The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

() Tianshui, in the prefect's mansion.Han Sui was meeting with envoys from Bashu.The military advisor Cheng Gongying was sitting by the side, with a pensive expression on his face,

"General Han, my lord promises that as long as you send troops to attack Hanzhong with Bashu, my lord can give you 20 hu of military rations. I don't want any money and rations from Hanzhong, and let the generals in Guanzhong take it freely!" Liu Zhang said. The envoy knelt down and lowered Han Sui's head, and said very sincerely.

In order to attack Hanzhong and avenge being tricked, Liu Zhang really spent his life this time. He not only mobilized soldiers and horses from Yizhou, but also sent envoys to Longyou to join forces with Han Sui and others.

Liu Zhang's promise is also extremely generous.Longyou has always been barren and sparsely populated. The 20 hu army rations are definitely a great temptation.

How could Han Sui not be moved, but he still had great worries in his heart, so he didn't agree immediately, but let the envoy go out, leaving Cheng Gongying behind.Asked: "Military Master, Liu Zhang wants me to attack Hanzhong again, what do you think?"

Cheng Gongying sighed, shook his head and said: "My lord, Liu Zhang's promise is good, but Yangping Pass is a natural danger. Last time we attacked, we lost countless soldiers. If we attack again this time, we may not be able to take it!"

Han Sui was a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "Although Yangping Pass is a natural danger, this time is different from last time. Last time, Yizhou soldiers stood still. This time, Liu Zhang seems to have plans to go all out. Besides, I am not the only one going all the way." People and horses go over!"

Liu Zhang sent an envoy this time, not just to contact Han Sui alone, he wanted to unite with all the generals in Guanzhong to attack Hanzhong.

On this point, the envoy has already told Han Sui clearly that although Yangping Pass is a natural danger, the military rations are attractive after all, and Han Sui is also afraid that if Liu Zhang really takes down Hanzhong, isn’t he missing 20 hu of military rations for nothing? ?

Cheng Gongying is Han Sui's closest counselor. How could he not understand what Han Sui thought? Seeing that Han Sui didn't want to give up this piece of fat in Hanzhong, he could only sigh and said in a deep voice: "Even so, my lord still sends People go to General Ma to inquire, if they send troops, we will follow, if they don't move and we send troops alone, there is no guarantee that the Ma family will not be malicious!"

"The military adviser is right. We need military rations, but we can't be taken from the rear. The old man will send someone to ask the Ma family what they mean!"

Han Sui nodded, approving Cheng Gongying's idea.In Guanlong, although there are more than ten shares of princes, big and small, only Han Sui and Ma Teng are the ones who really play a decisive role.

In many cases, the decision of the two of them is the decision of the entire Guanzhong generals. Therefore, when he heard that Liu Zhang was going to unite all the Guanzhong generals, Han Sui did not send anyone to the other generals, but directly sent someone to ask Ma. Teng's opinion.

For the rest of the generals in Guanzhong, Liu Zhang's envoys also communicated and promised different levels of money and food, but although they were tempted, they didn't dare to make a decision without authorization, so they hurriedly sent people to Ma Teng and Han Sui to ask them Views.

In this way, with the arrival of Liu Zhang's envoy, the originally quiet Longyou land became lively in an instant. Countless soldiers were gathered together, and there were also a large number of envoys who shuttled back and forth, appearing tense and lively.

The news soon spread to the land of Wuwei.Wuwei is the root of the Ma family. Although Ma Teng and his son were stationed in An Ding, most of the time they were still stationed in Wuwei.

At this time, Liu Zhang's envoy had arrived, announced Liu Zhang's request, and even privately expressed that if Ma Teng could agree to send troops, Yizhou would be willing to form an alliance with the Ma family.

This made Ma Teng, who was a little unhappy, cheer up immediately, and quickly called his sons and his trusted general.

Not long after, the sound of heavy footsteps came, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and other members of the Ma family all came, and Ma Chao was followed by a man with a tiger body.This person looked to be in his thirties, with a mighty appearance, and a very orderly manner in his speech and behavior.

