Chapter 138 [Famous but also have a background]
(Thank you, the wave of fluctuations, 140326224229729, and several friends who are supporting the monthly ticket.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The crowds were surging and crowded, and tens of thousands of people greeted each other. They burned incense and prayed, hugged and thanked, shouted their horns, or ran around to offer food. If Mi Fang had not led his troops to open the way in front and blocked the left and right, the short few hundred steps from the East Gate to the Zhoumu Mansion would have been that they would not have been able to reach until dusk.
The people of Xuzhou are so popular, their popularity is so high, and their fan value is so high, which Ma Han never expected in advance. He only did one thing for this siege of Xuzhou - shooting Cao Ren with an arrow. But now, he is enthusiastically welcomed like a savior hero. Well, he is really ashamed.
Zhao Yun beside him was also very impressed. This is what a hero should do! It seems that the decision to turn to White Wolf City at the beginning seemed to be not bad.
When have the hundreds of white wolf cavalry accompanying seen such a scene? They were so excited that their faces were red, their chests were squinted, and they were proud of them.
The commander of the Xuzhou Infantry Army Captain Mi Fang, in the cold weather, he kept wiping his sweat. His two horoscopes were wet, and he was steamed by the hot steam in the sauna.
The left and right guests looked at the countless waving arms on the left and right, pressed their heads that were shocked, and shouted loudly: "Second Young Master, this person has such a high reputation. Fortunately, he is not the Xuzhou guest army..."
Mi Fang's lips were slapped in a line, and she snorted coldly in her heart: "What's the use of the support of Guizhou? Can these people give him money, food, soldiers, and armor? Since she likes fame so much, she should go back to western Liaoning with her reputation."
When Ma Han and his party came to the square of the Zhoumu Mansion under the leadership of Mi Fang, there were already crowds of people and cars and horses. However, unlike before, the people, cars and horses here were all heroes and their followers who rushed to Xuzhou to help.
Before Ma Han could come back from the disturbing heat, there were three people in the shape of a font, one, two, and two, and a few steps away from him. The leader arched his hands high, and he was happy in his heart: "Shocking Dragon! Zilong! I didn't expect that after a year, I could meet here, which is really a joy!"
Well, Liu Bei looked happy and really came out of sincerity. Both Ma Han and Zhao Yun were all heroes he admired very much, and even wanted to be kept under the tent. Until now, he was still reluctant to give up Zhao Yun, thinking that this was an opportunity. If possible, it would be best to pull it over.
Of course, behind Liu Bei was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. These two people and Zhao Yun were both aware of each other and were very happy to meet again.
Ma Han had seen Guan, and the battle between Zhang and Yan Liang and Wen Chou was impressed by these two top men in the Three Kingdoms. However, Guan and Zhang had never seen Ma Han. Although he knew that he was very young, he was surprised to see a little contempt in his heart when he saw a boy with no hair on his lips.
When Ma Han greeted Guan and Zhang, he also keenly felt this contempt. Before he could figure out how to eliminate this contempt, Liu Bei intimately held him and Zhao Yun and introduced it to Quying. At this time, Ma Han realized a deeper contempt in comparison with Guan and Zhang.
Tian Kai is Gongsun Zan's confidant general, loyal and loyal. He is extremely dissatisfied with Ma Han who escaped in the Battle of Jieqiao. He is not a cunning counselor like Guan Jing, nor is he a prince like Gongsun Xu. His dissatisfaction with the rebels is written directly on his face.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan, although they were once named "Taishan Bandits", they were both minor officials and local tyrants. Although they were also scumbags in the eyes of famous scholars, they believed that they were a bit better than Ma Han, a mountain man. In addition, they were treated with hot and cold at the north gate just now, which made them even more unhappy, and they would not have a good face.
When Tao Qian led the crowd out, this feeling became even stronger.
As soon as Tao Qian came up, he said a little bit of a word and asked intentionally or unintentionally whether Ma Han was related to the Fufeng Ma family or the Handan Ma family. The Handan Ma family is the origin of the Ma family, while the Fufeng Ma family is a branch of the Handan Ma family. At this time, it has become the most prosperous family of the Ma family in the Han Dynasty. The "hometown" of Ma Han is only a few hundred miles away from Handan, which makes people easily associate it in this regard.
Ma Han really wanted to impersonate the Ma family in Handan, but the problem is that the aristocratic families of this era have genealogies, and not any guy with the same surname can impersonate them. But he didn't want to directly admit that he was born in the countryside. In the Han and Three Kingdoms eras, which paid great attention to their origins, this was tantamount to breaking off his own career. Therefore, he was vague and said that his ancestral home was indeed in Handan, but his father never clearly stated whether it was from the Ma family's prominent family.
Ma Han played the edge ball, ambiguous and elastic, and could pick up the leftovers and fill in at any time. As for how much he can pick up and how much he can make up for it, it depends on how high he can reach in the future and how much strength he can accumulate. With his current strength, the Ma family of Handan may not pay attention to him, but one day in the future, he will reach a high position that ordinary people cannot reach, and naturally there will be a hot clan face that you can't even kick.
But who is Tao Qian? How could the contemporary famous scholar Ma Han's plausible answer satisfy him? Therefore, every time he heard Ma Han's answer, his eyes became colder, and at the end, his expression became faint. He just expressed his gratitude to Ma Han with a polite attitude, and then signaled his second son Tao Ying to respond, and turned to Liu Bei.
