Chapter 157: The price of seafood has risen (monthly pass plus change)
Ma Chao's rebellion made Ma Teng blind.
Although he was forced by Li Dao and Guo Yan, Ma Teng actually didn't want to be an enemy of Dong Huang, the gap in strength between them was one thing, and Ma Yunlu's favor was another.
Ma Teng has always known that Ma Yunlu is one of Dong Huang's three most favored female guards, and with this relationship, Ma Teng believes that as long as he cooperates with Dong Huang, he will never die, and he will even live a very nourishing life.
However, Ma Chao, the great filial son, did not care about the life or death of his father, let alone his brother and sister, and resolutely raised troops with the support of the local wealthy family.
Regarding Ma Chao's rebellion, Jia Xu was very indifferent, and he did not mean to deal with Ma Teng's father and son.
In fact, Jia Xu didn't take Ma Chao's rebellion seriously at all, but only ordered Huang Zhong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahoudun, Cheng Yu, Ma Teng, Yan Xing, Qin Yilu and others to march west.
Jia Xu not only wanted to suppress Ma Chao's rebellion, but also to destroy the local forces in Hexi in one fell swoop, and then reopen the Western Regions Protectorate.
Jia Xu has heard Dong Huang say more than once that the melons in the Western Regions are big and white, and Dong Huang was about to drool when he said it.
As an "old father" who broke his heart for Dong Huang, of course Jia Xu has to fulfill Dong Huang's wish.
Of course, Jia Xu, who even gave Ma Teng a chance to atone for his sins for the sake of Ma Yunlu's face, would not be as stupid as the hairy boy Fa Zheng to marry Dong Huang.
Regarding the matter of sending a girl, Jia Xu didn't even say a word.
But Jia Xu believes that Huang Zhong, who even gave his daughter to Dong Huang, will definitely bring some local products to Dong Huang when he arrives in the Western Regions.
As for whether the local products of the Western Regions are white and round melons and fruits, sour and sweet grapes, or tender and smooth cows, it is none of his business, he has never arranged it anyway!
At that time, even if it is Dong Huang's tiger and wolf concubines, it will be impossible to point the finger at him, at most, Huang Wudie will be consistent with Dong Huang's concubines and will not kiss her old father.
What a big deal!
Can you still rely on me for the discord between your father and daughter?
Taking a step back, if Huang Zhongzhong is not enlightened and does not bring local products to Dong Huang, then it doesn't matter, Jia Xu believes that Qin Yilu will definitely remind him.
Qin Yilu and Hu Che'er are the only tools that Jia Xu often uses, and they will always surprise people at critical moments.
Among the two, Hu Che'er has no brains, is very obedient, and can walk thirty rounds in Dian Wei's hands, which is a good fighter; And although Qin Yilu is a little smart, he doesn't have a lower limit, and now when he thinks of Qin Yilu sending his wife, Jia Xu still wants to laugh.
However, at that time, Jia Xu needed to send women to defile himself, but now, as the head of the officials under Dong Huang, Jia Xu only needs to have a good relationship with Dong Huang's close people.
This kind of good relationship does not mean to please people, but it means that people don't just abandon ghosts and hate them like Fazheng.
In short, what Jia Xu wants is that Dong Huang knows that the Western Expedition is led by him, and he will not forget his good when he eats the fruits of the Western Regions and drinks the milk of the Western Regions in the future; But at the same time, Dong Huang's concubines will not hate him, but only hate Huang Zhong, which is enough.
For the important task of the Western Expedition, Huang Zhong is still very happy, and breaking through the Western Regions is a martial artist in the annals of history.
As for Ma Chao, Huang Zhong didn't look at it in his eyes - what is there to be afraid of a little doll who can't even beat Zhang Liao? What's more, Huang Zhong also took Ma Chao's father Ma Teng.
As soon as Ma Teng came forward before the formation, he could at least break half of Ma Chao's army's military heart. The rest is also a wave of things.
