The conflict between Ma Chao and Zhang Yan can be traced back to when they first entered the Western Regions.
After entering the Western Regions from Yumen Pass, Fazheng and Ma Chao did not go directly to Qiuci.
Instead, he immediately led his army straight to the head of the sea where the Chang Shi's Mansion of the Western Regions was located.
No matter how much you know from books and information, you will definitely not be able to compare with the long history Zhang Yan who has been in the Western Regions for decades.
If we can get Zhang Yan's help, it will definitely be of great help to this trip to the Western Regions.
But things were far from going as smoothly as Fazheng and Ma Chao expected.
After leading the army to Haitou, instead of receiving help from Zhang Yan, they were turned away from the city.
Even when Fazheng stated that Qin Gong Liu Zhang wanted to reopen the Silk Road and deepen exchanges and cooperation with the Western Regions, he still did not get support from Zhang Yan.
On the contrary, Zhang Yan also insulted Liu Zhang when he ignored the court's laws and interfered in the Western Regions privately.
According to Zhang Yan, who does Liu Zhang count?
He was personally appointed by Emperor Ling, and he alone has the final say in the entire Western Region!
The conversation collapsed at the beginning, and the subsequent results can be imagined.
It must be an unhappy ending!
Ma Chao was furious and immediately wanted to lead his army to attack Haitou.
Finally, with Fa Zheng's persuasion, the conflict was stopped.
Not enough words to speculate.
Since there was nothing to talk about, Fazheng did not stay here longer.
He directly led his troops to leave and continued deep into the Western Regions.
As a result, Kucha's army was vulnerable and was defeated by Fa Zheng in the first battle. Ma Chao and Ma Chao were defeated.
After Zhang Yan heard the news, he almost died of anger.
Later, I learned that Fazheng and Fazheng were besieged and forced to flee to the desert before they fully recovered.
But within two days of being happy, the bad news came.
The pace of the four-nation coalition did not stop at annihilating Fazheng and Ma Chao. Instead, they gathered more troops and rushed to the sea.
Zhang Yan had no intention of resisting and led more than a thousand soldiers under his command to reach Gaochangbi in one breath.
Relying on the remaining power of the Western Region Chang Shi Mansion and Xiao Zhi's powerful relationship.
Only then did he persuade six chariot divisions to gather 20,000 people to help Zhang Yan resist the enemy.
Zhang Yan often boasted that he had won the hearts of the people in the Western Regions, which attracted the Che Master to come to help.
In fact, everyone knows about the rift between the Sixth Division of Che Division and Wusun.
After killing Zhang Yan, the next unlucky person must be the driver.
Therefore, with or without Zhang Yan, Gaochangbi is the key stronghold for Che divisions to resist the Wusun army.
Thanks to the strong city, although the Four Nations Allied Forces had many soldiers and horses, they were unable to do anything.
Only then can the stalemate persist until today.
Zhang Yan originally thought that the Liangzhou Governor's Office had sent a large army into the Western Regions, and he was ready to cooperate in order to explain to the Liangzhou Governor's Office.
But he never expected that Fazheng and Ma Chao, who were forced into the desert, survived and came back with heavy troops.
This is great, I couldn’t help but I even took the initiative to deliver it to my door!
At the moment, Zhang Yan is being held by Ma Chao with a gun against his neck. This is purely his own fault.
However, although Zhang Yan was afraid, he was not afraid to the point of being completely panicked.
After all, the Changshi of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion is the highest official of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions!
The level is not high, but the power is the same as that of a state governor.
Who is Ma Chao?
He was just a general under Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang.
Zhang Yan didn't believe it. A small general dared to kill a big official in the border area.
"Ma Chao, I am warning you! I was personally appointed by the late emperor!"
"If you kill me, not even you, even Liu Zhang will not be able to escape the crime!"
Ma Chao looked at Zhang Yan like a fool.
