The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 270 Disappointment
For the Great Han Dynasty, Wei Tao really didn't have too many expectations. This is something decided by Wei Tao's two generations.

It doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as I can achieve my goal.

"Since Gongjin knows my heart, he should understand my intention."

After sitting down again, Wei Tao immediately said with a smile, Wei Tao is not afraid of continuous battles, but he doesn't want to say that the soldiers need to rest and recuperate, but just wants to spend energy fighting in the Central Plains, Wei Tao just doesn't want to.

Why there are five chaotic Chinas, isn't it because there are three kingdoms, and the Central Plains have not been able to be unified for a long time?

In history, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were divided into one side, constantly fighting, and the consumption of manpower and material resources was not small, which made the population of the Han Dynasty continue to decline, and countless talents devoted themselves to it.

Otherwise, with the talents of the Three Kingdoms, it may not be impossible to reproduce the heroic style of Han and Wu.

Wei Tao is unwilling to repeat the same mistakes.

"Elder brother has this intention, younger brother should follow it, but now there is still one thing that needs to be decided by elder brother."

At this moment, Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Brother wants to return to prevent our frontiers. However, there is Ma Teng in Xiliang now. He is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but he connives at the Qiang people. Although Xiliang is under the leadership of our Han Dynasty, all the Qiang people are related to us. My big fellow people are no different, even vaguely relying on their fierce force to suppress my big fellow people, I wonder what brother thinks?"

"Xilian Ma Teng?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, he naturally knew about Ma Teng and Wei Tao.

Not to mention what was known in the previous life, even in this life, Ma Teng is also a famous person in the clothes and blood edict, and after the clothes and belt edict was exposed, he is even a loyal minister of the big man.

Wei Tao hesitated for a while, not because of the truth of the matter, but if Ma Teng's actions could allow the Qiang people to integrate into the Han, then it's okay.

But if the Qiang people are really allowed to suppress the Han people, then in the long run, the Qiang people will definitely treat the big Han people as nothing, so they should be stopped.

"If there is something about oppressing my Han people?"

Wei Tao asked very directly, but Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.

"This is Cao Mengde's plan to devour wolves. I really don't know if the Qiang people are compatible with the Han people. However, it is said that Ma Teng in Xiliang does have the blood of the Qiang people. There are indeed many things to think about."

Zhou Yu was indeed Zhou Yu, once he changed the angle, he changed extremely quickly, and he quickly said so.

"However, if the lord has great ambitions, then Liangzhou has no choice but to take it. The Xiongnu and Wuhuan were defeated by the lord one after another, and their strength was damaged. Even if they had the ambition to look south, they would never be able to go south again. But if the Qiang people If you don’t take it, what if it grows one day? Even if you can be in harmony with my big man now, can the lord keep it in harmony forever? If so, why not take it, and then Sinicize it and let it blend into my big man?”

Zhou Yu's last move was done by Wei Tao.

You must know that after several battles, Wei Tao also captured many Xiongnu and Wuhuan people.

For these people, it is naturally impossible to kill them all at once. If so, why would Wei Tao take them captive and let them redeem them? willing to do.

Therefore, the method Wei Tao adopted was Sinicization, with cars on the same track and travel in the same language. It has to be said that in this era, the Han Dynasty can be said to be the center of the world, and the prosperous Han culture can easily educate those people one by one.

The matter of enlightenment was originally the most important part of Han culture, and naturally it was greatly supported by Wei Tao's generals, and Zhou Yu could naturally see the benefits of it.

No matter what Ma Teng did, it was impossible for him to do this.

Wei Tao is convinced of this point, without two lifetimes, without standing high enough, it is impossible to recognize this point.

"Gongjin means that he agrees with my attack on Xiliang? Didn't Gongjin say that this is Cao Mengde's plan to gobble up wolves, and why..."

Zhou Yu naturally understood what Wei Tao meant and said immediately.

"My lord, I don't know what this plan is for. This plan is not to make me and Ma Teng lose both sides, but to win enough time by our army fighting with Ma Teng! I want to know, my lord, that Cao Cao even led the army when he sent troops to Chang'an. Attack Yuan Shu. Although it is clearly stated that it is to eliminate the traitors, it is actually occupying Yangzhou. Recently, it has been heard that the little overlord of Jiangdong was severely injured and his life was dying. I am afraid he died. If there is no outsider intervention in Yangzhou, Yuan Shu can be regarded as Cao Cao Is it an enemy?"

Wei Tao himself was not stupid, and immediately understood what Zhou Yu meant.

Speaking of Cao Cao today, except for the battle against Xuzhou under Hulaoguan in the past, he has not experienced any major defeats, and his troops can be said to be well-equipped. It is not difficult to capture Yangzhou. Once Yangzhou is won, Cao Cao will It is enough to rival Wei Tao, and if it takes the land of Jingxiang and Jiangdong again, if this is the case, it will be difficult for even Wei Tao to be an enemy.

If Wei Tao has the heart to compete for the world, then he should fight Cao Cao and decide the outcome. If not, I am afraid Wei Tao can only settle down in a corner, and even surrender to the Cao family in the future.

Although he didn't explain it, Zhou Yu's eyes revealed such meaning.

"Gongjin!"

With a long sigh, Wei Tao didn't answer, and didn't know how to answer.

