(I still owe three more~)

If the previous Lu Bu Lu Fengxian gave more impression of his amazing martial arts, then from now on, he really has the capital to compete for the world and is included in the great princes.

Looking at today's power, if it is divided by the sphere of influence under his control, it can be divided into three levels, the first level is such as Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who hold more than one state, Cao Cao, who currently seems to be the weakest among the three parties, also has Xuzhou and the eastern half of Yanzhou; The second level is that Lu Bu has completely controlled a state or a place, and this is not the case with Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Nabashu Zhang Lumo; The third level is to have several counties and occupy a certain advantage, Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, Liangzhou Mu Ma Teng who is now beginning to be strong, and Jizhou Mu Han Fu, who received Liyi and his subordinates.

Below these three levels, it can be regarded as a second-rate force at most, such as Gongsun Zhan, not only has his territory shrunk significantly, but the troops in his hands have also begun to be stretched, if it weren't for the excessive appearance of Liaodong Gongsun Du, who seems to have no ambition, he will be attacked from both sides; Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army ravaged a state, but in the final analysis, it was a rabble, and now no princes can look up to Qingzhou, one is of little strategic significance, and the other is that not many people have discovered the potential value and sufficient military resources here, and like Lu Bu, the discovery place is helpless to be too far away, so you can only think about it; Zhang Yan of Montenegro was first attacked by Lu Bu, and then rejected by Yuan Shao, and the living space was constantly compressed, and it was not easy to connect the counties even now; Lujiang Sun Ce was suppressed by Yuan Shu, even if the pressure was greatly relieved because of the appearance of Wang Lang and others. But it will take time and time to regain the momentum of the past.

As for the small forces of the Ma Teng Alliance, Cheng Yin, Ma Wan and others, they simply call the names of the princes, and their existence can also be said to be the main reason for Ma Teng's growth and development.

However, Lu Bu thought that Ma Teng was going to start, and at most he would take Cheng Yin, Ma Play and others first, and he would let go of Dou Mao, the king of Di, and Han Sui of Jincheng, which is called catching the big and letting go of the small. The eight or nine roads each only occupy a few small forces in a few counties. Even if they join forces, it is not worth mentioning to him, but they occupy the three counties in the center of Liangzhou, who will attack if they don't take them?

But he didn't expect Ma Teng's heart to be much bigger than Lu Bu imagined, no matter which three counties. It is still Hansui's Jincheng County. I don't want to let it go. Only Dou Mao escaped temporarily because of some special aspects of Longxi County and his special status as the king of Di.

Ma Teng's reason for doing it this time is also sufficient, under the banner of the alliance leader. On the grounds of jointly responding to Dong Zhuo's strong attack, he wanted to deprive himself of his military rights without authorization, but although Ma Wan, Cheng Yin and others did not have much power and ability, their hearts were not small, and they were very happy to be the soil emperors in a small place one by one, and after enjoying the taste of power and position, how could they give up lightly, so that there would be contradictions, at least Ma Teng was famous.

With their ability and strength, let alone resist, it is not easy to block the advance of Ma Teng's army, but the terrain of these three counties does not have many dangers, and most of them are corpse vegetarian people, who give Ma Teng the results of the battle in vain.

Among the four counties, the only one who has the power to resist, and the only place where he has made a decent resistance, is Han Sui's Jincheng County.

Yan Xing, as Han Sui's son-in-law, can not be entrusted by him with a heavy task is not entirely due to nepotism and his trusted confidants, and his own ability is also outstanding, at least in the entire Liangzhou, except for a few people such as Ma Teng, Ma Chao and Han Sui, his brilliance is the most brilliant.

The fierce resistance of the Jincheng defenders led by Yan Xing can be said to be beyond Ma Teng's imagination, and for some reason Ma Chao did not fight, Ma Teng simply took command in person.

