Chapter 177: The princess arrives
Seeing Zhang Ji's statement like this, Pei Qing nodded with satisfaction, Zhang Ji was able to do this, and it was not in vain that he was soliciting.
And with the solution of Zhang Ji's problem, the disposition of the Xiliang army has finally come to an end, and now for Pei Qing, the most important thing is to recuperate, let Chang'an completely settle down, and wait until his marriage with the princess is over, his relationship with the royal family will be completely settled, only after that, and then talk to the little emperor about moving the capital, the little emperor will not object.
Of course, if he coerced the little emperor to move the capital like Cao Cao in history, there would be no problem, but Pei Qing was hindered by the relationship between Princess Wannian and the little emperor, so he didn't want to do it at all, if he really coerced the little emperor, let alone the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even Princess Wannian would not give up.
Subsequently, for the safety of Chang'an, Pei Qing took great pains, after some consideration, he decided to appoint Zhou Cang as Zuo Feng Yi, Chen Zhi as the right Fufeng, Zhang Chao as Jing Zhaoyin, and at the same time redraw Yongzhou and Liangzhou, with Anding, Longxi, Hanyang, Wudu four counties as Yongzhou, and Beidi, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Wuwei, Dunhuang, Juyan vassal state, Jincheng as Liangzhou, Bai Ma Teng as Yongzhou Thorn History, Han Sui as Liangzhou Thorn History.
Pei Qing did this of course for his purpose, although it seems that the two of them have only changed the following positions, and the scope of their rule has not changed much, but in fact there is a big difference, because Han Sui's old nest Jincheng is now under the threat of Ma Teng's army, because Jincheng is under the threat of Hanyang and Longxi counties, and at the same time, although the northern land is nominally owned by him, in fact, most of it is occupied by the Xiongnu, and there are only two counties in the hands of Zao Dahan, Niyang and Fuping, and even these two counties, Most of them are Qianghu people living together with the Han people, even Niyang County, where the Han people are slightly stronger, is mainly controlled by the Duan family, that is, the family where Duan Xuan and Duan Xi, who is known as one of the three Mings in Liangzhou, are located, and now Duan Xuan has taken the initiative to leave Huayin to serve as the Taishou of the North, not to mention his Liangzhou assassin history, even the words of the imperial court may not be certain.
What's even more troublesome is that now Guo Yan's power is still entrenched in Wuwei, although Guo Yan's power has been greatly weakened, but it is not something that he Han Sui can adjust, so that the connection between his lair and Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Juyan subjects is only a narrow channel, and he will face the threat of being cut off at any time.
Therefore, Han Sui's Liangzhou Thorn History is a little aggrieved, but Ma Teng's Yongzhou Thorn History is also a little uncomfortable, because the four counties of Yongzhou are small in size, not to mention the Anding County, which is sandwiched between the two counties of Liangzhou Beidi and Wuwei, facing the dual threat of Beidi Qianghu and Guo Yan, and this is the Hetao area, rich in products and fertile land, and it is the only channel for Han Sui to connect with Beidi after bypassing Guo Yan, because Han Sui has previously controlled the traffic arteries at the junction of Jincheng and Wuwei and Hanyang Counties. This can be used to directly achieve stability, so whether it is in terms of property or geographical location, this is definitely a battleground for soldiers, so if Han Sui wants to ensure the safety of Laochao Jincheng, and at the same time remove the threat of Guo Yan and Ma Teng, and ensure the connection between his Jincheng and the other four counties, he must find a way to get stability.
And more importantly, the relationship between Yang Qiu, the Taishou of stability, and Han Sui is relatively close, and stability is the territory that Ma Teng must hold, because if stability allows Han Sui to go, Han Sui's forces will be completely connected, and the remaining three counties of Ma Teng will face Han Sui's attack at any time, so that Ma Teng will be even more guarded, in order to ensure that stability is controlled in his own hands, the only way is to use the righteousness of his Yongzhou assassin history to lead the army to directly and forcibly seize stability from Yang Qiu.
Therefore, the attack on stability is inevitable.
So in this case, whether it is Ma Teng, Han Sui or Guo Yan, they all launched a fierce competition around Anding County, for their own security and interests, the three forces have been fighting for a long time, and the resentment between each other is getting deeper and deeper, and the possibility of peace talks is getting smaller and smaller.
Pei Qing, who designed all this, was given a brief period of peace, during which he pacified the people, trained the army, strengthened provisions, recruited displaced people, and prepared for the next year's production in order to stabilize Guanzhong.
Even if the Son of Heaven moves the capital to Xu County successfully, Guanzhong must also be developed, where the land is fertile, the water resources are abundant, and it is a natural granary, of course, it cannot be given up casually.
More than ten days after Pei Qing conquered Chang'an, Princess Wannian Liu Ning and Cai Zhaoji and others finally came to Chang'an.
What is ironic is that Lu Bu's daughter Lu Wen also came to Chang'an with her, and even Lu Bu's wife Yan and concubine Ren Hongchang also followed.
Pei Qing was very surprised after seeing Lu Bu's family, and hurriedly said to Yan: "Now that General Lu Bu has arrived in Yanzhou, why hasn't Mrs. gone to the reunion?" ”
But seeing Yan Shi said with a wry smile on his face: "A few days ago, we heard the news of General Fengxian, and we were going to go to Puyang to find it, but the war there was very tense, General Fengxian and Cao Cao fell into the tricks of Cao Cao's military division Guo Jia in the process of fighting, and lost thousands of men and horses, and now Puyang is under the fierce attack of Cao Cao, and it is in danger, even General Fengxian himself is not good to say that it is safe, let alone a few of us, so General Fengxian sent me a letter, let us temporarily rely on you, General, He also said that you are a good brother who allows him to live and die, as long as we are with you, we will be safe, and when they really have a place to live, they will come to pick us up and thank you in person, General. ”
"I see." Pei Qing listened to Yan's words, nodded secretly, it seems that although Lu Bu is fierce, he is indeed not Cao Cao's opponent, although Cao Cao has now obtained Luoyang, but he has lost the entire Yanzhou, it is really a bit more than worth the loss, but it is a pity that the situation in Chang'an is not completely stable now, Zang Ba has not yet led the army to Hongnong to garrison, although Duan Xuan is loyal to the Son of Heaven, his attitude towards me is still unclear, otherwise I should take the opportunity to occupy Luoyang and completely cut off Cao Cao's hope.
Of course, Pei Qing just thought about it like this, after all, Cao Cao had responded to Pei Qing's coalition army on the surface before he launched an attack on Luoyang, if he attacked Cao Cao at this time, some divisions would lose their prestige, so Pei Qing could only helplessly sit and watch Luoyang empty but could not attack it, so he could only secretly order Pei Yuanshao to support Lu Bu, and at the same time sabotage Cao Cao, so as to delay Cao Cao's reoccupation of Yanzhou.
"I have to think about the marriage with the princess as soon as possible, as long as the marriage is completed, many things will be easy to do." Pei Qing thought silently.
