Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 450
Xun You's mission to Xiliang did not achieve the expected results.Cao Cao failed to achieve Wu Shun's goal of finding something to do.Instead, it prompted Ma Teng to make a quick decision.

After Xun You left, Ma Teng summoned his cronies and prepared to make a decision on the future of Liangzhou and the future of the Ma family.

"Everyone, today the world is in chaos, and the princes are fighting each other. There are only a few people left who are capable of reorganizing the country. One is Yuan Shao in Hebei, the other is Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and the other is Wu Shun in Yizhou. We in Xiliang have There is no hope of participating in this game of chess again."

After Ma Teng finished speaking, no one objected.Since Dong Zhuo's chaos, the world has been completely chaotic.After all these years, those three people are the only ones who dare to say that they have the hope of unifying the country.

Yuan Shao was endowed with great wealth, the Yuan family had four generations and three princes, and his disciples and old officials were all over the world.Yuan Shu is dead, and Yuan Shao has enjoyed all the remaining shade of the Yuan family.

On the surface, in the current Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao is the most powerful.

Cao Cao of Yanzhou coerced the emperor to order the princes and occupy the orthodox position.If it weren't for the chaotic situation in the Central Plains, no one could stop Cao Cao.In addition, Cao Cao knows people well and uses poor families, so there are many talents who go to defect.

Wushun in Yizhou is unmatched in terms of geographical advantages.Yizhou can become a country of its own, self-sufficient, and the Qinling Mountains stretches from east to west to protect Yizhou.

In addition, now that Hangu Pass is in hand, it is more difficult than reaching the sky to attack Yizhou.If there is no civil strife in Yizhou, it is almost impossible to break through.

After thinking for a long time, Ma Teng reluctantly made the decision to withdraw from the world hegemony.

Since you want to withdraw, you must naturally choose a prince to attach to.No matter whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or Wu Shun, they will not allow a force to drift out of control.

Before the Azure Dragon Corps withdrew from Liangzhou, Ma Teng was threatened by Yizhou.The reason why Wu Shun chose to withdraw was also to remind Ma Teng that it was time for him to make a decision.

"Father, Xiliang Erlang still has strength, why should he be so discouraged?"

Ma Chao was used to being rebellious and rebellious, so he couldn't listen to Ma Teng's dejected words.

"My lord, compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Wu Shun, Xiliang is indeed extremely weak. But it is not completely hopeless. All you need to do is to unite with the Qiangs and defend yourself wholeheartedly."

Pound still insisted on his views.

Ma Dai has been thinking about it. When Wu Shun borrowed troops, he had the honor to fight with the Wuling Army.Ma Dai saw with his own eyes the strength of the Wuling Army.

"Ding Lin, what do you think?"

For such an important matter, Ma Teng still hopes to hear the opinions of these people.Ma Chao and Pound have spoken, but Ma Dai remains silent.

"My nephew thinks that Xiliang is alone and alone, so it is really inappropriate to participate in the scuffle between the princes."

Ma Dai didn't dare to finish, he was afraid that Ma Chao would get angry.Affect his relationship with his cousin Ma Chao.

"Hey, Yuan Shao doesn't think about it. Cao Cao and Wu Shun, Yanzhou and Yizhou, which side do you prefer?"

Ma Teng has set the tone and now it's time to decide which side they choose to go to.

"Father, why did you give up?"

Ma Chao was a little excited, he didn't understand why Ma Teng chose to join others.

"Meng Qi, once the vassals fail, they will never leave behind! My Ma family doesn't have that kind of confidence."

Ma Teng expressed the helplessness in his heart.The most glorious moment of his Ma family ancestors was during the period of General Fubo Ma Yuan.His greatest wish is to restore the glory of his ancestors.

As for fighting for world hegemony, Ma Teng never thought about it.The Ma family has never had such big ambitions.

Now that Wu Shun has issued an ultimatum, the situation in the world is about to change drastically.Even Wu Shun didn't dare to let Ma Jiali stand alone, which shows how cruel the coming era will be.

