At the time of the earthquake, Ma Yue was on the way to the Lingshui military camp with Jia Xu, and for several months, Ma Yue could not get away because of the formation of the department, and all government affairs were thrown to the staff office headed by Jia Xu. Yang Feng, who also reported the news of the two thieves, and the old brothers he gathered from Jiuquan have been mixed in Longxi and Jincheng counties for several months, and this trip is to rush back to Longxian County to report the situation to Ma Yue.

The Staff Office is a new institution established by Ma Yue in order to deal with government affairs, which has Jia Xu, Cheng Wu, Pei Hui, Pei Juan and others, these people are full of poetry and books, and most of them are handy in handling political affairs, so Ma Yue's government affairs for the state pastoral government will be fully handed over to the Staff Office to implement, in order to ensure that every matter is implemented according to his own ideas, the Staff Office stipulates that every ten years government affairs are approved by him at a suitable time.

In short, the Shogunate was not a decision-making body, but the first executive shogunate under Ma Yue.

"Envoy, Han Sui has surrendered to the table, and the table states that I hope you can fulfill your original promise and give Han Sui, Zhang Heng, Dian Wu, Li Xiangru, Pang De, Bai Huwu, Zhi Wudai, Mangyi, Fahe, and Burning Plug the positions of captains of the ten departments."

Han Sui really agreed. Ma Yue was in a happy mood when he heard the news, and he didn't even hurry up so much, Xinma turned his head to Yang Feng and asked, "Ah Ruo, what do you know about these ten captains over there?" ”

Yang Feng was still the same old look, with a ghost face carved from sandalwood to cover his handsome facial features, and when he heard the words, he said: "Han Sui used to be engaged in it, and he was widely known in Jincheng, and now he is the leader of the rebels. Zhang Heng and Dian Wu were the leaders of small tribes near Jincheng and became famous in several major wars after the rebellion. Li Xiangru was originally the Taishou of Longxi, and the Song brother Cao Han claimed that the king occupied Longxi, so he took refuge in Han Sui, and now he is also guarding one side. Pang De and Mang Yi were originally subordinates of Beigong Boyu, and now they follow Han Sui, but they are always around the rebels, and they are not Han Sui's henchmen. Baihuwu, Zhi Wudai, Fahe, Burning Plug and others are all Qiang adults near the Great Snow Mountain, and they don't know much about them, but their subordinates have assassinated and treated Wudai...... I have a grudge against him. ”

Ma Yue nodded lightly, as long as they were separated from morality, Ma Yue was relieved, and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, you can do this matter in your staff office, just think of ten names regardless of superiority, just send them with a letter of seal, and don't need to do anything else." ”

"No."

Yang Feng followed behind Ma Yue silently for a long time, and finally stepped forward to ask Ma Yue: "Don't blame the lord, the subordinates just have doubts, I don't know why the lord wants to recruit Han Sui and the others, even if they are nominally the captains of the Han family, they will still rebel in the future...... Instead, you give them official positions and ranks, no matter how you look at it, it's a loss. ”

"Hehe, Ah Ruo, you don't understand." Ma Yue looked up at Jia Xu with a little cunning on his face and said, "Wenhe, explain to Ah Ruo, why I want to divide the ten captains." ”

Ma Yue's division of the ten captains of the rebel army naturally had his own considerations, but at this time, it was more about testing Jia Xu's meaning.

"No, but I didn't talk to the envoy about this matter, just a few guesses, if you are wrong, I hope that the envoy will not be punished." Jia Xu first said a pretext, and then said to Yang Feng: "Let the monarch divide the ten captains, in the next thought that there are no more than three, one is to correct the name of the rebels, the rebellion has been six years since the people's livelihood in Liangzhou withered, the people under the rule of the rebels are also used to the appearance of today, the small leaders of the year have now become the climate, and now they are divided into ten captains, some of them inevitably want to the imperial court, all of a sudden exempt from the whole body of responsibility, become the imperial court captain, with a serious background, although the rebellion will not be sent to quell the rebellion in the future, But there must be someone who won't help each other. This is one of them. ”

"The second is differentiation, the ten captains are subordinate regardless of high and low, Han Sui is the leader of the rebels today, and he will become the captain of Jincheng tomorrow, which not only reduces Han Sui's right to speak but also increases the prestige of the Han family. Jia Xu laughed, his face was full of wrinkles, his expression was full of indifference, he seemed to be very happy to be appreciated by Ma Yue, squinted his eyes and said: "As for the third, it is to let Han Sui know that the sword of the envoy is aimed at Jincheng, but he has to discuss this matter with the captain of the ten departments. The war is old, that is, there are war-weary people in the rebels, if they do not surrender, the rebels will fight to the death, but as soon as the words of the king surrender come out, the future battle will not be so easy to fight. ”

After that, Jia Xu lifted the reins and smiled and bowed his hand to Ma Yue, "Envoy, I don't know if what my subordinates said is right?" ”

"Yes, it is my Ma Yue's luck to have Wen and help, and this sentence has won my heart." Ma Yue laughed when he heard this, and said to Yang Feng: "Ah Ruo, do you think this strategy can defeat which of the ten captains under Han Sui's command?" ”

"The lord's strategy with Han Sui's appearance this time means that it has achieved initial results, but according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, although this plan hurts Han Sui, it may not have a huge effect on the lord." Yang Feng considered the choice of words and said: "The lord is good at plotting people's hearts, but he is still a step slow, the lord has a general understanding of the situation of the ten captains, but his subordinates have to report in detail, and then the lord will look at this plan." ”

