Chapter 14 The Return

After Yuan Yun and Ma Chao reached a consensus, Anding City was completely ceded, and Xiliang's army withdrew quickly, and they all went outside the city in less than an hour. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that Ma Chao still seems to have a lot of grievances, so the task of guarding more than 3,000 prisoners was handed over to 300 gunpowder soldiers.

Such a large incongruous proportion will naturally give some captives the courage of bears and leopards, but Yuan Yun is even more desperate, but those who do not squat on the ground honestly will be shot over with steel crossbows, and all those who dare to escape are blown to pieces by gunpowder shells.

After a few times, the captives could not be more honest, and everyone crouched on the ground and shivered, for fear that the terrible gunpowder bullet would be thrown into the middle of the crowd.

The chaos that Ma Chao envisioned did not happen, so he sighed deeply, and then commanded the army to start camping, he didn't plan to enter the city tonight, he just wanted to wait for Yuan Yun to leave, and then level this city, because there is no need for any city defense here, Xiliang doesn't need it, and Xiliang's potential enemies don't need it.

When Zhang Liao's army finally arrived, Ma Chao and Pang De were completely dead, and it was really the gunpowder army that came, and looking at the other party's neat lineup, they knew that these people were well-trained elites, and if they wanted to sneak attack such a team, unless they put all their 20,000 soldiers into it, even so, the odds of victory were only five or five, and at the same time, Xiliang would offend a force that should not be offended.

After learning this, Ma Chao immediately withdrew all the spies in the city, he had completely given up, and only wanted to take the stability well.

After Yuan Yun and Zhang Liao met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the two thousand gunpowder troops immediately took over the task of guarding the prisoners, and everything became more orderly.

When Zhang Liao saw those Zhang Lu's grain and grass, he immediately smiled and couldn't see his eyes, and at the same time put down a thousand catties of heavy stone in his heart, because Jia Xu had been complaining when he came, there was not much grain and grass left from Hanoi before, and I am afraid that the grain restriction time in the future will be longer and more harsh.

Now that the problem has been solved, and even the matter of transporting the grain and grass has been solved at the same time, three thousand strong laborers are waiting to be deployed in the prisoner camp, and there are so many people to use that Zhang Lu's grain and grass can still be emptied.

"This time, Duan Xuan in Chang'an didn't move at all, our spies have been staring at it, this guy hasn't even crossed the gate of Chang'an City recently, it seems that he was completely out of temper by Yuan Hou last time." After Zhang Liao finished laughing, he began to look at those granaries again, as if it was not enough to look at them.

Zhang Liao can actually say words that praise people, this is simply something that has never happened, it seems that he is in a very good mood.

So Yuan Yun also smiled and said, "What else can he do?" Although the imperial court gave him the right to open a mansion, but the territory of Chang'an is sparsely populated, even if he wants to recruit troops, there is no way, and some of the strength that he finally organized has also been served by me, and he really has nothing to do except swallow his anger in Chang'an City.

So I'm not worried about the team Duan Xuan, what I care about is Ma Chaoh in Xiliang, this time we got so much food, he will inevitably be resentful, this is not what I want to see, I just hope that the relationship can be improved later. ”

Zhang Liao was stunned and puzzled: "Why Ma Chao and not his son Ma Teng?" Even if Yuan Hou wants to worry, he should worry about this person, and his son can't be the master. ”

Yuan Yun pinched his cheeks, feeling that he couldn't explain the reason to Zhang Liao, so he directly diverted the topic and asked, "Brother Cao Ang, has you got an edict from the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Liao smiled, took out a document covered with a jade seal from his arms, and then replied: "The edict is naturally coming, but it does not say that stability is occupied by Zhang Lu, but it is portrayed as a group of mountain bandits. ”

Yuan Yun heard Zhang Liao say this, and hurriedly took the edict and read it, and sure enough, Anding County was described as rampant bandits, so the imperial court sent troops to fight the thieves, which has reassured the local people.

