Seeing that Jinyang City was about to be breached, Ding Yuan sent people to ask for help, and Ma Chao gathered his subordinates to prepare to send troops. At this time, the displaced people in the royal court area were basically settled, and they could be ploughed in spring after the thaw. Except for Ma Dai's 10,000 Xiliang cavalry and Yang Yuan's 5,000 infantry army to guard the royal court, all the other generals gathered in Shangjun to listen to orders, including some Xiongnu magnates who submitted to him, such as Xu Bugu and Tian Hukang.
Ma Chao got up and said: "Now Shuofang, Jiuyuan, and Yunzhong have Han people and Xiongnu people cultivating and grazing, and the cities in this area are dilapidated and there is no danger to defend. ”
Pang De said: "What the young master said is very reasonable, Xianbei must not be destroyed, staying in the north is like a needle in the back, and it is always a problem for the henchmen!" The last general asks for orders to lead the army! ”
Fa Zheng after more than half a year of experience, although only thirteen years old, but the mind is quite mature, everywhere shows the wisdom of the first-class, heard the words also said: "Xianbei does not remove, the lord can not worry about the future, is the Xianbei people have been fighting for more than two months, slightly familiar with its human geography, willing to go with General Pang on the expedition!" ”
Ma Chao nodded, and asked again, "What does the King of the Mustu Bone think?" ”
Su Bu has no ambitions, every time he drinks and has fun with his wives and concubines in the royal court, he finally realizes the benefits of the ruler at this moment, and he hopes that the good words will continue, and he said: "My Huns and Xianbei are feuds, and I should go out with the general!" Xiao Wang still has 20,000 cavalry under his command, all of whom obey the general's dispatch! ”
"Good!" Ma Chao said loudly: "The general has already agreed with the general of Zhengxi, when the first day of the fourth month of April will send troops to attack Xianbei at the same time, how about the king of Xubu bone to send 10,000 Hun cavalry with the army?" ”
Xu Bugu said: "Xiao Wang has no objection, let Zuoxian Wang Tian Hukang lead 10,000 troops to the battle!" ”
"That being the case, Pang De, Fa Zheng, Tian Hukang, Han Jun, and Ma Zhi obey the order!"
"Mo will be!"
Ma Chao said: "Ming'er and the other five people led 20,000 Xiliang cavalry and 10,000 Hun cavalry, a total of 30,000 troops to conquer Xianbei, with Pang De as the main commander, Fa Zheng as the army, Tian Hukang, Han Jun, and Ma Zhi as deputy generals, immediately lead the troops to the royal court to assemble, and start the army in 20 days!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Ma Chao paused and said: "This time the 30,000 elite army is different from the past, while plundering materials, it is necessary to capture a large number of Xianbei elite population, hundreds of wastes on the prairie are waiting to be rebuilt, and the young and strong labor force is needed to continue to develop, and anyone who surrenders can not be killed, regardless of gender!" ”
"Obey!"
"In addition, hand over your respective Shenwei battalions to Ben to lead! The soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion were born and died with the general, and they were like brothers and sisters, and the general also promised to find a woman from a good Han family for them as a wife, and this time he was about to fulfill his promise! ”
"The lord is wise!" Pang De, Wang Shuang, Fa Zheng and others were overjoyed. More than 7,500 Shenwei soldiers are the capital of Ma Chao's beginning, and after more than half a year of fierce battles, there are now only more than 5,000 people left, and more than 2,000 people have been killed in battle. The army was also very tired, and it was time for them to rest for a while. Besides, now all the Xiliang cavalry and Southern Hun cavalry have been equipped with saddle pedals, and it is difficult for the Shenwei battalion to play the role of a "surprise soldier". Xianbei, Wuheng and the northern frontiers have also discovered the secret of saddle pedals, but the time is short, and there is no time to equip them on a large scale. At this time, if you take the Shenwei Camp to the Central Plains, you may be able to finally dissipate some residual heat.
