In the autumn and July of the first year of Jian'an, the autumn harvest in Guanzhong and Hanzhong ended one after another.

The five warlords of Xiliang immediately raised their troops and launched a surprise attack, attacking Li Yu and Guo Yan of Sanfu. This time, it was the second time that Ma Teng and Han Sui had confronted Li Yu, and the last time, Ma Teng and Han Sui were still defeated when they had internal responses by the emperor's side.

But this time the situation was completely different, Li Yu's subordinate Yang Feng returned to the east with the Son of Heaven, Li Yu and Guo Yan fought with each other, and in addition to the impact of the famine in the Sanfu region in the past two years, the strength of both of them has been greatly reduced.

On the other hand, the five warlords of Xiliang, Ma Teng easily took Hanyang County, and his strength increased greatly.

In one day, Fufu County was lost.

But at this time, a shocking news reached the ears of the five warlords of Xiliang, Lü Bu really had to lead his troops into the pass, and, at the same time as they attacked Fufeng County, Lü Bu's army set out from Hedong County, and the troops were divided into two routes, one led by Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, crossed the Yellow River from Puban, and took Linjin County, an important town on the side of the Beiluo River in Zuofeng Yi County, in one day.

On the other hand, led by Lu Bu himself, Gao Shunshuai trapped the camp as the vanguard, crossed the Yellow River again from the west of Sanmenxia, and the target was directly aimed at Hongnong County.

There were five warlords of Xiliang in the west, and the east and north were successively cut off by Lu Bu's army. At this time, Li Yu and Guo Yan could only follow the passage where Zhang Jijun led the army to leave, from Wuguan to Nanyang County.

But just as Li Yu and Guo Yan were packing up their things and preparing to flee Jingzhao County with the remaining soldiers under their command, there was another big bad news from the south - the vanguard army that went to open the Wuguan was actually defeated by a group of Yellow Turban troops who did not know the origin.

It's not that the soldiers under Li Yu and Guo Yan are too vegetable, but that the morale of the two of them in the first place is too poor, and they rashly blocked the passage for those Yellow Turban Army to go to Jin Jue, they underestimated the Yellow Turban Army's yearning for the Heavenly Master, one side is the fanatical believers of the Heavenly Master Sect, and the other side is the panicked defeated army, and it is reasonable for them to lose.

After getting this news, he was afraid that Lu Bu would become the third assistant, and the five warlords of Xiliang did not dare to continue to stay in Fufeng County, so they quickly dispatched troops and took away these two traitors in one wave.

The end result was that Li Yu and Guo Yan themselves were killed by their rebellious army, and when the coalition army reached Jingzhao County, they were razed to the three tribes. At this time, Lu Bu sent a messenger to explain the purpose of his expedition.

First, it is for His Majesty to judge.

Second, it was to welcome back the soldiers who had come with him from Bingzhou to go home.

Third, negotiate the territory of the two sides with the five warlords of Xiliang.

Lü Bu demanded that the east of the Beiluo River in Zuo Fengyi County, as well as the entire Hongnong County, be temporarily placed under the control of Lü Bu's army. Moreover, the envoy had met Ma Teng in private, and made it very clear in the secret agreement signed with Ma Teng's army that in a few years, when Lü Bu's army had captured Hanoi and Bingzhou, he would immediately return these two areas to Ma Teng.

However, the soldiers captured by the five warlords of Xiliang this time must be returned to the Lü Bu army in full. This was a prerequisite for Lu Bujun's willingness to negotiate peace with them. If they didn't want to, Lu Bu didn't mind taking his troops to fetch it himself.

"Messenger, is Wen Hou really willing to keep his promise?" Looking at the agreement before the ink was dry, Ma Tengwu asked in disbelief.

Ma Teng asked, first, he couldn't figure out when Lu Bu was so good at talking, Li Yu and Guo Yan did have a lot of soldiers from Bingzhou, Hedong and Hanoi in their army, but this was only a very small minority. They are all Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and Dong Zhuo himself is from Xiliang, and most of his subordinates are from Xiliang.

