Section 40: Success
Chapter 40 Success
Ma Teng looked at the thousand Xiliang cavalry in brightly dressed and Yan Xing standing upright on the horse, and said bitterness, but he had no choice but to put them in. After he placed them, he returned to the mansion and sat down for a long time. Thinking that in the end, someone called Ma Chao and others, and called Ma Yunlu together.
"I want to become an official in the court." Ma Teng said straight to the point: "I have notified Lord Cao that he will ask His Majesty for the order as soon as possible. Meng Qi stays here and leave it to you. Xiuer Tie'er will follow you."
"Father, I'm afraid it's inappropriate..." Ma Chao was overjoyed. He was only worried when he thought of his family under the surveillance of Cao Cao in Yecheng from now on.
Ma Teng raised his hand to stop him: "Meng Qi, before leaving, I will tell you that our family's life is not only in the hands of Cao Cao, but more in your hands. If you can keep this foundation in peace, I may have a good ending, and my Ma family may have a day of revival. If you still have random thoughts and make an appointment with that Korean, I am afraid that my Ma family will be cut off from your hands from now on, and then I will wait in front of the ancestors and the clans to deal with you."
Ma Chao was shocked and bowed in front of Ma Teng in cold sweat: "Son doesn't dare, I must obey my father's words."
"I hope so." Ma Teng stared at Ma Chao tightly, and after a long time, he said: "Although Yun Lu is from her daughter's house, she has a good knowledge. If you have anything to do, you should discuss with her more."
"No!" Ma Chao agreed to whatever he had. No matter what Ma Teng asked, he would come down.
"Let Pang De bring a thousand iron cavalry to me," Ma Teng said again.
"Father, Ling Ming..." Ma Chao raised his head in surprise, but happened to see Ma Teng's glaring eyes, and quickly swallowed the words behind him.
"Of course I know that Ling Ming is the best among the generals in Guanzhong. It is because of this that I want to take him away." Ma Teng waved his hand and forbidden Ma Chao who was about to talk about it again. He was still a little worried about Ma Chao.
"No!" Ma Chao had no choice but to nod.
Ma Yunlu nodded. His father's move was also a helpless move. He wanted to tell Cao Gong to be sincere, and to cut off his brother's strongest wings and let him stay calm. It may be a good thing.
After waiting for a few days, His Majesty's imperial edict was delivered by fast horses, and Ma Teng was appointed as the guard lieutenant, Ma Xiu was appointed as the commander of the chariot, and Ma Tie was appointed as the commander of the cavalry. He immediately entered the capital, and appointed Ma Chao as the general, commanding Ma Teng's entire men.
In order to prevent the long nights of dreams, Zhang sent someone to inform Zhong Yao to welcome him before the imperial edict arrived. The counties along the way were ready for reception. As soon as the imperial edict arrived, he urged Ma Teng, who was still hesitating, to go on the road. In May of the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Chong brought Ma Teng and others back to Xu County, and after paying homage to the emperor, he left the guard Ma Teng to stay in Xu County. He himself took Yan Xing, Pang De and others to Yecheng.
Cao Pi and a group of officials stood by the long pavilion outside Yecheng, looking at the convoy coming from afar, with a happy smile on his face. Before Cao Chong got off the car, he went up and carried Cao Chong down from the car, threw it in a circle, and raised it high and said:
"Cang Shu, you have made great contributions this time. My father asked me to welcome you. The mansion has already set up a celebration banquet and is waiting for you, a great conscience."
Cao Chong was really uncomfortable with his intimate posture and begged for mercy. Cao Pi put him down and leaned in his ear and said, "You kid is so powerful. You are already a cavalry captain of two thousand stones. When you come back in Jingzhou, wouldn't you be the third duke and nine ministers? Don't ignore me because of my brother."
Cao Chong laughed a few times, and leaned into Cao Pi's ear and said mysteriously: "What's the matter with you brother? When I go to Jingzhou, my father must have asked his brother to guard Yecheng. I'm afraid that after Jingzhou this time, the position of prime minister will be the elder brother."
The two brothers punched each other and looked at each other and laughed. Cao Chong pulled Cao Pi to Pang De and others and smiled and said, "Come on, brother, I will introduce you to you. These are the two most famous generals in Xiliang, Guanzhong. Pang De Pang Lingming, Yan Xing and Yan Yanming are all masters of cavalry. This is the beloved son of General Ma, Ma Xiu Ma Zhongmei, Ma Tiema Shujian, and is also a young hero with high martial arts skills."
When Pang De and others saw Cao Chong enthusiastically introducing them to Cao Pi, they all saluted with gratitude: "I will pay homage to Mr. Cao."
Cao Pi looked at them with fun, turned around and smiled at Cao Chong, "Cang Shu, you are still capable. My father invited General Meng Qi to the court many times, but he failed to get what he wanted. You invited all their family. This time my father would like to reward you again. Last time you asked ten carving workers and several squares of pear wood, and made Zijian's little nerd so tired that he made a printing technique. What are you going to do this time and what big things do you do?"
Cao Chong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is Zijian made it?"
"Of course I made it. My father was very satisfied. He was trying to get the time to engrave those fonts and prepare to carve the collection of poems from Shangsi first."
Cao Chong excitedly pulled Cao Shan standing behind Pang De and said, "Zixiang, I said that as soon as the book came out, I would give you a set of books. I didn't expect it to be so soon, and you will be able to get your wish."
"Thank you, young master." Cao Shan hurriedly bowed and thanked.
"Is this?" Cao Pi looked at this big man who looked strangely different from the Han people.
"He is from Qiang, I gave him a name, Cao Shan, Cao Zixiang, and now he is Pang Zhonglang's personal guard." Cao Chong said with a smile: "I promised to send him a set after the book comes out."
"Hahaha..." Cao Pi laughed to the sky and pointed at Cao Chong and couldn't go away: "Zi Jian is so busy that he is so busy that he is not out yet. He has made a favor first. Zi Jian knows it, but he is afraid he will be angry."
"No, Zijian will not be so idle as long as he has books to study." Cao Chong pinched his nose and smiled: "I'm hungry, generals are hungry, brother, let's go to the city. Could it be that we should stand here and go hungry to reminisce about the past? I'm afraid that these warriors from afar will say that our Yecheng is not well-received."
Cao Pi suddenly realized, slapped his head and smiled, "See I was happy to see Cang Shu, and I forgot about it. Don't blame me, don't blame me."
Pang De and Yan Xing smiled at each other and quickly bowed, "The two young men have deep brotherhood, we are so envious. What's the harm in waiting for a moment?"
"Thank you all your wishes, enter the city quickly. My father is waiting for you." Cao Pi enthusiastically pulled Pang De and Yan Xing, got on his cart together, and turned around and squeezed his eyes at Cao Chong and said, "Cang Shu, you have asked you too much along the way, so give me this opportunity for a while."
Cao Chong laughed to the sky: "Brother is as good as Ziwen, when will he be as good as martial arts? I'm afraid you are not their two opponents. You have to suffer some trouble to know that there is heaven beyond heaven and there are people beyond us. Don't blame my brother for not saying anything."
Everyone laughed loudly, and the laughter was so shocked that a few curious birds were spreading their wings and disappeared into the south sky in a blink of an eye.
Cao Chong's eyes followed the birds to the south, and he laughed secretly: "Is the Battle of Red Cliff coming? Let the battle come more fiercely."