"My lord, if you choose one of the two, the general will think that Cao Cao has a better chance."

Knowing that Ma Teng has no ambition to compete for the world, then Pound followed his thinking.

"Cao Cao's coercion of the emperor to order the princes is indeed unique. No matter what he does, he is famous for his lessons."

Ma Teng agrees with Pound's opinion.

"My nephew thinks that Yizhou has a better chance. The Wuling army is the best in the world, and the location is favorable and the people are harmonious. Coupled with the aspirations of the people, the trend of unifying the world has been achieved."

The current layout of Yizhou is as Ma Dai said, and the trend of unifying the world has been formed.When the war broke out, it was when the Wuling army left Hangu Pass.

At that time, Xiliang will be the first to bear the brunt, and will definitely be the first to face the Wuling army's soldiers.

"Yizhou's strength is unfathomable, and the exposed White Tiger Camp is rare in the world. The hidden power will only be more terrifying."

Ma Teng knew that the gentry did not want to see his Ma family.It is impossible to defect to Yuan Shao.Because Yuan Shao represented the interests of these great families.

Although Cao Cao used talents from poor families, he could only try his best to make the best use of his talents, and the important position was that of a family member.

Only Yizhou employs eclectic people, and there are families from poor families.The most amazing thing is that craftsmen can be officials, and they are also high officials.

Pu Yuan, the director of the Yizhou Weaponry Workshop, did not know how many generals were fawning on him.All because of their weapons, the weapons and equipment supplies of the soldiers under their command are all made by the weapon workshop.

Who would dare to easily offend the person in charge of such an important institution.

"It is said that Wu Shun's ability is the first priority in employing people. If you go to Yizhou as a general, you can have a good future."

Ma Teng concluded.

"Father, you want to seek refuge with Wu Shun?"

Ma Chao was surprised.

"Yizhou? Is it not bad?"

Pound said.

Only Ma Dai breathed a sigh of relief secretly, as long as Ma Teng didn't want Cao Cao.The Yizhou Black Guards are everywhere. I'm afraid they just decided to defect to Cao Cao today, and tomorrow the Qinglong Army and the Canglang Army will immediately kill Xiliang.

"The Wuling army is harmonious. In Wu Shun's words, everyone is their own brother. I hope he can treat everyone equally."

Although the decision was made, Ma Teng was still a little worried.What if Wu Shun doesn't accept it, or what if the Wuling Army rejects them.

"Does Meng Qi have any objections?"

Seeing Ma Chao's angry look, Ma Teng asked.In fact, with Ma Chao's temperament, if someone were to be a general, maybe Wu Shunrong would be able to tolerate him and not suspect him.

"Father, the child has no objection."

All goodness and filial piety come first, Ma Teng has already made a decision, and Ma Chao will naturally not go against it.Although he was upset, Ma Chao's family knew about the situation in Xiliang.

"Since this is the case, send someone to report to Chengdu immediately. My Ma family is willing to donate Liangzhou and serve for General Yizhou Mu Wu from now on."

"Yes!"

……

Two days later, the sun was shining brightly.

Outside the general's mansion, a guard in black came galloping on horseback.Chengdu has expressly stipulated that if it is not an emergency military situation, you are not allowed to ride horses in the city, and offenders will be severely punished!
The soldier was in such a hurry and skipped the personal guard battalion to deliver the news, presumably something big happened.

Zhuge Liang, Fazheng received the news and immediately rushed to the General's Mansion, ready to find out.

"My lord, the secret guard of the black-clothed guard!"

Qu A presents a red-headed confidential letter to Wu Shun, and Wu Shun reaches out to take it.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Ma Teng, you made a smart decision. Lao Cao, after hearing the news, I'm afraid you will be very angry? Hahahaha..."

After reading the contents of the secret letter, Wu Shun raised his head and laughed.

The letter said that Ma Teng led a group of generals and was rushing to Chengdu, preparing to surrender.

"My lord, what is there to be so happy about?"

A voice came, it turned out that Zhuge Liang and Fazheng had arrived.
