Chapter 361 The person who should come will always come
After the Xiliang army retreated, they followed Ma Di's previous method of dealing with Lu Bu, and turned to capture Feng Yi County and Fufeng County, taking the three auxiliaries and two auxiliaries; then Chen sent troops to Jing Zhaoyin to threaten Chang'an.
The situation in Guanzhong has reached a stalemate.
Ma Su is not anxious about this at all. At this stage, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which has a huge advantage in arms, is almost invincible in the world and cannot be faced by a mere 8,000 infantrymen.
The most important thing at the moment is to hold on to Chang'an without losing anything. As long as the basics are stabilized, there will always be an opportunity to deal with the Xiliang army for a long time to come.
Hedong County, Jie County.
Jie County is not famous yet. It will be known to the world after Guan Yu becomes famous. When Guan Yu met Liu Bei, he called himself Hedong Jie Liangren (Hedong County, Jie County, Liangren), referring to this place.
Yu Fuluo, the right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu, led his army to live here for several years.
Yufuluo was the son of the Qiangqu Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu. He was established as King Youxian when he came of age. In the early years of Zhongping, the imperial court mobilized the troops of the Southern Xiongnu to suppress uprisings in various places, and Yufuluo led his troops to the Central Plains.
In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), because the Southern Xiongnu sent troops to help the Han Dynasty many times, the tribe was dissatisfied and feared that the Han Dynasty would continue to recruit troops, so they rebelled, killed the Qiangqu Chanyu, and established Xubu Guduhou as the new Chanyu.
Yu Fuluo went to the capital to meet Liu Hong and requested to send troops to help restore the country. Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty was critically ill, and the matter was not resolved, so Yu Fuluo stayed in Hedong.
By this year, Yu Fuluo had been stranded in Han Dynasty for seven years. When Yu Fuluo was bored, he joined the White Wave Army of the Yellow Turban remnant party in rebellion and attacked Taiyuan and the counties in Hedong. The people in Hedong armed themselves to protect themselves.
Nothing could be plundered, but the troops were damaged. He planned to return to the southern Xiongnu garrison, but was rejected by the southern Xiongnu tribe.
Yu Fuluo was tall and thick, and he was quite powerful. In terms of force alone, all the mighty generals of the five Southern Huns tribes combined could not defeat him. When he was thirty years old (180), a fortune teller passed by.
He showed him his fortune and said: "My surname is Liu Chang, and he has been the emperor for three generations."
Yufuluo was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that what the fortune teller said was "from him on, the next three generations will all be emperors", so he named his newborn son Liu Bao.
Then, while Yuvluo dreamed of becoming the emperor one day, he smiled and said to everyone he met: "Someone showed me a photo and said that I have been emperor for three generations. What are they Han Chinese in the Central Plains doing to fight? In this world
Sooner or later, it’s all mine.”
Everyone who heard this laughed at him for his whimsical ideas. Only his son Liu Bao took it seriously and often asked him: "Father, when will you become the emperor?"
After being asked more questions, Humphrey began to wonder if the fortune teller was teasing him, so he asked the elders of the clan about the matter. The elders did not make fun of him, but told him: "Even if you are destined to be an emperor,
, you must also take the initiative to fight for it. How could the emperor fall from the sky when you are sitting at home?"
At that time, it was the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and wars broke out all over the Han Dynasty, so Yuvluo actively responded to the court's call and sent troops to participate in quelling the rebellions all over the world.
Because of his bravery and positive attitude in fighting, Yuvluo was appointed by the general He Jin as the vanguard of counter-rebellion. Wherever there was a rebellion, Yuvluo was always the first to rush forward.
After fighting hard for seven or eight years, he made a lot of achievements, and the number of soldiers under his command became less and less. There were only more than 20,000 troops left. It happened that the Qiangqu Chanyu died. Yufuluo wanted to go back and fight for the throne, so he requested from the court.
To support him, he didn't expect that the imperial court would ignore him.
How can I endure this frustration?
