Chapter 88: Ma Teng's Surrender

The day after the meeting, almost all the generals left Chang'an.

In addition to Lu Su and Chen Zhi sitting in Chang'an, Zhang Ren was sent to Luoyang, and the governors of the other counties and counties were also urgently sent from Chengdu. As for the commanders of the counties, they were drawn from the young cadres of the army, and they were asked to recruit and train the guards of the counties and counties on the spot.

For Liu Xie's 'irresponsible' behavior of throwing everything to himself, Lu Su said that he had a lot of headaches.

But the blame is only on him for putting forward a plan to let Liu Xie move the capital to Chang'an and build Luoyang, but Liu Xie was left behind to coordinate the overall situation.

For this, Lu Su can't say that Liu Xie doesn't value him, and actually leaves him in the rear or something. Because he values it too much, he is left to take charge of the overall situation. Of course, on the Chengdu side, the manpower will be transferred by him at will, and the business and trade association will cooperate with his plan.

As for the reconstruction of Luoyang, Liu Xie also had an overall plan, and Lu Su just grasped the overall situation here and acted according to the plan. Anyway, the money to rebuild Luoyang, those noble families will definitely take the initiative. As long as Liu Xie proposes to rebuild Luoyang, I believe that those noble families will definitely come back, especially those profit-seeking merchants. In this way, the construction cost can be fully recovered by selling the 'land storefront' alone.

And Lu Su stayed in Chang'an temporarily, just to deal with the envoy sent by Lao Yuan, and it was naturally possible to form an alliance with Lao Yuan, but this matter could not be done too openly, let alone him, a great man. If he ran out to receive Lao Yuan's envoy, wouldn't it be too bad?

And wouldn't that be tantamount to recognizing Lao Yuan's legal status in disguise? Although Lao Yuan's strength is very strong. made him have to admit that Lao Yuan was a character, a character who could threaten him, but this tacit admission was very different from indirect recognition.

Therefore, to receive them at this time, the only one below can come forward. And he couldn't be there yet, after all, Lao Yuan didn't come to descend the table.

As for the problems of several passes around Luoyang, Liu Xie had long thought that Lao Cao would not give up easily. But it doesn't matter, as long as they don't join forces.

Of course, even if they join forces, Liu Xie is not worried. It's a big deal to return to Yizhou. When they do do it, don't blame him for stabbing them in the ass. Will they join forces to enter Yizhou together? Liu Xie was not worried at all.

Allies, especially allies like Lao Yuan and Lao Cao, it is too simple to want to separate. Not to mention. He built Luoyang. Then he led his troops to attack the Western Regions. Isn't this just a signal to them that he is not going to intervene in the war between them. There's no time to meddle either!

The Western Regions haven't recovered yet! Of course, they would never have thought that Liu Xie's ultimate goal was actually to go around Lao Yuan's back to stab him in the chrysanthemum, and when they were almost done, they could also pick up Lao Cao's cheapness. If you can, it's not a problem to attack Lao Cao in one go.

Regarding the plan proposed by Liu Xie, the bigwigs of the three military aircraft departments were all cold and secretly pumped at the beginning, because this plan was too huge. In order to realize this possibility, according to Liu Xie's plan, it is necessary to recover the Western Regions first, and then enter Xianbei in the north from the Western Regions, and then go around in a circle and come to the back of the two states of Youhe......

You know, it's a long-term battle! What about supplies? Lu Su, an honest man, naturally would not think of such a 'cruel' way of raising war by war. But Jia Xu, an old poison, easily thought of what Liu Xie wanted to do.

However, Liu Xie had to say that Jia Xu's goods were really poisonous and made people feel cold, he felt that if it was used to raise war in this way, those captives should not be kept, and they would be killed directly, anyway, they are also aliens, just treat them as pigs and dogs!

Hearing that this old guy who had never spoken much suddenly proposed such a 'vicious' way, even Guo Jia, who had an indifferent face, looked ugly, let alone Lu Su, a good old man. So he reminded Liu Xie in a very tactful way that he couldn't do such a cruel thing, aliens are also people!

Jia Xu laughed, and sneered. Because in his eyes, he has seen too many things about aliens bullying Han people.

In the eyes of aliens, in fact, the Han people are pigs and dogs, pigs and dogs that can be given and requested, as long as they fail to collect and rob the Han people, it is certain. That's why there's always war going on on the frontier.

When the Han Dynasty was strong, it was fine, but now that the Han Dynasty is weak, those aliens have long been ready to move. If it weren't for the death of Tan Shihuai, his son and Lian were not as intelligent as their father, and they were greedy and ferocious, which led to civil strife in Xianbei, and several major leaders attacked each other, they would have gone south to attack Han a long time ago.

