I screamed desperately, not knowing the solemnity of the atmosphere under the tree at all.

"Liu Bei has lived for more than forty years, and he has been fighting all these years, so he has never been afraid of war."

"Uncle Huang has been up and down, aren't you afraid that once this war starts, you will never be able to stand up again?" Ma Hong sneered.

Liu Bei chose to stab Ma Hong in the back, he had already made a decision at the beginning, made the decision to tear his face with Ma Hong, since he had made a decision, he would definitely not be soft at this moment. But he hadn't figured out whether the young man in front of him was talking too fast, or if he really wanted to fight him.

The weather was hot, Ma Hong and Liu Bei confronted each other, the boy brought the tea made from bamboo leaves, Ma Hong took the tea and drank it all, and then looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei's hand was holding the tea bowl, and his fingers were rubbing on the tea bowl to look at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea from the tea bowl, and then nodded at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei picked up the tea bowl and drank a cup of tea.

"Guests rest assured, this is the tea that my host personally made for you, please feel free to drink it." After the boy had finished speaking, he stepped aside.

In fact, Ma Hong's purpose of negotiating this time is very clear, the most important thing is to ask for Xiangyang City in Nanjun, Xiangyang, as an important town in Jingzhou, has been operated by Liu Biao for many years, the city is solid, and it is the center of politics and economy, and its strategic location is also extremely important, it is the throat of the entire Nanjun, if Xiangyang does not ask for it to come back, it is like a chicken bone stuck in the throat, very uncomfortable.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei naturally understood that Ma Hongming was saying that he wanted to get all the territory back, but in fact, he just wanted to get Xiangyang back.

Ma Hong and Liu Bei's negotiations in the afternoon were fruitless, the two parties went to rest, and in the evening Zhuge Liang came to Ma Hong alone, Ma Hong understood what Liu Bei meant, Liu Bei was going to let Zhuge Liang persuade Ma Hong, of course, he hoped that Ma Hong would shrink his mouth, as long as there was a Xiangyang City.

There is a proverb in history that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and did not pay it back, but Dongwu tried his best to get Jingzhou back from Liu Bei, but it was fruitless, until finally Lü Meng recaptured Jingzhou from Guan Yu. Zhuge Liang came, Ma Hong knew that this was Liu Bei softening to him, once a person lowered his head, he would lower his head a second time, this time Ma Hong wanted not only Xiangyang, but also Xu Shu's head, he told Zhuge Liang that as long as Liu Bei returned Xu Shu's head and Xiangyang, everything should have never happened.

Zhuge Liang negotiated with Ma Hong for a while, seeing Ma Hong's resolute attitude, he could only return, Liu Bei naturally could not hand over Xu Shu's head to Ma Hong, but Liu Bei could not leave Shuijing Villa now, he could refuse Ma Hong's conditions, but he must not leave Shuijing Villa, because once he left Shuijing Villa, it meant that he chose to go to war with Ma Hong, of course, this is the worst plan, now Liu Bei initially decided Jingzhou, if he started a war with Ma Hong, he would suffer heavy losses.

On the second day, Ma Hong and Liu Bei sat under the round table again and began to negotiate, Ma Hong did not budge, Liu Bei agreed to hand over Xiangyang, but refused to hand over Xu Shu's head. The two negotiated until the evening, and Liu Bei made the final concession, in addition to Xiangyang, the three counties of Nanyang, Deng County, Shandu, and Zhuyang, together with Ma Hong, to replace Xu Shu's head.

After soliciting the opinions of Liu Ye, Yang Yi and Li Yan, Ma Hong accepted Liu Bei's conditions.

The twelfth year of Jian'an, June.

Liu Ye moved the county government to Xiangyang, leaving Yang Yi to supervise Nanjun, and Ma Hong merged Deng County, Shandu, and Zhuyang counties into Nanjun, all of which were handed over to Liu Ye. Zhang He, Yang Yi, Jiang Wan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yi, and Zhang Heng assisted Liu Ye in Nanjun.

After Ma Hong settled the affairs of Nanjun, he returned to Nanzhengcheng in Hanzhong and ordered Wei Yan of Pasir County to continue to garrison Pasir County.

In July, Kuai Yue proposed to build a road from Shangyong to Xiangyang, so that in the event of a war, the Shangyong garrison could quickly support Xiangyang. Ma Hong ordered Kuai Yue to take charge of his affairs, and ordered the conscription of 10,000 people in Nanzheng City.