"I thought the lord should attack Liangzhou."

I don't want Zhou Yu to speak seriously as soon as he raised his hand at this time.

"Regardless of the future, with the current situation of the lord, if you compete with Cao Cao, both tigers will suffer. If so, it is better to take Liangzhou first, so that the lord can occupy half of the big man. If there is a virtuous lord in the future, Then the lord can belong to the virtuous lord, and it will be easy to be famous in the future, if there is no virtuous lord, the lord can also advance and retreat with evidence."

Wei Tao nodded slightly. Although Zhou Yu's words were disrespectful, they reached Wei Tao's heart.

The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, and Wei Tao's current status, if he doesn't maintain his strength, then let alone his ambition, even his own wealth and life will be difficult to protect.

Zhou Yu's words were for his own sake, and Wei Tao naturally had every reason to follow.

"What does Gongjin think?"

After Wei Tao remained silent for a while, he asked about it.

"My lord, since that Ma Teng claims to be loyal to the great man, why don't you ask the emperor for an order to recruit Ma Teng to Beijing? If Ma Teng is really here, if he comes with troops, it is a rebellion. If there are not many soldiers , Isn’t it like a sheep going into the tiger’s mouth? As for his disobedience to the military order, the lord can also take away his reputation as a loyal minister. Why worry about it?”

Zhou Yu said with a smile, Wei Tao was slightly taken aback by what he said, and then he couldn't help but say it.

"Gongjin's move made me take the emperor to command the princes!"

It's not impossible for Wei Tao to do this, and with Wei Tao's temperament, he doesn't care if it will damage his reputation, so he just smiled lightly, agreeing with his plan in his heart.

However, at this time Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

"My lord, why do you need to go to such great lengths? My lord only needs to order people to spread rumors about His Majesty. Naturally, there will be those who flatter and fawn on His Majesty. Who can you trust Your Majesty after being robbed several times? You can see that even Kong Wenju is neglected now." So the more forces in the court and the more complicated the involvement, the better for him. Naturally, he won't reject his idea, and I'm afraid His Majesty will bring it up on his own."

Zhou Yu shook his head. Although Wei Tao himself didn't care, Zhou Yu, as Wei Tao's adviser, had to think for Wei Tao.

According to Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao's reputation will not be damaged, but if it's just that, it doesn't show Zhou Yu's ability. Zhou Yu smiled at this moment and spoke again.

"It's just that when your majesty does something like this, I ask my lord to refuse it with all my strength. You can say that Dong Zhuohao invaded Luoyang in the past and led to the decline of the great man. If so, you can see that the Xiliang tycoon is making trouble. The wise ear of the lord."

Wei Tao smiled wryly, Zhou Yu was indeed different from others, but this matter was for Wei Tao's benefit, so Wei Tao naturally would not stop it.

With Zhou Yu's ability, it is really easy to make Liu Xie think so quietly.

Just at the court meeting on the third day, Liu Xie made a proposal to invite Ma Teng to Chang'an for discussion.

"Your Majesty, this matter must never happen. Ma Teng is a powerful Xiliang, the place where Dong Zhuo started his family in the past, and now he is forced to come here, I am afraid that he will easily cause more troubles."

According to Zhou Yu's plan, Wei Tao immediately opposed it, and with Zhou Yu's advice in advance, it was quite reasonable for Wei Tao to say it one by one.

"Furthermore, in the land of Xiliang, the Han and Qiang people live together. If this is the case, the Qiang people will be allowed to enter the hinterland of our great Han people. If this is not right, please think twice before acting, Your Majesty."

It was good that Wei Tao didn't respond, but when he objected, Liu Xie immediately became interested, and even faintly became interested in the Qiang people, and even wanted to make an order to invite the Qiang people to come.

As for what Wei Tao said, Liu Xie had to refute, and the more he refuted, the more excited Liu Xie's eyes became.

It's a pity that what Liu Xie thinks is reasonable and well-founded, in Wei Tao's view, it is simply nonsense. Ma Teng is also a prince after all, and he is also a prince in a barbaric place like Xiliang. Is it really that unbearable?

Hearing Liu Xie's nonsensical remarks in the court hall, Wei Tao felt amused at the same time, but also felt a burst of embarrassment, not because of the insult he received, but because of Liu Xie's words.
Wei Tao could feel that Liu Xie had Yuan Shao's thoughts at this time, as long as he could keep the throne, he would not hesitate to attract foreigners.

Obviously, the loss of the throne and the fact that his trusted ministers have not been able to assist him in regaining his power, Liu Xie is now ruthless, no longer trusts anyone, and can do anything at the same time.

Coupled with Liu Xie's own experience, Wei Tao could even feel that he was extremely distrustful of himself and others. When he opened his mouth, Liu Xie subconsciously objected.

Such a person can also be the emperor?

Wei Tao, who has been a man for two lifetimes, sneered. Such a person, not to mention Liu Xie, even Cao Cao, would not be able to treat him like this.

The sneer in his heart finally made Wei Tao not bother to pay attention to what Liu Huihui was doing. After making a decision in his heart, Wei Tao directly withdrew silently.

Wei Tao was already disappointed with the so-called Son of Heaven.

Perhaps in order to realize what I want in my heart, it is most appropriate to become the emperor myself!
