Chapter Forty-Six: The Frivolous Vassal King

Yuan Shu still fell under Ma Yue's knife, his head was sprinkled with fire ashes and put in a box, and his body was also collected, and he followed Ma Yue all the way to Hongnong County.

Now that Yuan Shu and Liu Yan's troops have arrived here, I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng's troops are also about to arrive. He wanted to rush to Hongnong before the two, gather their troops, and form an army of more than 10,000 before entering Luoyang.

When Zhou Cang supervised the 30,000 troops and arrived at the foot of Bears Ears Mountain, he could only see dark red everywhere, telling him about the tragedy of that war.

The broken spears that were discarded at will, the uneven level of the shallow land buried endless stumps and broken arms, and the blood-stained Nanyang military uniform cut countless tears, fluttering weakly with the west wind.

Zhou Cang's army came here to turn this place into a hideous battlefield, not an empty mass grave.

"Qu Shuai, there were three soldiers and horses fighting here." A veteran Yellow Turban remnant had explored all traces of the battlefield, leaned over to Zhou Cang, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "At first, it should have been two armies of soldiers and horses camping in the north and south, facing each other. Then a heavy cavalry appeared on the hillside, and the horse's hooves were marked by half an inch, and the knights were very heavy, and each of them weighed a thousand pounds. ”

The old man of the yellow turban pointed to the hillside, constantly comparing the depth of the horseshoe prints for Zhou Cang, and then pointed to the battlefield under his feet and said: "That should be the cavalry of Ma Liangzhou, rolling down from the hillside, crushing the right flank of the southern camp, a light cavalry swept the formation, leaving a thousand steps of charging in the center of the battlefield, the right flank of the southern army formation was defeated, and the northern army was charged at this time, defeating the left flank of the southern army formation. ”

Zhou Cang nodded lightly and motioned for the old man to continue. He had no doubts about the description of the old pawn, this was his confidant and a well-known scout among the millions of Black Mountain, and the trail was the crown of Montenegro.

The old man of the Yellow Turban continued: "After that, the heavy cavalry marched all the way to the northwest, and the northern army pulled out the camp and ran to the southwest, probably because Liu Yan's Yizhou army withdrew from the king of Qin. The southern army fled to the south by more than 1,000 people, most likely Yuan Shu's army from Nanyang, who broke up in a panic, and Ma Liangzhou did not pursue...... Qu Shuai, I'm afraid Yuan Shu has been captured. ”

The corners of Zhou Cang's mouth hooked, a horse Yue, less than 5,000 soldiers and horses against Montenegro, and won hundreds of miles in a row, Zhou Cang was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. But for now, his bad breath is gone...... The five thousand cavalry disabled Yuan Shu and defeated Liu Yan, and suddenly reduced two opponents in King Qin's army, wouldn't this be of great benefit to the Montenegrin army?

Zhou Cang raised his hand and said: "Ordered someone to report to General Zhang quickly, and said that the army of King Qin was infighting, and the armies of Yizhou and Nanyang clashed with Sizhou Ma Yue and had gone back." Let the general mainly defend against the enemy from the east. Tell the general that Zhou Cang will lead the army to garrison the three passes of Yique, Yuyuan, and Taigu, and ask the general to strictly defend the area of Michi and Gucheng to prevent the sneak attack of the Mayue overseers. ”

But after a meal, the 30,000 Montenegrin army returned to the defense again. Zhou Cang understood that it was difficult to ride a tiger at this point in the war, either break through Luoyang and kill the Yuan family, and then report to His Majesty; Either withdraw from Luoyang and have a glimmer of hope to retreat. But even if you get out of the way, it will be difficult to continue to live well in the future.

In fact, what the Montenegrin military wants now is no longer a matter of life and death.

They just wanted to fight with Yuan's son before they died. I want him to know that the wrath of the common people can also shed millions of blood, and it can also make the nobles lie in wait for corpses.

