Chapter 543: Goodbye, Chang'an
A month flies.
After more than two months, Jia Xu transferred all the sailors from Xanadu City, and finally transported the 3 million households in Chang'an, 200,000 Xiliang Tieqi, and Cao Cao's 8 million households and 150 million people who exchanged population for land back to Zhuya.
At noon that day, there was a sudden uproar at the heavily guarded ferry. In the distance, a large fleet of ships slowly drove out of the river. The 300 ships of the Xanadu Sailor were overwhelming, and they arrived here for the last time under the escort of more than 1,000 ships.
Jia Xu and other generals rushed to hear the news and immediately began to arrange for boarding. The last group, with a total population of 2 million, together with hundreds of thousands of sailors and countless grain and grass baggage, filled the fleet to the brim.
When boarding the ship, Jia Xu found Ma Dai and explained a few words in a low voice. The latter understood, and immediately rode his horse away from the ferry and came to Chang'an City.
"Is it really arranged?" When Ma Chao saw Ma Dai coming back, he hurriedly asked.
At this moment, Chang'an City has become the player's world. The most elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the Xiliang Army has been sent to Zhuya, and the remaining ordinary soldiers and horses have also been placed outside the city. If the Tang Dynasty knew that he had been pitted, he really didn't know how to break out of the encirclement from tens of millions of soldiers and horses.
"Little brother doesn't dare to talk nonsense." Ma Dai didn't dare to say anything, and then attached it to Ma Chao's ear and repeated the words of Jia Xu's confession.
Ma Chao thought thoughtfully, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Just follow what the military advisor said, go with me." ”
So the two immediately summoned the high-level leaders of the Datang family such as the Tang Dynasty. When everyone arrived, Ma Chao solemnly hugged his fist to the players such as Datang Tianxia: "Thank you for sending troops to help me fight Cao." ”
The players of the Tang family suddenly perked up, and they were finally about to send troops, and hurriedly smiled and started the scene.
Ma Chao didn't say anything, and said politely after a few words: "Now that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, I have no intention of waiting." Today, I will lead the army to the battle, and I would like to ask the generals to personally lead the army as the Chinese army. ”
When Datang heard this, he was so happy.
Previously, I was worried that Ma Chao was using his players as cannon fodder to fill the Tong Pass. It's a lot of thinking. Ma Chao is more sensible, and took the initiative to take over the work of tackling tough problems, so that he could sit in the Chinese army. If the battle ahead is unfavorable, you can withdraw and dodge.
Isn't it harmless?
"The general's words are wrong, if there is no general in the Chinese army, how can he win against Cao Thief. The last general is willing to lead the army first. Datang Tianxia immediately took the initiative to ask for help. If you don't take advantage of it, it's stupid.
"Needless to say. A certain hatred can't crush the bones of the Cao thief and scatter ashes, but he really doesn't want to fake his hands to others. Ma Chao flatly refused.
"I wish the general success and take the head of the thief with his own hands." Datang accepted it when it saw it, and blessed it with a regretful face.
"Capture Tongguan, and then drink with you." Ma Chao smiled heartily and took Ma Dai away.
Two hours later, outside Chang'an City, Ma Chao and the others were dressed all over, and once again bid farewell to the players in the Tang Dynasty who came out to see them off, and then led an army of 100,000 to the east.
More than 20 miles away from the city, Ma Dai rode from the rear and quickly exchanged glances with Ma Chao. Then the army turned and went straight to the ferry.
When they arrived at the ferry, Jia Xu and other generals were already waiting at the pier. Ma Chao stepped forward to see, then looked back in the direction of Chang'an, and then turned his gaze to the west, his face full of regret.
"What's the use of an enclave?" Jia Xu smiled faintly and took the lead in boarding the ship.
