Chapter 384: Wooing Ma Teng
Wei Xuan went to Chang'an, in addition to not wanting to have too much contact with Liu Xiehe's so-called imperial court, but also really wanted to solve the Liangzhou problem. After the Kwantung Five-Party Alliance was broken up, the military groups that could pose a threat to the threat at present were all facing a lot of problems to a greater or lesser extent, and then Gongsun Zan and Yuan would definitely fight, Cao Cao and Lu Bu would also fight again for the ownership of the eye, and the triangular battle between Tao Qian, Sun Ce and Yuan Shu would not stop for a while. This is also a good time to address Liangzhou.
The Liangzhou Rebellion has been around for a long time, when the Yellow Turban Uprising, Beigong Boyu and others took the opportunity to rebel, and later pacified many times, and there were famous generals such as Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian on this battlefield. It can be seen how much energy was involved in the Liangzhou rebellion. Wei Xuan didn't want to be inextricably linked to Yuan Shao or Cao Cao or Liu Biao in the future, and suddenly be poorly attacked by the Liangzhou cavalry, and Chang'an even raided Luoyang.
At present, Han Sui is the main force in Liangzhou, and the forces of Ma Teng and others vary in size. After Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, Liangzhou became even more chaotic, and Liangzhou assassinated Shi Geng and served as a traitor, which led to the rebellion of the Hanyang Kingdom and the Di and Qiang peoples???????????????? Geng contempt recruited warriors in the states and counties to crusade against the rebellion. Ma Teng was conscripted, valued by state and county officials, appointed as a military officer, commanded the troops, and later made meritorious contributions to the battle, was promoted to military Sima, and moved to general.
Soon, Geng was killed by his subordinates, and Ma Teng's bright future was stifled, and he had to become a part of the rebellion and united with Han Sui and others, joined forces with the Hanyang Kingdom, and called himself "General Hezhong", jointly elected the kingdom as the commander, led his subordinates, and plundered Sanfu. The Han Dynasty called it the Sanfu Rebellion, which had seriously deterred the Han court controlled by Dong Zhuo.
In the sixth year of Zhongping, the kingdom was defeated by the army sent by Dong Zhuo's court, so Ma Teng, Han Sui and others abolished the kingdom and kidnapped Yan Zhong as the commander. Soon Yan Zhong fell ill and died, and Ma Teng, Han Sui and others weakened in their struggle for power.
In the second year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo was defeated by Wei Xuan and retreated to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo was a native of Liangzhou, and wanted to invite Han Sui and Ma Teng to jointly plan to attack Wei Xuan and Shandong generals who occupied Henan to re-pacify the world. Seeing the chaos in the world, the two also wanted to rely on Dong Zhuo to raise troops to fight for fame, so they agreed.
In the third year of the first peace, Ma Teng and Han Sui arrived in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo had been jointly killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, and Li Dao and others were in power, so they worshiped Han Sui for the Liangzhou Assassin History, repatriated Jincheng, and Ma Teng was the general of Zhengxi, and he was stationed in Yi.
These two were ambitious people, coupled with the bitter cold of Liangzhou and the years of war, they couldn't feed many soldiers and horses, Ma Teng had a personal matter to ask Li Dao for hope that Li Dao could fund some grain, grass and weapons, but he didn't get a response, so he led his troops to attack. Liu Xie sent an envoy to persuade him, but he was unsuccessful, and then Han Sui, who was stationed in Jincheng, led his troops to persuade him, and then united with Ma Teng to attack Li Dao together. The courtiers Chong Shao and others wanted to kill Li Dao and others, so they secretly contacted Ma Teng and were willing to respond internally, but because the matter was revealed, they had to flee to Huaili. Li Wei sent Fan Chou, Guo Yan and his nephew Li Li to attack, but Ma Teng and Han were defeated and retreated. Li Wei's troops attacked Huaili again, and Chong Shao and others were killed.
Soon, Li Dao and others made peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and reappointed Ma Teng as General Andi and Han Sui as General Anjing. For this reason, Li Dao and Fan Chou also turned against each other, and Li Dao took the opportunity to attack and kill Fan Chou in the name of fornicating with Han Sui and Ma Teng, and annexed his subordinates, which also led to Guo Yan's suspicion of Li Dao.
