Chapter 146 Bloody Curtain

August of the third year of Zhongping.

The Central Constables Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Song Dian and others were demoted to their hometown for framed Yuan Feng. The once powerful party of the Ten Constables who were rampant for a while disappeared. Emperor Ling of Han left only Jian Shuo and still took charge of the new army in Xiyuan to check and balance He Jin, so as not to prevent the power of the foreign relatives from becoming the only one after the fall of the eunuchs.

Shortly after that, Emperor Ling of Han re-appointed Yuan Wei as the Grand Tutor and Huang Wan as Sikong, and co-organized the government with Situ Wang Yun. The dispute between eunuchs and relatives at the end of the Han Dynasty was temporarily over. The Qingliu Party began to emerge, and the particularly remarkable thing was the rise of the Yuan family and was prominent for a while.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo, the general of the Qiang Protecting Central Army, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, finally could not suppress their ambitions and began to make military preparations in full swing. An unprecedentedly tragic warlord melee gradually opened the bloody curtain...

...

Jizhou Prefecture, Yecheng.

The cavalry commander Zhang He and the infantry commander Gao Lan had not taken off their military uniforms, so he walked straight into the hall with high spirits and clasped his fists under the hall and said, "I will meet you later."

Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, stood up and smiled and said, "The two generals are here, let's take their seats."

"Sir Xie."

Zhang He and Gao Lan thanked Han Fu. Just as he took his seat, footsteps outside the hall sounded. The commander Pan Feng, Guan Chun, Geng Wu, and Jizhou Bian Jia Ju Su and others entered one after another. They met Han Fu respectively under the hall, and then sat in the first and second place. Zhang He bowed to Han Fu on the table and said loudly: "The war in Heishan is in full swing, but the Lord condemns the last general to return to Ye. I wonder what urgent matter is there?"

Han Fu said: "The Black Mountain bandits are just robbers who crow and dogs. They are not worth mentioning. General Zhang He doesn't have to take it to heart."

The disciple Ju Su advised bluntly without thinking: "This is a bad word for me. Since Zhang Niujiao's death, Zhang Yan led his people. Although Zhang Yan is young, he is quite martial and knows how to win people's hearts. Now all the eighteen tribes of Heishan regard him as the leader, covering hundreds of thousands of people, with a huge momentum. How can you underestimate him?"

Han Fu couldn't help but frown, thinking that Jushu's man was extremely talented and capable. He was quite talented and had a national talent. He was too honest, but he had something to say, but if he had something to say, he would say everything. He would not care about Shangguan's face and feelings at all, and he would repeatedly do such unpleasant actions.

"I have made arrangements for the fight against the Black Mountain bandits."

Ju Su asked relentlessly: "I wonder what arrangements are made by lord?"

Han Fu felt even more unhappy. He suppressed his anger and replied: "I will take the commander Pan Feng to replace Zhang He as the general and lead the army to attack the Black Mountain bandits. What do you think?"

Ju Su replied without hesitation: "Sir, no. Although General Pan Feng is the best in the three armies, he does not have military strategies. If he is ordered to charge and fall into battle, no one can defeat him. If he is used to command troops and fight against the enemy, he is not able to catch him."

Ju Su's words suddenly offended Han Fu, Pan Feng and the others. Han Fu's face had become very ugly, and Pan Feng also looked unhesitant. No matter who was commented in person by others, he would not feel good! If he hadn't respected Ju Su's usual behavior, Pan Feng would have drawn his sword to face him long ago.

Zhang He respects Jushi's character the most. Seeing Han Fu's face displeased, he advised: "Sir, General Pan Feng is the chief general under the command of the master. He has not been moved lightly. If the last general is defeated by the bandits, it will not hurt the morale of the army. If General Pan Feng fails to make any mistakes, he may be afraid of his aggression. I hope he will think twice."

"Well!" Han Fu said, "Since that's the case, he still took Zhang He as his general and led his army to fight against the Black Mountain bandits."

Zhang He stood up clanging his fists and said loudly: "The last general takes the order."

Han Fu nodded slightly and suddenly shouted loudly: "Pan Feng, Gao Lan, Guan Chun, Geng Wu obeyed the order!"

The four generals of Pan Feng stood up clangingly and said quickly: "The last general is here."

