Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 578 A good son-in-law and a good wife
Dangdang seems to be the diversion of eight rivers, and it is obvious that the majestic city stands alone.

Even though it has been more than a year since he came to Chang'an, Ma Zhong still inevitably stops and sighs every time he looks at the misty Qinling Mountains lying eight hundred miles away.

Next to him, a young man dressed as a general suddenly laughed and said:

"We are newlyweds in Dexin. If you are still attached to Guanzhong and won't leave, I will go find my brother and explain myself. I will not embarrass you."

Ma Zhong glanced at the heroic general, threw the volume in his hand helplessly and asked:

"Don't want to go? Ma Dai, let me ask you, General Ma is going out of Hedong to attack Shangdang on the order of the Lord."

"Then if the Shangdang continues to advance eastward, which of the three places in Guangping, Wei and Hanoi should be taken first? How many troops and horses are there in these three places? Who are the guards? Where are the passes?"

Ma Dai scratched his head. He could tell a thing or two about Hedong, but he knew nothing about Hedong.

Ma Zhong continued to ask:

"Even if these geographical customs can be ignored for now, how much armor does the horse general need to lead the army? How much rations are needed for the horse infantry and Qiang cavalry? What is the difference between the rations used by the war horses for rapid advancement and normal times?"

Seeing Ma Dai's silence, Ma Zhong continued his pursuit:
"Even this important task of the march can be ignored. How many strong cities do we have to march east this time? Which ones can be bypassed and which ones must be captured? If we need to capture the city, how many military craftsmen should we ask to accompany us?"

"Don't talk about it anymore, Dexin."

Ma Dai looked bitter:
"I know that my brother always discusses matters. Why can Dexin go in and teach privately, but why can I only guard the door?"

This may be the reason why the elder brother insisted on admitting his kinship to Ma Zhong regardless of his face.

Ma Zhong was not an aggressive person, so he immediately cupped his hands and said in apology:

"The Military Affairs Committee has been very busy recently and has had little rest. I made a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Ma Dai immediately got off his horse and took the reins from Ma Zhong's hand, and led the way forward without any explanation:

"That being the case, Brother Dexin, just take a short rest. I know the road back to camp very well, so I'll feel at ease."

"How does this work?"

"How can this be impossible? There are many good and brave warriors under my brother's command, but few who can work hard."

Ma Dai led Ma Zhong's horse with a joyful look on his face, and looked back and said:

"Brother Dexin, please rest assured that we are going out this time. As long as Ma Dai is still alive, I will not cause any harm to my brother!"

"This is good for my sister-in-law."

In the middle of laughing and crying, Ma Dai, who was happily in front of him, thought of something again:
"This time, Duke Xuande sent a general to lead the infantry army to coordinate with his brother's cavalry army. The general's name is Huang Quan. It is said that he is also from Langzhong. Does Brother Dexin know you?"

"Huang Quan and Huang Gongheng? This man is a great talent in Langzhong. With the help of this man, you will have no worries about getting elected to the party!"

Ma Dai didn't understand, but seeing Ma Zhong's face full of joy on the horse, he became happy too.

In an elegant little house in Chang'an City, Li Gong was not happy at all at this moment.

After looking at the sumptuous but untouched meal on the table, as well as the four pairs of bowls and chopsticks placed neatly, Li Gong turned his head and met the same helpless eyes as Ma Zhong's father, and then the two old men sighed together. Take a breath.

"Dexin said the military affairs are busy."

"Shu'er said that she is also busy with government affairs."

"I said that General Ma Chao of Yongliang is famous and has many talented people under his command. He can't change the army without you, Ma Zhong?"

"I also said that there are talented people in the Imperial Academy and the Engineering Department. They are well-educated and well-educated. Why do we need a female generation to work so hard and hurt our appearance?"

So the two old men sighed together again. After a short moment of silence, Mr. Li slowly said:

"Both of my two sons are now in Chengdu. Dalang improved his sugaring method and won a commendation from Prefect Zhang, and he is expected to become an official based on his skills. Erlang and his widow... and his married wife Hehe Meimei bought a house and gave birth to a son and a daughter. "

"Now I can only worry about my little girl."

Upon hearing this, Father Ma Zhong said slowly:
"Dexin said privately that he would like to follow General Ma Chao to march eastward to drive away the bandits, restore Yanzhou and bring peace to the people."

