Chapter 34 Ma Zhong

Liu Zhang left 10,000 people to Liu Xun to take charge of Chengdu, and he set off with 30,000 troops. The provincial governor went on a patrol, and the movement was naturally quite loud. All officials from all over the way came to visit him. Liu Zhang was very busy and his muscles were sour. The chief clerk Huang Quan advised him to march quickly. Since he wanted to rescue Brazil and take Pang Xi, of course, his troops were of great speed. When he arrived in Brazil like now, Pang Xi had already solved the barbarians, or had been solved by the barbarians. What's the point of your going? As a result, Liu Zhang asked his teacher and friend Zhou Qun and Zhang Yu to do a fortune. As a result, both of them said that things went smoothly this time, and Liu Zhang had a sign of being a marquis. When Liu Zhang heard this, he was so happy that he almost forgot everything he was surnamed. Naturally, Huang Quan couldn't listen to the words. Thirty thousand people walked on the road like snails, which took only ten miles a day.

Huang Quan sighed, but was helpless, so he simply refused to persuade him. Two days later, he resigned from his post as chief clerk and went home. He was from Langzhong, Brazil, and if he wanted to go home, he had to go north along the Taurus Road. After passing Jiange, he turned from Jiameng Pass to the waterway. Before entering Jiange, he had not noticed anything. As soon as he entered Jiange, he found something was wrong.

First, there were more guards in Jiange, and second, when he heard the inspectors talked, he mentioned the Chief Deng. He remembered that the guards of Jiange were surnamed Yang and a villager. He had just taken office, and when did he become Deng? He asked with sincerity, and then he realized that it was Pang Xi's engaged in Deng Zhi. He broke out in a cold sweat and stood blankly at the gate of the city for a long time without moving. When the people behind saw him standing stupidly, they started to clamor.

Deng Zhi was on the city tower. He had just heard someone say his name, but he didn't hear it clearly. At this time, he heard the noise below and walked down from the city tower with his guards. He saw Huang Quan, who was pushed by the soldiers, unsteadily.

Huang Quan also saw Deng Zhi. He quickly lowered his head, hid aside with the soldiers' push, and turned around to leave the city. The entourage beside him was pushed unhappy by the soldiers and was defying reason with the soldiers. Suddenly, he saw Huang Quan not going into the city but leaving the city, and suddenly shouted: "Sir, you have gone wrong, we should go north."

Huang Quan complained secretly, turned around and glared at the entourage fiercely. Just as he was about to leave, the two guards beside Deng Zhi had already squeezed forward and blocked him. When the entourage saw the two men's faces fierce and showed bad looks, he was shocked. He was about to come forward to speak, but Huang Quan grabbed him. With such delay, Deng Zhi had already walked in front of Huang Quan.

"So it's Huang Zhuan." Deng Zhi bowed and smiled: "Since you're here, why bother to leave?"

Huang Quan sighed. He knew the name Deng Zhi, but he had never seen Deng Zhi before. He did not expect Deng Zhi to know him. Seeing Deng Zhi like this, it was obvious that it was impossible to leave again. He smiled and returned the courtesy and said, "It turns out it is Deng Bomiao, I'm lucky to be lucky."

Deng Zhi smiled and shook his hand: "Don't be polite by the Chief Huang. Deng Zhi was just guarding Jiange by the order of Prefect Pang to prevent the Brazilian rioters from going south. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhuan was in trouble to welcome him here, so please forgive me. I wonder where Huang Zhuan was going?" Deng Zhi looked at Huang Quan's entourage, with a polite smile on his face, but his hand naturally pressed the knife ring around his waist. More than a dozen guards around him also inadvertently surrounded Huang Quan in the middle.

Huang Quan calmed down instead. He glanced at the guards, then looked at Deng Zhi, and Wan'er smiled: "What's the point of Bo Miao? I'm just a resigned chief clerk. Now I want to go back to my hometown in Langzhong, and I only bring some clothes to change my clothes. Bo Miao's posture is that he suspects that I am greedy and wants to search?"

