[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

The handsome young general in lion helmet and silver armor looked up at the towering city wall in front of him, his face was rarely blank.

Their Guzang City is very big, tall and majestic, and it looks very shocking from a distance. However, Guzang City is located in Liangzhou, and all cities in Liangzhou are rough and simple. No matter how big Guzang City is, it just looks Unconstrained and bold, not to mention the Qiang and Di tribes near Liangzhou, they don't even have a city, and they can just roll up their tents and move when something happens.

He has lived for nearly 20 years, and this is the first time he has seen such a luxurious and prosperous city.

There were soldiers patrolling the city walls of Ye City from morning to night. The soldiers standing guard at the gates of the city raised their vigilance when they saw this group of soldiers dressed in military uniforms.

Waited, waited, waited, waited until the sun was about to go down, and there was no one. The young and strong young men stopped outside the city like a fool, and the vegetable farmers with their backs on their backs and pushing carts went out several times. , They still stopped outside and did not move.

What on earth is this for?

Seeing that it was almost time for the key to be released at the city gate, just as the soldiers on guard were about to step forward to inquire, the leading young general in silver armor finally moved.

Ma Chao straightened the silver helmet on his head to cheer himself up, got off his horse and walked to the city gate to identify himself, handed over his identity certificate, and was released into the city after being checked by the soldiers on guard.

Shortly after closing the city gate, there was a curfew. Yecheng occupied a huge area. After seeing Ma Chao’s certificate, the soldiers knew that they were going to visit Situ’s mansion. They were afraid that they would conflict with the patrolling guards later, so they sent another person to guide them after reporting. .

The sky was getting dark, and the summer evening wind brought some coolness. Ma Chao slowed down and walked on the flat street, looking at the surrounding situation without any trace. After the initial shock, he saw the shops on the street again. Such a big reaction.

Yecheng is the capital city of Jizhou, and it is also the place where Situ and the emperor lived. Speaking of it, it is almost the same as the capital city. It is normal to have a lot of people, but it is not normal if there are fewer people. Mr. Wen He said that Luoyang City can live in hundreds of people. Ten thousand people are more than the people of Liangzhou combined. How can their remote and desolate places like Xiliang compare with the rich cities in the Central Plains.

From the city gate, through the south city, through the Zhanghe River, and then to the north city, the distance is not close. When they arrived in the inner city, it was already dark. Fortunately, the news had been sent to the government office. Jushou came out to greet Ma Chao himself when he knew that Ma Chao was coming. It's a little late to visit their lord, so why not go to the post house to rest for the night, recover your energy and visit them tomorrow morning.

Ma Chao had just arrived, so of course they would do what the host arranged for them, and he didn't come here to find fault, and he didn't have any urgent military situation to report.

Jushou had heard of the name Jinmachao before. When Lu Bu first came back from Liangzhou, he often mentioned this young general who could kill the Qiang and Di people at a young age. He has a lion helmet, silver armor and jade face. This looks really pretty.

Ma Chao politely thanked Professor Ju, and only after sending him away did he feel relieved to look around. The more he looked, the more he felt that the Central Plains was better than Xiliang. No wonder his father insisted on him coming out to learn more. If he didn't go out, he wouldn't know how to go home. The contrast was so tragic. If he hadn't been determined, he might not have gone back.

There was no dream all night, and the east was white in the morning. The young soldiers in the post opened their eyes when the sun just came out, quickly washed and gathered together, and then waited for the summons from the Situ Mansion.

It's just that the person who knocked on the door was not someone from Situ's Mansion, but Xun Yu, who had clear eyebrows and smooth eyes.

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to invite the man in. He was not familiar with the courtyard of the room, and he couldn't find hot tea for a while, so he could only deal with it with cold water, "Don't laugh at me."

"It's okay, Meng Chu is just here, I came at the wrong time." Xun Yu replied with a smile, and ordered someone to bring the food so that these dozens of young men would not wait until noon, "It's still early, let's eat first." Bar."

Ma Chao:? ? ?

Was he trying to appear a little flattered?

Don't bully him who came from a remote place and doesn't understand the rules. He is a kid who doesn't understand anything and knows that there is no pie in the sky. Xun Biejia came to deliver food to them, isn't this treatment too good?

Could it be that General Lu Fengxian specially greeted these people and asked them to take care of them?Or is there some kind of conspiracy hidden in it?

