was sent away, and Ma Chao immediately came to ask for a meeting, which caught Liu Wei off guard.

Allowing Ma Teng to return to Xiliang and continue to lead the Xiliang army, Liu Wei considered just as Ma Chao expected, transferring the Xiliang army back and forth, so that they would always be in a state of war and difficult to develop and grow.

Knowing that Ma Chao asked to see Liu Wei, who was still admiring the fish swimming in the pond in the flower pavilion, he pondered for a while, and then waved his hand to the guard who reported the news and said, "Please come here to meet him!" ”

"No!" The guard answered, turned and ran to the front yard.

After a while, Ma Chao, who was wearing a long robe, appeared on the path to the flower pavilion.

Ma Chao is tall, and his appearance is also quite handsome, and he walks in a tiger style, and he is very famous general.

When he arrived at the flower pavilion, he hugged his fists and bowed, and said to Liu Wei on the flower pavilion: "The last general Ma Chao, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

Looking at the pond outside the pavilion, Liu Wei turned around, raised his hand towards Ma Chaoxu and said, "Meng Qi got up, I just met my father, and you are here again, what is the matter?" ”

Putting down his hands, Ma Chao straightened up, looked up at Liu Wei on the flower pavilion and said, "In the end, I will be here for my father!" ”

Looking down at Ma Chao standing under the flower pavilion, Liu Wei did not say anything.

From Ma Chao's expression, he could see that he couldn't hide his hecticism, and he also wanted to hear what Ma Chao would say.

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" Looking up at Liu Wei, Ma Chao said loudly: "In the early years, the Han Dynasty was controlled by thieves, and the Xiliang Ma clan didn't want to be in the same stream with the thieves, so they took a corner of peace and suppressed the Xiliang Qiang people!" Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, the Central Plains will be restored when he sees it, and Xiliang Ma is willing to be the pawn of His Majesty in front of the horse, and let His Majesty drive him! ”

"Meng Qi's words are quite similar to Nai's father!" With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei nodded his head slightly twice and said, "Xiliang Ma's loyalty can be demonstrated, I already know it!" ”

"Ma's loyalty can be demonstrated, but His Majesty is suspicious!" Standing under the flower pavilion, Ma Chao hesitated for a moment before saying: "My father has the intention to dedicate the Xiliang army to His Majesty, but His Majesty is not willing to shirk it, this is not to believe in my Ma's loyalty!" ”

Ma Chao's words were really said by Liu Wei who was stunned.

If it were another hero, leaving their soldiers and horses to them, they would definitely be grateful, where would they have such scruples!

It was Ma Chao who said this, and when Liu Wei looked at him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he paid more attention to him!

Could it be that Ma Chao has already seen something?

Staring at Ma Chao standing under the flower pavilion, Liu Wei muttered in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Looking up at Liu Wei, Ma Chao continued: "The Ma family has been operating in Xiliang for several years, although there are not many soldiers and horses, there are fifty or seventy thousand people!" Many of these soldiers and horses are Qiang. Although the Qiang people are savage, they are brave and unmatched when they fight. The last general had already heard that His Majesty treated the soldiers as if they were his own, and the soldiers all returned to their hearts. Most of the Qiang people are uncivilized, and His Majesty only needs to give them a full meal, and they will be loyal to His Majesty! ”

Listening to Ma Chao's introduction of Ma's army in Xiliang, Liu Wei did not speak.

The terrain of Xiliang is flat, and both the Qiang and Han people fight there, mostly cavalry.

Although the cavalry of the newly built Han army was strong, firstly, there was a shortage of war horses, and secondly, the training ground was limited, and once they arrived in Xiliang, they mainly had to rely on infantry on the battlefield.

Liu Wei also always wanted a cavalry that could fight independently.

"The last general and my father have just discussed, my Xiliangma clan has left Xiliang and come to Luoyang to settle down, and the army is dedicated to His Majesty, and I hope that His Majesty will not refuse!" Clenched his fists again, when Ma Chao said these words, he was sincere, and he couldn't see the artificiality at all.

Knowing that Ma Chao's move was to see his secret plan to sacrifice the army and seek the survival of the Ma family, Liu Wei was embarrassed for a moment before saying to Ma Chao: "I am not unsubject to the general's courtesy, but the soldiers and horses of Xiliang have been accustomed to General Ma for a long time, even if I appoint another general, I am afraid that the soldiers will be unconvinced!" ”

"Rest assured!" Putting down his fists again, Ma Chao said loudly: "My father will accompany His Majesty to send the general to Xiliang, and when the handover is complete, he will lead his family to return to Luoyang!" ”

After pondering for a moment, Liu Wei finally nodded and instructed Wang Liu behind him, "Invite the frustration to come!" ”

Liu Wei wanted to ask for frustration, Ma Chao, who was standing under the flower pavilion, was stunned for a moment, and asked very suspiciously: "Your Majesty, do you have to appoint frustration to Xiliang?" ”

"Exactly!" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Liu Wei said to Ma Chao: "What the Xiliang army lacks is not a fierce general who can fight well, but a wise general who can strategize. Frustrated and generous, and with extraordinary wisdom, if you place it in Xiliang, I can let go of the heroes elsewhere! ”

"Your Majesty is thoughtful!" Liu Wei planned to appoint Fu Zhu to take over the soldiers and horses, although Ma Chao was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed down, and praised it.

Dedicated to the army, and with Liu Wei's promise, Ma Chao left the palace full of joy.

