For the dispatch of troops to Liangzhou to attack Ma Teng, there is no one under his command who does not support it, the last time he fought with Ma Teng was not very enjoyable, due to insufficient preparation, the loss was relatively large, and the generals were holding their breath in their hearts, ready to retaliate back.

But the strategists were noncommittal about this, Ma Teng and Han Sui fought, it was okay for the strategists, there was no need to say that they had to get rid of both of them, after all, there was nothing good to the west, and to get rid of Ma Teng Han Sui, you had to personally contact the Qiang tribe, the feud between Han and Qiang lasted for hundreds of years, and it was not easy to solve, if it was next to the Qiang people, it would definitely have to devote a large part of its energy to maintain.

But Cheng Yu is the person who has been in contact with Cheng Yun for the longest time, and knows that Cheng Yun's ambition is to revitalize the Han family, and to be able to expand the actual control of the Han family to Liangzhou, this is something that Cheng Yun will definitely do, but he needs to pay attention to whether the timing of doing this is right, and whether it is suitable now.

Cheng Yunzhi expressed his thoughts, "Han Sui and Ma Teng have a natural advantage in Liangzhou, if they don't take advantage of the gap between them, and wait until they shake hands and make peace, they will repeat the scene when the South Korean and Malaysian coalition forces entered Sanfu, which I don't want to see." ”

Jia Xu nodded, "But has the lord ever thought about how to reasonably deal with Han Sui and the Qiang people after getting rid of Ma Teng?" ”

Cheng Yun rubbed his forehead, "Han Sui is brave and strategic, but there are relatively few capable people under his command, and it is difficult to support him alone." He may not be a subservient man, so beware of him sneaking up on us when we attack Maten. If he is stable enough for us to get rid of Ma Teng, then transfer him out of Liangzhou and cut off his foundation, so that if he agrees, there will be no more problems, if he does not agree, he will definitely rebel, and then can't he also get rid of him? ”

Li Ru and Jia Xu thought more about this kind of thing, and Li Ru coughed, "In my opinion, Han Sui will not let us get rid of Ma Teng easily, although he asked us for help." Therefore, in this way, we can conclude that Han Sui will definitely attack us at a certain point in time, and we may suffer relatively large losses, which is incompatible. ”

Cheng Yun didn't know this truth, but the opportunity was fleeting, if he didn't take advantage of Ma Teng to kill Han Sui, when Ma Teng came back to his senses and realized that Han Sui and him were in a cold relationship, the two old foxes would definitely abandon their previous suspicions and reunite (how to be angry), at that time, no matter how strong Cheng Yun was, he was helpless against the Korea-Malaysia coalition army, after all, the Korean-Malaysian coalition army occupied a favorable location.

Xun You saw that Cheng Yun was very entangled, stroked his beard and smiled, thinking about it, Cheng Yun saw this and hurriedly asked him, "Gongda has a plan, don't sell Guanzi anymore, hurry up and say it!" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xun You smiled indifferently, "The lord means to fight, everyone is worried that Han Sui will be attacked by Han Sui in the middle of the fight, so as long as we find a way to prevent Han Sui from sneaking up on us, this battle can still be fought." ”

Cheng Yun nodded hurriedly, and Xun Yu continued, "The current situation is that Han Sui was defeated and retreated by Ma Teng, not only spit out the Wuwei County and Anding County that he had invaded before, but also forced to retreat to Hanyang County, which was in a stalemate in Pingxiang and Chengji at this time, and even retreated. We have to go to support, if we go to Benlong County, Yi County, we can just encounter Ma Tengjun in Pingxiang and Chengji, which is also the most conventional way to support Han Sui. ”

Xun You said this, paused, Cheng Yun blinked, "Why don't you continue?" ”

Li Ru nodded and stood up

Thumbs up, "Gongda's method is really wonderful, as long as we don't take this line and face Han Sui Ma Teng directly, what Han Sui does has no impact on us, we just need to face Ma Teng, and save Zhao from Wei." ”

