Chapter 512 I am willing to be angry for you and go to the meeting on my knees
Is Ma Chao considered a Hanchen?
In terms of status alone, Ma Chao, who was a hussar general of the Han Dynasty, served as the Mu of Liangzhou, and was granted the title of Marquis of Zhuxiang, was certainly an out-and-out Han official.
But many things are not as simple as they appear.
Although Ma Chao holds a high position in the Han Dynasty, he has never had real power in his hands.
In addition to having no real power, the officials of the entire Han Dynasty treated Ma Chao as if they were seeing a snake or a scorpion, and they were afraid to avoid him.
Under such circumstances, Ma Chao could only stay alone in Mianyang for the past few years.
This is not only Liu Bei's defense against Ma Chao, but also his protection for Ma Chao.
If Ma Chao is not allowed to fade out of people's sight as much as possible, Mi Yang can guarantee that Liu Bei's desk will be filled with memorials to impeach Ma Chao in the Han Dynasty.
It can be said that no one in the entire Han Dynasty regarded Ma Chao as their companion.
And in this actual situation of being isolated, can Ma Chao be considered a Hanchen?
In name only but in reality.
Ma Chao's question seemed ridiculous, but it was actually a subtle question to Mi Yang. After such a bloody battle, could he really be accepted by the big men?
It was precisely because he understood Ma Chao's profound meaning that Mi Yang remained silent.
The reason why Ma Chao was deliberately isolated by the Han Dynasty was that his status as a prince was not the most important reason.
Because at most this will make it difficult for him to have real power in his hands, but it will not make him disliked by everyone.
The reason why Ma Chao is despised by everyone is because he killed his father and his clan members.
In real history, Ma Teng entered the court as an official under Zhang Ji's persuasion and was appointed as a guard by Cao Cao.
Of course, Ma Teng was not unwary of Cao Cao, so although he left Xiliang with his two sons Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, he still left Ma Chao to command his troops in Liangzhou.
This also proves that Ma Teng really wanted to serve Cao Cao, otherwise he would not have moved all the Ma clan members, including himself, to Yecheng.
It's just that Ma Teng wanted to leave a guarantee for himself.
The soldiers and horses in Ma Chao's hands are the most important guarantee for protecting the Ma clan.
And Ma Teng dared to do this, didn't he just think that Ma Chao wouldn't harm him?
But what happened later shattered this agreement into pieces.
That is because Ma Chao suspected that Cao Cao intended to use false tactics to destroy Guo, so he directly and brazenly led his army to rebel, completely ignoring the safety of his father and brother's tribe in Yecheng.
"Now, Ma Chao abandoned his father and took General Han as his father. General Han should also abandon his son and take Ma Chao as his son."
Ma Chao's words that shocked the world directly proved what he was thinking back then.
You must know that Ma Teng was not dead at that time, so Ma Chao was actually only responsible for commanding the army for Ma Teng. He was not the master of the Ma Jiajun in Liangzhou.
But Ma Chao not only rebelled against the agreement, but even used Ma Teng's own soldiers and horses to send Ma Teng to his death.
When the news of Ma Chao's rebellion reached Yecheng, even Cao Cao couldn't believe it.
Ma Chao rebelled in the 16th year of Jian'an, and Cao Cao did not send troops to capture Ma Teng and other Ma clan members until the 17th year of Jian'an.
This proves that within this year, Cao Cao still held out hope that Ma Chao might change his mind.
But no.
So Ma Teng and hundreds of people from the upper and lower Ma clans were all killed by Cao Cao in Yecheng.
To violate an agreement is to be disloyal, to disobey the commander's orders to rebel is to be disloyal, to kill one's father's clan is to be unfilial and unkind.
Ma Chao has committed all four of the most unacceptable evil deeds in the world. How could the world not scold Ma Chao?
Based on what Ma Chao has done in the past, it was fortunate that Liu Bei took Ma Chao in in the end. Otherwise, would Ma Chao be alive today?
And everyone from top to bottom of the Han Dynasty disliked Ma Chao, so how could he say that he was right?
But Ma Chao, who has made great achievements, wants to truly become a Hanchen, so naturally it is not wrong.
When both are correct, the most difficult thing now is Mi Yang.
If he answered Ma Chao that he was not, then what he did would be understood by everyone in the world, but he would only disappoint Ma Chao alone.
But if he answers Ma Chao yes, then he will have to work hard for his answer in the future. Then what he may get is the thanks of Ma Chao alone, but he will attract criticism from people all over the world.
Which one is more important, seems to be an easy choice.
After Ma Chao asked that question, he kept staring at Mi Yang.
At first he might still have hope, but it can be seen that Mi Yang pondered for a long time, and the hope in Ma Chao's eyes gradually disappeared.
Why did he agree to Mi Yang to defend Yinping?
