Hua Yun said: "If Gao Jin occupies all the land in Hebei, how will Mr. Cao deal with himself?"
Man Chong was silent and then realized that Hua Yun had become Xun You's lobbyist.
Hua Yun continued: "At that time, Gao Jin will monopolize the five states. In a short time, he will have three to four hundred thousand elite soldiers and thousands of generals. If they advance from Hebei, Qingxu, and several states, can Duke Cao resist this?
At that time, Duke Cao still had Sun Ce as his rival in Jingzhou. Under such circumstances, could General Manchu want to kill Duke Cao?"
Man Chong hesitated and said: "It's not that I don't want to send troops, but the emperor has already spread the secret edict, and Ma Teng and others in Xiliang have secret edicts. Duke Cao has been afraid of this person for a long time. When the army set out,
There were warnings.”
The warlords of Xiliang have 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and they have joined forces with the Qiang people. They have a large number of people, and they have been at the border for a long time. They cannot be underestimated. What Man Chong said makes sense. It is said that Ma Teng also received a secret edict. If
Cao Cao is in Jingzhou on one side and Hebei on the other. If the Xiliang army and horses knock at the pass and enter, all the land in Guanzhong will fall into the hands of the Xiliang warlords. Cao Cao's location is the place of the Four Wars, and every movement will affect it.
human heart.
Xun You said: "This is no problem. The general can go to Hebei while I go to see the emperor and ask him to issue an order for Ma Teng to enter the capital. If Ma Teng enters the capital, the Xiliang warlords will not dare to act rashly."
Man Chong is still hesitant.
Hua Yun had shouted: "Bo Ning, if you don't make a decision, you will miss a big deal."
Man Chong had no choice but to say: "Please Mr. Xun go see the Emperor first."
Xun You had no choice but to nod, stood up, and said, "I'll go right away."
After Xun You met the emperor, Man Chong cheered up and ordered the troops and horses stationed in various counties to gather in Hanoi and prepare to enter Hebei.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
But he said that Xiliang has now completely fallen into the hands of Ma Teng and Han Sui. They allied with the Qiang people and made good friends with Zhang Lu and others. There was no war for a while. Ma Teng received the emperor's secret edict, and he suddenly bared his teeth and cracked his eyes.
He said to Han Sui: "You and I are brothers. Now that I am being held hostage by Cao Cao's thieves, should I follow Yuan Benchu's example and raise the princes outside the Pass to attack Dong Zhuo?"
Ma Teng is said to be a descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo of the Han Dynasty. His father once served as a captain of Tianshui Langan, but later lost his official position and stayed in Longxi. He married a Qiang girl and gave birth to Ma Teng. Ma Teng was poor and had no property when he was young.
He often cut wood from Zhangshan Mountain and carried it to the city to sell it to support himself. Ma Teng was more than eight feet tall, with a tall body, a majestic face and nose, and a virtuous character. People admired him.
At that time, Geng, the governor of Liangzhou, disdained treacherous officials, which led to the rebellion of Didao Kingdom and ethnic minorities such as Di and Qiang. The state and county recruited warriors to defeat the rebellion. Ma Teng applied for the army and was valued by state and county officials. He was appointed as a military officer and commanded the troops.
, after meritorious service in the battle, he was promoted to Army Sima. Soon, Geng Bi was killed by his subordinates, and Ma Teng joined Han Sui and others to jointly elect the kingdom as the commander-in-chief. They caused rebellion in Sanfu.
The kingdom was defeated by the army sent by the imperial court. Ma Teng, Han Sui and others abolished the kingdom and kidnapped Yan Zhong as its commander. Soon Yan Zhong died of illness, and Ma Teng, Han Sui and others fought for power with each other, and their power weakened.
When Dong Zhuo first entered the capital, he wooed Ma Teng and Han Sui and asked them to send troops to the capital together. In this year, Ma Teng and Han Sui arrived in Chang'an. Dong Zhuo was dead, and Li Jue and others took power, so they worshiped Han Sui as the general of Zhenxi.
