Chapter 101: The Sky Has Changed!
In a few years, it is not only the battlefield in the northwest that has changed you, nor is it just Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song.
There are also changes in Gongsun Zhu's own.
Jincheng County Taishou is not just an official position.
At this time, Gongsun Zhu had completely controlled many cities in Jincheng County, and had a great reputation by relying on the soldiers and generals under his command.
After all, the entire northwest can't find any force that can compare with his Gongsun Zhu.
has Guan Ning as a great Confucian in his hand, although he will not give advice easily, but it has greatly deepened his fame.
He also helped Gongsun Zhu to teach the people, greatly promote education, and even educate the Qiang Huyi people.
There are also Cheng Gongying and Tian Chou above the strategists, among which Cheng Gongying is still a native of Liangzhou, and he was quickly promoted by Gongsun Zhu to be a real handsome.
Now this Cheng Gongying itself is quite unavoidable in Liangzhou.
And in terms of military generals, needless to say, Ma Teng and Ma Chao father and son are very comfortable with the support of Gongsun Zhu.
Compared with the ill-fated in history, this time the father and son of the Ma family are much easier.
There is not so much deceit, because of the sworn with Gongsun Zhu, Ma Teng not only has his own soldiers and generals, but also has a very high status in Jincheng County.
Ma Teng does not have such big ambitions, both now and in the future.
He still has more expectations for himself and his family, and that's what Gongsun Zhu gave him.
Give him a stable environment, give him enough troops to protect himself, and treat his eldest nephew Ma Chao even more optimistically.
At this time, Ma Chao was just a child, and as soon as he entered Jincheng County, he threw Gongsun Zhu in front of Guan Ning, and he was taught by this great Confucian in the world.
Even Guan Ning is not very old now, but his background and mentorship are existences that Ma Teng can't even imagine.
With a Confucian like Guan Ning personally teaching his son, Commander Ma Teng felt excited.
even beat him up because Ma Chao didn't want to study at first, and it is said that he almost broke Ma Chao's leg.
It was Gongsun Zhu and Guan Ning who joined forces to protect Ma Chao.
Guan Ning taught Ma Chao the strategy of faith and the art of war, and Gongsun Zhu promised Ma Chao that as long as he was willing to study under Mr. Guan Ning.
Then give him the opportunity to form a soldier alone in the future.
And Ma Chao's knowledge will be assessed every six months, if his knowledge satisfies Gongsun Zhu and Ma Teng.
Gongsun Zhu will immediately fulfill part of his promise.
Under the "persuasion" of Gongsun Zhu and Guan Ning, Ma Chao successfully became Guan Ning's disciple.
And in the past four years, Ma Chao has changed a lot.
He still likes to ride horses and gallop on the vast land of the northwest, like to lead troops to rush around, and likes to get together with the Qianghu people.
even did a lot of impulsive and reckless things because of personal vendettas.
However, at least his character is no longer so unruly.
The most important thing is that under the deliberate teaching of Guan Ning and Gongsun Zhu, he began to value family affection.
After all, this time his parents have always been by his side, and Gongsun Zhu is also very fond of him as an uncle.
It's just that what makes Ma Teng feel a little embarrassed is that Ma Chao is much more honest in front of them now, but his attitude towards Gongsun Zhu is obviously better than that of himself.
This.... Gongsun Zhu felt embarrassed.
But it is undeniable that after having more Ma Chao around him, he is also much more relieved.
Ma Chao and Zhao Yun have become the right-hand men of Gongsun Zhu's side, and their bravery has also helped Gongsun Zhu gain a firm foothold in this northwest land.
Coupled with the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and the many scribes around him, Gongsun Zhu at this time already had enough strength to deal with the next things.
"General, now that the northwest is quite stable, after Han Sui rebelled several times and surrendered several times, there is no force in the northwest that can stir up the storm.
I'm waiting to continue to feed and grass, and allocate troops and horses, isn't there some... Some are too much...."
After a certain discussion, Liu Bei looked at Jincheng County, who was constantly fighting against the horses, and finally couldn't help the panic in his heart and came to Gongsun Zhu.
I want Gongsun Zhu to give himself an answer, or to give himself a guarantee.
Liu Bei's words are actually not important, there is only one thing that really matters, that is, what Gongsun Zhu is going to do!
Previously, Gongsun Zhu continued to prepare grain and grass, constantly expand soldiers and horses, and find ways to open up trade routes in the Western Regions with the help of Meng Ta, which can be understood.
After all, the chaos in the northwest has come again and again, as long as Gongsun Zhu does not do anything excessive, as long as he continues to be on the road of counterinsurgency.
Then even Huangfu Song won't say anything.
After all, in the past few years, because of Gongsun Zhu, the Qianghu in the northwest have not been able to really rise up several times.
Because Gongsun Zhu firmly curbed the development of Qianghu, and Jincheng County, where he was located, was also sure to cut the road between Yongliang.
At the very least, we can't let the Qianghu of Liangzhou continue to get involved in the affairs of Yongzhou.
Officially, because of this, Gongsun Zhu was able to walk down steadily.
But during this time, Liu Bei looked at the Yongliang Erzhou in the northwest that was becoming more and more calm, and he felt that the current Gongsun Zhu should not have this kind of thought.
And he really can't find any part of the force that is worthy of Gongsun Zhu now.
If I had to say that there was a force... There may be only one.
Gongsun Zhu himself!
So Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zhu in front of him at this time, and his face was very embarrassed.
"Brother Xuande, are you worried that a certain family will become another Han Sui?"
Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, this Gongsun Zhu also understood the other party's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile at the same time.
also tell the other party directly, it doesn't have to be like this.
"Xuande Gong, you can rest assured, a certain family does want to be a general, but they don't want to be a rebel and thief.
At the very least... A certain family did not intend to start a rebellion in Liangzhou.
The rebellion here will not last long! ”
After Liu Bei heard Gongsun Zhu's words, his face not only did not improve, but even became even darker.
He always felt that Gongsun Zhu was not assuring himself that he would not rebel.
It was more like he was telling himself that he was going to rebel, but now was not the time.
This strange feeling made Liu Bei's heart extremely uneasy.
Perhaps feeling the panic and uneasiness in Liu Bei's heart, this Gongsun Zhu finally couldn't help but stand up slowly.
Under Liu Bei's rather cautious gaze, he whispered to Liu Bei.
"Brother Xuande, you can rest assured.
A certain family did not want to rebel, it did not have before, and it will not have it now. ”
"Then you're so skilled..."
"It's just a matter of preparation." Gongsun Zhu interrupted Liu Bei's words, and then looked at the somewhat gloomy sky outside the window.
At this moment, his face was also a little gloomy.
"God... It's changed! ”
