Zhang Jifan Chou, both the four captains of Xiliang, each has heavy troops.
Originally, the relationship between the two was not good. However, Dong Zhuo was assassinated, Yongliang was in turmoil, and Li Dao and Guo Yan joined forces, forcing Zhang Ji Fan Chou, and had to secretly contact to confront Li Guo's second lieutenant.
Unlike Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Ji Fan Chou is not Dong Zhuo's descendant.
Dong Zhuo made a comeback, Fan Chou, like Zhang Ji, was very nervous.
Attaching himself to Dong Zhuo again, it is inevitable to hand over the military power.
Zhang Ji didn't want to, and so did Fan Chou.
The two are like grasshoppers on a rope, with different thoughts and different purposes, but only by advancing and retreating together can they avoid the fate of destruction.
The two joined hands, and then joined forces with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and their strength was enough to compete with Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan.
Zhang Ji is waiting for news from Fan Chou.
As long as the two of them have the same attitude, whether they go or don't go to the Hongmen banquet, Dong Zhuo doesn't dare to do it easily.
ā¦ā¦
Finally, Fan Chou replied.
In the letter, Fan Chou expressed similar concerns to Zhang Ji.
Fan Chou suggested that there is still some time before the Hongmen banquet. It's better to date Ma Teng Han Sui first, get together in Longguan, discuss countermeasures together, and then make a decision.
Zhang Ji's mood finally relaxed.
ordered Zhang Xiu to strictly guard the areas of Zheng County, Shangluo, Shang County, and Wuguan, and not act rashly before he returned.
Zhang Ji led the iron cavalry guards and rushed to Longguan.
Longguan was controlled by Fan Chou.
It is located at the junction of Liangzhou and Yongzhou. To the west, it is Hanyang County, Liangzhou, which is controlled by Fan Chou, and to the east is Youfufeng, which is controlled by Guo Yan.
Ma Teng Han Sui and Zhang Ji arrived in Wuguan successively.
Fan Chou personally greeted him.
There was another person who came to greet Fan Choutong.
This person is not tall, his body is not amazing, and his appearance is not outstanding.
Fan Chou introduced to everyone: "This is the leader of the Ashina department, the Han name is Shi Siming." ā
Shi Siming?
Zhang Ji and Ma Teng Han Sui couldn't help but glance at each other.
Shi Siming, but a ruthless character!
Shi Siming's Ashina tribe was originally a nomadic tribe in the northeast. The Ashina tribe had few people, and was bullied by other tribes and was forced to move west to Liangzhou.
In Liangzhou, in order to compete for pasture, the Ashina tribe also fought with other tribes.
This Shi Siming is not good-looking, but he is good at language. Able to speak a variety of tribal languages, and have a clever tongue, can speak well, and can be deceived.
He did his best to persuade some small tribes to unite and push them to take the lead and compete with other tribes.
Zhang Ji Ma Teng Han then knew that Shi Siming was powerful, and he also knew that he had done a lot of deception. They didn't understand why Fan Chou brought Shi Siming here.
Fan Chou explained: "Patriarch Shi wants to join forces with us and discuss the advance and retreat. ā
Although they disdain to be in their company, in this extraordinary time, it is better to have one more ally than one more enemy.
ā¦ā¦
The attitude of the warlords is basically the same, they do not want the Yongliang civil war, and they all want to maintain the existing interests.
However, they also knew very well that Dong Zhuo would never agree if they did not hand over their territory and military power.
If you want peace in Yongliang, you must make appropriate compromises.
However, everyone was worried that Dong Zhuo would not agree to their compromise conditions.