Ma Chao's eyes were a little wary, and he looked up and down at the smiling Xun Yu. He was [-]% sure that this person would not be able to beat him. Okay, there should be no conspiracy. When such a good-tempered person came over, he Ma Mengqi might have shocked Xiliang, so no matter what, he had to send a general like Lu Fengxian over.

It's not a conspiracy, it's probably because someone greeted him in advance. After all, he is the most reliable and capable person in Xiliang. Even if he only brings dozens of people with him, the courtesy he deserves cannot be missed.

Xun Yu sensed something was wrong in the young man's eyes, he didn't explain why he came here so early in the morning, he just had breakfast with the young general, and then asked how the situation in Xiliang was.

After all, he can't say that it's too early, it's not time for their lord to wake up, and now he's waiting in the past, it's better to wait in the posthouse.

Is their master shameless?

Xun Yu had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show it at all. He still talked to the young general in front of him in a calm manner. He knew what was going on in Liangzhou, and he would send documents and reports every month. do not worry.

Ma Chao was able to lead troops to fight in his teens, so he wouldn't be nervous if he was nervous. He grinned when he realized what Xun Yu meant, and subconsciously told him that this Xun Biejia knew a lot. Now that they had the opportunity to talk face to face, they walked along the pole. Climb up and start asking for news, "Bie Xun, I heard that General Fengxian led troops to Nanyang, Jingzhou. Do you think Master Situ will send other people to help?"

He came out this time to gain knowledge, and he didn't plan to go back so soon. He didn't bring his soldiers and horses out, so he couldn't find supplies for a while. Let others raise soldiers for themselves.

If he had fought for Yuan Situ and made meritorious service, it would be fine, but he has never been out of Liangzhou's territory since he grew up. Excuse me.

What's more, I heard that Jizhou has a lot of soldiers and horses. After he arrived in Yecheng, he performed better, and he might be able to bring tens of thousands of soldiers and horses back to Xiliang.

Xun Yu looked at the thoughtful Ma Mengqi with a half-smile, and thought that the young man was indeed clever, but unfortunately he was still too tender, "Nanyang doesn't need help at the moment, but other places may need support, and the lord will personally arrange it later. .”

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, "Don't drive Xun, I, Ma Mengqi, am loyal to the original Situ. For the sake of the fact that I fought with General Fengxian, please tell me in advance."

Xun Yu smiled and shook his head, "It's almost time, let's go see the lord."

In Situ Mansion, Yuan Huan sat in the study and waited for Jin Machao to come. He had met Lu Bu now, he had met Xiaobawang, and he was about to meet Xiao Lu Bu. It was a feast for him, an insignificant person, to meet each other.

Soldiers are precious and fast, so you need to greet Cao Cao quickly. Cao Mengde doesn't have to lead the troops himself. The Xiahou brothers and Cao Hong and Cao Ren are enough to lead the troops. Send troops from Guanzhong and Liangzhou together. Although there are many troops in Hanzhong, it is not too troublesome. Don't bother Captain Cao to go out in person.

The original boss wrote the letter, and when Xun Yu and Ma Chao came in, they just finished writing the last stroke, "Come on, sit down first."

Xun Yu went to the side and sat down. Ma Chao looked around and followed Xun Yu step by step. He sat upright and upright. No matter how you looked at it, he was a rare handsome young man.

Yuan Huan put down his pen and put the paper aside to dry, then looked kindly at the new little luotou, "Did your father tell you what to do in Jizhou?"

Ma Chao blinked, and shook his head innocently, "No, I just said but according to Master Situ's orders."

The gentle and jade-like young man laughed, "Jia Wenhe didn't say anything?"

Ma Chao continued to shake his head, "No, Mr. Wen He also said but according to the Lord's orders."

The front is called "Master Situ" and the back is called "Master". It is strange that this kid is not careful. He is indeed a student taught by Jia Xu, and he is quite cunning.

A smile flashed across Yuan Huan's eyes, and he and Xun Yu exchanged glances, without any intention of continuing to ask, he stated his arrangement in a few words, and then said in a gentle voice, "Meng Qi came to Yecheng for the first time, you can stay in the city Let’s go back to Liangzhou to transfer troops after playing around here, Captain Cao will arrange the next thing, and I will trouble you to hand over Wenhe’s letter of appointment to him.”

Liangzhou's government affairs have already been taken care of, and Jia Wenhe's stay in Guzang City is an unstable factor, so let's hurry up and come to Yecheng.

It is said that a person is as his name is, but that is not always the case. Jia Wenhe is not gentle at all, and Xun Wenruo is not weak at all. On the contrary, Jia Xu is so cruel that it makes one's scalp tingle, and Xun Yu is fine with beating ten by himself Down.

