Chapter 1245: Xiliang Ma Clan
Liu Wei's staff and generals lined up on both sides and sat in the hall.
In two days, the king of Qin will ascend the throne, and everyone is both expectant and nervous.
As the staff and generals under the command of King Qin, once Liu Wei ascended the throne, they were ministers above the court, and they were no longer just under the tent of a hero.
A pair of eyes looked at the door of the front hall, anxiously looking forward to Liu Wei's appearance.
While waiting, everyone would whisper a few words from time to time, but they did not communicate loudly, and the conversation with each other was not very long.
Waiting anxiously, a guard outside the door shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Highness has arrived!" ”
Hearing the shouting, the people who spoke stopped talking, and everyone in the hall straightened up and stared at the main entrance of the front hall.
Surrounded by several guards, Liu Wei appeared outside the door of the front hall.
Striding into the hall, the guards all stayed at the door, only Wang Zhen followed closely behind him.
Walking to the first seat, he turned and faced the people in the hall, his gaze sweeping over everyone's body.
Everyone stood up one after another, clasped their fists and bowed down in unison and shouted to Liu Bian: "I will congratulate Your Highness!" ”
After pressing his hand twice towards everyone, Liu Wei said with a smile: "This king has not yet ascended the throne, how can I congratulate him?" ”
"Your Highness!" Clenching his fists and facing Liu Wei, Xu Shu said: "Although His Royal Highness has not yet ascended the throne, but now it is not far from the day of his accession to the throne, and it is not wrong for me to congratulate him in advance!" ”
Nodding with a smile, Liu Wei pressed his hand to everyone again and said, "You wait and sit down, I'll sit down and talk!" ”
Everyone answered and sat down.
After sitting down, the staff and generals in the hall all turned their eyes to Liu Wei again.
"What do you have to say about the enthronement, and you can say it here today!" Looking around at everyone, Liu Wei said to them: "There are only two days before the auspicious day, and early tomorrow morning, I will climb Songshan in advance. ”
"Your Highness!" Liu Wei urged everyone to speak quickly, Tian Feng stood up, clenched his fists and said, "There are four of my Great Qin Army Brigades outside. General Wen Chang led a team that was in Yecheng to stabilize the Yuan clan in Hebei. Shiyuan and Fengxian led a detachment stationed on the eastern border of Liaodong. Zhuge Jun led a team and already occupied Yizhou. The soldiers and horses led by General Zhou Cang are also in Wuhuan at this time, waiting for His Highness's orders! ”
Listening to what Tian Feng said, Liu Wei did not say anything.
He knew that Tian Feng would not just read the army outside, and silently waited for Tian Feng to finish speaking.
"The conquest of the army is a must for His Highness to achieve the hegemony of the network map!" Straightening up and looking at each other with Liu Wei, Tian Feng continued: "But our army is too scattered, in the long run, if there are heroic forces enough to break through, even if the army is strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse the situation!" ”
pondering what Tian Feng said in his heart, Liu Wei's eyelids lowered slightly, and although he didn't speak, he agreed with it in his heart.
Although the Qin army is strong, the world is really too big.
The Yuan clan in Hebei has declined, and Cao Cao has also been forced to the Liaodong area, and the Central Plains can be said to have no opponent of the Qin army.
It's just that the heroes from all walks of life in the south and Ma Teng and Han Sui in the west are still quite powerful.
There are many heroes, and the only way is to break them one by one, but at the moment, the Qin army has made a big mistake of being overly dispersed.
Frowning slightly, Liu Wei still didn't say anything.
Seeing him frowning, knowing that the words were in his heart, Tian Feng continued: "Your Highness ascends the throne, and the heroes in the world are nothing more than two choices. One of them is to serve His Royal Highness and be a great Han courtier. The second is to be the enemy of His Royal Highness and completely break with the Han Dynasty! ”
Raising his hand and pinching his chin, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly.
Tian Feng is right!
There are many heroes in the world, and there are probably not a few people who really remember the big man.
After Liu Wei ascended the throne, the Qin army would be transformed into the Han army!
The future Han army will face an enemy that is even stronger than that faced by Gaozu when he established the Han Dynasty!
His eyes narrowed into a slit, Liu Wei still didn't say anything, his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and his gaze always stayed on Tian Feng's body.
Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, seeing that Liu Wei still did not say anything, Tian Feng said: "After His Royal Highness ascends the throne, the most important thing is to pacify the north as soon as possible. ”
Nodding, Liu Wei asked Xu Shu, "What does Yuan Zhi mean?" ”
Suddenly questioned by Liu Wei, Xu Shu hurriedly stood up and said: "Back to Your Highness, the intention of your subordinates is the same as Yuan Hao!" ”
Xu Shu also expressed his agreement with Tian Feng's statement, and Liu Wei's eyes turned to Chen Gong and the others.
was swept by his gaze, and Chen Gong and other advisers also stood up and seconded the proposal.
Everyone expressed their unanimous attitude, Liu Wei did not hesitate any longer, and said to everyone in the hall: "Order Zhou Cang to lead the soldiers and horses into Liaodong and join Pang Tong and Lu Bu. Wei Yan led his troops and horses eastward, forming a corner with Lu Bu's army, waiting for the opportunity! ”
Listening to Liu Wei's order, everyone was silent, and their eyes were staring at him, waiting for him to finish the order.
