Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

In Chengdu, the morning light was dim, and a heavy sound came from a house, startling several birds on the tree.

"You are trying to kill me——"

It is hard to imagine that the person who chanted such a sentence was a man with cheeks as clean as white jade.

His electric eyes are as bright as a shooting star, his strong muscles, slender limbs, toned abdominal muscles and well-proportioned waist, coupled with his magnetic voice, and his powerful arms.

Such a man simply fulfills all the fantasies that women of this era have about their lover.

He is Ma Chao, and people say "Jin Ma Chao". From a distance, he is indeed worthy of the word "Jin"!

Standing in front of him was a man with a leopard's head, ringed eyes, and a tiger's beard. He was Zhang Fei.

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

Zhang Fei waved his hand, "You are my eldest brother's general, how could I put you to death? I am clearly giving you a great contribution!"

Ma Chao frowned, "Then you want me to go to Xiabian City? Do you know that there are 20,000 Wei troops in Xiabian City, including my mortal enemies Yang Fu, Zhao Ang... and that woman Wang Yi!"

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

It seems to be thinking of a certain unbearable past on the battlefield!

A woman used tricks to block his attacks nine times, what a shame.

Ma Chao's tone became more serious, "Besides them, I heard that Cao Cao also sent his clansman Cao Xiu with 30,000 troops to support him. If you ask me to go alone, there is no way to survive? Isn't this a suicide?"

"I'm not willing to let you die! Hahaha..." Zhang Fei said quickly, and explained with a smile: "Cao Xiu arrived at Xiabian City, it was the year of the monkey, and now Xiabian City has 20,000 soldiers. Half of the people here are Di tribe, you are familiar with the Di tribe... When you joined my elder brother, weren’t the Xiliang cavalry under you from the Yang Wanwan tribe of the Di tribe?”

Yang Wanwan is Ma Chao's lieutenant and a member of the "White Horse Di people" of the Di tribe.

You know... Later, this Baima Di tribe established the "Qianqiuchi Kingdom", and the famous Northern Wei Dynasty general Yang Dayan belonged to their family.

Because Ma Chao's mother is a Qiang, and Qiang and Di share the same origin, Ma Chao has been close to the Qiang and Di people since he was a child.

These Qiang and Di people also admired his martial arts, which is why Yang Wanwan's group joined Ma Chao.

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

However, Zhang Fei's words could not convince Ma Chao.

"There are too many Di tribes." Ma Chao's voice was low. "Yang Wanwan is a Di tribe in Baima, but the Di tribe in Xiabencheng is a Lei Dong tribe. They have already surrendered to the Cao thief... to help the tyrants!"

"It doesn't matter!" Zhang Fei seemed to be full of confidence, "Aren't there only those four Di tribes in Wudu? One is Agui, the Di king of Xingguo, who lives in Xingguo City, and the second is Yang Wanwan, the Di king of Baiqing, who lives in Xingguo City. Qiu Chishan, the third one is Lei Ding from Xia Bian Di, who has more than 10,000 soldiers in seven divisions, and the last one is Dou Mao, King of Di in Hechi!"

Zhang Fei was like a treasure trove, "Four years ago, Agui and Yang Wanwan followed you, Ma Meng, to rebel against Cao Cao's thieves. Agui died in the battle, and Agui's tribe was forcibly incorporated by Cao Cao. Later, Dou Mao, the king of Di in Hechi, led Cao Cao to conquer Hanzhong. When they blocked the road, they were defeated by Cao Cao, and the entire tribe was slaughtered...the desert was dyed red with blood!"

"Now...Cao Cao only has the seven Leiding troops in Xiabian City and the remnants of Agui...the number of these people is probably more than 10,000...calculating this, the real Wei army in Xiabian City How many are there? Besides, the four Di tribes of Wudu rebelled against Cao Cao's three tribes. What about the last one? How could they be sincerely loyal? They were just forbearing. They were in awe just waiting for you, Ma Mengqi, to rush over and raise your arms. You, I will definitely listen to you! This is a battle without bloodshed!"

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

In the end, he was spitting and spitting, which landed directly in Ma Chao's face.

Ma Chao didn't bother to wipe his face. He looked at Zhang Fei in surprise, although... Zhang Fei's proposal of "riding alone into the lower level" was a bit risky and a bit nonsense.

But he couldn't stand it. After his clear analysis, this proposal actually began to make sense.

Even...Zhang Fei's understanding of the Di tribe was completely beyond Ma Chao's expectations. This was what made him most unbelievable.