After arranging the expedition of Pang De and several people, Ma Chao said: "The Southern Xiongnu rebelled against Fuluo and are operating in the area east of the river at the moment, and the general has decided to completely eradicate this tumor, and the king of the bones must support the five thousand cavalry of the general!" ”
Xu Bugu wanted to get rid of Yu Fuluo even more than Ma Chao, and immediately said: "What the general said is very true, Xiao Wang sent Khan to lead 5,000 cavalry to cross the river with the general to break the enemy, and wish the general a victory!" ”
Ma Chao said: "That's good, it's enough for Shangjun to stay in Fayan and Ma Tie, and there are 20,000 Xiliang elite soldiers stationed in the land of a county, and it is foolproof, and I will personally lead 10,000 troops to cross the river with Dian Wei, Wang Shuang, and Khan to solve the danger of Jinyang." ”
The Shenwei battalion under the command of Ma Xiu and Ma Dai had already been transferred to Shangjun, plus the troops of Ma Tie, Fa Zheng, Wang Shuang, and Pang De, just enough to make up the number of 5,000. Not only that, Ma Chao also transported the gold, silver and jewelry piled up in the royal court from Wuheng and Xianbei to Shangjun. This thing can't be born, and it will soon depreciate, and it must be exchanged for grain, iron, salt, cloth and other materials as soon as possible.
After three days, everything was ready, the temporary pontoon bridge built by the boatmen on the Yellow River near Shangjun was also ready, and the 10,000 cavalry and the 1,000 infantry led by Dian Wei crossed the Yellow River with only a small amount of grain and grass and baggage, and marched straight to Jinyang.
According to Ding Yuan's letter, Lu Bu and Gao Shun could not stop the offensive of the Baibo army due to the disparity in numbers, and now the Baibo army has invaded Taiyuan County and besieged Jinyang City for more than half a month. Fortunately, Jinyang City is a strong city, and there is enough grain and grass and 30,000 state troops to defend it, and the thief army is eager to break it. However, the subordinate counties of Taiyuan County were not so lucky, and they were almost plundered by the Baibo army, and only a few Shijia Wu Forts were still struggling to support.
Ma Chao did not take the White Bo Army to heart, his 10,000 iron cavalry was composed of 5,000 Shenwei battalions and 5,000 Hun cavalry, and his combat power was by no means comparable to the Baibo Army. The army marched for two days and then entered the territory of Taiyuan County, and the place where it passed was a mess, but the unfortunate ones were all the granaries of the county seat and the landlords, and the poor people did not suffer much.
Ma Chao couldn't help nodding secretly, Bai Bojun has been able to operate in the Hedong generation for more than ten years, and he really has merit. In these years, there were many wars, and it was extremely rare not to plunder the people. In history, the White Wave Army can grow stronger and stronger, and even Dong Zhuo is afraid of it, and this is the reason!
But the strange thing is that Ma Chao's army marched unhurriedly for two days, and until it was close to Fenshui, a large number of Baibo troops were not found, but a few small groups of horse thieves were wiped out. After sending scouts to inquire with the locals, they learned that the Bai Bo army had given up attacking Jinyang City three days ago, and turned back to Hedong County.
Ma Chao was secretly happy in his heart, the reason why he deliberately slowed down the march was to wait for the Baibo army to attack Jinyang for a long time and turn to Hedong County. His 10,000 reinforcements are menacing, it is impossible for Guo Tai and Yang Feng not to know, it is strange not to retreat. It is true that Ma Chao has 10,000 cavalry, but Yang Wan, Dong Xuan and his sister Ma Yunlu are all in the army, and there are more than 30 carriages of gold and silver and five baht, how can they easily fight with the Baibo army?
Knowing that the Baibo army was retreating, Ma Chao immediately ordered to speed up the march, and the army followed Fenshui and finally arrived outside Jinyang City in the second day. Ding Yuan got the news and personally led Gao Shun and Hou Chenger to lead more than 100 people out of the city to greet him.
