Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 366 A group of bandits
After Ma Teng ruled Xiliang, the nearby Qiang tribes also sent representatives to congratulate him.The relationship between Ma Teng and the Qiang people is still good.After all, General Shenweitian Ma Chao has Qiang blood.

But not long after, the leader of the Qiang tribe came to Ma Teng and cried.It is said that a group of powerful horse thieves entered their tribe, and they did not kill people, but only robbed horses.

Ma Teng could guess the identities of these horse thieves as soon as he heard this.He, Ma Teng, can't afford to offend those horse thieves.He could only persuade them with good words, and even sent troops to help the Qiang tribe defend in case the horse thieves came again.

At the station of the Azure Dragon Army, Wei Yan and Pei Yuanshao drank together. Today they sent another two thousand war horses to Yizhou, feeling very happy.

"Old Pei, do you have a next target?"

Pei Yuanshao is the best at finding targets.Pei Yuanshao, who was born in the Yellow Turban Army, can be said to be an expert in this line of work.

"Baima Qiang, when I was not here, I heard that Baima Qiang had helped Han Sui and robbed their horses, so I wouldn't feel uneasy."

Wei Yan liked Pei Yuanshao's cheap look more and more.

"Okay, when will we do it! My lord wants a lot, so let's hurry up."

With the goal in mind, Wei Yan wished he could do it right away. Although he sent out [-] horses today, it was still far from the target.

"Slow down, don't rush. How does Ma Teng explain it? Nominally, Liangzhou belongs to them. Some tribes have Ma Teng's people guarding them. I have to give them face, right?"

Pei Yuanshao is an honest man, he already regards Ma Teng as one of his own, and Pei Yuanshao is quite good to his own people.

Pei Yuanshao thought about Ma Teng, but Wei Yan was anxious about his task, and immediately became anxious:

"Why do you need to explain? That's what the horse thief did, so what does it have to do with me!"

Hearing Wei Yan's righteous words, Pei Yuanshao suddenly realized: "It seems that my old Pei has only a short time to join the Azure Dragon Army." Pei Yuanshao admired Wei Yan's ability to open his eyes and tell lies!

"Let's go tonight then?"

Pei Yuanshao asked tentatively.

"Well, where are we going tonight? We're not going anywhere. In such a cold day, only horse thieves would go out." Wei Yan said with staring eyes.

A few days later, the leader of Baima Qiang went to Jincheng to find Ma Teng crying.That scene was really sad for those who heard it and wept.After the leader finished talking about the situation, he almost burst into tears.

Ma Teng couldn't comfort him, so in the end he could only promise to send some food, grass and clothes to Baima Qiang this winter.This persuaded the leader of Baima Qiang to go back.

"Father, where did the horse thieves come from? It's too hateful, let the child meet them!"

Ma Chao came forward to fight, and even the shadow of the horse thief could not be seen in the area he was in charge of defending.He wanted to meet such a powerful horse thief.

"Don't worry about the horse thief, just keep it safe. Maybe the horse thief also wants to snatch horses, cattle and sheep for the winter."

Ma Teng meant something, but unfortunately Ma Chao didn't understand.

When robbing the Baima Qiang, encountered resistance, Wei Yan got angry and ordered a lot of cattle and sheep to be robbed.

In such a catastrophe, how can Baima Qiang survive the winter?I can only ask Ma Teng to show kindness and support them.

"It seems that we should go to the station of the Azure Dragon Army." After becoming the shepherd of Liangzhou, he found that Wu Shun didn't restrict him, so Ma Teng had the idea of ​​managing Liangzhou well.

What kind of horse thief dares to run wild in Xiliang, where the Qinglong Army is stationed?Ma Teng didn't know, so he went to ask Wei Yan what he thought.

The base of the Qinglong Legion is some distance away from Jincheng. For the sake of the peace of Liangzhou, Ma Teng braved the severe cold to arrive.

"Master Ma!"

The guards in front of the station did not stop Ma Teng, and let Ma Teng enter after a respectful shout.

"Hahaha, what kind of wind is blowing today that brought Mr. Ma here, please!"

When Wei Yanhe learned of Ma Teng's visit, he hurried out with Pei Yuanshao to greet him.

"It's nothing important. Recently, a group of horse thieves appeared in Liangzhou. I wonder if General Wei has found their traces?"