Deng Zhi laughed and let go of the knife ring with his hand: "Where did Huang Zhuan say this? How could I suspect Huang Zhuan be greedy? Who doesn't know that Huang Zhuan's family in Langzhong will have a wealthy fortune, and how could the reputation of the Huang family be ruined because of those small profits? Since Huang Zhuan is going to return to Langzhong, I happen to have a messenger to go to Langzhong. Why should I take Huang Zhuan for a long time? It's better to have a look on the way."

Huang Quan bowed and thanked: "I dare not have Lao Bomiao. We didn't bring any property. Besides, this is my hometown. I still recognize the way, so I dare not disturb Bomiao." As he said that, he turned around and called the follower to leave. Deng Zhi stepped in front of him and stopped him and smiled: "Master Huang, why be so polite? Although you didn't bring any property, you also know that the mountain people in Langzhong are now besieging Langzhong City. If you meet those mountain people, it will be dangerous. Anyway, I will go along the way and there is no trouble. The chief clerk should not be polite. Come on, take your luggage for Huang. Zhuan Huang, please go to the city to rest for a while before leaving, so that I will have the opportunity to ask Huang for advice."

When the guards heard this, they rushed up without saying a word, snatched the luggage from the entourage and drove away the carriage. Deng Zhi turned sideways, gave up the helpless Huang Quan, and then followed him in. Huang Quan complained, but he was helpless. He knew that Deng Zhi had already become suspicious of him, and now he couldn't turn back, so he could only follow Deng Zhi into the city. Deng Zhi invited him to have a meal, and then arranged ten guards to protect Huang Quan and travel north, and accompanied him to send a letter to Cao Chong.

Cao Chong is not Liu Zhang. He has no time to enjoy the welcome and send off from local officials, or he dare not enjoy this treatment. After leaving Nanzheng, he hid in the team and did not show up. In order to avoid exposure, he even handed over the Tiger Soldiers camp to Hao Zhao, and only brought twenty Tiger Soldiers and Dian Man with his bodyguard. Meng Da came out for socializing along the way. It was not until after passing Jiameng Pass and turned into a waterway and went on a warship that he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sun Shangxiang, who was wearing armor, "I am finally relieved now, and I don't have to hide it all the time."

Sun Shangxiang raised her arms and let out a long sigh: "Yes, it's so uncomfortable to hide every day, it feels more comfortable when you get on the boat."

Meng Da smiled and said, "General, Madam, please hurry up and relax. You will be in Langzhong in two days. How many days will you have to hide at that time?"

Cao Chong sighed, shook his head, bent down and got into the cabin. Sun Shangxiang looked at the mountain scenery on both sides of the shore for a while, and then followed him reluctantly. Not long after the two sat down, Hao Zhao, wearing ordinary leather armor, followed in, looked up and down, and let out a long sigh.

Seeing his nervous look, Cao Chong couldn't help laughing out loud, and reached out to greet Hao Zhao and sat down: "Bo, what are you worried about? Although the two hundred tiger soldiers are not by my side, Zi Jing is there and Zi Qian is by my side. What can I do here? You don't have to be worried."

Hao Zhao shook his head and whispered: "General, although Zijing is credible, he is all led by Yizhou troops. Although he has never treated them badly under the general's tent, we are now going to grab the territory of Yizhou. If some of them have a particularly strong rural concept, wouldn't the general be dangerous? The son of a thousand gold medal cannot sit in the hall, so it's better to be careful in everything."

Cao Chong nodded: "There is Lao Bo. Let the soldiers rest well these two days. When we arrive in Langzhong, we will inevitably have to fight. We are like us going deep into the tiger's den. If we can't shake them all at once, it will be really dangerous."

Hao Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, General, I will prepare it."

Two days later, the boat arrived in Langzhong. As soon as the boat was approached, Cao Chong crawled out of the cabin and stood at the head of the boat and stretched his waist happily. Before he could stretch his waist, he saw more than a dozen people running out of a valley in the distance, some holding packages in their hands, some holding old men, and looking back in horror. He had just run out of the valley for dozens of steps, and then followed by more than a dozen barbarians holding swords and shields, screaming and strode behind the people, slashing the last old man to the ground with a knife and a knife. Some went to grab the scattered packages, and some chased the people in front.

