Chapter 66: The Great Commander of the Praetorian Guard

Leaving the General's Mansion and returning to the foothold, Gao Shun, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Cang and others came around, Gao Shun asked: "General, how is it in the court today?" ”

Ma Chao shook his head lightly and sighed: "I am now under house arrest in Luoyang. ”

"What?"

"Why?"

Fu Yan told everything that happened in the court today, and everyone was furious, especially Liu Bei, who said angrily: "Liu Yan actually dares to do this!" ”

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said: "The eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, originally Qian Shuo proposed to control the forbidden army and divide He Jin's military power, and he also wanted to show favor to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, but he didn't expect that no one would accept his affection. ”

Gao Shun nodded and said worriedly: "Yes, but the young master is now trapped in Luoyang, and he will move to the West Garden tomorrow, what should he do in the future?" ”

Ma Chao pondered for a moment and said, "Father, you and Fu Yan will go to Wuyuan County immediately tomorrow and deliver a letter to Master Jia." ”

He sent another order: "Gao Shun, you go to the military camp outside Luoyang tomorrow, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed there are in charge of you, and you are waiting for my military order." ”

"There are a total of 5,000 people in my Xiyuan Praetorian Guard, of which I have 2,000 myself, and the other 3,000 are in charge of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei respectively."

"Whoa!"

At that moment, after Ma Chao's order, everyone gathered together and made a plan, and they retired one after another.

The next day, Ma Teng and Fu Yan quickly left Luoyang with their guards and rushed to Wuyuan County, Jia Xu opened the letter, which said that the internal affairs of the 6 counties of Bingzhou were written, and Jia Xu was the main one, and Qiu Jun and Fu Chang were deputies.

And he has been on the imperial court to add officials to the generals who are fighting in Liangzhou and Youzhou.

Gabai Su Dingfang was the captain of the Northern Army of Bingzhou, and he was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Worship Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao as the generals of the Northern Army of Bingzhou, and give them the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Bai Sima Cuo, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Pang De were the generals of the Northern Army of Bingzhou.

Worship Zhou Cang and Gongsun Zan as the Northern Army and Protector of the Prefecture.

Li Cunxiao, LΓΌ Bu, Pang De, Zhao Yun and Chen Bing were ordered to be in Shuofang County, close to Liangzhou, to supervise Dong Zhuo's movements.

Ordered Tian Yu, Zhao Zhao, and Xian Yufu to continue to lead the soldiers and horses of Wuyuan County.

Dong Zhuo left Bingzhou and went to Liangzhou to be a pastor, and the state pastor was vacant, and Ding Yuan was temporarily appointed as the assassin of Bingzhou, and Ma Chao ordered Jia Xu to befriend him.

The hundreds of ox carts carried into the Gohara County, loaded with thousands of tons of meteoric iron, were accepted by the blacksmiths in the Hundred Workers Prison and unanimously recognized as excellent black iron.

Ma Chao ordered the 100 workers to make a batch of 3,000 heavy black iron horse harnesses, 3,000 light black iron horse harnesses, and the rest were used for other purposes.

The formation of the Black Cavalry Guard, with the most elite 1,000 cavalry as the mainstay, equipped with heavy Xuantie harness, is in charge of Su Dingfang.

The formation of the Huangzhong Yi Army, mainly Qiang people, Xianbei people, a total of 2,000 people, equipped with heavy Xuantie harness, by Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu in charge.

The formation of the White Horse Yi Army, mainly white war horses, a total of 3,000 people, equipped with light Xuantie harness, by Zhao Yun, Pang De, Gongsun Zhan in charge.

After the order was completed, Ma Chao took Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhou Cang to move into the West Garden, and stationed here with 6 other school captains.

Qian Shuo, as a little yellow gate, although he is one of the eight captains of the West Garden, he usually does not live in the West Garden at all, and has always lived in the palace.

In the past few days, He Jin discussed with everyone, but did not get the opportunity to kill the eunuchs, and after a long time, a large number of pavilions and pavilions were built in the West Garden, and there was a Yulin Garden covering an area of 100 miles, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty stayed in the West Garden all day long, indulging in pleasure.

Outside Luoyang, there was smoke everywhere, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans broke out in the second round of rebellions in various places, especially the two Yellow Turban forces of the White Wave Thieves and the Black Mountain Thieves.

The eastern Xianbei and Wuhuan people in the north of Youzhou are also constantly invading, and the newly appointed Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan have a bad relationship, and the two sides quarrel endlessly, but there are Su Dingfang and others mediating in the middle, which is quite stable.

In the north of Bingzhou, the shadow of the Southern Xiongnu suddenly appeared, and the Southern Xiongnu submitted to the Han Dynasty after the Han-Hun Hundred Years War, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, they were ready to move again.

The Baiyue tribe in the south also broke out in rebellion, and Sun Jian took office as the Taishou of Changsha, and fought several battles with the Baiyue tribe, winning and losing each other.

Suddenly, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was finally peaceful for a few days, and it fell into war again for many years.

