Chapter 332 The Battle of Jizhou (10) 1/6
On the banks of the Songyin River, Han Sui quietly listened to Yan Xing's report and was speechless for a while.
Yan Xing didn't understand some things, but how could Han Sui, who had a heart of the Yellow River, not knowing the clues? Especially when Yang Fu talked with Yan Xing in the last conversation, Han Sui asked carefully, and the more he heard, the more he felt a little confused.
"Father-in-law, what do Yang Yishan mean?"
Han Sui stood up, wandered in the tent for a moment, and suddenly called his followers, "I immediately sent my order, and Cheng Yin's five troops immediately collected the camp and retreated to Jincheng after nightfall. At the same time, he sent someone to contact Lao Qiang, asking them to move to the Longqi City area."
After Yan Xing listened aside, he became more confused.
Longqi City, isn’t it governed by the Western Commander?
Shaodang Lao Qiang stationed between the Xihai and the Cizhi Hequ, which is also the most abundant water and grass in the Hehuang region. Han Sui and Shaodang Lao Qiang have always had close relationships. With their cooperation, Han Sui was born as a poor man and without any background, he firmly sat in the position of prefect of Jincheng; Shaodang Lao Qiang became the most powerful tribe in the Hehuang region because of Han Sui's help.
The whole Shaodang Lao Qiang has a population of about 200,000, and the momentum is terrifying.
But now, Han Sui asked Lao Qiang to gather in Longqi City, obviously to shrink his troops.
Why?
Yan Xing looked confused.
Seeing that Yan Xing didn't understand, Han sighed and said, "Yanming, I thought that if Ma Shoucheng was eliminated, I could dominate Xiliang.
But now it seems that someone has already stared at the land of Xiliang. Yang Yishan finally asked you, why did Ma Chao and Ma Teng sweep across the Western Regions with three thousand Qiang soldiers? In fact, it is also reminding you and me. There must be someone behind Ma Chao. And this person is extraordinary.
Zhao Zilong, I know this person.
He is the wife and brother of the Emperor's uncle of the Great Han Dynasty, the governor of Youzhou, and the brother of the Uncle Liu Chuang, the General of the Cycling General Liu Chuang... His appearance in Xiliang now is enough to explain all the problems. Why can Ma Chao sweep across the six countries of the Western Regions? Uncle Liu must be supported by his back. Otherwise, how could he gain a foothold in the Western Regions so quickly? As soon as Ma Teng died, he also gave Ma Chao sufficient reason to return to Xiliang. We were actually plotted against him."
"ah?"
Yan Xing was stunned and confused, and seemed a little confused.
Han Sui said: "Yanming, you think that Ma Teng loves Ma Tie and has always been repulsive to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao stayed in Xiliang and would be controlled by Ma Teng and could not do anything. He and Ma Teng split up, but actually preserved his own strength. He swept across the six countries in the Western Regions, and he had hundreds of thousands of people to call, which was far better than being suppressed by Ma Teng in Xiliang. Now Ma Teng is dead... He swept across the six countries in the Western Regions to rule Wuwei, who can compete with Xiliang? We killed Ma Teng. In fact, it was cheaper Ma Chao. No one could hold on to Wuwei anymore. He had backed to the Western Regions and had already achieved the state of a prince..."
Speaking of this, Han Sui couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Speaking of this, whether I or Cao Cao, I was plotted by Uncle Liu.
I tried my best to solve Ma Teng, which was actually equivalent to being cheaper for Uncle Liu, and letting him get to Xiliang without any blood. This is a game between Uncle Liu and Cao Cao, and we cannot intervene. Now Uncle Liu sent Zhao Zilong to Xiliang, which is obviously ambition to Liangzhou.
Cao Cao tried his best to eradicate Ma Teng, the evil wolf, but he did not expect to attract a tiger...
From now on, Xiliang is unstable, Liangzhou is unstable, Guanzhong is unstable!"
