Chapter 118
"Sun Ce's head, a reward of fifty gold, take it down and seal it with lime sandalwood, and wait for King Liang to return it to Luo, please reward it!"
"Those who get Sun Ce's iron boots will be rewarded with hardware, and the field will be twenty acres!"
"Sun Ce's left arm, ten gold rewards, promotion to the second class!"
"Sun Ce's fingers? That's it, free slavery, ......" Ma Qing stood up, finally couldn't accept such a picture, pulled Mi Zhu over and whispered: "You continue to watch here, just look at the reward, kill Sun Ce, we are not bad for money and other things, and there are more fields, just collect all Sun Ce's iron armor." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Under the heavy protection of King Liang's armored army, Ma Qing passed through the soldiers of the Mi family who were crazy and held up their flesh and blood to ask for merit and reward, led the horse into Huaiyin City, and stood at the head of the city He looked at the messy battlefield and shook his head gently.
After a bloody battle, 30,000 soldiers of the Mi family really defeated General Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, which made these soldiers who were half soldiers and half farmers outside Xiapi City on weekdays dare not believe it, and in order to boost morale before the war, Ma Shizi's regulations for inviting merit and rewarding have become their biggest carnival!
In this local battle, Ma Qing paid more than 1,000 acres of land and hundreds of gold to fill the money bags of these soldiers who fought for him.
This would be the first step for the remaining 20,000 soldiers to turn their allegiance to Ma Qing's soldiers, and he wanted them to give them more under his command than the Mi clan had ever been.
He is Ma Qing, and most of the empire is now his father's, and will be his in the future...... I'm afraid that I don't need to worry about money or land.
Anything outside of his body didn't have any effect on him.
Ma Qing wants to train more than 20,000 people into his own soldiers and horses, and be loyal to himself, and each person's body and soul must be branded with his own, from Mi Zhu to the soldiers...... He wanted them to be like the armored army of the Liang King, to be the strongest horseshoe under his command.
"Shizi, Zhou Tai and Tai Shici, the two thieves, do you need to heal them?" Mi Fang is now extremely convinced of Ma Qing, what is the most impossible thing in the world? That is nothing more than using his Mi Fang and tens of thousands of soldiers to defeat the elite of the Jiangdong Sun clan in a hundred battles, killing the little overlord Sun Ce with only stumps and broken armor, even such an impossible thing Ma Qing has brought them to come true, what else is impossible? Mi Fang pondered the words and said with some reluctance: "Even if you heal the two of them, they may not survive the serious injuries they are injured, let alone ...... They're not going to surrender, are they? β
"Do you think there will be a war to fight in the future? Nowadays, the 13,000 miles of land from the Jianshan Mountains in the west to the Gaima Mountains in the east belong to the Liang Kingdom, and more than 400,000 troops and horses from the three routes march together to Luoyang...... What kind of storm do you think Sun Jian and Uncle Cao can set off? Ma Qing shook his head at the corpses that had not been washed away for three hours above the Huai Shui, his face was somehow unpleasant, "They are just like those corpses, although they don't want to leave here, but under the general trend, what else can they do?" β
"There will be no war in the future, it is my father's era to fight the world, and now that era is about to pass, just think this is the afterglow of the end of the era." With the remnant sun, Ma Qing suddenly turned his head and pursed his lips, and asked Mi Fang, "Do you feel it?" β
"What?"
Mi Fang didn't know what Ma Qing wanted to say, now he felt a little frightened of this young man who was more than a few years younger than him and had not even been crowned in addition to being convinced, he was not a traditional Liangzhou warrior, and even Mi Fang could feel that the prince of Liangguo in front of him was full of ridicule for the bravery and loyalty of the traditional warriors, although he never said it, he just wanted to win!
If it weren't for the fact that he deliberately marked the price of each of Sun Ce's body parts before the war, how could Sun Ce, who was a masterpiece of a generation, die so miserably?
He also showed an unbearable expression when the soldiers were begging for rewards, powerful, fickle, calculating, cunning, and a brave and confident heart that dared to face any enemy...... This is Mi Fang's whole feeling about Ma Qing.
"I feel it!" Ma Qing squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, as if there was a sweet smell wafting in the air, "The troubled times are about to pass, I heard that when my father was in Luoyang, there was a warlock in the rivers and lakes who said that Ma's trough took the world!" It is a prophecy, the future will be the era of guarding the world, and it is also the era of Ma's, and this era is coming! β
Mi Fang was silent, and secretly put another label on Ma Qing in her heart...... Ambition.
But Mi Fang does not deny it, maybe there is really nothing to mess with in this world, Sun Ce is dead, Jiangdong has also fallen, Sun Jian has become a lone army, even if that man has been known as the god of war in the world for a long time, what can he do?
The Jiangdong Tiger has become a veritable tiger, and his claws and teeth have all been pulled out, leaving only a sturdy body, but is he really Ma Qing's opponent?
Mi Fang had never seen Sun Jian, but he knew Ma Qing's ruthlessness and cunning, and at the same time he was a little deflated in his heart.
What kind of person can fight such a horse Shizi?
Even if he is too young to speak, he can see people too accurately.
"Shizi, are we going to continue to block Sun Jian's retreat here?"
