readx;??? ct; After Zhang Fan led the Great Qin Empire's East China Sea naval fleet to lift the Wang family's naval blockade of the Jimo region, Dou Rong was picked up by two ships sent by Zhang Fan and traveled north along the coastline of the Shandong Peninsula, and then entered the mainland from the river at the mouth of the river.

Although Dou Rong doesn't know what this arrangement is all about, since he has the support of the Zhang family, there shouldn't be much of a problem with such an arrangement.
As for whether the Wang family would know that the blockade area was destroyed, Dou Rong, Zhang Fan and the others did not think that the personnel of the Wang family were stupid, because since things had come to this point, it was impossible for the Wang family not to know that their actions had failed.
Of course, even if the Wang family knew that their plot had failed, it would be impossible for the other party to turn the situation around in such a situation.
Because time is too short, this is also true for the Wang family.
The corresponding actions of the Wang family in the Zhao County area may also allow the other party to seize the opportunity to avoid the situation from deteriorating, but more, the core personnel of the Wang family in Xianyang New Town want to rely on the other party's preparations in the Guanzhong area to save the situation, maybe the Zhang family does not interfere in this matter, and the Wang family will have a chance to change the result, but under the premise that the Zhang family in Xianyang has long been prepared, it is impossible for the Wang family to reverse the situation.
In addition, at this time, there were many birds of prey trained by the animal trainers of the royal family of the Great Qin Empire in the sky above the Guanzhong region, and the task of these birds of prey was to make it impossible for the Wang family to use birds to transmit news in a short period of time.
Maybe these birds of prey will be "injured by mistake", and even some of the domesticated poultry of their own forces will be eaten into their stomachs. But there is no doubt that this is another way to block the message is indeed more effective.
And just in case, under Yingxiu's order, the two troops of the Central Army of the Great Qin Empire were transferred from the two military camps of Shang and Lantian respectively, one unit strengthened the vigilance ability on the periphery of Xianyang New City, and the other force went to Hangu Pass to replace part of the garrison troops originally stationed in the Hangu Pass area.
Yingxiu's arrangement is mainly worried that the defenders of Hangu Pass may be bought by the Wang family, and if there is really any emergency, these officers and soldiers really can't reassure Yingxiu.
Of course, such a troop transfer still needs some excuses to disturb the eyes and ears of Wang Mang and his henchmen. In this regard, the main reason why Yingxiu let these troops move was that he was ready to marry Guo Shengtong as a corresponding arrangement.
Regarding Yingxiu's desire to let his henchmen go to meet Guo Shengtong's team and carry out the corresponding troop transfer, although Wang Mang didn't quite understand whether Yingxiu's action was so simple, they also had no better way to prevent Yingxiu from making corresponding transfers.
Because in many ways, there is nothing unreasonable about Yingxiu's way of mobilizing troops.
Dividing line
The time is gradually approaching the day when Yingxiu marries Guo Shengtong; Look at the latest chapter of this book, please come to this period of time, and there are many undercurrents in the Great Qin Empire.
And even if Yingxiu, Zhang Yuan and others tried their best to block the transmission of news from the Wang family in the Kanto region, but the blockade of such a news could not be exhaustive at all. So during this period of time, the Wang family's personnel in the Guanzhong area can be said to be quite restless.
And Yingxiu naturally found out that Wang Mang seemed to have the idea of jumping off the wall in a hurry, but he pretended not to know anything, but continued to carry out his daily work as usual, as well as the corresponding matters of preparing to marry Guo Shengtong.
As Yingxiu's first concubine, Guo Shengtong's status is certainly incomparable to that of Queen Yin Lihua, but in many ways, Yingxiu does not want to treat each other weakly.
After all, Guo Shengtong can be regarded as a concubine accepted by him, the emperor, in a normal way, if he doesn't pay attention to the other party because of some circumstances, I'm afraid that the face of the royal family of the Great Qin Empire alone will be quite unsightly, not to mention some of the thoughts of other people.
So in this regard, Yingxiu still makes corresponding arrangements according to the corresponding specifications of the previous emperors who have taken care of concubines.
Wang Mang can be said to be quite gnashing his teeth for Yingxiu, because after knowing that the blockade of the Jimo region was ultimately failed due to the intervention of the Great Qin Empire's East China Sea naval fleet, he may not even have the heart to kill Yingxiu now.
But Wang Mang is not the kind of person who has lost his mind at the moment, he knows very well that since he has the help of the Xianyang Zhang family, even if he wants to jump over the wall in a hurry, or even raise an army to rebel, I am afraid that he is already in a rather passive position.
For Wang Mang, since things have reached such a point, then raising troops and rebelling can only be regarded as a last resort.
