I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 208 The Big Picture
Thousands of Wu rebels fled back from Jiangbei in embarrassment, and then retreated to Hongzhou City to confront the [-] troops led by Pingbei Hou Mawei in Jiangzhou.

Among the 5000 troops led by Ma Wei, there are more than [-] martial arts central guards, more than [-] Tengxiang left and right guards, [-] infantry troops from the two capitals of the Anguo Army, and the rest of the Zhenrong Army, Jianchang Army, and Changping Army. Thousands of people.

Among them, Wugong Zhongwei and An Guojun were the victorious soldiers who participated in the battle of Hezhou last year, while the rest of the ministries were in the hands of the rebels and did not take advantage of it.Both the Battle of Pengze and the Battle of Xinchang were defeated.

Therefore, after crossing the river to take over Jiangzhou, Ma Wei has always adopted a steady strategy.

It wasn't until the news of the great victory in Huainan came that they took the initiative to attack.First regained Yongxing, opened up the connection with Ezhou, then recovered the two cities of Wuning and Yuning, and then led the army to fight the rebels in Jianchang, first defeated the enemy who left the city, and then attacked the city for six days. To break it, capture and behead the rebel general Xi Yuanping.

Later, Ma Wei received a letter from the Marshal's Mansion, ordering him to lead the Jiangnan War, with King Qi as his deputy.

In Jianchang City, the original county government became Ma Wei's commander-in-chief.

Wearing a cotton robe and standing in front of the map, this honorable and well-known general who was over fifty years old and in good health, while listening to his staff read the text, his eyes were always fixed on the map.

"This Fu Sanlang has wiped out the main force of the rebel army, Wu Ni himself has died of illness, and there are a few remnants of defeated generals left. Isn't Aye the one who won the great achievement of restoring Jiangnan?"

Ma Wei's son, Ma Xingyuan, looked a little excited. If Aye could lead the army to restore Jiangnan, his reputation would be raised to a higher level.

However, Ma Wei, who is the rightful lord, remained calm, and the staff on the side did not say a word after reading the text of the Dudu Mansion.

He also had some thoughts about following Ma Wei, and he naturally understood this Dong Weng's temperament, and he also knew the meaning behind this sentence.

So before Dong Weng asked, he wouldn't speak indiscriminately. If he didn't wink like this, he could still be an aide?

Ma Wei came back to his senses and asked, "Erlang, in your opinion, what should I do as a father?"

Ma Xingyuan said excitedly: "Of course, Aye should hand over the army to Commander Du, order him to confront the Hongzhou rebels, and not go out to fight without authorization, and then cross the river and detour to the north of the river, cross from Hezhou to the south, and go to Jianye outside the city to fight with him." The main force of the rebels in Jianye and Yuezhou Hangzhou has been completely wiped out when the army converges. These prefectures and counties must not have the will to fight, but it depends on the message. At that time, the achievements of restoring Jiangnan will all fall on Aye."

"Your calculation is quite good."

Ma Xingyuan smiled, he thought he was praising him.And what Ma Wei said next was like pouring a basin of cold water on him, pouring it on his head.

"What you can think of, others can't think of? Idiot!"

"Fu Sanlang fought in Jiangbei and wiped out all the main forces of the rebel army. Wu Ni himself died of fright. Now there are more than ten thousand rebels in Jiangnan except Hongzhou City, and other counties are not in a good place. At this time, don't let Fu Sanlang do it for you. General, the king of Qi who has never been brought by the soldiers, and me. Do you think this is His Majesty's praise for me? Or His Highness King Qi?"

"Everyone knows that all the dangerous and vicious battles in Jiangnan are now over, and the only thing left is to pick peaches. You mean to let me get rid of this old face and go to Jianye City and King Qi for credit?"

"Shangjing's decree and Yangzhou's writing have been stated. I am in charge of the war in the south of the Yangtze River. This is to save face for you and me!"

"Your Majesty wants to support King Qi and give him some military merits. This is to let him check and balance Fu Sanlang in the future!"

"It's also because I'm afraid that Fu Sanlang's achievements will be invincible. I've lost my mind and gone crazy? Can I join in the fun?"

