Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2554

After paying a lot of money to the ranger who came to report the letter, and asked Sima Lang to send it out in person, Sima Fang's face darkened.

After a while, Sima Lang turned back and sat aside, "My lord...this matter is probably not trivial..."

Sima Fang half-closed his eyelids, "Let's talk about it." 』

Sima Lang said in a deep voice: "If you want to recruit, send three or five soldiers, just deliver the papers... so many soldiers come here... it is definitely not a good thing!" 』

"Humph!Bullying someone's body? 』Sima Fang sneered, then gritted his teeth, and popped out these words.

Sima Fang's frailty and sickness in the past two years is not a top secret. The nobles around him know it, and Le Jin and others in Hanoi are also aware of it.

Hanoi gentry, led by Sima.

Le Jin didn't have much patience to blend slowly, so if he wanted to achieve quick results, suppress the Hanoi gentry, and make the local gentry in Yingchuan bow their heads and obey like Prime Minister Cao. One mode is to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, and the other mode is naturally to catch the thieves first Capture the king!

Killing chickens to warn monkeys is often because monkeys are hard to catch and chickens are easier to bully, but now...

Sima is the "King"!
In the words of later generations, it is "to kill him while he is sick", since Sima Fang is sick, let's squeeze it while he is soft!
Is it normal logic?

"Father, is it possible that you are not afraid of us..." Sima Lang frowned, "Will you fight to the death? 』

Sima Fang grinned, revealing some yellow and black broken teeth, "Hehe... how do you know he doesn't want us to fight to the death?" 』

"This..." Sima Lang finally panicked, "Isn't that the case? 』

Sima Fang raised his dim eyes and looked into the distance, "This old man's illness, it's really not the right time..."

Of course, it is possible that Le Jin felt that if a bad old man like Sima Fang was about to die of illness, he might not really want to do something if he frightened him. He could only let the Sima family bow their heads and stick their buttocks to the board, and then ordered other families in Hanoi to do the same. Putting your ass up, isn't it simple?
After all, only under the guidance of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, many people know how powerful the Sima family is, and the current big man, from the corner of the whole big man, the Sima family is not very well-known, but only famous in Hanoi County.

Peace talks, or splitting accounts or something, both parties must feel that they can cooperate, and under the condition of roughly equal status...

Like now, Sima looked down on Le Jin, and Le Jin didn't think Sima was anything special, so how could they sit together and share the bill?
The current branch of the Sima family in Wen County comes from Sima Jun.Going up, Sima Jun is somewhat similar to Liu Bei. The grandchildren of a certain king can talk about it. It’s really embarrassing to talk about it every day like Liu Bei...

And Sima Jun, General Zhengxi, was a General Zhengxi who committed suicide.

On the surface, Sima Jun's suicide was related to some failed military operations, and committed suicide in fear of crime, but in reality, I'm afraid it may not be simple, and I believe it is more of a political issue.

After Sima Jun, Sima Liang, and Sima Jun have nothing to say. Generally speaking, even after Sima became emperor, there is no special deed to praise them. Suave and generous.Standing eight feet three inches tall, with a belt around ten, he has a dignified manner, which is different from others...』

Well, being tall and strong was indeed a skill in the Han Dynasty.

What is Sima Fang capable of now?Have you done anything big?
Does having eight sons count?
Maybe.

So much so that the historians of later generations pondered for a long time, but they really couldn't find any glorious deeds of Sima Fang. In the end, they could only say that Sima Fang had a lot of complaints. Hundreds of thousands of words".Hundreds of thousands of words seem like a lot, but they are not even comparable to the fraction of Mahou, so Le Jin may indeed be based on the above factors, and he does not even feel the need to come to Wen County by himself, and sending an army Sima will be enough. Anyway, isn't it just to deal with a poor old man?

Sima Fang is not afraid of scaring.

But what if, this time, Le Jin's soldiers and horses were not simply threatening?
Sima's ruthlessness and forbearance are traditional and deep in his bones.

On the couch, Sima Fang, who was already a little thin, opened his closed eyes, and there was some fierce expression in the drooping triangular eyes.

