Ma Teng is at this age, he has experienced a lot of things, he deeply understands that people's hearts are unpredictable and they guard against each other, so that the forces in Liangzhou cannot work together to resist the attack of the Gaoshun forces, and if they resist, they will definitely be defeated.

He understands better that too much has led to disasters, but he can't jump out of the constraints of **.

Ma Teng knew the situation of Gaoshun's forces very well, civilian officials did not care about the army and defense, military attachés did not interfere in administrative affairs, and the military and government were separated; Even so, in order to strengthen the control of the army, Gao Shun set up a military division in each state, the military division has the power to command the transfer of the army, but has no control, the military attache has control over the army, but has no power to transfer, mutual supervision, mutual containment, the control of the army is very strict, far beyond the imperial court, even if he will serve as a lieutenant general in the future, it is just a chess piece or sharp blade in Gao Shun's hands to undertake the task of charging into battle.

Since ancient times, there have been many facts that prove that it is a fatal mistake to put one's fate in the hands of others, and Ma Teng does not want to worship others as the master and be controlled by others, after all, worshipping the Lord and being loyal to the court are two different concepts; If he doesn't worship Gao Shun as the Lord, he is worried about whether he can be reused? We don't know yet.

At the beginning, he betrayed the Yuan family, took refuge in the imperial court, and devoted himself to the Han, but the imperial court was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and in a fit of anger, he rebelled again, only he understood in his heart that he rebelled against Dong Zhuo, not the imperial court, but unfortunately no one in the world understood his inner suffering, and they all regarded him as a traitor.

Faced with the choice of fate, Ma Teng is very conflicted.

However, after he claimed to be the general of Fubo, he still had a certain loyalty to the imperial court, and now he was forced by the situation, he had to make a choice as soon as possible, is it a war? Is it down?

After two days of consideration, in the end, Ma Tengli's wisdom defeated greed, and he decided to accept Gao Shun's forces and take refuge in Gao Shun, which is not necessarily a bad thing at present.

Yang Hui was overjoyed, immediately wrote a letter, and Pegasus informed the military advisor to ask for the latest instructions, and prepare to take over Longxi County; He himself continued to negotiate specific matters with Ma Teng; He is not in a hurry to go to Jincheng County now, if Ma Teng's forces are successfully recruited, this is a great achievement of his, it must be consolidated, and this is more conducive to recruiting Han Sui of Jincheng County.

Gao Shun was irritable because of the matter of the eldest princess, and was ready to go to Hanyang County, if Ma Teng and Han Sui dared to refuse Zhao'an, they would kill them to vent the anger in their hearts.

From the system, the Wutun senior cavalry and the fifteenth junior cavalry were released, plus the senior cavalry escort of the previous department, a total of five divisions were formed, led by a senior general, as his escort.

The military advisor was frustrated; Zhonglang generals Fan Cai and Cheng Zhi each led 10,000 cavalry to escort the front and rear; Only Guan Hai's 20,000 infantry and Zhou Fei's 5,000 guards remained in Chang'an City.

It was all cavalry, and the baggage carried was very small, and the journey of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers was very fast, and when Yang Hui sent back the messenger to return to Ji County, Gao Shun had been in Ji County for more than three days.

After receiving Yang Hui's report, Gao Shun was overjoyed, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and there was a result in such a short period of time, so he immediately negotiated with Fu Zhu about the next matters.

Gao Shun decided that Yang Hui would be appointed as the Taishou of Hanyang County, and appointed a senior military attache as the governor of Hanyang County; Zhonglang will assist in the defense of Hanyang County and stationed in Ji County.

Before the arrival of Taishou Yanghui, government affairs were presided over by the county Cheng.

Tiaoyi served as the Taishou of Longxi County, continued to serve as the general of Zhonglang, and led 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 Xiandeng battalions and 10,000 infantry under his direct jurisdiction to receive Longxi County; Sima Li Meng of the other department led 3,000 cavalry, continued to return to the jurisdiction of Yi, and went to Longxi County together.

Fu Zhu agreed with Gao Shun's opinion, Yi was familiar with Jincheng County, and having him serve as the Taishou of Longxi County could put more pressure on Han Sui.

Yi had no objection to Gao Shun's arrangement, and when he prepared for a day, he led the cavalry to set off first; Li Meng served as the vanguard in the front, and the infantry escorted the grain and grass behind.

Gao Shun and the military advisor Fu Zhi, as well as the 10,000 cavalry led by the guards and Cheng Zhi, followed the cavalry of Zaiyi.

