NO.370 Xiliang is in danger, and Ma Chao asks for help
"Liu Bei Pifu! I'm going to crush you to ashes! ”
Above the Jingxiang court, Ma Chao's eyes were red, his eyes were about to split, and he roared again and again. Han Sui's face was depressed, although there were many disagreements with Ma Teng's political opinions, but the two of them were also sworn brothers after all, and now that they heard the Xiliang changes, Ma Teng did not know his life and death, and Han Sui's mood was also quite gloomy.
Pang Shanmin learned of the Xiliang change since the caravan made the detailed office, so he informed Ma Chao of the matter, Ma Chao learned, angry and rushed to the crown, and borrowed troops from Pang Shanmin in the court, wanting to return to Xiliang, go straight to Chang'an, and Pang Shanmin said: If you can avenge your father, you will dedicate the land of Xiliang to Jingxiang.
Pang Shanmin did not agree to Ma Chao's request, and seeing that Ma Chao was very angry, he persuaded Ma Chao: "Meng Qi must be calm, from Pang Mou's point of view, General Shoucheng is still in the world now, the situation in Xiliang is chaotic, if Meng Qi acts recklessly, it is not to save his father, but to harm General Shoucheng!" ”
Hearing Pang Shanmin's words, Ma Chao burst into tears, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The general should not comfort Ma, his father is fierce, if he is controlled by that Liu Bei, he will not live in the world, Ma Mou now, I only ask the general to give Ma 50,000 soldiers and horses, if Ma can get Chang'an, Xiliang land, Ma is willing to give all to the general!" ”
"Meng Qi! Let's listen to what Pang said! When Pang Shanmin heard this, he lowered his face and said to Ma Chao: "If General Shoucheng is killed, there is no need for Meng Qi to ask for help, Pang should avenge General Shoucheng, Xiliang has been connected with my Jingxiang, Pang recognized the lord of Xiliang, is General Shoucheng, the crime of hurting my ally, Pang will ask that Liu Bei for return, but this happened suddenly, Pang did not know the details of Xiliang, if you act rashly, in case General Shoucheng has been captured by that Liu Bei, that is, my army has arrived in Xiliang, how should I act?" Then wouldn't Liu Bei threaten us with the life of the general? ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he didn't know how to argue, thinking of his father's distress, Ma Chao's mind was confused. said to Pang Shanmin: "What does the general think, how should Ma behave?" ”
"Wait!"
Pang Shanmin sighed lightly and said to Ma Chao: "Only now, we can only respond to all changes, if General Shoucheng is really killed, Pang will personally raise soldiers and horses to avenge him." If General Shoucheng escapes, the matter should be considered in the long run. In short, this grudge, Pang will eventually settle accounts with Meng Qi and Liu Bei! ”
Hearing this, Ma Chao nodded, hugged his fists and said to Pang Shanmin: "In this case, Ma Mou thanked the general for his help first!" ”
Ma Chao said. Leaving the Taishou Mansion with Han Sui, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the two of them walking away.
This Liu Bei always acts, it seems that he is always in a-for-tat confrontation with his Pang Shanmin, the previous Jiangxia incident is a lesson from the past, and now it is the same in Xiliang.
Originally, Pang Shanmin also planned to use the way of businessmen to Xu Tuxi Liang, but now Liu Bei has made such a big Chang'an drama. Pang Shanmin had planned before, and everything was put into the water, but now Xiliang has been meticulously made, and most of them have not returned, and Pang Shanmin does not know how much Liu Bei has controlled this Xiliang land.
And the previous connection with Xiliang was also to ally with Sun Cao and balance each other. If Liu Bei enters Xiliang, Pang Shanmin will not do anything with him no matter what, and there is a feud between him and Liu Bei. As time goes by, there is no possibility of reconciliation. So far, this connection to Xiliang exists in name only.
In other words, Jing Xiang has one less ally and one more enemy, and the current situation is quite similar to the previous Central Plains.
