And the state, Taiyuan County.

Jinyang City.

This antique city, built in the Spring and Autumn Zhou Dynasty Jing Wang 23 years, is in the Taiyuan Basin, surrounded by mountains, the middle of the flat, the Fen River and the Jin River converge, the population is concentrated, it is the most prosperous city in Bingzhou.

In the fifth year of the Warring States Period, Cao Cao destroyed the Jin Dynasty, Ma Chao withdrew from Jizhou, and tens of thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry attacked, directly defeated the soldiers and horses of Gao Gan, occupied the state in one fell swoop, and opened the government to be autonomous.

He put the place of governance in Jinyang City.

Today's annexed state is a small vassal state under the command of Liang State, since Ma Tengli Prince Ma Xiu, Ma Chao turned his face to Liang Guo and directly cleaned up the officials sent by Ma Teng.

Ma Chao has been fighting for many years, and the team is very strong, with elites such as Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command, and generals such as Eight Athletes.

The relationship between Bingzhou and Liangguo became a little complicated, Ma Chao did not put up an anti-flag, but for Chang'an City, he did not choose to obey orders.

Maybe it had something to do with his mood.

He was disappointed in Ma Teng, but he also maintained a glimmer of hope, not yet completely hopeless.

Jinyang City, located in the northwest, spring also comes more leisurely and slowly, in May, in Jiangdong has begun to prepare for summer, and then Bingzhou is still a strong breath of spring.

The General's Mansion.

The general is the general of Liangguo, and Ma Chao is the general of Liangguo.

Above the spacious lobby, Ma Chao was wearing a brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, and his burly tiger body sat at the head of the lobby, and sitting on the lower left side of him was a scholar.

The scholar's surname is Meng. Famous building, the word public authority.

"Gongwei, my father has ordered a certain part. Starry Night led his troops south, flanked back and forth, and defeated Han Sui in Hedong, how should he respond? ”

Ma Chao's tiger eyes were like blades, and he looked at Meng Jian and asked.

Meng Jian is a great talent in Jingzhou, born in Lumen Mountain Academy, after Ma Chao was defeated in Xiangyang City. The talent encountered, this person has the talent of a strategist, and Jingzhou fought a battle. Ma Chao's tens of thousands of iron horsemen were buried by the flood and could barely get out of Jingzhou, and it was this person who helped him to bring the remnants of the army. Return to Ryokuni.

After joining his command. Meng Jian admonished him many times, helped him govern the state, and made the rules and regulations of the state management reasonable, Ma Chao trusted him very much and respected him very much.

"The prince, the state and the Liang country are one, the king's order, you should obey it!"

Meng Jian gave up. Speak your mind.

Ma Chao has not erected any anti-Liang country banner now, and he has already represented. He is still the general of Liangguo.

"Compliance?"

When Ma Chao heard this, he smiled coldly and said: "When my father immediately retired as the crown prince, I have thought about how I felt, he always had a problem with a certain person, so why should I care about the life and death of a certain country!" ”

He always had Ma Teng in mind that Ma Teng had made Matthew the crown prince, and although the relationship between their father and son had not been very good, he believed that as long as he performed well enough, his father would be able to see his existence.

However, this time his sincerity was cold.

When Matthew was made the crown prince, it meant that there was already an abyssal gap between their father and son.

Of course, he can't let go of Liangguo, without the assistance of Liangguo, he can't stabilize the annexation of the state, and the merger state is now in an environment that is eyeing the tiger.

Adjacent to Jizhou and Youzhou, it is equivalent to adjacent to Wei and Wu, Huang Zhongtun troops at the cost, Cao Hong's camp is in Shangdang.

Polemics, he is not afraid, but when it comes to stabilizing and merging states, he must be assisted by Liang Guo before he can do a good job, so now the relationship between Bingzhou and Liang Guo wants to be independent but there are constant cuts.

"Prince!"

