Tonight, almost all the tribal leaders are drunk, but I can tell that some of them are pretending to be drunk. Yang Ang wasn't too drunk. He staggered to my side and held the case in front of me to stabilize his body.
"Little brother, your sword dance is good, and your poem is also heroic. To have such talent at such a young age, I, your big brother, am impressed. I didn't expect General Ma to have such a talented nephew. Little brother, are you the son of General Zhao Yun, who is under Imperial Uncle Liu?”
"General Yang, my father is Zhao Yun.”
"No wonder, General Zhao is both civil and military.”
"General, you flatter me."
Yang Ang shook his head again, looked at me meaningfully and burped.
"I'm drunk. Let's talk another day."
He also staggered out of the tent. His bodyguards helped him onto the horse and soon disappeared into the distance.
Zhang Bao, who was next to me, was also drunk. She was very drunk. There were already 4 or 5 wine jars beside her. However, he was still mumbling that he was not drunk and wanted Guan Xing to drink with him. Seeing her like this, her mother ordered Zhao Long and Zhao Hu to carry her back to the tent they had arranged for her to rest. Ma Chao's uncle was not drunk. He had not seen his mother for more than ten years and wanted to talk. Mother also knew what Uncle meant, so she turned to us and said,
"You guys are tired. Go back and rest. Xing 'er and Ping Wang will take care of Bao' er. Drunken people tend to get thirsty. Prepare some water for him. If Tong 'er isn't tired, then accompany your mother to uncle's tent to chat with him.”
Wang Ping and Guan Xing knew that my mother was going to have a family chat with my uncle, so they left. I drank a stomach full of tea and was still very excited. I couldn't sleep when I went back anyway, so I accompanied Uncle to his place.
The place where Uncle lived was not big. There was only a simple sleeping thing inside. On one side of the tent was a map of the confrontation with Cao Cao's army. On the other side was Uncle's armor and weapons. There was a box in the corner, probably used to store clothes. There were some books piled up on the table in the tent. There was only one candle on the table, and it would occasionally emit sparks.
"Little sister, big brother is used to being simple. You and Tong 'er can sit anywhere. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You were still a young girl in the past, but your child is now so big. Let's talk about your situation in the past few years.”
Mother began to tell Uncle about how she met her father and went on a blind date back then. Then, she got married and had children. She looked like a happy little woman. When she talked about the changes in me in the past two years, she was even more surprised and proud. His uncle also told him about his family and his situation after his mother wandered the Jianghu alone. Only then did I know a lot of things about Uncle Jin Ma Chao.
His uncle was the descendant of General Ma Yuan of the Han Dynasty. He had been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations and protected the safety of the Xiliang section of the Silk Road. His grandfather, Ma Teng, had been delayed by the food supply problem when the 18th vassal attacked Dong Zhuo, so he had not been able to make it to that great battle. Later, he and his sworn brother Han Sui participated in the killing of Li Cui and other Dong Zhuo's remnants, but they were defeated. However, he was still in the bitter and cold land of Western Liang, and his heart was still with the imperial court. When Zhong Yao, a lieutenant of Si Li, was guarding Guanzhong, Guo Yuan and Gao Gan caused trouble around Taiyuan County. When Zhong Yao sent people to ask for help to send troops to quell the chaos, his grandfather persuaded Han Sui to send his 17-year-old uncle Ma Chao to Pingyang with Zhong Yao to fight against Guo Yuan and Gao Gan and defeat them. Pang De, who had followed his uncle since childhood, killed Guo Yuan himself. His uncle, Ma Chao, had been shot by an arrow in battle. He remembered his grandfather's teachings of loyalty to the country. In order not to delay the war, he reluctantly wrapped his injured foot with a cloth bag and continued to fight. He killed dozens of enemy generals and became famous in the three armies. Later, his uncle returned to Western Liang to continue guarding the northwest border of the Great Han Dynasty. Later on, Cao Cao threatened the emperor to order the vassals. His grandfather wanted to eat Cao Cao's flesh and blood. When Emperor Xian's jade belt edict reached Xiliang, he did not hesitate to join the anti-Cao alliance. Unfortunately, things did not go well and Cao Cao found out and destroyed the spies in the court. In the 13th year of Jian 'an (Year 208), Cao Cao wanted to transfer his grandfather back to the capital in the name of the imperial court in order to control Xiliang and appoint him as the Grand Marshal. His grandfather knew that it was a trap, but considering that there was no reliable anti-Cao minister around Emperor Xian, he took the risk to enter Xuchang and became the nominal marshal, hoping that Emperor Xian would regain power one day. In order to prevent Cao Cao from catching them all, his grandfather left his uncle Ma Chao, second uncle Ma Dai, and uncle Pang De to continue leading the troops of Xiliang. The rest of his family moved into Xuchang. He also made an agreement with his uncle. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety were difficult to achieve at the same time. As long as there was a chance to destroy Cao Cao and help the Great Han Dynasty, he did not have to worry about the safety of the Xuchang family and attacked boldly. Even if his entire family was killed, his grandfather would still smile in the afterlife. After Cao Cao was defeated at Red Cliff, his grandfather thought that this was a good opportunity and sent a letter to his uncle, asking him to take the opportunity to attack Cao Cao. In the end, after his uncle endured the pain and raised his army, although he had defeated Cao Cao many times and forced Cao Cao to cut off his beard and abandon his robe, if not for Cao Hong and Xu Chu desperately saving him, his uncle would have captured Cao Cao alive. This made Cao Cao sigh and say,"If the horse doesn't die, I won't have a burial ground.”Unfortunately, Han Sui did not listen to his uncle's advice and fell into Cao Cao's plan to divide his forces. His retreat was cut off by Xu Huang and Zhu Ling. Then, Han Sui fell into Cao Cao's plan to sow discord and wanted to kill his uncle and surrender to Cao Cao. His uncle had no choice but to kill Han Sui and lead Uncle Ma Dai and Uncle Pang De to break out of the siege. When they returned to Xiliang, there were only about twenty soldiers left. His uncle was in so much pain that he vomited blood and fell ill. It took him a long time to recover.
