In ancient times, there was Liangzhou, which was also called Xiliang because it was located in the west of the world.
Because Liangzhou is located in the northwest and has a fierce folk custom, it is the home of the world's elite troops. When Dong Zhuo's rebellion broke out, the Liangzhou cavalry led by him were the most elite troops in the world. It was not until wars were going on all over the country that the veterans of the Central Plains princes gradually accumulated combat experience and could be called elite soldiers.
In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou was far away from the center of Wuwei County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County, and Zhangye County. These four counties in Hexi were separated from Liangzhou and established as Yongzhou. However, there were many ethnic groups in Yongzhou and Liangzhou, and warlords were fighting. , since Dong Zhuo's death, the imperial court has never been able to actually control Liangzhou. Even Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence has never reached the central and northern parts of Liangzhou.
Liangzhou has more than ten counties under its jurisdiction. What is different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is that there has never been a Xiliang County in this world, and there is no Xiliang Prefecture. Neither Ma Teng nor Ma Chao have been Xiliang Prefectures, let alone They may have crossed over from Sili to join the crusade against Dong Zhuo. On the contrary, because Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated by Dong Zhuo, they even sent troops to support Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo died before they reached Chang'an.
Han and Ma were defeated by Li and Guo again and fled back to Liangzhou.
The three auxiliaries, including Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng, and Jingzhao Yin, are also called San Qin, which is the San Qin of "Chengque auxiliary San Qin".
After the death of Li Guo and others, the military leaders entered the third auxiliary. After more than ten years of war, the current Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and the third auxiliary of Sili were divided among ten warlords, namely Hou Xuan, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Liang Xing, Cheng Yin, and the biggest Ma Teng, Han Sui, these ten people are not subordinate to each other, but are Westerners like Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Si, and Zhang Ji. The senior Liang warlords also separated their own regimes and nominally obeyed the two military leaders Ma Teng and Han Sui.
After a series of internal struggles, Yongzhou was completely returned to Han Sui, and Yang Qiu occupied the northern part of Liangzhou. The other tribes were intertwined and divided into Liangzhou and Sanfu.
However, due to the gradual expansion of Cao Cao's power, all ministries were still nominally subordinate to the imperial court.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao promised to give Ma Teng a reward due to the war in the south and to stabilize the rear. Under Zhang Ji's persuasion, Ma Teng went to Beijing to become a guard, and Ma Chao replaced Ma Teng and garrisoned in Huaili.
With the advantage of being in Huaili, Ma Chao almost has the final say in You Fufeng among the three assistants, while Zuo Fengyi and Jing Zhaoyin regard everyone's interests as shared.
Guanzhong, Huaili Camp.
Thirty-two-year-old Ma Chao, blindfolded, suddenly drew his sword.
The five wooden figures in front of him were all chopped off by his sword.
There were cheers all around, and Pang De, the lieutenant general, laughed and said, "Meng Qi's swordsmanship has improved again!"
Ma Chao took off his blindfold and saw that the wooden man's injuries were all intact. He laughed with satisfaction and said, "Ling Minggong, yesterday I gave this sword technique a name and a technique. What do you think?"
Pang De stroked his beard and smiled, and Ma Dai said enviously: "This swordsmanship is enough to be passed down through the ages. Brother really has the talent of Lu Bu back then!"
Ma Dai is a younger brother of Ma Chao, and his martial arts skills are not bad, but he is still far behind Ma Chao, and he has always been targeting Ma Chao.
After hearing this, Ma Chao actually put his left hand on the sword's edge, which was showing cold light, and stroked it along the edge from the hilt to the end of the sword, sighing: "I hate that Lu Bu gave birth to me twenty years ago, so that I can't be with him." Confrontation!”
It was a deep regret behind the words.
Pound also looked fascinated.
Ma Dai said: "Lü Bu is dead, how many people in the world can rival my eldest brother?"
Ma Chao danced with sword flowers, put the sword back into its sheath, and said with a smile: "Cao Cao's lieutenant colonel Xu Chu is said to have extraordinary brute strength. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's account are said to be unworthy of ten thousand men, and I have been fascinated by them for a long time. The others are like Zhang Liao. , Gan Ning, and Zhao Yun, I also want to meet them for a while."
Pang De and Ma Dai deeply believed this.
After a while, Ma Chao suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that we stay here to guard the west gate of the temple, so we can't go out to fight against the princes!"
Ma Dai said: "The Qiang are capricious. If it weren't for us, these three assistants would have been overrun by barbarians. Several generations of emperors have spent tens of billions, but they can't quell the Qiang chaos. Why don't we let my uncle pacify it? If you ask me, I can only let my uncle be a leader in the temple. Uncle should not go to Jiuqing. My uncle saves tens of billions of money and food for the temple. Then Cao Mengde has no eyesight. He can't count these things. He should be given a third prince!"
