At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, scholars were respected.

Although the later gate valve nobles have not yet been formed, they have already taken shape.

Wei Duan is undoubtedly a representative of the Liangzhou scholars, but this does not mean that he can kill other celebrities. Unless, unless, the clans join forces, this behavior will inevitably be condemned by the whole world. This time, Wei Duan really broke the rules and was in trouble.

Why did Wei Duan kill Xue Xia?

Well, the reason is a bit complicated......

Since Wei Duan listened to the persuasion of Huangfu Jianshou and agreed to Cao Cao's stationing in Wating, the situation became complicated.

Liangren governs Liangzhou, which is an unspoken rule formed in Liangzhou over the years. Liangzhou is deserted, Liangzhou is bitterly cold, and the prestige of Liangzhou celebrities in Shilin is insufficient...... This qiē reason also created the habit of the Liangzhou scholars to be extremely grouped, and even more rejecting foreign forces.

If Cao Cao had captured Wating and had succeeded in entering Liangzhou, things might have been easier.

But the problem is that Cao Cao just lost the tile pavilion!

Previously, Liu broke into Liangzhou and fought under the guise of Ma Chao's revenge for his father, so although the people of Liangzhou were dissatisfied, they did not stop it.

The benefits of being famous are here.

Han Sui killed Ma Chao, you can't let Ma Chao not avenge this father's murder.

However, Liu Chuang's erosion of Liangzhou was cautious, and he dispatched troops and horses to Liangzhou little by little.

Even after he achieved the great victory of Guanjin, he did not send troops and horses into Liangzhou on a large scale, but only ordered Huang Zhong to enter with 8,000 men, nominally to crusade against Hehuang. After that, Zhong Xuan's intervention allowed Liu Chuang to strengthen his control over Liangzhou. But that's not all...... He used a large number of Liangzhou scholars, which can be regarded as giving the Liangzhou scholars an explanation to save face.

Now. You, Wei Duan, actually agreed to Cao Cao's entry into Liangzhou?

Although he did not succeed. But you did agree to his terms......

Case. I'm also going to be stationed in Liangzhou. If you Wei Duan want to be my enemy, I won't care. After all, Liu Chuang has an advantage, that is, he has a large number of Liangzhou scholars under him, and he has more access to the Western Regions Trade Route and the Hexi Corridor, and has attracted a group of Liangzhou heroes. He has such a foundation, and he dares to argue with Wei Duan. As a result, Wei Duan's situation became more and more difficult.

The four surnames of Tianshui. It is a representative of Liangzhou Haoqiang.

They were the most opposed to Wei Duan's decision to agree with Cao Cao's entry into Liangzhou, especially after Cao Cao's loss of the tile pavilion, and their opinions became stronger and stronger.

You must know that the four surnames of Tianshui have been spying on the Hexi Corridor.

Previously, they had begun negotiations with Liu Chuang, hoping to get a piece of the Hexi corridor. But because of Wei Duan's resolution, all their efforts were in vain. Therefore, the four surnames of Tianshui were extremely angry and launched attacks on Wei Duan many times. It is also thanks to Wei Duan's reputation in Liangzhou that is indeed not low, and there is a group of people around him who speak for him and defend him, so he can be regarded as escaping......

But. With the beginning of the four surnames of Tianshui, Haoqiang from other places is not willing to be lonely.

Wei Duan was also scolded for this. Wolf bèi unbearable.

It was at this time that Xue Xia somehow jumped out and accused Wei Duan of making a wrong decision.

The four surnames of Tianshui, the heroes of all parts of Liangzhou, that is the foundation of Liangzhou. They blamed Wei Duan, and Wei Duan was helpless even if he was angry. But you, Xue Xia, are just a poor scholar, and you dare to run out and say that I am not and are looking for trouble with me? Wei Duan had been scolded and angry, and he was holding his breath in his heart. Xue Xia jumped out, and immediately angered Wei Duan and ordered Xue Xia to be killed.

"Xue Xuansheng made a wrong voice at the wrong time."

