Chapter 6: Handy knife

When Ma Teng and Han Sui entered Chang'an with Guo Jia, Han Sui didn't know what Ma Teng thought, but Han Sui's heart was like falling into an ice cellar.

There are four great guards in Guanzhong, which is why Guanzhong gets its name.

Guo Jia has already succeeded in Sanguan west.

The Xiaoguan in the north is related to the defense system of the Great Wall, and it is useless to block the foreign tribes from the north from the north even if Guo Jia did not occupy it, because Xiaoguan strategically defends the north unless Guo Jia advances north or Han Sui leads the Qiang, Hu Xianbei to the south.

Hangu Pass to the east is in Sizhou, which will intimidate Hedong and Hongnong counties. The emperor is now in Hedong. To the north, it is the place where the Southern Huns occupy it. Zhang Ji is in Hongnong. If you want to occupy Hangu Pass, you must not offend the emperor. Secondly, you must drive Zhang Ji away and even deal with the Southern Huns.

In the south, Guo Jia sent Yan Yan to occupy it.

From a strategic perspective, Guo Jiaxi took San Pass, occupied Wu Pass in the south, and captured Chang'an, the land of the Three Auxiliary was already his possession.

Han Sui didn't expect Guo Jia to move so quickly, and now, Guo Jia's purpose is obvious.

In name, it is to rescue the emperor, but in fact it is to expand the territory.

He had already coveted the land of Guanzhong, but now what could he do? On the way out of Chen Cang to Chang'an, Guo Jia had only 30,000 people, but now? In Chang'an, the three generals Xu Chu and Gan Ning's Yinling Flying Cavalry, Guo Jia had more than 50,000 troops, and Han Sui had only 35,000. Even if he and Ma Teng had 60,000, this was not a plain field battle, and their Xiliang Iron Cavalry could play the space.

After several days of cleaning, Chang'an has burned the bodies and swept away the filth. It is indeed much cleaner, but it is still dead and desolate.

Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Fa Zheng set up a formation to welcome Guo Jia, which is more solemn than the previous scenes. This is Fa Zheng's idea, and the purpose is to show Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Ma Teng was worried about the emperor and urged Guo Jia to ask about the battle situation ahead along the way. Guo Jia answered him truthfully and did not hide it.

Han Suixin was bleeding, but he still forced a smile to congratulate Guo Jia's general Gan Ning for winning the victory.

The imperial palace in Chang'an was already ruined. It was destroyed by war two hundred years ago because Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the palace was not repaired much. After Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou occupied Chang'an, the emperor had not lived in the palace for a few days. Most of them were stolen like a puppet, living in the camp.

Guo Jia looked at the palace that had become ruins with some emotion. His mansions in Chengdu are much better than here.

"Lord, Li Jue Guo Si and his generals' families have been controlled. What should we do?"

Fa Zheng was in charge of Chang'an administration. Xu Chudian and Wei Gaoshun might not have imagined these things, but he immediately controlled these people after entering Chang'an.

Guo Jia glanced at Ma Teng and Han Sui beside him and said lightly: "Li Jue and Guo Si's family will be punished according to the laws of the Han Dynasty and the three tribes of the Yi tribes. The families of other generals will not be investigated except for the crime of treason for rebellion and punishment. If you violate other laws, you will be punished according to the crime."

After saying that, Fa Zheng left to handle the matter. Guo Jia observed the expressions of Ma Teng and Han Sui. Ma Teng showed a slight relief expression, but Han Sui had no expression on his face.

There should always be someone who wants to do it. The three tribes of Yi are important, but if Guo Jia does not give this order, he will be deemed to the demographic.

Not only did Li Jue and Guo Si look down on the emperor, but they acted like a rebellion. They also used all kinds of oppression to treat the people. The three tribes sounded cruel and injustice, but countless people would applaud.

Guo Jia is not merciful and has no right to be a leader without a strong fist, let alone compete for the world.

Taking a casual look at the dilapidated palace, Guo Jia turned around and left.

Even if it is a ruin, as long as it is called the palace, Guo Jia cannot go in casually.

The cleaning work in the city has continued recently. Before the order in the city was completely restored, Guo Jia lived in the city camp.

At night, it was quiet in Chang'an City. Han Sui suddenly came to Ma Teng's tent. The two of them sent everyone back and had a secret talk.

Han Sui really couldn't sit still and had to find out what Ma Teng was thinking.

"Brother Shoucheng, are you really determined to work hard for Guo Jia?" Han Sui's face was a little gloomy. After all, he did not find out what kind of benefits he could get from the killing of Li Jue and Guo Si.

Ma Teng stared at Han Sui for no reason and asked back: "When did I say I would serve Guo Jia?"

The military was subject to Guo Jia's command, which was to achieve the goal of saving the emperor. After achieving the goal, everyone naturally parted ways.

Han Sui felt that Ma Teng was pretending to be confused, and came to Ma Teng in anger, staring at him and asked, "Don't you understand the situation now? Did Guo Jia save the emperor? No, but he took down the three auxiliary places in Guanzhong. He, in the name of saving the lord, he practiced the reality of expanding the territory."

As Han Sui stared at him, Ma Teng looked away, walked to the side and sat down, sighed, and said, "Guo Jia'an has a good attitude and has a strategy for governance. It is not a bad thing to leave it here to govern. As for the emperor, whether Guo Jia really only occupied the city and did not rescue the emperor, it is too early to make a conclusion. Li Jue and Guo Si are about to fall. Let's take a look at what Guo Jia will do next."

