Liangzhou is very vast and long.

Because of the topography, it is divided into several areas. The two largest areas are the Hexi region and the Longxi region.

The so-called Guanxi princes refer to the princes west of Tongguan.

Because of Ma Tengtun Binghuaili, this place is one of the three counties in Guanzhong, commonly known as "Sanfu". At the end of the Han Dynasty, hundreds of people in the Sanfu area entered Bashu to avoid trouble.

Ma Chao inherited Ma Teng's army, land, and population, so the soldiers and horses were in Guanzhong.

Han Sui is in the Longyou area, and the nest is in Jincheng.

In the Daliangzhou area, in addition to Ma Chao and Han Sui, there are more than ten princes, more than 10,000 troops, and thousands of small ones.

In history, Cao Cao gathered troops to the west in the name of fighting Hanzhong, and more than ten princes such as Ma Chao and Han Sui broke through Chang'an and Tongguan and fought with Cao Cao.

Later, Cao Cao used a discord strategy to destroy Ma Chao and Han Sui's army.

In addition to Ma Chao, Han Sui and the rest of the more than ten princes, there are also powerful Qianghu tribes in this Guanxi region, some of these tribes are farming, and some are living on grass.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are very prestigious among these Qianghu tribes, and they can command Qianghu. And the reason why Ma Teng Han Sui's power is so great is because there are many Qianghu cavalry in the army.

And in this huge Kansai region, in fact, the Han people are very scarce.

All in all, this is a chaotic land, and Cao Cao does not currently control this land. In fact, since the Han Dynasty, there have been very few dynasties that have been able to completely control Liangzhou.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people have betrayed for a century. Ma Teng and Han Sui started when the Qiang people betrayed.

At present, Chang'an and Tongguan in the Kansai region are still under Cao Cao's control.

There was a very important position in the Han Dynasty, and that was the commander of the school.

The so-called Lieutenant Sili is the prosecutor who is in charge of and monitors the Gyeonggi region, and has a certain degree of independent military power. The jurisdiction of Sili Lieutenant is Fufeng County, Fengyi County, Jingzhao County, Hedong County, Henan County, Hongnong County, and Hanoi County.

The range is related to the Central Plains, Luoyang Basin, etc. It was the richest county in the entire world of the Han Dynasty and the core area of the dynasty.

Cao Cao sent an important lieutenant to the school and stationed in Chang'an.

Zhong Xuan did not have much military power, but relying on his excellent diplomatic skills, he was able to contact Ma Teng and Han Sui, and let Ma Teng and Han Sui be attached.

During the Battle of Guandu, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not help Yuan Shao, and Zhong Xuan also provided Cao Cao with thousands of war horses. After the Battle of Guandu, even Ma Teng, Han Sui also sent troops to help Cao Cao and defeated the forces of Shi Gaogan.

stabilized Cao Cao's west with a civil servant, this is Zhong Xuan, the captain of Sili.

After the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Chang'an was already dilapidated, but under the governance of Zhong Xuan, it also regained some vitality. At least the city is new and strong, and there are quite a few people in the city.

After all, Chang'an is also Chang'an, and businessmen from all over the world gather here, which is quite lively.

But at this moment, the Kansai region, which had been stable for many years, began to surge.

In a wine shop in Chang'an.

Because the Qianghu were strong, and the Han were weak. Many liquor shops in Chang'an City sell food in the western style. This liquor shop mainly sells mutton.

There are ordinary wines, as well as Mishi wine.

Because of the delicious mutton, many businessmen like to come here to eat, and it is a place where people gather.

It's noon at the moment, and there are a lot of people eating. Among them was a table of people, burly, with a sword, speaking a Liangzhou dialect, looking as if they were Liangzhou merchants.

"Brothers, the world is going to be in chaos. After this sale, I gave up and went back home to spend the rest of my life. One of the red-faced men said.

"Brother Wang, how do you say this? You must know that now Prime Minister Cao Cheng has swept away the Yuan clan and gone south to Jingzhou, and the unification of the world is just around the corner. The princes of Kansai also surrendered. Why is it going to be messed up? Another black-faced man said.

"Hey, you don't want to think about it either. If Prime Minister Cao Cheng sweeps Jingzhou and Yangzhou, who will be the next target? Isn't it the Kansai princes? I heard that Prime Minister Cao Cheng is now in Jingzhou, but there is no naval army. The Guan family and Jiangdong continued to harass Jingzhou County, and the prime minister was anxious. The princes of Kansai took advantage of this opportunity and were ready to move. Anding was too guarded by Yang Qiu, partial general Ma Chao, general Han Sui of Zhengxi, and the rest of Cheng Yi, Liang Xing and others all dispatched their own troops. ”

The red-faced man said.

"Really?" The black-faced man was surprised.

"Absolutely." The red-faced man said.

There is nothing surprising about this black-faced man and red-faced man, they can be seen everywhere, but what they say is very shocking. When the people around heard about it, they thought about it.

Each has his own mind.

The only thing that is the same is that the world is going to be chaotic.

After that, the news began to spread, and of course it reached the ears of Captain Si Li, Zhong Xuan.

On this day, Sili Lieutenant Zhong Xuan played chess with Liu Yuan, the main bookkeeper. Zhong Xuan has an elegant appearance, fair complexion, and graceful bearing. Although Zhong Xuan was playing chess, he was worried and absent-minded.

