Chapter 961 The Ma family must be loyal ministers

"How's the army getting ready?" Ma Teng called Gongsun Zan over after sending Wen Ming away.

"Legion Commander, are you looking for me?" As far as the age of the two was concerned, Gongsun Zan was still slightly older, but when he saw Ma Teng at this moment, he had to lower his posture.

He separatized Youzhou and killed Liu Yu, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, as the prefect of Youbeiping.Although Liu Yu was suspected of attacking first, he still has the following crimes.The imperial court came forward to take in him who had nothing left, and appointed him as the deputy head of the Yongzhou army. He is now the deputy head of the Liangzhou army. He actually has no right to complain.

"The army rations for the horses have been prepared, and the high-quality iron is also in place, ready to be used to make weapons at any time." Ma Teng handed over Wen Ming's receipt document just now, "Ten days later, you will lead the troops to suppress Xiegu .Using Huang Zhong to lead the army to suppress the Meridian Valley... no problem, right?"

"To what extent?" Gongsun Zan replied casually.

"It's best to beat them until they get scared, but it won't work, and the other party should feel enough pressure." Ma Teng replied, "The envoy sent to recruit them is already on the way. Maybe we don't need to go out, but... be prepared !"

"Okay, this subordinate obeys!" Gongsun Zan nodded, and immediately went back to prepare.

Not long after Gongsun Zan left, Matthew walked in.Since Ma Chao went to Xudu and Ma Tie 'married' Wen Ming, the Ma family's hope was actually placed on Ma Xiu.

"Father...why I don't have a share in this expedition?" Maybe it was because Ma Teng ran around in his early years and didn't educate his children well, and then relaxed his discipline on Matthew in recent years. The latter's attitude is naturally much more casual.

"This time the Liangzhou Legion was reorganized, I was promoted to the Liangzhou Legion, and the Yongzhou Legion was disbanded and merged in." Ma Teng was a little more tolerant of this young son, "We have already taken advantage of it, so next, we must divide it appropriately." Go out a little, so as not to be disgusted by others. In addition, you only have 500 people under your command, and it won't help much if you go there."

Taking a ten thousand step back, the coercion this time is very particular. It needs to overwhelm the other party, but it can't force the other party to die.So in this matter, it is safer for the two veteran generals, Gongsun Zan and Huang Zhong, to go over.Of course, if the Liangzhou Army hadn't been inseparable from Ma Tie and Wenming, I'm afraid they would have sent Ma Tie to experience it.

"But obviously my cousin can go..." Matthew complained, he was talking about Ma Teng's niece Ma Dai.As he grew up, Ma Dai's military strength and ability to command troops were no less than Ma Chao's, and he was one of the next generation that the Ma family placed high hopes on.

Strictly speaking, Ma Tie is also considered, he can be regarded as a relatively qualified old man.Ma Chao and Ma Dai are in charge of development, and Ma Tie is in charge of defense. The Ma family can develop steadily and even become generals.

The real problem... Ma Teng looked at Matthew out of the corner of his eye, but the youngest son was not worried.Average martial arts, average learning, that is, a role that is just waiting to die.Ma Tie is already a school lieutenant, Ma Dai is already a partial general, and Matthew is just a small military officer.

"I plan to arrange for you to go to Xudu after a while." Ma Teng replied, "The Dahan Royal Military Academy is about to start, and you can study for a while then."

"Father, I've grown up, and I'm still a military officer!" Matthew immediately dissatisfied, let him study, it is better to kill him.

"In the future, if you want to be promoted above the military rank, you have to go through the training of the military academy, so you have to go there after all." Ma Teng replied.

Originally, it was said that each level would be assessed, but in fact it was impossible, as the round-trips were too frequent.Lu Zhi's follow-up proposal is only aimed at the current stage. Officers above the military marquis must be assessed as long as they are promoted.

After all, it has to be combined with the Lantai system, the military academy system, as long as it is to enhance the officers' vision, knowledge and political stance.In the final analysis, it is to prepare for the elite of the army.

The final result is that at the first level of military rank, one needs to receive an education, and then promoted to an official general, which also requires a study.The reason is that the concept of a general commanding a war of tens of thousands of people is different from that of a small army of hundreds or thousands of people.

For Matthew, it is necessary to go once. As for whether he is qualified to go a second time in the future, Ma Teng has no idea.For the time being, this guy is about to be a captain, or a lieutenant general, right? !

"Father, we have paid so much for the big man, can't we make a special exception?" Matthew was a little embarrassed, he really didn't want to learn.Especially in Xudu, you need to be a man with your tail between your legs, not here in Liangzhou, relying on Ma Teng's identity, it is more comfortable to be a domineering.

"The imperial court also looked at my meritorious deeds, so they appointed me as the commander of the Liangzhou Army, and at the same time named me Marquis Huaili. The key is to pardon me. I have rebelled for four years in Zhongping, and the reputation of my ancestors and I have been preserved... This is already very important. Not bad." Ma Teng replied.

"But we used to be in Liangzhou, but we could directly crack the earth and seal the king..." Matthew complained.

"Bastard!" Ma Teng yelled and cursed immediately after hearing the words, "Who told you such a thing? Didn't I say, don't make friends with such treacherous villains casually?!"

"But..." Matthew pouted, as if planning to refute something.

"There is nothing wrong!" Ma Teng roared, "My ancestor of the Ma family was General Fubo Ma Yuan of the great man! The ancestor was loyal to the great man all his life, and the descendants of our Ma family are also full of loyalty! Such a stupid thing as cracking the earth to seal the king is absolutely unacceptable. It may appear on the Ma family outside!"

The scolding came out, perhaps seeing Matthew shrunk his head, sighed a little, and continued: "Isn't Yuan Shao amazing? Occupying the land of Qingji and the four remote states, it seems that there are 20 soldiers and horses ([-] soldiers) Now, how is she doing? Liangzhou is barren, with a vast land and few people, mixed with Han and Hu. If we crack the earth and seal the king, then Yuan Shao's end will be our example!"

"I'm sorry..." Matthew replied, deep in his heart, he was still a little unwilling.

"Remember!" Ma Teng came in front of Ma Xiu, "Whether it is a loyal general or a traitor who has been executed by the whole family is up to you and me. Don't underestimate the court, and don't underestimate yourself. Go back and make good preparations, you'd better read some books, don't fail the assessment, it will be really embarrassing."

"Yes..." What else could Matthew say, he could only obediently agree.

"That being said..." After Matthew left, Ma Teng also sat down. He is not young, and he is estimated to be about to retire in more than ten years. I don't know if he can see his grandchildren grow up. , "I don't know if I can go further, otherwise, maybe in a few years, I will step down from the position of legion commander?"

At least, he didn't think that the imperial court would allow a legion commander to be in charge of a legion for too long.

Three days later, the edict issued by the imperial court to Zhang Lu also arrived at Nanzheng, the Hanzhong government, and then delivered to Zhang Lu.

"Surrender, and then go to Xudu to become an official..." To be honest, Zhang Lu would have surrendered if he hadn't had a criminal record.She had no choice but to put the edict in front of her two younger sisters, Yan Pu and Yang Song, "It seems that we are going to have a tough battle to fight!"