It is impossible for Guo Jia to ignore the emperor, and Ma Teng was also worried, but he couldn't just enter Chang'an and hoped that Guo Jia would fly to Sizhou to welcome him. Li Jie and Guo Si have not been really wiped out yet.

Ma Teng, who was not in trouble, seemed to be only worried about the emperor, and Han Sui could not speak out in a blunt manner. He could not find nothing when sending troops. He was angry and anxious and asked in a deep voice: "What about Li Jue and Guo Si? What should I do with you? At that time, Guo Jia occupied the land of the three auxiliary personnel and then took the entire Guanzhong into his pocket. He was more difficult than Li Jue and Guo Si. Can you and I have to go back to Xiliang?" He didn't jump.

Ma Teng laughed and comforted him, "Oh, isn't this matter simple? We welcome the emperor back, everyone is a Han minister, Guo Jia was in a high position and was also a hero. If my brother Tai didn't want to stay in Xiliang, he would come to Chang'an to be an official and enjoy his happiness."

Han Sui was so angry that he smoked his orifices and left Ma Teng's tent with a tense face.

The next morning, Guo Jia invited Ma Teng and Han Sui to discuss matters in the tent of the Daying Commander in the city.

After the three important figures from the family arrived, Guo Jia sat in the main seat, first exchanged greetings, and then stood up to display the topographic map of the Three Auxiliary Land in front of everyone.

Pointing to the east of Chang'an, Guo Jia looked at Ma Teng and Han Sui who were sitting on the ground and said, "Two generals, please look here. Now Li Jue and Guo Si are leading less than 20,000 defeated generals to return to Chang'an along the straight road. I would like to ask the two generals to lead the Western Liang cavalry under your command to send troops from Chang'an, and go from the south to their south and behind. There is Weishui in the north and south. They have no way to retreat from the north and east, so they can only escape in the direction of Chang'an. If the two generals can intercept the two people on the road, it will be a great achievement. If not, I will lead the infantry and the two generals in Chang'an to kill the two thieves. After the matter is done, we will lead the army to pay homage to the emperor. We will reward the merits and the two generals will be the first to achieve the merits."

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Ma Teng showed excitement on his face. Han Sui was still thinking, but Gan Ning, who was sitting behind, got up and went out to hold his fists and said, "Lord, the last general can lead the Yinling Flying Cavalry to complete the lord's orders, and there is no need to rush to drive the two generals. This is my last general who is willing to take this for you."

When Han Sui, who was still hesitating, he suddenly realized in his heart: Killing Li Jue and Guo Si is definitely a great contribution. If he goes to the emperor to ask for me, it is no problem to be named a marquis and a general.

"Xingba, don't show off your strength. In terms of cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world. You only have 10,000 cavalry, and in terms of number, you are not as good as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the command of the two generals. You are not showing off your strength and competitive at this moment, don't miss the military plane and retreat."

Guo Jiayi sternly repelled Gan Ning. Gan Ning was dissatisfied and retreated unwillingly, with a gloomy face.

"I wonder what the two generals mean?" Guo Jia put away his serious expression and asked Ma Teng and Han Sui gently.

Ma Teng agreed and clasped his fists and replied, "I will take the order from you and you will definitely kill these two thieves."

After thinking about weighing the pros and cons, Han Sui agreed.

Li Jue and Guo Si are defeated generals, and after a series of defeats, they are no longer in a state of decline. Han Sui and Ma Teng led the high-spirited Western Liang cavalry to fight and will surely win the battle. Therefore, the risk of this battle is very low. Han Sui also wants to make some contributions and will have confidence to go to the emperor to seek rewards.

After receiving the military order, Han Sui and Ma Teng left the general's tent. Han Sui had 20,000 cavalry under his command, Ma Teng had 10,000, and 30,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry were enough to wipe out Li Jue and Guo Si's entire army.

"Lord, can you give them this credit?"

Although Xu Chu admitted that the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was slightly better in terms of quantity and combat power, he was a little unhappy to see that the credit was picked by others.

Guo Jia smiled and didn't answer. Gan Ning, who had a gloomy face just now, smiled heartily and said, "Zhongkang, I came from Liangzhou to help the lord with help. I always have to give them a chance to perform."

"Wen Yuan, mobilize the archers and are ready to fight at any time."

Guo Jia did not use crossbow soldiers because it was not yet time, archers were enough for Li Jue and Guo Si who were defeated.

As the civil and military dispersed, Guo Jia looked at the map and looked at the place in Hedong County.

The emperor should be in Hedong County now.

"If you don't let you make some military achievements, how could you go east with me?"

If the credit for the extermination of Li Jue and Guo Si is all on Guo Jia, will Han Sui and Ma Teng give up after defeating Li Jue and Guo Si? Guo Jia is not sure, so they must give them military achievements and go to Sizhou together at that time.

As for whether to see the emperor or have other plans, only Guo Jia knew it in his heart.

Han Sui and Ma Teng left Chang'an with the Western Liang cavalry, and their infantry were all left in Chang'an by the generals.

If Guo Jia stabbed them in the back at this time, it would be easy for him to kill them.

But Guo Jia doesn't. They are nominally allies, and betrayal is a villain's behavior, and they will be despised by the world.

Besides, for Guo Jia, Ma Teng and Han Sui are two very useful knives.

One is for the emperor and the other is for the benefit of the people. In fact, he is very afraid of Guo Jia but has to be used.