Meng Jian naturally understood Ma Chao's mood, he smiled, and said indifferently: "The matter of the prince is not irreparable, he is just a prince, not the king of the Liang Kingdom who has already taken the throne." ”

"But with his father's support for him, he is already the heir of the Liang Kingdom!" Ma Chao said coldly and arrogantly: "Could it be that the country that a certain family was born and died down is going to be handed over to him?" ”

Liangguo was not fought by Ma Teng alone, but it was he and Pang De who supported him left and right, so that Ma Teng was able to live in Guanzhong and establish Liangguo.

"The prince doesn't need to be disappointed, in the Liang country, the prestige of the prince and the prince, just a Ma Xiu, how can he stand side by side with the prince and the marquis, even if the king supports him, is it possible that there are many reasonable people in the court of the Liang country, how can he be allowed to take the throne smoothly, and just one annex state cannot support the hegemony of the prince and the marquis, the Liang country is the prince's, and the conquest of Hedong should not be?"

"Yes, indeed!"

Ma Chao's eyes were bright and bright, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Liangguo is certain sooner or later, why should you mind so much!" ”

In fact, he didn't take Matthew in his eyes, what he wanted was Matten's attitude.

"Prince, the king has the heart to win the battle, and the state should do his best to help!"

Meng Jian suggested: "Han Sui has been in Liangzhou for many years, not to be underestimated, and now Wei is also eyeing Hanoi, this battle needs to be resolved quickly!" ”

"It seems that a certain person is going to lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to go on a trip in person, in the past, a certain martial art was not successful, and he was defeated by Yan Xing, and he should wash away the shame of a certain family in a war!"

Ma Chao nodded, with a strong sense of war in his expression.

Yan Xing, the strongest general under Han Sui, practiced qi to become a gang realm, Ma Chao was young in the past, and the relationship between Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang was not so stiff, and the two of them fought several times, and he was defeated in his hands.

For a general, defeat is not shameful, but it is shameful that he can't find the field back, he needs to defeat Yan Xing in person to get the honor of a general.

"Junhou, his subordinates oppose Junhou's personal conquest!" Meng Jian said suddenly.

"Why?" Ma Chao frowned.

"Now the king has General Pang De under his command to help, and Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Yang Qiu, and the three generals under the command of the prince have all been stationed in Shangjun, Xihe and Shangdang, as long as they work together to go south, nearly 150,000 elite lions will definitely be able to defeat the Jin State in one fell swoop!"

Meng Jiandao: "Why do you need the prince to fight in person? ”

Pang De is the most capable person in Liangguo besides Ma Chao, who grew up with Ma Chao and is loyal to Ma Teng.

And Ma Chao has eight strong generals under his command, and Eight Jian will be the most capable generals under Ma Chao Pang De of Liangguo. Now that they are all in the annex state, and three of them are assisting in the south, there is no need to question this battle.

"Gongwei. The father's order is that a certain person personally leads the army to fight, and can he not fight? ”

Ma Chao thought about it, but still didn't understand.

"Prince, the matter of the Jin Kingdom, there is a great king's personal expedition, you only need to send troops to assist. Why worry, it's time for us to do something else! ”

Meng Jian said calmly.

"Something else?" Ma Chao's eyes widened.

"For example, Chang'an City!"

The corners of Meng Jian's mouth raised a somewhat grim smile. Said word by word: "Is the prince willing to let the position of the prince always be in the hands of Ma Xiu?" ”

"Gongwei, even if you are not satisfied with your father, you can't oppose him!"

Ma Chao's heart moved. Upheaval in complexion. Hurriedly said.

"Junhou, I didn't let you oppose the king, I just reminded Junhou that now that the Liang Kingdom is pouring out, Chang'an City needs someone to suppress it, otherwise the Liang Kingdom will be in chaos!"

Meng Jian shook his head, changed the topic, and said a little calmly.

"Gongwei. The more you say, the more confused you become. What does this mean? ”

Ma Chao squinted slightly, stared at Meng Jian's cheek, and asked in a deep voice.

