Nearly two years ago, that is, in the first month of the fourth year of Tianyou, when Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, was busy usurping the throne and becoming emperor, when Yang Wu, Wang Jian and other ill-intentioned feudal towns sat back and watched Zhu Wen become emperor for their own interests, Yelu Abaoji, the leader of the Khitan Diera tribe, replaced the Khan and officially became the leader of the entire Khitan people.

Unlike previous chieftains, Yelu Abaoji's ambitions from the first day of his ascension to the throne of Khan were not satisfied with the Khitan custom of the Khitan system in which the Khan's three-year term expired.

As an ambitious and ambitious leader, Abaoji wants to build a true empire that can monopolize power like the Han emperor and pass on his power to future generations!

Of course, within the Khitan today, the opposition forces of all parties are still very strong, not only the people of several other Khitan tribes oppose Abaoji's ambition to be the emperor, but also his own clansmen, including several of his brothers, also oppose him.

Therefore, if Abaoji wants to truly become an existence like the Han emperor, he still needs to make a lot of efforts.

But no matter what, because the power of the army is in his hands, it is only a matter of time before he realizes his dream.

Moreover, Yang Wu also knew that he not only successfully established the Khitan Empire, but also developed this empire into one of the most powerful empires in the world today, and became the biggest enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty from the Later Tang Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Since Yang Wu wants to dominate the world, he will naturally have to be enemies of the Khitans in the future.

Of course, these are all things in the future, and what Yang Wu needs to pay attention to now is still how to quickly unify the south and prepare for the future Northern Expedition.

Under his explanation, everyone now understood the real enemy they needed to deal with in the future, so they all agreed to the strategy of a temporary ceasefire with Juwen.

Of course, in Zhu Wen's handwriting, he not only put forward the idea that he wanted to cease fire with Yang Wu, but also put forward a request that Yang Wu could spare Ma Yin, the king of Chu, and coexist peacefully with him.

For this point, Yang Wu and others naturally refused unceremoniously.

Although Ma Yin's strength has been greatly reduced after this crusade, he still has relatively strong strength, especially the confidence of the generals under Ma Yin's command has not been completely defeated, and they still have the intention and courage to continue to be enemies of Wu State.

From this point of view, the biggest obstacle to Yang Wu's future unification of the south should still be Ma Yin, the king of Chu.

As for Liu Yin in the south, perhaps his terrain is more remote, and his strength should not be underestimated, but after Wu Guo eliminated Wang Zhenzhi and Ma Yin, Wu Guo would have achieved the general trend at that time, and Liu Yin could no longer turn the sky upside down.

At that time, Yang Wu didn't even need to send the main force to crusade, he only needed to send a general to go, and he should be able to pacify Lingnan.

In the end, Yang Wu wrote a reply letter to Zhu Wen in the name of "the lord of the Great Wu State sent a letter to the king of Liang", in which Yang Wu did not explicitly mention the truce between the two sides, but Yang Wu said that both sides should "guard their own land and think of the people".

Presumably, after Zhu Wen saw it, he would also understand what Yang Wu meant.

As for Ma Yin, Yang Wu did not mention it much in the letter, but directly said that Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty had given Yang Xingmi the official position of the capital of the southeast provinces, and Ma Yin belonged to the jurisdiction of this capital.

Now that Yang Wu has inherited the position of capital commander, he naturally also inherited the jurisdiction over Hunan.

The implication is that he naturally disagrees with Ma Yin's resignation.

Of course, Zhu Wen knew that it was impossible for Yang Wu to let Ma Yin go, he just mentioned it, and he wouldn't really put too much thought into it for this chess piece.

……

When Yang Wu and Zhu Wen secretly reached a tacit understanding and the two sides began to achieve a truce, on the side of Tanzhou, Ma Yin and others, who had just recovered from the siege of the Wu army, were worried about what the future would be.

At the beginning, when the main energy of the Wu army was not on the Hunan side, Ma Yin actually had the upper hand in the wars against the Wu army, which made him inevitably have the illusion that "the Wu army is nothing more than this".

However, this time the battle really made Ma Yin really sober up: the state of Wu, which was able to eliminate Qian Biao, annex Jiangxi, and confront the Liang army head-on on the battlefield, was indeed not something he could resist.

This time, the Wu army used not much troops, only 80,000 forbidden troops, at most, counting the tens of thousands of troops that were not directly put into the battlefield, compared to the entire strength of the Wu army, this is only a small part of it.

However, he was a little unable to withstand the war for just over two months, if it wasn't for Yang Shihou's timely rescue, after Wang Maozhang went south to join Li Chenghe, Tanzhou might not be able to hold it.

As for now, Ma Yin not only lost Yuezhou, making Tanzhou completely exposed to the attack of the Wu army, but also lost a large number of troops and population in the war, which cannot be recovered in a short time.

If the Wu army attacked again next time, and the Liang army was restrained and could not rescue in time, Ma Yin couldn't imagine how long he would be able to hold out.