Without waiting to get closer, Ma Chao slapped his horse and stepped forward to salute: "The little nephew reinforcements are late, please ask Uncle Ding for forgiveness!" ”
I haven't seen him for a few months, Ding Yuan is obviously much older, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, the thief army is powerful, and it is inevitable that our army will be defeated for a while, if it weren't for the virtuous nephew coming to help, the thief army may have to be captured in Taiyuan County for a few days!" ”
Ma Chao nodded and said: "Although my uncle can rest assured, there are many cavalry and few infantry troops under the command of the little nephew, and there are many mountains around Taiyuan County, which is not conducive to large-scale battles, but it is a big mistake for the white wave thieves to move to Hedong County to run rampant, and the little nephew immediately sent troops to destroy him, and by the way, he cleaned up the remnants of the Southern Huns in Fuluo!" ”
Ding Yuan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "With the descendants of Fubo, the old man can sit back and relax!" ”
After a few words of greeting between the two, Ding Yuan opened the city gate and led the army into the city. On the way, Ma Chao suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Brother Fengxian?" Last time, the hero relied on his mount to win, and he really won the victory, and this time he was about to confess to the first brother Feng! ”
Ding Yuan's face was strange for a while, and he said embarrassedly: "Feng Xian's small injury will be raised at home at this moment, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to disturb!" ”
Ma Chao felt disdain in his heart, will Lu Bu be injured? I didn't have the face to see myself before I deliberately dodged, and I didn't break it at the moment, and said with a slight smile: "I see!" Last time, the little nephew and Brother Feng Xian had a lot of conflicts because of the embroidery of the mother, and it was not the little nephew. But Lu Bu acted recklessly and well-intentioned, and this time he already had a grudge against his uncle, so he was afraid of being provoked and made a foolish move that was unfavorable to his uncle! ”
Ding Yuan frowned slightly, and pondered: "What the virtuous nephew said is good, Feng Xian has the courage of ten thousand people but it is difficult to become a great weapon, everything is bent on doing his own thing, and he does not listen to the advice of loyalty, and it is inevitable that he will make a big mistake in the future, but Feng Xian has followed the old man for more than ten years, and the old man has always treated him well, so how can he harm me?" ”
Ma Chao sighed secretly in his heart, you can't say that you are not as good as a beauty and a red rabbit horse in Lu Bu's heart, right? Then he changed the topic and said: "Bingzhou was a place where yellow turbans were raging back then, and now there are black mountain white waves in chaos, if these two chaotic armies are not removed, I am afraid that Bingzhou will never be peaceful!" ”
Ding Yuan sighed and suddenly asked, "Does the virtuous nephew know about the imperial court's appointment as a state pastor?" ”
Ma Chao nodded and said: "I have heard a little, Mrs. Liu is often the pastor of Yizhou, Mrs. Huang was promoted to the pastor of Yuzhou, and Liu Tingshi of Youzhou also received the pastor of Youzhou!" Uncle Fei Ding also wants to be promoted to the state pastor? If so, the little nephew immediately went to the table and recommended Uncle Ding as the pastor of the state! ”
Ding Yuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The old man is eight out of fifty, and he is no longer in his prime, so he really doesn't have the ability and energy to shepherd a state again!" In addition, the old man has both the position of Jinwu and the history of the state assassin, and he can't take care of it, so he intends to recommend the virtuous nephew as the pastor of the state, and the old man can also concentrate on performing the duties of the Jinwu, I don't know what the virtuous nephew wants? ”
Ma Chao was stunned, he didn't expect Ding Yuan to take the initiative to give him the state pastor, and he was a little at a loss for a while. Although he had the intention of winning the annexation state, he never thought of serving as the governor of the annexation state, because at this time, the annexation of the state was a mess in addition to the extremely important strategic location. Needless to say, Montenegro Baibo has its own economy and people's livelihood in a semi-paralyzed state, and civilian robbers and thieves can be seen everywhere, and more than half of the county is occupied by thieves. Throughout the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou has been fighting for decades and belongs to the first chaos; Qingzhou yellow turban thieves are everywhere, and there are water thieves rampant, which should be the second chaos; The third chaos is none other than the merger of states!
What's more important is that Ma Chao has always wanted to win Jizhou, which produces grain and talents, and it is not difficult to serve as a pastor of Jizhou at this moment, but once he becomes a pastor of Jizhou, he will have no chance with Jizhou. According to the Han Dynasty, a former official of the central government could concurrently hold a local official position, but it was absolutely impossible to concurrently hold two local official positions at the same time, let alone two state pastors.
