Yang Zong hurriedly walked into the West Hall.

At this moment, Cao Chao was meeting with the generals who were the first to return.

Zhuge Dan is gradually withdrawing his men and horses from Shu, and the Chinese army is returning to Luoyang.

The first to come back were Ma Long, Wen Yang, and Cheng Yan.

Probably because these three have made the most contributions and need to be rewarded first.

The three of them sat in front of Cao Chao and looked very happy.

Malone is no exception.

This time, through his military exploits accumulated over the years, he directly made an exception from the lieutenant of the Chinese military to become the commander of one party, General Anxi, at this level, he took another step up, that is, the level of the four towns.

This is too rare for Ma Long, who is not from a big clan.

If he is from Fufeng and surnamed Ma, it is not a big deal to be a general of Anxi, but it is a family close to the common people, and it is great to be able to produce a general Anxi.

At this level, Ma Long's own family has begun to develop in the direction of a big clan, and as long as Ma Long can continue to make meritorious contributions, a new Yanzhou Ma family will appear.

Ma Long has made too many contributions over the years, although he is not as simple and rude as Wen Yang, he can complete every task assigned to him by the boss excellently, and he can also give a good military strategy, repeatedly break the enemy's main force, conquer the city, and win the love of many commanders.

After Deng Ai was deposed, Yongliang needed a new person to command his army and guard there, although the Shu Kingdom had perished, but Yongliang's position was still very important.

Ma Long is one of Cao Chao's absolute henchmen, and in terms of ability, there is nothing to say, he is the best candidate to replace Deng Ai.

Cao Chao instructed at this moment: "Xiaoxing, after going to Chang'an, don't be in a hurry to participate in government affairs, listen more and learn more, don't follow Deng Ai, there are many Qiang Hu in the local area, Pei Xiu is going over there now, although this person is lazy, but he is talented, you can cooperate with him more, don't offend him"

Cao Chao taught Ma Long the strategy of sitting in Yongliang very seriously.

This kind of general who guards one side is different from the lieutenant of the middle army, which is only responsible for obeying orders, fighting in wartime, and practicing the rest of the time.

However, to guard the locality, it is necessary to supervise the local officials, maintain good relations with them, appease the local Hu people, ensure the safety of military measures, and so on.

In the absence of Zhenxi, Malone became the highest military governor in the local area, and there were many things to worry about.

It can be seen that Cao Chao is also a little worried.

Unlike those veterans, these young people were personally promoted by Cao Chao from the local area, and Cao Chao also attaches great importance to their training and support, and is also worried about what problems will occur to them.

Ma Long said very seriously: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely not live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!" ”

Malone looks very resolute, and judging from his face, he is easy to trust.

"So is the minister!!"

Wen Yang also hurriedly opened his mouth.

Wen Yang doesn't look particularly convincing.

But Cao Chao was not very worried about him.

Of course, it's not because Cao Chao doesn't like this person, it's just because he, the general of Pingbei, is not as troublesome as Ma Long, and he still has a Yanghu on his side.

Moreover, he did not get to the point where Malone could give orders to local officials.

To put it simply, let him sit in Youzhou and be responsible for staring at those Xianbei people.

In the Xianbei tribes, except for the Duan department, the rest can boldly do it.

Now among the many Hu people, the Xianbei cavalry seems to be the strongest, after the Huns settled in the state, the sinicization became more and more serious, which can be seen from the name of their tribal commander, all of them are a group of people surnamed Liu, and a few surnamed Li, surnamed Zhang

Many Xiongnu commanders wore Hanfu in private and had their own mansions, and they hadn't been on horseback for many years.

This change began with their commanders and gradually spread to the rest of the population.

They no longer had to fight with wild beasts, many of them had a fixed home, and they did not move out, and some of the Huns simply took up errands in the city.

So, Liu Meng and his father led the Huns to a fierce encounter with the Xianbei Tuoba Department, but the result was that the former overlord was killed and collapsed, and hurriedly ran into the pass, guarding the checkpoint with the Great Wei soldiers, for fear that the Hu people outside the fortress would come in.

What a ridiculous scene.

Who would have thought that the Huns would one day have to rely on the city walls to defend against the Hu people outside the fortress?

In short, Yongliang needs a calm general, like Ma Long.

And Yonghe needs a strong general, such as Wen Yang.

Wenyang is in Youzhou, he must have to deal with Xianbei in various departments, Yanghu has also mentioned the problem of these Xianbei people several times before, with Wenyang such a capable general under his command, Yanghu must be a lot more at ease, and he will be grateful for his kindness!

looked at Wen Yang who was sitting in front of him, blinking his eyes, ready to listen to his instructions.

Cao Chao opened his mouth helplessly.

"Ah Yang, after you go to the place, you must listen to General Yang's words, don't do anything to the rest of the people, don't hurt the officials, don't take the army to rush to kill Xianbei, the relationship between the Xianbei of Liaodong and the Great Wei is still good, even if you want to fight, you must first see what kind of tribe the other party is before making a move."

