NFBE Chapter 181
Chapter 181
In the spring of 200, due to Xun Mu's calculations, the pattern of the world changed greatly.
Yan Liang, the mighty general of Jizhou, and Yan Liang, the sixth in the Heavenly List, broke the sand outside Tongguan and was beheaded by the Western Liang Jinma Chao Array.
At the same time, Xu Yu, who ranked fourth in the Heavenly List, was also captured by Jia Xusheng after Yan Liang was beheaded.
After this battle.
The world was stunned.
Especially for the Western Liang Jinma Chao who killed Yan Liang, he paid more attention!
Luoyang and the area around Tiger Prison Pass.
Because of Yan Liang's death, the city pass was once again recovered by Zhong Xiu.
And Cao Cao, who got the news, also turned his soldiers and horses back to Xudu.
After the expedition.
Cao Cao and Zhou Yu's last temptation, although they succeeded in achieving their goal, also left calamities.
After all, Empress Fu was blocked in the palace by Zhou Yu, which caused Xu Du Wenwu to criticize Zhou Yu.
Even Xun Yu's uncle and nephew came to visit Zhou Yu angrily.
But all this, Zhou Yu has been silent.
Before Cao Cao returned to Xu Du, Zhou Yu was silent!
Xu needs energy to stabilize.
There is also the next battle of Fa Yuan to be laid out.
Cao Cao had no more energy to pay attention to Luoyang's affairs.
Even.
I haven't even seen Ma Chao's face, let alone Huang Zhong and Tai Shici hidden in Ma Chao's army!
Luoyang.
Ma Chao's Western Liang Army, Zhang Xiu's Wancheng Army, and the soldiers and horses under Zhong Xiu's control, plus the surrender of Jizhou, all gathered in the ancient capital of Luoyang.
After several years of recovery.
The ancient capital of Luoyang, although not as prosperous as before Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, is barely a big city.
"Lord Si, Xu Du's appointment is here!"
Mao Jie came to Luoyang from Xudu and Starry Night to hand Cao Cao and his new appointment to Zhong Xiu, the commander of the division.
"Merge Sizhi and Liangzhou into Yongzhou?"
The merger of Daehanju County into Kyushu was originally more than ten years later.
However, if the situation has changed drastically today, Cao Cao is worried that he will not be able to control too many prefectures and counties, so he uses the power of Cheng 31 Xiang.
First, Liangzhou and Si were merged, and Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Shangjun, Xihe County, Beidi County, Jingzhaoyin, Feng Yi County, Fufeng County, Longxi County, Jincheng County, Tianshui County, Anding County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County, and more than a dozen counties were directly divided into Yongzhou.
In this way, in the northwest area, there is no Liangzhou and Sizhi, and only one large prefecture, Yongzhou.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, was justified, letting his close confidant Zhong Xiu serve as the pastor of Yongzhou and control the power of the prefecture and county.
If it were not for the current situation, it would not allow.
Cao Cao also wanted to incorporate Youzhou and Union Prefecture into Ji Prefecture, remove Jiaozhou, and assign all counties to Linzhou.
Let the great Han Kyushu roughly coincide with the ancient Yugong Kyushu.
Namely: Yuzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and Yongzhou.
With this purpose, to realize Cao Cao's political ambitions!
When the Battle of Fa Yuan was over, Cao Cao was able to take over the pastoral of Jizhou on his own.
But this self-ruled Jizhou Mu is far stronger than Yuan Shao.
Because of the merger of prefectures and counties, Cao Cao was able to actually control the three prefectures of Youzhou, Hezhou and Jizhou!
Plus the merged Yongzhou.
Cao Cao seems to have only controlled two states, but it is actually a county in the six northern states!
This kind of clever way is why Cao Cao has the qualifications to do it!
And there is another such benefit.
Cao Cao, you can restore the ancient system to provide theoretical support for your own Jin Duke!
Cao Cao is no longer satisfied with being a prime minister!
Even if, the battle of Fa Yuan has not yet begun!
But Cao Cao has already seen that victory is beckoning!
Those who seek things often seek the aftermath.
If you wait until Yuan Shao is destroyed before making a plot, it will be too late in time!
And this time to change the prefecture and county is also an early attempt by Cao Cao!
Zhong Xiu was smart and shrewd, and quickly understood Cao Cao's intentions.
Zhong Xiu, who chose to be attached to the Cao clan, was overjoyed by Cao Cao's plan.
After all.
The stronger Cao Cao, the stronger the vassal Zhong clan will be!
"Mr. Mao has worked hard, the meaning of the lord, Zhong Xiu understands!"
"Does the Lord have any other instructions?"
Seeing that Zhong Xiu understood, Mao Jie didn't say much, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "The lord said that Ma Chao is a horse, and if it can be tamed, it will be tamed; If you can't tame, eradicate it! "
The bell was awe-inspiring.
