Yanbei put down the book, although the north is stable, the world is eventful.

None of the Kwantung princes south of the Yellow River stopped, and Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yuzhou, and the troops and horses were strong to recover half of Yuzhou's land under Guo Gong's subordinates; Yuan Shu, who occupied the south, fought with Zhang Ying and Fan Neng, who were under Liu Xiang in Yangzhou, and this year Liu Shu expelled the two Taishou who Yuan Shu left in the south of Yangzhou, and at the same time did not accept Zhuge Xuan, the Taishou sent by Liu Biao to Yuzhang. And this year, Fan Neng fled Yangzhou after being defeated by Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling, and Zhang Ying was killed on the spot in the battle with Sun Ce. At this point, Liu Miao was defeated and took refuge in Liu Bei's Xuzhou.

This gave Yuan Shu an excuse to attack Liu Bei, and immediately led his troops to sweep through Yangzhou and go north into Xuzhou. Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shu was powerful, so he asked for help from the allied Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in March, but Cao Cao's main army had just been sent to Yuzhou, and only ordered the three thousand soldiers who stayed in the state capital to go to Xuzhou to help in the war. Yuan Shao, who had just taken Donglai from Tian Yu and obtained southern Qingzhou, was even more honorable, and the warrant for a long distance was transmitted to Xuzhou...... Even with the 3,000 soldiers of Cao's army, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to Yuan Shu's army.

When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he almost smashed the foundation of Xuzhou, and the people were less than four points of Youzhou, and the old ordnance was almost destroyed.

However, Yuan Shu has his subordinates who have been fighting in various places for a long time, and before this battle has begun, Liu Bei's confidence will be three points shorter.

This is the situation in various places before the recent envoys from various places sent to Yanbei, and they only know about the war in Xuzhou in April, but they are not clear in the future. However, this is also very beneficial to Yanbei, not to mention, at least the Kwantung princes in the south are eyeing Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and he can free up his hands to clean up Ma Shoucheng in the west.

Yan Bei nodded lightly, looked at Ma Dai standing under the hall, he was young and dressed in a military uniform, and the ribbon seal showed that he was a lieutenant under General Zhengxi, and there were even carvings of strange beasts in the Western Regions on the belt and belt around his waist, and he didn't let Ma Dai sit down, and asked with a smile: "Captain Ma, what is the strange beast on your armor?" ”

Ma Dai thought that Yanbei would ask him why he came to the Central Plains first, but when he heard Yanbei's words, he paused for a moment, and then still maintained his posture and said: "Go back to Da Sima, this is a lion, a strange beast in the Western Regions, 15,000 miles west of Chang'an, there are Wuyi countries, lions, rhinoceros. ”

There are no wonders in the world, and Yanbei does not delve into it, and asks Ma Dai: "I heard that General Zhengxi did not mean to settle Liangzhou, but instead led his troops east out of Longguan and occupied Chang'an...... Even if you want to be an enemy of the imperial court, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right? ”

Ma Teng's step made Yanbei doubt himself a little. Could it be that the Yan clan has killed Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Li Wei, Guo Yan, and Duan Xuan, so many Xizhou generals, so Ma Teng didn't feel a little scared, he was appointed as the big Sima in Yecheng on the front foot, and Ma Teng dared to occupy Chang'an on the back foot?

It's too big!

"Da Sima is too worried, we don't have the idea of being an enemy of the imperial court, and we are paying tribute to the imperial court on the order of the general to show respect." Although Ma Dai looks a little wooden, he always speaks with a smiling face, which makes people happy, and he is respectful to Yan Bei, who is only a few years older, and said: "I just hope that Da Sima can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, so that we can garrison troops in Fufeng, which is Ma's hometown." ”

Yan Bei squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Dai and said, "Are you fighting with Han Wenyue again?" ”

What Fufeng is Ma's hometown, Yanbei doesn't believe it at all, Xiangping is still his hometown, why don't you see him Yan Da Sima pulled out 100,000 troops in his hometown!

Hearing Yan Bei's question, Ma Dai held back his expression and wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and said very seriously: "Da Sima, this year, General Zhengxi and General Zhenxi killed the white horse in Longxian County and became brothers of the opposite sex...... We didn't fight, we were like a family. ”

Yo, that's a big deal! The two warlord leaders of Xiliang formed an alliance to recognize brothers, and Yanbei didn't know about such an important thing!

"They became brothers, and the people of Liangzhou had a good life. Well, if you say such a thing to Your Majesty, you may really be able to answer it. But Yan still heard what you meant. Yan Bei threw the jade axe on the case, stood up and paced, then turned to Ma Dai and said: "That is to say, you want to occupy Chang'an and control Sanfu with soldiers and horses, but you don't want to fight with Yan...... Where in the world is there such a good thing? ”

Although Yanbei still can't figure out what Ma Teng is thinking, it is true that Sanfu is better than Liangzhou, and the land is fertile. But now there are not many people in Sanfu, which is about the same as east of Tongguan. For a while, he had not even dealt with Luoyang yet, and he didn't have time to clean up the west of Tongguan, but giving the land to Ma Teng like this made Yanbei worried.

Not only Yanbei, who in the world is not worried about the people of Liangzhou?

"Da Sima, in order to help the wind, the Ma clan is not afraid of a battle, and the late Li Cheqi knows." Ma Dai raised his head slightly, although he knew that he was now standing in the Da Sima Mansion in Yedu, Jizhou, and there were hundreds of elite and brave warriors outside the hall gate, when he still looked at Yan Bei and said: "I came down to hope to avoid a war with Your Excellency, General Zhengxi respects you very much, otherwise there is no need to travel two thousand miles to send artifacts from the Western Regions." ”

Yan Bei frowned, he could see that the Ma clan probably didn't want to fight with him, otherwise he really didn't have to do so much. Or rather, Ma Teng was reluctant to fight him, at least for now, and just wanted to choose easier means to get the land near Chang'an...... As for Fufeng? Who cares, left and right Yanbei didn't care much about Ma's obsession with Fufeng.

In fact, he didn't know that since Emperor Xiaowu began to enrich the Han people in Liangzhou, he did not allow the people of Liangzhou to move inward, and Zhang Huan, one of the three masters of Liangzhou, asked the emperor for permission to move in after getting the merits of the war, so Zhang Huan's family changed from Liangzhou people to Hongnong people. And Ma has always been supporting the wind, that is, the descendants of Ma Rong and Ma Riyan; Ma Teng's ancestors stayed in Liangzhou after going to the official because he was an official in Liangzhou, and over time he became a genuine Liangzhou person.

Yan Bei looked at Ma Dai and asked in disbelief, "You fought with Li Zhiran because of this in the first place?" ”

Ma Dai didn't answer, but he seemed to acquiesce.

"I know that you are not afraid of a battle, and Yan is not afraid either. But Yan also had the feeling of being sincerely attached to the imperial court but was almost turned away. If you are sincere in your attachment, Yan doesn't care about Ma's troops to help the wind. Yan Bei said, then squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "I will appoint General Ma as the right Fufeng and allow him to garrison Huaili." But at the same time, you must be subject to the moderation of the commander of the Si Li, and the imperial court will appoint the Liangzhou Assassin, and the Ma clan will persuade Jincheng Han Wenyue to accept moderation for the imperial court. The two generals, Han and Ma, each sent a son to Yedu as a Lang official to serve His Majesty...... Ma is not even afraid of a battle, these requirements are also reasonable, right? ”
