Among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, if you ask which state is the richest, it is difficult to judge each with its own characteristics. But if you ask which state is the poorest, I believe everyone will talk about Liangzhou in unison, followed by Jiaozhou.

Unlike Jiaozhou, Liangzhou was at least brilliant. During the Battle of Han and the Hungarians during the Emperor Wu Dynasty, the champion Hou Huo Qubing attacked Hexi twice, opened the Hexi Corridor, and Zhang Qian went on two missions to the Western Regions to establish contact with the countries in the Western Regions.

Later, the imperial court set up a protective palace in the Western Regions, responsible for defending the territory and maintaining the land, coordinating conflicts and disputes among countries in the Western Regions, stopping foreign forces from intruding, and ensuring the smooth flow of the Silk Road.

The Silk Road is the wealth path of the Han Dynasty. Countries in the Western Regions have been indecisive in dealing with the Han Dynasty's caravans. Liangzhou, which is on the Silk Road, can find money when walking on the road.

Unfortunately, no one has a good life, no flowers have a red color. After Wang Mang usurped the throne, the Western Regions Protectorate was abolished, and the Silk Road was cut off. It was not until the third year of Yongyuan that Emperor He sent Ban Chao to pacify the Western Regions and rebuild the Protectorate.

Later, Ban Chao returned, and the Western Regions were in chaos, and the imperial court was unable to conquer and stopped taking care of it, which led to the rise of the Qiang people.

In the seventh year of Emperor Ling Guanghe, that is, the year when the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, two Qiang people from the northern regions, Anding, Jincheng, Longxi counties, Kuanghan, Heguan and other places rebelled and killed Leng Zheng, the captain of the Qiang guard. The spring of the next year, the rebels had reached tens of thousands, and it was not enough to torture Liangzhou. They actually wanted to attack the old capital Chang'an. The government and the people were shocked and sent famous general Huangfu Song to the west to Pingjue. After several months of failure, they were dismissed.

The court also sent Situ Zhang Wen as the general of chariots and cavalry, Dong Zhuo as the general of defeating the enemy, and Zhou Shen as the general of the destruction of the enemy, and attacked the Qiang tribe.

In this battle, Dong Zhuo made great contributions and made great contributions, and his Xiliang army became famous.

Later, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling passed away, General He Jin and the Ten General Eunuchs were in turmoil, and Dong Zhuo was invited to enter the capital to pacify the verdict.

After some trouble, the people's livelihood in Liangzhou declined and their strength was greatly reduced. However, the Qiang tribes tasted the sweetness from the rebellion, and regarded the counties of Liangzhou as their back gardens and entered the country every few days to rob.

Although Ma Teng, the general of the Conquest of the South and the governor of Liangzhou, had the intention to protect the territory and the people, the foundation of Liangzhou was exhausted by Dong Zhuo. He could only barely maintain it and struggled to support the Qiang people. If it weren't for a powerful general like Ma Chao, it would be not certain whether he could hold on.

As for the current situation in Liangzhou, saying that Ma Teng is a prince is to praise him, at most he is considered a warlord.

In the past few years, everyone was the same, and the Ma family and son recognized the difficulties they had lived.

But in recent years, the imperial court went to sea and built factories, and life became more and more prosperous. Even the Huns and Xianbei were tortured into grasshoppers after autumn, and the Wuhuan was directly exterminated.

In Liangzhou, it was Wang Erxiao’s New Year, and every year was getting worse. The Ma family and son were anxious in their eyes, and they were so enthusiastic and itchy.

If it weren't for not being able to survive, how could the arrogant Ma Chao bow his head to the scumbag Cao Ang?

I just drank and signed a contract yesterday, and Ma Chao came here to ask for the account today. It shows how urgent it was?

He was anxious, but Cao Ang was not at all anxious. He opened the drawer and took out the list that was folded into paper fan by Cao Cao and smiled: "Brother Ma, you have something wrong with writing this list."

What's the meaning?

Want to be liable for debt?

