Chapter Seventy-Five: Surrender of Military Power
Ma Chao learned from Ma Teng that the Montenegrin Army uprising had broken out at this time. And listening to Ma Teng's meaning, it seems that the Montenegrin Army is still in full swing. Of course, Ma Chao knew the final result, and in the end, the imperial court was unable to hold on to the Black Mountain Army, which relied on the strength of the Taihang Mountains and the large number of people, so the imperial court had to grant Zhang Yan the title of a miscellaneous general, and Zhang Yan was also unable to defeat the Han army, so he agreed on the donkey. The imperial court can be regarded as recruiting Zhang Yan.
Even a peasant rebel army (the Black Mountain Army actually has millions of people) can't be defeated, Ma Chao feels that he is too cautious, after all, Fufeng Ma's command now has no less than 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who doesn't know that Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the first in the world?
Ma Chao said with a smile: "Since the imperial court is still mired in the Black Mountain Rebellion, it will definitely not dare to fight on two fronts. We just ask for one county for each of the father and son, and the Han family has thirteen states and more than 100 counties, so it shouldn't be so stingy. ”
"Hahaha!" Everyone will smile.
Ma Chao said: "And now, although Han Sui has been defeated many times, his power is still stronger than my Fufeng Ma clan." Fufeng Ma is still useful to the imperial court, and the imperial court will not come to cook it in such a hurry. ”
Ma Chao was a little angry, because the court treated him as a chess piece, which could be used or discarded at any time. However, Ma Chao didn't know that he was actually immoral and had an antipathy.
Ma Chao said: "But the imperial court is the imperial court after all, who knows if the imperial court will come to exterminate us now?" The child wanted to ask his father to move his troops to Chencang, as long as Chencang held on, he could keep the Han army of the imperial court out of Liangzhou. ”
Ma Teng shook his head and said unconvinced: "For my father, I came to join you this time, and I want to fight side by side with Chao'er, and together I will kill all the old thieves of Han Sui and lead Liangzhou." It's good for you, your father has just arrived in Ayang City, and his ass is not hot, so he has to drive his father back! ”
Ma Chao said with a smile: "Father's words are not right, in front of the imperial court, Han Sui is an old thief, he is a fart!" Father's decision to sit down on Chen Cang is to stop the power of the imperial court under Chen Cang City. Father, think about it, you can't make the court even a single step, how majestic it is! As for Han Sui, he was beaten like that by a child, it can be seen that he is just a vain, where does he need his father to come out in person? ”
The generals were a little surprised to see that the father and son were so close. After all, Ma Chao's proposal was suspected of snatching military power, but Ma Teng didn't care at all, he just wanted to fight Han Sui.
Ma Teng clenched his fists angrily and said, "You come less!" For his father to sit in Chencang, how can there be any battle to fight? ”
Ma Chao walked up to Ma Teng, gave Ma Teng a beating on the shoulder, and persuaded: "Father, you are confused." Who knows what the imperial court has planned? In case we really defeated Han Sui, and the imperial court learned about it and sent troops to chase after it, wouldn't Liangzhou, which had just arrived, be picked up by the imperial court in vain? ”
When Ma Teng heard this, he also knew that Ma Chao was right, so he stopped talking. Ma Chao said again: "Besides, Fufeng County is my Ma family's ancestral land. Wouldn't my father want to take it all together? ”
Ma Teng glanced at Ma Chao in surprise and said, "I think I want to, but Fufeng County is one of the three auxiliaries, and Huaili City is only a few dozen miles west of Chang'an City." How could the court let me take it? ”
"Of course it's not possible now, although we have more than 100,000 people who control the strings, but the foundation is still shallow. But one day, the child will definitely defeat Han Sui completely and take the entire Xiliang, even Qiangzhong. Or if the world changes in the future, won't we take Fufeng County at that time? ”
Ma Teng thought thoughtfully, and Ma Chao said: "Now that my father is returning to the army in Chencang, he is laying a wedge in Fufeng County. Chen Cangcheng is the key to the three auxiliary locks and the gateway to Xiliang, holding this city firmly in his hands, in case of changes in the future, Fufeng County can not change hands at any time, for me to own? ”
Ma Teng deeply believes that although Fufeng County is small, it is in Guanzhong, with fertile land and a large population; It is also the ancestral home of the Ma family since the Fubo general Ma Yuan, which is of great significance. Ma Teng said: "Okay, just listen to Chao'er." After fighting with Han Sui for his father, he returned to Chencang. ”
"Well, thank you, father." Ma Chao said.
Ma Teng patted Ma Chao's shoulder again and said, "That Chao'er, Han Sui's old thief will be handed over to you." The big things that my father and son are planning, whether the Fufeng Ma clan can one day dominate one side depends on you. There are a lot of people in the Western Cool Land, so you have to be more careful. ”
"Father rest assured, Chao will live up to his father's expectations." Ma Chao said solemnly.
In fact, what Ma Chao didn't say was that in fact, he persuaded Ma Teng to move to Chencang and defend the two counties of Anding and Hanyang, which had already been successful, in fact, there was another purpose, that is, to protect Ma Teng. Han Sui is really too old and calculating, and Ma Chao is always worried that Ma Teng will be calculated by Han Sui. In history, this is the case, Han Sui used a trick to sneak attack Ma Teng and kill Ma Teng's wife. It's just that this incident happened after Emperor Han Ling, and it didn't happen now. Therefore, Ma Chaocai persuaded Ma Teng to return to Chencang, which was to keep Ma Teng away from the dangerous Han Sui.
What Ma Chao didn't know was that Ma Teng had already seen Ma Chao's purpose, and persuaded him to return to Chencang with the intention of protecting him. This time, Han Sui sent Cheng Gongying to attack him, he was kept in the dark, but he let Ma Chaojiu die for life, Ma Teng was actually very upset in his heart. So Ma Teng agreed to this, he knew that without him, Ma Chao would have no worries about dealing with Han Suilai.
"Well, to get rid of Han Sui and capture Xiliang, the more soldiers and horses, the better. Guarding the rear for the father does not require too many soldiers and horses. Ma Teng said.
Ma Chao lowered his head, he knew that Ma Teng was going to hand over all the soldiers and horses to him.
"For the father, there are still 20,000 thousands of soldiers and horses here, so I will give you 20,000 horsemen, so that they can obey your orders. How is it? ”
Ma Chao immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, father." ”
Ma Teng said: "It's not enough to have soldiers and horses, you also need generals to assist you in running the army." As a father, I will give you another general. ”
Ma Chao was puzzled, and subconsciously looked at Ma Teng's generals, only to see that one of the several generals was particularly eye-catching, the general was very brave, eight feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a little more arrogance in his serious face, because as soon as he heard Ma Teng's words, he raised his head and looked at Ma Chao a few times.
Ma Chao is interested, most of the talented people are a little arrogant, this general looks like he should have a talent.
Ma Teng shouted: "Where is Ju Yi? ”
Ma Chao turned his head and looked, and sure enough, it was the general who had always been very proud of him. Ma Chao was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that the famous Houhan special forces instructor Ju Yi had actually become Ma Teng's general at this moment, which was really changeable.
