At this stage, the Han people are very polite to obedient foreigners. Even if the foreigners have caused trouble to the Han people before, as long as they are willing to correct themselves, the Han people are willing to accept them again and treat them well.
This idea of "being strict with good and being lenient with evil" is also the main essence of Buddhism, and was later carried forward - that is, if a person, after saving ninety-nine people in a row, suddenly refuses to die for the hundredth person,
Save, this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated by the world and is despised by all people.
And if a person, after killing ninety-nine people in a row, suddenly feels guilty and saves one person, he will be regarded as a model and praised by everyone.
In short, the Confucian-led Han Dynasty's standard for treating foreigners at this time was to "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately." No matter how many Han people these foreigners had robbed or killed, as long as they verbally expressed their willingness to obey the Han people,
, that is a good comrade, and the great powers of China will no longer care about the trivial matters in the past with them.
This idea has continued for thousands of years.
Ma Di strongly opposed this kind of thinking. He was a more sincere person and always adhered to the principle of dividing one code into another and calculating good and evil separately. If a person, after killing ninety-nine times, suddenly becomes obsessed with the 100th general.
If a dead person comes to help, Ma Su will make people praise this person's good deed vigorously and praise him to the sky...
Then cut off his head.
To repay his previous ninety-nine evil deeds.
Because of this, when he learned that Yu Fuluo intended to bring the Southern Huns cavalry to Guanzhong to help, Ma Di readily agreed, but at the same time, he also made a clear note of all the evil deeds Yu Fulu had done to harm Hedong and the Han Dynasty.
Chu.
If evil can be offset by good, then why do we need laws?
Chang'an City, Xiaowei Mansion.
Two old men and two young men sat opposite each other.
Ma Su knelt down and sat next to Cai Yong, squinting his eyes and looking at Liu Bao, who was much smaller than him, with an evil look in his eyes.
You just call me Liu Bao, right?
I've been waiting for you for a long time!
Hum hum hum. Boy, let's see!
Ma Di was secretly getting angry when Cai Yong grabbed his hand and pulled him back. It was not until Ma Di turned his attention to Yuvluo that Cai Yong smiled and touched his head, then looked at Yuvluo and said:
"This is my adopted son Su, whose courtesy name is Youchang."
Humphrey smiled and said, "I have heard his name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. He is indeed a young hero."
Ma Su looked at the crude Hu man uncle in front of him... to be precise, he was an old man - Yuvluo looked very old, with white beard and hair, and wrinkles on his face. He couldn't help but sigh: This man is really only forty-three.
How old? He looks older than his sixty-year-old adoptive father.
"Youchang, please see General Yu Fuluo soon."
Ma Di proudly raised his hand, without saying a word, and looked at Humphrey with level eyes. What's wrong with you leading troops to help? Even without you, I can still defeat Ma Teng!
"Shuzi, don't be rude to General Fuluo!"
Cai Yong saw the way Ma Su was treating his second and third children that day, so he scolded him and looked at Yuvluo helplessly, "Shu is young, he is only ten years old. I'm sorry, general, please don't do it."
Sorry."
"Ten years old? Ten years old???"
What did you eat growing up?
Yuvluo's eyes widened, and he stood up quickly. He looked down at Ma Di, who was larger than an adult. His voice changed slightly, "Mr. Cai, you said he is ten years old?"
"Exactly."
"Oh, what a gift..."
Ma Su couldn't stand the feeling of being looked down upon, so he immediately stood up, looked back with his height advantage, and looked at Humphreys calmly.
Now he is more than eight feet tall and is the tallest person in the whole room.
"Young Master Ling is so amazing, Mr. Cai really teaches you well." Yu Fulo glanced at Liu Bao, who still looked like a child, and felt really envious in his heart.
Look at other people's sons. They can kill Dong Zhuo at the age of eight, drive away Lu Bu at the age of nine, and fight Ma Teng at the age of ten...
Looking at my son again, I am really speechless.
"Haha, prize after prize, please sit down and talk, General Humphrey."
Cai Yong stroked his beard with a smile. After Yifuluo sat down again, he looked at Ma Su's appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This son is really capable. There has never been a young man as good as him since ancient times. If he
It would be great if he didn't bully his sister.
"Mr. Cai, you must already know the purpose of my visit this time. Everyone is responsible for the crisis in the country. I, Yu Fuluo, once served as the counter-rebellion general of the Han Dynasty, and I have the obligation to help the court expel the Xiliang rebels. However, I
In addition to more than 20,000 cavalry, the tribe also has tens of thousands of tribesmen, and they still have no place to stay."
"this."
Cai Yong frowned and looked at Ma Su unconsciously. He knew that his military ability was not very good. In this kind of matter, he must first ask Ma Su's opinion before making a decision. But now in front of outsiders, he
It was not easy to ask Ma Su for his opinion, so he had to bite the bullet and say it.
"I wonder what General Huvroud means?"
"Feng Yijun!"
Cai Yong glanced at Ma Su again, and when he saw the latter nodding, he said: "Of course, the general can lead his people to Feng Yi County at any time. Not only Feng Yi, but also anywhere north of the Weishui River can live!"
