The scene of Xiu's attendant thrush is also seen by An Min.He watched his elder brother blacken Ma Liang's white eyebrows carefully, and couldn't help but said: "I usually see my elder brother being bold and unrestrained, carefree, but I didn't expect you to draw eyebrows for my sister-in-law."

He suddenly felt something was wrong when he said it, but seeing Ma Liang glaring at him, he smiled apologetically.Seeing Ma Liang for a moment, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay. Let's go!"

The two brothers responded with a smile, and the three immediately got on their horses.Galloping under the moon.

***

When Guan Yu went north to attack Xiangfan, Lu Meng and Lu Xun crossed the river in white clothes and swept Jingzhou.It is decided by the counties and counties in an instant.Some of the prefects of the Han Dynasty did not want to surrender. After Lv Meng's ingenious tricks and gentle persuasion, they were forced to surrender to Soochow.Only the Wuxi barbarians are distributed in Wuling, Guiyang, and Lingling counties.In particular, Wuling has the largest number and is often regarded as a difficult place to rule.However, due to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's policy of pacifying the barbarians and Vietnam in the south, the barbarians only obeyed Liu Bei.Since Lu Meng took over Jingzhou, the barbarians were unwilling to be reduced to mercenaries and serfs, and repeatedly raised troops to resist, so they were slaughtered.

When the barbarian King Shamoke heard about Liu Bei's eastward expedition, he was overjoyed and sent envoys several times to invite troops.However, Shuzhong and Wuling are far apart, and they cannot be connected for a while.The only way to join the Han army is to wait for Liu Bei's soldiers to enter Yiling and open up the Yishan County and Nantong Wuling.

What he didn't expect was that before Liu Bei attacked Jushan County, Ma Liang would come to Wuling alone to help him.

Ma Liang and the two Habayashi men disguised themselves, relying on Zhuge Jin's seal and the half seal found on the body of the dead Wu people's entourage, they passed without hindrance.Some local officials became suspicious and interrogated him. Because Ma Liang had been sent to Soochow many times, and he had excellent eloquence and astuteness, he had to let the other party be speechless. He had to let him go.The two Habayashi could only admire him very much. Although Xindao Ma Shizhong was a scholar, his ability to break through the barrier was not inferior to that of General Guan who passed five barriers and killed six generals.It is no wonder that Guan Yu, who has always been arrogant and despised scholars, would like to guard Jingzhou with Ma Liang and become friends who have forgotten their years.

The three of them galloped all the way and finally came to the depths of Wuling Wuxi.Xiongxi, Manxi, Youxi, Wuxi, Chenxi, five crisscross streams, beautiful mountains and rivers.Shamoke guards Yangjiazhai on the north bank of Qinglang Beach.Seeing Ma Liang and the other three coming, the defenders on the watchtower immediately bowed their bows and set up arrows, and shouted, "Stop coming, tell me your name!"

Ma Liang replied loudly: "Servant Ma Liang, under the order of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, come to help you fight against Wu and return to Han!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in Dazhai.Not long after, the gate of the village opened.A group of Jiaman generals came on horseback, and cupped their hands on the horse: "Your envoy is coming, but we are far away to welcome you. Please follow the future."

Ma Liang nodded and entered the village with the two Habayashi Lang.I saw that the savage general's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was not happy.Leading Ma Liang and the others meandering along the village, they walked all the way.At the moment the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.The village has beautiful scenery and is shaded by green bamboos.However, the doors and windows of every household were closed tightly, and the atmosphere of tension and depression was enveloped by the war.Halfway through the journey, Ma Liang asked the barbarian gently, "General, can you tell me by name."

The barbarian smiled and turned around: "Is this really a servant of the horse? I heard that the Ma family has five permanent members, and the white eyebrows are the best. There is no white hair between the eyebrows of this step, so it must be a spy from Wu."

Ma Liang smiled slightly: "Liang has a peculiar appearance. I'm afraid that Wu people will recognize him all the way. I would like to face the general frankly." As he said, he bent down and dipped his sleeves into the stream at his feet to wipe off the toner on his eyebrows.As a result, the eyebrows are all white.

