The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 889
After learning of Lu Heng's idea of ​​going to Gaoping in person, Tian Feng and Ju Shou did not advise, but put forward an opinion and waited for Marshal Zhuge to send an army to escort him.

As the so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Lu Heng thought about it and agreed to meet in Shuofang County.

Lu Heng first joined the guard camp, namely Shangguanyi, Dangjin, Pan Lin, Yan Baihu, and Yan Yu, plus a wounded Pang De, accompanied by officials Tian Feng, Jushou, Shi Qian, Wu Song and others. The imperial army set off to the north.

This means that Pound is the Pound under Ma Teng's command. He was injured by Xue Deli's medicine hammer and sent to Da Song for help. The military doctor at the border was helpless and could only stabilize the poison to prevent it from attacking. He was sent to Lu Heng in Jinyang, next to the emperor. It's all genius doctors who stayed by Lu Heng's side this time. Kong Hou really got rid of the poison with medicine.

Naturally, Lu Heng also had frequent contact with Pound. Under the charisma of his personality, if it weren't for the lord Ma Teng, he would not directly declare his allegiance.

The emperor's army first visited the Great Wall of Bingzhou, and also received Guo Yun who had been stationed on the Great Wall.

Different from the Ming Great Wall in the capital where Lu Heng traveled in later generations, the Great Wall today is not a pure green brick structure, but is built with rammed earth and then bricks.

Because of the technical problems of this era, as well as the original political problems and wars in Bingzhou, many of the Great Wall's defense lines were destroyed.

Although it can barely be used after three years of repairs, it is still not enough as an important line of defense!
It is urgent to repair the Great Wall. This is the last line of defense of the Chinese nation. Lu Heng kept this matter in mind and continued to head north.

In fact, going out of the Great Wall is equivalent to reaching the grassland. The three counties of Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Shuofang are built on the Hetao Plain.

The environment and scenery here are completely different from Bingzhou, which is full of mountains. The endless plains are almost defenseless except for the cities built by the Han people!
Lu Heng met Zhang Yan who was stationed in Yunzhong County. Like Guo Yun, it was the first time Lu Heng saw Zhang Yan.

Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County, and Shuofang County are all border gates. The population here is relatively less inland, and many Xianbei people can be seen near the grassland.

After Lu Heng's inspection, he still found many hidden dangers!
Now that the Song Dynasty is strong and deterrent to the border, it is judged that Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Shuofang are relatively safe, and they can join Zhuge Liang's army here.

However, although the defenses of Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County, and Shuofang County have the Yellow River, they are definitely not comparable to Youzhou, which has the Great Wall defense line!
To defend Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County, and Shuofang County, a large army must be sent to the border.

Otherwise, if the enemy country is powerful, the three counties of Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Shuofang will be the first to bear the brunt. These three counties are like two weak areas protruding from the defense line.

So the Eastern Han court abandoned these three places first!
It is an extravagant hope to control the border in the face of civil strife and instability. In addition, there are grassland peoples invading every now and then, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has no time to take care of this side.

In this way, Lu Heng waited in Yunzhong County for more than ten days, and finally saw the army sent by Zhuge Liang.

Lu Heng saw that Lao Niu personally led the team behind Gao Chong, Cao Kerang, Lu Wenlong, Yang Zaixing, and Yang Yansi.

These are the ones Lu Heng knows and the ones he doesn't know. The two cavalry that Lu Heng has never seen are definitely not from the Song Dynasty. When Lu Heng saw the big horse and Zhang Erzi, he immediately guessed.

"The old cow pays homage to the official family!", "The last general pays homage to the official family!"

"Ma Chao, under the command of General Zhengxi, pays homage to His Majesty... the official family!"

"General Zhenxi's subordinate Zhang Quan pays a visit to... the official family!"

When Lao Niu and others saw Lu Heng Yunian, they immediately stepped forward to pay respects. Gao Chong, Cao Kerang, Lu Wenlong, etc. would bow down together. Of course, there were two heroic figures. The older one should be Ma Chao and the younger one should be Zhang Quan.

The age of Ma Chao bestowed by Luo Guanzhong has always been misunderstood as very young. Now Ma Chao is 207 years old in 32 A.D., but in the original time and space Ma Chao returned to Cao four years later, that is, in 211, Ma Chao was 36 years old.

Of course, he is much younger than Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others in the same period!

"Haha! My general Shenweitian and his wife's nephew, get back together quickly!" Lu Heng laughed loudly and went forward to help the two of them up, flattering Ma Chao and Zhang Quan.

"Officials, the title given to the general by the Qiang people in the frontier area, how can it be counted?" Ma Chao's repeated refusals were full of joy in his heart. Lu Heng's status was too high, even Lu Heng knew his nickname. It is much stronger than when Kong Rong knew Liu Bei's name.

Moreover, Lu Heng is the son of heaven with a golden mouth, and saying this title from Lu Heng's mouth is equivalent to official certification!
Contrary to Ma Chao's joy, Zhang Quan was confused about what his wife and nephew were?His father Zhang Xiu never told him that he has such a relationship with Emperor Song, how should I respond?Waiting online is very urgent!

Lu Heng was also observing Ma Chao and Zhang Quan at the same time. The fact that they were sent by Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu was a further hint. With Ma Teng's political acumen and Jia Xu's advice, Lu Heng felt that it was reasonable to see them.

However, Lu Heng felt a little surprised by Ma Chao. No matter whether it is in the novel or in history, there is a big difference in Ma Chao's character, but the difference in personality is not that big. He is definitely not such a humble person. Such a 'well-behaved'!
Lu Heng guessed that it was either Ma Teng's special instructions, or his own butterfly effect. The situation in Xiliang has changed a lot in the past few years, which made Ma Chao's changes so huge.

Don't forget that there is Pound beside Lu Heng, and he is also very happy to see the young master, while Ma Chao and Zhang Quan are also very happy to see that Pound has recovered from his injury.

Under such circumstances, everyone is happy and harmonious like a family!

In the subsequent conversation, the emphasis on Ma Chao was to affirm the glory of his ancestors and Ma Teng's achievements, and Zhang Quan finally knew the many reasons why Lu Heng called his wife nephew.

It's very simple. Zhang Xiu learned that Tong Yuan was Zhao Yun's elder brother, and Zhao Yun was Yang Miaozhen's husband-in-law, and Yang Miaozhen was the sworn sister of Empress Lu Lingji.

If Zhang Quan wanted to be called Yang Miaozhen's aunt, Lu Lingji would be his aunt, then Lu Heng's nephew. This big circle made Zhang Quan a little confused, and he was really a relative who was beating around the bush.

But this is a relative that Lu Heng, the emperor, personally recognized by beating around the bush, this is completely different!
It's just that Lu Heng felt that no matter how much Ma Chao changed, he still had a kind of vigor, while Zhang Quan was more of a dull character. He said that he would participate in Wei Xi's conspiracy?Unless he was limped by that kid Wei Xi's mouth, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Lu Heng!

Doesn't Zhang Quan, Yuan Shikong, know his embarrassing position in Cao Wei?
The reason why Lu Heng said that Wei Xi is a kid is because this person has passed the scientific examination two years before he became an official, and because of his eloquence, he was famous for moving the north. A meal is honestly a lot.
