Seeing Zhang Ji's statement like this, Pei Qing nodded with satisfaction. It would be more than vain that Zhang Ji could do this.

With the resolution of Zhang Ji's problem, the handling of the Xiliang army finally came to an end. Now for Pei Qing, the most important thing is to recuperate and let Chang'an completely settle down. After his marriage with the princess is over, his relationship with the royal family will be completely settled. Only after that, will he talk to the little emperor about moving the capital, the little emperor will not object.

Of course, it would be fine if he would coerce the little emperor to move the capital like Cao Cao in history. However, due to the relationship between Princess Wannian and the little emperor, Pei Qing did not want to do this at all. If he really coerced the little emperor, let alone the civil and military officials in the court, even Princess Wannian would not give up.

Later, for the security of Chang'an, Pei Qing tried his best. After some thought, he decided to appoint Zhou Cang as Zuo Fengyi, Chen Dao as You Fufeng, and Zhang Chao as Jingzhao Yin, and at the same time re-designed Yongzhou and Liangzhou, with Anding, Longxi, Hanyang and Wudu as Yongzhou, and to the north, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Wuwei, Dunhuang, and Yan's vassal state, Jincheng as Liangzhou, Ma Teng as the governor of Yongzhou, and Han Sui as the governor of Liangzhou.

Pei Qing did this with his purpose. Although it seems that the two of them had changed their following positions and the scope of their rule did not change much, there is actually a big difference, because Han Sui's old nest, Jincheng, is now under the threat of Ma Teng's army, because Jincheng is under the threat of the two counties of Hanyang and Longxi. At the same time, although the northern land is nominally owned by him, it is actually mostly occupied by the Xiongnu. The real mastery of the early Han Dynasty was only two counties, Niyang and Fuping. Even these two counties were mostly Qiang and Hu people living with Han people. Even Niyang County, which had a slightly stronger Han power, was mainly controlled by the Duan family, that is, Duan Wei and Duan Feng, who is known as one of the Sanmings of Liangzhou, are now in the family. Duan Wei has taken the initiative to leave Huayin and become the prefect of the North. Not to mention him, the governor of Liangzhou, even the imperial court may not be sure.

What is even more troublesome is that Guo Si's power is still entrenched in Wuwei. Although Guo Si's power has been greatly weakened, it is not something that Han Sui can adjust. In this way, the connection between his old nest and Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Juyan vassal states is just a narrow passage, and he will face the threat of being cut off at any time.

Therefore, Han Sui, the governor of Liangzhou, was a little frustrated, but Ma Teng's governor of Yongzhou was also a little uncomfortable, because the four counties in Yongzhou were small in size, and Anding County was sandwiched between the two counties of Liangzhou and Wuwei, facing the dual threats of Qiang, Hu and Guo Si in the north. Moreover, this is the Hetao area, with rich resources and fertile land. It is also the only channel for Han Sui to contact the north after bypassing Guo Si. Because Han Sui had previously controlled the major transportation route at the junction of Jincheng, Wuwei and Hanyang counties, which could directly achieve stability. Therefore, whether in terms of property or geographical location, this is definitely a place that military strategists must fight for. Therefore, if Han Sui wants to ensure the safety of his old nest Jincheng, and at the same time, he can relieve the threats of Guo Si and Ma Teng, and ensure the connection between his Jincheng and the other four counties and states, he must find a way to achieve stability.

More importantly, the Anding prefect Yang Qiu had a close relationship with Han Sui, and Anding was the territory that Ma Teng had to defend, because if Anding allowed Han Sui to get it, Han Sui's forces would be completely connected, and the remaining three counties of Ma Teng faced Han Sui's attack at any time. In this way, Ma Teng had to be more careful. In order to ensure that Anding was controlled in his own hands, the only way was to use his righteousness as the governor of Yongzhou and lead his army to directly and forcibly seize Anding from Yang Qiu.

Therefore, the attack on Anxing is bound to be won.

So under this situation, both Ma Teng, Han Sui and Guo Si fought fiercely around Anding County. For their own safety and interests, the three forces fought for a long time, and the grudges between them became deeper and deeper, and the possibility of peace talks became smaller and smaller.

Pei Qing, who designed all this, gained a brief peace. During this period, he appeased the people, trained the army, strengthened supplies, recruited refugees, and prepared for production in the coming year to stabilize Guanzhong.

Even if the emperor moved the capital to Xu County successfully, Guanzhong must develop it. The land here is fertile and the water flow resources are abundant. It is a natural granary and of course it cannot be given up casually.

More than ten days after Pei Qing conquered Chang'an, Wannian Princess Liu Ning, Cai Zhaoji and others finally arrived in Chang'an.

What is ridiculous is that Lu Bu's daughter Lu Wen actually came to Chang'an with her, and even Lu Bu's wife Yan and concubine Ren Hongchang also followed her.

Pei Qing was very surprised when he saw Lu Bu's family and quickly said to Yan: "Now General Lu Bu has arrived in Yanzhou, why hasn't his wife been reunited yet?"

But Yan said with a wry smile: "A few days ago, we found out about General Fengxian. We were going to Puyang to find him, but the war there was very tense. General Fengxian and Cao Cao were tricked by Cao Cao's military advisor Guo Jia during the battle, and lost thousands of troops. Now Puyang is under fierce attack from Cao Cao, and it is in danger. Even General Fengxian himself is not easy to protect, let alone us. So General Fengxian sent me a letter to you, asking us to rely on you for the time being, and also said that you are a good brother who can entrust life and death. As long as we are with you, it will be very safe. When they really have a place to settle down, come and pick us up and express our gratitude to you in person."

"So that's how it is." Pei Qing nodded secretly after hearing Yan's words. Although Lu Bu's voice was fierce, he was indeed not Cao Cao's opponent. Although Cao Cao has obtained Luoyang now, he has lost the entire Yanzhou. It's really not worth the loss. Unfortunately, the situation in Chang'an is not completely stable. Zang Ba has not led his army to Hongnong to guard. Although Duan Wei is loyal to the emperor, his attitude towards me is still unclear. Otherwise, I should have taken the opportunity to occupy Luoyang and completely cut off Cao Cao's hope.

Of course, Pei Qing just thought about it this way. After all, Cao Cao had responded to Pei Qing's coalition before, so he launched an attack on Luoyang. If he attacked Cao Cao at this time, some divisions would be unnamed and would damage his prestige. Therefore, Pei Qing could only sit helplessly and watch Luoyang empty but could not attack him. He could only secretly instruct Pei Yuanshao to support Lu Bu and at the same time destroy Cao Cao to delay Cao Cao's speed of re-occupying Yanzhou.

"We must consider the marriage with the princess as soon as possible. As long as we get married, many things will be easier." Pei Qing thought silently.