The key point is that Lu Bu's reputation is too poor. The others didn't talk about it, Liu Bei was kind enough to take him in, but Lu Bu was actually ready to secretly take the opportunity to seize Xuzhou, although it was finally destroyed by Jin Jue, but this matter could not be hidden from the investigation of people with intentions.

"Hehehe, General Ma, no, it should be General Ma Fubo. This is the last time Lu Bu met His Majesty, he asked for the official position for the general. Please don't dislike it. "The envoy who came to negotiate peace with the five warlords of Xiliang this time was none other than Sima Yi, he finished with a smile, and poked out a seal letter symbolizing General Fubo from his arms and handed it over.

In the third year of the first peace, in order to attract Ma Teng and Han Sui to send troops to eliminate Li Yu and Guo Yan, the people around Emperor Xian of Han had promised the two important official positions, and at that time, Ma Teng was already the general of Zhengxi, but the two were defeated and had to return to Liangzhou. Soon he was pardoned by Li Yu and worshiped General Andy.

General Fubo's seal may not be very attractive to others, but it has an extraordinary significance for Ma Teng and Fufeng Ma. Because, its ancestor Ma Yuan is General Fubo.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" When Ma Teng heard this, he immediately got up and straightened the clothes and armor on his body, knelt down on one knee in the direction of Luoyang, and solemnly raised his hands to take the seal letter from Sima Yi's hand.

"General Ma's concerns, my lord naturally understands. However, General Ma, you are a smart person, you should understand that this Hongnong County is easy to take, but if someone takes His Majesty away from Luoyang City, then, at that time, the entire Hongnong County will immediately become a shield to resist the entry of other lords into Guanzhong. My lord is not stupid, he has the Yellow River and Taihang Mountain as a barrier, why should he guard the door for you? When Ma Teng returned to his seat, Sima Yi then explained.

This is also true, Ma Teng and the third son and Pang De on the side were relieved when they heard it. Hongnong County covers a large area, but it is mountainous, and the population of the county has also been lost due to the war. If Emperor Han Xian continued to stay in Luoyang City, Hongnong County would still be of some use, but if His Majesty the Emperor left Luoyang City, then Hongnong County would become a burden.

"Envoy, Your Majesty has stayed well in Luoyang City, why did you leave?" Ma Teng asked puzzled.

The current situation of Emperor Han Xian is actually the same as that of the Great Zhou Tianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although he is still the co-lord of the world, but that is only in name. Nowadays, the princes of all walks of life are in charge of a region, and there is a great possibility that the separation of the states during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period will be formed again. In fact, this is also the result that the princes like Lu Bu and Ma Teng, who are ambitious but know that their abilities are limited, want to see the most.

"Alas......!" When Sima Yi heard this, he also looked in the direction of Luoyang, sighed, and explained: "First of all, since the beginning of the year, Cao Cao has already sent people to try to break through the blockade of Han Jun's guy and move His Majesty the Emperor to his jurisdiction. Wen Hou has now killed Han Jun and let General Yang Feng guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and now, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng are evenly matched, and the two get along quite well. For the time being, Cao Cao could not succeed.

However, he was not afraid that His Majesty himself was dissatisfied with the situation in the world, and he counted on loyal men among the princes to help him pacify the world. At that time, if the ministers around His Majesty had Cao Cao's insider, once they were instigated, they would probably have to make a move that would disappoint all the princes of the world. General Ma, think about it, how His Majesty moved from Sanfu East to Luoyang in the first place.

There are two in one, and there are three in two! To be honest, Cao Cao is capable and prestigious, otherwise the famous Mr. Wen Ruo would not abandon Yuan Shao and follow him, but what Cao Cao did in Xuzhou before was really disappointing! “

These words are Sima Yi's sincere words, if there was no Jin Jue to make trouble, Sima Yi would have been going to Cao Cao with this big brother.

Jin Jue's generous speech at the head of Xiapi City not only made the people and soldiers up and down of Xuzhou regard Cao Cao as a great enemy of life and death, but also, now, even some state and county leaders in Yuzhou are a little hesitant to submit to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's army was weakened twice because of Jin Jue, and the Yellow Turban Army of Yingchuan and Runan successively took refuge in Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, so that he lost an opportunity to replenish food and troops.
