Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan arrive at the barracks, summon Huang Hu and shamoko, and then take the guards north.
Today's close guard forces have already expanded.
On this trip, Huang Hu took 3000 soldiers from Feihu camp, and shamoko also took 3000 barbarians. The soldiers of the flying tiger camp are all the best among the best. They are competent in horse fighting and foot fighting. The 3000 barbarians under shamoko's command were selected from the tribes of wuximan. They were all the best among the best.
After leaving Xiangyang, the army quickly entered Nanyang County.
All the way north, and finally stop in Chaoyang County.
Chaoyang County is the current seat of Nanyang County, whether Wei Yan or Zhang Ren, are stationed here.
Liu Xiu arrived with his troops, and Wei Yan and Zhang Ren met him personally.
When Zhang Ren met Liu Xiu, he bowed his hand and said, "I've met your highness, general Zhang Ren."
"Your Highness!"
Wei Yan also came forward to salute.
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "enter the city!"
The party entered the city and soon settled down.
The big account of the Chinese army.
Take your seat.
Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and asked, "Zhang Ren, how many soldiers are there in the Fifth Army now?"
Zhang Ren replied, "Your Highness, there are 40000 people in the Fifth Army. They are all the best among the best. I know that there will be a war sooner or later, so I am always ready. This army is worthy of a war. "
There will be a war between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao sooner or later.
Therefore, Zhang Ren has been preparing for war.
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "forty thousand elite, not bad."
Wei Yan said: "Your Highness, I have a request for humble position."
"What request?"
Liu Xiu asked.
Wei Yan replied: "this time we are at war with Cao Cao. I also want to participate in it. It's just that his humble position is the prefect of Nanyang County, and he has no time to separate himself. So I hope his highness can rearrange his position. "
Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "if you rearrange people, there will be trouble. After all, you have been in Nanyang County for such a long time. If you are familiar with the situation, you should arrange someone to replace you for the time being and deal with the daily affairs for you. Then, go north with me. "
"Thank you, your highness."
Wei Yan had a brilliant look in his eyes.
This time, Wei Yan knew that the war with Cao Cao was the last step to unify the world.
After defeating Cao Cao, Sun Quan was vulnerable.
So if you want to earn credit, you can count on this time. Liu Xiu asked Zhang Ren and Wei Yan to handle the matter well. The next morning, he led the army northward and headed for Xinye county.
……
Xiliang, Weiwu county.
Assassin's mansion!
Today's Ma Chao is more calm and dignified than the previous two years.
It's just that Ma Chao still has something on his mind.
Father's Revenge has not been avenged!
No matter how well Liangzhou develops, Ma Chao still dares not forget his parents' hatred.
In the study.
Ma Chao took the trouble to deal with government affairs, and approved the things one by one.
"Step on it! Step on it
A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside.
Yan Pu came in in a hurry, with a dignified expression on his face.
Ma Chao saw Yan Pu and said, "Sir, please sit down!"
In the past two years in Liangzhou, Yan Pu has been the assistant of everything, and Ma Chao has been used to the existence of Yan Pu. Without Yan Pu's help, Ma Chao could not have been in Liangzhou.
After sitting down, Yan Pu said, "my Lord, I just received the news from Xiangyang. His Highness has already issued an address against Cao Cao. "
"Really?"
Ma Chao was excited and looked excited.
Ma Chao asked, "is there any news about me?"
Yan Pu arched his hand and said, "congratulations to you, your highness. You are going to appoint you as the Deputy General of wenpin general to help him attack Jizhou. In this battle, the general can get what he wants and go straight to Cao Cao's hometown. "
"Good, good, good!"
There is a touch of excitement in Ma Chao's eyes.
Finally!
Ma Chao knew that Liu Xiu would attack Cao Cao sooner or later. He waited for two years, and finally he did.
Suddenly, Ma Chao asked, "after I left, where is Mr. Yan?"
Yan Pu said: "Your Highness appointed a humble position as the governor of Liangzhou and presided over the situation of Liangzhou."
