Shu Chen

Chapter 290 Gu Zang
After eight days of rapid march, Zheng Pu finally arrived at Guzang, the governor of Wuwei County.

After the military meeting that day, he divided his troops.

Guan Xing, Zhang Yi, Zong Yu, and Mi Wei led [-] soldiers to Zhiyang County.After all, there were [-] Wei troops crouching in Jincheng County, and the Hexi Allied Army was defeated, so they naturally had to go back to obey Wei Yan's tent.

Even Zhang Bao led the headquarters back to the city of Shuyin.

As the chief general of Yuyin, he was worried that Ni Wei would send troops to attack this place if he learned about the battle here. With only Liu Yin's [-] 蜑獽 army, he might be difficult to defend due to insufficient troops.

Liao Hua and Wang Ping followed Zheng Pu first.

Thanks to Jia Xu's first search for food and fodder in various counties and counties, the Han army captured so much luggage and food and fodder when they captured the camp of the Hexi coalition army that the army had enough food for three months.Therefore, out of the consideration of supporting Ma Dai, Fei Yi and Zhuge Qiao supervised Yan Yu, Sima Jiang Shu and other troops to escort the supplies and food fodder.

The general who stayed at Lingjusai was Zhoutai, who belonged to Zheng Pu's headquarters.

Ling Jusai, as the preferred route to guard the hub of Hexi and Jincheng, as well as the Silk Road, must be rebuilt.And in Yunjie County below, the imperial court has allowed Zhiwudai and Baihuwen to relocate inland. Out of the mind of taking precautions, Lingju also needs to relocate Lishu registered households and garrison troops.

These Hexi captives are the best choice for immigrants.

The governor of Zhoutai led [-] soldiers to stay in Lingjusai, and his duty was to supervise the Hexi captives to cut wood and get stones, repair the fortress, and build houses for migrants in advance.As long as you draw the fields and move their families, and then break them up and mix them into the camps of the Han army, you can transfer them to the counties in Hexi and make them guard wholeheartedly.

Yes, Zhoutai will stay in Hexi for defense in the future.

He asked for it himself.

The reason is that Sima Yi, who used to be very special to him and had a kindness for promotion, is now supervising the war in Yongliang.If he leads the army to fight against the enemy, he is ashamed of his heart; if he does not fight with all his strength, he will fail the kindness of the big man for rebuilding him.

In a dilemma, he asked Zheng Pu and Zhuge Qiao to come to the same table, and pleaded for him to stay in Hexi in the future.

Zhuge Qiao, who had never had a good relationship with him, tried to persuade him with the distinction between righteousness and righteousness, but Zhoutai still didn't change his mind.

Zheng Pu also felt a little regretful.

In the past, when the prime minister asked him to comment on the rate of the next generation in private, he highly praised Zhou Tai's talent, and now he is asking for orders to stay in the town.However, today's morality is like this, and he can't force it.

The right is that everyone has his own aspirations.

Reassuring himself in this way, when Zheng Pu rushed to the outside of Guzang City, Ma Dai who came out to greet him was full of awe.

It's not that the soldiers and horses who stayed in the Gulang River Valley poisoned the counties.

The Xiliang iron cavalry lived up to the reputation of running thousands of miles. Ma Dai, who was two days late in the march, led the cavalry in hot pursuit, and was able to catch up with the army when it entered Tuci County.

Although the leader of that army is Jia Xu's confidant, he is also from Wuwei County.

With the general situation gone, he did not take actions such as burning the city and killing the people to vent his anger. Instead, he closed the city gate and defended himself to prevent the Han army from entering the city.

Waiting for Ma Dai to send envoys to negotiate, claiming that the Han army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and he does not want to cause more killings.As long as they disarm and surrender, the Han army will not be blamed for the crime of conscripting, nor will they offend Li Shuqiu.He also told Jia Xu that he was dead and that his body would be buried in his hometown in the near future. After disintegrating their fighting spirit, the army leader sent people to surrender.

But after he witnessed Jia Xu's burial with his own eyes, he would lead the army out of the city to check the head.

