Ma Teng had people carry the gifts sent by Chen Cheng back to the backyard, and said to Ma Yunlu and Ma Tie: "You two each, use them to make some clothes, and keep the rest."
The children all took the silk and cloth with happy faces, but Ma Chao refused to take it. Ma Teng asked Ma Yunlu and the others to go down first, and then dismissed the family servants, and then said to Ma Chao: "You still want to kill
Got them?"
Ma Chao held his head high and said: "We are now strong in strength. We can just go and get whatever we want. Why should we care about these people who have escaped from Luoyang City?"
Ma Teng said: "What do you know?"
Ma Chao was angry in his heart and shouted: "I only know that a man should not be inferior to others!"
"Hey, everyone can talk big words, but not everyone can do big things. If you are not convinced, go to the county and see more, see what other people say."
Chen Cheng returned to the county government office, took out the bamboo slips and continued to write down his experiences and experiences in Luoyang. Regarding what happened, he tried to write as objectively and neutrally as possible, only writing how things happened without adding any subjective imagination. When he wrote
When she was picking up things, Liu Qian was working hard to read on the side.
Of course, the characters are simplified characters. There are too many strokes in characters in this era, which is very troublesome to write. Chen Cheng has wanted to reform the characters for a long time, but he has never had the chance. Now that Liu Qian has nothing else to do, he will
I wrote a few simplified characters and characters from this era, matched them one by one, and then gave them to Liu Qian to identify.
Liu Qian was named the Princess of Ten Thousand Years. She was educated when she was in the palace and could already recognize many words. She compared the fifteen words "Heaven and Earth, Lord, Master, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, Sun, Moon, Wind, Cloud and I"
I recited the words once, and then carefully wrote them on the piece of wood with a brush.
Chen Cheng didn't ask why she came out of Luoyang City with him, but since he brought her out, he must be responsible for her. At least, he must make her a useful person.
In the morning, she would study essays or practice martial arts. In the afternoon, Yan Zhong would teach her some customs and customs of Liangzhou. Chen Cheng would visit the leading figures in the county, including but not limited to the county prime minister, the county captain, the chief bookkeeper, and the county officials.
A wealthy family.
After all, Pengyang is close to Sanfu. Although there are many mountains and few plains in the territory, there are still some powerful Han people in the county. Chen Cheng has outstanding appearance and good conversation, and he quickly gained the favor of the powerful Han people in the county. However, they also secretly
Expressing dissatisfaction with Qiangteng, saying that it has invaded their fields and so on.
Every time at this time, Chen Cheng would talk to people about him, or talk about the general trend of the world, or talk about some experiences in Luoyang City, or predict the future situation. He was very eloquent and knowledgeable, as long as there was no
Conflicts of interest make it easy to gain the trust and favor of others.
But these are not the most important reasons. After all, Xiliang is different from the Central Plains. Literary people will certainly be respected by others, but only strong force is the most reliable guarantee. On the fourth day, Chen Cheng took Liu Qian
He went to the school field outside the city and shot a few arrows at will, which made all the powerful men bow to him and made Ma Chao even more hostile to him.
In the past few days, news from Luoyang has also reached Xiliang. The death of the emperor, the fire in Luoyang, the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the change of Yuan Dynasty were all major events that shocked the world. As expected, He Jin took all the blame
They were all blamed on Chen Cheng and the eunuchs, and Chen Cheng was accused of "bewitching the master with sorcery", "affiliating the eunuch", "capturing the princess", "burning Luoyang", "looting with troops", "murdering"
"Common people" and other crimes, and offered three thousand gold to buy his head.
"Commander Father, there's a notice posted in Chang'an," Ma Chao said, "It says that whoever offers the head of Thief Chen will receive a reward of three thousand gold!"
Ma Teng looked at him and said: "Han Sui is gathering troops and horses in Hanyang County. It is said that dozens of leaders of the Qiang and Hu tribes have responded to his call. Soldiers and horses from Longxi are also concentrating on Hanyang. Ji County, Hanyang
, in cities such as Shanggui, the price of food has more than tripled..."
"What?" Ma Chao stood up and said angrily: "Han Sui, this old dog, really dares to start a war with us?"
"They may not necessarily attack us," Ma Teng said with a sullen expression, "But Hanyang County is right next to us, so we must be on guard!"
"How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?" Ma Chao said with a strange light in his eyes: "Why don't we strike first and send troops to kill Han Sui first! As long as Old Dog Han is dead, how can other Qiang and Hu bastards dare to attack us?
"
Ma Teng shook his head repeatedly and said: "Except Han Sui, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi... they are all mobilizing troops. Beidi, Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, I heard they are all mobilizing troops.
, if we take action first, maybe all these people will come to attack us together!"
Ma Chao was so angry that he shouted: "Who are you afraid of? I don't believe there is anyone who can take a blow from our army!"
While the Ma family and his son were discussing matters, Yan Zhong was introducing a young hero to Chen Cheng.
"Junhou, this is the Yan Xing I mentioned to you."
Yan Zhong smiled and said: "Yan Ming, why don't you pay your respects to Juluhou soon?"
