Chapter Eighty-Three: The Mighty Country
An Min's plan has been decided, Ma Yue hurriedly ran back to the back house of the mansion to stay with Cai Yan for a short time, and then hurriedly collected the carriages and horses with Ma Teng again, and set the manpower to go to the counties, but was told by Jia Xu that it was better for Ma Yue to go to Ji County in person.
Ma Yue didn't quite understand this, he thought that he should go to Pingxiang County west of Chengji, although that place is a small county but located in a confidential military town, has always been used as the main road for the transportation of military grain in Liangzhou, once the county seat is taken, the west according to Han Sui can be the vanguard fortress, and the south can be used as a rear transportation artery to support Xixian, which can be attacked and defended.
Jia Xu squinted his eyes and smiled, and his beard was curled, which made Ma Yue think of the fox who sneaked into the farmhouse to bite the chickens to death, so he heard him say: "Although Pingxiang is heavy, it is only according to Han Sui, but dare to ask the envoy, can we beat Han Sui?" ”
That's Han Sui, who 100,000 cool riders under his command died for!
Without waiting for Ma Yue to answer, everyone knew the answer, Jia Xu even knew, and said: "If you can't beat him, we won't beat him, whether he wants food or money, let Jun give it to him, besides, let Jun give the grain, grass and money to the people to fight for a good reputation of loving the people like a son, and can block Han Sui's mouth that will be wide open." Liangzhou's current enemy is Song Jian, who rebelled and became king! In this way, please make you look here, Ji County is close to the mountains in the west, West County in the east, and the horns of the two counties are looking forward, if our troops are stationed in the two counties, the enemy army will throw a mouse taboo, it is difficult to attack, and it is difficult to encircle. ”
"Therefore, the subordinates thought that the king should go to Ji County and regain the hearts of the people!"
Ma Yue was noncommittal about this, he had already agreed with Jia Xu's statement in his heart, but he was faintly uneasy about it.
Since Jia Xu entered the staff office, he has never taken the initiative to mention his grudge against Ma Play, but has tried his best to plan for him everywhere, which makes Ma Yue always have a grudge against him. What's more, Jia Xu's strategy, although it seems harmless at first glance, after thinking about it carefully, he is a little too relieved for Han Sui. Wouldn't Han Sui take the opportunity to attack him? The epicenter of this earthquake is likely to be Longxian, and Han Sui's territory and sphere of influence to the west have not suffered much damage.
The one who guards the west gate for the Han family is a horse play!
If Pingxiang is not won, it means that Han Sui will go south, and horse play will bear the brunt.
Ma Yue lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Jia Xu with a flat face, Jia Xu stood aside with his arms crossed, his face was sad and joyless, just waiting for Ma Yue's answer. Under Jia Xu's calmness, Ma Yue smelled the smell of strategy, this is a yang scheme, throw him a better way, as for how to do it, it depends on his own consideration.
"Okay, Ji County, then Ji County." Ma Yue nodded quietly, and then said to Jia Xu: "But Wenhe, you still have to run for me, since Ma went to Ji County, then Pingxiang will be handed over to Wenhe." ”
Jia Xu smiled, someone in Dong Zhuo's army once laughed and scolded himself for being cunning like a fox behind his back, but now it seems that this Ma Yue is not a little fox?
"No."
Ma Yue waved his hand, didn't say anything more to Jia Xu, Ma Teng's car was ready, a full eighty horses carrying 40,000 catties of food and clothing, under the escort of two hundred knights, all the way south, straight to Ji County.
……
Longxi, the royal city of Caohan.
Once upon a time, it was just a small and unknown town on the northwestern border of the Han Dynasty, and passers-by did not want to stay here for a long time, because it was too poor and miserable. But all this became different in the Xiping period, the rise of the Song family, half of the Song family became the private territory of the Song family, the people of the Song family became rich and powerful, and the Song family under the title of Liangzhou became so logical.
No one could have imagined that the Song brothers, who started by selling horses ten years ago, have now become kings in Liangzhou, and Caohan has become a royal city.
"What kind of king with a different surname attacks the world, the king of my family has been the king for several years, and I haven't seen anyone dare to attack!"
With the ridicule of Han Gaozu's proverbs, the people of Caohan were even more crazy, but they did not forget that everything they have now is based on the rise of the Song family.
In the royal court, the civil and military officials have long been withdrawn, and the lonely palace only sees the servants running, if Ma Yue sees this scene, he will inevitably sneer, such a royal court is not as grand as his own family when he was an official in Luoyang, but for the people of Caohan, this is already extremely glorious, and there is nothing to ask for.
There was a sound of calm footsteps in the dormitory, and a handsome young man with a strong body and high eyebrows and an eagle nose stepped inside, and went straight into the palace without annunciating, and followed the cornices into the sunlight that fell into the room, he saw Song Jian, the king of the Ping Han Dynasty in the head of the river, frowning at a few cases, and there were piles of books like a hill on them, and the young man silently arched his hand and said softly: "Brother, what is the frown?" ”
He is the head of the river, the king of Qi and Han, Song Yang.
"Second brother, take a look, it's from the tent." Song Jian saw that it was Song Yang, smiled helplessly, his smile was full of exhaustion, and he pushed the book in his hand and said, "The Ma family has another lieutenant." ”
Although there is no one in Liangzhou who is not afraid of the king of Heshou Pinghan, but there is only Song Yang, the younger brother who is a few years younger, Song Jian is at his disposal, the early Liangzhou disaster, Song's parents are dead, the family is in the middle of the road, the seven brothers depend on each other to claim the king, but only the two of them enjoy this wealth, and the precious brotherhood has long been better than everything.
