King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 664 Jia Xu Enters Qiang
"Hmph! This kid is so arrogant!" Yuan Shang said viciously, looking at the back of Ma Chao who had left Gao Ao.

"Hey!" Xu You sighed, and said, "My lord, don't be impulsive, the land is at hand, it's important to deal with Zhang Baiqi!"

"Yeah!" Yuan Shang hummed reluctantly.

And Zhang Baiqi, leading the army to retreat, retreated ten li to set up camp after being broken. Although the loss of soldiers and horses was not much, after all, after a defeat, the momentum was exhausted. Thinking about it, after only playing for one day, all the eight hundred wolf riders led by Ma Chao had already destroyed them. Eight hundred wolf cavalry were brought for emergency, and there were still only a few thousand soldiers and horses in Tongguan City, but the Yellow Turban Army was already frightened. The rider can only rest for a whole day, and rebuild the engineering equipment such as the well rail, while cultivating his body.

"Huh! Ma Mengqi! When a certain body is cultivated, a certain yellow scarf warrior will want you to look good!" Zhang Baiqi said viciously in the tent, saying that he has cultivated, but he still has the strength to use the heavenly book once. The spell on him made the yellow turban warrior once again show his might, but for Zhang Baiqi's longevity, what can you do if you cultivate your body, it will still be a loss.

At the same time, just to the northwest of Tongguan, a large number of people are also marching forward. It is the main force of Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang. The bravery of his son Ma Chao, coupled with the combat power of the wolf cavalry battalion, of course he can deal with the remnants of that little yellow scarf bandit. Compared with the Yellow Turban Army of peasants who can only be regarded as holding weapons, then why should I be afraid of my Xiliang soldiers and horses? Let my son Ma Chao send them over. Ma Teng thinks they are overqualified, and why Yuan Shang can't deal with it?In fact, Ma Teng didn't have it at all, Yuan Shang paid attention to it.He thinks that Yuan Shang is a mere child, less than one-tenth of his father, and has never fought a tough battle. If it weren't for the surname Yuan, how could he be negotiated with him? Loyal to the Yuan family, you can't use it for yourself. Now my enemy is Han Sui, so I joined forces with Yuan Shang. If Han Sui is destroyed, Yuan Shang will be wiped out, unified Yongliang, decisively win the northwest, and become the overlord of the world. Wait for the opportunity It has arrived, the troops leave Tongguan, enter Luoyang, enter Tuba Central Plains, and win the world decisively.

Ma Teng did not think about becoming emperor, unlike Li Lin who was unwilling to do the high-risk job of being emperor, Ma Teng still had some self-knowledge, knowing that if he proclaimed himself emperor, he would be punished by Yuan Shu or Cao Cao in the south. In such a situation, these two died tragically, but I don't want to do this.

And why did Ma Teng look down on the Yellow Turban Army and Yuan Shang so much, and led the army here?Is it enough to have my own son Ma Chao?It is precisely because Ma Teng has his eye on Liu He's territory, Sili's Hedong, and thus enters Bingzhou, and another big state will be taken into his hands.

Liu He personally conquered Luoyang and went south to the Yellow River. Zhang Yan led [-] Bingzhou soldiers, and Sima Yi led [-] Sili troops. They almost transferred the troops from these two places. , But it’s just a big piece of fat. With such a big benefit, how could Ma Teng’s head not be overwhelmed? Taking the opportunity of rescuing Yuan Shang, he led the army into Guanzhong, instead of going to Tongguan, he went directly to the northeast, crossed the Yellow River, and killed Enter Puzhou and other places, and then attack the cities in Hedong, and then go north again, and then enter Bingzhou.

As for the territory of Hedong and Yuan Shang in Guanzhong, it is still separated from the territory of Qianghu. During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was still the territory of the Han Dynasty and belonged to Yongzhou, while in the north, Shuofang, Shangjun and other places , merged into the jurisdiction of the state, this is all the credit of Wei Qinghuo Qubing, who broke into Hetao and other places, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, treacherous officials were in power, and the court was extremely corrupt. As a result, the Han Dynasty lost most of the territory of Hetao and other places, and Hetao was a barrier against the northern nomads. After the loss, there was a negative feedback effect. In addition, the imperial court was not as good as each year, and the Hu people became stronger and stronger. , Of course, this is also the reason that contributed to the subsequent chaos.

But at this period, Ma Teng thinks that he still has some prestige in the eyes of the Qianghu people. When he was young, he was only a prefect, but he won successive battles with the Qianghu people and was quite prestigious. The Qianghu people all respected them, so Ma Teng felt that it would not be a problem for him to go to the east of the river from Qianghu's territory, but Ma Teng forgot one thing, the current Qianghu is not the original Qianghu up.

