Cao Cao returned to the army from Hebei, and across the entire land of China, the princes of all parties had different reactions.
For example, our Liu Huangshu Liu Paopao children's shoes, Cao Cao swung his army back to Xudu. He didn't bring his men down to play, but he must be preparing to mobilize troops to march into Yangzhou.
Once this Yangzhou and Cao Cao go to war, then Liu Bei will die of laughter. Now Liu Bei is waiting for the crane to occupy the nest, take down Jingzhou, and then plot Yizhou.
Once Cao Cao and that little boy Liu Mang were fighting in full swing, he, Liu Daer, would be the last one to be proud.
He wished that one of them died and the other was injured, so that he could take advantage of it.
There are also those who are cautious and vigilant, such as Liu Mang in Yangzhou, Liu Mang now, the huge machines in Yangzhou have started to operate, and countless supplies, military equipment, food and grass have all been transported to several cities on the front line, and now they are fighting with Yanzhou In the overlapping generation, the entire army is ready for war.
The rest are those who forcibly hold their thighs, such as our Ma Teng children's shoes and Han Sui children's shoes. These two people are holding Cao Cao's thighs tightly. They are all showing Cao Cao and giving them to us. Cao Cao's children's shoes went to the table, thinking that Cao Cao's children's shoes had done enough to be king. If it weren't for Lao Cao's lack of thick skin, he might be the king of Wei now.
That's it, our Cao Cao still made himself the Duke of Wei, just one step away from the prince.
"We have seen Your Majesty, we have seen Duke Wei, and we wish Duke Wei a victorious return! Peace to the world for my great man!" A group of Yanzhou civil and military soldiers bowed down to Cao Cao over there under the leadership of Xun Yu.
Cao Cao was very satisfied. Standing on the court hall, he looked down at the civil and military men of Yanzhou below.
"Stay flat!" On the main seat. A young man in imperial robes. Said to the crowd of Yanzhou civil and military officials below.
This person is Han Emperor Liu Xie. Back then, King Chen Liu was born to a beautiful woman, and he was smart since he was a child. Because he was favored by Dong Zhuo, he changed from King Chen Liu to the current Emperor of Han. This person has the capital of ZTE, but he was born in the wrong age.
Han Emperor Liu Xie had already spoken, but none of the Yanzhou civil and military people below moved a single inch. Still kneeling on the ground, lowering his head as if waiting for someone's order.
Liu Xie's eyes narrowed immediately, and an unspoken anger reverberated in his heart.
"Get up!" Cao Cao said to his subordinates.
"No!" Only then did the crowd dare to raise their heads, and slowly rose from the ground to fight.
"Huh!" Han Emperor Liu Xie snorted coldly, although it was very small, it was also heard by Cao Cao who was close to him.
The corner of Cao Cao's mouth lifted into a slight smile. This Han Emperor was no longer the original Han Emperor, and he, Cao Cao, was also not the old Cao Cao. Back then, he wanted to be Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, but now he has no intention of being Zhou Gong, even if he is willing to be Cao Cao. The following forces that are tied to Cao Cao will not agree.
They share weal and woe, once Cao Cao loses power. They are also difficult to escape. If Cao Cao tried his best to stop it or said that he still needed the fig leaf of the Han Dynasty, he would have been added by the yellow robe long ago.
"Wei Gong's return is originally a matter of my great man, but today I am not feeling well, so I will play if I have a reason, and I will retreat if I have no reason!" Liu Xie doesn't want to stay here anymore. He came to Yanzhou At the time, I thought that Cao Cao was the minister of Zhongxing, but in the end, it was just wolf ambition.
As a child of the Han family, he, Liu Xie, was helpless. He watched his great Han country fall into the hands of outsiders step by step. Can Liu Xie feel better
In particular, Liu Xie was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's monopoly of power and was unwilling to be a puppet. He secretly ordered Dong Guiren's father, Dong Cheng, the chariot general, to try to kill Cao Cao. Dong Chengsui conspired with Zuo General Liu Bei, Changshui Xiaowei Zhong Ji, General Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, etc. As a result, the matter was revealed, Dong Cheng and others were all executed by Cao Cao, and the pregnant Dong Guiren was also strangled. After this time, Liu Xie left a deep hatred for Cao Cao. If he was not afraid of Cao Cao, Liu Xie would have quit long ago.
How could it be possible that Cao Cao didn't know Liu Xie's mind, and there were two sneers on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something important to announce!" Cao Cao walked to the center and said to Liu Xie over there.
There was no intention of bowing down, nor any sign of respect, just looking straight at Liu Xie without bowing his head, and even Liu Xie could see the joke from the corner of Cao Cao's mouth.
