"It's not surprising that Lu Xun defeated Lai Gong, Wu Ju and others!" Regarding this news, Liu Cong was not surprised at all. He had thought of it after learning that Jiangdong had sent troops. Lu Xun's talent had greatly defeated Liu Bei in history. What did Wu Ju, Lai Gong and others count?
"My lord, the key is that His Majesty's decrees are quite profound!"
"Imperial decree?"
"It seems not surprising that His Majesty appointed Bu Zhao as the governor of Jiaozhou and Liu Bei as the prefect of Hanzhong, but he also appointed Huang Zhong as the prefect of Cangwu!" Fazheng continued.
"What? Promoted Han to Cangwu Prefecture?" Liu Cong was surprised when he heard this, and felt a little funny, "This Cao Mengde can't see peace in the world! There are also eight counties in Jiaozhou, and he doesn't even have the prefecture of Jiaozhi. He was not granted a title, but he was granted the title of Grand Administrator of Cangwu!"
Although it is His Majesty¡¯s imperial edict, everyone knows that these contents are Cao Cao¡¯s meaning.
Jiaozhi is the administrative seat of Jiaozhou and the most prosperous county in Jiaozhou.
"My lord, this is Cao Cao's plan to divert trouble to the east!" Pang Tong said calmly, "Cangwu is not far from Wuling County, and the former prefect Wu Ju was a general in Jingzhou. The purpose of making General Huang Zhong the prefect of Cangwu is to provoke us Conflict with Jiangdong, so that he can reap the benefits."
Liu Cong nodded, he naturally understood this truth. Sun Quan captured Jiaozhou. Although Cao Cao was very dissatisfied, he was beyond his reach. However, he did not want Sun Quan to be so peaceful, so he named Huang Zhong the governor of Cangwu.
If Huang Zhong takes office, Jingzhou and Jiangdong will inevitably meet at war. But if Huang Zhong does not resign, then Cao Cao can go against His Majesty's will and come to Jingzhou to make demands, or to punish him. This is taking advantage of the emperor.
"Shi Yuan, filial piety and uprightness, if Huang Zhong wants to take office, are the conditions ripe?"
"Lord, Jiangdong has 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou, but there are eight counties in Jiaozhou. Although Wu Ju and Lai Gong died, the brothers of the Shi family are still there. The Shi family is strong, so soldiers are needed everywhere. So, every place needs soldiers. First, the number of soldiers and horses guarding Cangwu will not exceed five thousand. Deng Ai's Feitian camp has 20,000 soldiers and horses. If they attack Cangwu, there is a 60% chance of victory. But"
"Just what?"
"It's just that Wuxi Man Samoko won't lend us a way, and we and Jiangdong are also allies!"
Liu Cong¡¯s status as a clan member of the Han clan was of great help to him, but it also had some constraints. For example, others can ignore the emperor's orders, but he has to make some show of it.
"Shi Yuan, Xiao Zhi, sent an order to Deng Ai to step up the training of soldiers and attack the Wuxi barbarians in the spring next year." Liu Cong thought for a moment and immediately gave the order.
The reason why Sun Quan was allowed to take Jiaozhou first was because of the Wuxi Barbarians. Otherwise, how could Liu Cong miss such an opportunity?
And Liu Cong knew Jiaozhou better than anyone else. It was definitely not a barbaric land. In the future, troops could be sent both along the coast and overland to conquer Southeast Asia, South Asia and even West Asia.
"Promise!" Since Liu Cong has already decided, Pang Tong and Fazheng will naturally not object. And with Jingzhou's current strength, it can be said that it is easy to conquer the Wuxi Barbarians.
"My lord, in addition to this, there is another news. Your Majesty has appointed Ma Teng as Dahonglu, Ma Chao as the captain of Changshui, and Ma Tie as the captain of Shesheng. They will enter Yecheng to take up their posts today."
