The reason why Han Wenyue cried was not because he found that the situation in Liangzhou had reached the point of exhaustion, but because Gongsun Xun saw through his tricks at a glance, which made him personally fall into the point of exhaustion.

Thinking about it, theoretically speaking, the traditional Liangzhou region, that is, the seven eastern counties of Liangzhou, has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and in the past hundred years, the Han Empire, which was in a very prosperous state, poured the strength of the whole country into many large-scale expeditions......

Did you win? There are definitely winners to be won.

But flat? Each time is more chaotic than the last.

Therefore, for the military action suddenly launched by Gongsun Xun, Han Sui actually has some confidence here, as long as Liangzhou can unite as one and rely on the terrain to resist layer by layer, only 30,000 or 40,000 enemy troops, it can completely drag down the other party's logistics. At that time, as long as Cao Liu in the Central Plains wakes up and comes to do something, or Chang'an has another accident, Gongsun Xun can only pinch his nose and make peace with the heroes of Liangzhou.

Even if Gongsun Xun has the means to defeat Liangzhou peacefully in a 'short, peaceful, and fast' way, and even effectively control Liangzhou for a while, it doesn't matter. Because the situation in Liangzhou is too complicated, sooner or later it will be chaotic...... What the Han Empire couldn't do, Han Wenyue really didn't think Gongsun Xun could do.

In other words, as long as he Han Sui can hide and survive, and can continue to nest in Liangzhou, it is a big deal to endure being a loyal minister of the Gongsun clan for two years. Anyway, when Gongsun Xun leaves, he is still the soil emperor of Jincheng, and when Liangzhou is in chaos again, he is still the actual controller of the land of the three counties.

In fact, Han Wenyue has been in charge of Liangzhou for many years, and he has always had this mentality when facing the strong people in the east - even if he was the most powerful warlord in Liangzhou very early, but every time he really encountered a huge military and political challenge, he took the initiative to retreat, and then pushed a fool out to be the nominal leader.

Of course, this person is also the best choice to betray during the decisive battle and merge and expand after the war.

At first, it was Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, then the kingdom, then Ma Teng, and in another time and space, there may be a Ma Chao at the end...... It can only be said that there are only wrong names in this world, and there is no wrong nickname, Jiuqu Yellow River Wanlisha, which is by no means a wasted name.

So back to the present, now Han Sui actually wants to use this 'Six Counties Alliance' method to gather the heroes of Liangzhou, and then elect Ma Teng or whoever to create a momentum, so that Gongsun Xun can target this person, and he will hide behind and continue the wave.

But who would have thought that Gongsun Xun, the old man in Luozhong in the past, seemed to know him too well, so when he came up, he did the opposite first, and directly set up his Han Wen appointment in the air - he almost told the whole world that his general Gongsun Xun was here to beat Han Sui, and everyone else got out of the way!

"Father-in-law." Before Pound walked out of the private room, it was rare to be sincere again. "My general also said that in troubled times, since you have decided to come out and divide one side, you should not always think about taking advantage of others and not being taken advantage of by others...... Today, he is just asking for debts for the Liangzhou heroes who have been sold by you in the past ten years! And this time, please be sure to know that whether Liangzhou is fighting or peace, this time there is no harmony, and no matter who does it, he will count it on your head, and please think twice. ”

At this moment, Han Sui didn't even have the heart to cry.

Of course, I really can't cry anymore...... On the afternoon of the eighth day of September, the heroes of Liangzhou gathered on a platform outside Yuzhong City and started another so-called Liangzhou Alliance. This kind of alliance is really not once or twice, when Beigong Boyu got into trouble, and later the kingdom went east to the east and Sanfu, all of them had similar actions, but there have never been as many people as today.

Because this time, not only the radicals and the warlords who were centrifugal to the center, but also the moderates who maintained trust and expectations for the Han family or the Wei generals, and even the neutrals who had always lived their own lives...... After all, this alliance is an alliance recognized by Gongsun Xun and Ma Han at the same time.

And look at it, the Qiang and Han are mixed, the officials and bandits are mixed, the civil and military are indistinguishable, the wealth and the poor are very different, and there are even Di people, Xianbei people, the venue is the open-air ruins of the Han army camp when Yuzhong was besieged, and everyone does not even have a chair, a small number of people sit on the ground, and most of them are armed and riding on horses, as if ready to fight and flee at any time...... No way, this is Liangzhou, for hundreds of years, this place in Liangzhou is so complicated and chaotic.