Although he was calm on the surface, on the inside, he knew that he was in danger.
But what Wang Mang never expected was that Yingxiu would plan to make him and the entire Wang family a historical term.
In Wang Mang's heart, Yingxiu has done so many things, no matter how much she does, it is just to make the Wang family withdraw from the court and take his life.
Yingxiu really didn't plan to do it so thoroughly, but Zhang Yuan understood that in the case of the Wang family, as long as the other party was not solved all at once, then it was very likely that unpredictable variables would occur.
Zhang Yuan didn't want to unite with Yingxiu to deal a devastating blow to the Wang family like this, but more, Zhang Yuan had no choice.
Because at such a time, many things are not in his control.
In Zhao Jun's arrangement, Zhang Yuan mobilized a person who no one expected to be the corresponding coordinator. And this person is among the historical figures known to Zhang Jiashi, the Fubo general Ma Yuan, who is known as the "horse leather shroud".
Dividing line
14-49 years before Ma Yuan, the word Wenyuan. Han nationality, Fufeng Maoling is now 1 person in the northwest of Yangling, Shaanxi. He was a famous military strategist from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and one of the founding heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the last years of the new dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and Ma Yuan was a subordinate of the warlord Kui Huan of Longyou, and he won the trust of Kui Huan.
Later, he returned to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, and made great achievements for Liu Xiu to unify the world. After the unification of the world, although Ma Yuan is old, he still asks Ying to go east to the west, break the Qiang people in the west, and conquer Jiaozhi in the south. His old age and strength, the spirit of the horse leather shroud is even revered by later generations.
After Ma Yuan returned to Liu Xiu, he made great contributions to Liu Xiu's pacification of Kui Hustle and Bustle as a general.
Ma Yuan and his family followed Kui to Luoyang, where they were not appointed for several months. He found that the land in the Sanfu area was fertile, the fields were wide, and he brought many guests, so he wrote to Liu Xiu, requesting to lead the guests to Shanglinyuan to Tuntian. Emperor Guangwu granted his request.
At this time, Kui Huan listened to the provocation of the general Wang Yuan, and wanted to occupy Longxi and claim the king as the hegemon, so he had two hearts for the Han Dynasty and was suspicious of things. Seeing this, Ma Yuan wrote many letters and persuaded him with good intentions. Kui Huan resented Ma Yuan, thinking that he had betrayed him, and became more and more annoyed when he saw the letter, and later raised troops to resist the imperial court. Ma Yuan wrote to Liu Xiu, stating the strategy to eliminate the hustle and bustle. Liu Xiu adopted the strategy of horse aid, and ordered him to lead a cavalry of 5,000 to lobby the generals Gao Jun, Ren Yu and others, as well as Qiang Hao, to state the benefits and disadvantages, and to divide and disintegrate the Kui Huan group.
Ma Yuan also wrote a letter to Yang Guang, the general of the Kui Huan Department, saying that he was at stake, hoping that he could join the Han Dynasty and advise Kui Huan to restrain the precipice. Yang Guang did not reply.
In the 32nd year of the eighth year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu personally conquered Kui. When the army marched to Qi County, many generals thought that the future was unclear, the outcome was uncertain, and it was not appropriate to go deep into the danger. Liu Xiu met with him overnight and told Ma Yuan the opinions of the generals to ask for his opinion. As a result, Ma Yuan expressed his opinion, he believed that the noisy generals had fallen apart, and if they took the opportunity to attack, they would definitely win a complete victory. As he spoke, he ordered someone to take some rice, and at that moment in front of Emperor Guangwu, he used rice to pile up valleys and ravines and other terrain features, and then pointed out the situation of the mountains and rivers, marking the roads of the troops from all walks of life. Liu Xiu was overjoyed and said: "The enemy is already in my eyes." So he decided to march. The next day, Emperor Guangwu marched straight and arrived at the first city of Gaoping. At that time, Liangzhou Mu Dou Rong led the five counties of Hexi to Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Jincheng Taishou and Qiang, Xiaoyue's and other tens of thousands of foot riders and 5,000 baggage vehicles to meet Liu Xiu, and attacked Long by the way. Thirteen generals and more than 100,000 people surrendered without a fight, and Kui Huan fled to Xicheng, where Li Yu and Tian Yi fled to Shangqi to aid the Longshu army. The Han army occupied 16 subordinate counties in Tianshui, and Liu Xiu sent Wu Han and Cen Peng to surround Xicheng and Geng Yi to surround Shangqi. At this point, the main force of the Kui Huan Army was basically wiped out by the Han army.
