Chapter 467 Zhang Lu accepts Ma Mengqi
From Fufeng County, Liangzhou to Hanzhong, Yizhou, you need to cross the Qinling Mountains. If you go from the south of Chang'an City to Hanzhong County, you need to go through the plank road, but due to disrepair, those plank roads are almost abandoned. In those years, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, vigorously built a plank road, so that he led a large army to appear near Chang'an City overnight, just like a heavenly army falling from the sky. Unexpectedly, he successfully occupied Chang'an City and began to compete for the road to dominate the world. It laid a solid foundation for the final defeat of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
The road from the south of Chang'an to Hanzhong County doesn't seem to work. Ma Chao could only lead 20,000 Xiliang soldiers across the Qinling Mountains. The east-west direction of the Qinling Mountains is like a long dragon crossing the edge of the vast Loess Plateau. The northern slope of the Qinling Mountains is dry and cold, especially the ice and snow belt above the mountainside, which is a little unbearable for the cold-resistant Xiliang soldiers. However, when crossing the top of the mountain, the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains is wet and warm. At the same height, the northern slope of the mountains is covered with ice and snow and the trees wither; while the southern slope is lush, and every time you fall hundreds of meters, it is a very different scene. It's true that there are four seasons in a mountain, and ten miles are different. The ten miles here refers to the altitude.
In an empty valley full of mountains and flowers, Ma Chao rested on the spot. Without Ma Chao's instructions, some soldiers consciously go hunting birds to improve the quality of meals. Ma Chao himself looked at the beautiful environment and touched the scene. He thought of his beloved wife Xiangfei, and the beauty of the two getting along with each other day and night.
Suddenly, a crisp eagle woke up the meditative Ma Chao. Ma Chao and the bodyguards around him looked up and saw a silver eagle hovering over the mountain forest. When the silver eagle swooped down, the other soldiers stood up alertly and prepared to attack the silver eagle with weapons. Seeing this, Ma Chao drank off the soldiers. Those soldiers didn't know the silver eagle, and the guards around Ma Chao knew the silver eagle. The powerful silver sculpture is the favorite of Ma Yunqi, a heroine.
The silver eagle swooped down quickly, and its wings fell beside Ma Chao in an instant, from rapid to static, but in the blink of an eye, it did not shake a dead grass and a fallen leaf under its feet. In this way, Yindiao's control of strength is no worse than that of a super warrior.
The silver eagle looked at Ma Chao, who looked lonely, and playfully blinked a few bright eyes like gems. Seeing this, Ma Chao smiled. He stretched out his hand and stroked the silver brocade-like feathers. When the silver sculpture took the initiative to lift his left claw, Ma Chao squatted down and went from the left claw of the silver sculpture to the next bamboo tube.
When the silver sculpture was elegantly lying beside Ma Chao, Ma Chao had taken out the letter from the bamboo tube. The content of the letter was written by Ma Yunqi. Ma Chao looked at the familiar handwriting and inevitably felt hot in his heart. At this time, Yang Qiu, Ma Dai and others also gathered towards Ma Chao.
After reading the letter carefully, Ma Chao became happy. He smashed the letter and turned it into nothing. Then, he said to the crowd in surprise, "Guys, the letter just now was sent by Yunmei. Yunmei said in the letter: Ben's father did not have passed away. At this time, he lived in a secret place in Huiji County. In the letter, Yunmei advised Ben General not to be an enemy of Cao Cao, to calm down and govern Fufeng County, and at the same time to guard against Liangzhou Mu Han Sui..."
Ma Chao spoke, and his face became annoyed. He shook his head with exclamation and said, "If I could receive Yunmei's letter earlier, I would have stopped and not rush to attack Cao Cao..."
When everyone heard the words, they also shook their heads with complicated faces. However, the reality is so coincidental, so cruel, no if, no regret medicine.
Ma Dai looked at the silent Ma Chao and asked softly, "Brother Meng Qi, should we tell Yunmei about Han Sui's slaughter of the Ma family?"
Ma Chao thought for a while and said slowly, "I don't think I should tell Yunmei about this matter for the time being, because Yunmei's husband is the king of Wu. They have to face a lot of important affairs. If they want to revenge on Han Sui, it's up to complete it... Don't smash Han Sui and kill the Han family. I will swear not to be a human being!"
Ma Chao said that at the end, his eyes burst into a chilling cold light. This cold light was more chilly than the sharp and shiny blade of the Sirius gun inserted next to Ma Chao...
After three days of resting on the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains, Ma Chao sent the speakable Ma Xiu as an envoy to visit Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Half a day after Ma Xiu and his party left, Ma Chao led the army to set out for Hanzhong. At this time, Yindiao said goodbye to Ma Chao and flew back to Huiji County.
Because the Ma Gang belonging to Taishici is all over China, the remote and desolate Liangzhou also has the rudder of the Ma Gang. These members of the Ma Gang are actually the detailed works of the Taishi Ci Group in various places, and the identity of the Ma Gang is just a cover. Therefore, even if Ma Chao did not tell Tai Shici and Ma Yunqi the fact that Han Sui's side defected and slaughtered the Ma family, half a month later, Tai Shici and his wife still knew about this tragic thing.
