Chapter 33: Han Sui and Ma Teng
"Knock knock knock", the passionate sound of war drums woke up the Xiliang coalition army, making them jump up in panic in their sleep, wearing armor and weapons, and urgently gathered together, but... They found that this was a false alarm;
No one attacked them, but there were indeed soldiers and horses who appeared not far from them, and the banner of the word Huangfu was hung high, indicating that the reinforcements of the Han court were coming, and the people who came to support also made them jealous;
Huangfu Song is famous, who dares to underestimate it easily? For this reason, the nominal leader of the kingdom found Han Sui and Ma Teng to discuss the matter together to see how to deal with the current situation.
is known as a Xiliang celebrity, but he is far from Han Sui and Jia Xu, who are also Xiliang celebrities, except for the kung fu on his lips, he can be said to be useless in other places, this is definitely not to underestimate him!
His face was pale, his lips were purple, and his hands kept kneading each other, looking at his performance at this time, he fully expressed the uneasiness and fear in his heart, and also made Han Sui and Ma Teng secretly despise it, if it weren't for the strategic need, they wouldn't have let the kingdom come up!
The kingdom acts as the leader, which can attract the hatred of public opinion for them, after all, the banner they erected is the side of the Qing monarch and the eunuchs, and the kingdom is a famous scholar and a pioneer among the scholars.
In addition, with the kingdom, their rebellion is different from the previous rebellions in righteousness, and they now call themselves righteous soldiers, otherwise how could people from all over Liangzhou respond one after another? These are all benefits in the name of the Kingdom;
The image of a Confucian scholar who is over fifty years old is what the kingdom looks like now, it seems that the fairy wind is bone, and the characters in the clouds are not too calm to lower the evaluation of others, and finally stabilize the emotions in his heart, the kingdom asked astringently: "Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are coming, do you have a countermeasure?" ”
"Don't worry, Lord Thorn! I have sent a sentry horse to report that Huangfu Song has only 10,000 soldiers and horses with him, and the general Zhang Wen has not yet moved, so there is no need to worry, after all, their number of soldiers and horses is less than half of ours! With a three-inch goatee under his chin and an exotic dress, the former celebrity Han Sui successfully integrated into the world of the Qiang people, dressed the same as them;
After appeasing the kingdom for a few words, Han Sui and Ma Teng walked out of the big tent, for them, the kingdom was just a signboard to be used, what nonsense to talk to him? The place where they really made their decisions was not in the Great Tent of the Kingdom, but in the Great Horde of Hansui;
Han Sui sat in the main seat, Ma Teng sat at the bottom, and Li Xiangru, the former Taishou of Longxi, Huang Yan, the former Taishou of Jiuquan, and others sat down in turn and began to discuss the military situation;
"Chen Cang can't be attacked for a long time, our army has no food and grass, and it will be in vain to fight again, Huangfu Song, the old fox, must have seen the weakness of our labor expedition and supply difficulties, which will appear just right, my suggestion is... Back to Xiliang! Han Sui said to himself, and did not look at the reaction of the people below;
The most fierce reaction is Longxi Taishou Li Zhang, Li Xiangru, he is a "party man", a radical scholar members, he was not affected by the disaster of the party in Xiliang, for this...
The idea was very strange, but at that time, many people really wanted to be a member of the party at all costs, otherwise they would feel ashamed, and some people paid the price of their lives for this, and of course these party members were also very respected by the scholars...
Li Xiangru was deeply ashamed because he did not become a member of the party, and this time he wanted to use this rebellion to complete the feat of eliminating eunuchs and Qing monarchs, and establish his tall image in Shilin, Han Sui wanted to withdraw from the army, which was undoubtedly contrary to his hopes, how could he agree?
"Retirement? How does this work? Li Xiangru almost screamed and shouted: "If you don't get rid of the eunuchs, there will be no peace in the world!" We have already come to this point, as long as we capture the old capital of Chang'an and raise the banner, like-minded people will gather in all directions to exterminate the eunuch party is not far away! When the time comes, we will all be heroes of the Imperial Court..."
"Enough!" , Ma Teng shouted angrily, overturned the small couch in front of him directly, and the eight-foot-tall figure stood up suddenly, and the tiger's eyes widened angrily: "Li Xiangru!" Are you trying to kill everyone? Boastful! How dare you be presumptuous here?
Do you know that if we wait any longer, we will have to kill horses to satisfy our hunger? Do you know how much grain and grass more than 100,000 soldiers consume every day? Is morale high or low right now? Are the soldiers willing to fight to the death... I don't know anything and dare to make such a big talk! I...
"Brother Shoucheng! Forget it! Han Sui looked at the angry Ma Teng and hurriedly stopped him, got up and pulled him aside, and whispered: "Don't have any more civil strife!" Otherwise, I won't have a place to die! ”
"Humph!" , Ma Teng snorted and sat in his position sullenly, not that he wanted to scold Li Xiangru, but that he wanted to scold him on behalf of all the soldiers, there were no less than 20,000 dead and wounded soldiers in the attack on Chencang, and the soldiers had long been dissatisfied, especially the soldiers of the Qiang tribe, who had not received any benefits but continuous casualties, and they had long been unwilling to fight;
Now the Qiang people of various tribes are more on the sidelines, no longer coming forward to fight, and the losses are bound to be Han soldiers under Ma Teng, so it's no wonder that he is not angry! If it weren't for Geng Contempt's Liangzhou assassin history being too ridiculous and unreasonable, he Ma Teng would not have become a rebel!
The more he thought about it, the more angry Ma Teng became, his eyes were fierce, and Li Xiangru, who was staring at him, originally wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to speak, in terms of overall strength, he only had more than 10,000 people under him, and in terms of personal strength... Can a literati be the opponent of Ma Teng?
"The purpose of our rebel army this time is to clear the monarch's side, except for the eunuchs, everyone has the same goal to cooperate sincerely, and can no longer be vivid, but at present, we are on an expedition, Chen Cang is not able to attack for a long time, and the grain and grass are exhausted, and we can still retreat at this time, if it is late, we will definitely be bitten by Huangfu Song, and eaten one bite at a time!
Han is not talented, he still has a little experience in military strategy, believe me, let's withdraw to Xiliang and make a comeback after being fully prepared, if you don't believe me, you can only say sorry, we won't accompany you to die! Han Sui said slowly with a threatening tone;
Everyone was in their hearts, and they all expressed their willingness to obey orders, only Li Xiangru's expression was uncertain, and he was still dreaming of his own sweet dreams and was unwilling to wake up, so this self-sacrificing brother decided to take his more than 10,000 men and horses to continue the siege in Chencang, and cut off the queen for everyone...
What a great feeling? Han Sui sighed, and everyone also expressed their admiration and admiration for Comrade Li Zhang and Li Xiangru!
After everyone left, Han Sui left Ma Teng, he had his own thoughts in his heart, and he saw that only Ma Teng was a person who could cooperate with this group of people, so he planned to conspire with Ma Teng, of course, he first had to test Ma Teng's mind;
How can you cooperate without like-mindedness? How can we work together without common interests?
