Chapter 145: Ma Mengqi moves his troops north
After the imperial edict was drafted, Liu Hong sent Xiaohuangmen to Jizhou to read it, but he was still frowning.
Seeing this, Zhang Rang had to continue asking: "But I don't know what trouble your Majesty has?"
After hearing this, Liu Hong smiled bitterly, but his eyebrows relaxed a little, and he said slowly: "Father, please know that the most worrying thing I am now is the Yellow Turban Rebel. This moth is immortal for a day, and Zhang Jiao will not be eliminated for a day. After all, my heart will be uneasy!"
Liu Hong felt that it was hard to be an emperor. It would be fine if you say that you were not capable of expanding territory, right? Originally, you have limited abilities and there is no way to do this. But when you pass it to your own hands, it is getting less and less.
Let’s talk about the Western Regions first. On the surface, it is quite honest. It is said that it is listened to the great man, but in fact that the place has long been controlled by the great man. Besides, the Yellow Turban rebels are still very rampant. A group of rioters who cannot afford to eat dare to occupy half of the country. They have not yet wiped out them. Thinking about it, it will make me feel a headache.
Actually, Zhang Rang didn't know this at all, but he really couldn't say anything. He didn't understand the war on the front line, it was all the business of Dong Zhuo and the others. But the matter in this palace depends on himself. Now the emperor is having a headache, how can he share the worries for His Majesty?
He was thinking about it, but Liu Hong continued to say: "Although Dong Zhongying was defeated, Huangfu Yizhen, Zhu Gongwei, and Ma Mengqi are all good. When I think of them, I feel very comforted!"
Zhang Rang had known about these things long ago. Wasn't Huangfu Song and his men already entering Yanzhou? Ma Chao also wiped out Zhao Hong from the Yellow Turbans.
Zhang Rang said: "The Yellow Turban Rebels in Yanzhou should not be a big problem for Huangfu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei. I believe that Your Majesty will get the news of their victory soon!"
Liu Hong nodded with a smile, "Yes, I think so too!"
"As for Ma Mengqi, Wancheng, I wonder what arrangements does Your Majesty have?"
Zhang Rang saw that, he felt that Liu Hong should have intentionally arranged for Ma Chao, so that's why.
Liu Hong said: "In Wancheng, since the Yellow Turban enemy leader Zhao Hong was appointed as the leader, there has been no one in Jingzhou's Yellow Turban, and the danger of Wancheng has naturally been resolved. As for the remaining Yellow Turban remnants of Jingzhou, I believe that with the Jingzhou Governor Xu Yu, he can handle it, then Ma Chao..."
As he said that, Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang hurriedly asked, "Did your Majesty intend to let Ma Mengqi go north to Jizhou?"
Liu Hong nodded slowly when he heard this, "What my father said is right, I mean that this is what I mean! Nowadays, there are many Yellow Turban people in Jizhou, and Dong Zhongying should have no problem dealing with Ma Yuanyi, but Zhang Jiao in Guangzong City... I am not underestimating him, Dong Zhongying, he may really be no match for Zhang Jiao! Because Guangzong City is no better than anywhere else. After all, it is the old nest of Taiping Road, and it is not comparable to ordinary places!" After saying that, Liu Hong shook his head, but he was still dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo.
Although Liu Hong did not have much ability, he was definitely not a waste of money. He still had some of his own ideas. He just thought that Dong Zhuo was not Zhang Jiao's opponent, so he intended to let Ma Chao go north to Jizhou to support Dong Zhuo and to wipe out the traitors as soon as possible. He could feel at ease. Of course, if Huangfu Song and Zhu Ye had finished fighting, he would also let them go north and then suppress the traitors together.
Zhang Rang nodded, "Your Majesty said so well. I also thought Ma Mengqi should go north to Jizhou immediately and go to suppress the thieves!"
Liu Hong laughed, "That's right, it's really 'heroes' that are similar to each other'! Hahaha!"
After listening to Liu Hong's words, Zhang Rang could only laugh dryly from the side.
Wancheng, since Ma Chao and his friends defeated Zhao Hong last time, it has been a long time since they were over. Ma Chao and Qin Jie have recruited a lot of new recruits in Wancheng and are stepping up their training at this time.
Although Zhao Hong is dead now and the danger in Wancheng has been lifted, living in this world today, it is definitely not possible for you to have no soldiers. So whether it is for Qin Jie or Ma Chao, they have recruited a lot of new recruits in Wancheng.
Of course, this time, they all have their own resources and they are divided very clearly. As for the issue of money and grain, it is actually not a problem at all. Not to mention Wancheng alone, it is originally a place with a lot of people and a place with sufficient money and grain. Liu Hong is also quite generous and has already given Wancheng a lot of money and grain supplies, so it can be said that recruiting new recruits is not a problem at all.
Moreover, Ma Chao also felt that Liu Hong might not "let him go" him, so now he is prepared for any trouble. Now he recruits more soldiers as soon as possible, so he can set off as soon as possible after Liu Hong issued an order. If he didn't have many soldiers here, why would he fight?
On this day, Ma Chao was training recruits in the school ground in Wancheng, and Qin Jie sent someone to find him.
"Report to General Qin, Lord Qin asks the general to go to the prefect's mansion to discuss!"
"Oh? OK, I understand. You go back first, I'll come soon!"
"No! I'll take my leave!" The servant's mission had been completed, so he turned around and took his leave after he said that.