I didn't expect this time there was a mess, Ma Liangzhou, who had nothing to do, probably didn't know when he angered God, it rained heavily during the march, and the road was difficult, but Yan Xing's troops made a dangerous move, and they had already been ambushed and waited for Ma Teng's army, which was disturbed by the heavy rain and couldn't even operate normally, into the trap, Ma Teng's army was also very human, and his perennial marching combat experience made his senses extremely keen, and he escaped with hundreds of remnants of soldiers by relying on his intuition.

After this battle, although Ma Teng occupied most of Liangzhou and established his hegemony in Kansai, the so-called alliance of small princes in Kansai existed in name only, and Dou Mao, the king of Di, did not come out of Longxi, and Han Sui returned to Jincheng, facing the tragedy of the ruins and walls wailing in pain, waiting to be cleaned up.

Of course, there is also Ma Teng, who has completely torn his face after this, Han Sui has a hard time, and at this moment he received Ma Wan, Cheng Yin and other princes of the Eight Roads to surrender one after another.

It turned out that these guys didn't resist fiercely and ran away very actively, and they took advantage of the chaos to leave when they saw that they didn't know right, if it weren't for the fact that they came and brought a total of more than 10,000 considerable troops to replenish it, Han Sui hated to kill them with a stick.

At this point, Han Sui sat in Jincheng, his general Yan Xing, and the eight generals of the army and horses, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, Liang Xing, Candidate, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi (ranked by the number of remnants of the soldiers brought by his subordinates), secretly united with Dou Mao, the king of Di, and Lu Fengxian, the Marquis of Yuanjiao and Muwen, and Ma Teng, who had several counties such as Wuwei, Beidi, Hanyang, Anding and Wudu, confronted and stands.

The clouds of war are on the verge of breaking out.

……

In Taishan County, Yanzhou, Cao Cao also has a house here, which is located in the northeast of the county seat of Mu County, in a rich man's house.

After many tug-of-war battles, Cao Cao's control over Yanzhou's occupation of this part of the territory gradually strengthened, and on the ground in Yanzhou, he also formed a confrontation with Xu Rong, who had a firm foothold.

Xu Rong has the support of Dong Zhuo's strong forces behind him, but Dong Zhuo is not popular in Yanzhou, after all, the previous Yanzhou pastor Liu Dai died in the fight with Dong Zhuo, although he really didn't die like a state pastor.

If you want to say how much Liu Dai is loved in Yanzhou, it may not be, but today's people can not only have a little impression of the local governor who rules them, but the only thing that can unify their recognition is the name of the Han clan.

Although the princes of the world have risen and the Han family has been in turmoil, but in the end, he has ruled this land for hundreds of years, and the long-term inertia is not easy to change, even if he does not say that he is loyal to the monarch, he does not dare to rebel against the court at will, Liu Dai can be recognized and accepted by the people under his rule without doing anything, and his background identity plays a decisive role.

Of course, whether there is Cao Cao's secret promotion behind this, no one can say.

However, it is obvious that Cao Cao's plan to take the opportunity to provoke the anti-Dong wave of the people in Yanzhou did not start, and Xu Rong's personal force is not very good, but in governing the local area, he has outstanding wisdom comparable to him in military affairs, and his means are also very clever.

In the early days when the rumors were full of sky, he did not choose to suppress them, but waited quietly, but he did not do nothing, but secretly sent people to find the source of the rumors, and when a period of time passed, public opinion gradually dispersed, but he suddenly used thunderous means to sweep away Cao Cao's spies secretly in the territory at one time, and began to clarify the rumors to the people.

At the same time, Xu Rong's ability in civil affairs was also demonstrated, Yanzhou was divided into east and west, and Cao Cao did not pay too much attention to Taishan and other counties as the front line of the battle with Dong Zhuo, but made the civil affairs in the east not as good as in the west.

In this regard, Xu Rong is enough to make Cao Cao cherish and love talents. (To be continued......)
