Zhou Lie was from Dunhuang, Liangzhou. He was famous for his talent and filial piety and honest. He wrote the book "Yijing".

When Yan Xing did not marry Han Sui's daughter in his early years, he met Zhou Lie, and they had a close relationship. Later, Yan Xing married Han Sui's daughter, but Zhou Lie looked down on Han Sui's character, so he became irresistible. Since then, Zhou Lie has never had any contact with Yan Xing again. In the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhou Lie's wife died of illness, but was unable to handle the funeral because of her family's poverty. After Yan Xing heard about it, he sent someone to send money and support, but was turned away by Zhou Liu. Yan Xing was also very angry. Since Zhou Lie did not appreciate it, he simply ignored Zhou Lie.

In this flash, four years have passed.

Now Yan Xing is at the end of his journey, but Zhou Lie suddenly comes to visit, which makes Yan Xing confused.

However, Yan Xing quickly guessed some clues... Zhou Lie is from Dunhuang, and the Dunhuang is ruled by Ma Chao. Could it be that Zhou Lie was sent by Ma Chao?

Thinking of this, he had plans in his mind.

Since my old friend came, Yan Xing would not lose his etiquette.

So he got up and came out of the tent. When he came to the gate, he saw a man in black robe, holding a horse, standing alone.

The man looked about forty years old and had gray hair on his temples.

But Yan Xing knew that the other party's actual age was only thirty-three or four...

"Brother Baojian, don't be fine."

Although Yan Xing was very angry at Zhou Lie's stubbornness back then, he couldn't help feeling sad when he saw Zhou Lie's current appearance.

Zhou Lie is not bad at all talent, but unfortunately he is from a poor family. Although he is filial and honest, he also writes "Yijing Rules", he did not change his life in much substantial way. His life is still poor and hard. It is said that when his wife was sick, she didn't even have money to buy medicine.

But this man was extremely stubborn and his temperament was as strong as his name.

At that time, Zhang, a great-grandfather of Jiuquan, wanted to recruit Zhou Lie, but Zhang was so famous that Zhou Lie refused to go three times. In the end, Zhang was disgraced and became even more resentful to Zhou Lie. He suppressed Zhou Lie in every way. However, Zhou Lie never bowed to Zhang.

This is a proud and magnificent man!

Zhou Lieqing's face showed a smile, "Yanming, how are you okay?"

"Brother is joking. Do you think I am like this?"

After Yan Xing said that, he took two steps forward and hugged Zhou Lie vigorously, and then turned sideways to invite Zhou Lie to join the camp.

The two of them came to the tent and sat down, and Yan Xing ordered people to bring wine and food.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for many years. I thought you and I would never be able to get together again.

Today, my brother is here, let’s not talk about the messy things, but drink it first, so I’ll ask you to drink a full drink.”

Zhou Lie glanced at Yan Xing, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Yan Xing is indeed a smart person. It seems that he has guessed his purpose... Well, since he asked the military advisor for this job, he always had to do his best to complete it. Not to mention, Zhou Lie also hoped to rescue Yan Xing and let him jump out of the fire pit.

After the two had a few glasses of wine, Zhou Lie put down the Tongjue.

"Yanming, I believe you have already understood my purpose."

Yan Xing's heart skipped a beat and then he made a relaxed attitude, "Brother, you have always been proud, why did you go to join Ma Mengqi, a bastard Qiang?

My father-in-law may have a bad reputation, but he has always been a famous scholar in Liangzhou.

Speaking of which, I have never understood why you are so disgusted with my father-in-law and even hated him... It would be fine if you don't like my father-in-law. Why should you compete with Ma Chao? Although Ma Chao is brave, he is a irritable and cruel person. I really don't understand why my brother wants to serve him."

"Who said I played for Ma Chao?"

"ah?"

Zhou Lie smiled proudly, "Although Zhou Baojian is not talented, he is not blind.

Ma Chao, a reckless man, has the courage of a king, but has no heroic posture. I serve, and I am the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty today."

Yan Xing blurted out, "Is there any difference?"

Zhou Lie smiled and said, "How come there is no difference?"

Ma Chao was bravest in the three armies, able to gallop on the battlefield, but he had no talent to stabilize the world; and the emperor's uncle was extremely talented. When Ma Chao entered Tianshan west, he was the emperor's uncle's support. At that time, I didn't quite understand why Uncle Liu asked Ma Chao to enter the Western Regions... But as the Western Regions trade routes were opened, I understood the emperor's intention. Yanming didn't know that all the powerful people in Liangzhou were salivating about the Western Regions trade routes, and therefore developed a close heart towards Uncle Liu. He took the six countries in Tianshan without spending one soldier, and laying a solid foundation for now entering Liangzhou...

How could Ma Chao compare to the ability of this temple?

Don’t look at Ma Chao as the lord of Xiliang now, but in fact, Uncle Liu has already taken control of Xiliang.

Su Ze, the prefect of Jiuquan, has already served as the emperor's uncle and highly praised the emperor's uncle. The famous scholars of Xiliang are all in love with the emperor's uncle... This time, the Uncle Liu sent troops to Hehuang, and the Sixteen Hus were transformed by Lu Shui. Ma Chao's foundation in Xiliang was divided by Liu Huang in every move. It won't take long, Liangzhou will be the foundation of the emperor's uncle. What's wrong with me now? Not to mention me, even those proud people like Ma Chao have already returned to the emperor's uncle... Moreover, after the war in Jincheng, Ma Chao will go to Youzhou, and Xiliang will completely return to the emperor's uncle."

