Chapter 126 Ma Mengqi recruits troops from the whole army
Because of the timely arrival of the Arima Super Army, Sun Xiazhi was bound to win the battle, and the most defeated battle ended with his death and the rout of the Yellow Turban Army.
And the danger of Wancheng was naturally solved, seeing that the danger of Wancheng had been solved, Qin Jie was really unable to support it anymore and fell. Seeing this, Ma Chao hurriedly ordered someone to support him, and then sent him back to Taishou Mansion.
In the Taishou Mansion, Ma Chao found a doctor to treat Qin Jie's wounds, because Qin Jie was slightly injured in the battle with the Yellow Turban, so the wounds naturally had to be dealt with quickly. As for the collapse of the most unsupported people, the doctor said that there was no major problem, it was nothing more than overwork, and it would be good to rest for a few days.
"I'm coming......"
Qin Jie finally woke up, but he felt weak at this time, and it was difficult to move. I only remember that Ma Chao led the reinforcements to kill at that time, and then Wancheng was finally defended, and he couldn't remember what happened after that.
"Great, my lord, you've finally woken up!" The subordinates who served Qin Jie said happily when they saw Qin Jie wake up.
"Me, what's going on?" Qin Jie asked.
"Lord Hui, you fell down due to overwork after the battle to defend the city, or Lord Ma asked you to send you back to the Taishou Mansion. Later, I found a doctor to treat the wound for you, and the doctor said that you were overworked, so you should rest for a few days! ”
Qin Jie nodded when he heard this, "Then how long have I been lying down?" ”
"It's been more than two days!"
"I see, Zhilu said, you go and invite Master Ma to me."
Qin Jie said weakly to his subordinates, he didn't expect that he had been lying on the couch for more than two days, and seeing this, he would have to rest for a day or two before he could fully recover.
"No!"
The subordinate took the order and left, in fact, even if there was no Qin Jie's order, he would have invited Ma Chao, because Ma Chao had already told him that if Qin Jie woke up, he would go to him as soon as possible.
After a while, Ma Chao came over, he came to Qin Jie's couch, and when Qin Jie saw Ma Chao, he hurriedly said: "Meng Qi, thank you this time!" ”
Ma Chao smiled after hearing this, "Qin Taishou is polite to you, this is what Chao should do, but I don't know if Taishou is resting well?" ”
Qin Jie nodded, took Ma Chao's hand, and said, "Meng Qi, my gratitude to you is not only because you saved me, but also because of you, so Wancheng was saved, you saved the people of Wancheng!" ”
Ma Chao saw that Qin Jie was a little excited, and hurriedly said: "Taishou doesn't have to be excited, since Your Majesty has asked Chao to come to Wancheng's aid, then the supernatural can't be neglected." Fortunately, I rushed over in time before, if I was late, I couldn't live with Your Majesty, I couldn't stop with Taishou, and I couldn't stop with the people of Wancheng! It's okay, it's okay. ”
"Just because of your timely arrival Meng Qi, I didn't become a sinner, and I thank you on behalf of the people!" Qin Jie said to Ma Chao sincerely.
"The doctor said that Taishou should recuperate, and it is not appropriate to say too much about Taishou, the meaning of Taishou is more than understandable, and Taishou should follow the doctor's instructions."
Qin Jie nodded, indicating that he understood, "Wancheng's big and small affairs now depend on Meng Qi!" He knew that Ma Chao should have handled the affairs of Wancheng on his own in the past two days, so Qin Jie was even more grateful to Ma Chao.
"Rest assured, everything is super, and you must do your best!"
"Meng Qi does things, I don't worry, then everything will be Lao Mengqi!"
"Super self-dedication, too good to recuperate, super this is retiring!"
Qin Jie didn't say anything more, just nodded after listening to Ma Chao's words, Ma Chao turned around and left after standing up, and the next person sent Ma out of the house.
In the Luoyang Han Palace, Liu Hong was immediately overjoyed after reading the battle report of Ma Chao's army Wancheng, and said in his heart, it has to be Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, as long as he makes a move, then everything is fine.
"Father, Ma Mengqi is really a masterpiece in the world, and it is the luck of the court that the Han can have such a talent, and I am lucky, hahaha!" Liu Hong said to Zhang Rang with a smile.
Zhang Rang also smiled after hearing this, and said: "The slave also thinks so, Ma Mengqi is really my great man's blessing!" ”
Liu Hong nodded, what Zhang Rang said was good, from the time he sent Ma Chao to quell the rebellion against the Yellow Turban, wherever Ma Chao went, he won, isn't this the lucky general of the Han Dynasty, it's not wrong at all. And now the other armies are also triumphant and marching forward. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's battlefield in Yuzhou are the same as winning battles, and they are encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban traitors in Yuzhou on the side of Runan. As for Lu Zhi's side, he has also recovered a lot of lost ground, won several battles, and has been confronting Zhang Jiao's main army.
In Liu Hong's view, according to the current momentum, the elimination of the Yellow Turban traitors is just around the corner, and there is no problem at all. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, Liu Hong finally stopped worrying about the specific situation on the front line after knowing that the specific situation on the front line was good, he was finally no longer worried, the meal was able to eat well, and he could sleep peacefully, now it is not to say that he is worry-free, but it is almost the same, anyway, it is safer, his subordinates are quelling the rebellion on the front line, and he can be the emperor in this Luoyang Palace.
