348 Han, Ma, and Xiaobai, the three families conspired
348 Han, Ma, and Xiaobai, the three families conspired
Huangfu Li hurriedly said: "Xiaobai, my uncle's 'life' is in danger, although there are many protΓ©gΓ©s of the Huangfu family, but there are very few people with heavy troops, only you can send troops to rescue you from Wuwei County." If you refuse to save him, no one else will be able to save your uncle. β
Zhan Xiaobai waved his hand and said calmly: "Brother Li, don't worry, the teacher is in trouble, how can you not save it as a student?" I'm just thinking that there is a certain chance of winning in Chang'an. With my strength, even if I come out, I can't win Chang'an. This has to be thought through. β
Huangfu Li hurriedly said: "What should I do?" β
Zhan Xiaobai thought for a moment and decided: "Brother Li, I will immediately repair a letter and send it to Luoyang, and ask Dong Thief's subordinates to be merciful." As for the crusade against Dong Thief, it still needs to be considered in the long run. You stay with me for the time being, so that you can discuss in detail with the civil and military officials of Wuwei County about the crusade against Dong Thief. β
Huangfu Li saw that Zhan Xiaobai was willing to help, so he agreed to stay first.
Zhan Xiaobai introduced Huangfu Li to Xiaobai Town.
The player didn't pay much attention to it, but the NPC officials greeted Huang Fu Li respectfully.
The Huangfu family enjoyed a good reputation at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with three outstanding generals in a row, including Huangfu Gui, Huangfu Song, and Huangfu Li.
Huangfu Song is one of the few famous generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he is famous for encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban and anti-thieves.
It's just that because the Huangfu family was born in Liangzhou, and the Western Liang people were not allowed to migrate inward during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were politically excluded by the "party people". Dong Zhuo, who was born in Kansai, is the highest-ranking Xiliang person so far, and he is also not tolerated by the Central Plains scholars. After Dong Zhuo mastered the imperial court in history, he promoted a large number of Xiliang people to important positions in the imperial court.
However, it is precisely because the Huangfu family is also from Liangzhou that it has a relationship with the Liangzhou Jiang family, the Ma family and other scholar clans, and it is easy to be accepted by the NPC officials in Xiaobai Town and respected as guests.
Zhan Xiaobai was discussing the crusade against Dong Zhuo with Sword Ba, Qiushui, Spring and Autumn Shaoxia, Tianbao and others. After discussing and discussing, I couldn't find any possibility of success, not to mention the gap in army strength, and the strength of all the regular NPC troops of the Xiaobai Alliance added up to only 43300NPC elite Xiliang Army. Dong Zhuo's side has more than 200,000 NPC elite troops.
In terms of generals, Zhan Xiaobai only has Jiang Xu and Jiang Jiong, two historical generals who can come to the stage, and if you count the Huangfu Li who temporarily stayed in Xiaobai Town, there are only three.
And Dong Zhuo's fierce generals are like clouds, with dozens of generals, not to mention super civil and military generals such as Li Ru, Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, etc., just a few ordinary historical generals Guo Yan, Fan Chou and the like may be able to fight with them. A few more would have beaten them to the ground.
Not to mention the crusade against Dong Zhuo, even if it is a crusade against a certain unit under Dong Zhuo, it may not be successful.
With the wisdom of Xiaobai, Tianbao, Sword Tyrant and others, the gap in strength is also at a loss. "It seems that the only way is to form an alliance with other forces, form a coalition army, march into Chang'an, and crusade against Dong Zhuo."
When Zhan Xiaobai and the others were at a loss, suddenly Zhou Meng hurriedly came to report, "Report, lord, Ma Teng and Han Sui sent envoys to ask for a meeting!" β
Zhan Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and Ma Teng and Han Sui actually sent someone over. What are they trying to persuade them to do?
"Please!"
Soon, Ma Teng and Han Sui's NPC envoy met Zhan Xiaobai.
Ma Teng's envoy went straight to the point and said: "Lord Xiaobai, I don't know if you have ever received a letter from Dong Zhuo?" β
Zhan Xiaobai asked knowingly: "Yes, why, your lord also received it?" β
Ma Teng's envoy said: "Yes, my family has also received a similar letter, Dong Zhuo advises my family to submit, and my family is considering it. Han Gong also received one. I wonder what Lord Xiaobai thinks of this letter? β
Zhan Xiaobai hesitated, and before he could speak, he saw Han Sui's envoy also step forward and said:
"As the saying goes, the potential is alone, and the combination is strong. My family asked the little one to tell you: I am equal to the three major warlords of Liangzhou, and it is the best policy to advance and retreat with you! Whether it is accepted or not, it is best for the three to stand on the same position. If you refuse Dong Zhuo's surrender, my three families are united, and Dong Zhuo can't help us, if you agree to Dong Zhuo's surrender, my three families are united, and you can ask him for more benefits. If the three families are not aligned, they are afraid that they will not get the benefits, but they will give birth to Xiao Qiang's disaster. Please also ask Lord Xiaobai to think twice. If Lord Xiaobai agrees with my family, my family is willing to further negotiate with Lord Xiaobai. β
Zhan Xiaobai understood that it turned out that Han Sui and Ma Teng sent envoys to find him in order to keep the positions of the three major warlords in Liangzhou consistent.
