The Western Route Army of the imperial court marched south to Xuzhou, and there were basically no large-scale battles.

All the way, it can be said that it was a pit and a deception, and it hit Lu County, the gateway to Pengcheng.

But the Eastern Route Army led by Ma Chao is a completely different style of play.

This young and vigorous young general used a completely fanfare style to lure the enemy out of the city to meet the battle with a small force in Qu County, and then the large army covered up and broke the city on five days.

After that, he forced Liu Kui, the minister of the East China Sea, to sit in the hall and open the government, and then asked the people in the city to expose the sins of the officials and generals in the East China Sea.

It was verified to be true and beheaded on the spot.

In order to make this incident more sensational, Ma Chao set up the execution ground outside the government office.

In the past few days, there has been a river of blood outside the Qu County Government Office, which is almost difficult for people to gain a foothold.

After Tao Qian assassinated the history of Xuzhou, he successively reused countless Taishan thieves and the generals of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Even if these people have official status, most of them still wonder their original temperament.

Most of them do not take action personally after becoming officials, but only secretly support local thieves.

However, there are still a small number of people who are brazenly and personally committing robbery.

The local people were miserable, complaining, and the people's grievances were boiling like fire.

For this matter, Ma Chao stayed in Qu County for more than ten days.

And at that time, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses had already arrived in Fuyang.

After Qu County was settled, Ma Chao led the army to continue south, and Houqiu and Siwu descended from the wind.

Ma Chao not only fought bravely, but also attacked fiercely, so that the officials in the two places who did not have Xuzhou generals stationed were afraid.

When Ma Chao led the army to the city, the officials of the two places personally led the local soldiers and civilians, ate pot pulp, and knelt on the ground to greet each other.

……

When the soldiers and horses of the imperial court marched all the way to Pengcheng, Liu Wei's line also arrived in Kaiyang.

Like a snowflake, it soon occupied Liu Bian's desk.

“一件件来吧，他们就跟给朕掐好了时间一般，这是不想给朕留一丝游玩戏耍的时间啊！” Liu Wei lay on his back on the soft collapse, resting his feet on the hot basin and roasting.

"It's a bit of a coincidence." Xun You echoed with a smile.

"Let's pick up the important ones." Liu Wei lay down comfortably and said lightly, "Does Ma Chao have a performance?" ”

This young general who became famous in Liangzhou when he was young, although Liu Wei made an exception this time and made him lead an army.

But after all, he was a little worried, worried that he was not stable enough.

Xun You had already gone through those recitals, and he even remembered clearly where his recitals were placed, so he said directly: "Ma Chao said that he had captured the three cities of Quxian, Houqiu, and Siwu, and was marching into good success. ”

"The army is quite fast, but it doesn't live up to his reputation as a little pony of the Ma clan, I don't know if it's good or bad." Liu Wei said with a smile.

Xun You's face was a little strange, he seemed to be wrong, he should have put the bad things in front first.

"It's just...... He forced Liu Kui, the minister of the East China Sea, to sit in the court in Qu County, and ordered the officials to sue the local officials, and killed them for six days. Xun You said, "Although he is also doing this to clear the place, there seems to be no problem, but this case is not the grace of the court." ”

Liu Wei's eyes drooped slightly, "You want to say that you are angry?" ”

Xun You bowed silently, "Those lawbreakers who cause trouble to the people must be severely punished." But Your Majesty, you have already made it clear that you will only be in charge of fighting, and these things will be handled by Shang Shutai, and Ma will overtake his power. ”

"Send a decree to reprimand and strip him of the merits of this battle!" Liu Wei said in a deep voice, "In addition, give three thousand gold." ”

After a pause, he said, "Forget it, bring him another set of armor I brought!" ”

This incident made Liu Wei suddenly have a headache.

He didn't understand why, these fierce generals were more or less out of the ordinary.