, was sent back to Jincheng, Ma Teng was appointed as the general of the Western Conquest, and was stationed in Yi. Ma Teng asked Li Jue for personal matters, but was not answered, so he led his troops to attack. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to persuade, but failed, and then Han stationed in Jincheng.
Then he led his troops to persuade him, and then joined forces with Ma Teng to attack Li Jue. The court officials Zhong Shao, Ma Yu, and Liu Fan wanted to kill Li Jue and others, so they secretly contacted Ma Teng and were willing to be the inside. If the matter was exposed, they fled.
When they arrived at Huaili, Li Jue sent Fan Chou, Guo Si and his nephew Li Li to attack. Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated and retreated to Liangzhou. Li Jue's troops attacked Huaili again, and Zhong Shao and others were killed. Soon, Li Jue
Jue and others made peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and appointed Ma Teng as General Andi and Han Sui as General Anjiang...
Ma Teng reported that the army was insufficiently supplied and requested to go to Chiyang, so he led his army to camp in Ping'antou. General Wang Cheng was afraid that Ma Teng was plotting against him, so he led his troops to sneak attack. Ma Teng was unprepared and was defeated westward. Soon he was defeated.
, Li Jue and Guo Si attacked each other, and the three auxiliaries were in turmoil. Ma Teng gave up his plan to go eastward and joined forces with Han Sui, becoming brothers with different surnames.
After that, Guanzhong was still divided by more than a dozen warlords, among which Ma Teng and Han Sui were the strongest. So Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's suggestion and sent Zhong Yao to act as the lieutenant of Sili to supervise the troops in Guanzhong.
After Zhong Yao arrived in Chang'an, he wrote to Ma Teng and Han Sui, stating their interests. Then Ma Teng and Han Sui were willing to surrender and each sent their sons as hostages.
Originally, Ma Teng and Han Sui were at peace with Cao Cao. In fact, Ma Teng was not really loyal. Although he claimed to be loyal to the emperor, he always had the ambition to lead his army into the pass. Therefore, having a secret edict at this time was tantamount to too much.
An excuse.
But Han Sui was different. Han Sui was named Wenyue, a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou. He was born in the last year of Liu Bao, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty. In his youth, he and Bianzhang, a fellow county man, were both famous in Xiliang. Before starting the army, he worked for Jincheng County.
In the seventh year of He Dynasty, he was advised to go to the capital to persuade He Jin to punish the eunuchs. However, He Jin refused to follow the plan, fearing that he would be harmed by the eunuchs, so he had no choice but to return to the county.
In November of that year, the imperial court recruited elite troops from all over the world, including the main force drawn from Liangzhou, to fight against the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains. At the same time, the Liangzhou ethnic minority, who had been exploited and enslaved for a long time, the lower-class local military officials and the upper-class ruling class had been fighting for more than a hundred years.
The conflicts that followed finally broke out in the chaos in the east. The Yi Conghu in Huangzhong raised troops in Jincheng under the leadership of leaders Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Song Yang and others, and contacted the people in the north who had been oppressed and killed by the Han Dynasty for a long time.
The Xianling Qiang people, Song Jian from Longxi, and others were the bandits at Heguan. The rebels attacked and killed Ling Zheng, the representative figure of the Qiang suppressor, and captured Bian Zhang. Han Sui pushed them to take charge of military affairs.
The Xiliang army quickly grew in strength after gaining support from local Han lower-level military officials, and began to attack Yunwu, the governor of Jincheng County. Gaixun, the governor of Hanyang, persuaded the governor of Liangzhou to send troops to rescue Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng who was trapped in the isolated city. However, Zuo Chang refused and asked Gaixun to lead the army.
