However, what made Ma Teng's subordinates a little vigilant was that in front of Ma Teng, Zhong Xuan did not mention Han Sui at all, nor did he have any plans to go to the western part of Liangzhou. Moreover, this kind of thing, Ma Teng is not good to ask Zhong Xuan about this situation in person.

What Ma Teng didn't expect even more was that after Zhong Xuan passed on the holy decree, he immediately resigned and returned to Xu County. However, before leaving, he said something that confused everyone present.

Zhong Xuan arched his hand at Ma Teng and said, "Lord Thorn Shi, it is said that this time, His Majesty should directly crown you as the Liangzhou Mu, not the Thorn Shi." However, Your Majesty heard that you said that Liangzhou, which you are in charge of, not to mention other counties, and even Hanyang County, where the state is located, has not been able to fully control it. Therefore, this matter has spread to the Central Plains, and His Majesty has some concerns about your abilities. If you can easily solve this scabies disease, a Liangzhou pastor is not a problem. ”

Zhong Xuan finally left, but his words confused everyone present.

Ma Tie frowned and asked, "Father, what is Zhong Xuan's intention when he said this?" ”

Because of the impact of the locust plague, at present, Lu Bu first returned Hongnong County, and half of Zuo Fengyi is still in Lu Bu's hands, and it will not be returned to Ma Teng until the complete autumn harvest.

Ma Teng shook his head and did not speak, but set his eyes on the eldest son Ma Chao and Pang De, who was about to take up the post of Taishou of Hongnong County.

Zhong Xuan was escorted to Hanyang County by the two of them.

Ma Chao also shook his head and replied, "Father, why should we guess His Majesty's thoughts? Maybe this matter itself is not His Majesty's intention at all, but that Cao Cao pretended to be His Majesty's will and deliberately made trouble for us. Besides, even if Zhong Xuan didn't say this, his son was ready to ask for his life and personally led his troops to wipe out the damned Yellow Turban Army. ”

"My lord, the eldest prince is right about one thing, Zhong Xuan is here, nominally a messenger of His Majesty, but judging from his various actions, he is secretly stumbling on you everywhere. Your Majesty has crowned you and the three sons, but he has not mentioned General Han and the other three generals in a single sentence, isn't this just dividing you? Also, even if the eldest prince successfully won Longxian, what about Luoyang County?

Zhong Xuan said this in the end, isn't it just for you to take back Luoyang County. If you do this, whether you exterminate Jin Jue's army or drive it out of Luoyang County, you will have a grudge against Jin Jue. If you wipe out everything, but if you just drive it out of Luoyang County, this move will be an enemy for you. Pang De waited for Ma Chao to finish speaking, and he expressed his opinion.

"Hmph, Ling Ming, what do you mean by saying this, is my father still afraid of that little cripple?" When Ma Tie heard this, he immediately asked Pang De loudly in anger.

Pang De didn't dare to offend Ma Tie, so he hurriedly gave him a deep salute and defended: "Second son, this is not what the subordinates mean. If you intend to seize Yizhou and seize the land of Qin, then Luoyang County must be taken back, and it is the right time to send troops at this time. But if you don't have this intention, you are dispensable to the lord of Luoyang County.

Although Jin Jue is young, he is not comparable to the Yellow Turban Army in Longxian County, and if you want to send troops to attack Luoyang County, you will inevitably lose a lot of men. If this is the case, and Cao Cao only used a false name to provoke the contradiction between you and Jin Jue, it is really a bit more than worth the loss, so the county begs the lord that you can still think twice. ”

Ma Tie didn't lose his temper, he wanted to say something, but was dissuaded by Ma Chao, and said: "Second brother, we still listen to our father's opinion on this matter, don't say more." ”

At present, Ma Teng only controls a small number of subordinate counties of Hanyang County and Longxi County in the Liangzhou Thorn History Department, which is a well-known thing in the entire area west of Guanzhong, if Zhong Xuan uses the four counties of Hexi, or Anding County and Beidi County to talk about things, then Ma Teng will think that Zhong Xuan must be sowing discord, dividing the relationship between him and his brother Han Sui, as well as the other three warlords in Liangzhou.

However, Zhong Xuan just grabbed Hanyang County to say something, which made people feel very incomprehensible.

So far, there are only two counties in Hanyang County that Ma Teng has not been able to grasp. One of them is Longxian County, which is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army of Julu County, and the other is Luoyang County, which is occupied by Jin Jue.

Both counties are geographically important, one controls the main road from Longyou to Guanzhong, and the other controls the passage between Longyou and Yizhou. Therefore, for Ma Tengjun, it is natural to recapture Longxian.

Even if Zhong Xuan didn't say it, Ma Teng originally planned to send troops to attack Longxian County immediately after this autumn harvest, but because the Guanzhong area encountered another locust plague this year, Yang Fu, the Liangzhou conquered by Ma Teng, suggested that he should first hold his troops and send rangers to block the four borders of Longxian, as long as he could prevent this Yellow Turban Army from flowing to other counties in Hanyang County, he could come to a turtle in an urn and take Longxian back without much effort.

The reason is also very simple, it is this Liangzhou and Sanfu that are affected by the locust plague, and Longxian County is naturally not spared, plus these Yellow Turban Army do not produce, and there is no plan, they eat and drink without moderation throughout the winter, wasting a lot of grain in the warehouse of Longxian County. Now, without the grain income in Longxian County in the second year of Jian'an, the collapse of the defenders of Longxian County is the inevitable result.

As for whether the people of Longxian County will suffer a greater catastrophe because of this, Yang Fu actually didn't want to come up with such a ruthless strategy, but even if Ma Teng really had to send troops to attack the county seat of Longxian, those Yellow Turban thieves would definitely coerce the people in the entire Longxian County as a shield, delaying the offensive of the siege troops, and it would also cause very big losses in the city.

Rather than this, it is better to use the trick of cutting off food, so that the entire Longxian County, whether it is the Yellow Turban Army or the ordinary people, will fall into a state of weakness, and when the time comes, if you attack the county seat of Longxian again, you will definitely succeed.

What's more, last winter, the people of the counties around Luoyang County rushed to Luoyang County to escape the cold in the wind and snow, and the fact that it had spread all over Hanyang County, and even more people escaped from the townships of Longxian County, which virtually weakened the total number of people in the entire Longxian County who could be used by the Yellow Turban Army.

After careful consideration, Ma Teng finally did not adopt Pang De's suggestion, and he ordered Matt to lead the army to attack Longxian, and Ma Chao to lead the army to attack Luoyang County.

Pound could only reluctantly step aside.
