The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

The Bingzhou Army marched into Tianshui, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the generals in Guanzhong.

The generals in Guanzhong have always kept each other in check to maintain the balance in Guanlong and maintain their respective territories. Many people are worried that the entry of the Bingzhou Army will break this balance and threaten their own territory.

As soon as Han Sui's request for help was sent out, General Cheng Yi and General Han De responded first, and each ordered all the soldiers and horses to gather in Tianshui, trying to block the attack of the Bingzhou Army.

General Liang Xing, General Candidate, and General Yang Qiu also agreed to send troops to support Han Sui.

Only Ma Wan and Li Kan, because they were close to Ma Teng, did not agree immediately, but sent someone to inquire about Ma Teng's attitude.

Wuwei, inside Ma Teng's barracks.

The envoy sent by Lu Yi and Han Sui's letter for help arrived almost at the same time.

Originally, Ma Teng heard that Han Sui called the generals, and he was already determined to lead troops to support him. After seeing Lu Yi's letter, he immediately hesitated.He hurriedly ordered someone to find his sons.

"Meng Qi, now Han Sui asks us for help, let us join forces to resist the Bingzhou army! But Lu Yi wrote again, promising to share Han Sui's land with me equally! Who do you think I should help?" [

When Ma Chao heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he sneered, "Father, do you need to talk about it! Han Sui and I have a grudge against each other, and often join forces with the generals to exclude my Ma family! If it weren't for this person, the land of Xiliang would have died a long time ago. It’s already my Ma family’s world! Just use Lu Zicheng’s hand to destroy this person!”

"Brother's words are right. As long as Han Sui dies, all the generals in Guanzhong will definitely submit to our Ma family. At that time, we will have the final say on the land of Liangzhou! It is not impossible to compete for the world's hegemony!" See When Ma Chao opened his mouth, Ma Tie, the boy, was also very enthusiastic, and was very interested in dividing Han Sui's territory equally.

"Uncle, I'm afraid it's wrong for us to do this!" Congzi Ma Dai looked worried, not as optimistic as Ma Chao and others, and said in a deep voice, "We once had a conversation with the generals, and we all advance and retreat together! Now Han Sui has Difficult, if we refuse to save him, we are breaking our promise! Besides, Han Sui is a wolf, and the Bingzhou army is a tiger, killing a wolf is easy, but subduing a tiger is difficult!"

Ma Dai's words made Ma Teng's face change suddenly, he pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he already had an idea.He said proudly: "The old man has already figured it out! Why don't we just stand still and let Han Sui fight to the death with the Bingzhou army, and when they are both defeated, then enter Tianshui, drive away the Bingzhou army first, and then annex Han Sui's troops. Wouldn't it be better than dividing the land equally?"

"Father, what a great plan!"

Brothers Ma Chao's eyes lit up when they heard this, thinking that this is feasible, although Ma Dai frowned, but couldn't think of anything wrong, so he nodded in agreement.

Ma and his son discussed for a day, and the plan was finalized.Ma Teng simply declared to the outside world that he had a sudden illness and could not go on an expedition. He neither helped the Bingzhou Army nor sent troops to rescue Han Sui.

When the news came back to Tianshui, Han Sui almost lost his temper!Just a few days ago, the Qiang tribe came to report that the Bingzhou Army Zang Ba's troops had already killed the Qiang people's gathering place, and crusade against the Qiang tribe who supported Han Sui.

When the Qiang soldiers in Tianshui City heard about it, most of them bid farewell to Han Sui and returned to the tribe, ready to meet the enemy.Han Sui was so angry that he had to put on a smile on the surface, bid farewell to thousands of Qiang cavalry, and almost shed tears of pain.

Fortunately, although thousands of Qiang soldiers were gone, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu, the candidate soldiers and horses rushed over in time. At Nan'an, although the general Cheng Yin did not send troops, he sent a large amount of military equipment to express his support.Only then did Han Sui feel less sad, and ordered someone to invite Cheng Gongying.

"Military division, the Bingzhou army is brave, especially the soldiers who are trapped in the battle. The Shu sword in their hands is indestructible. We must think of a way!"

Cheng Gongying also had a sad face, with a lot of blood in his eyes. Hearing this, he sighed and said, "My lord, don't worry. I have been thinking hard for a few days, and I have already found a way to defeat the enemy! Although the Shu knife is powerful, it is rare in number. I, Guan Long, not only have elite cavalry, but also elite spearmen, so why not my lord, I might be able to withstand the advance of the Bingzhou army!"

Cheng Gongying whispered to Han Sui.

