Chapter 180: Assassination of Shi Zhang Liao

After the incense, they saw Zhang Liao in the back hall.

The troops of the Second Division were still on the road, and Zhang Liao took his guard battalion to throw off the large force and arrived first.

Fa Zheng and Hou Cheng reported to him, about the process of recruiting Wang Meng and the Western Regions Coalition Army, Wang Quan also reported his own annihilation of Yue's Hu.

As for the process of Ma Teng's death, Pang De and Zhang Yang had already reported to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was very satisfied with Fa Zheng's performance, his judgment was accurate, he had extraordinary courage, and he could also speak well, and he really deserved to be one of the best graduates of the Shaling Military Academy.

Zhang Liao decided that the whole army would rest on the spot in Linqiang, and Hou Cheng's second cavalry division would also stay in Linqiang first.

As for the prisoners of the Western Regions Coalition Army and Yueshi Hu, the 2,000 remnants led by Pang De and Zhang Yang were guarded, and the prisoner of war camp was temporarily set up in Yunwu, after all, it was more reassuring to be in the Han settlement.

As for Han Sui, who escaped through the net, and the remnants of the Xiqiang tribes who fled back to the Qiang area, let them go away for a few days for the time being.

After Zhang Liao reported to Lu Bu in Chang'an the whole process of entering the Liangzhou operation, especially the details of the defeat of Muchenggu, he waited for Lu Bu's reply and next instructions before making a decision.

Zhang Liao handed over a long letter detailing the entire process of the operation into Liangzhou, especially the death of Ma Teng and the defeat of Muchenggu, to the people of the Intelligence Department, who sent it back to Chang'an as quickly as possible with carrier pigeons.

At the same time, a team of cavalry was also sent to Chang'an with an identical long letter, and the letter was sent to Chang'an at an expedited speed of six hundred miles to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Ten days later, Lu Bu, who was far away in Chang'an, finally received this long letter, and the carrier pigeon sent it back first.

Lu Bu controlled his emotions and read this long letter, and also understood the whole story, and his premonition was still fulfilled!

After so many years of tempering as the Lord, Lu Bu did not jump as violently as Fa Zheng imagined.

He has complex emotions, resentment towards the cunning Han Sui, anger at the reckless Ma Teng, greed for merit, regret for Ma Teng's sacrifice, and admiration for Zhang Yang's three in and three out to save people.

I was moved by the light and serious wounded who stayed behind on the mountain and died with the enemy, I was pleased and appreciated by Fa Zheng's wisdom and courage, and I was moved by Zhang Liao's self-blame and understanding of various arrangements.

Lu Bu felt that putting himself in Zhang Liao's position would not do better than Zhang Liao.

It seems that Wen Yuan has really matured and is fully qualified for the role of the commander of an army.

Lu Bu ordered that the news of Ma Teng's death be kept secret from the Ma Chao brothers for the time being, especially that Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Xiu were about to take graduation exams, and they could not be distracted.

Especially Ma Chao's excellent performance in his military academy career in the past year made Lu Bu full of expectations for his graduation exam results.

Ma Teng is dead, the merits are a hundred, and after all, the merits are greater than the faults, Lu Bu asked the emperor to issue a decree to posthumously crown Ma Teng as the Marquis of Huaili, and Ma Chao will be the heir in the future.

Lü Bu replied to Zhang Liao, the strategic task of the Liangzhou Expeditionary Force remained unchanged, and it was still important to recover the entire territory of Liangzhou, and Zhang Liao took over as the assassin of Liangzhou.

The Xiqiang people and Han Sui were both set up as the number one public enemy, and Zhang Liao was personally responsible for attacking the Xiqiang tribes, and those who surrendered were spared death, and those who resisted were exterminated.

The Xiqiang tribes who surrendered were all relocated to Hanyang, settled in Anding and other counties, and then relegated to slaves.

The 4th Cavalry Division of Li Dao was sent to join the Liangzhou Expeditionary Force and obeyed Zhang Liao's command.

Fa Zheng was promoted to chief of staff of the Liangzhou Expeditionary Force, which could help Zhang Liao formulate tactics, and the position was only below Zhang Liao.