Ma Chao nodded: "with you, I'm relieved."
More than two years ago, Yanpu's footprints have spread all over Liangzhou. In the first half of the year, Yanpu will stay in Weiwu county to deal with the government affairs, but in the second half of the year, Yanpu will walk in each county to understand the situation of each county and formulate development strategies for each county.
It can be said that most people know Yan Pu and are more convinced of him.
If Yan Pu takes over Liangzhou, there will be no problem.
All of a sudden, Yan Pu's face became more serious and said, "my Lord, when I leave, there are some words in my humble position. I don't know what to say."Ma Chao kept smiling and said, "between you and me, why do you have to be like this, just say it."
"Master Yan has been used to being the first commander in the garden. But I'm afraid I won't get used to it when I get under the command of general wenpin, so please be able to restrain your character and get used to the next situation. "
Ma Chao laughed and said, "don't worry, Mr. Yan. I will pay attention to this. I'm not very interested in power. The most important thing is to be able to avenge my father. "
Yan Pu said: "the second point of humble position is about revenge. Adults are eager to avenge their father. In many cases, they are easily blinded by revenge. After all, the onlookers see clearly, and those in charge are confused. Perhaps, adults think that there are different ways to March and fight. They can defeat Cao Cao and get revenge at the same time. "
"But general Wen's consideration may not be the same. His consideration may be based on a large-scale whole, ignoring the adult's desire for revenge."
"I want to say that I hope adults can guard against arrogance and impatience."
"I've been waiting so long. Do you still care about that?"
"More patience, more waiting, nothing."
Yan Pu said: "after all, Wen pin is the chief General of the army. Once the relationship between the adults and Wen pin gets stiff, it will be quite troublesome. Not only the general, but even the adult's sister will be affected. So before doing things, adults should consider not only the enmity of their parents, but also the situation of their sisters. "
Ma Chao was moved by this.
Yan Pu's words are the words of a mature man. They are all for him.
Ma Chao stood up, arched his hand and said, "I will remember your humble duty when you teach me."
Yan Pu said, "if you understand, please!" After a pause, Yanpu arched his hand and said, "here is my humble position. I wish you will go to wenpin general's command and win the battle
"Mr. Cheng is lucky."
Ma Chao smiles, and he is also looking forward to it.
It took Ma Chao a day to hand over everything to Yan Pu, and then he left Weiwu county and headed for Chang'an with Ma Dai and pound.
……
Liu Xuan issued an address, and the news of the army's dispatch soon spread to Xinye County in the north.
Cao Ren was stationed here, and XiahouDun came from Yecheng.
When Cao Ren got the news, he called XiahouDun together to discuss the countermeasures.
Cao Ren looked at Xia Houdun and said, "Yuan rang, Liu Xiu personally led the army to attack Xinye county. Now Xinye has made waves. This time, how do we deal with it? "
"That's it," said XiahouDun
XiahouDun still remembered that XiaHouYuan and xiahouba were killed in the past.
Although Xia Houyuan was not his brother, he was also inherited from him.
Now, it's just him.
It was conceivable that the anger in XiahouDun's heart.
Xia Houdun's face was cold, his eyes were solemn, and he continued: "this time, we must kill Liu Xiu. If you don't kill Liu Xiu, you will never stop. "
"Newspaper!"
Suddenly, a soldier came in.
After the soldiers entered, they reported: "general Cao, I just got news from Luoyang. The wenpin army stationed in Chang'an started to move towards Luoyang. "
"I see!"
Cao Ren waved his hand and asked the soldiers to step down.
Cao Ren looked at Xia Houdun and said, "Yuan rang, Liu Xiu's army is divided into two routes. All the way to Chang'an, all the way to Nanyang. It seems that Liu Xiu is going to go hand in hand and attack the king of Wei together. "
There was a strong sense of war in XiahouDun's eyes, and he said, "fight, who is afraid of who!"
For this battle, harhoughton had been looking forward to it for a long time.
