Chapter 448 Jia Xu: Uncle Wants to Take Liangzhou? I Think I Need to Help
Chapter 448 Jia Xu: The emperor wants to take Liangzhou? I think I need to help.
"Don't go. If you go, you will be deceived. You will definitely fall into the scheme of the old thief Dong Zhuo!"
Ma Teng looked at his eldest son and said aloud, his face looking solemn.
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why do you say this is a strategy?"
He looked at Ma Teng and asked.
Ma Teng said: "Don't you think this is too coincidental?
The news was released just now that they were going to attack Liangzhou, but then rumors spread in Chang'an, and then Liu Cheng's military power was taken away.
You don't need me to tell you how important Liu Cheng is to the old thief Dong Zhuo.
Otherwise, the old thief would not marry his only legitimate granddaughter to the thief Liu Cheng.
As a result, now, just because of some rumors, Liu Cheng's military power has been withdrawn?
This is unreal no matter how you look at it.
No matter how you look at it, it's all a scam.
I hadn't thought clearly about the old thief Dong Zhuo's plan before, but now that I saw your reaction, I suddenly figured it out.
The old thief Dong Zhuo just wants to use this method to lure us out of Liangzhou, and then beat us!
The topography of Liangzhou still makes Dong Zhuo a little worried.
You must not fall for the evil trick of the old thief Dong Zhuo!"
Hearing his father say this, Ma Chao felt calmer.
Although he felt that his father was too cautious, he did not say it out loud.
Inside the room, it was a little quiet for a while.
"Uncle, my nephew feels that this is not necessarily a deception by Dong Zhuo's traitors."
At this moment, Ma Dai, who came in with Ma Chao, looked at Ma Teng and spoke.
"What do you think?"
Ma Teng looked at Ma Dai and said.
Ma Dai looked at Ma Teng and slowly uttered a few words: "His great achievements shocked the Lord."
Ma Teng and Ma Chao's expressions suddenly changed when they heard these words spoken by Ma Dai.
There are moments of enlightenment and reflection.
After a while, Ma Teng, whose expression kept changing, spoke: "If you say this, things can be explained clearly.
The unreasonable places have become reasonable.”
Ma Chao shook his head: "Those people in Chang'an are really dirty. Even Dong Zhuo can kill such a person.
In order to make people stop gossiping, I even married my direct granddaughter to Liu Cheng in advance."
Ma Teng couldn't help but smile when he heard his son's words.
When I was the age of my own son, my inner thoughts were very similar to those of my eldest son.
How contemptuous of these people.
It's just that as I grow older and experience more and more things, my thoughts change unconsciously.
He became the person he despised before.
Could it be that this person will become someone he hates later on?
"Since this matter is not Dong Zhuo's plan, then the opportunity we have been waiting for has arrived.
Father, I am asking for orders. I am the vanguard to conquer Chang'an!
Eliminate thieves for the country!"
After Ma Chao finished scolding the people of Chang'an, he immediately asked Ma Teng for orders, hoping to continue sending troops to attack Chang'an.
When Ma Teng heard this, he slowly shook his head and said: "This matter is not urgent, it needs to be discussed in the long term.
In Chang'an, although Liu Cheng's military power was gone, he still had no shortage of soldiers, horses, food and grass, and his strength was still strong.
There was even more Niu Fu's army guarding the key road to Aotou Mountain.
At this time, it is still not possible to completely determine the real reason and purpose of Dong Zhuo's taking away Liu Cheng's military power, so the matter cannot be panicked."
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but worry: "Before Liu Cheng led troops to attack Yizhou, you also said that you should not panic and that you need to think about it in a long-term way. As a result, we are finally ready to send troops here, and news of Liu Cheng's victory in Yizhou has been reported over there.
Now that we have a rare opportunity, you still say you have to wait.
Grandpa, the fighter plane is fleeting.
If we wait any longer, our only chance to make a comeback will be lost!"
Ma Teng still shook his head: "You are still young, you have never been in trouble, and you don't know that people's hearts are sinister.
This battle is different from the previous battles between us and the Qiang and Di people.
Even if we really failed before, we still have a chance to make a comeback without breaking our bones.
But this time, it really didn't work.
This time our lives and fortunes are at stake.
If you really fail, it won't just be as simple as breaking your muscles and bones.
It is very likely that even the lives of our father and son will not be saved.
It has to be absolutely foolproof!”
After a pause, Ma Teng continued: "It is the severe winter at this time, the weather is cold, the ice and snow are covering it, and the road is difficult to travel.
