Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

In the romance, Ma Teng and Han Sui are both separated from Liangzhou, but in fact, only Han Sui's lair is in Liangzhou.

In the past, when Dong Zhuo was still there, he once wooed Ma Teng and Han Sui and asked them to send troops into Beijing together, but before the two arrived in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo hung up himself.

So Han Sui returned to Jincheng County, Liangzhou, and Ma Teng stationed troops in Yi County.

Later, Li Dao and Guo Yan made a mess, and the courtiers Chong Shao and others wanted to kill Li Dao and Guo Yan, so they secretly contacted Ma Teng, but the matter was accidentally exposed.

Li Dao and Guo Yan sent troops to attack, Ma Teng and Han Sui, who came to persuade them, were defeated, and both fled back to Liangzhou.

After Li Dao killed Chong Shao and others, he sent people to make peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui, allowing Ma Teng to return to Guanzhong and let him garrison his troops on the shore of Changping.

Later, after Yuan Shao died, Cao Cao sent Zhong Xuan to attack Hedong Taishou Guo Yuan and Xiongnu Nandanyu, and sent envoys Zhang Ji and Fu Gan to persuade Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Ma Teng agreed to support Cao Cao, and sent his son Ma Chao to lead an army of 10,000, together with the army of Han Sui and others, to join forces with Zhong Xuan to defeat Guo Yuan and others.

Ma Teng and Han Sui nominally submitted to Cao Cao, but in fact they were still warlords on one side.

At this time, Ma Teng occupied the area of Youfufeng, was named a former general by Cao Cao, stationed troops in Huaili County, and was named the Marquis of Huaili.

When Ma Teng heard that Zhang Ji and Fu Gan were coming, he hurriedly went to greet the two of them and asked, "The two gentlemen have come from afar, do you have any instructions from Gong Cao?"

Zhang Ji arched his hand and said: "Duke Cao sent the two of us here to invite the general to enter the court as officials. "

"Becoming an official in the court?"

Ma Teng's face changed slightly, and he said: "I have always obeyed Cao Gong's orders, and I don't have the slightest disobedience, why did Cao Gong suddenly summon me to the court?"

Ma Teng is not a fool, Cao Cao asked him to enter the court as an official, he must be uneasy and kind, this time I am afraid that he will enter the Longtan Tiger's Den, most of which is more than lucky.

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Don't think too much about the general, Cao Gong summoned the general to the court, just because the general worked hard to show his favor." "

"Let me think about it. Ma Teng was noncommittal, took the edict, resigned Zhang Ji and Fu Gan, and returned to the city to discuss with his subordinates.

After returning to Huaili City, Ma Teng called his son Ma Chao, nephew Ma Dai and others, and said, "Cao Cao sent someone to summon me to the court as an official, what should I do?"

Ma Chao groaned and said: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if my father does not resist the order, I am afraid that he will use this as an excuse to raise troops to attack us." "

Ma Dai also followed: "Cao Cao has a bad heart, if my uncle goes, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be good for you." "

Ma Chao snorted coldly and said, "Father doesn't have to worry, I'll go to Liangzhou to recruit soldiers and horses, follow my father into Xuchang, and cut off the scourge of Cao Cao." "

"Don't come nonsense!" Ma Teng shook his head and said, "Let me think about this matter." "

Ma Teng didn't want to enter the court as an official, but he was afraid of Cao Cao's forces, so he was very hesitant in his heart, and this consideration was several days, and he couldn't make a decision.

Zhang Ji was in Hongnong County at this time, he waited left and right, and did not wait for Ma Teng's reply, he was afraid that something would happen, so he ordered the counties to reserve food and materials in case they were attacked by Ma Teng.

This matter reached Ma Teng's ears, and he heard that there was grain and grass in Hongnong County, and he was worried that this was a sign that Cao Cao would raise troops, and under fear in his heart, he finally made up his mind to agree to enter the court as an official.

