(Thanks to the book friend "cerryleeon" for the reward and urging support, by the way, I ask you for a collection, not far from the three thousand collection, this is also the first time since the opening of the book so close to this number, although this is nothing for other authors, but for me it is a new high, a record, I hope you will meet my small request, thank you~)
Liangzhou, the land of the western part of the Han Dynasty, is also known as Xiliang.
In the final analysis, the development of the Silk Road is based on a relatively safe and smooth passage, and this qiē is built on the basis of the mighty and strong national strength of the Han Dynasty, and today's Han Dynasty does not meet such conditions, which will cause the current situation but is reasonable. Maybe some accident will happen at any time, and who will want to walk on this road?
Although it is the nature of businessmen to make profits, it is also necessary to consider whether there is a life to enjoy that benefit, not to mention that this level of interest is still far from reaching the point where they can risk their lives for it, and over time this trade route will decay - in fact, the road is still the same road, the road is still there, but no one takes the road, what kind of road is it?
Don't talk about this, let's just say that the current Xiliang, because of the decline of the Silk Road, coupled with the influence of factors such as its geographical location and natural environment, not to mention that it is a prosperous place like the capital, even Youzhou and Liaodong These places can't be compared, because it is too closed here, the natural environment is not good, and the most important ethnic contradiction is very complicated, but it is also such a place, but it is also the current situation that can create heroes, such as Ma Teng, such as Han Sui, and take advantage of the situation here.
I have to say that although Ma Teng also relied on some of the remnants of General Fubo's Ma Yuan, his own abilities and means are indeed extraordinary, and Han Sui was able to rise to the side as a Han official and occupy Jincheng, naturally it is not simple, these two people have a good personal relationship, and at this time they naturally formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and they are a terrorist force in the Xiliang Chaos and even in Guanzhong.
Before that Yuan Shao initiated the convening of the alliance of the princes of the world to discuss Dong, Ma Teng was called to join it, but unfortunately he was different from the other princes of the Seventeenth Road, only he was alone in the west of Luoyang, which made Ma Teng no figure under the tiger prison, although he also tried his best in Xiliang to bring a lot of trouble to the then Hedong Taishou and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.
Of course, this turned out to be not a bad thing, at least the defeat of the Tiger Prison Battle and the final collapse of the Dong Alliance did not seem to have much impact on Ma Teng, his strength was still intact, and although Dong Zhuo won the final victory, he had no time to look west, that is, the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Hedong Guo Tai made trouble, and he only had to rely on Chang'an Niu Fu's own operation to settle it, and he also paid the price, and naturally he was unable to do anything to Xiliang, which gave Han Ma and them plenty of time to develop.
However, this section from Liangzhou to Guanzhong can be said to be a place where soldiers must fight now, and it may not be as favorable as the terrain of Hebei, but it has attracted a large number of people to compete here, such as Song Jian, Yang Qiu and others, especially Song Jian in Longxi, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty, taking advantage of the dispute between Han and Ma to stir up Liangzhou, this person also called himself the King of Heshou Ping Han, changed the year name, and placed hundreds of officials, which can be described as an extremely successful political and military speculator for a period of time, only later in history Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to kill Song Jian, And Xiahou Yuan has also been praised by Cao Cao's "Tiger Step Pass Right", and his prestige is extremely great, but Song Jian's power has been operating here for a long time, and it should not be underestimated.
But now, whether it is Yang Qiu, Song Jian, Han Ma actually has much good feelings, but while they are united with each other, they have to actively improve their relationship with these local small princes. …,
In the final analysis, it is because their own strength is not enough, and there is a Luoyang Dong Zhuo in the east who is eyeing him at any time, so they can't help but be cautious, so they also spare no effort to expand their strength, but Xiliang is really not a good place to develop their forces steadily, and they have always been actively forging ahead towards Guanzhong.
However, it is not easy to get Guanzhong now, although the Yellow Turban Guo Tai has caused a certain amount of chaos, but Niu Fu's personality is naturally stable, and it is not easy for him to make a little mistake, not to mention that since Li Ru incorporated Cao Xing into Niu Fu's command, Cao Xing did not have a sense of rejection after receiving Lu Buming's secret instructions, but actively helped Niu Fu, and with Cao Xing's ability, Niu Fu, who got his help, opened up his mind, and at the same time was steady, but there was no lack of some ingenious thinking.
For example, a relatively mature strategy was adopted in dealing with these small princes of Guanyou, so that Han Ma's plan to unite the princes of Guanzhong at the beginning was stillborn before it began, except for Song Jian and Yang Qiu, everyone else was basically recruited by Chang'an.
However, Han Ma still did not give up, based on Xiliang, cooperated with Xiliang Qiang and the Northern Palace, and secretly continued to accumulate strength.
Now it is a day in the middle of August in the first year of Chuping, the wind in the north of the Saibei as always, blowing away people's hair and clothes, in such a natural climate environment, most of the people here are wearing loose hair, and the clothes they wear are relatively wide and thick, after all, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, in this kind of place is naturally people adapt to the place and dress up.
On this day, Wuwei is also as calm as usual, speaking of Han Sui is indeed good, after all, he is a civil official, and he is even better at governance than the military, this Wuwei City was built by him Although it is impossible to compare with a city like Chang'an, it is also very likely to develop into a bright pearl in Xiliang, the people here live very comfortably, and they are naturally very grateful and supportive of Han Sui, which makes him have a high reputation in the entire Wuwei County.
However, in the military camp in Wuwei City, it is not calm at the moment, and it seems to be extremely lively, in the final analysis, it is naturally the herd mentality, but it is also because there are indeed big events worthy of such a commotion for them, you must know that although Han Sui is not good at military affairs, he is not short of good generals, especially his son-in-law Yan Xing, although he is only in his early twenties this year, he is a young hero, and he has a set of skills in training and managing military affairs, and Han Sui naturally handed over to him in these aspects, and Yan Xing's military discipline is the most important word, In addition, Yan Xing himself had a high prestige in the army because of his military exploits accumulated in the battle and his personal strength, and his soldiers were willing to listen to his words, so such a scene was not common in Han Sui's army.
So what's going on?
Just look at the school field in this military camp now, the surrounding area is full of people at this time, of course, the military discipline is still there, although the commotion is not small, but they still maintain the basic order in the army, and soon there will be officers to organize, the inner layer and the outer layer will soon surround the school field into several circles, and finally basically ensure that they can see the scene inside.
The focus of everyone's attention is naturally in the center of the school field at this moment, where two people are facing each other at this moment.
These two people, both about eight feet long, and both are relatively young, but one is in his early twenties, and the other is even more youthful, looking only fourteen or fifteen years old, but their development seems to be similar, they are both born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and they are strong, but the military generals in their early twenties look ordinary, although a pair of tiger eyes are shining, and they are extraordinary at first glance; And the fourteen or fifteen-year-old young military general was born handsome and elegant, wearing silver armor, silver helmet and silver cloak, all shining in front of everyone, and in terms of momentum, he could still not lose to the other party.
Both of them are armored and fully armed, standing above the war horse, because of the geographical relationship of Xiliang, the others may not be as good as the Central Plains, but their war horse is definitely the best, the war horse of these two people is purebred and relatively advanced, and the two of them are holding the same steel spear, but the steel gun in the hand of the young military general is shining with silver light, which looks gorgeous.
Among these two, the military general in his early twenties is Han Sui's son-in-law and the first general of Wuwei, Yan Xing, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old young military general is Han Sui's best ally, the eldest son of Fufeng Ma Teng, known as "Xiliangjin......
