The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Finally, there is Duan Yan, who entered Chang'an with Li Jue and Guo Si, and served as a warlord in Huayin County, Hongnong County.Later, he assisted Cao Cao to destroy Li Jue and Guo Si, and joined the imperial court, adding officials and ranks along the way.

Dong Zhuo's last family fortune is almost all here... Liu Tao is starting to get a little tangled up.

Chapter 477 I'm Back

Liu Tao felt that he was a little passive. He felt that Li Ru led everything from the official attack on Chang'an.

Even when he saw these generals sincerely surrendering here, for a moment, he even planned not to pursue the meaning of Dong Min and others.

No, if you want to chase now, you may not be able to catch up... After all, you are already on foot, and you have been running for so long.Li Ru estimated that even their physical exertion was included in the calculation.

Immediately, he remembered something, so he looked at Xu Rong and asked, "Xu Rong, I heard that you are ambushing outside, so where are the cavalry under your command?"

"The last general was indeed ordered to ambush outside, but he didn't have many cavalry. He just brought [-] war horses and [-] draft horses to wait here." Xu Rong was taken aback when he heard this, and then immediately explained.

That's it, the horses were prepared here in advance.It's no wonder that I can't see the traces of this team's movement when I use Fenglong's insight. Calculating the time, at least an hour or so away, I have already left the detection range.

After all, the radius of the entire Chang'an City is more than five miles, plus the distance of the secret passage, and the movement of about an hour... Even the speed of the turtle should leave the detection range, unless the scroll is used.

It's just a battle just now, the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and the gap between the two sides is so far, it's not easy to catch up...

"Okay!" Liu Tao waved his hand, "I will spare their lives. As long as they are really willing to change their names and surnames, they will live in seclusion in the mountains and never appear again. I will not pursue anything."

Then he looked at the generals and said, "As for you, since you are willing to surrender, then I will not be polite. Considering your position, I can only start from the military ranks for you at most. Do you have any objections?"

"The last general dare not!" All the generals replied one after another, even Xu Rong, the oldest, acquiesced to this result.

"Of course, you have also seen that the situation in the world has changed drastically, and a lot of opportunities are placed in front of you. How far you can go in the future depends on your ability!" Liu Tao immediately reminded, lest one or two, in the future Let him dawdle until he retires.

"Here!" Everyone responded one after another, and it could be seen that everyone had joy on their faces.

Anyway, the result is not bad, right?Liu Tao sighed secretly, anyway, there is no requirement to kill Dong Min and Li Ru, but for the sake of safety, it is best to solve it naturally.

Now that six talents have been recruited, this battle is not a loss.My own soldiers... It is estimated that few of them were killed in battle, at most they were injured, and they need to be treated a little after returning.

Turning back to the outside of Chang'an City, to be honest, an army was coming towards the city gate, which made Guo Jia and others a little nervous.The Huns were about to clean up the blockages at the main entrance, but someone would come from behind.

After receiving the alarm, he immediately planned to go back to the main gate and mount his horse to fight, but in the end he saw Liu Tao and others coming back.

"My lord, why did you appear here?" Guo Jia really couldn't figure it out, and of course everyone couldn't figure it out.

But after seeing Xu Rong and others behind the team, I had some thoughts in my heart, but I still wanted to hear what Liu Tao had to say.

"It's a long story..." Liu Tao had to explain briefly.

After knowing Li Ru's strategy, several military advisers couldn't help feeling: This Li Ru is really good at calculating, but he is not on the scene, otherwise he will meet him well.

Although literature is not the first, the competitive spirit of literati is no worse than that of warriors.When you meet an excellent scribe, you naturally want to know it.

It's just that things have come to this point, and it's not easy to continue to struggle with anything.They also believed that Liu Tao's decision was correct, and they could not catch up with them now, and it was not good to continue to pursue them. After taking Chang'an, the war was actually over.

"Speaking of which, Li Jue seems to have gone with them, and Guo Si is also with him?" Liu Tao suddenly remembered something.

"Indeed, I heard that the general didn't spare him, so I left alone. Guo Si made friends with him, and probably didn't want to retire. After being persuaded by him, he left with him." Hu Zhen stepped forward to explain.

"Even if they are not willing to be lonely, how can they turn around? Run thousands of miles to Guanzhong to join other princes? Or go north to Liangzhou to clean up Dong Zhuo's remnants, and then find a way to rise up? Or, go to Ma Teng?" Liu Tao smiled.

It is a thousand miles away, and the two of them have a bad reputation, so if they go to join the princes of the Guandong, it is estimated that no one will take them in.If he ran to join Ma Teng, he would have thrown himself into a trap.Later, you can consider sending a letter to Ma Teng and ask him to make arrangements.

Speaking of which, Ma Teng's plan is still unknown, should he wait in Chang'an for a while?Calculating the time, in about five days, the reply letter will almost arrive!

