Liangzhou is located on the border, with Han people and Hu people living together in the state, and the people's customs are fierce. If they are recruited from the state, they will definitely be strong soldiers. Back then, Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang cavalry and went rampant across the world. This is what happened.
Yongzhou is located in the Guanzhong Plain with fertile land. The Qin State and the Former Han Dynasty dominated the world based on Yongzhou.
If a certain prince occupies these two states, he will also possess food and elite troops, creating the momentum that Qin used to destroy the six kingdoms, and it can be said to be a place of hegemony.
Now Liangzhou and Yongzhou are occupied by Ma Teng, Han Sui, Cheng Yin, Ma Wan, Li Kan, Liang Xing, and the Han Dynasty. Forget the Han Dynasty, the remaining Guanzhong princes, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others
The heroes in each battle are all brave and good at fighting, causing harm to the northwest.[
If Liu Feng goes to war, he will definitely go out to the northwest and wipe out all the heroes.
Because Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao could not be eliminated quickly, Liu Feng's strategy was to send troops to the west, annex the weak, strengthen himself, and then return to fight these three princes for a decisive battle.
If Liu Feng sends troops to Liu Zhang first, Ma Teng and Han Sui will definitely attack Chang'an, and Chang'an is in danger of overthrowing. But if Liu Feng sends troops to the northwest, Liu Zhang is weak and his troops are not strong. Liu Feng has the barrier of Hanzhong, which can stop it for a while.
, Liu Zhang has no threatening power at all.
Liu Feng's goal is the northwest, which is inevitable. Similarly, there are wise men in the northwest who can realize that if Liu Feng doesn't move, he will move to the northwest, and if he moves, he will go northwest, so he takes trouble.
This person is Sima Yi.
At first, Sima Yi wanted to lead his troops to the northwest with Zhong Yao to defect to Ma Teng and Han Sui. However, Zhong Yao said that he was old and refused to go with Sima Yi. Sima Yi had no choice but to lead his family into the northwest.
On the way to Xianyang, Sima Yi met Ma Teng, so they fell in love with each other and called each other Ming Gong, sir.
Sima Yi was also a true scholar and an enemy of the Han Dynasty. After the two sides met, Sima Yi made a plan for Ma, which was to annex the other heroes in Guanzhong and divide Liangzhou and Yongzhou equally with Han Sui to become the two heroes in the northwest.
On the one hand, it can strengthen itself, on the other hand, it can also compete with the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, it can also put an end to Liu Feng's repeated alienation tactics.
In addition, although the heroes of the world failed, their vitality was not damaged. If Liu Feng left Luoyang and fought in the northwest, the heroes of the world could also raise troops to contain him. The two heroes could defend the city and pass with strong troops, and they might be able to fight the Han Dynasty without losing.
In short, people are alive, and if they have soldiers, generals, and a city, there will always be a way.
Because this matter was not only beneficial to Ma Teng, but also beneficial to Han Sui. So as soon as Ma Teng revealed his intention, Han Sui immediately agreed.
The two parties secretly communicated about the song and planned it for many days.
In the recent year, Liu Xie changed his reign name to "Zhongxing", which was the first year of Zhongxing. He was so ambitious that his fangs were bound to show up. Then he gave Liu Feng Jingen chariot, Wushi auxiliary chariot and other imperial chariots, which is widely rumored.
The intention of taking the throne made father and son closer together, and then Liu Feng created a book, which was popular among people.
After that, Liu Feng practiced spears and swords, trained elite soldiers, and had fierce generals under his tent.
Finally, the cities, prefectures and counties under the rule of the Han Dynasty such as Chang'an, Hanzhong, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou became more and more prosperous, and they had the momentum to dominate the world.
So in the northwest, there was an undercurrent among the heroes in Guanzhong, who were very afraid of the power of the Han Dynasty, fearing that they would be killed or even annihilate the three tribes.
As time went by, this undercurrent became more and more turbulent. Some scholars even had the intention of surrender in their hearts, making the undercurrent even more shocking.
