Xiping, Wuwei, these are the two major cities in Liangzhou, the relationship between the two cities has always been very good in the past, if there is something, as long as you send someone to summon the message, its people will come.

However, in recent times, the relationship between the two cities has deteriorated rapidly, and each other has quickly turned hostile to each other, and there is even a posture of preparing for a confrontation.

Faced with such a situation, almost everyone in the two cities was very nervous, for fear that one of them would accidentally affect the pond fish.

There is only one reason why this is the case, that is, Wuwei belongs to Ma Teng, and Xiping is ruled by Han Sui.

Originally, the relationship between the Ma and Han families has always been excellent, so if there is something to do with each other, they will naturally support each other, and Xiping and Wuwei can also be said to be horns of each other.

It's a pity that Ma Teng and Han Sui were lured out of the greed in their hearts by Zhou Yu's promise, and wanted to take the opportunity to annex the other party, but the result was a split, and with such a split, it is naturally impossible to return to the same as before.

In fact, for some time now, the two cities have ordered martial law on each other.

Originally, this was nothing, but Wei Tao wanted to maintain his strength after Si Li's defeat of the two armies and the defeat of the two armies, so he naturally wanted to annex the other party, and only in this way could he resist Wei Tao's invasion.

It's a pity that this time Wei Tao didn't mean to continue to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

In fact, Wei Tao understood before that whether it was Ma Teng or Han Sui, these two people were rational, and they were by no means the reckless and impatient Ma Chao in history.

So as long as the two of them are there, even if the two families finally annex all the strength of the other family, then the final result is mostly because one is a subordinate of the other.

It will never be said to be exterminated. Therefore, there may be a battle between the two armies, but it is definitely not too fierce.

Therefore, instead of dreaming that if you want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, then it is better to march directly and take advantage of the low morale of the other party's soldiers to win the entire Xiliang in one fell swoop.

Of course, if Wei Tao could take the opportunity to kill Ma Teng before, then Wei Tao would never enter Xiliang at this time and wait for the civil strife in Xiliang.

Ma Chao is young, and in the face of Han Sui's annexation, he must be dead and broken, and he will never compromise.

But since that Ma Teng is fine. Wei Tao's abacus naturally couldn't be played. can only be soldiers into Xiliang.

Ten days later, Wei Tao's vanguard army has entered Liangzhou, but now the two cities of Xiping and Wuwei are now. With Wei Tao's strength, he can only take one of them first. If it's the same as the previous battle. Wei Tao has no choice, but he is guaranteed to succeed.

"Huh...... You are all here, and now Xiping and Wuwei are in front, and you want to get off Ma Teng and Han Sui. What should I do? ”

Wei Tao did not attack blindly, but gathered all the ministers and generals under his command, and then asked lightly.

"My lord, that Ma Teng and Han Sui have been divided, and we are attacking one side and going down one by one. If the other side comes to help regardless of the suspicions, then we can ambush it, with the remnants of Ma Teng and Han Sui, can we stop our army? ”

Although there is not necessarily the wisdom of Zhou Yu, Xun You, and Zhuge Jin, most of the generals under Wei Tao can stand alone, after hearing Wei Tao's question, after a little thought, Xu Huang just spoke.

"Lord, what Gongming said is extremely true, and we can still shake a shot, first storm a city, make it appear small, and then let it ask for help from the other side, at this time we are using the golden cicada to get out of the shell, leaving only a small number of men and horses to guard its city, and then its army is marching quickly, taking advantage of its lack of reaction to attack in one fell swoop, it will definitely be a complete victory, and then take a city."

At this time, Wei Yan also spoke, he was quite adventurous, so he used a strange trick.

"As long as we can get down one city, then we can pretend to be its reinforcements, and then use this to deceive the gate of another city, and then break in in one fell swoop, and then Xiping and Wuwei can go down!"

Hearing what Wei Yan said, Wei Tao couldn't help but nod slightly, not only Wei Tao, but also all other generals, even Xu Huang, after all, if it can be achieved like this, it will only be three months at most, and Liangzhou can be taken down, which is not a small temptation.

However, although Wei Tao already had some agreement in his heart, he still set his eyes on Chen Qun, the strategist who was traveling with the army this time.

"Changwen, you are now under my command. Even though you are a new investor, I also believe in you. If you have any strategy, please speak bluntly. ”

Wei Tao's words are already very clear, if Chen Qun really doesn't have a better plan, Wei Tao will not blame, but he will definitely look down on it in the future, and it is not easy to be reused.

And if Chen Qun has a plan and is unwilling to offer it, then naturally there is no need to say much, even Wei Tao can't stand such a subordinate.

"With the current strength of the lord, it is not difficult to break Xiliang. I also saw and heard about the previous war, and after that war, Ma Teng and Han Sui had already lost their courage, and now the lord wants to do it again, it is not difficult. General Wei Yan's plan can be described as brilliant. As long as the lord does what he does, there is a seventy percent chance that he will do it in one fell swoop. ”

Chen Qun really didn't mean to hide it, he smiled slightly and said, hearing Chen Qun's words, Wei Yan was quite happy, after all, seventy percent of the possibility is not low.