Ma Chao's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What's the problem?"

Cao Ang expanded the list and stood up in front of him and said, "The list of materials for Governor Youliao supports Liangzhou. Below is the quantity, and finally my signature."

Ma Chao blinked his eyes in confusion and asked, "Yes, is there any problem?"

Cao Ang sneered: "The problem is big. If you take such a lawsuit to the government to file a complaint, I promise you will lose. "

"Today I will teach you how to write IOUs and other things. Let's talk about this list. It only writes the support quantity. There is no delivery time or delivery method. I can give it to you this year or next year. I can even drag it until after I die and let my son give it to you. The father and son pay it back."

"In addition, I can give it to you in batches, I will give it to you this year and next year. I will give it to you if I am in a good mood. Who do I know you if I am in a bad mood?"

"Anyway, I recognize the account and I can give it to you slowly. Even if it is spread, others can't say anything about me. It's just a waste."

Ma Chao: "..." He was anxious to ask Cao Ang to sign and write a few casually, but he didn't expect there were so many twists and turns in it.

He wanted to raise his hand and punch to hit this hateful face. Considering the current predicament in Liangzhou, he forced himself to hold it back, got off the table, bowed slightly to accompany him and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, oh no, Governor Cao, we don't bring such a person, it's really difficult for us in Liangzhou."

Cao Ang sneered: "More than that, there is still one thing missing on the list. Do you know what it is?"

Ma Chao shook his head in a daze.

Cao Ang smiled and said, "The inspection standards only contain quantity, but no requirements are made for the quality of the support materials. In other words, I can use the most recent number of numbers. The soldiers and armor will rust you, the wool will be scrapped, and the grain will be moldy. What can you do?"

Ma Chao: "..." I worked hard for a long time, and I didn't say anything, but I even made myself a clown?

He finally realized what it felt like that all the war horses on the grassland were whistling over his head. It was so fucking.

Cao Ang continued: "Give me a lesson from my mistakes. Go back and read more books, don't be fooled by others."

Ma Chao took several deep breaths in a row, and after his mood calmed down, he raised his thumbs up and said, "No wonder Xianbei and Wuhuan were cheated so badly by you. Cao Zixie, Cao Zixie, I, Ma Chao, have lived for twenty-six years. The first time I know what shamelessness means without a lower limit, I say goodbye."

General Jin Ma Chao, the Shenweitian, was so arrogant that he gave up directly if he knew that money would not come.

He grabbed the list from Cao Ang and tore it into pieces and turned around and left, leaving cleanly without any delay.

Just as he was about to step out of the threshold, Cao Ang smiled and said, "The world is in a panic, but this silver tael can relieve my melancholy. But this silver tael has broken my childhood dream and made the young man suffer from vicissitudes..." "Brother Ma, you are a famous general and are the best of the three armies. I believe you have had the dream of becoming Wei Huo in childhood. Now, because of some supplies, whispering to me, a world-recognized scum, and you are willing to not get the things?"

"Nothing is unwilling to give up."

Ma Chao stopped and turned around and smiled, "This matter was Ma who planned to plot against you first, but you had a better plan, so I had to accept the loss."

Cao Ang smiled and said, "No, if you are the only one or only your Ma family, you can be called open and honest in doing this, but your decision is related to hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou. Just imagine what it would be like to send this batch of materials to Liangzhou?"

"The people in Liangzhou are fierce, and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world and is invincible. The reason why they have been bullied by the Qiang tribe in recent years is that they are just a word of poverty. If your iron cavalry is equipped with excellent armor and sharp Tang swords produced by the Liaodong Steel Plant, how can a mere Qiang tribe be like?"

"Gaozu endured humiliation and established a great man. The overlord insisted on his own actions and committed suicide by slashing his own way in the Wujiang River. If it were me, I would have to bring the supplies even if I knelt down and kowtowed today. But you really plan to leave like this?"

Ma Chao snorted coldly: "What do you mean? I want me to kneel down and kowtow to you?"