Ma Teng said that the army was not well supplied, and asked for the valley to be in Changping, where could Li Dao take care of him at that time, so Ma Teng did not wait for the imperial court to issue an edict to lead the army to change the head of Changping Shore. The general Wang Cheng was afraid that Ma Teng was plotting against him, so he led his troops to attack, but Ma Teng was unprepared and was defeated to the west. Soon, Li Dao and Guo Yan attacked each other, Sanfu was in turmoil, and Ma Teng gave up his plan to travel eastward, united with Han Sui, and became brothers with different surnames.
These two people saw the weakness of the Han family from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and now they are united because they feel that the territory of Liangzhou is too small, and they want to wait for an opportunity to occupy Sanfu. Originally, Li Wei and Guo Yan were suspicious of each other and attacked each other, but Han Sui and Ma Teng both saw the opportunity.
As a result, a Wei Xuan was suddenly killed, and Guo Yan was killed like a whirlwind, defeating Li Dao, and quickly occupying the Kanto region. Unlike Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others before, Wei Xuan was not born in a martial arts, but occupied the foundation of Bingzhou and Sili, which was naturally much more stable than the two martial artists. Han Sui and Ma Teng decided to wait and see for the time being.
After Wei Xuan occupied Guanzhong and had time to completely purge it, he had to escort Liu Xie to Hedong,???????????????? Then there was the matter of Yongbiao's struggle for power and the five-party alliance of Kwantung Yuan Shao and others to crusade against Wei Xuan. Therefore, at this time, Guanzhong was still a situation of more than a dozen warlords, among which Ma Teng and Han Sui were the strongest.
When Wei Xuan left Chang'an, he took Zhong Xuan as the assassin of Yongzhou, showing that Yang Biao was guarding Guanzhong, and after Yang Biao's death, Wei Xuan did not strengthen the power of Guanzhong.
Instead, he directly entrusted Zhong Xuan to supervise the troops in Guanzhong. After Zhong Xuan arrived in Chang'an, he wrote to Ma Teng and Han Sui, stating the stakes, so Ma Teng and Han Sui were willing to submit and each sent their sons as hostages.
So when Wei Xuan led his troops to Chang'an, he saw fifteen-year-old Ma Chao. I have to say that the tiger father has no dog son, and the eight-foot-long Ma Teng and the eldest son born to the concubine perfectly inherited the heroic appearance of his parents.
Of course, Wei Xuan admired Ma Chao because of his bravery, and in another time and space, Ma Chao was bewitched by Han Sui and others in Liangzhou, regardless of the life and death of his father and brother, and rebelled in Liangzhou, which resulted in Ma Teng, who served as a former general in the imperial court, being wiped out by the three clans. Later, Ma Chao continued to be defeated, first voted for Zhang Lu, and then voted for Liu Bei. Since then, the stars have gradually dimmed.
Now that the young Ma Chao is not as polluted by Han Sui's old hooligans, and his father also hopes to restore the glory of the ancestor Fubo General Ma Yuan and has a relatively respectful attitude towards the imperial court, he should be able to train Ma Chao to become a real tiger general of the world.
Wei Xuan's method of cultivating military generals is also very simple, that is, he first subdued Ma Chao with arrogance, so he began to learn according to the rules of Wei Xuan's army. How did the young Ma Chao know about Wei Xuan's sinister intentions. I heard that he was naturally very excited to learn from the fierce generals in the army.
He saw that Wei Xuan casually selected two people who looked like the captain of the guards in the barracks to compete with him, and Brother Xiao Ma didn't take these two people seriously. As a result, Brother Pony on horseback was beaten by two infantrymen, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was looking for teeth all over the ground. These two infantrymen are naturally Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who are at the peak of their lives. It can be said that the bravery of the two of them in the current Weixuan Legion may not dare to say that they are the first, but the infantry combat is absolutely unbeatable.
