everyone's faces are full of joy, their pockets are sufficient, and most of them have cultivated to a higher level, so they are naturally more and more like arrows.
A few days later, hundreds of people came to the Xiliang City Gate, and then went back to their homes one by one. Only Gao Shun followed Ma Heng to the Taishou Mansion, not long after Gao Shun left Xiliang City, the remaining widowed mother who lived alone was sent by Ma Ben to live in the Taishou Mansion, and living in the Taishou Mansion was naturally much more comfortable than living in the previous Burrow. There are also subordinates to serve, and Ma Ben also lets a few concubines contact the old lady from time to time. For the mother of his son's important subordinates, Ma Ben is also extremely kind.
At this moment, the Taishou Mansion is already full of lights, and the taste of the New Year is countless times stronger than that of Longxi. Ma Heng dismounted and went straight to the inner courtyard. In the inner courtyard, he and Gao Shun were separated, one went to visit his father, and the other went to visit his mother.
Looking at Ma Heng, who has grown a lot taller and has a frosty face, he saluted and greeted himself, Ma Ben was comforted, and his cultivation not only went further, according to the second brother's letter, he was also a lot more stable, and he was no longer frizzy, but handled everything in an orderly manner. His son has finally grown up.
Ma Ben asked about Ma Heng's situation in Longxi, and soon, the two suddenly had nothing to say, which seemed to be a common problem in Chinese dynasties, father and son often couldn't say a few words, and Ma Heng couldn't let his mother answer the phone... The mother of this life died in childbirth when she gave birth to herself. Ma Ben has not continued the string, of course, a few concubines are still indispensable.
Ma Ben suddenly had a happy face and pulled Ma Heng out of the study. Seeing my father have never been so happy, even in his memory. Ma Heng was pulled up to the inner house with a curious face.
came to the courtyard of Ma Ben's concubine, and Ma Heng naturally never came in the past.
In the voice of the next person's report, the two entered, and a gorgeous young woman held a baby who was only a few months old, ready to salute Ma Ben, and was quickly spoiled by Ma Ben and signaled not to move.
Ma Ben took the baby from the young woman's hand, hugged the baby girl and approached Ma Heng, with a doting face, "Heng'er, look, this is your sister, Ma Yunlu, how cute." ”
Staring at the pink baby girl in Ma Ben's arms, Ma Heng's brain couldn't help but burst with joy, reincarnated as a human being, but he suddenly had a younger sister, naturally the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and the more he felt that he looked so cute. However, the baby girl is indeed cute, and hopes to grow up like Ma Heng, unlike the father of the two of them, Ma Ben, whose head unconsciously appeared with the image of a female version of Ma Ben, Ma Heng hurriedly shook his head and quickly dispelled this terrifying imagination.
That night, the Taishou Mansion set up a banquet, Ma Ben, Ma Heng, the young woman holding Ma Yunlu, Gao Shun, Gao Shun's mother, sat at a table, and they were happy, but it was a pity that Pang De, who was in retreat, did not return to Xiliang.
The father and son were drunk that night and were carried back to the room by their subordinates. Seeing that Ma Ben was extremely happy in his heart, Ma Heng also felt warm in his heart after a long absence, which was completely different from fighting in a wild place.
Early in the morning, Ma Heng, who woke up automatically from his biological clock, came to the martial arts arena to start a day of cultivation in the warm winter sun. Gao Shun had also arrived, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
On the auspicious day of the Lunar New Year, that is, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, under the auspices of Ma Ben, many elders of the Ma family and Gao Shun's mother wept and witnessed the coming-of-age ceremony for Ma Heng and Gao Shun.
As soon as you enter the acquired realm, it means that you have reached adulthood, and you naturally need to hold a coming-of-age ceremony. And you can take the table word, and in the end, the word Gao Shun is Bossun, and the word Ma Heng is Runzhi.