After Ma Chao went through this battle, his reputation was increasing day by day!
After all, that Yan Liang is the twelve people on Xun Mulie's heavenly list that affect the future direction of the situation!
Ma Chao almost stepped on Yan Liang's neck, and his reputation shocked the world!
If he could not sincerely submit to Cao Cao, even if Liangzhou was included in Yongzhou.
In this area of Xiliang, Ma Chao wants to cheer up, but Zhong Xiu may not be able to bear it!
"Ma Chao is brave, now under his command, there is Jia Xuan who has a plan, can't be in a hurry!"
"I will find a way to balance the forces in Yongzhou first."
Mao Jie nodded, explained some details to Zhong Xiu, and returned to Xu Du again.
In the barracks.
Ma Chao set up a banquet for hospitality.
Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Jiang Yu and others were all seated.
Three rounds of wine.
Ma Chao asked Pound to personally guard the big tent to avoid sudden visits from outsiders.
"In this battle, I Ma Chao, thanks to your assistance, I achieved the great achievement of killing Yan Liang."
"Righteous brother, my Ma Chao can be regarded as having face!"
"Old General Huang, General Ziyi, after you return to Xuzhou, you have to thank me for my righteous brother!"
Ma Chao is a teenager's heart in the end.
Although he killed Yan Liang, he thought more about it in front of Xun Mu.
There is a righteous brother who plans the world and is like God, and the pressure is still great!
Ma Chao felt that if he didn't have some skills, he would be embarrassed to claim to be Xun Mu's righteous brother in the future!
Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "This is a trivial matter, if Xun Junshi hears that Meng Qi killed Yan Liang, he will definitely be proud!" "
People here.
We all know the relationship between Ma Chao and Xun Mu, and there is nothing to hide.
Or rather.
In the big tent now, whether it is Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, or Jiang Yu, these Western Liang Hao clans, they can be regarded as Xun Mu's faction.
Chatted for a while.
Tai Shici said: "Xun Junshi specially instructed that if Yan Liang dies, Jizhou will inevitably be in chaos, and General Huang and I must return to Xuzhou as soon as possible to participate in the battle to destroy Yuan; Meng Qi had already killed Yan Liang and achieved great achievements, and it was not appropriate to participate in the battle to destroy Yuan at this time. "
"One avoids too much credit and is suspected by Cao Cao and Zhong Xiu."
"Of the two, Xun Junshi also doesn't want Meng Qi to be targeted by Yuan Shao!"
Ma Chao was a little unfinished: "I don't participate!" That's a shame! "
Killing Yan Liang is just an appetizer.
The battle to destroy Yuan is the main play.
But Xun Mu didn't want Ma Chao to participate in the battle to destroy Yuan, which naturally made Ma Chao feel a little frustrated.
At this time, Jiang Yu said, "Meng Qi! The battle to destroy Yuan is not something that can be fought; The pre-war layout also had to take a year and a half. "
"If Meng Qi is too eager at this time, I'm worried that Cao Cao and Zhong Xiu will clean up Meng Qi first!"
Ma Chao was furious: "Clean me up? They dare? Without our Xiliang athletes, Zhong Xiu can beat Yan Liang? Crossing the river and demolishing bridges is not done like this! "
Jiang Yu said: "Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, if you want to start the battle to destroy Yuan, it must be a blow with all your strength, so there is no room for other mistakes." "
"Pull the trigger and move the whole body!"
"What's more, Mr. Jia and General Zhang Xiu are now under the name of General Fubo."
"Cao Cao, the death of his son, this hatred may not be able to be let go!"
Ma Chao was awe-inspiring.
Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu, now under General Topi Fubo, are nominally Ma Chao's men. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
So.
Whether it was Zhong Xiu or Cao Cao, there was no reason to trouble Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu now.
After all.
The two are also heroes in defeating Yan Liang.
Even if everyone knows that Cao Cao has a personal feud with Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu, they can only forget about this on the surface!
As for whether it will be forgotten in private, it is another matter!
Ma Chao looked at Jia Xu.
At this time, Jia Xu still looked calm and relaxed.
Those cloudy eyes don't look like any deterrence.
It's time to eat, to drink, to sleep, and there is no sense of crisis around you.
"Mr. Jia, do you have any good ideas?"
Although Jia Xu looks like a rural old man, no one in the big tent dares to despise Jia Xu.
Ma Chao still remembers that Xu Yu looked like he wanted to eat people after seeing Jia Xu and learning that Jia Xu was planning for Ma Xu!
That's an absolute crush in strategy!
"Oh?"
Jia Xu raised his eyelids lazily, his tone was like an eighty-year-old man, and he was weak: "Good strategy, go back to Xiliang, you should eat, drink." "
"Just, that's it?"
Ma Chao was stunned!
