Lueyang County.

Since Zhang Xiu led 5,000 light cavalry to Luoyang, some people in the area of ​​Lueyang have indeed been panicked.

After all, Ma Teng and Han Sui were on the side, like a bear and tiger. For Ma Teng and Han Sui, he was also lying beside the bed and could not allow others to sleep soundly.

Before, Zhang Xiu was in charge, "people's hearts are not worried." No matter how Ma Teng or Han Sui struggled, even if the troops were 100,000, 200,000, or 300,000, the troops were approaching.

The area around Lueyang is as stable as Mount Tai.

"It's General Shenwei Tian."

It should be known that Zhang Xiu became famous in Liangzhou because it happened under their noses. In the Liangzhou area, the sign "Shenwei Tian General" is a golden sign.

Moreover, the population of Lueyang County is young. If you recruit it casually, you will be strong and 100,000 yuan. The people are eager to Zhang Xiu. Lueyang County has sufficient money and food, and the military is more sufficient. At the critical moment, Zhang Xiu ordered it.

Hundreds of thousands of men joined the army together. Without saying that they left the city and went out to fight Ma Teng, Han Sui fought fiercely, defending a city, and drawing a bow was absolutely fine.

As the saying goes, "The dangerous mountains and rivers are not as dangerous as the dangerous people's hearts." Zhang Xiu was in Lueyang County and was like a tyrant.

The overlord is here, and people's hearts are not worried.

Now the Overlord is heading east to Luoyang in the colorful world. Although good news comes from time to time, the Overlord is promoted so quickly that everyone is happy.

Now they are all former generals, and they are the father of Han Shouhou.

But everyone lost the stabilizing needle in their hearts.

But not long ago, Pang De succeeded as the captain of the Qiang Hunting School, while Xi Zhicai succeeded as the governor of Lueyang County. The two were also prestigious figures and could hold on to the scene.

Although the Overlord is gone, his left and right hands are still there.

At present, people's hearts in Lueyang County are still safe. After Zhang Xiu left, they still developed slightly. Lueyang's wealth is a place where merchants from all walks of life gather.

Just like at this moment, the sun is shining and charming, and the people in the city of Wei are bustling and prosperous. Although they are not as good as Luoyang, they are also "Little Luoyang".

There are many Hu Shangs in the Western Regions of the city, the "Shu Brocade Merchant" in Shu, the Horse Shangs in Liangzhou, and even the salt and iron merchants from Jiangdong.

This is the rule of law that the overlords have managed. Now the Lueyang County guarded by Xi Zhicai and Pang De.

County magistrate's office.

Since Xi Zhicai became the county magistrate, this yamen should be his. Zou family, Cai Yan, Jin family, and Lan Zhenzhu have moved out and lived there. There is another big mansion, so you will not be wronged.

In the study, Xi Zhicaizheng sat on the chess with Fazheng's uncle Mr. Faqing.

Xi Zhicai was completely different from that of the past. His figure gradually became burly, his eyes were bright and vivid, and he held great power for a long time, and he also developed a little power.

As for the Qing Dynasty, it was the same as a gentle and confucian scholar.

He is responsible for teaching [Luoyang Mandarin]. He has not been doing this for a long time and has made little progress. The Qiang and Han people in Lueyang County are still the same, and there will be friction from time to time. If it weren't for the suppression of powerful figures, there would be no problem.

There were few literati here in Lueyang County. Fa Qing and Xi Zhicai became friends over time.

"Report to the county magistrate. I came here to report carefully. Ma Teng was mobilizing food, fodder and troops." Suddenly, a minor official hurried in and reported the report.

"I understand. Pass the news to the generals in the county, as well as the Qiang-guarding Clan Pang De and Tianshui Commander Zhao Yun."

Xi Zhicai smiled and waved his hand.

"No." The little official replied, turned around and went down. Faqing's heart trembled slightly. He has always been a literati and has no good feelings for war.

But when he saw Xi Zhicai calm and calm, he couldn't help but bow and asked, "Zhicai. Ma Teng, Han Sui must have raised an army to attack Lueyang. Now that Zhang Gong (Zhang Xiu) is not here, it may be very dangerous. But why is Zhicai calm and calm?"

Xi Zhicai fell a white piece and looked up and smiled, "The general is far away in Luoyang. Duke Dong is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Ma Teng, and Han Sui had ambitions, so he naturally took advantage of the situation."

"The soldiers in Lueyang County are very good and have enough food, so don't worry, sir."

"please."

Xi Zhicai stretched out his left hand and invited Fa Qing to Luozi. Fa Qing smiled bitterly when he heard this, barely calmed down, and then held the black spot in his hand.

Xi Zhicai was really focused on playing chess with Faqing, and did nothing else.

Even the Qiang-protecting Captain Pang De did not do anything, and he only practiced soldiers normally every day.

Shangqi City.

This city was run by Zhao Yun for not long, but fortunately, the population was small and the proportion of the army in the city was extremely high. Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan were capable of leading troops, and everything was very safe.

In the study room of Duwei's Mansion.

Zhao Yun knelt in white clothes and was watching [Records of the Grand Historian]. Xiahou Lan suddenly walked in from outside and reported: "Brother, the county magistrate of Xi County has heard news, Ma Teng is ready to move."

"Be calm, count the food, fodder, weapons and wood first, and do as planned." Zhao Yun put down the bamboo slips in his hand, looked up and smiled at the brother he brought from Changshan County.

