Great Wei Nengchen
Page 264
Ma Teng's father was a "Tianshui Lan Ganwei" and later married a Qiang woman, which means that Ma Teng has half of the Qiang blood in his body. This special status allowed him to be a famous general of the Han family. People are also like ducks to water, so Ma Teng followed his father's method and married a Qiang girl, and gave birth to three sons-Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie!
In addition, Ma Teng's mother and wife are both from the "Zhelan tribe" of the Qiang people, and they are nobles in the tribe, so he intends to marry a Qiang woman to his eldest son Ma Chao, and even finds a good candidate up!
"Hehe!...Meng Qi has a 'Sun Moon Frost Sky Horse' in his crotch, and a 'Tiger Head Zhan Jin Spear' in his hand. He is invincible and brave. All the tribes in the Western Qiang respectfully call him General Shenwei. My brother has such a tiger, so naturally he is not afraid of that. Xiao Yi!" Han Sui complimented loudly on the surface, but he was deeply afraid in his heart, the reason why Ma Teng was able to take the position of the boss of various warlords in Xiliang was based on three conditions!
First, he was born in a famous family, and the name after General Fubo is taken out, that is a signboard made of iron, and it passes through the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty!
The second is the rich mineral deposits around Jincheng. Every year, tens of thousands of gold sands flow into Ma Teng's pockets. If he has money, he will naturally not have to worry about soldiers, horses, food and grass!
Thirdly, and most importantly, he has a good son. Ma Chao is only 19 years old this year, but he is brave and invincible. His head rolled and his blood flowed like a river, so he was feared by the Qiang people as General Shenwei!
"Hehe, my virtuous brother's praise!" When mentioning his son, Ma Teng spoke modestly, but his face showed a smug expression, but then he sank again, and asked his second son, Ma Xiu, "Where is Meng Qi now?" ? Why don't you come out to see the ceremony!"
Han Sui and Ma Teng are sworn brothers, according to their seniority, they are the uncles of Ma Chao's brothers. Now that the two of them talked for a long time in the lobby, Ma Chao did not come out to greet them. This is quite rude!
"This..., elder brother, he..., he feels cold occasionally, so it's not suitable to come out to see him!" Ma Tie's face was a little pale, and his speech was hesitant. The three brothers of the Ma family, the eldest brother Ma Chao is brave, and the third brother Ma Tie is clever. Honest, never lie!
"To tell the truth, where did your elder brother go!" Ma Teng's expression darkened immediately, knowing his son Mo Ruofu.
"Father, please forgive me. My eldest brother heard that the Qiang people were defeated, and even his cousin 'Zhelan' was taken prisoner. He took Pang De, Ma Dai and a dozen guards to Guanzhong to rescue them last night. He also said Let's meet that 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' for a while, and see who is the real mighty general!"
"Nizi! Nizi!...I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth!" Ma Teng yelled at the case angrily, but he didn't know how to reprimand him. After all, he was his own son. I also let him in.
Ma Chao's mother is the cousin of the previous chief of the "Zhelan tribe", so he and Zhelan are cousins, and Ma Teng also intends to match the two. Continuing to expand the Ma family's influence among the Qiang people, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, Guanzhong is now Xiao Yi's place, it is really like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, this trip may be unpredictable!
"Brother, calm down, the matter has come to an end, it is best to send someone secretly into the Guanzhong to bring Meng Qi's nephew back!" Han Sui comforted in a low voice, but he had other ideas in his heart, "Ma Chao is brave and invincible, but Xiao Yi It's not that he dares to provoke them, if these two people fight, no matter who wins and who loses, it will not be a bad thing for him, if luckily, both sides will be hurt, then~~"
"Hey! That's the way it is!" With a long sigh, Ma Teng hurriedly dispatched his generals, and the soldiers sneaked into the Guanzhong in separate ways. He must bring his son back. I hope everything will be in time!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………
Chang'an, the largest city in Guanzhong, is a prosperous and prosperous place. It is surrounded by eight waters inside, which is convenient for business travel. There is a straight official road leading directly to Luoyang, connecting the counties in Shandong. Thousands of people come in and out every day. It is very lively. Incomparably, due to the recruitment of soldiers recently, its prosperity has exploded several times in succession!
