Ma Teng and Han Sui are both local snakes in the northwest, if Zhu Wei can't get the support of one side, then even if he defeats them in a battle, he may not be able to eliminate them.

Once they are allowed to flee back to Liangzhou and the Northwest Qianghu land, they may be able to bring the Qianghu alien race to attack Guanzhong at any time, and there will be no way to make the northwest land peaceful.

Now if Zhu Wei can win over Ma Teng, he can use Ma Teng to protect the northwest, at least Zhu Wei can temporarily ignore the northern border of Guanzhong and concentrate on the war in the Central Plains.

It's just that although Zhu Wei made such arrangements in the battle in Guanzhong, Zhu Wei is still not sure whether Ma Teng will agree to join forces and serve sincerely, and how the war in the northwest can be fought.

If it really doesn't work, then it can only rely on the strength of the Tiger Wing Battalion to deal with Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Liangzhou soldiers and horses, Zhu Wei also wants to see how much combat effectiveness his carefully trained cavalry army can have.

After sending out the two armies in this way, Zhu Wei also ordered Wei Yan's Jingnan battalion to go to Chang'an to support the Huyi battalion after capturing Hongnong County.

As for the Tiger Wing Battalion, although it went straight to Chang'an, it would take some time to contact Ma Teng, so the main purpose of the Tiger Wing Battalion cavalry was to prevent the two armies of Duan Xuan and Wu Xi of Hongnong County from escaping to Chang'an, so the trip of the Tiger Wing Battalion could be regarded as a retreat for Duan Xuan and Wu Xi.

After sending these two armies, Zhu Wei stopped steadily in Luoyang, and then sent envoys to Xudu, and once again formally asked the Xudu court to "respectfully ask the Son of Heaven to return to Luoyang".

Of course, now Zhu Wei is arranging this way in order to cooperate with Jia Xu's edict strategy.

In order to find an excuse for himself to attack Cao Cao, the success of this edict is naturally a very important matter.

Of course, Zhu Wei knew that Cao Cao would definitely not let the Son of Heaven come to Luoyang, so no matter what excuse Cao Cao found, if there was a so-called edict incident at this time, Cao Cao's charge of holding the Son of Heaven hostage could be confirmed.

At that time, Zhu Wei will also be able to use the name of Qingjun's side and saving the Son of Heaven to send troops to Xu Du in a bright and bright manner.

In this process, Zhu Wei can also look at the results of the battle in Guanzhong by the way, Zhu Wei still hopes that before the official expedition to Cao Cao, there can be a stable Guanzhong that can be used as a rear hinterland.

So time passed in this way, both openly and secretly.

Zhu Wei's army arrived in Luoyang and stationed down, as if they were really repairing the imperial palace for the Son of Heaven, and there was no other action, but everyone in the world knew that Zhu Wei and Cao Cao seemed to be fighting for the matter of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, after Yuan Shao in the north learned about the movements of Zhu Wei's army, he naturally also found Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other strategists to discuss Zhu Wei's behavior, but Yuan Shao didn't care too much about Zhu Wei's actions.

At this time, Yuan Shao was launching the final blow for the final elimination of Gongsun Zan of Yijing, and only after eliminating Gongsun Zan did he have the heart to win the Central Plains.

Cao Cao, who was located in Xudu, also convened strategists to discuss countermeasures, and Cao Cao, as the direct party, seemed to have realized the strategic impact on Zhu Wei after occupying Luoyang, which made Cao Cao feel the urgency of the situation.

Soon Cao Cao sent an envoy to Yuan Shao in the north, and actually proposed to Yuan Shao that he would transfer the Son of Heaven to Yecheng, saying that Zhu Wei was threatening the safety of the Son of Heaven with foreign soldiers, and Cao Cao was afraid that the rebellion would endanger the Son of Heaven, so he hoped that Yuan Shao could protect the safety of the Son of Heaven.