Xiaobu went out to camp in Ayang to resist the Qiang people in the north and defended Jicheng. The Xiliang army broke through Jincheng, killed Chen Yi, marched eastward from Longxi Road, "burned and killed the prefectures and counties", and surrounded Jicheng.
City, Gai Xun led his troops to the south to rescue, and Bian Han rescued the siege.
When Zuo Chang was found guilty of embezzlement, the imperial court sent Song Xiao, a corrupt scholar from Fufeng, as the governor. He proposed a ridiculous civil policy policy. Despite Gai Xun's objections, he reported it to the court for approval, but he was recruited again. Luoyang also sent Yang Yong as the governor, but still
Unable to change the situation, the Qiang cavalry fighting in coordination with the Xiliang army surrounded and killed Xia Yu, the great executioner who succeeded the Qiang captain at the livestock officer, and defeated Gai Xun's reinforcements and his fish formation at Hupan.
In March of the second year of Zhongping, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops invaded Guanzhong from Liangzhou, and quickly forced their way into the Western Han Dynasty mausoleums in northern Weibo, threatening Chang'an. Han Sui launched the slogan of killing the eunuchs and clearing the emperor.
General Huangfu Song of the Left Cavalry led the Zhonglang General Dong Zhuo and others to send troops to attack, but the Han army spent a lot of money but failed to win in consecutive battles. In addition, Huangfu Song had some troubles with Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others, so he was dismissed from his post in the autumn of that year.
The military power of the Liang army was greatly shaken. At that time, Situ Cui Lie even suggested that Liangzhou should be abandoned, but Fu Xieli, a native of the north, dissuaded him.
The imperial court appointed Sikong Zhang Wen as the general of chariots and cavalry. He succeeded Huangfu Song during the holiday. He appointed Jinwu Yuan Pang as his deputy, appointed Dong Zhuo as the general who broke the bandits, and Zhou Shen as the general who broke the bandits. "There are more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers from all the counties."
"Left out of Meiyang. However, the Xiliang army was unstoppable. They joined forces in the north of Meiyangting and defeated more than a thousand cavalry of Sima Shenjun Sun Jian of another army. They killed him so much that he lost his seal and ribbon and almost died. The Han army failed in the first battle and could only
retreat.
One night in November, a stone fell in the Xiliang military camp. The donkeys and horses in the camp were frightened and screamed. The superstitious Xiliang people felt that the omen was ominous and planned to return to their hometown in Jincheng. However, they were killed by the treacherous Dong Zhuo.
According to the investigation, early the next morning, he joined forces with You Fufeng, Bao Hong and others to pursue them. The frightened Xiliang army lost all fighting spirit and was beheaded by thousands of people. They were defeated all the way and retreated to Yuzhong and Jincheng. Zhang Wen sent Zhou Shen to lead the army.
Thirty thousand people pursued the pursuit, and Dong Zhuo led 30,000 people to attack the Xianling Qiang...
Zhou Shen's army surrounded Jincheng. Sun Jian thought that there was no food in the city and needed to be brought in from outside the city. He asked himself to lead ten thousand people to cut off the Xiliang army's food route. Zhou Shen led another twenty thousand people to resist. "The thieves will be tired and dare not fight."
, if he goes into the Qiang and fights with Dong Zhuo's tribe, Liangzhou can be conquered." Zhou Shen refused to listen and led his army to attack Jincheng. He destroyed the outer wall of the city wall and was very proud. He passed the victory to Zhang Wen and thought that Jincheng could be easily obtained.
At this time, Han Sui went against the grain and attacked Zhou Shen's back road. He cut off the Kuiyuan narrow road and cut off the Han army's food route. The Han army was morally confused and unable to fight anymore, so Zhou Shen had to abandon his chariot and return to the enemy's army.
Withdrawing eastward, the Xiliang army pursued and won a great victory. At that time, Dong Zhuo's troops were also surrounded by Qiang and Hu troops in the north of Wangyuan, cutting off the food route. They retreated by using a stratagem of concealing the truth and crossing the sea, and were promoted as a result.
