Chapter 41: General Pingxi
Three days later, a grand funeral was held in Xiliang City, with Ma Heng as the leader to worship Bian Zhang and others. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Everyone wears linen and filial piety, and ballistas roar into the sky.
"Han Sui's mansion was full of beheadings, and the property was also looted, and all of them were distributed to the main generals of the ministry, and the Bian Zhang Department was willing to support the lord, and several conflicts broke out between the Bian Zhangqiang Department and the Han Sui Department, all of which were barely suppressed. However, on the surface, they were willing to support the lord as the leader of the rebel army. He Shishi, the black-clothed guard who was kneeling beside him, prayed.
The funeral was over, Ma Heng was elected as the leader of the rebel army, but Ma Heng postponed the ceremony of claiming the king, and at the same time, Li Wenhou, who got the news of the death of Bian Zhang and others, did not return to Xiliangcheng to attend the funeral, but killed Jincheng County halfway, and supported the army to stand on his own in Jincheng. However, about 20,000 soldiers fled back to Xiliang City, after all, there were very few descendants of Li Wenhou in the army, and most of the soldiers' families were in Xiliang, but the troops that belonged to Han Sui before were all stayed, after all, they were all afraid of going back and being persecuted.
And at this moment, Dong Zhuojun, who was guarding stability, came to a guest who had not been seen before.
The middle door was opened, and Dong Zhuo led people out to greet him personally. Isn't it the horse that has been missing?
"Brother Bo Yi can let someone find him, but he is afraid that Bo Yi will suffer from the disaster of the army. ”
Ma Ben smiled ashamedly and bitterly: "Fleeing in a hurry is really against his duty, Bo Yi is here to bear the guilt of Jing Jing, and he is also ready to write to the court and wait for the fate." ”
Dong Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand, with a depressed expression: "Leading troops to fight is the responsibility of this assassination, and Bo Yi is going to be ashamed." If it weren't for the need to lead troops to resist the rebels to the death, a certain would have personally gone to Luoyang to ask the emperor for his guilt. ”
After saying the polite words, Ma Ben also ran down and went straight to the topic: "At the beginning, the rebel army had an unfilial son and an unfaithful brother to serve, but fortunately he was lost and returned, and he was willing to return to the Han Dynasty anyway, and wait for the dispatch of Lord Shi. ”
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed on the surface, but he didn't let go at all, and after sending Ma Ben away, he discussed with Li Ru and the others in the study.
"Good strategy, swallow the rebels in one bite, and then take the opportunity to surrender and ask the court for a name. In three or five years, this Liangzhou will be surnamed Ma. ”
Dong Zhuo's face was pale, and his eyes were cold, "This Ma clan's act of swallowing snakes and elephants may not be digested at this moment, so it is better to send a large army to take the opportunity to exterminate this rebel army!"
At this moment, the rebel army was at its weakest, but Li Ru hurriedly shook his head: "By all means, although the rebel army is weak at this moment, if the enemy is present, it will be the same enemy." On the contrary, it can allow Nama to take the opportunity to integrate the troops and seize the military power of the whole army. According to the West Liangcheng for three years and five years, the lord can not afford to spend it. ”
Dong Zhuo slapped the desk angrily, and suddenly the desk shattered, "Could it be that I watched the Ma clan seize Xiliang!"
Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's inevitable." ”
Seeing that Dong Zhuo looked unwilling, Li Rucai hurriedly said: "Although Xiliang is lost, the lord doesn't have to be too disappointed, don't we also take the opportunity to occupy the three counties of Anding, Fufeng and Tianshui, then the Ma clan is also wise, not to surrender to the imperial court, but to surrender to the lord, this is willing to give up this military merit to the lord, the court will be rewarded, not to mention that we are only a few days away from this land of Gyeonggi." ”
Jia Xu said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the emperor won't last a few years." ”
Dong Zhuo slowly regained his composure, and in his place, the fire of raging ambition became more and more vigorous.
"That Ma clan wants to easily capture Xiliang but it may not be, his majesty is willing to personally send the envoy to the Li Wenhou department, and he will definitely let him claim to the lord! What's more, the rebel army may not be convinced to let a small child be the master of the house!"
As Li Ru set out for Jincheng County, a few days later, Li Wenhou's troops changed banners and announced the surrender of the Han Dynasty.
......
In Xiliang City, the first military meeting dominated by Ma Heng.
The generals clamored to lead their troops to attack Dong Zhuo's army and achieve great things. Even Ma Teng bluntly said that he was willing to lead the army to let Li Wenhou return to Xiliang to worship Bian Zhang.
Ma Heng didn't say a word until everyone slowly looked at him silently, and then said slowly: "The army has been fighting for nearly four years, and Xiliang should rest and recuperate." I have made up my mind to be a vassal to the court!"
Seeing that everyone was shocked, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to listen to him, "Don't worry, it's just that you don't listen to the announcement, everyone has become a Han general! Garrison Xiliang for the Han Dynasty!" Seeing that many people are interested in moving, not everyone wants to fight, not to mention that the war-weariness of the soldiers below is even stronger, Ma Heng smiled slightly, and asked the guards on the side to spread out a map, "This Xiliang has thousands of acres of ownerless land, it is better to distribute it first." ”
And just when Ma Heng was discussing with everyone, a rumor also began to circulate in the army, the army stopped fighting, and everyone became the generals of the Han Dynasty, and the officers were rewarded with fields, and the ordinary soldiers were also happy, but they didn't want to fight, especially the generals who surrendered to the army.
At the same time, Jia Xu also came to a cell, where Yan Xing, who was unconscious that day, was imprisoned in the room, Jia Xu came to persuade him to surrender, Yan Xing's martial arts made Ma Heng happy, not to mention, Han Suijun can't candidate for a main general, Yan Xing's prestige in Han Suijun is not low, there are two main generals in the first army, Ma Heng can feel at ease. Except for Han Sui's department, the rest of the departments are like this, Ma Heng consciously divided the main generals, not one as the main general of a large army, each of them has their own ideas, and it is difficult to unite against themselves.
For example, even though he knew that Bian Fu had a heart of disobedience, Ma Heng still divided the original Bian Zhang Department into two, one led by Cheng Gongying and the other led by Bian Fu. It also greatly calmed the restless heart of the original side chapter.
And the generals who knew Ma Heng's plan had to jump willingly. Everyone is unwilling to ride on their heads from their former colleagues, let alone being promoted and making a fortune, and how many are willing to refuse?
With Ma Ben and Dong Zhuo's cronies and others departing for Luoyang, and when Ma Ben and others arrived in Luoyang. Too often Liu Yan wrote a book, under the pretext that the Yellow Turban Army was not effective in guarding against the Yellow Turban Army, and the state pastor needed to be reset. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who knew his fate for a short time, took Liu Yan as the pastor of Yizhou and Huang Wan as the pastor of Yuzhou, and in the same year, he took Zongzheng Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou. Liu Biao of the clan is the pastor of Jingzhou. Trying to get the clans in control of the place, and remove the obstacles to his young son Liu Wei taking over the throne. With the arrival of Ma Ben, Dong Zhuo was named Liangzhou Mu, Ma Heng was the general of Pingxi, and Ma Ben stayed in Luoyang as the imperial historian.
At the will, the Han was shocked, and in fact made the various state pastors form warlords. After the governors took office, they were basically no longer under the control of the imperial court.
Half a month later, under the greeting of the army, the angel announced the decree, and Ma Heng, who knelt on the ground to receive the decree, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and the big man died.