The two armies fought, and Fu Xie was ready to die as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but thousands of rebels knelt down to him and begged him to escape;

Gai Xun fought hard, was injured and embarrassed, scolded on the battlefield, asked someone to kill him, but no one dared to do it;

Zhang Huan fought for hundreds of battles in exchange for precious military merits, but he actually exchanged military merits for a three-auxiliary account;

Dong Zhuo cultivated the land in Longxi at a young age, but dozens of Qiang tycoons traveled with him;

When Yan Zhong was an official in other places, he repeatedly persuaded Huangfu Song to raise troops to rebel against the Han, but when he returned to Liangzhou, he chose to commit suicide in the face of the rebels;

Every war is the so-called Qiang rebellion, but the main force of each rebellion is the Han people, and later, most of the leaders of the Qiang rebels died out, but the Han people who were coerced to demote generals and officials became a big climate!

In this place, there are not so many boundaries between enemies and friends, the previous year everyone was still a friend of the villagers who faced the famine and survived the difficulties together, but the next year everyone drew their swords against each other because of the righteousness of the Han family; One year ago, everyone was still a righteous brother who fought for blood, and the next year everyone was a wild dog who bit each other for turf; The year before, they almost killed each other's whole family, and the next year they made an appointment with each other again, fathers and sons, to loot and survive.

The people of Liangzhou themselves can't figure out who is their enemy and who is their friend, as if everyone is a friend, and it seems that everyone is an enemy.

Then back in front of him, shortly after the alliance began, it slipped in a strange direction.

In fact, Han Sui had just stepped onto the stage with Ma Teng and Pang De, and before he finished his polite words, someone slapped him directly in the face!

Because of the participation of a large number of pro-Han wealthy families, Han Sui expected this, but he never expected it to come so soon.

"Dare to ask General Huya!" One person asked loudly in the audience. "What is the matter of summoning the heroes of the six counties in the name of the alliance?"

"It's to discuss how to deal with General Wei's menacing attack this time." Ma Teng, the general of Long Xiang, saw that Han Sui was silent when he saw him, and thought that this guy didn't know the person who spoke out, so he responded a little for him and mentioned it as a point. "Wei Zhang, your Ji County Zhao family is a famous family in Tianshui, this matter is related to the overall situation of Liangzhou, if you have any gains, you might as well speak out."

This person called Zhao Weizhang, that is, Zhao Ang, the son of the famous Zhao family in Ji County, Hanyang County (Tianshui), was not polite when he heard this, and directly reined in the horse from the side to climb the platform rammed by the Han army when they besieged Yuzhong, and then turned around and immediately stood on the stage, staring left and right, and said disrespectfully: "Gentlemen! According to my Tianshui Zhao Ang, today's events are all caused by the two thieves of Huya and Longxiang, but as many times before, I just want our whole Liangzhou people to fight against them! ”

There was a commotion in the audience, some people laughed, and some people scolded.

"Wei Zhang, what kind of words are these?" Ma Teng couldn't help but be a little flustered. "How could I ever have such a bad heart?"

"Why did General Long Xiang act like this?" Zhao Ang still spoke fiercely, but he didn't look back at all, just pointed his head at Ma Teng, Han Sui and the others behind him. "General Wei sent troops to clamp Liangzhou on three sides, so what's the matter, isn't there someone named Hanchen who is actually a thief, divides the state and county, and is good at Weifu?! And over the years, the people who have seized Liangzhou and enjoyed the wealth and nobility are not the two thieves of Huya and Longxiang, is it me Zhao Ang? Or are you Northland Fu Gan? Or are you Jincheng Baimaqiang? It can't be you Longxi Li Shidi, right? ”

Every time Zhao Ang pointed at someone, the audience laughed for a while, and in the end, it was simply noisy and uncontrollable, and the laughter was like a tide.

And after the laughter subsided, Fu Gan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate who was ordered to come here, raised his voice angrily in the audience: "The Fu family in the north, how can you be a thief?!" So far today, one is to be ordered to watch the hearts of the people in Liangzhou, and the other is to tell Liangzhou Xiangzi that eight years ago, my father died at the hands of thieves for Liangzhou, and today my Fu Gan can also die at the hands of thieves for Liangzhou! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was even more uproaring, and I don't know how many Qiang, Han, and Xianbei heroes from Beidi County surged forward, bluntly saying that if Han and Ma dared to do it today, they would no longer be able to bear the Fu family even if they died.

