Xiaoguangong

Chapter 221 Family Knowledge
Although Ma Chao is conceited and arrogant, he has been in the army for a long time and knows the ways of fighting very well.

Before he came, he had already inquired that Yunshan's army was a mix of Jingzhou Army and Shangyong Army, and they came all the way in the name of chasing Shen Yi's rebellion.

Originally, they were no more than ten thousand people. Even if a large number of people joined the army along the way, and they barely expanded to twenty thousand, the number was only scary. In a real fight, these untrained people would definitely not be able to stop the brave Liangzhou iron soldiers.

Moreover, when Ma Teng was stationed in Huaili before, he intended to make friends with a big family in Chang'an, and even attached himself to the Ma family in Guanzhong. If it really happened, Yunshan was an outsider after all.

Hey, Ma Chao didn't believe that Yunshan could last longer when he heard that he had sent troops to rob the big family.

He and Pang De commanded [-] troops, and came to the city of Chang'an calmly. It was already dark at the moment, and it was difficult to see the real situation on the top of the city, but Ma Chao still asked Pang De to cheer up the torches, and under the cover of a group of Liangzhou soldiers, he walked slowly. Approaching the tall Chang'an City, he sternly said to the city:
"I am Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi.

Please also tell General Yun. "

He shouted three times in a row, but no one answered, Ma Chao laughed and said loudly: "General Yun, it's Ma's fault for bothering you late at night, and it doesn't matter if you can hear him or not.

I heard that the general is extremely brave, he cut Liang Xing first, and captured horses and played well after, none of my generals in Guanzhong is the general's opponent.

Ma Chao has learned some skills with swords and guns since he was a child, and he intends to learn some skills, whether it is foot combat or horse combat, he also asks the general to teach him.

If the general wins, Ma Chao retreats immediately; if the general loses, please..."

"Ma Chao!"

An angry roar came from the top of Chang'an City. Under the firelight, Ma Chao couldn't see the appearance of the man at the top of the city, so he asked subconsciously:
"But General Yun is in person."

The man laughed and said:

"In the middle of the night, General Yun has already gone to bed.

I, Chen Qun, can't sleep anyway, and I heard that General Ma is here, why don't I ask General Ma for advice first. "

Chen Qun...

Hearing that Chen Qun was also in the city, Ma Chao felt a little vigilant in his heart.

He had heard that Shen Yi and Chen Qun fled to Guanzhong, and Yun Shan came all the way to hunt them down.

Why did Chen Qun join the Yunshan army now? Could it be that Yunshan had been aware of our army's uprising before, so he used the name of attacking Hanzhong to actually kill here from Shangyong?

No, the planning of this matter was quite secretive at that time, and the relationship between the generals and Cao Cao was not on good terms. Who would have informed Cao Cao so long in advance?

Thinking of Chang Diao, who was in command of the school to spy on information, appearing in Huayin, and thinking of Yunshan suddenly appearing in Chang'an, Ma Chao felt more and more uneasy, and he replied after a long time:

"I've heard about Mr. Chen's name for a long time. When I heard that Yunshan was going to intercept and kill Mr. Chen, the young general was so anxious that he led his army here to rescue him. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen actually joined General Yun.

Hey, is it possible that Chen Gong is going to fight for General Yun and compete with the young general? "

"Hahaha, if it's a martial arts competition, ten Chen Qun are no match for the general. It's just that a certain person is in Chang'an today and heard that the general came from the Ma family in Guanzhong. , Chen Qun loves learning, but what he sees are only the hand-copied works of others, and he has always wanted to ask Ma's expert for advice."

"Since the general belongs to the Ma clan, he must have a profound family education.

Chen was afraid that the handwritten copy he read before was wrong, so he asked for advice. "

After finishing speaking, he stood on the wall and read aloud, regardless of whether Ma Chao agreed or not:
"Respect for living, joy for raising, sorrow for illness, mourning for mourning, strictness for sacrifice, what's the meaning of this sentence? As long as General Ma can answer, Chen immediately bowed down and surrendered. Don't break your promise!"

"you……"

Ma Chao's face was gradually filled with blackness, he stared coldly at Chen Qun in the city, and said coldly:
"The thief An dares to insult me!"

