The Xiliang warlords divided the territory, if they are eliminated endlessly, they will only have endless troubles.

Through calculation, there are about 12 warlords in Xiliang, Ma Teng and Han Sui are the most powerful warlords, followed by Liu Xiongming, Cheng Yin, candidates, Li Kan, Ma Wan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, and Yang Qiu, all of whom have their own territory and potential, which are weak or strong.

Historically, Ma Chao and Han Sui attacked Cao Cao, except for Liu Xiongming's refusal, the remaining nine forces all followed, forming an eleventh army with 100,000 people.

Liu Xiongming, who was unwilling to "join the same stream", naturally ended up miserable, and was defeated by Ma Chao with an elite army, and the whole clan was wiped out.

The warlords fighting in Xiliang was a situation that Lu Bu was very willing to see, so that he could easily pacify them without spending too many troops.

Lu Bu's army attacked, making the melee Xiliang stop all at once.

The leaders of the warlords from all walks of life restrained their subordinates, stopped the attack, and waited and watched the situation, and Lü Bu first issued a number of edicts in the name of the Son of Heaven and passed them to the warlords, hoping that they would lead their troops to surrender, and promise heavy benefits, and return Xiliang to a stable place.

Some people were afraid of Lu Bu's momentum and fame, and thought that Lu Bu's power to surrender was not too bad, so they wanted to lead their troops to surrender.

Of course, this is only a small part of them, most people are used to living an unfettered life, besides, they have soldiers and territory, in their own territory, they are the emperor, how can they stand to be a subordinate general under Lu Bu, if they want to have status or not, what they want to do, they have to be restrained, this is not good.

So they tore up the edict and sent messengers to each other. Conduct a union. Prepare to defend against the invasion of Lü Bu's army.

As the best of them. Ma Teng and Han Sui naturally became the objects of their attachment, and for a while, they seemed to forget about the attack on Ma Teng and Han Sui, changed their groveling faces, and joined the camp of the two.

Ma Teng and Han Sui had been at odds earlier, and this time, Ma Teng fell for Lu Bu and Jia Xu again. mistakenly thought that Han Sui betrayed him and ruined the lives of his baby sons Ma Chao and Ma Dai, so the two fought in martial arts for more than half a month.

The relationship between the two has also reached a freezing point, and it is impossible to join forces against Lu Bu.

As a result, Xiliang had three camps, two main battle camps, led by Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the other was the surrender faction. That is, Liu Xiongming, who advocated the surrender of Lu Bu. In exchange for the glory and wealth and tranquility of the rest of his life.

Han Sui gathered a force in Jincheng, all the armies gathered, the momentum was immense, faintly surpassing the coalition of the old brother Ma Teng, Han Sui was unwilling to go to war with Lu Bu, with the last night attack, to now, time has passed a little half a year, Lu Bu's power is like a flying arrow, rushing to the sky, and Lu Bu fights, he is the one who suffers.

Which of the warlords who have united from all walks of life is willing to go to war with Lu Bu? They all want to preserve their strength and guard their own one-third of an acre, if it is possible, to gain a little more territory, it is naturally the best.

Han Sui's advice to them was to unite with Lu Bu, eliminate Ma Teng, and then cede the territory of Ma Teng and others to Lu Bu to protect them.

This opinion was unanimously approved by all the warlord leaders, so they wrote a joint letter, found a sharp-tongued person, and sent it to the Lü Bu army camp.

Liu Xiongming was also actively contacting Lü Bu to gain more benefits after surrendering, and then led his troops to surrender.

Ma Teng actively prepared for war, and discussed with the warlord leaders who defected to him how to defend the territory and force Lu Bu back.

Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu occupied Wugong, led their troops to continue to advance, besieged Jicheng, and after a bloody battle, eliminated the defenders in Jicheng and occupied it, making Jicheng a bridgehead for them to attack Xiliang.

Two days later, Lu Bu led the army to press a large number of baggage, rushed to Jicheng, this attack on Xiliang, must be a bitter battle, grain and grass, etc., Jia Xu also prepared for a long time, in order not to be forced back by the warlords of Xiliang due to the shortage of grain and grass.

Jicheng, county government.

A map of Xiliang, hanging on the wall, Lu Bu, Xun You, Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu and others, as well as Dian Wei, Dian Wei lay on the baggage car for two days, he couldn't stand the loneliness, so he got up, just walking, still pretending to limp, as if the twenty military sticks beat him to a cripple.

The soldiers were also frightened by Lu Bu, in the past, they also strictly followed Lu Bu's orders, but there were some officers who inevitably had some relationship with Lu Bu, or some military merits, and did not take military discipline seriously, but now, even Dian Wei, who was born and died with Lu Bu several times, was opened by the ass, how dare they be arrogant, they are all obedient.

"Gongda, in your opinion, how should we capture Xiliang, Han Sui first, or Ma Teng?" Lu Bu pointed to the map and asked Xun You.

Xun You lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Now the little warlord of Xiliang is twisted into two strands with them, and it is difficult to break it in one fell swoop. ”

"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded.

"Lord Qi, Han Sui sent an envoy." A pro-army walked in.

"Let him in." Lu Bu glanced at everyone and sat down.

The envoy walked in with a nervous face, saluted Lu Bu, handed over the letter of request for peace from Han Sui and others, Xun You took it and gave it to Lu Bu.

