After entering Chang'an City, Ma Teng came to Xu You to discuss. Dao: Ziyuan, how many guards do we leave in Chang'an now?

Xu Youdao: My lord, according to your opinion, this Chang'an will be given to Han Sui!

Ma Chao immediately said: Why is this?

If it weren't for Xu Youren's good looks, he would have scolded his mother a long time ago.

Xu Youdao: Chang'an has a small population now, and there is no money and food, so what is the use? Why waste your troops on guarding? If Chang'an is left to Han Sui, then he will have to send troops to guard it, so that he will have to disperse his troops

The lord wants to unify Xiliang first, why bother to let Han Sui occupy Chang'an for a few days first? When the lord eliminated Han Sui, isn't this Chang'an still the lord's?

If the lord really wants to guard, it is better to guard Chencang, which is the main road to Hanzhong in the south. Of course, it is also the main road from Hanzhong to the north of Guanzhong. If you occupy this place first, it will be stronger than Chang'an.

Ma Teng thought for a while and said: What Ziyuan said is also that it is not interesting to stay in Chang'an now, but it is a little reluctant to give it to Han Sui.

Xu Youdao: The Lord is determined to be in the world, what is there to be reluctant to? When Gaozu went to Hanzhong, didn't he give up all the customs to Xiang Yu for a while? As long as the lord first pacifies all parts of Liangzhou, he is afraid that he will not be able to deal with these old soldiers in Chang'an?

Well, well! Just according to Ziyuan's words.

Then Ma Teng came to Han Sui's military camp and said: Wen Yue! Now that we're going back to Liangzhou, what are your plans for this Chang'an City?

Han Sui didn't understand Ma Teng's purpose for a while. Dao: What does Brother Shou Cheng mean?

Ma Tengdao: Chang'an doesn't have much population now, and there is no money and food. I wanted to go straight back. This Chang'an will be left to you. But you have to guard Tongguan and Wuguan, how about it?

Han Sui, the old fox, thought to himself, this sun has come out in the west? When did Ma Shoucheng become so generous? Don't want Chang'an? It can't be some conspiracy!

Han Sui said: Brother Shoucheng, why are you! Although Chang'an is a little dilapidated and has a small population, there are still some counties around, and the total population must exceed 100,000! It's no worse than Liangzhou! You just gave up? There's nothing hard to hide!

Ma Tengdao: What can be difficult to hide? I took you to Luoyang, and now that Luoyang has run for a while, I don't feel very comfortable. Chang'an should be regarded as compensation for you! If you really don't want it, then forget it.

Han Sui thought to himself, after all, Chang'an was the former capital of the Han Dynasty, and the city was high and deep, so it was a pity to give up like this.

Ma Teng really doesn't want it, let's take it first.

Since the eldest brother insists on giving in, how dare the younger brother disrespect. The younger brother sent troops to occupy it first. I wonder what my brother's plans are? Han Sui said.

A certain tomorrow will return to Wudu, (under the rule of the county, now west of Jiangluo Town, Hui County, Gansu) Ma Teng Road.

Since the elder brother has also returned to Liangzhou, the younger brother will not stay in Chang'an, and the younger brother will also set off for Jincheng tomorrow. (Junzhi Yunwu, now Pinggou, Shuiqing County, Gansu)

Ma Teng knew that Han Sui was afraid that he would return to Liangzhou to occupy his lair.

All right! But Brother Xian, you have to send someone to guard Tongguan, and be careful that Zhang Jie's people enter the pass.

Well, don't worry, brother, little brother understands. Han Sui said.

After Ma Teng left, Han Sui felt more and more deceived. Call the confidant generals to consult.

Han Sui said: I suspect that Ma Teng is trying to disperse our troops! He gave Chang'an to me and returned to Wudu by himself, and I had to leave heavy troops to guard Chang'an. It is Tongguan, Wuguan and other places. What do you do?