Liu Chuang lifted an iron kettle from the stove beside him, poured hot water into the teacup, and then placed the teacup on a model of a woodcarved boat and passed it along the river on the tea tray. This is called Qushui Liuzhen, Liu Chuang is also idle, and ordered someone to create such a set of tea sets, which immediately attracted the envy of many people. This kind of elegant thing is the favorite thing of Xun Chen, Zhong Xuan, and even Zhuge Liang, Lu Yu and others...... Zhong Miao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, only to feel that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

"Now that Wei Duan has made a mistake, it is the lord's opportunity."

Zhuge Liang also took a sip of tea, "Although Liangzhou is barren and bitterly cold, it connects Hanzhong and goes directly to Xichuan."

Now that the matter has been decided, there is no need to be distracted for the time being; Han Sui has become like a turtle in an urn, and his demise is in these days. After destroying Han Sui, he took the initiative to order Yuan Zhi to seize Liangzhou and plan Guanzhong. Previously, because of the opposition of the Liangzhou scholars, we did not dare to act rashly. Now that Wei Duan has killed Xue Xia, it is tantamount to provoking civil strife among the scholars of Liangzhou, and he can take the opportunity to seize it. ”

Zhong Xuan also nodded lightly, "What Kong Ming said is extremely true.

This God-given opportunity is for Uncle Huang, if you don't take it, I am afraid that I will be punished by God. ”

If you don't take the opportunity to take Liangzhou, I'm really sorry for God's favor for you.

Look at it, you want Liangzhou, God helped you make Wei Duan make a mistake. It's a great opportunity, and if you miss it, you won't have it again.

Liu Chuang was also thrilled when he heard it.

It's just that he frowned, "Then Cao Cao will sit back and watch me seize Liangzhou?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, "Cao Cao will not sit idly by and watch the lord seize Liangzhou, but in this way, wouldn't it be a great opportunity for the lord?" ”

"Oh?"

Liu Chuang was stunned and looked at Zhuge Liang.

On the side, Xun Chen and Zhong Xuan showed admiration.

He immediately understood what Zhuge Liang meant, and couldn't help nodding again and again.

"What Kong Ming said won my heart......"

As he spoke, he brewed another pot of tea and distributed the tea soup to everyone.

"In this case, please do your best to plan!"

He stood up and stretched his body vigorously, "Perhaps, the time is ripe for a decisive battle, just see what the outcome of the battle of Liangzhou will be."

Well, this matter will be handed over to Kong Ming to be responsible, and in Liangzhou, he still needs to work hard for his uncle.

Although Yuan Zhizhi is resourceful, his qualifications are still a little shallow after all.

If you want to suppress those old foxes in Liangzhou, I'm afraid you have to be your uncle. Tell them that as long as they are willing to cooperate with me, the Hexi Corridor will be open to their caravans, and I will guarantee that they will be unimpeded to the west of the river. Other than that. Meng Qi sent someone to deliver a letter to me before. Interested in coming to Youzhou. After he left. But Su Ze was the Taishou of Wuwei County, dismissed Jia Kui as the chief bookkeeper of Hedong, and appointed Jiuquan Taishou...... As for Jincheng's duties, Yang Fu can lead it on his behalf. However, the Governor of the West shall be appointed by me personally. ”

This is equivalent to Liu Chuang giving up the interests of the four counties of Longxi, Hanyang, Anding and Zhangye.

I believe that those Liangzhou scholars should know how to make a choice if they are smart.

"Who is Uncle Huang going to take as the governor of the west?"

Xun Chen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Chuang curiously. "In addition, how should Tang Yan's Lu Shuihu, Baimaqiang and Xiqiang Cheriji be arranged?"

"Lieutenant of the West, I do have a suitable candidate.

I want to use Zhao Weizhang as the governor of the west and garrison in the West Sea. In addition, I would like to set up Xiping County in Hahuang, and Tian Shi is currently making plans accordingly.

Lu Shuihu and Baimaqiang can be merged into Xiping County and occupy the Hehuang Valley.

