"Speaking of which, Yong is not very clear about the situation in Liangzhou, and I don't know if the general can explain it to a certain person."

Compared with the clear distinction between the princes of the world, Xiliang is indeed a big quagmire, although Xiliang is headed by Ma Teng and Han Sui, but the warlords below are intertwined vertically and horizontally, and they are replaced by others... For a while, it was really difficult to see through.

"It's good that Childe is willing to understand nature, speaking of Liangzhou... Let's start from the time of the second emperor Huan Ling.

At the time of the second emperor Huan Ling, there was a lot of chaos in Liangzhou, first there was the rebellion of Bian Zhang, and then Dong Zhuo's cholera world, followed by Li Dao and Guo Yan's civil strife, these ten years... Liangzhou has never been able to calm the war for a year, although Xiliang Erlang is brave all over the world, after this war and fighting, it is inevitable to end up in a situation of ten rooms and nine emptiness.

Nowadays, there are not Han'er in Liangzhou, but Qianghu. ”

"In recent years, with the rise of Cao Cao, coupled with Zhong Xuan's presence in Chang'an, Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui and others have a sense of crisis, although internal wars are continuous, but in the face of Cao's external enemy, many warlords in Xiliang can also be regarded as restrained... Although the common people below are poor, they have a guarantee of their heads. ”

The Central Plains has been in ten rooms and nine empty after several wars, and Xiliang has not been!

The golden iron horse and bloody style described in this barren land are not inferior to the grand scenery of the Central Plains.

"I'm not afraid of the general's jokes, for the land of Xiliang, I only know the names of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the land of Liangzhou is headed by these two people, but I don't know what the power of these two people is?"

With a wry smile, Zhang Yong asked with a bit of inquiry.

For Ma Teng and Han Sui, Zhang Yong is naturally like thunder, but it is limited to their statements and deeds, how huge is the power of Ma Teng and Han Sui during the Jian'an period... How many counties are occupied? Zhang Yong was indeed confused.

"Someone!

Give me some warm wine and some meat. ”

Instructed the waiters on the left and right to continue the wine and food, and Yang Ren drank a bowl of wine... Then he said: "Liangzhou is a narrow land of thousands of miles, governing Wuwei, Anding, Beidi, Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang, Wudu, Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye ten counties, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the situation in Liangzhou has been repeatedly eroded... The north is now completely occupied by the Qianghu and the Xiongnu, and the Wudu is based on our Han Dynasty, although Dunhuang, Jiuquan and Zhangye are far away from Guanzhong and the Central Plains, the situation is also strange, and the Qiang people, horse thieves, and Haoqiang are divided... Although there is a Chinese name, there is no Han truth. ”

"In addition to these five counties, Wuwei, Anding, Hanyang, Longxi, and Jincheng are the places where the forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui are located.

Ma Tengju is powerful and stable, gathering tens of thousands of troops... There is no shortage of brave men under his command, and Xiliang Iron is unparalleled in the world, and because of Ma Chao, he can carry the momentum of Zhuqiang... If it weren't necessary, I'm afraid no one would take the initiative to provoke Ma Teng. ”

"Then the remaining three counties of Jincheng, Longxi, and Hanyang are the forces of Han Sui and his vassal warlords, right?"

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he never thought that the situation in Liangzhou would be so corrosive, there were two bigwigs, Ma Teng and Han Sui, in... Liangzhou even lost the authority of the five counties.

"Yes and no!

What I said just now was Liangzhou, Ruo Ma Teng and Han Sui really lived in these five counties, but Gongzi underestimated these two people. can make Cao Cao scruples... How can the characters who have been wooed by many parties only have this ambition? ”

Looking at Zhang Yong, Yang Ren shook his head.

"Ma Teng and Han Sui got rid of these five counties, and they still have a lot of power in Sili, right Fufeng, left Feng Yi... It is also completely occupied by these two people.

Cao's in Guanzhong... It's just that he guarded Jing Zhaoyin, who was centered on Chang'an. ”

The Cao clan coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which can be said to be the first in the world, and there are few enemies in the Bing Feng. But in Guanzhong, a land of iron horses... In the end, it was Ma Teng and Han Sui who had the final say.

The reason why I didn't go to Chang'an... It's just that he has concerns, afraid of becoming the next Dong Zhuo... Li Dao and Guo Yan, once they give up the shackles, even if they are Cao's... I want to make a big mistake when I think about it.

"It's a momentum... Is that so? ”

Looking at the reflection in the wine on the case, Zhang Yong's gaze diverged a little. Coupled with the land of the two counties of Fufeng on the right and Feng Yi on the left, the forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui are no longer in the land of the next state, and Liangzhou has been continuously conquered for many years, so it has naturally trained countless elite soldiers and fierce generals.

If Fu Wan and the others can really say that Ma Teng... Iron-hearted help Liu Xie, after the defeat of the Cao army against the Sun-Wu coalition army, the general trend of the world... Or it will change because of this.

……

The junction of Hanyang and Wudu.

With the hooves of horses, about 3,000 iron horsemen galloped in the wind and snow, and stopped in front of a large mountain.

At the head were two men, one of whom was as rich as jade, but unspeakably resolute; The other person is a little younger, but he is also full of energy, extraordinary people, these two are the two brothers Ma Chao and Ma Dai.