Among them, some people are inevitably wild and untamable, and they directly pulled out their knives and shouted at Han Ma in the audience, asking the two of them to pay for their lives!

In the face of such a chaotic scene, Ma Teng and Han Sui were panicked and silent, which made it difficult for many Qiang and Han leaders who were close to the two to do it for a while, so that after a long time, the audience gradually calmed down under the appeasement of Fu Gan and Gai Shun.

Obviously, after Zhao Ang, Fu Gan, and Gai Shun made such a fuss, it is ridiculous that they still want to share the same enemy, at least the posture of the two counties that fell under the control of Gongsun Xun, such as Beidi and Hanyang (Tianshui), has been undoubtedly revealed. However, more importantly, Han Sui's strange behavior has caused unease and vigilance among his subordinates and the leaders of the ruling regions......

In other words, this place in Liangzhou, especially the separatists and separatists, wants to establish a top-down effective rule is inevitably self-inflicted, Han Sui or Ma Teng, each is nominally two big leaders, but when the curtain of the nominal rule of the two is lifted, what is covered below is still a dense crowd of large and small tribes and large and small wealthy clans.

And the two have not been without opponents in Liangzhou over the years, and it is impossible for them to be united, and they really regard each other as brothers...... For example, Yang Qiu, who was squeezed out by Ma Teng and Han Sui; For example, when Ma Teng was assigned to the east and north of Liangzhou by Gongsun Xun, Han Sui stayed in the south and west, and Longxi County was where Ma Teng's initial base was located, so when Ma Shoucheng left Longxi, he made a trick and supported an old thief named Song Jian, which made Han Sui suffer a big loss.

And don't say it, this Song Jian still has two brushes, and after making Han Sui miserable in a row, he finally controlled the entire Longxi, and then proclaimed himself the king of Pinghan, making Chang'an and Yecheng angry at the same time, and at that time, Gongsun Xun had just defeated Yuan Shao and established Yecheng, how could he bear it? I sent to personally bring troops to Liangzhou.

How did you solve it in the end?

The answer is that the entire Liangzhou, including Longxi County, is aware of the problem, and knows that if it continues like this, Song Jian's future will be ruined sooner or later, so the Han and Ma confluence, plus Huangfu Song, who was stationed in Hanyang at that time, joined forces to force the tribes and Haoqiang in Longxi to work together, and killed Song Jian in Longxi, but Longxi is still the old leader of the King of Pinghan, and it only nominally belongs to Han Sui.

Under this special political model, once Han Sui and Ma Teng lose their prestige, the results will be terrible.

Of course, Han Wenyue also noticed this, so he hesitated for a moment, and he didn't know whether it was out of luck or unwilling after all, whether he was reining in his horse and trying to confront him a little.

After all, Han Sui is the one who has been in charge of Liangzhou for ten years, and coming forward at this time is also to make the audience gradually quiet down - everyone wants to hear what he has to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Han Sui sighed side by side with Zhao Ang on the stage. "Fufeng Zhao, Beidi Fu, and Dunhuang Gai, although they have always had a close relationship with the imperial court and have their own belongings, but in the end they are our own people in Liangzhou, so I don't blame the three of them for accusing me today. But I still want to argue with Han Sui, and I want to ask you...... Many years ago, it was true that I and General Long Xiang shared Liangzhou, but the two of us treated the children of the six counties, can we be called mean? ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, no matter what, Han Sui and Ma Teng had ruled Liangzhou for a long time, how could they not have any prestige?

Among them, Han Sui was a famous man in Xiliang when he was young, a talented person in the state, and the basic ability to govern the local area is always not lacking; Ma Teng is not bad, he has a generous personality and treats people leniently, and at the same time, he has repelled the harassment of Xianbei in the west many times in the north, and he is also based on some people's hearts.

Seeing the subtle attitude of everyone, Han Sui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then threw out a key question: "Actually, if you think that General Long Xiang and I are not enough to govern Liangzhou, then it doesn't matter, what do we have to say?" I can send my family to Yecheng, and then go to Cheshi to be the general of Pingxi, the pastor of Zangzhou, and the protector of the Western Regions; General Long Xiang can go to Chang'an or Yecheng to be a Jiuqing, and I heard that he can also add a county marquis, and his eldest son Ma Mengqi is now also very useful in General Wei's army...... In other words, the two of us are indispensable to the prince of Wandai no matter what, but what about you? Once General Wei enters Liangzhou, will he treat you as good as General Long Xiang and me? ”

The audience became more and more noisy, and the subordinates of Han and Ma took the opportunity to make noise:

"Please General Long Xiang be the leader of the alliance and lead the six counties!"