Looking at his departing back, Wang Liu, who was standing behind Liu Wei, muttered: "This Ma Mengqi is quite strange. Good soldiers and horses, why do they have to be dedicated to His Majesty? ”

"The strategy to protect oneself, this person is not simple!" Also looking at Ma Chao who was gradually moving away, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and said to Wang Liu: "I originally intended to transfer the Xiliang army back and forth, so that they would be exhausted, so that the consumption is too large, and it is difficult for the Ma clan to dominate one side. Ma Chao is afraid that he has already seen this ending, so he specially came to ask me to ask his subordinates to subordinate the soldiers and horses under the command of the Ma clan! ”

Not long after Ma Chao left, the frustrated scholar who had already sealed the Shaofu hurriedly came to the Flower Pavilion under the guidance of the guards.

Seeing that Fu Zhu was here, Liu Wei didn't look at the fish in the pond outside the pavilion, Fu Zhu was still far away from the flower pavilion, and he was already holding his hands behind his back, staring at him from afar.

Finding that Liu Wei was looking at him, he didn't dare to delay at all, his pace under his feet quickened a lot, and he hurried to the outside of the flower pavilion.

Clenched his fists and bowed, bowed deeply to Liu Wei, and said frustratedly: "I heard that His Majesty was summoned, and the minister did not dare to slack off, he was still late, and I hope that His Majesty will forgive his sins!" ”

"Aiqing, get up!" Chao Fuzhuxuan raised his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he said to him: "Since the first battle of Guandu, Aiqing has served me, and for many days, he has always been dealing with some idle affairs. I have the heart to want Aiqing to lead the soldiers and horses, and sit on one side, I don't know what Aiqing wants? ”

Liu Wei said that he would let him lead the soldiers and horses to sit on one side, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his head and asked, "I don't know where Your Majesty is going?" ”

"Xiliang!" He had already made a plan in his heart, and Liu Wei said to Fu Zhu: "Xiliang Ma Clan, sacrifice his soldiers and horses, intending to sneak into Luoyang at home, I think about it, only the Qing family can go to Xiliang to take over the soldiers and horses, I don't know what Aiqing wants?" ”

Standing under the flower pavilion, he hesitated for a while before saying: "Your Majesty is gracious, the minister doesn't dare to refuse, but I don't know, how does Your Majesty want to control Xiliang?" ”

"That's exactly what I want to ask Aiqing!" Looking down at the frustrated professor standing under the flower pavilion, Liu Wei said to him: "Aiqing can tell me, once you sit in Xiliang, how should you build an army, and how should you protect the peace of the party?" ”

"Hui Yu Xià!" Clenching his fists and bowing, he said to Liu Wei in frustration: "Xiliang has been fighting all year round, and most of them are troubled by the Qiang people. The Qiang people are in trouble, because they don't have enough to eat! If the minister arrives in Xiliang, he will divide the fields and pastures among the natives of Xiliang as His Majesty did in the Central Plains, and migrate the population from the Central Plains to live with the Qiang people! Over time, the Qiang people intermarried with the Han people, and the children born were all Han Chinese. In less than 20 years, His Majesty will be able to make Xiliang a place that is all my Han people! ”

"What a plan to dig trees and find roots!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei nodded, and said to Fu Zhu: "In this way, my Han foundation in Xiliang will be stable. It's just that Aiqing has arrived in Xiliang, and she must deal with Han Sui carefully! ”

"Han Sui must be broken!" Holding his fists again, he said to Liu Wei: "The ministers will rest and recuperate first, and then launch a fierce attack on Han Sui when the Qiang people in various places know His Majesty's generosity." At that time, the Qiang people intend to be ruled by His Majesty, and they will definitely raise troops to help. The two phases are flanked, and even if Han Sui has three heads and six arms, he will definitely end up in defeat and life and death! ”

With his hands behind his back, looking at the frustration standing under the flower pavilion, Liu Wei nodded and said: "That is the case, Aiqing can go back to prepare first, bring grain, grass and armor in a few days, and go to Xiliang with Ma Teng!" ”

"No!" Answered, frustrated and said to Liu Wei: "If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, the minister will retire!" ”

"Go ahead!" Raising his hand towards him, Liu Wei said lightly: "Xiliang has been stable for a long time, and it will be handed over to Aiqing!" ”

originally thought that the army would seize Liaodong, and it would also need to move to Xiliang in order to completely pacify the north.

But the arrival of Ma Teng's father and son made Liu Wei know that there was an opportunity in front of him now.

Once he seized this opportunity, the pacification of the north could be achieved in a short period of time, and then he knew that he needed to order the army to go south, and uproot the heroes entrenched in the south one by one, and the world would return to the hands of the Han court!

Frustrated and left, Liu Wei walked down the flower pavilion with his hands on his shoulders and his steps gently.

Standing under the flower pavilion, he looked up at the blue sky, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Xie died, Liu Wei was in Luoyang City, and he didn't have much effort at all, so he collected Ma's soldiers and horses in Xiliang, and in the distant territory of Liaodong, a large army was slowly advancing towards Xiangping City.

Leading this army is the newly sealed King of Hejian Lu Bu and the right prime minister Pang Tong!

Liu Wei ascended the throne, the Great Qin army was rebuilt into the Han army, and new battle flags were also sent from Luoyang.

The new battle flag completely abandons the background color of the past ink-colored battle flag, and changes to the color of red, which is the same as the Han army battle flag before the fall of the Han Dynasty, which is the general appearance!

Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse, was also unusually proud.

There are countless fierce generals under Liu Wei's command, but he is the only one who is crowned king!
