Everything seems to be developing according to the established arrangement of Ma Bin and Guo Jia, which makes Ma Bin more confident in the future of the six counties under his jurisdiction.

With the joint efforts of Cai Zhaoji, Yang Xiu and You Heng, the newspaper really has surprises in every issue, and he feels that he has successfully taken a big step forward in controlling public opinion.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered 193 A.D. (the fourth year of the first peace), and in the spring of this year, there was no earth-shattering event in the world.

However, there are a few points that need to be made in particular.

In this spring, Cao Cao pursued and defeated Yuan Shu, the Black Mountain Army, and the Southern Xiongnu in Kuangting for 600 miles. Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian led an army to attack Rencheng in the south of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao led an army to conquer Tao Qian to conquer more than ten cities in Xuzhou.

In this spring, Ma Teng and Qiang Hu made peace with the soldiers, which can be regarded as being honest for the time being.

In this spring, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, who had been fighting continuously, finally quit their troops, but they could not talk about peace. Years of battles have already hurt the other party's vitality, and more importantly, Liu Zhang's strategists Fa Zheng and Meng Da all felt that Ma Bin could not be allowed to escape no matter what. And Yan Pu, who is known as the first strategist under Zhang Lu, also advised Zhang Lu in this way. Therefore, although Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang hate each other to the core, it is rare for the two of them to make the same choice in the matter of the strike.

In this spring, there was also an unnoticed episode, that is, Jia Xu, who betrayed Lu Bu, took refuge in Cao Cao.

However, just after this seemingly calm spring, some bad signs seem to have begun to spread.

Why is it quite calm, because Ma Bin, who has attracted the attention of princes from all walks of life, has not raised troops for more than half a year, which is very abnormal in the eyes of everyone.

Of course, this bad sign was not provoked by Ma Bin, but Dong Zhuo.

What made all the princes of the world unbelievable was that Dong Zhuo suddenly reused Xu Rong, whom he had never wanted to see, and appointed Xu Rong as the general of the expedition to the west, and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. Zhonglang changed Niu Fu from a master to a subordinate overnight, and became the so-called deputy commander.

What made Niu Fu a little unbearable was that Dong Zhuo actually gave Xu Rongsheng the power to kill and take away, so that he had to be afraid of Xu Rong for three points when he had always trampled Xu Rong under his feet.

Although even Xu Rong himself didn't believe it, it did happen.

And since Xu Rong was appointed as the general of the expedition to the west, Niu Fu never seemed to wake up, drunk and dreamed of death every day. It seems that the 10,000 army in front of him has nothing to do with him.

Seeing Niu Fu like this, Xu Rong didn't bother to care at all, in other words, it was very beneficial for him to be drunk and dreaming of death, and there was one less stumbling block when he made decisions.

After all, he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, although he is the deputy commander, he still has a lot of influence in the army.

After receiving the order, Xu Rong sent people to Chang'an to inquire about the situation in addition to arming the army, and finally he learned that it was Li Ru who persuaded Dong Zhuo. said that if the capable generals were not allowed to give it a go, Chang'an would be broken in less than a year.

Although it sounds a bit alarmist, Dong Zhuo also knows how grim the situation is, after all, now Ma Bin has unknowingly sat on 100,000 male soldiers, and the number of soldiers and horses is still growing rapidly, and in the Central Plains, the growth of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others also made Dong Zhuo unable to sleep.

Under Li Rusheng's tearful pleading, Dong Zhuo was moved. However, although he gave power to Xu Rong, it did not mean that he had full trust in him.

In fact, keeping Niu Fu by his side is also to spy on him. However, if Dong Zhuo knew what state his son-in-law was in now, it was estimated that he would vomit three liters of blood directly.

Nam Zheng. Respect for heaven.

After Ma Bin heard that Xu Rong was reused, he immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter.

As soon as he sat down, Yin Feng took the lead in speaking: "Who is Xu Rong?" How has the last general never heard of it! It is estimated that he is just an unknown young general, and the lord is too cautious! ”

Ma Bin glared at him, and then said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang should know this person very well, and I bother General Zhang to talk to everyone." ”

Zhang Liao said: "This person has good skills and is good at strategy. He was indeed a rare general, having defeated Cao Cao's independent pursuit army at the Battle of Bianshui and Sun Jian's troops at the Battle of Liangdong. However, because he had recommended Gongsun Du, who was born in the same county, to Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Liaodong, and later Gongsun Du rebelled, he completely lost Dong Zhuo's trust, but I don't know why Dong Zhuo reused him this time. ”

Yin Bong listened. But quite shocking. He had still heard of Sun Jian's name, and Cao Cao naturally let alone that, he was now in the middle of the day, and these two people died in his hands, so it was conceivable that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"That General Zhang and that Xu Rong want to compare, what?"

