Chapter 210
"Report! The pseudo-Emperor and Lu Bu and his party have arrived in Lantian and are heading south along the Languan Ancient Road, and are about to approach the Fengyun Mountain and Chipanling area!"
"Report! The pseudo-Emperor and Lu Bu and his party are close to the area of **Taiwan and Yongshan, and are about to approach Shangluo County!"
As the scouts heard, Wang Lixin, who was sitting in the former Prime Minister Dong Zhuo's mansion, became more and more calm, and Chang'an finally stabilized.
Wang Li turned his head to Xun You, and saw that the famous "scheming master" in history was whispering with Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "Gongda, Lu Bu and the fake emperor are about to leave our Sizhou territory. Do you think we should pursue it or not?"
"Don't chase!"
“Why?”
"Where is the lord who thinks Lu Bu will escape?" Xun You looked at Wang Li with a smile, like an old fox.
Wang Li frowned at the map: "Lu Bu's troops left the Bacheng Gate of Chang'an, walked through Baqiao, Lantian, Shangluo directly grabbed Wu Pass, and outside Wu Pass was Jingzhou. The prefect of Jingzhou Liu Biao lacked enough strategy and had more than enough defense to defend the city. Although Jingzhou had just been defeated by Sun Jian and Jiangxia had lost, there were still two different troops, and Mai Xiu's troops were many and wide. Lu Bu's remaining troops would not dare to stay for a long time.
To the west of Jingzhou is Yizhou. The governor of Yizhou Liu Yan died before the age of a year. Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu fought for the battle. Zhang Lu successively killed the prefect of Hanzhong Su Gu, Sima Zhang Xiu of other troops, and joined forces with the leaders of the Bayi ethnic minority Du, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others to take charge of Ba County north of Yizhou with the Five Doks of Rice. The road to Shu is difficult and difficult to reach the sky. With Lu Bu's current military strength, he dare not enter Sichuan.
The Central Plains had a vast array of materials, including Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qing and Xuzhou. Yuan Shao lived in Jizhou, Yuan Shu occupied Yuzhou, Cao Cao stood in Yanzhou, but used troops to Qingxu, Han Fu and Tao Qian survived, and there were constant disputes among the heroes.
Furthermore, because Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others betrayed, the Cao army was entangled in Chenliu. The leader of Yanzhou Shi Jin was only a mediocre person, and it was suitable for Lu Bu and others to take Li in the fire. Therefore, the target of Lu Bu and the fake emperor should be Yanzhou!"
Speaking of this, Wang Li said in his heart that Lu Bu was welcomed into Yanzhou for Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others in history. It seems that the inertia of history is still strong enough. Could it be that there will be another Guandu battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the future, and Lu Bu will still die in Baimen Tower? What should I do if Na Chang'er is right?
At first, Lu Zhi was fighting to block himself to the death just to let the dragon into the sea, but he surrounded him and no, he surrounded him and did he also let the tiger return to the mountain? However, Lu Zhi protected the fake emperor Liu Xie, but he wanted to let Lu Bu go. He just wanted Lu Bu as his "vanguard" to sweep the world, but he did not expect Lu Bu to embark on the old path of history again.
Xun You had already smiled and stood up and bowed to Wang Li, saying, "Yes, Lu Bu wants to pull the mouth of Li Hu in the fire! Then, You asked another question, the lord thought that which is more important, Chang'an or Zhongyuan, should it be? "
"It goes without saying that nowadays, Chang'an should be the most important, and Jizhou should be the most important in two or three years!" Wang Li raised his eyebrows and felt a little complicated. He accidentally pushed Chang'er into the fire pit.
"Since that's the case, why should the lord ask clearly?" Xun You walked to the map and pointed to the area in the Central Plains and explained, "Yuan Shao swept through most of Jizhou, Qinghe, Hejian, Bohai and Pingyuan eight counties were all included in the tent, and Han Fu had only the four counties of Zhao, Changshan, Guangping and Wei County.
Similarly, after killing Bian Rang, Cao Cao drove troops to Yanzhou, Chenliu, Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao, Xu Si, Wang Kai and others all lost several battles, and were forced to Yongqiu, Tuxian, Xiangyi and Jiwu by Cao's army.