Time passed, this year, it was already 189 years, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was critically ill, and the Empress Dowager Dong was in power.

After all the ministers entered the court, the last young general came flutteringly, looking at it from a distance, he was 1.78 meters tall, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like meteors, his tiger body and ape arms, his belly was wolf's waist, he was dressed in a feather coat, his appearance was dignified, and he was majestic.

Everyone looked at it, this young general was Ma Chao, this year, he was 14 years old, heroic, and tiger-stepped.

Today is the first time that Empress Dowager Dong has sat in the court and started to govern, and she used to sit behind the scenes, so when she saw Ma Chao's appearance for the first time, she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart.

Unexpectedly, above the court, there was such a handsome young hero, who was happy in his heart, and opened his mouth to make an order: "From today on, Ma Mengqi will move into the inner garden and take charge of the position of the commander of the Suwei Praetorian Guard, protecting the mourning family, the queen Wang, as well as the prince and the prince. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Obey the decree of the Empress Dowager!" ”

The inner garden, outside the dormitory of the Empress Dowager and the princes, belongs to the Suwei Praetorian Guard, Ma Chao suddenly became the supreme commander of the Suwei Praetorian Guard, plus his 5,000 West Garden Praetorian Guards as the right captain, a total of 10,000 people.

In an instant, countless jealous eyes fell on Ma Chao, but he was expressionless and stood quietly in the line of military attachΓ©s.

After retiring from the dynasty, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other Xiyuan captains came to congratulate him, Ma Chao's current authority has surpassed that of Qian Shuo, and Qian Shuo himself is only the commander of 8,000 people, and the position of the commander of the Su Guard Praetorian Guard is also more authoritative than Qian Shuo's military captain.

Qian Shuo's hateful gaze suddenly shot at Ma Chao, if the gaze can kill, then Ma Chao has been blown up countless times by Qian Shuo.

"Huh?"

Sensing that there was a treacherous villain staring at him behind him, his eyes were cold, and he wanted to tear himself alive, Ma Chao turned around, not afraid of him, and looked at Qian Shuo.

On the contrary, it was Qian Shuo, who was stared at by Ma Chao, who was strong in blood, his eyes were erratic, and he subconsciously turned his head away, not daring to look at Ma Chao.

"Humph!"

Ma Chao sneered, left the court, and moved into the inner garden with 3,000 people, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, while Liu Bei and Zhou Cang led 2,000 people to continue to stay in the West Garden, watching each other and fighting each other.

Moving into the inner garden, Ma Chao found that the 5,000 guards he commanded were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and vulnerable.

Unexpectedly, he, the great commander, was given the power of the army by 2 deputy commanders!

"It's kind of interesting."

Ma Chao said with a joke, he knew that the two deputy commanders were definitely the people of the Ten Standing Servants, and they wanted to see Ma Chao's jokes.

Zhang Fei was annoyed and scolded: "These bastards, how dare you do this, general, why don't we rush over and make a big fuss?" ”

Guan Yu stopped: "Third brother, don't make a mistake, if I make trouble on the first day I move here, I'm afraid the impact will not be good." ”

Ma Chao was a bachelor, a hob meat, and said: "Yide is right, we will go to find the stubble of the two deputy commanders now!" ”

"Great!"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and immediately ordered 3,000 Xiyuan Janissaries, and took 5,000 weak guards and Praetorian Guards, a total of 8,000 people, to the Inner Garden School.

On the inner garden school field, the two deputy commanders are in charge of a total of 6,000 people, and they are training soldiers here, and when they see Ma Chao coming with people, the number of 8,000 people is vast, at least in terms of momentum, quite extraordinary.

The two deputy commanders glanced at each other, their eyes were full of fierce light, and one of them walked out and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, it turned out to be the Grand Commander, there is a loss of welcome, disrespect and disrespect!" ”

"Missing?"

Ma Chao narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Take him down!" ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Fei was the first to make a move, and a spear stabbed over, and the deputy commander panicked, hurriedly drew his sword to meet the attack, and was knocked off the blade by the Zhangba snake spear, and took it directly.

"You dare!"

The other deputy commander was taken aback, what is the situation, the new district commander, actually dares to take the lead?

He scolded, "Stop! Let go of him, this is the inner garden, how can you wait to be wild! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he chuckled: "It seems that the Janissary Guards have not fought for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is worrying, but they are a deputy commander, and they were taken down so easily." ”

"Loss, people, present, eyes!"

The four words were drunk at once, Guan Yu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to kill, brandishing the hundred-pound Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and the knife fell with a bang, and the deputy commander hurriedly raised his spear to meet the attack, but was so powerful that his legs couldn't stand anymore by the huge force transmitted from the big knife, and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Shhhh

The guards saw it clearly, but they didn't expect that the newly appointed commander, the 2 generals under the account, was a mess, and the 2 deputy commanders were in front of them, just like 2 little sheep, weak and incompetent.

Ma Chao held a war giant lance, weighing 100 catties, and the lance pointed directly at the two deputy commanders: "Accept it or not?" ”
