Ma Chao led his troops to enter the territory of Sili smoothly. Because Li Jue and the others had already run away, it was impossible for them to still be trapped in this place or send troops to block Ma Chao's Liangzhou army or something.

"Transfer our military orders, and we will arrive in Chang'an in a short distance, and the whole army will advance at full speed!"

"No!" The commander went down to pass the command, and the entire army marched quickly and advanced at full speed, striving to arrive in Chang'an City as soon as possible.

I had passed by Fufeng Maoling before, but Ma Chao didn't even go back to his hometown to check it out. Actually, it was not that he didn't want to, but that it was really impossible to go there. After all, as the lord, he was out of the battle at this time, so there was no big army in a hurry to march, and then you went back to his hometown to check it out. So I just passed by, but Fufeng County was occupied by Ma Chao without any surprise.

For the Liangzhou Army, how could the county and state soldiers with less than 10,000 people be considered an opponent? Especially the local soldiers of Sili, the combat power is indeed not very good. So compared with the Liangzhou Army, it is really far behind.

For Ma Chao, the most important thing about Fufeng was not his hometown, but Chen Cang, a military city. It was this place, and the location was indeed very important. Fortunately, I seized the opportunity this time and entered Sili while Li Jue and Guo Si were in an internal conflict. Otherwise, if I joined Sili from Liangzhou, the most direct way was to attack Chen Cang. However, this time, I didn’t have this incident and came smoothly.

Ma Chao left Meng Da in Fufeng, and there were 3,000 people. Although 3,000 people were not too many for the entire Fufeng County. But to be honest, this place is Ma Chao's hometown and has advantages, so it can indeed get some help from Maoling. Three thousand people are actually enough. After all, Fufeng is actually a place that Li Jue and Guo Si have abandoned, so there is nothing that can threaten this place for a while.

Because Hanzhong to the south is Ma Chao's territory. Liangzhou to the north is also Liangzhou to the west is also Liangzhou, Hanyang County in Liangzhou, and you can reach Long County not far away. So in such a place, Ma Chao naturally doesn't have to garrison heavy troops for the time being. After all, there are many places to use troops, so you can't waste it too much.

--------------------------------------------------

On the way to Chang'an, or on the way to Sili from Longxian, Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army encountered many victims. Of course, the victims were basically caused by Li Jue. However, they saw Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army, but they all hid far away. Ma Chao could only smile bitterly at this. Not to mention ordinary people, he was afraid of the army. Just by looking at so many people fleeing, he knew what Li Jue and Li Zhiran did in Chang'an. So the people were so afraid of the army. Ma Chao felt that it was really not without a reason.

When Ma Chao brought Liangzhou troops to Chang'an, he frowned deeply. He thought to himself. This is really Chang'an? He was right, and this surprised him too much. No, it should be said that it was all very unexpected. Ma Chao has not been to Chang'an, but he is very familiar with Chang'an. But this, compared with what he saw before, is really a world of difference. It should be said that he cannot compare with it at all. Yes, that's it.

At this time, Ma Chao also secretly cursed Li Jue and Guo Si in his heart, which was too cruel. Anyway, he couldn't do this. In fact, it was not just Ma Chao who had such thoughts. Whether it was Yan Yan and Ma Chao's subordinates, or the vast majority of the soldiers of the Liangzhou army, they actually thought so in their hearts. Chang'an was so harmed by Li Jue and the others. What I know is that this was the capital of the Han Dynasty before. But I don't know that if I came here at this time, it would be an exaggeration to think that this place was a purgatory on earth, which was a terrible sight.

Ma Chao took over Chang'an smoothly. To put it nicely, this is called taking over. To put it nicely, it is actually something that Li Jue and the others don't want to pick it up like a treasure. Isn't that just happening? But in this regard, Ma Chao really thinks that he made money by himself. Even though his burden is really heavy now, all this is worth it. The so-called "If you want to get it, you must give it first", isn't that true. If you want to get something, but you don't want to give anything, then it will definitely be impossible in the end.

The importance of Chang'an in Jingzhao to Ma Chao is self-evident, so even though he knew that Li Jue left him the most ragged stall, Ma Chao still took over. What he took out will come back sooner or later. Ma Chao has always liked Li Bai's two lines of poetry, "I was born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money was gone." In his opinion, for him, this is actually the case.

