Liu Xie's murder suddenly became unimportant before Zhang Song came to Xiangyang.
This is not entirely because Ma Chao is so motivated.
It is indeed because of the initiation of a conspiracy, and most of the subsequent strategies are promoted one after another, creating irreversible results layer by layer.
But Liu Xie was seriously ill.
After Liu Xie lay down on the bed, there was not much movement.
In addition, the information blockade was strict, and the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was no longer the focus of the world's attention.
Therefore, Ma Chao did not even receive the abuse from some ignorant gentry groups.
Sometimes, Ma Chao even wonders if this is Liu Xie's own trick.
In addition to trying to win back Da Qiao's heart and defeat him on another battlefield, does he also want to see if the world still cares?
His emperor However, the result may have disappointed him, but Ma Chao would not add insult to injury.
In addition to arranging for increased supervision of Liu Xie, he ignored Liu Xie and focused more on Zhang Song's coming to Xiangyang. above the event.
Two days later, Shadow finally received news that Zhang Song was indeed coming to Xiangyang.
However, the banner was not to represent Liu Zhang, but to come to Liu Bei, a member of the Han clan, to talk about family affairs, but to serve as an envoy from Yizhou to make good friends with the Ma family.
Since Ma Chaoman was in Xiangyang, he did not go to Chang'an but came to Xiangyang to pay his respects.
Interestingly, those people in Xichuan knew that the emperor was in Xiangyang, but they did not bother to meet the emperor at all.
What they did was obviously concerned about Ma Chao's power.
Of course, Ma Chao would not believe such boring slogans.
Although the Ma family and Xichuan have trade relations, they only have a general cooperative relationship, neither close nor enmity.
Moreover, the establishment of the Ma family in the six states did not happen in a day or two.
When he was enthroned as King Yong, Liu Zhang did not show any intention of making good friends.
Why did he rush to come at this time?
Fortunately, the shadows of the Ma family were not vegetarians.
Two days later, another group of shadows lurking in Jian'an County sent a shocking message, and this news completely made Ma Chao vaguely guess the intentions of the Xichuan gang. : The barbarian king Meng Huo rebelled At this time, Meng Huo was only a young man in his early twenties, but what is unexpected is that it was this young man in his early twenties who stirred up the situation in the southwest of the Han Dynasty.
When the Central Plains was turbulent, the Southern Barbarians were not at peace either.
The Southern Barbarians were originally a barbaric land with deep mountains and old forests.
There were many tribes and there was no communication between them.
The Yi people were even more vulgar and ignorant.
The entire Southern Barbarians were in disarray until Meng Huo appeared.
Meng Huo was born into a powerful family.
He was brave and fond of fighting.
He made a name for himself among the southern barbarians at a young age.
When he was seventeen years old, he went deep into the Yi tribe and competed with various cave masters and village kings.
In three years, he either used martial arts to conquer the crowd or became sworn sworn disciples, and brought him the cave master, King Mulu, Wu Tu Gu, and Jin Huan Sanjie.
By the time Meng Huo's friendship with the barbarian leaders developed, Meng Huo's reputation was at its peak and he was respected by his subordinates of both Yi and Han tribes.
As for the presence of Meng Huo in the Southern Barbarians, it was actually not a big problem.
Even though Meng Huo was extremely ambitious, he could only surrender to the 200,000 soldiers from Yizhou.
But the problem was that a rebellion occurred in Yizhou this year, which gave Meng Huo, an ambitious man, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When Liu Yan, the father of Liu Zhang, the leader of Yizhou, first entered Shu, because they were outsiders, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the locals in Yizhou, so he recruited refugees who had flowed into Yizhou from Nanyang and other places to form an army.
Known as the "Dongzhou Soldiers".
As his gun to rule Yizhou, Liu Yan can be regarded as a man of talent.
At least in Yizhou, with such a ragtag group of Dongzhou soldiers who have not received much formal training into an army, they have worked hard for a long time and finally managed to win the battle in Yizhou.
Yizhou gained a firm foothold.
However, after Liu Zhang succeeded his father as a shepherd in Yizhou, due to his cowardly character and lack of authority, these Dongzhou soldiers, who had no roots in Yizhou, naturally used their power to bully the local indigenous people.
Liu Zhang had no way to restrain these arrogant and arrogant soldiers.
The conflict between Yizhou's wealthy families and Liu Zhang's ruling group became increasingly fierce.

Zhao Wei was an official in Yizhou.
Because the interests of the people and families in Yizhou were harmed, he became resentful of Liu Zhang's rule, so he rebelled.
At that time, many wealthy families in Yizhou sided with Zhao Wei.
On the one hand, people in Shujun, Guanghan, Qianwei and other places responded one after another and drove their domestic slaves and tenants to participate in Zhao Wei's rebellion.
