With the end of the battle of Jizhou, the situation in Donglai has also changed......

Liu Chuang's shipbuilding skills in exchange for Donglai as a free trade zone will also accelerate the development of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

With the help of Gan Ning, Lu Xun quickly stabilized the situation in Donglai.

Cao Cao saw that Liu Chuang had stopped expanding westward, so he agreed to a truce between the two sides with Gushui as the boundary. However, whether it is Liu Chuang or Cao Cao, they all know that this is just a temporary truce. Once the two sides regain their vitality, disputes will inevitably arise again.

At that time, the entire Jiaodong will inevitably be in flames.

Therefore, after Lu Xun received the notice, he quickly changed his policy and began to increase the development of Jiaodong.

A large number of Sanhan prisoners were sent to Jiaodong to work as coolies, and a large number of Xianbei prisoners of war were also sent here...... The population controlled by Lu Xun's subordinates surged several times at once. He ordered Wei Yue to build a dock fort on the line from Yangqiu Mountain to Gushui, open a military town, and promote Tuntian. Jiaodong began to Tuntian as early as the second year of Jian'an, and it has a good foundation in the people. It's just that Lu Xun implemented the military camp in accordance with the government military system, and on the surface, only some coolies and prisoners of war were added, but in fact, it quietly strengthened the defense of Jiaodong.

It's just that this effect still needs time to verify......

The fighting in Donglai subsided, and Liangzhou also stopped the offensive.

After Ma Chao occupied Fengyi Mountain, he was reluctant to continue his eastward advance; Liu Chuang ordered Zhang to be the Taishou and let him continue to stay in the Northland.

The reason why Zhang was appointed as the Taishou of Beidi was also Zhong Xuan's mention.

"Liangzhou is barren, but it is quite xenophobic.

Non-Liangzhou scholars are not allowed to be accepted by the local people, which is almost like separation. Although Ma Chao swept Liangzhou today, no matter whether it was qualifications or fame, it was far from enough to convince the public. thought that his son Ma Teng seemed to be strong at the beginning, but in fact he was just a pawn of Han Sui. Why? Gaina Han was a famous man in Liangzhou, so although Ma Teng was brave, it was difficult to be dominant. Meng Yan wants to settle Liangzhou. It is also necessary to remember that Liangren governs Liangzhou, otherwise it will be chaotic. ”

In fact, this situation is not unique to Liangzhou.

Almost everywhere there is a strong territorial protection, and it is difficult for outsiders to set foot in it.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an official who took office in Nanyang.

As a result, when he arrived in Nanyang, he found that he couldn't meddle in Nanyang's affairs at all. In desperation. He had to ask a local taxi to help him with his rule. said that it was assistance, but in fact, all the big and small things were handed over to the celebrity. And he simply couldn't get involved. Fortunately, the scholar's ability is not bad, and Nanyang is well organized. After the official took office in Nanyang for three years, he was impatiently transferred out of Nanyang.

It's the same in Liangzhou.

Looking at the officials of all sizes in Liangzhou, almost all of them are locals in Liangzhou, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere.

What Zhong Miao said was a golden and jade good word.

He has been an official for many years, and after several ups and downs, he knows the style of officialdom in various places well. In terms of ability, Xun Chen may not be inferior to Zhong Xuan. But when it comes to understanding officialdom. Ten Xun Chen combined, I'm afraid it can't be worth one Zhong Xuan. This guy is an old oilman in officialdom. If Liu Chuang wants to lead the court in the future, an old oilman in the officialdom like Zhong Xuan is indeed indispensable.

Listening to Zhong Xuan's reminder, Liu Chuang was suddenly stunned.

"I've heard of Zhang Derong. Although his reputation is not obvious, his ability is indeed good.

It is indeed difficult for you to let him march and fight. But if he is allowed to govern the place, it will be more than enough. At the beginning, he was in Xinfeng and was the first of the three auxiliaries. Even Wei Duan and these people were full of praise for him. This person I heard about when I was a lieutenant. I was going to do it again in a few years. But I don't want to...... If you want to really set foot in Liangzhou, you have to enable this person......"

