Chapter 599

Cao Cao asked Ma Chao to take Han Sui and Jia Xu to Luoyang to report on his duties. Ma Chao readily agreed, then thought about it and said: "Commander, after I leave, Jincheng will be stable, and the northern region is still unstable. What should we do if the Mongols attack aggressively? "

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Mongols are also resting and recuperating. Our army dispatched quickly, like a thunderbolt. Even if the Mongols know about it, by then this side will be stable. And the Mongols are aggressively attacking, our army Occupying the Jincheng and the Northland, the stability is as precipitous as the Yellow River, and it is also strong enough to resist and send each other away. After you leave, the tiger and leopard cavalry will be under the command of your deputy general Cao Xiao for the time being."

Ma Chao looked at Cao Xiao who was behind him. Over the years, Cao Cao's adopted son had learned martial arts from Ma Chao and Zhao Yun every day, and learned the art of war from Cao Cao. His ability had made great progress.Today's four-dimensional attributes are: force 96, commander 92, intelligence 83, politics 69.

In recent years, Cao Cao guarded Longxi and pacified the surrounding Qianghu. Cao Xiao, as Cao Cao's adopted son, charged forward and greatly exercised his abilities.Accumulated military merits rose to deputy commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and won the trust and respect of Cao Cao and Ma Chao.

"I'm relieved to have Zidan here, Commander, I'll take Han Sui and Jia Xu to Luoyang to return to Luoyang!" Ma Chao looked at Cao Xiao and nodded. He led dozens of cavalry to Luoyang.

After Ma Chao left, Cao Cao ordered: "Zilong, you lead Baima Yicong to the two counties of Anding in the north, stationed along the Yellow River, and sent scouts to strictly investigate the news of the Mongols. If there is any movement, report it immediately!"

"The last general takes orders!" Zhao Yun bowed his hands and retreated. Cao Cao looked at Cao Xiao again and said, "Zidan, you lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to the border of Jincheng, strictly inquire about the news of the Mongols, and report as soon as you have news!"

Cao Xiao arched his hands and retreated. Cao Cao finally looked at Li Yuanfang, Pang De and the two, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Fang, you should immediately notify the rear of Guanzhong and ask Di Shishi to gather talents from Guanzhong to set up a list to calm the people and stabilize the Yellow River as soon as possible. Edom."

"Pang De, you immediately break up the Xiliang army and form an army of those who are finally big and strong. The rest will be temporarily detained and dealt with when officials from Chang'an arrive!"

One order after another came from Cao Cao's mouth, and the generals went to execute it without hesitation. Those who went to defend defended, those who set up a list to calm the people calmed the people, and those who governed the army governed the army.The intention is to control the east of the Yellow River in Liangzhou as soon as possible, so as not to give the Mongols a chance to invade again.

And Ma Chao took Han Sui and Jia Xu to Luoyang, arrived in Luoyang a few days later, and was received by Liu Bian.This is the first meeting between the monarch and his ministers since Ma Chao joined the Han Dynasty.

"The last general, Ma Chao, pays homage to His Majesty!" In the study, Ma Chao bowed his hands to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian favored Ma Chao a lot, worked for the big man for several years, or became sworn brothers with Zhao Yun. The original rebelliousness of the young master of the Ma family army has also turned into stability.The army is indeed the best place to change a person. Liu Bian laughed and helped Ma Chao up and said, "As expected of my General Fubo, he is indeed very powerful. Get up quickly!"

Ma Chao stood up and said modestly, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian asked Ma Chao to sit down and asked Ma Chao to tell the story of the battle, and Ma Chao told the details of the incident one by one.After hearing this, Liu Bian clapped his hands and praised: "This Jia Wenhe's scheme is too vicious. It's a pity that Yan Xing, if it weren't for Meng De's prudent use of troops, the tiger and leopard cavalry would not be afraid of ordinary ambushes. Once."

