Chapter 140: Liangzhou Banner
The war north of Yanmen Pass has not completely ended, but Suning has quietly left this glorious land that belongs to him. Maybe for him, Liangzhou is the most suitable place for it to take root, and there is no prestige accumulation here yet, maybe after this battle, there will be a lot of legends about him in the local room, whether he is portrayed as a three-headed six-armed or some other image, he needs more time for the people to remember this name, at least the spread of rumors also takes time, not to pour his prestige to the sky, so he instead of staying here, let the people see a real him, It is better to leave endless reverie, and let the people who have returned to peace from the war imagine the rumored white-robed young general.
This was his first destination back to Liangzhou, not Hanyang County, where he was based, but Dunhuang County, which was located in the northwest of Hanyang County.
Zhang Huan, one of Suning's important allies who lived there.
Since the first righteous servant led by Hou Cheng has experienced many long-distance raids, and now he needs a long time to recuperate, and it is not suitable to go to the distant Dunhuang County with him, so this time he accompanied Suning Zhao Yun, who had cultivated in Beidi County for a while.
Along the way, Suning learned more about the war situation from Zhao Yun, and many of the scholars who came to Liangzhou through Wei Qi had already served as magistrates in Liangzhou, and their performance in this battle was also remarkable.
Cao Cao was one of the most brilliant among them, he actually led his army to fight against the invading enemy, not only keeping the territory under his jurisdiction, but also making a lot of beheading achievements. Although Zhuge Jue's performance is unsatisfactory, at least he can still guard the door, for him, Suning has no higher expectations, and he is worthy of the people of Liangzhou if he does this.
As for the performance of other people, at least it is a middle distance. I believe that after Wei Qi learned about these situations, he would definitely be happy to find that his months-long journey was not in vain.
The only news that makes people sad at this time of universal celebration is. Zhang Chang's father, Zhang Huan, had already received the news that he was critically ill, but he heard that the front line had just achieved a great victory, and he always insisted on seeing the mastermind of this victory, Suning, was willing to leave with peace of mind.
At this time, Zhang Chang hurriedly repaired the book, photographed the most cronies, and delivered it as quickly as possible, which was still in the hands of Suning in Yanmen County at that time.
After seeing the letter, Suning didn't say a word, took the sandalwood acacia he had captured, and rushed all the way to Dunhuang County.
There, Cao Cao had been waiting for a long time, and as one of the few local officials in the vicinity who dared to fight with the military police cavalry, he was received by Zhang Huan.
Cao Cao was very satisfied with this, and he even wanted Zhang Huan to support him to become the next helmsman of Liangzhou, at least as Suning. However, Zhang Huan was noncommittal about this, and always refused to give a clear answer, insisting that he could not give a general statement until Suning arrived.
So Cao Cao had no choice but to settle down and wait for Suning's arrival. For him, if he can gain control of Liangzhou and slowly develop it in the future, he will definitely make great achievements. After all, the Han court already has a tendency to be unable to control the clans in the territory, and there will be a day when the family will accumulate enough strength to resist the imperial court, but I don't know which of them will eventually enter the throne of the emperor.
As an aspiring young man, he didn't want to see the day when the family was not very old, and the main promiscuity would not only affect the life and death of the common people, but also completely overthrow the existing power structure of the upper-level officials.
So before that, he must have a base of his own, once there is an unpredictable situation in the world, he can also have his own capital to fight against those big families.
At this time, of course, he could not have predicted the Yellow Turban Rebellion that would break out three years later, and they did not know that there was also a force called the common people who were as hostile and hateful to the family as he was.
The common people could not have enough knowledge and insight to organize an effective rebellion because of the self-cherishing of the broom of the family, but they had their own folk culture, and when the time came, the momentum that affected the entire Han Dynasty would make everyone tremble.
But no matter what happens, Cao Cao needs a force of his own, so Liangzhou is the place he aspires to master.
By the time Suning arrived here, everything had changed. He rushed past Suning's star chasers and soon inquired about Su Ming's record in the past two months.
Regardless of his outstanding performances, even Suning himself fought a classic battle of winning more with less, using 600 warriors to repel 20,000 Xianbei cavalry, which was obviously unimaginable before, and then they actually rushed thousands of miles to rush from Beidi County to the aid of Yanmen County,
Moreover, he also personally made arrangements, using a Qiang tribe he had just recovered as a secret force to sneak attack the Xianbei royal court, and under the situation that the main force was confronted in Beidi County, the Xianbei royal court that had been taken down by thousands of miles to play Han Mountain, applied for Tanshi Huai, which had been unwilling to obey the Han court for 40 years.
Such brilliant military exploits, if placed in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid it would be enough to get a reward from a marquis.
In comparison, Cao Cao's achievements were even more insignificant, and his performance was even worse than Zhao Yun, who came here with Suning, who repelled 6,000 Xianbei cavalry who attacked Hanyang County almost single-handedly with his martial prowess under economic disadvantage.
Under such devastating feats, it is no wonder that Zhang Huan had to wait until Suning's arrival to say his deathbed plans.
In the afternoon of the same day. Accompanied by Zhang Chang, Suning and Cao Cao met Zhang Huan, who was already terminally ill.
described the withered generation of famous generals, after seeing Suning, they actually radiated strong vitality. He already had the eyes of God, staring at the 15-year-old boy, sometimes flashing a trace of doubt, sometimes a flash of appreciation.
In the end, he instructed his son to take out his testament and say it to Suning and the others present in as calm a tone as possible.
"By the time I swallow my breath, the era of Liangzhou Sanming is over. And as far as I know, there have been two characters in the table among your subordinates, and they are both good sons and daughters of Liangzhou. If you are added, there are just three people. In this way, Liangzhou's prestige will continue for at least another 50 years. But you are all still young, and your prestige in the officialdom is not high, so I have already nominated you as the martial power Taishou in the testament, and I hope you can lead them to raise the martial power of my Liangzhou! ”