Huang Zhong's only concern is the logistics of the army's grain and grass, after all, Dong Huang's army has always been not rich in grain and grass, and in this expedition to the Western Regions, grain and grass are the biggest enemy.
Subconsciously glanced at his old partner Cheng Yu, Huang Zhong shook his head unconsciously, his eyes were extremely firm: "It seems that you have to suffer the big clans of the Hexi Corridor, you are not bitter, but ......we are the ones who are bitter."
From beginning to end, Huang Hansheng never thought of the possibility of Jia Xu's ulterior motives.
Jia Xu easily occupied Chang'an, and Dong Huang was not idle, even easier than Jia Xu.
After all, Jia Xu needs to use his brains and make layouts, it can be said that he has been in charge of the Northern Expedition since he entered Yizhou, and he didn't even have time to go to Dong Huang to pacify the battle in Nanzhong; The success of the Battle of Yongzhou was completely due to Jia Xu's nearly two years of planning and scheduling.
On the other hand, Dong Huang ...... His greatest contribution may be that he didn't use his brain, otherwise, he might have had more twists and turns.
But anyway, he was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition against Yuan Shao, right?
Jia Xu just took away most of Yongzhou, and the land east of the river is still in the hands of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, which can not be called a complete achievement, and he Dong Huang not only won the entire Yangzhou and Xuzhou, but also took most of Yuzhou, and directly pushed the front to Yanzhou, which borders Cao Cao, and Qingzhou, which is extremely empty.
Facts aside, let's compare who occupies more territory and who annihilates more enemies!
[I, Dong, am really an unborn military wizard! ] 】
Because the road was muddy and the weather was hot and he was reluctant to go north, Dong Huang, who took the beauty to Huangshan to escape the summer, was quite complacent, and felt that he also had the style of a wise general who "strategized and won thousands of miles away".
In this regard, Fa Zheng, who went to Shouchun with one foot and one foot in the mud, crossed the river from Shouchun to personally command the army to attack Cao Cao's hometown of Qiao County, has something to say.
Although it is true that Dong Huang boasted of "strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away", Fa Zheng was extremely dissatisfied with this absolutely superior battle.
In this battle, although Dong Huangjun has no problems in strategy, it is definitely a mess in terms of tactics, if it weren't for the fact that the front-line generals are really strong enough, the soldiers are elite enough, and they have fought one beautiful battle after another, and it is still unknown who will die.
Fa Zheng even felt that if his generals and soldiers were on the same level as Yuan Shaojun, this battle would inevitably be a big defeat.
So what kind of face does he have when he hits such a bad account!
This is also an important reason why Fa Zheng came to the front line in person, he refused to accept it, and he couldn't command three or five hundred thousand troops?
Fa Zheng was bent on proving himself, but Cao Cao panicked.
Yanzhou was originally a place of four wars, but as soon as he woke up, there were Gao Shun and Tai Shici in the east, Zhang Liao, Zhou Tai, Xu Huang in the south, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Le Jin and others in the west, a total of five or six hundred thousand troops, how can this be done?
As soon as it hits, it's all plains, and there is not even a big rear!
"What can I do about it!"
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You.
What can I do about it?
Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu looked at each other silently.
In the face of absolute strength, the scheme pales in comparison.
Cao Cao has been working very hard these days, and his salary is ...... The number of soldiers has also been growing, and since the defeat of Luoyang and Chenliu, his soldiers have expanded from less than 10,000 to almost 200,000 now.
So is it that he really doesn't work hard?
But in the face of Dong Huang's faster-growing army, Cao Cao felt a deep powerlessness.
That feeling is like you have saved half a year's salary and want to reward the female anchor for a shot, but the female anchor has the full support of more big brothers, and the price has soared to the same despair as if you could only get a shot after three years of salary.
It's not that you don't work hard, it's that the price of seafood has increased too much.
Thank you brothers for your monthly pass support! I didn't expect so many brothers to vote these days, thank you very much!