It's useless to bully the old man, it's useless...

"It seems that I can't bear it anymore. ”Sima Fang said slowly, “This time, even if I endure it, it will probably hurt my muscles and bones... Don’t forget, this Le Jin Le Wenqian suffered a lot from the Hussars back then... 』

Sima Lang's expression was serious, "My lord father's intention is..."

Sima Fang raised his eyelids, "I'm afraid it's aimed at you!" 』

Sima Lang took a breath, his brows were furrowed, "If that's the case, it's really a disaster!" 』

Although Sima Lang wasn't as clever and conniving as Sima Yi, he wasn't too bad. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what his father Sima Fang meant.

This really might be aimed at him!
It could be said that it was a "coup" developed by Le Jin after studying Lao Cao's classmate!
Isn't Lao Cao "coercing the emperor to make the princes"?

Didn't they engage in the red and white flag of Yingchuan once?
So what's wrong with Le Jin doing a "coercive heir to make the gentry"?
What's wrong with forcing the Hanoi gentry to stand in line?
After the soldiers approached the city, they would find any excuse, such as bandits appeared in Taihang Mountains, and asked Sima Lang to cooperate, or directly ordered Sima Lang to be recruited as a military counselor. Anyway, there were many reasons.

If Sima Lang refused, saying that Sima Fang was in poor health or something, Le Jin could also find an excuse, such as a temporary secondment, or asking Sima Lang to prove that his father was his father... er, to prove that the Sima family and those bandits It doesn't matter and so on, anyway, are you picking bones in the egg? As a public man, if you don't have this ability, then you are a fart?
Didn't look at the checkpoints on the road and stopped the convoy caravan, even if the procedures are complete, can they find out some problems?

As long as the driver's license... Bah, after Sima Lang is in his hands, can other problems still be problems?
So Sima Fang may be fine, but even if Sima Lang is a meat bun beating a dog, he will never look back.

When the time comes to pinch Sima Lang and turn around to threaten Sima Shi, will Sima Shi bear it or not?

"Boy..." Sima Lang didn't know what to say for a moment, "Boy..."

"You don't have to be like this..." Sima Fang shook his head slightly and sighed, "No, it is inevitable... Even if we are not evil to Le Wenqian today, we will be evil to Cao Mengde tomorrow!"Sooner or later, sooner or later... Think about it, that war horse...』

"War horse? ”Sima Lang looked up at Sima Fang, “Father, how is this possible?We did it very carefully...」

"No matter how careful you are, you will be exposed..." Sima Fang sighed, "Besides, what's the use of being careful?"In Hanoi, there are still people who are eager to watch us fall, and then they can take over the business! 』

"..." Sima Lang fell silent.

This is true.

War horses are big business.

As a senior official under the hussars, Sima Yi can obtain some sales quotas of war horses from legitimate channels, and when these sales quotas are in the hands of Sima's caravan, how can it be possible to follow the price set by Cao Cao?
Official prices are official prices.

Looking at the market, the prices of war horses are all in line with the standard, not exaggerating at all.Reasonable shipping costs, reasonable profit margins, and reasonable signage prices.

But it's out of stock...

The stables were empty.

But if you increase the price several times, it will be in stock again!

If the price is higher, there are better war horses!
The channels for the "semi-smuggled" war horses in Hanoi are all in the hands of the Sima family.

The reason why it is called "semi-smuggled" or "juqi" is because the horses were sold legally from Huqi, but when they came to Cao Cao, the war horses entered the black market and did not appear in the market.

For example, mobile phones, graphics cards, etc. at a certain stage in later generations must be regular when they come out from the manufacturer, and then they are out of stock halfway through. At the end of the consumer, want to There are no cheap ones at all, and you can't buy them at the prices listed on the website...

Sima Fang sneered and said: "The old man's legs and feet are only inconvenient, why don't he just lie on the bed and wait to die!"This is already hitting the door. If the old man really waits until the day when he stretches his neck and kicks his legs, he doesn't specify how he will be bullied! 』

"Father..." Sima Lang said, "How should we deal with it? 』

Sima Fang pondered for a while, "Go, call Ma Dalang."We must know how many people have come... If there are few people, there is still room for maneuver, and if there are many people...』

Sima Lang took a breath, nodded, and got up to go out.