Li Gong, who had fled from Yanzhou, felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He reached out to lift the wine bottle next to him and took the initiative to fill the cup for him:
"I know very well that Dexin is a good son-in-law. Since my children have not come back, why don't you and I have a drink together?" "That's exactly what I meant!"

So the two simply moved a small table over, shared some food and wine, and drank slowly:

"Dexin is a great son-in-law. I have been particularly fond of him from the beginning."

"The young lady of the Li family is also an example of virtue and virtue."

"Being able to follow Xuande to bring justice to the troubled times is an honor that others will envy."

"Alas, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos in the world, and Liu Yan was in chaos in Shu. At that time, I thought that the world was going to be divided into several kingdoms again..."

"How much chaos did Liu Yancai have? I have never seen the Cao thieves massacre the city like I have. There is no sound in the countryside, there are endless corpses floating in Surabaya, the carrion-eating birds are almost as fat as chickens, and the jackals are as fat as pigs. Pig, even if Liu Yan is in trouble, Yizhou can still be called the Kingdom of Heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhong's father silently expressed his gratitude to this in-laws. He was at a loss for words for a moment, and in the end he could only raise his glass and say:

"Fortunately, the troubled times are coming to an end."

Li Gong laughed:

"I only hope that before I bury my bones, I can see the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, see the Han Dynasty unite the world, see the Yanyuan Dynasty from the beginning, the world is prosperous, the four poles are safe, and the eternal life is long."

The two pottery cups collided in mid-air with a crisp sound.

With a "bang" sound, Zhang He knocked the pottery cup on the stone table, then raised his head and drank it all.

A ray of fire flowed down his throat and into his stomach, causing his whole body to tremble slightly. Then the hot feeling returned to his mouth along his chest, and only then did he notice the spicy taste in his mouth.

I was still not used to drinking this wine for the first time, but that didn’t stop me from making a happy comment:

"Good wine!"

But it seems that just two words are not enough to express the joy in his heart, so the wine glass in his hand was thrown by Zhang He with one hand, and it fell to pieces when it hit the courtyard wall, and the sound was equally crisp.

"Ma Youchang, you finally brought me a good gift!"

Ma Su, who was also sitting on the stone bench outside the wall, curled his lips and smelled the spicy alcohol smell that could not be contained by the wall. He filled the cup in front of him with tea and drank with Zhang Junyi across the wall.

After hearing the sound of the wine glass colliding with the wall twice, Ma Su said loudly:

"This thing is precious. It was sent to me by Duke Xuande. It is not a private property."

The voice in the wall suddenly hesitated:
"In that case... give you half the pot?"

"No, I am drinking tea by myself. Instead of giving me half a pot of sweet wine, why not give me some money to buy cane sugar."

After saying a few words without speculation, everything inside and outside the wall became quiet, and the two people in different moods drank among themselves.

It wasn't until the tea in front of him was half gone that Ma Su finally heard Zhang He ask another question:

"Ma Youchang...General Zuo, have you raised your troops and gone east by now?"

Without waiting for Ma Su's answer, he heard Zhang He continue talking to himself, with a hint of drunkenness in his words:
"Don't try to trick me. The people of Chang'an care about your lord very much, so you can tell whether he is in Chang'an or not at a glance."

"To the east from Tongguan, Hongnong Caoyang has unimpeded access. Only Shaanxian County can hold the line. However, if there is no dangerous pass and two unsound generals, we will lose if we defend for a long time."

"If Shaanxi County is defeated, the road to the Central Plains will be smooth and smooth!"

As he spoke, the voice suddenly became angry:
"I should fight to the death in Shaanxian County or stop the enemy at Taigu Pass in Yique Pass, instead of growing fat in the air!"

Hearing another sound of a wine glass breaking, Ma Su took a sip of tea out of boredom and wrote down on the paper in front of him, "There are no good generals in Yiquetaigu, Shaanxi County."

However, thinking about how he was wasting his time here and having all his war writings in vain, Ma Su secretly felt sad.

He peeled off a piece of sucrose and poured it into the tea. He shook it and took a sip. The sweet taste on his lips made Ma Su change his mind again:
You don't have to risk your life to fight, that's fine.