Chen Qun said with a smile:
"Where am I insulting the general? I have been eager to learn since I was a child. I have visited famous scholars. I have heard that General Ma has studied the "Book of Filial Piety" for a long time. I came here to ask for advice. Is this still an insult to the general? What is the general not filial? Let me hear it?"

Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, was born in a poor family. When he was young, he still relied on big firewood for a living. Later, he swept Sanfu, studied the family tree, and recognized Fufeng Ma as the same clan. He also considered himself a direct relative of the famous general Ma Yuan. The famous Fufeng Ma family.

Because Ma Teng really knew how to kill people, the Fufeng Ma family who had fallen could only recognize this relative who had been lost for many years. It was regarded as paying protection fees, and the relationship between the two parties had always been relatively harmonious.At that time, Ma Teng already knew that he had to make friends with local heroes a little bit, and let his children and grandchildren read a little bit of Ma's classics for appearance.

At that time, Ma Rong once annotated the "Book of Filial Piety", and based on the "Book of Filial Piety", he created the "Book of Loyalty". This combination of loyalty and filial piety is naturally a model for celebrities and an object of admiration for thousands of people.

But Ma Chao led the crowd to make trouble this time, which has nothing to do with Zhongxiao.

In particular, Ma Chao's father and several brothers and clans were all hostages in Cao Cao's hands. Ma Chao raised troops regardless of their safety, and he directly put aside all loyalty and filial piety.

In the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, the concept of loyalty and filial piety has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At that time, Liu Bang could laugh and let his father fall into the hands of Xiang Yu, and said that he could get a share of the pie in the future, but if Ma Chao said so, it would be tantamount to destroying his own reputation. .

It's okay for him to be a robber and rob, but if he wants to do big things in the future, there is really no way.

Ma Chao was conceited of his bravery, and thought that challenging Yunshan one-on-one would seriously hurt his spirit, but he was rendered speechless by Chen Qun's verbal struggle, and he was immediately speechless.

"you you……"

He really wanted to rush to the top of the city to catch Chen Qun and hack him to death, but attacking the city in the middle of the night was an extremely unwise act, and if he continued to fight Chen Qunwen under the city, Ma Chao would lose even worse.

In desperation, he could only flick his sleeves violently and order the troops to withdraw.

Not everyone in Ma Chaojun heard what Chen Qun said to the general, but after returning to the barracks, everyone passed on the news, and everyone soon knew that the general was bluffed by the enemy's "loyalty and filial piety", and immediately felt ashamed Light.

Ma Chao was forced to leave with Chen Qun's few words, and he was quite proud of it, and couldn't help but think of his own Wendou being frequently suppressed by Guan Ping before.

That's right, he was Cao Cao's army before, and he had no organization for the Xuzhou incident and the subsequent Cao Cao massacre of the city.

But Ma Chao is different. Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son did not do little to plunder and kill people. In addition, Ma Teng was held by Cao Cao and Ma Chao dared to raise troops. On the commanding heights of morality, Ma Chao was naturally speechless with a few words.

Guan Ping didn't sleep, he had been standing behind Chen Qun, and when Chen Qun was fighting Ma Chaowen, he had been carefully observing this world-renowned top fighter.

Ma Chao became famous at a young age, with high martial arts skills, and his subordinates are the absolute main force in this rebel army.

He has now managed to attract the rebels in Guanzhong here, and whether he can withstand it later depends on how the battle goes in the next few days.

Fortunately, Chen Qun, who had been making trouble for him before, stood by his side this time.

It's not just him, all the generals under Yunshan's command, except Shen Dan, were more or less conflicted before, but now they all stand together.

"Han Sui and Ma Chao are the leaders of the generals in Guanzhong. Now that we have defeated Han Sui, if we can defeat Ma Chao, Guanzhong will be fine.

The next few days will be very hard, please help me, we will fight together, "

Chen Qun bowed his hands and said with a smile:
"The general is serious. We are the master of the king. It is our duty to suppress the rebellion. There is no hard work."

It is rare for Chen Qun to experience the feeling of a positive role in so many years. Of course, he is very excited and happy, and he can't help but try his best to do his best.

