Three Kingdoms: I choose the anti-thief camp at the beginning

Chapter 30

And among them, Jia Xu and Guo Si contributed the most.

If it weren't for these two people to sow discord and open the city gate at a critical moment.

The army wants to enter the city,

It is no different from reaching the blue sky.

"Your Majesty, you are serious. As the subjects of a big man, we should share your worries for His Majesty! Please don't worry about it, Your Majesty." After speaking, the generals said one after another.

Hearing what they said, Liu Mu just smiled and nodded.

Immediately he opened his mouth and said: "Rewards and punishments have been done since ancient times. Therefore, if you make great achievements, you will naturally be rewarded heavily. Jia Xu stepped forward to accept the award!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The voice fell,

Then Jia Xu immediately moved forward, knelt down on the ground, and there was still a bit of expectation on his face. After all, the reason why he planned for so long was to wait for this moment.

Now it's finally here.

"Jia Xu helped me put down the rebellion. Therefore, I am specially awarded the position of imperial censor and a thousand stones."

"Wei Chen thanks Your Majesty!"

Wait until, after the reward is over,
Jia Xu's face showed a look of excitement. After all, although he had thought that he would get an official position when he was planning earlier, he never thought that the official position would be so high that he would directly become Doctor Yu Shi.

And he before,
It's just a white body.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "reaching the sky in one step" to become Doctor Yushi directly now!Therefore, Jia Xu immediately vowed secretly in his heart that no matter what, he must assist this majesty to achieve a generation of grand plans and hegemony.

As the saying goes,
Scholar die for the confidant!

Today's Liu Mu is obviously Jia Xu's confidant.

When I played under Dong Zhuo's flag,
Although he said a lot of ideas, none of them were reused. On the contrary, he was only a small official. Now, this majesty has directly rewarded the official position, and even canonized him as Doctor Yushi. Such a reward is really amazing. Abnormally rich!

"Guo Si, come forward and listen to the seal."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the reward was given to Jia Xu, Liu Mu continued to speak.

When Guo Si heard this, he immediately took a step forward, then knelt on the ground, waiting for the canonization.

"Cough cough, Guo Si, you were originally a traitor, but I think you have found your way back when you lost your way, and you have made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion. Therefore, I will reward you as General Anxi and offer you five hundred stones. Would you like it?"

"The guilty minister thanked His Majesty."

After hearing the canonization,
Guo Si on the ground quickly expressed his thanks.

And his face was still a little moved. Although his official position is not very high, but for him at this moment, the level of official position is not important. The real good news is that His Majesty actually forgave his sins. In this way, he doesn't have to bear the name of a traitor anymore.

This is the best news for Guo Bang.

After rewarding Guo Si and Jia Xu,
Liu Mu rewarded Li Yuanba and Lu Bu two generals again. As for Zhang Ji, he was only exempted from guilt. After all, he did not contribute to the attack on Hangu Pass. However, he was only exonerated, but it also surprised him endlessly.

And after all the rewards have been awarded,

Liu Mu on the main seat had a slightly melancholy expression on his face.

Seeing this, Jia Xu on the left said, "Your Majesty, do you have any troubles?"

"Hey, although Hangu Pass has been taken now, the situation inside Xiliang is complicated, and it may be extremely difficult to regain it, so I am a little worried!"

said,

Liu Mu still sighed.

That's right, compared to Hangu Pass, the most important thing is Xiliang.

After all, Xiliang is located on the border and is close to the imperial capital Luoyang.

If it is not recovered, there will be a lot of trouble in the future!Moreover, Xiliang has rebelled year after year. If the foreign rebels rise again, then they will directly approach the imperial capital.

heard,

In Jia Xu's eyes, there was a bit of brilliance, and after a little thought, he said: "Your Majesty, it is actually not difficult for you to take back Xiliang."

"Oh? Does Wenhe have a solution? Why don't you tell me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that His Majesty attaches so much importance to it, Jia Xu naturally dare not neglect it.

Immediately opened the mouth to introduce.