Song Yang chuckled twice, grabbed the book and looked at it twice, and then put it down and looked at other books on a few cases, which almost covered all the past of the Liangzhou Ma family from the beginning of Hanyang Lan Ganwei Ma Su to the present, with sharp words and precise pen, writing the rise and fall of the Ma family in the past 20 years. After reading it, Song Yang put down the book, and said with an arrogant look on his face: "It's just a little lieutenant in charge of cars and horses, brother doesn't have to take it seriously, Luoyang mountains and rivers are far away, and he can't use his strength." ”
"To this day, we are not without civil and military officials, and we will return to the horse tent and hand it over to the minister to collect information." Song Yang hooked the corners of his mouth and stroked the cold hilt of the knife on his waist, "Brother doesn't have to do everything himself, that Ma Yue worries his brother, and the younger brother sends a dead soldier to stab him to death." ”
The earliest shelf was the Song family's horse-selling caravan that traveled all over the world, and later gradually joined all kinds of swordsmen and swordsmen after the Qiang people rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and even some down-and-out scribes who lived in Liangzhou, which became Song Jian's most powerful support in five or six years.
"Second brother, did someone teach you this?"
Song Jian's face changed, he could follow Song Yang in everything, but only returning to the horse tent was something that no one could touch.
"Huh?" Song Yang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw his brother Tieqing's face, he hurriedly said, "I just saw that my brother was so busy and said casually, brother, this time the horse tent is so important?" Isn't it just a few pawn peddlers? ”
"You know what?" Song Jian got up and said: "Do you know that the leaders of the more than ten tribes that rebelled against the Han Dynasty back then, regardless of the Han and Qiang people, why did they respect their brothers? Back then, we were just like the kingdom, and we weren't as good as Bian Yun's manpower in terms of manpower, and it wasn't because of the news brought back to the horse tent that we were one step ahead everywhere. Even if the rebels fought later, why did we stay out of the matter, and we didn't go back to the tent! Don't look at Han Sui's soldiers, but he still doesn't dare to point his troops at us, still because of the existence of the back horse tent, as long as the back horse tent is still in hand, before Han Sui's soldiers come, we can join forces with Ma Yue and beat Han Sui back into the Jincheng River Valley! ”
Song Jian's words Song Yang's eyes widened, just a return to the horse tent, a group of pawn dealers are so important in the eyes of his brother, those things are obviously exchanged for the lives of the Caohan brothers, how can they become the credit of those businessmen in the mouth of the elder brother.
Song Yang didn't understand, but he knew that he shouldn't contradict his brother at this time, so he had to ask with a smile: "That brother, what should I do now?" ”
"What to do? Ma Yue, the Liangzhou herdsman and I are not afraid, put Ma Dai into Luoyang as a horse captain do not have to be afraid, Liangzhou moved, Han Sui's Jincheng was shaken to the east gate cracked, Ma Yue's Longxian County was even the southwest corner of the city collapsed, but I Longxi is unique, no casualties, what do they use to fight us? Song Jian's heroic laughter spread far away in the palace, and his arm patted his brother's shoulder, "Do your best in the nineteen Qiang departments of Longxi, give me training." We don't need to do anything, we just stay until the grass is green and yellow, and we can fight with him and Mayue! ”
"That Longxian County is ruined and the people's hearts are unstable, isn't it an opportunity to enter the army? Why did my brother wait until the grass was yellow? ”
"Although Ma Yue is in Luoyang to fold the knife Sun Jian, but it is not fake that he has been unstoppable in the world for several years, who would have thought that the hairy boy who won three consecutive games on the grassland is now a famous general in the world. You can think that now is the time to enter the army, and he can think of it too. At the beginning of the ground movement, he distributed the money and grain in the city to the surrounding counties, collecting the hearts of the people, and now is not the best time to attack" For all the things in Liangzhou, the king of Heshou Pinghan, who controlled the horse tent, was confident, raised two fingers and pointed to the north and said: "He has food and money, let's ask him, second brother, you go and send someone to spread the message, just say that Longxi was affected by the ground movement, and I Song Jian asked him for 100,000 stones, grain and grass and thousands of gold, as for the attack, there is no need to mention it, teach him to think that if you give money, you will not attack." ”
Song Yang's eyes lit up, and he didn't get tired of cheating!
But he didn't know that in Song Jian's eyes, a hero like Ma Yue should not die under the assassin's sharp knife, he wanted to fulfill Ma Yue, live a dignified life, and die a majestic death!
"No, little brother will do it." Song Yang bowed down and was about to leave, when he heard Song Jian stop him, got up and straightened his collar in the first two steps, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "Brother has found a marriage for you, it is the daughter of the Shangguan clan of Hanyang, and it is a great family that has continued to this day in the pre-Qin period." ”
At this time, he was not a king of Pinghan, he was just a kind brother.
"Brother, the marriage is ...... It's all up to my brother. Song Yang didn't care about marriage, he cared more about Song Jian's ambition to dominate Liangzhou, and as for his personal desires, he had long been forgotten. But in this case, the elder brother remembered that this kind of thing was especially touching to him, and he was speechless.
"Brothers join hands, defeat Ma Yue in one fell swoop this year, and drive him out of Liangzhou, my brother will be able to free up his hands to deal with Han Sui, whether it is five years or ten years, sweep away the entire territory of Liangzhou, you and my brother will point to the Central Plains, and fight a mighty country for future generations!"
The ambition to be the king and the glory of Weijiahai, the Song family will be remembered by future generations.