At the same time, Cao Cao also made a request to Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao could send troops from Yecheng through Hanoi County, and join Cao Cao's army to attack Zhu Wei, who is now stealing the imperial capital.

Obviously, Cao Cao had realized Zhu Wei's aggressiveness towards him, and he would rather bow to Yuan Shao, or even send away the Son of Heaven he had held hostage, in exchange for an alliance to unite with Yuan Shao to attack Zhu Wei.

Cao Cao is planning to strike first, as long as he can unite with Yuan Shao to defeat Zhu Wei, then he will face Yuan Shao later, Cao Cao is very confident.

Cao Cao was really jealous of Zhu Wei, this time Zhu Wei sent troops for the purpose, he and his advisers did not realize any clues at the beginning, and even Cao Cao thought that Zhu Wei wanted to directly attack Yingchuan Xudu.

It wasn't until Zhu Wei occupied Luoyang that Cao Cao suddenly realized that Zhu Wei was cutting off his retreat and blocking the possibility that he could escape to Guanzhong.

This made Cao Cao really afraid, which meant that Zhu Wei had already made up his mind to attack him, and Zhu Wei's eyes had seen his front, and even his side had not yet thought of taking Guanzhong as his way out, but Zhu Wei had already thought of it and blocked it.

If such a strong enemy cannot be solved first, then how can it be defeated in the future.

Cao Cao still feels a little lucky, fortunately, there is still Yuan Shao in the north who can be invoked, if there is no Yuan Shao's existence, Cao Cao really feels that he is afraid that it will be difficult to resist Zhu Wei's army.

Cao Cao was already preparing to fight back, of course, he couldn't help but discuss with the strategists below, if he could join forces with Yuan Shao to attack Zhu Wei this time, let Zhu Wei and Yuan Shao both lose, and he would benefit from it, that would be the best.

So Cao Cao actively prepared for war, and on the other hand, he also stepped up contact with Yuan Shao, he seemed to bow his head to Yuan Shao, and he didn't care about his face at all.

After all, it is not easy to say that Yuan Shaoke is moving, but Cao Cao has reached the moment of life and death, where can he still care about this.

At this moment, all parties are preparing conspiracies, cracking each other's moves, waiting for the other party to reveal their flaws and kill them with one blow.

The time gradually came to April 199 AD, and Zhu Wei's wife Wang Yuyan, who stayed in Xiangyang City, finally gave birth to a son for Zhu Wei, and Zhu Wei could be regarded as having an heir.

It's a pity that Zhu Wei is in Luoyang, and he has no time to go back to Xiangyang for the time being, so Zhu Wei just passed on a name and named his son Ding, which can be regarded as a meaning of Dingding the world.

Of course, after Zhu Wei had this male heir, Zhu Wei's subordinates celebrated one after another, and the lord had a successor, and they were finally at ease.

At the same time, the war on the Yizhou side was also going well.

With the surrender of Pang Xi of Jiangzhou with 30,000 Shu troops, Jiangyang County of Yizhou was also easily taken by Gan Ning and Zulang, and then the army of Yizhou went directly along the river, and now it has reached Han'an County of Yizhou, and the next thing is to face Chengdu.

After Liu Zhang's side in Chengdu lost Pang Xi's 30,000 troops, although he gathered nearly 30,000 or 40,000 troops in Chengdu, the people in Chengdu were panicked, and obviously they were not very confident in resisting the armies of Gan Ning and Zulang.

The soldiers and horses of Yizhou have not experienced many major battles, and Zhang Lu has defected, and now the army of Chengdu is just a new army with little combat effectiveness.

At the same time, under the arrangement of Wang Yuyan on the Xiangyang side, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong also sent his younger brother Zhang Wei to lead an army of 20,000 from Hanzhong to attack Zitong County, which posed a threat to Chengdu from the north, so that Liu Zhang had to send the veteran Wu Yi with Yang Huai, Gao Pei and other generals to lead 8,000 troops to the north to resist Zhang Wei's army.

In this way, Chengdu is facing more pressure......
