Chapter 461 Sixteen Schemes to Capture the Dead
On the night when Wang Yue met Ma Teng, Ma Teng conspired with Pang De, Han Sui, and Ma Chao in the dark room, and finally came to the conclusion that he would not make a statement for the time being, and see what Zhao Xing and the court did next.
Wang Yue did not get the desired result, and left Wuwei in a huff and returned to Luoyang to report to the emperor. An unobtrusive meeting seems to have been turned over so lightly.
Actually, it's far from over!
Although he didn't know the result of Ma Teng's conspiracy with everyone, Ma Teng's secret move was reported to Zhao Xing who was in Di Dao for the first time by the Shadow Crew. Ma Teng's mansion and the army now have secret agents who have been inserted into the shadows, and as soon as Ma Teng behaves abnormally, Zhao Xing will be able to know.
"Dong Zhuo's 'petition' to the imperial court about canonizing Liu Qian as the king of Liang had been sent to Luoyang a few days ago. At this juncture, Ma Teng closed the door and muttered, which was obviously a bit abnormal. I don't know what the two military advisors think of this?" Zhao Xing sat in Dong Zhuo's study, looking at Tian Feng and Guo Jia opposite, with an inquiring expression.
Tian Feng was the military advisor of the Blue Wolf Army, and followed Tai Shi Ci into Di Dao City. Guo Jia rushed over from Guzang City with the team that secretly escorted Dong Zhuo. Now that the situation in Xiliang is treacherous and unclear, Zhao Xing let Guo Jia and Tian Feng stay in Liangzhou, naturally because they can make correct analysis and judgment after encountering an accident to avoid their own losses.
Tian Feng pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Ma Teng avoided people's eyes and ears, and conspired with several core subordinates in the mansion. Ma Teng Pingsuri was very respectful to us, this time I was afraid that I would have something wrong, but I was afraid that we would find out, so I would conspire. ”
In the end, it was Gao Shen, and after analyzing it, he saw Ma Teng's actions clearly.
Guo Jia continued to follow Tian Feng's words: "Now that the boulder pressing on Ma Teng's head has been removed, the Ma clan raised their eyes and suddenly found that in this land of Liangzhou, except for the Jin State that could suppress them secretly, it was difficult to meet an opponent. Therefore, it is reasonable for Ma Teng to have some non-dividing thoughts. The question is, what are we going to do next in our relationship with Ma Teng? Will we keep it or will it perish, or will there be some other way to live together?"
Seeing that Guo Jia was asking himself, Zhao Xing nodded and said, "Presumably, Ma Teng was bewitched by someone and felt that it was possible to get out of my control." We have to find an opportunity to knock him and let him see one thing clearly, that is, he Ma Teng was raised by our Jin Kingdom, and if he wants to rebel, he must also see if he has the strength! The land of Liangzhou involves the foundation of the concept of 'one body and two wings' take-off, and it must be controlled in our hands, so as long as Ma Teng dares to make his idea of controlling Liangzhou public, it will be the day of his destruction!"
When Zhao Xing talked about matters related to his political ideas, he was always very decisive and did not hesitate in the slightest.
Tian Feng couldn't help but be interested when he heard Zhao Xing say that he was going to beat Ma Teng, so he asked with a smile: "I don't know how Guochang is going to beat Ma Teng?"
In the face of this matter, Zhao Xing seemed to have been prepared, only to see him answer Tian Feng with a wicked smile: "I am going to let Ma Chao take 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 people of the Flying Tiger Army led by Tai Shici to a joint exercise!"
When Guo Jia heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he also smiled evilly, and said: "If Ma Teng sees the elite he relies on for survival, weak as a lamb in front of the Blue Wolf Army, the expression on his face must be very rich!"
After Zhao Xing laughed, he continued: "It is necessary to scare Ma Teng appropriately, but we can't blindly scare him. For Ma Teng, my idea is to adopt the method of wanting to capture and indulge, and after repeated beating and wooing, I will finally frustrate his ambition and put away his heart!"