Pang De was promoted to commander of the Third Cavalry Division, Zhang Yang was appointed deputy division commander, and the Third Cavalry Division was withdrawn to Ji County for rest, and the prisoner of war camp was also withdrawn to Ji County.

Chang'an will send reserve troops to help the 7th and 9th Cavalry Brigades replenish and rebuild.

However, before the reorganization and acceptance were qualified, the Third Cavalry Division was only responsible for the defense of the five counties of Hanyang, Anding, Beidi, Wudu, and Longxi, and was not allowed to participate in the offensive operations of the expeditionary force, which could be regarded as Lu Bu's disguised punishment for the defeat of their Muchenggu.

These things in Liangzhou really broke Lu Bu's heart, Lu Bu still underestimated this Han Sui's ability before, this old fox jumped up and down so cunningly, it seems that he still underestimated the enemy!

Lu Bu came to the backyard and looked at his son who was playing with Chan'er in the yard, and his mood relaxed a little. But there was a subordinate who told him that he was frustrated and asked to see him.

Lu Bu still valued and relied on these two military advisors very much, and hurriedly put down his son who had just thrown himself into his arms and came to the study.

Frustrated and hard working in the past few years, Lu Bu looked distressed, "Gonghe, why do you look thin again?" I asked you to go to the miracle doctor to show you, did you go? ”

"Thank you for your concern, I eat and sleep well now, my body is fine, the doctor is too busy, I didn't bother, I came today, I also have something important to say."

"Okay, then you can say it first, and I'll ask the divine doctor to go to your house to show you, the body is the capital of the revolution."

"Thank you, my lord, but what does revolution mean?" Frustrated and puzzled.

Lu Bu was quick again, and he missed it, "It's nothing, it's just the meaning of work, you can tell me what you're here for, right?" ”

"Oh, it's the matter of the Central Normal School, the school is progressing very quickly under the attention and attention of the lord, the construction of the campus has been completed for the most part, and the first phase of students has also been recruited, and the school has started this month."

"There will be a opening ceremony in a few days, and you will be there to preside over it in person, so it's best to cheer them up and say a few words."

"It's already time for school to start, it's very fast, it seems that Old Master Lu and Mr. Fa Yan are really interested, hehe, let them really find the right person, I must be present at the opening ceremony."

"There is another thing, which is the main thing I have come today, that is, Lord Lu Zhi has painstakingly invited two of his former classmates and friends, both of whom are the first-class celebrities today."

"Oh, Lu Zhi's classmate? He is Ma Rong's proud protégé, and many of Ma Rong's students are famous people in the world, I don't know which two? Lu Bu was also curious about who Lu Zhi had invited?

"Have you ever heard of Zheng Xuan in Gaomi in Beihai and Hua Xin in Gaotang in the Plains?" Frustrated with a smile.

"Ahh It was the two of them? Zheng Xuan is a great Confucian in the world, a first-class celebrity in the world, a master of scriptures, and is also good at the study of almanacs, and he is very famous, how can I not know? Hua Xin is also a famous person in the Kanto region, a big name! ”

Lu Buzhen was shocked, this Zheng Xuan was also very famous in later generations, and his knowledge was even called "Zheng Xue" in later generations! Many of the commentaries that preceded him were replaced by his commentaries.

Although the other Hua Xin was not particularly famous at that time, Lu Bu knew that he was Cao Wei's Xiangguo for decades in the history of another time and space, and his skills were very great.

However, in this historical time and space, he was just an ordinary state official, who was originally an official in Luoyang, but later disgusted with Dong Zhuo and fled, this time Lu Zhi simply recruited him as a servant in the name of the imperial court, and really invited him.

Fu Zhu told Lu Bu that the two would arrive in Chang'an tomorrow, and Lu Zhi and Fa Yan asked Fu Zhu to invite Lu Bu, hoping that Lu Bu could put down his identity and go to meet the two celebrities tomorrow.

Lu Zhi and both of them studied under the famous Ma Rong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and of course there is another person who is as famous as them, but this person has a strange temper and likes to hide from the world, and now he has gone to Liaodong to escape the war, this person is Guan Ning.

There is a classic story, the severance of friendship is about Guan Ning and Hua Xin.
