Chapter 56 Arrival in Hanoi
Ma Chao led his army down the Mangshan Mountain, went straight down the Luo River, arrived on the edge of the Yellow River, hired ships to cross the Yellow River, and went straight to Hanoi County.
It took them half a month to arrive in Wude County under the Hanoi County system. When they entered this place, Ma Chao and others were finally safe.
Ma Chao's small team had just raised their banners and had only been walking for a few miles. On the official road, smoke and dust rolled, and a cavalry rushed towards him. In a blink of an eye, they had already arrived near the point where the flags were flying. The two big flags on the head were embroidered with the characters "Gao" and "Zhang".
"Meet the Master Ma." The visitor was Gao Shun, the two generals Zhang and Liao. The cavalry team stopped several meters away. The soldiers of the three armies dismounted neatly and bowed to the left of the road.
Seeing this, Ma Chao quickly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to hold the hands of the two, and smiled and said, "You and I are friends of life and death, and we will be called brothers in the future. All the traditional Chinese and Confucian festivals will be spared."
"Brothers, please get up quickly!" Ma Chao, holding his hands, looked at the soldiers of the three armies in front of him, and shouted loudly.
"Thank you, Grand Tutor!" The soldiers of the three armies said in unison.
It turned out that when Zhang Liaogao Shun led his army to Luoyang and entered Hanoi, he learned from Empress Dowager He that Ma Chao's current real official position, so they would be called the Taifu.
After the two sides finished the ceremony, Gao Shun said: "Meng Qi, we are tired all the way, let's go back to the county hall first and then talk."
"Brother Gao, please!" Ma Chao nodded happily and stepped onto the war horse.
Zhang Liaofei flew on his horse and shouted: "The back team turns into the front team and return to the city!"
When the soldiers of the three armies heard the order, they moved with a loud bang and started to march.
Ma Chao rode on the horse, and saw that the three armies were in a prosperous state, high morale, and distinct weapons and armor. He couldn't help but secretly praised Gao Shun and Zhang Liao for their good leadership.
At this time, Gao Shun rode on the side. Pang De said: "As soon as we crossed the Yellow River, you led your army to welcome him. Could it be that there is your horse probing on the edge of the Yellow River?"
Gao Shun nodded and said, "What General Pang said is exactly. Since I was stationed in Wude, Wen Yuan and I discussed it. In order to get your news in time, I set up a secret spy on the edge of the Yellow River. I just heard that I knew you were back."
When he returned to the gate of Wude County, Zhang Liao came to the front of him and asked for instructions: "Meng Qi, are the soldiers stationed in the school ground?"
When Ma Chao saw Zhang Liao coming to ask for instructions, he knew that he was expressing his obedience to him and his intention to obey the order. Ma Chao was happy and said loudly: "Everything will be the same, and I will take all my brothers to the camp."
When Pang De heard Ma Chao's shouting, he immediately rode out and shouted: "Brothers, follow General Zhang."
The 300 soldiers Ma Chao brought from Xiliang are now only two hundred and three people alive, but these people are definitely confidants. Ma Chao's arrangements meant to treat everyone equally.
Zhang Liao received the order of general and led all the soldiers of the battalion to the schoolyard to station.
Gao Shun led a team of personal soldiers, Ma Chao and others to the county hall. Seeing that Ma Chao had sent all the soldiers to Zhang Liao, only three soldiers who looked thin were left behind, Gao Shun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
It was not until he entered the county hall that Ma Chao said: "Brother Gao, I guess he didn't realize that the three of them are women, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Shun hurriedly looked at Diao Chan and the other two. Although the three of them were wearing military uniforms and their faces were covered with dust, when he looked carefully, he really looked more and more like a woman. At the same time, he also understood why Ma Chao took them away.
Then Ma Chao introduced Diao Chan and the other two to him. When he heard that Ma Chao was saved by Diao Chan, Gao Shun bowed and said, "Miss is the life-saving benefactor of Brother Ma, and my Gao Shun's benefactor. If he is sent in the future, Shun will do his best to do it."
Pang De had known that Ma Chao and Diao Chan had already felt affection. He would hear Gao Shun and say the same thing he said that day, and quipped: "General Gao, this is not new, Ride said that way, but now he thinks, even if you don't express your opinion, as long as the future mistress sends a word, I'm afraid you will have to do it with all your heart!"
Gao Shun was stunned at first, then woke up and smiled embarrassedly, "No, it's true."
"The two are both Meng Qi's brothers, and from now on, Chan'er's brothers. Since they are a family, there is a reason for their assignment. In the future, they will ask their brothers to take care of each other!" Diao Chan reached out and held the pocket on her head in her hand, bowed to Gao Shun with a smile, and also admitted her thoughts.
This was very comfortable to hear by Gao Shun and Pang De. They were also happy for Ma Chao to meet such a sensible woman.
"Haha, I'll tell you that, Gao Shun will recognize you, girl." Gao Shun laughed loudly and answered repeatedly.
Ma Chao did not expect that Diao Chan would win Gao Shun and Pang De into her own line as soon as she arrived. She naturally praised her intelligence.
"Girl thanks Brother Gao." Diao Chan finally saw the person Ma Chao saved, and she felt so generous and kind. Seeing Diao Chan's sweet-mouthed mouth, Gao Shun naturally had more care for this new girl.
"Brother Gao, can you arrange someone to let them go and wash them first? I have to go to see the Queen Mother first." Ma Chao knew that Diao Chan and the others wanted to do the most, afraid that they would take a shower and combed.
Gao Shun nodded while he was still there, and hurriedly ordered his servants to lead Diao Chan and the other two to go to the backyard to wash. After they left, Gao Shun said: "Meng Qi, the Empress Dowager lives in the side yard, please come with me."
"Brother Gao, how is the Queen Mother's mood recently? Do you all know what happened in the court?" Ma Chao asked while walking in the corridor.
"The poster report of the new emperor ascended the throne was delivered a few days ago. There was also a poster report of the death of the late emperor. However, the newspaper actually said that the emperor was killed by Meng Qi, and that Dong Zhuo, a traitor, really dared to frame him." Gao Shun was angry and continued: "Fortunately, we have the edict of the late emperor and the empress dowager's intention. Fortunately, we sent it to all places in time. I believe that the princes in the world will have a clear decision after seeing our edict first and then receiving the poster report from Dong Zhuo."
