    Tao Qian was stunned and subconsciously said: "What's the problem? The dog is in the back hall. If the general wants to summon him, just send someone to summon him!" After that, he said to the waiters on the left and right: "You go to the back hall and bring the two generals there."  Sir, please come, the general has summoned you!" The servant responded, and soon a young man of about twenty years old came into the inner hall.  Taking a closer look, I saw that this man was eight feet long, with a well-proportioned figure, a white face and beardless eyes, and a rather heroic spirit.  Tao Ying is the second son of Tao Qian, but he is not as good at writing as his father and brother. Instead, he likes to use swords, guns and sticks.  Tao Qian came from a literary background, and was both fond of and disappointed with his son. Fortunately, his eldest son, Tao Shang, inherited his mantle, so he did not restrain Tao Ying very much.  Therefore, Tao Ying intensified his efforts and often consulted the generals in the army for martial arts skills. Over the past few years, he had become quite good at it.  "Tao Ying pays homage to the general! The reputation of the general has spread all over the world. In the Luoyang Hero Tournament, all the heroes were undefeated. Ying admires him greatly!" Ma Chao stood up and helped Tao Ying up. He smiled and said: "Brother Tao, there is no need to be polite. It's just  The heroes of the world are just giving them face. Otherwise, how can I hold the title of hero?" Tao Ying was flattered and excited. He stood up and stared at Ma Chao, clasping his fists and saying, "The general is too humble. Who in the world can do this?  People don¡¯t know? How can Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and others who were defeated by the general be unknown people? They should practice martial arts from a young age and only want to be taught by unknown teachers. The general¡¯s martial arts are the best in the world. If you don¡¯t dislike it, you are willing to worship the general.  Master, please don't refuse!" After saying that, he knelt down and prostrated.  Ma Chao didn¡¯t expect that Tao Ying was still his die-hard fan, so things would be much easier to handle.  Since you, Tao Qian, refuse to express your stance, I will force you to express your stance and abduct your two sons.  Although it is said that death is like a lamp going out, no matter how open-minded you are, you can't not miss your own flesh and blood, right?  When Tao Qian saw that his son wanted to worship Ma Chao as his disciple, he immediately said angrily: "That's nonsense. What kind of status is the general? How can I accept you as a disciple? You are really overestimating your capabilities, why don't you retreat quickly!" Tao Ying is really afraid.  Dad, although I was reluctant to hear this, I didn¡¯t dare to disobey my father¡¯s orders.  Turn around and retreat.  Ma Chao waved his hand and said: "Tao Shijun, you don't have to be like this. I once said in the recruitment order that everyone in the world is equal, how can we judge based on status? I think Tao should be young and eager to learn. If he is carefully cultivated, he will definitely be one of the best."  Great talent!" Tao Qian was speechless.  Tao Ying was ecstatic.  He said excitedly: "So. General, are you willing to accept me as your disciple? Teacher is here, please bow to me!" As he said this, he was about to bow down.  Ma Chao quickly supported Tao Ying, shook his head and said: "No! Although I have a reputation for bravery, I am busy with the affairs of the court every day and have no time to teach apprentices. Besides, my martial arts were passed down from my ancestor Ma Yuan.  The Tianlong City-Breaking Halberd weighs more than a hundred kilograms and cannot be learned by those who are not born with supernatural powers! If you try hard, you will only mislead others and yourself!" Tao Ying's face was full of decadence, and all the excitement he had just felt was gone.  Ma Chao smiled slightly and continued: "However, I can find a teacher for you. His martial arts skills are just as good as mine. If you can become your teacher, your achievements in the future will be limitless. It will be far better than having this person as your teacher."  !" Tao Ying was overjoyed and asked anxiously: "Who is the general talking about? But that Lu Bu of Yanzhou? Lu Bu is brave but has no virtue, so he shouldn't bother to accept him as his disciple!" Ma Chao felt amused and thought to himself: Lu Bu, Lu Bu, no!  Thinking that you have such a famous name but are so notorious, it is such a failure as a person.  