"Your Majesty, if you want to unify Xiliang, the first and most important thing is to understand the situation in Xiliang. As far as I know, Xiliang is divided into eight counties, which are controlled by the traitor Dong Zhuo. Above all, he is the governor of Xiliang, but in fact, Dong Zhuo's territory is only the land of the five counties."

"Furthermore, when he entered Beijing this time, Dong Zhuo's traitor had already emptied all his property! Nearly 30 troops were brought to Luoyang. Therefore, the five counties under his control have long since become empty cities. There is an army left behind, but there are only more than ten thousand people, as long as His Majesty's army comes to the city, the five counties of Xiliang will be restored in one fell swoop."

"..."

When talking about this, Jia Xu paused deliberately.

"Go on!"

Seeing him stop, Liu Mu on the main seat frowned slightly, motioning for him to continue talking.Obviously, according to what he said, it would not be difficult to recover the five counties.

But the real problem should be the remaining three counties.

"Your Majesty, the remaining three counties are controlled by two armies. Among them, the most powerful is Xiliang Ma Teng. This man holds a hundred thousand Xiliang troops, and he has a son named His name is Ma Chao, this son is extraordinary in strength and bravery, and because of him, Ma Teng was able to resist Dong Zhuo's attacks many times."

"So that's the case, what else?"

After hearing the name Ma Teng,
Liu Mu on the main seat just nodded.

After all, he was quite familiar with this person.

Although he did not have many battles during the entire Three Kingdoms period, Ma Teng was in charge of Xiliang, and his son Ma Chao was quite famous, so it is very difficult to know!

"As for the rest of the county, it is in the hands of a man named Han Sui. Although this man's strength is not obvious, he is ruthless and has a violent personality, so the army under his command is also quite powerful, so , he also occupies a county in Xiliang, and because he fights desperately, he often fights to the death, so even Dong Zhuo dare not provoke him."

"Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to put down Xiliang's rebellion, then the biggest enemy is not Dong Zhuo's remaining forces, but the army of these two men."

After half an hour,
Then Jia Xu is already there, and he has finished introducing the situation of Xiliang.

And after listening to the news about Xiliang's internal affairs, Liu Mu in the chief seat also nodded, and then just said: "According to Wenhe's opinion, how should I use troops to suppress Xiliang's rebellion?" Woolen cloth?"

"Your Majesty, I would like to express my opinion."

"Our army should send troops first, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Xihai, Xiping, these five counties, as long as they occupy these five counties, then they can confront Ma Teng and Han Sui. At that time, even if the war starts, our army can still have a supply zone."

That Jia Xu immediately opened his mouth and said.

And after hearing his words,
Liu Mu, who was on the main seat, also nodded involuntarily.

That's right,

Judging from the current situation, it is indeed a good choice to capture the five counties of Xiliang first.

After all, Ma Teng and Han Sui are not weak.

Moreover, being able to unite against Dong Zhuo in these years is enough to show that the relationship between the two is quite good. Therefore, once a battle breaks out, it may not be able to recover in a short time.

Therefore, first capture the five counties.

Then it is the best choice to send troops to the three counties.

"Okay, if that's the case, then act according to Wen He's plan, and the generals will obey orders."

"Yes, Your Majesty please order."

Then Liu Mu's voice fell,

All the generals, who had been prepared for a long time, knelt down on the ground one after another.

Upon seeing this, he issued a military order directly.

"The order of our army is to order Lu Bu to lead [-] Bingzhou wolves to attack Jiuquan County. They must break through the city within half a day without any mistakes."

"The order of our army ordered Li Yuanba to lead [-] Xiyuan sergeants to attack Zhangye County. There must be no mistakes."

"Pass down my military order, ordering Guo Si to lead the troops of the headquarters to attack Xihai County, there must be no mistakes."

"Pass down my military order, ordering Zhang Ji to lead the troops of the headquarters to attack Dunhuang County. There must be no mistakes."

After all tasks are released,
In the city lord's mansion, all the generals who were kneeling said in unison: "The last general and others, please obey His Majesty's general order. If you can't complete the task, I would like to come and see you!"

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. In addition, all the remaining soldiers and horses will follow me to Xiping County. In this battle, we must conquer the five counties of Xiliang."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In the city lord's mansion, everyone is under orders.