As soon as he became an adult, it means that he has to start thinking about marriage, Gao Shun's father has already set a baby for Gao Shun before his death, and his daughter is the same as him, seeing that Gao Shun has a bright future, of course, this doll's father has always taken care of Gao Shun's family, otherwise Gao Shun was even more unhappy when he was young. The wedding was scheduled half a year ago. It was also when Gao Shun returned to Xiliang that it happened to be solved together.
With the funding of Ma Heng and the participation of hundreds of colleagues, the wedding was extremely lively, and the bride Ma Heng also met, a small jasper-type woman, but also a good match.
At the wedding banquet, Cheng Lian and Wei Xu also came to congratulate, and Lu Bu also asked the two to bring congratulatory gifts, but he himself was still imprisoned on the cliff peak. Cheng Lian and Wei Xu and Ma Heng were naturally quite embarrassed to meet, but on the day of the big day, the three of them did not have a conflict, but each chose to turn a blind eye.
At the wedding banquet, many classmates in the past showed favor to Ma Heng intentionally or unintentionally, and there were many people who cut off their robes and broke their righteousness with themselves. It seems that under the example of these hundreds of returnees, many students are interested in going to Longxi for development. And Ma Heng naturally did not refuse to come, not mentioning the contradictions with everyone before, and chatting and laughing with everyone, which also made many students who were thinking about it relax, and they all felt that they had not seen each other for more than a year, and Ma Heng was becoming more and more like a general.
Seeing that Ma Heng was thriving at the banquet, Cheng Lian's face was pale, and he said lightly, "A group of spineless eggs." ”
Wei Xu's expression was complicated and he didn't say a word. Although Lu Bu was imprisoned in the cliff peak for more than a year, he was not idle, after being awarded Fang Tian's halberd, his cultivation was even more miles in a day, and he broke through to the acquired realm a month earlier than Ma Heng, knowing that the two of them were still three years old.
As soon as he arrived in the Heavenly Realm, Lu Bu agreed to go to Wei's house to propose to Wei Mingzhu and the father of Wei Xu's brothers and sisters on the day he went down the mountain after completing his sentence.
Wei Xu, who was supposed to be happy, couldn't be happy. A look on the mind.
Ma Ben also began to worry about Ma Heng's marriage, Ma Heng did not refuse, as long as he saw it and felt suitable, it was an obligation to add heirs to the family, and the suitable time period for childbirth was so acquired at the congenital level, and then broke through, and the possibility of giving birth to heirs was extremely difficult. Even the possibility of giving birth to an heir in the innate realm is not very large, which is why Ma Ben of the Great Martial Arts Realm is extremely surprised to be able to give birth to such a daughter, and is naturally extremely precious, although it is still a pity that he did not give birth to a son in private, of course, Ma Heng is naturally happier with having a younger sister.
Ma Ben, who is ready to find a good match for his son, is also quite entangled, thinking that Ma Ben, who is reckless, wants to find a scholarly family, and also fits his son's eyes, and the heroes of Xiliang City have been offended by their sons, but they will not be able to find a good match for a while, the Central Plains is a lot of scholarly families, but none of them are willing to marry their daughters to the wasteland of Xiliang, but they are not in a hurry at this time.
After staying in Xiliang City for more than a month, when the first snow melted, everyone embarked on a journey back to Xiliang City, more than 400 people when they came back, and there were hundreds more when they went, all of them were determined to go to Longxi with Ma Heng.
waved goodbye to everyone, Gao Shun, a young man who did not smile, rarely showed a trace of warmth, and asked his wife to take care of his mother. It made the single dog Ma Hengxin on the side a little itchy.
As everyone returned to Longxi, Pang De was almost out of the customs.