Cheng Yu looked at Cheng Yun and pointed to the map, "The meaning of Wenyou and Gongda is to directly send troops to Anding County or even Wuwei County, not to go to Hanyang County and Han Sui Ma Teng to face each other, let Han Sui drag Ma Teng, we copied Ma Teng's back road, in this way, if Ma Teng is defeated, Han Sui only has two options left to fight directly against us and take refuge in us." ”

Cheng Yun's eyes lit up, "Yes, as long as Han Sui drags Ma Teng, won't Anding County and Wuwei County be captured?" But are you sure Han Sui will be able to hold Ma Teng back? As soon as Don't Ma Teng heard that I was over, he left Han Sui to fight with me, which is a bit of a loss. ”

Jia Xu waved his hand, "Han Sui doesn't dare." First, in the name of our troops, we helped Han Sui restrain Ma Teng, and it was impossible for Han Sui to stay out of the matter; The second is that Ma Teng is much stronger than Han Suilai, at least after getting Zhu's inheritance, he is much stronger than Han Suilai, and it is impossible for Han Sui to let go of the prejudice of Ma Teng, who is stronger than him, at the first time, and attack us in turn. ”

Liu Ye agrees with this point of view, "If we can learn about Han Sui's movements, he will definitely not cooperate with Ma Teng easily, because if we withdraw in time, Ma Teng will not be able to fight Sanfu and us again, and Han Sui will bear Ma Teng's anger alone, and if no one rescues him this time, he will probably be finished." ”

"Good!" Cheng Yun was sure in his heart, "Since we can avoid Han Sui from making a moth, then we must seize this opportunity to recover Liangzhou." Now there seem to be some contradictions between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in the south, and I don't plan to mediate this contradiction, let them restrain each other. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north are still testing each other, with Liu Yu here, they shouldn't be fighting for the time being, but it doesn't matter, at least they won't come all the way to beat me, right? Cao Cao in the east is a great enemy, but in the land of the four battles in Yanzhou, it is not easy for him to gain a foothold, and if you want to free up your hands to attack me, I don't believe it, so I decided that this time I went to Liangzhou, in addition to the 50,000 hussars, we brought the Xiyuan Army and the Northern Army with us, and the matter of defense and garrison was handed over to Shi Bo, General Huangfu and Dong Shuying. ”

Zhang spoke at this time, "Lord, I've been in Luoyang long enough, I'm thinking about finding something to do, take me with you on this expedition?" The matter of holding Jinwu can be handed over to Ah Huan, and Ah Wan has no problem. ”

Zhang spoke, Cheng Yun subconsciously glanced at Dong Zhao and Xu Shu, the two of them looked at each other, and they didn't say a word, Cheng Yun looked funny, "Okay, I think Yuanzhi and Gongren are also deeply interested in this, so let's go together." However, if there are too many people to command, it will test people's ability even more, so how about we divide our troops into two ways? ”

Everyone looked at him, Cheng Yun thought for a while, "I took the Xiyuan Army and the Hussar Army, Gong Dawen and Wen You Zhongde, and the four of you gave advice to me, and we went to Linjing in Qi County, went straight to Stability, and then went to Wuwei in the northwest direction." , you take Ziyang Northern Army, and 30,000 Hedong Tuntian Army under Yu Poison, Yuan Zhi and Gongren give you advice, take Dezu and Shiyi, go west from Diaoyin, go straight to Sanshui, the Qiang tribe along the way, those who are willing to take refuge must be appeased, and those who are unwilling to take refuge must be exterminated with the power of thunder, can it be done? It is necessary to pay attention to combing the Qiang tribes along the way and bringing sufficient supplies, most of the roads are the Gobi Desert, and Zhao Weihao's help may not be so timely. ”

Everyone responded, Cheng Yun nodded, "Zhongde, go and write to Han immediately."