Then,

After the court meeting, Liu Mu just waved his hand, signaling to all the generals to go down to order troops and prepare to go out.After all, if you want to take Xiliang, you have to fight fast.

Only in the fastest time,
Completely control the five counties of Xiliang, and then we can slowly deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui, otherwise, if these two princes react, then the consequences will be unpredictable!
therefore,

Naturally, the generals did not dare to delay, they went to the school field to count their troops, and then set off immediately.

After the counting is over,
The mighty army immediately marched towards their respective target counties.

And after days of marching.

The army led by Liu Mu finally rushed to the territory of Xiping County.

As Jia Xu expected,

In Xiping County, there were not many remaining troops at all. Therefore, after Liu Mu's army arrived, all the counties and counties that Xiping County belonged to surrendered.

after all,

In the past, if they had 30 troops from Xiliang, they still had the courage to fight against the imperial court, but now, Dong Zhuo is dead, and the army under his command has either been incorporated or directly wiped out.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to resist?
After seeing the surrender of the counties and counties,
Naturally, Liu Mu did not order the massacre to continue.

Instead, they directly incorporated the defenders of various counties and counties, and even disrupted the organization, and distributed them among the tens of thousands of Xiyuan troops brought by him. In this way, they can be completely controlled.

And as Xiping County was unified,

The remaining counties also received good news frequently.

Soon, the five counties were all back under the control of the imperial court.

After taking all the five counties,

Naturally, Liu Mu was not idle, and immediately ordered the counties to leave [-] troops to garrison, and then commanded troops to approach the three counties of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

……

at the same time,

Ma Teng and Han Sui finally learned about the arrival of the imperial army.

Moreover, the imperial army captured the five counties in a short period of time, and now they are even entering their territory.

After hearing the news,

But Han Sui and Ma Teng were also extremely anxious.

after all,

If it is said that the territory under his command is really recovered by the court.

At that time, they will have no chance and continue to act like a tyrant.

Even if Liu Mu didn't kill them in order to win people's hearts, he could only become a minister in the future, and this was already a habit for Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were kings in Xiliang, this was not good news.

therefore,

Then Han Sui and Ma Teng met secretly in Wuwei County immediately.

……

at this time,

Wuwei County, inside the prefect's mansion.

Na Ma Teng and Han Sui sat next to each other.

As for the generals and counselors under their command, they were also sitting behind their lord, and everyone was silent, and the atmosphere felt a little awkward.

At this moment, Na Ma Teng was the first to ask:
"Everyone, tell me, what should I do now?"

"Are you going to turn against the court directly, or are you desperately resisting?"

"However, I would like to remind you all first. If we submit to His Majesty, I am afraid that all the current power will be taken back. At that time..."

After the voice fell, everyone naturally couldn't understand it.

If you say, submit to the court,

It also means that all the current territory and power will be taken away.

Although, it can come to a good end.

But this is obviously unwilling to them who have already held authority.

After all, after trying the taste of power, no one is willing to give up.What's more, who is willing to obey the command of others when it is obvious that it can be self-governing?

not to mention,
Now in their hands, the three counties add up, but they still have 15 elite soldiers, so it might be impossible to resist.

So when even someone said:

"My lord, in my opinion, there is no need to surrender at all. The worst is to fight to the death. What is there to be afraid of? Over the years, our Xiliang army has fought half their lives, and we have fought no fewer than a hundred battles. Why do we just do this? surrender?"

"It makes sense, my lord, this Wuwei County, but our brothers, worked so hard to snatch it from the alien race, why should we surrender?"

"My lord, the army in our hands has a total of more than 15 people. Although it is not as large as that of Dong Zhuo's army, it is definitely not much. The army under your majesty's command is only 10,000+. And we have to divide our troops to garrison the five counties, so we may not have a chance to win."

"That's reasonable, my lord. If I wait to surrender, it's hard to guarantee that I won't be killed one day. At that time, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to resist. Therefore, it's better to turn back than to sit and wait for death. It is desperate, and it is absolutely impossible to surrender so easily."