In a short period of time, Zhao Wei gathered tens of thousands of troops and became an enemy of Liu Zhang, becoming very powerful.
At the beginning of this year, Zhao Wei even led an army to besiege Chengdu.
However, the Dongzhou soldiers under Liu Zhang fought bravely for fear of being executed if they failed.
Zhao Wei was defeated and had to retreat to Jiangzhou and was killed by the pursuers.
Afterwards, the wealthy Yizhou family lost no one knows how many heads they lost and how much wealth they confiscated.
Moreover, the entire Yizhou was always in an atmosphere of white terror.
The wealthy family in Yizhou may have lost five of their ten pavilions.
After this battle, there were no fewer than dozens of wealthy families in central Shu who were implicated.
Liu Zhang's series of revenge on the gentry and people in central Shu made him even more unpopular.
People pricked them with needles and then slapped them with the soles of their shoes.
As for Liu Zhang's self-disruption, he actually had nothing to do with Meng Huo.
But people like the wealthy families in the middle of Shu didn't think so.
After the seeds of hatred sprouted, they suddenly set their sights on the southern barbarians.
They were suddenly shocked to realize that a powerful force had arisen in the barbaric land where only insects and beasts originally lived.
Barbarian armed forces.
Careful people began to gradually collude with Meng Huo, plotting to overthrow Liu Zhang.
Meng Huo also wanted to make a career in this troubled world, and the two hit it off.
After three months of plotting, a major rebellion broke out with the momentum of a wildfire.
This rebellion was not just a rebellion by powerful private soldiers like Zhao Wei before, but a life and death battle between Han and barbarians.
At first, those powerful nobles only wanted to take advantage of Meng Huo's bravery, but he never imagined that in just a few months, the four counties of Jianning, Yongchang, Zanggao, and Yuexi would all fall into Meng Huo's hands, and the barbarians would burn the land of the Han people wantonly.
Killing and looting put the entire Yizhou into an unprecedented bloody storm.
At this time, there was no Zhuge Liang in Yizhou, and the scale of the rebellion was far greater than that in history.
Liu Zhang urgently mobilized Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other elite soldiers and generals to be deployed on the front lines of Hanjia, Jianwei and Zhuti to resist the barbarian attack.
At this time, counselors in Shu also offered suggestions, saying that this rebellion was an act of destruction for Yizhou.
If no foreign aid was invited to help, the lives of the huge Yizhou would be destroyed.
Therefore, Zhang Song was ordered to come to marry the Ma family with the eager expectation of hundreds of thousands of people from Yizhou.
There are still some twists and turns in the story, but the more things go like this, the more suspicious Ma Chao becomes: "Since Yizhou is already in danger, Zhang Song also came to ask for reinforcements.
Why is this trip so secretive and tied?
Isn't he afraid of the banner of the good Ma family?
If something goes wrong, the whole Yizhou will fall into Meng Huo's hands."
"You have been smart all your life, why are you so whimsical today?"
The person who said these words was none other than Pang Tong.
Now that Ma Chao has no advisers around him, when he suddenly encounters such a problem, he naturally needs to find someone to discuss it with.
What's more, Pang Tong and Liu Bei have become very close these days, and Ma Chao also needs to find out how far they have progressed during this period.
"Yizhou is different from the Central Plains.
The mountains and rivers there are dangerous and winding.
Although there are city buildings, the land is vast and sparsely populated.
Although the barbarians value death over life and are fierce and brave, they seem to be menacing, but the cities they conquer are equipped with military supplies and supplies.
There are only a few of them, and the barbarians regard Meng Huo as their king, but they do not obey the command.
It is difficult for Zhang Song to go deep into the inner reaches of Sichuan due to the limitations of his combat power, military resources, vision and many other factors.
He came to ask for reinforcements, but in fact, don’t forget that he is also a powerful man in Shu."

After saying these words, Ma Chao immediately felt like a mirror.
He looked at Pang Tongyi and couldn't help but feel emotional: No matter where he is, war always comes with conspiracy.
The so-called life-and-death battle in Yizhou is probably a rumor deliberately fabricated by some thoughtful people in Yizhou.
It was heard by Shadow and spread here.
The real purpose of those powerful nobles in Yizhou is to pour a bucket of strong oil on Meng Huo's wildfire and completely burn Liu Zhang in Yizhou.
In other words, although Zhang Song's mission this time was different from that in history, the reasons were different, the banner was different, and the objects he was looking for were different.
But essentially, they are exactly the same.
And if this is the case, then Ma Chao really can't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth: Cao Cao thinks Zhang Song is ugly, so after getting used to seeing Pang Tong, doesn't he still have some immunity?
Pang Tong had just found some confidence in Ma Chao, but looking at Ma Chao's weird smile, he suddenly felt cold all over, as if he had lost something again.
He quickly moved his seat and covered himself with his sleeves unnaturally.