Liu Bian said he was complaining about Jia Xu's vicious schemes, but he was full of praise. Ma Chao knew that Liu Bian didn't mean to blame Jia Xu.Liu Bian murmured and said: "Meng Qi, since you and Yan Xing have settled the feud, and he still has a family, and Yan Xing can be regarded as a sacrifice for the country, I plan to pursue Yan as the Marquis of Guan Nei, and let you take care of Yan Xing's family, What do you think?"

Yan Xing didn't have many successes, and he was able to win Jincheng only because he was used as a spear by Jia Xu, but it cannot be denied that he has a heart that is finally a man.Liu Bian treated him so well, half of it was to regret, and the other half was to show others, so that others would not betray the big man, or if they betrayed the big man, they would turn around as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Ma Chao was grateful and said: "Your Majesty is merciful, Yan Xing has young sons and daughters, and no one is taking care of them. In the end, he will decide to let them live with his younger brothers and sisters."

"This is the best. Your younger brother and sister are now living in General Fubo's mansion in Luoyang. They are studying Wen and practicing martial arts. Although Ma Dai and Ma Tie are young, they are very skilled in martial arts. The two of them are now in the imperial army. After training, I'm a centurion!" Liu Bian said with a smile.

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this. Now that he is serving in the army, he doesn't care about his younger brothers and sisters. He didn't expect Liu Bian to raise them well. Ma Chao is even more attached to the big man, and he is even more grateful to Liu Bian , grateful.

"Your Majesty, this time I will come to Beijing and bring back Han Sui and Jia Xu, please deal with it!"

Speaking of Han Sui, Liu Bian slapped the table and said, "You shouldn't have brought this Han Sui back. You should just behead him in Xiliang, so as to set the record straight. But since you brought it back, you will be there tomorrow at three quarters noon." The beheading at Caishikou outside the city will be supervised by you personally, and you can take your head home to pay homage to old General Ma Teng."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling it!" Ma Chao was very excited after hearing this.

Liu Bian waved his hands and said solemnly: "This Han Sui deserves to die for his crime. I'm just doing business. You finally come back and reunite with your brother quickly. Then Jia Xu will send someone to bring it later, and I will To meet him."

"The last general will leave!" Ma Chao cupped his hands and left, but immediately, the guard brought Jia Xu to the study.

"Criminal Jia Wenhe pays homage to His Majesty." Jia Xu knelt down on the ground facing Liu Bian. Liu Bian looked at Jia Xu. Jia Xu is now around 50 years old, his hair is half white, his height is less than seven feet, and his appearance is very ordinary. , like an ordinary rich man, ordinary people.

What eagle-eyed wolf, hooked nose, back bone, and triangular eyes, Jia Xu does not occupy, but Jia Xu's eyes are very clear, half-squinted, like a hidden poisonous snake, once he moves out , will bite.

"Sinner, what is your crime, Jia Wenhe?" Liu Bian laughed lightly.

"The criminals followed Dong Zhuo first, and then Niu Fu and Han Sui. They deserve death!" Jia Xu said with his head down.

"Okay, I won't kill you. Although you have followed Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, and Han Sui successively, you have never offered a single plan. Now that you have repented and helped Mengde take down Jincheng, I forgive you for your innocence, and speak up." Liu Bian waved his hand and said.

Only then did Jia Xu get up slowly, seeing the old fellow Jia Xu getting up slowly, Liu Bian couldn't bear it, so he stretched out his hand to give him a hand.Liu Bian took the chair of the meeting and asked Jia Xu to sit on the grand teacher's chair. Liu Bian looked at Jia Xu and said, "Meng Qi told me everything about you. Let's talk about Wen You. He sent you a letter before he died. A letter, what did it say?"

Jia Xu sighed and said: "Wen You saw that the imperial examinations are popular now, and the children of poor families have a way out, so he has nothing to worry about. When he was in Yizhou, his identity was exposed, but he still wanted to give it a try. If he won, he would continue Serving for His Majesty, he doesn't care if he loses. It can only be said that the Sima family is superior in the end."

