At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

The little emperor thought so.

Guo Peng’s disciples who stayed to teach the little emperor were very tolerant to the little emperor, and the little emperor could do whatever he wanted, so the little emperor began to gradually reduce his study time by a quarter of an hour.

Nobody stopped him.

As a result, the situation intensified, and the little emperor became less and less willing to study, and became more and more playful and fond of playing.

In the end, the little emperor simply cut down the study time to less than half an hour. He would fool around a little every morning, and then ran out to eat, drink and play mahjong with his playmates.

Playing all kinds of fun, you can also play barbecue by yourself while eating. Guo Peng sent someone to teach the little emperor the skills of barbecue and beggar chicken, so as to cultivate the little emperor's hands-on ability and self-care ability. Obviously he is very concerned about him. Worrying about him turning into a nerd with high grades and low energy.

So the little emperor no longer has to worry about becoming a nerd with high scores and low abilities.

He was immersed in a happy childhood all day long, felt boundless happiness, and felt that life was very beautiful.

Cai Yong was very helpless in such a situation. He didn't know how to fight, and he didn't dare to remonstrate, so he could only obey the emperor's order. But watching the little emperor eat, drink, play and play mahjong every day, he felt very frustrated. Yu Yu who lived in Luoyang Unhappy.

He wrote to Guo Peng, hoping that Guo Peng could persuade the little emperor, and wrote to his old friend Zheng Xuan, complaining about his helplessness and depression.

If Cai Yong is just unhappy, then Zang Hong and Bao Xin are in dire straits.

The young mansion and the eunuch have nothing to do. The young mansion has no money to manage, and the eunuch has no horses to manage. Zang Hong can drive the little emperor, but what can the little emperor bring him?

The little emperor usually didn’t need Zang Hong to drive, but took Zang Hong, Bao Xin, and Xun Yu together, and let the three of them accompany the little emperor to play mahjong at a table by himself.

The four of them played mahjong at a table, which made the little emperor very happy, but Zang Hong and the others were very sad, tears were spinning in their stomachs, and they couldn't flow out at all.

Xun Yu was in pain, and so were Zang Hong and Bao Xin.

They wanted to persuade the little emperor to read and do something, but after seeing Cai Yong's fate, they were afraid that they might not even see the little emperor in the future, so they could only play mahjong with the little emperor against their will.

Xun Yu has become a little numb, but Zang Hong and Bao Xin have not. They feel that they just said what they should say as a Hanchen. How could Guo Peng think that they did something wrong and said something wrong, so he did this to them? matter?

The two still haven't figured out what Guo Peng is thinking now.

But no matter what, the three armies of Cao Chun, Cao Hong and Zhao Yun blocked them in three ways and imprisoned them firmly in Luoyang City. Luoyang City is not like an imperial capital at all, but like a prison.

This is what Zang Hong first felt. He seemed to have lost his freedom, and he couldn't even leave Luoyang City.

Xun You is the warden, not a Shang Shuling.

People in prison don't have any real power, just sound good and look good.

All those who hold actual power carry the title of Wei official, while pure Han officials only have power in a symbolic sense.

What exactly does this mean.

Zang Hong began to think, and Bao Xin also began to think.

But in any case, the situation has been settled, and they were taken down by Guo Peng without any precautions.

But for Guo Peng, this is just the beginning.

Now it's just ups and downs and political exile. After that, if they make any moves, Guo Peng will upgrade his methods.

The news of the new emperor's accession to the throne quickly spread throughout the northern lands, crossed the military blockade, and went to Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and also went to Liaodong.

The military losers reacted differently to the news.

Ma Teng and Han Sui accepted it.

After Guo Peng sent someone to announce the decree, Ma Teng and Han Sui led a group of Liangzhou warlords to accept the new emperor.

Because they did not dare to resist Guo Peng, for fear that Guo Peng would raise an army to attack.

Hanzhong was taken, and Guo Peng could attack Liangzhou in two ways. The Liangzhou generals who had just experienced the war had their own losses.

Isn't he just a little emperor?

Can I admit it?

But then they became a little depressed.

In the name of Liu Jian, Guo Peng appointed Ma Teng as the governor of Liangzhou, and then appointed his eldest son Ma Chao as the general of the Han Dynasty and the prefect of Longxi.

He also appointed Han Sui's son-in-law Yan Xing as the prefect of Hanyang County and General Anxi, and then appointed Han Sui himself as Liangzhou Biejia.

This is tantamount to letting Ma Teng and Ma Chao's father and son take charge of the military and political power in Liangzhou.

This situation made Liangzhou generals a little confused.

