I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 271 Liu Long’s Attitude
"The road to Longyou has been opened?" When Liu Long heard this, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows again, "Are you sure?"

"Well, we opened the road from Longyou to Hanzhong, and we had contact with Cheng Xin and others." Ban Xiong also understood what Liu Long's doubts were, but he explained it anyway.

"Ma Xian is indeed quite brave, but he has a lot of troops and horses under his command, and because the situation of my big man in the northwest is not optimistic, the cavalry under his command cannot be replenished.

The most important thing is that after a series of fights, Hou Ba, the captain of the Qiang Guard beside him, was old after all. In the end, he helped Ma Xian open the road to Longyou, so that the people of Hanzhong could feel at ease.

However, he died immediately after the war.

This is why Pang Shen, the current governor of Youzhou, once again assumed the official position of the Qiang Protector Colonel when he was the governor of Hanyang County before.

After this battle, Ma Xian did not stay in Hanzhong, but had contact with Cheng Xin and his Banzhen Man, as well as Hanzhong Prefect Deng Cheng and others, and then returned to Yongliang.

Previously, Pang Shen was dismissed from his official post because of the unfavorable war and was escorted to the capital. The court wanted to stabilize the northwest.

So Ma Xian was asked to replace him and became the new Colonel Protecting Qiang.

At this time, he happened to be stationed under the command of General Ren Shang, but because his strength was greatly reduced, even though he was stationed in General Ren Shang's camp at this time, he did not get much use.

If His Majesty is willing to call this person here at this time, he will definitely rush over without hesitation. "

"Yes, I understand." Liu Long nodded slowly after hearing these words, "Send the order and ask Ma Xian to come see me immediately. I have something to ask."

Liu Long did not waste time. Even though this general who came out from the battlefield still had many problems, it did not prevent him from being a very useful person now.

In fact, Liu Long still likes people like Ban Zhao and Ma Xu who gave up their writing and joined the army, or who were able to give up their writing and join the army.

It's not that Liu Long also valued civility over military affairs, but there was originally no relationship between civility and military affairs. But one thing that is undeniable is that those officials who deal with government affairs all year round or study knowledge all year round, as well as Confucianism and Taoism.

In fact, they have great advantages, such as their thoughts are delicate enough!

This matter may sound like nothing, but if it is placed on the battlefield, a thoughtful general is very important to the war, or to the soldiers under his command.

Abandoning the pen and joining the army means that they originally had the delicacy and thoughtfulness that civil servants should have, and at the same time they also had the courage and courage that military men should have.

In other words, at this time, giving up writing and joining the army is the standard for a man with both civil and military skills.

After all, it would be difficult for those who were shot out on the battlefield to have a happy death if they wanted to put themselves back into the whirlpool in the court.

Even though the Han Dynasty's court is not yet in a situation where civil and military affairs are separated, there are still signs of a struggle for power.

"Hey"

After Liu Long said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then raised his hand towards Ban Xiong in front of him.

"Needless to say about the Geng family, I still have some connections with the Geng family and I know them well.

It seems that I can guess who the son of the Geng family you are talking about is.

These brave men will serve as my subordinates for the time being. Ma Xu and Ma Rong will arrive soon. Ma Xian urges him to hurry up.

In addition, now that our generals have withdrawn, I am afraid that the Qiang and Hu will have problems again.

Please let people pay attention to it. If the Qiang Hu makes any move, report it immediately.
That's it! "

Liu Long originally wanted Yu Xu and Ban Xiong to keep an eye on the movements of the Qiang Hu, but when he thought about it, neither of them had any military positions.

And the location is also very awkward.Although Ren Shang is very respectful to him now, he doesn't have the feeling that Pang Xiong, Liang Jin and others treated him when they were in Northern Xinjiang.

To put it simply, the other party does not want to hand over power!
Liu Long could understand this, or even disagree with it. As long as Ren Shang had the same goal as his own, he could introduce his approach himself.

He does not need to snatch any credit or rights from the hands of his generals.

But it is obvious that Liu Long has not seen the need to keep this guy until now.

Even after Liu Long learned about the current military expenditure in the northwest, he already had murderous intentions!
Therefore, in the middle of the order, he immediately changed his words.

"The soldiers and horses in the northwest are already in chaos. If we act according to the dispatch of the military scouts now, I'm afraid that by the time we get the news, all the Qiang and Hu barbarians have already done.

This is not possible!

How many soldiers and horses can you mobilize now? I am talking about the kind that can directly become my subordinates. "

Liu Long revealed his meaning directly, which also made Ban Xiong couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

The purpose of his recommendation to Liu Long was to allow Liu Long to directly seize the northwest military power that originally belonged to Ren Shang, the general in command, from Ren Shang.

Of course, he is also selfish.

That's because Liu Long wants to rely on these juniors, but these juniors don't have much experience now.

Except for Ma Xian who can be used directly, there is no difference between Ma Xu and Ban Yong in this army and a newcomer.

This Majesty is a highly respected person in Northern Xinjiang, and he is not the kind of person who doesn't know the art of war.

Therefore, in addition to being the commander-in-chief himself, he also needs someone to serve as his deputy general to help him stabilize the morale and morale of the army.

Of course there are many veterans in the Northwest Army, but how can they compare with me?

He is also a veteran. If possible, he, Ban Xiong, can take this opportunity to rise again and directly use his military exploits to lead the Fufeng Ban family to become the largest wealthy family in the northwest.

But when Liu Long said this, Ban Xiong knew that he had guessed wrong.

His Majesty is indeed a good soldier, very talented, and extremely decisive.

He didn't want to seize power from Ren Shang, this one simply wanted to abandon Ren Shang, and even abandon the soldiers and generals in Ren Shang's hands.

He wants to start all over again!

When Ban Xiong understood the other party's idea, he was completely dumbfounded.

Not only is this completely different from what he thought, but the most important thing is that if he does this, his talent will not be enough to become the general of a new army, not even a deputy general.

The danger is too great.

So after thinking carefully for a long time, Ban Xiong still bowed to Liu Long.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any troops, but I know there is someone who can help Your Majesty!"