Thinking of this, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to Pang Tong beside him: "I never thought about it before, Pang Mou also has today, although the world is the enemy is domineering, he can be one enemy and three, Pang Mou's heart is also panicked." ”
When Pang Tong heard this, he was silent, and after a while, Pang Tong suddenly laughed and said: "Today, the princes are mostly connected in name only, and Sun Cao is connected, and in Pang's opinion, it is only to strengthen his courage, recuperate for him, and reduce variables, and the elder brother can ignore it, but Liu Bei has many bad brother events, and now, we should also settle accounts with him!" ”…,
"Shi Yuan is suggesting to be a brother and agreeing to Meng Qi's request?" When Pang Shanmin heard this, he sighed lightly and said: "Although my brother wants to get the land of Xiliang, but now Meng Qi has lost his father, if he takes Xiliang, he is taking advantage of the danger of people, and Hanzhong has decided at the beginning, if he gets Xiliang again, he will be able to overstretch for his brother, and it will be easy to get Xiliang, and it will be difficult ......to govern Xiliang."
Pang Tong didn't know that Pang Shanmin was worried, but Liu Bei rebelled against Ma Teng this time, if he didn't strangle it with the momentum of thunder, Liu Bei's momentum was even more prosperous, and Liu Bei acted without much discipline, and now that he has won Chang'an, he is not allowed to sacrifice the land and switch to Cao Cao.
After Pang Tong told Pang Shanmin everything he thought in his heart, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but sigh: "Shi Yuanyan Liu Bei voted for Cao, for his brother thought it was unlikely, Liu Bei had voted for Cao Cao before, and Cao Cao had suffered a lot of losses. ”
"If Liu Bei doesn't vote for Cao Cao, it's the best." When Pang Tong heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Then Liu Bei only has Chang'an, it will be difficult to make achievements, a lonely city, and when my Jingxiang army arrives, it will die without a place to bury!" ”
Hearing this, Pang Shanmin nodded slightly.
What Pang Tong said, it is very much in line with the wishes of Pang Shanmin, but Pang Shanmin is not clear, in addition to occupying Chang'an, Liu Bei can also plunder how many states and counties in Xiliang, now the enemy situation is unknown, Jing Xiang can only stand still, is the best choice, if you rashly enter Xiliang and Liu Bei to fight, it will be difficult to win.
Although Xiliang is economically depressed, the military is very strong, and the plains are fighting, the cavalry is the main force, and above the cavalry, Jingxiang is not better than Xiliang.
Thinking of this, Pang Shanmin said to Pang Tong: "Now Meng Qi's heart is like numbness, Shi Yuan should be more comforted, and after this incident, Han Sui in Xiliang forces, I am afraid that all of them have been incorporated by that Liu Bei, these two people are of great use to stabilize Xiliang in the future for brothers, Shi Yuan will be his brother, go to the post house, with the heart of the two of them, I don't know what Shi Yuan thinks?" ”
When Pang Tong heard this, he nodded, and took the order to go, but when he arrived at the post house, he saw Ma Chao and Han Sui had already packed up.
