Chapter 477 I'm Back

Liu Tao felt a little passive, and felt that from the official attack on Chang'an, everything was led by Li Ru.

Even when he saw these generals surrender sincerely here, he even had a moment of planning to stop pursuing Dong Min and others' intentions.

No, if you want to chase after it now, you may not be able to catch up... After all, you are already walking and have been running for so long. Li Ru probably even calculated their physical energy consumption.

I remembered something, so I looked at Xu Rong and asked, "Xu Rong, I heard that you are lying outside, so where are the cavalry under your command?"

"The last general was indeed ordered to ambush outside, but there were not many cavalrymen. They just brought 300 war horses and 500 horses to wait here." Xu Rong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately explained.

So that's it, I prepared the horses here in advance. No wonder I could not see any traces of the movement of this team with Fenglong's insight. Calculate the time and at least one hour away, I had already left the exploration range.

After all, the entire Chang'an City has a radius of more than five miles, plus the distance of the secret passage and the movement of about one hour... Even if the turtle speed is fast, it should leave the exploration range, unless the scroll is used.

It was just that there was a battle, and the troops were exhausted, and the gap between the two sides was so far, it was not easy to catch up with it...

"Okay!" Liu Tao waved his hand, "I will spare their lives. As long as they are really willing to change their names and surnames, they will no longer live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and I will no longer pursue anything."

Then he looked at several generals and said, "As for you, since you are willing to surrender, I will naturally not be polite. Considering your position, you can only start with the army at most, do you have any objections?"

"I dare not!" The generals replied one after another, even the oldest Xu Rong had agreed to this result.

"Of course, you have also seen that if the situation changes dramatically today, there are many opportunities in front of you. How far you can go in the future depends on your ability!" Liu Tao immediately reminded, so that one or two would not let him live for retirement in the future.

"Here!" Everyone responded one after another, and it could be seen that everyone had a happy look on their faces.

Anyway, the result is not bad, right? Liu Tao sighed secretly. There was no requirement to kill Dong Min and Li Ru anyway. It was just that it would be better to solve the problem for the sake of safety.

Now six talents have been recruited, and this battle is not a loss. My own soldiers... probably have not been killed in battle, at most they were injured, and they will have to be treated a little after they go back.

Zhe returned to the outside of Chang'an City. To be honest, an army came towards the city gate, which made Guo Jia and others a little nervous. The Huns were about to clear the blockages in the main gate, but who knew that someone would come from behind.

After receiving the alarm, he immediately planned to return to the main gate and fight, but he saw Liu Tao and others coming back.

"Master, why do you appear here?" Guo Jia really couldn't figure it out, of course everyone couldn't figure it out.

However, when I saw Xu Rong and others behind the team, I had some thoughts in my mind, but I still wanted to hear what Liu Tao said.

"It's a long story..." Liu Tao had to explain briefly.

After learning about Li Ru's plan, several military advisors couldn't help but sigh: Li Ru is indeed good at calculating, but he is not on the scene, otherwise he should meet the other party well.

Although there is no first in literature, the competitive spirit of literati is not worse than that of warriors. When encountering excellent literati, they naturally want to know.

But things have reached this point, so it is hard to continue to worry about anything. They also believe that Liu Tao’s decision was correct, and he can’t catch up with them now, and it is hard to continue to pursue them. After conquering Chang'an, the war has actually ended.

"Speaking of this, Li Jue seemed to have followed them, and Guo Si was also accompanied by him?" Liu Tao suddenly remembered something.

"Indeed, I heard that the general did not forgive him, so I left alone. Guo Si had a good relationship with him and probably didn't want to retreat. He persuaded him and left with him." Hu Zhen stepped forward to explain.

"Even if they are not willing to be lonely, how can they turn over? Travel thousands of miles to Guanzhong to seek refuge with other princes? Or go north to Liangzhou to clean up Dong Zhuo's remnants, and then find a way to rise up? Otherwise, go and join Ma Teng?" Liu Tao sneered.

This thousand roads are far away, and the two of them have a bad reputation. If they go to join the princes of Guandong, they will probably not be taken in. If they go to join Ma Teng, they will even fall into the trap. You can consider sending Ma Teng a letter to him later and ask him to arrange it.

Speaking of which, it is unknown whether Ma Teng’s plan should be waiting in Chang’an for a while? Calculate the time, and in about five days, you will arrive in almost a reply!

He happened to be fighting all the way, and he was exhausted. He happened to maintain public security in Chang'an for a period of time. In addition, he notified Cao Cao that he would come over to take over Chang'an, and Guan Yu would also send people to him, sending at least 500 people to maintain public security here.

