"Basic performance is not worthy of praise." Liu Tao is modest, but in Xu Sheng's view, he is pretending.

After a pause, he said to Xu Sheng: "Since everyone has sat down, I will give you a little insight. After that, Cao Cao, the governor of Sizhou, will take over for the time being. Whether it is the prefect or the county magistrate, he will be responsible for the assessment of promotion. .”

"You just have to do your job well." Xu Sheng said hastily, secretly happy in his heart, if it wasn't for Liu Tao's direct control, there is still hope.

"Work hard, I don't care about the background of the hire, how high you can climb depends on your ability." Liu Tao reminded.

"The next official must remember it in my heart!" Xu Sheng was touched in his heart when he heard this, and then he was sad: The problem is that I don't have much talent.

Chapter 470 Ma Teng Messenger

It is rare to have a night's rest in Shanxian County. The hot bath water, the bed that is not soft but comfortable to sleep on, and the dinner party is quite sumptuous, which is better than dry food. The mental outlook of the group on the second day looks very good.

"Who is the prefect of Hongnong?" Liu Tao had to ask on the way to Hongnong County.

"Wang Hong is a son of the Wang family in Taiyuan." Others didn't know, but Xun You knew, so he stepped forward and replied.

"Wang Clan of Taiyuan...Where is Wang Yun now?" Speaking of Wang Clan of Taiyuan, Liu Tao immediately thought of Wang Yun.

Of course, there are two well-known Taiyuan Wangs in my memory, one is the Hussar general of the Cao Wei period, Sikong Wang Chang; the other is Wang Yun's nephew, Wang Ling who was the official to the Taiwei of Cao Wei.

He doesn't like Wang Yun, but he doesn't mind taking these two people under his command in advance.Just considering the class positions of the two, it is estimated that it will be difficult to recruit two people, and at most one of them can be recruited.

"Shang Shu Ling Wang Yun's words..." Xun You thought for a while, "It seems that he has returned to Taiyuan and has not defected to anyone."

"Haha, didn't you come to Taiyuan to join me?" Liu Tao laughed, "Forget it, when I go back, when I pass by Taiyuan, I will pay a visit in person."

Then he looked forward and continued, "Since this Wang Hong is also a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he probably wouldn't seek refuge with Dong Zhuo. After all, everyone can see that the sun has set over there, so there is no need to bury them with him."

Sure enough, he arrived at the city of Hongnong and declared his name. Hongnong prefect Wang Hong personally opened the city to greet him not long after.

At the same time, he politely declined Wang Hong's invitation to go to the city to rest, but he did not refuse the dry food he provided.It's only noon now, and it's completely possible to arrive at the next stop, Hu County, before evening, so there's no need to waste a day here.

If you go to extremes, speed up your journey. At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, you will almost reach Huayin County, and then you will be in Jingzhaoyin's Zheng County.It's just that Liu Tao doesn't think it's necessary to rush so much, it's almost fine.

"Does the general plan to completely solve Dong Zhuo's remaining crimes this time?" After Wang Hong knew Liu Tao's plan, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. It's true that Sizhou is a state, but there are many counties under its jurisdiction.Not to mention, Dong Zhuo actually controls Liangzhou.

I thought Liu Tao just took down Hongnong County and stopped in front of Tongguan. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be planning to go all the way west!

"If I don't wipe out the entire Dong thief clan, I will feel uneasy!" Liu Tao laughed.

Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng, or Liangzhou or something, don't rush to fight, after all, Dong Zhuo's influence is not that great.

The main thing is to take down Chang'an, so the remaining small warlords don't care.Just leave it to Cao Cao, Guan Yu, or even Ma Teng to solve it slowly.

"The general is righteous, and I am ashamed of myself as an inferior official." Wang Hong was not good at commenting on the words, so he could only flatter him.

"The Taiyuan Wang family is famous for its loyalty." Liu Tao looked at Wang Hong, "You should manage Hongnong well and don't let me down. As long as you have enough talent, then I will have enough official position to seal you up."

"Your official understands!" Wang Hong was very happy, not because of his official position, but because of Liu Tao's comment that 'the Wang family is famous for its loyalty'.With this evaluation, the Taiyuan Wang family is destined to do well under Liu Tao's command.

"My lord wants to reuse the Taiyuan Wang family?" On the way to leave, Guo Jia couldn't help but ask curiously. According to his understanding of Liu Tao, this family doesn't attach much importance to the family.

"I can't really push all the world's aristocratic families to the opposite of me." Liu Tao teased.

In the final analysis, it is still worth a thousand dollars to buy horse bones. Of course, it is up to him whether to reuse the Wang family in the future.Taiyuan Wang may be famous for his loyalty, but there is no rule, he must be reused!

Guo Jia also smiled when he heard the words. Based on his knowledge of Liu Tao, he obviously guessed some of his thoughts.However, apart from Chen Gong, both Xin Pi and Xun You are from Yingchuan's aristocratic family, so it's not easy to reveal anything.

Going all the way west, stopping and going, the county towns I encountered did not resist, and most of them surrendered directly.One or two county magistrates were very polite, but it's hard to say what happened to Liu Tao after he left.

