The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 347 Discuss meritorious deeds, tiger and leopard cavalry

Liu Bian was discussing how to deal with the family's conspiracy, and the sky in Liangzhou had turned dark at this time. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao rushed to the bank of the Yellow River with the remaining soldiers and horses to join Pang De and Xia Houlan's family. soldiers and horses.

In the early morning, 5000 people went out to fight, but now only more than 3000 people set foot on the way home. Ma Chao cavalry suffered more than 1000 casualties, and Baima Yicong suffered hundreds of casualties.Although the casualties of the Mongolian cavalry were twice that of the Han army, most of the Han people were affectionate and loyal. How could they not be sad when their brothers who fought side by side suddenly left them?

As the horses stepped on the ground, the rhythmic sound seemed to be singing mourning for the fallen soldiers, and there was a faint sadness on the way home.

Three thousand cavalry marched southward with torches, all of them looked sad and silent.And most of the cavalrymen lead a war horse by their side, on which are tied the victorious supplies, bows and arrows, battle armor, weapons and other spoils of war.There are also many war horses tied up with the bodies of brothers who died in battle.

When the soldiers and horses reached the bank of the Yellow River, Pang Dexiahoulan had been waiting for a long time, and had already sent someone to investigate.Pound and others already knew about the victory over the Mongolian cavalry and the murder of Ma Teng.However, when Ma Teng was killed, Pound's face was not very good.No one was too surprised by this victory.

Zhao Yun and others joined Pang De, and several people sat astride their horses and gathered together to discuss. Zhao Yun said: "Meng Qi, Ling Ming, now that Prefect Ma Teng has been killed, we have to go and join General Cao first, and we are now discussing!"

"Today I have found out that General Cao has sent troops to Liangzhou to attack Hanyang, Longxi and other places along the Weihe River! Today, there are rebels from Xiliang in Hanyang County who are going to Guzang to ask for Niufu, but I intercept them! We can hurry Go join General Cao!" Pang De said hastily.

Xia Houlan also looked at Zhao Yun, nodded and said, "Your lords also told me before you came to rescue the Ma's army and go to join General Cao, and try your best to collect the Wudu area of ​​Longxi!"

Zhao Yun's expression froze. Now he is not only a fierce general who charges into battle, he has begun to become a qualified commander.He also understood a lot about strategy. Cao Cao's attack on the Wudu area seemed to him to have ulterior motives.

Long is Longshan, also known as Liupanshan. In the Tang Dynasty, the Long Group was related, which was always a serious problem for the court.People in the world often refer to Guanlong together, and Long is the Longxi area of ​​Liangzhou. It can be called together with Guanzhong, and the Longshan area is also very rich.

Although Liangzhou is barren, Longxi, Wudu, Hanyang, and Hanyang are Tianshui, which was renamed Tianshui County in Wei Dynasty. These three counties can be said to be the essence of Liangzhou.If Cao Cao takes these three counties, it will be worth all the other counties in Liangzhou added together.Using the resources of these three counties to check and balance the alien races from afar will reduce the pressure a lot, but Zhao Yun thinks that Cao Cao's intentions are not limited to that.

Zhao Yun believes that Cao Cao's acquisition of Long land has a longer-term significance, and it is for Yizhou!
The Yizhou Basin is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, but the road is difficult, surrounded by mountains, which also stretches for thousands of miles.Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty once left a sigh that the road to Shu was difficult, and it was difficult to ascend to the blue sky.There are these mountains in Yizhou, which form countless majestic passes and become a country of abundance.

But it happened that Longxi was on the outskirts of these mountains, and Zhuge Liang attacked Longxi and Tianshui when he came out of Qishan every six times.You can send troops to Longxi from Yizhou, and of course you can look at Yizhou from Longxi.

As the saying goes, looking at Shu in Long, although it is a metaphor for lack of greed, Long is a real battleground for military strategists.Zhuge Liang wanted to get this place to look at Chang'an when he attacked Wei, but Sima Yi also relied on this place to make Zhuge Liang finally hate it.

Although Zhao Yun is not considered a top commander, he can see the importance of this place.Obtaining Longdi can not only check and balance the foreign races in Xiliang, but also check and balance Yizhou.This is to prepare for the future attack on Yizhou!
Zhao Yun frowned and said: "Hanyang, Longxi and other places are rich and rich, and they are the essence of Liangzhou. I think the Mongols are not stupid, and they will definitely send troops to stop them at that time! Let's quickly gather with General Cao and try to win more land. As a buffer against alien races!"

As soon as Zhao Yun pulled his horse's head, he went straight to the southeast. A group of soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River overnight, looking for Cao Cao.At this time, in the south of the Yellow River in Liangzhou, only Niu Fu's [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in various cities, which were extremely scattered.Zhao Yun and other troops marched southward, and three days later, they found Cao Cao's army in Longxi County.

Because Niu Fu's [-] troops were scattered throughout Liangzhou, Cao Cao's [-] troops gathered into a regiment and marched along the Wei River.First captured and occupied the southern part of Hanyang, then marched along the Weishui River to Longxi.As for Wudu County, which is located in the south of Hanyang and Longxi, surrounded by mountains in Shu, as long as Hanyang is captured, Longxi, Wudu can be conquered overnight.

Civilization originated from water. There are many cities along the Weishui River. Cao Cao moved west all the way, collecting the cities very quickly.But why, because Cao Cao is ruthless, but his ruthlessness has not changed much because he surrendered to Liu Bian. If there is fierce resistance from the defenders, Cao Cao will massacre the Xiliang defenders if the city is broken.In this way, wherever Cao Cao's troops are heading, all places are watching the wind and surrendering.