Looking around, there are countless youths from Guanzhong who come to apply every day. They are organized by the local government. Some come by car, some come by boat, and some are from wealthy families. Immediately, officers from various battalions rushed forward to fight for it. The expansion of the army this time was on a large scale. The Xuanjia cavalry recruited, the Modao soldiers recruited, and the camp recruited. Those colleagues in the field, with more wolves and less meat, in order to compete for the best source of soldiers, it can be said that the eight immortals crossed the sea among the battalions, and all methods were used!
Some people sent veterans with good eloquence to persuade them everywhere, promising all kinds of preferential conditions, and some simply put wine and meat at the gate of the camp. Directly dispatching people to set up teahouses and wine shops dozens of miles away from Chang'an City, specially intercepting the troops sending troops from all over the Hu, it is extremely busy!
When they came, they sent a carload of people, but when they left, they brought a large number of cattle, sheep, and even horses. This was the settling allowance issued by the governor-Xiao Yi, and counties and counties with a large number of recruits also rewarded war horses. Anyway, these Cattle, sheep, and horses are all bought for nothing from the Qiang people. Instead of holding them in their hands, they should be sent to the people. The land in Guanzhong is fertile and there are many pastures. With these cattle and sheep as seeds, the number will double in a few years. , Are you afraid that there will be no horses and cattle available?
Moreover, when these horses are among the people, it will be very convenient for the youths in Guanzhong to practice riding and archery. After a few years, when the youths come to join the army with all their martial arts, won't they even come back with their horses? The calculation is very clear, he is not at a disadvantage!
Due to the favorable conditions for recruiting soldiers, as many as [-] youths from Guanzhong came to join the army in just a few days. , is a division of tigers and wolves!
"Hehe!... The essence of Guanzhong, the iron-blooded warriors who dare to fight, are all in my hands!" Looking at the endless stream of troops joining the army, Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing up to the sky, and revised a sentence of the later Tang Taizong, which shows the pride in his heart !
However, Xiao Yi is not satisfied with the figure of 500. Guanzhong has always been a place where elite soldiers are produced. Although Li and Guo have been ruined by the two thieves in the past few years, the background is still there. There are millions of old Qin with a martial spirit. People are still there. The Qin Empire, which had a population of only 100 million, recruited a full [-] million troops in order to annex the six eastern countries. Almost every two men in Guanzhong were soldiers. In the end, all the people are soldiers!
Xiao Yi has no plans to recruit a million troops, and that's unrealistic, unless all the manpower in Guanzhong is squeezed out, but he also has a goal in mind - [-]!
He wants to recruit [-] soldiers this time, too much will damage the people's strength, and less will not be enough to mobilize.
One hundred thousand, just right!
386. Chapter 386 The visitor is not good!
Longmen is located fifteen miles southwest of Chang'an City, near the Weishui River. According to legend, a fisherman saw a big golden-scaled carp leaping into the air and transforming into a dragon, hence the name.
Because it is located at the key point of water and land, and it is the gateway of Chang'an, the imperial court specially set up a post station in Bibi, called Longmen Station, and businessmen and travelers like to pass through here. In addition to convenient transportation, they also want to stick to the word "Longmen" Blessing!
Even if ordinary people are like this, those youngsters who come to join the army are naturally flocking to them even more. Even those who do not enter Chang'an from this direction will make a detour to come here for good luck; , Xiao Weisheng General, if God blesses you, you can become the second of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', then it will really be -- a fish jumping over the dragon's gate, soaring into the sky!
