June of the second year of Xingping of the Han Kingdom (195 AD). Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the beginning of June, Guanzhong, Chang'an Fengcheng Xiliang Army Camp.

Ma Teng wanted to send troops to help Yuan Shao attack the Northern Xinjiang Army, Han Sui flatly refused, he looked at Ma Teng, and said calmly: "Shoucheng, no matter how much food Yuan Shao gives you and how much promise you make, don't believe him." Yuan Shao is a person with great ambitions, what he wants is not a Guanzhong, but the world. In the future, once his strength is doubled, he will inevitably usurp it, so don't fall for him, lest you bear the infamy of the ages and dishonor your ancestors in the future. ”

"So, Brother Wen Yue, do you believe Li Yi? Li Yi will definitely be a big man? Ma Teng asked angrily.

Han Sui said in a deep voice: "Shoucheng, I have told you many times that the Zhongxing Han can not be done by force and war, but by wealth and the correct strategy of governing the country. Without a good strategy for governing the country and a set of effective plans for Zhongxing, you will not be able to stabilize the people's hearts, win the support of the people of the world, and still less have sufficient financial resources to support the continuous war. ”

"No matter how strong your force is, even if you are the best in the world, you will be defeated quickly, on the contrary, if you have the right ZTE strategy and strong financial support, even if you are not strong in force, you will even lose the battle, and the final victory must be you. Have you forgotten, how did Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty defeat Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and win the world? ”

Han Sui sighed, looked at the generals present, and continued: "What is the greatest contribution of the great general in the past few years? It is the northern frontier that defends the Han Dynasty! It was precisely because of his strong force that he conquered the Hu people in Liaodong and the northern steppes. If there were no generals in northern Xinjiang, the Hu people would have been herding horses and singing south of the Great Wall, and it was even possible to use soldiers on the Yellow River, wantonly trample on the Han rivers and mountains, and enslave and poison the Han people. If he, like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, led a large army to fight in the Central Plains and fought in Guanluo, would there still be peace in northern Xinjiang today? Can we still sit here and talk about it? Can Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others still guide the country in the Central Plains and gallop vertically and horizontally? Can Dahan Sheji survive in the wind and rain? ”

"What is the most praised achievement of the Great General in recent years? It is to save thousands of Han souls and preserve the vitality of the Han Dynasty. Look at today's Guanzhong, thousands of miles of red land, deserted, what about people? Most of them fled to the north. Would these people have survived if there had been no northern Xinjiang? Look at the Central Plains again. Since Yuan Shao's main alliance and the gathering of soldiers and horses from the prefectures and counties to attack Dong Zhuo, the Central Plains has been full of smoke, the war has continued, the disasters have been one after another, and countless people have fled to the northern Xinjiang. If there were no northern Xinjiang, how many innocent lives would have died in the Central Plains? ”

Han Sui looked at Ma Teng and said earnestly: "Shoucheng, I'm old, I may not be able to see the day of the Han Dynasty, but you can still see it." Look at today's Hebei and today's northern Xinjiang, how many people have been saved by the general? Do you know how much effort and wealth it takes to save so many people and give them food, clothing, and shelter? You can't be like Yuan Shao, who talks nonsense with his conscience and eyes open. ”

"It is correct that the general did not lead the army to quell the rebellion, and it is precisely because he gave up the counterinsurgency that he has the energy to defend the northern Xinjiang and the strength to pacify Hebei. When Northern Xinjiang is stabilized and Hebei is pacified, he will have the ability to save more people, have the strength to quell the rebellion, and be able to prosper the Han Dynasty. ”

"Today, the general came to Guanzhong to quell the rebellion, but I think he came early and was too anxious. Now that Hebei has just stabilized, neither financial nor military force has reached the point where the first war is decided. The road to the great general Zhongxing Han is still very long. ”

"On the contrary, you look at Yuan Shao, look at Cao Cao, look at Liu Biao, what did they do? Did they all do anything? How many people have they saved? After Yuan Shao occupied Kanto, he gave all the ownerless land to his subordinates, and the people who returned to Kanto had nothing, so they had to rent the fields of the rich people of the gate lord clan, become the slave of the rich men of the gate lord clan, and endure heavier taxes than in the past, which is different from the past? If he treats the people like this, how can the future Han be prosperous? ”

"Cao Cao is even better than Yuan Shao. In order to seize the territory, he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Xuzhou, just this kind of butcher, can he also prosper the Han? ”

"Although Liu Biao appeased the displaced people in Jingzhou and did a lot of good things, he was not strong enough and was subject to Yuan Shao, and he, like you, ignored the achievements of the general, and stubbornly believed that the general was Dong Zhuo's second, and if he wanted to usurp the Han dynasty in the future, he would inevitably kill the general as soon as possible. This kind of ignorant person is not enough to save the country, and there is more than enough disaster for the country, so it is okay not to talk about it. ”

Ma Teng stood up violently, pointed at Han Sui and asked loudly, "What did Xu Da say to you when he asked you to meet in Weiqiao that day?" He gave you benefits, and you want to speak for Li Yi like this? ”

Han Sui's eyebrows shrugged slightly, his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Shoucheng, can't you listen to what I say?" ”

