Yongzhou, Chang''an.
Leaving the front line, the trick came to Chang''an.
"Yuan Chang, long time no see. How are you recently?" He asked at the first meeting.
"Fortunately, thank you for your concern." Zhong You smiled.
After exchanging greetings, Zhong you began to introduce his talents to Qiji.
In addition to leaving an army for Zhong you, there was an extreme shortage of local personnel. Over the years, Zhong you worked hard and managed Yongzhou well again. He could not only support the army of intrigues, but also buy war horses from the warlords of Liangzhou and send them to Xiangyang to train cavalry.
The rapid recovery of Yongzhou is inseparable from Zhong You''s efforts to promote talents. Zhong Yao used the Hongnong Yang clan and Fufeng Ma clan, recruited Zhang Ji, Jia Kui, Jin Xuan and other talents, and sent Ma Jun to Xiangyang. With Ma Jun''s presence, coupled with Liu Ye, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang''s wife Huang Yueying, the benefits of siege equipment of Jingzhou army are far ahead of other princes.
I''ve seen people. When I get together alone, the trick gets to the point.
"Yuan Chang, what does Ma Shoucheng mean?" Quirky asked.
"Yes," Zhong Yao replied, "Ma Shoucheng contacted the lower officials through his wife''s family. He has the intention to submit to the imperial court, but he still has doubts."
"He didn''t betray the imperial court once or twice. Don''t you worry?" The trick smiled and said, "tell him directly that I''ll leave him a general position in four towns to solve Han Sui or song Jian, the position of nine Qing in the court, and leave him one."
"General, his present position is not low?" Said the trick.
"It''s not low, but it''s not sealed by us. It''s not worth money." The trick said, "by the way, it is said that Ma Chao, Ma Teng''s eldest son, has the courage of thousands of men. Let him listen to me."
"General, is this tone too heavy?" Zhong you asked carefully.
"Ma Teng is a man who knows how to advance and retreat. He will judge the situation. This tone is what I should have." The trick explained, "they have played in Liangzhou for several years and have fragmented a good Liangzhou. I haven''t investigated his responsibility yet!"
"He doesn''t want to fight now. If he wants to join the court and beg for his old age, it depends on whether the court is willing to accept it. If you don''t obey, why should the court accept these traitors? "
"Only when we put forward harsh but achievable conditions will he put down his doubts and really vote."
"OK, I''ll contact you again." Zhong you said.
"Tell him I''ll only wait here for half a month. I won''t see the result for half a month. I don''t need to talk about it in the future." The trick said, "there are people who want to talk."
……
Zhong Yao soon contacted Ma Teng, who is also Fufeng ma. The messenger sent by Ma Teng waited for a reply at his old father-in-law''s house. After Zhong you reported the conditions of the trick, the messenger rushed back to Liangzhou immediately.
Ma Teng considered for a long time and finally decided to promise to attack he Zhou while he Zhou attacked Han Sui.
Therefore, He Zhou was having a good time beating Han Sui when he was suddenly attacked by Ma Teng, and the whole person was stunned.
What happened? At this time, shouldn''t you sit and reap the benefits? Why did you end up in person and join hands with Han Sui.
He had no idea that Ma Teng would surrender to Xiangyang.
In fact, the warlords of Liangzhou have been used to fighting their own battles. They have not been king for a long time, and have forgotten the imperial court, and the reincarnation has been ignored.
He Zhou''s ability is really strong. He can always press Han Sui to fight. He hasn''t restored Han Sui''s strength for several years, but it''s difficult for a skillful woman to make bricks without rice. He has too few low-level talents. Except himself, there are basically no people who can resist things.
Therefore, once he goes out to fight, the rear will run very slowly.
However, he could not delegate his power to hand over the army to others. Once he did that, he was expected to be overturned the next day.