Marching in such a season, not to mention other things, is extremely difficult to withstand the wind, snow and severe cold, and will cause huge casualties.
We don't have much elite soldiers in our hands.
Those non-elite soldiers, as well as the Qiang and Di tribes, will become more unorganized..."
Of course, what Ma Teng said are indeed objective conditions.
However, the biggest reason is that I still feel that Dong Zhuo's thoughts are not fully understood, and I feel that Dong Zhuo's behavior is a bit unclear...
…
"Father is really too cautious. The older he gets, the less courage he loses. He is frightened by the names of Dong Zhuo, Liu Cheng and others.
I always feel that everything they do is full of profound meaning..."
After leaving Ma Teng's place, Ma Chao complained about his father to his cousin Ma Dai.
Ma Dai said: "It's not surprising that my uncle has such thoughts. After all, this time's matter is different from the past and is too important.
It cannot be treated with caution.
If we really fall into the trap of Dong Zhuo, the old thief, our side will be in danger."
Ma Chao thrust out the gun in his hand and shook his hand, and three gun flowers suddenly appeared.
A few falling snowflakes were smashed into pieces.
"I know what my father is thinking, but I just feel that it is too aggrieved to act like this now.
It's better to fight it out and have fun.
As long as we fight out this time and deal with Dong Zhuo and others ruthlessly, we won't have to live in fear like we do now."
Ma Chao put away his gun, looked at the white eyes in front of him, and spoke his thoughts.
Although the young man has not been crowned, he is already as sharp and as heroic as the spear in his hand...
The same news was obtained from Han Sui.
He made the same choice as Ma Teng, which was not to send troops hastily and to be cautious.
And they communicated with Ma Teng and turned it into a consensus between both parties.
"Waiting for the winter to pass, and for the spring to come and the flowers to bloom.
The time is too short, and it is difficult to tell whether many things are true or false.
You need to wait for a while and take a closer look.
It happens to be winter now, the weather is cold and it is difficult to mobilize troops..."
No matter what the people in Liangzhou thought, Liangzhou at this time had already been mobilized because of the attitude Dong Zhuo had released before.
He seemed nervously preparing, staring in the direction of Chang'an, hoping to get some useful information from the disturbances there...
…
Here in Feng Yi County, after several months of repairs, Longshou Canal has been completely built.
In addition to the main roads, a series of secondary roads and many small canals have also been built.
Looking down from a high altitude, water channels of various sizes are like spider webs, covering a large area.
Hundreds of thousands of hectares of land were covered.
This is not a water canal at all, this is a lifeline, a line of wealth, and a line of food security!
From now on, as long as the water canals are not damaged, these hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland will be able to maintain harvests even if they encounter a severe drought.
At this time, it was the severe winter period, the weather was so cold that many parts of the Yellow River froze.
The surface of the main canal of Longshou Canal is also covered with a thick layer of ice.
However, it did not reach the bottom, and there was still water flowing underneath.
However, some of the shallower branch canals were almost completely frozen.
There were children running and sliding on the water channel that was covered with a thick layer of ice. They were very happy.
Even if he falls down if he is not careful, he still has a great time playing, as if he doesn't know the pain.
Sometimes, some people can find some surprises in the ditch.
Under the ice, there will be some fish swimming in from the river, trapped at the bottom by the thick ice...
However, these children generally do not have a lot of fun, and adults often call them back and prevent them from playing here.
It's not that they are afraid that they will be in danger, but that the children will destroy the water channel that was finally repaired.
The water canal was not easy to come by, and many people participated in it and worked hard for it.
Moreover, in the future, the water canals can truly benefit them.
How do you keep them from getting distracted by this?
Even though they know that the damage that children may cause to the water channel by playing here is minimal, they still don't want the children to play here for a long time.
I want to avoid any damage at all.
After the canal was built and the entire line was connected to water, the people of Feng Yi County were extremely happy.
Many people ran and cheered, shouted and jumped along with the water flowing along the canal.
That kind of joy cannot be described in words.
Even now, many people still come out from time to time to walk by the ditch and take a look.
Look at the canal, and then look at the wheat fields covered with heavy snow on both sides of the canal. Although my heart is chilled by the cold wind, my heart is soaring.
However, compared with before, these people's moods were somewhat heavy while being soaring.
Uncle Liu suffered unfair treatment because he allocated fields to them, fought against all opinions, provided money and food, and organized manpower to repair canals.
His military power was taken away and he was left idle!
How could such a good person be deprived of military power, and how could he be treated so unfairly?
Many people felt aggrieved in their hearts and felt aggrieved on behalf of the emperor's uncle.
This is so bullying.