Since ancient times, those who have won the Central Plains have won the world. The heroes have shown their sharp claws, and they are all eyeing the Central Plains. Yuan Shao is ambitious and Cao Cao is ambitious. If a wolf-like ambition and a king of Chenliu suddenly descends to the Central Plains, I believe there will be a battle between them.
There is no place for two tigers in a mountain, unless one male and one female. This battle cannot be stopped for a year or two. Moreover, there will only be one winner in this battle, and these are the opportunities for the lord.
Therefore, Lu Bu's trouble lies not in us, but in the Central Plains. The lord's top priority is not Lu Bu but Chang'an, and Chang'an's top priority is Ma Teng, Xiliang!"
Chang'an! Ma Teng!
Xun You's words are sonorous and powerful, and they are landing soundly!
...
Lu Zhi left, and returned to Luoyang with his unyielding, integrity and passion. But Ma Teng came, bringing his sincerity.
In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Li and Ma Teng sat facing each other, Wang Li was placed on the right, while Ma Teng lived on the left.
The palace was filled with civil officials and military officials, Huangfu Song, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Yunlu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and Jia Xu were also on the list. Only Li, Xu Rong, Gao Shun, Liang Xing and others were setting up the defense of Chang'an or going to Wuguan to be in the hall.
"General Ma, please!" Wang Li invited Ma Teng to take his seat and raised his glass to Ma Teng. "When Wang was in Kyoto in the past, he talked with his uncle and second uncle about the martyrs of our Han Dynasty. Many of them had heard them mention the old stories of General Fubo of the ancestor of Ling.
Whenever I think of General Fu Bo's bloody heart and the heroic spirit of Ma Liang, Wang is excited and highly praised. Today, he can meet the general in the old capital of my Han Dynasty, and then talk about Ma Fu Bo, which is really fortunate for three lives!”
Ma Fubo is Ma Teng's ancestor and the glory of the Ma family, but Ma Teng's previous behavior is indeed not loyal and righteous.
Listening to Wang Li's joking and talking, his words were full of praise. Although Ma Teng was a politician and hero, he still couldn't help but blushed, and a sip of wine almost choked in his throat.
Suddenly, he heard the next son Ma Yunlu pretending to be angry: "Are my brother and I not descendants of my ancestors? General Wang, just this sentence, you should have a drink of wine!"
Ma Teng's face was tightened when he felt a look of relief: "Lu'er, don't be rude!"
Wang Li had already praised her secretly. The girl was indeed very intelligent. She resolved Ma Teng's embarrassment with one word. She raised her wine glass and drank it all, and smiled at Ma Teng: "Miss Yunlu is chasing Shang Wu Ding's wife, and General Meng Qi is even a young hero. It is because this general made inappropriate words. It is true that the general should punish him. There is no need to do so!"
Wang Li talked and laughed, and the scene immediately became harmonious.
"Deyu, now Lu Bu has been expelled and Li is under your command. The three servants will be at peace from now on. What are your plans?" As soon as tea drank and touched, Ma Teng's vigilance finally relaxed a little, but his words still felt very tentative.
"General Ma, are you saying this a little too much? Although Li Juyi and Lu Bu were expelled, the soldiers around Chang'an were also empty, it might be a bit early to talk about the Sanfu An Ning? I heard that a few days ago, Han Sui personally led the four generals Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi to attack Wuwei and approached Huining City. The general almost couldn't bear it!" Wang Li looked at Ma Teng with a strange expression.
Ma Teng shook his head and said seriously: "General Wang is such a bad word! In fact, there were not only four generals of Han Sui at the city that day, but also Han Sui's son-in-law Yan Xing and Yan Yanming. But with my Ma family army here, how could they allow them to interfere in the territory of my Wuwei?
What's more, with the assistance of his noble servant Wenhe, our army defeated Han Sui that day, and General Wang killed horses and played. He was the candidate, Liang Xing surrendered. Han Sui was frightened and had already returned to Xiping overnight to accompany Han Songjian."