Liu Xie was naturally angry and angry. But for the sake of his own life, he forcibly endured it.
"What's the matter with Mr. Wei? You can talk about it!" Liu Xie said to Cao Cao over there.
"Your Majesty, there are two things that the old minister wants to say!" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie over there.
"oh?"
"One! Your Majesty's old minister must set an example!" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie over there.
"Who can get into Duke Wei's eyes?"
"Come here, invite former general Ma Teng to the palace!" Cao Cao said to the eunuch under his command.
"Tell, the former general Ma Teng is going to the palace!" Soon the voice came out with a loud voice.
"My lord, the former general Ma Teng has met His Majesty, Duke Wei, Gong Gong Kang!" A middle-aged general stepped into the hall and said to Liu Xie and Cao Cao above.
"Ma Teng!" Liu Xie turned his head and looked fiercely at Cao Cao over there. This Ma Teng is a former general, and he even has the position of governor of Xiliang. He should have been stationed in Xiliang. With the permission of the court, he is not allowed to return to the court, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion.
But now, no one has informed him of the Emperor Han.
"Ma Teng, who told you to come back? You don't know that returning to Xudu privately is a capital offense?" Liu Xie yelled at Ma Teng over there.
But Ma Teng didn't respond to Liu Xie, but looked like Cao Cao over there.
"Your Majesty, the former general was called back by the old minister!" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie over there, "The old minister was too busy and confused, and forgot to notify His Majesty!" reason for reason.
Forgot to tell Liu Xie? A general who was fighting in the Outer Forest Army came back immediately, but he, the emperor, didn't know it, and Cao Cao replied that he forgot. Coax ghosts.
"Your Majesty. Ma Teng, the former general. When he was in Pinghebei, he made outstanding contributions and defeated Guo Yuanjun. His son Ma Chao's subordinate Pang De personally killed Guo Yuan on the battlefield. When General Ma Teng was in Sanfu, he defended Hu Kou, a white cavalry prepared in the east, favored scholars to recommend talented people, and mercifully rescued the people. He was loved by the people of the three assistants. Later, General Ma Teng defeated Gao Gan and Zhang Shengjun, and beheaded the rebellious Wei Gu and others. Such a pillar of the country should be rewarded heavily, and the old minister thought that the former general Ma Teng should be made a guard." Cao Cao's words appeared to be a consultation with Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty, but that was not the meaning of consultation at all.
Before Liu Xie could speak, Ma Teng fell down on his knees, "The last general thanked the Lord for his kindness!"
"General Ma Teng, no! It should be Sir Wei Wei. I hope that your majesty will not disappoint His Majesty's entrustment!" Cao Cao directly passed Liu Xie and said to Ma Teng.
"Naturally, naturally!" Ma Teng grinned. Wei Wei, this is the third position among the nine ministers. Mastering the defense of the palace, if it is placed now, it is the commander-in-chief of the capital military region.
Their Ma family has always considered themselves to be the heirs of General Fubo Ma Yuan, this is to put gold on his Ma family's face, just like Sun Quan thinks he is the descendant of his grandson, this is to elevate his own If you say you are the son of the former president, others will take a second look at you. If you say that I am the son of a farmer or a butcher, people may not even look at you, and may even harbor malice towards you.
Because above this world is a world that does not suffer from few but suffers from inequality. If you are just the son of a farmer or a butcher, everyone is wondering why you, the son of a butcher, can stand in such a high position, and why I can't, even many self-proclaimed people are unwilling to talk to you. The former general He Jin was born as a butcher, so he was ridiculed and looked down upon by many people, and no one was willing to work for He Jin.
And if you say that I am a descendant of the former president, or that I am a descendant of that emperor, it will be different immediately, and others will think, so this is the blood of the royal family, or it is the blood of the noble family. The ancestors were like that, no wonder the descendants are also so strong, in fact, who knew that the ancestors also came from farmers. But humans are complex animals, aren’t they
The current Ma Teng has completely surpassed his Fubo General Ma Yuan's ancestor, so in the future, Ma Teng can proudly respect himself, and future generations can proudly say that I am the descendant of Weiwei Ma Teng. Ma Teng can not be happy.
"Wei Gong, I'm already a Wei Wei. I should bow to the essence, but I still have the position of Xiliang governor. Although I am old, I am not as energetic as my youth. I also ask Wei Gong to take back the position of Xiliang governor. Minister, you can call back your sons and relatives and reunite with your family in Xudu!" Ma Teng began to show his loyalty.
He wanted Cao Cao to take back his position as governor of Xiliang because he wanted Cao Cao to take back his military power. To fish in troubled waters.