Cao Cao seems to be planning to appease Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu is far away in Hanzhong, can he take care of him? Could it be that this old man has any other ideas? Thinking about it like this, I remembered my so-called senior brother Ge Xuanlai, who left Xu Du very early, and I don't know where he went.

Flipping through the edict in his hand again, Yuan Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth, this Ge Xuan is estimated to have been sent to Hanzhong, after all, they are all from the Daomen, and they should get along with Zhang Lu very well, but the purpose behind this is probably not so upright.

After thinking in his heart, Yuan Yun didn't think about Ge Xuan anymore, but said to Zhang Liao: "As soon as General Zhang comes, Ma Chao estimates that he won't dare to mess around, this return should be smooth, it's better for us to go back all the way and clean up all those cottages and bandits along the way, which can be regarded as making some contributions to the stability of the Han Dynasty." ”

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and immediately disdainful in his heart, what to contribute to the Han Dynasty, Yuan Yun simply wanted to rob these copycat bandits, but before he himself led less than four hundred people, and with a heavy cannon, so he gave up the action, and now seeing that the two thousand gunpowder army he brought was powerful, he started to think about it.

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, hugged his fists and said, "Everything is at the command of Yuan Hou." ”

After speaking, Zhang Liao glanced left and right, and then sent his entourage to the side, Yuan Yun saw Zhang Liao's behavior and understood, so he also separated Shi Shen and Xiao Liuzhi.

Zhang Liao saw that there was no one else around the two, so he arched his hand and said: "Kong Rong has resigned from the post of general appointed by the imperial court, and now it is replaced by Sima Yi, and Sima Yi has arrived in Luoyang at this moment." ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he was puzzled: "The general will be the official of the capital, what is the place where he came here?" Luoyang is the city commander, even if he comes, he can't interfere with anything, which is very strange. ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "It's not strange at all, because the imperial court appointed him to supervise the repair of the old palace in Luoyang." ”

"What?" Yuan Yun was taken aback, and then remembered that there was a huge old palace in Luoyang, although it was burned clean by Dong Zhuo, but the remaining foundations were still there, and some palace buildings were still intact, as long as they were repaired, they could still be restored to their original appearance.

It's just that this expense is definitely not a small number, once the imperial court decides to repair the palace, then Luoyang's labor will inevitably be mobilized, and maybe other resources will also be put in, which is definitely not a happy news.

Zhang Liao looked at Yuan Yun's expression and sighed, and said: "The order of the imperial court is to hope that we can assist Sima Yi in repairing the palace, but there is no specific arrangement, but the imperial court has not issued a single money or grain, it seems that we still have to find a way to do these things." ”

Yuan Yun secretly snorted hooligans, this is obviously robbery, in order for Luoyang to be stable and prosperous, he Yuan Yun has been desperately trying his life to get food around, but he didn't expect the imperial court to make such a mess behind his back.

What did Cao Cao think, it was originally a very difficult thing to rebuild Luoyang, and now he even agreed to let Sima Yi repair the palace, he really thought that he Yuan Yun would turn money into food?

After being silent for a while, Yuan Yun sighed: "Let's wait until we go back, now we don't know what the situation in Luoyang is when we discuss it here, only when we see Sima Yi's goods, can we know what they want to do." ”

Zhang Liao nodded and said: "It can only be like this, so Yuan Hou should return as soon as possible, as for the matter of escorting this batch of grain and grass and crusading against the bandits along the way, leave it to me to deal with, Yuan Hou only needs to return all the way, and there is no need to worry about other things." ”

Yuan Yun snorted, and then immediately recruited Shi Shen and Xiaoliu, and asked Li He to divide the Yuan Mansion generals in the team, prepare to leave early tomorrow morning, and then go straight back to Luoyang, and prepare earlier to deal with Sima Yi.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Yun saw that Zhang Liao was still directing the soldiers to divert the grain, and then escorted the prisoners to work hard, and the craftsmen who came with the army had already cut a large amount of wood on the outskirts of the city, and were hurrying to build a batch of trucks out at the moment.