Zhang Derong is Zhang Ji.

Liu Chuang originally planned to let Yang Wei be the Taishou of the Northland, but now that it sounds, it still feels a little inconsiderate.

"But how do you bring this man to his heart?"

Zhong Miao smiled: "What's so difficult about this? I wrote to him, and he would not refuse. ”

This is the difference between Zhong Xuan and Xun Chen.

is also a famous person in Yingchuan, and he is also from a prestigious family.

But in terms of status, Xun Chen is a step above Zhong Xuan.

But when it comes to influence, Xun Chen can't beat it. Zhong Xuan is well-informed and has a wide range of contacts. Now that he has demoted Liu Chuang, he will not be willing to be under Xun Chen. Than Gambit? Zhong Xuan thinks that he is not as clever as Xun Chen. But compared to communication, connections, and prestige, Xun Chen is far from being able to compare with Zhong Xuan.

From Zhang Ji's matter, Liu Chuang saw Zhong Xuan's energy, and even more saw Zhong Xuan's wisdom.

If it is said to be a suggestion, no matter how powerful Zhong Xuan is, it is only between him and Xun Chen.

And Xun Chen has been following Liu Chuang for a long time, and it can be said that when Liu Chuang was in the most difficult time, he began to help Liu Chuang, and the feelings in this are deep.

Therefore, Zhong Xuan was not prepared to compete with Xun Chen for the position of the mastermind from the beginning.

He made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses and took the auxiliary route.

I'll help you open up all kinds of relationships, and you won't be able to underestimate me.

Sometimes, networking is also a competency......

Sure enough, after Zhang Ji received Zhong Xuan's letter, he decided to surrender without hesitation.

Previously, Zhang Ji opened the Northland Pass for Zhao Yun, but in his heart, he was unwilling to surrender like this. Who would have thought that Zhong Xuan's letter would make him change his mind. Zhang is not only convinced of Zhong Xuan, but also respects the identity of Liu Chuanghuang's uncle.

Liu Chuang immediately ordered Zhang to be the Taishou of the Northland, and worship Yang Wei as the captain of Lingzhou.

The character of this Lingzhou lieutenant is to guard the Shizui Pass for Liu Chuang and ensure the smooth communication between Shuofang and Xiliang.

Yang Wei only joined Liu Chuang not long ago, but he was recommended by Kong Rong, and he participated in the Battle of Xiliang, so it was more than enough to be a lieutenant in Lingzhou.

After Zhang Ji surrendered, he immediately recommended Zhao Ang and Zhao Weizhang, a Hebei person from Hanyang County, to Liu Chuang.

This Zhao Ang is well-known in Liangzhou, and now he is the Qiang Dao Order.

In the original history, in the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao besieged Jicheng, and the city was hungry, so Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weikang, that is, the son of the current Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weiduan, did not want to fight again, so he surrendered the city. Zhao Ang dissuaded Wei Kang at that time, but Wei Kang refused to listen.

Later, Ma Chao treacherously killed Wei Kang, took Zhao Ang's son Zhao Yue as a hostage, and coerced Zhao Ang to be used by him.

However, Wei Kang was loyal and conspiracy to join forces with Liang Kuan and others to avenge Wei Kang and raise troops to fight against Ma Chao...... In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Zhao Ang and his wife Wang Yi held on to Qishan for 30 days, waiting for Xiahou Yuan's reinforcements. But his son Zhao Yue. But in the end, he was killed by Ma Chao.

From the Battle of Jicheng to the Battle of Qishan, Zhao Angjiu made amazing strategies and made outstanding achievements.

And his wife Wang Yi is also a strange woman, who deceived the trust of Ma Chao's wife Yang in the Battle of Jicheng and won a chance for Zhao Ang to win.

Sometimes. It's as simple as that.

Liu Chuang was still worried about how to govern Liangzhou, but he turned his head and got a virtuous talent.