Yan Xing did not bow down and bowed, but looked at Chen Cheng carefully for a while. He saw that although Chen Cheng was beautiful and different from ordinary people, he did not have much dignity, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he still saluted respectfully.
Said: "I have met Chen Qiaoqi."
Yan Zhong smiled and said: "There are many heroes in Xiliang, but among the younger generations, there are only two people who I value the most."
Chen Cheng helped Yan Xing up and asked him to sit down, then turned around and asked, "I wonder who those two are?"
Yan Zhong said: "First, it is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. He is thoughtful and wise, and can discuss world affairs. The second is my nephew Yan Xing, who is Yun Wen and Wu, the land of Liangzhou.
There is no one who can surpass him."
How could you not have heard of Jia Xu’s name, Chen Cheng? What kind of ability does Yan Xing have that can be compared with Jia Xu?
He looked Yan Xing up and down, and saw that this man had slender hands and feet, and a body that was not inferior to Ma Chao. He also had a calm demeanor and polite manners. He could indeed be called a talent. But if he could be compared with Jia Xu...
.... He looked again and still couldn't tell.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but sigh to himself: When it comes to the ability to recognize people, he is indeed not as good as Liu Bei. He can only see the basic qualities of a person, but cannot see what heights others can reach. If he doesn't know some history
I would never have imagined that Cao Cao, a eunuch, could defeat all the heroes and unify the north.
Like the Yan Xing in front of me, I could only know that this person was talented... Wait, Chen Cheng suddenly found that he was in a corner. Who can see others clearly as soon as they meet?
You definitely have to listen to his words, watch his actions, and get along with him for a while before you can come to a conclusion.
He smiled and asked: "How does Yan Ming compare with that Ma Chao?"
Yan Xingdao: "Ma Mengqi's martial arts are superb and famous in Xiliang. If we talk about martial arts alone, I can't compare with him."
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Chen Cheng thought that Yan Xinghui thought he was not as good as Ma Chao, but the words that followed were completely different from what he thought. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked at the other party again and saw Yan Xing's majestic demeanor.
Somewhat happy. He stood up and laughed and said: "I like warriors and heroes the most in my life. We are destined to meet them today."
As he spoke, Chen Cheng walked to the side, took down the "Seven Star Sword" placed on the wooden stand, and said: "The name of this sword is: Seven Stars. It was a gift from a friend. I hold this sword and kill him front and back."
He killed hundreds of people, but the blade is still sharp. Today I will give this seven-star sword to Yan Ming."
The famous BMW sword has always been the favorite of warriors. Chen Cheng presented this magical weapon to him as soon as they met. Even though Yan Xing had a calm personality, he couldn't help being surprised at this moment. He turned to look at Yan Zhong, with a questioning look in his eyes.
.
Yan Zhong smiled and said: "The sword is given to heroes, Yan Ming, just accept it. Don't you think you are a hero?"
Yan Xing straightened his back, stretched out his hand, took the "Seven Star" sword, and pulled it gently, revealing half of the blade. Senhan's murderous aura immediately came out from the blade, which actually made Yan Xing's back feel cold.
He praised: "What a knife!"
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Of course it is a good knife. If it were not a good knife, I would not dare to use it to show my shame."
Yan Xing inserted the knife into the scabbard, and his heart began to waver. He thought to himself: Maybe, he needs to wait a few more days before taking a look.
Yan Xingdao: "I've made inquiries in many places over the past few days, and it turns out it's just as we discussed before!"
Chen Cheng said: "Are you talking about the upcoming chaos in Xiliang?"
Yan Zhong stood in front of the case and said: "Exactly! Han Sui, Ma Teng and other princes from Xiliang are mobilizing their troops, and a melee is about to break out!"
He said to Chen Cheng: "After Han Sui annexed the tribes of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, he has no less than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and Ma Teng's troops are less than one-third of Han Sui's. At this time, he will definitely win over us.
As long as you have a place to stay, things will be easier to handle in the future."
Chen Cheng pondered for a while, then sighed and said: "If we use swords and soldiers together, the people will suffer."
Hearing this, Yan Xing had a strange look on his face and couldn't help but look at his uncle Yan Zhong. Yan Zhong smiled and said: "What the Lord said is as if the people will not suffer if we don't use weapons."
Chen Cheng shook his head and said: "Soldiers are also deadly weapons, and saints have to use them as a last resort. Xiliang is now a vast land with few people, so it is not necessary to fight."
Yan Zhong said: "It is precisely because the princes of Xiliang are immoral that we need people with benevolence like the king to stand up."
Chen Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I'm not a good person either."
He turned around and said to Yan Xing: "I will be hosting a banquet for powerful people from far and near in the city in two days. Have you heard about this?"
Yan Xing nodded and said: "The news has spread throughout the county. Not only the heroes of this county, but also many from other counties have arrived in Pengyang."
Yan Zhong clapped his hands and said: "Heroes are coming in droves, great things can be accomplished!"
Chen Cheng saw clearly and said with a smile: "I don't think they came because I wanted to treat guests. It's probably because Han Sui had too many troops and others were afraid of being annexed by Han Sui, so they came here to hug each other to keep warm."
Yan Zhong said: "It's the same thing. No matter what the reason is for them to come, as long as they come, it's good."