At this moment, in Wudu City, a total of [-] thunderbolt chariots had been transported, and the people mobilized from all over Yizhou also came in a file. With the surrender of the strong side, most of the people in Wudu went down the mountain and entered Xiabian to live. The huge Wudu has regained a little vitality.

Although Ma Teng's attitude was unclear, Lu Yi didn't want to wait any longer, and on the day the thunderbolt car arrived, he ordered the army to set off and rush to Tianshui.

General Zang Ba of Yokoye set off one day earlier, leading the partial general Wu Lan Leitong, and led by the Di people, to kill the Qiang tribe.

The land of Guanlong was instantly shrouded in the cloud of war.Tianshui Han Sui immediately gathered his generals and reorganized his army.Be ready to fight to the death with the Bingzhou Army at any time.The Guanlong Allied Army has 4 people!On par with the Bingzhou Army!

When the news reached Wudu, Lu Yi didn't dare to be negligent, as Han Sui would gather more soldiers and horses if he was delayed by one more day.Lu Yi hurriedly ordered the army to go out of Qishan Mountain, pass through the upper valley, and go straight to Tianshui.

Along the way, the [-] army marched with banners and banners, passing through some small towns, they all surrendered without any resistance, even when the Bingzhou army walked out of Qishan, Han Sui did not send anyone to stop it.

This made Lu Yi slightly worried, and after discussing with Jia Xu and others, he learned that Xiliang soldiers and horses had the habit of relying on the city for field battles.

Although Qishan is dangerous, the terrain is uneven, not suitable for cavalry charges, nor for infantry battles. Han Sui's soldiers are not good at mountain warfare, so they can only abandon the dangerous land of Qishan and rely on Tianshui fortified city to resist.

Guessing Han Sui's intentions, Lu Yi naturally wouldn't waste time on the road, but Ma Teng remained "neutral" and didn't send troops to help in the battle. This was an excellent opportunity to defeat Han Sui, and he didn't want to let it go!

With an order, the marching speed of the army increased again, and finally stopped fifty miles away from Tianshui, and set up a camp.

Before Lu Yi ordered the army to enter the camp to rest, a fast horse ran towards Tianshui, with its hands raised high, running towards the Bingzhou army.

It turned out to be Han Sui's emissary!

Lu Yi was a little curious, so he ordered someone to bring the envoy to him, and asked, "What did Han Sui send you for?"

Hearing Lu Yi directly calling his master's name, the envoy showed an angry look on his face, and he held back his anger and said, "General Lu, my master asked me to tell you that in order to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two sides, we are willing to give you a thousand horses every year. War horses are used as compensation, and the two sides become allies!"

"A thousand horses? Is the life of more than ten thousand people in the city worth a thousand horses?" Lu Yi sneered, pointing at the emissary and said, "Give me a mop and take away this man's horse! Let him go back." !"

"General Lu, you can't do this, I'm an emissary! It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!" The envoy shouted anxiously, and just about to argue, Sun Guan had already dragged his horse out of the barracks, just like throwing a chicken. on the ground.

"Bingzhou Army, you will regret it! I will remember this hatred!" This man is also Han Sui's confidant. He was ordered to send out many forces, and it was the first time he was thrown out of the barracks in such a humiliating manner. Cursing at one end, and running back to Tianshui disheveledly at the other end.

In Tianshui City, Han Sui saw that the envoy he had sent came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He was furious and cursed: "Son, do I really think I'm afraid of you? Generals, you have also seen it. It's not that the old man took the initiative to provoke trouble. It's that the kid won't give the old man a living!"

It turned out that the matter of seeking peace was proposed by the candidate and others.Without knowing it, Lu Yi thought it was Han Sui showing weakness and threw him out.

The faces of the candidates and the others immediately turned ugly, and Liang Xing even scolded: "This person doesn't know how to praise! If that's the case, there's nothing to say, let's fight! Let him see how powerful our Xiliang men are!"

"Yes, Xiliang belongs to us, how can we allow a child to ride on our heads!" General Yang Qiu also shouted loudly, obviously also very angry.

When Han Sui saw this, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, he turned his head and asked Cheng Gongying, "Military division, are you ready?"

"My lord, don't worry, all the soldiers and horses have been arranged!" Cheng Gongying said with confidence.

"Okay, come here, come and write, the old man will give that kid a challenge!"

With Cheng Gongying's guarantee, Han Sui was determined, and immediately ordered someone to fetch a pen and paper, wrote a letter of war, and ordered someone to send him out of the city.

This time, Lu Yi didn't make things difficult for the messenger. He glanced at Han Sui's letter of war, and directly ordered someone to take a pen and ink, and criticized: Three days later, fight to the death!
