Although Wei Tao and Ma Chao made a covenant to fight again, in fact, it is impossible to fight like before, at most it is a private fight.

And after learning about the plans of Ma Teng, Han Sui and others from Zhou Yu, Wei Tao also felt funny.

But in fact, the same is true, don't look at Si Li, who used to be the center of the Han Dynasty and had a prosperous population, but in fact, it is now in decline.

Not to mention anything else, even if it is the current Palace of the Son of Heaven, it sounds good, but it is actually dilapidated.

After all, Dong Zhuo's decision to move the capital was so sudden, and after a series of things, no one could care about building the palace, so it really didn't matter.

It can even be said that if Wei Tao was not supplied with military rations, relying solely on the self-sufficiency of his subordinates, then even Liu Xie might not be able to eat a few full meals.

Let Liu Xie control Si Li is a joke among jokes, who else is under Liu Xie?

If it weren't for Zhou Yu's plan to divide Ma and Han, Wei Tao wouldn't be too concerned about this division.

Compared with such a little thing, Wei Tao might as well focus more on fighting with Ma Chao and others, at least, so that he can deter the Qiang people and work hard for his ambitions.

In fact, this is also the case, although Ma Teng and Han Sui thought very well, but it was not easy to implement it, Liu Xie had no one in his hands, and he wanted to find someone, but he didn't know if he was loyal.

barely made it for three months, but Si Li still didn't feel like he was in Liu Xie's hands, but Xi Liang gradually had a feeling that he wanted to seize Si Li.

At least in the past three months, both the Cao army and the Wei army have gradually retreated.

Wei Tao was to recuperate, while Cao Cao was because the attack on Yangzhou was successful. There is a greater need to deploy troops.

In such a situation. It is naturally not surprising that Si Li fell into the hands of the Xiliang army. Even Liu Xie has already found that he has returned to the result of being held by others.

This is also a matter of course, who let Liu Xie not have much real power in his hands, so he was easily plotted.

And when they really have mastered Si Li, and will continue to master Si Li, is the Xiliang army willing to give up their achievements just like that?

Maybe someone is willing, but Han Sui is unwilling.

Han Sui is quite cunning, but he is still a good coach. But treacherous people are more or less greedy, and now in the face of such a big temptation, no matter how small the greed is, it will be magnified, and Han Sui naturally can't let go easily.

Even Han Sui wanted to go further.

You have to know how Dong Zhuo was in the past, and what about Yuan Shao?

No, it's the same, after occupying Luoyang, the Son of Heaven was abolished, and then Yuan Shao used this to make the Son of Heaven become the emperor.

So can he Han Sui do the same, even if he can't do it, but holding the power of the two states, isn't it better than just staying in Xiliang?

With such thoughts. Han Sui naturally gradually changed, and began to want to master Si Li alone.

Because Cao Cao evacuated one step earlier. Therefore, Cao Cao's power here was the weakest, and he was first harassed by Han Sui.

However, the biggest purpose of seizing Si Li is to prevent Wei Tao from going south, so there is nothing wrong with letting the Xiliang army as a replacement, and the result is very successful.

As for Wei Tao's rule, it is not so easy, not only in Si Li, Wei Tao is personally in charge, but in Jizhou, Wei Tao still has a lot of troops, once Si Li changes, he can come at any time, even if Han Sui does not dare to act so rashly.

So Han Sui was eyeing Ma Teng.

"Huh...... Gong Jin, as you said, this Ma Teng and Han Sui are really inseparable, as long as we don't move, they will gradually start to fight. ”

Han Sui's actions can't be hidden from people, especially those who have a heart, as soon as he started to act against Ma Teng, Wei Tao got the news.

And Wei Tao is like this, and it is precisely because everything is as Zhou Yu expected, that Han Sui is really ready to attack Ma Teng.

"Huh...... The lord also knew that although Na Ma Teng and Han Sui were close now, they were not without fights in the past. If there is an external force, they should be united, and if the external force is lost, plus the temptation of interests, then they will also be divided. Now the situation of our army must be Han Sui is not ignorant, the lack of logistics makes the army only have the ability to defend, and there is no counterattack, just let it act. ”

Hearing this, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile slightly.

What Zhou Yu said is indeed very true, with Ma Teng's temperament, how can he be willing to be swallowed up by Han Sui, and the two families must have a fight in the end.

"My lord, now that the situation is like this, I think we should do something about it. Today, the lord is one of the most powerful princes in the world. Although the ambition of the lord is to promote the power of foreign clans and protect our Han from foreign enemies, if the internal strife of the Han Dynasty weakens the strength of our Han and finally ten rooms and nine emptiness, then why does the lord want to defend against foreign enemies? ”

At this time, Zhou Yu spoke slowly again.