After all, it is the Western Liang Jinmachao who will be sheltered in the future, and the other party is Xun Mu's righteous brother, and Jia Xu said more rarely: "The concerns of the wise are basically the same; The old man suggested that you return to Western Liang, and your righteous brother suggested that you not participate in the battle to destroy Yuan. "
"What else is there to worry about?"
"Instead of talking about these useless things, how about we talk about Xun Mu's marriage?"
"I heard that Meng Qi has a sister, who is healthy and heroic, have you ever thought of letting your righteous brother be your brother-in-law?"
Jia Xu's tone was ridiculous.
It stands to reason.
Ma Chao's sister is Xun Mu's sister.
But on the other hand, Jia Xu wanted to deliberately mention this incident.
Anyway, it is not a relative, and it is reasonable for the sister of the righteous brother to marry the righteous brother.
As for generation?
Who is the righteous brother and who is the brother-in-law?
Does it matter?
Unimportant!
Anyway, this doesn't do anything else!
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Ma Chao really thought seriously for a while, and said, "Yunlu is arrogant, it is estimated that a person like Brother Yi can see it!" But let my righteous brother be my brother-in-law, and I guess my father will beat me to death!" "
In a flash.
There was a laugh of ridicule in the big tent.
The wine feast is over.
Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Xun Mu's two bodyguards, Xu Niu and Zheng Hu, bid farewell to Ma Chao and the others, and followed the route that had been planned long ago, all the way to Jizhou.
And with Huang Zhong four people.
And the captured Jizhou strategist, Xu Yu!
Although Xu Yu was captured alive, this matter, Zhong Xiu and Cao Cao, did not know!
"Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci, don't think that you saved me Xu Yu, I Xu Yu will be grateful to you!"
"When I arrive in Jizhou, I will directly ask the Lord to leave you two thieves in Jizhou!"
"Going to prison, torture, and then killing will not give you any chance to respond!"
"My father-in-law, not Yuan Shu's idiot!"
Xu Yu cursed all the way.
Originally thought that he lost to Jia Xu, but after learning the identities of Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, Xu Yu understood.
It's not a joke at all!
This time, he lost to Xun Mu again!
Xun Mu was far away in Xuzhou, but he secretly took Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, and even married Ma Chao as brothers!
Who believes this?
Really when you Xun Mu is the 763rd master of the Mandate of Heaven, everyone in the world revolves around you Xun Mu!
Xu Yu was very unconvinced!
This is also the reason why Xu Yu did not kill himself!
Because, unwillingly!
If he was really defeated by Jia Xu, Xu Yu would be very begging for death.
But the reason for the failure was Xun Mu, who had been in Xuzhou!
This made Xu Yu only feel depressed!
Xun Mu sat in Xuzhou, but he was able to take Jia Xu, let Jia Xu plan for Ma Xu, and sent Huang Zhong and Tai Shici to assist Ma Chao in completing this shocking plan to kill Yan Liang!
Such a clever calculation made Xu Yu feel shocked, and at the same time he was unconvinced!
Xu Yu always felt.
Xun Mu is taking advantage of it!
It's just luck!
Otherwise.
How could this decisive victory be the same as Xun Mu expected?
These are just two adjectives, and it is impossible for anyone to really do these two things absolutely!
But Xun Mu really did it!
Xu Yu's resentment, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici were not angry.
After all, whoever is in Xu Yu's position will also be unwilling and unconvinced!
Especially Xu Yu, he is also a first-class strategist with a proud heart.
"Xu Ziyuan, don't you want to compete with Xun Junshi again?"
"Just lose like that, are you willing?"
Tai Shici smiled brightly and threw out conditions that Xu Yu couldn't refuse!
"Look! We can help you gain a foothold in Jizhou again. "
"And you also know on the face that I and Old General Huang are Xuzhou Mu's people."
"Know yourself and know your opponent, win a hundred battles."
"Are you still afraid?"
"Everything we do, but it's under your nose!"
Xu Yu was suddenly a little depressed.
This kind of radical method, if it was in the past, Xu Yu was completely disdainful.
But now.
Xu Yu was really excited!
Xun Mu almost told Xu Yu directly in person: "Look, Ming Qi, if you can't compare, don't compare, how about giving me Xun Mu a junior brother?" "
This made Xu Yu, who was already depressed, how could he endure it?
Long.
Xu Yu let out a long sigh: "Tai Shici, you guys won!" "
"But on what basis do you say that you have the ability to let me gain a foothold in Jizhou again?"
"This failure, many people in Jizhou will want me to die!"
Tai Shici smiled: "Yan Liang's deputy general, hasn't he already let go in advance?" "
"I remember, before Yan Liang died, he said that he should not listen to Xu Junshi's advice, and he should not chase after him!"
"With these words, Xu Ziyuan's life will be saved by half!"
"As for the other half."
Tai Shici smiled mysteriously, took out a trick and threw it to Xu Yu: "Xun Junshi asked me to give it to you, saying that if you still want to compete, you will definitely be interested!" "。