After entering Sanfu, Bianzhang, Han Sui was defeated by Meiyang. Because the main force of Zhang Wen's Han army was still in Guanzhong, they did not dare to act rashly. They just mobilized the masses in the base area, accumulated strength, and waited for the opportunity.
In February of the third year of Zhongping, Zhang Wen was promoted to Taiwei for his merits in "driving out thieves", and still led the army to station in Chang'an. Zhao Zhong, the constant servant of Zhongping, was appointed as the general of chariots and cavalry, and the famous scholar Fu Xie was appointed as the prefect of Hanyang to replace Fan Jin.
The defense of Hanyang County. At that time, the governor of Liangzhou was replaced by Geng Bi. Geng Bi was fond of favoring villains and placed great emphasis on Cheng Qiu, who was responsible for governing the country. Cheng was also a big corrupt criminal, and everyone from top to bottom hated him very much.
The bane of mutiny.
In the winter of this year, there was a conflict between the leading rebels in the Xiliang army and Han Sui, who had usurped actual military control. In this internal conflict, Han Sui got rid of stumbling blocks such as Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou.
At this time, his troops grew to more than 100,000 people. In February of the fourth year of Zhongping, the emperor's inner palace in the south palace fell into disrepair, and timber, aragonite and stone from Longxi and other counties were requisitioned. Cheng Qiu and his men had a good excuse to make accounts, which aroused
Greater public outrage. Han Sui's army took the opportunity to encircle Longxi County, prompting Li Xiangru, the governor of Longxi who was already dissatisfied with Geng Bi and others, to rebel against the Han Dynasty and join the ranks of the Xiliang army. The powerful kingdom of Hanyang also called itself "General He Zhong" at this time.
, raised troops to join forces with Han Sui.
Without the support of the central army, Geng Bi led the temporarily recruited troops from Hanyang and other six counties to rashly send troops to the west. Fu Xie believed that pushing the enemy too hard would cause the Xiliang army to work together, and there would be discord within the army and disunity.
Stable and low in combat effectiveness, it is better to wait for changes. Geng Bi, who was so happy about his success, refused to listen and insisted on marching westward. He defeated the kingdom's troops on the way [Note 4] and arrived near Didao in April. Under the instigation of Han Sui and others,
, Liangzhou Biejia responded to the call and rebelled, killing Cheng Qiu and Geng Bi.
After the death of his lord, Ma Teng had no choice but to give up his idea of being promoted from the official path. He also led his tribe to rebel against the imperial court. Each tribe was called the Thirty-six Tribes, elected the king as the boss, and started a new Eastern Campaign. At this time, the Tianshui people Liang Shuang mobilized an army to attack Xicheng. All armies entered Hanyang and surrounded Hanyang. Hebei County was depleted of food and soldiers. The Northland Hu people in the Xiliang coalition wanted to give Fu Xie a way out. The kingdom also sent Huang Yan, the former governor of Jiuquan, to persuade him to surrender. , agreed to let Fu Xie be the leader, but Fu Xie refused to comply. After making arrangements, he left the city and died in battle. The court dismissed Zhang Wen because he failed to send troops in time, resulting in Geng Bi's defeat.