If he didn't do this, he really wouldn't dare to leave casually, so as to avoid the little ones jumping out to burn, kill, kill, and loot as soon as he left.

"Thank you for your hard work!" After thinking for a while, Liu Tao came to Huchuquan and Qubei, "This battle has ended. Thank you for your help. After returning, there will naturally be another reward."

"Where are, we did not help much this time, and we felt guilty..." Hu Chuquan actually knew how to be modest, but then again, they did not help much this time when they went south.

At most, I help you shoot arrows to cover up when siege, but I have never experienced any bloody battles. If I get rewards like this, it is basically no different from free picking up.

However, Liu Tao still has to do what he should do. With the reward this time, he will naturally cooperate more actively when he finds them next time. Over time, he will be recruited step by step from mercenaries.

At the same time, I took them south this time, and I didn't expect them to contribute. Instead, after this trip south, they had already seen their power. After returning, they would naturally convey it, and the Southern Xiongnu's awe of themselves would also be a little bit stronger.

Let’s stabilize them for a few years first. When Liangzhou and Sizhou stabilize, it will be the time to formally incorporate them!

"The general's proposal is always to reward merits and punish me if I have made any mistakes. Since you have made great efforts, you naturally cannot be without rewards." Liu Tao smiled. In fact, the subtext is to treat them as his subordinates.

"Since that's the case, Hu Chuquan thanks the general!" Hu Chuquan hurriedly thanked, not daring to call himself the Right King. He really couldn't be tough in front of the person in front of him.

I didn't expect that after a walk, I could still get rewards. I was very happy for a while and I also had a more favorable impression of Liu Tao. At least, it was more pleasing to those cunning Han people than what my parents said.

Five days later, Zhang He personally brought 500 people to take over the defense of Chang'an City. At the same time, Zhong Yao also came, who temporarily acted as the prefect of Jingzhao until the new prefect was promoted.

Jingzhao and Henan have Jingzhao Yin and Henan Yin, but there is no prefect. However, now Sili has changed to Sizhou, and Jingzhao naturally becomes Jingzhao County. In history, there were Jingzhao Yin, which was Yang Biao, and then Sima Fang, but neither of them are here.

It would be rare that Zhong Yao asked Liu Tao if there were any alternative talents. Liu Tao thought about it and reported Wang Hong, but as for the county magistrate Xu Sheng of Shaanxi County, he did not mention it.

When I went to Shan County before, I found that the city here was not very energetic, there were not many merchants, and the people were also in a hurry and evasive manner. This shows that Xu Sheng was either incompetent or had problems.

There are many officials in the world who have problems, so they simply did not take them down at that time, just a little reminder. If he is sensible, he will naturally have to do things well in the future. If he cannot understand it yet, then naturally someone will punish him.

"Wang Hong's words...but isn't he already the prefect of Hongnong?" Zhong Yao recognized Wang Hong, but he had to ask a question. The words of Pingding are nothing, especially Jingzhao Yin and Hongnong are not comparable.

"It would be better for the prefect Hongnong to appoint others. In the future, there will be no need to set up a new state in Guanzhong. What I mean is to let you see if Wang Hong can be used. If it can be used, it can be kept as a reserve talent in the future." Liu Tao explained his purpose slightly.

"So that's the case, but the lord is far-sighted." Zhong Yao suddenly realized and quickly flattered him.

"Anyway, Yuan Changduo is responsible for the matter in Guanzhong. Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng have not recovered it now, so they may even ask you to recover it." Liu Tao reminded.

"This is not a problem. You only need to go to a document, and the prefects in both places will naturally descend upon you!" Zhong Yao said with a smile when he heard this.

Dong Zhuo's power has been completely failed. Dong Min and others flee far away and are missing. Will these prefects still not see the situation clearly? Or are they planning to rebel?

"Anyway, you can do it. I believe in your ability and Zhang He!" Liu Tao said with a smile.

After a few words of relief, he left. Some soldiers came to report that Ma Teng's messenger had arrived.

After waiting for a few days, it is the main thing to see what Ma Teng’s attitude is, and at least he knows how to deal with it.

"Tell me, what is General Ma's attitude?" Liu Tao saw that the messenger was still the same as before, so he asked directly.

"General Ma is willing to accept General Anxi's appointment..." the other party said slowly. Liu Tao was not surprised by this, but was still waiting for the follow-up. After all, there may be some turning points at this time.

