The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 435 Chapter 434 West Wind (1)

After a night of thinking, Yang Qiu finally chose to surrender to Ma Chao. Ma Chao surrendered the two generals Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi. Naturally, he was overjoyed and very happy.

A few days later, news came from Wuwei that Pang De and Ma Dai beheaded the candidate and took over the members of the candidate, while all members of the candidate's family were executed.

As the saying goes, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered. In the next period of time, all counties and counties in Liangzhou tore down Han Sui's military flag one after another, and hung up Ma Chao's military flag. Floating over the entire Liangzhou.

Han Sui died, and his subordinates also died, surrendered, and in exchange for a new overlord——Ma Chao!
Ma Chao became the lord of Liangzhou in one fell swoop. Although he was not formally appointed by the court, who else is actually in power besides him?
In the eyes of the Qiang people, Ma Chao is "the mighty and invincible general of heaven", and in the eyes of the Han people, he is the invincible "Jin Ma Chao". There is a brand-new flag floating in the sky of Liangzhou, and Ma Chao has thus become a Liangzhou No.1.

However, Ma Chao was not proud of this. He deeply understood how Han Sui bullied the weak when he was strong, and how he survived in the cracks.Therefore, even when Ma Chao gained power, he did not show a bullying attitude. Instead, he was still as approachable as before, treating everyone around him as his brothers, and would rather be betrayed than I would.

It is precisely because of Ma Chao's way of dealing with people and dealing with others that he quickly won praise from all Liangzhou people, and he gained a lot.

In addition, after the victory of the war, Ma Chao changed Hanyang County to Tianshui County, directly appointed Yang Qiu as the prefect of Tianshui County, Pang De as the prefect of An Ding, Cheng Yi as Shangguiling, Ma Dai as General Polu, and Ma Gang as the prefect of Tianshui County. He is still the prefect of Anding, and Ma Gang's three sons were all appointed county magistrates.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Chao seriously felt that his subordinates did not have any available talents, so he posted the order of seeking talents in Liangzhou, and posted the notices all over Liangzhou.

On the third day after the notice was posted, a man who claimed to be Yang Fu came to Wangyuan County where Ma Chao was temporarily staying.

Wangyuan County is in the lower reaches of Jixian County, less than [-] miles away from Jicheng City. Jicheng City has become a ruin. Ma Chao stationed troops in Wangyuan County and issued orders to Liangzhou.

Yang Fu, courtesy name Yishan, was born in Tianshui County and Ji County.It was originally the work of Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou. Later, Wei Duan was recruited by the court and served as a servant. The court appointed Wei Kang, the son of Wei Duan, as the governor of Liangzhou to replace Wei Duan.

After Wei Kang served as governor of Liangzhou, he asked Yang Fu to be a part-timer. He loved the people like a son, worked hard to govern, and was about to make a big difference in Liangzhou, but because of punishing a bully, he offended Han Sui, the warlord in Yuzhong. In a fit of rage, Han Sui led an army to attack Jicheng. Although Wei Kang was talented, he couldn't command an army.

After Han Sui entered the city, he arrested Wei Kang's family and beheaded them all. He himself occupied Jicheng and called himself Liangzhou Mu.

At that time, Yang Fu was ordered by Wei Kang to go to Chang'an, where the emperor was, to meet Li Jue and Guo Si, who were separatists in Chang'an. Who knew that after returning to Liangzhou, he learned that Wei Kang was beheaded by Han Sui, and hated Han Sui very much in his heart. He wanted to kill Han Sui and avenge Wei Kang.

But Han Sui had a strong army and horses, and it was at the time of his prosperity. Even Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't do anything to Han Sui, and Yang Fu naturally couldn't take revenge, so he hid in Liangzhou incognito, waiting for an opportunity.

Ma Chao killed Han Sui, and the news soon reached Yang Fu's ears, but in Yang Fu's eyes, Ma Chao was no different from Han Sui.However, after observing Ma Chao's actions later, he felt that Ma Chao and Han Sui were not the same people, and he received an order to seek talents, and saw Ma Chao's desire for talents in the order, so he decided to meet him. See the man who killed Han Sui.

In the hall of Wangyuan County, when the soldiers reported Yang Fu's name, Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily, and said immediately: "Please come in, Mr. Yang."

Yang Fu's reputation was quite prestigious among the Liangzhou gentry, so Ma Chao had naturally heard of Yang Fu's name.However, after Han Sui killed Wei Kang, Yang Fu never appeared again. Some people said that Yang Fu died in the chaos, and some said that Yang Fu moved to another place. Anyway, there are different opinions, and no one knows where Yang Fu went. where.

At this time, Yang Fu suddenly appeared and visited Ma Chao in person, which made Ma Chao feel a little flattered, and finally decided to meet Yang Fu in person.

Yang Fu waited outside the gate of the county government office, feeling very uneasy. He was just hearing about it, and he had never met Ma Chao. He didn't know what kind of person Ma Chao was.

The reason why he decided to come to see Ma Chao was simply to thank Ma Chao for killing Han Sui in person, because Han Sui was a sworn enemy to him.Yang Fu is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Wei Kang's father, Wei Duan, has kindness to him. Later, Wei Kang also supported him. He has never been able to repay the kindness he owed to Wei's father and son.However, Wei Kang died tragically at the hands of Han Sui, a treacherous villain, which made Yang Fu hate Han Sui to the core.