There are many people who come to join the army, and the generals in charge of recruiting naturally set their sights on this place. Who doesn't want to grab the best and best soldiers, but there are more wolves and less flesh, and fierce competition is inevitable, so Each battalion has sent troops to set up a recruiting point here, each relying on its means to compete for resources!
The recruiter officer sent by the Xuanjia Army is "Fat Liu", with more than a hundred skilled fire soldiers, as well as carts of fat sheep and fine wine, just in front of the Longmen Station, a dozen marching cauldrons Line up, kill sheep, make soup...
Large chunks of fat mutton rise and fall in a boiling iron pot, and then add various seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, refined salt, etc., it is really fragrant, and there are piles of white flour pots next to it. You can eat as much as you want Eat as much as you want!
Guokui soaked in mutton soup is the favorite of Guanzhong people. This big killer is more effective than any recruitment notice. Anyone who comes to join the army is almost swarming over. They can’t be driven away. They are so angry The recruiting officers of the other battalions could only blow their beards and stare, but there was nothing they could do!
First of all, the culinary skills of "Fat Liu" are absolutely outstanding in the Han army. The mutton soup is pure, thick, and fragrant. Come.
Secondly, who is in the Xuanjia Army? That is the direct descendant of the direct line under the governor, the personal soldier among the personal soldiers, the number one trump card main force, the master who usually sits on horseback and looks up at the sky, and the Han army's battalions Among the school lieutenants, at least two-thirds came from Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and their origins are deep. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the soul of the Han army. Who would dare to rob people from this army?
"Everyone, eat well and drink well. It's not me - Fat Liu bragging. Even the governor has praised our craftsmanship. After drinking our mutton soup, I guarantee that all of you will be strong and fierce when you are on the battlefield. Killing people is like chopping vegetables, and within three to five years, you can definitely become a general!" Fat Liu Yangyang proudly stood beside a large iron pot, holding an iron spoon in his hand, and kept instructing his soldiers to add meat, add meat, etc. Soup!
"With your auspicious words, I don't dare to think about the high position of the general. As long as I can eat this kind of food every day, it will be a life like a fairy!" A large group of shirtless men, showing a burly figure, yes, they are all born killers!
Although he directed his subordinates to turn around, Fat Liu himself seemed to be rooted under his feet, and he was nailed there without moving. He would turn around to look at him from time to time, with a very respectful attitude, because there was a table of important guests there, who were more important than all the lives here. Adding it up is expensive, even adding meat and soup is done by "Fat Liu" himself, and he will never pretend to be someone else!
Not only 'Fatty Liu' is like this, but even the soldiers eating and drinking at the surrounding tables are equally weird, they are shouting and screaming everywhere, but they are the only tables eating in silence, as if they are afraid of disturbing someone , and when they drank the mutton soup, they didn't let go of their weapons with the other hand, so they were extremely vigilant!
Such a strange scene was immediately discovered by some interested people, and everyone looked there one after another, wanting to see what kind of character it was that the famous Xuanjia Army valued it so much!
A black-faced boy was drinking soup, not handsome in appearance, but very energetic, sitting there as stable as Mount Tai, next to him was a little girl with a very similar look and appearance, who was eating a leg of lamb with great joy, It seems that the two should be a pair of brother and sister!
Next to them were three young teenagers. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they couldn't hide their aura. They were holding a pot helmet and worrying about the big soup bowl in front of them. They seemed to be uncomfortable with this rough way of eating !
That's right, the black-faced young man is Xiao Yi. He has never been a person who does everything by himself. Although recruitment is important, it is enough to leave it to the generals under him. It not only trains the subordinates, but also relaxes himself. Why not do it!
Anyway, it's all right, I heard that 'Fat Liu' brought the fire-headed soldiers to hold a whole sheep banquet at the Longmen Station, Xiao Yi simply changed into casual clothes, and brought his younger sister Xiaojing and the Cao family brothers to taste it, which can be regarded as being with the soldiers. Happy!
