In March of the first year of Xingping, Ma Teng, the general who conquered the west, went to Chang'an to meet the emperor and stationed his troops on Baqiao. Because of a verbal disagreement with Li Jue who occupied Chang'an, the two armies stalemate for several days without reconciliation.

Han Suiwen, the general of Zhenxi, rushed to Chang'an to persuade him to make peace, and within a day he mobilized the Xiliang soldiers and horses he brought with Ma Teng to attack Chang'an. The two armies fought against Changping Temple, fifty miles west of Chang'an.

Liangzhou is located in the border area between the Han and Qiang peoples. It connects the front line to the vastness and controls the throat of the five counties. For thousands of years, various ethnic groups have mixed together, and the folk customs are extremely tough.

Since ancient times, Longyou cavalry has been rampant all over the world, coupled with the danger of Tongguan, Ma Teng and Han returned to Liangzhou, even if Guo Si and Li Jue were angry, they would definitely have nothing to do with them.

The powerful Dong Zhuo and Grand Master Dong came from Liangzhou. Although he has been executed now, Li Jue and Guo Si are still in charge of Liangzhou soldiers and horses. Although the two of them occupy Chang'an now, they do not completely control those soldiers and horses. The morale of the army is unstable, chasing after Xiliang is tantamount to asking for a dead end.

For hundreds of years from the founding of the Great Han Dynasty to the opening of the border by Emperor Wu, the Huns in the north did not dare to go south easily, the barbarians in the south did not dare to rebel at will, and even the Western Regions were included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. He never knew what elegance was when dealing with the foreigners around him.

The Qiang people in Liangzhou are aggressive by nature, they are very good at riding and shooting and raiding, and they are extremely brutal on the battlefield. With such neighbors, the Han people in Xiliang are also more sturdy. They come from Xiliang, so they naturally know more about Xiliang's soldiers and horses What does it look like.

Now they are rampant in Chang'an, and even beat Ma Teng and Han Sui back to Xiliang, but they dare not really think that they are stronger than those two.

Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't bring many soldiers and horses. The most important reason they were able to win the battle was the large number of soldiers. More than [-] soldiers and horses, even if they were all mobs, were enough.

It is precisely because there are not many elite soldiers in hand that Ma Teng and Han Sui can easily escape and return to Xiliang. They have more than [-] soldiers and horses, but they can only watch helplessly from the top of the city.

Can not chase, also dare not chase.

Xiliang, Guzang City, although the winter has passed, it is still a vast expanse of whiteness, covered with ice and snow, cold and solemn.

It has been snowing heavily for many days. Since the two generals returned from Chang'an with their troops, the atmosphere of all ethnic groups in Xiliang has become tense. They don't know what will happen next, but they also know that it is impossible to settle down.

When was Liangzhou really safe?

The battle in Chang'an was, in the final analysis, a dispute between the two parties within Xiliang. In the general's mansion, Ma Teng and Han Sui sat in the room watching the heavy snow outside, their savage aura almost condensed into substance.

Han Sui frowned, thinking of his sworn brother who had not heard from him for many days, he always felt ominous, "Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, and Shaoliang brings his wife and children, it is not impossible to delay for a while."

The tall and tall Northwest man muttered something in a low voice, not knowing whether to comfort others or himself, he sighed again and looked back from the outside.

Ma Teng picked up the wine bowl and drank the strong wine in it, then slammed it heavily on the table, his rough eyebrows were full of ruthlessness, but he suppressed it firmly, "Meng Qi has already led his troops to meet him. Well, if that guy Li Jue doesn't talk about affection, he will never attack a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken."

As long as those two people still have some face, don't do things like venting anger on innocent people, it's just embarrassing for them Liangzhou people!

Ma Teng reluctantly replied, throwing the empty wine jar aside angrily, without any relaxation in his heart, they have already returned to Xiliang for more than a month, and there is still no news from Shaoliang, I'm afraid it's bad luck up.

Before there is any definite news, they can only pin their hopes on the reinforcements. Although Meng Qi is young, his ability is not bad. He can fight with himself in his teens and gain a firm foothold in the army with his military achievements. Guo Si and Li Jue were at a disadvantage.

Moreover, Shaoliang was born in the Lu family of Wu County, and Li Jue knew his identity, so how dare he directly kill him?

The atmosphere became more gloomy for a while, Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at the heavy snow outside with dark faces, hoping that Li Jue would be a bit scruples about taking actions in Jiangdong Lu's face.

Because of Lu Yan, neither of these two generals has a good impression of the Jiangdong family, but in this situation, we can only hope that Lu Yan, who has not returned home for more than ten years and left Xiliang, is important enough to the Lu family. , Li Jue and Guo Si's minds are clear enough.

However, after Dong Zhuo's death, the person who did not think about repentance, and once again set off a bloody storm after occupying Chang'an, would he really think so much when he was angry?

The Han Dynasty was unlucky, the emperor was out of order, the country was in trouble, and the society was in disaster.

During the reign of Emperor Huan, eunuchs and relatives took over power alternately. The scholar-officials were dissatisfied with the eunuch's disorderly government, and then there were party disputes with him. There were two major disturbances.

