Chapter 889 Capital

The knight stood in front of the low tent, and his horse's head was even higher than the top of the tent.

The war horse sniffed and the heat squirted on Zhao Xuan's face.

Zhao Xuan looked at the cold eyes under the eaves of the knight's helmet, swallowed, and bowed and said, "I am Zhao Xuan, I'm not satisfied..."

The knight looked up and down at Zhao Xuan: "Mr. Liang is welcome!"

Zhao Xuan bowed slightly to the knight and said in a deep voice: "Abide by the order."

"Follow me!" The knight turned around and headed towards the Liang Gong's tent.

Zhao Xuan didn't dare to gallop in the camp like him, and trotted closely with his robe sleeves.

"Ziying!" Liu Yue called in a low voice from behind.

Zhao Xuan turned around and saw Liu Yue covering his mouth with one hand and waving the other hand, indicating to him repeatedly that he wanted to be cautious in his words and actions.

Only this time, the knight ahead went far.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly caught up.

Although Ma Chao's dome is made of Qiang people, it is wrapped in brocade and decorated very gorgeously.

There was a huge golden Hu bed in the middle of the tent. On the Hu bed, a general wearing armor sat with his legs spread apart. Zhao Xuan glanced at it and knelt down and bowed: "Gourmet to Mr. Liang!"

Ma Chao laughed and showed his white teeth: "You are Zhao Xuan? Hu Tai's disciple?"

Zhao Xuan did not dare to look at Ma Chao. He put his forehead close to the ground, and then a violent smell of blood was poured into his nose.

That must be Master Hu's blood.

But Zhao Xuan did not feel angry. The chaos in Liangzhou has not been a year or two. For hundreds of years, Qiang and Hu and Han people have massacred each other, and the ambitious Han people have swept each other with Qiang and Hu and the imperial army. Wherever they go, they slaughtered the people wantonly like mowing grass. For Liangzhou people, life is not as good as a dog, and death is nothing, let alone an old scholar?

Zhao Xuan looked at the felt blanket pattern with his eyes and said, "Yes. I have studied under Master Hu."

"I am missing a master's account. Hu Tai recommends you. Can you do it?"

Isn't it the Princess Hanyang? The next moment, Zhao Xuan realized that the Princess Han was not in the four counties under his jurisdiction, but he personally led the local area. Within the four counties, the government affairs of the Han family were under the jurisdiction of the officials from all over the country, while the Qiang and Hu tribes were unified by Ma Chao's deputy general Pang De. Therefore, the Princess Hanyang was called "my master record" by Ma Chao, which is really not wrong.

However, Master Hu is dead, Liang Gong, you still attach so much importance to his recommendation? As for whether you can be competent... If I say I can't, can I go back?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan shivered and replied, "I wish to serve Liang Gong."

At this time, another gentle voice said: "Ziying, get up and sit there. The pen and ink are all in front of the desk. If you need you, Liang Gong will call you."

This is Zhao Xuan's old boss, General Anxi joins the army, Jiang Xu is talking.

He is one of Ma Chao's highly valued staff officers. Since he spoke, Ma Chao nodded: "Go and sit!"

Zhao Xuan crawled and saluted again, then stepped to the seat in the corner of the tent, feeling that his vest was completely wet.

Only then did he have time to see the situation in the account.

I saw Ma Chao sitting high on Hu Bed, and there were several people on Hu Bed.

The first in the left hand was Pang De, a fierce general with an extremely thick figure, and then arranged several Qiang Di Qushangs in order. Among them, Zhao Xuan recognized Yang Qianwan and Dou Mao.

On the right hand are many Han officials, such as Chief Zhao Ang, Joining the Army Jiang Xu, Gongcao Jiang Jie and other famous scholars in Ji County are all among them.

Jiang Er was standing away from the seat, and was talking with Ma Chao before.

I don’t know what major matters are being discussed in the account today, nor do I know why Master Hu was involved in this answer, which made Ma Chao angry and was killed on the spot.

After Zhao Xuan sat down, Jiang Jie said: "Since the Han Dynasty declined and the Central Plains turmoil, the Han people in Liangzhou were abandoned by the imperial court. Over the past few decades, the Han people and Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou have gone from fighting with each other to scruples, and then supporting each other in this moment."

He bowed to Ma Chao: "This is due to the majesty of Liang Duke and the achievements of Liang Duke. It is precisely because Liang Duke is in charge that the people of Liangzhou can unite as one and fight against powerful enemies together."

"Hmph..." Ma Chao chuckled disdainfully, but the smugness in the laughter could not be suppressed.

"In this regard, Hu Tai is a confused man. He has been to Luoyang himself and has seen the contempt of the people of Guandong to Liangzhou, but he still regards the people of Guandong and Liangzhou as one, and instead regards the Qiang and Di tribes as outsiders. It is really not different from each other, and it is extremely pedantic. If such arguments spread locally, it will be detrimental to the unity of the Liangzhou Township Party, or we will be disorganized. It is just..."