But later, Ma Teng gradually realized the fact that Xiliang has no heroes since Dong Zhuo, because Xiliang is a place of bitter cold, and the vitality of Xiliang has been emptied by Dong Zhuo. I can't stand another character like Dong Zhuo anymore. In addition to Xiliang, it is not only Ma Teng who is alone in Xiliang, but also Han Sui. So after fighting for so many years, Ma Teng is only a mere Xiliang, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, all of them are cavalry, but food and grass are stretched short, and it is impossible to go further.
Cao Cao pacified the north, Shu Wang Liu Mang pacified the Central Plains, and it was time for him, Ma Teng, to stand in line. Ma Teng chose Cao Cao, because he was close. If he took refuge in Shu Wang Liu Mang, Cao Cao would be the first one not to let Ma Teng go.
Relying on the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command in exchange for the position of Jiuqing, Ma Teng still made money.
"Where is General Ma Teng, if the general is already old, then what am I, Cao!" Although Cao Cao was blaming Ma Teng over there, the joy was painted in his eyes. It can be said that Liang actually fell into the hands of Cao Cao. After acquiring Xiliang, except for Liaodong, Cao Cao's rear can be said to be stable. Without the harassment from the rear, then he only needs to attack the Central Plains and the South wholeheartedly. .
Cao Cao is still very happy that a Wei Wei can be transferred to Xiliang.
What's more, although Xiliang is barren, the barren place is the place where elite soldiers are produced.
For example, the original Bingzhou wolf riders came out of that barren land of Bingzhou, and Xiliang is no weaker than Bingzhou.
Even Cao Cao heard that Ma Teng had a son named Ma Chao, who was extremely brave.
If after getting the powerful iron cavalry from Xiliang, and then getting Ma Chao, a fierce general, it would really be like a tiger with wings added.
"I heard that General Ma Teng has a son named Ma Chao who is invincible across Xiliang?" Cao Cao asked with interest.
After hearing Cao Cao's words, all the civil and military people in Yanzhou were a little dissatisfied, especially those generals, who are invincible, but they are just products from a small place.
"Haha, Duke Wei praised it absurdly. The dog is only famous. It can't be compared with those powerful generals under Duke Wei's command!" Ma Teng said modestly.
"How can a tiger father have a son? General Ma Teng doesn't need to be humble. Now, when I am a big man who wants to re-command Kyushu, it is time to employ people. Can General Ma Teng let his beloved son join our Yanzhou army and unify Kyushu?" Cao Cao has already blatantly poached Ma Teng.
Originally, Ma Teng was ready to join Cao Cao's army, and his son would have done his best to serve Cao Cao, but this Ma Chao was different. "Wei Gong, this!" Ma Teng said in embarrassment.
"What's the matter! Is General Ma Teng in trouble?" Cao Cao asked.
"Wei Gong, the dog has been stubborn since he was a child. I'm afraid he will be stubborn!" Ma Teng said. It turns out that Ma Chao also ignored Ma Teng, because Ma Chao's mother died because of Ma Teng, and Ma Teng wanted his status. , there was no money to rescue Ma Chao's mother, and finally Ma Chao's mother died in Han Sui's hands.
Since then, Ma Chao has been indifferent to this father. If Ma Teng was not Ma Chao's father, Ma Chao might have rebelled against Ma Teng.
"This?" Cao Cao frowned, he didn't expect this to happen, "After all, there is no overnight feud between father and son, General Ma Teng need not worry!"
I'm afraid Ma Chao won't be able to take it for a while, but Cao Cao is not in a hurry, because the battle with Yangzhou has not yet started, at least until the autumn harvest, when the first wave of grain and grass enter the treasury, Cao Cao can A large army attacked Yangzhou.
"How about this, General Ma Teng, since you have the official position of Wei Wei, let Ru'er, the governor of Xiliang, take over first, and wait for someone more suitable before letting Ma Chao enter Xudu, Ma Teng General, what do you think?" Cao Cao really loved his talents, and even wanted Ma Chao to succeed Ma Teng as the governor of Xiliang.
"Ah!" Ma Teng was also taken aback for a moment, "Wei Gong, how can a dog be so good!"
"That's it. I believe in my own eyes!" Cao Cao said with a smile. He knew that Ma Chao was because of Xu Chu. is the opponent.
Xu Chu is one of Cao Cao's most powerful fighters, similar to Xu Chu, enough to know Ma Chao's strength.
"Ma Teng took his dog to thank Duke Wei!"
With a wave of Cao Cao's hand, he appointed his son Ma Chao as a general in charge of Xiliang's affairs, his son Ma Xiu as the captain of the car, and Ma Tie as the captain of the cavalry. This Ma family can be regarded as a full-fledged official. (To be continued..)