Xu Huang said angrily: "Why didn't Han Sui come to see our lord in person, you must know that our lord was ordered by the Son of Heaven to pacify Xiliang." ”

"That's right! Those who don't follow, Zhulian Nine Clans! Zhang Xiu threatened.

The messenger was so frightened by the loud shouting of the two that he collapsed to the ground, sweating like pulp, and trembled, and said: "The humble duty is only a messenger, and I don't know anything else!" ”

Lu Bu sneered, opened the letter, and read it, "Han Sui wants to join forces with me to attack Ma Teng, and after the matter is completed, give me Ma Teng's territory?" It's ridiculous! What is he, Han Sui! Dare to say such a thing, you must know that the world is the territory of today's son, what qualifications does he have to let Liangzhou to me? Does he want to rebel! ”

Lu Bu was angry, the heavens and the earth trembled, and the murderous aura burst out, coupled with the coercion of the generals, the envoy's legs trembled, and he was scared to pee.

He'd never seen anything like that! Again. Before coming. He had heard of Lu Bu's notoriety of murder. At this time, it was even more terrifying.

Although, since ancient times, there has been a saying that two armies are at war and do not kill them, but how many people have really done it? Once you anger the other party, it is a killing.

Therefore. In ancient times, the envoy was also a very dangerous profession, if he was eloquent, he still had a chance to live, if he was stupid, he didn't know how to die.

But the messenger didn't expect Lu Bu to be so vicious, killing people depends on the mood!

"Wait for your life! Wait for your life! A lowly office is a messenger! The envoy was so frightened that he suddenly spoke sharply, for fear that Lu Bu would push him out of the ground and behead him.

Xun Yu coughed dryly, "Lord, letter." Can you give me a look? ”

"Take it!" Lu Bu handed the letter to Xun You, and Xun You took it carefully. Frowning, he read it once, then put down the letter.

"My lord, joining forces with them is actually a good choice for us, at least we can reduce casualties and take Liangzhou and other places." Xun You said with a smile.

The messenger also knew about the mission that Lu Dao had come this time, and besides, if he couldn't convince Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu spared him, after he went back, Han Sui would not let him go.

"yes, yes! Our marshal said that if Wen Hou agrees to unite, the marshal will lead an army first, take the Su dove, and dedicate it to Wen Hou to show his sincerity! ”

The messenger swore by it.

Su's dove? Lu Bu and Xun You's eyelids jumped, Xiliang is close to the Western Regions, rich in good horses, and in Xiliang, good horses are mostly produced from Su's dove, it can be said that more than half of Xiliang's good horses are from Su's dove, which is also the reason why Ma Chao can easily form a Xiliang iron horse.

It is precisely because Su's dove is a good place to produce horses, so Ma Teng's defense of this place must be the top priority, and now Han Sui said that he would lay down Su's dove and dedicate it to himself to show his sincerity.

Lu Buzhen was a little suspicious if his ears had heard it wrong, or if Han Sui's brain was caught by the door?

Xun You sat back in his seat quietly and pondered.

The messenger was afraid that Lu Bu would not believe it, so he raised his hand and swore an oath, and seeing that Lu Bu still did not believe it, he said: "Our marshal also said that he would make an alliance with Wen Hou. ”

Lu Buxin said that the craftsmen of Chang'an City were all gathered together by themselves, and about 3,000 pairs of stirrups, saddles and horseshoes needed for the cavalry were made, and the cavalry equipment had also been preliminarily completed, and now it was in need of a supplement of war horses.

It's time to give the wolf rider a makeover and enhance their combat effectiveness, if they can take down Su Shi Gu without blood, for themselves, it will be beneficial and harmless, besides, no matter what idea he Han Sui has, when the time comes, he will give it or not, Su Shi Dove, he will decide anyway.

"Good! If Han Sui can take down Su Shijiu, give it to me, I am willing to unite with him to eliminate Ma Teng, and after success, I will never invade Han Sui's territory! ”

Lu Bu touched his chin and said.

What's the matter? Is the covenant binding on me? Only those gentlemen would keep the bullshit covenant!

The messenger breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his face, and thought to himself, he finally picked up a life, but accidentally, he showed his hole cards, this Lu Bu, it's really terrible!

Lu Bu immediately ordered someone to entertain the envoy, and after supporting him, Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Xun You, "Gongda, in your opinion, what kind of medicine is sold in this Han Sui's gourd?" ”

Xun You said: "Han Sui Bacheng wants to pretend to unite with us, capture Su's dove, win our trust, so as to kill time in exchange for their peace, as for Su's dove, where Ma Teng is heavily defended, Han Sui wants to easily defeat it, and it is not so easy." ”

"He can fight and wait and see the situation to move the brakes."

Lu Bu smiled disdainfully, "Then let him fight, when he will defeat Su's dove, when I will send troops, he wants to play a war of attrition with me, I will play with him to see who has stronger stamina." ”

This time, the initiative is in the hands of Lu Bu, the army is pressing, everyone in Xiliang is in danger, the grass and trees are soldiers, then there is still the heart to carry out labor production, after a long time, the economy and agricultural system will be destroyed, Lu Bu will send troops to wander around from time to time, and the entire Xiliang will collapse.