Ma Chao patted the scabbard and said boldly: "Of course, my father often said that I have the qualifications of Lu Bu. He has been the Three Dukes. I resisted the Qiang and can be the Three Dukes in the future. Then our Ma family in Liangzhou is also a big family of the Three Dukes. Got it!"
The two horses laughed loudly, and Pang De stroked his beard, noncommittal.
Since the Qiang moved inland, Qiang rebellion has indeed been a serious problem for the Han Dynasty. The Qiang people occupy Liangzhou and can invade Sanfu at any time and threaten Sili, making them extremely difficult to deal with. The emperors of the three dynasties spent tens of billions of money, but they could not quell the Qiang rebellion. In contrast, they only spent less than 200 million yuan to pacify the Southern Xiongnu, and Wuhuan even spent 7,000 yuan.
After the Sanfu Rebellion launched by Ma Teng and Han Sui, the Qiang people were no longer in chaos, but Pang De knew this well. Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son had Qiang blood, and they represented the interests of the Qiang people. Now Ma Teng has become the ninth minister, and the interests of the Qiang people have been guaranteed, so why should they cause chaos?
However, Ma Teng did mediate the interests between the Qiang and Han people and calmed down many conflicts. As a minister, Pang De cannot comment on whether this is right or wrong.
The three of them were about to say something else, when suddenly a messenger came over and said, "General, Xu has a letter!"
Ma Chao's eyes lit up and he read the letter. The more he read, the more gloomy his expression became. In the end, he tore up the paper and said angrily: "Prime Minister Cao Mengde is not a son of a human being. He is so angry with me!"
"What happened? What did uncle say?"
Ma Dai was curious.
Ma Chao said: "Cao Mengde caused trouble in a dream, saying that three horses were eating Cao, and the world is afraid of people with my surname Ma!"
He looked at Ma Dai and said with a sigh: "Father, I, plus you, are not the three horses?"
Ma Chao held the sword and walked for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay. The three horses eat the cao, it's our three horses! From now on, let's eat the cao and see!"
Ma Dai was confused, picked up the torn letter, and read it with Pound. Pound frowned and said, "Do you really want to deal with this Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang? Hanoi Sima is famous, so he may not be easy to deal with!"
Ma Chao sneered and said, "Father's clever plan is to push Sima Fang, Sima Lang, and Sima Yi to the front to hide our real three horses, and then give Cao Mengde a thunderous blow. That's great!"
Ma Dai nodded and asked for orders to capture Sima Fang.
Ma Chao drew his sword and said, "I'll go!"
Soon, a group of Qingqi mounted their horses and went out, leaving Huaili and heading straight for Chang'an.
It has been more than ten years since Chang'an was destroyed at the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. However, it has not had the financial resources to renovate it for a long time, and it is still dilapidated. Even Ma Teng disliked it and did not occupy the place.
The two warlords Li Kan and Zhang Heng each occupied a corner of Chang'an. In the middle of the two forces, Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang has always been the mediator.
Sima Fang was doing military affairs at Jing Zhaoyin's residence. Suddenly, a group of light cavalry surrounded the government office. Sima Fang was immediately startled.
Li Kan and Zhang Heng followed Ma Chao and watched curiously as Sima Fang was dragged out of the government office by Ma Dai.
Sima Fang hurriedly said: "General Li and General Zhang, please save me! The city of Chang'an and the land of Jingzhao all depend on these two generals!"
Sima Hanoi was quite famous. Sima Fang knew that Jing Zhaoyin was not easy to do, but he also knew that Jing Zhaoyin was a springboard for promotion. Therefore, when he came to Chang'an, he brought a lot of money and food and gave them to Li and Zhang. At this time, he called for help. , just want the two generals to appreciate these things and save him.
When he took office in Jingzhaoyin, he reconciled the warlords, sympathized with the people, and made many political achievements. Even without credit, there was hard work. Plus money and food, he originally thought that Li and Zhang would take action. However, Li Kan snorted and said: " Sima Fang, I thought you were a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but I didn’t expect that your son colluded with the emperor to rebel!"
As soon as he said this, Sima Fang was completely confused.
Being caught inexplicably today has caused him to be in chaos, and Li Kan's words hit him like five thunderbolts.
What does the emperor's rebellion mean, and what happened to my son?
What happened to this world?
Ma Chao ignored him completely, smiled, pointed his sword at him and said: "Rebel Sima Fang, today you fall into my hands, I will dedicate you to Xudu and give my father a promotion!"
…
In the junior high school of Fujiyong, the Qiang rebelled and spent 24 billion for ten or four years. At the end of the Yonghe period, after seven years of restoration, more than eight billion were used. Even if this is spent, if not all of them are killed, the remaining evil will rise again and cause harm here.
In "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", Duan Xi, one of the Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou, wrote a letter about the Qiang rebellion.