"You can gather dangerous troops in Qingshan and Shegu Mountain to resist the 20,000 troops in Bingzhou and Shaanzhou!"

"Defend Lintao, and don't be afraid of the south!"

"The four western counties are completely powerless, the road to Wuwei is long and narrow, and they can't send troops if they want to, so they don't have to care about the west at all!"

"Hit Hanyang! Let General Long Xiang be the leader of the alliance, General Huya be the deputy leader of the alliance, and let's gather 100,000 troops to fight Hanyang! ”

"Let him come as many ways as he wants, I'll only go all the way!"

"Capture the White Horse Thief alive!"

"Enter Chang'an City, General Huya will be the Son of Heaven, and General Long Xiang will be Xiangguo!"

I don't know when it started, the slogans in the audience became more and more outrageous, Han Sui listened to it on the stage, and he didn't know whether these people were his subordinates or spies sent by Gongsun Xun, so he quickly corrected: "That's not what I meant!" That's not what I mean! The main reason is that Liangzhou must advance and retreat consistently...... If everyone is united, we can take this opportunity to ask General Wei, I don't mention it, how is he going to treat Liangzhou? Is there a charter? That's what it means! ”

"If General Wei enters Liangzhou, he will inevitably be far superior to Huya and Long Xiang! There are also charters! As soon as Han Sui finished speaking, a slightly strange accent suddenly sounded somewhere on the stage, but because everyone was silent listening to Han Sui, it was extremely loud, which caused many people in the audience to laugh for a while.

However, Han Sui understood that this was a southern accent, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a young scribe behind Pang De who had not spoken, and he couldn't help laughing: "Why did a foreigner come to our Liangzhou Conference?" ”

"I am the righteous subordinate of General Wei, Jiujiang Jiang Gan!" He was not afraid of life, but crossed Pound forward with his own horse, and faced each other proudly. "You are here to talk about General Wei, and General Wei expected this question, so he took him as a messenger to answer it...... If General Huya thinks that General Wei's envoy can't be here immediately, he will behead me, otherwise please let me be here immediately and tell Liangzhou Haojie for General Wei how he will govern Liangzhou! ”

Han Sui and Ma Teng looked at each other, but they didn't dare to refute, and the audience was quiet for a while, and everyone looked forward to seeing General Wei's messenger.

However, when Jiang Gan stepped forward proudly and rode with Zhao Ang to face many Liangzhou people in the audience, before he could speak, someone in the audience saw him riding a horse carefully on the edge of the stage, so he couldn't help but sneer: "Is this a step here, are you here to be a lobbyist?" If you want me to say, you are a Huainan boy, you can only ride a boat, not a horse, so hard, why not let the Zhao family next to you continue to speak? Or does General Wei think that the people of Liangzhou under his command can't speak? ”

"First of all, this brother is right." Jiang Gan barely stood up on the war horse under his crotch and continued to raise his voice. "You are all heroes of Liangzhou, and in the next Huainan people, they have waded through the wind and sand so far, and they have worked extremely hard, what are you here to do if you are not here to be a lobbyist for General Wei? As for why I want to say it next, it is that General Wei knows in his heart that all the heroes of Liangzhou are mostly swords and horses, good at fighting but not good at talking, and good deeds are not good at talking, so they specially sent me here! However, I came to be a lobbyist, but I didn't come to Huya and Long Xiang, because General Wei had already opened a conditional ...... with the two."

"And who are you talking about?"

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, Jiang Gan struggled. "Just Ma Teng, Han Sui, how can he be called Liangzhou? The eleven counties of Liangzhou, the cities are more than 100, the Han, Qiang, Di, and Xianbei tribes are mixed, and the heroes are more than 10 million, if you want to say Liangzhou, you naturally have to face ...... directly"

"It's good that Liangzhou Haojie is here, but what qualifications do you have to fight Liangzhou Quanzhou alone? Is it just because you are General Wei's messenger? ”

Someone in the audience spoke again, Han Sui was sharp-eyed, and saw that Jiang Xu, who was one of the four clans of Hanyang (Tianshui), the younger generation of the so-called Jiang, Yan, Ren, and Zhao Zhong Jiang clans, plus his brother Jiang Jian who spoke out before, and Zhao Ang, who stood on Jiang Gan's side for protection, couldn't help but feel cold.