"Zhang Heng and Dian Wu, since Han Sui did not raise the army, they have been Han Sui's henchmen, they are both Qiang people of the tribe of 100 people, Han Sui helped him and the two of them to plan, and now both are based on the horse farm of 100 miles, if the lord is under him, Yu Yun's eldest brother, Yu Yanming, it is really difficult to rebel. Li Xiangru of Longxi was originally the Taishou of the Han family, and later rebelled into Han Sui, although his person was widely famous, but he was vulgar, two-faced, and difficult to attract foreign aid. Bai Huwu, Zhi Wudai, Fa He, Burning Plug and others are all Qiang Breed Adults, Han Sui couldn't help them, and now he is a captain...... I'm afraid that the lord will also be difficult to drive. The only ones who can be won over are Pound and Mang Yi, these two of them can be the champion of Pang De's courage among the ten captains, and Mang Yi is full of wisdom and the most insidious and cunning. ”

Yang Feng sighed, "But Mang Yi will not plan for the lord...... A few years ago, Elder Brother Yun took Yanming into the cool to find Sister Yanming, Manqi rebelled under the command of Uncle Beigong in Qiangzhong, and Elder Brother Yun helped Han Sui, who was engaged in Jincheng at the time, to quell the rebellion and beheaded Mangqi. This Mangqi is Manch's brother. ”

"Suck ......" Ma Yue gasped, and the joy on his face was swept away, "What does Ah Ruo mean is that Mang Yi and us have a deep enmity of blood, and only Pang De, the captain of the ten departments, can be recruited as foreign aid?" In this way, I'm afraid that Pound will be gone, and the captain of the Ten Departments will make a wedding dress for others! ”

Pound, Pound, he stabbed Pound with a knife when he was a child, and the relationship between the two is lukewarm now, not to mention that each is the master.

"Okay, I thought the situation in Liangzhou was complicated, but it was complicated in this group of heroes and heroes I have met, and today I know that it is impossible to have no intelligence anywhere." Ma Yue didn't hang his head as Jia Xu thought, but sighed and said to Yang Feng: "If I could have asked Ah Ruo to explore the state and county for me earlier, then I would have been able to avoid this loss." Ah Ruo, recruit more rangers, all the resources needed will be provided by the state government, and all the information will be reported to the staff office after summarizing, no, when I go back, I will think about it and get an agency dedicated to intelligence. ”

Yang Feng was about to salute on the horse, and suddenly Ma Yue's crotch horse suddenly stood up, a neighing almost overturned Ma Yue, and then Jia Xu's mount galloped out, straight to the body of Jia Xu flew out, Yang Feng quickly grabbed Jia Xu and lifted him on his horse, but his mount was also frightened immediately after, in a hurry, Yang Feng had to protect Jia Xu and fell to the ground, and then looked up, Ma Yue's mount had fallen in the ice on the ground, Ma Yue was a few steps away from the mount, and gestured to the two to let them stay away from the horse.

The horses were frightened for some reason, and the more the horses did not dare to get closer.

Even if he has the courage to wrestle with a wild boar, he still has no confidence in the mad horse, unless he wants to cut his horse to death, the mad horse kicks his hooves and dodges the body, which is the end of a broken leg and broken bones.

Ma Yue looked at the wild neighing horses but did not feel thrilled, what really scared him was the roar of the beasts in the mountains and forests, the road from Longxian to the Lingshui River was hundreds of steps away from the mountains and forests, and the grass was overgrown on both sides, but even if there was such a distance, he could still hear the roar of the beasts, and the birds in the sky ran out of the forest, and the whole scene was like an apocalypse.

"What is it that makes birds and beasts so afraid?"

An ominous year suddenly flashed in Ma Yue's heart, and the three of them stood in the middle of the road in shock, looking at each other.

Here it comes.

The earth trembled, the snow-capped mountains at the end of the eye shook in sight, the tall trees collapsed in an instant, and the horses had fled into the distance when the earthquake struck, and their respect for their masters was far less than the fear of the creation of heaven and earth. None of the three of them could keep standing, Ma Yue stabbed the ground with the hilt of the knife, and half-knelt on the ground with the ring knife, although he couldn't stop shaking, he still observed the situation around him.

But he couldn't see anything clearly, and everywhere he could see was snow and ice, and everywhere was dirt flying.

Ma Yue doesn't care about his personal safety anymore, the only belief in his mind is Cai Yan, he wants to return to Longxian, he wants to return to Longxian.

The more Ma wanted to stand up, but his legs did not obey the call, so he had to struggle in fear, praying that the might of heaven and earth would end soon.

The tremor lasted for dozens of breaths before regaining calm, the three of them stood up in the confusion, looked at the fallen trees in the distance and were silent, Jia Xu held the horsewhip, but the horse had already run away without a trace, so he had to wave it weakly, wanting to lose the horsewhip, and finally thought about it or inserted it into the back waist, sighing.

With such a catastrophe, it is already lucky to survive.

"Wen and Aruo, one of you will go to Zhangjiachuan and the other will go to the Lingshui military camp to count the casualties and losses caused by the disaster." Ma Yue glanced to the south, where the outline of the city was still there.

"I went back to Longxian County, took a look at my family, and prepared to resettle the victims."