If their lives were not stable now, and they were worried that acting randomly would bring greater disaster to the emperor's uncle, many people wanted to go to Chang'an with sickles, hammers, hoes, etc. to ask Dong Taishi and others.
What is the situation, why do you treat Uncle Liu Huang like this...
"Uncle Huang...Uncle Huang, are you really okay?"
Here in Feng Yi County, there are several people standing on the edge of a canal.
The person who spoke was the stuttering young man Ma Jun.
One of the people standing next to him was Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.
At this time, Jia Wenhe became paler than when he was building the canal.
Not as dark and shiny as before.
This is mainly because after entering winter, the sun is not as harsh as before, and the canals are almost built, so we don't have to be exposed to wind and sun every day as before.
His position has also been promoted. After the successful construction of Longshou Canal, he has officially become the prefect of Feng Yi County.
This is the seventeenth time Ma Jun has asked Jia Xu.
Jia Xu had a gentle smile on her face, and she didn't feel impatient with Ma Jun's question.
On the one hand, it was because this matter involved the emperor's uncle, and on the other hand, he admired Ma Jun, the young man who was about to be crowned.
The young man, like him, had a bad background, but was extremely smart.
Especially in all kinds of tricks, he is particularly talented.
Not to mention other things, when it came to the construction of Longshou Canal, because of his many constructive suggestions, the construction of Longshou Canal was completed at least more than a month in advance.
Otherwise, after the severe winter comes, construction will no longer be possible. If you want to completely build the Longshou Canal, you will have to wait until next spring.
He valued Ma Jun very much.
Of course, the emperor's uncle also valued it very much.
Otherwise, the printing technology would not be handed over to Ma Jun to study.
Jia Xu is a smart man.
Although Ma Jun has not completely mastered printing until now, he has already thought of many things and some far-reaching considerations based on some of the things that printing can now display.
Although many of them don’t have a clear idea yet, they already have some awareness in their hearts...
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's just that you have been taken away from military power. There is nothing else.
Further harm will not occur.
If you are worried, study printing carefully and complete it as soon as possible. Then you can take these to Yushan to see the emperor.
The emperor's uncle will be very happy to see you mastering printing."
Jia Xu looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile, with some gentleness in his voice.
Ma Jun was overjoyed when he heard this: "I, I, this, this, go and get it!"
After that, he bowed his hands to Jia Xu and the other people who were following Jia Xu, and ran away in a hurry.
Looking at Ma Jun, who was flying away quickly and full of energy, the smile on Jia Xu's face became even brighter.
He is really becoming more and more optimistic about Ma Jun.
“…Drains cannot be repaired once they are repaired. If you want the drains to function in the future, you need to maintain them in the future. You must find problems in time and repair the drains in time.
The subordinates felt that the canals on the land of each village should be divided into various villages.
It’s not that the canal has become their private property, but the responsibility for repairing and protecting the canal has been assigned to them, allowing them to inspect it daily and repair it in a timely manner if they find problems.
Don't let small problems accumulate into big problems...
If a water channel somewhere is broken and has not been repaired for a long time, the person responsible will be held accountable.
If the canal is damaged where it flows from the junction of two villages or several villages, these villages will work together to contribute..."
Jia Xu nodded after hearing this: "This proposal is good and can be enacted.
Even if the water channel cannot be repaired, even if it is repaired, you can just lie there and enjoy the convenience brought by the water channel in the future. You need to pay attention to maintenance..."
After dealing with this matter, someone else made a suggestion: "We are here in Feng Yi County, and to the north is Shang County.
It was previously occupied by the Huns, and there are Huns activities, so we need to be prepared for the Huns to thresh the grass in winter."
Jia Xu nodded and said: "This does need to be guarded, but there is no need to worry. Dong Yue, the younger brother of the Taishi clan, has already been dispatched by the Taishi to lead troops and horses to guard the northern front line.
With them here, the Southern Huns, who had been in captivity for hundreds of years, did not have such courage.
Even if you are brave, you will be beaten to lose your courage.
Today is different from previous years.
The troops here in Guanzhong are really strong now, and the Huns will worry about us going to attack them...
But we have to be careful, there will be people who will deceive the Huns and do some unwise things at this time..."
After dealing with some things one after another, he was the only one left around Jia Xu.
He stood here, staring at the ditch in front of him, and then turned his gaze in the direction of Liangzhou.
With a smile on his face, he whispered in a low voice: "It's a big game of chess, but I don't know if Han Sui, Ma Teng and others will fall for it.
Just relying on these current methods, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
Han Sui's fellow is not very wise or well-organized, but he is more timid and cautious..."