What is ignorance?
Today, Zhang Yan used practical actions to give a perfect interpretation for Ma Chao.
"Zhang Changshi has such great official authority!"
Zhang Yan thought Ma Chao was afraid, so he immediately raised his head high.
"Hmph, if you don't want to implicate your family, kneel down and kowtow to me, Chief Shi, immediately to admit your mistake!"
"Otherwise, I, Chang Shi, will definitely give a performance to His Majesty, and no one will be able to save you by then!"
If Ma Chao had not experienced a series of rebellions in the Han Dynasty and knew the internal situation of the Han Dynasty, he would have been blinded by Zhang Yan's inexplicable self-confidence.
"Zhang Changshi, do you know how many years Liu Hong has been dead?"
"Bold! How dare you call the late emperor by his name!"
Zhang Yan shouted loudly, a ferocious look on his wrinkled face.
Ma Chao was really angry at him and laughed. He was not in a hurry to kill him at the moment and was going to tell him about the situation of the Han Dynasty.
Wait until Zhang Yan regrets his ignorance endlessly, and then let him die in fear!
"I will tell you that Liu Hong died not long after the Yellow Turban Rebellion!"
"After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the world has long since fallen apart!"
"The Majesty you speak of is now just a puppet in the hands of the powerful minister Cao Cao!"
"As for Cao Cao, haha, he was so scared that he wet his pants when he saw Qin Gong!"
As Ma Chao expected, Zhang Yan was stunned after hearing this.
"No...impossible!"
"I heard that your Majesty has begun to recover the Han Dynasty after moving the capital to Xuchang!"
"Hahaha, stupid!"
Zhang Yan's dejected look was exactly what Ma Chao wanted to see.
"Since going to Xuchang, the Emperor has become Cao Cao's plaything!"
"Let me tell you, if Duke Qin hadn't turned the tide, the Han Dynasty would have perished long ago!"
After hearing the news, Zhang Yan's legs softened and he slumped to the ground.
With his eyes blinded, he even forgot that his neck was slashed by the gun blade.
"Impossible...impossible..."
"idiot!"
Ma Chao shouted loudly, and stepped forward with his spear again, pointing directly at Zhang Yan's eyebrows.
"You are a little long history of the Western Regions, but you are nothing in front of Duke Qin!"
"Who gave you the courage to disobey Duke Qin!"
"I..."
Zhang Yan opened his mouth, but did not dare to say a word.
Who gave it?
Naturally, it was given by Ling Emperor Liu Hong!
In Zhang Yan's heart, the big man is still the big man in Liu Hong's era.
Little did they know that the situation in the Han Dynasty had long since changed!
"Trash! Listen to me, general. Even if you are still a big man in the future, you will definitely be Qin Gong's big man!"
At this moment, the black-armored cavalry began to report to Ma Chao.
"General Qi, except for this man, no one will survive."
All of them died!
Zhang Yan completely froze on the spot, looking at Ma Chao with fear finally appearing in his eyes.
"Ma... Ma Chao... you are going on a killing spree in the Western Region, aren't you afraid of arousing the anger of these countries in the Western Region and uniting for revenge?"
"Didn't you say that Duke Qin wanted to reopen the Silk Road? If you kill like this, who would be willing to support Duke Qin's Silk Road?"
At this point, Zhang Yan can only pull the tiger's skin and make a big banner.
If you don't want to die, you must climb the big tree Liu Zhang as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Fazheng once told Liu Zhang's intentions, allowing Zhang Yan to see an opportunity.
"Then what do you mean?"
Hearing Ma Chao's question, Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ma...General Ma, after all, I have served as the chief historian of the Western Region for more than twenty years, and I still have some dignity in front of the countries in the Western Region."
"If Duke Qin wants to reopen the Silk Road, I can help!"
"As long as...as long as Duke Qin is willing to continue appointing me as the Chief Historian of the Western Regions!"