Ma Teng said loudly: "Of course I can't listen to it, I know that Li Yi has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, occupies the vast territory of Hebei's three prefectures, Liaodong and the prairie, and now he is holding the Son of Heaven hostage to Hebei, taking charge of the court alone, and doing whatever he wants." Whatever he wants to do, a blind man can see! ”

Yang Qiu, Liang Xing and other Xiliang generals stood up one after another, and Ma Yu shouted loudly: "Brother Shoucheng, we all came out of Xiliang, we have to listen to Brother Wenyue's command, don't go too far." ”

Han Sui slowly stood up and said lightly: "Shoucheng, the general is in the hearts of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Cao Cao, and he is the second Dong Zhuo. If you look at the situation in Guanzhong today, you can see how difficult it is for the general to quell the rebellion. Once he led the army to quell the rebellion, but he would be besieged by Tianxia Prefecture and County, at this time, could he still calmly occupy Jizhou? Does he still have the strength to defend the northern frontier? Does he still have enough money to provide relief and resettle the thousands of people who have fled to the north? ”

"Moreover, you keep saying that you should let the general lead the army to quell the rebellion, but do you know which people are the rebels he should put down? It's none other than Yuan Shao and the like who you want to help, they are the real rebels of the Han Dynasty! ”

"You're not blind, you're not an idiot, it's impossible for you not to understand these truths. What do you think, I know, you are worried that because of your betrayal of the imperial court back then, the Northern Frontier will not be able to tolerate you, and you are worried that the general will kill you. ”

Han Sui smiled coldly and said, "I have said everything that should be said, since you insist on not listening, I will not stop you." Okay, you go and help Yuan Shao. ”

Ma Teng was stunned, he obviously didn't expect Han Sui to agree to him so happily.

"Brother Wenyue, what about us? What are we going to do? Yang Qiu asked.

"We are all brothers, although I will not help you fight the Northern Frontier Army, I will not help the Northern Frontier Army to fight you." Han Sui waved his hand and said to Ma Teng.

"Brother Wen Yue, Brother Shoucheng's strength is limited, and his iron cavalry can't stop the Northern Xinjiang Army's charge, so you are letting him die." Hou Xuan hurriedly persuaded, "Brother Wen Yue, we came out of Xiliang together, you can't leave Brother Shoucheng alone." ”

Han Sui looked at Ma Teng's stubborn face, his heart couldn't help but soften, and said: "I can lead the left flank of the army on the edge of the battlefield to contain the forces of the Northern Frontier Army, but you tell Yuan Shao that I will not attack." ”

Ma Teng was pleasantly surprised and bowed in thanks.

"Brother Wen Yue, what if the Northern Frontier Army takes the initiative to attack us?" Yang Qiu immediately asked, "When we get to the battlefield, we can't help it." After all, it is impossible for the Northern Frontier Army to let an army of iron cavalry watch over us, regardless of it, they may be the first to send troops to deal with us, after all, compared to the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, our strength is much weaker. ”

When Ma Teng heard this, his face changed, and he set his eyes on Han Sui.

Sure enough, the next moment, Han Sui looked up to the sky and sighed, turned his head to Ma Teng and said, "Shoucheng, you also saw it, it's not that I don't help you, it's that I can't leave Xiliang alone." ”

Ma Teng suddenly felt cold, and a wave of anger rushed straight up. Since you don't talk about brotherhood, don't blame me for not being emotional.

Ma Teng turned around and left angrily.

Li Kan looked at Ma Teng's back and whispered to Han Sui: "Brother Wenyue, once we retreat, Shoucheng's iron cavalry will be hit hard by the Northern Frontier Army, if ......"

"He won't go back to Xiliang." Han Sui sat down slowly, closed his eyes, and looked sad, "In this battle, if the Northern Xinjiang Army wins, Ma Teng will not be able to return to Xiliang, otherwise the Northern Xinjiang Army will enter Xiliang, and we will be all finished." If Yuan Shao wins, Yuan Shao will not let us go no matter what, how can he let our Xiliang Army threaten Guanzhong? He will use Ma Teng to deal with us, and the Xiliang army will soon be infighting, and it is difficult to say whether we can return to Xiliang alive. ”

Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Hou Xuan and others were dumbfounded.

"Brother Wen Yue wants to kill Shoucheng?" Ma Yu lowered his voice and asked in surprise.

"It's not that I'm going to kill him, it's that he's forcing me." Han Sui opened his eyes abruptly and said in a stern tone. "As long as we don't help Yuan Shao deal with the Northern Frontier Army, where is the combined army of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao the opponent of the general?"

"Have you seen the general so far? Where is he? He is in Guanxi, he may have hit Luoyang City at this moment, Yuan Shao was defeated this time. ”

"Originally, according to my plan, as soon as Yuan Shao left, we immediately joined forces with the Northern Xinjiang Army, and Guanzhong could be taken down immediately, and then we worked with Zhao Yun and Xu Da to kill Guandong and take Luoyang, Yuan Shao became a lost dog, and he didn't even have a nest. In this way, we not only helped the general successfully occupy Guanzhong, but also helped him to lay down Luoyang, with outstanding achievements, and in the future we will be the ministers of Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty, and Xiliang will also be preserved and peaceful because of our merits. ”

Yang Qiu and the others widened their eyes and looked at Han Sui incredulously, their hearts shocked. (To be continued.) )