In the fifth year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans in Yizhou in the southwest revolted, and then the Bandun barbarians in Bajun rebelled again; the Qingxu Yellow Turbans in the East revolted; the exiled Shanyu Yuluo of the southern Xiongnu in Bingzhou and the Baibo army jointly attacked Hedong County; Zhang Chun and Ru in Youzhou The Yellow Turbans in Nangepi have not yet been calmed down, and signs of chaos quietly appeared in the world. Emperor Ling was forced to abandon the construction of the market in Xiyuan and hold a military parade in Pingguang. In November, Wang Guo, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others led The Xiliang army once again invaded Sanfu and surrounded the military fortress Chencang City. The imperial court appointed Huangfu Song, who was idle, as the general of the left. Dong Zhuo, the former general in charge, each led 20,000 troops to help the west. Dong Zhuo believed that troops must be quick and fast, while Huangfu Song wanted to wait for work in leisure. , talked about the theory of nine heavens and nine earths, and stood still, but the Xiliang army was helpless against the small town of Chencang. It could not evacuate for more than eighty days from winter to spring, and the soldiers were exhausted, so they had to withdraw from the siege in February of the sixth year of Zhongping and return to the west. Dong Zhuo believed that we should not pursue the enemy when we were poor, but Huangfu Song believed that this was a good opportunity to defeat the enemy with sharp force, so he led his troops to pursue them. "We defeated them in consecutive battles and beheaded more than ten thousand people." The Xiliang army was defeated, and another eastern expedition ended in failure... .
After the defeat, they were held responsible. Han Sui and others abolished the kingdom. In order to maintain the unified action of the coalition forces, they kidnapped Yan Zhong, a Hanyang native who had fled to his hometown, as the leader of the thirty-six tribes. However, Yan Zhong died of illness soon. The Xiliang generals In order to compete for the leadership of the coalition forces and the interests of their respective small groups, another internal strife occurred. This time no one was able to defeat the other. The tribes gradually dispersed and could not form a joint force for a while. Han Sui and others had to wait in Liangzhou for another An opportunity came to go eastward.
The Battle of Chencang was the last time the regular army of the Han Empire loyal to the central court with the emperor as its core appeared on the historical stage. One month later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died. Five months later, a palace coup occurred. Dong Zhuo entered the capital, followed by the deposed emperor and the burning of the capital. , the Kwantung Rebellion and a series of major events, the four-hundred-year-old Han Taoism is finally coming to an end, and a vigorous historical era has begun.
In the first month of spring of the first year of Chuping, an alliance led by Yuan Shao was established to fight against Dong. Shandong prefectures and counties joined forces to move westward, and Dong Zhuo was forced to move his capital to Chang'an. In order to eliminate worries and avoid fighting on two fronts, Dong Zhuo appealed to Han Sui and Ma Teng, his old enemies for many years. Han Sui, Ma Teng and others were half-suspicious and half-joyed, and cautiously left Liangzhou eastward and arrived at Longdong.
In April of the second year of Chuping, after the defeat in the Battle of Yangren City, Dong Zhuo went west to Chang'an and began to build Xiwu. In order to establish his authority in front of the heretical ministers, at the welcome banquet in Xiwu, the Xiwu who had been lured to surrender in advance were Hundreds of soldiers from the Hu tribe in the northern region of the Liang army were executed with various cruel methods. After hearing about this, the Han horses were even more frightened, so they stationed at Qian, blocking Longban and stopped moving forward.
In the spring and first month of the third year of Chuping, a general amnesty was granted to the world as usual. Dong Zhuo once again showed his kindness to Han Ma and others. Han Sui and Ma Teng saw that the heroes of Guandong were fighting against each other, and they no longer had the ambition to fight Dong together. After weighing it again and again, they finally led the army to the east. , accepted the recruitment. Dong Zhuo took Sui as the general to conquer the west and sent his troops to return to their hometown in Jincheng, Liangzhou, which was regarded as officially recognizing their status in Xiliang; he made Ma Teng the general to conquer the west, stationed in Xidi, and handed over the rear area to They expressed full trust in them, and Ma Teng and others did not live up to Grand Master Dong's high expectations. They counterattacked in the west and brutally suppressed the Qiang and Di ethnic minority troops who had given them great help in the past. This relieved Grand Master Dong's worries and established a good foundation for them. In addition, Ma Teng's brave general Pang De was promoted to captain for his merit.
