Unexpectedly, Ma Yue did not encounter Han Sui's soldiers and horses along the way, and the defenders who showed their relatives came to report that there were indeed traces of Han Sui's soldiers and horses a few days ago, and even clashed with the scouts outside the city, but when the rest of Ma Yue went north, it seemed to disappear out of thin air and was never seen again.

The entire road to the north is smooth beyond Ma Yue's imagination. It is as if Hanyang has never experienced war, except for ...... The uninterrupted carriages and horses outside Longxian County transported heavy war profits to Zhangjiachuan one by one.

Han Sui ...... Defeated? ”

Although Ma Yue felt incredulous in his heart, could there be any other reason for this scene?

Sure enough, when Ma Yue rushed to the state pastor's mansion, Jia Xu, who came with someone who heard the news, looked at Jia Xu playing with Ma with a smile on his face, and Ma Yue hurriedly asked what was going on. After some rhetoric, he figured out the ins and outs of all this.

It turned out that Jia Xu and Ma Wan were under house arrest in Han Sui's military tent that day, and seeing that the leaders of the tribes were furious because of the ownership of the land, Jia Xu was keenly aware of the difference between Han Sui's leadership of the leaders of the tribes and Ma Yue's leadership of the generals of Zhangjiachuan, so Jia Xu decided to take the risk of flirting with his ambition to cure Wudai, and provoke his relationship with Han Sui, in order to defect in the war.

In the brief intersection of the side rooms, Jia Xu lured Zhi Wudai with profit, said that Wuwei's Zuli and Jingyuan belonged to the two counties, and said that Han Sui was likely to collapse, and when he wanted to retaliate against Zhi Wudai, Ma Yue would also send troops. This statement successfully caused Zhi Wudai to defect in the war, and defeated Li Xiangru's troops in one fell swoop, resulting in more than 4,000 iron-armored archers under the command of Han Sui being trapped in the Ma Teng array, and suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that in this battle between Han, Ma and Song, no one is the real winner on the surface, and all three parties are seriously injured. But anyone with a discerning eye understands that Ma Yue's loss is the smallest, but the territory under his jurisdiction now is the largest.

Although Liangzhou has an independent ruler in charge of Wuwei County, Ma Yue doesn't care. The art of war is cloudy: double and divide. Zhi Wudai was originally a subordinate of Han Sui, and now he has become an independent prince of Liangzhou, but under the current situation, he is afraid that Han Sui will be more than Ma Yue, and Han Sui will declare war on the east of the army in the future, but he will have to weigh more.

"It seems that Wenhe and the monkey, this is the truth in tribulation? A feud between the two of you? Ma Yue cautiously took advantage of Jia Xu's upswing and said: "It's better to shake hands and make peace, the old accounts of the year are all right and wrong, so they will be written off, what do you say?" ”

Suddenly hearing Ma Yue mention this, a smile froze on Jia Xu's face, his brows slowly furrowed, and after looking at Ma Yue, he slowly stretched out, shook his head and said, "That's it, that's it." Since the envoy said so, what should he say next? ”

Ma Yue heard that Jia Xu's words were still a little unwilling, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said to Ma Yue: "Brother Monkey, don't you admit your mistake to Wen He." ”

"Actually, I don't want to mention it, and I want to apologize to Mr." Ma Play is not a fool, an old man like Jia Xu who is scheming and calculating, and can rebel against a leader to win a big victory in a few words, Ma Play is absolutely unwilling to be an enemy of him. Although he still feels that he didn't do anything wrong in burning Yan Shi Wu back then, he also feels that for the sake of his life, it is also very right for him to apologize to Jia Xu now. At that moment, he bowed down and said: "Mr. Wangwenhe does not remember the villain, don't blame the mistakes made in the next year, I am willing to rebuild the tomb for the respected teacher, and worship in order to rest in the spirit of the sky." ”

Jia Xu saw that Ma Play was such a young man who could still scold and scold Han Sui in the face of tens of thousands of rebels, and Lao Ge lowered his proud head at this time, and there was a lot of respect in his words, and finally nodded and helped Ma Play up.

Seeing this, Ma Yue said with a smile: "It's really a great pleasure for the two of you to shake hands and let go of the grudges of the past!" Come on, come on, sit down and let's talk. ”

The three of them sat in the hall, and Ma Yue asked, "What about my brother, and the generals in Sichuan, where have they all gone now?" ”

"General Ma led the generals to the west, chasing Han Sui to Yuzhong, and now is garrisoning fortification in Yuzhong, and it is estimated that there will be letters back in a few days. At this point, you have recovered the entire territory of Hanyang County. Jia Xu smiled flatteringly, and then changed his words and said: "But the envoy, in the previous battle in Xiaguanzhou County, the use of spear shafts is superior, but the iron spearhead is extremely brittle and easy to break, should you inform Liu Bad?" ”

"Well, Sichuan can't make good iron, this is also someone's heart, tomorrow, tomorrow I will personally go to the Sichuan Iron Smelting Division to talk to Liu Bad about how to improve, and in a few days Ji County will send some hand crossbows, and then let the craftsmen see, if we can make our own crossbows...... Fuck, cheer up! ”