In anger, Yuvluo turned black on the spot, joined forces with hundreds of thousands of white wave troops, and looted everywhere.
It can be seen from this that Humphrey has the common problems of most warriors. He has well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He only relies on his blood to do things, regardless of the huge waves behind him.
Not long after, when Cao Cao supported Liu Xie in Xuchang and basically controlled the Central Plains; Yuan Shaoxiong lived in Jizhou and set his sights on Hebei, Yufuluo became afraid. He felt that there was no future for him as a rebel, so he stopped joining Bai Bo's army and led his army to
Arrive at Jie County and temporarily settle in the west of Hedong County before making long-term plans.
The leader of the Baibo Army, Mrs. Guo, was angry with Yu Fuluo and repeatedly threatened to lead his army to attack him. Yu Fuluo panicked and had no choice but to order his generals to strengthen their defenses and be on guard.
By this time, Yuvluo had probably understood that he did not have the strength to be an emperor at all. The "three generations of emperors" mentioned by the fortune teller were probably referring to his grandson. But his son Liu Bao was only ten years old this year.
At three years old, my grandson still doesn't know where he is, so it's a bit difficult.
After Yufuluo thought about it, he realized that Hedong was not a place to stay for a long time. To the north, there was the powerful general Lu Bu in Bingzhou, and he didn't even dare to look at it. To the south of Henan was the territory of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, and he didn't even dare to get involved.
Finally, Yuvluo set his sights on Guanzhong, the land west of Hexi.
In order to determine whether his plan was reliable, Humphrey sent for a fortune teller to ask for divination.
The fortune teller made a divination on the spot and told Yu Fuluo, "If you go to Chang'an, you will have a lot of harvest. Everyone will gain fame, wealth, wealth and beauty."
After the fortune teller left, Yu Fulo called his generals, imitating the behavior of Han commanders, frowning and asked: "I want to advance into Guanzhong as a place to stay, but Sili Colonel Cai Yong and Xiliang Ma Teng
We are currently fighting outside the city of Chang'an. If we attack Chang'an, who do you think we should help? And where should we attack from?"
When the generals heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything.
Of course, it’s not that they cherish their words like gold. The people who can be called by Yuvroud to discuss matters are his confidants, all of them are powerful generals with well-developed limbs and simple minds like him. How can these generals know where to go from here?
Marching into the army? In their opinion, it would be over if they rode horses and boats and fought all the way into Chang'an.
They were from the Southern Xiongnu. The tribe particularly valued martial arts over literature. Most of the tribesmen were a bunch of illiterate and reckless men. From childhood to adulthood, they just went to herd and hunt every day. If they didn't like anyone, they would just rush to them with their weapons.
When fighting on the opponent's territory, why should we analyze which way to go?
As for whom to help? Is this a question that needs to be asked? Of course, they will all be defeated! First, help the weak party to defeat the strong party, then turn around and defeat this and other weak parties!
Therefore, after hearing Yuvroud's inquiry, his generals were stunned for a while, and then they all spoke out their suggestions.
"Chief, the Han Dynasty is now in chaos. All the princes are fighting for territory. Since the king wants to dominate Guanzhong, what are you waiting for? Let's raise our troops and set off now. This opportunity is not to be missed!"
"Yes, if we join forces with Old Man Cai and cooperate inside and outside, then Ma Teng will definitely not be able to stop us! When we defeat Ma Teng, hehehe..."
The opinions of the generals were highly unified, that is, they immediately set off to Guanzhong, first defeat Ma Chao, and then beat Cai Yong, then occupy Guanzhong, recruit troops and strengthen their strength, and then...
Hit anyone you don't like!
It has to be said that these are a group of reckless people who have nothing to do but have nothing to do, so they just want to find some corpses for themselves.
After hearing what the generals said, Humphrey was very hesitant.
He thought he had more brains than his generals, especially after staying in the Han Dynasty for seven or eight years. He always felt that it was inappropriate to rush in and do everything indiscriminately.
To become a teacher, you need to be famous.