Faced with Shi Sun Rui's question, Zhang Liao smiled quite awkwardly and said: "I have never fought before, but Zhang is probably not his opponent!" ”

After hearing this, Ma Bin laughed and said, "General Zhang is really too modest!" Your strength is obvious to all! It must be above that Xu Rong! ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Xu Rong is good at using tricks, Zhang is ashamed!" ”

Guo Jia thought about it and said: "After hearing that Xu Rong received Dong Zhuo's order, he immediately assembled his troops to prepare for battle, and after Ma Teng heard about it, he also hurriedly gathered troops and horses in the direction of Huining. As expected, within a month, Ma Teng and Xu Rong will definitely have a vicious battle to fight near Huining! ”

Wang Meng smiled: "Actually, it's pitiful enough to think about Ma Teng, he just finished fighting with Qiang Hu's 100,000 army, and he hasn't recovered yet, and he has to fight a ruthless character like Xu Rong again!" Fighting endlessly like this, if we send troops again, it is estimated that he will be beaten back to Wuwei again! ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh again.

However, after laughing, when Wang Meng asked Ma Bin if he planned to send troops, Ma Bin still shook his head. He said: "As long as Xu Rong doesn't send troops to attack us, then let him fight with Ma Teng first!" It's better to lose both, and then we'll reap the benefits! ”

"Did the lord summon us?"

Ma Bin stroked his beard with his hand and said: "On the one hand, let you know about Xu Rong in advance, General Ben estimates that we and him will have to fight with him sooner or later, and on the other hand, I will discuss with you who we should take first!" ”

"Dong Zhuo!"

As soon as Ma Bin's words fell, Yin Feng, Shi Sun Rui and Yun Ying almost said in unison.

After Ma Bin smiled slightly, he looked at Wang Meng, and Wang Meng said with a smile: "The last general thinks it's better to kill that Liu Zhang first!" ”

Zhang Liao also agreed with Wang Meng's idea.

Ma Bin smiled and said to Guo Jia: "Sure enough, as expected, it seems that the generals still have different opinions on who to fight next, why don't you bother the military division to help us analyze and analyze?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Let's listen to what the generals say!" But before the generals spoke, they had an idea to tell the lord. ”

Seeing him so polite, Ma Bin hurriedly said, "The military advisor said it's okay!" ”

Guo Jia said: "Now the lord has 100,000 male soldiers, and his strength is strong. However, we have not yet made them impregnable. A few days ago, chatting with Master Yang in Xia, we all thought that it was necessary to build a city tower in Luogu, Meridian Valley, Slope Valley, Plank Road Entrance and Liangjie Mountain, etc., so that Hanzhong could be guaranteed to be foolproof, and the lord could go out on the expedition without worries! ”

Ma Bin hurriedly nodded and said, "Very good suggestion!" Very good advice! In this way, you can really do it as a husband, and you can't open it! ”

When Guo Jia saw Ma Bin agree, he was naturally overjoyed.

After talking about this topic, the focus of everyone's discussion inevitably fell back to the question of who to hit first.

Yin Feng took the lead and said: "Dong Zhuo is already at the end of the crossbow and is vulnerable, but he is still acting as a prestige, slaughtering the ministers, and harming the common people!" If this great evil person is not eliminated, the people of the world will be free from the clutches of the devil forever! ”

Shisun Rui said: "At present, Dong Zhuozhong's betrayal of his relatives is a good opportunity to slaughter him in one fell swoop!" Such a good opportunity, the lord must not miss it! ”

After thinking about it, Yun Ying said with a smile: "The last general is a female streamer, and he doesn't understand any big truths. But the last general felt that if we could snatch the emperor from that Dong Zhuo's hands, and then give orders under the pretense of the emperor's will, it would definitely be a very fun thing! ”

Ma Bin didn't expect Yun Ying to think of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", he laughed and said: "Your female generation's exposition is really unique!" But this idea is really good, and General Ben has discussed it with the military advisor before! ”

"Really? The last general is really casually talking, just casually! Don't laugh, generals! ”

Ma Bin said this, who of the generals would dare to laugh, Yin Feng saw her like this, and quipped: "I heard that Dong Zhuo's wine pool meat forest specializes in accepting beauties, could it be that the female general wants to take your female barracks to the wine pool meat forest to subdue that Dong Zhuo!" ”

"Underdrawn!"

After Yun Ying glared at Yin Feng angrily, Ma Bin coughed twice and said, "General Yin, look at what you said!" There are so many men in our Hanzhong, even if it is not good, we don't need to let the girls in the female barracks make beauty tricks, right? ”

When Ma Bin said this, Yin Feng had to bow his head and apologize.

Zhang Liao said: "The reason that the three generals said to attack Dong Zhuo first is very reasonable! But I don't know if the three generals have thought about it, even if Dong Zhuo is now in decline, his strength is still there, and the people are not under Hanzhong. If you don't consider this layer, have you ever wondered if we can take all the places of Dong Zhuo after we capture Chang'an, and then defend these places. Taking a step back, even if we hold these places, it is very likely that we will face the army of princes from all walks of life in the world! ”

Wang Meng also took the opportunity to say: "The last general also agrees with what General Zhang said!" Although Dong Zhuo is not as good as before, his obscenity among the princes of all walks of life is still there! In the name of the Son of Heaven, he can still suppress the princes of the world a little, once he is destroyed, the princes of all walks of life will definitely not be convinced, especially Yuan Shao and Cao Cao! I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to us Hanzhong at that time! On the contrary, Liu Zhang is now completely like catching a turtle in an urn, who among the princes of the world still cares about his life or death! As long as the lord takes Liu Zhang, destroys Zhang Lu, and sits on Hanzhong and Yizhou, the hegemony of the world can be achieved! (To be continued......)
