Liu Ping urgently transferred back to Xu Huang, and asked him to lead more than 10,000 troops and horses under his command with Zhang Liao, marching to the northwest, passing through Fufeng County and arriving at Tianshui County.

This place is not only the outpost of the future Shu Han and Wei, but also the gateway to block the Western Liang army from entering Guanzhong.

Originally, Tai Shici was stationed in Nan'an County, and Liu Ping also ordered him to be transferred to Tianshui, so that there would be more than 16,000 soldiers in one place.

When the army drove into Tianshui City, Liu Ping was very surprised to see that there were people walking on the road, and there were several shops on both sides of the road that were open.

I think that although it was a remote place before, it became a good thing in this era of war, at least the princes from all walks of life would not look at it, so the war it experienced was slightly lighter, so it was quite densely populated.

When his army entered the city, a number of men who looked like officials came to meet him.

"In the lower Tianshui, I will guard Ma Zun and meet the king."

Liu Ping's face was calm, and his tone was a little cold: "This king is ordered by the imperial court to guard Guanzhong, do you still know this king?" ”

In fact, there was no owner in Guanzhong before, and most of the counties in Yongzhou were in a state of self-reliance.

Later, Liu Ping led 10,000 people into Guanzhong, and everyone still watched separately.

After all, it is impossible for Wan Jiangren to control such a large territory in Guanzhong, who knows how long he, the king, can stay in Guanzhong, so no one cares about him.

However, immediately after Liu Ping ordered Zhang Liao to defeat Guo's 20,000 troops, successfully subdued Wei's Dushi and other gate lords, and searched out tens of thousands of people from the mountains, and began to Tuntian near Chang'an, so that there was a posture to take root in Guanzhong, and all the county guards in Yongzhou did not dare to underestimate it.

Previously, many people went to Chang'an to apologize for their previous faux pas, but this Ma Zun still did not go.

"In your eyes, is there no king, or no court?" Liu Pingping said coldly.

Behind Zhang Liaoxu shook his waist and straddled the long sword, majestic.

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the people of Guanzhong have been poisoned, and it is not easy to expect Wang Situ to do righteous deeds, but he was troubled by Li Dao Guo Yan," Ma Zun said without humility or arrogance: "Ma Mou, as the guard of a county, can protect the people from infringement, which is the greatest loyalty to the court, even if he neglects the king, Ma will bear it with all his might." ”

Ma Zun knew that Liu Ping was here to find fault.

But he was born with hard bones, and he didn't slap his beard and shoot horses, he didn't go to see Liu Ping when he first came, and when he saw that people had put down their heels and then went forward, he had a sense of fear of power and wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

"Ma Mou's heart is for the people, not for the official, if the king feels that Ma can't bear the responsibility of being too guarded, he can change it."

Now that Guanzhong is the king of Qin, he does not need to go through the imperial court to change the county guard.

"What did Ma Gong say?" Liu Ping then smiled slightly, like a spring breeze.

If this horse obeys the scriptures and grovels when he is frightened, he will be looked down upon, but it is the arrogance of this heart for the people and not for the official, which makes Liu Ping admire in his heart.

He stepped forward and said: "When this king first entered Guanzhong, he thought that Guanzhong was deserted, but today when he arrived in Tianshui, he knew that there was such a happy land in Guanzhong, which is thousands of miles away.

How fortunate it is to have such a county guard as Ma Gong under the command of this king.

Ma Gong governs Tianshui, which is also a blessing for the people. ”

Ma Zun's words stunned him on the spot, and he didn't understand why the young king's face changed so quickly.

But when he saw Liu Ping's expression and tone, it was extremely sincere, not like a fake, and his eyes turned slightly red after a while.

How difficult is it for him to organize a group of villagers to defend the people in a place surrounded by wolves?

In fact, Tianshui is not a happy land, he just tries his best to protect the people from small groups of bandits, and when a large group of bandits come, they can only rely on their own group of soldiers to be brave and hard-boned, and they can break each other's two teeth with their lives, hoping that the other party will not come again.