In the end, Liu Xie clapped his hand and said: "Although the aliens are cruel and greedy, not all of them are like this. Wen He and Zijing's words are right, yes, I came up with an idea, to fight with war, and to fight with those prisoners, as long as you want to be free, then use military merit in exchange, if you want a woman, then you have to use military merit to return, I call it a 'beggar army'. As for the old and weak women and children who could not participate in the war, let them work, paving roads from the Western Regions all the way to Chang'an...... As long as those people have served for three years, they can be given the status and status of Han people, and they can be broken up and integrated into the rest of the states and counties......"

Hearing Liu Xie's suggestion, the eyes of the three military advisors all lit up, and they didn't seem to expect Liu Xie to have such an idea.

This idea can't be said to be bad, but too good. According to Liu Xie, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Liu Xie's idea cannot but be said to be a bold attempt, but it is completely feasible. It's just that those who are old and weak also need to consume money and food, which is a bottomless pit.

However, Jia Xu sneered, "If those old and weak die on the project, it is also a very normal thing......

“……”

Lu Su and Guo Jia were a little speechless, thinking that this old guy was really vicious! Although they are also resourceful, and sometimes the conspiracy is quite insidious, but compared to this old guy's vicious mind, it is really no different from a good baby!

Liu Xie was also quite speechless, but although Jia Xu's words were vicious, they were actually for the sake of the overall situation. Of course, if you think about the history of alien invasions that have not yet happened in history or history, Liu Xie does not feel that it is so vicious.

In the end, everyone agreed to Liu Xie's proposal, and then Liu Xie made an arrangement to leave Lu Su in Chang'an to receive those envoys. By the way, let him take Brother Zhu, the matter of fighting the war, for the time being, does not need Brother Zhu to participate, let him do logistics is better than fighting.

Anyway, now under his command Liu Xie, there is no shortage of military divisions, and the Western Expedition does not need so many military divisions.

Moreover, thinking about the fierce generals under his own demons, Liu Xie has some expectations, let these fierce generals gallop across the desert with their subordinates, what kind of situation is that?

Unfortunately, this time, he did not plan to go with the army, because he had to go back to Chengdu to sit in the town and attract the attention of others to Yizhou. It is convenient for these fierce people under his command to carry out their own bottom-hunting plan.

As for going to Xiliang, it is natural to accept the surrender of Ma and Han, and by the way, take Ma and Han to settle in Chengdu!

The matter of moving the capital, because he wanted to let Lao Yuan and Lao Cao rest assured that they were fighting, Liu Xie had to stop it temporarily. To the outside world, it is natural that Chang'an is dilapidated, Luoyang needs to be rebuilt, the Western Regions needs to be recovered, money and food are tight, and there is no ability to move the capital for the time being.

This can also reassure Lao Yuan and Lao Cao, you see, I have gone to fight the Western Regions, and I have no ability to meddle in the bad things between you, you can fight with confidence!

When you finish fighting, I will also recover the Western Regions, and then rebuilding the Western Regions is another big investment, so don't worry!

……

On this day, Liu Xie led the army to Tianshui Ji County, and Ma Teng really led a group of men to greet him outside Ji County. Ma Dai and Ma Chao, as well as Pang De, are among them, and even Ma Teng's second son, who is also his sister-in-law, Ma Xiu.

Although it was the first time I saw Ma Teng, Liu Xie had seen Ma Teng's paintings, but as soon as he saw such a mighty man, Liu Xie had to sigh, sure enough, it was a tiger father without a dog! Only such a mighty person will give birth to a fierce man like Ma Chao!

In Ma Teng's introduction, there were many Qiang leaders next to him, and it turned out that they were also here to join the ministers.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xie was even happier, these Qiang leaders are also quite cute! Actually willing to add chips to Ma Teng.

In fact, Ma Teng did not mention these Qiang leaders in the table, but now they have appeared. It can be explained that Ma Teng should be afraid that he Liu Xie would use the matter of Li Guo and the two thieves to pressure him, so he brought these Qiang leaders in to increase his bargaining chips.

I have to say that Ma Teng played beautifully. Because in this way, Liu Xie has a lot less to do. Originally, Liu Xie intended to let Ma Chao collect and report on those Qiang and Di people, but now it seems that Ma Chao can follow the westward expedition!

With this militant, the Western Expedition must be a lot of fun, and Liu Xie wanted to join in the fun, but ...... No!

Liu Xie is somewhat regretful, you must know that it is rare to see so many fierce generals together. And there are also a group of second- and third-rate generals to follow, such as Ma Teng's eight generals in the original history, and later Han Sui's eight generals, who are now all taken by Liu Xie to participate in the Western Expedition.

Save these people from staying in the guanzhong and having nothing to do, and add more trouble.

As Ma Teng went to the Jixian County Office, the two talked and laughed, as if what had happened between them before had never existed at all. When Ma Teng saw Liu Xie's appearance, he sighed secretly in his heart, his three sons are really much worse than this young emperor!

Although Ma Chao is very brave, he doesn't know how to be flexible, and although the second son Ma Chao is more sleek than Ma Chao, he is not as authoritative as Ma Chao.

And just when the two were talking and laughing, suddenly a coquettish voice came.

"It's you!" (To be continued......)