When he Zhou''s army was attacked by Ma Teng, He Zhou''s army immediately went into chaos, and Han Sui had been in battle for a long time. Naturally, it was not difficult to find the problem and immediately launched a counter attack. Under the leadership of Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying, he attacked Ma Teng back and forth and defeated He Zhou.
Even he Zhou couldn''t escape and was caught alive by Ma Chao.
Although the two sides are still in a state of hostility and this is also a temporary cooperation, Ma Teng and Han Sui are sworn brothers, and their friendship is there. Han then hates He Zhou to the bone and asks Ma Teng to give him He Zhou.
Marten thought about it and only agreed to let him take revenge. After Han Sui killed He Zhou, he asked the head back.
Then both sides withdraw their troops.
Ma Teng wanted to take the opportunity to attack Han Sui. After all, Han Sui''s strength at this time could not catch up with Ma Teng, but Han Sui obviously had a deep defense against him and had no chance.
……
Prompted by the system, the reincarnation point increased, and the trick suddenly understood that Ma Teng had accepted his own conditions and had started.
He was also surprised that the reincarnation person would be directly killed. He thought he would struggle for a period of time and finally escape alone!
"The general trend is on me!" Strange tricks can''t help sighing.
A few days later, Ma Teng rode into Yongzhou with tens of thousands and surrendered to Xiangyang.
"See you, general!" The army is stationed outside the city. Ma Teng takes several sons into the city. Please come down and see the trick.
"General Ma, don''t be polite. Please get up." The trick came forward very enthusiastically, "speaking of it, General Ma and his wife are the same family. Why should we see the outside world?"
"Thank you for your forgiveness, general. Ma Teng knows that he is sinful. Besides, he is old. Please allow him to go back to the field." Ma Teng said.
"Lian Po is not old at 80, and the horse generals are less than 60. Why don''t you learn to order Zu Ma to change his body?" The trick said, "as for sins, don''t mention the past. The general''s best explanation is to help the imperial court calm the troubled times as soon as possible."
"Now that General Ma has fulfilled the general''s requirements, he will not break his promise. The imperial edict to confer the title of general will be delivered today. Please wait a few days. "
"Thank you, general." Ma Teng said.
"These are your sons?" The trick looked behind Ma Teng.
"Yes, this is the eldest son Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, the second son Ma Xiu... And his nephew Ma Dai."
"Meet the general." Ma Chao et al.
In fact, Ma Chao has a problem with Ma Teng''s surrender to Xiangyang. He doesn''t want to, but it''s a pity that he''s not in charge.
Today''s Ma Chao is not like in history, when Ma Teng entered the dynasty, he was in power alone, because Ma Teng has been there all the time. Ma Chao has not tasted the taste of one of the princes. Even if he is dissatisfied, he has not clearly opposed it.
I''m not satisfied anyway. It''s a big deal.
This is also the consistent tradition of Xiliang warlords.
"Although I have been in Xiangyang for a long time, I have heard that Ma Mengqi is not brave enough." The trick looked at Ma Chao and said with a smile, "sure enough, the tiger father has no dog son."
"I can''t be praised by the general." Although Ma Chao said so, he didn''t have any sense of humility.
"It can be seen that General Ma''s sons are extraordinary and have superior force. In this way, I happen to have several Wufu under the general''s command. I don''t want to talk to them." Strange trick to Ma Teng road.
"But with the general''s arrangement." Ma Teng said.
How can he not see that this is a trick? He is dissatisfied with Ma Chao''s arrogance and wants to give Ma Chao a downfall.
However, he could not object. Besides, Ma Teng also had a headache for his arrogance as his eldest son. It was also a good choice to have a hard time and a long memory in order to avoid trouble in the future.
I''ve lived in Liangzhou for a long time. I see that the world is too narrow. I don''t know the superiority of heaven and earth. I''ll cause great disaster one day.
Unlike Ma Chao, he has always lived in Liangzhou. He knows how strong a big man is.
