Chapter 11 Caught a Big Fish
In ancient times, the three platforms and five constants of monarchs, ministers, fathers, fathers, sons and sons were emphasized, although the Han Dynasty was not as rampant as Zhu Lixue. However, Confucian culture has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And one of the virtues of 'filial piety' has long become an important aspect of examining a person's virtue. No matter how loyal and impatient Meng Da is, he shouldn't shout in front of thousands that he doesn't want his father's life, right?
He's not an idiot, on the contrary, he's smart. But it was so smart that Ma Chao caught a hint of a different meaning: unless, at this moment, there is something more important than Meng Da's father's life to protect!
Ma Chao's eyes were stunned, and he tried to widen his eyes wider, looking straight at Meng Da on the field, without blinking. And Meng Da also seemed to see Ma Chao's doubts, but after all, he was weak in his heart, and he couldn't help but glance at the group of hostages.
There's a door!
Among this hostage, there must be a big fish that is more important than Meng Da, but it is still the kind that Meng Da has to defend with all his might!
"What are you doing in a daze, Pound, help the ugly brother take down that boy!" Ma Chao's eyes were like lightning, and he shouted loudly. I intuitively felt that I was possessed by the dragon map, and I saw through the sky at a glance.
And he himself had already arrived in the group of hostages on horseback.
Ma Chao first saw Meng Ta in the official uniform of the county guard, presumably this middle-aged man was very attached to the power in his hands, and after hearing the riot outside the house, he did not wear underwear first, but came out in an official uniform. happened to be unlucky, and he came up and was caught by the torture cavalry camp. And the rest of the people are nothing more than the subordinates and guards of the county guard's mansion, and they really can't see anything special.
But Ma Chao is not in a hurry, the current situation is very favorable to him, and there is time for him to select slowly.
The people who were touched by Ma Chao's gaze lowered their heads one after another, even Meng He didn't say a word, it seemed that they were worried about their future and life. However, Ma Chao turned around and found that the old man dressed as a housekeeper and a little girl with pink carvings had different expressions: the old housekeeper seemed to be well disguised, but he had an elegant and generous temperament, but he did not have the shrewdness of a housekeeper who was good at calculation, and he also took advantage of Ma Chao's inattention to take a few careful glances at Ma Chao; And the little girl seemed to be the granddaughter of the old butler, and although she looked frightened, her demeanor and demeanor were elegant, and she did not look like a subordinate of a county guard.
Ma Chao knew what to expect, bowed slightly, hugged his fists and said: "Old man, since the identity is seen by the kid, why hide it anymore and increase the laughter?" ”
However, it was Ma Chao's words that immediately made Meng Ta's expression change greatly. And Meng Ta on the field, because of Ma Chao's words, was immediately seen by Pang De and the ugly brother to see a flaw, and worked together to attack left and right, and captured Meng Da.
In fact, since Pound came on the field, Meng Da has no power to fight back. Ma Chao's deception just made Meng Da's defeat and retreat be captured a little earlier: Hmph, if Ma Chao didn't know that Meng Da was a talent, he would have been captured alive, and I am afraid that the ugly brother would have killed him a few times.
However, it was Meng Ta and Meng Da's reactions that made Ma Chao understand: he was right! However, what kind of identity did these two people have, so that Meng Da wanted to keep these two people safe regardless of his father?
"The old man's surname is Cai Mingyong, the word Bo Yong, and he is an entourage officer of the imperial court. This is the little girl Cai Yan, who traveled with her husband to give lectures in Fufeng. The old man saw that Ma Chao had already recognized his identity, so he no longer concealed it, and replied proudly.
"Cai Yong? Cai Bojiao? Ma Chao screamed, and he didn't know whether he was surprised or delighted for a while.
Cai Yong is a famous man in the world, erudite and talented, unique Shilin, his talent is very good at this time, good at music, good rhetoric, and at this time he is also responsible for the continuation of the "Book of Han". And Cai Yong is not only talented, but also has a highly talented daughter Cai Yan, who is the little girl in front of her. Cai Wenji's works include "Poems of Grief and Indignation" and "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji", which are highly evaluated by later generations.
At this time, it was March of the first year of Chuping, that is, the second month of Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang and moving the capital to Chang'an. Cai Yong served as an entourage officer, and it was at this time in history.