Liu Yuannai is Zhong Xuan's confidant, so he naturally knows the sorrow of the chief officer. Liu Yuan put down the chess pieces and said: "According to the news, Anding is too guarded by Yang Qiu, as well as Liang Xing, Cheng Yi and others are indeed gathering troops, which seems to have the intention of going east. In my opinion, it is better to start the prime minister as soon as possible, so as not to delay the big event. ”

Zhong Miao also put down the chess pieces, and then sighed: "It is extremely difficult for the prime minister to be in Jingzhou now, if I spread the news, I am afraid it will be even more difficult for the prime minister." Furthermore. I have already inquired from Ma Chao and Han Sui, and these two people have no strange behavior. Only Yang Qiu, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi and others are gathering troops, but it seems that they are just doing it. I suspect that someone in the Guan family is spreading rumors, and they have bribed Yang Qiu and others with a lot of money to make them bluff. ”

is worthy of Zhong Xuan, to the point.

Ma Jian made many arrangements, and spreading rumors was just one of them. He took 3,000 gold from Guan Ping's shogunate, which was to bribe Yang Qiu and others, so that Yang Qiu and others made strange moves and bluffs.

Now the world's major events are in the battle of Jingzhou, and the eyes of the people of the world are gathered in Jingzhou. At this time, this happened in the Kansai region.

Zhong Xuan guessed that the people of the Guan family had done unsightly things in the Kansai region.

This is very normal to spread rumors, and the Guan family occupies Wudu, Yinping, and borders the Liangzhou region, and it is also convenient to spread the news, so it is strange not to spread the news.

When Liu Yuan heard this, he said: "Even if it is very likely to be Guan Ping's conspiracy, in order to force the prime minister to withdraw his troops. But what if it's true? What if Ma Chao, Han Sui, Yang Qiu and others want to raise troops and attack Chang'an and Tongguan? At present, the elite of Prime Minister Ma Bujun are in Jingzhou, if the Guanxi princes occupy Chang'an, attack Tongguan, Luoyang. The cavalry is rampant in the Central Plains, so what is good? I think it's better to pass the news to the prime minister as soon as possible, as for how to choose, look at the prime minister. ”

Liu Yuan's idea was simple, it was too inappropriate to conceal the news. Pass the news to Cao Cao and let Cao Cao make his own decisions.

After thinking about it, Zhong Miao sighed: "Okay, draft the official document." Deliver the message to the Prime Minister. ”

"No." Liu Yuan promised and immediately went to work. Writing official documents is his main bookkeeper's duty.

Zhong Xuan sat alone for a moment, then went out of the room to look in the southwest direction, and said, "Guan Ping in Hanzhong." This son is definitely not a thing in the pool, and I am afraid that it will be a disaster for the Cao family. ”

Smart people in the world have realized a problem, that is, Cao Cao may not be able to operate in Jingzhou. If Cao Cao withdrew from Jingzhou, Jingzhou would inevitably be divided by the Guan family and Jiangdong.

And Guan Ping is in Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang is by no means Guan Ping's opponent.

If Guan Yu, Guan Ping's father and son occupy Jingzhou, Yizhou, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the rivers and lakes are crisscrossed, I am afraid that it will not be able to be eliminated in a while.

What's more, Sun Quan and Guan Ping are both young.

Wars and strife can last for decades or even generations.

As the saying goes, one day is the enemy, and the trouble is for several lifetimes.

Troubles for generations.

..................

Smart people in the world can see that Cao Cao may not be able to operate in Jingzhou. And the battle for Jingzhou is on the side of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and the Guan family.

The smart man on Cao Cao's side, the strategist is the defense.

Sun Quan, a smart man on the Guan family's side, and the strategist is the attacker and the initiator.

Sent a naval army to rampant across the Yangtze River and Han River, attacking the coast of Jingzhou, forcing Cao Cao to arrange cavalry to quickly defend and transfer the people along the coast, which then made the people frightened and crossed the river to join Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.

The initiators of this are Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, and the two of them coincidentally did this thing very tacitly.

Ma Liang's invasion of Zigui had a certain impact.

Zhao Yun's attack on the grain road brought a great bad impact.

These things are all good things done by the Guan family and Jiangdong.

And Liu Biao also did a lot of things before, generally demonizing Cao Cao and confusing the people of Jingzhou, if Cao Cao is allowed to rule Jingzhou, the end is not far away.

And many scholars in Jingzhou were also dissatisfied with Cao Cao. Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, Zhuge Liang and others.

And God also helped Zhuge Liang, plus Cao Cao's horse and infantry were all northerners, and after coming to the south, many of them were sick.

Cao Cao has no geography in Jingzhou, no people, not even the time of the day, only strong soldiers.

But no matter how Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Guan Ping used stratagem, how they used guerrilla tactics, how obscene, and how closed without fighting.

wants to drag such a powerful Cao Cao to death.

But after all, Cao Cao has 200,000 horse infantry troops, and he has strong troops, and strong soldiers are the initiative.

Even if thirty percent of Cao Cao's army were sick and let Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others go ashore to fight Cao Cao to the death, the result would definitely be one.

Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Zhou Yu were defeated.

200,000 horse infantry troops, less than 30%, and 140,000. Cao Cao's army of 140,000 was invincible on land.

So it's Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Guan Ping's business to do things, but whether to withdraw or not is Cao Cao's business. If Cao Cao gritted his teeth and did not retreat, it was possible to delay for a few years.

So now the key question is, should Cao Cao withdraw his troops?

Cao Cao did not reveal his intentions to anyone.

Until now, it is still a mystery whether to retire or not.