Hanyang, or Tianshui, has always been the most developed county in Liangzhou, so the wealthy people lived, when Gongsun Xun broke the prestige of Dong Zhiwei, forcibly went to half of the county, and then was managed properly by Huangfu Song, and gradually took away the whole county, which also made Liangzhou greatly inclined to the central government from the overall concept, or rather, inclined to Gongsun Xun.

But now regret is useless...... I cried before, what else do you want?

"General Wei's envoy, isn't it enough to deal with Liangzhou Quanzhou?" Just when Han Sui was thinking wildly, Jiang Gan on his side had already continued his performance with the tacit cooperation of his teammates, and he stood up and scolded sharply, like scolding a three-year-old child. "If Guangwu is reborn, do you also have to ask again, is the envoy of Shizu Guangwu qualified to Liangzhou Quanzhou?"

As soon as these words came out, Rao is Han Sui understood in his heart that the other party was performing, and he still couldn't help but take it away.

Not only that, but many Liangzhou wealthy families on the stage, including the Jiang brothers who spoke out against each other, including Zhao Ang on Jiang Gan's side, Fu Gan and Gai Shun who were surrounded by many Qiang leaders in the north, and Ma Teng behind Jiang Gan, were all stunned.

The heroes of the entire Liangzhou and Quanzhou were taken away by a Huainan scholar for a while...... Of course, they are not afraid of a Huainan scholar, but they are afraid of the general Wei who has become a martial force!

To tell the truth, although there are more and more private rumors, it is really the first time I have heard of the comparison of Gongsun Xun to Liu Xiu. And in saying this, Jiang Gan definitely did not discuss with those young children of the Hanyang (Tianshui) wealthy family, but really played on the spot. Therefore, even those children of the wealthy families of Hanyang (Tianshui) have also lost their color.

"It is said that Liangzhou has been in rebellion since the beginning of the Han Dynasty." Jiang Gan held the reins with both hands and continued to stare at each other. "Then dare you ask again...... When Guangwu was there, did Liangzhou rebel? Does Liangzhou dare to rebel?! The general trend of the world, together for a long time, will be divided, divided for a long time, a rule and a chaos, two hundred years out of a saint, the general of the present Wei whipped the world, there is the intention of annexing the four seas, you Liangzhou people who suffered a lot in the Han Dynasty did not take the opportunity to drive it, changed the old style of Liangzhou, but here with the two generals of the Weishui defeated army to make a noise, do you really think that you are still against the group of Luoyang fools in the past? ”

Jiang Gan played freely, but the momentum was compelling, when it came to the battle of Weishui, Han Sui and Ma Teng, whose backbones were broken, did not dare to refute, and when it came to the future, Jiang, Zhao, Fu, Gai, and Yang Qiu's younger brother Yang Fu, who should have spoken out, were also speechless...... Obviously, Jiang Ziyi doesn't need anyone's help at all.

The people looked around and continued to face each other on their horses: "Didn't you ask General Wei why he cured the cold?" This matter is easy! The Han family regards Er and others as border despise and despise Er and others, but my Jiawei General was born in Liaoxi and often calls himself a puppet, so how can he discriminate against you because you are out of the world? The Han family lived in a mixture of Qiang and Han, often without distinction, and slaughtered without distinction, but General Wei regarded the Qiang and Han as one, and all Qiang people, Di people, and even Xianbei people could speak Chinese, and they could make up their families if they were willing to change their Han surname...... Not only that, but you can know that there are Xianbei people and Xiongnu who have changed their surnames to be college students in Yexia University, and the Xianbei people surnamed Murong have completed their studies and have already gone to work as a county magistrate? My Jiawei general can even tolerate Xianbei people, why can't he tolerate the Qiang people and Di people who are even more sinicized? ”

There was a commotion in the audience.

"Liangzhou Qiang and Han live together, they have long been one, the Di people have returned to the Han, cultivated the Han land for three hundred years, and changed their surnames early, and they are completely different from the Han people, do you think General Wei doesn't know? I, a Huainan native, don't know these things, but General Wei told me personally. Jiang Gan continued. He had a special message before leaving, and I asked you to convey it to you......"

The audience suddenly fell silent again.