It seems that Qin Jie has something to do and he has to look for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his servants to invite him to the prefect's mansion at this time. Ma Chao thought so.
"Uncle comes!"
"I'm here!"
"I'll leave all the training matters to you!"
"promise!"
"Okay! I'll go see what the prefect Qin is looking for me. I guess I won't be able to come back. I'll leave everything here to you!"
"No! Please rest assured, lord!"
Ma Chao didn't say anything more, but just patted Chen Dao on the shoulder twice, then left the school ground and headed towards the prefect's mansion.
It is said that Chen Dao is actually much stronger than Ma Chao's training, but Ma Chao has advanced training methods after all, which Chen Dao doesn't understand. So it can be said that Chen Dao has always watched Ma Chao train soldiers with a learning attitude. He also admires his lord very much, so why do he know so many "weird" methods of training soldiers?
Of course, in Chen Dao's eyes, although many of Ma Chao's methods are stranger than traditional ones, it has to be admitted that the effect it has is obvious. Now Chen Dao has also learned these "weird" methods of Ma Chao for "stealing the teacher", and now he can "get out".
After entering the prefect's mansion and arrived at the living room, Ma Chao found that Qin Jie had an unknown little yellow gate. They were the two of them. As soon as they saw the little yellow gate, Ma Chao immediately understood. It seemed that this was an angel from the court. Otherwise, Qin Jie was so anxious to send someone to find him. Who can offend, who can't offend easily, and who can't offend, Qin Jie really clearly distinguished.
When he saw that Ma Chao was coming, Xiaohuangmen did not dare to neglect it. He quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "General Ma!"
Ma Chao quickly returned the gift, "I don't know that the angel is coming, Chao is missing and welcomes you, I hope he can forgive me!"
Xiaohuangmen smiled after hearing this, "General Ma is polite. I heard from the prefect Qin that the general has been training new recruits in the school grounds. If you want to say that this is also a hard work for the country, and General Ma is worthy of being the pillar of my great Han whom praised by His Majesty!"
Xiaohuangmen flattered Ma Chao. He naturally knew Ma Chao's current status in front of the emperor, and also knew that he was the person under Zhang Rang's care, so he had to flatter him.
Ma Chao just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Xiaohuangmen continued: "The right general Ma Chao received the order!" As he said that, he took out the imperial edict and began to read it.
After the Xiaohuangmen finished reading the imperial edict, "My minister, Ma Chao, thank you!" Ma Chao quickly took over the imperial edict and said.
It seems that what should come is always coming, and you can't escape it. Liu Hong finally asked himself to go north to Jizhou to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turbans. It seems that he is going to work with Dong Zhuo this time, and Ma Chao thought so.
Later, he still followed the "rules of the world" and was still in the same series of hospitality. Although Qin Jie was not happy, he still had to compromise. Anyway, this matter was not once or twice, and he had already become accustomed to it. As for Ma Chao, although he was not happy, he was even more familiar with it. Anyway, he had sent the angel away earlier, which would be a victory as soon as possible, right?
As for the angel, although it was changed to other small yellow gates, not the one I came here a few times, but that one has not changed much. And the words are similar to those before, and they are basically the same, and they are all the same. In the end, Ma Chao and the others finally sent the angel away. Of course, in the end, Ma Chao gave away a lot of local specialties.
Qin Jie is quite upright. Not to mention that he is the same as Lu Zhi, but it is not much different. So he naturally would not take the initiative to deliver local specialties, and these were done by Ma Chao, and he alone replaced them.
After watching the angels leave, Ma Chao thought that the birdman was gone. As long as the angels from the court came, he would lose money and all the people were black. It would definitely not work if you gave them less, so it would be almost the same. Only by satisfying them will you be fine. So Ma Chao doesn't like to deal with them, but sometimes he has to do so. This is all helpless.
After the angel left, Ma Chao was also preparing to lead the army north to Jizhou the next day. This time his team had another 10,000 people, not too many, but he himself felt that it was not small.
Qin Jie had known that Ma Chao would be like this, so he was almost the same as last time Ma Chao left Wancheng and was ordered to go to Yuzhou. However, after the last time, Ma Chao came back to rescue Wancheng, but both of them knew this time and probably would never come back.
After all, the two of them were comrades-in-arms who had been on the battlefield together, so although Qin Jie and Ma Chao were not very close, they were also somewhat intimate. Qin Jie took his subordinates to send Ma Chao's army out of Wancheng quite far.
"I will give you a thousand miles away, and I will finally part! Meng Qi, I will send you here. Take care of me!" Qin Jie said with his fists.
In fact, even if Qin Jie didn't stop, Ma Chao would have to let him stop. It was enough to see it. This was interesting enough. If it was far away, it might leave Jingzhou. However, Ma Chao could no longer see the city of Wancheng, but he still looked in the direction of Wancheng City, and he didn't know when he would come back. After that, Ma Chao did return here again, but that was a long time later.
Ma Chao also clasped his fists, "Prefect Qin, everyone, take care of yourself! Chao, I'll say goodbye!"
Qin Jie's men also clasped their fists and said in unison: "Take care!"
After saying that, Ma Chao turned over and said loudly: "Send an order, set off for Jizhou!"
The commander quickly sent an order: "The general has an order, and the whole army will march towards Jizhou!"
"The whole army marched towards Jizhou!"
...
In this way, Ma Chao, in accordance with the imperial edict of Liu Hong, led his army north to Jizhou to participate in the final decisive battle with the Yellow Turbans.
Chapter completed!