Over the years, Yuvluo often observed the process of Han people's wars at close range, and gained quite a lot of experience. Usually, when a Han general wanted to capture a certain city or attack a certain rebel, he would jump over the formation with a horse.
He came out, first sputtered a lot of righteous and awe-inspiring words, and then waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed forward with red eyes and howling.
But the Southern Huns are not like this at all. When the Southern Huns fight, they emphasize the word "quick". Most of the time, the enemy's head is cut off before he can see his opponent's face clearly.
Moreover, Yu Fulo also learned that the old man Cai who was currently stationed in Guanzhong had a very powerful son. This man had killed Dong Zhuo and chased Lu Bu away, and he had a great reputation. This made Yu Fulo hesitate. After arriving in Guanzhong, he really
Do you want to side with Cai Yong?
"Chief, don't hesitate, let's go!"
"Now we have few troops, and the Baibo army is incompatible with us. We cannot stay east of the river for a long time. If you succeed in going here, you will be a great prince; if you fail, you will just return to your hometown. If you don't make a decision now, it will be too late when the Baibo army comes over.
!”
Yuvrou stroked the beard on his chin and sighed: "You are right, but my leader has no reason to enter the military pass!"
"If I had been a general for the Han Dynasty in countering the rebellion earlier, I would have no problem marching into Guanzhong... Now, I am no longer a general of the Han Dynasty, and marching into Guanzhong would directly offend the emperor of Xuchang...well, and Cao Cao,
Wouldn't it be terrible if he calls on all the heroes of the world to besiege us?"
Hearing this, the generals looked at each other and didn't know how to respond for a while.
"What's more, Cai Yong is an important minister of the imperial court and has an upright style. We have a history of causing trouble to the local area. If we help him, I'm afraid he will settle the score later; if we help Ma Teng, I'm afraid Ma Teng will occupy Guanzhong and become the queen.
Will annex us!"
Yuvluo said with a troubled face. If he had a little understanding of the overall situation, he would understand that he is not alone. He represents the five Xiongnu tribes. Even if Cai Yong wants to deal with him afterwards, he is not sure how to deal with the other tribes.
Before the Huns, they would never settle accounts with his queen.
Moreover, if any of his generals knew something about strategy, they could tell him that this worry was completely unfounded. At this stage, the Han people did not pay attention to foreigners such as the Xiongnu at all. As long as they showed respect, the Han people treated these foreigners very seriously.
Courtesy, if you ask for territory, give territory, if you ask for food, give food.
But it is a pity that these ministers did not realize this.
Hesitant and depressed, Yuvrou decided to wait and see again to see the situation before talking, so he ended the discussion and took his generals to the mountains and forests around Jie Liang for hunting and recreation.
Thirteen-year-old Liu Bao accompanied him.
Although Liu Bao was young, he had some brains. He had hid outside the house and overheard the discussion. Seeing that his father was unhappy along the way, he rode up to his father's horse to block the way. He looked at him and said, "Father, since
If you can't make up your mind, why not send someone to Chang'an to express your feelings to Cai Yong, saying that our southern Huns are willing to help them defeat Ma Teng and regain Guanzhong. The price is that after regaining Guanzhong, we will give us Feng Yi County north of the Wei River as a place to live.
If you think about it, they will definitely agree."
What a good idea
Why didn't I think of that!
Yuvluo's eyes lit up, he raised his hand and called his trusted clan member Ah Wu, gave some instructions, and watched the latter ride away on horseback.
Ah Wu entered Chang'an all the way and came to the lobby of the Captain's Mansion. He met Ma Di, who had been waiting for a long time, and told him all his intentions. He also specifically stated that the Southern Huns had been coerced by the Baibo Army to cause trouble to Hedong before, and they were definitely not
Voluntarily, now the leader Yuvluo has found his way back and returned to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.
Ma Su was overjoyed when he heard this. He had just been worried about how to form a cavalry to defeat Ma Teng, and someone sent tens of thousands of cavalry?!
Sure enough, as long as you stay steady, you will have a chance to win!