Cao Chong's face suddenly sank. He waved to Meng Da, who had already reached the shore with an embarrassing look on his face: "Take all those Ba people over to me." Meng Da responded and ran away with Qinweitun. Without much effort, he brought more than a dozen Ba people to him. A young couple was accompanied by him. The woman looked frightened and hid behind the young man, looking at Cao Chong with a bad face in horror.

"General, the people have been brought here, they are the subordinates of the head of the head of the head." Meng Da waved his hand and several personal guards dragged the ba people to Cao Chong, punched and kicked them, knocking them to the ground.

"Who told you to do this?" Cao Chong asked in a cold voice.

"We...we are here to collect debts, this..." A ba man twisted his shoulders stubbornly and tried hard to get up from the ground. He stared at Cao Chong with his eyes. His half-baked Chinese words were difficult to understand. Before he could finish his sentence, Cao Chong angrily shouted: "If you want to collect debts, go to Langzhong City to find the prefect Pang, why are you looking for these people? It's outrageous. Is Park Hu just leading the troops like this? Ziqian, let someone call Park Hu to me."

When the ba man heard that Cao Chong was so rude to Park Hu, he immediately saw that the master was not a small person. He was afraid that he would cause trouble today and would not dare to twist him anymore. He knelt on the ground honestly and looked at Cao Chong without saying a word.

"Are you a commoner in Langzhong? Come and report it?" Cao Chong turned his face to look at the young couple, and asked in a relaxed tone.

The young couple saw that he scolded the Ba people and was not angry and powerful. However, they spoke to them very kindly, and their nervousness was slightly relieved. The young man helped the woman walk to Cao Chong together, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed twice, and then sobbed and said, "Sir, the villain's surname is Ma Zhong, and he is a commoner outside Langzhong City. When these Ba people first arrived a month ago, they were quite stable, and later they started to grab things. In the past two days, they have been in the house and murder. Many people in the village were killed by them. If the villain had not run fast, the villain's husband and wife would have died today. Thank you for your help."

"Ma Zhong?" Cao Chong hesitated for a moment and glanced at Meng Da. Meng Da thought he was going to ask about the situation at that time, so he quickly replied: "General, he is telling the truth. He ran quickly with his wife on his back, but after all, he carried someone and was not as good as those Ba people, so he was caught up and almost killed by them. Fortunately, we arrived."

Sun Shangxiang exclaimed, stepped forward to look at Ma Zhong, then looked at his wife, and praised: "Boy, you are quite conscientious. You can still carry your wife on your back when you run away. It's not bad, and you have a future of training. How about it, follow me?" Ma Zhong and his wife felt that their voice was a little wrong, so they raised their heads and looked at him carefully, and immediately discovered Sun Shangxiang's true face. They looked at each other in surprise. When did the Han Dynasty have a female general?

Cao Chong pulled Sun Shangxiang away, who wanted to recruit soldiers and horses, and gave her a blank look, thinking to herself, what do you know? If Ma Zhong is not good enough, he is the great man in history, how could he be robbed by you halfway? He knew that there were two great men and horses in history during the Three Kingdoms. One was from the Eastern Wu, who had never been visible but had never been visible. He could not tell the face and grabbed the fierce man Guan Yu, and the other was from Yizhou. He could not remember whether he was from Langzhong. He was once praised by Liu Bei for being a good man.

A person like Huang Quan became the general of Zhennan at the end of the Three Kingdoms. He initially thought that the two were the same person, but after careful investigation, he realized that they were just the same name and surname. But he didn't know if the Ma Zhong was the same Ma Zhong, and if he was the same name and surname. He raised his hand and asked Ma Zhong to get up, and carefully looked at him for a long time. Seeing that he was wearing something that the farmers often said, but the robe worn by scholars, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you a scholar?"

Ma Zhong was puzzled by his smile and nodded and responded: "The villain has read a few days."

Cao Chong nodded: "The Ma family in Langzhong is a big family. Do you have any relationship with the Ma family?"

Ma Zhong felt a little embarrassed: "I am a member of the Ma family, but I am just a sect. My family has been in decline for a long time."

Cao Chong said "Oh", touched his chin and thought for a while and said, "When you were a child, you were raised by your mother at your grandfather's house, and your mother's surname was Hu, and your name was Hu Du?"

