The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Before the heavy snow blocked the main roads of Xiliang, the Ma brothers finally returned to Long County with their troops. .

After seeing his two sons returning safely with their men and horses, Ma Teng finally felt relieved.Although it was planned and prepared to keep Ma Yue and the others in Chang'an before, after all, the father and son united together, and Ma Teng, who returned to Xiliang, was naturally extremely concerned, worried that something might happen to them in Chang'an. Let Ma Teng feel uneasy after returning here, and sent people out to investigate from time to time. Only then did he see his two sons rushing back.

Of course, as the leader of an army, Ma Teng was worried about his son's current situation in addition to worrying about what would happen to his son in the Central Plains, so he kept looking forward to their return.Because after bringing the men and horses back from the Central Plains, generals like Li Que left with their own generals one after another, and now they stay with Ma Teng, guarding Long County with only a few thousand men and horses.

In Xiliang, a place where the jungle preys on the weak, with only a few thousand troops in his hands, and facing many forces with malicious intentions and indistinguishable friends and foes, Ma Teng naturally couldn't live his life with peace of mind.It wasn't until seeing Ma Yue and the others brought back more than 1 people that Ma Teng felt relieved.

"Father!" As soon as the Ma brothers entered the city gate, they dismounted from their horses and saluted their father, and said, "It's really disturbing for my father to worry about us here these days!"

"Get up, you are taking risks outside because of your father, and you should be worried about your safety for your father." Ma Teng smiled and stepped forward to help his two sons up.Then he looked at the elite soldiers lined up in front of him, cupped his hands and said, "It's really hard for you to let everyone take the risk to stay in Chang'an this time. If you can come back without humiliating your mission this time, I, Ma Teng, will not treat you badly in the future." of."

"We swear to share honor and disgrace with the general, and live and die together!" These soldiers replied immediately, full of passion.It was because they had obtained a lot of benefits in Chang'an, and Ma Yue had already distributed part of the property to them, so they followed the Ma family so wholeheartedly.

"Okay! You have come from far away to work hard, so you should rest more in the barracks for the past two days. And you two, you probably haven't had a good rest these days. Your mother is worried to death, so go home now." " Ma Teng immediately looked at the two sons, full of concern.

"Yes. The boy really misses his mother, and he hasn't been with his mother to fulfill his filial piety for two years. This time, he finally has the opportunity to spend more time with his mother." Ma Yue said with a smile.

In this way, the two brothers of the Ma family handed over the army to Ma Teng and others, and they continued to go to Long County on horseback.Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, Ma Yue realized that he had not really stayed here for a long time.

In the previous year, he had entered the Central Plains with Dong Zhuo's army, so naturally it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to come back.Before that, he had always been in Lintao City with Dong Zhuo, and he rarely came back once a year to see his parents.In addition, he has not been in Long County for a long time, and a series of things happened not long after he came to this world, so it can be said that his impression of this small town is a bit blurred at this time.

But Ma Chao beside him didn't feel this way anymore. He didn't look around looking for the feeling of the past like his younger brother, but said thoughtfully: "Second brother, have you found out, father see He seems to be full of worries, and there seems to be some problem. Do you think why he is like this?" With the growth of age and the improvement of experience, Ma Chao is no longer as foolish as before. Seeing things became clearer.

Ma Yue glanced at his elder brother and said with a smile: "I just came back from the Central Plains just like you, and I'm not a roundworm in my father's stomach. How can I know why he is troubled? If you want to know, you can ask Ask your father if you don't know."

"No, you must have seen some clues by answering this way, so you should tell me quickly." Ma Chao was not fooled, he and Ma Yue had a very good relationship, and the other party's thoughts naturally couldn't be hidden from him.

Seeing this, Ma Yue had to smile wryly and shook his head: "Because I just came back, now is not the time to say those depressing words. But since you can see it, then I will say it directly. Didn't you find it when you entered the city? Is the strength of the defenders very weak? Also, the number of residents in this city does not seem to be much larger than before, what does this mean?"

"You mean... those guys who kept saying that they would serve their father as their master have already betrayed their promises and left. And the people from the Central Plains that we worked so hard to move here were also taken away by them?" Speaking of which, Ma Chao's eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and his hands on the rein tightened even more.

