[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

Ling Han first ordered the army to march towards Bingzhou, he rested for an extra day, and when the pain in his waist and hips improved, he and his personal guards rode fast horses to chase after him.

On the third day after receiving the call for help, Yanzhou Dongjun.

Ling Han caught up with the large army at noon yesterday, and led the army into the city to rest in the evening.

In the morning, he was preparing to order troops to move on, when Zhuge Liang came from outside and reported: "Your Highness, Ma Teng, the leader of Liangzhou, sent his eldest son Ma Chao to surrender!"

Ling Han was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Where is Ma Chao now?"

Zhuge Liang said: "It's just outside the residence."

Not long after, above the palace.

Ma Chao walked over quickly, knelt down and saluted, "Ma Chao of Xiliang, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Changsha."

Ling Han said: "This king has heard of your name before, so let's get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Ma Chao carefully expressed the sincerity of his father and Uncle Han—after Ma Teng decided to surrender, he did not forget to remind his brother.

Seeing this, Han Sui, no matter whether he wanted to or not, was unable to resist alone and could only choose to surrender.

After saying all this, Ma Chao suddenly leaned over and cupped his fists again and said, "My father and Uncle Han both have a request, and I hope His Highness can consider it."

Ling Han said: "Just tell me."

Therefore, Ma Chao stated his own proposition in detail: nominally surrender, and pay taxes every year, but Ma Teng and Han Sui have full power to decide all matters in Liangzhou.

After saying this, Ma Chao felt a little uneasy.The request to surrender this time was brought about by my own efforts, and it has become an irreparable bow and arrow.

If he can't get the approval of the king of Changsha, he really has no face to go back.

Ling Han laughed and said: "It's not difficult, this king will allow it."

Ma Teng and Han Sui still have a large number of elite soldiers in their hands. If they stick to Liangzhou, they will have to sacrifice a large number of soldiers if they want to subdue them.

After Langya's bloody battle, so many fresh lives died before his eyes, if he could stop fighting, he would naturally not want to fight.

Liangzhou is a remote and bitterly cold place, so what if Ma Teng is temporarily in command of Liangzhou.After a few years, when the entire Central Plains prospers, it will naturally be affected there.

Ma Chao was overjoyed and said: "Then go back and report this to your father. Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely begin to retreat within three days."

In the following days, Ling Han temporarily stayed in Yanzhou, waiting for Han Sui and Ma Teng to completely withdraw from the Central Plains.

However, before the news of Liangren's retreat was received, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong sent a letter of surrender.

Hanzhong is no better than Liangzhou. It has neither strong soldiers nor natural dangers, so it has no qualifications to negotiate conditions.Zhang Lu said bluntly in the letter: Hanzhong is waiting for His Highness to send someone to change defenses and take over at any time.

There is no rush on this matter, the most important thing right now is for Ma Teng and Han Sui to withdraw from the Central Plains.

During the days of waiting, Liu Xie came to Dongjun Mansion this afternoon.

Since he was rescued in Yanzhou, he took Fushou and his guards to travel around the mountains and rivers, very happy.It wasn't until five days ago that he heard that the emperor's brother had been besieged in Langya, and he fought bloody battles for several days before he was able to win.

So, after Liu Xie inquired about Ling Han's whereabouts, he came to Dongjun County to visit.

"Unknowingly, I haven't seen the emperor brother for a year."

Liu Xie asked: "I heard that Brother Huang's legs and feet were injured earlier, how are you doing now?"

Ling Han stared at his younger brother.I haven't seen each other for a year, and the other party has been tanned a lot, and it seems that he has visited a lot of places.

He smiled and said, "It's been fine for a long time."

Liu Xie didn't really believe it: "But I heard that Brother Huang didn't come with the army that day, and he dared to go on the road after resting for an extra day. It can be seen that Brother Huang's foot injury was not fully healed three days ago."

Ling Han suddenly started coughing.

Liu Xie hurried forward and said with concern: "Brother Huang has contracted the wind and cold again? Brother Huang is in good condition, so he has to go on the march again. He really should rest for a few more days. After all, Cao Cao is dead, and there is no rush to recover other places. At this moment."

Ling Han waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Fortunately, he thought, no one else knew how he was recovering from his foot injury.

After chatting for a while, Liu Xie suddenly asked, "I don't know... when does the emperor plan to ascend the throne?"

The word enthronement made Ling Han startled slightly.

Later, he asked Liu Xie, "Is this what you want to ask yourself? Or do you ask for others?"

Liu Xie scratched his head: "Brother Huang has eyesight, you can't hide anything from Brother Huang."

He resolutely betrayed: "Actually, Mr. Zhuge asked me to ask. He said that the emperor's early ascension to the throne will also reassure the hearts of everyone and the world."

Seeing that Ling Han didn't answer, Liu Xie couldn't help but asked again: "What do you think, Brother Huang?"

Ling Han looked at him and said, "This matter is not in a hurry."

He was actually a little unsure whether he wanted to do this or not.

However, this matter, like many matters such as taking over the state and continuing reforms, can be counted as important but not urgent.

He has a lot of room for trial and error.

"Your Highness."

A soldier came to report: "The news just came that Ma Teng and Han Sui have led their troops back to Liangzhou."

"That's fine."

Ling Han glanced at Liu Xie who was beside him, Liu Xie hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, just go to work if you have something to do, don't worry about me, I will come to find Brother Huang when he finishes his work."

Ling Han nodded, he really needed to do something as soon as possible.

After Han Sui and Ma Teng withdrew from the Central Plains, many sites in Sili and Bingzhou were completely deserted.Wherever these Xiliang soldiers went, even if Ma Teng and Han Sui strictly controlled their subordinates, they would definitely bring moderate disasters to the local people.

Five days later, Ling Han arrived at Sili smoothly and took over the place.

Both Chang'an and Luoyang are here, and the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty is also here, and he needs to restore it properly.

Bingzhou was led by Zhuge Liang.

In addition to rescuing the people, he also had to negotiate with Yuan Shang.

Luoyang.

Ling Han came to the former imperial palace.

In the beginning, he escaped from here, and used this as a starting point to travel to several states.

Today, this place has been reduced to ruins.

Ling Han followed his memory and found the original bamboo grove—although the whole bamboo grove was burned by fire, traces of its past existence could be found. Its area is still very small, and the end can be seen at a glance.

"Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci, you promised in your dream that when I rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, it will be the time for you to show up to solve the confusion."

Today, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Jizhou, Sili, and Qingzhou are all in their own hands.

Yizhou is waiting for himself to take over.

Youzhou and Bingzhou still belong to Yuan Shang now, but as early as when the other party asked for help, he had already expressed his intention to belong to Yuan Shang.Yuan Shang fought against Cao Cao and Ma Teng consecutively, and suffered heavy losses. He had no more troops. If he wanted to repent, he could easily attack by force.

As for Jiaozhou in the far south, Shi Xie sent envoys to make friends a long time ago, and he always regarded himself as a Hanchen.

It was only because Jiaozhou was too desolate and remote that Ling Han never sent anyone there.

The thirteen states in the world have already belonged to themselves in name.

Although many territories are not yet stable, the road to reform is even more arduous.but--

The Central Plains is unified, and there are many talents under his command.Ling Han has every reason to believe that the Han Dynasty has ushered in another opportunity for prosperity.

"I don't have any doubts about myself. But, who is your master?"

The author has something to say: to be enthroned or not to be enthroned, this is a question.