"Ma Teng is going to Yecheng?" Liu Cong frowned and started thinking.
Ma Teng of Xiliang in history can be regarded as a hero. He was originally a rebel, but he was able to seize the opportunity and transformed himself into a major prince in Xiliang. He joined forces with Han Sui and brought all eight princes, including Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, and Ma Wan, under his command.
It¡¯s just that his death was a pity. Of course, it was because of Ma Chao¡¯s rebellion, and because he had participated in the Yidai Edict. There was also another reason, that is, the three horses were in the same situation!
When he thought about the three horses in the same tank, Liu Cong felt that Ma Teng was about to repeat the mistakes of history. If that is the case, once Ma Teng dies, Ma Chao and Han Sui will inevitably split, and Cao Cao will take the opportunity to seize Xiliang. And if he wanted to get his hands on Xiliang, even if he sent troops from Nanyang to capture Luoyang, it would be difficult to cross Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass.
"No, I have to try to stop it!" Liu Cong thought to himself.
"Shiyuan, Xiaozhi, you two should be prepared when you go down. The terrain of Wuxi is complicated, but Ma Jichang is familiar with it, so let Deng Aiduo go and understand it!"
"No!" The two of them saluted Liu Cong, "I'm resigning!"
After Pang Tong and Fazheng left the study, Liu Cong immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, asking someone to call Ma Zhong and asking the soldiers from Tianwang Camp to hand it over to Ma Teng.
¡°That¡¯s all Liu Cong can do, can he stop it?¡± Can it be changed?Ma Teng's fate can only depend on his luck.
Chen Cang.
After Ma Chao's defeat, the Ma-Korean coalition also dispersed. Han Sui, Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing led their troops back to Jincheng. Ma Teng asked Ma Chao to guard Chencang, Ma Dai to guard Sanguan, Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu to guard Wuguan, and he was ready to return to Tianshui.
But at this moment, he received the imperial decree and immediately summoned his sons and Jiang Juan to discuss the matter.
"Everyone, we have seen the imperial edict, how should we respond?" Ma Teng asked.
"Uncle, this is Cao Cao's plan. He wants to trick his uncle into going to Yecheng and harm him. This imperial edict must not be accepted." Ma Dai said immediately.
The emperor¡¯s imperial edict is what Cao Cao meant. They had just fought a battle with Cao Cao, but they were granted an official position. How could this not make people suspicious?
"Bo Zhan is right, you can't go to Yecheng!" Ma Chao also objected.
Even if there was no conflict with Cao Cao, he would not go to Yecheng to be an official. His wish is to lead troops in war and gallop on the battlefield.
"What do you think of Zhong Yi?" Ma Teng asked Jiang Juan's opinion without commenting.
"My lord, Cao Cao suddenly summoned my lord to Yecheng. His subordinates thought there must be a conspiracy!"
Several people had the same opinion, and Ma Teng frowned after hearing this. After a while, he suddenly said: "I want to go to Yecheng to take your Majesty's orders!"
"Father¡¡"
"Uncle"
"Listen to what I have to say!" Ma Teng stopped everyone, "Our Ma family is the successor of General Fubo Ma Yuan. My incompetence, Ma Teng, has caused the decline of the family. Now the army is ruthless and has long ignored life and death. What I worry about is that I will go under Jiuquan and have no face to see my ancestors. Now the imperial court has appointed me as Da Honglu, ranking among the three princes. Therefore, even if Yecheng is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I will go! I will take Ma Xiu and Ma Tie went forward, and his troops were led by Meng Qi, assisted by Bo Zhan and Zhong Yi."
"Father, what if Cao Cao uses his father to threaten his children to hand over military power, Chencang, Tianshui, Longxi and other places?" Ma Chao asked.
"You must remember that you cannot hand over military power at any time!" Ma Teng's attitude was resolute, "Cao Cao does not dare to do anything to me when there are soldiers and horses, because I came to Beijing on orders!"