Han Fu said: "Pan Feng is the main general, Gao Lan, Guan Chun and Geng Wu. He led 8,000 horse troops and 20,000 infantry troops, and sent troops for tens of days to attack the rebel Ma Yue!"

Pan Feng, Guan Chun, and Geng Wu agreed: "The last general will take the order."

Zhang He, Gao Lan, was furious, and Ju Su was even more shocked and burst into tears, saying hurriedly: "Sir, don't, don't!"

Han Fu said angrily: "Ju Su, do you have to be against me?"

Ju Su said anxiously: "Why did sir do this? The officials are just talking about the matter and there is no intention of offending."

"It's good that there is no offense." Han Fu shouted, "It's decided to fight against the horse and the other party. Don't say more."

Ju Su Haoran sighed and said, "Since that's the case, please follow the army to fight."

"I'm sure!"

Han Fu said coldly, got up and left, and the three generals Pan Feng, Guan Chun and Geng Wu also left one after another. Gao Lan slowly stood up and bowed to Ju Su, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He sighed softly and turned around and left. In a flash, only Ju Su and Zhang He were left in the hall.

Zhang He stood up and asked respectfully, "Why do you object to the Lord's troops to attack Ma Yue?"

Ju Su sighed quietly and shook his head and said, "How can human power change the number of destiny in heaven? Horse leaps has not finished enough."

"Yeah!" Zhang He said terrifiedly, "Ma Yue's energy is not over?"

Ju Su nodded and said, "When you look at the sky at night, there are evil stars that originate from the northwest and shine in the nine states. This must be on Ma Yue. At this time, the Lord sent troops to challenge him, and he may lose his troops and cause trouble for himself..."

"gentlemen!"

Zhang He hurriedly stopped Ju Su and refused to let him continue to say this. If Lord Han Fu heard this, he would be afraid that Mr. Ju Su would blame him for his unscrupulous words and disrupting the morale of the army.

...

Long County, Hanyang County.

In an ordinary house in the east of the city, the sound of a child's tender cry suddenly came from.

"Wow~~Aunt, my brother bullies me, wow..."

With the crying, a child, who was only six or seven years old, came out from behind the short wall. His body and hair were covered with mud, his tender little face was covered with tears, and his nose and tears were crying fiercely.

"It's useless. I'll cry when I fall, my father said. A man is a real man, only bleeding but not crying."

The young boy cried before he could finish his crying, and another eleven-year-old boy turned from behind the short wall. The boy had a sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a jade-like face, and looked extremely heroic. Behind the boy was a chubby little boy, at most three or four years old, with a long slug on his mouth.

The boy patted the little boy's head behind him and taught him a serious lesson: "Brother Hugh, when you grow up in the future, you can't be like a waste Ma Dai, and you will fall and cry. It's simply a shame to our Ma family. Do you hear it?"

"Um."

The little boy nodded in a vague way.

Just as he was talking, a young woman suddenly walked out of the house. The young woman was holding a few months old baby in her arms. She was lifting Luoyi and exposing a plump and white breast to feed the baby. Ma Dai rushed forward and hugged the young woman's thigh, crying: "Aunt, my brother bullies me."

The young woman glared at the young man and scolded, "Chaoer, why are you bullying Dai'er again?"

"How can you bully Ma Dai?" After Ma Chao said that, he glared at Ma Dai fiercely. He pulled out the little boy behind him and defended him, "If you don't believe me, please ask my brother, please tell my mother, please tell my mother quickly. Have you bullied Ma Dai?"

The little boy said in a silence: "Brother didn't... didn't bully the second brother, he just pushed... and pushed the second brother. The second brother fell off the wall and cried."

The young woman said, "I still said that I didn't bully Dai'er, and I will tell you my father back."

"You idiot." Ma Chao slapped Ma Xiu on the head and cursed viciously, "I won't even tell a lie, don't follow me in the future."

"Xilulu~~"

At this time, a loud neighing sound suddenly sounded on the street outside the house. Then, a fierce sound of horse hooves galloped towards this side from far to near. Ma Chao suddenly looked happy, turned around and ran towards the courtyard gate, shouting as he ran: "Father is back, father!"

