Chapter 245: Yan Xing
Han Sui's face was not good-looking when he heard this, it is true that he and Ma Teng are righteous brothers, but they are not big or small, let alone who must listen to whom, this Cao Apu actually sent a messenger to see Ma Teng first, do you think that I, Han Sui, are not as good as him Ma Teng? What does it mean?
Ma Teng and Han Sui formed an alliance in order to fight against the imperial army, and they became brothers of the opposite sex, and later repelled the imperial army, and the two brothers had a conflict because of their generals competing for the spoils of war, and the contradiction became bigger and bigger, and later they met each other, and when Ma Teng attacked the imperial army, Han Sui took Ma Teng's lair and killed his wife and children.
The plastic brotherhood of the two brothers couldn't stand the toss at all, and then they became undying enemies, Later, under the persuasion and mediation of Wei Duan and Zhong Xuan, the two barely reconciled, but they were also at odds with each other.
Huangfu Li continued: "General, I speculate, in a few days, Ma Teng will definitely send someone to accompany Cao Cao's envoy to see the general, and ask the general to send troops to attack Chang'an, originally this should not be said in the next, after all, it is not appropriate to say it in the identity of the next, but for the sake of the general, in the next or risk death to speak, the general can not be led by Ma Teng's nose, if Ma Teng said to do this, the general followed, Ma Teng said to do that, The general followed, The general followed, and over time, the lieutenant general and the sergeant of the colonel and the people of Liangzhou will think that the general is looking forward to Ma Teng's horse. They will think that Ma Teng is the lord of Liangzhou, thinking that when the general was in Liangzhou, he Ma Teng was just a white body! ”
"Besides, if the general and Ma Teng send troops to attack Chang'an, what is the benefit? Now Chen Cang is my base, Chang'an City and the wall is high and the city is thick, the general has been, if my lord is in the city of Guangtun grain and grass, dig deep wells, prepare more firewood and grass, it is not a problem to defend for a year and a half, and the siegers come from afar, if the war is stalemate, it will be exhausted for a month or two and have to retreat, the gains outweigh the losses! ”
Huangfu Li took a sip of wine and said: "Besides, even if the general and Ma Teng defeat Chang'an, what benefits can they get, can they occupy Chang'an?" Not to mention that Cao Cao will definitely not let the two occupy Chang'an, even Ma Teng will definitely want to swallow the results of the battle alone! ”
"General, my lord is entrusted by the four counties of Yongzhou, can I change the general not to participate in this matter?"
Han Sui leaned forward and looked at Huangfu Li, "Is what Mr. Huangfu said true? Can you do Qin Feng's master? ”
Huangfu nodded and smiled: "Naturally, it is done!" This time, he brought 5,000 stones of grain and grass, in fact, there were 10,000 stones, and when he passed through the territory of candidates, Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi and others, he gave them 5,000 stones, as well as 5,000 stones, 500 pieces of fabric, and 200 pieces of silk, as a meeting gift to the general, and asked the general to smile! ”
For these warlords in troubled times, sending nothing is more effective than sending grain and grass.
"Hahaha······ Okay, Qin Tingshi is a bright person, and I also asked Mr. Huangfu to thank Qin Tingshi on my behalf after he went back, and said that his friend I Han Sui made a deal, and I agreed to discuss today! ”
Huangfu Li also laughed, raised the wine cup and said: "The general is really a hero, respect the general!" ”
The two drank wine, and Han Sui asked again: "Sir, how to settle the matter of Qin Tingshi's entrustment of this general to take charge of the military and political affairs of Yongzhou?" You have to have a credential, right? ”
Huangfu Li smiled and said: "General, this matter is easy, wait for me to write a letter, send someone back to Chang'an, my lord will definitely send someone to send the appointment document and seal letter, and then the general can find the original Yongzhou Assassin Han Sui to make the delivery!" ”
Han Sui was relieved at this time, and pulled Huangfu Li to drink it again before letting him go.
As soon as Huangfu Li left, Han Sui's son-in-law Yan walked to the door and frowned at Huangfu Li's back, he walked into the lobby and bowed to Han Sui: "I've seen my father-in-law!" ”
"Yanming, you came just in time, the new Yongzhou Thorn Shi Qin Feng gave me 5,000 stones of grain and grass, 500 pieces of cloth and 200 pieces of silk, you go to receive it later, and be polite to Mr. Huangfu, the messenger of the Qin Thorn History!" Han Sui said.
Yan Xing clenched his fists and said, "Father-in-law, what is this Qin Feng sending Emperor Fu Li to do?" ”
Han Sui immediately told the matter again.
Yan Xing frowned after hearing this, and said: "Father-in-law, this Emperor Fu Li is clearly ill-intentioned, he wants to divide and separate his father-in-law and Ma Shoucheng!" ”
Han Sui laughed: "Do you think your father-in-law and I are stupid, I won't be able to see his intentions?" But what's the downside to us? ”
"This ······" Yan Xing really couldn't think of any harm, not only did it not hurt, but it also got great benefits, not to mention the grain, grass, cloth and silk, and also entrusted the military and political power of the four counties of Hexi to Han Sui, which was nothing more than changing Han Sui and not sending troops, even fools knew how to choose.
But Yan Xing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, he said again: "Father-in-law, that's what I said, but if the imperial court really sent an envoy to let us send troops to attack Qin Feng, would we really disobey the order?" If Ma Shoucheng accepts the will, but the father-in-law does not accept the will, wouldn't it be a superior judgment? ”
Han Sui raised his head: "What kind of judgment?" Do you think he is a loyal minister? If he receives the edict and sends troops to attack Chang'an, it is also because there are benefits, if there are no benefits at all, do you think he will do it? In these years, what allegiance to the emperor and allegiance to the court are all fake, only the real benefits are real, do you think that the courtiers who are so well-dressed are loyal to the king? ”
Yan Xing couldn't think of a rebuttal, and then said: "Father-in-law, I heard that Yuan Shao is dead, and now he is the youngest son Yuan Shang in charge, with Cao Cao's old scheming, Yuan Shang is only afraid that he is not Cao Cao's opponent, and the four states of Hebei will fall into Cao Cao's hands sooner or later. ”
Han Sui thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "Your words are not unreasonable, but who can say clearly what will happen in the future?" Huangfu Li brought a piece of news that Cao Cao had sent an envoy to see Ma Shoucheng, probably because he wanted me and Ma Shoucheng to send troops to attack Chang'an, this is to let us fight with Qin Feng, and then he can profit from it, I won't fall for him! ”
Yan Xing asked again: "If Ma Shoucheng sends someone to talk about sending troops to attack Chang'an, what is my father-in-law going to do?" ”
"Nonsense, of course I agreed!"
"Forehead ······" Yan Xing was stunned, "Promise? Didn't Fangcai's father-in-law say not to do such a thankless job? How ·······"
Han Sui smiled: "If I don't agree, how can Ma Shoucheng send troops?" ”
However, it was said that Ma Teng had waited for Huangfu Li in Jincheng for several days and did not see him coming, so he sent his officials to Heyang to see Han Sui, wanting to hear Han Sui's opinion.
Every few days, the officials who were sent returned to report to Ma Teng: "Lord, Han Sui said that the general's idea is the main thing, if the general wants to send troops, then he will send troops, and if the general does not send troops, he will not send troops!" ”
"Did he say that?" Ma Teng asked.
"Exactly!"
