Chapter 900 Wind
It snows heavily in Liaodong and the cold wind howls all day long in Hebei.
In Jicheng, Malong paid attention to every move in Liaodong.
Youzhou can mobilize 40,000 Muqi soldiers, plus the 10,000 elite Chinese troops at hand, so they are not at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.
Historically, Bald Tree's army of hundreds of thousands was defeated by his 3,000 men.
Of course tens of thousands of Xianbei people are not a problem.
As a feudal official, Ma Long naturally knew what the imperial court wanted, and he completed his efforts in one battle to completely eliminate the three Liaodong tribes and Goguryeo.
Therefore, the whole of Hebei has been accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity.
Many people think that Malone's backing is Wei Guan. In fact, only he knows that his backing is the emperor, otherwise the last impeachment wave would have drowned him.
Malone had little interest in infighting.
I have written to Wei Guan many times, reminding him to restrain his subordinates a little. In recent years, all the generals who have been surrendered have been under the banner of Wei Guan, so it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad.
Ma Long stared at the envoy, "Are you a scholar?"
Most of these Chinese troops come from Yongliang, Han, Qianghu, and Xianbei. Which one of them was not born in the world of ice and snow?
They were the first to equip the cotton-padded clothes and quilts sent by Daxing.
The black armor shows their domineering and toughness even more.
He has been fighting for many years, leading nearly 100,000 people at every turn, and his aura is as heavy as a giant. Once it breaks out, it is not something that a talkative scholar can resist.
The people and horses were silent, like stone statues.
"With today's situation, although the Governor and my family are rivals, they are also allies. If Liaodong does not exist, I am afraid that the Governor will not be able to control troops outside." The messenger's eyes dimly lit up.
This horse was personally gifted by the emperor, and this sword was also a reward from the emperor.
Furthermore, with the emperor's control over the army, if Ma Long raised his troops today, his heads would be sent to Daxing tomorrow.
"Oh? So what does your master have to say?" A smile appeared at the corner of Ma Long's mouth unconsciously.
Not long after, the Xianbei envoy came in and said straight to the point: "General Ma is so powerful that even though my lord is in Liaodong, many people have heard about him. It is often said that the heroes of the Central Plains should be the most powerful governor."
Not to mention that Ma Long was loyal to Da Qin, even if Ma Long had this intention, he would not have the courage.
"Go back and tell Murong She that when the weather warms up, he will lead a hundred thousand troops to sweep across Liaodong. Let him do it for himself, and you can do it for yourself!" Ma Long naturally would not be as knowledgeable as a messenger.
Each cavalryman has four horses, one to carry grain and grass, one to carry things to keep out the cold, and the remaining two are war horses.
However, with Wei Guan's current status, many things can no longer be done independently.
Ma Long couldn't help but applaud the Xianbei people's imagination, "How wonderful!"
Ma Long smiled and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it clearly."
"Captain, Murong She's envoy has arrived!" the guard reported outside the door.
Ma Long was riding a war horse, carrying a long sword, and walking among the cavalry.
"There is absolutely no such thing..."
As long as you enter Liaodong, all the forts are supply areas for the Qin army.
"How do we each get what we need?" Malone asked knowingly.
Murong Shegui thought that the Qin army would not send troops in late autumn, and even the court thought that this war would last for several more years, but Ma Long decided to do the opposite!
Ma Long always faced difficulties when using his troops.
These are the elites of the Great Qin Empire, and this is where the confidence of the Great Qin lies.
In the city, ten thousand cavalrymen were on horseback, standing in the cold wind. Everyone's eyes were full of the desire to make achievements.
"The Governor has agreed?" The messenger's face was full of expectation.
After retreating ten thousand steps, even if someone follows Ma Long in rebellion, Zhang Te from Yecheng and Meng Guan from Taiyuan are behind them.
"The art of the emperor..." Ma Long sighed after reading the letter.
The soldiers burst into violent shouts.
"More than twenty years ago, General Guanqiu Jian swept through Liaodong with more than ten thousand cavalry, defeated Goguryeo, massacred its capital, and opened up three thousand miles of territory for China. He carved stones and returned with meritorious service. Now we happen to be ten thousand people. You guys can Do you dare to go to Liaodong with me to make contributions?" Ma Long raised his arms and shouted.
Sima Yi's success was due, on the one hand, to the man's greatness, and on the other hand, to the fact that Cao Wei's system was full of loopholes.
"Don't you hear that the cunning rabbit died and was cooked by the lackeys, and the birds were all hidden? The emperors of the Qin Dynasty were of many types, and you should learn from them! My master is willing to become brothers with the governor, help each other, and each get what he needs." Every word of the messenger was extremely inspiring.
"My ancestors moved to Liaodong, where they have been farming and studying for three generations," the envoy said proudly.
The envoy was stunned for a moment, then trembled and said: "Commander...the two armies are fighting, Bu Zhan is coming..."
The envoy heard Ma Long's sarcasm to some extent, but at this time he could only pretend to be brave, hoping to impress him, "If the governor is willing, we can enter Liaodong when the weather warms up next year, and we can destroy Goguryeo together, and then our army will pretend to be defeated. His majesty, the emperor, is so happy that his great achievements and great achievements in destroying the country are enough to satisfy the Qin Dynasty and the people. The governor can also answer to the emperor, and Xianbei can also rely on the power of the governor to survive. It is the best of both worlds. I wonder what the governor wants?"
Cao Wei had to use Sima Yi, but Da Qin did not only have one Ma Long.
"Since you are a farmer and a scholar, you should know etiquette, justice and integrity!" Ma Long's usually gentle face suddenly turned stern.
"You have put some thought into it."
The messenger retreated hastily.
Although there are factional disputes in Da Qin, they have not reached the point of life and death.
After sighing, I quickly felt relieved. For such a big country and so many forces, without the emperor's skills, the Qin Dynasty would have fallen apart long ago.
Ma Long waved his hand and his voice suddenly stopped, "I heard that it is bitterly cold in Liaodong, are you afraid?"
An hour later, more than a dozen generals came in and said in unison: "Commander, everything is ready!"
Such a clumsy alienation plan is too embarrassing to come to the door.
The emperor's arrangements were watertight.
Another burst of huge laughter broke out from the crowd.
"It's not that someone is greedy for power, but the situation dictates that even if someone succeeds and retires, Your Majesty will support another person. There is no need to worry about filial piety. Your Majesty has his own strategy..."
Unexpectedly, Ma Long's expression changed, "The three Xianbei tribes had an alliance with Goguryeo in the past, but they abandoned it today. How can you make this governor believe it? Or are you just tricking someone into entering Liaodong and then ambushed him?"
"May, wish, wish!"
"pass."
Soldiers use deceitful tactics to catch people unawares and attack them unprepared.
The grain and grass were all eaten up and the packhorses were eaten.
The envoy cupped his hands and said: "The Governor occupies a beautiful place in Youzhou, and his hard work has made great achievements. However, the Qin court has a lot of rumors and impeachment memorials. From what I can see below, the Governor seems to have many internal enemies?"
Malone lifted his cloak and walked out with his head held high, followed by the generals.
With a "clang" sound, Ma Long pulled out the long sword from his waist. Although he was no longer young, the blood in his chest was still boiling, "My sons, today is the day to make great achievements!"
"kill!"
A roar shot straight into the sky, alarming Xianbei Xizuo in the city.
Then the war horse started to move slowly and galloped eastward in the cold wind, kicking up a huge cloud of smoke and dust.
Chapter completed!