I happened to call all the way, and I was exhausted, and I happened to be in Chang'an to maintain law and order for a period of time.In addition, inform Cao Cao that when he comes to take over Chang'an, Guan Yu will also send people, at least 500 people, to maintain the law and order here.

Otherwise, he really didn't dare to leave casually, lest those young people would jump out to burn, kill and loot right after leaving.

"Thank you for your hard work!" After thinking for a while, Liu Tao came to Huchuquan and Qubei, "This battle is over, thank you for your help, after returning, there will naturally be another reward."

"Where is it, we came here this time, but we didn't help much, and we are ashamed of it..." Hu Chuquan actually knew how to be humble, but then again, they really didn't help much when they went south this time.

At most, when they were attacking the city, they helped them shoot arrows to cover them, and they didn't experience any bloody battles.If you still get a reward in this way, it is basically no different from Bai Jian.

However, Liu Tao still has to do the gesture that should be done.With a reward this time, if we look for them next time, we will naturally cooperate more actively.Over time, from mercenaries, they were recruited step by step.

At the same time, when I took them south this time, I didn't expect them to contribute. On the contrary, after going south this time, they have already seen how powerful they are.After returning, it will naturally be passed on, and the awe of the Southern Huns towards themselves will also be strengthened a bit.

Let's stabilize them for a few years first, and when Liangzhou and Sizhou are stabilized, it's time to formally recruit them!

"The general's idea has always been to reward those who have meritorious deeds, and to punish those who have done so. Since you have made great efforts, you must be rewarded." Liu Tao said with a smile. In fact, the subtext is to treat them as part of his subordinates. .

"In this case, Hu Chuquan thank you general!" Hu Chuquan hurriedly thanked him, but he didn't dare to call himself the Right Wise King, because he really couldn't get tough in front of this person.

Qubei didn't expect to come here and walk around, and he could still get rewards, and he was very happy for a while, and he also had a better impression of Liu Tao.At least, the cunning Han people are more pleasing to the eye than what the parents said.

After five days like this, Zhang He personally brought 500 people over to take over the defense of Chang'an City.At the same time, Zhong Yao also came over, temporarily acting as the prefect of Jingzhao until the new prefect was promoted.

In Jingzhao and Henan itself, there are Jingzhao Yin and Henan Yin, and there is no prefect.However, now that Sili has changed to Sizhou, Jingzhao will naturally become Jingzhao County.In history, there was Jing Zhaoyin, Yang Biao, followed by Sima Fang, but both of them were absent.

As a last resort, Zhong Yao asked Liu Tao if he had any candidates.Liu Tao thought about it, and reported Wang Hong, but Xu Sheng, the county magistrate of Shan County, did not mention it.

I went to Shan County before, and found that the city here is not lively, there are not many merchants, and the people are in a hurry and dodge.It can be seen that Xu Sheng is either incompetent or has a problem.

There are many officials with problems in this world, and they were not taken down at that time, but they were just reminded a little.If he is sensible, then he will naturally do things well in the future. If he still can't comprehend, then someone will naturally punish him.

"Wang Hong's words... but the question is, isn't he already the prefect of Hongnong?" Zhong Yao recognized Wang Hong, but he had to ask a question, and the mediocre words are nothing in themselves, especially since Jing Zhaoyin and Hongnong are not comparable.

"The prefect of Hongnong can just appoint someone else, and in the future, it is not possible to set up several counties in Guanzhong, but to set up a new state alone. What I mean is to let you see if this Wang Hong can be used. If it can be used, it can be used in the future." Keep it as a reserve talent." Liu Tao explained his purpose a little bit.

"So that's the case, but the lord has far-sightedness." Zhong Yao suddenly flattered him.

"In short, Yuan Chang has taken care of the affairs of Guanzhong. Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng have not recovered now, so maybe you need to recover them." Liu Tao reminded.

"It's not a problem. You only need to go to a document, and the prefects of the two places will naturally surrender!" Zhong Yao laughed when he heard the words.

Dong Zhuo's power has been completely defeated, and Dong Min and others have fled far away without knowing where they are going.Could it be that these prefects still can't see the situation clearly?Or, one or two are planning to rebel? !

"In short, you can do as you see, I believe in your and Zhang He's abilities!" Liu Tao laughed.

After a few words of relief, he left. In fact, some soldiers came to report that Ma Teng's messenger had arrived.

After waiting for a few days, the main thing is to see what Ma Teng's attitude is, at least he knows how to deal with it.

"Tell me, what is General Ma's attitude?" Liu Tao saw that the messenger was still the same as before, so he asked directly.

"General Ma is willing to accept the appointment of General Anxi..." The other party said slowly, Liu Tao is not surprised by this, but is still waiting for the follow-up, after all, there may be some turning points at this time.

"During the period, Major General Ma Chao proposed to separate Liangzhou...but the general did not agree, so he formally replied that he would only take the position of General Anxi and the position of governor. Please select a good man as soon as possible to take up the post!" Tell the whole story.

At present, there is no need to say Ma Chao's part, but he feels that what he says can highlight Ma Teng's loyalty.
