Zhang Meng still fell for Xu You's plan, and sent troops to Chang'an with Ma Teng, and Ma Teng always went to his camp to drink along the way. And Zhang Meng was a little worried that Ma Teng would kill him, so he didn't dare to go to Ma Teng's camp. But when the army was about to reach Chencang, Ma Teng went back and forth in his tent and drank several times.

One day, Ma Teng invited Zhang Meng to drink in his tent. Although Zhang Meng was a little suspicious, he saw that Ma Teng often came to his camp, and he seemed very open. I thought it should be fine!

But when Zhang Meng entered the tent of Ma Teng. After drinking for a while, Ma Teng said: Hey! It's not because my brother wants to kill you, but because the situation is forcing you! Zhang Meng still doesn't understand, this is the Hongmen Banquet!

Zhang Meng was shocked and begged for mercy: The younger brother is willing to surrender to the eldest brother.

Is the virtuous brother serious? Ma Teng said.

How dare the little brother hide it? Zhang Meng knelt down and begged for mercy.

Well, if the virtuous brother is really willing to surrender, then please write an order for his soldiers to surrender as well.

Zhang Meng didn't want to write and hesitated.

Ma Tengdao: Why does the virtuous brother want to regret it? If Brother Xian wants to repent, then we can only use Brother Xian's head to make the brothers surrender.

There was no way, Zhang Meng could only obediently write the order.

It's a pity that after the order was written, Xu You nodded to Ma Chao.

With a click, Ma Chao cut off Zhang Meng's head with a sword.

Meng Qi, why are you? He has already surrendered. Ma Teng said.

Xu Youdao: Lord, it was the young master who killed Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng is capricious, and he promised to surrender just now, but it was just an expedient measure to be afraid of death. There was no guarantee that he would return to the camp and rebel. To stay is a scourge. Now it is enough to have his warrant.

Major General, you are now personally leading your troops to surround Zhang Meng's barracks. But don't attack.

Ling Ming, you lead people to block the road to Chang'an. As long as the opponent doesn't attack, don't fight.

Promise!

Horse loan, you lead people to block the way to escape back to Tianshui.

Promise!

Remember, our main purpose is to force them down. Try not to tear up!

Promise!

Lord, let's go to Zhang Meng's main tent camp! Take Zhang Meng's order to go. and compelled them to be used by the Lord.

Good!

When Ma Teng and his entourage came to Zhang Meng's military camp, they didn't have much effort to force everyone down. Ma Chao's prestige made these Xiliang soldiers a little afraid. So they all surrendered to Ma Teng. Anyway, Ma Teng is a Liangzhou pastor. Surrender is nothing either!

Since then, Ma Teng has dominated Liangzhou, with nearly 100,000 mercenaries. I was overjoyed for a moment.

Now the father and son of the Ma family are obedient to Xu You.

Ma Chaodao: Strategist, let's start fighting Chang'an now, right?

Xu Youdao: It's not time yet, in Guzang, Zhang Meng still has 5,000 people who have not surrendered. Most of our soldiers have been recruited, and we still have to train them. If we send troops to Chang'an now, Yan Xing has no way out, and he will take refuge in Zhang Jie, which is not good for us. So let's go back first and collect the 5,000 men.

But before we go back, we have to occupy Sanguan first, in case Cao Cao goes north to Guanzhong to fight us. (Sanguan, located a little southeast of Chencang, is the strategic throat of Hanzhong in the north.) It is called the four passes of Guanzhong together with Xiaoguan in the north, Hangu Pass in the east, and Wuguan in the southeast, and it is also the strategic key of the Guanzhong Basin. Historically, Zhuge Liang Beivalve also sent troops from Sanguan to attack Chencang).

Ma Loan, you take three soldiers to guard the Sanguan to guard against Cao Cao. Remember to choose soldiers who are loyal to your lord. Be sure to guard the pass.

Promise!

Lord, you are now in charge of Xiliang. If Zhang Jie doesn't come to fight us, let's not provoke him for the time being.

