Chapter 558 Back to Longxi to host the wedding
In Jiangdong, when Sun Ce exchanged five thousand troops from Yuan Shu with the jade seal as a gift, he led Cheng Pu and others to the road to conquer Jiangdong. Yuan Shu knew that he had daydreams with his jade seal all day long, but he had ignored Sun Ce directly. Because for him, he did not expect that Sun Ce would start a new job and do it alone. In his opinion, the territory captured by Sun Ce was not his own in the end.
Later, Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao, Wang Lang, and Yan Baihu and others who occupied Wu County in Jiangdong. For Sun Ce, they were not said to be vulnerable, but they were not much different.
Because Liu Yao was beaten by Yuan Shu in recent years, and he had not yet surrendered to Taishi Ci, what else could he do to deal with Sun Ce? Naturally, he was defeated and beaten by Sun Ce. As for Wang Lang from Kuaiji and Yan Baihu from Wujun and others, his true strength is actually not as good as Liu Yao, so it would be strange if they could defeat Sun Ce.
In this way, Sun Ce finally took over Kuaiji County and learned the prefect of Kuaiji, which kicked off his battle for dominance.
-----------------------------------------------------
It was almost June in a blink of an eye, and Ma Chao also knew that it was time for him to return to Longxian, and he had to return to Longxi immediately after that, because his younger sister was going to get married to Zhao Yun. In such a big deal, it was impossible for him, the eldest brother, to go back.
In the end, Ma Chao only brought 20,000 soldiers with Wu Ban back to Long County. As for Meng Da, Lei Tong, Du Ji, Wu Yi, Huang Quan, Yan Yan and Li Hui, Ma Chao kept him in Sili. After all, it doesn’t matter if Sili’s troops are less, but there must be a military general. Ma Chao is indeed not very at ease with Wu Ban, so he naturally left Li Hui to defend Huai County in Hanoi, and he brought Wu Ban back together. As for Wu Ban, this boy, he was so happy.
After all, no one in Sili asked his lord to take him to attend the wedding, but he only asked his lord to take him back. He was really lucky. There is no need to defend the city in Sili. If there is no war, Wu Ban of course was unwilling to stay in Sili. To attend the wedding banquet, isn't it much more interesting than defending the city.
As for Yan Yan and the others, they could not go back to attend the wedding banquet, but they brought their lord back to Longxian with their gifts they had prepared long ago, and then they would bring them to Longxi together.
-----------------------------------------------------
Outside Long County, Guo Jia and Ma Chao's subordinates were all waiting outside the city for his lord to return with his troops. Although this time it was actually just his lord who came back to attend his little sister's wedding banquet. But as a subordinate, he still had to do what he should do well.
Ma Chao and Wu Ban returned to Longxian with 20,000 soldiers. At the gate of Longxian, Ma Chao's army stopped. Guo Jia stepped forward and said to him, "Jia Gong welcomes the lord to victory and triumphant!"
Ma Chao smiled, "Okay. You don't know what I'm coming back to do. Okay, go to the city!"
"promise!"
Everyone was like stars arching the moon, on both sides of Ma Chao, and followed him into Longxian Town.
Everyone returned to the provincial and ministerial palace, and today they were quite full of people, at least Ma Chao's subordinates in Longxian were all present.
Ma Chao first told everyone about the war in Sili. Then he said to them: "Now that the wedding date of Zilong and Xiaomei is approaching, I will go back to Longxi tomorrow. I will take some of the people here first, and then the rest. Just reach Longxi before the sixth day of the sixth month!"
Ma Chao didn't need to take everyone away at once, just a part of it was enough. These people were enough. So Ma Chao ordered six or seven people to go to Longxi with him tomorrow, and the others would be fine after they arrived.
-----------------------------------------------------
A day later, Ma Chao brought people back to Longxi. After meeting his family, he began to prepare for the marriage between his younger sister and Zhao Yun. Of course, in fact, Longxi has been busy for a long time, and Ma Chao is too late. Zhao Yun, Ma Yun and the others are all here at this time, and there are also many people from Yizhou. As for the rest, Yizhou still has something to do, so it can only arrive on the sixth day of the sixth month or one and a half days in advance.
When Ma Chao met Zhao Yun, he was so excited that he was in a happy event. Zhao Yun was also smiling. But thinking about it, Zhao Yun was only two years younger than him, but getting married was really late. Now his children are several years old, but Zhao Yun has just started a family and usually spends time on battles and handling affairs.