Anyway, the affairs of the local counties are handed over to the county guards, and the local county guards are handed over to Cao Cao.Because he is not a close friend, it may be difficult for Cao Cao to manage it, but if it is not difficult, Liu Tao will not entrust this place to him to manage.

"My lord, Ma Teng's envoy has arrived!" When he was about to arrive in Chang'an, a cavalry came from a distance. After finding out the identity of the opponent, Yang She came back to report.

To be honest, they were rushing at such a speed that the spies couldn't play a role at all, and they simply didn't send them out.Liu Tao also relied on his magic skills, so he came all the way recklessly.

At most, above Chang'an, put a scroll of Fenglong's insight, and included a radius of fifty miles into the scope of investigation.This step is basically stable.

"Greetings, General!" Ma Teng's soldiers came to Liu Tao and dismounted to salute.

"Well, get up!" Liu Tao nodded. There is no need to be so polite to ordinary soldiers. "Your general, where are you fighting now? Do you have anything to say?"

"Report to General!" The soldier replied, "General Ma has captured Longxi County and is gathering local officials. He is playing the name of General. As long as Longxi County settles down, we should continue to attack Hanyang and Wudu counties, and then we will attack the two counties of Wudu and Hanyang." An Ding and Beidi County."

"There is no need for Wu to be in such a hurry. The key is to take down the two counties of Anding and Beidi first, and ensure the smooth flow of business!" Liu Tao reminded that Beidi County is connected to Shangjun. Although it is also the territory of the Huns, Liu Tao is leaving now. The Huns did not dare to give way to that road.They will even come forward to restrain the tribes and make them more peaceful.

At the same time, because of this trade route, the Southern Xiongnu actually made a lot of money. Many goods that could not be bought before can now be sold.Goods that could not be sold before, such as cashmere, can now be sold at a good price.

Even, Liu Tao plans to purchase some grain in Xihe County in the future. After all, the Hetao area will definitely become a more important grain production area in Bingzhou in the future. If possible, it is best to take it back.

"After returning, the villain will definitely report to the general." The pawn replied, paused, and continued, "General Ma asked the villain to ask if we want to further attack Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng. At the same time , I also hope that the general can send some civil officials to help him govern the place."

"Well, go back and tell him that I appointed him as General Anxi, who will be in charge of Liangzhou. Later, I will appoint the governor of Liangzhou. The governor is in charge of politics, and he is in charge of commanding the army." Liu Tao replied.

Hearing the words, the soldier was somewhat confused. According to this meaning, Liu Tao obviously did not intend to let Ma Teng lead the military and political power in Liangzhou.It's just that this is beyond his control, and he can only say that he will report it to Ma Teng.

As for how Ma Teng would respond, whether to obey or simply occupy Liangzhou for independence, that was beyond his control.

Liu Tao inquired about the situation in Liangzhou again, gave the other party some food and money, and then sent the other party away...

Chapter 471 Ask the late emperor if he will forgive you

"My lord, Liangzhou is not yet stable. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to restrict Ma Teng's power at this time." After Ma Teng's envoy left, Guo Jia stepped forward to speak.

"I'm not used to it! I'm dissatisfied now. When Liangzhou is stabilized, why don't you sit down with me and negotiate terms." Liu Tao replied casually, "By the way, let's see, this guy wants to control Liangzhou to a great extent. Have the newly promoted princes in the whole territory swelled?"

"It turns out that the lord thinks far ahead." Guo Jia was stunned when he heard the words, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart: Just don't think too far, otherwise we will be the ones who suffer.

For Ma Teng, Liu Tao mainly looked at history and the evaluation of the Three Kingdoms, and felt that he was a Hanchen.Liu Tao thought he was a bit stupid, but he admired him for being able to become a warlord in Liangzhou and still have an edict to come to Xuchang as a guard.

The world will change, and people will change. It is hard to say whether he is a warlord who has not become an emperor, and whether Ma Teng is loyal to him.It is necessary to try it out. Besides, Sizhou is separated from the military and the government. Can Liangzhou be exempt from customs?

If his mentality changes, at least he can prevent it in advance. Anyway, it will take three to five years to prepare for a formal battle with him.In three to five years, not to mention regaining Liangzhou, it is enough to drive out Ma Teng's lineage.

If possible, it is best not to let him wait until this day, so as not to spoil his good impression of Ma Teng.

A day later, when the army arrived at the city of Chang'an, they obviously slowed down their march to give Chang'an enough time to prepare.The soldiers of all ministries have already sharpened their knives and are waiting for a big fight.

As a result, as soon as they arrived near the city, the soldiers in front came back and reported that Dong Min had arrived at the top of the city and had something to say to Liu Tao.

"I'm going to talk at this time, isn't it intended to surrender? Tell me, am I going to pretend I don't know?" Liu Tao looked at the several military advisers around him.

"..." Several military divisions smiled politely, but did not answer.If Chang'an were to surrender, it would definitely be the best for the situation, but it would definitely be uncomfortable for Liu Tao.

All the way west for what?It's nothing more than a quick fight, Dong Zhuo's division has expanded its recruitment, plus the Feixiong army, why are there [-] to [-]?Including Chang'an's garrison, there will always be nearly [-], right?

If one hits 10 points, even if one only has [-] experience points, it will be a million experience points, and one level can be upgraded on the spot.