"Big brother, the front is Qishan, after crossing Qishan, we will enter the boundary of Wudu, according to the previous agreement with Yang Ren, we need to station the army in the Qishan camp, and then lead the guards to Xiajiao. If the deal is reached, Yang Ren will transport grain here. ”

Pointing to the mountains and rivers in front of him, a trace of sigh flashed in Ma Dai's eyes, although he also belongs to Liangzhou, the scenery of Wudu and the desolate and flat northwest are indeed unique, making people forget to return.

"Just do what Yang Ren asked, and the army sped up and temporarily stationed in the Qishan camp. Speaking of brothers, he is also very curious, how capable this third son of the Zhang family is, worthy of Yang Ren's attention and caution. ”

In previous years, Pound came to buy grain... Most of the trading locations were in Lankeng Xiaoyi, and although Yang Ren was on guard, he was limited to collecting weapons. I never thought... This year, he personally led the army to come, just in time for Zhang Yong to come..., not to mention changing the place of the transaction, but also asking the army to be stationed outside. Of course, Ma Chao was not angry at Yang Ren's request, and it was a blessing to be able to buy food at this time of wind and snow.

As long as you can take care of the rations of your subordinates, what is it if you spend a little twists and turns.

"Drive..."

The north wind howled, rolling up the snowstorm and completely covering the marks on the snow.

……

"Childe, General Yang Ren sent someone to report, Ma Chao has already entered Xia Zhi with people, and now General Yang Ren and Xia Ren County Commander are entertaining... Let's get there. ”

The wind and snow outside the house are much colder than in later generations, of course, no matter how cold it is, it can't be as cold as the Siberian kind, but Zhang Yong estimated that it was minus 20 degrees, and there should be one at this moment.

Except for the necessary release time, Zhang Yong almost wrapped himself in the house for the past two days, leaning on the brazier and reading... Kid's Day is also a unique flavor.

"Oh! Ma Chao has arrived! ”

Standing up, Zhang Yong's spirit trembled, and he didn't even notice the cold wind whistling in outside the house.

"That's right! All the way to the iron riding vertically and horizontally, just a few days on the ice and snow galloping hundreds of miles, Xiliang iron riding... It's a name for itself. ”

With the weather at this time, it is still difficult to travel as an ordinary cavalryman, let alone travel for several days...

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting."

Put on a coat and a sword... Zhang Yong led Meng Qiu and several guards to rush towards the direction of the county office.

"The general will drink some hot tea to warm up first, I have sent someone to inform the third son, I want to come for a while... The third son will be here. ”

In the county office, Yang Ren and Li Yao, the county commander, looked at Ma Chao and Ma Dai on the opposite side and said with a smile on their faces.

I have to say that the sincerity given by Ma Teng for the purchase of grain this time is full, in addition to Ma Chao's personal visit, the big cars of money outside the county government... It's a pleasure to watch.

"There's no hurry, and it's not a moment!"

Laughing back, Ma Chao picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully, obviously not planning to have a deep chat with Yang Ren and Li Yao.

“... Along the way, passing through many Juyi and Yishe, the cooking smoke is filled, and General Yang and Li Xianling are really well governed, compared to Hanyang, Anding and other places..."

hinted at Ma Chao's eyes, and seeing that Ma Chao was still unmoved, Ma Dai sighed helplessly and smiled... chatted with Yang Ren and Li Yu painlessly.

The eldest brother's temperament is still like this, although Yang Ren and Li Yao are not the main masters, but they are also important ministers in Hanzhong, although Zhang Yong is showing his grandeur, but he still needs to listen to Yang Ren and Li Yao's opinions on the major rights and wrongs.

"Let the little general smile, Wudu has this scene thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of the lord, and we don't dare to take credit. It's a little general, who has such martial arts at a young age, and he is really extraordinary, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future..."

What kind of character Ma Chao is, not to mention that everyone in the world knows, at least most of the people in Liangzhou know it, so Yang Ren and Li Yao don't have any other ideas.

He arched his hand to the east and complimented Ma Dai a few words.

With the two gods of Ma Chao and Pang De leading the way, I have to say that the qualifications of Ma's generation are good, just like Ma Dai in front of him, who is only twenty years old and is already in the late stage of refining, and has created a great reputation in Liangzhou.

On the other hand, Hanzhong... Except for a little wealth, it's really hard to say.

However, I heard that the third prince went to Brazil County to find two seedlings this time, and if they can grow up quickly, they can also help them share some of the pressure.

Touching his beard, Yang Ren looked outside the house.

……

Outside the county office.

Stepping on a foot of deep snow, Zhang Yong led Meng Qiu and a few people to the gate of the county ya, looking at the large boxes of several carts and more than 100 cavalrymen dressed as Qiang people standing at the door.

Compared with the elite cavalry in Hanzhong, I have to say that these Xiliang cavalry in front of me look more burly and powerful, and the sharp, iron-blooded aura is like a sharp blade... Grab someone's head at any time.

"Childe, these people are Ma Chao's personal guards, and many of them are from Qiang people."

Looking at the cavalry in front of him, Meng Qiu rarely showed a trace of heaviness, so majestic... It is by no means weaker than the tiger and leopard riding of the Cao family.

"Hmmm! Let someone prepare some food and drink for them to warm up! ”

Nodding, Zhang Yong gave an order to the two guards beside him, and led Meng Qiu into the county office.