Now that he sees so many regular soldiers of the imperial court with a clean military appearance, Tianshui has finally become the place where the imperial court is king, how can he not like it in his heart?

"Great King," Ma Zun's voice trembled a little: "I hope that the king can enter the main pass for a long time, but every time I look forward to it, it is a jackal, tiger and leopard, so I can only gather the people to protect myself."

To tell the truth, when the king first came, his troops were a little insufficient, and he didn't dare to entrust the people of a county.

Whoever wants the king to be strong and strong, and to do all kinds of benevolent and righteous things, so that all the people will return to their hearts, will be extremely happy in their hearts.

Guanzhong finally met the master, and the people had hope. ”

While speaking, Ma Zun actually fell to the ground, tears flowed, and he looked very excited, he did not deliberately curry favor with King Qin, but King Qin recognized his merits, which made him feel like he had met a soulmate.

"Ma Gong is polite," Liu Ping hurriedly helped Ma Zun up, "Ma Gong is dedicated to the people, which really makes us ashamed." ”

Ma Zun stabilized his mood for a moment, and then pointed to the crowd behind him: "I will introduce the officials under my command to the king."

This is the main book Yin reward, this is the main record of Liang Qian, and this is the gong Cao Jiang Yin. ”

"Wait a minute," Liu Ping stopped Ma Zun, then looked at Jiang Yin, who was in his thirties, and asked, "I wonder how old Ling Lang is this year?" ”

Jiang Jian was stunned, and he didn't know why the king suddenly asked about his son, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Little Jiang Wei, he is seven years old this year."

Xiao'er had heard about the king's deeds before, and he admired the king very much, and always shouted to go and see him. ”

"Ling Lang is very discerning, and he will become a great weapon in the future," Liu Ping said with a smile: "Tell that little guy that he can come to this king at any time." ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, thank you in advance for the next generation of children," Jiang Jian didn't understand why Liu Ping, as the lord of Guanzhong, was so polite to his seven-year-old son.

Liangzhou City, in the Assassin's Office.

"Brother Xian, have you brought all your military horses with you?" Han Sui said to Ma Teng in front of him.

Although these two people are married to Jin Lan, they are both Xiliang warlords, and they beg for food in one place, and there will inevitably be a lot of friction among their subordinates.

It's just that these two bigwigs are pressing on it, and for a while, the people below have not made trouble to the point of fighting each other.

If Liu Ping does not go to Guanzhong, according to the progress of history, the two sides will also fight each other and make a lot of trouble.

However, after Liu Ping gained a foothold in Guanzhong, the two of them felt threatened at the same time, so they united and hated the same enemy.

"Brother rest assured," Ma Teng is a few years younger than Han Sui, and his qualifications as a warlord are shallower than Han Sui, so he is a younger brother, "The younger brother not only brought 50,000 military horses, but also my son Ma Chao, nephew Ma Dai, and the general Pang De, all have the courage of ten thousand people."

Fighting against that Liu Ping, he will definitely be able to fight and level Guanzhong and drive Xiao'er back to the Central Plains. ”

"Well, Meng Qi and Ling Ming Zhiyong, I know," Han Sui nodded and said, "But the virtuous brother can't be underestimated, and Liu Ping's strength can't be underestimated."

His subordinates Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang are not ordinary people.

And he is Cao Cao's son-in-law, now Cao's army swept Hebei, Cao Mengde has occupied Yong, Yan, Henan, Hebei, Qing, You, Xu Qizhou, half of the Han Dynasty has been in his hands, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the world is no longer able to compete with Cao's people. ”

"Before the war started, why was my brother timid first?" Ma Teng's eyebrows raised: "How can this battle be fought?" ”

"It's not cowardice, the situation is like this," Han Sui sighed: "I'm waiting for the troops, even if we can defeat Liu Ping, but the Cao army behind him keeps killing him, how can you and I get by?" ”

"So, brother thinks it's okay for us to surrender directly," Ma Teng's face became quite playful, and he said with a sneer: "Isn't that right, Liang Gong?" ”

"You sent someone to spy on me!" Han Sui just filmed the case.

"Didn't you send someone to spy on me?"