As a Liangzhou native, Jia Xu naturally has feelings for Liangzhou. It is his hometown no matter what.
The Han Dynasty also had many things to do with Liangzhou. Compared with its rule over other places, Liangzhou, a place with a complex population, remoteness and trouble-prone places, used very rough methods.
Many times, the damage from big men will even exceed the damage from bandits and the like...
If someone else wanted to plot to take Liangzhou, after realizing this intention, Jia Xu would not just sit idly by and ignore it. He would help the people in Liangzhou do something.
Even if Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng start attacking Liangzhou as soon as they come to Guanzhong, the most that Jia Xu can do is to keep silent and not help each other.
I am worried that Liangzhou will suffer deeper harm.
But now, after becoming aware of Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng's intentions, Jia Xu not only had no worries, but was actually filled with joy.
I have been keeping an eye on the direction of things, and I am constantly thinking in my heart, wanting to see if I can contribute some efforts and play some role in this matter.
The reason for this is that through personal contact, he already has a lot of understanding of Liu Cheng.
Not to mention the rest, you can tell a lot just by comparing the lives of the people in Feng Yi County before and after.
Of course, another reason is that when the emperor's uncle met him in Feng Yi County before, he once said that he wanted the common people of the Han Dynasty to live a good life...
Jia Xu didn't believe it when others said this.
But when Uncle Liu Huang came out of his mouth, he really believed it.
After all, Uncle Liu Huang has used his actions to show the world that he has this ability and this intention.
Since Han Sui and Ma Teng cannot make Liangzhou better, let Uncle Liu Huang and others manage Liangzhou.
Liangzhou has suffered so many hardships, and now it’s time to live a better life...
Of course, in addition to these, the reason why Jia Xu has more confidence in Liu Cheng is that now Dong Zhuo and others are in Guanzhong, and the emperor is also in Guanzhong.
The capital is located in Chang'an.
Compared with Luoyang before, Chang'an is much closer to Liangzhou.
The closer the distance is, the less remote Liangzhou will appear.
Accordingly, some policies and methods used in Liangzhou in the past will no longer be applicable.
It can be said that Jia Xu, who was known as a poisonous person in history, had deep feelings for Liangzhou.
At least in the first few years, I had deep feelings and wanted to do something practical for Liangzhou...
…
Yushan.
In front of Liu Cheng, there were some glassware.
Most of these glassware are common styles in laboratories of later generations.
There are some different ones, but not many.
Hua Tuo looked at the glassware in front of him and was filled with shock.
Even he has never seen so many glassware at one time!
Not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality, those glassware shipped from very far away places are far inferior to the ones in front of me.
The glassware in front of me is completely transparent, without any impurities.
It is also very regular, extremely round, and overall smooth.
Clearer and more translucent than the best crystal.
Compared with the glassware in front of me, the glassware I had seen from wealthy merchants in the past could simply be thrown away.
The glass cup, which is three flat and four out of round, does not transmit light, but is blurry.
Before seeing these glasswares in front of him, Hua Tuo thought they were very valuable things, but now, after comparing them, he felt that they were just like that.
Thinking of the way the wealthy merchant treated the glass vessel extremely preciously, and what he told himself about how much money he spent to purchase such a thing, Hua Tuo had an idea of the value of the glass vessels in front of him.
A clearer understanding.
While shocked, I was also filled with admiration.
When he was in Yizhou, the emperor's uncle said that he had a way to get Liuli out, but he still didn't believe it.
After all, colored glaze has always been transported from distant places by merchants from the Western Regions. No one in the mainland can make it.
It’s not like no one saw the huge business opportunities contained in this. Many people once wanted to make such utensils.
However, it has never been successful!
As a result, now, the emperor's uncle has asked people to study it.
And the quality is far higher than the glassware shipped by Hu merchants from the Western Regions!
Hua Tuo was very dissatisfied with the Hu merchants in the Western Regions who made a lot of money from the Han Dynasty by relying on their glass products.
In his opinion, only big men can make money from them.
However, no matter how much dissatisfaction I had before, there was nothing I could do about it.
After all, the big man couldn't make colored glaze himself, so he could only be controlled by others.
But now, everything is different!
Now, he couldn't wait to see the Hu merchants who came from afar to transport the colored glaze vessels after the glass made by the emperor's uncle was widely sold in the Han Dynasty and wanted to make a fortune in the Han Dynasty.
's reaction.
That must be a very wonderful thing...
I have to say that our Great Physician Hua Tuo is not only superb in medical skills, but also has very warm blood in his heart...