Of course, this is still because Ma Yin doesn't know that Zhu Wen has secretly reached a truce with Yang Wu, if he knows that the two sides have secretly reached a tacit understanding, Ma Yin is afraid that he will be even more desperate.

"Lone plans to move the governance office to Shaozhou to avoid the edge of the Wu army, what do you think?"

In the palace of the King of Chu, Ma Yin, who was full of tiredness, asked his ministers.

Regarding the issue of relocating the administrative center, Ma Yin had already thought about it for a long time, although Tanzhou had a large population and a high degree of development, the city of Tanzhou was too close to the territory controlled by Wu State, and it could be attacked at any time.

In the past, there was a Yuezhou that could share the pressure, but now even Yuezhou has been taken by the enemy, and Tanzhou can be said to be attacked on both sides, which is not conducive to defense.

As for the relocation of the administrative office, although the population on the Shaozhou side is small, and the degree of development is not as high as that of Tanzhou, at least there is no need to worry about the Wu army coming over every day, and you can concentrate your forces to develop to the west.

Now west of Shaozhou, that is, the area where barbarian activities are more frequent, the Chenzhou barbarians, who often raise troops to make trouble, are there.

In the past, Ma Yin was bent on concentrating his forces to confront the Wu State, so he didn't pay enough attention to the barbarians, but now if he concentrates his forces to develop westward, he may be able to build a foundation in those remote places.

"Why did my brother move the capital to Shaozhou? In the opinion of the younger brother, the elder brother might as well surrender directly to the Wu State. With the troops and territory in the hands of his brother, he will definitely be valued when he arrives in Wu Kingdom! ”

As soon as Ma Yin's words fell, while the others were still pondering, one of them suddenly said out loud.

Ma Yin's face was a little unnatural when he heard this, the person who spoke was his own brother Ma Jia.

When Sun Ru was defeated, Ma Yin happened to be with Liu Jianfeng, so he escaped, and after several battles, he laid a foundation in today's Hunan.

Ma Jia's luck was not so good, and he became a prisoner of the Huainan army after Sun Ru's defeat.

However, at that time, Yang Xingmi did not snub him because he was a general, but used him more seriously, so Ma Xingmi began to work for Yang Xingmi.

At this time, Ma Jia gradually became grateful to Yang Xingmi, although he knew that his brother had laid a foundation in Hunan, but he did not want to return to Hunan.

Later, after Yang Xingmi inadvertently learned about this, and Huainan was at war with Du Hong at that time, in order to win over Ma Yin so that he would not dry up Huainan's war against Du Hong, Yang Xingmi forcibly let Ma Hao return to Hunan as a messenger for the two sides.

Although Ma Jia was forcibly repatriated to Hunan by Yang Xingmi, after he returned, he did not forget the task of persuading Ma Yin to make friends with Huainan.

It's a pity that although Ma Jia was immediately awarded the position of deputy envoy of Jiedu by Ma Yin, he did not give him real power and did not pay much attention to his words.

After that, Ma Yin was even more determined to oppose Huainan, which made Ma Yin extremely dissatisfied.

At this time, seeing that Ma Yin wanted to move to Shaozhou to continue the confrontation with Wu after the defeat, Ma Yin naturally couldn't help but persuade him.

"Surrender to the state of Wu?"

Ma Yin didn't have any ideas yet, but many of the generals under his command were moved in their hearts and began to think about the feasibility of surrender.

When Ma Yin saw it, his heart was awe-inspiring.

If someone else descended to Wu State, it might be easy to say, but Ma Yin felt that if he fell, he was afraid that it would not be long before he died.

At that time, Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 to the south, claiming to be 800,000, preparing to sweep Jiangdong in one fell swoop.

At a critical time, Lu Su said to Sun Quan: Other people can continue to be officials even if they are demoted, but Sun Quan is only afraid of his life.

Now it's the same for Ma Yin.

What's more, Ma Yin has been against Huainan a lot over the years, and even the Huainan generals who were captured by Ma Yin in the past were directly killed, coupled with the grievances of the Sun Ru era, the enmity between the two sides is not small.

Therefore, Ma Yin felt that he couldn't descend to Wu even more.

At this time, he saw that many of the generals were pondering, and hurriedly gestured to his close confidant Gao Yu.

Gao Yu immediately understood his thoughts, and hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Over the years, our army has fought against the Wu army, causing them a lot of casualties, and even the captured generals of the Wu army have been directly killed. Yang Wu and others will not forget these things at all. If it really surrenders to the State of Wu, when the other party is liquidated, I am afraid that none of the people present will be able to escape, right? ”

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and immediately knew that Gao Yu was secretly warning them.

Although the current situation is very unfavorable for them, it has not yet reached the point of real desperation, and there is no need to think about surrender so early.

Moreover, now they are all generals of the party who hold great power, if they really surrender to Wu State, with the current system of Wu State, can they still have such a good life after they go? This is obviously impossible.

Thinking of this, the desire to surrender in everyone's hearts couldn't help but fade a lot.
