The other five were silent when they heard this, the power of the thunderbolt had spread all over the world at this time, and they really had no way to restrain the thunderbolt.

"If Gaoling can't be defended, retreat to Chang'an." Li Wei was silent for a moment.

Chang'an, can be said to be the greatest confidence of the six people against the state army, as the former capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City in terms of defense, is definitely not comparable to the general county city.

After discussing for a long time, but there was no negotiation, Li Dao saw this, he could only let everyone return to their respective armies, everything could only wait for the arrival of the state army before making a conclusion, before he had only heard about the state army, and did not really fight with the state army.

In May of the same year, Han Sui led 8,000 troops to Hanyang.

Han Sui is a native of Jincheng County, Liangzhou, originally famous in Xizhou, was kidnapped by the Qianghu rebels and elected as the leader, in the name of killing the eunuchs to gather troops to rebel, gathered 100,000 people, successively defeated Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and other famous generals, and then recruited by the imperial court, Dong Zhuo controlled the court, in order to win over Han Sui, appointed Han Sui as the Jincheng Taishou, in the Qianghu, Han Sui has a high prestige, and Ma Teng became a brother with a different surname.

Although Han Sui and Ma Teng became brothers with different surnames, with the entanglement of interests, the relationship between the two was no longer what it used to be.

One is to attack the rebels in Chang'an, to gain fame, in order to expand his strength over the years, Han Sui killed Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou who cooperated with him at the beginning, and the other wants to seize some interests in the land of Sanfu, although Jincheng is good, it still can't be compared with the land of Sanfu, even if you can't get a piece of the pie in the land of Sanfu, you can get certain benefits.

In order to show the importance of Han Sui leading the troops to come, Ma Teng personally went out of the city to greet him.

Han Sui noticed Ma Chao behind Ma Teng at a glance, and couldn't help asking, "Shou Cheng is expected to be Meng Qixian's nephew behind him, right?" ”

Ma Teng hurriedly said: "Meng Qi, don't hurry up and see Han Taishou." ”

Ma Chao stepped forward and hugged his fists without being humble or arrogant: "I've seen Han Taishou." ”

"Shoucheng, you and I are brothers, and Meng Qi can call him an uncle in the future." Han Sui said with a smile, Ma Chao had a high prestige among the Qiang people at the beginning, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Ma Teng smiled: "That's right. Seeing that Han Sui still remembered the old love, he was still quite happy in his heart, Han Sui had a deep city, but Ma Teng was a hearty man.

After the two entered the Taishou Mansion hand in hand to greet each other, Han Sui said: "The Marquis of Jin ordered us to attack the rebels in Chang'an?" Do you have other intentions? ”

Ma Teng said: "Brother Wenyue, when I was in Jingzhou, my son Meng Qi talked to the Marquis of Jin about the rebels in Chang'an, if these rebels are not eradicated, we will be the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, how can we save face, in order to break the rebels, the Marquis of Jin handed over the method of building the thunderbolt car to the general. ”

Han Sui's heart moved when he heard this, although it was in Jincheng, but the prestige of the thunderbolt in the world was extremely loud, if the defending side did not have the equipment to suppress the thunderbolt, it would be a nightmare for the defenders, "I wonder if Shoucheng can order his craftsmen to build a thunderbolt?" For my brother to come this time, there are many craftsmen in the army. ”

Ma Chao on the side frowned slightly when he heard this, the meaning of Han Sui's words was too obvious, but the thunderbolt was a top-secret thing.

"Brother Wenyue, it's not a secret, the construction of the Thunderbolt looks simple, if you want to increase the range of the Thunderbolt to one hundred and fifty steps, it is extremely difficult, send troops from Hanyang to attack Chang'an, Longguan is a must pass, according to the news from the detailed work, in Longguan, there are 3,000 rebel soldiers and horses." Ma Teng said.

Han Sui's face remained unchanged, and his heart was extremely surprised, being able to make the range reach one hundred and fifty steps is definitely a weapon for siege, Han Sui has been shrinking in Jincheng for a generation over the years, and he doesn't want to make the land under his rule bigger all the time, "I wonder if Brother Shoucheng can give a look at the drawings of building a thunderbolt car?" ”

Looking at Han Sui, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Ma Teng was silent for a moment and said: "Naturally, Meng Qi, I will give Brother Wen Yue a look at the drawings of the Thunderbolt car." ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Father, it's not that the child doesn't want to take out the drawings for building the thunderbolt car, but this thing is given by the Marquis of Jin, if there is no order from the Marquis of Jin, and the drawings for building the thunderbolt car are leaked, once the Marquis of Jin knows, I am afraid that he will be blamed." ”

Ma Teng frowned and said: "Brother Wen Yue, I didn't think about it a little bit, the Marquis of Jin sent troops to attack Chang'an in the near future, and I will make a final conclusion on this matter after meeting the Marquis of Jin." ”

Han Sui knew that this was Ma Teng's prevarication, and at the same time looked at Ma Chao with a slightly different gaze, he could be so witty at a young age, and Ma Chao's future achievements would definitely be extraordinary.

"It's okay, it's not too late to talk about it after the Chang'an traitor is broken." Han Sui said with a smile.

"Shoucheng, did the Marquis of Jin once say that after breaking through Chang'an, where does the city belong?" Han Sui asked in a low voice.

Ma Teng said: "Naturally, it belongs to the Marquis of Jin, and the Marquis of Jin is a general, who is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the world." ”

Seeing that Han Sui wanted to speak and stopped, Ma Tengping retreated left and right and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that there is something wrong with this?" ”

Han Sui nodded slightly and said: "Shou Cheng has ever thought that once Chang'an is occupied by the Marquis of Jin, the situation of our waiting, although Chang'an has gone through Dong Zhuo's rebellion, it is a place where soldiers must fight, if it is obtained by the Marquis of Jin, then the Marquis of Jin can send troops to Liangzhou at any time, could it be that Shoucheng thinks that with the strength of Liangzhou now, he can resist the army of the Marquis of Jin?" ”

"If so, this general has already promised the Marquis of Jin to send troops, and has made this matter to the saint, and it is expected that the holy decree will arrive in Hanyang in the near future." Ma Teng's face changed slightly, he admired Han Sui more in terms of resourcefulness, which is why he attracted Han Sui during this trip to attack Chang'an.

Han Sui pondered for a long time and said: "I think that my brother's opinion can help the Marquis of Jin attack Chang'an, but the land of Chang'an must belong to us." ”

Ma Teng shook his head, "How could the Marquis of Jin agree so easily, it is said that the number of soldiers and horses dispatched by the Marquis of Jin this time is at least 50,000 people." ”

"Otherwise, let the Marquis of Jin become the pastor of Liangzhou, Liangzhou has been chaotic for many years, the people are not happy, and the position of Liangzhou pastor is vacant." Han Sui said suddenly, he naturally knew that it was impossible to get Lu Bu to give up Chang'an, and the most important thing was how to gain benefits in such a situation.

Ma Teng got up and said: "Brother Wen Yue laughed, a certain talent is not as good as Wen Yue, leading the troops to fight can be competent, but there are many places to govern the place, and Brother Wen Yue is quite prestigious in Liangzhou, and it is most suitable for Brother Wen Yue to serve as the pastor of Liangzhou." ”

Han Sui didn't say anything else when he heard this, he originally planned to take the position of Liangzhou pastor, but Ma Teng's reaction was in his expectation, with Ma Teng's character, it would be strange if he chose to be a Liangzhou pastor.
