444 West Wind Spirit(11)
"Suo Taishou, not far away, traveled a long way to Dunhuang along the way, just to see Suo Taishou. But who would have thought that it is better to be famous than to meet, it turns out that Suo Taishou is also a person who sells fame and reputation, and he is also a person who betrays the country and seeks glory! Ma Chao couldn't hold it anymore, immediately stood up, and said what he said in his heart.
Suo Guang noticed Ma Chao from the beginning, but he had never spoken to Ma Chao, and at this time, Ma Chao suddenly said these words, which made his eyes fixed on Ma Chao again. The person standing in front of him was a graceful, handsome and dashing man, and under the sword eyebrows, there were a pair of sharp and deep black eyes, which made it impossible to see through at a glance.
Obedient and listening, Suo Guang felt that the origin of this person did not seem to be very simple, and he was well-informed, what kind of person had not been seen, he could see that the person standing in front of him should not be as simple as Yang Fu's entourage.
So, Suo Guang asked, "Mr. Yishan, is this strong man ......?"
Yang Fu didn't intend to hide it, and immediately said: "Don't hide it, this is Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, who are known as the Qiang people as the general of Shenweitian, and now he is my lord!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Suo Guang's eyes immediately revealed a strange light, although he has lived in Dunhuang for a long time, but Ma Chao's name has been famous in Liangzhou, and he has already been famous, even in the most remote places, as long as it is the place where the Qiang people have been, Ma Chao's heroic legend has been spread there.
"It turned out to be General Ma! Suo is disrespectful and disrespectful! Suo Guang hurriedly hugged his fist towards Ma Chao respectfully.
Martial artists are rarely able to gain the respect of the literati, unless the warrior has done something earth-shattering and admirable to the literati. It is just that Ma Chao is such a martial artist. He single-handedly broke into the army of tens of thousands of Qiang people. Relying on personal bravery. Assassinated the king of Qiang in one fell swoop, and returned unharmed with the head of the king of Qiang. This kind of feat is not something that anyone can do.
Ma Chao saw that Suo Guang changed his attitude towards himself in a blink of an eye, so he continued: "Suo Taishou, I came thousands of miles with Mr. Yishan just to be able to meet you, and when I went to Guangzhi County, I met Gai Shun. I heard him say that this place has been occupied by the Xianbei people, and Suo Taishou has also surrendered to the Xianbei people, and is willing to be the minions of the Xianbei people. Mr. Yishan and I didn't believe it very much, so we came to Dunhuang for verification. But who thinks that Suo Taishou is really disappointing to me, Dunhuang Suo has always been the leader of the Liangzhou Shi clan, but now it has fallen to the point of betraying the country to seek glory, does Suo Taishou really not care about the reputation of his ancestors? ”
"I still say that sentence, I do everything I do, I have a clear conscience." Suo Guang said with a gloomy face.
Ma Chao said: "Suo Taishou, I know that you are doing this qiē to protect the people in Dunhuang City. But after all, this is the place of our Han people, and the Xianbei people are showing off their power here. And you wag your tail and beg for mercy on the Xianbei people, and let the Xianbei people take countless money from here, is this the result you want? ”
Suo Guangdao: "General Ma, please put yourself in your shoes, if I don't do this, I and tens of thousands of people in the city have already died under the iron hooves of the Xianbei people, how can you see me?" But I can tell you, the reason why I do this is because of my purpose, and I am by no means as weak as you think, although the husband wants to stand up to the sky, but also to be able to bend and stretch, the former Yue King Goujian lay down for 20 years, and finally defeated the Wu State, and achieved the status of the overlord, I Suo Guang also has the ambition of Goujian, one day, I will let the Xianbei people take it from here, double it back! ”
Ma Chao sneered: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, now the Xianbei cavalry is everywhere outside Dunhuang City, and there are 3,000 to 5,000 cavalry left in this area, there is no army in Dunhuang City, what do you do to resist the Xianbei people?" Now that I, Ma Chao, have pacified the eastern part of Liangzhou, and am about to lead the army into the western part of Liangzhou, ready to completely control Liangzhou in the hands of our Han people, the reason why I came here is because of Mr. Yishan's recommendation, saying that you Suo Guang is a person with great ambitions, and is proficient in the art of war, and is the best candidate for military division. In addition, I also want to follow the example of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, lead my troops into the Western Regions, take back the control of our Han people in the Western Regions, and let those foreigners know that we Han people are not easy to mess with! ”
After listening to Ma Chao's words, Suo Guang immediately felt Ma Chao's ambition. Moreover, Ma Chao is also a famous Shenweitian general in Liangzhou, if what Ma Chao said is true, then he is willing to be driven by Ma Chao and help Ma Chao complete this grand plan.