Most of the other officials also expressed their gratitude in routine work, and then they rushed to talk to Liu Bei. Ma Han's reputation was good among the common people, but in the eyes of scholars, he was not as good as a good family.
In fact, in terms of reputation, Lu Bu, who killed Dong Zhuo, the public enemy of the Han Dynasty, has a reputation as much as Ma Han, and his background is similar to Ma Han. Look at how well this person is doing now, and there is no one counselor around him.
At this time, a young scholar in his twenties did not surround Liu Bei, but took the initiative to come forward to talk to Ma Han, asking in detail about Ma Han's case when he captured Zhang Kai and saved Sui Ling.
Seeing that this man was a strange person, he was of similar age, he didn't think he was offended, and he did not hide anything and told him one by one.
After hearing the original version of the incident, the young man couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that the so-called beauty saves heroes, but heroes save beauty, interesting! Interesting!"
Ma Han laughed and said, "Brother, if you said you wanted to listen to this part earlier, I will pick it out directly and add fuel to the fire to interpret it for you, so that you can enjoy it."
The young man smiled, his eyes widened, and he laughed again: "Interesting! Interesting! You are indeed interesting."
Ma Han said lightly: "If you ask Cao Ren, he would never think so."
The young man's smile gradually faded, his face turned solemn, he rolled his sleeves, and bowed to the ground: "Chen Deng, whose courtesy name is Yuanlong, survived the troubled people of Xia Pi, thanked Ma Duwei. The righteous act of Tianju in Liaodong, and the reputation of thousands of families with Buddhas will be spread throughout the world."
Chen Deng? It turns out that he is Chen Deng!
Chen Deng's generous words, especially the solemn gift, shocked the Xuzhou officials who were talking loudly. You must know that Chen Deng has always been arrogant and never allowed anyone. In the whole of Xuzhou, there are only a few people who can get his courtesy. Even Mi Zhu and Cao Bao, these two powerful figures in military and political aspects, are rarely seen.
Chen Deng’s gift really hit everyone in the face.
With Liu Bei, a Martin who met the "knowing the bottom" person on the first day of the arrival of the Three Kingdoms, the Martin's background could not be hidden. Previously, the civil and military officials in Xuzhou were extremely disdainful of a poor family and You Yong in the army, and even regarded him as less than Wu Dun (Sima, the Sima of Langya, Xuzhou, and Taishan Kou). This is also the reason why Wu Dun was unwilling to come to Yancheng.
In my imagination, this is a vulgar and scoundrel who looks like a scoundrel. He is wandering in a vulgar place in western Liaoning. Only Gongsun Du, who was a minor official and hangs with the public, would accept such people.
When the people in the city were welcomed together, Tao Qian, who was the master and benefited the most, had to greet him personally even if he was reluctant. However, many of his subordinates were unwilling to go out to welcome these people. After all, Tao Qian adopted Mi Zhu's proposal and met with all the heroes who helped Xuzhou. In this way, Ma Han was weakened into one of them and became obscured by the public.
If Ma Han had the identity of Liu Bei (although Liu Bei's identity was not high-end), he would definitely be exaggerated by the upper class of Xuzhou and praised as the savior. But he was just a commoner in troubled times, so he had a moment of luck in capturing Zhang Kai. As for saving Sui Ling... By the way, does this have anything to do with Cao's retreat? It doesn't matter, so who should pay attention to this?
It was a crowd of people who greeted each other before, but in a blink of an eye, it was so cold that it was so depressed. Ma Han had never encountered such a situation before. Among the local forces he had dealt with in the past, Yuan Shao also liked his background, but because he had suffered from Ma Han's great losses, he naturally looked up to him. Kong Pi also valued his background, but when he was in danger, he had to help him. In addition to being grateful, it was difficult to show off his bad face. As for Gongsun Du, let alone, his own identity is not much stronger than Ma Han. He is most afraid and hates others' discrimination the most, so he naturally would not turn his eyes on Ma Han because of this. As for Cao Cao, he is even more a person who is talented, so how could he care about this?
Today, when we came to this beautiful place in Zhongyuan and saw the famous provincial governors and subordinates, Ma Han finally learned what the Three Kingdoms are most important in origin.
The biggest hero in Xuzhou was subjected to such cold treatment, and all the white wolf cavalry were angry. If this was in Mobei or Liao, any tribe would turn against each other and gather troops to fight against it. Unfortunately, this is the Central Plains, and using fists alone cannot solve the problem.
Ma Han didn't say anything, and all the White Wolf Strong Cavalry could only suppress their anger and remain silent.
Ma Han watched coldly, looking at Tao Qian and Liu Bei surrounded by stars like stars, but they were not very angry. Instead, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth - it was a sarcastic smile. Because he knew too well the fate of these two people who seemed to be incredibly glorious. One disappeared soon, and the other would disappear soon. Neither of them was the future master of Xuzhou.
The future leader of Xuzhou will change like a lantern. If it follows the original trajectory of history, it will eventually fall into Cao Cao's hands. But now there is more variable of Ma Han, who dares to say it, and who will laugh to the end?
A big hand pressed Ma Han's shoulder, and a thick voice came into his ears: "Jinglong, the hero does not ask where he comes from, so there is no need to worry too much."
Ma Han smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Zilong, I know what I know. No matter what, my starting point is better than Emperor Gaozu."