Obviously not an ordinary fierce general.Ma Teng did not treat this person as a simple military general. When he saw the person coming, he got up and said, "Lingming, you came just in time. Now that Liu Zhang intends to attack Hanzhong and wants to invite us, do you think we should?" past?"

Pound, with clear words, brave in battle, and strategic, is a rare general in the Ma family army with both civil and military skills. Hearing Ma Teng's words, Pang De frowned slightly, and then sighed: "My lord, according to the opinion of the last general, we It’s better not to go, then the Bingzhou army is not easy to provoke, last time Han Sui sneaked into the army without telling us, didn’t he also get a bloody head?”

"Even so, Liu Zhang promised that once Hanzhong is captured, he is willing to give me 20 hu of military rations, and form an alliance with me from now on! It would be a pity if he gave up!" Ma Teng hesitated, Wuwei is remote, and it is not easy to raise food and grass , 20 Dendrobium is definitely a great temptation.

Ma Chao has a bad temper. When he saw Ma Teng hesitating, he immediately yelled and said with a sneer, "Father, what is there to hesitate! Now all the generals in Guanzhong are tempted. If we don't go, won't it be looked down upon? Besides , if we can form an alliance with Liu Zhang, isn't it a perfect opportunity for us to annex Xiliang?"

"Yes, father, we might as well agree! Hanzhong is rich and rich. If we seize it, our strength will definitely increase. At that time, we will garrison the rest of the generals. This Guanlong will be our Ma family's world!"

Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were also envious of the 20 hu of military rations, and shouted one after another, they just wanted to go.This undoubtedly made Ma Teng's hesitation subside a lot.

Immediately decided to adopt Ma Chao's suggestion, and called an envoy to promise Liu Zhang to send troops. At this time, Han Sui also sent someone to tell Tianshui of his intention to send troops.Just hit it off with Ma Teng.

Ma Teng even took his soldiers and horses to Tianshui and joined forces with Han Sui. The rest of the generals in Guanzhong heard about it, and if they dared to neglect, thousands or hundreds of them all joined in, wanting to get a share of the pie. .

Han Sui even personally wrote a letter to Liu Zhang and asked the envoy to bring it back, expressing the attitude of the generals in Guanzhong.

When the news reached Wudu, Zhang Wei, who was always ready to serve Zhang Lu, immediately acted upon hearing the news, once again united with Di Wang Dou Mao, led thousands of troops, and personally greeted the generals of Guanzhong to station in Wudu.

A few days later, Liu Zhang in Chengdu also received Han Sui's reply. He immediately became ecstatic, and said to the master Huang Quan: "Master Huang is indeed a good plan. Now Longyou has agreed to send troops. ..."

Huang Quan became serious when he heard the words, straightened his body, and cupped his hands to Liu Zhang: "My lord, although Han and Ma have sent troops, Hanzhong has the natural danger of Yangping Pass after all. If we don't attack first, Han Suimateng may not be willing to attack Yangping Pass. , Therefore, please send troops quickly and attack Hanzhong!"

"Okay, pass on my military order, immediately summon all generals, attack Hanzhong, and wipe out Lu thief completely for me!" Liu Zhang's face suddenly became grim.

I don't know how to do it, the land in the middle of Shu.Suddenly there were rumors, and the story of Liu Zhang being teased by Lu Yi spread all over Bashu, and he completely became the laughing stock of everyone.

Although everyone present kept silent about what happened last time after learning the whole story, the suspicious Liu Zhang always made people laugh at him behind his back.He wished he could swallow Lu Yi alive.

For this reason, Liu Zhang, who had always been hesitant in his actions, became decisive on a rare occasion. On the day he received the reply from the generals in Guanzhong, he summoned the generals to deploy to attack Hanzhong.

The next day, [-] Yizhou soldiers, with Huang Quan as the commander and Zhang Ren as the deputy general, went to Jianjia Pass.Pang Yi, Brazil, was also ordered to send troops again, stationed troops in Jianjia, and collected grain and grass to supply the army in Chengdu.

At the same time, shortly after the Yizhou soldiers were dispatched, the generals stationed in Tianshui Guanzhong, with Ma Chao as the general, Pang De, Cheng Gongying and others as the deputy generals, commanded the [-] Guanlong Allied Army. Yangpingguan gathered......