"wing…"

Before Ma Chao's words could be uttered, Zhang Fei wiped his mouth, and his loud voice once again drowned out Ma Chao, not giving Ma Chao a chance to speak.

"Didn't Cao Cao massacre the Di people last year? What if now, Cao Cao wants to plunder the Di people again? Then taking advantage of this opportunity, as long as you, Ma Mengqi, raise your arms in the city, who will not respond? ?So, if you ride alone and enter the lower level...how can this be sending you to death? How can it be putting you to death? This is clearly a great contribution from me!"

this…

Ma Chao became more and more interested in Zhang Fei's words as he listened to them.

Especially...Cao Cao massacred the city!

In particular, Ma Chao's prestige among the Di people.

etc.

Ma Chao suddenly realized something, and he quickly asked: "Yide? Last year, Cao Cao massacred the Di people in Hechi, but how do you know, how do you judge... This year they are going to plunder the Di people in Xia Bian again?"

Ma Chao was stubborn. After thinking for such a long time, he also captured something from Zhang Fei's words.

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

this…

Zhang Fei reached out and knocked on his forehead, muttering in his heart.

——‘How should I answer this? 』

Yes, Zhang Fei could tell Liu Bei and Fazheng that it was written in Guan Linna's "God of War", but Ma Chao... how could he know what "God of War" was, or what his "original biography" of Zhang Fei was?

So how to explain this?

Zhang Fei scratched his head, but his eyes were fixed and he simply lied:

"Meng Qi, don't you know this? I have an informant in Xiaben City, a high official... He told me that within a month, the Wei army will plunder the Di tribe in Xiaben City, and the thunderous The seven tribes are full of complaints!"

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

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

One was last year, the 20th year of Jian'an:

——"Cao Cao led troops to conquer Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. His generals entered Di from Wudu and blocked the road. Cao Cao sent generals to defeat them and massacre them!"

This is King Di of Hechi who was slaughtered.

The second one is in February this year, which is the next month:

——"At the beginning of the 21st year of Jian'an, Xia Houyuan counterattacked the military capital Di Qiang Yu Xia Bian and harvested more than 100,000 dendrobium from Di Valley!"

Taking into account the continuous battles and the actual situation in Wudu City, more than 100,000 dendrobium... This is definitely not a conquest, it must be a robbery!

And robbed it cleanly.

In this way, one is massacring the city, and the other is robbing food...

Zhang Fei had already memorized these, and he also made a plan to acquire "Xiaben City" according to the time point of "the beginning of the year". You know... this is a full year earlier than in history.

Listening to Zhang Fei's words, Ma Chao felt confused.

Speaking of which, he was a little doubtful.

But Zhang Fei's words, Zhang Fei's confidence, and Zhang Fei's understanding of the Di tribe all gave Ma Chao an inexplicable and huge sense of trust in him!

this…

For a moment, as the lone rider entered Xiabian, Ma Chao hesitated, hesitated, and hesitated.

For a moment, he actually felt...Zhang Fei's method was not feasible at all!

Again, this is a huge credit!

What Ma Chao lacks today is credit.

…

…

Zhang Fei left. He, who was always not good at words, felt that he had spent half his life talking to Ma Chao.

For the first time, he felt that speaking was so difficult!

But Ma Chao still hasn't made a decision.

Zhang Fei didn't dare to push him into a hurry, so he said he would come again.

After Zhang Fei left, Ma Chao returned to the inner room and opened the door lightly.

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

Ma Chao said to them: "Did you all hear the conversation I had with the three generals just now?"

"I heard it." Ma Dai nodded, "Foolish brother thinks that this is an opportunity. With my brother's prestige among the Di people, if it is true as the third general said... the information that the Di people are about to be robbed is accurate, then... brother If you ride into Xiaben alone, you will indeed have a chance to persuade the Di tribe to surrender, and capture the city of Xiaben without bloodshed."

Ma Yunlu shook her head. She was more worried about Ma Chao's safety than making meritorious service. "It's still too risky. What if...what if the leader of the Biandi tribe, Lei Dong, is a man who covets wealth? Then will he...capture his brother and hand it over to Cao Cao in exchange for glory and wealth...no matter what No matter what, it’s still too risky.”

Ma Dai is the younger brother of Ma Chao. To be precise, he is the "conong younger brother". He is the son of an uncle in the Ma clan in Fufeng.

Compared to Ma Chao's sharp edge, he is more witty and restrained...

Ma Yunlu is Ma Chao's only sister with the same mother and father. She is the closest person to Ma Chao in the world besides his mother.

You know, Ma Chao's mother is a Qiang, and she is a concubine. Ma Chao is the eldest son...but he is the embarrassing eldest son!

