Xiliang Tianshui Taishou Mansion is lit up, and the wedding of the son of Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng and the daughter of Jincheng Taishou Han Sui is being held. Many wealthy people in Liangzhou came to celebrate, including officials of all sizes in Liangzhou, after all, Ma Teng and Han Sui are the two powerful people in Liangzhou, and the support of these two families is indispensable for the governance of Xiliang.

In the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, a handsome man in a fancy costume was wiping his sword, with a cold light in his eyes from time to time, this person was today's groom official Ma Chao, and Ma Chao actually exuded a faint murderous aura on Ma Chao.

"It turns out that Meng Qi is here, so that the old man is easy to find!" Han Sui touched his beard and walked over with a smile.

"I've seen my father-in-law!" When Ma Chao saw Han Sui coming, he immediately saluted.

"Meng Qi doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly."

"Father-in-law Xie!"

"Meng Qi is wiping the sword?"

"The old man is really sorry for Meng Qi, and he actually let Meng Qi see blood on the day of great joy."

"My father-in-law is serious, my father-in-law married my daughter to Chao, and I want to see blood on my big day, so I'm sorry for my father-in-law."

"Meng Qi, those who become big things are not informal, as long as after tonight, Liangzhou will definitely be in the hands of my son-in-law."

"Super will definitely assist my father-in-law to achieve hegemony!"

"Okay, Meng Qi, it's almost time, you go and prepare."

"Yes, father-in-law!"

In the front yard of the Taishou Mansion, the guests have basically arrived, and the guests are seated on both sides of the hall, judging from the costumes, they are mixed with the Qiang and Han, but in fact they are divided into two main camps, one is the representative of the Sinicized Qiang people, and the other is the representative of the Qiang Han people.

The people of the Sinicized Qiang nationality are easy to understand. It's that the people of the Qiang nationality have been sinicized. Qiang and Han live together. Many Qiang people have gone out of the mountains, carried out Sinicized farming, and even began to learn Chinese, becoming Qiang people who can speak Chinese.

The Qianghua Han people are a bit of an anomaly, which is different from the passive assimilation of Wuhu Chaohua, which is that the Han people automatically Qiangize and become Qiangized Han people. The representative figures are Han Sui and Ma Chao!

The Qianghua Han people are generally the wealthy people of the Han nationality. In particular, the purpose of the Qiang, which holds military power, is to better encircle the Qiang people, let the Qiang people use them for their own use, and strengthen their rule in the Xiliang region through marriage, official sealing, and land granting.

"Hmph, a group of Su Dian forgotten their ancestors!" A cave owner of the Qiang tribe saw a former slave who had become a Sinicized Qiang and ran errands with a Han official.

"Brother, the Han people have the Han lifestyle. We have our way of life, and those doglegs are not going to end well. A village owner handed a leg of mutton to the cave owner. smiled disdainfully, where is the farming life of the Han people interesting to hunt for food by the Qiang people!

"Lord Jiang, it seems that there are still many Qiang people who do not agree with our policy of reassuring the people?" Wei Duan of the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion heard the dispute between the two, and glanced at Jiang Jian, a Sinicized Qiang official, with a smile.

"Lord Wei, our people have lived here since the Yellow Emperor period, and they have had their own way of life for generations. However, he believed that one day, the Qiang people would definitely accept the Han way of life. ”

"I hope for this day!"

"Welcome newcomers!" With the shout of the master of ceremonies, Ma Chao and Han entered the main hall, and the wedding officially began.

"Master Jiang, it's convenient to take it off." Ma Chao and Han held a Qiang wedding, which took half the time longer than the average Han wedding.

"Master Wei?" Wei Duan had just finished going to the toilet when he heard someone whispering.

"Are you?!" Wei Duan saw a lieutenant behind him, but he didn't realize his presence.

"Young General Yan Xing, see Master Wei!"

"Yan Xing? But the brave captain under Han Sui? "Yan Xing still has some reputation in Xiliang, Wei Duan always pays attention to Han Suijun's movements, so he naturally knows Yan Xing.

"Exactly!"

"Captain Han, this is?"

"My lord, time is pressing, I can't say much to you, Han Sui and Ma Tengbu have set up killers, preparing to eliminate all dissidents at the big wedding and further control Xiliang."

"What!" Wei Duan was stunned for a moment, Han Sui and Ma Teng were too bold to actually want to eradicate the officials of the Han Dynasty at the wedding banquet.

"Lord Wei, time is pressing, it is better for Lord Wei to escape from the house first, at the back door of the mansion, turn left after going out, walk forward a hundred meters, there is a down-and-out house, there are civilian clothes and horses in it, please leave quickly!"

"Thank you Captain Yan, I will definitely repay Captain Yan for your kindness."

"Master Wei doesn't have to be polite, it's best to leave quickly."

"Captain Yan, please inform Jiang Yin, who is still at the banquet, and let him act on the opportunity!"

"Command! Master Wei, please leave quickly. ”

"Say goodbye!" Wei Duan arched his hand to Yan Xing, and hurried to the back door.

"Master Jiang, please drink!" Yan Xing entered the backyard of the Taishou Mansion and found Jiang Jian in the crowd.

"Your Excellency, are you?"

"Be careful, my lord, there is fraud in the banquet, Lord Wei will let you protect yourself." Yan Xing told Jiang Jian in a low voice.

"Thank you for the wine, it's really good!" Jiang Jian arched his hand and looked at the surrounding situation, although it was the wedding of the Qiang tribe, there seemed to be a lot more people with armor, it seemed that Han Sui and Ma Chao were really going to do it, thinking of this, Jiang Jian picked up the wine glass and left the backyard.

Seven days later, at the Xudu Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao summoned Lu Rui and Guo Jia in the study.

"Extraordinary, Fengxiao, have you read all the information about Xiliang?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Hmph, it seems that Liu Xie knows the dangers of the bloody edict this time, and the Xiliang Army killed the officials of Liangzhou in a justified manner!"

"This?" Lu Rui and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and they both bowed their heads and were silent, it is better not to take this kind of talk casually.

"Extraordinary, how is the food and grass in the army prepared?" Cao Cao saw that the two did not answer, so he diverted the topic.

"Back to the lord, the grain and grass have been prepared, ready to supply the 100,000 army for half a year, and if there is a bumper harvest this year, it can supply the 100,000 army for a year."

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Bufan, Fengxiao, what information does Yuan Chang have?"

"My lord, the sergeants sent by Yuan Chang have all been killed, even Zhu Wenbo has been injured, and now Zhong Miao is trapped in Chang'an, and the situation of the Xiliang Army outside Chang'an is unknown."

"What? The Xiliang army is so powerful, our army has become blind in Chang'an? Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo's army did not annihilate Han Sui and Ma Teng at the beginning, and these two people still seem to have the ability." Guo Jia arched his hand and replied to Cao Cao, he didn't expect the Xiliang Army to be so powerful.

"Did Ma Teng accept the gift from the court?"

"Back to the lord, Ma Teng has accepted the gift, and at the same time recognized the reward of the imperial court, it seems that Ma Teng still has a heart for the Han."

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded.

"Lord, even if Ma Teng accepts the reward from the imperial court, but this time Han Sui slaughtered officials with dissenting intentions in Xiliang, Your Majesty will definitely not give up, and our army will still have a fierce battle with the Xiliang army!" Lu Rui arched his hand and reminded Cao Cao that although Ma Teng may have the heart to surrender, the situation is pressing, and it is necessary to win a decisive battle.

"What you say is reasonable, tomorrow I will go to Your Majesty and go west to crusade against the Xiliang Army!" (To be continued......)