Alas, when Jing'er grows up and chooses characters, he must think carefully about finding a good character that can not only show the intelligence of the little guy, but also reflect the profound knowledge of his father.

After Ma Chao listened to the arrangement honestly, he was happy that there was a battle to be fought, but at the same time felt a little pity.

He originally wanted to bring some soldiers back to Xiliang from Jizhou. Liangzhou is remote and sparsely populated. Food is precious and life is even more precious. Every soldier is supported by hard work, and even with food, they cannot recruit soldiers. .

There is no way, it is too desolate, ordinary people move to the Central Plains to live if they have a way out, and those who have no way out stay in Liangzhou to fight with the sky and the earth, and fight with people, and there are not many people left after fighting.

It was a pity for the little general, but fortunately he did not return empty-handed. He returned to Xiliang this time to lead troops, and went south from Liangzhou to attack Hanzhong. Maybe after his meritorious service, Master Situ would assign him another army.

Don't panic, his skills are here, and sooner or later he will become a general like Lu Bu in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops.

I didn’t have time to look around when I came to Yecheng yesterday. I was only concerned about being shocked. The houses in the city are so neat and exquisite. I have to try my best not to show myself too clearly. After all, I’m a big shot from Xiliang, so I can’t show it. He's too ignorant, otherwise he would be ashamed here and spread his reputation back to Xiliang, and his father could chase him all over Guzang City with a knife in his hand.

In Chang'an City, Cao Cao frowned when he received the letter from Ye City, he hesitated for a while before opening it when he saw the words "Meng De Qin Qi" written on it.

His hunch was really accurate, it must be a good thing for his brother to take the initiative to write him a letter, especially this kind of letter that says "Meng De's kinship", if it is not too demanding, brother will not write to him to appease him, for sure A cold order came over.

It was agreed to let him come to Guanzhong to fight the war, and he was not allowed to come when the civil chaos was quelled. After the turmoil was quelled, he came, and there was not much opportunity to use force when he came.

Now it is hard to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. In the end, let Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan lead the troops, and say that Hanzhong does not bother him to go out in person. Is my brother treating him as Lu Bu to coax him?

Lu Fengxian has strong limbs and a simple mind. Cao Mengde is not that stupid. His brother clearly wanted him to stay in the rear to provide food and grass to stabilize the situation, and he refused to let him personally lead troops to charge forward.

You can't hide it from him!

Captain Cao looked at the letter paper with tears in his eyes, and it took him a while to recover. He slapped the desk and ordered in a rough voice, "Come here, pass on Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren!"

Gritting teeth, tearing eyes, making nasty voices, heartbroken...

There are no words to describe his mood at this time. If he can't take his anger out on his elder brother who is far away in Yecheng, he can only wrong Zhang Lu Zhang, the prefect of Hanzhong. If Hanzhong took the initiative to surrender, how could he be reduced to watching It is a sad end for others to lead troops to fight but not be able to move.

Zhang Lu!it was all your fault!

Both Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan were handling official business in the Council Hall not far away. They hurried over after hearing the summons. Before they entered the door, they had no time to cup their fists and salute. shout out.

what's the situation?

what happened?

The two looked at each other, saw the confusion in each other's eyes, and then became more at a loss. They bowed in a low voice, greeted each other and sat down, waiting for others to come to reveal the answer.

Cao Ren hasn't caused any trouble recently, nor has that thorny head called Zhang Ji. This year's drought is slightly better than last year's. The water in the diversion canal is enough to irrigate [-]% of the reclaimed farmland. [-]% is already an accident for them. I am happy, and will not be angry because of these.

So, what's going on?

Cao Hong cautiously glanced aside, and quickly looked away when he met his cousin's cannibalistic gaze, his heart was beating wildly, and he was sweating from fright.

Hiss, it's terrible.

Not long after, Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun arrived one after another and felt the unusually depressing atmosphere in the room. Even Cao Ren, who had always been out of touch, didn't dare to mess around. .

God, has my cousin recently rejected someone's daughter-in-law?How can you be so angry?

Fortunately, Cao Cao didn't know what the people were thinking. Otherwise, someone in this room would have to pay the price. Captain Cao's current anger was focused on Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Squeeze out a few words, "Did you see it? What is this place?"

There was silence in the room, you could hear a needle drop quietly.

Cao Ren took a nervous step back, "Han, Hanzhong?"

I heard that the old lady of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is "good for keeping in good health" and "has little capacity".