However, Wei Tao did not respond immediately, because Chen Qun's words had already revealed another meaning, that is, he did not approve of this immediately.

"If there is anything to say in the long article, please speak it."

"If the lord is only for the sake of Xiliang, then General Wei Yan's strategy is enough, but if the lord is for his ambition and for the Han border, then it is just like this, but it is insufficient."

Chen Qun smiled slightly, and said calmly, he already knew about Wei Tao and his person, but now that he saw Wei Tao, he just asked patiently, not embarrassed and impatient, and immediately had a good impression of Wei Tao, and what he said was more eager.

"The Xiqiang clan was originally suppressed by Han Sui and Ma Teng, and it can also be said to be subdued. Even if the lord's army pressed into this, it would only continue to be like this. If what the lord seeks is to calm the border troubles and protect the safety of the Han Dynasty for all eternity, then this alone is not enough. ”

"What Changwen said is also true, if it is only for this, it is indeed not so necessary for me to lead the troops here, but since Changwen can be seen here, then it will not be nothing, right?"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, but instead handed the question back to Chen Qun.

Chen Qun is not an incompetent person, and when he heard Wei Tao ask this, he still nodded unhurriedly.

"The Lord of Qi, in fact, to serve the foreign clans, it is just a matter of grace and power, and then supplemented by the means of the Lord's education. Although it is heard that some Qiang people are indeed bullying our Han people by virtue of their height and strength, in this Xiliang, they are still just ordinary people, if Ma Teng or Han Sui's soldiers are insufficient, they will often take Xiqiang as a soldier first. And so it is also a matter of suffering. ”

Chen Qun said with a slight smile.

"If it can win, there will be a reward, those barbarians are willing to die, but if they lose, there is no compensation to speak of, but it will consume the strength of their tribe, and they will not be able to compete with the Han in the future."

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and then understood what Chen Qun said, according to what Chen Qun said, it seems to be more beneficial to him to prolong the war like this?

Once the Qiang tribe was recruited by Ma Teng and Han Sui, they naturally did not dare not come, once they came, Wei Tao was confident that he would definitely not be his opponent, wouldn't he be able to gradually weaken the strength of the Qiang tribe when the time came?

And after the strength of the Qiang people is weak, they will defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui in one fell swoop, and then show grace to the Qiang people to collect their hearts, and then sinicize them, and then the so-called Qiang people and the Han will no longer share each other.

After careful consideration in his heart, Wei Tao found that this was indeed the case, and only in this way could he better achieve his goal.

But it's not easy to do the same.

"Changwen also knows that Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated by me, and now the strength has been greatly reduced before retreating to Xiliang, and now my troops have entered Liangzhou, I am afraid that they will rely on Xiping and Wuwei to fight with me, even if my soldiers are elite, but if the city is attacked, the damage will be great, and then I am afraid that it will not be me who consumes its military strength, but Xiliang who consumes the strength of our army!"

"I also understand the meaning of the lord, but please rest assured, unless Na Ma Teng and Han Sui have no intention of fighting with the lord, they will definitely not retreat into the city. It's just that I don't know if it will unite this time. If it is a union, even if it is not intimate, it is not easy to guard against the attack of the two sides. ”

Hearing Chen Qun's words, there were many confused people among the generals in the tent, but they didn't understand why Na Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't compete with Wei Tao for Xiping and Wuwei, but instead asked the lord to attack.

"What the long article says is true."

However, Wei Tao actually thought of this early on, and couldn't help nodding slightly at this time.

"I came to attack Liangzhou, if Na Ma Teng and Han Sui did not fight with me, they would shrink into the city, then their morale would fall again and again, and they would not be able to compete with me at all, so if they had the heart, then they must first fight with me, and if the situation was unfavorable, they would avoid fighting Xiping and Wuwei. Only in this way can it be possible to resist my attack. Originally, I intended to break it in a war, but now that the long article has said this, then I will fight with it in a stalemate. ”

Wei Tao said very easily, but hearing Chen Qun's ears made him frown secretly, and after hesitating for a while, Chen Qun was the only one who spoke.

"Lord, the elite soldiers of Xiliang, although they have been defeated by the lord before, but the lord must not be taken lightly, if not, I am afraid it will be a worry about the loss of the soldiers."

Hearing Chen Qun's persuasion, Wei Tao's generals were still a little displeased, but Wei Tao smiled and nodded, but he felt that Chen Qun was loyal and did not have the slightest mustard.

"It's a long article and rest assured, I know the strength of the Xiliang soldiers, and I will definitely not act recklessly. If there are people in our army who are arrogant, I will send them back to Jizhou to defend the city! ”

The last sentence was to look at the generals in the tent.

Hearing Wei Tao say this, everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, even if it was a little contemptuous, they were all missing at this time.

(Thank God?) Ye No Wukong's reward, and thank you for your support, thank you! (To be continued......)