Ma Chao also had to sigh, thinking that if you Zhao Zilong had defected to Liangzhou early, wouldn't you get married long ago? Could it be so late? But it's not too late. As the saying goes, "I'm lucky enough to meet you thousands of miles away", you and your younger sister are still very destined to be together. But in the future, Zhao Zilong will be tragic. Thinking of this, Ma Chao laughed in his heart. He married the Ma family, the person who gave him the most headache. He really should have burned high incense. It's really the heaven has eyes and the heaven has eyes.
After returning to Longxi, Ma Chao kept busy. Of course, it should be said that his subordinates were busy, and he was quite leisurely. After all, when the Zhou Mu spoke, his subordinates had to do it even if they didn't want to do it, let alone what they wanted to do. Ma Chao was mainly responsible for coordinating the overall situation, commanding, and overall work.
One of the happiest people in the past few days must be Ma Chao's mother Liu, because her daughter is finally going to get married. Although she is a little reluctant to leave, this is something that must be experienced. When children grow up, they must all get married. The son gets married and has children, and the daughter wants to get married. Although the children all have to get married, it is not to say that they can't see it. What's more, now that their grandchildren are several years old, I am very happy.
-----------------------------------------------------
He kept busy talking about the sixth day of the sixth month. During this period, all those who should come arrived, and almost all of Ma Chao's subordinates arrived, including the prefects of Liangzhou and Yizhou counties. Even the eighteen sons who defended the Qiang people came. However, they did not all of them. After all, people had to be kept there to guard against the Qiang people. Cao Cao did not break his promise and sent people to Longxi to attend the wedding banquet between Zhao Yun and Ma Yun.
And he brought a gift, and the person who came here was Cao Ang who came to congratulate Ma Chao on his wedding last time.
Ma Chao greeted Cao Ang, and Cao Ang quickly greeted Ma Chao, saying that he was an uncle. Although Liangzhou Army and Yanzhou Army had a battle before, it did not affect anything. After many years of meeting, Ma Chao could see that Cao Ang was much more mature than before. Yes, many years have passed. Cao Ang was only six years younger than him, but his seniority was older than him, and he could see that Cao Cao valued this son very much, otherwise he wouldn't have let him come twice.
Cao Cao not only asked his son to congratulate him, but also brought Zhang Xianyi from Liu Xie. Liu Xie personally congratulated Zhao Yun and Ma Yun and rewarded him with a lot of things. Of course, these things were taken out by Cao Cao. As for Liu Xie's imperial edict, it was indeed true. After all, Zhao Yun is now the governor of Yizhou in the Han Dynasty, so it is normal for the emperor to congratulate him.
As for the wedding of Zhao Yun and Ma Yun, only Cao Cao sent someone to come, but others did not. This is because Ma Chao only let the world know the news the day before, so it was too late for others to come to Longxi again.
If we say that the wedding banquet between Zhao Yun and Ma Yun was still very lively. Anyway, Ma Chao could see that it was "even better than his wedding". In fact, thinking about it, his strength was not as strong as he is now, and his power was not as great as he is now. At that time, he only occupied Liangzhou, but now, there are still many Yizhou, and Sili is almost completely occupied by him.
Moreover, his subordinates have more soldiers and generals than before, and he only has a lot of people at the time. But look at the moment, both subordinates and their troops are several times that of the time. Ma Chao still knows this.
Finally, after paying homage to the world, the bride waited for the groom in the bridal chamber. As a result, no matter whether it was familiar or not, Zhao Yun was stopped and he did not allow him to leave the banquet easily. Zhao Yun did not drink much, but today he drank more than usual. In the end, Ma Chao couldn't bear it anymore and directly gave an order to ask Zhao Yun to return to the bridal chamber, and said that this was a military order, and it would be seen who dared to disobey it.
Everyone was silent. If they violated the military order, they would have to engage in military law, so they were all mute. But in order to make everyone have fun, Ma Chao was going to give himself a try. But as the lord, no one dared to give him a shot. As a result, just like when Ma Chao got married last time, he was divided into two camps and started drinking at the banquet.
Ma Chao looked at them and smiled bitterly. He had to let Zhao Yun go back quickly. Otherwise, if he was drunk, his little sister would definitely not be able to spare him. Ma Chao was really afraid of Ma Yun and knew that if Zhao Yun was drunk and returned to get drunk during the wedding, he would not dare to imagine his fate. In the end, he couldn't even think about it, so he could only order everyone to let Zhao Yun go.