Ma Zhong suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at Cao Chong with his fingers, and then found that he was a little rude. He quickly retracted his hand and said nervously: "General... How do you know?"

Cao Chong smiled very wisely and said, "Before I came, someone had calculated a divination for me and said that I would meet someone like you here."

Ma Zhong looked back at his wife in surprise, and his wife also looked at him in surprise. The two seemed to have picked up gold. They stared at each other for a long time, pointing at each other, but there was no complete sentence in their mouths. The two of them spoke as if they were mutely speaking for a long time, and Ma Zhong then turned around and stammered, "Is the general's surname Cao or Wei?"

Cao Chong was stunned. It was a secret that he came from Hanzhong to Brazil. The banner he used was also Meng Da. No place showed his identity. How did Ma Zhong know that his surname was Cao? Seeing that he was surprised, Ma Zhong quickly explained: "Half a year ago in Chengdu, Mr. Zhou Zhongzhi showed me the photos and said that I would meet a nobleman with the surname Cao or Wei this year."

Cao Chong was depressed. He pretended to be a charlatan based on his memories of his previous life. Unexpectedly, this world was full of charlatans. It was not unusual at all. Zhou Zhongzhi heard Meng Da say that his surname was Zhou and his name was also from Langzhong, Brazil. Like Zhang Yu, he was engaged in the work of Liu Zhang's teacher and friend. They were both good at Zhou Yi. It is said that he was even more awesome than Zhang Yu. He watched the starry sky at night at home. This was in the Han Dynasty, and this was the case that he could kill his nine clans with this one. Although Meng Da heard Meng Da say that Zhou Qun was very effective, as an intellectual young man who had been influenced by modern science, he did not believe in this at all, otherwise he would not have used the iron-mouthed Zhu Jianping of Yecheng as a gun. But now there is a living example standing in front of him, but he couldn't help but have some surprises.

"Yes, my surname is Cao, my name is Chong, and my name is Cangshu." Cao Chong pressed his surprise and tried his best to show even a trace of the kingly and domineering aura that had been devoted to practicing to conquer the Ma Zhong in front of him. I wonder if he was really successful in training, Ma Zhong bowed his head and knocked his head on the ground, which was three more loud than before: "Ma Zhong has seen the general and is willing to serve the general."

Cao Chong felt so happy. It was the first time that someone worshipped him so devoutly in front of him so devoutly. He quickly bent down and helped Ma Zhong up and said, "Get up, there is no need for such a great gift. What kind of virtue can I be worthy of, how can I be valued by my feet..."

Before he could finish his humility, Ma Zhong rushed to say, "The general doesn't know anything. Mr. Zhou Zhongzhi is from Langzhong. There is no one who is not sure of it. Since he said that the general is my noble person, the general must be my noble person. Please accept Ma Zhong."

Cao Chong's smile froze. After a long time, he was not my domineering spirit, but Zhou Qun's iron mouth cut off, which made Ma Zhong so anxious to join his disciples. Alas, forget it. No matter what the reason is, no matter what the reason is, if you take on a great man, don't care about the domineering spirit.

"Get up, get up, you can follow me first." Cao Chong said with a little discouraged. Ma Zhong was very excited. He didn't hear the depression in Cao Chong's tone. He stood up happily and pulled his wife to the side.

When Park Hu rushed to Cao Chong, he ran out of breath. When he saw the few Ba people kneeling on the ground, he stepped forward and punched and scolded him. The ugly sounded that Sun Shangxiang blushed. The Ba people were beaten to the ground, but they bit their mouths and carried it without saying a word. Park Hu secretly looked at Cao Chong. Seeing that Cao Chong's face was still bad, he knew that this matter would not be good today. He pulled out his sword and unsheathed it with a clang. The sword flashed, and the head of the Ba people was beheaded and blood was sprayed out of the distance. The Ba people's head was rolled out of the distance, and his eyes were wide open, as if he had not figured out how Park Hu could kill him with one knife.

"Head, the leader..." When the other Ba people saw Park Hu pulling a knife to kill someone, they realized the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to pretend to be cool anymore. They burst into tears and snots, begging for mercy: "Head, the leader, the leader, the leader, the leader, the leader, the wrong one, we know we are wrong..."