"So it's like this..." Liu Bian's heart sank. He originally thought that Li Ru would work hard for him when he saw the prosperity of the poor family, but he didn't expect Li Ru to turn his back on it.Liu Bian shook his head and said, "What about you, do you accept Li Ru's invitation and plan to work for me?"

"Criminals are willing to die, and they are willing to devote themselves to His Majesty in order to atone for their past sins." Jia Xu said seriously.

Seeing Jia Xu, who is well versed in self-preservation, say such words, Liu Bian couldn't help being amused and moved.After pondering for a moment, he said: "Then there are two ways for you to go now. One is to serve as a military adviser in Mengde's army, and the other is to take over Wenyou's burden and rebuild the Jinyi Guard in Shuzhong. In order to ensure your safety, you command the Shu army in Chang'an." The establishment of Zhongjinyiwei, which one do you choose?"

Without even thinking about it, Jia Xu said: "Criminals choose the second option, Wen You died unjustly, I want to see what is so great about the Sima family."

"Okay, since that's the case, you should first familiarize yourself with the operation of Jinyiwei in Luoyang, and go to Chang'an in the spring of next year to rebuild the Jinyiwei in central Shu. However, there is Sima Yi in the Sima family. Don't be careless, and follow in Li Ru's footsteps." Liu Bian urged.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Jia Xu nodded, but her eyes rolled away, wondering what she was thinking.

When Jia Xu came to vote, Liu Bian also had other thoughts. Now the commander of the Jinyiwei, Wei Xiaokuan, is sitting in Yanmen as a military adviser, and the Jinyiwei has no leader.What Wei Xiaokuan is good at is judging people, using divisive tactics, arranging secrets, and controlling public opinion.And Jia Xu is scheming and good at using poisonous tricks. Now that the Jinyiwei has been arranged, Wei Xiaokuan is no longer suitable to be the commander of the Jinyiwei.

So Liu Bian decided to slowly train Jia Xu, and brought Jia Xu to this position, and Wei Xiaokuan served as a military adviser in Bingzhou, controlling the military aircraft. Of course, Wei Xiaokuan did not completely break away from Jinyiwei. Many places in Jinyiwei really cannot do without him.

Besides, Ma Chao, under the leadership of Liu Bian sent people, returned to General Fubo's Mansion in Luoyang, his home in Luoyang.Stepping into the gate, one could only hear clanging in the foyer. Ma Chao walked in and saw a woman wielding a spear.

A few sergeants from the Fuzhong around were besieging with long spears, but the women's spear dance was airtight, and the splashing water was not close, and the sergeants could not get close at all.

The girl is about 15 years old, looks young, but she is a beauty, but she is wearing a leather armor, but she is a wild horse that is difficult to tame.Several people surrounded the girl in the center and fought for a long time. Ma Chao couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Sister is good at kung fu!"

After hearing Ma Chao's words, the girl stopped unconsciously, looked at Ma Chao's eyes full of doubts, and stayed there for a while, the girl's eyes were full of joy, she rushed forward and hugged Ma Chao excitedly: "Brother, you are finally back .”

Ma Chao hugged his younger sister Ma Yunlu, quite excited, and stroked his chin with his hands, saying: "I think you only came to my chest when we parted, and it's only been three or four years since I last saw you, and you've grown so tall."

Ma Yunlu pouted and said: "Brother, you also know that you haven't seen me in three or four years, and you don't know to come back to see me these years."

Ma Chao said helplessly: "The Mongols are confronting our army in Liangzhou, and I can't escape easily. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of defeating Han Sui, I escort Han Sui to Beijing, and then come back to see you when I have time."

Ma Yunlu was very excited when he heard this: "Han Sui was caught by you, how will His Majesty deal with him?"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Han Sui, a traitor, deserves what he deserves. His Majesty ordered Caishikou to behead him tomorrow, and I supervised the beheading. I happened to take his head to pay homage to my father's spirit in heaven."