Before Ma Teng left, he said to his eldest son Ma Chao: "You stay in Huaili to command the soldiers and horses, Cao Cao sees you staying here, and Liangzhou Han Sui is by his side, he will definitely not dare to do anything to me." "

Ma Chao nodded and said: "Father should be more careful when he goes, he can wait and see what happens in Yecheng, if something happens one day, his son will personally lead an army to meet his father." "

"I have my own plans, so you don't have to worry too much. "

After Teng made the arrangements, he took his second sons Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and went to Yecheng with Zhang Ji and Fu Gan to meet Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was naturally very happy, and the above table named Ma Teng as the captain of the guard, and Ma Chao as the partial general, instead of Ma Teng to lead the troops, and stayed in place. He also named Ma Xiu as the commander of Fengche and Ma Tie as the captain of the cavalry, and migrated to Yecheng with the rest of his family.

Not long after Ma Teng arrived in Yecheng, Liu Jue from Xiangyang also received the news.

Since the New Year, Liu Jue has closely followed the movements in the north and sent a large number of meticulous works to the north to inquire about the news.

After receiving this news, Liu Jue was already very sure that Cao Cao's southward movement was a foregone conclusion, otherwise he would let Ma Teng go over as a hostage.

Liu Jue was naturally stepping up preparations, and Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and other generals began to train water and land soldiers day and night.

Liu Jue asked Yang Jiye to garrison Jiangling, which was an important town in Jingzhou and stored a large number of military supplies.

Of course, Liu Jue didn't want these things to fall into Cao Cao's hands, so he asked Yang Jiye to transport these materials to the south bank, hoard them in the public security, and let Xue Rengui garrison here, and at the same time increase the height and strengthen the city wall.

In addition to the generals' materials, the materials in other counties were also looted by Liu Jue, and all of them were transported to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and an earthen city was built on the south bank to store these materials.

Liu Jue's actions certainly attracted the attention of some people, such as Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, who didn't understand what Liu Jue was doing.

However, Liu Jue's henchmen, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, can share all kinds of information, and they all understand Liu Jue's intentions when they know that Cao Cao is about to go south.

At this time, it was already March of spring, and news came from Buqi that the first sea ship had been built.

Liu Jue was overjoyed, immediately put down the affairs at hand, and came to Panyu in the South China Sea non-stop.

In the shipyard outside Panyu City, a huge treasure ship is quietly waiting to stop in the harbor.

The hull is about 100 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, and it is a medium-sized treasure ship, about four stories high, with a long mast erected and ten huge sails for hanging.

The bow and stern of the ship are carved with imposing reliefs, and there are two huge anchors in the bow, both of which weigh thousands of pounds, and it takes hundreds of people to collect the anchor and set sail.

This treasure ship is made of solid wood and reinforced with iron plates in important parts, and it is strong enough to withstand the lapping of the waves, far better than the ships of this era.

Liu Jue stood on the edge of the harbor, looking at this wood-yellow treasure ship, moored in the seawater, like a sleeping tiger, and the shock was huge.

The small boats around the treasure ship are like sheep, if they collide together, I am afraid that they will be shattered in an instant and sink in the sea.

Even the largest building ship is dwarfed by it, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the several impacts of this tiger in the sea.

Of course, the role of treasure ships is not to dominate the rivers and lakes, but to swim in the sea.

Liu Jue, accompanied by Buqi, boarded the deck of the treasure ship and carefully inspected the hull structure.

The wide deck under your feet is paved with the strongest wood, and the craftsmanship used in the splicing place is from the Ming Dynasty thousands of years later, and it is black technology in this era.

Such an advanced splicing process ensures that the big ship will not be easily knocked apart when it hits, making it the strongest sea fortress.

The inside of the cabin is also very wide, which can accommodate 2,000 people, and only ten such ships are needed to transport 20,000 soldiers to raid Gangdong Wu County from the sea.

"With such a big ship, why worry about Jiangdong's uncertainties!" Liu Jue patted the railing, facing the vast sea, a little excited in his heart.

Bu Qi, who was standing behind, understood Liu Jue's intentions since he received the task of supervising the construction of the treasure ship, and he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.

"Sending troops from the sea to attack Jiangdong, the lord really thinks that no one dares to think!" Bu Qiu admired Liu Jue in his heart, with this kind of solid treasure ship, he no longer had to be afraid of the wind and waves at sea, and attacking Jiangdong from the sea was no longer a delusion.

At this time, Bu Qi's heart was already mourning for Sun Quan, and he could already imagine how panicked Sun Quan would be when dozens of treasure ships appeared on the coast of Wu County.