Putting aside Dong Zhuo's character, as a leader, Dong Zhuo, a fat man, is still very good at making good use of his talents. At the beginning, Cai Yong, the speaker of the council, was exiled to Shuofang for speaking out about his letter to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and later returned to the village after being pardoned. Wang Zhi, a local official, originally had a personal grudge with Cai Yong, so he impeached Cai Yong for slandering the government, and Cai Yong was forced to run away from home and wander the rivers and lakes for 12 years. Dong Zhuo had already heard of Cai Yong's fame and talent, and in order to win the hearts of people all over the world, he specially recruited Cai Yong to Beijing as an official, but Cai Yong didn't want to get involved in politics anymore, so he politely refused to be sick. Dong Zhuo threatened Cai Yong: "If you don't obey orders, you will be punished by the whole clan." Cai Yong was frightened and had to return to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and immediately appointed him as a sacrificial wine, respecting Cai Yong very much, and later continued to promote his official position.
According to the history books, Cai Yong went through the "three stations" within three days, and the official went to the palace attendant. And because of Cai Yong's recommendation, Dong Zhuo also promoted many party members, and for a time, Luoyang's stagnant people were more prominent.
At this time, Cai Yong traveled here to give lectures, I am afraid that part of it is an excuse, and the other part of the reason should be to visit the talent for Dong Zhuo's use, right?
originally wanted to only take Fufeng County as a base, but by mistake, he caught Cai Yong, a big fish, which made Ma Chao quite a headache.
Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, with a high prestige in Shilin, and he is extremely favored by Dong Zhuo. At present, he is just a little loach who can't get on the table, and when he gets involved with these upside downs, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
No wonder Meng Da, a smart child, would rather give up his father than Cai Yong fall into the hands of Ma Chao. However, he didn't know that Ma Chao at this time really hoped that he didn't pretend to be smart enough to discover Cai Yong......
Fortunately, at present, Cai Yong is still kind and polite, and Ma Chao did not dare to treat him as a prisoner, and immediately said: "Cai, don't panic, I'm just waiting, it's just ......" scratched his head, Ma Chao didn't know how to continue, he couldn't tell the serious court officials that he was here to seize the court territory and was ready to go alone, right?
"The old man looked at the general as brave and commanded properly, and he thought that the general could easily open the city gate and set fire to attract the soldiers in the county, so it can be seen that the young general can be regarded as brave and strategic, but I don't know where the general's family is?" Cai Yong saw Ma Chao's words at this time, and he also knew that he had no worries about his life. As soon as his mentality was relaxed, he became even more interested in Ma Chao's identity.
"I am Ma Chao of Fufeng Maoling County, and my ancestor is Ma Yuan, the general of Han Fubo. Today's matter is really to seek a place and return to the court......" Ma Chao scratched his head and replied with some shame: First, Ma Chao really didn't know if he had anything to do with General Fubo at this time, and secondly, even if there was a relationship, the ancestor was a famous general of the Han Dynasty, but the descendants became thieves who robbed the court, which was too embarrassing for the ancestors.
"It turned out to be the Xiliang Ma family, no wonder the general is very brave and resourceful!" Cai Yong was very stunned, but he still praised Ma Chao from the bottom of his heart. However, the next words made Ma Chao scratch his head a little:
"The Ma family is a famous family in the world, and its ancestors are heroic and majestic, but they don't want future generations to do such a robbery and rebellion!"
Cai Yong's voice was full of emotion, thinking that he really felt aggrieved for the old man Ma Yuan, and I am afraid that he was also angry and ashamed of Ma Chao's actions tonight!
With a sound of 'Cang', Ma Chao's face was as cold as ice, and he pulled out the sword at his waist!
"Young master, you can't!" In the distance, Pound shouted.
"How dare a thief!" The captured Meng Dayu shouted to himself.
"General, no!" Nearby, Meng Ta fell to the ground and begged for mercy.
But Cai Yong looked like he was at home, and he was not frightened by Ma Chao's cold and shining sword at all. Only the little girl Cai Yan gently tugged the corner of Cai Yong's clothes and said softly, "A gentleman judges the situation and does not stand under the dangerous wall".
When Ma Chao heard this, he felt that Cai Yan was too talented, but thinking of the misunderstanding he had caused, he hurriedly took his sword and sneered: "I just want to cut the rope for everyone Cai, what are you all excited ......about?"
'I'm down! Pound, Meng Da, and Meng Ta were thundered in their hearts at the same time.