Even though they are just common people.

……

Out of Liangzhou in January, he successively broke through the two passes of Luhun and Yuyuan, turned to fight for 100 miles, cut thousands of Montenegro, broke 5,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang, and scared off 5,000 troops in Yizhou.

As soon as Ma Yue's battle began, he made brilliant achievements.

It's a pity that the Yizhou army was scared away, and Yuan Shu's head was packed in a small box...... I'm afraid that no one in this world will dare to give him credit.

The rule of the Son of Heaven is getting weaker and weaker, and Ma feels this more and more clearly. Ten years ago, who would dare to kill the fourth and third dukes? Ten years ago, who would dare to confront King Qin's Han clan in the middle of the road? Ten years ago, who could not have Luoyang?

Oh yes, Zhang Jiao can.

No matter what you say, Ma Yue doesn't care if he shows his merit or not, since the death of the first emperor Liu Hong, no one in this world can control him Ma Yue.

No matter what status, status, number of soldiers, or position...... No one can control him.

The etiquette system could not affect him, and the entire Liangzhou was completely different from this era by his reform from military to political, and now the wind of reform is blowing to Sanfu.

Morality can't restrain him, and the generals, the Han clansmen, and the four and three princes are all hated under his sword.

Ma Yue knew that although he was widely known in the places under his rule, he understood more deeply that in the entire eastern part of the empire, the old men and scholars were eager to point at his backbone in person.

But what does it matter?

He doesn't want to rule the whole country, he doesn't want to be the emperor, as long as half the world's heart is to him, as long as his heart is to the emperor, isn't this enough?

When Ma Yue stood in front of the Hongnong Palace, he took a deep breath, calmly withdrew his soldiers and horses, tied his mount to the door, and climbed the steps with his scratched skull.

This is the residence of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong.

is the Liu Wei who should have ascended to the throne, but was dragged by his own hands to the status of the vassal king.

"In the dismount Yue, the garrison Hongnong came to meet the king of Hongnong, and he was tired of reporting." Ma Yue stood at the foot of the steps with his helmet in his arms, and the two gatekeepers in front of the gate were already frightened...... A hundred paces behind Ma Yue was already full of armored cavalry with heavy armor and crossbow and battle axes.

In the entire Hongnong, there is no one who doesn't know who Ma Yue is.

That was the person who personally dragged the emperor's eldest son off the throne, and that was when Yi Yin Huoguang didn't make such a fool of himself when the Son of Heaven didn't make mistakes...... At this time, I don't care about the name behind me!

Needless to say, as soon as he rode into the Hongnong realm in Liangzhou, the entire palace was fried. However, Liu Bian's temperament was very good, and he ordered the people to open the mansion and the army, and all the food and clothing of the Liangzhou army in Hongnong County were all taken care of by the Hongnong Palace, so there was no need to disturb the people.

The servants of the palace did not let Ma Yue wait for a long time, and after entering the mansion, he came out and bowed his head to Ma Yue and said, "General Fuguo, please come in, the king is waiting for you in the mansion." ”

Ma Yue nodded in response, personally took off his weapons and heavy armor in front of the mansion, and boarded the mansion wearing only a black and red Liangzhou military uniform.

"The ministers get off Ma Yue and meet the king." Ma Yue walked leisurely in the courtyard, walking not slowly or fast, while observing the scenery in the palace, but also looking at the soldiers in the palace. I have to say that if he was born in the peaceful era, whether it was Liu Wei or Liu Xie, they might both be virtuous monarchs, at least a generation of Anle emperors. Or Liu Hong can live for 20 more years, and he can save the Han Dynasty when the building is about to collapse.

Pity.

This palace is completely in accordance with the etiquette system, and the family soldiers even have ordinary swords to protect themselves, and there is not a single bow and crossbow. There are only more than ten family soldiers. Although there are some dogs, it is not out of line for Liu Wei, who grew up in the market. It can be said without hesitation that this Liu Wei is a virtuous king.