As soon as Ma Teng opened his mouth, he was a horse thief, causing Pei Yuanshao, who was walking behind, to wink at Wei Yan.Meaning, look, exposed.

Wei Yan had a thick skin, as if he didn't see it.He also asked Ma Teng with a puzzled face, "Horse thieves? There are horse thieves in Liangzhou! Why didn't Mr. Ma tell you earlier that the Qinglong Cavalry will dispatch to find those horse thieves."

If it wasn't for Ma Teng's conviction that the horse thief was a Qinglong cavalry in disguise, he would have been fooled by Wei Yan's superb acting skills.

Although he knew Wei Yan was lying, Ma Teng didn't expose it.Wei Yan has already stated that this is enough.The matter is clear, and it is not easy for both parties to step down.

"General Wei, the Qiang people around Liangzhou have been plundered by horse thieves, and their rations for the winter are severely lacking. The land in Liangzhou is barren and war-torn, and there is a shortage of food. I wonder if I can ask Yizhou to allocate some food and grass for relief, otherwise the Qiang people will riot. It's not good for you or me."

Ma Teng came here mainly for food.Not only the Qiang people, but the war in Xiliang has just ended, so there is no food left over for the winter.If there is no support from Yizhou, I don't know how many people will starve to death this winter.

"Master Ma is devoted to the people, and Wei Yan admires him. I will write a letter and order it to be sent to Chengdu. My lord, please make a decision!"

For Ma Teng to say that, he already took his face lightly.Wei Yan is not a treacherous person, and he can't stand the suffering of the people.

……

In Chengdu, Wu Shun hid in a warm study and read Wei Yan's letter.After reading it, I can't help but help:

"Why do you still need to rob? A group of bandits! No wonder you can send back so many good horses. Yes, they have the demeanor of the soldiers in the past! But this food, what do you think, Kong Ming?"

Wu Shun wanted to hear Zhuge Liang's opinion on whether to send food to Liangzhou.

"My lord, since Ma Teng took the initiative to ask for food and grass support, I must have figured it out. Liangzhou is nominally owned by him, Ma Teng, but in fact it is the lord who has the final say. The food and grass should be given, and more should be given. Ma Teng and the Qiang people We have a good relationship, we can take advantage of this and take over the Qiang people, just like the Wuxi barbarians."

From the perspective of the overall situation, it is necessary to provide Liangzhou with food and grass.Zhuge Liang also pointed out the role of Ma Teng:
"With Ma Teng, the Wuling Army may be able to add an elite force similar to the Canglang Army."

Wu Shun felt that Zhuge Liang's suggestion was very reasonable. Ma Teng could manage Liangzhou well, and he could also control the Qiang people by the way. With Ma Teng alone, the whole Liangzhou would be stabilized. This is a good deal!

"Well, let Yuan Zhi transport some grain and grass from Hanzhong to help Ma Teng survive this cold winter!"

"My lord is wise!"

Wu Shun made a decision, and Zhuge Liang immediately praised it.

"Kong Ming, now the matter of Liangzhou has been decided, and Guanzhong is under control. Should we..."

Wu Shun made a movement of going out, which means going out of Hangu Pass in the east to compete with the princes of the world.

"My lord, there is no perfect solution, Hangu Pass must not be taken lightly!"

Zhuge Liang believed that it was not the best time for the Wuling army to go out of Hangu Pass before Yuan Shao and Cao Cao decided the victory in the east.

"Well, we will stay here in Yizhou and watch the world go up!"

The Wuling army is very strong, no matter who they face, Wu Shun has the confidence to win.But if the princes form an alliance again, the joke will be big.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and a hero can't hold back a pack of wolves. Wu Shun is not afraid, but he doesn't want to waste the great situation he has painstakingly created.

"It's a good sentence to sit and watch the world go up, Zixuan, you haven't been to the academy for a long time."

A vigorous voice came from outside the door.

"Hahahaha, it turns out to be Mr. Cai, please come in!"

Opening the door, Wu Shun personally helped Cai Yong walk into the study.

"Well, big bastard!"

Cai Yan followed behind, her puffy little face was extremely cute, but it was a pity that Wu Shun didn't see it.

　Don't be stingy with the recommendation tickets, let's all go to the bandits! !
