I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 296: Hanzhong Prefect, done!

"Deng Cheng, Hanzhong, met Ma Huqiang. He had heard about Ma Huqiang's wisdom for a long time. Until Ma Huqiang was brave and extraordinary, the rumors turned out to be true when he saw him today.

Being able to have horses, Qiang, and troops to protect Hanzhong is really a blessing to me, Hanzhong, and to Deng! "

In the military camp of the Hanzhong army, Deng Cheng, the prefect of Hanzhong, had also met Ma Xian, the captain of the Qiang Guard.

Facing the confused look in Ma Xian's eyes, Deng Cheng was also very polite. He put the business aside for the moment and started to show off to Ma Xian in front of him.

It made Ma Xian feel a little embarrassed.

"Master Deng is so polite!" Although Ma Xian was a little embarrassed, after all, he was from the Fufeng Ma family and was a veteran who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. There was no problem in dealing with this.

The polite reply was a reply to Deng Cheng, but the silence that followed directly made the smile on Deng Cheng's face become a little embarrassed.

Looking at Ma Xian, who obviously didn't intend to answer his question, Deng Cheng also knew what Ma Xian meant, and finally smiled at Ma Xian.

"Ma Huqiang, there are no other outsiders here today, so I won't be polite about something."

As the Lord of Hanzhong Prefecture, Deng Cheng did not show the majesty of the Hanzhong Prefect at this time, but when his face became serious, Ma Xian's deep affection could not help but change a bit.

"Master Deng, please just say it straight."

".I came here today because I want to ask Ma Huqiang about the reinforcements from the imperial court."

"We are already attacking Longdao, and the tension is going very well. Soon we will be able to reach Hanzhong and completely encircle and exterminate the Qiang and Hu.

Thus, there will be no more Qiang and Hu rebellions in Hanzhong.

Don’t worry, Mr. Fu! "

That is to say, the same rhetoric as before, and these rhetorics also support the entire statement that the Hanzhong army has persisted until now.

However, your rhetoric about naturalization obviously does not satisfy Deng Cheng.

After once again confirming that there was no one else in the camp, Deng Cheng walked quickly to Ma Xian. Under Ma Xian's gaze, he still chose to ask softly.

"Ma Huqiang doesn't need to look at me like this, and he doesn't need to use this kind of rhetoric to shirk me.

Although I have never been to this camp since Ma Huqiang came, or since Cheng Xin took over the war, and I definitely have not shared weal and woe with the soldiers.

But I don’t live in luxury in my mansion. Do you know this, Ma Huqiang? "

"I know!" Ma Xian did not deny it, nor did he mean to look down on the Hanzhong prefect in front of him, "As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go ahead with food and grass before they move. Mr. Deng Mansion did a lot of things for us in the rear for the war.

Cheng Gong understood these things, and so did the general.

Don’t worry, Mr. Deng, we have already recorded all these achievements.”

"Do you think I'm here to ask for some reward from you?" Originally, he just looked at Deng Cheng who was a little anxious, but now he couldn't help but become furious when he saw Ma Xian in front of him.

It was as if Ma Xian's words just now angered him.

Before Ma Xian could even say anything else, Deng Chengcheng couldn't help but cursed.

"You confused person, don't forget what my name is!
My name is Deng Cheng. I am the Deng of the Deng family in Nanyang, a direct relative of the Queen Mother!
I need you to remember these many contributions for me? "

"If it's not the case, then I don't know what Mr. Deng means by coming here?"

"You really don't know?" "The general really doesn't know!"

Looking at Ma Xian with an indifferent expression, Deng Cheng, the prefect of Hanzhong, couldn't help but sigh, and then nodded with a hint of helplessness.

"You're right. You really don't know."

"In that case..."

"So, please ask Ma Huqiang to tell me when the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive!"

"." Ma Xian couldn't help but stare at the guy in front of him again.

Ma Xian knew very well that Deng Cheng clearly knew what he meant, and he also understood that he did not want to say anything more on this matter.

But he still questioned so aggressively!
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one else here, and Deng Cheng still looked like he was worried about others knowing.

I'm afraid that Ma Xian was planning to have this guy detained and tortured to see if he was a spy photographed by the enemy.
But although I doubt it now, I don’t doubt it anymore, but this answer
"soon!"

Ma Xian still looked like he had answered but didn't answer anything at all, which made Deng Cheng really speechless.

Looking at the guy in front of me, I could only take a deep breath and try to calm down.

Then he spoke slowly again.

"Ma Huqiang, you understand that this is not what I want to hear."

"What Mr. Deng wants to hear has nothing to do with the general. You are the prefect of Hanzhong, and the general is the captain protecting the Qiang.

Of course, it is true that the captain who protects the Qiang of the last general cannot act arrogantly in Hanzhong, but what the general is doing now seems to have nothing to do with the four words of arrogance and good fortune.

Therefore, the general hopes that Mr. Fu will not continue to say anything more, okay? "

Ma Xian had already spoken to this point, or he had clearly hinted at all of this, which made Deng Cheng seem to understand something.

At this time, Deng Guo actually closed his mouth, and then looked at Ma Xian in front of him, his expression became quite different.

"I see. If that's the case, then I understand!"

Deng Cheng is a smart man. He may not understand war, but he can understand people's hearts. When Ma Xian talked about this, he already understood a lot.

Looking at Ma Xian who was also injured, he didn't say anything more.

His duty was to guard Hanzhong, so that the countless people in Hanzhong could avoid disasters as much as possible, and to block Hanzhong as a last resort to prevent the Qiang and Hu from entering Yizhou.

Therefore, Deng Cheng did not want to embarrass anyone.

He is very clear about the current situation in Hanzhong and how long Hanzhong can last. Therefore, after Cheng Xin's death, Deng Chengcheng must understand one thing.

That is whether the imperial court's reinforcements can really arrive. ,
In other words, how long will it take to arrive? If the imperial troops cannot arrive quickly, he will have to prepare for Yangping Pass and other places.

People must be relocated first, and evacuation must be arranged in advance.
And today, Ma Xian gave him an answer.

Although this answer did not satisfy him, he knew what he should do.