Later, in order to take revenge, Cao Cao issued an edict in the name of the Han court to kill his grandfather, Ma Teng, and wipe out the three tribes. Only his uncle Ma Chao and Ma Dai survived. Because of the hatred between his family and his country, his uncle gathered all the tribes in Xiliang to attack the officials appointed by Cao Cao in Longxi. Now, in the whole of Xiliang, only Wei Kang, the governor of Liangzhou, led more than 5000 people to defend Jicheng and not surrender. After the chaos caused by Dong Zhuo and the previous military riots, the number of strong men who could mount horses and join the army was not as good as before. Some tribes had no choice but to come because of his uncle's reputation. On the surface, they vowed to fight to the death with the Cao army, but in fact, they were secretly colluding with the Cao army. On the surface, his uncle had more than 10,000 soldiers under him, but other than the 4000 Ma Family Army soldiers, those soldiers only listened to the orders of the tribal leader. They did not put in any effort to attack his uncle, pretending to be injured and sick. When they were not fighting, they were not sick or injured. They often secretly went out to burn, kill, and rape, causing the local people to complain bitterly and gnash their teeth in hatred. This made the whole of Jicheng unite and swear to defend the city, causing Jicheng to be unable to be taken down even after several months of fighting. The soldiers we met when we first arrived were from those tribes. It was retribution for us to kill them. His uncle felt that he was short of troops, so he had no choice but to ask Zhang Lu, who was also threatened by Cao Cao's army, to send troops to help. For his own safety, Zhang Lu sent General Yang Ang with 5000 soldiers to help. However, the soldiers he sent were not elite soldiers. They could help cheer him on, but it was impossible to expect them to attack Jicheng with all their strength.
So that was what happened. No wonder uncle had that expression after seeing the medicine I sent over and said those words. His uncle was also exhausted. The only generals he trusted were Uncle Ma Dai and Uncle Pang De. He did not have any advisors, so no one could help his uncle plan. Even for tonight's drinking party, Uncle Ma Dai could only go out to search for the camp first, and Uncle Pang De would go to change shifts in the second half of the night. If this continued, when would his grandfather's dying wish to destroy Cao be realized? Now that his mother was here and his uncle had drunk some wine, he finally spoke a little.
"Big brother, don't be sad, don't be sad. It's not just our Ma Family of Xiliang who wants to destroy Cao Cao. My husband's lord, Imperial Uncle Liu, is also at loggerheads with Cao Cao. These medicines are given to you by my good friend, Mr. Zhuge, on behalf of Uncle Liu.”
"Little sister, these medicines alone can't solve the problem.”
"Brother, did Mr. Zhuge send someone to you?”
"Little sister, didn't you come with a few kids and that Wang Ping? Who is there?"
"Uncle, the people sent by Mr. Zhuge are far away but right in front of us.”
"You? Tong 'er, stop joking. I know you are good at martial arts and have literary talent, but how old are you?”
"Uncle, age doesn't matter."
"Brother, just trust your nephew. He is our family's treasure and a genius of the public security department. You don't know, do you? His martial arts were taught by me and my husband, the art of war was taught by Mr. Zhuge, and two divine doctors taught him medicine. Did you know? The medicines sent to the Save the World Hall were all made by him, and the swords sent to you were also produced by his steelworks. He was the behind-the-scenes master of the Save the World Hall and the steelworks.”
Uncle stared at me with his eyes wide open, looking extremely shocked.
"Tong 'er, Uncle Pang De has already told me about your martial arts. But can you lead troops to war?"
"Uncle, although I haven't commanded a large army, that's because I haven't had the chance. I've trained and commanded the four guards in Public Security City. I often battle with my master, and he taught me many things. Brother Zhang Bao and Brother Guan Xing are also brave enough to fight against thousands of enemies. Gold will always shine. If brothers work together, they can cut through gold. I believe that we will definitely be able to help uncle break through Ji City.”
"Haha, the courage of a thousand men! You're so honest. Since you're so confident, I'll trust you this once. Tomorrow, I'll let your second uncle bring you around the military camp to understand the situation first.”
"Uncle, who is the one who disobeys military orders?”
"Tong 'er, you should have noticed it at the banquet, right? There were a few people at the banquet today who pretended to deal with me. They thought that I didn't see through them. The fat one with a scar on his face was Cheligu from the largest tribe in Western Liang. The young one in black robe was Ya Dan, and the one in leather armor was Yue Ji. It was mainly the three of them. The three tribes were neighbors, and the three tribes intermarried with each other, so they had a good relationship.”
Cherigu, Yadam, Yuegi? Weren't these three the king, prime minister, and marshal of Xi Liang? I have an impression of them. In the original history, Yue Ji had defeated Guan Xing. As the king, Celigu had always been in close contact with the Cao army, especially Cao Zhen. He had even helped Cao Zhen attack Shu Han. So they were already in contact with the Cao army! Now that I know, hmph hmph, I'm afraid he won't be able to be king in the future.
"Uncle, then I'll go around with second uncle tomorrow. You should rest well tonight.”