Yan Xing was stunned when he heard this and couldn't speak for a long time.
"So, according to what my father-in-law said, how should we deal with ourselves?"
"I heard that Uncle Liu is respectful to the wise and the nobles, and is eager to seek talent.
I have been paying attention to his actions in recent years, and finally I have gained some results. Since last year, I have started to let Ke Zui Shao become the household registration of Lao Qiang... Yanming, I want you to go on an envoy on my behalf to visit Youzhou, meet Liu Huangshu, and present this volume of household registration book to Liu Huangshu."
As he spoke, Han Sui walked to the desk and pulled out a box from behind the couch chair.
Yan Xing was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Han Sui meant.
"What father-in-law means to join the uncle Liu?"
But Han Sui laughed and waved his hands repeatedly, "Yanming's words are wrong. Although Uncle Liu is strong now, it is not worthy of my subsidy. If you take this box of household registration book to Youzhou, I believe Uncle Liu will definitely understand my intentions. At this time, none of us should be effective, just sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Just wait for Uncle Liu and Cao Sikong to decide the outcome, and we will make a decision."
"But, Ma Chao..."
Han Sui smiled even more, "No need to worry about Ma Chao. I believe that he will never use troops to Jincheng at this time."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the end of September of the seventh year of Jian'an, the first snow in Liangzhou arrived.
Ma Chao's army returned from the Western Regions and arrived at Yumen.
Three years ago, he left Xiliang with three thousand Qiang soldiers, with only Ma Dai next to him.
Now, he has the six countries in the Western Regions, with tens of thousands of soldiers and countless powerful generals. He has returned to Xiliang, but things have changed.
At Yumen Pass, a large flag stands proudly on the top of the city with golden characters on black background, with nine large characters written on it: "General Fu Bo, Marquis of Taiting, the Great Han Dynasty". In the center, he pinched the gold edge and walked with golden threads, embroidered with a large "ma". Ma Chao was shocked when he saw this large flag.
General Fu Bo, Marquis Tai Ting?
He glanced left and right, revealing a look of doubt.
"General, someone from the pass comes out of the city to greet him."
A member following Ma Chao will urge him to come forward and whisper a reminder.
Ma Chao was stunned, and then he noticed that there was a team of people outside Yumen Pass waiting for a long time.
The first scribe is about thirty years old, with a handsome appearance and a pretty figure. He is wearing a blue shirt and black beard under his jaw, which exudes a unique temperament.
Ma Chao immediately stepped forward, and the scholar also came over.
"Xu Shu, the military advisor of the General of the Cheqi General's Office, came to welcome the general back to Han under the order of the emperor."
Ma Chao quickly got off the horse and stepped forward to support Xu Shu.
"How can a barbarian man receive a great gift from a gentleman?"
"Hey, the Lord and the Lord are so bad. Lord and the Lord are originally descendants of Ma Fubo. Now the Emperor's uncle holds the seal of the General. It is reasonable to call Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the general. This time, he came to Liangzhou and was ordered to assist the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord should be the full ritual. How can he be neglected?"
"Is this General Fu Bo mine?"
Ma Chao looked up again, looked at the big crow on the top of the city, and suddenly understood Liu Chuang's painstaking efforts.
People often say that Ma Chao is a mixed Qiang, so he is rejected by many people. Even if he is the name of General Fubo’s descendants, he is suffering from the lack of evidence and is not accepted by others. Liu Chuang now calls him General Fubo. Although he is just a miscellaneous general, it is equivalent to rectifying his name. Whoever said that he is a mixed Qiang after that, Ma Chao can refute it with this. It can be regarded as having a foundation for establishing a foothold.
"Two hundred years ago, Ma Fubo, Guanzhong, and two hundred years later, Ma Fubo of Xiliang, must be a good story."
Xu Shu's words were just about to touch Ma Chao's heart. He couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Xu praised it, how dare Chao be with his ancestors?"