"So good, so good!"
The topic after that was no longer about Ma Su, so Cai Yong waved his hand and signaled Ma Su and Liu Bao to go out, and talked with Yu Fuluo about a series of issues after the Huns settled in Feng Yi County. In addition to official placement issues and defense issues,
There is also the issue of how to deal with the Xiliang Army's offensive. At present, the Xiliang Army has occupied both sides of the Wei River west of Chang'an, including Fufeng, Beidi County, and part of Fengyi County. War can happen anytime and anywhere. If
Without formulating corresponding joint response measures, once the Xiliang Army suddenly launches an attack on a certain party, coordination errors will occur. In serious cases, the other party may even seize the flaw and inflict heavy damage.
Ma Di waved to Liu Bao, who was sitting beside them without saying a word, and walked out first.
Liu Bao hurriedly got up and chased him out. He came to the yard and looked at Ma Su curiously.
"Su, are you really only ten years old?"
Ma Su glanced at him sideways, "Really!"
"You are so big..."
The child Liu Bao exclaimed, stretched out his hand and poked the muscles on Ma Su's arm, "Can you tell me what you ate when you grew up? You are really big..."
Ma Su smiled slightly, raised his arms and made a pose, and said with a smile: "Big? I'm not only big, I'm also tough! If you don't believe me, you can pinch me."
Liu Bao squeezed it quickly and nodded his head, "Yeah, yeah, it's so hard!"
After experiencing the hardness of Ma Su's muscles, Liu Bao turned and raised his head and asked: "Su, can you tell me how you killed Dong Zhuo and drove away Lu Bu?"
"Then it's a long story..." Ma Su cleared his throat, found a stone pier and sat down, and eloquently boasted about the glorious history of the time when "there were thousands of troops and one general, so it was not difficult to find something in the bag".
After boasting about killing Dong Zhuo, Ma Di began to brag about how he had beaten Lu Bu's head to pieces, and then begged for peace and "escaped" to Bingzhou.
After a long and embellished speech, Ma Di successfully portrayed himself as a "god man", and Liu Bao knelt down on the spot.
He half-knelt on the ground, raised his hands with a solemn expression and said, "Su, can I be your little brother?"
"Uh... well... it's not impossible. You look like a capable young man, but what are your abilities? I don't want a useless boy." Ma Di looked at Liu Bao hesitantly and decided to listen.
Let’s talk about what the latter is capable of.
"I, I can herd cattle and ride horses!" Liu Bao said hesitantly.
"No more?" Ma Su was surprised, what kind of skill is this? As long as the Huns are children, who can't herd cows and ride horses?
"And more, I can shoot and hunt!"
"that's it?"
"That's all~"
Ma Su shook his head with a look of disgust, "Then you are not very good at this. You are not qualified to be my little brother, Marquis Lu Hun."
Hearing this, Liu Bao suddenly looked frustrated. He lowered his head, twisted the corners of his clothes, frowned and thought about his strengths.
Suddenly, he suddenly raised his head and said, "There are 20,000 warriors in my tribe, and they only listen to my and my father's orders. Is this... considered an advantage?"
"..."
Ma Su was silent for a moment and said loudly: "What did I just say? You look like a capable young man! Sure enough, I was right. From now on, you are my little brother!"
Perhaps this Liu Bao was only thirteen years old, or perhaps the things Liu Bao did in the original time and space were not too bad. After Ma Di interacted with this boy with bright eyes, he did not feel disgusted, but instead felt disgusted.
He felt like they were close to each other. You know, when he saw Wei Zhongdao, he was extremely annoyed.
Before coming to Chang'an, Ma Di originally prepared many means to deal with Liu Bao, but after the two people's simple exchange just now, he suddenly realized that those means were no longer necessary.
In this way, Liu Bao became Ma Su's younger brother.
"Father, I want to stay in Chang'an!"
"I want to learn my skills from Su's father Cai Gong so that I can better lead our clan in the future!"
After making up his mind, Liu Bao immediately ran into the room and told Fulo his plan.
Seeing that in order to persuade Yu Fuluo to allow him to stay, Liu Bao even used the pretense of studying with Cai Yong, Ma Di was filled with emotion.
Cai Yong is a world-recognized great scholar with a wealth of knowledge. Being able to learn knowledge from such a person has always been the dream of most young people in the world.
People in this era have a crazy desire for knowledge, and their self-consciousness in learning is ridiculously high! There are some perverts like having their heads hung from a beam and having a cone stabbing their buttocks; there are also those who travel thousands of miles to seek advice from great sages in order to figure out a problem.
Scholars are completely different from those of later generations. What to study? What homework to do? Wouldn’t it be nice to play a game, and wouldn’t it be nice to lie down?
This little brother has a future!
Humphrey looked at his serious-looking son and sighed, his expression a little complicated.
".Have you decided?"
"Yes, Father!"
"Then Duke Lao Cai will teach the dog." Yu Fulo turned to look at Cai Yong.
Cai Yong nodded, "I will take care of your son's affairs. This is a matter of great importance..."
"Wrap it around me!" Humphrey promised, patting his chest.