Tang Dang Yang Teng hired as appropriate, but Nacheriji ...... I thought he was an unruly person, and I was afraid it was not easy to appease. ”

Zhong Xuan smiled and said, "Could it be that the lord is plotting against Xiqiang?" ”

Liu Chuang smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Xiqiang. It is probably located in the Kunlun Mountain area of Qinghai in later generations.

And Cherrigi even blocked the Kunlun Pass, if he wanted to advance westward in the future. This Kunlun Pass cannot but occupy it.

Of course, at this time, Kunlun Mountain was still in a wild and bitter cold. The local area is mostly nomadic, and even isolated from the world.

It is not an easy task to take the Kunlun Pass.

But Liu Chuang has always liked to plan and move, since he has this idea, he must make arrangements in advance.

"It's not hard to get rid of Cherrigi."

Zhong Xuan thought for a while and said softly: "That Cheriji lives in Xiqiang all the year round, and he must also be a greedy person.

The reason why he sent troops this time was also to see that it would be profitable...... As far as I know, this person is a merchant in the Western Regions, has a very close relationship with the Shule Kingdom in the Western Regions, and is also a merchant Shanman, and has some ways outside the territory. Uncle Huang had previously asked Ma Chao to seize the Six Kingdoms of the Tianshan Mountains, and he would not stop there. In this case, why not benefit from it first, let him open up the doors of the Western Regions for the emperor's uncle, and then deal with it?

If he has the support of the emperor's uncle, his strength will inevitably swell.

At that time, how could Tang Jian and Yang Teng sit idly by, they would inevitably feel hatred......

As long as they send someone to provoke a little, I believe that Tang Jian and Yang Teng will inevitably take action. At that time, the lord can take Xiqiang without blood. ”

Jealousy is the original sin of mankind!

Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Zhong Xuan's strategy was indeed clever.

But...... It seems that there is a suspicion of unloading the mill and killing the donkey. But thinking about the stability of Hehuang in the future, a powerful Xiqiang, or a powerful Lu Shuihu or a white horse breeder, these are not the results that Liu Chuang hopes to see. Perhaps, letting them kill each other is the best strategy. As long as the situation can be controlled in Liu Chuang's hands, then there is nothing to worry about, regardless of whether it is Cherrigi or Tang Yang Teng.

"In that case, how about letting Zhao Ang take on the post of Xiping County Taishou again?"

Zhong Xuan laughed, "This is also what I think, Zhao Weizhang is extremely talented, and he is also quite close to the emperor's uncle, so he can try his best to win him over." ”

Liu Chuang nodded and looked at Xun Chen.

But he saw Xun Chen's face showing appreciation, "With such an arrangement, Liangzhou can be determined!" ”

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

Just when Liu Chuang was discussing with everyone, he was far away in Xudu's Sikong Mansion, but it was full of gloom.

Cao Pi was prostrate on the ground, his head lowered and he didn't dare to speak, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.

On the Taishi chair, Cao Cao looked angry, holding the armrest of the Taishi chair, his knuckles were white, and it could be seen how angry he was in his heart.

"Good things you did!"

Cao Cao finally broke out, pointed at Cao Pi and scolded, "Which one gave you the power to dare to ask about the war ahead without authorization and install people?" ”

Cao Pi's body trembled, his head almost touched the ground, and he didn't say a word.

On the side, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao were silent, not knowing how to persuade Cao Cao.

Due to Cao Pi's unauthorized intervention, Cao Ren changed generals in the battle and activated Xiahou Nan...... If Xiahou Mao wins, it's okay to say. But now, Xiahou Nan was captured by Liu Chuang and sent to Youzhou; And Cao Ren lost the tile pavilion because of this, which put Cao Cao in an embarrassing situation.

The loss of Wating also means that Liu Chuang has taken the lead.

In this case, between Cao Cao and Liu Chuang, there will inevitably be a decisive battle between the tip of the needle against Mai Mang.

However, with Cao Cao's current situation, he didn't want to fight Liu Chuang so soon...... The reason, quite simply, is that he is not ready! (To be continued......)
