Xiliang.

Han Sui and Ma Teng parted ways, and his life became more and more nourishing, which made his ambitions soar.

It's just that nine times out of ten there are unsatisfactory people in the world!

Just as he was proud, the news of the establishment of the Ming Empire came to his ears, which shattered Han Sui's ambitions on the one hand, and made him blush on the other.

The former was because the news of the Ming Empire's more than 100,000 troops came out, which made Han Sui cold and unable to resist at all.

The latter is the only thing left to trouble, which makes him want to replace him.

After a few days of confusion, Han Sui finally stabilized again, and his ambition grew again: Hmph, the Ming Empire? I'm afraid our Prime Minister Cao Cheng won't just watch it like this, right? When the time comes, hehe~

Han Sui had a sharp eye, and within a few days, the court asked for a message.

After sweeping his eyes, Han Sui threw it aside: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is not stupid, he knows that he is not an opponent, and he wants to pull everyone together, hum, it is really a good calculation!" Phew! ”

Another month.

"Lord, something has happened in the Western Regions."

"Huh?" Han Sui had a headache for the sowing of the coming year for the past two days, and when he heard such words, he couldn't help but have an even more headache.

In the past two years, sweet potatoes and other things can be regarded as rampant in the Central Plains, cough cough, and they are popular all over the country. Han Sui couldn't help but think, after all, others don't have their own, it doesn't seem very good, and this thing has a very high fucking output, and it can feed more people, which means that it can recruit more soldiers and increase its strength.

For this reason, Han Sui secretly complained: You said that you have such a good thing, isn't it good to get rich secretly, why do you have to make it known to everyone, and almost everyone has it, isn't this burying people!

Han Sui did not miss a lot of means, but as soon as this thing spread, he was treated as a son by the "extremely vicious" people, and he was closely guarded, making it difficult for him to get his hands on it. I also spent a lot of money to buy some, but the quantity is too small, and the planting methods are not good, the yield is not high, and it is difficult to expand.

After pulling away, the person who came saw Han Sui's color change, and hurriedly replied: "Emperor Ming has sent troops to the Western Regions, and the Cheshi has been destroyed." ”

"What?" Han Sui couldn't help but exclaim. Although he also looked down on the Che Division, no matter what, it was a powerful country in the eastern part of the Western Regions, with tens of thousands of troops, which was not much worse than him. Of course, if there is a real fight, Han Sui guarantees that he can also destroy the car master. But the problem is that Cheshi is only a country in the Western Regions, and there are also Shanshan, Shanguo and other countries close to him, as long as he sends troops, these countries will definitely not stand idly by, and when the time comes, he will fall into a siege and die.

Not counting days—

"Newspaper~"

"What's wrong again?" Han Sui stared at the messenger viciously, as if to say, "If you can't tell why, you have to peel the skin, well, the one who made the model."

The people who came didn't see this, but just wiped a cold sweat and said: "Emperor Ming sent an army of 200,000 to conquer the Western Regions!" ”

"What?" Han Sui's voice suddenly rose up.

After pacing back and forth for a long time, Han Sui hurriedly said, "Quick, let Cheng Gongying come over immediately." (Again, the surname is Chenggong, not Cheng, and it is also a single word name.) ）

Cheng Gongying came quickly, and after listening to Han Sui's words, he immediately suggested: "Emperor Ming is powerful, and the lord is temporarily trapped in Xiliang, so it is advisable to avoid his edge." He pondered for a while and said, "The lord can send one of the generals such as Cheng Yin, Candidate, and Liang Xing to lead the troops to Yumen to resist the possible enemy from the Western Regions." ”

"Good, good!" Han Sui was overjoyed, and immediately made a decision, saying, "In this way, Cheng Yin will lead 3,000 men and horses to guard the Yumen Pass." ”

"Yes, my lord."

Cheng Gongying responded, and said, "Lord, maybe our opportunity has come." ”

"Opportunity? What chances? Rao is Han Sui is as cunning as a fox, and the topic changed so quickly, it still caught him off guard!

"Emperor Ming is going west, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will definitely not sit idly by, coupled with the previous conquest of the text, I think there will be news in the near future, and the lord can ...... at that time."

Han Sui understood, and began to think about blackmail, no, how much food and grass should be taken to send troops. While thinking, the guards outside shouted—

"Newspaper~"

"Lord, Ma Teng asks to see you!"

"Ma Teng?" Han Sui looked at Cheng Gongying.

Cheng Gongying smiled: "This is really fast enough!" ”

"Fast enough?" Han Sui instantly understood, and shouted outward, "Bring people to the lobby." Let's just say that a certain family will come later. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Han Sui turned to Cheng Gongying again and said, "Let's go and have a look?" ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Cheng Gongying happily responded.

The two ministers walked hand in hand to the front lobby and saw Ma Teng and a young man. Han Sui looked at the person's appearance and had a vague impression, but he was definitely not Ma Chao's guy.

"Brother Wenyue!" Ma Teng arched his hand and smiled, "It's been a long time!" ”

"Yes, Brother Shoucheng, it's been a long time!" Han Sui also said with a little emotion. He wants to be treacherous, but for this mellow-hearted righteous brother, he really feels a little guilty and misses.

"I've seen General Ma!" Cheng Gongying is also courteous.

"Cheng Gongjun is polite!" Ma Teng returned the favor.

Cheng Gongying nodded and stepped aside.

"Shoucheng has been very prosperous in the past few years, and he has become famous!"