In this regard, Ma Dai made it a point for him not to forget his old master, so he temporarily granted him the power of the general of Zhenxi to lead the general of Tuci County to protect order and prevent Li Shu from being injured by those who took the opportunity to riot.

Then he led the troops to Guzang County.

As soon as they arrived, there were no soldiers ready for battle, but the gates of the city were wide open and the city was full of plains.

Yang Fu is dead.

After the news of the defeat of the Hexi coalition army came, Yang Fu, who seemed to have been prepared, dismissed his assistants and subordinates and committed suicide by taking poison.

By the time others found out, he had been out of breath for a long time.

He also left a suicide note, claiming that he was the governor of Liangzhou in Wei Dynasty, and he was responsible for guarding the land, and death was not a pity, but he did not want the rest of the bureaucrats and soldiers to follow suit; Wait.

Yang Fu was a famous author in Liangzhou, and since he took office, he has done many good governance, so the people all over the city mourn his death when they hear of his death.

The nobles and rightists spontaneously paid for their coffins and funerals, the officials and servants wore hemp to guard the spirit, and the Li and commoners stamped their feet and cried in the road, which made the hearts of the Hexi coalition army defeated.

After Ma Dai heard about it, he garrisoned troops outside the city and ordered a few soldiers to enter the city's Hudi Pavilion and arsenal.

Because when he came to Yutu, he thought about how to deal with Yang Fu more than once.

Gaiyin's Longxi branch of the Fufeng Ma clan was first exiled to Yecheng by Cao Cao of Wei Wu, and then to Ji County by Yang Fu. More than [-] members of the family were exterminated.

Although it is because Ma Chao raised his troops and broke his promise.

But blood enmity, if you don't avenge it, what kind of face will you have to live in the evil world!

It's just that, apart from being full of ambition to kill enemies, Ma Dai still maintains a semblance of reason - he knows that if he kills Yang Fu himself, it will be detrimental to the court.

One is that it violates the court law.

With Yang Fu's official position, if he hadn't died in battle, the raw captive would ask the prime minister to make a decision, and he would not be able to specialize himself.

The other is that it is not conducive to appease the counties in Hexi.

Yang Fu's official reputation is very good, and all the scholars love him. If he is punished, it will not only arouse the resentment of the counties and counties, but also make other Wei Zhi Liao Zuo feel insecure, thinking that the Han army is bloodthirsty, and they will never surrender.

Therefore, Yang Fu's suicide did not ease his dilemma.

It is also based on this that Ma Dai does not want to lead the army into the city.

Those Liaozuo and Haoyou in the city set up the mourning hall in the governor's mansion of the state. When he entered, he would face the dilemma of whether to be expelled for the funeral. Why bother?

Anyway, there is no turmoil in the city, and the mansion and arsenal are under control, so there is nothing more to do.

"General."

Zheng Pu, who was well aware of Ma Chao's past deeds, bowed after hearing Ma Dai's narration, and said softly, "Before the army left, I was ordered by the prime minister to take care of Hexi Haoyou and Liaozuo. Therefore, in order to order Hexi scholars You know that I am a great man, and I will return home as soon as possible. If I want to go to the city to express my condolences, I will praise him more in words, so please don’t blame me, General.”

After hearing this, Ma Dai responded silently.

After a long time, Fang said sadly, "Since a person is dead, the things of the past will be over. Zijin is acting for the country, so he will go without me."

"General Gao Yi is the pillar of the country!"

Zheng Pu clapped his hands to do something, and gave him a heartfelt praise.

Going back, let Liao Huadu Yan Yu, Jiang Shu and other departments go to the rest of Wuwei's counties to promote the might of the Han army, occupy various cities and appease Li Shu.He himself led Wang Ping's troops into the city to take over the defense, and went to the state governor's mansion to express his condolences.After the incident, Yang Fu was ordered to go back to Ji County for burial with the help of the coffin, and the curfew in Shencheng, the law of the Han Dynasty, and the uninjured soldiers of the Han army were soothed.

It's been five days since everything was roughly planned and settled.

Fei Yi and Zhuge Qiao also supervised the rear army and Zheng Pufang was able to escape.

Coincidentally, Jiang Wei, who heard the news, also came, but he also brought the news that both people and gods were angry.
