Zhang Bao stayed in Qinghe City for ten days, and after Li Ru had completely stabilized the situation in Youzhou, he took Jia Xu, Hua Xiong, Wen Chou, and Tian Feng to Chang'an. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Zhang Bao decided to take over Liangzhou.
Zhang Bao came to Chang'an, first announced the appointment of Hua Xiong, Wen Chou, and Tian Feng, and then took Jia Xu, Hua Xiong, Hou San and other special combat personnel to Zhang He's camp.
"Lord, you're here!" Zhang He, who received the news, personally went out of the camp to greet Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao smiled and said to Zhang He: "Youyi has worked hard! Does your head still hurt? ā
"No, my lord! Since the lord treated his subordinates, the head has never passed. Lord, Ma Chao has already come to see his subordinates. The subordinates ordered him to wait for the news of the lord in Huaili City opposite," Zhang He said to Zhang Bao gratefully.
Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this: "Ma Chao has no problem over there, as long as he can convince his father, don't worry about anything." Junyi, I have appointed you as the assassin of Bingzhou, and Lu Yi and Xun Chen are your assistants, you can hand over this place to General Wenchou and go to Bingzhou to take office. ā
"Thank you for your kindness!" Zhang He bowed and hugged his fists.
Zhang Bao hugged Zhang He and said with a smile: "The ability of righteousness is there, and it is more than enough to be a thorn." By the way, after you take office, you must quickly assemble troops, and then concentrate in the direction of Yanmen Pass. ā
"Does the lord want to use troops against the Hu captives outside the Saiwai?" Zhang He frowned when he heard this.
Zhang Bao waved his hand: "It's not a nonsense!" They are also our brothers, but they don't want to admit it! I asked you to gather troops, and I really have the intention of conquering the north. But not to conquer the Hu, but to save them. At the latest, in more than two years, they will be enslaved by the Devourer lurking among them, and then it will be a tragic path for their fate. But we certainly can't sit idly by. You do some preparation first. If the time comes, I will definitely lead the army myself. ā
"My subordinates understand! The subordinates obey the orders of the lord. Zhang He hugged his fists.
Zhang Bao nodded and smiled: "Let's go, let's go meet Ma Chao together." Let's see how he's preparing! ā
"My lord, please! Hua Thorn Shi asked "Zhang He to salute Zhang Bao, and then first sent a probe horse to report to Ma Chao, and then crossed Weishui with Zhang Bao, Jia Xu, and Hua Xiong, and went to Huaili City.
Outside Huaili City, Ma Teng's father and son, who got the news, have already led all their subordinates to welcome Zhang Bao's arrival outside Huaili City.
After Zhang Bao arrived, Ma Chao took the lead in stepping forward and hugged his fists and said: "I've seen the lord!" ā
Zhang Bao nodded and smiled at Ma Chao: "How are you preparing?" ā
"Back to my lord, everything goes well! I also hope that the lord can treat his father and brothers as soon as possible, they are now suffering from headaches every night! Recently, I have started to have headaches during the day. Ma Chao hugged his fists.
Zhang Bao smiled slightly when she heard this: "Don't worry!" Tell me about your father and your brothers. ā
Ma Chaoyu pointed to the middle-aged man behind him and said: "Lord, this is my father Ma Teng, behind my father is my cousin Ma Dai, on the left of Ma Dai is General Pang De, and the female general is my sister Ma Yunlu, and behind Yunlu is my two younger brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie." ā
"I've seen the lord!" Everyone in the Ma family hugged Zhang Bao in unison.
Zhang Bao happily clasped his fists and said, "Welcome all the heroes of the Ma family to join the Qingzhou Army with General Pang." Come with me, and I'll treat you first. ā
Zhang Bao learned from Lin Feng that once the devouring started, it could not be stopped, and the final result was either successful devouring or being counterattacked. Therefore, Zhang Bao was not afraid of the invaders in the souls of Ma Teng and others knowing his purpose.
Zhang Bao returned to the City Lord's Mansion of Huaili City with Ma Teng and the others, and then Zhang Bao let Ma Teng and the others enter his room one by one. Zhang Bao asked Ma Chao to watch from the sidelines.
Ma Chao was surprised to see Zhang Bao's third eye pull out a soul body from the heads of Ma Teng and the others, and then disappear after ingesting his third eye. Because Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Yunlu are not military generals yet, their spirits are fine.
After Ma Teng, Ma Dai, and Pang De were stripped of the intruders in their minds, they all felt extremely refreshed. The three of them thanked Zhang Bao together after Zhang Bao and Ma Chao came out.
Zhang Bao said to the three of them: "I hope you understand one thing, now it is not a struggle within our Han Dynasty, but a fight between us and those outsiders, we can't let those outsiders destroy our homeland, so we must unite and work together with the outside world, do you understand?" ā
"Subordinates remember the teachings of the Lord! Please rest assured that his subordinates will follow him to drive out those outsiders. Ma Teng and the three of them promised.