Han Sui praised it, turned to the young man again, raised his eyebrows, and said, "That's right." Brother Shoucheng, who is this? ”

"Where, where, Brother Wen Yue praised it!" Ma Teng waved his hand, and then scolded the young man, "Tie'er, I haven't seen Uncle Han yet!" ”

Han Sui immediately thought about it, and without waiting for Ma Tie to speak, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the virtuous nephew is so old, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

When he said this, Han Sui had a lot of sighs on his face. The same is true for Ma Teng, he hasn't seen him for many years, he feels that Han Sui is a lot older, well, this is definitely not ironic!

Definitely not!

Definitely not!

Ma Tie had a very bad impression of Han Sui because of Ma Chao, so he didn't want to speak, and when he heard the conversation between his father and Han Sui, he thought he could escape the catastrophe, but-

"Tie'er, what's going on? Have you forgotten what your father taught you? Ma Teng talked to Han Sui, and when he saw that his son was like a stake on the side, he didn't understand any etiquette, so he couldn't help but be angry.

"Child......

It is estimated that no one is not afraid of his father, especially in this era, Ma Tie Nee screamed twice, and then reacted, and hung his head and shouted to Han Sui: "Tie'er has seen uncle!" ”

"You're polite!"

Han Sui responded politely, and then said with a smile: "Don't be angry with your father, after the Ma family is famous, your father's strict requirements for you are also to maintain the reputation of the Ma family." ”

Then he said to Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, you said that you, between our brothers, there are so many courtesies, doesn't this seem to be out of sight?" ”

"Hey, it's Teng, isn't it!" Ma Teng sighed, "I'll punish myself with three cups later, as an apology." ”

"Hahaha! Brother Shoucheng is too humble! ”

Han Sui clapped his hands and asked his subordinates to bring wine and food.

Eha, I really don't want Ma Teng to apologize.

Ma Teng didn't see the meaning, and when the wine was on the table, he immediately picked up the wine cup and said, "Teng punished himself with three glasses, and please don't blame Brother Wenyue!" ”

"No, no, no!" Han Sui said this, but did not stop it. But it's interesting enough, I also picked up the wine cup and drank three glasses. If nothing else, this should be done for the sake of that brotherhood.

Ma Teng also did not stop because he understood.

After drinking, the two nodded in tacit agreement before sitting down again.

During the banquet, Han Sui and Ma Teng, two old friends, chatted very happily. And Ma Tie, under the teaching of Cheng Gongying, a top old driver, has already fallen down. In this regard, Ma Teng just looked at it and didn't care.

After a full meal and a full meal, the servant cleaned up the room. Ma Teng's face finally straightened up, and he said what he meant: "Brother Wen Yue, I won't tell you that I came here this time because I want to discuss with Brother Wen Yue!" ”

Han Sui and Cheng Gongying glanced at each other, and then said with a smile: "I don't know what is the big thing that let Brother Shou Cheng come in person?" ”

Ma Teng's face softened, and he said, "I wonder if Brother Wen has ever received a letter from the Son of Heaven?" ”

The Son of Heaven?

To be honest, the presence of this son of heaven is a little low (a little mentioned in the book?). But Han Sui just reacted in a daze, and said, "I received it." ”

Then he said angrily: "I have long seen Gongsun Du's wolf ambitions, but I didn't expect him to dare to claim the emperor just by occupying the land of Hebei. ”

Don't care about anything else, just scold.

Ma Teng agreed with him, and said indignantly: "That's right, Teng originally thought that Ming Gong was a loyal minister who worried about the world, but he didn't expect that he was also a traitor. The reason why Ma Teng is still willing to call Gongsun Du Ming Gong is for the sake of sweet potatoes and other things.

The brothers are the same enemy at this time, but it's a pity that one is sincere and the other is acting on the spot!

Suddenly, Ma Teng's voice changed and said: "In time, I don't know if Brother Wen Yue is willing to send troops together?" Even if you can't fight from the front, it's good to contain some of Ming Gong's soldiers and horses from the side. ”

Han Sui saw the hope in his eyes, and it was naturally impossible to agree in his heart, but he definitely couldn't say this on his lips.

"Hey~"

Han Sui sighed, but did not speak.

Ma Teng couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know why Brother Wen Yue sighed?" But what's the difficulty? ”

"Hey......" Han Sui just sighed, still silent.

"This ......" Ma Teng couldn't understand the reason, so he had to set his eyes on Cheng Gongying. He knew that his good brother would not hide anything from this military advisor.

Cheng Gongying didn't need to communicate with Han Sui anymore, he knew what to do, and immediately sighed before he spoke: "Hey~"

"General Ma, the lord is not unwilling, but he can't!"

"Can't? Why? What happened? Ma Teng asked urgently.

Cheng Gongying smiled bitterly: "General Ma also knows that the last time Ming Gong sold sweet potatoes and other things, the lord did not go to buy them because of lack of money, and now he can only say that the people will not starve to death." ”

"That's it?" Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "Simple, in a few days, Ben will have people send 10,000 loads of seeds over to keep the granaries that will be piled up during this year's harvest." ”

Cheng Gongying still shook his head and said: "Food is only one aspect, not the main reason. ”

"Why is that?" Ma Teng asked again.

Cheng Gongying did not answer this time, but looked at Han Sui. Seeing this, Ma Teng also looked at Han Sui.

"Hey~"

Han Sui sighed and said: "Originally, it wouldn't be long before Brother Shoucheng would know about this matter, but now that he asked, let's mention it by the way, so that Prime Minister Cao Cheng can prepare early." ”

"What do you mean?" Ma Teng's complexion changed immediately, "Could it be that Brother Wen Yue wants to take refuge in Ming Gong?" ”