"Why, isn't the pot helmet delicious?" Looking at the sad-faced Cao family brothers, Xiao Yi asked blankly, and the three of them were so frightened that they all bit the pot helmet in their hands, using all their energy to feed I didn’t forget to take a big mouthful of steaming mutton soup to show its sweetness, but my tongue curled up after being scalded, but I didn’t dare to spit it out, and my face turned red!
That's right, boys need to be raised extensively, girls need to be raised carefully, Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction, took a bowl of mutton soup, and carefully broke the pot helmet into it, felt the temperature before handing it to the person next to him Xiaojing, tell her to eat slowly, don't get burnt, in exchange for a sweet smile from her younger sister, and violent eyes from the three brothers of the Cao family!
"Tap-tap!...Tap-tap!" Just as everyone was eating happily, a rush of horseshoes suddenly sounded, from far to near, the speed was extremely fast!
Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw a group of more than ten riders galloping towards the recruiting point like a strong wind. The leader was a 'Sun Moon Frost Sky Horse'. It is eight feet tall, and when it runs, it neighs and roars, and its long tail flutters, like a white dragon; the most peculiar thing is that on the horse's buttocks, one left and one right, there are lines in the shape of the sun and the moon, which is amazing to see. !
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army have been with horses all year round, so they have to praise at this time, it is indeed a good BMW horse, with such power, such handsomeness, who in the camp is the "Master Cabbage" who likes to drink can match It's against all courts!
Looking at the horseback again, there is a young man about 20 years old sitting upright. His face is as white as jade, his sword eyebrows are high, his eyes are like lightning, his thin lips seem to be smeared with rouge. Xishu white brocade battle robe, tiger belt across the waist, and a 'tiger-headed golden spear' hanging beside the saddle. It really looks like a horse like a dragon, a man like a tiger, and mighty!
The Shuangxiao horse rushed forward in an instant, without any intention of slowing down. The startled people who were eating and drinking ran away, for fear that if they were not careful, they would become a puddle of mud under the horse's hooves!
Looking at the terrified and screaming crowd, the young man in brocade clothes on the horseback smiled contemptuously, clamped his legs, and held the reins in his hand, the sitting horse immediately stopped, raised its front hooves high, and neighed continuously towards the sky. A table, a soup bowl has not been touched!
"Good skill, good riding skills!" There are many people in the crowd who are knowledgeable, and they all applauded loudly. Just this stop and the area not only showed the rider's excellent riding skills, but also the coordination between the rider and the horse was perfect. I really don't know where it came from. Such a talented young man!
At the same time, more than ten riders from behind also arrived, all of them were Xiliang horses, and on the horses were also some burly men with knives, guns, bows and crossbows, everything was available!
The two people running in front, one is a black-faced burly man with a height of eight feet and a waist width of ten girths, with a calm expression, riding a black-maned horse, with a "thick-backed mountain machete" hanging from the saddle, and densely packed on the back of the knife. The blades are all serrated, and the blade can be as thick as a goose egg. Judging by its weight, it weighs about seventy catties. Such a heavy weapon cannot be used without the strength of the arms of several hundred catties!
The other was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of the brocade-clothed youth. He should be a brother of the same clan. Hanging a long gun!
Seeing this scene, 'Fat Liu' who was in charge of the recruiting point couldn't help but secretly frowned. He had developed his eyesight after fighting on the battlefield all these years. Although the ten or so cavalry who came didn't wear armor, they were sturdy and iron-blooded. They can't hide their enthusiasm, they can't be wrong, they are all veterans who have experienced many battles.
"This is the recruiting point. Since the other party is already a soldier, they naturally didn't come to join the army. Then what are they doing here?" Fat Liu wondered in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface. He still smiled and stepped forward. , Greeting the young man in brocade clothes to dismount and have dinner.
