Others may not know, but Cao Liang is very clear, Ma Long is a rare famous general during the founding period of the Western Jin Dynasty. Hexi Xianbei's bald tree function can raise troops in Liangzhou, and the Jin State sent a large army to repeatedly conquer and suppress, but it has not been pacified, but has successively folded Hu Lie, Lian Hong, Su Yu, Yang Xin and other four assassins, even Jia Chong and others are so frightened that they find all kinds of prevarication and prevarication and dare not go out to fight, the bald tree function is famous and famous, annexed Liangzhou, and no one in the entire Jin State dares to save its edge.

Just when the Jin Kingdom was in mourning and no one dared to come to the battle, Sima Du Malone stepped forward, asked for orders to fight, recruited 3,500 warriors by himself, and embarked on a lonely journey to the west.

No one in the Manchu Dynasty is optimistic about Ma Long's expedition this time, after all, the imperial court has sent more than 100,000 troops to deal with it, and Ma Long can settle it with only 3,500 people?

This thing is a joke in the world, because Liangzhou is far away, the information is blocked, after Ma Long set out on the expedition, there is no news, and rumors suddenly spread in the court, all saying that Ma Long was killed by the bald tree function, and even Sima Yan, the Jin Wu Emperor who has always supported Ma Long, also wavered and hesitated.

But the good news of Liangzhou finally reached Luoyang, and everyone was shocked, Ma Long not only defeated Hexi Xianbei, but also killed the bald tree function, and pacified the Liangzhou rebellion that lasted for more than ten years.

Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Du Pre, Wang Jun These names will be famous in history for their achievements in destroying Shu and swallowing Wu, in fact, they are standing on the huge foundation of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and they have made a hero who follows the trend, but Ma Long is against the trend, winning more with less, doing what others dare not do, and doing things that others dare not think, because of this, Cao Liang admires Ma Long very much, and thinks that Ma Long is a rare real famous general in this era.

In fact, what Cao Liang admired the most was Ma Long's character, in fact, at the beginning, Ma Long was promoted by Ling Hu Yu and became a small military attache in Chongzhou, after Ling Hu Yu died, he was accused of plotting a rebellion, and Sima Yi ordered Ling Hu Yu's body to be dug out for whipping, and then the corpse was violently left in the wilderness.

Afterwards, no one in Yanzhou dared to bury him. Ma Long then pretended to be Ling Huyu's doorman to take Ling Huyu's remains, and then used his private wealth to bury him, and even planted pine and cypress trees on the side of the cemetery, and even mourned him for three years.

Ma Long actually needs great courage to do this, after all, the rebellion is a big crime of killing the head and exterminating the clan, and if you are a little bit touched, you have to shed your skin if you don't die.

Although Ling Huyu is dead, he is involved in the rebellion, and no one wants to have anything to do with him. In fact, Malone and Ling Huyu don't have much friendship, just a little bit of kindness, but Malone did not avoid suspicion, and took the initiative to stand up and collect Ling Huyu's body.

Ability, responsibility, and deeds, such a talent is placed in front of Cao Liang, how can Cao Liang easily let him go?

However, this time, Ma Long came to Bingzhou to act as a messenger for Wang Ling, and when the letter was delivered, his task as a postman was completed, at most he brought a reply letter from Cao Liang, and then returned to Huainan.

If it is an ordinary person, Cao Liang Xu is a high-ranking official, so it is naturally not difficult to leave him behind, but Cao Liang knows that Ma Long's personality is straightforward, and it is by no means that money and power can be won over, since he can work tirelessly to deliver letters, it must be Wang Ling's side that treats him well, and if he wants to leave him, he has to use his brains.

After Ma Long took a bath, he changed into a new set of clothes, and Lu Chaonan brought him to see Cao Liang.

"The letter has been brought here, and if Cao Dudu has nothing else to do, he will leave here." Ma Long really acted simply and resigned directly to Cao Liang.

Cao Liang smiled slightly and said: "The horse is tired of saddle horses all the way, how can you not rest for a few days and then return?" Besides, a certain is also going to write a letter back to Thomas to bring to Wang Taiwei, Ma is in such a hurry to go back, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right? ”

Malone hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the governor has a reply, then please ask the governor to start writing first, this trip has been delayed for a lot of time, and we must rush back as soon as possible." ”

Cao Liang said: "Ma Zhen is in such a hurry to rush back, he must also be worried about the situation in Huainan, right?" In the letter, Wang Taiwei has already exhausted the details, hoping that a certain side can send troops to relieve the siege of Huainan. It's just that Bingzhou and Huainan are thousands of miles away, and although he has the heart but is powerless, he is worried about how to reply to Wang Taiwei. ”

Wang Ling's letter to Cao Liang is sealed with fire paint, but even if it is not sealed, with Ma Long's character, he will definitely not peek at it, but Wang Ling only regards Ma Long as a messenger, but Ma Long actually has his own opinions on the battle of Huainan, at this moment Cao Liang said this, Ma Long immediately said: "Wang Taiwei asked for help from Cao Dudu, not really asked Cao Dudu to send troops to Huainan, and although the state is close to Luoyang, Sima Yi's foundation is in Luoyang, if Sima Yi learns that Luoyang has been attacked, he will definitely return to the army to rescue, Why is the siege of Huainan puzzled? ”

Cao Liang suddenly had a "sudden realization" expression, and praised: "What a siege of Wei to save Zhao, Ma is engaged in a good strategy!" In this way, it is not bad, but the generals under a certain command have their own dispatches, and if the troops and horses are mobilized in such a short time, it is difficult to have complete personnel, and the most lacking thing is a vanguard officer of Zhengyin, I don't know who to appoint? ”

Cao Liang took the lead in putting the "difficulties" on his shoulders, it's not that I don't want to send troops to fight, the main reason is that there is a shortage of people on my side, there is no general to lead the troops, this battle is fought like this?

Ma Long, who is upright by nature, definitely didn't think about the worst, and when he heard Cao Liang's words, he said: "Although a certain is not talented, I would like to share the worries of the governor, please allow the governor of Cao to be a pioneer and raise troops to fight thieves." ”

Cao Liang didn't expect Ma Long to agree so easily, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take much effort to get it, he smiled and said: "So very good, since Ma Cheng is willing to be a pioneer officer, then he will definitely re-prepare and strive to send troops to Luoyang as soon as possible." ”

In fact, Cao Liang had already had a plan to attack Hanoi, which was not entirely for Wang Ling's siege, but the main reason was that Cao Liang wanted to find out the deployment of Sima Army's troops in the direction of Hanoi and Luoyang, and if he could threaten and shake Sima Army's defense in Luoyang, it would be better.

Cao Liang had considered this plan as early as when he attacked Pingyang, even if Ma Long didn't come, Cao Liang also planned to send troops to Hanoi when the spring flowers bloomed, and Ma Long came, so that Cao Liang could be a favor, and if he could get Ma Long's help, it would be no better, Cao Liang would definitely get a big help in fighting against Sima Yi.
