Chapter 290: The Disaster of Xiao Wall Rises Again

"Don't worry, I will try my best to arrange this matter, in fact, this matter is not something I can decide, it all depends on whether my eldest brother still has a conscience in his heart, if it is really hopeless, I have no choice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Liu He sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's just that before his matter is resolved, I have to wronged you to continue to stay here." ”

"Haha, what's this? In fact, no matter where I am now, it doesn't matter if I am an official or not, the last time Chao'er, a little beast, disregarded my life and death and led the army to besiege Chang'an, I should have died, and you just used a death row prisoner with a similar face to me to die on my behalf, which is enough to show affection, alas, now that I think about it, your half-son cares more about my life and death than my own son, to be specific, it should be more want me to live, and I don't know if this beast has ever regretted it in his heart? ”

Ma Teng said to the end, with a hint of resentment on his face.

Liu He was silent when he heard this, he understood Ma Teng's mood very well, comforted Ma Teng a few words, and then returned to his mansion, and sent people to pay close attention to the movements in Chencang and Jincheng and other places.

During this period, Liu He began to actively prepare for the reopening of the Silk Road, he first vigorously restored the three cities of Chang'an, ordered the reduction of taxes, and activated commerce, as a result, merchants came in a row, and commerce soon prospered, and in just two months, Chang'an once again became the most prosperous city in the world, and even Xu Du, who was known as the foot of the Son of Heaven, was quite inferior.

After this, Liu He began to prepare for the reopening of the Silk Road step by step, in fact, now all the work is almost ready, the only thing left is the security of Wuwei and stability, before this problem is completely solved, Liuhe will never easily reopen the Silk Road, and the key to this, naturally is the coalition of Ma Chao and Han Sui, as long as this army is completely defeated, then the security of the Silk Road will be completely guaranteed, and Chang'an will regain its former prosperity.

Although he was very anxious in his heart, Liu He knew that he couldn't be too anxious about Ma Chao and Han Sui's affairs, otherwise it would cause a situation where 70,000 or 80,000 people would join forces to fight, although Liu He did not put these 70,000 or 80,000 people in his eyes, but once the war broke out, it would cause the Guanzhong region to fall into war again, which was very unfavorable to the development of Guanzhong's economy.

Not to mention anything else, only the right Fufeng area, after these several changes of hands, but also in the absence of a large-scale war in the case of change hands, the economic development here has been very withered, many people in order to be able to live a stable life, with their families, uprooted their hometowns to Chang'an, or Zuo Fengyi, or stability, resulting in the right Fufeng population does not exist one in ten, and the economic development situation is worrying.

In order to do his best to reduce the scale of the war, or on the other hand, at least not to let the flames of war burn in his jurisdiction, Liu He had to wait patiently, believing that the collapse of the Yongliang coalition army was imminent.

In fact, Liu He's guess is very accurate, at the beginning Ma Chao, Han Sui and other Five Route warlords still maintained restraint, although there were some disputes between each other because of the distribution of territory, the supply of grain and grass, etc., but Han Sui, as the initiator of the war, still undertook most of the supply of grain and grass, and arranged for the Five Route warlords to arrange a station.

However, only two months later, the conflict erupted.

It turned out that although Han Sui was able to provide grain and grass for the Five Route Warlords, after all, the grain and grass that Jincheng and Hanyang County could provide was also limited, and Han Sui proposed to let Ma Chao also share some, but Ma Chao refused on the pretext that Chen Cang was the front line of resistance to Liu He and there were not many grain reserves. Of course, the warlords of the Five Roads were dissatisfied with this, but after all, they still needed to rely on others to provide food and grass, so there was no way to ask for more, so they targeted the people of Hanyang County, and began to connive at the soldiers and horses to loot the people, which caused the people's resentment to boil, and the people who were knocked out of the bones had no choice but to rise up and lead the army to resist, among which the leader of the most fierce and powerful team was named Lu Yan.

This Lu Yan is a person from Xiping, the same clan as Lu Yi, and also the Xiping clan, originally dissatisfied with Han Sui's unauthorized war, and now he sees Han Sui leading the wolf into the office, causing the Five Route Warlords to wreak havoc on the people, Han Sui turned a blind eye, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was strong to the extreme, so he began to raise troops to resist, although this Lu Yan has a considerable gap with Lu Yi in martial arts and generals, but it is not a mediocre person, leading the army to avoid the real attack, day and night, it did cause a lot of trouble to the Five Route warlords, The warlords of the Five Routes united and launched an encirclement and suppression of the Koji Yan, and in the end, the Koji Yan was outnumbered, and after the defeat, he actually fled to Liu He by means of stability.

Although the rebellion of Lu Yan was quelled, but the contradiction between Han Sui and the Five Route Warlords broke out completely, after Lu Yan fled, Han Sui summoned Ma Chao and the Five Route Warlords to discuss how to avoid similar things from happening again, during which Han Sui proposed to let the Five Route Warlords restrain themselves and stop doing things that intensified the contradictions, but it caused the dissatisfaction of the Five Route Warlords, Cheng Yin first spoke: "If you don't make up for us to provide enough food and grass, where is it necessary for us to invade the people?" ”

Cheng Yin's words were unanimously agreed by the other four-way warlords, but Han Sui was very angry, but he patiently explained the reason, it was not that he didn't want to provide grain and grass, but that the grain and grass were not enough to make ends meet, where did the five-way warlord believe it? All of them were brought up, if it weren't for Han Sui, how could they have lost their fundamental ground, how could they have fallen to the point where they are today? As a result, now, they have lost their roots, and they want to ask for some grain and grass, but Han Sui refuses, which is really unfair.

Then in the evening, the warlord of the Five Roads quietly found Ma Chao, saying that he wanted to take refuge in him, and asked him to help send troops to deal with Han Sui together, and promised that once he succeeded, Hanyang County and Jincheng County would be handed over to Ma Chao, they just temporarily borrowed the land of Jincheng, and when they captured Wudu, they would give Jincheng to Ma Chao, and swore to be loyal to Ma Chao for the rest of their lives.

Ma Chao coveted Han Sui's territory, and at the same time hoped to get the allegiance of the Five Route warlords, so even if he agreed to their request, he quietly transferred 10,000 troops from Chen Cang and attacked Han Sui at night with the Five Route warlords.

In fact, Han Sui was guarding against the attack of the five-way warlords at the beginning, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to also participate, so an ambush war evolved into a fierce fight between the two sides, and as a result, because the five-way warlords had an absolute advantage, Han Sui was finally defeated and left, only leading a few hundred people to flee to Qiangzhong, so Ma Chao and the five-way warlords carved up Hanyang and Jincheng two counties together.

However, the civil strife between Yongliang and Yongliang was not over, and then Liu He got the news that Ma Chao was attacked by the five warlords, and fled in defeat, and his whereabouts are unknown.

"Haha, God really help me, now that Han Sui and Ma Chao have all fled, then we can lead the army to justifiably crusade against the Five Route Warlords, pass on my order, the Zhulu army is ready, and set off early tomorrow morning to conquer the Five Route Warlords and completely pacify the Yongliang region." After Liu He heard the news, he couldn't help but rub his hands and immediately gave an order.