Immediately he said: "L¨¹ Bu is a dishonest person! It's not worth mentioning. The martial arts of the person recommended by this general is by no means inferior to L¨¹ Bu. Can Second Master Tao take a guess?" Tao Ying was not stupid either. He thought for a moment and became very happy.  He asked: "Is the last general one of the generals Zhao Zilong and Huang Hansheng under the general's command?" "You can teach me!" Ma Chao pointed to Huang Zhong across the table and said: "Huang Hansheng of Nanyang fought with Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass.  He has been undefeated for three hundred rounds. His swordsmanship and archery skills are unparalleled in the world. Few people can surpass him. He is your master!"  Is there any reason for not knowing?  He immediately looked at Tao Qian and asked to be his disciple as long as Tao Qian agreed.  Tao Qian wanted to refuse, but couldn't find a suitable excuse. Besides, Huang Zhongyong was well known all over the world and was Ma Chao's right-hand man. If his son worshiped Huang Zhong as his disciple, he would be protected by Ma Chao and have a bright future.  After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't bear to refuse Tao Ying's pleading eyes and nodded slightly.  As if he had been pardoned, Tao Ying knelt down and worshiped, saying respectfully: "Tao Ying, a native of Danyang, has heard of General Huang's reputation for a long time. He is willing to become his teacher. I also ask the general not to give up and accept Tao Ying as his disciple!" Huang Zhong was at a loss.  However, he also understood Ma Chao's intention. This move was nothing more than to win over Tao Qian in order to regain Xuzhou without any blood.  At that moment, he frowned and said, "Let me ask you, general, what is your purpose in learning martial arts?" Tao Ying said without hesitation: "Wen can stabilize the country, and martial arts can determine the country. You should study martial arts wholeheartedly, just to become a generation."General, protect the safety of the people of a place.  A few days ago, Cao Cao's thief robbed Xuzhou. Xuzhou had a population of one million and a warehouse full of food, but he could only watch helplessly as Cao thief succeeded!  If a famous general like General Huang is stationed in Xuzhou, how dare Cao Cao invade Xuzhou?  " Huang Zhong nodded and said: "Since the general recommended it, I have no reason not to accept it?  However, learning martial arts is not something that happens overnight. If you want to achieve something, you still need to study hard and practice hard. The hardships involved cannot be explained to outsiders!  Even if you are a genius like a general, you are not an exception. If you can do this, you can become my disciple and I will teach you everything I have learned. If not, please find another famous teacher!  Tao Ying's face was firm and serious: "Teacher, please bow to me as a disciple!"  In the future, whether in water or fire, Tao Ying will never frown!  "After that, he bowed three times, which was regarded as the formal ceremony of becoming a master. Huang Zhong accepted the three bows, took off the sword from his waist, and said: "I have followed my master for more than twenty years. Although this sword is not precious,  But it is also extremely sharp and has beheaded countless people. I will give it to you as a meeting gift today!  " "Thank you, teacher!"  "At that time, it was important not to refuse the gift from the elders. Tao Ying respectfully took the sword and officially became Huang Zhong's disciple. Tao Qian was also very relieved and laughed and said: "With General Huang teaching the dog, I will naturally  Very assured!  Later, when the apprenticeship ceremony is presented, General please don¡¯t refuse!  " Huang Zhong repeatedly said that he did not dare, but Ma Chao laughed and said: "As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Since I have found a famous teacher for my second son Tao Ying, how can I favor one over the other?  I think that his brother Tao Shang is also a talented person, so I recommended him to the imperial court as the imperial censor Zhonglang, and became a disciple of Cai Yong, a great scholar of the time. I wonder what Tao Shijun's wishes are?  " Tao Qian's heart trembled. Now that things have happened, he finally understands Ma Chao's intention. It is just to get his two sons to serve as officials in the court and to serve as hostages, just like Ma Chao dealt with Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou. Liu Yu  Because his only son Liu He served as a lieutenant general in the court, Liu Yu did not dare to oppose Ma Chao, and even kept silent about Ma Chao's control of the Han court. If he agreed to this, it would be equivalent to giving others control.  If he does something detrimental to Ma Chao, his two sons will be in danger, and he is hesitant. (To be continued)