Ma Yue nodded helplessly: "I think that's the case. In fact, this was already in my expectation. They were not willing to submit to their father, and at that time we brought most of the people outside, so they naturally didn't Any scruples. As for those people, anyone in Xiliang who wants to make a difference will not give up. It is reasonable for them to snatch them away when their father is unable to compete with them. matter."

"It's really deceiving!" Ma Chao couldn't help snorting, if those generals were in front of him at this time, he would definitely kill them all without hesitation!Then he gritted his teeth and said, "These treacherous bastards, it's thanks to us for doing so many things for them, but in the end it's just taking advantage of them for nothing!"

"This is the most direct stake. They just chose the one that is most beneficial to them, so we can't ask them to make sacrifices for us." Ma Yue just said indifferently, neither happy nor angry.

At this time, Ma Chao saw his younger brother's appearance, and suddenly his heart moved: "You have expected this result, but you have never revealed it. Could it be that you... already have a way to deal with it?"

"Since they have done such a thing, they will definitely be punished as they should. Xiliang soldiers and civilians all watched how many things our Ma family did, but they were betrayed by these people in the end. They will suffer when the time comes." Yue smiled confidently, and then said: "But now is not the time for us to fight back. Now everyone has just come out of the chaos of wars in the Central Plains, and what we need most is to recuperate instead of resuming civil strife. And now the heavy snow is about to make the west The cool road is completely cut off. Even if we want to avenge this, we will have to wait until next year. So what we should do now is to wait, wait for everyone to slow down, and wait for the right time and place to start leaning towards us. "

Ma Chao saw that his younger brother had reached this point, so naturally he couldn't force him to ask any more questions, and they had already arrived at the door of the house after talking all the way, and it was time to visit his mother next, so of course it was not suitable to talk about these heavy topics .

Mrs. Ma is naturally very concerned about her two sons who are away, and now seeing them returning safely, she is of course very happy.I kept asking them about their experiences abroad, whether they were used to life in the Central Plains, whether they had suffered hardships there or not.In this regard, the two brothers answered one by one very patiently.

Perhaps for men, making contributions comes first, and life and death and family can be put aside first.But for a woman, especially when she is a wife and mother, the family becomes the most important thing in her heart.Her husband and son don't need to have much future, as long as they are healthy and by her side, she is very satisfied.

But this time, the three of Ma's father and son went to the Central Plains one after another, and still made enemies with many people, so Ma was naturally very worried.After asking a lot of questions and talking about the situation at home, Mrs. Ma finally realized that the two sons had just returned home from Long County, so he smiled and said: "Okay, you have all returned. Our three mothers also have plenty of time to talk, so you all go back to your respective yards to rest. Chaoer, you and your wife have also been married for a while, but you haven’t given birth to a son and a half for your mother. Don't just focus on big things anymore, this matter of incense is not small."

"Yes, my son understands." Ma Chao smiled wryly, but still complied.In fact, he and his wife have a good relationship, but he has nothing to do because he wants to build a career. He has urged this mother many times, and she mentioned it again when he came back this time, which made Ma Chao quite embarrassed.

As for Ma Yue, he also glanced at his mother worriedly, fearing that she would also tell him about the marriage, after all, he has not been married until now.But for people who have the thinking of the next generation in 2000, a teenager under 20 years old really shouldn't get married. Of course, Ma Yue doesn't want to mention marriage so soon.

But today, Mrs. Ma didn't mention this, but just smiled at Ma Yue with some deep meaning: "Yue'er, you should go back and rest quickly."

"Yes, my son will leave!" The two brothers of the Ma family left the mother's bedroom and came outside.After saying that his mother's attitude towards the two brothers was very unfair, Ma Chao broke up with the brothers.And Ma Yue also turned back to his small courtyard with a trace of doubt.

Before coming to the small courtyard, Ma Yue found that nothing had changed when he left a year ago, and the small courtyard was still very tidy. .But as soon as he entered the courtyard gate and came to the front room, he was suddenly stunned. A slim woman in white fur was coming out of the room. When she saw him, she was stunned. .

"My servant, Diao Chan, has seen the young master!" Seeing Ma Yue, the woman immediately showed joy on her face, and then flushed again, but she still reacted quickly, and bowed down to him gracefully.This girl is Wang Yun's adoptive daughter, Wang Wei who was snatched from his house by Ma Yue later - Diao Chan.