What he does is not establish meritorious service, because he knows that no matter how great his achievements are, he will never be able to hold too much power in his life.
His purpose is to help Mi Yang win this battle so that Mi Yang can use his position to speak to the world for him after the war - he, Ma Chao, knows he is wrong! He, Ma Chao, is correcting it!
But now it seems that Mi Yang doesn't want to take this risk.
Although Ma Chao felt disappointed and heartbroken, he also understood Mi Yang.
How many people in the world are willing to take this risk for him?
But just when Ma Chao felt desperate, a gentle word came to his ears:
"I heard that General Hussar is a descendant of the late General Fubo.
The late General Fubo fought to the death for the unification of the Han Dynasty and made great achievements. He can be said to be one of the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty that Yang admires the most.
Today's hussar general looks like his ancestors!"
Mi Yang's words were like a spring breeze blowing over solid ice, causing Ma Chao's already cold heart to gradually regain its temperature.
Ma Chao looked at Mi Yang with disbelief, his eyes still full of emotion.
The ancestor Ma Yuan has always been the pride of every descendant of the Ma family in Liangzhou.
Although Ma Yuan surrendered to the Han Shizu halfway, looking at his life as a whole, he can indeed be called the founder of the Han Dynasty.
Now Mi Yang compares Ma Chao to his ancestor Ma Yuan. One is to highly praise Ma Chao's achievements, and the other is to answer Ma Chao's questions head-on.
"You have always been."
Mi Yang's answer made Ma Chao excited and wanted to get up and pay homage.
But he was stopped by Mi Yang.
After stopping Ma Chao from getting up, Mi Yang might as well speak more clearly:
"You need to take good care of your injuries. Your Majesty will arrive in Liangzhou soon.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At that time, I will meet with Your Majesty to ensure that your meritorious service in this battle will be treated fairly.
In the future, in the clear history, you and I will share the infinite glory of this battle."
Although Mi Yang said this in a gentle tone, it was not difficult to hear the firm meaning in it.
In this world, a promise made by a scholar is as important as the Nine Cauldrons.
As for whether Mi Yang can do this, there is no doubt.
Because the so-called Zhao Zhao Qing History will be nothing more than a memoir by Mi Yang in the future.
After listening to Mi Yang's promise, Ma Chao felt as if the sky was clear, and the haze that had accumulated for several years was instantly swept away.
The person who made this promise to him was the general who had just saved the Han Dynasty. Ma Chao believed that Mi Yang could do this.
After making the promise, Mi Yang wanted Ma Chao to have a good rest, so he got up and walked out of the room.
But before taking a few steps, Mi Yang was stopped by Ma Chao's question.
"Why?"
This is the biggest doubt in Ma Chao's mind right now.
Why are you willing to help him despite the consequences of being criticized by the world?
Why add trouble to yourself when you should be enjoying the glory alone?
Ma Chao didn't believe Mi Yang and didn't know what consequences he would bear after making this promise.
Facing Ma Chao's question, Mi Yang turned to look at him and answered slowly:
“Gong is merit, and fault is fault.
I will not cover up for you the mistakes you have made in the past, nor can I cover them up for you.
But if you obey my orders and make great contributions to me and the great man, then I will definitely not let you be treated unfairly.
What you did in the past will have its consequences.
But you should be fairly rewarded for your efforts today.
Isn’t this reason enough?”
Mi Yang's last rhetorical question and his matter-of-fact attitude made Ma Chao stunned.
But after a moment, a hearty laugh burst from Ma Chao's mouth.
Enough! Enough!
Amid Ma Chao's loud laughter, Mi Yang walked out of Ma Chao's room.
Ma Dai has been standing guard outside the room. Of course he knows what Ma Chao will ask him for after seeing Mi Yang.
Therefore, he never left because he wanted to know the consequences as soon as possible.
Ma Dai already knew the answer from Ma Chao's bursts of laughter.
So he looked at Mi Yang who walked out of the room, his eyes full of gratitude and respect.
This is the first person in the world who does not view him and Ma Chao with prejudice.
When Mi Yang saw that Ma Dai was still there, he was not surprised. He took advantage of the situation and summoned Ma Dai in front of him.
Before Ma Dai arrived, Mi Yang asked him: "You just said that General Hussar still has an enemy alive?"
Mi Yang's question made Ma Dai stunned.
Just now on the way to bring Mi Yang to see Ma Chao, Ma Dai mentioned this matter to Mi Yang in a vague way. He only mentioned it for Ma Chao's sake.
With Ma Chao's current physical condition, he will definitely not be able to take revenge himself.
Then Ma Dai wanted to use Mi Yang's power.
But when he mentioned this matter just now, Mi Yang seemed not to hear it, which made him afraid to talk about it in depth.
Unexpectedly, Mi Yang suddenly asked about this matter at this moment.