Wang Li laughed, filled Ma Teng with his own hands, and comforted him: "General Ma, please rest assured, Wang has no intention of annexing Liangzhou. Wang invited the general to come this time to discuss the matter of your and my alliance. I wonder what the general thinks?"
Ma Teng was happy when he heard this. Before, the two of them had only been initially working together, and now they are re-proposed.
Obviously, this is to re-dividate the power, pour the wine in the glass into his throat, and hesitatedly glanced at Wang Li: "General Wang, who are you going to hand over these three assistants to Mu Shou?"
Wang Li smiled indifferently: "You Mu Shou in Liangzhou, Sanfu, what do you think of my father-in-law?"
Huangfu Song was a famous general at the end of the Han Dynasty and had a general style. He was also upright and generous, and was well-known for his sergeants. The most important thing is that he never relied on his power to bully others, and he was kind and friendly to the people under the shepherd. He could treat all his identities equally no matter what ethnic group he had.
When he was in charge of the Northern Land, he built the Northern Land into the south of the Yangtze River. When he was appointed as the governor of Jizhou, he saw that Jizhou had a letter to exempt people from taxes. The people of Jizhou all sang: "The world is in chaos and the city is in ruins. The mother does not protect her son and her wife loses her husband. She will rely on Huangfu to live in peace again." The late Hanyang prefect Fu Xie came from this person's disciple.
"If this is the case, Ma should believe in the general's arrangement. Ma also believes that there is a General Huangfu in charge of Guanzhong, Sizhou, and the next day, it will definitely be another Jiangnan!"
Wang Li shook his head and smiled, "General Ma doesn't know that this is called Guanzhong in Sizhou. I'm afraid it's not long before. After taking Chang'an a few days ago, I have jointly written a letter with my uncle, Gongda, Fengxiao, Zhicai and others. The Guanzhong area of Sizhou may be renamed Yongzhou in the future.
The territory under its jurisdiction includes: Longxi, Guangwei, Tianshui, Nan'an, Anding, the northern land and the Sanfu. In the future, they will be neighbors in Liangzhou of the General!"
"Yongzhou?"
"That's right! Yong is harmonious and united. Yongxi changes and everything is restored!"
"What a change in Yongxi, everything is restored!" Ma Teng slapped his hands on the desk table and laughed, and directly carried his wine goblet and poured it into his mouth, shouting, "General Wang, since you also mentioned that you should be harmonious and united, Yongxi is changing in Yongxi, then Ma has a request, hoping that the general can agree!"
“What are the requirements?”
"Ma hopes to marry the general?"
Marrying with me? Ma Yunlu?
This is Zilong’s wife, where is my dish?
Wang Li was stunned and saw that Ma Yunlu's face was like red cloth, his eyes were a little embarrassed and angry, and Zhao Yun's face also showed a hint of unnaturalness.
Just as he was about to tell Ma Teng, he heard Ma Teng continue, "Ma heard that Zhao Zilong of Changshan was the confidant of General Wang, and the general also regarded him as his legitimate brother. As the saying goes, the elder brother is like his father and the elder sister-in-law is like his mother. Ma intends to marry his little daughter to General Zhao as his wife. Does the general think it is okay?"
I'll just let it go, don't you breathe so much, right?
Wang Li glared at Ma Teng and patted his chest: "This is a great joy. What is the general's intention? Miss Yunlu is heroic and wise and martial, and her brother Zilong is righteous and wise and brave. She is just a pair made by heaven and a pair set by earth.
Wang will hire my brother Zilong to Miss Yunlu tomorrow and form a relative with the general. From then on, you and I will make an appointment with Qin and Jin to share wealth and hardships!"
Ma Yunlu turned angry and happy, but his face was still blushing. He gave Zhao Yun a fierce look. Zhao Yun was immediately at a loss and everyone laughed.
Wang Liyi held Ma Teng and stood up with a smile, slapped his hands and shouted: "It's only half a month before the Spring Festival, and the counties and the three auxiliary departments in Chang'an have been decided, and Yongzhou is about to open a new page. I decided: Let's marry a beautiful wife for our General Zilong this year and make a fuss about him. What do you think?"
"good!"
Everyone applauded and laughed, almost lifting the roof of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the old fox Jia Xu's face emitted rays of light.