"Okay! Okay! Come, let's serve food and wine!"
Cai Yong clapped his hands and said with a smile, "General, you are indeed worthy of being the first person in the Xiongnu tribe who loves the Han Dynasty. I will definitely report it to the Ming court and praise you. Come on, you will not come home if you don't get drunk today!"
"Mr. Cai please!"
"General please"
…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Sili Xiaowei Mansion, outer courtyard.
Ma Su held a long spear and practiced the marksmanship taught by Zhu Heng in full swing.
Liu Bao sat blankly in the pavilion, saying nothing.
His father Humphrey had been gone for several days.
Of course, he was in a daze not because he missed his father, but for other reasons.
"What are you thinking about?" After practicing his marksmanship, Ma Su put away his gun and came to the pavilion, wiping the sweat from his forehead with doubts in his eyes.
"Nothing, nothing."
Liu Bao left the pavilion in a panic, as if he was running away.
Different from the tents where the Huns lived every day, the room in Xiaowei Mansion was deserted and surprisingly quiet. Occasionally, a few maids with very light footsteps would hurried past the room.
Liu Bao sat on a stool in the room in the outer courtyard, resting his chin on the table with his hands, looking straight at a certain place, and the pretty figure he saw before kept appearing in front of his eyes.
Just now, when Ma Su was practicing martial arts, there was a girl in green clothes who was "fair-skinned and beautiful, with a graceful figure and a graceful temperament." She stopped in the corridor and watched for a long time.
Although Liu Bao had never seen this girl before, he guessed her identity, Cai Yong's eldest daughter, Cai Yan!
Seeing such a woman with equal parts beauty and temperament, the young man felt a little confused.
"What are you thinking about?"
Liu Bao was startled, raised his head, and saw Ma Di standing in front of him, with his hands behind his back, staring down at him, his eyes full of inquiry.
"Su? Why are you following me?"
To this day, Liu Bao is still not used to calling Ma Su by name. The Huns always call him by his first name.
"There's something wrong with you. Let me come over and see if you have done anything to feel sorry for me?"
When Liu Bao heard this, he immediately panicked and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no... I didn't peek at your sister."
"What did you see?" Ma Di asked expressionlessly.
The young man Liu Bao glanced at Ma Su cautiously, not seeing whether the latter was angry, and suddenly felt a little unsure, "Your sister is very beautiful... I have never seen such a beautiful woman..."
"Well, what else did you see?"
"No, no, I swear I didn't look around... I didn't look below the face." Liu Bao's words were filled with inexplicable panic, and he didn't know what he was panicking about.
Ma Su patted him on the shoulder, "Well, I believe you!"
After a pause, the words changed, "What color dress is my sister wearing today?"
"White..." Liu Bao blurted out, and when he realized that he had made a mistake, he quickly changed his words, "I, I didn't see clearly."
"Well, I believe you!" Ma Su's face was still very calm.
"Su, are you not angry?"
"No!"
Hearing this, Liu Bao felt relieved.
Ma Su suddenly suggested: "Bao Bao, haven't you always wanted to learn marksmanship from me... Let's go, I'll teach you!"
"Really? Great! Let's go!"
Liu Bao ejected from his chair and came to the yard excitedly.
Ma Su took two long sticks, gave him one, and explained, "To learn a gun, you need to learn a stick first. Come on, you attack me. Let's spar first and let me feel your skills."
"good!"
Liu Bao shook off his long stick and looked at Ma Su fearlessly, "I'm going to attack!"
Ma Su just stood there carelessly, "Very good, let the horse come over!"
"Yeah~~" Liu Bao shouted, picked up the stick and smashed it towards Ma Di's pocket.
Ma Su turned aside and easily dodged the attack, and struck Liu Bao on the back with a backhand stick. He controlled the force and only made him take a step forward.
Then, swing the long stick, and there will be a storm of high-frequency output.
"Looking at the sun through the clouds, the wild horses are parting their manes!"
"Yaksha explores the sea, Erlang carries the mountain!"
"Sweep across thousands of armies, smash walnuts with sticks!"
"Sun Wukong beat the nails on the ground with his stick in anger!
"
A series of fancy move names popped out of Ma Su's mouth, accompanied by a dense, scalp-numbing sound of the stick hitting the skin and flesh.
Liu Bao was quickly beaten into a pig's head.
After a while.
Liu Bao, whose head was swollen into a pig's head, sat on the ground with his hands on the ground, looking at Ma Di resentfully, and then realized, "You must have been angry just now!"
"No."
"You are obviously angry!"
"Absolutely not!"
"I finally know why you want to teach me stick skills."
"Um?"
"You're taking the opportunity to hit me!"
"No, you must have the illusion that I am training your ability to resist being hit. Have you forgotten that I once told you that the first element of learning martial arts is to learn to be beaten before you learn to hit others."
"Is this really the case?"
"Is such that!"
"But my head hurts so much, I'm still dizzy, and my ears are ringing... Oooh, you're too harsh!" Liu Bao, who was still a teenager, couldn't help crying.
Ma Su patiently consoled him: "How can a man shed tears because of a mere pain? These minor injuries will be over with patience."