When Zhou Lie said this, he drank a sip of wine.

Yan Xing couldn't help swallowing, and felt even more shocked.

He did not see the wonderful uses of the six kingdoms of Tianshan Mountain. Now, after hearing what Zhou Lie said, he couldn't help but be shocked by Liu Chuang's methods.

"Brother..."

His throat was dry and his mouth was a little astringent.

Zhou Lie said: "As for Han Sui, I have to provoke your relationship with your father-in-law and son-in-law.

This person can only share the joys and sorrows, but not the wealth. He has great selfishness and is too scheming... He and Ma Teng rose up with Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, but soon they killed Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou; they joined the court and valued it for Geng Bi. In the end, they incited trouble in the army, causing Geng Bi to die. He also elected the kingdom, thus gaining the land of Jincheng and becoming a prince in Liangzhou. But what happened? The kingdom also died inexplicably... Not to mention, Ma Teng and Ma Shoucheng, who had a friend of Han Suiba, died at his hands?

This person is capricious and has no faith in his heart.

Don’t say that you are his son-in-law, even if he is his own son, if there is any profit to be profitable, he will plot without hesitation...

When you married into the Han family, he valued your courage.

But have you ever thought that because you married into the Han family, you are only a test lieutenant. With your ability, Liangzhou is such a turbulent situation, even without Han Sui, you can make some achievements. People talk about Jincheng, and Han Sui! You are extremely brave and have the ability to win the head of the general in a million troops... But the question is, who knows? You are nothing after Liangzhou."

These words made Yan Xing feel stinging.

Yes, every time he fights for Han Sui, he kills generals and flags, and charges in battle... But his merits and reputations were taken away by Han Sui, and even Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu can lead an army alone. In Liangzhou, when it comes to Jincheng, Han Sui first was Han Sui, and then Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu candidates, and even the eight generals. Even Ke Zui, who was the old Qiang, is well known, only Yan Xing... People say that Yan Yanming can only say that he is Han Sui's son-in-law. But who knows that Han Sui's great reputation in Xiliang was shot by Yan Xing?

No one made this clear before, and Yan Xing did not think deeply.

Now Zhou Lie made the mystery clearly, which made Yan Xing's face look particularly ugly.

You, Yan Xing, are just a lord who is a stingy person!

Zhou Lie sneered and continued: "In the first year of Jian'an, Baixing Di people attacked Jincheng. You brought eight hundred soldiers to defeat the Di people. In the second year of Jian'an, the hippo thieves of Datong were rampant. You went deep into the wolf's nest and tiger's den and killed the horse thief leader. In the same year, Han Sui and Ma Teng had a conflict. You resisted Ma Teng's attack in the battle and almost killed Ma Tie; In the fourth year of Jian'an, the Qiang people in Xihai were in chaos, and you killed the generals and seized the flag; In the fifth year of Jian'an, the old Qiang horse thieves crossed the Cizhi River and attacked the Heqiao. You fought with people for one day and took back Yicheng..."

"Enough, brother, enough!"

Yan Xing held his head, showing a look of pain.

Zhou Lie said: "Is it enough? But I don't think it's enough.

Because Ma Chao met Liu Huangshu, he easily won the six kingdoms of Tianshan Mountain. Who knows the name of Ma Chao? Who doesn’t know? You, Yan Yanming, fought in Hehuang, but in the end you became the name of the eight generals of Cheng Yin for nothing. Han Sui was even more respected by the Qiang people. But what about you? You are still a small lieutenant who has to rely on others to breathe... I really don’t understand, this is what you are seeking for. "

"I……"

Yan Xing opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to defend himself.

Zhou Lie stood up and walked to Yan Xing's side, "Good birds choose trees to live, good ministers choose masters to work... Yanming, you are not inferior to Ma Chao in terms of bravery; in terms of military strategy, they are still above Ma Chao. But Ma Chao has now been awarded the title of General Fu Bo, revitalizing Ma Fu Bo's reputation; and what about you? He is as anxious as a dog that has lost his family. If Han Sui had no one available, do you think you can lead the army alone and station the troops and trees to ride the valley?

Some words must be said.

You are so capable, but you are plotted against others, just because you don’t know how to recognize others, and you cannot appreciate them by the wise master.”

Yan Xing suddenly raised his head, his eyes flushed.

"But Han Sui has always been my father-in-law."

In history, Han Sui finally planned to plot against Yan Xing, but Yan Xing defeated Han Sui by complying with Cao Cao.

But that happened ten years later, and now Yan Xing has always felt a little grateful to Han Sui. However, the gratitude has become less and less in Zhou Lie's words. Some things will be unbearable once they are made clear. However, he really can't bear it when Yan Xing rebelled against Han Sui.

Zhou Lie said angrily: "So what if it's your father-in-law?"

I am not letting you be enemies with your father-in-law... Now the uncle of Liu occupied Wating and blocked Cao Cao from Guanzhong; and there was also a dispute within Liangzhou. Where did Wei Duan get the energy to rescue Han Sui? As for the old Qiang Ke, he was just a stupid thief! I think he was a Qiang thief, and he wanted to dominate Hehuang? Now the Baima Qiang, Lu Shuihu and Xiqiang joined forces, and the Zhenwu General Hermit Ma Xihai, Ke's oldest Qiang will die sooner or later.

You are a smart person and a hero.

Back then, I was dissatisfied with your support for Han Sui, but you were always my brother. Now Han Sui is about to be destroyed, and I really can't bear to let my brother die with him.

If you have great skills, you will make achievements in the future and become a marquis and generals, why bother to work hard for Korean?” (To be continued.
