Chapter 0897: The Bane of Xiliang's Internal Strife

The corners of Yue Fei's mouth suddenly set off a slight mockery. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info Then he laughed, laughing heartily, leaning back with laughter.

Yue Fei pointed at Ma Chao, laughed and said to Huang Zhong and the others, "Did you hear that? This kid actually compares with the lord and the Hu people's achievements, and compares the contribution to the Han with the lord? Doesn't he know that when the rebellions of Lao Tzu and Han Sui were still in the Xiliang rebellion, we had already followed the lord to conquer the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo foreign races? When his Lao Tzu and Han Sui's rebels were leading their troops to threaten Gyeonggi, were we following the lord to fight the Xianbei people in the desert? ā€

Ma Chao glared at Yue Fei angrily, and the murderous aura in his eyes almost tore Yue Fei to pieces.

Huang Zhong, Yang Feng, Han Xian and other generals in Northern Xinjiang looked cold and sat there silent.

"I don't know what is dead or alive, I think that if I pick up a bargain, I can fight against Hebei......" Yue Fei pointed out of the tent and laughed breathlessly, "I think that with the power of Guanzhong, I can join forces with Yuan Shao to fight against the Northern Xinjiang army, haha...... He's really old and confused, he can even think of such a shoddy trick, haha......"

Yue Fei approached Ma Chao and patted Ma Chao's chest hard, "Let me tell you, even if we can't take Guanzhong, we can still capture Luoyang, haha...... Isn't it just a Luoyang fight, it's not a matter of effort. ā€

"You go back." Yue Fei wiped the tears from his laughter and waved his hand at Ma Chao, "Han Sui is old, he needs time to think about it." When he figured it out, we'll talk. ā€

………………

Guanzhong, Xinfeng City.

Ma Chao reported Han Sui's trip to Hedong in detail, and finally said: "Although Yue Fei did not explicitly say that he would give up crossing the Yellow River westward, judging from the meaning of his words, he had already estimated that we would join forces with Yuan Shao to fight against Hebei. Therefore, he may play Jicheng as quickly as possible, and persuade the Jicheng court to abandon the strategy of crossing the river to attack Guanzhong before the Yellow River freezes, so as to avoid risks and preserve strength, and try to unite with the cavalry outside the Saiwai to carry out a two-way flanking attack after next spring. ā€

Han Sui nodded again and again, deeply agreeing with Ma Chao's analysis, and he asked: "Do you think that in the current situation, in order to quickly take Luoyang, the Northern Xinjiang Army will concentrate the main force to attack Guanzhong, or concentrate the main force to fight in the Central Plains?" ā€

Ma Chao hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "Uncle, in the long run, of course, the Northern Frontier Army will concentrate on attacking Guanzhong. Taking Guanzhong can help Hebei solve many complex problems, including the problem of Xiliang. Although Hebei will pay a great price for this in the short term, the Northern Xinjiang Army will be able to gain huge benefits from it in the future, which can greatly shorten the time for them to pacify the world. ā€

Han Sui smiled, patted Ma Chao's shoulder very happily, and said with satisfaction: "Meng Qi, you have really grown up. In the past few years, although you have experienced a lot of pain, these pains have also benefited you a lot and made you gradually mature. In the future, Xijiang will be your world. ā€

Ma Qi's smile froze, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't say that, I ......"

"Meng Qi, when I stabilize the pass, and when the three-legged momentum gradually takes shape, I will hand over the western frontier to you." Han Sui said solemnly, "I'm old and will die at any time, but Western Xinjiang can't do without a strong commander." You are the future commander of Western Xinjiang. ā€

Ma Chao's blood boiled at this moment, the sudden surprise made him unable to control his emotions, and the tears of emotion blurred his eyes instantly, and he choked up and said, "Uncle......"

"Don't let me down." Han Sui picked up a volume of documents from the desk and handed it to Ma Chao, "Come to the book every time, you are willing to talk to us." You go to Zheng County and discuss the alliance with Feng Ji in detail. ā€

Ma Chao took the book, turned over and bowed.

"Meng Qi, if you want to stabilize the western frontier and dominate the world, you still lack two things." Han Sui waved his hand and motioned for him to stand up, "The first is patience. The second is perseverance. If you can do these two things, you will one day make great achievements for the Han Dynasty and make a name for yourself. ā€

Ma was grateful and bowed down to be taught.

Han Yi walked into the military tent angrily.

Yan Xingzheng was sitting behind the desk and looking through the scrolls, and when he saw Han Yitieqing's face, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Ziwei, what's wrong?" ā€

"Father wants to hand over Xijiang to Ma Chao, to that shameless Qianghu, to that ruthless and unrighteous rebel." Han Yi slammed the scroll in his hand to the ground, "He didn't believe in his own son, he actually believed in a Qiang Hu who slashed him with a knife." ā€

Yan Xing was taken aback, hurriedly stood up and rushed to the door of the military tent, signaling the guards outside the tent to spread out and not let people approach.

"Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on?" Yan Xing leaned over and picked up the scroll on the ground, and asked suspiciously, "Who told you this?" ā€

"I heard it with my own ears." Han Yi said angrily, "I went to deliver documents to my father just now, and I heard it outside the big tent, and I didn't miss a word. Father said that he would hand over the western frontier to Ma Chao. Ma Chao is the future commander of Western Xinjiang. ā€

Yan Xing looked at Han Yi and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you heard correctly?" ā€

"Yanming, I'...... Do I have a problem with my ears? Han Yi pointed to his ear angrily and said, "Father, he's actually ......."

