On the bank of the Yin River, Han Sui quietly listened to Yan Xing's report and was speechless for a while.

There are some things that Yan Xing doesn't understand, but for Han Sui, who has the heart of the Yellow River Jiuqu, how can he not hear the clues? Especially in the conversation between Yang Fu and Yan Xing at the end, Han Sui asked carefully and carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt blocked in his heart.

"Zhangren, what do Yang Yishan mean by these words?"

Han Sui stood up, wandered in the big tent for a while, and suddenly called his personal followers, "Immediately pass my order, Cheng Yin's five troops and horses, immediately rectify, after nightfall, pull out the camp and retreat to Jincheng." At the same time, he sent someone to contact Lao Qiang and asked them to move to the area of Longqi City. ”

Yan Xing listened from the sidelines, becoming more and more confused.

Longqi City, isn't that ruled by the Western Governor?

It is located between the West Sea and the Cizhi River, and it is also the most abundant area of water and grass in the Hehuang area. The relationship between Han Sui and Burning Dang Lao Qiang has always been close, and with their cooperation, Han Sui was born as a Hanshi, but without any background, he sat firmly in the position of Jincheng Taishou; And because of Han Sui's help, the old Qiang became the most powerful tribe in the Hehuang region.

The whole burned old Qiang, with a population of about 200,000, is terrifying.

But now, Han Sui asked Burning Dang Lao Qiang to assemble in Longqi City, obviously to shrink his forces.

Why?

Yan Xing's face was dazed.

Seeing that Yan Xing didn't understand, Han Sui sighed and said, "Yanming, I thought that if I eliminated Ma Shoucheng, I would be able to dominate Xiliang.

But now it seems that someone has already been eyeing the land of Xiliang. Yang Yishan finally asked you, after Ma Chao and Ma Teng separated. Why did he sweep through the Western Regions with 3,000 Qiang soldiers? In fact, it is also a reminder to you and me. There must be someone behind Ma Chao to support him. And this man is extraordinary.

Changshan Zhao Zilong, I know this person.

He is the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Mu of Youzhou, and the brother-in-law of the general Liu Chuang and Uncle Liu...... His appearance in Xiliang now is enough to illustrate the problem. How Ma Chao was able to sweep the six countries of the Western Regions must have the support of Uncle Liu Huang. Otherwise, how could he have gained a foothold in the Western Regions so quickly? Ma Teng's death also gave Ma Chao a sufficient reason to return to Xiliang. We actually. They were all calculated. ”

"Huh?"

Yan Xing was stunned and looked a little confused.

Han Sui said: "Yan Ming, you think, Ma Teng loves Ma Tie alone, and he rejects Ma Chao.

Ma Chao stayed in Xiliang, and he would be restrained by Ma Teng, and it would be difficult to make a difference; He and Ma Teng separated, in fact, he also preserved his own strength. Sweeping through the six countries of the Western Regions, he has hundreds of thousands of people in his hands to mobilize, which is far better than being suppressed by Ma Teng in Xiliang. Now Ma Teng is dead...... He swept the power of the six countries of the Western Regions, and he was in Wuwei, who could compete with Xiliang. We killed Maarten. In fact, it was cheaper than Ma Chao. He no longer has anyone to elbow him and sit on martial power. Backed by the Western Regions, it has already achieved the grandeur of a prince......"

Speaking of this, Han Sui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Speaking of which, I don't care about it, Cao Cao or not, they are all calculated by Uncle Liu Huang.

I tried my best to solve Ma Teng, which was actually equivalent to cheapening Uncle Liu Huang and letting him get Xiliang without blood. This is a game between Uncle Liu Huang and Cao Cao, and we can't interfere. Now Uncle Liu Huang sent Zhao Zilong to Xiliang, obviously aiming for Liangzhou.

Cao Cao tried his best to eradicate Ma Teng, a vicious wolf, but he didn't want to provoke a tiger......