Gao Shun knew that as long as Ma Teng decided to recruit An, he would not go back on his word, and he wanted to walk with Yi, but he was stopped by Yihe on the grounds of safety, as long as he was one foot behind.

Waiting for Yi to arrive at the county seat of Didao first, quickly took over the defense of the county, and welcomed the arrival of Gao Shun.

Ma Teng was extremely cooperative with Yi's orders, and the 30,000 Qiang and Han officers and soldiers in the county were ordered not to leave the barracks and wait to be recruited; He himself gave up the Taishou Mansion and chose another house for his family to live in.

With the assistance of Yang Hui and the cooperation of Ma Teng, everything went very smoothly.

The next day, Gao Shun and Fu Zhu and others arrived at the county seat of Didao and were warmly welcomed by everyone.

The next priority is the reorganization of the army and the resettlement of family members.

Due to Ma Teng's strong cooperation, Gao Shun was greatly satisfied, and decided to equip him with ten cavalry; He didn't care about his lack of worship of the Lord.

The first 5,000 cavalry was given priority to Ma Teng, and Gao Shun placed some tun commanders in it, and all the military marquis were middle-level military attachés.

To Gao Shun's surprise, he saw a familiar name in the list of officers who had been recruited, and Pang De was very happy in his heart, and immediately asked people to invite him to prepare for inspection.

Among the officers who have been recruited, the highest military rank is the commander of the tun, although the salary has been increased, but the position has been reduced, Pound De was worried, suddenly received an order summoned by Gao Shun, and was shocked, is there something wrong? With a nervous mood, he followed the herald to the Taishou Mansion.

Salute Gao Shun according to etiquette.

Gao Shun immediately checked Pang De's attributes, 21 years old, force value 91, intelligence 62, commander 81, politics 53, very good attributes, mainly because his age is not very old, and there is room for improvement.

Ma Teng hurriedly introduced: "Junhou, this is Pang De, the word Lingming, a native of Hanyang County, has defected to his subordinates for two years, fought bravely, made outstanding achievements, and has been promoted to the position of Sima of other departments. ”

Gao Shun was very happy, with Pang De's attributes, it was enough to serve as a lieutenant general, so he said: "Since Ling Ming is already the post of Sima of other departments, then continue to serve as Sima of other departments, and you can go to the newly adapted cavalry to choose six parts." ”

Pound was overjoyed in his heart, it turned out to be such a good thing, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, lord!" ”

Ma Teng's heart trembled, Gao Shun really got it, and he won the loyalty of a young general so easily; However, since he has accepted Zhao'an, with his calmness, he will not show his dissatisfaction on his face.

Gao Shun planned to wait for Zhao'an or pacify Han Sui and other small forces, and then transfer Ma Teng and Pang De to other states and counties.

The next thing was handled by Yihe and Fu Zhu and others, and Gao Shun occasionally went to the military camp to see the training of the army, and had a discussion with Pang De, Cheng Zhi and others to kill time.

Ma Teng is also using his brains, thinking about how to have a good relationship with Gao Shun without worshipping Gao Shun as the main thing, and not being excluded and suppressed.

When the whole county was rumored that Gao Shun was strong in martial arts, Ma Teng had an idea and thought of a way, that is, to let his son Ma Chao worship Gao Shun as a teacher, so that he could be on an equal footing with Gao Shun.

Discuss this idea with Ma Chao, Ma Chao has already learned that Gao Shun is a master of guns, and even Pang De is willing to bow down, he likes it very much in his heart, and immediately agrees.

Ma Chao is 15 years old this year, with extraordinary combat power, good use of spears, and is known as "Jianyong".

The next day, Ma Teng took Ma Chao to see Gao Shun and asked Gao Shun to accept Ma Chao as an apprentice; Gao Shun didn't think about it and immediately vetoed it.

Ma Teng regretted it in his heart, if he had thought of this earlier, he could have raised it before Zhao'an, and Gao Shun would definitely agree, but it was too late.

However, Gao Shun pondered for a while, saw Ma Teng's face, and knew that he had misunderstood, so he explained: "Haha, Shoucheng misunderstood, Fei Shun is unwilling to accept Ling Lang as an apprentice, he is really entangled in official duties, and he has no time to practice his own martial arts, not to mention the apprenticeship, wouldn't it be a mistake for people's children?" Shunguan Linglang is a good seedling to practice martial arts, and he likes marksmanship, so in order not to delay his growth, Shun Si chose a division for him. ”

Ma Teng was overjoyed in his heart, it turned out that Gao Shun despised him, and hurriedly asked, "Who did the prince choose?" ”