General Wei said that he thought that Liangzhou had today, and that people in Liangzhou were discriminated against, so that the upper class could not be one with the world; Second, in Liangzhou, the Han, Qiang, and Di ethnic groups live together, the bottom actually merges, and the middle level conflicts with each other, while the Han family is arrogant, can not change its course, and deal with it fairly, and only blocks it but not sparse, so that Liangzhou is constantly chaotic; Third, it has been nearly 400 years since the Han Dynasty, and the actual rule of officials has collapsed, so the lower-class people, regardless of the Qiang and Han, have suffered from exploitation and can hardly make a living...... In addition, the continuous wars have cut off the trade routes in the Western Regions, making people's livelihood more and more miserable. Jiang Gan talked in silence. Therefore, my general asked me to ask you, if he is willing to start with these four things, accept Liangzhou Haojie to enter the office fairly; The Xu Qiang people and the Di people changed their surnames to the Han and regarded the people at the bottom as one; combing the rule of officials; Eliminate the warlords and clear the trade road, so can you give up more than 100 cities and more than 1,000 tribes in the eleven counties of Liangzhou, worship him as the master, and let him do the business of Liangzhou? ”

More than one person in the audience instinctively wanted to speak, but they didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Jiang Gan smiled again, and pointed to Han Sui on his side and said: "Gentlemen, you should know the integrity of General Wei, so I won't say more, but I have to ask again...... If my general does this, no matter what, it is better than Huya and Longxiang to govern, right? ”

It's still hard to talk in the audience.

"Of course, General Wei also said." Jiang Ganfu raised his head and smiled again. "If the princes of Liangzhou can't trust him, it is also a common thing in troubled times...... But in that case, please don't hesitate, immediately gather troops to attack Hanyang, he will wait for you there, and if you dare not go, he will come to Yuzhong again in person! Only fight and not fight, surrender and not surrender, a group of so-called heroes gather in one place, only know how to agitate others as their own precursors, but nothing can be achieved, isn't it as ridiculous as a woman? ! ”

There was a lot of uproar in the audience, and many people drew their knives and scolded.

And Jiang Gan saw that there were many white knives in the audience, but he was not afraid, but instead made amends, and sneered again: "It's wrong, this is not good...... In the far wading wind and sand here, I saw with my own eyes, Liangzhou women dare to fight with spears, support the machine can weave, the horse can open the bow, the horse can plough the field, where is the heroes can compare? If you compare yourself with the heroes, it will inevitably seem that your mothers, wives, and sisters are incompetent! ”

After that, he ignored Han Sui, who was already pale on his side, and the increasingly chaotic situation in the audience, and returned directly behind Pang De under the escort of Zhao Ang.

"Ziyi is too much." Pound was also a little indignant. "There are still a lot of heroes in Liangzhou, how can you ridicule me so much...... Mock them? ”

Jiang Gan smiled and said nothing.

In fact, Jiang Gan's performance today is indeed a bit over-the-top...... His task was originally to ensure that Han Sui could not instigate an alliance again, but this task was actually very simple due to the cooperation of the Tianshui Hao clan plus Fu Gan, Pang De, and Gai Shun, so there was some improvisation.

On the other hand, Han Sui and Ma Teng, who had been righteous brothers before, finally sat down and had a frank meeting after the dinner...... As the saying goes, dragons are bigger than tigers, cows are bigger than pigs, horses are bigger than sheep, cows and horses are better than pigs and dogs, and dragons and tigers eat everything.

At this time, Han Sui was really desperate, because Ma Teng was not only better than him, but also much weaker than he imagined.

"Brother Yi, I'm ready to surrender." A pair of cows and horses smashed out, and Ma Shoucheng was absolutely honest. "You can't beat it, why don't you fall?"

Han Sui, who was holding a pig and a mouse, stopped talking and didn't say a word.

In fact, Han Sui understands and even envies Ma Teng's mentality...... Ma Teng, as a mixed Han and Qiang race, has a low background, and he is a poor boy with a generous personality, so his desire for power is naturally much lower, so the logic is much simpler and more direct to him...... Since there is no hope in the military, then it will be lowered!

It's not that General Wei didn't give him the conditions to make room for his horse, give him a Jiuqing or similar honorary title, add a county marquis, give money to be raised, and then his remaining two sons and a nephew, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai, if they don't want to go to school, they all join the righteous subordination, that is, they enter the talent system of Yecheng from a high starting point without discrimination.

So what else is there to say? It's down!

"Where's the brother?" Another round of cards passed, Ma Shoucheng spread out a pair of dragons and snakes, and after eating a pair of cattle and sheep on the other side, he couldn't help but ask.