Seeing this, Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh: "Why should Meng Qi be like this, the matter of Xiliang, my brother has been strict in Meng Qi!" ”
"Shi Yuan don't want to persuade again, my father's life and death are uncertain now, Ma is like an arrow, and when Ma came, he ordered Bozhan to guard Tianshui, and after gaining a foothold in Xiliang, Ma sent a letter to the general about the situation in Xiliang." Ma Chao said, turned over and got on the horse, Pang Tong saw this and hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, if you go back like this, how can Pang rest assured?" And my brother has ordered someone to inquire about the whereabouts of General Shoucheng in Xiliang many times, and the news will be available in a few days. ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he hesitated in his heart, but when he saw that Han Sui beside him had turned over and dismounted, he said with a bitter face: "What Shiyuan Military Master said is extremely true, Meng Qi, even if you and I return to Tianshui, how can we avenge Shoucheng?" ”
When Pang Tong saw that Han Sui listened to his admonition, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly persuaded again: "Meng Qi quickly dismounted, and followed Pang to discuss the matter of sending troops, if we get the message of General Shoucheng, we can act immediately!" ”
Ma Chao saw that Pang Tong's feelings were sincere, and he was moved in his heart, and said to Pang Tong: "This will bother Shiyuan." ”
Seeing that Ma Chao was finally persuaded to get down, Pang Tong led Ma Chao, Han Sui and the two entered the post house, asked Ma Chao for a map of Xiliang, spread out the case, and said to Ma Chao: "Pang wants to ask Meng Qi, if General Shoucheng escapes from Chang'an, what do you want to do?" If General Shoucheng encounters misfortune, what do you want to do? ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he said without thinking: "Ma and Liu Bei have a grudge against each other, no matter whether his father is safe or not, Ma will always settle accounts with that Liu Bei!" ”
Pang Tong nodded slightly, and secretly said that Ma Chao's reaction was no different from what he expected before, this Liu Bei acted in Chang'an, it was too bad, Ma Chao and his endless death, it was also reasonable, but now the situation in Xiliang is no longer under the control of the Ma family, and Pang Tong does not know that after Liu Bei rebelled, how many Xiliang generals have surrendered to Cheng and plundered how much land in Xiliang. …,
Thinking of this, Pang Tongyi's face was solemn, and he said to Ma Chao and Han Sui: "Looking at it from the perspective of the two, how many places in Xiliang are there now that are controlled by the two?" ”
"Tianshui County, under the rule of Nai Bozhan, is far away from Chang'an, Liu Bei has no spare strength to attack this place!" Ma Chao said, and said proudly: "And my brother Ma Dai is well-known in the army, Liu Bei is the army is all together, and it is difficult to go to Tianshui in a moment!" ”
"Wuwei is the place where Han and Shoucheng started to fight, and the Han and Qiang in the county live together, and the people only recognize Shoucheng, and Han is respected." Han Sui said with a wry smile and said: "And Wuwei is barren, Liu Bei should not be very interested in this place." ”
Pang Tong heard the words of the two, nodded, and said, "If this is the case, the situation in Xiliang is not too chaotic." ”
Seeing that Pang Tong said easily, Ma Chao and Han Sui were all stunned, Pang Tong saw that the two of them looked puzzled, and couldn't help laughing: "Liu Bei's actions have never been atmospheric enough, even if Xu Shu is complementary, it is difficult to hide his ambition and talent, if you don't have Tianshui, Wuwei two counties, you Xiliang only have one county left, it is Liu Bei's gains, what can you do?" In addition to Chang'an, Liu Bei only has one county town left, and two counties remain, how can he resist my Jingxiang army? ”
Pang Tong said, Ma Chao, Han Sui looked a little calm, Pang Tong saw this and said: "With Xu Shu acting, Chang'an is now afraid that it has been completely controlled by Liu Bei, and whether Anding falls into Liu Bei's Zhou is debatable, Liu Bei is only so powerful, why should the two of them be so worried?" My elder brother has made many plans for the situation in Xiliang in his heart, Meng Qi should be a little restless, and wait for the news of General Shoucheng to make plans, wouldn't it be better? ”
Ma Chao heard Pang Tong's words, looked at Han Sui and sighed, and secretly said in his heart that Pang Tong had all the good things to say, and the situation in Xiliang was indeed as Pang Tong said, it was not as unbearable as it looked on the surface.
Seeing Pang Tong's concerned eyes, Ma Chao nodded and said: "According to Shi Yuan's arrangement, Ma will wait for a few days in Jingxiang again, wait for the news of his father, and ask Shi Yuan to make more good words in front of the general and help Ma!" (To be continued)
