Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Shen Pei, Du Xi, and Qin Yi led 5,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry and rushed straight to Gaoyang County, Zhongshan State.  Gaoyang County has become famous all over the world since a fierce battle a few days ago. After Gongsun Zan captured Ma Tie alive, he did not withdraw his troops. Instead, he stayed in the camp drinking and having fun while waiting for Ma Chao to come to negotiate in person.  But it was said that Liu Yu sent 100,000 troops to attack Yi Jing. As soon as the army was halfway through, he received news that a large number of Wu Heng cavalry had come to the border to plunder Han people.  Liu Yu was shocked. He had been paying attention to his friendship with Wu Heng for many years, and had repeatedly provided food, cloth and other materials to the Wu Heng people. Unexpectedly, he raised a group of white-eyed wolves.  After carefully considering the pros and cons, Liu Yu had no choice but to send someone to report the whole story to Ma Chao, while he himself sent his troops to the border to deal with Wu Heng's cavalry.  Ma Chao learned the news halfway and didn't care at the moment.  The Wuheng people have already been seriously injured, and it is absolutely impossible to recover in five years.  Let them be arrogant for a few days. After a few days, they will be free to send troops to the Wuheng grassland to capture a slave and a woman. By the way, they will wipe out the ancestors of the Golden Dog, the Manchu Tatars and the Korean Bangzi, and destroy the Northeast Plains.  , the Liaodong Peninsula, the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains, the Korean Peninsula and Heilongjiang were included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.  After arriving at Gaoyang County, Ma Chao immediately asked Zhao Yun and Tian Hukang to each lead 5,000 cavalry out of the city to fight in front of Gongsun Zan's camp.  Not long after, I heard the sound of horns, the camp gate opened wide, and a pair of cavalry with about ten thousand people rushed out of the camp to start their formation.  Standing in the middle are more than 3,000 white horses. The people on the horses are wearing white robes, and their momentum is indeed extraordinary.  Gongsun Zan's face was full of pride, and he immediately took a few steps forward on his horse, laughing loudly and saying: "I never thought that I, Gongsun Zan, have such ability? I can actually make the general ignore Yuan Shao's millions of troops, and instead personally lead the troops to deal with tens of thousands of my own troops!"  Ma Chao urged Hu Lei to take a few steps forward and said with a smile: "General Gongsun, are you okay? I haven't seen Dong Yi for several years. It is not my intention to meet before the battle today."  Deep, he immediately clasped his fists and returned the salute: "The general has said it, why do I want to fight with the general? It's just that the general keeps pressing on, and I have no choice but to capture the horse this time with a little trick.  General Tie, but I don't dare to hurt him at all!" After saying that, he waved his hand and immediately several soldiers rushed to the front of the two armies, hugging Ma Tie who was tied up with five flowers.  Ma Ti looked haggard and ashamed, and did not dare to look at Ma Chao.  Ma Chao's thoughts were racing, and it was difficult to guess Gongsun Zan's true intention for a while. His expression remained unchanged and he said loudly: "General Gongsun, does he think he can do whatever he wants with my brother in his hands? It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth. Ma Tie is my brother, right?"  False, but the tens of thousands of soldiers behind me are also my brothers, Ma Chao, and I have always treated them as brothers! It is absolutely impossible for me to sacrifice thousands of brothers for one brother! " These words!  Full of energy, he shouted loudly in front of the two armies, and the sergeants on both sides heard clearly.  Especially Zhao Yun's cavalry and the Southern Huns cavalry were inevitably moved when they heard this, and their eyes were full of respect.  Ma Chao continued: "Ancestor Ma Yuan once said: When a man goes to war in the wilderness, he will be buried wrapped in horse leather! When a man defends his family and country and fights on the battlefield, his death is the place where he dies, and it is also a supreme honor! My Ma family has been since  Our ancestor Ma Yuan has served the Han Dynasty for more than four hundred years. Ma Tie is not the only one who has sacrificed his life for the country." Gongsun Zan frowned. From what he said, Ma Chao seemed to have plans to defeat the enemy. If so, what could he do to resist Ma Chao's anger?  Immediately he said: "I admire the general's high moral integrity! I invite the general to come today without the slightest intention of threatening me! General Ma Tie has also made great contributions to the Han Dynasty over the years. I will never dare to harm his life!" Ma Chao met Gongsun Zan!  Taking the initiative to speak softly, he did not dare to be aggressive anymore and said: "As a Han official, you have made many achievements over the years. I am by no means an intolerable person. The remnants of Dong's thieves in the past are like Li  Ru, Li Jue and others are the best examples. But you have no respect for the emperor and have recently collaborated with the rebel Yuan Shaohan. You have really touched the bottom line of the imperial court and you will have to send troops to fight against it!" Gongsun Zan!  Hearing this, he scolded Ma Chao countless times in his heart. His words sounded better than his words, and he thought to himself: I, Gongsun Zan, have no ambition to be an emperor?  Do you, Ma Chao, take the Emperor seriously?  If he even dares to rob the emperor's wife, he is short of trying to usurp the throne!  But this cannot be said face to face, otherwise the fight will begin without negotiation.  "The general has misunderstood. I have been stationed in Youzhou to guard against Wu Heng in the north. I really have no intention of confronting the imperial court! Yuan Shao was just the leader of the alliance when the princes were fighting against Dong. This time he has evil intentions and wants to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Zan really  I don¡¯t dare to join him, please ask the general to take a closer look!¡± Ma Chao frowned, knowing in his heart that Gongsun Zan was talking nonsense, but he was indeed the one who instigated Liu Yu to send troops to attack Gongsun Zan, and he was indeed unreasonable.  After a while, he pondered and said: "The matter has come to an end. We Ming people will not speak secretly, and I will not start a war in the territory of the Han Dynasty, which will cause the destruction of all the people! If you have any request, just ask for it." "Happy!" Gongsun Zan praised it.  ?With a loud voice, he continued: "The general cares about all the people, and I admire you! Since I am so honest, I have no intention of intervening in the dispute between the general and Yuan Shao, but I still ask the general to show his noble hand in the matter of Youzhou! Liu Yu will be mediocre.  Incompetent, colluding with foreign tribes, and having a disobedient heart for a long time. I am willing to take the post of Youzhou Mu, raise troops for the general to fight against it, and form an alliance with the general. From now on, we will not invade each other. If one day the general is on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan,  I am willing to surrender!" Ma Chao sneered: "Are you dreaming? Do you think I will agree to your unreasonable request? Liu Yu has governed Youzhou for many years, and the people have benefited a lot. When dealing with Wu Heng  On the contrary, as far as I know, your Gongsun Zan has often allowed his soldiers to commit plunder since he conquered Zhang Chun. In the past two years, he has also taken in powerful families who fled here from Jizhou and helped them in Youzhou.  The state annexed the land and oppressed the civilians. Today, in order to retreat, Liu Yu colluded with the Wuheng people to invade the border and plunder our Han people. This is an act of treason, how could I betray my conscience for my brother to fall into your hands?  Ignore your righteousness? You underestimate me, Ma Chao!" Gongsun Zan was speechless, and his tone hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the general really doesn't care about Ma Tie's life or death? If so, I will be happy to do it!  Ma Chao laughed loudly and said: "Everyone is destined to die. As long as he dies well, why not worry about dying early or late? Even if Ma Tie's head falls on the ground, he will die for the country and will be remembered in history!" He ignored Gongsun Zan, looked at Ma Tie and said loudly:  "Listen up, Ma Tie. As a general in charge of an army, you were captured because of your greed for merit and recklessness, resulting in thousands of Huns cavalry dying in battle. Your crime is not light. Even if you are not captured, I will deal with it according to the law of war and will never tolerate it!"  "Ma Tie's face was filled with shame, and his body was stained with blood. He said loudly: "What the elder brother taught me is that Ma Tie deserves his punishment and death is not a pity. I only hope that the elder brother can avenge Ma Tie and one day be able to behead Gongsun Zan!" Ma Chao felt soft!  , it is impossible to say that he does not care about Ma Tie's life, but as the top figure of a political group, his words and deeds will affect the future direction, at least he must do enough on the surface.  He immediately said: "Okay, you are worthy of being my brother of Ma Chao. Don't worry, if anything happens to you, I will sacrifice the heads of hundreds of members of Gongsun's family to you!" Gongsun Zan looked gloomy and looked at Ma Tie.  Thinking that Ma Chao didn't care about this brother at all, and never thought that Ma Chao had long been determined to kill him, his murderous intention increased greatly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "So, there is no room for things to go back and forth between us?  " Ma Chao said: "Of course, I'm afraid you can't recognize the situation and have to stand in the way and go against me!" Gongsun Zan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Ma Chao's strength too well, and Zhao Yun alone was not as good as him!  His strength is poor. If he comes in full force, the only option is to escape. Otherwise, he may not be able to hold on for even a month, and he will be defeated and killed.  Immediately he said: "General, please make it clear?" Ma Chao smiled slightly, Gongsun Zan is not absolutely necessary to be killed, as long as he does not affect his great cause, it is okay to let him live for a few more days.  He said loudly: "You have been away from the areas separated by the imperial court since the death of the late emperor. Although you have done no great harm over the years, you have made the lives of the people in several counties in Youzhou miserable. Now I will show you a way to survive, and I will also give you a life."  If you have the opportunity to make a meritorious service, I will go to the court to make you the king." Gongsun Zan was very happy. Although the Han Dynasty had no precedent of making someone other than Liu the king, if Ma Chao could defeat Yuan Shao and usurp the throne, it would be a good idea.  Sooner or later, by then, it was not a matter of his words to make him a king or a duke, so he immediately asked: "General, please give me a try!"  This area has always been a land of abundant water and grass. There is a large river running from northeast to southwest at the southern end of this prairie. There is a larger peninsula adjacent to the Liaodong Peninsula to the south of the river. Does General Gongsun know about this island?  He was most familiar with the area, and immediately said: "The general is talking about the small countries or tribes such as Fuyu, Goguryeo, Woju, Dongyi and other countries south of the Wangcheng River." "Of course!" Ma Chao said: "During the period of Emperor Gaozu, there were  The four counties of Zhenfan, Lintun, Xuantu and Lelang were established here. However, the good times did not last long. Due to the resistance of the local people and the inability of the court to reach them, Zhenfan and Lintun counties soon collapsed, and Xuantu County was also transferred to Liaodong.  The remaining Lelang County is also controlled by the local natives! " "As a minister of the late emperor Tuogu, he has always regarded the restoration of the Han Dynasty as his own mission. Now the territory conquered by his ancestors is occupied by the natives of Shanyue and Shuzhong.  They also oppress our Han people all the time, as well as Jiaozhi in the south, the Tianzhu and Kushan empires in the southwest, the countries in the Western Regions in the west, etc. The world is so big that it is far beyond our imagination, but our Han nation has no intention of opening up to the outside world.  , but they focus on killing each other, which is really heartbreaking! "Gongsun Zan has naturally heard of the places and countries surrounding the contemporary Han Dynasty that Ma Chao mentioned, but it is difficult for him to do so.Understanding Ma Chao's true intention, he cupped his fists and said, "The general's ambition is far beyond the reach of others! Gongsun Zan admires him very much, but he just doesn't know what the general's intention is when he says these words?" (To be continued.