Yuan Hei, let him deal with the affairs of Hedong well, send 30,000 soldiers to Yu Yigen, and prepare enough military supplies at the cantonment regiment to supply on the spot. ”

Cheng Yu agreed, Xun He smiled, "The supplies of the Xiyuan Army and the Hussar Army will be transferred to Sanfu, and I will go to talk to Dasi Nong about the specific amount, and I will directly supply you from Chang'an when the time comes." But the grain road needs to be protected by the lord himself, after all, Sanfu's army lost a lot in the last battle, and I am afraid that if you want to maintain the stability of Sanfu, you can't have more people. ”

Gu Yong stood up, "I will personally escort this part of the armament and food to Chang'an, and I will stay in Chang'an for a few days to help the lord deal with the problem of armament, grain and grass." ”

Cheng Yun was overjoyed, "With Wen Ruo and Yuan sighing, I don't have to worry about the soldiers being hungry." Then let's decide like this, everyone go back and prepare, we will set off early tomorrow morning, and I will enter the palace to apply for the will of the battle. ”

Empress Dowager He heard that Cheng Yun was going out to lead troops to fight again, in fact, she was a little reluctant, but for the sake of the world of the Han Dynasty, she was reluctant to let go of Cheng Yun's actions, Cheng Yun has experienced the test of blood and fire over the years, and has already started a family, and her temperament is becoming more and more attractive, Empress Dowager He is in her thirties, and she has no resistance to this temperament, Cheng Yun also knows, so it is rare to come to the palace to see Empress Dowager He in private.

"Since the hussars have been decided, then the palace wishes the hussars a victory, and the division will return to the court as soon as possible."

Empress Dowager He wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable, Cheng Yun was a little puzzled, he rarely saw this kind of expression appear on Empress Dowager He, generally speaking, Empress Dowager He's expression towards him was that kind of pampering and dependence, Cheng Yun asked weakly, "What does the Empress Dowager command?" Let's put it bluntly. ”

"His Majesty is seventeen years old, and his mind has begun to mature slowly, maybe I don't need to continue to listen to politics in the future, I am worried that he will be young and vigorous, and he will offend the hussars."

"Don't dare, as courtiers, we have to think more about Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty offend us." Cheng Yun first said modestly, and then raised his doubts, "Does Your Majesty have any plans to do something in the military?" Like appointing a big general to overhead me or something? ”

Empress Dowager He was stunned, did she mean it so obviously? Since Cheng Yun asked, he no longer played a sharp edge, "Your Majesty thinks that Captain Du Ma has a little attainment in military affairs. ”

Cheng Yun almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, it turned out that Liu Wei listened to the wind in his ears again, and wanted to help Queen Fu Shou's father Fu Wan up, grinning, "I have no opinion, but the position of general is not to be deserved, there must be enough merit, and I don't think it's enough to have a good daughter." ”

Empress Dowager He thought that Cheng Yun was unwilling to finish the throne, but she heard Cheng Yun say again, "It just so happens that we are going to send troops to Liangzhou, let the Captain of the Horse follow the Governor of Jinwu Zhang, and establish some meritorious deeds, so that he can become a general, and I hope that the Queen Mother will convey it to His Majesty and the Captain of the Horse." ”

Before the Empress Dowager He could recover from her surprise, Cheng Yun asked in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager remembers that I am loyal to the Han Dynasty, right?" I think Your Majesty should also remember that it will not chill the hearts of loyal ministers. ”

Empress Dowager He was speechless, thinking about the meaning of Cheng Yun's words, Cheng Yun surrendered his hand, and after a long time, Empress Dowager He sighed faintly, "Come on, I will order the captain of the horse to go to the northern army camp early tomorrow morning to report to the ruling Jin Wu Zhang, and jointly crusade against the Xiliang thief Kou Ma Teng." ”