"Order Zhuge Jun, the army occupies Yizhou, and sends Liu Zhang to Luoyang, as for Zhang Lu, if you can recruit it, you can recruit it, if you can't recruit it, you will be killed immediately!" At the mention of the Qin army that entered Sichuan, Liu Wei's face showed a touch of pride.
He couldn't help but be unhappy, the Qin army occupied Yizhou, which cut off Liu Bei's back road to Sichuan in the future.
There is the Jiangdong Sun clan in the south, even if Liu Bei captures Jingzhou, it is difficult to make any achievements in Jingzhou.
The capture of Yizhou has undoubtedly broken Liu Bei!
It was enough for Liu Wei to spend his energy to deal with it, and now only the Jiangdong Sun family remained.
"Your Highness!" As soon as the order was conveyed to everyone in the hall, a guard's voice came from outside the door of the front hall: "Xiliang Ma Teng has entered Luoyang and asked for an audience!" ”
"Ma Teng?" When he came to the front hall, Liu Wei hadn't gotten any news about Ma Teng, and when the guard said that Ma Teng had arrived in Luoyang, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and his eyes swept around the faces of everyone in the hall.
Like Liu Wei, everyone in the hall had doubts on their faces.
Including Xu Shu and Tian Feng and others, they did not get any news about Ma Teng's arrival in Luoyang.
The sudden request to see him was really unexpected by the entire Great Qin high-level officials.
"Where is Ma Teng? Who is he who comes with him? Sitting up a little straighter, Liu Wei asked the guard.
"I'm waiting in the front yard for a summons! Accompanying those who came, there were only Ma Chao and Ma Tie! Holding a fist-hugging and bowing posture, the guard replied.
Hearing that Ma Chao was also here, Liu Wei was even more stunned, and hurriedly said, "Please come and see them!" ”
"No!" In response, the guard bowed with his fists clenched and exited the antechamber.
When the guard withdrew, his prolonged shout came from outside the door: "Pass, Xiliang Ma Teng and others will meet you inside!" ”
As the shouts of the guards fell, three figures soon appeared outside the door.
At the forefront was a man in his fifties.
This man is burly, with a long face, and there are a few deep pockmarks on his face.
This person is none other than Ma Teng, who dominates the side in Xiliang.
Walking on his left was a burly man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, who could hardly hide his muscles even though he was only dressed in a common man's deep clothes.
The neck of the big man is thicker than that of ordinary people, and his skin is also very dark.
Just looking at this person's appearance, Liu Wei didn't think he was Ma Chao, and immediately expected that he must be Ma Teng's nephew Ma Tie!
The big man on the right side of Ma Teng has a white skin, although he also has a long face, but his appearance is very heroic.
With just one glance, Liu Wei already knew that this person was Ma Chao.
The Ma family is quite famous in Xiliang, especially Ma Chao, who followed his father to conquer the Qiang people at a young age.
After years of fighting, today's Qiang people, as long as they hear Ma Chao's name and surname, they will lose the courage to fight.
Ma Teng and the others who entered the hall did not wear official uniforms, let alone armor, they were just civilian clothes.
No wonder Liu Wei and everyone in the hall didn't know that the Ma father and son came to Luoyang, and along the way, they pretended to be ordinary people and deceived the eyes and ears of the Qin army.
"General Ma is sitting in Xiliang, why did he come here?" Leaned forward slightly, and when Ma Teng and the others stood still, Liu Wei blurted out a question.
"His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne as emperor, and the last general is here to congratulate!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Ma Teng said to Liu Wei: "Xiliang Ma Clan, from now on, I am willing to follow His Royal Highness and restore the foundation of the Great Han!" ”
After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Li Dao and Guo Yan entered Chang'an, and Ma Teng led the army to fight with the two.
Liu Wei still has some impressions of Ma Teng.
This person sits in Xiliang, and his soldiers and horses are strong, but he is not as ambitious as Dong Zhuo's side.
For the Han family, Ma always has some awe, only because it is far away from the Central Plains, he rarely enters the court!
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Liu Wei gestured to Ma Teng and the others and said, "General Ma, please sit down and talk!" ”
"Your Highness!" He bowed down with his fists and thanked Liu, and Ma Teng and the others sat down in the guest seat under the guidance of the two guards who entered the hall.
The place where they sat down was not very far from Liu Bian, and they could clearly see Liu Bian's expression.
Sitting down next to Ma Teng, Ma Chao and Ma Tie were always silent, Ma Teng looked at Liu Wei and said: "Your Highness, if the last general is not mistaken, in two days, it will be the time for His Highness to ascend the throne!" ”
Nodding, Liu Wei didn't say anything, waiting for Ma Teng to continue.
Pretending to be a civilian and coming to Luoyang, Liu Wei didn't believe that Ma Teng was just here to congratulate him.
He must have come here for something more important!
Liu Wei didn't say anything, and Ma Teng hesitated a little before he spoke: "In the end, I am here, but I have something to ask Your Highness!" ”
When Ma Teng said this, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Bian's mouth and said, "General Ma has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