Now that someone has avenged him, he naturally wants to thank him.

Yang Fu was wearing a long robe, and stood quietly outside the county government office. After a while, he saw a young man wearing a strong suit striding out from the government office.

"May I ask if your Excellency is Mr. Yang Fu Yang Yishan?" Ma Chao went straight to Yang Fu and cupped his hands respectfully.

Yang Fu nodded and said, "It's Mr. Yang, I don't know if your Excellency is..."

"I'm Ma Chao..."

As soon as Ma Chao's words came out of his mouth, Yang Fu was taken aback. After taking a good look at Ma Chao, he couldn't help feeling that Ma Chao was really a good-looking talent.

At the age of 35 and six years old, Yang Fu immediately clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that he is the famous General Ma, Yang is disrespectful and disrespectful!"

"Mr. Yang, please don't say that. Mr. Yang is the famous person. I, Ma Chao, are just a vulgar person with the courage of a man. How can I be regarded as a famous person?" Ma Chao said politely.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Ma Chao invited Yang Fu into the county government office, and had already ordered his servants to set up a banquet.The two sat down as guests and hosts, Ma Chao raised his glass filled with wine, and said to Yang Fu: "Mr. Yang, Ma Chao's life is not in vain if he can see Mr. Yang today. I will treat Mr. Yang to a glass."

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao drank it all in one gulp. Yang Fu was more bold when he saw this. He raised his neck and drank the full glass of strong wine.

Seeing this, Ma Chao laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Yang is indeed a bold person. Thinking of Liangzhou, it is extremely rare to have a person with both civil and military skills like Mr. Yang. Now that Meng Chuchu is in charge of Liangzhou, there is just a shortage of people like Yang. With a talent like Mr. Yang, I don’t know if Mr. Yang is willing to work for me. Let’s work together to create Liangzhou into a paradise on earth?”

Yang Fu said: "Mr. Yang has little talent and learning, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. General Ma's good intentions, Mr. Yang appreciates it. To be honest, Mr. Yang came here this time to thank General Ma."

"Thank me?" Ma Chao asked curiously, "This is strange. I met Mr. Yang for the first time today. Why did Mr. Yang thank me as soon as we met?"

"To be honest, Han Sui is my sworn enemy, and General Ma just happened to kill Han Sui, which means he avenged me. Yang is naturally very grateful." Yang Fu said.

Ma Chao asked: "Mr. Yang and Han Sui have enmity?"

Seeing that Ma Chao was very curious, Yang Fu told Ma Chao the ins and outs of the matter. After hearing this, Ma Chao respected Yang Fu's kindness even more, and wished he could keep Yang Fu immediately.

However, Ma Chao knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he was a vulgar warrior. Yang Fu was from a gentry family, and the gentry always looked down on warriors.

Afterwards, Ma Chao and Yang Fu just chatted and did not involve any serious business. Until the end of the banquet, Ma Chao never mentioned the matter of asking Yang Fu to work under him. In his opinion, if he is good enough , Yang Fu will definitely come here on his own initiative.If he hadn't reached the point where Yang Fu would take the initiative to follow him, even if he forcibly kept Yang Fu by his side, not only would he not get Yang Fu's help, but it would also make Yang Fu hate him.

After the banquet was over, Ma Chao personally sent Yang Fu out of the house. After Yang Fu left, Ma Chao sent someone to follow Yang Fu secretly to see where Yang Fu lived, so that it would be convenient for him to talk to Yang Fu later.I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I can only go one step at a time.

As soon as Ma Chao sent Yang Fu away, someone rushed to report to Ma Chao, saying that something happened in the barracks. Han Sui's subordinates, who had surrendered before, gathered a crowd to make trouble under the leadership of a corporal leader and injured him. Army Sima, now the Ma family army is in a stalemate with Wang Shuang and others, fighting in the barracks, and several people have died.

When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately frowned. Without saying a word, he immediately asked someone to bring the horse, jumped on the horse's back, rode on and walked towards the barracks.

The barracks was located in the northeast corner of Wangyuan County. When Ma Chao rode his horse to the barracks, the barracks was already in chaos, with noisy sounds, especially the sounds of fighting, and there were a few screams from time to time.

The moment Ma Chao entered the barracks, he saw that the barracks were in a mess, with the corpses of a few Ma Jiajun lying on the ground, and a burly and strong man was fighting hard with a saber. Behind him, lay the corpses of more than a dozen surrendered soldiers.

Suddenly, the man yelled violently and slashed at him with a knife. The sharp blade directly sliced ​​across the wrists of the ten Majiajun soldiers who were fighting with him. With a blood-red hole, all the weapons in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing such a scene, Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment. He never expected that this man would be so capable. He could fight ten soldiers with one, and injured the wrists of those ten soldiers under the disadvantaged situation.And Ma Chao could also see that that person didn't seem to be doing his best, and there was still a situation where he was showing mercy.For Ma Chao, who is short of talents, his martial arts can be tied with Pound, and he is a fierce general!
