After Xuanyuan Ding's momentum swept across the world, Cao Cao's actions in Yongliang began to gradually enter a stage of acceleration.
At this time, Sima Lang had already transferred to Liangzhou through special channels, preparing to activate the back-up force he had laid down at this moment. After all, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei were already in place.
At this time, the relationship between Ma Teng and Han Sui had greatly eased. In addition to the intimidating power of Pang De and Ma Chao in Ma Teng's hands, there was also the comradeship that remained from the time when they shared weal and woe.
Having suffered the losses of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji together, been defeated together, healed their wounds together, and gone through the most painful times together, the previous hatred between the two has dissipated a lot.
What's more important is that Han Sui also lost face and explained clearly the death of Ma Teng's wife. Although it was indeed related to Han Sui, Ma Teng also understood after talking about it that there were too many unexpected elements in the incident.
Although Han Sui is known as the Nine Songs, there is really no need to plot against Ma Teng's wife. There are more reasons why things turned out to be so unexpected.
As for why Han Sui directly said that he did it before, he was completely too lazy to explain. Since they are enemies, why should he explain? Now that they have become sworn friends, Han Sui does not want to leave a thorn in Ma Teng's heart, which will lead to one day being suddenly detonated.
.
After Han Sui explained the matter, although Ma Chao was still dissatisfied, he just didn't like to use his brain, not that he had no brain at all. Naturally, he could hear the truth and lies in Han Sui's words. In this way, although Ma Chao was still unhappy with Han Sui, he
He no longer had to kill Han Sui as before.
After so many changes, Han Sui and Ma Teng were finally in harmony. The two were no longer as conceited as before, and began to work together to find ways to strengthen their own strength to prevent Li Jue, who was now powerful, from turning around and swallowing them.
.
However, even if the two of them joined forces, the gap in strength between them and Li Jue and others was still too great. Moreover, as Li Jue discovered the benefits of digging the Zhengguo Canal and began dredging water conservancy channels in the Guanlong Plain, Li Jue and others' reputation among the people
It is also constantly improving.
To be honest, people in prosperous times actually attach great importance to the emperor's concept, but in troubled times, people don't care much about the emperor. On the contrary, people in troubled times care very much about the person who can help them survive.
Under Zhong Yao's casual advice, Li Jue suddenly realized that the people were his talisman, so he built water conservancy projects and opened up wasteland for farming in Guanluo.
He excavated the Cao Canal, the Longshou Canal, the Bai Canal, the Lingji Canal, and the six auxiliary canals of the Zhengguo Canal. In short, Li Jue built all the water conservancy facilities that had disappeared or lost their effectiveness, and he just restored the entire Guanzhong in two years.
The peaceful and prosperous scene of the fertile fields was restored, and even people from Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou fled to Guanzhong to settle.
Of course, a barbarian like Li Jue had no respect for the Guanlong family and would do whatever he needed to do without any taboo at all. This was also the reason why Guanlong's fertile land was increasing day by day.
Speaking of Li Jue's current achievements, if we don't count the digging of the imperial tomb and bullying of the emperor, he could earn the title of a wise minister in any era. However, even if he dug the imperial tomb, he would not be able to support millions of people.
The people praised Li Jue, and now Li Jue's reputation in Guanzhong is still very good.
As for the digging of the emperor's tomb, the people did not see that it was Li Jue who dug it. As for the hearsay about bullying the emperor, it was not important to the people. One had never seen it, and the other emperor was not as important as food, clothing and parents in troubled times.
Naturally, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not want Li Jue's reputation to continue to grow endlessly. After all, Guanlong was different from other regions.
The generals from Guandong are no joke, nor are the righteous men of Sanqin. If Li Jue continues to develop like this, there will be many people in Guanlong who are willing to die for him!
It's a pity that although Han Sui is one of the most wise men in Longxi, he is still far behind the heroes of the Central Plains. He doesn't have any good ideas for Li Jue's simple and effective method of winning people's hearts.
"Report!" One day when Ma Teng and Han Sui were drinking and thinking about how to deal with Li Jue and the others, Pound suddenly rushed in.
"Ling Ming, what happened?" Han Sui looked sideways at Pang De and sighed.
Now Pang De is no longer that unknown soldier. He is already Ma Teng's lieutenant general, leading an army. The things that he can report will naturally not be trivial. He just doesn't know where he rebelled.
.
"Servant Sima Boda is here." Pang De bowed and replied.
Pound didn't have much ill feelings toward Han Sui, or he basically didn't have any obvious likes or dislikes. His goal was to waste his life on the battlefield, no matter who the opponent was, or who his lord was, his goal was
It's all fun.
"Sima Boda?" Han Sui frowned, "Isn't that a close associate of that guy Li Jue? What is he here for?"
"Hmph, invite him in. I want to see what tricks Li Jue is going to play!" Ma Teng snorted coldly and called Li Jue by his first name.
"Invite him in, don't be rude." Han Sui warned Pang De.
Soon Sima Lang was led in by Pang De. I don’t know why Pang De had a deep affection for this polite young man when he saw Sima Lang, and even came to report it in person. This made Sima Lang
I successfully met Han Sui and Ma Teng, otherwise it would be weird if I didn't wait for two days.
"I've seen General Zhengdong, and I've seen General Zhenxi." Sima Lang saluted Ma Teng and Han Sui with a smile.
"Boda didn't expect you to come to Jincheng." Han Sui looked at Sima Lang's gentle expression, and all the thoughts that he wanted to vent disappeared, and he said with a reluctant smile.
"The land of the Han Dynasty, why can't I come?" Sima Lang said with a long sigh, and then looked at Han Sui with a strange expression.
"The Han Dynasty has withered, but there are still countless righteous people who are willing to fight for it. There are the clan members surnamed Liu who sing loudly and indignantly, and there are loyal and good people like General Ma and General Han who are powerful thieves and succumb to thieves, but they continue to work hard for national affairs.
"Senior generation, there are also those who are nameless and succumb to thieves, waiting for the opportunity to come...me!" Sima Lang stared at Han Sui and Ma Teng with his eyes.
At this moment, Han Sui and Ma Teng felt as if they were struck by lightning. It took them a long time to react. They stared at Sima Lang. Ma Teng slapped the table and sneered, "The thieves from there dare to slander General Li like this. I don't know that the general is a commoner of Guanlong."
What is sung?"
"It's just a trick to fool the people." Sima Lang said calmly, "Last time I sacrificed myself to protect the thieves just to prevent you from having a head-on confrontation with Li Jue. You are no match for him with your strength alone. Fortunately, I have Zhong Shangshu to protect me, otherwise I
Your Majesty will be affected later!"
Han Sui was startled and stared at Sima Lang with twinkling eyes. He was not sure whether Sima Lang was sincere or fake.
"Perhaps you suspect that I am Li Jue's subordinate, but I think General Ma should recognize these two things." As he spoke, Sima Lang took out two things from his sleeves.