Brother Xiao Ma couldn't bear to recover from his injuries for a day, and Zhao Yun, the chief general of the Chinese army, also put forward an invitation to learn, and Brother Xiao Ma thought in his heart that the two men who were very strong at first glance turned out to be the captain of Wei Xuan's personal guard, and they should be the two strongest in Wei Xuan's army. Although this Zhao Yun is a disciple of the great hero Tong Yuan, after all, he has a lot of energy to lead the army, and then he looks like a scholar and a scholar, he is definitely not his opponent.
Then Little Pony was tragic again. Zhao Yun is indeed gentle, but people use marksmanship skills to win. Although fifteen-year-old Ma Chao is extremely brave, when it comes to marksmanship, he is definitely not the opponent of Zhao Yun, who is ten years older and pointed out by a famous teacher.
Seeing the strength of the generals under Wei Xuan, the young Ma Chao also saw the majesty of the army under Wei Xuan, Taishi Ci is the most elite part of Wei Xuan's army, Mo Dao and Shen Ji bow have opened Ma Chao's eyes, and what really shocked Ma Chao was the two thousand heavy cavalry of Tai Shi Ci Ministry, although the number is small, but every time he goes out of the camp for training, it is earth-shattering. Ma Chao likes this kind of killing machine armed with metal.
Of course, in Ma Chao's heart, he felt that although the Taishi Ci Department was elite, after all, the number was limited, and most of them were infantry, and if it was carried out with the Liangzhou soldiers, it would be a stalemate at most, and it was impossible to say that the Liangzhou soldiers could still occupy and move???????????????? The advantage of force is long-distance harassment.
However, the arrival of Zhao Yunbu changed Ma Chao's opinion, and Zhao Yunbu's 15,000 men, 6,000 light cavalry and 2,000 heavy cavalry were now training outside Chang'an, but they were much more mobile than Taishi Cibu.
Ma Chao, who is warlike by nature, immediately realized that there was going to be a war in Guanzhong. Although the young Sikong claimed to be exterminating the remnants of Li Dao and other troops entrenched in Guanzhong, Ma Chao still secretly wrote to Ma Teng to give a detailed explanation of the situation of the Chang'an garrison, and mentioned that he should not turn his face with Wei Xuan unless he had to, and if the Mo knife and the divine arm bow that were specially used to restrain the cavalry were completed, twice as many light cavalry would be helpless. And all the cavalry of the Wei Xuan Army has reached 10,000 together, and Ma Chao can see that the individual combat power of the light cavalry equipped with bilateral stirrups may not be lost to any Liangzhou cavalry, and the combat power of the heavy cavalry is several times that of the light cavalry.
It's just that what Ma Chaomo thought of was that Wei Xuan continued to gather troops in Guanzhong. It turned out that Wei Xuan also adjusted the internal strength after deciding to deal with the mercenaries in Liangzhou, and the state side could not move for the time being, mainly for deterrence and to ensure that the people could grow steadily.
Three months after Zhang He's reorganization in Henan, he went to Chenliu again to garrison. Ganning's naval army also advanced from Mengjin to Neihuanggang and used Neihuang County as the main supply base. It was used to strengthen the liaison between Wei County and Chenliu. Duan Xuan moved to Kunyang, on the border of Nanyang and Yingchuan, to assist in the defense of Yingchuan Xu Rong and Nanxiang Wei Yan.
The first general Zhang Liao under Wei Xuan and Zhang Ji, the general of Xiliangmeng, were transferred to Guanzhong. Young Pony Chao has seen again.
When 15,000 heavy cavalry appeared on the outskirts of Chang'an City, Xiao Ma Chao shouted in his heart, I must join this team, there is such a team in Liangzhou enough. Brother Xiao Ma thought so in his heart, and said it on his lips, standing on the city wall and pleading with Wei Xuan on the spot: "Sikong, I want to be one of them, please fulfill it." ”
Wei Xuan nodded, but the young and innocent Xiao Ma Chao was ordered by Wei Xuan again, let him perform well in front of these unstoppable heavy cavalry, and conquer the main general of this cavalry with his strength, there is no need for Wei Xuan to come forward, those people will definitely rush him to join.