Ma Dai respectfully reported to Mi Yang the origin of Ma Chao's enemy.
That man was Qiang Duan, the enemy who betrayed Ma Chao and led to the defeat of the Han army during the Battle of Xia Bian.
Qiang Duan's betrayal not only caused heavy losses to the Han army, but also caused Ma Chao to almost be charged with collaborating with the enemy. It's no wonder Ma Chao doesn't hate him to death.
After hearing the origin of Qiang Duan, Mi Yang nodded slightly and told Ma Dai:
"When you send an order, tell me that I am in Yinping now, and ask the Qiang and Di leaders from Yinping and Wudu counties to come and see me."
As of today, the entire Liangzhou War has entered its final stage.
At this stage, it is time to take back Yinping and Wudu counties for the Han Dynasty.
If you want to regain Yinping and Wudu counties, you must conquer the Qiang and Di leaders in the two counties.
However, with Mi Yang's current prestige, if he wants to achieve this, he no longer needs to send troops to conquer.
Foreign races have always been fearful of power and unethical.
And when it comes to power, looking at the entire world, who can compare to Mi Yang at the moment?
Calling him with one word is the right time.
...
As expected by Mi Yang, when Ma Dai spread the news that Mi Yang was in Yinping, not to mention the reaction in Yinping County, even the slightly farther Wudu County seemed to have triggered a major earthquake in an instant.
Yinping is not far from Wudu County, and isn't the man's intention in Yinping obvious?
For a time, the entire Qiang and Di leaders in Wudu County were panicked.
What the hell is the Han general who just defeated hundreds of thousands of Wei troops? Is this something a human can do?
Many Qiang and Di leaders secretly compared Mi Yang with other famous generals in history, and found that no famous general could achieve such dazzling achievements at Mi Yang's age.
After thinking of this, many Qiang and Di leaders trembled even more.
Hundreds of thousands of Wei troops were defeated by Mi Yang. If Mi Yang led his army into Wudu, could they defeat Mi Yang?
Putting aside this possibility, which "big king" would dare to be an enemy of Mi Yang?
When this idea emerged in the minds of the Qiang and Di leaders, they made a decision immediately.
We must go to Yinping. If we go to Yinping, we don’t know whether we will die, but if we don’t go, we will definitely die in the future.
Soon, under Mi Yang's call, many Qiang and Di leaders handed over their tribe's troops and horses to the tribesmen, and then quickly rushed towards Yinping with only a small group of personal guards.
In the past, these Qiang and Di leaders were all kings and hegemons of one party, but when faced with Mi Yang's orders, they were so frightened that they did not even dare to bring more soldiers and horses to protect them.
They were afraid of arousing the slightest suspicion in Mi Yang, so they would send troops to eradicate their entire tribe.
It didn't take long for the Qiang and Di leaders, who were good at riding, to arrive outside Yinping City.
After they arrived outside Yinping City, they were almost frightened to their knees by what they saw.
Tall piles of corpses composed of Wei army corpses were standing quietly outside Yinping City, like huge beasts, staring at them with cold eyes.
This scene, similar to that in Jingguan, would be intolerable to any normal person, let alone the Qiang Di leaders who were already deeply afraid of Mi Yang.
Many Qiang and Di leaders have seen the bravery of the Wei army. Although the Wei army has failed in civil war recently, it has never lost in foreign wars.
And how brave was the Han army who was able to build up such a powerful Wei army into Jingguan?
I don't dare to think about it, I simply don't dare to think about it.
After learning that most of the Qiang and Di leaders had arrived in Yinping City, Mi Yang soon held a meeting with all the Qiang and Di leaders in the military camp outside Yinping City.
After receiving the notice, many Qiang and Di leaders arrived outside the camp gate early to show their respect.
But when many Qiang and Di leaders learned that Mi Yang was waiting inside the camp gate, they were so frightened that they all walked forward on their knees, not daring to look up at the young man standing on the high platform.
Their lives are all in the balance of Mi Yang's thoughts at this moment. If they don't pretend to be grandsons at this moment, when will they pretend to be grandsons?
Mi Yang looked at the Qiang and Di leaders who were walking in, with a sneer on his lips.
What did you do early?
After all the Qiang and Di leaders arrived at the open space not far from Mi Yang, a question floated from the high platform, frightening all the Qiang and Di leaders to the point of crying.
"At the beginning, Gu Zeng asked General Hussar to recruit you to lead troops to jointly defend Liangzhou, but how many of you can lead troops to help?
This incident makes Gu very unhappy."
As soon as Mi Yang finished speaking, countless Han troops surged out from around the gate and surrounded the Qiang and Di leaders who were kneeling on the ground.
Looking at the gleaming blades around them, the Qiang and Di leaders could no longer hold back and cried directly.
