Since it comes to Liangzhou pastoral, it is natural to look at the current situation of the entire state and state pastor in the world, and the historical origin of this is the earliest to involve the establishment of the Thirteen Thorn History Department by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (106 BC), in order to strengthen the central government's control over the local government, Liu Che implemented two major strategies, one was the "Tui'en Order" implemented in view of the experience of the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" and the potential threat of the feudal forces; The other is aimed at the central supervision of the local Department of Assassin History, of which the so-called Department of Assassin History, that is to say, in addition to the seven counties near the Beijing Division, the country is divided into a total of thirteen supervision areas, each district is dispatched by the imperial court to investigate the official government in the district, and report illegal county officials and Qiang Zonghaoright, and its jurisdiction is called the Department of Assassination.

Among the thirteen departments of the history of the assassins, eleven of them adopted the legendary names of the states in the "Shangshu Yugong" and the "Zhou Li Zhifang", namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou, and changed Liangzhou to Yizhou and Yongzhou to Liangzhou.

In addition to these eleven states, there are two counties of Shuofang and Jiaozhi, which still use their names, called Shuofang Thorn History Department and Jiaozhi Thorn History Department, and collectively referred to as the Thirteen Thorn History Department, referred to as "Thirteen Departments", one is called "Thirteen Prefectures".

In the eleventh year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (35 years), the Han Dynasty merged the Shuofang Thorn History Department into the State Thorn History Department, and the Jiaozhi Thorn History Department was changed to the Jiaozhou Thorn History Department.

In the fifth year of Emperor Ling's reign (188 years), Liu Hong changed the history of the assassination to the state pastor, directly controlled the military, administrative, civil affairs and other powers of a state, located above the county guard, and the thirteen departments became a first-level administrative division above the county, and since then China's administrative system has changed from the three levels of "central-county-county" to the four-level of "central-state-county-county".

Now the thirteen state pastors of the Han Dynasty are Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Bingzhou Mu Lu Bu, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Liangzhou Mu Niu Fu, Yangzhou Mu Chen Wen, Yanzhou Mu Xu Rong, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan and Sizhou Mu Wei Duan, as well as Liu Yu's death after the death of the Youzhou Mu Invitation Table Gongsun Zhan, since the Qingzhou Mu is actually hidden Hebei overlord Yuan Shao, of course, there may be an exception, that is, Jiaozhou is still called Jiaozhou Thorn History, until the history of Jian'an eight years, Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie and Zhang Jin, the Jiaozhou Thorn History at that time, wrote the Jiaozhou Thorn History to Jiaozhou Mu, but Jiaozhou was almost independent of the entire Han Dynasty hegemony war, and it seemed to be harmless.

Speaking of which, these are all titled by the imperial court, but in fact they may not have so much control, such as Niu Fu, his Liangzhou pastor is actually in the east of Liangzhou, west of Hedong in Guanzhong Gyeonggi part, in fact, it is said to be Liangzhou Mu, it is better to be more like Guanzhong Mu, or Sizhou Mu; And Yangzhou Mu Chen Wen is even more unbearable, not to mention Yuan Shu, who has formed a general trend in Yangzhou and leads Yangzhou Mu by himself, even the newly rising Sun Ce and his gang in Lujiang are not something he can provoke lightly; Then there is Cao Cao in Xuzhou, and there is also a trend of rising on behalf of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, Dong Zhuo's old general of Xiliang, the new Yanzhou Mu Xu Rong who replaced Liu Dai who died outside Yanshi City, for him, there is still a long period of struggle with the local gentry in Yanzhou to gain a firm foothold, and at that time he also has to face Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Yuan Shu and other forces that have grown up and may develop and mature.

The predecessor of this Liangzhou came from Yongzhou, of course, Liangzhou and Yongzhou are not exactly the same, and the history of Yongzhou was later restored, but now it is a vast area west of Gyeonggi, this state is located in a vast area, most places are still vast and sparsely populated, after all, the geographical environment is not so suitable for human habitation, and there are Qiang people will intrude from time to time, even if Han Ma is a warlord who cooperates with Xiliangqiang, it is only for the Beigong tribe of Xiliangqiang, but in fact, these Qiang people are divided into many tribes, The Beigong tribe is just one of the more powerful ones.

Ma Teng raised the question of the Liangzhou pastor after they defected to Dong Zhuo at this time, which was really far enough, but what he said was indeed right, you must know that the Luoyang court, or to put it bluntly, the Liangzhou pastor appointed by Dong Zhuo, is now in Guanzhong to set up a defense line against the Xiliang princes, this person is not in the land of Xiliang, but the princes and generals of Xiliang have to be controlled by it, although it is only in name, but now they do not have the courage to blatantly resist the imperial court, which is really quite tangled.

Think about it, if the generals of Liangzhou really threw themselves into Dong Zhuo, at least he should also give a name, and this Liangzhou pastor should also be promised, after all, although Dong Zhuo used to operate in Liangzhou, but after all, it has passed, and now he has almost no trace here, but Ma Teng and others are sitting here, but it is not excluded that Dong Zhuo is guarding this title in order to take over the territory in the future, but no matter what, for Han Ma, it is definitely advantageous to hold Liangzhou Mu in his hands.

However, when Ma Teng said this, the implicit meaning was obviously that he wanted to be this Liangzhou pastor.

After thinking about it for a while, it can be understood that it is probably the feudal official in the name of the imperial court who is extremely attractive to Ma Teng, after all, his ancestors have also been brilliant, although it is difficult to say that he is still somewhat loyal to the Han court, but he is very yearning for the official position of the imperial court, even if Han Sui actually has this idea, I am afraid that no one will not want to, after all, if there is no name, it is naturally nothing, but in the actual position plus a name is the icing on the cake, no one will not like it.

And to be honest, when Ma Teng mentioned this issue, Han Sui himself couldn't help but be a little tempted, and he was a little greedy, but his head was still sober and he would not lose his reason for normal thinking.

At this time, combined with the attitude of Ma Teng to send his second son Ma Xiu to be a proton, Han Sui suddenly understood a little, this guy just offered to let his second son Ma Xiu go to Luoyang as a proton, where is he really considerate of himself, he obviously wants to exchange such a chip with himself, after all, he even "sacrificed" his own precious son, Han Sui, as his closest ally, couldn't let him suffer, so he had to make up for it from other aspects, such as the position of Liangzhou Mu, even if it can't be said that Han Sui "sent" it to him, But when the time came for the Xiliang princes to fight for this same position, Han Sui not only took the initiative to withdraw and lost a major competitor, but also had to support Ma Teng, so this position could almost be said to be like a bag for Ma Teng.

This made Han Sui feel cold in his heart when he thought about it, although he thought that he was also a ruthless person, but he also recognized that tiger poison does not eat children, but he didn't expect this Ma Teng to hit his son with his idea, although he had three sons, and even Han Sui knew that his eldest son had grown up very well, although for some reason their relationship did not seem to be so harmonious, but it was not enough to affect Ma Teng to regard him as his heir, but a son is a son, which Lao Tzu would think that he has more sons?

He deliberately didn't mention this topic, and instead said: "The matter of Liangzhou Mu can be put aside first, let's think about it first, how to make Yang Qiu, Song Jian and others belong to our banner and become an alliance to challenge Luoyang?" ”

Ma Teng wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all, and Han Sui didn't let him speak, and continued: "By the way, you can't forget that Dou Mao......

"Dou Mao?"

"That's right, it's the king of Nawudu...... Dou Mao. ”
