Almost every day there is good news from Chencang. How many Qiang tribes were wiped out today and how many people were captured.
But today, the messenger delivering the good news was obviously very excited, and he rode into Chang'an.
"Good news from Chencang, Xiliang Ma Teng led his troops to surrender, and candidate Li Kan and other bandits were all beheaded, and their heads were built as a palace in Chencang." The messenger rushed to Wang Ding and handed Zhang Liao's battle report to Wang Ding. p>
What Zhang Liao wrote in the battle report was more detailed than what the messenger said.
Wang Ding and Jia Xu had already met Ma Teng a few days ago, so they were not surprised.
However, Ma Teng actually killed the other Qiang tribe leaders, which was beyond Wang Ding's expectation.
When he thought about it, Ma Teng probably followed his original trajectory. Even if he surrendered, he would just bring his family to Chang'an.
But he never expected that Ma Teng would give him such a big gift after surrendering.
Not only did they kill the candidate Li Kan and others, but they also brought 10,000 elite soldiers with them to surrender.
Wang Ding smiled and said: "It seems that Ma Teng has really given up on Liangzhou."
Sima Lang said: "Congratulations, lord."
Wang Ding put down the battle report and said, "Is there any reply from Lu Bu?"
Sima Lang shook his head: "Not yet, Lu Bu is still outside the Great Wall."
The original letter has been delivered to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu seems to have no intention of attacking Yanzhou. He is obsessed with fighting the Huns.
Cao Cao was already attacking Xuzhou, and Huang Wan also sent messages to Chang'an many times, asking Wang Ding to take action and attack Cao Cao from behind.
For more than half a month, Wang Ding has been stalling and taking no action. He just asked someone to reply to Huang Wan, telling him not to worry. Once he handles the matter in Liangzhou, he will immediately send troops to help.
Jia Xu said: "My lord, I am willing to go to Bingzhou in person to convince Lu Bu."
Wang Ding said: "Is there any danger?"
Lu Bu is really difficult to predict using common sense.
To say he is simple, he is very simple, but he is so simple that he always does things that ordinary people do not understand and would not do.
So any strange things Lu Bu does are actually normal.
One moment, they may be drinking and eating meat together, and the next moment, they may draw swords against each other because of a word.
Wang Ding was deeply touched.
When he went to see Lu Bu, if he hadn't convinced Lu Bu, he might have died under Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji that day.
Even if he revealed that he was Wang Yun's son and really angered Lu Bu, the other party would not care about his identity. Even if he was the prince, Lu Bu would still kill him.
Jia Xu said: "Lord, don't worry, I am just persuading and will not anger Lu Bu."
Wang Ding thought for a while and found that he could convince Lu Bu, so Jia Xu was no problem and said, "I will ask Zhang Tieniu to escort you."
After Zhang Tieniu became Wang Ding's guard, his training became more intense and his progress became faster.
Now his strength has surpassed other guards, and he is the first among Wang Ding's five hundred guards.
If it were a one-on-one fight, even Lu Hao would not be Zhang Tieniu's opponent.
However, in terms of riding skills and crossbow skills, Zhang Tieniu is still not as good as Lu Hao and the others.
Riding and crossbow skills are not only a matter of talent, but also require long-term training.
With his divine power, Zhang Tieniu can quickly master swords and guns, but in riding and archery, Zhang Tieniu does not have much talent, and is about the same as ordinary people.
Jia Xu did not refuse, but bowed and said: "Thank you, Lord."
This month, Cao Cao has conquered more than a dozen cities in Xuzhou, leaving Liu Bei trapped in Xiapi.
Fortunately, Tao Qian, who passed away, left them an elite army.
Otherwise, Xuzhou would have been captured by Cao Cao long ago.
Compared with Cao Cao, who had been working hard for many years, Tao Qian, the previous owner of Xuzhou, had long lost his ambitions. Xuzhou has been relatively stable in recent years. Except for the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, there have not been many wars, and Tao Qian did not recruit too many troops.
Wang Ding receives spy news from Yanzhou almost every day.
Now the people who are in charge of Yanzhou for Cao Cao are Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun had less than 10,000 troops.
Now Wang Ding only needs 30,000 troops to defeat Yanzhou.
Liangzhou has been stabilized, Liu Zhang in Yizhou has nothing to worry about, and Gao Shun is guarding Hanzhong. Even if Lu Bu doesn't take action this time, Wang Ding himself will have enough power to attack Yanzhou.
However, Wang Ding is still waiting for news from Jia Xu.
At the same time, they are also waiting for Zhang Liao to return to Chang'an with Ma Teng.
Five days later, Zhang Liao returned to Chang'an with his army.
Also accompanying him were Ma Teng and his family.
This was not Ma Teng’s first visit to Chang’an, and he had also seen the grand scene of Chang’an in the past.
But the three brothers, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu and Ma Ti, were all visiting Chang'an for the first time.
As soon as they entered Chang'an City, the three brothers couldn't take their eyes away.
Ma Chao has extraordinary strength, but he can't change it. He is just an eighteen-year-old boy now.
And I have been living in Liangzhou, so I have never seen the prosperity of Chang'an.
Compared with Chang'an, these counties and cities in Anding Tianshui and Longxi are less than one-tenth of Chang'an.
But compared to his younger brothers, who looked here and there, Ma Chao tried his best to keep his gaze straight.
He doesn't want people to think that he is a country bumpkin from Liangzhou.
"Brother Meng Qixian, you and I finally meet again."
Wang Ding hugged Ma Chao enthusiastically.
Ma Teng, as well as Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, looked at this scene in surprise.
They didn't know yet that Ma Chao had surrendered to Wang Ding before.
Ma Chao's face was very ugly when he was hit by Wang Ding. There was no joy on Wang Ding's face. He really didn't expect that when he saw Wang Ding again, he would be hugged by Wang Ding.
I wanted to struggle, but my body suddenly stiffened.
Wang Ding let go of Ma Chao, looked at Ma Teng, and said: "Your Majesty is very happy that the general can come to Chang'an. This time the general killed thirty-six bandit generals, which is a great achievement. Your Majesty's reward will come soon."
."
Ma Teng cupped his hands and said: "I don't think it's necessary to bother the generals of chariots and cavalry from now on. I think it's unnecessary to give rewards or anything like that. From now on, I will retire in Chang'an."
Wang Dingdao: "The general is only forty, and he still has a long future. In the future, I will still have many places where I need to rely on the general. I hope the general will not refuse in the future."
Ma Teng said: "If something happens to the chariot general, Ma Teng will never refuse."
Wang Ding took Ma Teng and his family to a mansion.
Also on Changming Street, it was left behind by the minister who was killed by Dong Zhuo. Later it was given to Niu Fu by Dong Zhuo, and now it was given to Ma Teng by Wang Ding.
Wang Ding also had someone replace the plaque at the entrance of the mansion with a new one.
There are four big characters in the letter - General Zhenxi, gilded with gold, with flying claws.
"General Zhenxi's Mansion, does the general still like it?" Wang Ding said with a smile.
Ma Teng said: "Thank you, General Chariot."
Wang Dingdao: "When the general is free, he should go to thank Cai and offer wine. This plaque was inscribed by him."
Ma Teng said: "Of course, I will visit Cai Jijiu later."
