Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 597 The Wind Blows Xiliang, Ma Han Turns His Eyes Back!
The eighth year of Jian'an came quietly.

Throughout the seven years of Jian'an, there was rarely a war in the Han Dynasty, and the people of the Han Dynasty were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before he could catch his breath, the battle started again.

The battle this time did not take place in the Central Plains, but in Xiliang.

Without it, Ma Teng and Han Sui turned against each other!

This pair of brothers of the opposite sex, who seem to be intimate on the surface, have actually had their own minds for a long time.

Since the two followed Zhong Yao and Lu Yan to pacify Hedong and Bingzhou, they each received a very generous reward from the Han court.Whether it is fame or strength, he is already the well-deserved overlord of Xiliang.

In the past, when both of them were relatively weak, they had to join hands hand in hand.

But now the situation has changed.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two tigers, Han Sui and Ma Teng, gradually developed friction in the process of growing up, until they were wary of each other.

Han Sui is better at strategy than Ma Teng, so after joining forces in Xiliang, his power developed more smoothly than Ma Teng.

Ma Chao was left in the Central Plains by Lu Yan, and Ma Teng lost his most powerful military force, coupled with his natural inadequacy in strategy, he could only watch helplessly as his former little brother climbed over his head to do his best.

But Ma Teng was unwilling!He was eager to reverse the current unfavorable situation, so he thought of marrying Zhang Lu to win over a reliable force.

But Han Sui is not a fool. On the contrary, Han Sui, who is known as the Nine Songs of the Yellow River, and finally formed a tendency to suppress Ma Teng, how can he let Ma Teng get his wish?

Seeing the news from the shadow guards from Xiliang, Guo Jia murmured: "When two tigers fight, there must be some injuries. But chaos in Xiliang is not a bad thing for us."

"But it doesn't seem to be messy enough now." Guo Jia put the secret letter on the oil lamp and lit it, and then a slightly mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Why don't I come to help you!"

Xiliang is closed, and there are thousands of miles of yellow sand.

Standing on the city wall and looking around, it is either the desert or the Gobi, or the winding mountains and rivers or the endless prairie.

However, Xiliang is bordered by the Mongolian grassland to the east and the Qinghai-Tibet pastoral area to the west, and there is also a grassland with rich water and grass, which is suitable for farming and animal husbandry. It can be called a blessed land.Moreover, Xiliang is adjacent to the countries of the Western Regions in the north, the Loess Plateau in the south, and two thousand miles away from Pingchuan. It occupies an extremely important geographical location.

But no matter how good Xiliang is, it is still a barren place.The people are always on the verge of starvation, and they also have to beware of threats from alien races.

Various ethnic groups are mixed here, and the folk customs are tough, and many heroes have been born here.

However, because of the lack of enlightenment, there has always been a lack of counselors and ministers here.People like Jia Xu are rare and completely special cases.

Don't look at Han Sui and Ma Teng as the real overlords of Xiliang, but they also yearn for Guanzhong and the Central Plains. They always look forward to leaving Liangzhou and going to a more affluent place to enjoy a more prosperous world.

For many people in Xiliang, as long as they have the opportunity to leave, no one wants to return to that closed and bitter cold place, even though it was once the hometown that raised them.

But if you want to rush out of Liangzhou, you must first have enough strength.

However, whether it is Ma Teng or Han Sui, it is absolutely impossible for them to reach such a height by themselves.So the idea of ​​annexing his brothers who were evenly matched with him, and then monopolizing Xiliang, waiting for an opportunity to advance to Guanzhong, took root in Han Sui's heart and gradually grew stronger.

Ma Teng did not have much ambition because his son Ma Chao served in Cao Cao's army.At most, he just wanted to dominate Liangzhou in his heart.

But when Ma Teng felt a little ashamed for having such an idea, he never expected that Han Sui was more decisive and determined than Ma Teng!
Ma Teng is discussing with his family about marrying Zhang Lu, and a small school will come to report outside: "Report! My lord, something has happened!!"

Hearing this, Ma Teng strode up to Xiaoxiao and lifted him up, and asked, "Tell me, what happened?!"

The little principal tried hard to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and finally said in a dry voice that was about to smoke: "Report to the lord, Han Sui. Han Sui sent troops from Jincheng! Judging by his appearance, he seems to want to attack An Ding!"

"What did you say?" Ma Teng was taken aback, and shouted, "Han Sui moved so fast?!"

Yang Qiu is a powerful entrenched in Anding County, which borders Sili.Compared with the bitter cold land farther west, Anding appears to be richer, and its location is also very important.

Han Sui and Ma Teng have long been coveting Anding County, because as long as they win Anding County, they can enter the land of Sanfu, and retreat to guard the entrance to Liangzhou.

Just when Han Sui led an army of [-] to reach the border of Anding County, a scout suddenly came to report, "Report! My lord! Something has happened!!"

The team was still marching, Han Sui saw that the scouts looked flustered, so he asked as he walked, "Why are you panicking?"

The scout followed Han Sui on horseback and replied: "The news I just found out is that Ma Teng raised his troops from Hanyang County (renamed Tianshui County during the Cao Wei period, and was assigned to Yongzhou), and the troops were directed at Anding County!"

Han Sui narrowed his fox eyes, and sneered slightly with disdain: "This Ma Teng seems to be trying to fight against us! I wrote to him specifically a few days ago, and as long as he doesn't interfere, I'm even willing All the four counties in Hexi were given over to him. I didn't expect that he promised well at the beginning, but now he has backed out!"

Yan Xing, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and other generals came to Han Sui's side and asked, "Master, what should we do now? Ma Teng sent troops from Hanyang, and he will reach Gaoping before us. If they take him Gao Ping, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us!"

Ma Teng sent troops from Tianshui, they will definitely arrive in Chang'an before us, if they take Chang'an, it will be bad for us. "

If Ma Teng captured Anding County and then blocked Beidi County, then Han Suike would really be completely cut off from his way out, and he would be ineffective every day.

Han Sui was not only thoughtful, but also cruel.

In order to realize his ambition, in a flash of his mind, he came up with a poisonous plan!
Han Sui half-closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

Just when his generals were about to jump in a hurry, Han Sui finally said: "The army heading to Anding County must not stop, but must speed up."

After finishing speaking, Han Sui looked at Yan Xing again, and said, "Yanming, come here, I will give you a very important task now."

When the old man spoke, Yan Xing naturally leaned over quickly and listened respectfully.

There was a gloomy smile on Han Sui's face, and he deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Ma Teng sent troops, but his family must still stay in Hanyang. You lead the elite cavalry and go to kill Ma Teng's family. Arrest it for me, I don't believe that my family is in my hands, and Ma Teng won't retreat!"

Although the disaster was not as good as his family, Han Sui dared to do this.

Although Yan Xing was a little surprised, he still responded: "The last general takes orders!"
