Chapter 405: New Appointments
Ma Chao walked in a hurry this time, and even the family members of Longxi ran directly towards Wudu regardless of it, and as a result, the soldiers naturally had a lot of reluctance to follow, so they fled one after another, and when Ma Chao's army finally arrived at Sanguan, more than half of the 50,000 troops under his command fled, and only about 20,000 people remained!
Even the 20,000 people were extremely demoralized, and there were rumors along the way, and many of them were scaring themselves.
Fortunately, the current Wudu County has not been breached, and there is no rebellion, and the situation is still relatively stable.
However, now Longxi is indeed a little turbulent, Ma Chao heard that Cheng Yin, who was in charge of guarding Longxi, actually accepted Cheng Gongying's persuasion, and directly raised troops to surrender, and at the same time responded to some local wealthy families, the most influential is the Li clan in Longxi, the current patriarch of the Li family is named Li Rail (not the Li Rail at the end of the Sui Dynasty), when he was more than forty years old, he has a son named Li Long, who is weak and weak, but likes to dance with guns and sticks, in addition to more than ten children and nephews, all young and heroic, making friends with the township party, and is quite influential in the local area. Now even they have been inspired to announce their surrender, which means that Ma Chao has no foundation in Longxi.
In fact, this is not to blame Ma Chao, because he is young, his own qualifications and prestige are not high, plus he has been a hostage in Chang'an before, and he is not very familiar with the situation, and now he has just pacified Yongzhou and raised troops to rebel not long after, plus Pei Qing's prestige is high enough, and his strength is strong enough, those local wealthy families think about their own interests, if Ma Chao's strength is still relatively strong, they naturally dare not make any changes, but now that Ma Chao is defeated, these people naturally have nothing to hesitate about, is the so-called wall falling down and everyone pushes it, and now Ma Chao is experiencing this situation.
Previously, Ma Chao quickly pacified the entire Yongzhou under the banner of Pei Qing and in the name of avenging his father, and killed Han Sui, the enemy who killed his father, but then his defeat was so fast, and even faster than the speed at which he pacified Yongzhou, which really can't help but make people sigh.
Ma Chao's psychology is even more difficult to accept this, but seeing that Pei Qing didn't even show his face, the soldiers under his command have completely won the victory, he really can't help but write a big "service" word, if he had known that it would be such a result today, he would definitely not choose to betray, but now it is too late to regret it, there is no regret medicine in this world.
Pei Qing was also very happy after getting the news of the rapid victory of the front, because the battle itself was nothing, but Pei Qing seized the land of several counties, but what made Pei Qing even happier was that many talents emerged in it, and these talents were the fundamental pillars of Pei Qing's domination of the world.
Then Pei Qing decided to strengthen the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, so Pei Qing appointed Cheng Gongying as the assassin of Yongzhou, and changed Hanyang County to Tianshui County, with Jiang Xu as Tianshui Taishou, ordered Zhang Xiu to be Jincheng Taishou, and divided the western part of Jincheng County into Xiping County, with Liyi as Xiping Taishou, and ordered Zhang Ji to be Longxi Taishou.
So Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew guarded the two counties together, and the two counties looked at each other, the world was shocked for a while, everyone was shocked, and someone with good deeds reminded Pei Qing to be careful and vigilant, and it was best to let them stay away, but Pei Qing was unmoved and laughed away.
Pei Qing naturally has his own reasoning, first of all, the loyalty of the two uncles and nephews has reached 200, they absolutely cannot have any selfishness, and even if they are selfish, as long as they are smarter, they have to think about Ma Chao's ending, even the strongest princes in the world, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are not Pei Qing's opponents, let alone others.
As a result, this caused Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew to be uneasy, and they took the initiative to ask for a transfer, but they were denied by Pei Qing, and let them be their officials with peace of mind.
Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu can only be more grateful to Pei Qing, although their loyalty has reached its peak and it is impossible to rise again, but the gratitude in their hearts is real, which naturally makes them more active in contributing their loyalty to Pei Qing.
Subsequently, Pei Qing ordered that the meritorious Lu Yan, Lu Sheng, Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, Jiang Yu, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Liang Kuan, Zhao Qu, Li Long, Li Bao, Li Biao and others who had made meritorious contributions in this battle should go to Chang'an to receive their rewards.
When the news came, the crowd was shaken, because many smart people guessed that Pei Qing would "give immortal medicine" to them, although it was not uncommon to do such a thing as giving immortal medicine, but Pei Qing was the first time to "give immortal medicine" on such a large scale, and it was for those who surrendered for the first time, such a thing was really shocking.
Of course, Pei Qing will not match genes on such a large scale, but get the genes of these people to see which one is loyal enough, and then match genes for them, and Pei Qing's matching is just to set a benchmark, the purpose is to encourage others to work hard.
Even so, it is estimated that Pei Qing can also have a great impact on the entire Longyou region, because there is absolutely no such thing as the rebirth of people's abilities before.
Those who were summoned to Chang'an didn't know Pei Qing's true purpose, it wasn't enough that they had already heard that Pei Qing Lixian was corporal, and the rewards and punishments were clear, since they had made meritorious contributions this time, they would definitely be rewarded heavily after arriving in Chang'an, so everyone was very excited, and they were finally able to see the legendary Pei Gong who was written by Xinyi all over the world, and believed that with their merits, they could at least be awarded an official and a half position, so that they could all be regarded as embarking on official careers.
After arriving in Chang'an, Pei Qing met with these people in batches, and then quietly extracted their genes, and found that Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, Jiang Yu, Lu Yan, Lu Sheng and Li Long were all above 80, and their abilities were also very suitable for matching genes, which made Pei Qing very surprised, so he decided to match them with genes first.