The barbarian couldn't help but stare at Ma Liang in astonishment for a while, and then said with a smile, "You really are Ma Liang."

A young general from a barbarian village, facing the Han envoy, said this very rudely.The two Yubayashirou also sensed that something was wrong so far, they both put their hands on their swords.Seeing this, the barbarian shouted loudly: "Come on! Take it for me!"

With an order, the sound of weapons unsheathed all around.More than a dozen strong barbarians surrounded Ma Liang and the three of them.Anguo and Anmin drew their swords together in anger, Ma Liang immediately raised his hand to stop, and said softly: "I'm here to help you rebel against Wu and return to Han, why is the general like this?"

"There are many people with white eyebrows in the world. The seal letter of the big man's servant can also be forged. You don't have soldiers and horses, and you don't have money in Shu brocade. How can you be a spy from Wu people? I can't let you see the king until I find out your real identity!"

"Why is the general so suspicious that he has to see the Shu brocade before he believes that I am the envoy of the Han Dynasty?" Ma Liang asked back.

"Please forgive me, Ma Shizhong! Please stay in the Diaojiao building for a while." The barbarian cupped his hands.

Ma Liang's face darkened, and he said sharply: "As I expected, the general's surname is Prime Minister. He must be the descendant of Prime Minister."

The barbarian was startled, then smiled and said, "So what?"

Ma Liang said in a deep voice: "The past is over, the matter of the ancestors, the mistakes of the great Han emperors, I hope the general will be relieved. Don't forget the kindness you have shown me today. Liang is not the descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan. If you are obsessed with obsession and remember your personal grudges Not only will I be sorry for the clansmen by taking the lives of the whole clan, but I will also have the shame to go to see General Shan Cheng!"

"..." The barbarian surnamed Xiang frowned in thought, obviously caught in a dilemma.He didn't really doubt Ma Liang's identity, but because it was Ma Liang who came, he cared so much.

His ancestor was Xiang Shancheng.Xiang Shancheng was publicly elected as the King of Wuxi Barbarians during the Jianwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty.In the 23rd year of Jianwu, there was a severe drought in Yuanling, and the people of Li had no livelihood, but the imperial court's collection continued unabated.Xiang Shancheng then led tens of thousands of local bravery, seized the customs and counties, punished corrupt officials, and opened warehouses to help the poor.

Emperor Guangwu sent General Fubo Ma Yuan to lead [-] troops to conquer.In February of the following year, when the army arrived in Linyuan, Xiang Shancheng took advantage of the fact that Ma Yuan had marched for a long time and was exhausted, so he launched a night attack.Ma Yuanjun was stationed in the Hutoushan area on the south bank of the Yuanjiang River.Xiang Shancheng guarded against the natural danger of clear waves for several months, while Ma Yuan looked at the river and sighed, helpless.

It was midsummer, the weather was extremely hot, and the Han army refused to accept the water and soil. Most of the soldiers died of the epidemic, and Ma Yuan also died of illness in the army.Song Jun, the supervisor of the army, was afraid that the army's morale would fluctuate, so under the guise of the emperor's edict, he appointed Sima Lu Zhong as the head of Yuanling, and held the "edict" to negotiate a one-way peace with the prime minister.Xiang Shancheng considered the people of Wuxi and agreed to strike.After the peace talks were successful, Xiang Shancheng was trapped and killed by Song Jun.

At this moment, the barbarian in front of Ma Liang, as a descendant of Prime Minister Shan Cheng, has lost his ancestor's throne and is also dissatisfied with Samoko's approach to the Han Emperor.He and Ma Yuan were feuds, and meeting Ma Liang reminded him of the past that has been passed down from generation to generation.As soon as he raised his hand, the barbarians swarmed up, pushing and dragging Ma Liang and the three of them towards the stilted building in front of them.The two Habayashi Lang wanted to draw their swords to resist, but Ma Liang ordered him to stop them.