They all knew that Sun Jian was also on the way to withdraw his troops in the direction of Jiangdong, and they were carrying the power of a great victory, Ma Qing's prestige among the Mi family soldiers had climbed to the highest point, and at this moment, even if Ma Qing told them that they could rush into Luoyang and drag the emperor down, they would believe that they could do it.
"Do you think I'm tired? This beautiful era is just coming, am I so much like a fool in your eyes, willing to follow the last dynasty and perish together? Ma Qing smiled, pointed to the soldiers of the Mi family who invited merit and reward under Huaiyin City, and said: "You go and gather soldiers and horses, first collect the war booties on the banks of the Huaishui River, burn the dead on the spot, and then drive all the people on the land from Huaishui to the north bank of the Yangtze River to the south bank of the Yangtze River......"
Ma Qing said this without a trace of emotion on his face, stretched out his hand and lightly struck the strong Huaiyin city wall twice and said: "Burn every village along the way, the war horse will walk on every inch of the field, and every house in the city will be demolished...... Sun Jian will lead the soldiers and horses here, and when he comes here, I won't let him get a grain of rice or a piece of wood, I will let him not even eat the bark! β
Burning down every village, trampling on every inch of land, tearing down every house?
Mi Fang couldn't believe her ears, and immediately asked with wide eyes and disbelief, "That...... What about the people here? β
"Didn't I say that? Drive to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the warships of the Liang Kingdom will send them to Jiangdong, take their ploughing cattle, and go there to carve out a new life for themselves. Ma Qing tilted his head and said: "I will be responsible for them to the end, the more people on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the better, all of them will move into Jiangdong, I promised the Mi clan that I will give you three counties to guard, and now I will give you half of Jiangdong is enough?" β
Mi Fang was stunned, his mind couldn't keep up with Ma Qing's speed of thinking, "What are you talking about...... Koto , to us? β
"That's right, you will be the Taishou of Wu County, Mi Zhu can be the Taishou of Danyang, and you can appoint one person at will for the remaining county, as for the governor of Jiangdong, I will temporarily take it until my father sends a suitable person...... Before that, we're going to let Jiangdong settle down, Mi Fang, can you do it? β
"Settle down?" Mi Fang didn't rush to agree, but asked, "Isn't General Gan's tens of thousands of sailors still stable in Jiangdong?" β
"Don't think about General Gan's sailor, can you beat Sun Jian? Even if the tiger is old, it is still a tiger, the tiger is still a tiger, and we can't beat him. Ma Qing smiled: "Since we can't fight, let Gan Xingba and Qingliang martial arts come, I heard that they are all good men who have suffered enough in the past, and they should be able to defend Jiangzuo for three months." β
"So Mi Fang, turn this place into a dead place where grass seeds fall to the ground and won't grow a single hair next year, what we have to deal with is the world-famous God of War, and the price is worth it." Ma Qing smiled happily as when he got his first horse when he was a child, like a child, "When Sun Jian came here with his embarrassed army that was chased and beaten by Uncle Dong, and saw the desolate city and abandoned fields, as well as the Liangguo Sailor who was waiting for the strict army on the river, would he have the feelings of the overlord back then?" β
In the days that followed, the warships on the river were transferred back and forth, and the people of Jiangbei left their hometowns with their ploughing cattle and meager belongings, and became foreigners who were looking for a new life in the land of Jiangdong.
There are not only outsiders here, but also those men from far away Liangzhou, who were terrible at the beginning, but after Ma Qing formulated a complete migration policy, it was much better...... Many of the families of the civil and military attachΓ©s loyal to the Sun clan in Jiangdong were wiped out by Ma Qing's thunderous methods, and large tracts of ownerless land were distributed to the displaced people, most of whom received far more possessions than they once had.
Although this did not make them ecstatic, at least they could see the hope of a stable life in the near future, and many silently took up their hoes and began to work hard for a living.
From the Yangtze River to the coast, from the coast into the Huaishui, this area was completely blocked by the commander of Gan Ning, forming a pocket array.
This pocket is the direction in which Sun Jian was driven away by Dong Zhuo.
In fact, until now, Sun Jian's heart is still full of contempt for Dong Zhuo, an old immortal in Liangzhou.
If it weren't for the soldiers' eagerness to return home and be completely disturbed by the Liangzhou people stepping on their land, Sun Wentai would definitely let Dong Zhuo taste his own power.
According to Sun Jian's calculations, when his soldiers and horses arrived at the Huaiyin realm, his eldest son Sun Ce should have laid down a city on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then he would rely on the supply of the city and the sea line to take revenge on Dong Zhuo, who was pursuing behind him.
He is not an overlord, his power comes from Jiangdong, as long as his soldiers touch the land of Jiangdong again, they will be invincible.
Sun Jian firmly believes this.
But when he felt Huaiyin, he only saw billowing black smoke from a hundred miles of land, and the faces of the friendly people who had brought him pot pulp when he went out to fight were gone, leaving only the pot that was sheltering in the broken temple when he led the army to hide from the rain was lying alone in place.
And at the head of Huaiyin City, which was empty, he saw a headless corpse at the head of the city, and the battle armor on his body made him feel extremely familiar.
"Sun Cewu'er!"
