The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 893
In 207 AD, talks about the fate of Liangzhou and the fate of the Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu clans were held in this small study.

Ma Teng has experienced the Qiang people's rebellion and the separatism of the heroes in the Lingdi era, which is rich enough.

In addition, his political mind is not weak, and he can have a lot of experience and ideas, and Cheng Gongying is on the side as a supplementary account of why Xiliang has been in chaos.

But Zhang Xiu is much younger and has less experience. In terms of seniority, Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Jicai and Ma Teng are considered to be of the same generation.

When Zhang Xiu was active, it was already a troubled time!

He only knew that Xiliang had been in chaos, and Dong Zhuo's appearance made Liangzhou people shouted and beaten by everyone.

Liangzhou in the past two years has been very different from before, so Zhang Xiu was a little confused when faced with Lu Heng's question.

But Zhang Xiufa was ignorant and Jia Xu didn't, and essentially expressed his thoughts on the reasons for the frequent riots in Liangzhou.

"Listening to the words of the four of you made me suddenly enlightened!

Ming people don't speak dark words, but now Xixia is not stable even though Liangzhou is set!
There are Xianbei people Fu Luohan in the north, and Khitan people Liao outside Yumen Pass.

The ambitious leader of the Liao Dynasty had just fought a battle with Cao Cao. Yelu Abaoji would definitely not be satisfied with the entire Western Region, and would definitely march eastward in the future.

I also have reliable news that a new ethnic group named Mongolia has emerged in the northern part of the Mobei grassland and is very brave. What is even more troublesome is that the leader, Borjijin Temujin, is just like the Xianbei Tanshihuai and the Xiongnu Maodun.

There are also many Qiang forces inside, some who want to split China, some who are unwilling, and some who are dissatisfied with the Han people. Even the Liangzhou separatist situation has not yet completely ended.

The people of Liangzhou must be unified if they want to live and work in peace, and only unified governance can make the people of Liangzhou live a stable life that is no longer precarious.

There is no place that can suffer from internal and external troubles, suffer from wars and still try to develop. The two generals said, right? "

"This..." Ma Teng showed hesitation!
"Your Majesty's words are very true!" On the contrary, Zhang Xiu replied immediately as if he had rehearsed countless times.

Lu Heng listened to the two's answers, and Ma Teng, just as Lu Heng commented, was not weak in political acumen, even if he already had the idea of ​​joining Song in his heart, he would still think it over carefully and not be impulsive.

On the contrary, Zhang Xiu is much simpler. Lu Heng looked at Jia Xu and found that there was no intention to stop Zhang Xiu. Obviously, the two probably discussed this topic more than once.

When the scene was a bit cold, Cheng Gongying said from the side: "Your Majesty, it's not that we have doubts, but that this matter is so important. I wonder how Your Majesty will arrange us?"

Ma Teng didn't speak, obviously leaving it to Cheng Gongying to negotiate. If it was the opening remarks of both parties before, now it's time to get down to business.

In the original time and space, it seemed that Ma Teng entered the court without any brains, but it was the result of many trials. Zhong Yao and Ma Teng had made friends many times and sent troops to help Cao Cao. The power of Ma Teng in the original time and space was not as strong as it is now, far weaker than Cao Cao Forced to enter the dynasty due to Cao Cao's strength.

Although Ma Teng occupies half of Liangzhou now, and his strength is much stronger than that of the original time and space, but facing Song Dynasty, he is far stronger than Cao Cao at the same time. Hesitating at this time is probably hesitating about pros and cons.

"Xinding, Liangzhou is located at the border, not to mention there are still Liao people staring at Yumen Pass, the Song Dynasty must rely on the two generals!

In order to better govern Liangzhou, I will split Liangzhou into two states. Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and the Zhangye state where Song Jian lived are Liangzhou, while Beidi, Anding, Wuwei, Hanyang, Jincheng, Longxi and Wudu are Lingzhou.

Both Liangzhou and Lingzhou are located in frontier fortresses. One guards Yumen Pass, and the other guards Helan Mountain. It is the main force for our counterattack to the Western Regions to block the enemy and the country. The two generals Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu commanded the army.

My names are Ma Jiajun and Zhang Jiajun!
Of course, if the two generals are tired of the life of shouting and killing, they can also join the court and serve as officials. I hereby swear that as long as I have one day, as long as the Song Dynasty has, I will never let down the two generals and their descendants.

However, for the stability of the Song Dynasty border, the stability of Liangzhou and Lingzhou, and the people's ability to live and work in peace, the government of the two places must be taken back, and I will send special personnel to govern the area.

Of course, this is my idea and the specific details. We need to discuss it in detail. What do you think? "

Lu Heng's idea is simply two plans. The army of the two should be led by Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu. Even Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie are all members of the Ma family army. The maximum autonomy of the army is preserved and two areas are delineated. Yumen Pass and Helan Mountain are two dangerous places.

There are also people who don't want to fight, they can enter the court and take a leisurely job as an official to live a happy life, although Lu Heng thinks that neither Ma Teng nor Zhang Xiu will choose.

No matter which one the two choose, the Song Dynasty must take back Xiliang's regime, otherwise there will be a big danger that it will never go away. It is the basic program of the Song Dynasty to completely eliminate the integration of military and government.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liangzhou was basically governed independently. The imperial court gave the privilege of integrating the military and the government. Not only did it fail to completely solve the problem of the Qiang people’s rebellion, but it was also used by ambitious people. Once the centralization of power was not enough, Han Sui, Wang Guo, and Dong Zhuo would appear. The lesson of waiting for human blood comes first.

Another example is that the Tang Dynasty was very successful a thousand years later, and the feudal town system in the mid-term also brought unprecedented hidden dangers in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which led to another major split in the subsequent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Therefore, the bad head of military and political integration must not be opened, no matter how great the achievements of Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu are, they will not be allowed to govern themselves!
"Zhang Xiu is willing to guard the border for His Majesty!"

Zhang Xiu was one step faster than Ma Teng, and he had already worshiped Jia Xu in his heart. Everything that Lu Heng said today, which Jia Xu had analyzed for Zhang Xiu before, was almost exactly the same.

Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu that Lu Heng would give Zhang Xiu and Ma Teng the right to independent military power just like Zhang Yan, but he would definitely take back the power and let Xiliang return to the Song Dynasty. Jia Xu even said that Lu Heng would definitely have a series of measures Come to assist, I believe these will be discussed in detail.

Zhang Xiu felt that it was great for him to hand over the power, but Zhang Xiu felt a headache about those government affairs!

This person naturally knew that even if the legion's autonomy was controlled by the Song Dynasty, it was just like Zhang Xiu under Liu Biao's rule, but Zhang Xiu didn't think it mattered at all!
Nowadays, the unification of the world is a major trend. Everyone knows that Lu Heng will not leave any separatist forces in existence. It is almost a dream to maintain a high degree of autonomy.

Zhang Xiu's statement was tantamount to a divine assist, and Lu Heng let go of the big stone in his heart, and then glanced at Jia Xu, who was seen back with a deep smile.

For Lu Heng, the worst thing was that Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu joined together to reject their own conditions. This is the most difficult situation!
The two sides discussed openly and honestly for a whole day, and Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu completely took refuge with their forces!

In addition to the small forces that are still resisting here and there, Liangzhou needs to be eliminated and merged into the territory of the Song Dynasty!