Liu Wei did not take the lead, but ordered people to put down two cases in the middle of the hall, one left and one right, King Hongnong, dressed in fine clothes, retreated to the right, leaving the left side to Ma Yue, and when he saw him come in, he raised his hand without sadness or joy and said: "The general is exempt, please take a seat." ”

Ma Yue nodded, took off his shoes and sat opposite Liu Wei, and then he bowed his hand again and said, "Your Majesty, thank you to the king for preparing grain and grass for the army." ”

"Okay, General Ma doesn't need to say those polite words, and this king has not prepared a knife and axe." Liu Wei waved his hand a little lightly, raised one leg and stepped on the futon, leaned forward and asked Ma Yue, "What are you doing this time?" Do you want to get rid of this king? ”

Ma Yue looked up in astonishment, he had no contact with Liu Wei of the East Palace before, but he didn't want to act frivolously, but it gave people a very simple feeling, which did not make Ma Yue bored, he raised his head and asked with a smile: "The king hates me, the minister guarded His Majesty to the throne back then, and cut off your ten thousand journeys." ”

"The throne is given to the younger brother, and the king doesn't care." Liu Wei's face was a little gloomy, and he pointed at Ma Yue and asked: "But why did you want to depose the queen mother, how many years, my mother and son can't get together, it's all because of you!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Yue also lowered his head, but he still raised his head and said: "Actually, if I had known that this was the case in the world today, Your Majesty would not have helped His Majesty ascend the throne back then...... Ma should defend you as the emperor, so that His Majesty can live in Liangzhou and be a vassal king, which is better than the pain of today's foreign ministers gaining power. ”

Halfway through speaking, Liu Wei's eyes widened, and he couldn't understand why Ma Yue, who was so firm in assisting Liu Xie, said such things today. When Ma Yue finished speaking, Liu Wei hated Ma Yue even more in his heart, but he was still a little moved.

With his mouth closed, Liu Wei patted a few times, nodded and said to Ma Yue: "Ma Junhao, Ma Junhao." You can, you can, you're really not afraid that this king will do something to you! ”

Ma Yue lowered his head and smiled, shook his head slightly, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty is coming today, you are laying a knife and axe in the mansion, and Your Majesty has also recognized it." ”

"Okay, the words are all said, this king hates you, but this king will not blame you. The assistant brother will be like you, and you can rest assured that you are the elder brother. You're right, today, it's much more comfortable to be a vassal king than the emperor, Jian Shuo is dead, you are in Liangzhou, there are too many credible people in the whole Luoyang, but there is no one who dares to let Brother Xie's high hopes. Liu Xie patted a few cases, put his legs down and asked, "You came to the house today, won't you just tell this king?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to ask the king to come forward to help Your Majesty." Ma Yue arched his hand and said seriously: "Wang Wang can help his subordinates regardless of his previous suspicions, and he also helps His Majesty." ”

"Come and listen, you Meiyang Houma is coming to ask for this king, heh." Liu Wei rolled up his sleeves, this King Hongnong had a frivolous attitude that matched his age, raised his eyes and smiled: "This king doesn't dare to respond easily." ”

"His subordinates waited for their soldiers and horses in Hongnong, hoping to invade Luoyang and sweep away the rebels. At that time, I wanted to ask His Majesty for the king and moved to the king of Jingzhao. After three years and five years, he was changed to the king of Hanyang. Isn't it possible? ”

Liu Wei got up when he heard this, and pointed at Ma Yue in shock, Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, what is Ma Yue's intention to ask him to be the king of Jingzhao?

"Don't worry too much, the king is high and long, and it is too far away from the territory of his subordinates...... And those who are loyal to His Majesty, who are the ones in the world who are more than that? Therefore, His Majesty wanted to ...... in a few years' time Moved the capital. ”
