Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 152 I have learned to be sensational
Ma Dai, who was only ten years old, was wearing an iron armor that was obviously one size bigger than his body. He held the iron box upside down and let the horse carry him on his back, walking back and forth, walking over and over again.Ordinarily, at his age, he shouldn't be on the battlefield at all.But in Liangzhou, when children are seven or eight years old, they will show their knives at people in order to snatch a prey.

Ma Dai, who grew up in this environment, has the protection of Ma Teng, but he should understand cruelty, he is no worse than adults.Therefore, he begged for a long time tonight, and finally appeared here for the first time as a warrior.

Of course, he did not have any command authority, and after half an hour passed, there was still no movement in Han Sui's barracks opposite.He began to lose his temper, put on the rein, turned his horse's head and ran along the side of the army to the position of the Chinese army.

"Brother, it's been half an hour. Do we have to wait any longer?" After arriving at the location of the Chinese army, Ma Dai saw the troops waiting for the military order and Ma Chao, who was in command.As soon as he saw the elder brother in the brocade robe Shengxue, Ma Dai felt a burst of fire in his heart: "We'd better go in here and save uncle!"

Ma Chao glanced at Ma Dai, as if he didn't want to speak, but facing this brother who was destined to shoulder the important responsibilities of the Ma family, Ma Chao paused for a moment, shook his head and said slowly to Ma Dai: "Dai'er, you have to remember , the first task of commanding the army is not to show your emotions. No matter how life or death is at stake, you must be as cold as a stone on a snowy river. Because the life and death of these soldiers are pinned on you, if you are anxious , they will definitely be more anxious than you. And once the morale of the army fluctuates, the orders you convey will be compromised."

After being taught a lesson by Ma Chao, Ma Dai obviously lost a lot, but the young man's unwillingness to admit defeat did not allow him to bow his head, so he raised his head again and said angrily: "But now it's not the two armies confronting each other, but the uncle is here at Han Sui. In the barracks. That old dog Han has the title of 'Nine Twists of the Yellow River', and he acts viciously and sinisterly, how can you be so indifferent, big brother?!"

Hearing that Ma Dai dared to talk back to him, a flash of embarrassment flashed across Ma Chao's handsome face.I didn't see how he moved, but a sudden silver light flashed around his waist, and Ma Dai felt his scalp go cold, and then his sight was covered by his unkempt hair.

It turned out that Ma Chao cut off Ma Dai's helmet with a sword just now, but didn't even hurt a single hair of Ma Dai.Seeing Ma Chao's ruthless methods, Ma Dai's whole body felt as if he had fallen into a cellar of ice.Then, Ma Chao's words that were as cold as a snowy river came to his ears: "Ma Dai! As long as you lead the army, no matter where you do, you are in the army! If you continue to disturb the morale of the army like this Don't blame me, big brother, for engaging in military law!"

Seeing Ma Dai's face suddenly turned pale, Ma Chao also knew that today's event came too early for Ma Dai, and then his face softened, and he said in a light tone: "Han Sui is a man, so I don't know. But After all, we haven't broken our face with Han Sui now, and he is the leader of the Iron Qiang League. If I rush into his camp at this time, it will only give him a reason to kill Abba. So, what we have to do now, It’s all about staying the same.”

After saying this, Ma Chao saw that Ma Dai was still dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.After all, he also came from this age, knowing that men can only fade away their childishness with tragic experiences and time.

So, he raised his eyes to look at the brightly lit camp, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Dad will take you with Uncle Pang this time, and nothing will happen." This sentence Ma Chao said Very light, I don't know if he is comforting Ma Dai or talking to himself.Only the slightly fluttering brocade robe behind his back trembled slightly, revealing that he was actually not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

At this time, Ma Dai could hear the worry in Ma Chao's tone, and was about to admit his mistake to Ma Chao, but suddenly his brows became happy, and he pointed in front of him and said, "Brother, look quickly!"

Ma Chao looked up immediately, and saw Han Sui's camp opening, and a group of people slowly walking towards them.Among them, the two familiar figures in front made Ma Chao blurt out: "It's Abba and Uncle Pang, they're here!"

Immediately, Ma Dai raised the reins and rushed towards Ma Teng. Ma Chao thought for a while, and knew that he could not hide the fact that he was hiding here from Han Sui, so he no longer hesitated, and led the army to meet Ma Teng slowly .

When he got closer, Ma Chao discovered that the person traveling with Ma Teng and Pound turned out to be Xu Huang, the captain of the Han Tiger Benqi.The faces of Xu Huang and Pang De were as gloomy as water, but their father Ma Teng's complexion was very good, which could even be described as high spirits.

Such a situation immediately made Ma Chao very puzzled, but unexpectedly, Ma Teng, who had never talked much, opened his mouth first, and said with a smile: "Chaoer, it seems that this time we treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I went to the banquet this time with great fanfare, but unexpectedly Brother Han apologized to me sincerely, which made me blush."