Say a few words to Ma Duan, blushing.

Ma Wei continued: "You devote more energy to leading the army and practicing martial arts every day. You are the same age as Fu Sanlang. Look at him."

After Ma Xingyuan heard this, he hesitated to speak, but swallowed it anyway.

He wanted to say, Aye, a few years ago, you always said that we should not learn from Fu Sanlang and spend all day in the market.
"It's Aye, I see."

"Okay, let's go down, take my dental soldiers to inspect the camp outside the city, and report back in time if there is any situation."

"promise."

Seeing his son walk out of the lobby, Ma Wei sighed and said, "Look at Fu Jiasanlang, and look at our family. There really isn't a single one of them."

Li Keli, the aide here, comforted him and said: "Master Hou, don't worry. Several lords are certainly not comparable to Marquis Wu'an, but among the honorable sons in Shangjing, which family's young sons can be compared with Marquis Wu'an?"

When Ma Wei thought about it, this is really the truth, not to mention being on par, there is nothing even comparable.

Li Keli continued: "The Marquis of Wu'an is an odd number among the noble children, and nothing compares to it. It will only increase troubles. The several lords of the Hou's mansion also studied and practiced martial arts since childhood, and they have good conduct. Fan Gongye will not fall into the prestige of the Marquis Mansion."

After hearing this, Ma Wei nodded, "Mr. Li is right. Although your sons are not as brave and courageous as Fu Jiasanlang, among the noble children in Shangjing, they can barely be regarded as the upper-middle class. At least Compared with those prodigal sons of Fu Guogong Yang's family and Xin Guogong Tang's family, he is much stronger, hahaha, is it more than the top and the bottom?"

Li Keli also smiled and said, "That's exactly the reason."

Ma Wei shook his head and smiled.Everyone understands the truth.But how can the human heart be satisfied?
He and Fu Maoxiu are about the same age, they can be regarded as the best friends of the president, and people at that time always compare them.

Naturally, he also had some thoughts in this regard.

In the early years, he served as Jiedu envoy in Shuofang, and his power shocked northern Xinjiang.The court said that the famous generals, apart from Duke Ding and Duke Wei, belonged to Ma Wei and Marquis of Wuyang Yu Luohu.

As for the British public?Will you also lead the army?

But after 14 years of Xuanjia, no one will ask such stupid things anymore.

The British government, which was originally in decline, has risen again in recent years.

The Duke of Wei has passed away, and the Duke of Ding is not in good health. I heard that he has returned to Shangjing to take care of him.

Now the hottest general in the Jin Dynasty is the Fu family.

One prince and one marquis.

Especially since the 18th year of Xuanjia, first Fu Maoxiu was the marshal of the march, and within a few months, the Hengzhou Salmonella rebellion was quelled, and tens of thousands of Yan troops retreated out of the customs alone.

Fu Jiasanlang fought again and again in the Jianghuai River, leading troops to wipe out more than [-] rebels, almost turning the situation around by himself.

The current prestige of the Fu family was no more than that when King Wu Yi was alive.

Fortunately, the Fu family did not rise up suddenly, relatives and old friends spread all over the court and the public, and the family that has been passed down for hundreds of years can also bear the burden of this prestigious reputation. This is the foundation.

But it is impossible to say that no one is jealous.

Ma Wei was jealous.

But he also understands that it's okay to be jealous, but you can't do things indiscriminately, and take all the credit for yourself.

Otherwise, eating looks too ugly.

For him, being able to wipe out the remnants of the rebel army on Jiangnan West Road now is considered a great achievement.There is an explanation to the court and His Majesty.

In the long run, the achievement of restoring Jianye involves the future balance of the court, and rushing for success is tantamount to disrupting the plans and arrangements of the Taoist emperor.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Emperor Daojun intends to let Qi Wang and Wu Anhou check and balance each other, so as to prevent the Fu family from being dominant.

This is the big picture.

No matter who is proposing, Ma Wei cannot interfere in this kind of matter.

If Hongzhou can be taken back, and the child who has usurped the title of king can be captured and sent to Beijing, this trip to the south of the Yangtze River will be considered complete.