It is easy to explain that Ma Teng is the governor of Liangzhou. Ma Chao is the general who conquers the west, and Han Sui is Ma Teng's deputy, and Yan Xing is Ma Chao's assistant. What does this mean?

The Liangzhou military alliance is loose, but in the looseness, there are also two cores, the so-called dual-core drive, running side by side.

Ma Teng and Han Sui have been indifferent for a long time, maintaining a delicate balance. Of course, this balance is a little unstable, so there will be occasional small frictions, but with Guo Peng as a powerful foreign enemy, they still Generally peaceful.

But Guo Peng's operation made Han Sui very uncomfortable.

Chapter 658. 660 The Ma Family Father and Son Domineering (Revised)

No matter what Han Sui said, he was also a veteran general from Liangzhou, with great prestige, enough to compete with the famous Ma Teng.

That's why Liangzhou has maintained a dual-core drive for a long time.

However, Guo Peng has successively promoted the two fathers and sons of the Ma family, but he has not given himself an official promotion, and even asked himself to be a member of Liangzhou, what is this?

Even a kid like Ma Chao can be General Zhengxi, why can't he do it himself?

He also chose to be a subordinate to Ma Teng, an old enemy, an old enemy, and an old friend.

Isn't this tantamount to acknowledging that Ma Teng is of a higher rank than him, and let him be Ma Teng's younger brother?

Han Sui and Ma Teng both debuted as officials almost at the same time, rebelled at the same time, and returned to the banner of the Han Dynasty at the same time. They almost always walked together on the growth path, and no one was stronger than the other.

But now Guo Peng wants to be Ma Teng's younger brother himself, what is this?

Han Sui was very angry.

But in front of the envoy sent by Guo Peng, he didn't dare to explode, so he could only hold back his anger.

As a result, Zhang Ji, the emissary who announced the appointment, was afraid that Han Sui would not be angry enough, so he explained the reason for the appointment.

"Ma Shijun and General Ma's family are well-known. After General Fubo, they have been honored for many generations and have a noble status. They cannot be compared with others. They are worthy of being Liangzhou Governor and General Zhengxi. This is Your Majesty's commendation."

Han Sui's face darkened, and he almost couldn't hold back his attack.

Ma Teng felt a little relieved, glanced at Han Sui, smiled complacently, and took Ma Chao with him, accepting the appointment grandly.

With this appointment, he, Ma Teng, is the boss of Liangzhou!

Guo Peng admitted it on behalf of the emperor!You can't accept it!

To say that neither Ma Teng nor Han Sui has the intention of being the boss is to underestimate them. They all want to be the boss, everyone has the heart to be the boss, and no one dares to be the boss. Attacked, to say how sincere the relationship between them is...

It would be better to say that the relationship between Guo Peng and Yuan Shu is more sincere.

So now that Ma Teng actually got the chance to become the governor of Liangzhou, but Han Sui was formally established as his subordinate, Han Sui couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought, and couldn't swallow this breath.

Could it be because of the so-called Ma Fubo's bloodline?

He, Guo Zifeng, actually looked down on Han's background?

What about you, Guo Zifeng?The son of the county magistrate, how dare you look down on me?

Guo Peng must have done it on purpose!

Absolutely on purpose!

Han Sui was already gnashing his teeth in anger.

However, after Ma Teng was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, he actually showed the appearance of a big brother covering his younger brother.

"Wen Yue, don't worry, although Guo Zifeng is deliberately trying to provoke the relationship between you and my brother, but I will never treat you as a brother. Liangzhou is still the world of you and my brother, who dares to look down on you , just look down on Ma! Hahahahaha!"

Ma Teng patted Han Sui's shoulder with an elated look, and that gesture made the black flame in Han Sui's heart burn more vigorously.

Guo Peng's envoy left, leaving behind a Liangzhou named Ma, and Han Sui who couldn't swallow his anger.

Everyone thought that Liangzhou would continue to maintain the current situation under the leadership of Ma Teng, but things were not going that way.

Because Ma Teng really started to act like a blessing, relying on his position as governor of Liangzhou and his own strength, he really started to act like a boss, but because of this righteous name, everyone wanted to pursue him and flatter him He tolerated him, which made Ma Teng even more proud.

If Ma Teng was the only one acting domineering, although Han Sui was furious, he couldn't bear it for a while, but Ma Chao, the new General Zhengxi, stepped on Han Sui's head to do his best.

Ma Chao didn't have much respect for Han Sui, and looked down on his father's "brother". After he became General Zhengxi, he looked down on Han Sui openly, and then took the opportunity to blackmail Han Sui's son-in-law, Yan Xing.

