Langtiao County was Langmeng County in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and was renamed Langtiao County by Wang Mang.

The city is backed by Taiyuan, with deep narrow ravines on the left and right and a large ravine in the south. It is commonly known as Langma Stream and is the bridgehead of Taiyuan.

Da Qin attacked Zhao, captured Langmeng, and merged the state into Qin.

The evil spirit in Taiyuan City made Ma Long feel that danger was coming.

He was unwilling to join Wen Hu, nor to collude with Tang Zi, so he could only ask a foreigner to serve as a barrier to Taiyuan.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Shi Jian asked that no one should stand in front of him, so he gave him three thousand troops.

The effect was immediate, Liang Qi had never gone south since then, and was blocked by Ma Long.

To this end, Shi Jian wrote a letter claiming that he had effectively resisted the thieves' cavalry heading south, and that Taiyuan had been saved from danger. However, all the credit went to him, and there was not a single word about Ma Long in the letter.

Malong didn't care, and devoted himself to accepting the refugees, cultivating farmland, and training soldiers and young men. Gradually, with Lang Tiao as the core, he opened eleven farms and built six forts.

Also based on the characteristics of the many cavalrymen in Liangzhou, we made a box car according to the Eight Formation Diagram, one foot long, nine feet wide, and seven feet five inches high. The box was made of thin plates, connected to the left and right, and connected to the front and back. A heavy crossbow and spear was placed on the car.

, the land is wide, and the antlers are attached to the cart camp, and the road is narrow, wooden houses are placed on the carts, and they fight and move forward. They can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. They fight in short distances and with small forces. Liangzhou Rangers were temporarily controlled by them.

Malong gradually regained Yangqu, Fenyang and other places as Taiyuan's left and right wings.

Several times he wrote to Shi Jian to divide his troops and guard him, but Shi Jian remained motionless.

His purpose is very simple, there is no need to waste troops, he only needs to defend Taiyuan and be able to explain to Sima Zhao.

Dividing troops into Yangqu and Fenyang means taking on two more risks.

Although he achieved some small victories, Malone felt increasingly powerless.

Since Sima Zhao ordered to increase taxes, people in Hebei have fled one after another, some to Xianbei and some to Yanmen...

After absorbing Han people and Wuhuan people, Tuoba Xianbei became stronger and stronger.

And Yanmen is stronger.

"I heard that the tax in the west is only 50%, and there are no excessive miscellaneous taxes!" the subordinate whispered in Malon's ear.

Rumors have been spreading in Hebei recently.

They are all talking about Liangzhou, allocating fields, housing, and food. As long as you escape there, you won't have to worry about food and clothing.

In the past, they were far apart and the people just listened. Now that the Liang army has occupied Yanmen, it is like opening a gap to Hebei.

Taxes were levied, and news of the imminent war in Guanzhong spread wildly in Hebei. Food prices began to skyrocket, with one stone of grain rising to 3,000 yuan. Three years ago, grain was only 200 yuan per stone. After Sima Zhao conquered Huainan, the price of food once rose to

Eight hundred coins per stone.

The powerful nobles and wealthy merchants were hoarding food like crazy.

People in Hebei were in panic, and people and food were flowing westward like a tide along the gap in Yanmen.

Malong could contain the Liang army militarily, but he could not contain Liangzhou politically.

No matter how much military victory he achieves, it seems unable to change the current situation.

A general is more helpless than this.

And he doesn't want to contain it.

He became a farmer many years ago, and it has been one of the nightmares in his life to this day.

Once a person falls into this bottomless abyss, he can never get up again until his flesh and blood are sucked dry.

"In the future, please do not discuss these matters in the army." Ma Long glanced at the bullock carts openly transporting grain, and could only choose to remain silent.

The owners of these bullock carts are people he cannot afford to offend.

Some bullock carts simply have large flags with the word "He" or "Shi" on them.

The governor of Hebei, He Zeng, was named He, and the governor of Bingzhou, Shi Jian, was named Shi...

"With your talent as a general, why should you stoop to this low level?" his subordinate advised him uncharacteristically.

Ma Long was stunned, "Who are you?"

The subordinates showed no fear, "Shi Jian is not an open-minded person who accepts advice. Sima Zhao only values ​​the nobles. Who else in the world can use a general!"

Ma Long's face darkened, "You are so brave! You are misleading the public with your lies. Are you really not afraid that someone will kill you?"

The surrounding soldiers immediately drew their swords.

But several people around the "subordinate" also drew their swords.

"Why should I, a man from Liangzhou, be afraid of death? Mr. Wei pities the general's talent, so he did not resort to alienation tactics. Otherwise, if the general takes in refugees, trains a private army, and spreads it to Shi Jian's ears, will the general survive?"

The person raised his head and straightened his chest, and his whole temperament suddenly changed, like a long sword unsheathed, its sharp edge revealed.

The people around him all looked as if they were ready to die.

Ma Long pressed the handle of the knife, his expression kept changing, but he never drew the knife.

He had also experienced ups and downs in mountains of swords and seas of blood several times, and when he saw the demeanor of these people, he knew they were elite soldiers.

"Mr. Wei has recommended generals to my lord many times, saying that none of the generals in the Central Plains are better than the generals. It is a pity that the pearl is covered with dust and cannot be reused. The Sima family used deceit to gain access to the country, and the people of the world are in dire straits. The general is a hero of the world, and he is helping the emperor to do evil for his own sake.

, just to be disdained by the heroes of the world!"

"Tell me your name!" Malone still had a stern look on his face, but the handle of the knife in his hand gradually loosened his grip.

"Liangzhou Xuanyi Order Sun Yang."

This is a strange name that has been lurking beside him for more than a month and has become his subordinate...

Ma Long suddenly thought of another possibility. If there were so many craftsmen around him, wouldn't Taiyuan become a den of thieves?

Shi Jian, apart from his great reputation, has no talents.

Wen Hu has secretly defected to Liangzhou, Tang Zi, can these people be trusted?

"You can take Taiyuan, why haven't you taken action?" Cold sweat broke out on Ma Long's face, and he suddenly felt like a flying insect, already stuck in the opponent's spider web without realizing it.

Sun Yang smiled and said: "The time has not yet come."

The fact that the time has not come yet means that their plans are bigger.

"If I don't give in today, you will kill me?" Ma Long said with a cold face.

In fact, he already knew his situation well. As a general who had been surrendered over and over again, it would be difficult for him to be reused even if he made great achievements.

After being transferred to Taiyuan and having close contact with the Liang army, I felt that they were different.

The soldiers work with their lives as one heart and one mind.

The lieutenant generals in the army are generally young. There are Qiang generals, Hu generals, and Han generals everywhere. Regardless of their origin or family background, they are full of vigor and vitality. However, the Wei army is sluggish. Almost all the captains and above are from powerful noble families. These people form a picture.

A huge network of relationships stood above his head.

"General, you are wrong! Like the general, we all come from poor backgrounds. The general might as well wait and see who will end up in this world. I originally wanted to stay with the general for a few more days, but I am busy with official duties and Mr. Wei summoned me, so I am not here.

I'm accompanying the general, see you tomorrow!" Sun Yang bowed his hands and turned to leave.

Ma Long stared blankly at the backs of several people leaving, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The other party could actually take his own life, but he didn't do it.

All efforts in Wolf Tune look ridiculous.

Ma Long felt inexplicably melancholy because he found that he could no longer be hostile to the other party.
