Chapter 470 Ma Teng messenger
I had a rare night rest in Shan County, with hot bath water, a bed that was not soft but comfortable to sleep, and a dinner that was quite rich and better than dry food. The next day, the group looked very good.
"Who is the prefect of Hongnong?" Liu Tao had to ask questions on the way to Hongnong County.
"Wang Hong is a son of the Wang family in Taiyuan." The others were not sure, but Xun You knew it, so he stepped forward and replied.
"Where is Wang Yun in Taiyuan...Where is Wang Yun at present?" When talking about Wang Yun in Taiyuan, Liu Tao thought of Wang Yun at the first time.
Of course, there are two more famous Taiyuan Wang family in my memory, one is the General of the Cavalry during the Cao Wei period and Wang Chang; the other is Wang Yun's nephew, Wang Ling, who served as the Grand Marshal in Cao Wei.
Wang Yun didn't like it, but he didn't mind taking these two people under his command in advance. Just considering their class position, it was estimated that it would be difficult to recruit two people, and at most one could only recruit one of them.
"When the Shangshu Ling Wang Yun..." Xun You thought for a while, "It seems that he has returned to Taiyuan and has not defected to anyone."
"Haha, wouldn't it be like I'm going to join me when I go back to Taiyuan?" Liu Tao laughed, "Forget it, when I go back, when I pass by Taiyuan, I'll visit it myself."
He then looked forward and continued, "Since Wang Hong is also a son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he should not surrender to Dong Zhuo. After all, anyone can see that the sun has already set in the west, so there is no need to bury them with him."
Sure enough, he arrived at the city of Hongnong and reported his name. Hongnong Prefect Wang Hong personally opened the city to greet him soon.
He had to comfort him and at the same time he refused Wang Hong's invitation to enter the city to rest, but he did not refuse the dry food he provided. It is only noon now, and before the evening, you can reach Huxian, where you will be next stop, and there is no need to delay a day here.
If it is more extreme, hurry up and arrive at Huayin County at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening. Then it will be Zheng County of Jingzhao Yin. But Liu Tao felt that there was no need to hurry up so much, just about the same thing.
"Are you planning to completely solve Dong Zhuo's remnants this time?" Wang Hong was a little dizzy after knowing Liu Tao's plan. Sizhou is a state, but there are many counties under his jurisdiction. Not to mention, Dong Zhuo actually controls Liangzhou.
I thought Liu Tao had just captured Hongnong County, so I stopped in front of Tongguan. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be planning to go west!
"I will feel uneasy if I don't destroy the entire Dong Zhe clan!" Liu Tao said with a smile.
You can't be in a hurry to fight Fengyi on the left and Fufeng on the right, or Liangzhou on the left and the other ones, after all, Dong Zhuo's influence is not that great.
The main thing is to defeat Chang'an, so the remaining small warlords don't care whether they care. Leave them to Cao Cao, Guan Yu, or even Ma Teng to solve them slowly.
"The general is very righteous, but the subordinates are ashamed of being inferior to him." Wang Hong was not willing to comment when he heard this, so he could only flatter him.
"The Wang family in Taiyuan is famous for their loyalty and wiseness." Liu Tao looked at Wang Hong, "You should manage Hongnong well and don't let me down. As long as you have enough talents, I will also have enough official positions to enthrone you."
"The officials understand!" Wang Hong was very happy. It was not the official position, but Liu Tao's evaluation of "Wang's family is famous for its loyalty and wiseness." With this evaluation, then the Wang family in Taiyuan was destined to be under Liu Tao's command and would not be too bad.
"My lord should reuse the Wang family in Taiyuan?" On the way away, Guo Jiawu had to ask curiously. According to his understanding of Liu Tao, this person did not attach much importance to the aristocratic family.
"You can't really push all the aristocratic families in the world to the opposite of me." Liu Tao joked.
After all, it is up to him to buy horse bones with a daughter. He has the final say whether to reuse the Wang family. The Wang family in Taiyuan may be famous for their loyalty and wiseness, but there is no regulation, so he must reuse it!
Guo Jia also smiled when he heard this. According to his understanding of Liu Tao, he obviously guessed some of his thoughts. However, except for Chen Gong, whether it was Xin Pi or Xun You, they all came from a noble family in Yingchuan, so it was difficult to express anything.
I went west and stopped and stopped. As expected, the county towns I encountered did not resist and most of them surrendered directly. The county magistrates were very polite, but it was hard to say what happened after Liu Tao left.
Anyway, the matters of local counties are left to the county magistrates, and the local county magistrates are left to Cao Cao. Since they are not close friends, it may be difficult for Cao Cao to manage them, but if it is not difficult, Liu Tao would not leave this place to him for management.
"Lord, Ma Teng's envoy has arrived!" When he was about to arrive in Chang'an, a cavalry came over from afar. After finding out the other party's identity, Yang Sho came back to report.
To be honest, when they rushed to the road at full speed, the spy could not play any role, so they simply did not send it out. Liu Tao also relied on his magic to come all the way.
At most, a scroll of Fenglong Insight was placed above Chang'an, and the radius of fifty miles was included in the scope of investigation. To achieve this, it was basically stable.
"Meet the general!" Ma Teng's soldiers came to Liu Tao and dismounted and saluted.
"Well, get up!" Liu Tao nodded. There was no need to be so polite to the ordinary soldier's words. "Where has your general been fighting now? What are you talking about?"
"Report to the general!" the soldiers replied, "General Ma has already captured Longxi County and is gathering up local officials. What he wants is the general. As long as Longxi County is settled, he will continue to attack Hanyang and Wudu counties, and then there will be Anding and Beidi County."
"There is no need to be so urgent for Wu. First, the two counties of Anding and Beidi are defeated to ensure smooth business roads!" Liu Tao reminded that Beidi County connects Shangjun. Although it is also the territory of the Huns, now that Liu Tao wants to take that road, the Huns dare not not give way. They will even come forward to restrain the tribes and let them be more peaceful.
At the same time, because of this trade route, the Southern Xiongnu actually made a lot of money. Many goods that could not be bought before can be sold now. Goods that could not be sold before, such as cashmere, can now be sold at a good price.
Even Liu Tao plans to purchase some grain in Xihe County in the future. After all, the Hetao area will definitely become a relatively important grain production area in Bingzhou in the future. If possible, it is best to take it back.
"After going back, the villain will definitely report to the general." The young master replied, paused, and continued, "General Ma asked the villain to ask whether he would further attack Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng and other places. At the same time, he also hoped that the general could send some civil servants to help him manage the place."
"Well, go back and tell him that I will appoint him as General Anxi and take charge of Liangzhou. The governor of Liangzhou will be appointed later. The governor is responsible for governance and he is responsible for commanding troops." Liu Tao replied.
The soldiers were a little confused when they heard this. According to this meaning, Liu Tao obviously did not intend to let Ma Teng take over the military and political power of Liangzhou. But this was not something he could control, so he could only say that he would report it to Ma Teng.
As for how Ma Teng reacts, whether to comply or simply occupy the independence of Liangzhou, that is not something he can interfere.
