Chapter 341

Jia Xu added,

"My lord, the people of Liangzhou and the Qiang people worship the strong. My lord is invincible and defeated Lu Bu in one move. As long as you display your martial arts in Liangzhou, the Qiang people will inevitably submit."

Liu Bei stood up tall.

"Good, it seems I will have to work hard!"

After everyone discussed, Liu Bei returned to the backyard and worked hard with Fu Shou and Lady Dong.

In Liangzhou,

Ma Teng was a bit confused.

"Lord Xuande actually thinks so highly of me, recommending me as the Inspector of Liangzhou and praising me for being brave in battle, loyal, and virtuous."

Ma Teng instantly felt he had a lot of face; that was Liu Bei, the famous Liu Huangshu who shook the nine provinces.

"Liu Bei is also coming to Longxi Commandery to drink with me and form an alliance."

Ma Chao frowned.

"Father, Liu Bei did not recommend Han Sui; I fear he has the intention of splitting our alliance."

Ma Teng waved his hand.

"No matter, I think Brother Han Sui won't mind."

He immediately said,

"Liu Bei is coming this time and will bring six thousand personal guards; you should also be prepared."

A sharp light also appeared in Ma Chao's eyes. Liu Bei shakes the nine provinces and is the number one fierce general of the Great Han.

Ma Chao is brave in battle, has a great name in Liangzhou, is known as a strong warrior, and thinks highly of himself; he naturally wants to challenge Liu Bei and become famous in one battle!

"This time I will definitely fight Liu Bei!"

He walked out of the hall, and his two younger brothers and Ma Yunlu gathered around.

Ma Xiu was a bit excited.

"Big brother, I heard Lord Xuande is coming to Longxi Commandery? That is a great hero of the Great Han!"

Ma Tie rubbed his hands even more.

"Lord Xuande is a fierce general who suppressed Lu Bu; I must get to know him."

Ma Yunlu's eyes also lit up.

"Lord Xuande is not only loyal and brave, but also handsome and extraordinary..."

Ma Chao was instantly unhappy; these younger siblings used to worship him, but now they have immediately defected?

"Is Liu Bei that good?"

In Jincheng,

Han Sui threw things in anger.

"That eared thief dares to bully me like this!"

He couldn't help but be angry; in terms of seniority and the time of rebellion, he, Han Sui, was stronger than Ma Teng, yet Liu Bei recommended Ma Teng as the Inspector of Liangzhou!

Yan Xing cupped his hands.

"My lord, Liu Bei's move is to split our alliance with Ma Teng. He controls Bingzhou and Jingzhao and now wants to plot against Liangzhou."

Han Sui naturally knew, but he was still very unhappy.

Because Ma Teng did not refuse but instead happily accepted!

Han Sui held the secret letters given to him by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

"Ma Shoucheng, you have people supporting you, and I have them too!"

In the secret letter, Yuan Shao planned to recommend Han Sui as the General of the West and the Shepherd of Liangzhou!

Cao Cao encouraged him to raise an army in Liangzhou, and he and Yuan Shao would also attack Liu Bei!

Han Sui smiled cruelly.

"Liu Bei, even if you are brave in battle, so what? How can you block my strong army on three sides!"

"Someone come, send people to invite King Midang, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, and others!"

In Xuxian,

Cao Cao frowned as he looked at the bamboo slips in front of him.

"Wenruo, Liu Bei is finally going to make a move on Liangzhou."

Xun Yu took a look.

"Liu Bei is taking six thousand troops to Longxi Commandery to form an alliance with Ma Teng?"

"My lord, last time Liu Bei recommended Ma Teng as the Inspector of Liangzhou, he had already made up his mind. Our army must not sit idly by; otherwise, Liu Bei will control Jingzhao, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou without any worries in the rear, and we will be in danger."

Cao Cao nodded.

"I have already contacted Yuan Shao to raise an army together to attack Liu Bei. While Liu Bei is in Liangzhou, we will take Bingzhou and Hedong. If Liu Bei loses Bingzhou and Hedong, even if he occupies Liangzhou, it will be useless."

"My lord is wise!"

Liu Bei took Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Xu Sheng, and others, along with six thousand elite troops, from Fufeng Commandery into Longxi Commandery.

He also sent Gao Shun, Xun You, Xu Rong, and Guan Hai to guard Hedong.

Ju Shou, Hua Mulan, and others sat in Chang'an.

Tongguan Pass was handed over to Taishi Ci to guard.

He also had Ju Yi take his own troops to guard Fufeng, ready to enter Longxi Commandery at any time.

At the same time,

Yuan Shao in Yecheng began to mobilize his troops; this time he would join Cao Cao to suppress Liu Bei!

The Great Han had been at peace for half a year and was about to start fighting again!

Liu Bei took his troops west along the Wei River, passed Mei County and Chencang, and arrived in Longxi Commandery 0......

Liu Bei looked at the fertile land along the way.

"The Guanzhong region has thousands of miles of fertile land and should have been prosperous, but it was ravaged by Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang soldiers like this; it will take several years to recover!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands.

"My lord, as long as there is no war in Guanzhong and we introduce population, it will inevitably be prosperous within a few years."

Liu Bei nodded.

"We will first resolve the rear area of Liangzhou, and then we can develop peacefully."

Just after entering Longxi Commandery,

Liu Bei received news.

Han Sui and Ma Teng had been having constant conflicts recently, and their soldiers had fought over looting things; both of them were having trouble suppressing their anger.

"It seems Bai Yuekui's work is going well; I must reward her when the time comes!"

Didao, the seat of Longxi Commandery,

The necessary route of the ancient Silk Road, its geographical location is very important, a place that military strategists must fight for!

Liu Bei raised his glass.

"Inspector Ma is truly a hero; seeing you today, I am very impressed!"

Ma Teng also laughed loudly; this was the famous Lord Xuande who shook the nine provinces.

He cupped his hands and said,

"Lord Xuande's loyalty is the best in the world, and he is brave in battle. He stabbed Dong alone, broke Dong Zhuo's great army, and rescued two million people in Yanzhou and Xuzhou. I am very impressed!"

The two praised each other a few more times and felt they had met too late!

Ma Teng was even more excited and wished he could become sworn brothers with Liu Bei!

Liu Bei hurriedly changed the subject and muddled through it.

"Father-in-law becoming a brother? You, Ma Teng, really can think of anything!"

He looked around; that one showing handsomeness, full of heroic spirit, and looking at him with some dissatisfaction, should be Ma Chao.

The other three looking at him with worship should be Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai.

Liu Bei raised his glass 5.7,