From now on, Xiliang will not be appeased, Liangzhou will not be appeased, and Guanzhong will not be appeased! ”

Yan Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Then according to the father-in-law, how should we deal with ourselves?"

"I've heard people say that Corporal Liu Huangshu Lixian is thirsty for talent.

I've been keeping an eye on his initiatives for the past few years, and I've finally gained something. Since last year, I have set out to let Ke collect the whole and burn Lao Qiang's household registration...... Yanming, I want you to send an envoy to Youzhou on my behalf, meet Uncle Liu Huang, and present this household registration book to Uncle Liu Huang. ”

As he spoke, Han Sui walked to the bookcase and pulled out a box from behind the couch.

Yan Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Han Sui meant.

"What does the father-in-law mean, to serve Uncle Liu Huang?"

How do you know that Han Sui laughed and waved his hand again and again, "Yan Ming's words are wrong, although Uncle Liu Huang is strong now, it has not yet reached the point where it is worthy of my service." You take this box of household registration books to Youzhou, I believe that Uncle Liu Huang will definitely understand my mind. At this time, none of us should be effective, just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Just wait for Uncle Liu Huang and Cao Sikong to divide the winner and loser, and then we will make a decision. ”

"But, Ma Chao ......"

Han Sui's smile was even bigger, "Ma Chao doesn't have to worry about it, I believe that at this time, he will never use troops against Jincheng." ”

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

At the end of September of the seventh year of Jian'an, the first snow in Liangzhou arrived.

Ma Chao's army returned from the Western Regions and arrived at Yumen.

Three years ago, he left Xiliang with 3,000 Qiang soldiers, with only Ma Dai by his side.

Now, he sits on the six countries of the Western Regions, has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and has countless fierce generals, returning to Xiliang, but he is no longer a person.

Yumen Pass, a big banner stands proudly on the head of the city, gold characters on a black background, nine big characters in the book 'General Fubo, Tai Tinghou of the Great Han Dynasty', pinching the gold edge in the middle and walking the gold thread, embroidering a big 'horse' word. When Ma Chao saw this big flag, he couldn't help but be stunned.

General Fubo, Tai Tinghou?

He glanced to the left and right, a look of confusion.

"General, there are people in the gate who go out of the city to greet you."

One of the people who followed behind Ma Chao urged the horse forward and reminded him in a low voice.

Ma Chao was stunned, and then noticed that there was a team of people waiting outside Yumen Pass for a long time.

The first scribe was about thirty years old, handsome and quite good-looking. Dressed in a green shirt and a black beard under his chin, he reveals his outstanding spirit.

Ma Chaoce stepped forward immediately, and the scribe also greeted him.

"Xu Shu, the commander of the military division of the General's Mansion, was ordered by Uncle Huang to welcome the general's return to Han."

Ma Chao hurriedly dismounted and took two steps forward to support Xu Shu.

"How can a barbarian deserve a great gift from a gentleman?"

"Eh, the prince is not right. The prince was originally after Ma Fubo. Uncle Huang holds the seal of the general. It is reasonable to worship the prince as the general of Fubo. Shu came to Liangzhou this time, was ordered to assist the prince, and he was a full courtesy, how could he be lazy? ”

"This General Fubo, is it mine?"

Ma Chao raised his head again, looked at the big curtain on the head of the city, and suddenly understood Liu Chuang's hard work.

It is often said. Ma Chao is a hybrid Qiang, so he is rejected by many people. Even if he bears the name of General Fubo's descendant, he suffers from no evidence and is not accepted. Liu Chuang now worships him as General Fubo, although he is just a miscellaneous general, it is equivalent to justifying his name. After that, whoever is saying that he is a mongrel, Ma Chao can refute it with this. It can be regarded as a foundation for having a foothold.

"Two hundred years ago, Guanzhong Ma Fubo, two hundred years later, Xiliang Ma Fubo, must be a good story."

Xu Shu's words are talking about Ma Chao's heart. He couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Xu praised it falsely, how dare Chao be on the same page as the ancestors?"