However, this made Ma Chao feel much more comfortable.
He pulled Xu Shu and walked side by side into Yumen Pass and sat down in the Yumen Pass government office.
"But I don't know what the purpose of Uncle Liu sending Mr. Xu this time?"
The speaker was named Yang Pu, who was the King of Di in Wudu. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao captured Pu Leihai, and Yang Pu led his races to migrate from Hanyang to the Western Regions. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Regions were far less desolate than later generations, and were quite suitable for human habitation. Ma Chao also gained the strength after he received the various elite cavalry and the Wudu Di cavalry, and his strength increased greatly. In addition, the supplies and food sent by Liu Chuang from Youzhou made Ma Chao even more powerful, which made Ma Chao more powerful, so he had a brilliant record of sweeping the six kingdoms of Tianshan Mountain. However, there were not many people around Ma Chao who were considered counselors. Although Yang Pu didn't know much literacy, he had a lot of ability to change, so he became Ma Chao's helper and gave him advice...
Xu Shu said: "The emperor's uncle was also very shocked to learn that General Ma was killed.
He guessed that the Lord and the Marquis would definitely return to Liangzhou, and was worried that the Lord and the Marquis would act recklessly, so he sent me to help the Lord and the Marquis. In addition to me, there were also the Emperor's uncle's wife and brother Zhao Yun, his wife's brother Zhuge Jun, and Yang Qian, a descendant of the famous Taishan scholar Yang Xu, who all obeyed the orders of the Lord and the Marquis. When I set off, the Emperor said: Ma Mengqi is my brother! Therefore, the Emperor's uncle wants us to treat the Lord and the Marquis, and if he is the same generation, he must not be negligent."
After hearing this, Ma Chao felt warm.
After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Meng Yan, how are you doing now?"
"Uncle the emperor is all well, and now he is preparing to fight Cao Cao in Jizhou, so he can't get out of here."
Ma Chao closed his eyes and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the scene where Xu Du and Liu Chuang gathered, and the indifference on his face also eased a lot, and a touch of softness appeared in his eyes.
"I am really ashamed that Brother Sheng came to the world, but I can't go and congratulate me.
In the past three years, with the care of Meng Yan, we can only run rampant in the Western Regions... Now when I return to Xiliang, I should share my worries for Meng Yan. However, I am a martial artist, and I am a martial artist who charges and wins on the battlefield. It is my strength to plan and win a thousand miles away.
I think Meng Yan knew about my situation, so he sent a military advisor to help him.
This is also good. If a military advisor gives me advice, I can be much easier..."
Ma Chao is not a stupid person.
He knew very well the intention of Liu Chuang sending Xu Shu.
But in comparison, the help Liu Chuang gave him in his most difficult time is worthy of Ma Chao's service for Liu Chuang. Not to mention, when he met Liu Chuang, there was far less utilitarianism at all. Everyone was in love, so they became sworn brothers. Now Liu Chuang is going to show off with Cao Cao, and he, a brother, cannot stand by and watch both public and private, and should also share the pressure for Liu Chuang.
Once this general direction is solved, the atmosphere will be more harmonious.
"By the way, what's going on in Xiliang now?"
"Han Sui was ordered to attack Wuwei, but after Cangsong was defeated by Zilong and Ziheng's design. Han Sui then retreated to Jincheng. Now the situation in Xiliang is calm. When I left, the emperor ordered a batch of supplies, food and food. However, because the road to Liangzhou was not very smooth, it had not been delivered. In a few days, when the emperor opened the Hedong road, it could be delivered without any obstacles."
Ma Chao nodded and smiled.
"Meng Yan's thoughts are meticulous.
That's good. I may be rectifying it in time when I return to Xiliang. After I stabilize the situation in Wuwei, I will immediately send troops to help Meng Yan with his help."
Outside the house, snow was flying.
Ma Chao stood up and walked to the door.
