Chapter 79: Ma's Ascendancy
Regardless of whether he is interested in the big man or not, in fact, whether it is Fang Yun or the generals under his command, they all know that only the territory that they really take is their own.
Probably next year, Fang Yun will transfer Liu Yu to Jinyang, and then take over the military affairs of Youzhou. Liu Yu's son Liu He has been living in Jinyang as Liu Wei's classmate for a while, and during this time, he often wrote back to tell Liu Yu about Liu Wei's situation, when he learned that Liu Wei had not been wronged, and Fang Yun was indeed carrying out his master's duties.
Even if Fang Yun was actually arrogance and unauthorized power, Liu Yu felt that if Liu Wei really ordered him to go to Jinyang to take up his post, then it would be nothing for him to go. In fact, Liu He has always said that the prosperity of Jinyang is becoming more and more not inferior to Luoyang, and Liu Yu also wants to go and see it, mainly because he wants to see the situation of his nephew Liu Wei.
On the other hand, Gong Jing and Tao Qian are not children of the Han family, so they also have their own ambitions, and it may be okay for them to cooperate with them, but it is obviously impossible for them to give up their status as state pastors.
On the other hand, Ma Teng was originally a rebel, and although he now proclaimed himself Wuwei Taishou, and Han Sui also proclaimed himself Jincheng Taishou, in fact, their identities have not been recognized by the imperial court.
The two sworn brothers also fought because of interests, and Ma Teng's teenage son Ma Chao fought with Yan Xing, who was already an adult, and was almost killed. It's just that Ma Chao is also a real genius, and now I'm afraid that the force has far surpassed Yan Xing, right?
According to Guo Jia's original intention, it was to recruit Ma Teng into Jinyang, detain him, and at the same time provoke a fight between Han Sui and Ma Teng's forces, and then make a profit.
This strategy can be regarded as a copy of Cao Cao's deal with Ma Teng in the future, in fact, according to the official history, Ma Teng and his two sons originally mixed well in Yecheng, and they were also Han officials, but Ma Chao raised troops against Cao, which caused all three of them to be killed.
It's just that Ma Chao is also wronged. Just because Cao Cao wanted to use the road to crusade against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong at that time. With his bad record, who knows if he wants to attack Cao Cao with a false way, coupled with Han Sui's instigation, this is not Ma Chao and Han Sui's cavalry to attack Cao Cao. Cao Cao's crusade against Zhang Lu naturally had to be terminated. It is not difficult to understand that he is angry with Ma Teng and his two sons.
At that time, Cao Cao was only afraid that he really planned to let Ma Chaozhen guard Xiliang, just because it was not only a barbaric land that could not get much tax, but also the invasion of the Qiang people or Xianbei people in front of it, although the countries in the Western Regions were independent. But there are also a few careerists.
Let Ma Chao be in front, and then eat all the other territories first, and then go back and take it in, it's really a few in one fell swoop.
But Fang Yun didn't need to have this concern, on the contrary, there was no big force in Guanzhong now, although Wang Yun and Lu Bu still occupied Chang'an, they were the biggest force in Guanzhong, but they were nothing in front of Han Sui and Ma Teng.
On the contrary, if Ma Teng or Han Sui were allowed to seize the land of Guanzhong, they would have the ability to conquer the Quartet. This is the situation that Fang Yun is most unwilling to see. Especially in this process, how to ensure the purity of Ma Teng's loyalty to Dahan?
The most important thing is that if the land of Guanzhong gives them another scourge, it will not be difficult to build it in the future.
So in the past, Guo Jia and Fang Yun had the same meaning, that is, to kill the most threatening Ma Teng, and then support Han Sui, who had little ability. At the same time, while the two sides were fighting, they sent troops to attack the two, and the fisherman benefited. Completely recover the two states of Yongliang.
It's just that now that Gongsun Chan is dead, the battle for Jizhou is urgent, and there is no way to divide troops to attack Liangzhou at this time. Unless it is to feed the enemy, I am afraid that the supply of military rations will become a problem.
A few days later. Ma Teng came to Jinyang with his two sons, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie. Yu Xing replaced Zhang Ji's identity in this time and space, and persuaded Ma Teng to give up his identity as Wuwei Taishou and come to Jinyang to take up his post. At the same time, he has preliminarily communicated with Han Sui, although there is no result yet, but it can be seen that Han Sui is actually quite moved.
In fact, according to Guo Jia's intentions, it was impossible for Yu Xing to be able to incite Han Sui to fight against Ma Teng in one breath. However, Ma Chao was originally young and vigorous. Therefore, he only needs to send someone to provoke him to cause trouble, and then further sow discord, which may not be able to persuade Han Sui to strike first. It's just that now this plan is about to be shelved.
On the contrary, he even had to find a way to hand over some of Han Sui's small actions to Ma Teng, and then provide a batch of ordnance materials or something, so that Ma Teng could destroy this righteous brother first.
"Wu Wei is too guarded by Ma Teng, and he has seen the general!" Ma Teng came to Fang Yun and saluted seriously.
After Fang Yun conquered Dong Zhuo's remnants, he didn't plan to do it in one step, just promote to the hussar general first, but who knew that Guo Jia said: If you don't go up, how can you let the people below rise up? What are others talking to you for, don't they have the meaning of making meritorious contributions and worshipping the prime minister?
Fang Yun felt that it also made sense, so under Liu Wei's announcement, he became the general of the Han Dynasty and was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Although Ma Teng is considered a martial arts guard, let alone a civil servant, in front of Fang Yun, he still saluted obediently.