Looking at the assembled truck, Yuan Yun immediately praised Ma Jun a few words, this guy is indeed very smart, and very practical, he has prepared a lot of metal firmware, and even the axles have been prepared a lot, these things can be checked in with only two trucks, but when it is needed, as long as the trees are cut down and split into wood, countless carts can be assembled immediately.

After walking around the granary, Yuan Yun chose to return to his tent, and he needed to hurry back to Luoyang early tomorrow morning, and now he needed to take a good rest.

The night was already very deep, Yuan Yun listened to the sound of the continuous shipment of grain outside the tent, and gradually fell asleep, although it was very noisy, but he slept very sweetly, because after having so much food, anyone's heart will be much more steady.

On the morning of the second day, the sun had just appeared, Yuan Yun had already washed up, and the horses outside the camp were all ready, but this time Yuan Yun did not choose his old mare, but asked for a good horse from Zhang Liao, because the sooner he returned, the better, who knows what the hell Sima Yi is thinking.

Zhang Liao still had a lot of things to do to escort grain and grass, so he just hurriedly sent Yuan Yun and the others to the east gate of Anding, and the two told each other some follow-up plans, and then waved goodbye.

Yuan Yun has practiced his riding skills well in the past few years, although he is still not as skilled as Shi Shen and Xiaoliu, but there is no problem in controlling ordinary horses, and he has a powerful stirrup available, so he also rides very steadily.

More than 30 people shuttled quickly on a white land, and the weather was still very cold, so people and horses were constantly exhaling white gas when they ran, and it was not until the afternoon that they chose a mountain area to rest.

When resting, everyone is wiping the sweat of the mounts, horses sweat a lot in such cold weather, if they are not dealt with early, they will inevitably get sick, for warriors, cherish horses more than themselves.

So Yuan Yun could only learn from others and began to serve his new car, but this horse didn't seem to agree with Yuan Yun as the owner, so he always walked around very dishonestly, and Yuan Yun was constantly chasing after him with a piece of dry cloth.

Xiao Liu finally couldn't stand it anymore, and after serving his mount, he was about to help Yuan Yun, but he was stopped by Shi Shen before he could move, only to hear Shi Shen shake his head and say: "The main bus is replaced, and no one else is allowed to help, only saying that if you don't learn these things, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the future." ”

Xiao Liu smiled, nodded and said: "Why is the lord so diligent all of a sudden, he can sit on weekdays and never stand, and he can lie down and never sit, it's really strange today." ”

Shi Shen glanced at Yuan Yun, who was still busy, and then replied to Xiao Liu: "The lord was kidnapped by that Liu Bei before, and because he didn't know the nature of horses on the way to escape, he could only run with his legs, and it is estimated that he must have suffered a lot of losses." ”

Xiao Liu nodded, didn't say anything, but took the forage and began to feed his mount, and Yuan Yun finally wiped the horse's whole body at this moment, and when he saw Xiao Liu's feeding, he also began to read from the book.

After half an hour of trimming, the team set off again, and then all the trails were mountainous, so no one dared to ride horses again, and everyone was holding the reins in one hand and touching the wall in the other.

Although the mountain road here is not very steep, but it is very narrow, the road can only be passed by one person, and it is a relatively difficult section, the reason why you choose to pass here is because the straight-line distance here is the shortest, and you can also save a lot of long roads around the mountain.

Yuan Yun led the horse all the way, his eyes kept glancing at Zhao Yun in front of him, this thing seemed to be very unstable, not at all like the usual style, that Zhao Yun, who was unusually calm and never panicked, was always looking around at the moment, looking a little anxious.

Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Yuan Yun was constantly beating the drum in his heart, and he always had a bad premonition.