"What if you don't accept it?!" Ma Tenghu was dumbfounded, "As long as we join forces, they dare to really move troops?!" ā
Han Sui said: "It's naturally best if you don't use troops. Shoucheng, don't talk about it first, let's discuss it again, maybe there is a perfect solution. ā
Fan Chou echoed: "Yes." After all, now the Hewu side only proposed to meet in Hongmen, and did not mention the matter of governing the land and military power. This shows that the talks have not yet collapsed. ā
Ma Teng said angrily: "Although the words are not explained, the matter is obvious. However, since you all want to talk about it, Ma has no objection and is willing to listen to your opinions. ā
Shi Siming, who had not spoken, spoke. "A certain speculation is that the Wuwu side does not want to use troops easily. Therefore, they will not directly raise the issue of territorial governance and military power. ā
Zhang Ji was most concerned about the governance of the land and military power, and hurriedly asked, "What will be the conditions?" ā
"Today's Yongliang is like a group of dragons without a leader. If it goes on like this, not only us, but also Hewu, will sooner or later be broken by Luoyang. At that time, we will want to negotiate the conditions, and I am afraid that we will not have a chance. ā
What Shi Siming said was what the warlords were most worried about.
"Therefore, how to negotiate with Yiwu is not the key. Maintaining the capital for negotiations with Luoyang is the top priority. ā
Fan Chou praised: "The Shi clan has a long-term vision, please continue." ā
Shi Siming said: "If you want to keep the negotiation capital with Luoyang, all parties in Yongliang must work together. This is our idea, and a certain conjecture, and the same is true of Yiwu. ā
Zhang Ji asked: "Is it true that Yiwu will not want our territory and military power?" ā
"That's what I guessed."
Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other. "What is the purpose of the Hongmen Meeting?"
Shi Siming said: "Naturally, it is to discuss the development plan of Yongliang, reunite the hearts of the people of Yongliang, respect the lord, and resist foreign enemies." ā
Ma Teng's eyes widened. "Lord? Who is the Lord? ā
"Naturally, it is to respect Dong Gong."
"Him?!" Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other and sneered: "Wen Yue and I are not Dong someone's subordinates. How can you say it? What's more, it is unknown whether this person is really someone Dong. ā
Han Sui also said: "Yes." Shoucheng and I originally only had an alliance covenant with them, and there was no subordination. Regardless of the identity of this person, the alliance is acceptable, but the subordinate cannot! ā
Zhang Ji saw that Ma Teng Han had already expressed his position, and he also had confidence. "A certain agrees with what General Shou Cheng and Wen Yue said. Alliance with Hop Wood, may. Respect the Lord of unknown origins, never do! ā
The words have made it clear that the atmosphere has frozen.
As the convener, Fan Chou hurriedly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere. Fan also agreed. But Fan feels that who is respected is the main thing, and it is the overall situation to ensure the stability of Yongliang. ā
Zhang Ji stared at Fan Chou and asked, "Brother Fan, is he willing to bow to that person?" ā
Fan Chou hurriedly explained: "This is not the case. I just think that I should go to the Hongmen banquet first, see what Yiwu says, and then decide according to the situation. ā
Ma Teng Han had an idea. "Even if there is no respect, we still have to consider whether to go to the banquet of Hongmen. In this way, it is okay not to go to this feast! ā
Zhang Ji saw that Ma Teng Han said that he would not go, and he also had confidence. Zhang didn't plan to go either. Brother Fan, my brother persuaded you, don't go. As long as our brothers are united and have the same caliber, Yiwu will be dissatisfied, and he will not dare to use swords. ā
Fan Chou secretly glanced at Shi Siming and smiled awkwardly. "Okay. Now that you have all expressed your position, Fan will listen to your wishes. ā
Although we did not discuss a meaningful response, we did not agree on a unified attitude.
Ma Tenghan then took his leave and rushed back to their respective territories.
Zhang Ji also planned to go on the road immediately, but Fan Chou said that Zhang Ji had a long way to return, and since he came, he should not rush back. Stay one more night, let him do a little bit of landlord friendship.
Compared with Ma Teng Han Sui, the relationship between Zhang Ji and Fan Chou is closer after all. Zhang Ji also hopes that he can have a good chat with Fan Chou and discuss strategies for advancing and retreating.
Fan Chou arranged a banquet and warmly entertained Zhang Ji and his subordinate iron cavalry guards. (To be continued.) )