When Meng Da saw this, he grabbed Park Hu and pleaded with Cao Chong, "General, please spare their lives."

Cao Chong knew that he could not force Park Hu was too tight now, so he sighed and said, "The Park leader doesn't need to kill them all. Ask them, if you haven't killed anyone these days, just save their lives."

Park Hu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked: "General, don't worry, I will definitely check the water and I will not let anyone kill people go."

Cao Chong waved his hand: "Pu's head man is very wise, it's so good. You are here to collect debts from Pang Xi, not to steal the people. This must be clear. From today on, we will restrain the entire army. If anyone kills people and robs things, they will be killed without mercy."

Park Hu nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, General, I will tell you a few leaders."

"That's good, don't worry, I will not miss you for your benefits." Cao Chong turned around, "If the person who leads Park is interested, I will leave you a house in Xiangyang and go to Xiangyang for a walk whenever you have time."

Park Hu was overjoyed and quickly bowed his hand to thank him, then dragged the guys who committed the crime away.

When Pang Xi heard that the reinforcements from Hanzhong arrived outside the city, he immediately sent Gongcao to welcome Meng Da and others into Langzhong. He was in the court of the prefect's palace. When he saw Meng Da and Zhang Wei entering the door under dozens of guards with tiger backs and waists, he couldn't help but feel a little envious. Meng Da was not doing well in Chengdu, and he also came to him for opportunities, but he felt that Meng Da's father's reputation was too bad, so he didn't use him. He just took care of him for a few meals and found an excuse to send him away. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few months, Meng Da was in a prosperous position under the tent of General Zhennan. Even his fucking guards were such a tall and strong Northern Army.

Sun, I was wearing all the fine iron armor, which was better than what I was wearing.

Pang Xi cursed twice sourly, smiled and greeted him, and shouted affectionately from a distance: "Zijing, are you okay?"

Meng Da laughed at him, walked to him and bowed, but did not stand still, but turned sideways and separated from Zhang Wei, revealing Cao Chong in the middle: "Sir Pang, this is Lord Cao, General Zhennan."

Everyone who was smiling next to him was stunned, and the fake smile on Pang Xi's face immediately froze. He looked at Cao Chong with a smile, then looked at Meng Da and Zhang Wei with the same smile, and said in disbelief: "General Zhennan, Lord Cao?"

"It's the boy." Cao Chong smiled: "How are you doing these days? I heard that the mountain people outside were rushing into the mansion and took the head of the prefect."

Pang Xi made several thoughts in an instant, and then knelt down in front of Cao Chong with a plop: "Sir, I am wronged. Please make the decision for me."

Cao Chong said "Oh" unexpectedly, and walked slowly into the prefect's mansion bypassing Pang Xi, looked up at the beautifully decorated roof, then reached out and touched the gold and silver utensils everywhere in the house. Then he walked to Pang Xi's main seat, Dian Man and Sun Shangxiang, Deng Ai immediately stood behind him, and Pang Tong and Fa Zheng also walked in from outside the door, sitting one by one, twenty tiger soldiers protected Cao Chong in half a moon. Just as Cao Chong was looking at the prefect's mansion, Hao Zhao commanded two hundred iron armored tiger soldiers to rush in from outside the door, and soon controlled the prefect's mansion.

The atmosphere in the prefect's mansion immediately dropped below freezing point.

The officials of the prefect's office headed by Pang Xi were pale. They all saw that the general Zhennan who sneaked into Langzhong had a bad intention and might have a life. Pang Xi also came back to his senses at this time. The Ba people outside the city might just be the tricks made by this little man, the big devil General Zhennan. Unfortunately, he realized it was a bit too late.

"Pang Taishou." Cao Chong waved and called Pang Xi in front of him: "Although I don't know if the reason why the Ba people besieged the city is true, but from the decorations in the prefect's mansion, we can probably guess what the Ba people said was probably not a storm. As the prefect of a county, Pang Taishou would not know the role of Banyan Man in my Han Dynasty, but he did such a thing and forced the civil war. I am afraid that he would not be able to explain it in front of Liu Yizhou."