On April 23 of this year, Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others from Chang'an launched a coup and killed Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min, nephew Dong Huang and other family members fled into the newly built Xiwu and garrisoned it. The troops responded to Wang Yun and killed them. After the edict was issued, Ma Teng was appointed as the general to conquer the east, and Huangfu Song was appointed as the general to conquer the west. After Dong Zhuo died, Li Jue, Guo Si and others who attacked Zhu Jun in the east killed all the soldiers in the army. The people of Bingzhou vented their anger, and the people spread rumors that the imperial court in Chang'an was going to kill all the people of Liangzhou. Ma Teng was suspicious and fearful, so he gathered troops to defend himself in Xidi, and refused to obey Wang Yun's orders.
On the first day of the sixth lunar month, Lu Bu was defeated in Chang'an, and Li Jue, Guo Si and others took power and recruited the Xiliang army. Ma Teng's troops used Liangzhou's insufficient military rations and requested to move to Chiyang and move to the Changpingguan area on the bank of the Jingshui River.
In the first year of Xingping, Ma Teng was angry because he asked Li Jue and others for personal favors but did not get anything. At this time, Zhong Shao, who was born in the Guandong gentry in Chang'an City, died in Li Guo's attack on Chang'an because his father Zhong Fu died. He had long been dissatisfied with Li Guo and others. Ma Yu, the servant of Yizhou, Liu Fan, the son of Zuo Zhonglang, the son of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Du Xun, the Zhonglang general, and others conspired. Liu Fan took the opportunity to go to Ma Teng to incite rebellion against Ma Teng, and asked Liu Yan to send troops to attack Chang'an to kill him. Li Guo and Ma Teng then crossed from the south of the Weishui River to the Baqiao east of Chang'an and launched an attack on Chang'an. The two sides fought continuously and could not decide. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to reconcile, but Ma Teng refused. When Han Sui heard about it, he quickly led Bingdong came down to talk to Teng and Jue. At this time, the plot of Liu Fan and others was leaked. Ma Yu, Zhong Shao and others fled to Huaili and met up with the reinforcements sent by Liu Yan, Lieutenant Sun Zhaobu. After Han Sui learned the truth, he immediately changed Taking a neutral stance, he joined forces with Ma Teng, and the two armies met at the foot of Changping Temple. In March, Li Jue sent Guo Si, Fan Chou and his nephew Li Li to attack with a large army. In order to preserve the strength of the Li family's army, Li Li did not go out. He tried his best, but was scolded by Fan Chong, and he held a grudge from then on [Note 6]. At this time, the Xiliang Army camp was attacked by Wang Chengbu, who was stationed nearby and had been eyeing it for a long time. Li Guo's army took the opportunity to join forces and defeated the Xiliang Army, beheading more than 10,000 people. level. Then he pursued the victory and attacked Huaili City in the west, killing Liu Fan, Ma Yu, Zhong Shao, Sun Zhao and others who were staying on the defensive, and imprisoned and executed Liu Fan's younger brother, the Censor Liu Dan, who was staying in Chang'an. ….
The remnants of the Xiliang army fled to the west, and Fan Chou, Li Li and others chased them all the way to the border of Chencang. Han Sui was forced to have no choice but to ask the soldiers to retreat in front of the battle line, and established an old friendship with Fan Chou: "The world will change over and over again, and it is unknown. We have no choice. The dispute is not a personal grudge, it is a matter of the Wang family. Even though we have a small disagreement with the people in the prefecture, we should treat each other as the same, and if we want to see each other, we can say goodbye." He also threatened: "If the encounter does not go as expected, can we see each other again in the future? " Fan Chou was convinced. The two enemies met each other and laughed for a long time before returning. Fan Chou stopped chasing and led the army back east. This situation was clearly seen by Li Li who was supervising the army behind, so he went back He complained in front of his uncle, which led to the subsequent struggle for power among the generals. Since Li Jue had lost his chance to fight and was unable to do anything to the remaining Xiliang army, he issued a pardon and ordered Ma Teng to be appointed General Andi the following month. , Han Sui surrendered the generals for An, and let them fend for themselves in Liangzhou.