"If you capture the opposing generals, treat them with courtesy, and don't drag them to death with horses."

"If General Yang reprimands, you must obey him, and you must not argue with him"

Cao Chao's instructions at this moment are completely different from Fang Cai.

But Wenyang listened to it with relish.

Cheng Qi laughed, Cheng Qi didn't need to be ordered, he was directly sent to Huainan, and in the future, he would serve as a general under Biqiu Jian.

He is also quite pure in his own right.

Yang Zong stood at the door, a little anxious.

Cao Chao also saw him, so he asked a few people to go back and prepare for hair.

Several people bowed and then left.

After walking out of here, Wen Yang couldn't help but open his mouth, and he looked at Ma Long on the side proudly.

"Captain Ma, don't look at you as one level higher than me, but when His Majesty explained the big things to the two of us, he just told you to get along with the officials, but told me not to beat them!"

"It can be seen that Your Majesty still values me more!"

When Malone heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

In fact, the captains of the Chinese army are very tolerant of Wenyang.

Because Wen Yang is too young, not a few years older than their children.

Several of these commanders can be his grandfathers.

Cheng Qi quipped: "You must value it, you even want to fight General Zhenxi, and you are not inferior to a General Zhenbei, I think that on the third day of your tenure, you will be arrested for disobeying the general's order!" ”

Wen Yang muttered.

Ma Long said solemnly: "Ah Yang, when you go to Hebei, it is different from the Chinese army, the generals are absolutely inviolable, if the generals do not die in the hands of the enemy, but die in the hands of their own generals, it is a great shame Moreover, if you violate the military order and are disposed of, whether it is your father or Your Majesty, there is no way to say anything." ”

"I've heard that General Sheep has a docile personality, but he is upright, you must not act willfully."

Wen Yang nodded thoughtfully.

The three of them walked out, but Yang Zong said a very important piece of information at this moment.

"What?? Cochin reversed?? ”

When Cao Chao heard the news, he was also extremely shocked.

Yang Zong laughed, "Your Majesty, this is a rebellion, not a rebellion. ”

"The king of Eastern Wu acted perversely, the people finally couldn't bear it, I heard, because of Puyang Xing's order, the county guard forcibly arrested Zhuang Ding and sent him to Jianye, and if he didn't obey, he was executed on the street, and he also asked the people in the county to give grain for Hutian's use, and the local officials couldn't bear it, so they killed Taishou and raised troops to resist"

If such a thing happens on your own land, it is called a rebellion, and if it happens in the state of Wu, it must be called an uprising.

Yang Zong also corrected Cao Chao's slip of the tongue.

Cao Chao was happy at first, and then sighed again.

"The officials who can be forced to kill officials and rebel, how far have the local people been tossed."

Yang Zong said solemnly: "This emperor of Eastern Wu has some ability, but he lacks long-term vision. ”

"He obviously wants to use his unfounded cronies to fight the big clan, but doesn't he know that such a move will bring greater disaster to the people?"

"Maybe he knows, but he doesn't care!"

Yang Zong said disdainfully: "Such a person can rule the world, but he is not enough to gain a foothold in the chaotic world." ”

Cao Chao nodded, "Order, don't let Huo Yi come to Luoyang, let him go back to Nanzhong first, and let Zhuge Dan also send someone over, let them pick up Wen Qin and the others, and take over Jiaozhi County"

"Jiaozhi County is the core of Jiaozhou, and occupying this place is equivalent to taking Jiaozhou."

"If Jiaozhou is taken, the situation in Soochow will be even more difficult."

Cao Chao's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Yang Gong, you said that this Wu Kingdom will not perish, right?" ”

Yang Zong is not good at expressing his opinion on this.

He didn't know why, obviously his own family had a great advantage, but both Shu and Wu were developing in a direction that was getting worse and worse, which didn't seem to be because the Wei people were too powerful, but because they were too stretched.

This is the case with Shu, as soon as they smuggled to Chengdu, the other party surrendered.

This is even more true of the state of Wu now, when there is a war on the front line, there is a lot of construction in the rear, and the counties and counties are forced to rebel.

This is to forcibly increase the difficulty for one's own people and make it convenient for the other party.

Cao Chao was not too surprised, in an era when everyone was rotten together, Cao Wei was no longer rotten because of his own rise, and the other two countries that continued to rot looked so unbearable.

However, this is a good thing, to complete the unification as quickly as possible, the world will be one, and the turmoil of more than 100 years will be quelled in your own hands.

Cao Chao waved his hand, "Go and call Chen Qian and Deng Ai as well, I have something important to discuss with them!" ”

"Yui!!"

Yang Zong left here in a hurry.

Deng Ai is reflecting on his mistakes in Luoyang at the moment, saying that he is introspecting, but in fact, he is cultivating, the emperor did not restrict his travel, he was provided with good food and drink, and his life was not worse than that of An Legong.