Zhang Bao nodded and looked at Ma Teng and said: "Shoucheng, your prestige in Xiliang is quite high, I want to keep you in Xiliang to temporarily assist Huaxiong in rectifying Liangzhou, and Pang De will also stay." Ma Chao's brothers and sisters want to go with me, what do you think? ā
Hearing this, Ma Teng hugged his fists and said: "Subordinates take orders!" The subordinates absolutely obey the arrangement of the lord! His subordinates and General Pound should do their best to assist Hua Thorn Shi. ā
Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "Okay! If only you could accept my arrangement. How many soldiers do you have now? ā
"There are more than 70,000 cavalry, and there are 40,000 in Huaili City. The remaining 30,000 are distributed in other cities in Liangzhou. Ma Teng hugged his fists.
Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this: "Give these soldiers and horses to Hua Thorn Shi to settle down." ā
"Subordinates take orders!" Ma Teng hugged his fists.
Zhang Bao turned to Hua Xiong behind him and said, "Hua Xiong, plus the defenders in the Chang'an area, you have more than 100,000 iron horsemen in your hands." Send the old and weak of these soldiers and horses home, and then divide the remaining soldiers and horses to General Ma Teng and General Pang De with 5,000 each, and the rest will be divided equally between you and General Wen Chou. It is necessary to be more vigilant in the direction of Yizhou. ā
"Subordinates receive orders! Please rest assured! Hua Xiong clenched his fists and took his life.
Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Okay, the matter here is over, you stabilize the overall situation first, and I'll go to Jingzhou to have a look." Cao Cao, I'm still not at ease. ā
"Lord, it's too dangerous for you to do this!" Jia Xu, Hua Xiong and Zhang He hugged their fists together.
Zhang Bao smiled slightly when she heard this: "This time it's really not dangerous, I went to Jingzhou mainly to find someone." This is still because of the reason why I saw Yunlu. I have to find this person, or I'll miss our big deal. In addition to the special combat team, I will also take the Meng Qi brothers and sisters. ā
Hearing this, Ma Chao hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Please rest assured!" As long as Ma Chao is there, no one can hurt the lord! ā
Zhang He is very clear about Ma Chao's combat power, this is definitely an existence born for war. He didn't say anything when he heard this, Hua Xiong couldn't say anything more, and Jia Xu knew who Zhang Bao was looking for, so he didn't stop it.
Zhang Bao then said goodbye to everyone, and took Jia Xu, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Yunlu, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, the special combat team and Jia Xu's follower Hu Che'er out of Huaili City.
Everyone rested on Tongguan for a night, and then Zhang Bao directly summoned the white wildebeest, ordered everyone to ride together, and then quickly went to Nanyang County.
After meeting Zhang Xiu in Nanyang, Zhang Bao introduced everyone. Then Zhang Bao remembered the miracle doctor Zhang Ji. So he visited Zhang Ji with everyone again.
At Zhang Ji's house, Zhang Ji was excited that Zhang Bao could come to visit him, and he still clearly remembered Zhang Bao's promise to him. Zhang Ji welcomed Zhang Bao and his party into the house and said: "Zhang Zhoumu can come to me as a guest in his busy schedule, Zhongjing feels very honored!" ā
Zhang Bao looked at Zhang Ji and smiled: "Doctor Zhang is too polite!" I'm here to discuss the matter of apprenticeship with you, I don't know what Doctor Zhang has been thinking about recently? ā
"Huh! Zhongjing has been looking forward to it for a long time! Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhoumu still took this matter to heart. Zhongjing is grateful! Zhang Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed.
Zhang Bao nodded and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, don't go with me now, you go back to Fenggaocheng." After arriving in Fenggaocheng, you selected thirty young people who were really fond of medicine and thirty military doctors with medical skills from among the army and those who had taken refuge in us, and then brought them over to Zhongjing. I'll do the rest when I get back to Bongao. ā
"Subordinates receive orders! Take care all the way! Jia Xu hugged his fists. Zhang Bao smiled slightly, and Jia Xu left with Hu Che'er.
After Jia Xu left, Zhang Bao took out 10,000 silver and handed it to Zhang Jidao: "This 10,000 silver will be used as the start-up capital for the early stage of the divine doctor, and I will give the divine doctor more gold and silver to help the divine doctor spread medicine in the future." ā
"That's enough! Thank you Zhang Zhoumu! Zhang Ji thanked again and again.
Zhang Bao chatted with Zhang Ji again, and Zhang Ji checked Zhang Bao's injury again, and then said goodbye to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao left Zhang Jifu and said goodbye to Zhang Xiu without going far, but he left Ma Xiu and Ma Tie to Zhang Xiu, and left with Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Yunlu and the special combat team.
