I just picked one)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Between you and me, why talk about admiration?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi and Xu Rong could now be called old acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhen, the number two figure of the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction, was promoted to a miscellaneous general, and Gu Yi contributed a lot to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To thank Gu Yi, Xu Rong sent Gu Yi a large carriage of gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when Xu Rong set out for Fufeng, Gu Yi arranged for Zhang He and Zhao Yun to be his deputy generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After going back and forth, the friendship between the two also solidified quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with this time, Gu Yi led three thousand Flying Bear Army soldiers to lift the siege of Fufeng,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>making Xu Rong completely admire Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Linzhi, hurry and follow me into the city to rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After a fierce battle all night, if you are exhausted, I fear the Prime Minister won't spare me when we go back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rong joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi smiled and did not refuse Xu Rong’s kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not a martial artist, but he had just followed the Flying Bear Army back and forth on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had Huang Zhong and Ma Yunlu accompanying him, he was indeed quite tired at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi took his little brothers behind him and followed Xu Rong into Fufeng City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gu Yi woke up again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>time had passed from early morning to afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Han Sui died and the siege of Fufeng City disappeared, the predicament of running out of grain in the city was also resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating a little something,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi arrived at the council chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Xu Rong’s insistence, Gu Yi sat in the main seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>except for Ma Chao, whose heart had suffered severe trauma,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rong, Ma Teng, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Zhang Xiu, Huang Zhong, Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing, and others were all sitting in the council chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning everyone with his gaze,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Sui is dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe this is the perfect time to pacify Liangzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you all think about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone’s gaze couldn't help but look toward Ma Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that everyone present, except for Ma Teng, were people of the Dong Zhuo army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Ma Teng, although nominally recognizing Dong Zhuo and the Han court as his big brother, was actually still an independent force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Teng was also a smart person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not know at this moment that Gu Yi’s words were directed at him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled bitterly and responded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe Sir is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unifying Liangzhou is the trend of the times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Sui acted against Heaven and brought about his own destruction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I am willing to follow the Prime Minister’s footsteps and become a pawn in promoting the unification of Liangzhou!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ma Teng’s pledge of loyalty,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi nodded with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the plan he formulated for Old Dong, Liangzhou was an important part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at Liangzhou as cold and bitter, but this is the home of the Xiliang loyalists under Old Dong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Liangzhou has been an excellent place for producing excellent soldiers since ancient times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it also has a significant number of horse farms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by firmly occupying Liangzhou can one ensure retreat and advance, and have a stable rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from today on, Liangzhou is not allowed to have any separatist forces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, there can only be one voice: the Dong Zhuo army!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any other voice appearing\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>will be regarded as a provocation to the Dong Zhuo army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Teng being able to adapt to the situation and obediently hand over his separatist power would naturally be set up as a benchmark and become an example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, Ma Dai, and others\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would also be reorganized into the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absorbed as generals of the Dong Zhuo army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After solving Ma Teng’s separatist problem,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi cast his gaze on Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying, you two are familiar with the situation in Han Sui’s territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that Han Sui is dead, would the garrison of Tianshui Commandery be willing to surrender the city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing, who were named, looked at each other, and Yan Xing stood out and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are about ten thousand garrison troops left in Tianshui Commandery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people were originally the elites under Han Sui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if they hear the news that Han Sui is dead, I believe they will be willing to submit to our army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am incompetent, but I am willing to go into the city to persuade them to surrender.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Yan Xing’s request, Gu Yi smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yan Xing, your idea is not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the surrendered troops will be handed over to you for half, and to Cheng Gongying for half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understand what I mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Under... understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xing was actually very uneasy in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was afraid that Gu Yi would take the opportunity to strip him of all his military power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, only handing over half to Cheng Gongying was still within Yan Xing’s acceptable range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Cheng Gongying, compared to Yan Xing, was much more surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Gongying hadn't expected that he could also obtain military power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally under Han Sui’s command, Cheng Gongying was just a strategist and did not hold military power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matters of commanding troops were handed over to Yan Xing and other generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Gu Yi divided Han Sui’s old subordinates into two and handed half of them to Cheng Gongying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This clearly meant he was giving Cheng Gongying power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>facing Gu Yi’s smiling gaze, Cheng Gongying realized the deep meaning of this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying were both Han Sui’s old subordinates, and both were people who betrayed their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it cannot be denied that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>both were important figures with high prestige in Han Sui’s army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fastest way to gather Han Sui’s old subordinates was to hand these old subordinates to Yan Xing or Cheng Gongying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it were only handed to one of them, it would be hard to avoid them holding troops and becoming a second Han Sui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it were divided into two,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xing holds half,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Gongying holds the other half,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two would become competitors, thus being checked and balanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the person checking and balancing them was Gu Yi himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is truly unfathomable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Gongying admired Gu Yi from the bottom of his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, some petty thoughts he shouldn't have had also dissipated at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi’s strategy and speculation of human hearts were far above his own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he, Cheng Gongying, still harbored rebellious intentions, wouldn't that be seeking his own death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yan Xing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>although his reaction speed was a beat slower than Cheng Gongying’s,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he soon realized the deep meaning of Gu Yi’s move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Yan Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, following Han Sui to struggle on this little patch of Liangzhou was ultimately too much like a frog in a well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi used only such a small trick to easily solve the military power problem left by Han Sui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It truly made Yan Xing feel fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After solving Han Sui’s problem,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi intended to rendezvous with Li Jue, Guo Si, Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he would persuade the Liangzhou warlords to surrender one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who adapted to the situation and chose to surrender voluntarily could be promoted after returning to Chang'an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who resisted stubbornly and refused to surrender would all be executed in public after the city was broken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the news of Gu Yi defeating Han Sui and the Qiang and Di tribes swept through the entire Liangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those Liangzhou warlords who returned to their respective territories all felt cold in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Liangzhou warlords’ troops had not suffered losses at this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but... facing the mighty army under Gu Yi, who would dare to harbor rebellious intentions again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the vast majority of Liangzhou warlords sent envoys to swear surrender to Gu Yi before Gu Yi led his troops to their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gu Yi arrived, even if they had ten thousand reluctances, they could only hand over their military power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only exception was the warlord Cheng Yin, who occupied Nan'an Commandery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yin’s original strength, although not comparable to Han Sui and Ma Teng,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could barely rank third among the many Liangzhou warlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was quite reluctant to part with the military power in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, instigated by his officials, Cheng Yin chose to resist stubbornly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a pity that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after only persisting for two days, Nan'an City was broken by Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yin himself was killed by his own \"Nan'an Attendant\" Pang De!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, it was exactly Pang De, who historically should have served under Ma Teng and Ma Chao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In original history,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang De roughly resigned from Cheng Yin’s command in the third year of Chuping, which was 192 AD, and went to Fufeng to join Ma Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the timeline has come to the second year of Chuping (191 AD).\u003C\u002Fp>",1559,"2026-06-16T10:17:20.643Z","2026-06-16T10:29:10.858Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