Ma Dai was stunned for a moment, then walked to Ma Chao's side and persuaded in a low voice: "What the military advisor said is true. The lord of the country Zhuya is thousands of miles away from Xiliang. is to stay, how can you stop Cao Cao's old thieves and thousands of soldiers. ”
Ma Chao let out a long sigh, barely squeezed out a smile, and nodded: "How can I not know." However, the cowardice of leaving home made the military advisor see the joke. He came back day by day, and determined that the thief died without a place to be buried. ”
Ma Dai nodded heavily.
The brothers then boarded the ship. When all the staff boarded the boat, the Xanadu sailor immediately pulled out, went down the river, and went straight to the mouth of the Yellow River.
Three days later, Jia Xu and other generals were talking and laughing, and by the way, they comforted the two Ma Chao brothers. At this time, a small colonel suddenly came into the cabin to report that there was a large group of soldiers and horses on the shore.
"Presumably, the prime minister learned that we were waiting for the return trip and came to see us off. Would you like to follow a certain view? Jia Xu smiled faintly, got up and invited the generals to go out to see the excitement.
Not surprisingly, the two Ma Chao brothers refused to meet Cao Cao on such an occasion, so they stayed in the cabin. Jia Xu didn't persuade either, and took Zhao Yun and other generals out of the cabin and climbed to the top.
"The prince is here?" Cao Cao's eyes were good, and when he saw Jia Xu and other generals coming out from a distance, he laughed loudly.
The corners of Jia Xu's mouth hooked an arc, signaling to move the Qiankun Lou boat closer, and then said loudly: "There is Prime Minister Lao to see him off, my lord smiled and had a bad relationship with the prime minister for the sake of fighting the beauty, and he felt guilty and embarrassed, and he had no shame to meet the prime minister." If he has the opportunity one day, the lord will make amends to the prime minister. ”
When the words fell, Zhao Yun and the others all looked sideways. Is that really good? You must not be talking about the lord, right?
Cao Cao didn't doubt that he had him, but this time he finally got back a city, and laughed heartily: "How dare you ask the prince to make amends." If he has a chance to see the prince again, he will definitely drink with the prince for three days. ”
"Prime Minister stay, I'll wait!" Jia Xu gave it away.
"Have a nice trip!"
Cao Cao waved enthusiastically and smiled from ear to ear. The musicians who had already prepared behind him immediately played the farewell song. The misty fairy sound hovered over the river, and for a long time, it sent off the paradise sailor slowly, and finally turned into a few black spots on the horizon.
After sending away the Xanadu Water Master, Cao Cao laughed loudly, and he was so happy. King Zhuya has gone, who dares to obstruct Lao Tzu from recovering Xiliang.
"Pass my general order, and in three days, the troops will be sent to Chang'an!"
……
On the Qiankun Building boat, Jia Xu turned around and exchanged glances with Zhao Yun and other generals, and laughed heartily. Putting aside the lies that were disrespectful to Lu Yao just now, this time is the most satisfying ending.
A piece of Xiliang enclave is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. However, Xiliang was exchanged for 11 million households, with a total population of 300 million, and Ma Chao, Ma Dai, two generals, Yang Qiu and other seven third-rate famous generals, as well as 200,000 Xiliang iron cavalry and 100,000 battle-hardened elite soldiers, not only is it a good deal, it is simply a big profit.
The only pity is that the time is too short, and he failed to scavenge Xiliang. Of course, this is Jia Xu's idea. Zhao Yun and the others are honest and not so black-hearted.
Back in the cabin, Jia Xu saw that the two Ma Chao brothers were drinking with their heads bored, and smiled faintly: "The two little generals are not angry with us for making peace with Cao Cao?" ”
"Don't dare." Ma Chao's tone was very blunt, and his mood was all written on his face.
Jia Xu didn't mind, and sat down opposite Ma Chao by himself, twisting his beard and saying with a smile: "It's not a secret, even if it is the lord's own person, it's the same." ”
Ma Chao suddenly became bruised. If you knew this was the case, why did you surrender?
Jia Xu shook his head and poured himself a drink: "The time has not come, why destroy Cao?" ”
