Chapter VII Plans and Plans for Development

"The army of the Orthodox court?" Ma Teng was in the prime of life at this time, and he was not yet in his twilight years, and he was eager to return to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, at this time, he was still a little confused about Ma Chao's attempt to integrate himself into the Han Dynasty.

"Naturally, we have to integrate into the Han Dynasty!" Ma Chao didn't want to be a bandit leader for the rest of his life, but now it seems that his consciousness as a cheap old man seems to be a little too low, so he has to explain in detail: "Father, integrating into the Han Dynasty will benefit us and do no harm." First, we are soldiers, and the princes of Xiliang are bandits. If we send troops, we will exterminate the traitors for the court. And when they send troops, they are plotting rebellion and rebellion, and this is the way to win. ”

"Well, my son has a point. I don't know if there are other reasons? By now, Ma Teng had accepted his fate, and began to play the role of a primary school student, listening to this teacher Ma come to teach him.

"Although the Han Dynasty has been in its twilight years, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and its power cannot be ignored. And after we become the imperial army, it is very likely that we will receive funding from the imperial court, which is extremely beneficial to our future development! This is a victory. ”

"Well, well, I have a point." Aside from that, Ma Teng doesn't seem to say anything else.

"Between Han and Qiang, there have been grievances for a long time, and the resulting crisis in Liangzhou has become a big problem. And his father is of mixed Chinese and Qiang blood, and he has an innate advantage in subduing Qianghu. And if we are also officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and we use this identity to make friends with Qianghu, then it is a state exchange, which is a courtesy victory. With these 'three wins', why wouldn't my father be happy? ”

"Like Han Sui, get married to Qianghu?" Ma Teng obviously didn't expect Ma Chao to have such an idea, and Ma Chao's fresh idea at this time made Ma Teng very curious and surprised.

Ma Chao stroked his forehead and replied a little tiredly: "Father, do you think that with your own strength alone, you can defeat Han Sui, who has the support of 100,000 or even millions of Qiang Hu?" ”

"Uh... My son ...... what he said" Ma Teng was about to say more, but Ma Chao said: "It makes sense! ”

"Shaft! How dare you tease your father? Ma Teng shouted sternly, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that a father was proud to have an excellent son. Especially in the corner of his eyes, a smile appeared, which made Ma Chao even more unscrupulous:

"Father, according to what the child heard and felt, Han Sui is a ruthless person with a vicious heart and vicious methods, especially in terms of playing with contingencies, he is a master. This person has gone from a weak scribe to a powerful man in Liangzhou and a powerful Qianghu, and he will definitely be our henchman in the future. ”

"Well, my father used to work under Han Sui before, and I know this person's methods very well. Han Sui's real name is called 'Han Yue', and he once served as the assassin of Liangzhou, and he and the late Xin'an County Ling Bian Yun are both Han celebrities in Jincheng County. When the Tieqiang League rebelled against the Han Dynasty, it trapped Jincheng and coerced Han and Bian to join the alliance together, and was responsible for the military affairs of the alliance. Han Yue and Bian Yun were afraid that their real names would be wanted by the imperial court and implicate their families, so they went incognito and changed their faces - Han Yue changed his name to 'Han Sui', and Bian Yun changed his name to 'Bian Zhang'.

In the third year of Zhongping (186 AD), Han Sui invited Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou to discuss the matter, poisoned three people, and annexed them. However, due to Zhuqiang Hu's dissatisfaction with Han Sui's act of killing Beigong Boyu without permission, Han Sui pretended to retreat from the position of the alliance leader first, but behind his back, he played a big trick, on the one hand, he promoted the kingdom as the alliance leader, and on the other hand, he had elbows behind his back, causing the kingdom to command the operation of seizing Sanfu, which was a complete failure.

At this opportunity, Han Sui gathered people to convene a new ministerial league meeting, abolished the kingdom, and set up Yan Zhong, a famous soldier in the border area, as the leader of the puppet alliance. Then Yan Zhong suddenly died of illness, and Han Sui got his wish and finally became the leader of the Tieqiang League. Ma Teng told Han Sui's life history in one breath, and it seems that he has done a lot of homework on Han Sui.

"Kansai called Han Sui as 'the Yellow River Nine Songs', ridiculing Han Sui's deep city, vicious and cunning, and his mind and intestines were like the nine songs of the Yellow River, turning around and making eight turns. And his father later felt that Yan Zhong's death might also be very strange...... However, as Chao'er said, these people sarcastically mocked Han Sui, but it was also because they were afraid of Han Sui! Now, Han Sui has torn his face for his father, but Han Sui has already been full-fledged, what can he do? Ma Teng finally asked worriedly, perhaps, all Ma Teng's troubles originated from his lifelong enemy, right?

"Nine songs of the Yellow River? This title is also a bit interesting. However, father, Han Sui is just a hero in Liangzhou. Looking at the Han Dynasty, there are countless heroes. If my father only focused on Han Sui, he would inevitably be a little angry......"

"Vertical son, you are ridiculing your ......father again" Ma Teng laughed and scolded, but he couldn't help but fall for Ma Chao's courage.

"Father, please see, after the Ma family occupied Fufeng County, it was far away from Han Sui's home camp, Jincheng County. Presumably, for a long time, there will be no large-scale fighting. And taking this opportunity, as long as his father actively formed a good Qianghu and defeated Han Sui with razing, he gradually disintegrated Han Sui's wings. After that, with the funding of the imperial court, he won Jicheng ...... justifiably" Ma Chao's slender fingers pointed back and forth on the base map, like a magic stick, making Ma Teng's eyes involuntarily move with Ma Chao's fingers.

"Old thief Han Sui, he will not let us develop like this!" Ma Teng saw that Ma Chao's fingers had gradually circled the entire Xiliang before he slowly said these words.

"Yes, Han Sui naturally won't, but Xiliang is not his family at the moment. Father, don't forget, in addition to us, there are also officials of the Han Dynasty in Liangzhou, as well as those rogues who occupy the mountains as kings, and even more powerful princes. And once we choose to have no quarrel with the world and develop quietly, Han Sui's eyes will naturally be on those people. As long as we make a little move from it, presumably Han Sui Lao'er will not be too comfortable. Not to mention, there is also the matter of us marrying Qianghu...... At that time, how can Han Sui still have the energy to focus on us? ”

Ma Teng was stunned and glanced at his eldest son, who was originally very familiar, how could he feel that the person standing in front of him at this time was completely a stranger?

And Ma Chao didn't notice Ma Teng's strangeness at all, and still continued to gush: "My father is in the imperial court, Qianghu is outside, he repairs the army, cultivates agriculture and profits, Taoguang is obscure, and develops steadily, and he will include the entire Liangzhou in his hands." After that, my father sat in Xiliang, watched the Han Dynasty rise and fall, and then used the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to defend the Kyushu warriors in one fell swoop, how magnificent is it? ”

"When did my son have this ambition?" Ma Teng's eyes were stunned and shining, just like the green light that came out of the eyes of the hungry wolf in the dark night.

"Maybe it's because I was sick half a month ago......" Ma Chao looked at Ma Teng's fiery eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Isn't it that God blessed my Ma family and sent down such a miracle that my son suddenly opened up in the middle of the moon?" Ma Teng saw Ma Chao's virtue in his eyes, and he couldn't help snickering in his heart: "Chao'er, why don't you get sick again?" ”

I don't want to go back in again! - Crossing the man's heart-rending roar.