Logically speaking, Han Sui's words are naturally very correct.
However, in this way, I will suffer a loss. Because there is no doubt that the basic position of Han Sui and Ma Teng is the same, and the only choice left is to move closer to them. It was decided that they would do the work, but they had to work hard for them. The biggest benefit is naturally from them.
Zhan Xiaobai cursed secretly in his stomach, Han Sui's "treacherous" deceit was extraordinary.
"I agree with Han Gong's statement, but I still need to discuss the specific issues with the lords of your two families in detail. Please go back and reply to your lordship, and make an appointment to meet with them, and I will talk to them about a few specific questions. β
Ma Teng's envoy and Han Sui's envoy hurriedly said, "That's exactly how it should be!" I'll go back to my life right away. "Little white lord, farewell!"
The envoys of Ma Teng and Han Sui quickly left with flying horses, left Gulang Gorge, and went to Jincheng and Anding City respectively.
......
Two days later, Gulang Gorge.
Three mysterious teams met in a small place called Eighteen Mile Fort outside Gulang Gorge. This place is the center of the convergence of the three major forces, but it is not under the control of Zhan Xiaobai, Han Sui, and Ma Teng, and belongs to the three regardless of the zone, and is entrenched by the small forces.
Because of the three here, there are more than a dozen player villages densely built in this area, which is quite prosperous.
Some outlaw players in Liangzhou especially like this kind of place, and they do the business of killing people and goods, so they come here to hide, and wait for the limelight to pass before going out. There are often some mysterious players coming in and out of here.
Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhan Xiaobai, each with dozens of their own personal guards, discussed matters that would determine the situation in the entire Liangzhou and even the world in one of the smallest villages.
The guards inspected the boundaries of the village for ten miles inside and outside the village, and made sure that there were no ambushes, so they entered the village and sat down in the only tavern to discuss the important affairs of the military aircraft in detail.
Ma Teng and Han Sui's men arrived first. The tavern in this small village was directly cleared by Han Sui and Ma Teng's personal guards, and without saying a word, all the people were cleared out by the personal guards, including the bartender and Xiao Er of the tavern.
Don't look at the small size of this village, but the players here are not small, they are all the leaders of the xx gang, the patriarch of the xxx family, the brothers of the xxxx famous team, the masters of the top 100 killers in Liangzhou, and the top few people in the gangsters list in Liangzhou. When they are idle, they like to drink and shout in groups here.
Someone dares to clear the field here, this is worth it! That's not a lion looking for lice on his head and looking for death.
The players who were drinking and having fun were suddenly weak and angry, "Brothers, cut them down for Lao Tzu!" "Dare to clear the field here, and don't weigh how much you have the 'color'!" Drawing his sword, he rushed towards dozens of guards of Chao Han Sui and Ma Teng.
Ma Teng's personal guard captain waved his hand and swept the scabbard, and a long blue light swept through the air, and more than a dozen players with great backgrounds didn't even react, bursting blood, slamming off blood "medicine" and equipment, and then turning into white "color" The light disappeared.
Han Sui's personal guard captain did not make a move, but just watched with interest not far away.
The group of players outside the tavern came to their senses in fright, hurriedly exited the tavern, and were driven dozens of meters away from the tavern by the NPC guards. The knife was killed without being unsheathed, and the NPC guard captain in front of him was definitely a super-first-class senior general, a very terrifying and terrifying level. Some players from afar rushed to hear the wind and saw that the tavern was chartered by NPCs, and cursed.
"He's 'milk' and 'milk', and the NPC has been arrogant like this these years, and he doesn't let people live?!" "Call the village chief and see what is going on! Is there such a way to entertain guests? β
The village chief ran over and saw that the tavern was surrounded by dozens of NPC guards, and he was angry. This is the tavern of his village, who dares to come here to charter it?
The village chief of this small village is also a famous player master in Liangzhou, who once ranked in the top 38 in the Xiliang combat power list, has good kung fu and has a wide range of contacts, otherwise he would not be able to control this small village.
He drew his sword and rushed forward.
An NPC guard slapped it with a palm, and the village chief vomited blood and flew back. The palm of his hand slapped off a full ninety percent of his blood value, leaving only a little blood skin.
However, instead of falling to the ground, the player village chief was caught from behind by a rugged and honest NPC general.