Jiang Jie changed his words: "But, Hu Tai is a famous scholar in Liangzhou after all, and has many disciples and writes. If you kill such people, you will be killed, and there is no need to be humiliated. I plan to send someone to collect his body, and ask Liang Gong for permission."

Ma Chao waved his hand: "A old dog, how is it worth my humiliation? The burial is still something that comes afterwards, and you don't have to report it to me."

"yes."

"You continue to talk about Liu Bei."

"yes."

Jiang Jie paused and continued: "Over the past few years, the trade between our Liangzhou departments and Liu Bei's cattle, sheep and horses has been booming. The people of Yizhou used precious iron, silk, gold and silver to exchange our cattle, sheep and horses for our cattle, sheep and horses. Every year, I dare say that without Liangzhou, there would be no cavalry at all, and there would be no capital to confront Cao's army."

After all, Cao Cao, the King of Wei, united the Wuhuan, Bingzhou Xiongnu and other troops, and under his command, he had a thousand tiger cavalry, traversing the plains and no one could defeat him. If the people of Yizhou wanted to compete with the Cao family, they had to vigorously run their own cavalry team. The horses in Yizhou were short and could not stand the storm, so they depended heavily on Liangzhou war horses.

When he heard that he said this, Ma Chao couldn't help but look at the furnishings in his dome. The lacquerware wrapped in gold and silver and carved with gorgeous patterns, the silver pots filled with fine wine and the rich aroma of wine slowly overflowed, the pearls and gems inlaid, lifelike exquisite decorations, and silk satin hanging from the top of the dome to the ground, as if it was shining with light.

Ma Chao was not indulging in wealth and pleasure, but these things were indeed what the people of Yizhou have been scrambling to offer to him, Liang Gong for cattle, sheep and horses over the years. To be honest, Yizhou people are really sincere and waiting for them to offer their property is much more convenient than rushing around and looting back and forth.

"So, if Liu Bei intends to capture Hanyang, what can they get?" Jiang Jie said loudly: "They will be attacked by countless Qiang Di warriors in Wudu County; they will be massacred by the iron cavalry of the Liang Gong's troops in Hanyang County; they will lose the source of the war horses and can only fight on foot from then on; they will see Liang Gong and the King of Wei standing together and completely seal them to the south of the mountains!"

Jiang Jie looked around everyone and said, "If Liang Gong had the intention, he could even ignore Hanyang and directly use the territory of Baima Qiang to travel through Gansong, Dazhong, enter Guanghan vassal states, and enter Yizhou! By then, Yizhou was in war, and Liu Bei's foundation was about to fall... Everyone, do you think, why should Liu Bei do this? Why did Liu Bei take such a risk for a mere Hanyang county?"

Zhao Ang pondered: "What Zhong Yi said is not without reason. However, Liu Bei invaded Guanzhong three years ago, because of the poor material transportation, he could not gain a foothold. How could they know that they would not start from Liangzhou this time to avoid repeating the same mistake? Liang Gong, Liu Bei is powerful, we must be careful!"

Jiang Jie raised his voice: "You must be careful, but you don't have to fight so much!"

He turned around and saluted Ma Chao again: "Duke Liangzhou, why are we always war-torn in Liangzhou? Is it because the people of Liangzhou are born to be wild and bloodthirsty? Of course not! In fact, natural disasters are frequent, and the people of Liangzhou cannot survive. They can only rob, kill, and seize food from others. However, in the past three years, we have gained a lot of benefits from dealing with Yizhou, and the Qiang and Di tribes have gradually become rich... At this time, we are mobilizing and guarding, and I am worried..."

Jiang Jie took a few steps towards Ma Chao: "Liang Gong, the people of Yizhou think that we occupy a vast desert land, with no count of people and animals, and control hundreds of thousands of strings, so we fear us, and even be afraid of us. If we mobilize this time, we are not strong in morale, and this situation will be insulted by the people of Yizhou. If you order all departments to mobilize with all their strength, I am worried that the tribes in various places will be dissatisfied, and they will be resentful."

Ma Chao sneered twice: "I have seen many people who are oral but dissatisfied. As long as I kill them all, the rest will be convinced."

This was too ruthless, Jiang Jie bowed and did not answer.

After Ma Chao was a Liang Gong for several years, he was not as manic as before. He knew what Jiang Jie said, which was quite reasonable. Moreover, no matter how cruel he said, he knew that hundreds of thousands of Qianghu tribes were used to being loose, and hundreds of Qu generals from all over the world had their own thoughts and could not control the enemy by killing them.

He hesitated for a moment, looked at the many people in the tent, and said, "Jiang Xu, what do you think!"

Jiang Xu stood up and said in a deep voice: "Duke Liang, I have something to invite you."

Ma Chao frowned: "Speak just by saying something!"