But this one. But it made Ma Chao feel a lot more comfortable.

He pulled Xu Shu side by side into the Yumen Pass and sat down in the Yumen Pass Mansion.

"But I don't know, what is the purpose of Uncle Liu Huang sending Mr. Xu here this time?"

The person who spoke, named Yang Fu, was the king of Wudu. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao captured the Pu Sea, and Yang Fu led the people to migrate from Hanyang to the Western Regions. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Regions were far less desolate than those of later generations, and were quite suitable for human habitation. Ma Chao also won the Tu Gejing Cavalry and the Wudu Cavalry successively, and his strength increased greatly. Coupled with the heavy grain and grass sent by Liu Chuang from Youzhou, Ma Chao was even more powerful, and this led to a brilliant record of sweeping the six countries of the Tianshan Mountains. It's just that there are not too many strategists around Ma Chao. Although Yang Fu is not literate, he is quite capable of change, so he became Ma Chao's helper and gave him advice......

Xu Shu said: "Uncle Huang was also very shocked when he learned that General Ma was killed.

He guessed that the prince would definitely return to Liangzhou, and he was worried that the prince would act recklessly, so he sent me to assist the prince. In addition to me, there are also emperor's uncle and brother-in-law Zhao Yun, his brother-in-law Zhuge Jun, and the descendants of Taishan celebrities and sheep heirs, all of whom are at the disposal of the prince. Uncle Huang once said when I set off: Ma Mengqi is my brother! Therefore, the emperor wants us to treat the prince and the marquis, and if we are the same generation as him, we must not be lazy. ”

Ma Chao listened, and his heart warmed.

After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "Meng Yan, how are you now?" ”

"Uncle Huang is all right, and now he is preparing for a decisive battle with Cao Cao in Jizhou, so he can't get out."

Ma Chao closed his eyes and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

He suddenly remembered the scene when he and Liu Chuang got together in Xu Du, and the indifference on his face eased a lot, and there was a touch of softness in his eyes.

"Brother Sheng came to the world, but I can't go to congratulate me, I'm really ashamed.

In the past three years, with Meng Yan's care, we have been able to run rampant in the Western Regions...... Now I return to Xiliang, and I should share my worries for Meng Yan. However, I am a martial artist, charging into battle, and winning in the field is my strength, but I can strategize, and winning a thousand miles is always insufficient.

I wanted to come to Meng Yan to know about my situation, so he sent a military advisor to help.

It's okay to have a military advisor to advise me, and I can make it much easier for me......"

Ma Chao is not a stupid person.

He was very clear about Liu Chuang's intention to send Xu Shu.

But in contrast, the help that Liu Chuang gave him when he was in the most difficult time was also worthy of Ma Chao playing for Liu Chuang. Not to mention, when he and Liu Chuang met, there was far less utilitarianism at all. Everyone agrees, so they worship as brothers. Now that Liu Chuang is going to face off with Cao Cao, he, as a brother, can't stand by in public or private, and should also share the pressure for Liu Chuang.

This general direction is solved, and the atmosphere is more harmonious.

"By the way, Xiliang's situation, how is it now?"

Previously, Han Sui was ordered to attack Wuwei, but he was defeated by Zilong and Ziheng in Cangsong. Han Sui then returned to Jincheng, and now the situation in Xiliang is calm. When I left, Uncle Huang instructed that a batch of heavy food and salary would be sent. However, because the road to Liangzhou is not very smooth, it has not yet been delivered. In a few more days, when Uncle Huang opens up the Hedong Road, it will be able to be delivered unimpeded. ”

Ma Chao nodded and smiled.

"Meng Yan's thoughts are thorough, and I can't compare.

That's fine, I may return to Xiliang to rectify in a while, and after I stabilize the situation in Wuwei, I will immediately send troops to help Meng Yan. ”

Outside, snow fell.

Ma Chao stood up and walked to the door.

He looked eastward, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled, and a bright smile appeared on his face. (To be continued......)