Ma Chao's aunt was not kind to Ma Chao, and his father Ma Teng also paid more attention to his two aunts, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.

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

For a descendant of a general like the Ma family, the word "concubine" can cover up all the light belonging to his brothers and sisters, no matter how brave they are and how prestigious they are...

Therefore... Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu had a very difficult time growing up.

This also created the dependence of the brothers and sisters on each other.

At this moment, Ma Chao looked at Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu meaningfully, and said with emotion: "One of you is brave and knowledgeable, the other is careless, Yunlu... You should learn more from your brothers, you say risk? But now In our situation, how can we get ahead if we don’t take risks? How can we be reused if we don’t take risks? Uncle Liu Huang... suffered from Lu Bu's betrayal in the past. If we can't show absolute loyalty and make great achievements, then... I'm afraid we will never be able to do anything in Bashu. It’s your first day!”

Ma Chao is not a model of intelligence in this era, but he is not stupid either. 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, including the Yuanlao Faction, Jingzhou Faction, Dongzhou Faction, Yizhou Faction... These factions are harmonious on the surface, but in fact they all want to show off in front of Liu Bei and strive for more benefits for their respective factions.

But what faction is Ma Chao?

He has no faction!

He is a descendant, or a descendant.

But because of "Lu Bu's" lessons learned, Liu Bei... the most afraid of using is to "lead troops into groups" of reduced generals.

It is no exaggeration to say that since the capture of Yizhou, Ma Chao has been sitting on the bench. Even his position is only a nominal general, a false position, without any real power and no opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Even...all factions are afraid of Ma Chao taking credit.

So he told Liu Bei that Ma Chao had betrayed his father, a person who could betray even his father? Who else cannot betray? Can you be entrusted with important responsibilities?

"well…"

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

"Brother still cares too much about other people's opinions..."

Ma Yunlu felt that Ma Chao was in a bad mood and quickly comforted him.

"Those stupid ones..." Ma Dai also felt dissatisfied...

It seems that the words of those civil servants and military generals and the rumors in the market have been tormenting these descendants of the "Fufeng Maoling Ma family"!

These are the descendants of General Fubo Ma Yuan.

Especially Ma Chao, Cha Cha...he is also a person who values ​​other people's opinions very much.

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

"No need to say any more..." Ma Chao suddenly stretched out his hand and slowly raised his arm, "In the past, I recognized Han Sui as my father and killed my father and brothers. From then on, the world regarded me, Ma Chao, as a scourge... Hanzhong counselors said that I ——'If someone doesn't love his own relatives, how can he love others?' This will prevent me from marrying Zhang Lu's daughter, Zhang Qiying, the saint of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect..."

"I want to join Liu Zhang in Yizhou, but the Confucian scholar in Yizhou said that I am 'brave but not benevolent, and have no regard for righteousness when I see him, so I cannot be a friend. If I are lured close to him, I will be raising a tiger and will bring trouble to myself'... That's what he said , some comments made Liu Zhang’s heart to join me!”

"I crusaded against Cao Cao and helped the Han Dynasty, but I was betrayed by the Confucian scholars in Guanzhong. An eighty-year-old old woman pointed at my nose and cursed, 'You are a traitor to your father and a traitor to the king. How can heaven and earth tolerate you for a long time? You, instead of dying early, dare to look at others with their faces!'"

Speaking of which…

"Hahahaha..." Ma Chao smiled bitterly. This laughter was extremely sad.

This laughter also made Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai feel sad.

The two looked at their brother with great distress.

It’s hard to imagine that Ma Chao remembered all these words he used to criticize Ma Chao word for word...remembered them clearly.

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

This topic seemed to touch the most vulnerable part of Ma Chao's heart at once, making him unable to help but express all the pain in his heart.

this…

Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu looked at each other, and then... fell into a long silence.

finally…

After a hundred breaths passed, and seeing Ma Chao's expression getting better and his mood calming down a bit, Ma Yunlu gritted his teeth and asked, "You can tell what I mean... I have decided to go to the defense alone." A city?"

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

Ma Chao sighed and did not answer.

But my heart seemed to say no more.

——"Do I have any choice?" 』

Yes, Ma Chao has no choice in his current situation.

He kept asking himself.

——‘In this world? Does anyone still understand the horses in Xiliang? Understand everything he ever did! He... has never been an unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust person! 』

At this point, Ma Chao has closed his eyes. He seems to be meditating, but in fact... he is feeling the injustice of fate!

So...the question is?

In this era, does anyone really understand Ma Chao?

Does anyone understand his behavior of forcing his father and brothers to die in Xu Ducheng because of his rebellion against Cao Cao?