The barbarians locked Ma Liang and the others into a stilted building and sent someone to guard them.The majestic envoy of the Han Dynasty seems to have become a prisoner at this moment.

The three of them were stunned for a moment in the room, and the two Habayashirou sat down on the ground dejectedly, then looked up at Ma Liang in despair.I saw Ma Liang was opening the window to let the sun shine in, and then pointed to the mountain outside the window: "Do you know what mountain that is?"

The two brothers shook their heads.Ma Liang smiled slightly: "Ma Yuan conquered the barbarians and died of illness in Hutou Mountain. That is Hutou Mountain."

Ma Yuan was the founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty, helping Emperor Guangwu conquer the Quartet and pacify the world.He can be called the best general, and was named General Fubo, Marquis of Xinxi.It's a pity that because his daughter became the queen, Ma Yuan, as a foreign relative, was not among the 28 generals of Emperor Guangwu Yuntai.

Ma Liang looked at the blue sky and blue clouds outside the window: "When Ma Yuan had an audience with Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Guangwu asked him what his aspirations were? Ma Yuan replied: 'A man should bravely conquer all directions, and return his body wrapped in horse leather when he dies!'"

"Liang is also deeply touched by his Zhuang language. And he is old and strong, and he is nearly [-] years old, and he is still a general who conquers the Quartet. Cao Mengde said that the old man is standing on the ground, and his ambition is a thousand miles. He is talking about Ma Yuan!"

When Brother Yubayashi heard this, he couldn't help feeling proud in his heart.Anguo sighed: "Although the two of us have fought on the battlefield for a long time, our courage and courage are not as good as the servant who is a scribe."

Ma Liang smiled and said, "Ma Yuan is already seventy years old, yet he has come to conquer Wuxi. What's more, we will be strong when we wait."

Anguo smiled and nodded, then sighed: "Isn't the servant a descendant of General Ma Yuan?"

Ma Liang shook his head: "General Ma Mengqi is a descendant of Ma Yuan."

An Min said in a low voice: "If General Ma hadn't fallen ill, His Majesty would definitely send him to lead the army with the servant. The two of us can't protect the servant..."

Ma Liang shook his head: "I put you two in danger." He looked around the room and picked up a corner of the string lock.Presumably this was an old home that was once inhabited, but it is now abandoned here.It became a place of house arrest for captives.Even things were piled up randomly and never taken away.There are only three strings for strings, and barbarians use them for singing, dancing and singing during celebrations.Although Ma Liang had only learned the lyre, he was gifted and intelligent, and fortunately the string was not damaged. After a few plucks, he found out the position of each note, tuned the string, and the five notes were complete between light twisting and slow twisting.Brother Yubayashi looked at Ma Liang in confusion, wondering if the waiter still had the pleasure of playing with this barbarian musical instrument at this moment?

I saw Ma Liang turned around and smiled at them: "The prime minister once told me that not only the sun, moon and stars, but also mountains, rivers, vegetation, wind, clouds, water and fire. Even a Yaoqin, if used properly, can retreat thousands of troops. Nowadays, barbarians don't believe in Han envoys. I might as well play a piano." This string."

"..." Just fool us.The two brothers looked at each other helplessly.I saw Ma Liang picked up the tassel, walked to the window, knelt on the ground facing Hutou Mountain, and said in a loud voice: "General Fubo has a spirit in the sky, please help me, a big man, to help Liang successfully recover Wuling during this trip, so that we can use it in the future." Your Majesty will help the Han family!" After saying that, he kowtowed deeply.

The Yubayashi brothers were surprised, and knelt down together, praying together.

Ma Liang got up and sat by the window, plucking the strings.Joyful and old tunes flowed out.The Yubayashi brothers originally thought that the music played by Ma Liang must be profound.Unexpectedly, it was the well-known "Lower Riba Man".After playing it once and repeating the tune, Ma Liang began to sing.But the two of them couldn't understand a word.