"Huh." Jia Xu didn't seem surprised when he heard Ma Yue scolding his mother, he just smiled, and then took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and looked at it and said: "Envoy, the battle profits of this battle have not yet been delivered, and the battle reports of the troops fighting from all walks of life have not yet been delivered. There are also the harvest of the fields west of Luoyang County are harvested by the Jincheng departments, the grain and grass in Sichuan are consumed a lot by the army, the winter is coming, the winter clothes in the treasury are insufficient, and the grain is not enough, but I am afraid that this year's winter is not easy to regenerate and change. Then take advantage of this local conquest, the county and county heard the wind and surrendered a lot of people, the county officials when the sand Tai selection, the merit, in the state and county in the recommendation of a few people, but still need to work hard to make Jun personally write a letter to requisition, in order to show your thirst for talent. ”

"Wait, wait, come one by one, don't worry about rewards and punishments, wait for the battle report to be summarized and you will give it to me, and then we will work it out together." Jia Xu said many problems in the state and county at once, as if throwing off the burden, Ma Yue, who was full of joy of victory, was confused, so he had to take the book from Jia Xu's hand and read it one by one, and said: "There should still be some money in the state and county, and other things can be put first, if the people in the five counties north of Luoyang do not have enough food...... If the county money is not enough, they will come to me to get it, and I have not carefully counted the things that will be given at the wedding, and I should be able to exchange some money. ”

"And then there'...... Wenhe, do you want to recommend talents for me? Seeing that it was a recruitment, Ma Yue had the spirit and asked, "You tell me first, who are they?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Yang Fu Zhao Ang, a native of Luoyang, Hanyang, used to work for Liangzhou. Jiang Xu, Jiang Yin brothers of Hanyang Ji County, Zhang Gong of Dunhuang, nephews of Wuliang clan of Anding, Shuang, Kuan, Qian, Xu, etc., so that you can choose the best to use them. ”

"Yang Ang, Jiang Xu, Zhao Ang, I know, I don't have any opinion on the remaining few, but those four beams, but they are all my husband's nephews?" These people have no objection to choosing Ma Yue, and they basically know that they have some talents to learn from the previous few people. It's just that the four Liang disciples in the back make Ma Yue feel a little unmotivated, if he is really talented, why doesn't Liang Hu directly recommend it to himself? Is it Jia Xu's turn to say?

Jia Xu arched his hand and smiled: "The four beams have courage, and they also read poetry and books, although they are not talented, they can be used for a small time." ”

"That's okay, you can decide this matter, you can write the book, and find me to seal the letter when you finish writing." Ma Yue waved his hand, he didn't attach much importance to the courage of the four beams in Jia Xu's mouth, how brave can he be? Most of them are inferior to Ma Wan, Cheng Yin and others, and they are still considered to be high in the army as military marquis, but they are more or less from the Lianghu tribe and can be used as county lieutenants. Ma Yue continued: "But Wenhe, I do have something to do here. ”

"Oh?" Jia Xu lowered his hand and said, "Please speak." ”

"Write an essay for me, write about Song Jian, the king of the Han Dynasty in Heshou, and I will tell the world." Ma Yue rubbed his nose, thought for a while and said: "Take him as a thief, this text is to be written to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and it should praise those two brothers more." The two of them are so happy, say more disgusting things like 'Yuan Gongwei plus the sea, fight and beg for appeasement', it is best to write on it that I Ma Yue is happy and convinced of them, and then one point is to highlight the Liangzhou Han army has no soldiers to fight, Song Jianba occupies Wudu, Longxi two counties are the king and hegemon, to take advantage of this Han army to rebel and ask it to break up the pass into Liang, Ma Yue can personally lead the cavalry and the rear of the enemy army to attack. ”

Jia Xu nodded in agreement, and Ma Yue added, "Don't forget to write more disgusting words, and praise the brothers like immortals!" ”

"No, envoy, you have an enmity with the Yuan family...... Isn't that too spineless? Ma Yu scratched his head incomprehensibly, and was afraid that what he said would anger Ma Yue, so he muttered, "It's too much for them." ”

"Cut." Ma Yue smiled disdainfully and said, "Backbone? The backbone grows in himself, how can he say it. Besides, if you don't have the strength, what can you do to protect your backbone? That's 20,000 Han troops! ”

"What I want is that the Yuan clan thinks I am spineless, only then will they be willing to march from Sanguan and defeat Song Jian in one fell swoop." Ma Yue shook his head, if it weren't for the lack of soldiers and horses in his own house, who would want to write such a disgusting essay, he said: "Let Yuan Highway go to me as a pioneer to fight Song Jian, I don't have the strength to fight Song Jian, by the way, Wen He, after writing the text, I will order Ma to tell the world, and then when my brother comes back, we will have to recruit as many as we can!" ”

"San Lang, we can't afford to raise soldiers even if we are recruited, and besides, aren't we going to fight Song Jian." Ma Yu asked, "Do you really want to do something?" ”

Seeing that Ma Yu was unhappy, Ma Yue said: "From the attack on a fart, let's lead the troops to garrison Didao first." When Yuan Highway enters along Chencang Road, it is estimated that Song Jian will also be beaten to pieces, and our manpower will fully take over Wudu County! ”

"Haha, Brother Wenhe, then you're busy!" Ma Yu arched his hands and smiled sarcastically, there are so many things at once, can Jia Xu not be busy?

Before the horse was finished, he heard Ma Yue turn to him with a wicked smile and said, "Don't be busy and happy, you can't be idle, run for me to look at Longxi, and meet Pang De." ”