Yan Xing was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Father may have other thoughts, you'd better ask." The stakes are very high, and once we misunderstand our father's meaning and delay his father's important affairs, we are guilty of an unforgivable sin. ā€

"What do I have to ask if I hear it with my own ears? Did you ask me to question my father, why did you hand over Xijiang to Ma Chao and not to me? Can this be asked? Han Yi trembled with anger.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let me think about it." Yan Xing comforted him a few words, and the mystery in his heart grew bigger and bigger. How could my father hand over Xijiang to Ma Chao? Could it be that he wants to clear the way for Ziwei?

In Luoyang, Liu Bei led the army to withdraw across the Yellow River and entered Luoyang City with an extremely depressed mood.

Yuan Shao gave him a detailed description of the current situation.

Han Sui occupied Guanzhong, and under the watchful eye of the Northeast Frontier Army of Hebei, Yuan Tan and Zhang Ji could only withdraw to the line of Huayin and Tongguan, and negotiate peace with Han Sui, in order to join forces against the Northern Frontier Army. Although the loss of Guanzhong greatly damaged Luoyang's strength, it added a force to the coalition forces to Hebei. If the coalition forces can skillfully use Han Sui's strength in the future to form a long-term confrontation with Hebei, it will bring a precious period of time for the coalition forces to recuperate. ā€

"Liu Biao has returned to Jingzhou. The latest news is that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took advantage of their superiority in strength to defeat Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu. Huang Zu and his son Huang Shot were killed in battle, and the Jingzhou army suffered heavy losses. At present, Liu Biao has negotiated peace with Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, who has gathered people to rebel, and is gathering troops to prepare for a counteroffensive. Liu Biao's counteroffensive was relatively difficult, so I wrote to Cao Cao in Xuzhou and Yan Xiang in Jiujiang County three times and twice to cross the river from Guangling and Jiujiang to attack Jiangdong as soon as possible, and force Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to withdraw their troops. ā€

Cao Cao replied that Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had led their troops south to Guangling and would soon attack Wu County. Yan Xiang replied that Jiujiang and Lujiang counties are now in chaos, especially after Yuan Yao returned, he gathered the rogues in the Jianghuai area, such as Zheng Bao and others, to raise an army of nearly 10,000 people, and fought a few battles with Li Shu, Yuan Yin and others. At present, it has helped Yan Xiang basically control the entire territory of Jiujiang County. As soon as Li Shu was driven out of Hefei, they crossed the river from the direction of Liyang to attack Jiangdong. ā€

"Xuande, the current situation in Xuzhou is not good. Yanzhou's Northern Xinjiang Army, Qingzhou's Zang Ba, and Jiangdong's Sun Ce are all likely to use troops against Xuzhou, and your army was almost lost in this battle, so ......" Yuan Shao looked at Liu Bei with an expressionless face and said slowly, "I want you to go to Yuzhou to serve as the assassin and lead the Taishou of Runan County, I don't know if you want to?" ā€

In Chang'an, Huangfu Li, the special envoy of the Jicheng Imperial Court, rushed to Chang'an with a holy decree.

In the holy decree, the Son of Heaven greatly praised Han Sui's contribution to the recovery of Guanzhong, and was promoted to the rank of knight. Han Sui accepted the holy decree very calmly, and then feasted Huangfu Li in the mansion and asked about the situation in Jicheng.

After the banquet was dispersed, Han Sui invited Huangfu Li to the study for a detailed discussion.

"Wenyue, this is a handwritten letter from the general to you." Huangfu Li took out a piece of white silk from his bosom and handed it to Han Sui respectfully, "The general hopes to get your reply." ā€

"What? You're going back to Jicheng soon? Han Sui took Jicheng's letter and asked in surprise, "These are all your old friends here, you should stay and spend some time together." ā€

"The imperial court is migrating a large number of people to Qingdao and Yanzhou, and the official business is very busy, how dare I delay too much time here?" Huangfu Li said with a smile, "When the spring comes, when we fight Luoyang together, I will come back to meet Wen Yue." ā€

Han Sui smiled and opened Li Yi's letter in front of Huangfu Li.

Li Yi made a brief analysis of the situation in the world after the Great War in the Central Plains, explained the many methods of the imperial court to stabilize and develop the western frontier, and finally implored Han Sui to put the society first, believe in the determination of the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess and the imperial court to fight to the death for the Zhongxing Han, and asked him to be consistent with the imperial court, join hands to fight against Yuan Shao and other rebellions, and make great contributions to the early pacification of the world and the revitalization of the Han Dynasty.

"The general wants me to fight Luoyang with him?" Han Sui put down the letter, looked up at Huangfu Li and asked.

"We all know Wenyo's worries. Ma Chao also told General Yue Fei the meaning of the Wenyue in Pubanjin, and the Son of Heaven and the imperial court admired and understood the Wenyue very much, and thanked Wenyue for everything that Xiliang had done, so he ......" Huangfu Li paused slightly, and then said in a solemn tone, "The Son of Heaven and the imperial court have issued an order to Zhang Liao, the general of Anbei, and Gao Changgong, the general of Zhengbei, ordering them to immediately lead the third and fifth armies of the Northern Cavalry to the west of Liangzhou and prepare to guard against the Qiang. ā€

Han Sui was shocked, and his face suddenly showed anger. (To be continued.) )
