After inspecting the trilogy and looking at the armament, now Ma Chao is full of ambition and his blood is hard to cool. Ma Chao is confident that with such strength, it is not too difficult to conquer a Han Sui who occupies Hexi and has few soldiers, as if he has now squeezed Hexi tightly in the palm of his hand.

At the end of the inspection, everyone joined the food and drink procession in twos and threes. This time, Ma Chao prepared 20,000 fat sheep for the army, and they were all lambs, that is, castrated rams. This kind of sheep is not only fat, delicious and fragrant, but also has a light taste, and with turbid wine, it is simply the first enjoyment in the world.

Ma Chao had no intention of eating, watching the generals and soldiers eating meat and drinking in large bowls, it was very lively, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Jia Xu didn't know when he stood beside Ma Chao, watched the hot military friendship with him, and was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Jia Xu smiled and said: "I guess it's decided, the young master's heart has already flown to Hexi at this moment." ”

Ma Chao chuckled: "Jia Wenhe is really worthy of being a roundworm in my stomach, and I can't hide anything from you." But don't say that you're not, you didn't fight with Han Sui during the Battle of Caohan, you already wanted to compete with Cheng Gongying. ”

Jia Xu also smiled: "Now the officers and men of our army can go on an expedition at any time, and a few days later will be the day when the young master secretly set out for the expedition." What is the young master still worried about? ”

Ma Chao said: "The imperial court has arranged eyeliner in Liangzhou in a dignified manner, and out of reform and political use, I opened the door to thieves and lure wolves into the house, so that Yang Biao can go deep into the assassination mansion." The expedition to Hexi is naturally insignificant, and if Yang Biao is allowed to find out, then my risk of going to war in October will be in vain. ”

Jia Xu said: "This matter is easy to hear. The subordinate Qianlong has been initially established, and it has been discovered that Yang Biao and his attendants are the eyes and ears of the imperial court. In Jincheng Horse Market, there is also a shop that serves as a liaison office between Yang Biao and Chen Cangcheng and Chang'an City, who pretend to be suppliers who travel between Liangzhou and Sanfu, passing information and exchanging information every eight days. There are five people in the Assassin's Mansion who are the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and there are also two taishou and four county orders who are suspected of having their hearts set on the imperial court. As long as the young master gives an order, the hidden dragon can kill it, and even Yang Biao can't escape. ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "Yang Biao is talented, I can't bear to kill him." Besides, if you get rid of those eyes and ears now, the imperial court will definitely suspect that there is a change in Liangzhou, and even judge that our army is going to fight, which will be a startling snake. ”

Jia Xu lowered his head: "But it's the subordinates who lack thought." ”

Ma Chao said: "You can pretend to use the right of the official Cao to test the merits of the election, in the name of anti-corruption, put some charges on the ears and eyes of those lurking in the Liangzhou Assassin's Mansion and the prefecture and county, and then get rid of them openly." Remember that when fighting corruption, we should not only include those eyes and ears, but also mix other non-eyes and ears, so as to disturb the eyes of the court, so that the court cannot see the essence of our rape. ”

Jia Xu bowed: "My subordinates will do it in two days." Gongcao has built a lot of buildings, and Hucao has rewarded too much, and some people can't resist the temptation, and it is indeed time to fight corruption. It happens that anti-corruption and hoeing are done together. ”

Ma Chao said: "As for Yang Biao's attendants and his liaison with Huangfu Yizhen, don't move yet, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Jia Xu said: "If the young master wants to keep Huangfu Yizhen in the dark and successfully conquer Han Sui, he must deceive Yang Biao and make him think that the young master has no sign of sending troops to Hexi. The subordinates have a plan: now the lord is planning to divide the 150,000 hectares of land in Longxi and Tianshui into the private land of the Ma family, and the young master can go to Longxi and Tianshui counties to handle the land division under the pretense of going out of Jincheng and Yuanyang Biao, the young master is not by Jincheng and Yang Biao's side, and Yang Biao is Cao Peng, so he can't leave his post lightly, so naturally he can't detect the young master's movements.

In addition, the lord is planning to find mineral deposits in Wuwei County, and the young master can send Yang Biao to lead a team to Wuwei County to find ore under the pretext that the matter is big and Yang Biao is Gong Cao Peng, so that he can find mineral deposits, and supervise Gong Cao to establish dozens of mines in Wuwei County and hire craftsmen to mine and refine.

In the past, Wuwei County had never found mineral deposits, and if Yang Biao wanted to find mineral deposits and establish a mining farm, it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he would not have the energy to take care of the young master who was far away in Longxi. Besides, he already believed that the young master would not move until next year. Before that, he wouldn't care too much about the young master's movements. As long as the young master successfully exterminates Han Wenyue, pacifies Hexi, and returns to Jincheng before next year, Yang Biao and Huangfu Yizhen will not affect the young master. ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Okay, just do what you say." You are also ready, I am ready to let you accompany the army and participate in the painting of military aircraft; Yang Fu stayed in Jincheng to assist my father and resist the possible invasion of Huangfu Yizhen. ”

Jia Xu was about to ask Ma Chao how many troops he was going to take to Hexi, when suddenly a cloud of smoke and dust came out of the horizon in the distance, and he rode into the dust. Ma Chao recognized from a distance that it was Yang Biao who was galloping.

Ma Chao said: "When I say that Yang Biao and Yang Biao have arrived, I will confuse him." There you go. ”

"Whoa." Jia Xu retreated.

Yang Biao quickly ran to Ma Chao and dismounted. Ma Chao saw that Yang Biao was slightly angry.

Yang Biao even threw down the horse, walked quickly in front of Ma Chao, and saluted slightly.

Ma Chao smiled and said, "What kind of wind blew Yang Gong here?" Does Yang Gong want to see my Xiliang Iron Cavalry perform martial arts? Then Yang Gong is late, the martial arts exercise has ended, and the soldiers are resting. ”

Yang Biao looked indifferent and said: "I'm not here to see the Xiliang Army's martial arts, but it's a ferocious and brutal ear, what's so good?" ”

Xiliangjun was turned into "ferocious" by Yang Biao, Ma Chao was naturally angry, immediately restrained his smile, and said coldly: "In this case, why did Yang Gong come here?" If there is nothing to do, Yang Gong can quickly return to the council, after all, Yang Gong has carried out so many civil works, and more than half of them have not been completed! I'm gone. ”

Yang Biao stretched out his hand to stop in front of Ma Chao, blocking the way, and said, "Slow! There is indeed something going on here, so you have to ask the general to find out! ”

"What?"

Yang Biao said: "Many letters from Liangzhou families reflect that the general assigned Yang Fu to defraud the real estate and household registration of the family, and now these are all owned by the Assassin Mansion, and some families do not obey, and they are also surrounded by the Assassin Mansion to surround the dock fort, force each other to death, and then detain in prison, yes or no?" ”

Ma Chao didn't expect Yang Biao to come to him for this matter, only to remember that Yang Biao was also from a family, and the appeal of Hongnong Yang's in the world was second only to Runan Yuan's, and he was the leader of the Kansai family, so it was indeed normal to make trouble for this matter.

However, Ma Chao has already got the acres and hukou he wants, and Yang Biao can't do anything with him.

Ma Chao said presumptuously: "That's the case, how will Yang Gong be treated?" ”

Yang Biao was furious, pointed at Ma Chao's nose, and said: "The general, as an official of the imperial court, leads tens of thousands of troops, and Ling Zun is an assassin, shepherd and guard one side, and the power is so powerful that the three princes and nine kings are not yet able to reach it." Why do such a despicable and shameless thing in order to stir up the people's resentment? ”