Ma Chao didn't know who to learn this trick from, and he also engaged in the name of the thief tree.

It can't be said to be completely wrong, but it definitely doesn't apply to the imperial court, nor does it suit his identity as a general of the imperial court.

Liu Wei now hopes that Ma Chao will not follow Lu Bu's example and give him a backstab.

rewarded the merits of the three cities, and punished meddling in the affairs of Shangshutai and Yushi, Liu Wei tried his best to be tolerant.

"He wouldn't kill innocents, would he?" Liu Wei frowned slightly, and suddenly became a little uncalm, "There are so many thieves in the East China Sea, can you let him kill for six days?" ”

Xun You took Ma Chao's recital and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "Between the lines of General Ma's words, the minister can't see that he is suspected of killing innocents indiscriminately. However, it is really difficult to say about this matter, and if the case is tried solemnly, it will not last for six days. But if you just kill people based on one-sided words, six days may be a bit too much. ”

"Spread the decree, let Chen Ji Lao'er lead people to go to Qu County to review the case of Qu County. Qin An is my envoy, and he will go with him! Liu Wei said that the more he thought about it, the less calm he became, and after thinking about it, he added, "To patrol the local officials and create the name of the household." ”

"Obey the order!" Xun Yu responded.

He heard from the emperor's tone that he clearly meant to take care of Ma Chao, but he didn't say much.

The last person to be so cared for by the emperor was him.

Looking at himself, he couldn't tell why.

The emperor took special care of Ma Chao, and he should ...... There must be a reason.

What's more, the emperor did not lose fairness in doing this, and acted completely fairly, just taking care of the subtleties.

For example, rewarding armor and investigating the affairs of Qu County in the name of patrolling.

"Your Majesty, General Cao is on the table." Xun You turned out Cao Cao's recital, "After the victory in Licheng, our army took advantage of the situation to capture Zhuqi, but the general of Ganyu was Ju Yi, the general under Yuan Shao's account, and assisted by Liang Wangmi, they saw through the opportunity for General Cao to feign defeat and escape. ”

"The two sides and Ganyu have fought several battles, and they have won and lost each other. After General Duan Xuan arrived with his troops, the enemy chose to withdraw from Ganyu. General Cao said that he had reorganized his troops and horses in Ganyu, and would take Yuan Shao's army and the Yellow Turban Army as the vanguard, and the Xiyuan Army led by General Duan Xuan as the rear army, and go north to capture Zhuxian, as well as Haiqu, Dongwu and other places where the Yellow Turban Army was raging. ”

"And the two generals Zhang Xiu and Cao Chun will lead the troops and horses to join forces, pursue the Juyi Army, and attack Dong'an and Dongguan."

When Liu Wei heard the name of Dongguan, he couldn't help but wonder, "Dongguan is a good place, but it's a pity...... Never again. ”

Xun You naturally didn't know the deep meaning of Liu Wei's words, and echoed with a smile, "Dongguan is near Yishui, there is Yunting, there is Pixiang, there is Gonglai Mountain, and it is said that Gufulai, Lu Yingong once allied with Juren in Fulai. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is indeed a good place. It's just that in the past few years, the yellow scarves have been raging, and wars have been raging everywhere, and there should be few tourists on the mountain who are greedy for Yaxing. ”

Liu Wei laughed, what he and Xun You said was completely wrong, and they even talked about it together.

What he misses is an hour of love full of short skirts and complicated tricks.

Xun You is talking about the historical places in Dongguan.

This gap, all of a sudden, came to the damn one.

"Cao Cao divides his troops like this, what do you think?" Liu Bianzheng asked.

At the same time, he motioned to Zhao Ye to add some charcoal fire to the hot pot, it was not too hot.