In this battle, Ma Yuan's "piling rice for mountains" was an important reason for winning this battle, which was also a pioneering achievement in the history of war and had important significance.
And this way of "piling rice for mountains" is also considered to be the prototype of the sand table in the war, in a sense, Ma Yuan can be regarded as the inventor of the sand table.
Ma Yuan was later highly praised in governing the Qiang people, and Ma Teng in later generations mainly relied on the prestige left by Ma Yuan, the ancestor, and his own ability, and became a person respected by the Qiang people in the Liangzhou area.
In the 35th year of the eleventh year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu appointed Ma Yuan as the Taishou of Longxi. Ma Yuan sent 3,000 foot cavalry to defeat Xian Lingqiang in Lintao, beheaded hundreds of people, and obtained more than 10,000 horses, cattle and sheep. There are more than 8,000 people guarding Saiqiang, and they are looking forward to the wind and surrendering. At that time, there were still tens of thousands of people in various tribes of the Qiang tribe to resist in Haokan, Ma Yuan and Yangwu general Ma Cheng led the troops to attack, and the Qiang people gathered their small families and grain and grass to block the Han army in the Yunwu Valley. Ma Yuan led his troops to secretly raid the Qiang camp, and the Qiang people were shocked when they saw the Han army suddenly, and fled far into the Tang Yi Valley. Ma Yuan waved the division in pursuit, and the Qiang people led the elite soldiers to gather in Beishan to hold on.
The horse reinforcements set up a feint attack on the mountain to attract the enemy, and sent hundreds of cavalry to circle behind the Qiang people, set fire to the night, and beat drums and shouts. The Qiang people did not know how many Han troops attacked, and they fled one after another. Ma Yuan won a complete victory and beheaded more than 1,000 people. However, because of the small number of soldiers, they did not pursue the enemy, and only collected the Qiang people's grain, livestock and other property into the possession of the Han army. In this battle, Ma Yuan took the lead, and the arrows shot through his legs and stomachs. When Liu Xiu learned about it, he sent people to offer condolences and gave thousands of cattle and sheep. As usual, Ma Yuan distributed all these to his subordinates.
In the 37th year of the thirteenth year of the founding of the martial arts, Wudu Shenlangqiang united with various departments outside the Saiwai, killed officials, and launched a rebellion. Ma Yuan led 4,000 people to conquer and suppress, and when he reached the border of Didao County, he found that the Qiang people occupied the mountain. Ma Yuan ordered the troops to choose a suitable place to be stationed, cut off the water source of the Qiang people, control the grassland, and wait for work. The Qiang people were short of water and grass and were in a predicament, and the leaders led hundreds of thousands of families to flee to the outside of the Saiwai, and the remaining more than 10,000 people also surrendered. Since then, Longyou has been stable.
Ma Yuan served in Longxi for six years, and the combination of grace and power made the soldiers in Longxi gradually subside, and the people gradually lived a peaceful and stable life. Once, near the county seat, the villagers ganged up and fought for revenge. People mistakenly believed that the Qiang people were going to rebel, panicked, and rushed to the city. When the magistrate of Didao County heard of the change, he rushed to the gate of Ma Yuanfu and asked for instructions to close the city gate and put the troops on guard. Ma Yuan was drinking with the guests at the time, and when he got the news, he laughed and said, "How dare Burning Qiang come to attack me again." Tell Di Daochang to go back to guard the house, and those who are timid and afraid of death can hide under the bed. Soon, when the city settled down, it was a false alarm, and everyone admired Ma Yuan more and more.
From the above records, it can be seen that Ma Yuan is a very outstanding minister and good general, and can even be called both civil and military, and his temperament is also quite noble.
And Ma Yuan, the horse aid of this world, after marrying Zhang Yuan's sister around 6 AD, became the commander of the private armed forces of the Zhang family in Xianyang.
Zhang Yuan mobilized Ma Yuan to personally command Zhao Jun's actions, in addition to such things, Ma Yuan's identity is more able to integrate the corresponding people and horses and coordinate the action, and more importantly, Ma Yuan's strength makes Zhang Yuan quite relieved.
Although Ma Yuan didn't have much idea about the Wang family's dominance, he didn't think that letting the Wang family continue to sit big would not have any impact on the Xianyang Zhang family and those who could be regarded as relatives of the Zhang family.
As the saying goes, if the Xianyang Zhang family is really in crisis because of the Wang family, then for those of them who have become a member of the Xianyang Zhang family, there will definitely be no good end.
Therefore, since things have come to such a point, Ma Yuan will not have any soft thoughts about the Wang family. Because if Ma Yuan had such a plan, then in terms of his character, he would not have agreed to the arrangement that Zhang Yuan gave him in the first place.