"During this period, Major General Ma Chao proposed to separatist Liangzhou... but the general did not agree and officially replied that he only held the position of General Anxi and the position of governor. Please select virtuous people as soon as possible and come to take office!" The messenger was worried that Liu Tao would misunderstand, so he simply finished the passage in one breath.

At present, there is no need to say that part of Ma Chao, but he thinks that what he said can highlight Ma Teng's loyalty.

"Ma Teng is loyal and righteous, but letting him take good care of Ma Chao as a general is too confident and not knowing the importance of it." Liu Tao said slowly. Ma Chao was indeed a naughty child.

I am young and worried, and when I grow up, my main flaw is that my strength is supreme, I am not wary of conspiracy and tricks, but I don’t know if there is any problem with this IQ.

Probably, Ma Teng is fighting all year round and doesn’t have much time to discipline. It may also be because Ma Chao has the bloodline of Qiang and Hu, so he is used to being reckless. Or he is praised by Qiang and Hu for a long time and has been floating around, but in the end, he is successfully praised and killed.

"This, the younger one will go back to report to the general." After hearing this, the messenger could only express his remarks.

"By the way, there is another thing you need to repost..." Liu Tao suddenly remembered what Li Jue had done and immediately ordered.

"Okay, I will report it to the general when I go back. As long as Li Jue and Guo Si come and join us, I will definitely take it down and send it to the general." The messenger replied immediately.

"Forget it, just give it away, just grab it and kill it. I don't want to see these two people." Liu Tao shook his head, "To put it, I seem to have never known your name, and according to what I see, you should not be an ordinary soldier."

"I will not hide it from the general. The young man named Ma and his name is Zhi, and he is Ma Teng's clan brother." Ma Zhi quickly introduced himself. Unlike Ma Teng's branch, although he was also a descendant of Ma Yuan, he was a descendant of Ma Yuan's grandson Ma Zun. Strictly speaking, Ma Teng has been in the five-subject state.

But everyone is the Ma family of Fufeng and has an ancestor, so in terms of seniority, he, a 20-year-old young man, is Ma Teng's clan brother.

Sure enough, Ma Teng gave the work of a messenger to the closest people to do. At the same time, if Ma Zhi comes, he will naturally make decisions on some things, so that he will not need to ask Ma Teng for instructions before he can do everything.

"From your appearance, you seem to have read a book?" Liu Tao asked.

"When I was a child, I learned martial arts from my father, but I only learned some of my father's superficiality. I read some miscellaneous books and had a little more knowledge and could not be a good place!" Ma Zhi said modestly.

"You should be a civil servant, not a military officer!" Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Indeed, the young man is in the army of his clan brothers." Ma Zhi directly admitted.

In fact, after Ma Teng got a formal background, he returned to his hometown and of course he also found many tribe members to help.

In the past, he was a rebel, but Wuyan came back, and even his tribe members would not be able to miss him. Now he is under the command of Liu Tao, the general of the Han Dynasty, the general of the North. So, let’s talk about it in addition, he attracted a group of tribe members to help, including the horse rank.

Some hold civilian positions, some hold military positions, and a few serve as personal commanders. Of course, except for the Ma family, some families that have married the Ma family also send people to join them.

Ma Teng continued to expand his territory and lacked officials to govern local governments, so he made some arrangements.

Therefore, when Liu Tao said that he could only command troops and not govern the government, Ma Zhi was in a difficult position. After all, many officials had been appointed, and whether these appointed people could still be counted was very worried.

It is absolutely necessary to take the opportunity to tell this situation.

"This is easy to say. I have already appointed him. Then I respect his decision and believe that he will not arrange some people who are ignorant and have poor morals to the local official position. However, after he accepted General Anxi, the subsequent official position appointed was invalid and he needed to be assessed by the governor before he could be hired as a meritorious person. You can go back and pass the message to him like this!" Liu Tao thought for a while and replied.

"General Xie, after I go back, I will definitely transfer it to General Anxi." Ma Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded quickly.

At this point, Liu Tao's purpose was almost accomplished, and it was meaningless to stay in Chang'an.

So he arranged the follow-up matters, left Hu Zhen and Fan Chou, and put them under Zhang He's command. He sent Xu Rong and Duan Wei to Guan Yu's command, and finally led his army north.

From Jingzhao Yin to Hongnong, then cross the river and enter Hedong, and finally enter Shangdang. The Huns parted ways with Liu Tao in Hedong, and the latter said that they would ask someone to send them to Xihe County later.

In the end, it took five days to return to Jinyang.

"I'm back..." Liu Tao sighed. He knew very well that many things had changed since he returned here!
