"Oh! Childe, my subordinates have been in Liangzhou and Guanzhong for a long time, and I don't know how many leaders of the big and small forces I know, but I really can't guess who you just mentioned this time? When Jia Xu heard this, his eyes were shining, and he asked with interest.

The world says that this little son's ability to appreciate is the best in the world, it is true that the subordinates of Jin Jue that Jia Xu has seen so far are indeed many young people with very strong abilities, such as Wei Yan, Fu Tong and Fu Gan that Jia Xu has seen, as well as Fa Zheng, however, since arriving in Yizhou, Jin Jue has not shown this ability in front of Jia Xu so far.

Jin Jue suddenly mentioned this issue, which was not surprising for Jia Xu to suddenly mention his interest, which is also the most attractive thing about Jin Jue himself to the world's poor scholars.

Both men were Ma Teng's men, one of whom was his relative, and the other was his general.

The relative refers to Ma Teng's own nephew, the current Taishou Ma Dai of Longxi County. According to the comparison of the strength of the two forces of Cao Thief and Ma Teng, as well as the speed of the march that Cao Jun is used to, according to the estimation of this Gongzi, it is very likely that the forward troops of Cao Jun are now under Ji County, and at least the entire territory of Fufeng County should have been taken.

In this way, Ma Teng's three sons were all driven back to Hanyang County by Cao Thief, and Ma Dai alone occupied a county, how could this make Ma Chao and their hearts balanced? Therefore, in order to appease his three sons, it is very likely that Ma Teng will issue an order to transfer Ma Dai back to Hanyang County, and send one of his sons to Longxi County to take Ma Dai's place.

Mr. Jia, if you are Ma Dai, will you be at ease and willing? Jin Jue now pointed out Ma Dai, and then asked Jia Xu two questions about the situation Ma Dai is facing now.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jia Xu and Guo Jia were the best military advisors in the world in terms of speculation about people's hearts, but their attention would only be focused on the big people, that is, the local warlords who occupied the states or counties of the Han Dynasty.

The reason why Jia Xu was able to be so familiar with the local warlords in Liangzhou and Guanzhong was because either some of them were traitors in Liangzhou who had been recruited by the imperial court, and had the same background as Ma Teng and Han Sui, or they were old subordinates of the original Dong Zhuo, such as Duan Xuan, Jia Xu was their mastermind, so how could he not be familiar with them?

For Ma Dai, Jia Xu has only heard of this person's name, and the specific source is still in Jin Jue's own body, because, at the beginning, Jin Jue borrowed troops from Ma Teng, and skillfully captured Song Jian's entrenched city of Caohan for more than ten years, which shook the entire Liangzhou, and Ma Dai, who was teased by Jin Jue, also became famous with him.

However, Ma Dai was only a small person at that time after all, and the eyes of the world would always follow Jin Jue again, so in fact, Ma Dai in Longxi County in the vast majority of the counties have been occupied by the Qiang people, through the mediation of Ma Teng and Han Sui in the middle, the way of exchange was adopted, with the solid city of Xiangwu County closer to Hanyang County.

After that, the people of Liangzhou, including Ma Dai's uncle Ma Teng, never paid attention to his nephew, but Jin Jue never gave up his surveillance of Ma Dai.

According to the reports of the secret agents planted in Xiangwu County over the years, Jin Jue believes that as a military general, Longxi County Taishou Ma Dai has only one county in his hands, and has not recruited more than 5,000 defenders in the county, which is doing quite well.

Ma Dai did not recruit more soldiers in the city, it was not that the number of people in Xiangwu County was small, on the contrary, the Han people in the entire Longxi County, except for those who fled to Yizhou because of the Liangzhou rebellion in the last years of Emperor Ling, were all concentrated in Caohan City. Although Jin Jue took away most of the food in the city, he left the valuables and silk silks in the city, as well as the fifty or sixty thousand people, to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng was greedy for money and short-sighted, he only took away the valuables and silk silk in the city of Caohan, but did not manage the people in the city, when trading with the Qiang people, Ma Dai proposed to move all the people in the city.

The Qiang people knew that the city was full of Han people, considering this transaction, Ma Teng and Han Sui both came forward, for the sake of the face of the two leaders of the local forces that were most friendly to the Qiang people, the leaders of the Qiang tribes agreed to Ma Dai's trading conditions, therefore, Ma Dai did not look at the land of only one county in his hands, but the number of people in Xiangwu County was among the five counties under Ma Teng's rule, second only to Hanyang County and Liangzhou Prefecture - Ji County.

has such a foundation, but Ma Dai still does not dare to recruit troops in the city, first, he does not want to cause the uneasiness and vigilance of the surrounding Qiang people because of the conscription, and second, he does not want Ma Teng to be suspicious of himself because of the conscription.

From the end of the first year of Jian'an, to the spring of the fourth year of Jian'an, Xiangwu County, where Ma Dai is located, because it is close to the Yao River, therefore, the overall wind and rain in the county are smooth, the people live and work in peace and contentment, under the suppression and deliberate forbearance of Ma Dai, there is no conflict with the Qiang tribes, the only military action is still last year, Zhang Xiu, who suddenly went to Wudu County as a guard, sent troops, and forced to leave Wudu The two tribes of the Di tribe led the people to leave.

Before, the reason why Jin Jue had been tolerating and did not let his subordinates who stayed in Wudu County clear the remaining two Di tribes who refused to belong to him was because he successively transferred all the generals who had the ability to lead the troops to fight alone to Yizhou, and the people who stayed behind were more than enough to defend and not enterprising, and if they rushed to send troops, it would only be self-defeating.

Zhang Xiu suddenly surrendered to himself, Jin Jue's first thought was to place Zhang Xiu in Wudu County, as mentioned earlier, Wudu County in the Western Han Dynasty, was under the jurisdiction of the Yizhou Thorn History Department, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the founding emperor Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu divided her into the Liangzhou Thorn History Department. Therefore, when Zhang Xiu heard that he was placed in Wudu County, he and Jin Jue hit it off.

Zhang Xiu himself is a native of Liangzhou, so he naturally hopes that he will still develop in Liangzhou in the future, and Jin Jue also promised him that if Zhang Xiu can defeat Han Sui in the future, he will hand over the entire four counties of Hexi to Zhang Xiu's jurisdiction, and it can be hereditary.

Don't look at the sparse population of the four counties in Hexi, the land is barren and desolate, but for a small warlord like Zhang Xiu, who does not want to dominate the world, the temptation is still very great.

As soon as Zhang Xiufu took office, he led the 2,000 Xiliang iron cavalry under his command, as well as the soldiers of Wudu County, under the leadership of the county Cheng who was responsible for staying in Wudu County, to break through Shanglu County in one fell swoop.

After the defeat of the two Di tribal leaders, they had to lead the remnants to escape into Longxi County.