Relying on previous achievements, Guan Ping's military discipline and Chen Qun's reputation, the people of Chang'an have mobilized now. Guan Ping does not require them all to join the army with weapons. The work of mending military uniforms, rushing to manufacture ordnance, and standing guard.

Outstanding performers among these militiamen will be selected to join the Lantian Army—the second echelon of the Guanping Army, which is responsible for maintaining law and order in the city. Among them, those who are serious and good at fighting and obeying military orders will also be selected as the main force, responsible for defending the city and resisting the enemy head-on. battle.

Seeing what the people wanted, Chen Qun finally started to attack those rich families—of course, he would not directly lead people to plunder property in a tasteless way, but directly wrote down the names of the various families in Guanzhong on the walls of the inner city with thick ink. The amount of rations donated.

The number is ranked. The name of the Yang family who donated the most before and actively cooperated with the battle was written on the cloth and hung on the top. Chen Qun also carefully told the story of the ancestors of the Yang family, and asked a few eloquent soldiers to recite it. Familiar, telling the audience about the glorious deeds of the ancestors of the Yang family who do not know if there are any.

Word of mouth, coupled with people shouting and applauding one after another, it was originally just a compliment to the ancestors of the Yang family, but soon turned into a drag.

The names of the various families who donated only a few shi or dozens of shi before were clearly written down, and if someone told them, of course it would be embarrassing.

In particular, Fufeng Ma's relationship with Ma Chao has been mentioned by others, and they jump up and down in a hurry. It is hard to prove their innocence even if they are covered in mouths. In desperation, they donate money quickly, and ask Chen Qun to improve his ranking quickly. Just mess around, or don't mention their Ma family's name at all.

It wasn't until this time that the gentle and refined Chen Qun finally showed his cruel fangs.

He stretched out two fingers, and asked for [-] shi for military rations - he didn't dare to ask for more when he didn't get the support of the people before, but now of course he has to pay for it, [-] shi for food, Chen Qun followed It is required that each family must send nephews to serve as militiamen, and it is necessary to claim part of the work of arranging the wounded and repairing ordnance. These are also ranked.

Born in the Chen family of Yingchuan, he knows the ways of these famous families very well. If Guan Ping is unpopular, they will naturally be firm and strong, and even incite the people to refuse to cooperate.

But now that the common people are fighting high battles, if they still stick to the food reserves, they will inevitably become the object of hatred of the common people. When Guan Ping raises his arms and shouts at them, everyone will only applaud.

In desperation, they were forced to increase their donation efforts, but as we all know, if you don't take the initiative to donate, you will always be passive.

Chen Qun had been prepared for a long time, and he hired a group of people to fan the flames. It was obvious that a certain family had ulterior motives in donating such a small amount because of its amazing wealth, or that a certain family was forced to donate after seeing everyone donate, which was obviously unwilling.

The people are always very consistent in their hatred of the rich. These days, the music donation list on the walls of the inner city has become a major attraction for the people. Every day at dawn, everyone hastened to get up early to see which one has made contributions to Chang'an and which one has become stingy. The target of public criticism and the biggest laughing stock of Chang'an.

In desperation, each family was forced to start the rich-fighting mode. If you donate [-], I will donate [-].

Your nephew joins the army, and my own son joins the army.

Ten wounded soldiers are housed in your house. I would rather sleep on the street by myself, and free up my house to house soldiers.

Although people of insight can see that this will only make them feel more and more uncomfortable, but Chen Qun's method of fanning the flames is indeed extremely terrifying, so he almost took the "Loyalty" and compiled a list of family duties for them. After a few days, these The aristocratic clan who were unwilling to pluck a hair before sold their sons and daughters into battle.

So many gentlemen do their best to support the battle, which is not much more refreshing than direct looting.

Thinking that Yan Xing could still think that Chen Qun would rob with his own hands, Chen Qun couldn't help laughing.

"Our army will win this battle.

By the time……"

Guan Ping smiled and said, "Changwen really has a world-class talent, and the great prosperity of the Han Dynasty in the future will be inseparable from Changwen's ability."