Since the four counties of Duhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Wuwei in Hexi were far from Hebei County, which was governed by Liangzhou Prefecture at that time, their contact with the imperial court had been cut off by river bandits for a long time. Therefore, in June of the first year of Xingping, the imperial court issued an edict to separate Yongzhou from its territory.
, a Handan merchant from Chenliu was appointed as the governor of Yongzhou to manage it, and Zhang Meng, the third son of the late famous Liangzhou general Zhang Huan, was appointed as the prefect of Wuwei. The two met in the same year and were just thirty years old. They usually liked it when they were officials in the court.
They exposed each other's shortcomings and started fighting with each other on the way to their assignments, thus sowing the seeds of future disaster.
In the second year of Xingping, Li Guo went to war, and Sanfu was in chaos. The imperial capital Chang'an was empty for more than forty days, and the refugees fled to other places. More people ate each other in the two years, and the "white bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles away" truly appeared.
The tragic scene of cockcrow.
In July, Emperor Xian fled to Hedong. After several narrow escapes, he finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao in August of the first year of Jian'an. The forces of Li Jue and Guo Si were fighting with each other, and the population dropped sharply. The tribes rebelled and there was a great famine.
It shrank significantly under the attack. In this year, Guo Si was killed by his general Wu Xi in Xidi, while Cheng Yin from Hedong, Candidate, Li Kan, Liang Xing from Yixiao and Zuo Feng, Liu Xiongming from Lantian in Jingzhao and other supporters
Thousands of families became self-reliant, and Guanzhong became the domain of the local emperors.
After the two brothers Han Sui and Ma Teng returned to Liangzhou, they became brothers of different surnames based on the deep class friendship generated while fighting side by side. They were extremely close at the beginning, but soon they began to invade each other due to their respective tribes.
The fight caused discord and even became enemies. In the first year of Jian'an, Ma Teng took the lead in attacking Han Sui. Han Sui refused to suffer. After returning to the camp, he organized a large army to counterattack and killed Ma Teng's wife and son. Now they all became famous.
Eyes, the situation of the army was uncertain. His young general Yan Xing was fighting against Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, who was known as a strong general. Yan Xing stabbed Ma Chao with his spear. Unexpectedly, he used too much force, and the spear handle was probably a fake product, so it broke suddenly.
He simply used the remaining half of the spear handle in his hand to hit Ma Chao on the head and neck, almost killing Ma Chao.
After a power vacuum appeared in Guanzhong, Han Sui and Ma Teng chased each other eastward and returned to the place where the two had fought together. However, at this time, the two had become the biggest enemy of killing his wife and continued to fight with powerful soldiers.
In the second year of Jian'an, the conflict between Yuan and Cao gradually intensified. Cao Cao had begun to make preparations to deal with Yuan Shao, but he was very worried about the chaotic situation in Guanxi, so he asked Xun Yu for advice.
Among them, only Han Sui and Ma Teng were the strongest. When they saw the struggle in the east of Shandong, they would support each other to protect themselves. Now if you show kindness and send envoys to make peace, even if the stalemate cannot last long, it will be enough to stabilize Shandong than Gong An.
"Zhong Yao can be involved in the affairs of the west, so the Duke has no worries." Cao Cao listened to his words. So he asked Zhong Yao to serve as the sergeant in charge of the Sili Xiaowei, to supervise the troops in Guanzhong, and entrusted him with the affairs of Guanxi, especially in Guanxi.
Orders can be made expeditiously, and special matters can be handled on a special basis, without being bound by the system.
From then on, Ma Teng and Han Sui became the local emperors of Liangzhou, and their relationship gradually became closer because of their interests. However, Ma Teng proposed to enter the customs, but Han Sui did not take it seriously. His interests lay in Xiliang.
He was not willing to go to the Central Plains with Ma Teng to stir up the troubled waters.