"Junhou, going south at this moment, for Junhou, killing two birds with one stone, one is the position of the prince, taking advantage of the prince's personal expedition to seize the position of the prince, it is a God-given opportunity, and the second is to guard against Sima Yi, the king has no doubt about Sima Yi's trust, I don't know if the prince can trust this person?" Meng Jian asked.

"Sima Yi's actions are strange, and it is indeed a little suspicious."

Ma Chao's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "A certain intuitive behavior, a few years ago, a certain person was a little suspicious that he had a slight connection with Wei Guodang, but his father trusted him undoubtedly, and the Sima family did his best to help Liang Guo and stabilize Guanzhong, so he couldn't figure it out!" ”

"Junhou, now the situation is not clear, don't say who he Sima Yi is, just ask Junhou a word, the king goes north, if there is a rebellion in Liangguo at this time, Ma Xiu can have the ability to suppress Chang'an?" Meng Jian asked.

"Humph!"

Ma Chao snorted coldly and said: "Ma Xiu's ability is just a gentleman, if there is a change in Guanzhong, Chang'an will bear the burden, what ability can he have to suppress Chang'an!" ”

"Isn't this right, whether it's for the prince himself, so for the sake of the cool country, at this moment, the prince should go south quietly!"

Meng Jian said categorically: "The king is in a hurry, thinking that this is the time for the Wei State to recuperate and recuperate, and destroy Han Sui in one fell swoop, however, the Wei soldiers are strong and strong, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou have been peaceful for many years. ”

"Gongwei, haven't you always advised a certain person not to go against his father, and now without the order of his father, a certain family is going south, isn't it intended to rebel?" Ma Chao was a little moved, but his face was a little hesitant: "If it weren't for my father's autumn queen to settle accounts, what would be a good situation?" ”

For Ma Teng, he always has a trace of his father's respect, even if he has a force that is not weaker than Ma Teng.

"Prince, this time, that time!"

Meng Jian smiled and said: "Sitting in the town and state, tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses under the command of the prince, the Liang country can fight the generals, eight or nine out of ten are born under the command of the prince, as long as the prince does not erect a rebel flag, there is no rebellion against the king, what is the other to fear!" ”

"What about the merger?"

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, gritted his teeth, and asked: "A certain person is sitting in Bingzhou, and Jizhou Youzhou Qiu is not guilty, but if a certain person leaves Bingzhou for half a step, it is difficult to remember that they will peep into the land of Bingzhou!" ”

Wu and Wei are both eyeing the state, he doesn't know it, but he sits in the state and has strong soldiers and horses, but he is not afraid of Youzhou and Jizhou.

Now, if he leaves the state, I am afraid that the state will be on fire.

"There are General Cheng Yin and General Candidate in the state, and for a while, there will be no obstacles!" Meng Jiandao: "The most important thing at the moment is that Guanzhong, the prince, and the state can be chaotic, but Guanzhong can't be chaotic, if Guanzhong is chaotic, Liangguo will be chaotic, which is more important, you have to think clearly!" ”

"Guanzhong?"

Ma Chao's tiger eyes burst out with a cold glow: "Wei is eyeing Guanzhong, and now building a new capital on the old city of Luoyang, the general trend of settling in Guanzhong is obvious, such a good opportunity, they will definitely not let it go, so, Gongwei suggests, a certain town in Chang'an, right?" ”

"The prince is discerning!" Meng Jian nodded with a smile.

"It's inevitable that things will go south, it's ugly!"

Ma Chao groaned, with a touch of ruthlessness in his resolute expression, and said: "In this case, a certain should be decisive, public authority, and a certain prince will be abolished." ”

"Subordinates should plan one or two for the prince!" Meng Jian nodded, a clear glimmer in his deep eyes.

As long as Ma Chao can return to Chang'an City, all the protagonists of this Guanzhong drama will be in place, and the matter of a prince of Liangguo is no longer important.

The next incident, even Ma Teng may not be able to survive, Ma Xiu, but just a little minion. (To be continued......)