"I'll see." Han Sui thought about it for a long time, and could only answer like this.

Let me take a look at it again, this is what Han Wen said to Pound during the day, and it is also what he said to his close subordinates at the dinner, and now in the face of Ma Teng, he still says this.

Translated, it's actually - I'm ready to sit still.

This kind of behavior may seem stupid, even outrageous, but there are always people who keep repeating the same mistakes...... Kong Rong was in Qingzhou before, and when he faced the Yellow Turban and Yuan Shao, he also acted like this, is it really stupid?

Perhaps, but more often than not.

To put it bluntly, in a similar situation, there is no hope of victory in taking the initiative to face the battle; Running away and having nowhere to run; If you die, you probably won't be willing to die; In the end, they are unwilling or unwilling to surrender...... So what is it if you don't fight, surrender, flee, or die, if you don't sit back and wait?

And sitting back and waiting is also a kind of life attitude, maybe it's time to run.

You are like Kong Rong, at least the strategy of sitting and waiting for the Yellow Turban is very successful, he Kong Wenju is not defeated, and the Yellow Turban was eaten by Yuan Shao from behind first; Then Yuan Shao came and continued to sit and wait, Yuan Shao did not cut him down, but sent him to Chang'an to enjoy happiness.

Changing to Han Sui, maybe the hope of a similar situation is too slim, but it's better than nothing, right?

Perhaps, tonight, Gongsun Xun fell in love with someone's concubine in Chen Cang, which led to a rebellion, and the water and soil were not subject to death!

Perhaps, tomorrow Cao Liu will start a war and go straight to Guandu!

Perhaps, there will be a coup d'état in Chang'an the day after tomorrow, and the Son of Heaven will run away!

Why shouldn't he sit still?

And just as Han Sui understands Ma Teng very well, Ma Shoucheng also understands Han Wenyue very well, everyone is in a similar situation, it is nothing more than whether they can pass that hurdle, so after understanding the other party's intentions, he bowed his head slightly, and spread out a pair of dragon and tiger cards again, and ended the game.

"It's come to this, and the foolish brother won't stay long." Ma Teng calmly took away the jade pendant pressed by the other party, and got up again to say goodbye to his brother-in-law. "Anyway, General Wei marches into the army, and he must deal with me first, and it is not impossible for my righteous brother to wait and see...... It's just a pity, this time I say goodbye, I'm going to Yecheng, my brother will either die or go to the car division, and it will be difficult for our brothers to meet again! Bow down to it as a brother! ”

With that, Ma Teng bowed casually at the table, and then went out of the door.

Han Sui sat at the card table, and didn't know what to say, and after the other party walked into the hospital, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "If you win, go, or at night, be careful of encountering road robbers!" ”

Ma Teng was not polite, and responded from afar: "If this is the case, it will be regarded as a scattering of wealth." ”

Han Sui was completely speechless.

In other words, Ma Teng saw that the alliance could not be formed and knew that military resistance was meaningless, so he made up his mind to return to Anding County to surrender the whole army, and his people left late at night, and arrived at Warrior County in Hanyang County at noon on the second day...... In fact, this is the special geographical significance of Yuzhong, which is the junction of the four counties of Hanyang (Tianshui), Anding, Jincheng and Longxi, and is next to the Yellow River, which is the core place of Xiliang...... Then after a short rest, he prepared to pass through Yongshi County, and then enter Wuwei Zuli County to the east, and then pass through Fengyi Mountain to the east, and then he could enter Anding.

That's right, there is a saying for surrender, if you don't show your military strength, if you don't express your candor, you can't sell it for a good price, right?

There are so many official positions in Jiuqing, and there are also good and bad ones, and if you can be the captain of Jinwu or the city gate, isn't it better than Jiuqing?

There will be a huge disparity in giving money, who thinks more money?

However, Ma Shoucheng, who had such a calculation, led his nephew Ma Dai and five or six hundred guards to leave the warrior county and set off again, but on the evening of the same day, he encountered an unexpected person in a pasture at the junction of Hanyang and Wuwei in the east of the city - his eldest son Ma Chao waited here with a song of Youzhou Raid.

To tell the truth, Ma Teng has never been waiting to see his son, but after all, he is a parent-child and the eldest son, and now there is no family property or foundation to speak of, but he has not seen him for many years, so he can't help but be a little surprised. On the other side, Ma Chao did not hesitate, led the crowd to dismount, came to Ma Teng to kneel and salute, and called him an adult.