Cao Cao marched along the Weishui River, collecting major cities along the way, making people retreat from the main roads, and scattered them to collect remote counties.Some Xiliang soldiers who had fled fled north and informed Cao Cao of the massacre, and they were so frightened that they abandoned the city and surrendered.Sometimes Cao Cao went as far as to count several cities in one day.

At this time, Cao Cao had already entered Ji County in Longxi, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao went all the way to inquire, and came here to join Cao Cao.Cao Cao was eager to take Longxi as soon as possible, so his troops stationed outside Ji County. When Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others returned, Cao Cao hurried out of the city to meet them.

"The last general has seen General Cao!" Zhao Yunxia Houlan got off her horse and bowed her hands to Cao Cao.

"Ma Chao and Meng Qi met General Cao!" Ma Chao also saluted Cao Cao.

"You don't need to be too polite, General Long, you have worked so hard all the way!" Cao Cao helped Zhao Yun up, then looked at Ma Chao and said with a smile, "This is the son of General Ma Teng, right?

Talking about Ma Teng, Ma Chao was not very interested, but he cupped his hands and said: "The general is absurd, but it's a pity that this time I troubled my brother-in-law to enter Xiliang, not to mention that my father died and was not rescued, and it was damaged." Many brothers of Baima Yicong!"

"Hey, I didn't expect the Mongolian cavalry to be united so quickly. The Western Regions would be unified so quickly. Otherwise, the prefect of Shoucheng wouldn't have... I have already sent someone to report to His Majesty on a flying horse. Your Majesty, please pursue the prefect of Ma, and it will be here soon." There is news!" Cao Cao shook his head and said.

When Ma Chao heard this, his heart ached. Ma Teng wished for death. Wasn't it the reward that Ma Teng wanted in exchange?Taking a breath, Ma Chao suppressed the sadness in his heart and cupped his hands: "Thank you, General Cao!"

Cao Cao waved his hands and said, "This is a matter of Cao's job. Ma Taishou sacrificed his life for the country, how can we let it go hastily? It's windy outside, let's talk in the tent, although some soldiers have told the story of the battle with the Mongolian cavalry , but a certain family knows that it is definitely not as exciting as what Zilong and Mengqi said!"

A group of people entered the big tent of the Chinese army. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao told Cao Cao about the battle.Cao Cao, who listened directly, applauded with the soldiers in the tent.

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Cao Cao said with a smile: "The Mongolian cavalry marched across the Western Regions and the Mobei Grassland, but they were defeated by you, and their morale was greatly reduced. During this time, we can recover Longxi, Hanyang and other places as soon as possible! I will also share the results of this battle." Report it to Luoyang, please Your Majesty reward some generals!"

After hearing this, several people clapped their hands in joy and said, "Thank you, General Cao!"

Cao Cao nodded and said: "When Zilong comes back, I will be much more relaxed. There are many strong cities in Xihe Hanyang, and I don't have any generals around me, so the speed of attacking the city is too slow! So I want Zilong to lead the Baimayi Cong and five thousand The infantry cross the Wei River to attack Hanyang, and I will lead the main force to attack Longxi!"

"The last general takes orders!" Zhao Yun clapped his hands and said.

Cao Cao was looking at Ma Chao and said: "Meng Qi, you will be in our army first, and you will be settled when the emperor appoints you!"

Ma Chao said: "I am inseparable from the Mongols, and it is a great honor to be able to fight against the Mongolian Ma Chao in the general's army!"

"If I have a general like you under my command, why worry about the thieves' injustice!" Cao Cao laughed loudly after hearing this.

On the second day, Zhao Yun and Bai Mayi led five thousand infantry across the Wei River to attack Hanyang County after taking a rest for a whole day.Ma Chao also temporarily stayed in Cao Cao's army, waiting for Liu Bian's handling.Cao Cao also sent the letter back to Luoyang, Chang'an, informing Liu Bian of the battle, and asked Liu Bian to decide on the rewards for Zhao Yun and others, and the appointment of the Ma family.

The news reached Chang'an a few days later, and it happened that Liu Bian was in Chang'an, so there was no need to send him to Luoyang.Wang Meng and others came to question Liu Bian with letters.

Liu Bian had already known the course of the war and the news of Ma Teng's death through the system.There is already a calculation in my heart.However, Wang Meng and others just found out that they were very excited to defeat the Mongolian cavalry.Liu Bian pretended to be happy.

After chatting and laughing for a while, they asked Liu Bian for his opinion.

Liu Bian said: "Ma Teng was loyal and devoted himself to the country, so he was posthumously named General Fubo and Marquis of Xinxi, and his son Ma Chao succeeded him. If Ma Chao made great achievements in the future, his second son Ma Teng would inherit the title! As for Ma Chao Just serve in Mengde's army, Ma Teng's other children were sent to Luoyang when they were still young, to learn literature and martial arts, and cultivate them into talents!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!" Wang Meng and the others nodded without any objection. As a prince of one side, Ma Teng's thoughts could be seen by Wang Meng and others.But at any rate, he has sacrificed his life for the country, and he is worthy of him if he has this posthumous title.And such kindness can also set an example for other princes.

"In addition, for Zilong's great contribution, he was named General Xiaoqi, and Li Yuanfang and Pang De were named captains to serve under Meng De's command!" Liu Bian waved his hand again, announcing the rewards for Zhao Yun and the others.

"In addition, send a letter to Meng De to garrison Longxi, guard against Mongolia, and ignore the affairs of Chang'an! Also, expand the Baima Yicong and the Majia cavalry to 5000 each, and send the equipment as soon as possible. In addition, the cavalry under Ma Chao's men As a heavy cavalry, I named him a tiger and leopard iron cavalry, and I hope he will be as brave as a tiger and leopard in battle, and expand my territory for me!"