After the two disasters of party imprisonment, eunuchs and relatives are still fighting for power in the court, and the people in the world are in dire straits.

The imperial court is corrupt, the frontier wars continue, the national strength is getting weaker and weaker, and there are natural disasters in the year of disaster. In the seventh year of Guanghe, there was a severe drought in the world, and the people had no income. They rose up one after another and launched fierce attacks on official residences everywhere.

——The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be happy.

These rebellious people wore yellow scarves on their heads, and under the order of Zhang Jiao, a Julu man, they had a huge impact on the Han court.

Emperor Wu set up thirteen prefectures in the Han Dynasty, and each prefecture set up an governor, in order not to let the prefectures and counties monopolize the power. However, in order to quell the chaos, Emperor Ling set up a prefectural shepherd to hold the military and political power of one prefecture, completely sending out the power of each prefecture.

The Yellow Turban Army is everywhere, and the various states are nominally trying to eliminate bandits, but in fact they are annexing each other to expand their power. At this time, the establishment of state pastors is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

As the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling personally tore apart the country and mountains passed down from his ancestors. Although the name of the Great Han Dynasty survived, after the two Emperors Huanling, the Han Dynasty had existed in name only.

After the death of Emperor Ling, Emperor Shao succeeded to the throne. General He Jin and the eunuchs in the palace were at odds with each other. Dong Zhuo took advantage of the chaos to enter Beijing and hijacked the emperor to stay overnight in the palace.

Taishi Dong himself had no scruples about being strong and strong, and he was so arrogant that all the officials in the court were pigs and dogs. He killed people just depending on his mood, and soon offended the court all over the place. Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, with Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, as the vanguard, and fought against Dong Zhuo at Sishui Pass.

The coalition forces were so aggressive that they forced Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an with Emperor Xian, and then burned Luoyang, the capital of the king, causing Luoyang to be desolate and inhabited for more than [-] miles.

Although the Suanzao Alliance has been established, everyone in the alliance has their own ideas. No one dares to face the elite Xiliang army beside Dong Zhuo. They are attacking Dong Zhuo in name, but in fact they have their own ghosts and want to wait for an opportunity to strengthen their own strength. .

Not long after, conflicts broke out among the coalition forces, and the coalition forces that had gathered for seeking Dong were disbanded. However, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu in Chang'an. Since then, the world has been completely in turmoil.

Cao Cao, who was dissatisfied with the behavior of those people in the Suanzao Alliance, raised troops in Chenliu and led his troops westward alone. After Dong Zhuo's execution, Cao Cao was defeated by Du, Bairao and other clans in Dongjun, and then developed his own power as the prefect of Dongjun.

There are so many people with lofty ideals in the world, he will not be the only one who really wants to quell the chaos. Cao Mengde is full of enthusiasm, and he never gave up even after repeated failures. Finally, he has a place in this chaotic world.

In the second year of Chuping, the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, Qingzhou revived. Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei, welcomed Cao Cao as Yanzhou Mu and joined forces to resist the Yellow Turbans.

In Yanzhou, the cold winter has passed, and the army that has been nesting for the winter has come back to life with the warmer weather. In Changyi City, the army is about to leave for Kuangting, and now it is making final preparations.

Candles were flickering in the heavily guarded courtyard, and Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were facing stacks of bamboo slips in the study. Important matters had already been sent to the lord, and there was no rush for the rest. At this moment, Xun Yu got up and cut the lanterns He took a coat and put it on for the people next to him, "It's getting late and the night is cold, Zhicai will have to fight with the lord in a few days, so you have to pay more attention to your body."

The young man with outstanding appearance was dressed in a romantic green shirt. Xun Wenruo, who was born in a noble family, carried a unique nobility all over his body. A faint fragrance radiated from him. Not even the slightest bit of impatience.

Xi Zhicai didn't look up, and after reading the bamboo slips in his hand, he tightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Wen Ruo praised his loyalty too much in front of the lord, if something goes wrong, wouldn't he be sorry for Wen Ruo's praise?"

The two of them were from Yingchuan, they had been friends since they were young, they had a close relationship in front of outsiders, and they got along more casually in private.

"When did you learn how to honor filial piety?" The noble young man laughed and cursed, put on the outer coat before turning around and continuing, "I'll deal with these things tomorrow. You should rest early. I'll take care of you first." gone."

Xi Zhicai rubbed the center of his brows, got up and sent the person outside the door, covered his lips and coughed twice after the person walked away, his body really couldn't stand the toss.

But now the lord has internal and external troubles, and there is no time left for him to recuperate, so Xi Zhi sighed, turned around and prepared to collect the bamboo slips and leave here.

There are only a few steps from the door to the book case. However, the man didn't walk over this distance. It wasn't that there was something wrong with his body, but a figure suddenly appeared above his head, facing straight He smashed it down.

This kind of accident should not have occurred in the heavily guarded mansion, but it still happened.

The young man who fell from the sky and directly knocked him out had a sick look on his face, and stood up dangling while propping up the desk next to him. If he didn't have a sigh of relief in his heart, he might have passed out by now.

The young boy who looked like he was only in his teens was holding his head, his face was flushed abnormally, and his mind was even more muddled. He couldn't use any strength and could only lean on the desk to breathe.