Ma played: Why is Ma Teng so generous! Chang'an doesn't want it. Surely there was no good intention. Why don't you give up too?

Yang Qiudao: It would be a pity if the lord gave up Chang'an. Chang'an was once the capital anyway. The city is high and deep, and there are many counties around it, and there are still a lot of people. It is better for the lord to send 1,000 people to guard Tongguan and 500 people to guard Wuguan. Two thousand men guarded Chang'an. The rest of the men returned to Jincheng.

In this way, there were only more than 3,000 horses missing, but a large piece of land was gained. You can also recruit some of Li Dao's old subordinates. In this way, the strength will be greatly increased. Anyway, Zhang Jie is now in Xuzhou, and he will not attack Guanzhong for a while. The lord doesn't have to worry too much about the safety of Chang'an. When I go back, I will go all out to guard against Ma Teng.

Han Sui said: It can only be like this, and those who give up Chang'an are a little reluctant. Horse play, I will give you 3,000 men and horses, you do what Yang Qiu said just now, Tongguan will leave 1,000, Wuguan will leave 500, and the rest will guard Chang'an. Remember to pay attention to Zhang Jie's movements. It's okay, don't take the initiative to provoke Zhang Jie.

Promise! The end will understand.

As for grain and grass supplies, you can borrow them from the surrounding counties. But don't kill indiscriminately.

Promise!

It is said to be borrowed, but in fact it is robbed. For Xiliang Bing, the door is very clear.

The next day, Ma Teng and Han returned to Liangzhou with their troops. thus announced that this time Zhang Jie's plan to seize Luoyang in Xuzhou and welcome back the Son of Heaven was completely broken.

Luoyang, military advisor, I plan to go to Xuzhou tomorrow to find Shimin. Dian Wei Dao.

Li Rudao: The lord may be in Qingzhou now. You might as well wait for him to come back in Luoyang.

Yuan Shao died, there were only tens of thousands of recruits in Qingzhou, and there were still 50,000 people around the lord, and there were nearly 50,000 people who had invaded Qingzhou, totaling 100,000 horses. I don't think it will take too much effort to win Qingzhou! The lord has Yuanfu by his side, so he should be fine!

Dian Weidao: That's what I said, but my heart is empty. Don't hide it from the military advisor, since I met Shimin, I haven't been separated from him for more than ten years. I have spent more time with him than my daughter-in-law. It's been more than half a month, and I'm really not at ease. And I don't have anything to do in Luoyang. Why don't I take dozens of brothers and go to Shimin!

Li Ru thought to himself, this sunspot will not be a "foundation" with the lord! Why is it uncomfortable to leave the lord?

That's it, go if you like! Anyway, it's you who is tired, not me.

Hehe, if you really want to go to the lord, go to it! Anyway, Luoyang is fine now.

Well, I'll leave tomorrow. Then I'll go down and get ready.

Wait, evil comes, before you go to send it, go to the mistress first, and see if she has anything to say to the lord. Li Rudao.

Oh! I see.

Dian Wei came to Wei Houfu. Mother, I'm going to Xuzhou tomorrow, do you have anything to say to the lord?

Cai Yan said: Brother, why are you so angry? Shimin is in Xuzhou, and I don't feel at ease without you. It's okay for you to go to Xuzhou. Tell Shimin that everything is fine at home, and let him not worry.

Brother, if you are by Shimin's side, you must persuade him to go to bed early. Recently, he has been saying that he is not in good health, and I am worried about him.

And he likes to smoke a kind of leaf lately, which is called a "cigarette", which I don't look like a good thing. And smoke in his mouth. I'm afraid this smoke is poisonous. You persuade him not to smoke. How can anyone let his mouth smoke and burn. It's scary to look at.

Dian Wei said: I also persuaded him, but he said that smoking can relieve boredom. I also smoked it once, it was spicy and choking, and I don't know how he liked the taste.