Suo Guang said slowly: "General Ma, I admire your ambition, but I also ask General Ma not to think too much about me Suo Guang." My Suo Guang's thoughts are not the same as those of General Ma, but General Ma's ambition is far greater than my Suo Guang, I just want to expel the alien race from Liangzhou, but General Ma wants to take back even the Western Regions, which is really beyond my imagination. General Ma, Mr. Yishan, please come with me, I will take you to see something, it can be regarded as General Ma who came from thousands of miles away, please ask me to be a meeting gift for the military advisor! ”
Ma Chao and Yang Fu were confused, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in Suo Guang's gourd, but listening to Suo Guang's tone, it seemed that they had eased a lot. Ma Chaoyi is bold, Suo Guang is just a literati, what can he be afraid of. So, Ma Chao and Yang Fu walked out of the hall with Suo Guang and headed towards the back hall.
Suo Guang took Ma Chao and Yang Fu to the backyard of the mansion, and Ma Chao asked, "Suo Taishou, what are you going to take us to see?" ”
"You'll know when you go, don't worry, I won't hurt you. Besides, General Ma can take the head of the king of Qiang among the ten thousand armies as easily as finding a bag, and in this small Dunhuang city, what can General Ma do? "Suo Guangdao.
Ma Chao stopped talking, but followed Suo Guang with Yang Fu and came to a room in the backyard.
There were two family members standing at the door of the room, and when they saw Suo Guang coming, they immediately greeted him, and said respectfully: "See your lordship." ”
The two family members have strong physiques and burly bodies, giving people a sense of being tall and mighty, and their rugged appearance does not look like a family member, but like soldiers.
Suo Guang said to the two men, "Open the door!" ”
The two soldiers did as Suo Guang said, and when they opened the door, an empty room was revealed, with no furnishings.
At this time, Suo Guang stood at the door, made a gesture of please, and said to Ma Chao and Yang Fu: "Please come in!" ”
Ma Chao and Yang Fu glanced at each other, and finally chose to go in, and after entering the room with Suo Guang, they looked around, there was nothing here, it was just an empty room, but they didn't know why Suo Guang brought them here.
At this time, I saw Suo Guang walking towards a wall, stretched out his hand on the wall and pulled a small thing hanging on the wall, only to hear the sound of "Kala", the wall slowly opened, revealing a huge gap, inside is a long underground corridor, there are many steps, but I don't know where it leads.
"This is ......," Ma Chao asked curiously.
"Come in with me, and you'll see." Suo Guang pretended to be a mysterious way.
Suo Guang led the way in front, followed by Ma Chao and Yang Fu, and after they entered the corridor, the two family members outside the door closed the door, and the moving wall was restored to its original appearance.
There are many flaming torches hanging on the walls on both sides of the roadway, so there is plenty of light for them to get a good view of the place.
Ma Chao and Yang Fu followed behind Suo Guang and kept walking down the Yongdao, getting deeper and deeper, and feeling more and more shaded, until they walked for about ten meters, and only then did they reach the bottom.
Suo Guang took Ma Chao and Yang Fu to continue walking along the Yongdao, and when he turned a corner, the qiqi in front of him suddenly opened up, and the cramped space became larger.
In front of Ma Chao and Yang Fu, there was a huge underground platform, where hundreds of strong men in strong suits scuffled together, making an inspiring shout, everyone was sweating, but they were high-spirited.
There were all kinds of weapons on the edge of the platform, and occasionally there was the sound of striking iron in the distance.
Ma Chao suddenly understood a qiē, this is Suo Guang's underground school yard, and it is also an arsenal, Suo Guang makes weapons and trains soldiers here, and this qiē is only difficult for Xianbei people to know.
Suo Guang said: "General Ma, this is the school field I built secretly, and the five hundred strong men in front of you are also carefully selected by me, they train here during the day, and go home to sleep at night, unaware, for more than a year, they have gradually achieved something, and they can go to the battlefield at any time." ”
Ma Chao said: "Suo Taishou, Ma has offended a lot before, and please don't be surprised by Suo Taishou." ”
Suo Guang waved his hand and said: "The world thinks that I am a traitor to seek glory, but in fact, what I Suo Guang wants to do, the world may not understand. In fact, I have always thought about the Han in my heart, and I am training soldiers here to deal with the Xianbei people, hoping that one day I can recapture Dunhuang City from the Xianbei people and drive the Xianbei people out of Liangzhou. Originally, it would take me ten years to complete this plan, but I didn't want General Ma to come here, so as long as we carefully planned our strategy, we would be able to drive the Xianbei people away soon. ”
After hearing Suo Guang's words, Ma Chao immediately asked, "Suo Taishou, in this way, are you willing to give me advice?" (To be continued......)