Xun You put Cao Cao's recital aside and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has no other opinions, it is reasonable for General Cao to divide his troops in this way, pursue Ju Yi with elite soldiers and horses, and attack the Yellow Turban Army with his pawns. It's just that Liang Wangmi is good at scheming, and the two generals Zhang Xiu and Cao Chun don't like to use strategy when they fight, so the minister is a little worried about this matter. ”

"Hmm." Liu Wei pondered for a while, and then said: "The decree ordered Xu Shu to join Zhang Xiu's army, and temporarily become Sima of other departments." After ordering Cao Cao to go north to Xuzhou, he judged the situation and saw if he could capture Qingzhou for me. ”

Xun You asked with a little surprise: "Your Majesty plans to attack Qingzhou?" ”

Liu Wei put his feet back on the changed warm basin and said lightly: "The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is now the strongest remaining one among the thirty-six Yellow Turban Qu Marshals, almost occupying the entire Qingzhou realm, and now it seems to be Yuan Shao's minions. ”

"Even Gongsun Chan can let go of his grudge with Yuan Shao, and instead concentrate on exterminating the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, as the son of the Han Dynasty, how can I be indifferent? Just because I didn't move them before doesn't mean I can't see them. ”

"The imperial court is separated from Qingzhou by Ji and Xu, and it is difficult to dispatch grain and grass, so even if I want to conquer the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, I can't do anything. At this time, when they finally hit the eyes, how can they be let go? Exterminate the thieves, and those civilians should also let them return to the fields and live a good life. ”

Xun You quickly calculated an account in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, Qingzhou can be attacked." However, it is necessary to capture Pengcheng first, and raise the battle of Qingzhou in Xuzhou. If you attack Qingzhou, the generals have more than enough soldiers and horses, but the grain and grass are not enough, and only by feeding our army with the grain of Xuzhou can we go north to Qingzhou and exterminate the Yellow Turban. ”

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and the road is difficult and dangerous to transport grain from Guanzhong. Even if Qingzhou is captured, it will not be beneficial to the imperial court, but will damage the foundation of the society. ”

Liu Wei bowed his head, "List the point you just mentioned in your will." ”

"Yui!"

The issue of grain and grass has always been a major problem for the imperial court this year.

Because of the matter of grain and grass, Huangfu Song almost stopped the army in Chang'an to debate with Liu Wei.

Fortunately, the battle of Liangzhou was won quickly, and the imperial court not only did not lose, but also made a small profit.

But now the war is in Qingzhou.

Transporting grain from the westernmost to the easternmost to fight a war will result in more losses on the road than in the war.

Although Yanzhou also has some grain, he doesn't dare to move lightly.

Neither the garrison nor the food reserves for the famine could support the battle until the end.

"Whose other recital?" Liu Wei asked.

Xun You picked and chose in the fold, and took out a letter, "Your Majesty, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian wrote a letter to ask for guilt!" ”

"He? Please?! Liu Wei was shocked by this fold and sat up, and his waist hurt a little.

He now clearly felt that this old horseman was playing monkey show.

And he is the monkey.

"Exactly." Xun You's face was also a little tense, and he said, "Tao Qian said in his book that he was bewitched by Cao Cao and joined forces to fight against Yuan Thief. Moreover, he is also old, and beseeches His Majesty to grant one of his sons the post of a lieutenant official. ”

"At the same time, he asked His Majesty to give him armor and sharp weapons, and he was willing to carry the coffin to the north, conquer Cao Cao, and get rid of thieves for the country."

"This old horseman, let him die!" Liu was so angry that he scolded his mother on the spot.

He'd seen shameless, but he'd never seen such a shameless thing.

It's so fucking infuriating!

It's like making a fool of him!

also asked a son for the idle post of a central official, which means that he also wants to send a proton to the court, and wants to reassure him.

Something that dogs don't eat!

"Tell him that I will send him 30,000 armor blades, and he is already on his way. Let him wash his neck that he hasn't rubbed in sixty years, so that he can wait for me! Liu Wei shook his sleeves and scolded.

"Obey the order!"