Both parties were happy, so they camped and camped here in the pasture, drinking and barbecue.

"It's rare that you have such filial piety, and you know that you are here to wait for me." By the bonfire, Ma Teng, who had taken off his armor, looked at his eldest son, who had become an adult and crowned and had a figure very similar to himself, and was also very emotional, and patted the other party's shoulder again and again to praise him. "Just crowned, I can lead such a majestic two hundred armor riders, and the future is also very great."

"No way, as the eldest son in the family, how can you not think about the family at this critical time?" Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't help but lower his head. "As for the future, although Mrs. Gongsun and General Wei also look up to me, there are too many heroes in the army, and it is difficult to make contributions."

"I know what you're worried about." Ma Teng twisted his beard casually. "Don't worry, I've made up my mind, this time I will prepare my troops and horses to surrender to General Wei, from now on you will not only be no longer a proton, but you will have the support of your family under Ye, and your future will be great......"

"Actually, this is what the villain is here for." Ma Chao continued to bow his head.

"I know." Ma Teng continued to laugh. "Are you afraid that if I can't figure it out, I will resist, and make the father-son battlefield opposite...... Actually, how could I be so stupid? General Wei wants to go out of Hanyang in person, General Zhenxi wants to lead 20,000 people out of the north, and the three northern counties of Liangzhou seem to be the main direction of attack in the early stage, Han Sui can wait a little longer, I can't hesitate at all. ”

Ma Chao bowed slightly, raised his head again and shook his head slightly, under the bonfire, his face was a little shy: "What the adults said is half right, half wrong......

"What do you mean?" Ma Teng was momentarily curious.

"That's true, but I always think we father and son can have a better way." Ma Chao said earnestly. "First, I won't delay my father's happiness in Yecheng, and second, I can let my father help me and make great achievements in Liangzhou!"

"How?" Ma Shoucheng became more and more curious.

"My lord, Liangzhou's military exploits are nothing more than you and Han Sui, you said that if I can ask for one of them and dedicate it to General Wei, with General Wei's clear attitude of rewards and punishments, how can I become a thousand stone Sima...... That's a big hurdle! Ma Chao became more and more earnest.

"I see what you mean." Ma Teng woke up when he heard this. "You said you wanted me to give you these five or six hundred horsemen, but you went to attack Yuzhong under my banner, right?"

“……”

"Forgive my father," Ma Shoucheng, the general of Long Xiang, shook his head and sighed. "My son is still a little self-righteous, Yuzhong is an important town in Liangzhou, Han Wenyue also knows that in case of facing this place is the most important, so he put a full four or five thousand people in Yuzhong, all of them are the elite of his headquarters, such a majestic city, when the imperial court sent 100,000 troops, with Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian as generals, they couldn't defeat it, not to mention that you led seven or eight hundred cavalry?"

"That's not what my son meant." Ma Chao became more and more shy. "My son didn't want to touch Yuzhong Jiancheng ......"

Ma Teng was slightly stunned.

"Father." Ma Mengqi stretched out his hands like iron tongs to hold his own father's hands, kneeling to each other earnestly. "You say, if I dedicate you to General Wei, wouldn't it be a great merit?"

Ma Teng didn't react for a while, but Ma Dai, who had been listening to the interesting thing next to him, hurriedly got up and held the knife, but still didn't dare to draw the knife, not only because this was a family ethics incident between his cousin and uncle, but more importantly, at this time, he noticed that all his cousin's subordinates had not removed their armor, and they faintly surrounded the three of them.

On the other side, Ma Chao ignored Ma Dai, just knelt on the ground and continued to plead with each other: "Father, think about it, with the generosity of General Wei, whether you surrender or be kidnapped, anyway, the result is just to enjoy the happiness of your majesty, and the treatment you deserve will still be there, and there is not much difference; But whether I caught you or not is related to the future of our Fufeng Ma clan...... The two younger brothers, as well as Ah Dai, don't they all have to rely on me for their future future? In this case, why should my father work hard to pave the way for my son and me? And I didn't hide it from my father, this truth was not something I came up with at the moment, but as early as in Changping I was worried about the future, when there happened to be a man named Wang Cang who grew up with me, and often made ideas for me, he said casually that day, saying that if there is something today, it should be like this, and I have remembered it in my heart for many years! ”

Ma Teng was held by his son's hands, and he couldn't refute it.