Ma Hong stabilized the situation, and first sent Ma Liang to envoy Cao Cao, who was friendly with Cao Cao, and did not seek official positions from the generals and civil officials under his command.

In order to express his good relationship with Ma Hong, Cao Cao married his daughter Cao Wan to Ma Jian as his wife. and ask His Majesty to seek official positions for the principal officials under Ma Hong.

Ma Hong was given the rank of hussar general.

Gan Ning was the general of Pingxi.

Wei Yan was the general of Pingnan.

Huang Zhong was the general of the hussars.

Pang Tong is the history of Liangzhou thorns.

Ma Liang is the history of Yongzhou Thorn.

…………

After that, Ma Hong carried out a series of military reforms and control, and after consulting with Kuai Yue and Yan Pu, he wrote to Pang Tong, Liu Ye and Yang Fu, and decided to set up five military regions. They are Yongzhou Military Region, Liangzhou Military Region, Hanzhong Military Region, Nanjun Military Region, and Brazilian Military Region.

Under Ma Hong's arrangement, Pang Tong was the commander of the Liangzhou Army, Gan Ning was the commander of the Yongzhou Army, Liu Ye was the commander of the Nanjun Army, Wei Yan was the commander of the Brazilian Army, and Huang Zhong was the commander of the Hanzhong Army.

There were 15,000 soldiers in the Liangzhou legion.

There were 23,000 soldiers in the Yongzhou Legion.

There were 9,000 soldiers in the Hanzhong legionnaires.

Thirty-five thousand soldiers of the South County Legionnaires.

20,000 soldiers in the county of Brazil.

Coupled with the government soldiers of various county governments, Ma Hong's soldiers reached 120,000.

The county guards of Yongzhou and Liangzhou remained unchanged, and Ma Hong reappointed the county guards of Brazil County, Badong County, and Hanzhong County. Hanzhong County, as the largest county under Ma Hong's territory, is also the most economically developed and prosperous county, Ma Hong appointed his wife and father Kuai Yue as the Taishou of Hanzhong, but Ma Hong personally led the army to supervise Hanzhong; ordered Li Yan to be the Taishou of Badong County, supervise Badong County, and assist Wei Yan in defending Liu Zhang; Exceptionally promoted Fei Yi to be the Taishou of Brazil County to assist Wei Yan in defending against Liu Zhang.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an, in October, Fa Zheng and Meng Da wrote to ask for help, Liu Zhang transferred him to Ba County to assist Wu Yi in resisting Wei Yan, Fa Zheng and Meng Da designed to cooperate with Wei Yanli to break Wu Yi in the south of the Dianjiang, Wu Yi led the army to retreat to Jiangzhou, Fa Zheng and Meng Da and Wei Yan made peace, Ma Hong appointed Fa Zheng as the military division of Wei Yan's corps, and Meng Da as the deputy general to assist Wei Yan.

After Fa Zheng and Meng Da defected to the enemy, Liu Zhang suspected Zhang Song, and Zhang Song, with the assistance of Wan Yi, the commander of the ghost pawns, fled to Hanzhong.

Wu Yi was defeated in Dianjiang, and because Ma Hong lured the Nanban to attack Yizhou, coupled with the defection of Fa Zheng, Meng Da, and Zhang Song, Xichuan was in chaos. The officials of Dongguanghan County in Xichuan successively defected to Ma Hong, Wei Yan controlled Dongguanghan County, and Li Yan cooperated with Wei Yan to send troops to attack Jiangzhou.

Wu Yi, Yu Zhang, Yan Yan and Huang Quan and others will defend Wei Yan and Li Yan's army in Jiangzhou.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, in February, under the strategy of Fazheng, the soldiers used the method of digging tunnels to dig the city wall of Jiangzhou, and the city of Jiangzhou was broken, and Wei Yan, Li Yan, and Wang Ping led the army into Jiangzhou. Wu Yi led the remnants of the army to retreat to Jiangyang City, Jiangyang County, the important town of Yizhou Ba County fell, Wei Yan controlled Ba County, and the main force was stationed in Jiangzhou, and then Wei Yan sent Wang Ping to lead the army to attack Fuling County under the suggestion of Fa Zheng, and the defenders of Fuling County were defeated by Wang Ping, and led the people to surrender, and Wang Ping controlled Fuling County. Ma Hong made Meng Da the Taishou of Fuling County.

So far, in the northern part of Yizhou, Padang County, Pasi County, Ba County, Fuling County, and Dongguanghan County have all been classified under Ma Hong's command.