Ma Su took a deep breath and immediately agreed to the messenger Ah Wu's request.
Ah Wu left with a happy face.
"Brother Su, come quickly!"
Cai Yan poked his head out from behind the curtain, waved to Ma Su, then flashed and disappeared behind the curtain.
Seeing Cai Yan, Ma Su's temperament changed instantly, from a mature and steady young general to a simple-minded young man, and he quickly chased into the study.
"Brother Su, when I was shopping this morning, I saw a very interesting chess game. You must not be able to solve it!"
Cai Yan proudly took out the chess box and chessboard from the wooden cabinet, arranged the chess pieces in twos and twos, and pushed them from the table to Ma Di. Ma Di stared blankly at the familiar endgame of "Gathering of Seven Stars" on the chessboard. Sister, this is where she ran.
Are you watching the charlatan artist making a mess?
"Gathering of Seven Stars" is the "King of Chess Games" and the first of the four famous games in ancient chess records. The chess map of this game is composed of seven pieces from each side of the enemy and ourselves. The ending is often composed of seven pieces from both sides, so it is also called "Seven Stars Chess".
, "Seven Stars in Jianghu", "Seven Stars Celebrate Together", "Seven Stars Gongdou", "Seven Stars Yaocai", etc.
This game is well-conceived and full of traps. At first glance, the red side seems to have a chance of winning. The "newborn calves" in front of the chess booth often fall into the trap of the game setter due to their eagerness to win. Therefore, many Jianghu artists make a living from this game.
Magic weapon. In fact, when the game actually starts, both sides have several chances to win, and the outcome depends entirely on their respective chess skills.
Ma Su smiled slightly and said, "What if it is solved?"
Cai Yan didn't believe it, "What if we can't figure it out?"
"If you can't figure it out, everything in the future will be at your discretion."
"Well, if we can figure it out, I will listen to you in everything from now on."
"Lagou!"
"Lagou!"
The two of them finished the hook very seriously, and Cai Yan said with a smile: "Brother Su, you choose the side."
Ma Su raised his hand and reached towards the weaker Black side, observing Cai Yan's expression from the corner of his eye. When he saw her face slump, he almost knew it.
He took his hand back and placed it on the dominant red square.
Cai Yan was overjoyed, and with a calm expression on his pretty face, he said: "Brother Su, please."
Ma Su picked up the cannon and fired it: "Two cannons equal four, general!"
"Pawn 5 draws 6..."
"Four soldiers advance to one!"
"Put 6 into 1..."
"..."
After a while, Cai Yan looked at the situation where he was about to lose, with an ugly face. It turned out that the red side could really win?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"Can!"
………
After a while.
Ma Di slapped the black car in Hongshuai's face, "Sister, you lost again!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Keep losing...
"Okay!" Ma Su magnanimously changed the direction again.
…
"Snapped!"
"Sister, you lost again~"
Ma Di dropped the red piece and looked at Cai Yan with a smile.
Cai Yan's face completely collapsed this time, and he cried sadly: "I hate you, I will ignore you..."
After that, he held up the hem of his skirt with one hand and covered his face with the other and left.
The result of the game was naturally Ma Su's victory.
When he came to Cai Yan's room, he sat carelessly on the recliner, letting Xiaocui rub his shoulders and feed him snacks, while letting Cai Yan play the piano for him.
This little day highlighted the arrogance and comfort of a young man from a wealthy family.
However, when Ma Su was having a good time...
Cai Yong shook his head, immersed in the sound of the piano played by Cai Yan, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw his daughter sitting next to Jiaoweiqin with tears in her eyes. Her aggrieved expression made him, a father, feel extremely distressed just by looking at her.
The air in the room suddenly solidified, and it was eerily quiet.
Cai Yong's face was expressionless, and he turned around and looked around, as if he was looking for something handy.
Naturally, Ma Su knew what his adoptive father was looking for. He jumped out of the recliner, jumped out of the room in two steps, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Cai Yong chased after him with a stick.
"Shuzi! I'm bullying your sister again, don't leave! I'll give you a stick!"