"No." Xiahou Lan was excited, her face dissipated in a hurry, and she calmly went down.

Everyone knows that Ma Teng and Han Sui will act, how could they not be prepared?

Because I was prepared for a long time, there was no need to cram the army or supplies temporarily.

Zhao Yun put down the bamboo slips in his hand, took the map from the side, placed it on the table in front of him, and watched intently.

"Luoyang, the five cities of Shangqiu. Xiangping, Shangqiu is the first to be hit. Linwei is second. The Luoyang government is closer to Linwei and Xiangping, and the support is faster. Shangqiu and Xiangping are close to each other. Although they are mutually supportive, the situation is like an island hanging alone overseas."

"If Ma Teng and Han Sui advance, there will be only two ways. One is to send an elite army to camp outside Shangji City to monitor my operations. Then lead a large number of troops to attack Xiangping and Linwei."

"On the contrary, a group of men was sent to camp in Lueyang County for surveillance. Then most of them were sent to besiege me."

Zhao Yun gently pinched his chin, looked carefully at the map, and thought. Xi Zhicai made sufficient preparations. Shangji City would not talk about the soldiers and horses, and food and salt should be eaten for a year.

He had been in constant communication with Xi Zhicai and Pang De, and they all believed that Ma Teng and Han Sui would most likely attack Shangji. After removing the nail, they turned south to attack Lueyang County.

The strategy is simple and crude.

They each first defended the city and then looked for opportunities. This was also impossible, although there were many generals, including him, Pang De and Hu Cheer.

But there were few soldiers and horses. Once Ma Teng and Han Sui worked together to produce more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, they had no room for maneuver.

And they had no reinforcements from the court.

As for taking the initiative like the last time, it is impossible. Ma Teng will not be fooled again for the second time, and there is no second Chengyi.

However, Zhao Yun was brave and crafty, not a person who followed the rules, nor was he a person who would be beaten passively. He discussed with Xiahou Lan privately and had a more adventurous plan.

"If it's Ma Teng, Han Sui, you will attack Shangji City and ensure that you will be defeated and sink into the sand." Zhao Yun showed a little sneer on his handsome face, then rolled up the map and put it back on.

Not long after, Xiahou Lan came back and reported the counted grain and fodder and weapons to Zhao Yun one by one. It was probably true that she could eat and use it for about a year.

"Suppose the soldiers reduce their training and accumulate more energy." Zhao Yun felt certain in his heart and said to Xiahou Lan.

"No." Xiahou Lan responded to the promise and went down again.

"Although the general is not here, Yun is still alive. Ma Teng, Han Sui, don't think of success." Zhao Yun stood up and put his hands on his back, facing northwest, and the tiger's eyes flashed.

............

After receiving the news from Ma Teng, Han Sui from Jincheng immediately gathered his troops without hesitation. The remaining princes of Liangzhou led 100,000 troops south to meet with Ma Teng in Jicheng.

Flags gather and people are crowded.

Ma Teng led important civil and military personnel under his command to greet Han Sui personally at the east gate of the city.

"My brother."

"Brother."

The two of them still had a brotherly relationship. After hugging each other on the spot, they turned over and entered the city together. After arriving at Ma Teng Mansion, only the two of them entered the study and sat down.

"My brother, what do you think of my strategy of Changshi Yang (Yang Fu)?" Ma Teng asked directly after kneeling down.

"I have no objection to attack and pull out Zhao Yun's Shangqi City first." Han Sui smiled and shook his head, and said.

"Since my brother's opinion, do you have any other objections?" Ma Teng was not stupid either. Hearing the implicit sound, he couldn't help but wonder.

Han Sui smiled, picked up the water cup on the desk and took a sip of water, then said, "Brother, what do you think about the current situation?"

Ma Teng's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and then asked Han Sui: "What about you, brother? What do you think?"

"Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang and muddled the water. He is now in a prominent position and is appointed as the prime minister. But in fact he ruined the Han Dynasty. The next situation should be at the end of the Qin Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Han Sui no longer concealed the greed in his eyes and said, "Our brothers have been rampant in Liangzhou for many years and are intimidating the world. Why not learn from Song Jian and cede land and become king?"

"Isn't this coincidental with my thoughts?" Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, then showed a tentative look and said, "But my brother, according to our current land and population, we are not enough to be king."

"Isn't it enough to conquer the Sanfu and destroy the other Liangzhou princes? Cheng Yi died, so that Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng and others would all die. The two of us conquered Lueyang together, and then entered Sanfu and seized Tongguan. The land in the north of the Wei River belonged to me, and the land in the south of the Wei River belonged to my brother. I occupied Longshan Road and Xiaoguan. My brother occupied Lueyang and Wei River belonged to the Wei River. I evenly divided the four counties of Lueyang, Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Han Sui did not hide it, and directly looked at Ma Teng's eyes and said this plan that was enough to make Ma Teng's blood boil.

He attacked the Three Guards, divided the four counties equally, and destroyed the other princes, and the two of them proclaimed themselves kings.

Although Ma Teng had fantasized about attacking the Sanfu and becoming the King of Guanzhong, he had no specific plans. Now that he is better, Han Sui has a lot more thoughts.

"If so, I can be the King of Qin." Ma Teng thought for a while, then looked up and smiled at Han Sui.

"Then I will be the King of Liang." Han Sui replied with a smile.