Just when Ma Heng and others marched to the wild land again, Zhang Jiao, a disciple of the giant deer man named Tang Zhou, confessed that Zhang Jiao conspired to rebel, and also confessed to the internal response of the Beijing Division, the court was shocked, and hurriedly arrested the **** Yi, the **** Yi was split by the car, and the officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed the believers who believed in the Taiping Dao, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao, due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Jiao was forced to launch an uprising in advance, with the slogan of "Cangtian is dead, Huangtian should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious" as the slogan to raise troops against Han.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion thus began.
In November of the same year, in response to the Yellow Turban Uprising, in the Qiang people's gathering place, a bear strong Han stood on the hill and shouted, and tens of thousands of Qiang people around him also responded together, on the same day, the Qiang people Beigong Boyu rebelled, led tens of thousands of troops to attack Ayang County, attacked for more than ten days, stationed in Ayang County Gaixun had a good command of the army, lack of equipment siege weapons and finally returned in vain, so he turned to attack Jincheng County, with the help of the Qiang people in the city, attacked the county guard mansion and captured Jincheng County Taishou Chen Yi alive on the spot, when the Liangzhou overseer was engaged in Bian Yun and Liangzhou engaged in Han Yue were also besieged in the Xicheng camp。
"Brother Bian, Brother Han, the two great names are mighty Xiliang, why don't you participate in the grand event today, against this big man, we are willing to recommend the two as the leaders of the alliance!" I saw Beigong Boyu, who was riding a high-headed horse outside the camp in Xicheng, chanting loudly.
Looking at the dense Qiang people outside the camp, and then looking at the less than 100 wounded soldiers around them, the two of them, who were themselves Xiliang Haoqiang, naturally couldn't talk about their loyalty to the Han Dynasty, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and the two surrendered.
On the same day, in the sea of blood in the city, all kinds of burning, killing and looting, rape and plunder, everyone was allied with blood, and everyone at this time did not have much ambition, whether it was for the Qiang people Beigong Boyu, if it wasn't for the Qiang people who really couldn't live, whether it was for the Qiang people Li Wenhou who was coerced by Song Yang, and Bian Yun Hanyue, who had to surrender in order to save his life, was just to live.
Hoping that his wife and children would not be harmed, Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang, Han Yue changed his name to Han Sui, and the two of them were jointly elected as the leader of the alliance with Beigong Boyu. Kill Jincheng County Taishou Chen Yi to sacrifice the flag.
After three days of slaughtering the city, the Qiang rebel army, which had obtained a large amount of grain and grass weapons and was covered with blood, immediately became much braver, after all, the Qiang people were already quite strong.
Three days after the slaughter of the city, Bian Zhang immediately ordered to collect the knife, and the Qiang people who had gained a lot of harvest were naturally as good as flowing, Bian Zhang and Han Sui also took the remaining old Yu soldiers under their subordinates to start rectifying the army, and the two who knew that they could not turn back were also trying their best to ask for more opportunities to live, and the rabble could not resist the regular army of the Han Dynasty.
In the original Taishou Mansion, under some concessions, Bian Zhang sat at the top, Beigong Boyu and Han Sui sat on the left and right, and the rest of the people lined up. They all sat down.
"All the seized grain and grass is only enough for more than a month, so we must plan ahead of time. Han Sui in his right hand said slowly. At this moment, the army has more than 100,000 men and horses, although there are less than 5,000 awakened martial arts, but all of them can eat, and Jincheng County is not a fortress city that has hoarded a lot of food.
I saw Bian Zhang nodding heavily and said: "Then three days later, we will attack Ji County, Ji County has less than 5,000 soldiers and horses at this moment, and the Liangzhou Overseer is also a corrupt official who is unpopular with the people, and this battle will definitely be fought down." ”
The Qiang chiefs who seized a large amount of property and plundered a large number of female dependents naturally agreed.
This is to see Han Sui said slowly: "Don't be busy attacking Ji County first, Han has a righteous brother, a descendant of the Ma family, named Teng, and now he is the commander of Longxi County, why don't you send an army to invite him to hold a big event together?"