"The so-called indulgence is not to let go of it, and to loosen the ears a little. Leaving Ma Teng will still be useful for the Jin Kingdom in the future, but it should not be too indulgent to him, and it is undoubtedly appropriate to use the strategy of wanting to capture and indulge. Tian Feng nodded, agreeing with Zhao Xing's opinion.
Guo Jia didn't nod with Tian Feng, but frowned and reminded: "Although this plan is good, it is also necessary to prevent the tiger from returning to the mountain, and after Ma Teng sits in Liangzhou, it will be more difficult to clean up." Although Ma Teng is now better than Dong Zhuo, more than half of the troops have been killed and wounded, and his vitality is greatly damaged, but it is a rare opportunity to cut him off!"
Zhao Xing saw that Guo Jia was worried about the future, so he said: "If you want to use the strategy of wanting to catch the old and indulge, you need to do it cleanly and neatly on the surface, and sharpen your knives at any time in private." As for Ma Teng, I will control his influence within a certain range, and in the future, I will gradually force him to the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, so that he can become the vanguard of helping the Jin State to expand westward. ”
Hearing Zhao Xing's words, Guo Jia said with a smile: "If Ma Chao knew that you were so calculating him, I was afraid that I would be able to come to you with a gun at that time!"
Zhao Xingman replied to Guo Jia nonchalantly: "Cut, just that little guy who doesn't have any hair, my brother can play him to death if he moves his mind casually." Besides, do you really think I don't beat children? I haven't done anything with anyone for a long time, but everyone has forgotten that our nickname is 'Decepticons'!"
After discussing everything with Tian Feng and Guo Jia, Zhao Xing immediately ordered the Shadow Team members to send a message to Wu Wei, closely monitor the movements of the Ma Mansion, and strengthen the vigilance of people who have suspicious appearances in and out of Guzang, especially some martial arts people who are accustomed to coming and going.
Zhao Xing gave Hu Che'er an order, and the army was drawn and escorted more than 20,000 Dong Zhuo's troops to move towards the area of Gaoping in Anding County, so as not to make Ma Teng feel uneasy, and it could be regarded as loosening the rope around Ma Teng's neck.
Zhao Xing also asked Zhang Xiu, who came with him, to bring the 7,000 soldiers who stayed in Yuzhong City to the Jin State and enter the Crouching Tiger Training Corps for training, while Zhang Xiu himself entered the Crouching Tiger Martial Arts Hall, and received training with Tian Yu, Xu Rong, and Murong Ping, and then made appointments after graduation.
As for the 10,000 Dong Zhuo's old troops who originally defended the city in Didao City, they are still being guarded by the Blue Wolf Army, and they are only waiting for the first batch of 10,000 vanguard troops to arrive in Longxi, and they will be escorted to the Jin Kingdom by the dragoon army.
Zhao Xing's idea is very clear, that is, let his subordinates surrender to the unreliable troops, after the transformation, far away from the local battlefield, and later with the army to settle on the spot, completely break up the Han army's practice of distinguishing relatives and relatives according to the countryside.
According to Zhao Xing's instructions, Liu Dai's 20,000 soldiers from Youzhou and the Baima Yifu under Gongsun Zhan will all be transferred to Liangzhou after training and reform, and will be under the command of Guan Yu in the future; the tens of thousands of old troops that originally belonged to Dong Zhuo will first enter the Crouching Tiger Training Regiment for training after being screened and eliminated, and then transferred to the Youzhou Theater, where they will obey Zhao Yun's dispatch in the future.
Now it seems that other people are fighting fewer and fewer people, but Zhao Xing's troops always fight more and more. Roughly calculated, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers in Youzhou, plus nearly 40,000 horses under Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and the number of high-quality soldiers available to Zhao Xing's subordinates has reached 250,000 in just half a year.
Of course, Zhao Xing will definitely not admit it to the outside world. He would say: "Don't be nervous, these soldiers are reserves, and in the future, they will run errands, do chores, maintain law and order, and arrest bandits in the state and county......