The NPC General grinned at him.
And next to this rugged general, is a young player.
The young player glanced at him, suddenly patted him on the shoulder quite interestingly, and smiled gently: "Isn't this the eight-sided brother?" Long time no see. Uh~, why every time I meet you, it seems that I am being pressed and beaten by other masters. Remember, don't play against someone stronger than you in the future. β
The young player then enters the tavern.
The village chief player was dumbfounded, he didn't seem to recognize the player in front of him, how could this player know his name at once? He was stunned for a while before he remembered something, closed his mouth in shock, and pointed to the back of the young player, "You, small~.... Little White Boss!? β
The hundreds of players around the tavern who were shouting all shut their mouths when they heard the sound.
If it's the little white boss who wants to charter the venue..... They don't seem to have much reason to object.
......
Zhan Xiaobai entered the tavern.
Ma Teng's personal guard captain didn't stop him this time.
Zhan Xiaobai paused when he walked in front of him, and just smiled lightly: "General Pang, has you always been good?" β
The captain of the guard was none other than Pound.
Pang De stared at Zhan Xiaobai's eyes for a moment, and said Mu Ran: "Very good, thank you for remembering." β
Zhan Xiaobai's guards accompanied Zhou Meng and others still stayed outside the tavern.
Zhan Xiaobai stepped into the tavern and saw Han Sui and Ma Teng. It was the first time he had come into close contact with these two figures.
Han Sui, an NPC old man of nearly fifty years old, has a medium physique, a dark and serious appearance, and looks a bit like an honest farmer, but he is extremely energetic, and his eyes are shining.
Ma Teng, a powerful and majestic middle-aged NPC, has a majestic face with a bit of dignity.
The two NPC historical boss characters look kind, but neither of them is easy to mess with.
Zhan Xiaobai didn't dare to be arrogant in front of them, and took the initiative to salute, "Wuwei Xiaobai, I've seen Han Gong, Brother Ma!" I have admired the two daimyo for a long time, but I haven't been able to see them for a long time, which is a pity! I finally met the two of you today, and it was worth the trip. β
Han Sui was dry, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiaobai is too polite, if you talk about prestige and official position, Xiaobai can be above me and Brother Shoucheng!" Han Gong's two words, it should not be, it should not be. β
Ma Teng also laughed and said: "What Brother Wen Yue said is exact, Brother Xiaobai is young and promising, but he is much better than us. It would be better to be called brothers. β
Zhan Xiaobai said with a smile: "Where, in terms of strength, I am far inferior to the two brothers. β
In just a few sentences, he has begun to call him a brother.
Zhan Xiaobai turned to the topic and said, "What do the two brothers think about Dong Zhuo's letter?" β
Han Sui and Ma Teng glanced at each other.
Han Sui said: "Ming people don't say dark words. Dong Gongkuang supported the Son of Heaven, held the power of the government, and shocked the world. When we return to Dong Gong, we will return to the imperial court. Since it is to submit to the imperial court, it is a legitimate move, so why not? Although Dong Gong's reputation is a bit indecent now, but the world's celebrities such as Cai Yilang, Wang Situ, etc., are all attached to it, and we are not higher than Cai and Wang, why not also learn from them to attach themselves to Dong Gong and seek some benefits? What does Xiaobai think? β
Zhan Xiaobai blinked his eyes and said, "Oh, benefits? How much of a benefit? β
Han Sui said with a smile: "The glory and wealth of Luoyang City are inexhaustible. I think that at this time last year, Dong Zhuo was just a reckless man in Liangzhou, and when he entered Luoyang, he was the honor of the three princes and nine kings in a blink of an eye, with power over the world, honor guards, and palace beauties, no one dared not look up. Xiaobai is a smart person, I don't need to say more about this, brother. β
Zhan Xiaobai smiled.
It seems that Han Sui has made up his mind to invest in Dong Zhuo to reap the benefits.
He glanced at Ma Teng.
Ma Teng didn't say much, but said indifferently: "Voting for the imperial court, at least it's better than now." Obviously, Ma Teng is not too active in taking refuge in Dong Zhuo. What he cared about was the surrender of the imperial court. In order to get the court's surrender, he had to take refuge in the notorious Dong Zhuo, which made him feel very awkward, and he had nothing to say.
Han Sui and Ma Teng decided to take refuge in Dong Zhuo for different reasons. Han Sui went for profit, and Ma Teng went for fame. But the final result is the same, they all have to vote for Dong Zhuo.
Zhan Xiaobai was a little sure of their purpose, and then slowly said: "Actually, there is a better choice for the two of you...... It's just that I don't know if the two of you have the courage to do it. Uh, or should I say the three of us have the courage to do it. β
Han Sui and Ma Teng were stunned.