Not long after, Sima Lang came with Ma Chong.

Sima Fang smiled and greeted Ma Chong to sit down, and then asked: "Ma Dalang, have you been at Sima's house... for ten years?" 』

"If you go back to Taigong, it will be ten years in two more months..." Ma Chong replied respectfully.

Sima Fang nodded, and said with emotion: "Ten years..."

Sima Fang raised his head, he didn't know whether he was thinking about the past youthful years, or feeling sad about the passing of the years.

Ma Chong glanced at Sima Fang, feeling somewhat uneasy.

After a while, Sima Fang sighed softly, and said: "To tell you the truth, that young chivalrous man came here in the evening to report a calamity to Mrs. Sima!" 』

Ma Chong's eyes widened involuntarily, "What disaster?" 』

Sima Fangqiang stood up, then bowed to Ma Chong, "Ma Dalang, I have a heartfelt request..."

……╰(‵□′)╯……

Looking at Chenjiaping's camp from a distance, it looks like a huge monster crouching in the shadows.

It was already dark, with a bright moon hanging overhead.

In any case, the camp in Chenjiaping still looked a bit like a mosque dug out of the ground, fenced with trees, and high sentry posts.

Ma Chong crouched behind the rock, his eyes flickering.

After rushing all the way, they finally came to Chenjiaping.

He is also afraid.

But being afraid or withdrawing doesn't solve the problem.

Back then, Ma Chong's father risked his life to fight for a place for Ma Chong and his brother in the Sima family, but now, it was Ma Chong's turn to fight for his brother and his children. Expand a wider space!

What's more, what old Mrs. Sima said made some sense.First, Ma Chong is a hunter and often hunts outsiders, so appearing here is not easy to arouse suspicion. Afraid of delaying the big event.

after all……

Ma Chong's wife and children are still in Simawu Castle.

"Ma Dalang, we..." The other two hunters beside Ma Chong looked at Chenjiaping's camp, their voices trembling unavoidably, "We... really just passed by like this? 』

Ma Chong took a breath, looked at the other two hunters who were trembling beside him, "No... I'll just go..."

"Ma Dalang! 』

"Here, how can this work? ! 』

Although the two hunters said that this was not possible, they obviously didn't look as trembling as before. "Otherwise, we'll all be here to take a look..."

They were located only two or three miles away from Chenjiaping.

Come out from behind the rock, and then there is Yimapingchuan. As long as the sentries in Chenjiaping pay a little attention, they can see its traces.

Ma Chong shook his head and said, "It's not right.What the old grandpa wants is the number of soldiers, so what can you tell by just looking here? 』

Ma Chong looked at Chenjiaping's camp, "You have to go there to know how many people there are!"Besides, if you don't get in, how can you set fire in the camp? 』

The two hunters looked at each other and remained silent.

That's right, if you rush back and say something nonsense, you can make a difference, and you may even not reveal any flaws, such as a little exaggeration, or just say that you didn't see clearly, or simply say Chen Jiaping's defense Strict, can't get in or something, is it possible that the old grandpa can come here to check with his own eyes?

But, that's not how it works...

Ma Chong took a deep breath, "Give me the things!" 』

"Ma Dalang..."

Ma Chong looked determined, "Give me the things!" 』

Ma Chong saw that the two hunters didn't have the guts to approach him, so instead of taking the two guys with him at the risk of being exposed, he might as well give it a go!At least you don't have to worry about when these two people will show their flaws and hold you back!
The two hunters looked at each other, then took out the small bamboo tube to start the fire from their arms, and handed it to Ma Chong, "Ma Dalang... are you really... going to go there?" 』

"Stop talking nonsense," Ma Chong hid the small bamboo pipe that started the fire, "If you are shot outside, you all run back immediately!"Sima Taigong won't blame you... If I can sneak in, you just wait...well, wait for an hour, if after an hour, I haven't been able to light the fire...you go back too...』

Ma Chong stretched out his hand and grabbed two or three pheasants and hares, "Do you remember? Ma Chong said in a deep voice, he had already made up his mind, and there was some determination in his expression.

