The years are ruthless, under the cutting of the crazy years of scrapers, no one can resist it, Ma Teng is old! The vigorous gray beard almost covered half of his face, and the fierce generals who were able to fight with Pound for dozens of rounds with a straight waist back now can hardly even straighten their waists; Han Sui is the same, the two old men are dressed in a special ceremony on this special day, what day is today? Uncle Liu Huang, who is in Shu and has spread benevolence and righteousness, wants to meet them! Yes, it's an interview!

Hanzhong Zhang Lu has been destroyed not long ago, and he has no ability to resist, Liu Bei showed military strength to scare his neighbors Ma Teng and Han Sui very much, their two brothers and brothers, themselves are fighting to the death, especially when Ma Chao shot angrily, summoned a stick of fierce men to rush and ram them almost to the end, and they united again; After that, it is divided and merged, if there is an enemy, they will unite, and if there is no enemy, they will play by themselves, so to speak, the two of them have never stopped; Liu Bei said in Hanzhong that he wanted to ally with them, so these two came to meet them; Once, Ma Teng and Han Sui could look down on Liu Bei, a straw shoe seller, but now Liu Bei has become one of the few people who can fight with Cao Cao, especially after Cao Cao hit Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, the momentum was monstrous, and the two of them were even more anxious, hoping to find allies; Some people are just unwilling to be lonely, they would rather be the first head, not oxtail, Ma Teng, Han Sui's so-called slogan of loyalty to the Han family is actually just shouting, I haven't seen him go to visit the little emperor over the years, in fact, they know that Cao Cao's ministers are like clouds, and the generals are like rain, and it is rare to reuse, so they don't go; There are two young people who have the same idea as them, both of whom are respected by Liu Bei, one is Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, and the other is Wolong-Zhuge Liang! Not long ago, they had become Liu Bei's military advisers; There are "five masters", Wu has "three guns" and "four fierce", which is roughly the top people under Liu Bei, the so-called five masters refer to Mr. Dumb, Zhuge Kongming, Xu Shu, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, each of these five people has extraordinary insights and has their own strengths; The three guns are Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, and Zhang Xiu, the three brothers, especially Zhang Ren, he is not a figure that can be measured by force alone, this is a handsome talent, both civil and military, and Liu Bei's subordinates can compare with Guan Yu; Four fierce, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Chen Zhi, it is said that Chen Zhi is really a fierce man, he can almost be compared with Zhang Xiu in martial arts, and his ability to command troops is not inferior to these generals, which is also a surprise for Liu Bei; In addition, there are the veteran Yan Yan, the barbarian king Meng Huo, the up-and-coming Li Yan, the former Yellow Turban Army Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, all of which are the results of Liu Bei's painstaking management, all of which are very good. After Zhuge Liang came, he talked to Liu Bei for the first time, and he tied Liu Bei's heart, and his suggestion was to annex Ma Teng and Han Sui to occupy Yongliang by bloodless means, and then get rid of Liu Biao, an unenterprising goods, take Jiangdong directly, and divide the north and south with Cao Cao!

It seems good, but the difficulty of implementing it is not small!

"Brother Shoucheng! Brother Wenyue! Long time no see! Liu Bei is polite! Liu Bei was full of red faces, he gave up Xuzhou a few years ago, who would have thought that he would be able to have a better territory than Xuzhou so soon? Maybe it's only Mr. Dumb who formulated this long-term strategy for him in the first place! At least in the eyes of Ma Teng and Han Sui, this is simply incredible; "Uncle Liu Huang is polite!" , Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly saluted, Liu Bei was very happy to invite them to the big tent, and suddenly saw that Ma Teng and Han Sui each had a general behind them, and they all looked extraordinary; "Who are these two?" , Liu Bei asked; "This is Pang De, Pang Lingming!" "This is Yan Xing!" My son-in-law! Ma Teng and Han Sui respectively introduced; Needless to say, who is Yan Xing? This guy is amazing! I think I almost killed Ma Chao when he was fourteen or fifteen years old! He is not a master who can fight and rush, he is also a man with brains; For example, this time the alliance, Yan Xing did not recommend Han Sui to do this, now that the situation in the world is clear, why not find a solid support, but what kind of alliance will he build? Such alliances are the product of fragility, and he advises:

"The general has been in the army for 30 years, the people and soldiers are exhausted, and the place they occupy is narrow, so they should find someone to rely on as soon as possible. Liu Bei is uneasy and kind, we can only become his stepping stone if we go, and we can't get any benefits, why don't we take refuge in Cao Cao? Cao Cao is broad-minded and won't care about the past festivals! ”

It's a pity that his arms can't twist his thighs, Han Sui insists on forming an alliance with Liu Bei, becoming someone else's ally and becoming someone else's subordinate are two different concepts! This is Han Sui's thoughts, he thinks that allies can be thrown away at any time, but his subordinates are different!

It's all outdated thinking, what's the reward if you don't pay? Yan Xing despises Han Sui very much in his heart, will Liu Bei let you go? People will be stupid to give you benefits, but you don't do things?

Hearing the introduction of the two, Liu Bei exclaimed: "They are all good generals in the world, good materials and beautiful jade!" Come on, come on! Eat and drink with me! I respect the two generals Gao Yi, now Hebei Yuan Shao is defeated, Cao thief is getting stronger and stronger, although I Liu Bei has the intention of reviving the Han family, but suffering from a single strength! Helpless, only the Quartet pays the heroes and raises the righteousness together! ”

Ma Teng sighed: "Yes! Cao Cao is even more than Yuan Shao now! Yuan Shao is too, an army of millions! was killed by Cao Cao like this! Don't talk about that! Come on, come on! I also salute Uncle Huang! ”

A few people were so unhappy to eat and talk, the dumb gentleman behind Liu Bei squinted at Ma Teng and Han Sui thinking about something, and soon after, these three people made a bloody alliance, and then, Liu Bei also sent them away; Mr. Dumb had already written a lot of handwriting on the bamboo slips and handed them to Liu Bei to see; Ma Teng is brave and unscrupulous, there is no need to worry, Han Sui is treacherous and capricious, it is advisable to get rid of him as soon as possible, after removing him, you can hold Ma Teng hostage and occupy Yongliang!

Liu Bei took this book, looked at Mr. Dumb, Mr. Dumb nodded, got up and walked away, he has been very old in recent years, his back is very rickety, and occasionally coughs for a while, Liu Bei is very distressed when he sees it, he closes his eyes, and has thousands of thoughts in his heart, when he opens his eyes, a smile blooms at the corner of his mouth!