Liu Hong ordered someone to draw up an edict, and praised Ma Chao well in the holy decree, and rewarded many things, but it was still the same as before, and he would give him all the things when he returned to Luoyang.
Ma Chao listened to the angel from the court reading the holy decree in Wancheng, and he was amused in his heart, he said in his heart that Liu Hong's holy decree was basically the same every time. It's all about praising you first, holding you up to heaven, and then rewarding you with a bunch of things, but we have to wait until you return to Luoyang and then give it to you. He has his own statement, saying that it is because you are in the army, and it is inconvenient to receive so many things, so when you return to Luoyang, it will be sent to your house together.
But there is something different this time, that is, Liu Hong asked Ma Chao's army to rest in Wancheng for some time. Now Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, as well as Lu Zhi's side, don't need to go beyond the horse, so Liu Hong wants Ma Chao to stay in Wancheng for the time being. Because Jingzhou's side has not been peaceful, there are still a lot of Yellow Turban Army, and other places have Jingzhou Thorn History Xu Xuan to deal with them, but in Wancheng, although Xu Xuan is the Thorn History of Jingzhou, he really can't take care of much.
And after these several battles, Liu Hong felt that he was still a little uneasy about letting others be in Wancheng, and only if Ma Chao could be here, it would be reliable. So he ordered Ma Chao's army to rest in Wancheng, and this was actually to let Ma Chao stay in Wancheng for a longer time.
Qin Jie and Ma Chao both understood Liu Hong's thoughts, and they both understood his approach, but neither of them had any opinions. Especially Ma Chao, he is actually happy in his heart, he can't be happy to rest for a while like this. Because he really doesn't like to fight, and now he finally has time to rest, how good it is.
But although he was able to rest for a while, Ma Chao still did everything that should be done. Because Qin Jie knew Liu Hong's intentions, and he was also very self-aware, he temporarily handed over the military and political affairs of Wancheng to Ma Chao to deal with it with full authority. Ma Chao is also in charge, and he is not polite to Qin Jie, indeed, it is better to deal with it by himself than Qin Jie. Although Qin Jie is also a capable person, he is more good at political affairs than military affairs, so of course it is better to take over military and political affairs by himself.
So don't look at Ma Chao didn't go to the front line to fight the Yellow Turban, but there is not much less on his side, after all, Wancheng has a lot of things waiting for him to do.
After eliminating Sun Xia before, Ma Chao ordered people to clean up the battlefield. The result of the statistics is that most of Sun Xia's Yellow Turban soldiers ran away, and the rest naturally died, with the most deaths in siege battles, followed by Ma Chaochong killed by the enemy camp. After this battle, there are more than 4,000 of 5,000 people in Ma's super army.
As for Wancheng's side, the soldiers defending the city have increased from 5,000 at the beginning to less than 100 at the end of the year, which shows the fierceness of the battle. The yellow scarf was purely put on by Sun Xia with people, and he almost almost captured Wancheng, Ma Chao thought about it and felt that he was very lucky, fortunately, it came in time.
The first thing after that was naturally to deal with the aftermath was to appease the relatives of the soldiers who died in the city and give them a sum of money.
Then, because there were less than 100 soldiers guarding the city, they had to continue to recruit new soldiers to join the defenders of Wancheng. This Ma Chao handed it over to Chen Zhi to deal with, he believed that there was no problem at all with this little matter to Chen Zhi, he felt that it was actually a bit overkill. It's not just the defenders of Wancheng, but he also recruited hundreds of people on his side, and he made up enough of 5,000, Ma Chao felt that these were enough, this is the family background for him to fight the Yellow Turban again in the future.
The recruitment of the guards of Wancheng, plus the remaining less than 100 people, made a total of 3,000. With Qin Jie's idea that the more the better, he only recruited 2,000 people before, plus what Ma Chao left at that time, a total of 5,000 people. And after the battle with Sun Xia, Qin Jie felt that he had suffered a big loss in terms of numbers, if there were 50,000 people in Wancheng, then he would have destroyed Sun Xia a long time ago.
In the case of Wancheng, the burden of recruiting 50,000 is not small, and if the supply can't keep up, it will be bad. However, if you say one or two thousand, there is really no problem, but Ma Chao still said it to Qin Jie with the words that he often said, "It is not unreasonable for Taishou to think, but the ancients have a cloud, 'soldiers are fine but not many', the Yellow Turban Army is known as a million, but now it has not been defeated by us!" ”
Qin Jie didn't understand, he saw him smile and said: "What Meng Qi said is good, and now that all military and political affairs have been handed over to Meng Qi, then I naturally have no opinion!" I only hope that Meng Qi can train them well, and I will leave it all to you! ”
"Everything is super self-deserved, do your best, and rest assured!"
And after the soldiers are recruited, what Ma Chao must do every day is to train the soldiers, and he will train them personally, Qin Jie sees it in his eyes, it seems that it is right to hand these over to Ma Chao, and he can't train anything.