The sphere of influence of Qianghu, Zhidan, is the site of Huiligu, the Eastern Qiang King of Qianghu. It is an attack, so it is estimated that there is not much suffering, but the Qianghu people don't think about defense. In their eyes, if the enemy comes over, they will die if they can't beat them. Escape, this is the characteristic of nomads.

"My lord! Mr. Wenhe is back!" A burly man who would watch shouted to a heroic general.

"Oh? Wenhe!" The heroic general was startled, got up immediately, and said, "Wenhe! Come in!" Looking at the clothes of this strong man and the general, he also looks like a Qianghu, but this face is absolutely Han looks like.

I saw Jia Xu walking in slowly, bowed to the heroic general, and said: "Your servant pays homage to the lord!"

Master?Who else could Jia Xu's master be?This heroic general is none other than the spear king of the North, Zhang Xiu. In history, Zhang Xiu was named the General of the Qiang, but now he can only rely on the Qiang and Hu people. It is said that these are all because of Cao Cao's persecution. Cao Cao went all the way to Guanzhong in order to avenge the murder of his son. Of course, his intention was to plot against Guanzhong. Facts have proved that Cao Cao succeeded in the end, but this can be regarded as crying Zhang Xiu , there is no way out, Cao Cao is invincible in Guanzhong, even Ma Teng and Han Sui are not opponents, of course, it is because Ma Teng and Han Sui did not agree with each other that led to Cao Cao's defeat, but the most unlucky one is Zhang Xiu. Now, Zhang Xiu was driven all the way to the territory of the Qiang Hu people by Cao Jun. If Zhang Xiu hadn't deliberately hid from then on and disappeared, and Cao Cao's Xuchang chaos, Cao Cao would not have given up, and Zhang Xiu had taken refuge in the Eastern Qiang King Under Huiligu's command, Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji also had some relationship with the Eastern Qiang King, so the Eastern Qiang King also took Zhang Xiu's men and horses in. Of course, Jia Xu was also included, and the one with Zhang Xiu The strong man who spoke was Hu Che'er.

"Wenhe!" Zhang Xiu was very kind when he saw Jia Xu. Jia Xu was his absolute brain, but since Da Sima Yi came to Qiang Hu's territory, he persuaded the Eastern Qiang King, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu at the same time. Xu, and Jia Xu has always listened to Sima Yi's side, and he can see Jia Xu's power, let alone Sima Yi, of course he knows that Jia Xu is of great use.

"Wenhe is going well all the way!" Zhang Xiu said with concern.

Jia Xu still thought of Zhang Xiu's kindness to him, and always called Zhang Xiu the lord, and said respectfully: "My lord, don't worry, everything is fine, my servant!"

Zhang Xiu said: "Wenhe came to Zhidan, but... Sima Yi..."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Exactly, my lord, come with me to see Marshal Yueji!"

"Okay!" Zhang Xiu nodded, and went to see Yue Ji together with Jia Xu and Hu Che'er.

Why don't you see the Eastern Qiang king? Of course, the Eastern Qiang king still doesn't trust Sima Yi, let alone Sima Yi's plan, but Yue Ji, as the marshal of the Eastern Qiang, is a die-hard fan of Sima Yi and admires him very much, so Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu Helping Sima Yi here is to find Yueji first, and then see Eastern Qiang King Huiligu again.

"You wait to come, but Sima Yi wants me to send troops?" The palace of the Eastern Qiang King is to China, and Huiligu is high above, looking at Yueji, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu below.

Yueji immediately said: "My lord, the Han people have brought news that Ma Teng from Xiliang has sent troops to Yongzhou, which has entered the Han Dynasty, but he will enter our territory in a few days!"

Just looking at Hui Ligu, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and a mustache under his nose suddenly said, "Oh? Could it be the Han people, did you ask my king to send troops to attack Ma Teng?"

Yueji immediately said: "That's right! Your Majesty, since you have an appointment with the Han, you should hurry up and dispatch your troops!"

"Wait!" The sharp-mouthed monkey raised his hand and said with a traitorous expression on his face, "The Xiliang soldiers of Ma Teng fought against the Xiqiang king Ohe Shaoge many times, and the Xiqiang king was defeated many times. It's really powerful, if our army sends troops, won't many of our Eastern Qiang warriors be killed or injured?"

Yueji immediately refused, and immediately said angrily: "Yadan! What did you say? Could it be that I am not good at fighting, and I can't beat that Ma Teng!"

"Huh!" Yadan snorted, and did not speak. Yes, Yadan is the prime minister of the Eastern Qiang. Like Yueji, they are both the right-hand man of Eastern Qiang King Huiligu. Now Qiang is divided into East and West, and it is because of Yadan and Yueji that Eastern Qiang has grown step by step. But now the strength of the Eastern Qiang has far surpassed that of the Western Qiang, but Yadan and Yueji are not very easy to deal with...