"I also know that what I said should not be said by Hanchen, but the lord is my brother, for the sake of my brother, I have to say bluntly, if the Central Plains is in civil strife, even if the lord blocks it for a while, he can't stop it for a lifetime, and then my brother would like to see all his hard work in vain?"

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so kind to him at this time.

"Gong Jin thinks that I am also a force to the south, thinking that the Central Plains is unified? When the time comes, I will be the Kuang Fu Han family, or will I be the ...... of the Central Plains."

When he said this, Wei Tao only stared at Zhou Yu's eyes, and his words were very calm, without the slightest excitement or shame, as if he was only talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

But is it really irrelevant?

Both Wei Tao and Zhou Yu understand that this is impossible.

"The reason why my brother never went south is not to assist the Han family or to chase the Central Plains. Although the elder brother has been a general since the time of the first emperor, but one step on foot, most of the elder brother's own ability, the Han family has kindness to the elder brother, but this kindness is not much. The reason why my brother has a good name in the world is not because of this, but because my brother resists foreign enemies and protects my Han rivers and mountains from being disturbed. ”

Zhou Yu was serious, and there was no surging in his eyes.

"My brother's ambition has always been the same, so Fang has nothing to do with the war in the Central Plains, just watching and waiting, thinking that one day the Central Plains can be unified, and when the time comes, with the ability of my brother, whether it is now the Han Dynasty to rule the world again, as long as it can realize my brother's will, I have to say that my brother is so powerful, but he can let go so easily, just for the sake of my Han people, we are all admired."

Wise men such as Zhou Yu, Xun You, and Zhuge Jin can naturally see that Wei Tao also has the strength to compete in the Central Plains, but Wei Tao's actions are not for this, so how can he not be respected?

"Since Gong Jin knows, why is he saying this? Isn't it Gongjin who thinks it's better for me to chase the Central Plains? You must know that the civil war in the Central Plains will weaken the strength of our Han Dynasty in any case, and if the strength of the Han Dynasty is weak, foreign enemies can invade. If I am like me, I can defend myself against foreign enemies, although I give up the opportunity of the great cause, but I can let my great man be safe, why not realize my will? ”

Wei Tao replied with a smile, this was exactly what he thought in his heart.

Even though Wei Tao also thought that if he could take the lead in the unification of the Han Dynasty, he could better realize his ambition, but Wei Tao knew that the time spent was not short, and it could be said that it was the countless talents of the Han Dynasty that caused it to be so.

How could Wei Tao be willing to embark on such an old path again?

Therefore, after confirming his mission in this era, whether he wanted to assist Cao Cao first or monopolize one side himself, he always acted to defend against foreign enemies, not to take personal gains.

"What did my brother say, Cao Mengdehu? It is true that Cao Mengde is a hero in the world, if my brother fights with him, I am afraid that he will not be able to win, and it is indeed a risk of wasting the strength of my Han Dynasty. And with Cao Mengde's momentum, it is also possible to help the Han family to dominate the world. But I dare to ask my brother, if Cao Mengde is defeated, what will happen? ”

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

In Wei Tao's arrival life, Cao Cao did not experience too many defeats, but what he heard in the previous life, Wei Tao knew that Cao Cao was also defeated several times in his life, losing countless soldiers, and finally dividing the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, if you ask other people to say this, they may be able to confidently say that they are undefeated, but Wei Tao does not have this mind.

What if Cao Cao is defeated?

Wei Tao never thought about this question.

If Cao Cao is defeated, the Central Plains will not be able to unify for a long time, so Wei Tao's words to resist foreign enemies are a bit of a sacrifice to the end, and it may even become the cause of the chaos in the future.

If so, Wei Tao is not appropriate.

"Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu, only at the moment can win in one fell swoop, and then use the army to force Jingxiang, press Jiangdong, and slowly win, so that he can take the southern land. Like the death of the princes of the world and the death of the dead. If Jiangdong's little overlord is still alive, he can still be an enemy, but now Jiangdong is the new master of Sun Quan, how can he win? ”

The news of Sun Ce's assassination not long ago has already arrived.

Speaking of which, Wei Tao also knew that Sun Quan was an important figure in history.

But in terms of military affairs, Sun Quan is not as good as Sun Ce, and compared with the Chibi War in history, although Cao Cao today does not have the same army as in history, but in the same way, Sun Quan does not have the power of control in history.

Even Wei Tao is not optimistic about Jiangdong.

"Brother, don't you think that today's Cao Jun is very similar to us before? In the same way, under the successive victories, the shortage of logistics and food and salary was covered, and the victory covered up the hidden dangers. Although it will not be a disaster for a while, it does not mean that there will be no disaster in the future, and the land of Yangzhou was plagued by Yuan Shu, and it may be difficult to get too much money and food here. And because of his scruples about his brother, if he goes to Yangzhou, I'm afraid that Cao Cao will be close to Jiangdong, and he will be able to win at that time? ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao was stunned and couldn't answer.
