Chapter 330: The Old Man of Xiliang Comes
"This time and that time!" Han Sui continued: "Previously, Chang'an City was ruled by Wang Yun, and after the Nanyang reinforcements arrived, the host and guest were translocated, Shou Cheng felt that Nanyang He Xian was easy to deal with? ”
Speaking of He Xian, Ma Teng immediately recalled his general Pang De, and felt a faint pain in his heart. After hearing that Pang De was captured, He Xian has been eating and drinking well, and it is clear that he wants to recruit Pang De, but Ma Teng is still unable to do anything.
"That kid thief! It is impossible to be at the mercy of Wang Yun! Ma Teng thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Yes! He Xian is not Wang Yun, Chang'an is far away from Nanyang, He Xian will not die to the end in order to control Chang'an as soon as possible, as long as I am willing to surrender, He Xian will definitely welcome it! ”
"What does Han Shuai mean, why should I wait for him to descend together?" Ma Teng was a little unbelievable, although the Xiliang army had some losses, but the most elite Xiliang iron cavalry was still complete, and there were more than 100,000 men and horses. Isn't it too cheap for that kid to come down?
"You have to fall, but you can't drop it all!" An unfamiliar voice rang out.
Ma Teng looked at it when he heard this, but it was a goatee-bearded strategist under Zhang Ji. Under Zhang Ji's signal, he said in the column.
Ma Teng had never seen this person, so he asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Gu Zang Jia Xu, I've seen all the handsome!" The goatee is neither humble nor arrogant, introducing himself. can face these extremely murderous Xiliang generals, and still maintain a calm appearance, this person's popularity is different from ordinary people, and he is an excellent strategist.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Han Sui's eyes. At the beginning, Han Sui was also a famous man in Xiliang who was a man of mouth and contribution, but he was held hostage by the Qiang Beigong Boyu and forced to kill people to become the leader of this rebel army. Although Han Sui took the opportunity to kill Beigong Boyu after taking power, the name of the thief can no longer be whitewashed, and he can only come step by step to the present.
"Jia Wen and wisdom are outstanding, and there is no last resort. Now that he is the mastermind of this general, you may as well listen to him! Zhang Ji also stood up and introduced to the generals.
"Mr. Wenhe, let's talk about it, why can't it all be surrendered?" Han Sui asked.
"Xie Hanshuai!" Jia Xu saluted and said slowly: It's not that you can't surrender, but it's not worth it. Dare to ask Han Shuai, if you are He Xian, after accepting the Xiliang Army, will you let the marshals continue to be in charge of Liangzhou? ”
Han Sui thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "No!" Liangzhou is far away from the center of the Han Dynasty, and it is not easy to stabilize it, I will choose a confidant general to sit in Liangzhou, and you can be placed in the Kanto Prefectures to cut off the possibility of Liangzhou's recovery! ”
"If half of them surrender and the other half withdraw to Liangzhou, and the above table is called a minister, will He Xian send troops to Liangzhou and persevere?" Jia Xu continued to ask.
"Nope! He Xian's roots are in Nanyang, and the importance of Kanto is much greater than that of Liangzhou. If we are called ministers, He Xian only needs to move the Son of Heaven to the Guannai and stick to the Hangu Pass, and Xiliang will not do much harm. In the next step, his gaze will inevitably turn to the Kwantung princes, after all, that's where his henchmen are in trouble! ”
"However, Chang'an still needs to stay, who will He Xian station?"
"If the Nanyang Army wants to dominate Dongguan, it can't be wasted in Chang'an, the best choice is to use Xiliang to surrender generals, and then use other ways to control elbows, then Guanxi will have no worries!" When Han Sui said this, he already understood what Jia Xu wanted to say.
The purpose of reducing half and removing half is equivalent to raising self-respect. With half of the Xiliang Army as a containment, He Xian will reuse the other half of the Xiliang Army. In this way, a delicate balance is formed. As long as the half of the Western Liang Army in Liangzhou stays in Liangzhou as their own soil emperor, and greets the emperor and General Wei during the New Year's holidays. Under the situation that the overall situation of the Kwantung region is undecided, He Xiancai will not waste troops and grain and grass to capture the remote place of Liangzhou.
"Wen and talent, it's better to do it!" Han Sui said with emotion.
The conversation between Han Sui and Jia Xu went on relatively quickly, and Ma Teng didn't fully understand the meaning, but he understood one thing: some people descended, and some people didn't. Then the next question is: who will drop and who will not? Ma Teng didn't want to surrender, and when he thought of He Xian's villain's triumphant expression, he was angry.
Niu Fu didn't want to surrender, his father-in-law Dong Zhuo was killed, and he wouldn't be reused after he descended, so it was better to go back to his hometown in Longxi and be the emperor of the soil.
Han Sui did not reject He, he had long wanted to clear his identity as an anti-thief and be an upright Han official. Under Dong Zhuo, although Han Sui won the title of General An Yuan, he came from the wrong way after all. Dong Zhuoqi is not accepted by the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. But if it is surrendered, He Xian is different. Although He Xian is not from a noble background, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty, surrounded by the royal family, one of the princes of Kwantung, and powerful.
However, Han Sui knew that he was not a good choice to descend. Among the generals of Xiliang, the most suitable one is actually Zhang Ji! Because Zhang Ji has a good nephew, this good nephew Zhang Xiu is He Xian's fellow brother. With this level of relationship alone, Zhang Ji is easier to gain He Xian's trust than others.
"What's going on, I'm afraid I have to ask Zhang Shuai!" Han Sui said with a smile.
Zhang Ji immediately expressed his panic and motioned for everyone to discuss again. Comparatively speaking, the first to surrender is the most susceptible to reuse, which is a benefit. But the downside is that in case something goes back, there is no chance of regret. And whether He Xian can reuse the reduction to what extent, it is still difficult to say, and it will take time to verify.
So, under the unanimous recommendation of several marshals, Zhang Ji became the forerunner of He and went to explore the way.
……
Inside the gate of Chang'an, He Xian summoned Xu Shu, Zhong Xuan, Gao Shun, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao to discuss the further reinforcement of Chang'an City's defenses. The Xiliang army attacked for a while, and suddenly stopped in the past few days, and there was no fighting for several days, which made He Xian a little worried. According to previous estimates, the grain and grass of the Xiliang Army can last for about three months, and now more than two months have passed, that is to say, the Xiliang Army may have realized the problem of grain and grass and planned to retreat. But according to the urine nature of the Xiliang Army's traditional goose plucking, this time they attacked Chang'an, they found nothing, and they also lost their troops, how could they swallow this breath? It is very likely that the Xiliang Army will make a desperate bet to make a big vote before retreating, so it has to be guarded against, so as not to suffer a big loss.
"Lord, there is a Xiliang Colonel under the Bacheng Gate who asks to see him, saying that he is an old friend of the lord!" The guards suddenly came to report.
"The deceased? Xiliang Elementary School? Isn't it Ma Chao? Isn't he still dead set and wants to come and pay back Pound? ”
He Xian's heart was full of doubts, and he ordered the sergeant to take the colonel to the city with a hanging basket.
"Faithful brother, don't come unharmed!"
When Xiliang Elementary School came in, He Xian understood why someone dared to call himself his "old friend". Because he is his cheap brother: Zhang Xiu, Zhang Boyuan.