When he was in Luoyang, Yu said that he would first unify Xiliang, then capture Guanzhong, and then go south to Hanzhong to Tubashu. This is just the first step. Don't be careless!

Hanzhong Cao Cao is not easy to fight! We have to plan slowly, now that Liu Bei occupies Bashu, we have to send someone to contact us. It would be even better if they could form an alliance with Liu Bei to attack Hanzhong together.

Well, Ziyuan has a point. In your opinion, let's go back to Wudu first. When the alliance is good, Liu Bei will send troops to Hanzhong. Chang'an will be temporarily conceded to Yan Xing!

And in Luoyang, Zhang Jie looked into the distance, and Yang Hong said: The lord is thinking about Cai He and other soldiers who go to sea?

Oh, yes! It's been a year since I went to sea! I don't know if they arrived in the United States. If all goes by the way, then they should be in South America. Let's hope they're on the wrong track.

Ay! We can only pray for them now. If Cai and them can bring back the seeds, Jie will definitely have people erect a monument for them to build an ancestral hall for future generations to admire.

After a while, Tian Feng came. Lord, Zhang Meng is dead, and Ma Teng has already dominated Xiliang. However, Chang'an was not attacked. Now Wudu, Tianshui area. Isn't it time for us to send troops? At present, there is sufficient grain and grass. We should take advantage of the opportunity when Ma Teng has just unified Xiliang and has an unstable foothold to eliminate Ma Teng in one fell swoop. Can't wait any longer, it's too late!

Zhang Jie thought for a moment and lit a leaf roll of dirt smoke. I took a puff and said, "What kind of season do you say is most prone to fires?"

Tian Fengdao: It should be from late autumn to winter, when the weather is dry and dry, and there is no snow yet.

Zhang Jie nodded, so now is a good time! It's late autumn now, and it's winter in a while. The weather is dry.

Well! Dispatch troops!

Zhong Ming, you record the order!

Promise!

The order was sent to Xu Huang and ordered him to bring 30,000 horses from Jizhou to Luoyang.

Ordered Gao Ran to take 10,000 cavalry from Bingzhou directly to Chang'an.

Ordered Zangba to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses from Nanyang to enter Chang'an from Wuguan.

Ordered Zhang Yan's troops to go to Pengcheng to reinforce Xuzhou and guard against Sun Quan. In addition, someone was sent to Guangling to inform Chen Deng. Jie began to enter Guanzhong, and Sun Quan may plot against Xuzhou, so please take precautions.

Promise!

Yuanfu, you inform the civil and military generals in Luoyang that they will discuss tomorrow morning.

Promise!

Yuan Hao, you should go back too! Let's discuss tomorrow!

Promise!

Someone called Shi Yuan.

Promise!

After a while, Pang Tong arrived, and Zhang Jie said: Shiyuan, there is something to think about, Jie feels that you can rest assured that you can complete it. Because you just joined our army, most people don't know you.

Lord, what is the matter? Pang Tong said.

Xu You, the military advisor next to Ma Teng, was actually arranged by Jie, and in the past two years, Xu You has helped Ma Teng dominate Xiliang. Now it should be deeply trusted by Ma Teng. But these two young men have never had contact with Xu You. is afraid that Ma Teng will be suspicious.

So, now Jie wants to send you to connect with Xu You. Then set up a strategy, preferably with water and fire, without too many casualties to eliminate Ma Teng's troops in one fell swoop? Zhang Jie said.

Pang Tongdao: Is it okay to go to the unification? Just to go in what capacity? Also, after two years, will Xu Yu change his mind? He used to be Yuan Shao's man. I don't have a deep affection for the lord, so I'm afraid that he will change his mind after being by Ma Teng's side for a long time?

Zhang Jie said: You don't have to worry about this, Xu You's son and his family are all in Yecheng, and he doesn't dare to have different intentions. It's best if you go to him as a relative, such as a nephew or nephew. You can do this!