Ma Teng's arrangements for this banquet were indeed perfect.He first chose Pang De, a strong general, to accompany him, and brought all his personal guards with him.He also ordered Ma Chao to lead the army to stand outside and be ready to respond at any time.Seeing that the matter turned out to be so anticlimactic in the end, Ma Chao couldn't help wondering, "Father, what did Han Sui tell you?"

When Ma Chao said this, he immediately hugged Xu Huang to express his gratitude.After all, everyone could see that the appearance of Xu Huang, a general representing the Han Dynasty, at this banquet was obviously the reason why the emperor sent Xu Huang to suppress Han Sui because he was worried about Ma Teng's fear of disaster.

Xu Huang naturally returned a salute to Ma Chao, but Ma Teng was slightly displeased when he saw the action of the two of them.But he concealed it very well, and then he opened his mouth and said to Ma Chao: "Chao'er, don't call your Uncle Han by his first name like that in the future. This time, your Uncle Han and Weifu have a heart-to-heart talk over wine, for the sake of the future of the two families."

Ma Teng's voice was extremely resonant, and at this time the night was quiet, so he could hear it very clearly.Especially Xu Huang, who was at the side, understood what Ma Teng's words actually meant, and his complexion became gloomy again.

Ma Chao knew that his father was generous and loyal, and he was afraid that Ma Teng would be intoxicated by Han Sui. Regardless of the presence of an outsider like Xu Huang, he immediately said, "Father, the Ma and Han families are now... well, I don't care about Han Sui Then he said something to you, but have you forgotten that just last night, he sent someone..."

"Shut up!" Ma Teng was suddenly furious, obviously unwilling to talk about it here, but thinking that Xu Huang was also at the banquet, he didn't bother to cover it up, and said, "Your Uncle Han has already explained to me what happened last night. No, it wasn't his doing at all. It was the leaders of the Qianghu tribe at the two ends of the snake and rat who provoked them. Tonight, your Uncle Han killed the two of them in front of me. And, in order for the two families to avoid misunderstandings in the future, you also Dangtang and Weifu became friends of eight obeisances."

"What?" Ma Chao didn't dare to elaborate on his own ears. It's not that he didn't think that Ma Teng and Han Sui were sworn brothers, but he couldn't believe that Han Sui would use this method to prove his innocence.

You know, in the society of the Han Dynasty, sworn worship was not a trivial matter.A real man is born in the world, so he promises a thousand gold.Once this sworn friendship is concluded, it is a blood oath to entrust their lives and protect their wives together.For example, the three Liu Guanzhang, and Jiangdong Sun Ce and Zhou Yu all used this method of imitating blood relatives to sublimate their relationship with each other, sharing life and death, and sharing honor and disgrace.

Of course, Lu Bu is a different kind of guy in this era.It is precisely because of this that all the generals who fought against Lu Bu later, even if they were defeated by force, had an extraordinary sense of superiority psychologically. The first sentence after seeing Lu Bu would always be contemptuous: "Bah, please kill your father!" Rong's thing, a family slave of the third surname!"

Therefore, when Ma Chao heard that Han Sui and Ma Teng had become close friends, he was in no mood to inquire about the banquet tonight.On the way back to the camp, the army looked very dull and strange, only Ma Teng looked happy.

When parting, it was naturally Pang De who came to see Xu Huang off.But what Xu Huang didn't expect was that Ma Chao also came this time.After the three of them said some insipid words, Xu Huang clasped his fists together and said, "You two, please go back. I will see you in Chang'an one day. A certain family invites you to drink, and you will not return if you are not drunk."

"Gongming, are you going...to return to Chang'an?" Pang De was taken aback, and Ma Chao looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xu Huang's interest was obviously not high, and a shy look appeared on his face when he heard the words: "I don't tell lies in front of the real person, in fact, you two also know why your Majesty came here. Since the Ma and Han families shook hands tonight, it must be You don’t think the court of the Han Dynasty is in your eyes anymore. It’s just that after the emperor’s wrong love for the Ma family, Wanwang and the two... Hey, let’s not talk about it, there is always a banquet in the world, let’s just say goodbye .”

After Xu Huang finished speaking, Ma Chao and Pang De were left with a bleak back, slowly blending into the deep night.Pang De and Xu Huang cherished each other, and finally couldn't help but turned his head and sighed to Ma Chao, and said regretfully, "Young master, are we going to be such disloyal people?"

"Uncle Pang, you..." Ma Chao looked at the beating dim light in Pound's eyes, and for a moment, a shadow flashed on his handsome face.

"Lingming, Gongming, it's a pity that I also have the word 'Ming' in Pound's handwriting, but compared with Gongming, hey!..." Pound also knew that Ma Chao couldn't change anything, but he still couldn't help sighing.

In the end, the two of them looked at the dark clouds that weighed heavily in the night, and remained silent for a long time.Unexpectedly, Xu Huang, who had left them, couldn't help stretching his face. He rubbed his hands with a smile and muttered, "Your Majesty, this time you're going to admire the general's acting skills, right? What's this called... yes, Sensational, the generals have learned to be sensational..."