Because Yan Xing almost killed him.

Ma Chao's heart is definitely not broad-minded, he has always held a grudge against Yan Xing, and always wants to find opportunities to take revenge on Yan Xing.

Now the opportunity has come, Yan Xing has become General Anxi, General Anxi is the auxiliary military position of General Zhengxi or Zhenxi, comparable to a deputy, but relatively low in status.

With an excuse, Ma Chao began to make things difficult for Yan Xing.

Originally, the two garrisons were stationed separately and did not interfere with each other. After Ma Chao became General Zhengxi, he grandly carried the banner of General Zhengxi to Yan Xing's barracks to do his best.

Due to Ma Chao's position, Yan Xing had no choice but to let him do his best and treat himself as unlucky.

But Ma Chao not only did not understand Yan Xing's retreat, but also pressed on step by step, and became more and more domineering. This made Yan Xing very annoyed, and accused Ma Chao of Ma Chao's crimes to Han Sui, saying that he really could not bear Ma Chao's humiliation. So he became even more annoyed.

After Guo's spy found out about Ma Teng and Ma Chao's dominance, he smiled triumphantly.

Aren't you brotherly?

I will let you continue to deepen your brotherly love and see if your love can reach that point.

At the same time, Guo Peng secretly ordered Cao Ren to prepare for battle in secret. Once there is a change in Liangzhou, he will immediately send troops to attack Liangzhou. Not a single warlord in Liangzhou will be left behind!

The situation in Liangzhou is different from that of Central Plains states and counties. The central government led by three generations of Liangzhou people destroyed the Han Dynasty. People and others are killing people, and everyone in the world will probably applaud.

That couldn't be better.

Liangzhou at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was completely different from the current Northwest. Now it is synonymous with backwardness and desolation, with serious soil erosion and a relatively poor environment, but at that time it was densely covered with lush virgin forests and a large number of prairie.

At that time, Liangzhou had abundant water and grass, otherwise the Longyou land would not have become the most important horse producing area in the world, and the Hexi Corridor would not have become the logistics base for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition to the Huns.

The desolation in the world's impression is mainly caused by the gradual cooling of the climate after the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the rapid increase in population, and the unscientific cultivation of the land.

However, Liangzhou at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty could produce horses and farmland to produce grain, and the results of development were definitely not bad.

Therefore, the matter of destroying the environment is really not the patent of modern people.

Of course, in terms of the speed and intensity of destruction, the ancients cannot be compared with modern people, but it is not objective to say that the blame is completely placed on the head of modern large-scale industrial production.

Guo Peng wanted to occupy Liangzhou, occupy Longyou, the most important horse producing area, and build a horse administration, and then he was going to reform his own cavalry.

Takahashi saddles, double stirrups, horseshoes, and a full set of horse gear are available. Someone Guo wants to make a huge change in his cavalry!

The reason why he has been enduring not letting his cavalry evolve is not because he can't get things like saddles and stirrups.

Like paper printing, he has secretly summed up mature technology and cultivated a group of mature technical backbones. When the time comes, he can immediately expand production and achieve mass production.

The reason why it is not taken out is because the time is not enough.

Items such as saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes are not high-tech chemicals. Unlike gunpowder, he can't find the formula for ten years.

As long as a set of harness is lost on the battlefield, the enemy can follow suit, and the cavalry of the Liangzhou Legion, which occupies the superior horse breeding land in Longyou, will undergo revolutionary changes. This is too bad for Guo up.

Guo did not hesitate to let his own cavalry be restrained, and he could not fight with his hands free, and he also faced the dilemma of long-distance raids. Even so, he had to strive for the greatest advantage, and he had to win Longyou.

Then he released the whole set of harness in one breath, and used the fastest speed to create an iron cavalry that ran across the world.

Take out these things when you have an absolute advantage, ensure that the situation is controllable, and maintain this advantage for as long as possible, instead of learning from the Song people.

Under the circumstance that its own strategic situation is very unfavorable, it does not care about the secrecy of technology at all, and its own technology has been learned by foreigners, and a large number of talents have flowed out.

The Song Dynasty did not have the fate of the Tang Dynasty, but it was infected with the arrogance of the Tang Dynasty.

Mr. Guo cannot afford this kind of disease, so he must be cautious.

Chapter 659. 660 Eight Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are Still Useful (Revised)

The army in Guanzhong is ready to mobilize its troops, and the flames of rebellion in Liangzhou have already appeared.

A certain Guo was waiting for Ma Chao to die, waiting for him to force Han Sui and Yan Xing to turn against each other, and then he would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and seize Liangzhou.