--------------------------------------------------

Because Ma Chao was prepared for a long time, although the result was beyond his expectations, it was not a big surprise. This was actually within the scope of his acceptance. If Li Jue massacred all the people in Chang'an City, then this would be beyond his expectations. However, no matter how many victims there were, it was not too big for Ma Chao. Moreover, because he had prepared for a long time, he really brought a lot of food and grass. After all, I thought about it before, I was prepared for it.

For Ma Chao, you can also look at this matter from another perspective. Li Jue basically snatched all Chang'an, and the land was scraped three feet away. The people were displaced and complained, but Li Zhiran was unpopular. In fact, this is a good thing, because Li Jue gave himself an opportunity to gather Sili, especially the people in Chang'an. Ma Chao was worried about occupying Sili, and it was difficult for him to gain a foothold in a short period of time. Isn't this "sleepy someone gives him a pillow". Before Li Jue knew it, he actually gave himself a chance, wasn't it?

So, everything has its pros and cons, depending on which aspect you look at it. Your own losses must be lost, and this cannot be changed, but may your own losses be lost in vain? At least Ma Chao doesn't think it's not. Sooner or later, it will prove that your losses are not, and it will not be lost in vain.

He had his own subordinates to deal with other trivial matters, and he thought that what Ma Chao had to do was to meet a talented person in Jingzhao.

Ma Chao remembered that he was the time when he came to Beijing with the imperial edict from Liu Hong. In Zheng County, Jingzhao, he met Du Ji Du Bohou, who was still a county magistrate in the local area. At that time, he thought that he was a talent, but unfortunately it was impossible for him to surrender to him at that time, so he didn't have much thought. It was just "one time, another time". He was nothing at that time, but at least he could take advantage of it at this time.

So Ma Chao asked someone to bring all the official lists of Jingzhao. He searched them one by one, but to his disappointment, the name of Du Ji is now not available.

Ma Chao was not giving up on this. He specially found several officials from Jingzhao who did not leave Li Jue and others and asked about the situation. As a result, "Huang Tian relied on his hard work", and Ma Chao finally got some news about Du Ji from one person.

Du Ji was originally from Duling in Jingzhao, but he was a county magistrate in Zheng County many years ago. At that time, he was young and full of energy. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo took charge of the government. At this time, Du Ji was still an official in Jingzhao, but his official position was improved. However, after Li Jue hostages the emperor, Du Ji, who had a bright future, resigned from his post and returned to his hometown.

In fact, Ma Chao could understand that Du Ji was a talent, that's right. In Dong Zhuo's era, Dong Zhuo had a top strategist like Li Ru, so he was naturally aware of Du Ji's ability. But for someone like him, even if Dong Zhongying didn't understand, Li Wenyou must have understood that he could only make friends, but he could not offend him. As a result, he was peaceful.

But when Dong Zhuo was about to come, when Li Jue and Guo Si were in control of the government, it must be Li Jue who put pressure on Du Ji. As for what this pressure was, Ma Chao probably might be Li Jue who wanted him to serve him, but could Du Ji be someone who could compromise so easily? Especially Li Jue and Li Zhiran were, just a martial artist in Liangzhou, so it would be strange if Du Ji could respect him. However, Du Ji could not resist Li Jue too much, and he probably would have to resign in the end.

Ma Chao felt that his thoughts made sense, but in fact, it was not bad. The facts were similar to what Ma Chao thought, but it was related to Li Jue. As a result, Du Ji resigned from office and refused to go back to his hometown.

--------------------------------------------------

I didn't know it before, so of course I didn't say anything. But now I know it, so Ma Chao intends to go to Du Ji's hometown, Jingzhao Duling. After all, it's really rare. Ma Chao knows that there are more and more talents like Du Ji, he doesn't think there are more and more talents. But this is true, "can't be met but not more than a request". Thinking about it, it's true.

Ma Chao quickly found Yan Yan, Huang Quan and Li Hui.

"I'm looking for three of you here to come here, so I'm asking you to go with me!"

Ma Chao said to the three of them directly, and the three of them said in unison: "Okay! Everything is up to the lord's order!"

Ma Chao nodded, "Three of you go to Duling in Jingzhao with me. Let's go and invite someone out of the mountain!"

When the few people heard it, they understood. It turned out that their lord was very loving, and they wanted to invite people out of the mountain. But they knew that if this person had no real talent, then their lord would not have invited people out of the mountain. So after hearing what Ma Chao said, they did not dare to underestimate it and attached great importance to it.

Yan Yan hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the lord wants, when will I set off?"

"immediately!"

Ma Chao smiled at the three of them, and the three of them nodded, and then prepared to follow their lord to Duling to invite the talents that the lord valued to come out. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
