Longxian, the current capital of Liangzhou, is no longer what it used to be.

In the past, Liangzhou was sparsely populated and uninhabited for thousands of miles. There were also many people who could not bear the harassment of the Qiang people and the tyranny of the government, and hid in the mountains one after another.

However, since Wenzhao pacified the eastern counties of Liangzhou and promulgated a series of measures to benefit the country and the people, many people hiding in the mountains have come to the government to register their household registration.

In addition, coupled with the newly migrated population, the total population of Liangzhou has already exceeded one million.

Subsequently, under the impetus of Xu Huang, Dong Zhao and Yan Pu, the people of Hanzhong also began to migrate to Liangzhou.

In this way, in just one year, the population of Liangzhou has reached 1.5 million words.

With a population of more than 1.5 million, although it seems like a lot, it is nothing for the huge Liangzhou region.

Rao is like this, and now Liangzhou has become unrecognizable.

And in order to resettle such a large number of people, the huge amount of money and food invested in the entire Guanzhong is simply incalculable. made Guanzhong, which was already relatively wealthy, live a tight life again.

If it weren't for Wen Zhao exchanging a large amount of grain and grass with war horses to Sun Ce, I'm afraid that there would be a famine in Guanzhong this year because of immigration.

Fortunately, the difficulties will be solved after all, and the current Liangzhou has begun to slowly get on the right track under the governance of Chen Jing and Zhong Xuan.

……

The streets are bustling with people, their faces are full of joy, and occasionally children can be seen clutching the tails of big dogs and playing.

Zhong Xuan walked down the street with a team of armor soldiers, looking at the scene in front of him, with a smile on his face.

He couldn't help but secretly think: "In another three or five years, the land of Liangzhou will also become the lord's most solid base camp." ”

"Stomp, stomp!"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and I saw a heavily armed soldier come to Zhong Xuan's side, dismount and say, "Sir, the general asked you to hurry to the Assassin's Mansion quickly." ”

Zhong Xuan's heart was shocked, and he secretly thought: "Count the days, the lord's letter should have arrived, right?" ”

Thinking of this, he quickly rushed to the Assassin's Mansion.

In the Assassin's Mansion, Chen Jing sat on the main seat, holding Wen Zhao's handwritten letter, and read it several times. His next place is Fan Chou, Yang Ding, Yang Qiu, Ma Wan, Li Le, and Han Xian.

It can be said that several generals in Liangzhou who hold real power have now been summoned by Chen Jing.

"General, but the reply from the lord has arrived?"

Zhong Xuan hurriedly walked into the Assassin's Mansion and saw that everyone had arrived, so he couldn't help but ask loudly.

Although Chen Jing has the title of Liangzhou Assassin, Zhong Miao is still used to calling him a general, as if Chen Jing has always called Zhong Xuan a gentleman.

Seeing Zhong Xuan's arrival, Chen Jing showed a bright smile on her face, got up to greet her in person, and said, "Mr. is here, please take a seat." ”

After Zhong Xuan sat down, Chen Jing waved the letter in his hand and said, "The lord has a word, this matter should be done cautiously, and I will discuss and decide with you. ”

Zhong Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Didn't the lord say anything else?" ”

Chen Jing shook his head and said, "The lord only said: Liangzhou is remote, and our understanding of Liangzhou's affairs is far greater than that of everyone in the court. ”

"What's more, the gentleman is a famous man in the world, full of wisdom; Fan Chou, Yang Ding, Yang Qiu, Ma Wan and other generals are all heroes of Liangzhou, and it is enough for us to guard Liangzhou and face the Qiang people. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces showed a look of satisfaction.

But he didn't want to, Chen Jing suddenly changed his words and said: "It's just that the lord also said that in the process of seizing the opportunity to eliminate the Qiang people, you should also be vigilant, and don't fall for the Qiang people's plan." ”

"Liangzhou Ma Teng is a lesson from the past."

When everyone heard this, their hearts were all in shock, and they were silent.

This time, the Liangzhou emergency report was not because of the Qiang people Koubian, nor because of the rebellion of other bandits, but because of a letter from Yan Xing.

It turned out that when Yan Xing took revenge on Han Sui, he privately surrendered to the Qiang people, set up a plan to lure the enemy into the depths, broke the Xiliang army, and almost killed Ma Teng.

Although Ma Teng was rescued by Pang De at that time, Ma Chao was defeated and captured.

Even if Ma Chao was defeated, he also made a name for himself among the Qiang people, even Yan Xing, who was also a warrior in Liangzhou, was almost killed by Ma Chao.

The Qiang people have always worshiped the strong, not to mention that the Ma clan used to have a great relationship with the Qiang people, and Ma Chao himself has half Qiang blood.

The leader of the Qiang people cherished Ma Chao's bravery, so he ignored Yan Xing's opposition and did not kill Ma Chao.

In this way, Ma Chao became a prisoner of the Qiang people, and after his injuries were healed, Ma Chao was repeatedly invited by the leader of the Qiang people, and Ma Chao surrendered to the Qiang people.

From then on, Ma Chao's status among the Qiang people was not even below Yan Xing, and he often went toe-to-toe with Yan Xing.

And compared with Yan Xing, a pure Han people, the leader of the Qiang people is more important to Ma Chao, who has half of his own blood.

Ma Chao was also heroic and extraordinary, and soon won the support of all the Qiang people, and his status among the entire Qiang people was getting higher and higher.

Gradually, Yan Xing began to suffer exclusion. There were many times when he felt Ma Chao's undisguised killing intent towards him.

Yan Xing's surrender to the Qiang people was originally to kill the Ma father and son, but now he didn't kill even one of them, and he suddenly felt resentful.

Coupled with the unsatisfactory life, Yan Xing immediately had a rebellion, and wanted to fornicate with Chen Jing, the assassin of Liangzhou, so as to dig a big pit for the Qiang people and let them jump out.

And Yan Xing also began to prepare to break away from the Qiang people, return to the Han Dynasty, and join Wen Zhao under the rule.

Of course, the above series of things are only known by Chen Jing and others through Yan Xing's letters, but the truth is unknown.

It's just that the big cake drawn by Yan Xing made Chen Jing and the others excited.

Yan Xing said in his letter that as long as he was willing to kill Ma Chao for him, he would encourage the Qiang people to raise a large army and come to attack Liangzhou.

Yan Xing himself, however, would secretly bring the Qiang people into the encirclement of the Han army, so that the Han army could annihilate them in one battle. This temptation made Chen Jing and the others ready to move, and they had the intention of uniting with Yan Xing to encircle and annihilate the Qiang people.

In fact, it's not just the generals of Liangzhou, I'm afraid that even if Wen Zhao gets the news, he can't help but be moved.

That's why Chen Jing secretly sent someone back to Pusaka to ask Wen Zhao for instructions.

In fact, for this matter, Pusaka Wenwu also has a lot of discussions.

Many people feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; There are also many people who are worried that this is a trap for the Qiang people.

Later, Chen Xu asked Ji Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji said: "The generals in Liangzhou are not mediocre, not to mention that the current Qiang people are much weaker than before. ”

"Even if there is fraud, with the strength of Liangzhou, as long as the generals of Liangzhou are careful and vigilant, it will not be a big problem."

"On the contrary, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will cost a lot to raise troops to fight against the Qiang people in the future."