In less than a moment, Ma Chao returned to the courtyard with a heavy iron spear majestic. He first raised his gun to slid the sky and made a golden rooster stand alone, and then swept across the world with a move. The heavy iron spear drew a large circle and then fell heavily from the air. He smashed hard on the ground paved with bluestone, making a loud "horn" sound.

The bluestone slab that was as big as a millstone was smashed by Ma Chao with one shot. The gravel flew everywhere and hissed.

"Okay, OK."

Ma Xiu was so happy that he clapped his hands straight, Ma Dai stopped crying, and his eyes were full of envy when he looked at Ma Chao.

Heavy footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard gate, and a figure flashed, and a majestic and strong figure had already entered, but it was a young man with a knife and axe-like face, slightly sunken eye sockets, and a high nose bridge. He looked very different from the Han people. He knew that he had the blood of the Qiang people at first glance.

Ma Chao suddenly turned around, stabbed out like a poisonous snake in his hand, and yelled straight into the strong man's chest, "Father, how is the child's shooting skills coming into the country? Can he go to the battlefield?"

The strong man crossed his right arm and blocked it lightly. The iron wrist guard on his wrist just hit the blade of the iron spear. Ma Chao's powerful shot was in vain. The strong man kicked Ma Chao's butt again. He heard the servant's voice. Ma Chao couldn't hold back and ran forward several steps, but he still couldn't hold back and threw a dog to eat shit.

The strong man straightened his wrist guard on his forehand and said coldly: "I have a lot of brute force, but I refuse to practice martial arts with all my strength. The gunshot technique is full of flaws. Even if you have the skills now, you dare to go to the battlefield?"

"Hehehehe~~"

Ma Dai, Ma Xiu laughed loudly.

Ma Chao turned over and got up, and said in anger: "Don't laugh, you can beat anyone who laughs!"

The young woman then came up and asked with concern: "Master, is the army going to go on a war again?"

"Yes, the army is going to go to war again." The strong man's face darkened, and a trace of haze also floated in his eyes, and he whispered, "This time, Lord Geng is going to attack Hetao."

...

The official residence of Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, was secretly located.

Zhi Zhong Chengqiu whispered: "Sir, the official has checked the Ma family's genealogy."

"Oh?" Geng Bi said, "What's the result?"

Cheng Qiu whispered: "Ma Teng is indeed a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan. Ma Teng's father Ma Su is the fifth generation grandson of Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan gave birth to son Ma Fang, Ma Fang gave birth to son Ma Ju, Ma Ju gave birth to son Ma Ying, Ma Ying gave birth to son Ma Lian, Ma Lian gave birth to Ma Su again. According to the Ma family tree, General Ma Yuan was the tenth generation grandson, and Ma Teng was the sixteenth generation grandson."

Geng Bi frowned and said, "So... Ma Teng and Ma Yue are really relatives of the same clan?"

Cheng Qiu whispered: "According to the analysis of the Xiaguan, Ma Yue should be the 13th generation grandson and a descendant of Ma Lang, Hexiang Hou. Unfortunately, all Ma Lang's troops died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it is impossible to verify it. However, judging from the age, Ma Yue should be the 17th generation grandson of the Ma family, one generation later than Ma Teng!"

Geng Bi frowned and said, "So Ma Teng is still Ma Yue's uncle? Do Ma Teng know about this?"

"Ma Teng naturally knew." Cheng Qiudao, "In view of this, the lower officials thought that Ma Teng should not follow the army to go out to war."

"Ma Teng is the best of the three armies. He is always Qiang in the army, and the soldiers of Hu support him." Geng Bi frowned and said, "If he is not allowed to follow the army to fight, who can replace him?"

Cheng Qiudao: "Sir, you have a plan."

"Oh, who is the leader?"

"Why don't you join forces with Dong Zhuo, the general of the Qiang Guardian, to attack Hetao?" Cheng Qiudao, "There are quite elite soldiers under the command of Dong Zhuo. Many powerful generals under the command of Dong Zhuo. If the two families can join forces, why worry about the horses not extinction and the Hetao is uncertain?"

Geng Bi said: "However, is Dong Zhuo willing to join forces with his officers to fight together?"

Cheng Qiudao: "You will know just by asking."

"Yes." Geng Bi said, "Send someone to Didao quickly to express my wishes to General Dong Zhuo."

"The lower official obeys the order."