The two hunters looked at Ma Chong's face and nodded silently.

Under the moonlight, I saw Ma Chong grinning and showing his white teeth, "Remember to tell the old man when you go back, I, Ma Chong, have not owed him the grace of protecting me for ten years!" 』

Ma Chong stretched out a hand, patted the two hunters, then stood up from behind the rock and strode forward.

"Ma Dalang..."

"How proud..."

The two hunters were leaning on the rock, watching Ma Chong's figure heading towards Chenjiaping, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After a while, the two hunters glanced at each other, "You..."

"I……"

"I say……"

"you say……"

"Hi!You speak first! 』

"No, you should tell me first..."

The two were silent for a while.

Because both of them read timidity and retreat from each other's eyes, but they dared not speak because of their shame.

"Oh..." One of them sighed, then turned to look at Ma Chong's figure, "Forget it, not everyone can be a hero..."

"Whoever wants to say a bad word about Ma Dalang in the future, I will be in a hurry with him!" ’ Another person slapped the rock in front of him, as if slapping an enemy, 『Ah, Ma Dalang was discovered! 』

Under Chenjiaping, Ma Chong, who was halfway there, was spotted by the barracks sentinel on the ground, and then ordered him to stop and accept interrogation...

Suddenly, some soldiers ran back and forth in the camp, and the flames flickered wildly.

Ma Dalang held up the prey in his hand, and seemed to shout something into Chenjiaping.

After a while, a few people came out from the camp, surrounded Ma Chong, seemed to be questioning something, and then escorted Ma Chong into the camp.

"broken……"

"Will it be discovered..."

The two hunters involuntarily began to tremble behind the rock again.

"How to do? 』

"Shall we go back now? 』

"..." The two hunters shivered for a while, and then found that there seemed to be no special movement in the camp, and the tension gradually relaxed. They were about to discuss what to do, but heard some small voices behind them , so scared that they immediately turned their heads and looked back, "Who?who is over there 』

A figure loomed not far away, shaking his hands empty, "It's me.Did Ma Dalang go in?What are you two doing here? 』

"..." The two hunters recognized each other, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, it's Mr. Liulang, why are you here?"Ma Dalang was captured and taken into the barracks...』

Sima Jin came up with two entourages, then looked towards Chenjiaping, and said in a calm tone, "What does Ma Dalang have to say?" 』

The two hunters looked at each other, and then repeated what Ma Chong said.

"Yeah," Sima Jin nodded, "Ma Dalang...that's really good..."

Sima Jin looked at the barracks on Chenjiaping in the distance, as if he was counting the numbers, then took a breath, his face darkened, "Okay, let's go..."

The two hunters didn't understand, "Huh?Do you want to go back now?wait? 』

"You two have to wait, it's okay..." Sima Jin turned his head, but put on a smile, "Or, come back with me?" 』

The two hunters looked at each other, and then smiled a little awkwardly, "This...we are naturally going with Liulang..."

"Okay, let's go!" 』Sima Jin stretched out his hand to indicate that the two hunters should go first.

The two hunters came in without knowing, and seemed to feel that there was something wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong. They looked at each other, nodded somewhat confusedly, and then walked back.

After walking a few steps, two people rushed out from the shadows, one of them held down a Orion, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and stabbed him in with the other hand!

"Hold back..." Sima Jin put his hands behind his back and didn't even look at the two hunters who were dying on the ground, "The Sima family treated you well. You are also hunters. Ma Dalang did well, and then he took a risk. Risk... If Ma Dalang died, but you survived, how should I face Ma Dalang's family?How should I tell others?Oh, those who get cold feet will live, but those who are brave enough to take responsibility will die? 』

Sima Jin continued to move forward, "Throw the corpse into the ravine!"Clean it again, don't leave any traces...』