After Zhao Ang's surrender. Zhong Xuan wrote another letter to Yang Fu.

Yang Fu was captured by Zhao Yun before, and he has been detained in Wuwei, resolutely unwilling to surrender. As a result, Zhong Xuan's letter passed, and Yang Fu changed his attitude. This also made Liu Chuang sigh with emotion, a thousand clever plans, sometimes it is not as good as having enough connections, Zhong Miao is really powerful.

With these two letters, Zhong Miao easily gained a firm foothold.

When Liu Chuang was about to leave Zhending, Xun Chen said to him with a smile: "Hugh underestimates your cheap uncle."

At the beginning, he was low-key and calm under Cao Cao's tent. It was a last resort...... He is an important minister of the Son of Heaven, and Cao Cao is also quite suspicious of him, so that he does not dare to act rashly. But now, with a nephew like you, he naturally doesn't have to hide it in a low-key manner. Just keep an eye on him, this old guy is very cunning and shrewd. Sometimes. You have to push him before he willingly helps. ”

Typical officialdom old oilers!

Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh, but at the same time, he was secretly glad to ......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In July of the eighth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang's class returned to Beijing.

At the same time, the situation in Liangzhou has also changed silently.

Xia Houlan led his troops into Liangzhou. took over Fengyi Mountain from Ma Chao and continued to maintain the pressure on stability.

This was originally an extremely normal rotation handover, so everyone thought that Ma Chao would inevitably send troops to Hanyang to threaten Longxi.

Even Cao Ren thinks so.

When the Xiliang army and the Han army were handed over, he immediately stationed the Quanting in the street to prevent Ma Chao's sneak attack.

Originally, Xu Shu led Yang Servant Ma Dai to capture Zu Li, and he was eager to try to send troops to Hanyang County...... But no one expected that when Xiahoulan and Ma Chao handed over Fengyi Mountain, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun suddenly joined forces, and a total of 20,000 troops turned south and captured Yuzhong by surprise.

In this elm, it was ruled by Han Sui.

Ma Chao suddenly turned around, which shocked Han Sui.

However, what surprised him the most was that when Ma Chao occupied Yuzhong, Wei Duan actually ordered Pang Gong, the general of Liangzhou stationed in Muyuan, to retreat from Muyuan to Di Dao. At the same time, Wei Duan's general Zhao Qu took the opportunity to send troops to recapture Zu Li. Xiliangjun didn't care about this.

What's the rhythm?

Han Sui was stunned!

This series of changes makes people feel dazzled.

In particular, the exchange of Ma Chao and Wei Duan made Han Sui feel an unprecedented threat......

At the beginning of the army, Han Sui was also careful.

But as Ma Chao captured Fengyi Mountain, Xu Shu captured Zu Li, and Zhao Yun captured Zhang Ji, Han Sui was also relieved.

The rhythm of the Xiliang Army is clearly the rhythm of finding trouble with Cao Cao.

At that time, when there was turmoil in Yaoqiang, and Wei Qi Wei Duan sent someone to ask him for help, Han Sui refused the other party's invitation without saying a word......

But now......

Han Sui felt bad and immediately sent someone to Wei Duan for help.

At the same time, Ma Chao also raised the banner of avenging his father, all the soldiers and horses of Xiliang wore linen and filial piety, and Ma Chao even killed people in Yuzhong and swore to kill Han Sui. However, his slogan is very interesting, it turns out to be: only Han Sui is punished, and the servant is not guilty. As a result, the people of Jincheng County were immediately panicked. What kind of officials rule what kind of people...... At the beginning, he Han Jiuqu was treacherous, and now Ma Chao is avenging his father, which is justified, what does it have to do with us? Even, there are many Jincheng Haoqiang who have changed their attitude towards Han Sui......

Could it be that Ma Chao and Wei Duan have reconciled?

No way!

Who is Wei Duan, Han Sui knows best in his heart, how can he look down on Ma Chao and reconcile with him?

Han Sui's heart was even more frightened!