Does anyone understand what he is pursuing in his life?

Maybe... there is?

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

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

In "life and death", in "life and death"!

…

…

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

And then drink…

As time went by, Guan Lin suddenly felt tired.

——Very boring!

He felt that these beauties, dances, piano music, fine wines... were hollowing out his body day by day, corroding his dream of restoring the Han Dynasty, leaving only a handsome skin.

So...Guan Lin had a new hobby.

Listen to books…

Yes, it’s the kind of storyteller book!

This is a hobby that Guan Lin has had for a long time. Once upon a time, under the Victory Bridge in Jiangling City... Guan Lin liked to find a tea stall, sit there, and listen to people's stories leisurely.

It is worth mentioning that when I listened to it at that time, I heard that there was a cheating "Donkey Riding Huang Chengyan".

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

His storytelling skills are also top-notch.

Speaking of which…

——"The Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty"

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

As the name suggests...this book records a large number of heroic deeds of people of this era.

Many of them were modified under Guan Lin's suggestions.

For example, Xun Yu and Wang Can in history were in the Cao Wei camp. "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" naturally could not discredit Cao Wei, so... some stories that undermined Cao Cao's wisdom were deleted.

It’s different now, everything that needs to be added has to be added, and everything that needs to be black has to be black...

This is what the people like to hear.

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

Now, Wang Can has just told a new round of storytelling...the entire story of Xun Yu.

Guan Lin was okay. Zhang Xingcai on the side was crying like pear blossoms and raining. His whole head was buried in Guan Lin's chest. Guan Lin felt that his chest was wet...

In the cry of "woo woo"...

Guan Lin sighed with emotion: "If this story about Xun Lingjun... is published to the north and the Central Plains, then... Cao Wei will be greatly disappointed among the scholars."

Following Guan Lin's words, Wang Can opened his mouth: "We have stepped up printing according to the young master's instructions... If nothing unexpected happens, in two months, it will be enough to spread this article throughout the north!"

Guan Lin nodded...

While patting Zhang Xingcai's back, he continued to give instructions, "The truest side of Xun Lingjun. Xun Lingjun did not commit suicide, but was forced to death by Cao Cao. It should not be buried..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin comforted Zhang Xingcai, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore, don't cry anymore. Yesterday, we were still the heroes of women who were 'drunk by drinking alone'? Why do you cry so much when you listen to a story today?" It's not like you to cry like pear blossoms with rain!"

Guan Lin's words... seemed to have no effect on comforting Zhang Xingcai.

The sobbing sounds continued continuously.

On the other hand, Wang Can looked up at Guan Lin, opened his mouth, but still closed it, as if he had something to say but hesitated.

Ruan Yu, who was also one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, guessed something when he saw his appearance, and simply helped to remind him.

"Did Zhongxuan (Wang Can) get burned on his mouth? How come he opens and closes it, hesitates to speak, and hesitates? Why is this..."

After being reminded by Ruan Yu, Guan Lin also noticed.

He quickly asked Wang Can, "What? It's the story of Xun Yu that I insist on adding to "The Legend of Heroes"... Is there anything wrong with it?"

"It's not Xun Lingjun..." Wang Can pondered again before opening his mouth, "It's a character I wrote about recently. He... is quite controversial and has a reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial, but... he is actually a general of Bashu. If true, If I write it down, I am afraid that people in the world will criticize him even more with words and writings, so... I hesitated over and over again, not knowing how to write."

Well…

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

Guan Lin said calmly: "Let me guess. He has been accused of being unfaithful and unfilial. He is also a general of Bashu and has been criticized by everyone in the world. It must be Xiliang Jin Ma Chao... Ma Meng is in trouble, right?"

After being guessed by Guan Lin, Wang Can nodded, "I can't hide it from Young Master Yunqi. When Ma Chao rebelled against Cao Cao, his father Ma Teng was still a guard in Xudu, and his two brothers were also in Xudu. His cavalry rebelled... He recognized Han Sui as his father, causing his father's brothers and clan members to be exterminated... 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, raised his head and said firmly: "Of course, I can bet that in this world, Ma Chao can be understood. Maybe I, Guan Lin, am the only one who got up!"

That’s right…

——This unfaithful, unfilial and unjust Ma Chao was criticized verbally and written by later generations of literati;

——This Ma Chao was criticized by various public accounts in later generations for being cruel, ruthless, and unjust;

——This Ma Chao, who has been hacked for thousands of years, cheated his father and family as much as Lu Bu...

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

In fact, this is almost as good as grandma's house.

…

…