Ma Yunqi endured his grief and set up a ranking in the Yunwu Palace in Huiji County, wearing filial piety clothes to pay tribute to his family who died tragically. Tai Shici immediately summoned Guo Jia, Bo Cai and others to discuss the countermeasures. After a discussion, Taishi Ci finally adopted Guo Jia's suggestion: pretending not to know what happened in Liangzhou for the time being, and wait and see what happened. At the same time, Guo Jia asked Taishi Ci to comfort Ma Yunqi, who was in a sad state, and advised him to be restless. Sooner or later, Taishi Ci's side wanted to find Han Sui's old dog for revenge... It was unrealistic to let Taishi Ci lead a large army from Jiangdong to Liangzhou and cross tens of thousands of miles to avenge Han Sui. At the same time, Taishi Ci's new king of Wu was very Many things have to be done by Tai Shici... Due to the constraints of various affairs, Tai Shici himself can't get out of his way to Liangzhou.
Ma Yunqi, who took into account the overall situation, also accepted Guo Jia's suggestion in public. After this disturbance, Taishici Group worked together to re-enter the development and construction of the Jiangdong boundary. At this time, the rich Fuchun County was managed by the Sun family. Gan Ning continued to take care of Jiangxia County. Lv Meng led his troops to Changsha County. He occupied Changsha County without a bloodshed and worked part-time governor of Changsha County. Lu Su was the governor of Huiji County. At this time, he was completely obedient to Taishi Ci and had no two minds or objections. Zhou Tai was responsible. In the defense area in the northeast of the river, always guard against the harassment and invasion of Cao Cao's side; the young Lu Xun is the highest officer of Kangcheng, responsible for the safety of the heart city of Jiangdong Group; Cheng Pu, He Qi, Pan Zhang and other generals lead troops to station in the Chibi Water Army Camp, ready to respond to Jiangxia County and Changsha County... And Guo Jia It is carried out by Gao Shun and Sulman in accordance with the rules and requirements of the "Nine Palaces" to train soldiers day and night.
Two months later, when a large number of Yizhou people crossed Jingzhou and migrated to the boundary of Jiangdong, Taishici knew that there was another large-scale war in Yizhou, and even Jingzhou began to be chaotic. This battle was closely related to Ma Chao's entry into Hanzhong...< /P>
As expected by Taishici Group, the war in Yizhou suddenly escalated and became more intense due to the arrival of Ma Chaoyi, affecting almost every corner of Yizhou, making it impossible for the people to survive safely...
Let's talk about Ma Chao. After the envoy sent by Ma Chao arrived in Hanzhong, he was warmly entertained by Wudou Rice Religion. Zhang Lu heard that Ma Chao's 20,000 iron cavalry were approaching Hanzhong halfway. Before he discussed specific cooperation with Ma Dai, he sent a grain team to pick up Ma Chao.
When Ma Dai proposed to form an alliance with Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu was overjoyed and agreed without thinking. In the war in Yizhou, Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, and Zhang Lu confronted each other. In the early stage of the war, Liu Zhang's side had a slight upper hand. Later, Meng Huo, the leader of the Yi nationality in the south of Yizhou, also gathered 36 ethnic minority warriors to rebel, making Liu Zhang's side face the situation of the second-front battle between the north and the south. As a result, Liu Zhang's side began to be overstretched and lose the battlefield. The previous territory was gradually compressed and lost; when the war entered the middle stage, Zhang Lu and Meng won the advantage.
Liu Zhang, who was forced to use foreign talents and got the most important foreign talents, such as Zhang Ren. With the decadence of the past, his potential broke into the innate realm in a fierce battle and became a super general. Therefore, Liu Zhang had two super generals, Yan and Zhang Ren, which were divided by them. Don't host the battle on the north-south second line. As a result, Liu Zhang finally got rid of the dilemma of the second north-south battle and began a large-scale counterattack.
Because the super fierce general Yan Yan is a native of Yizhou, Liu Zhang knew how to use people and arranged Yan Yan to the southern battlefield to preside over the war against ethnic minorities. Zhang Ren was a foreigner from the north, so Liu Zhang promoted him to be a third-pin general and was responsible for the battle against Zhang Lu in the north.
In the southern battlefield, Yan Yan recaptured the city occupied by Meng Huo and began to guard it. After all, jungle warfare is not the strength of Han soldiers. In the northern battlefield, Zhang Ren led 20,000 miscellaneous troops to adopt the strategy of "concentrating superior forces and defeating the enemy by one", singing all the way, destroying the scattered enemy. The army finally forced Zhang Lu's army back to Hanzhong County.
In a position battle on the Hanzhong battlefield, the brave Zhang Ren actually defeated Zhang Lu, who could use Taoist magic, and seriously injured him, thus defeating Zhang Lu's tens of thousands of troops. So much so that Zhang Lu's power was finally compressed into the area of Hanzhong County, and the territory of Hanzhong County was basically occupied by Zhang Ren's army.
Seeing that his situation was on the verge of extinction, Zhang Lu handed over an olive branch to Ma Chao, who gathered troops to rebel openly, hoping to solve his urgent needs with the help of strong external forces. In Zhang Lu, he believes that if Ma Chao can lead 100,000 fierce Xiliang iron cavalry to help himself in Hanzhong, then his crisis can not only be relieved, but the whole Yizhou is bound to become his own thing...
So when Zhang Lu heard Ma Dai say: Ma Chao only led 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry into Hanzhong this time, he was still a little disappointed. However, no matter how thin the camel is, it also has meat. As long as Ma Chao can participate in the battle in person, another two more Zhang Ren will not be an opponent. Twenty thousand iron cavalry is enough to sweep the whole of Yizhou...
However, in Zhang Lu's extremely excited state, looking forward to the arrival of General Ma Chao, a document from the imperial court also reached Zhang Lu. After reading the edict, Zhang Lu couldn't help but be shocked and cold all over.