In fact, it can be regarded as a pier, after all, it is not good to come to someone else's territory to work.
"Shou Cheng's heart is to the Han Dynasty, and he is a model for the world's generals! No need to be polite, everyone will be colleagues in the future, and we must work together! Fang Yun also came to him in person and helped him up.
"Since Ma is a citizen of the Han Dynasty, it is also his duty to contribute to the Han Dynasty." Ma Teng also returned to the rules and regulations.
"Haha, Shoucheng doesn't need to be so outside, look at what this is!" Fang Yun smiled and handed over an edict.
Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and then opened the edict with Fang Yun's encouragement, only to see that the edict was impressively written, and he was named the deputy commander of the armed police (Guo Jia is the commander), Huaili Hou, serving in Jinyang; As for the two sons, they were both named cavalry captains and served under Huang Zhong and Xu Huang respectively; As for Ma Chao, he is a former general, the Marquis of Guannei, guarding Liangzhou.
Whether it is a cavalry lieutenant or a former general, Ma Teng still knows it, but he doesn't know what the position of the deputy commander of the armed police is.
Fang Yun told him that this was an internal army formation, which was his first initiative (plagiarism). In fact, it is placed in the Great Han, which is the troops under Fang Yun's command, some unexpected situations, or riots to carry out operations. As the deputy commander, he is mainly in charge of the guard troops, and is specifically responsible for the escort work of the central leadership or important local leaders.
Strictly speaking, it was the guard of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Fang Yun replaced many administrative institutions.
When Ma Teng heard this, he was immediately a little excited, after all, this is also one of the Nine Emperors of the Great Han, but he just thinks that it is appropriate for Fang Yun to change the official name of the Great Han like this? It's just that since Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty didn't talk nonsense, he naturally wouldn't say anything.
In fact, now Fang Yun has changed the official position of the central government to the same extent, and did not use the system of three provinces and six ministries, and directly jumped to the administrative model of later generations. Thankfully, there is a shortage of talent, so there won't be a whole bunch of deputy positions. But in the future, it will be difficult to guarantee, after all, there will only be more and more talents.
The experiment has preliminarily determined the effect, and in the next step, Fang Yun originally planned to start implementing it in other places after the roads are repaired and the control of the local area is further strengthened, or the reform experiment will be carried out in one county in each state first, and then it will be fully promoted if there is no problem. Eventually, there was a complete shift to this administrative model.
As for the army, he did not move for the time being, mainly because of today's military model, which is more suitable for the situation of ancient wars. After all, this is an era when hot weapons have not yet appeared, and the large-scale use of cold weapons is the mainstream of the times.
In the future, the military ranks and officers' qualities will be fully matured, and it will not be too late to make major changes.
"Ma Teng bows and thanks the Holy Grace!" Ma Teng received the order and thanked Liu Wei at the top of the list.
Liu Wei is also 15 years old this year, and Fang Yun decided to let him handle affairs on the dragon chair in the main hall of Jinyang Palace as a real emperor on some very important occasions. And he sat in the first place in the lower head, which was where his identity should sit.
"Aiqing is exempt, since Aiqing is already an official in Jinyang in the future, I hope to communicate with the general, unite and cooperate with each other, and don't have any dirt!" Liu Wei also gave a few words of encouragement, and solemnly advised.
"Obey the order!" Naturally, Ma Teng should do everything.
The rest is simple, send someone to inform Ma Chao and take over the defense of several other counties in Liangzhou. At the same time, he asked Ma Teng to write a letter to the past, asking Ma Chao to give up his position as an administrator in the counties of Liangzhou. Ma Chao is equivalent to a relatively free commander of the military region, but the local government affairs are entrusted to the people arranged by Fang Yun. Since Ma Teng was allowed to install manpower to supervise, and he was guaranteed to ensure the supply of money and food, and no other troops were set up, neither Ma Teng nor Ma Chao recommended this.
Moreover, there is no need to deal with government affairs, which is a good thing for them generals.
At the same time, Fang Yun told Ma Teng the evidence of some of Han Sui's small actions, and it was up to him to decide how to deal with Ma Teng. Ma Teng actually knew very well that Fang Yun wanted him, but in fact, the main thing was that Ma Chao eliminated Han Sui's forces. At the same time, I also know very well in my heart that this is a letter of nomination.
Losing Han Sui, Ma Teng had no choice but to face Fang Yun alone. To be honest, even if he knew that Han Sui, a guy who claimed to be a famous man, was disdainful of a little poor man like him, and even plotted to seize his territory. But if there is really no Han Sui, I am afraid that the family in Liangzhou will also be a big trouble. Not to mention, he also lost an arm.
When it came time for him to make a decision, Ma Teng finally relented.
He personally sent a letter to Ma Chao, saying that he wanted Ma Chao to attack Han Sui! When Fang Yun learned of this, he said that he could send troops to help attack Han Sui together, but of course Ma Teng declined. After all, he was still a little worried that Fang Yun would pretend to be a fool.
Fang Yun also knew what he was thinking, so he didn't force it, but said that if he could complete the task, then he would appoint Ma Chao as the general of Zhenxi and guard Liangzhou. Ma Dai was ordered to inherit the position of former general and guard Yongzhou.
When Ma Teng heard this, he was naturally ecstatic, he knew that the Fubo General Ma Yuan clan could finally rise again in his generation! (To be continued.) )
PS: The upper position of the Ma Teng clan, the beginning of driving the tiger and the wolf.
Yongliang and Liangzhou, there is no need to worry for the time being.