There is only one Ma in Xiliang, which is naturally Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo, and Ma Teng is also famous in Xiliang, so everyone is naturally overjoyed, and they have invited this person to do great things.
So after three days of repair, the army marched to Longxi.
Ma Heng, who always arranged secret agents to pay attention to the dynamics of the Qiang army, naturally received the information of the fast horse as early as the day the army started.
Looking at the march of the army in the direction of Longxi, Ma Heng was also puzzled for a long time, what is there to fight in Longxi? So he hurriedly took Gao Shun and Pang De and the two to rush from Wubao to Longxi County to discuss the matter with Ma Teng.
Looking at the information about the Qiang army in the envelope, Ma Teng said: "Han Sui, one of the leaders of this alliance, is very likely to be my sworn brother Han Yue, probably avoiding fame. Then he paused and said with a sinister face: "Why worry about it, if you want to fight, you will fight, 100,000 troops, it is scary to say, but there are at most 10,000 soldiers in battle, and you can't be afraid!"
Looking at Pang De Gaoshun with an approving face, Ma Heng shook his head, the three of them have fallen into a misunderstanding, yes, Longxi is not poor, but extremely rich, not to mention a large number of demon beast corpses, one-third of the dragon corpses, even in terms of the property brought by Ma Heng and the property obtained from selling demon beasts over the years is extremely rich, and the entire garrison of Longxi in addition to Ma Teng's 1,000 regular army, there are only Ma Heng's 1,000 and 5 private troops, not that Ma Heng does not want to expand more, he has property, and it is easy to recruit people and horses, it is really the strength of the Han Dynasty, of course, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is not afraid of anything。
Therefore, in the eyes of Ma Teng and others, Longxi, who has few soldiers and rich money, is a fragrant bait, but Ma Heng doesn't think so, he doesn't believe that those Qiang people have such strong intelligence capabilities. Even if there are a lot of Qiang people in Longxi now, Ma Chao is half a Qiang person. His mother is a Qiang person, but the Qiang people who are well mixed will never be interested in joining any rebel army, what kind of rebellion, that is to be killed, the Qiang people are not a nation with strong nationalism, let alone the Qiang people, except for a few Confucians who read books and 'read badly', there are few people who have any nationalist spirit today.
Saying their own speculations one after another, the three of them also nodded again and again, the army is open, naturally it will not be unprofitable, so what is the so-called Qiang army is worth pondering.
Gao Shun, who had always been a commoner, looked at the letter, then at Ma Teng, and suddenly said: "Shou Chenggong, the name is shocking Xiliang, I don't know if I can invite the public to join the gang?"
The eyes of the people in the room suddenly lit up, and they nodded their heads one after another, this guess is reliable, it is very possible.
Ma Teng's softened face was another board, "The army invites each other, if you don't agree with each other, you don't want to kill people to vent your anger, go, and order all the arms to fight." Nephew, you also go and move all the people of Wubao back to Longxi. ”
Looking at the letter, and then at Ma Teng, Ma Heng suddenly said: "What is the geometry of this big man's life?"
The room was suddenly silent, but Ma Heng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his speech became faster and faster, "People say that the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and the father is already in Han, why don't you bet on one side separately?
Ma Teng's breathing suddenly became short. He didn't think too much, this Xiliang is a border wasteland that his grandmother doesn't love and his uncle doesn't love, and he has to send a large amount of supplies to the border army every year.
Ma Heng also simply stood up and bowed to Ma Teng: "There is a lot to be done at this time, second uncle, this gang can enter!"
After a long time, Ma Teng gritted his teeth and nodded slowly.
For a while, the eyes of the four of them flashed with desire, who was not eager to be a marquis and pay homage to the general, but Ma Heng was purely staring at the 100,000 Qiang army, the 100,000 army, even if there were only 10,000 or 20,000 left, it would be a hundred battles. Gotta get it in your hands!
