The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 279 Zhou Gongjin 'Two Peaches Kill Three Scholars'

"Hehe...the two generals understand, the reason why they are invited here is to appreciate the meaning of the two generals. My lord is dedicated to restoring the glory of Han Wu. Anyone who offends me will be punished even though he is far away."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, as if he didn't know that there was something dirty between the two of them.

"Although Xiqiang is relying on Liangzhou to gradually increase its strength, it has to be said that it is because of the suppression of the two generals Ma Teng and Han Sui that it has become tame. Among them, Generals Ma Chao and General Yan Xing are the first. The banquet for the two generals today is also for the matter of the Western Qiang."

Although Ma Chao and Yan Xing are both warriors and have irritable tempers, they have to say that they are not brave and foolhardy people. Hearing what Zhou Yu said, they temporarily suppressed the anger in their hearts, although they still looked at each other. Not used to it, but they were all waiting for Zhou Yu's words.

"I don't know what Mr. Gongjin's intentions are? If there is an important matter, you should talk to my father and Han Wenyue instead of coming to me. But if there is a real important matter, then I can speak for my father."

After sitting down, Ma Chao, who was still more irritable, opened his mouth first, and said the words as soon as he opened his mouth. Although Yan Xing on the side didn't answer, he also had such meaning in his eyes.

"Brother..."

The others naturally wouldn't have any different reactions, only Ma Dai pulled Ma Chao, obviously Ma Dai was more thoughtful in comparison.

"Hehe... I also know that the two generals can't be the masters. This time, they are inseparable from the two generals, so I first brought the two generals to discuss. If it is appropriate, then discuss with Generals Ma Teng and General Han Sui Not too late."

In response, Zhou Yu just chuckled.Before they had any more questions, Zhou Yu said slowly.

"My lord is different from the princes of other lands. He only wants to defend against foreign enemies. As long as he can help in this matter, it is absolutely obligatory. Although Xiqiang has been pacified now, he is still going to Xiliang to recuperate. This is for my lord. It is not tolerated by the public office, and it was precisely for this reason that there was a fight with the Xiliang army before."

It has to be said that Wei Tao's consistent image is also the same. In addition, after entering Chang'an City and letting the Qiang people under his command return to Xiliang, Wei Tao never saw him embarrassing the Xiliang army, and it made the Xiliang army all over the place. Have this understanding.

"What does this have to do with us?"

Yan Xing frowned slightly and asked directly, there was no one like Ma Dai beside him to stop him from speaking.

"Hehe... My lord has such a heart that the world can learn from, so if he can suppress Xiqiang, he will not hesitate to help others. My lord fought with two generals. Knowing the bravery of the two generals is the most beneficial." Those who suppress the Western Qiang people, if they choose one side to help, they will not be able to get around the two generals after all, so I invited the two generals here because of this saying, if the two generals can prove that they are stronger, then my lord Choose one of Ma Teng and Han Sui and help him."

Zhou Yu's words were like pies falling from the world, and they knocked Yan Xing and Ma Chao dizzy at once, and they didn't know how they left in the end.

However, although the two were dizzy, they did not forget to pass the news to Ma Teng and Han Sui. After receiving the news, both of them felt a surge of emotion.

The strength of Ma Teng and Han Sui has always been equal in Xiliang, and they can only work together in the end.

And because Ma Teng is more important than the military, this is why Ma Teng is the leader.

But in fact, even Ma Teng had to discuss with Han Sui among many matters.

Without such strength, it is impossible for Han Sui to prevent Ma Teng from acting rashly after eating away at Ma Teng's strength in the past few months.

So Ma Teng and Han Sui are equally strong, but what will happen if one of them gets Wei Tao's support?
Then it will be stronger than the opponent in a short time, and even overwhelm the opponent.

Don't say that Ma Teng doesn't understand this, if Ma Teng can find that he can overwhelm Han Sui, then he will not hesitate too much, and will choose to directly erode Han Sui's strength.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

"This matter is really true? Then Wei Tao may really be willing to help us in Xiliang to resist."

That night, Ma Teng summoned Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others to ask each other.

"Yes, that's what Zhou Yu said. He also said that in order to ensure that it can be done, once he chooses a man among us, he can make a covenant with us. This covenant can not only be made in front of His Majesty, but also can be clearly Tell the world, and what's more, they will leave Sili, as long as I don't send troops to Sili in Xiliang, Wei Tao will never join Sili again."

If Ma Chao said these words, Ma Teng would have hesitated a bit, but he could not help but believe it when he heard that it was Ma Dai who said it.

"Then Wei Tao is really such a person? Is he trustworthy?"

After all, Ma Teng is also a dominant figure, and he is very hesitant about such things.

"Even if Wei Tao withdraws from Sili now, there is no guarantee that he will not come again. If our army fights with Han Sui at that time, wouldn't it be a profit for him? What's more, Wei Tao is still in Sili at this time, just watching from the sidelines." , it’s a good idea, isn’t it?”

I have to say that what Ma Teng said is also reasonable, but even Ma Teng is out of the mentality of one of the princes and is used to refuting doubts. Then discuss.

In this way, it is precisely because Ma Teng already has some confidence in his heart.

"Father, no matter how our army is, in your opinion, does Han Suixin believe it or not?"

At this moment, Ma Chao spoke up. Although Ma Chao had a quick temper, he had to say that in normal times, Ma Chao could also be called a courageous and resourceful person. In addition, his status in Ma Teng's army was not low. When he spoke, Everyone is seriously thinking about the meaning.

"What's more, I have fought against that Wei Tao, and I know what kind of person he is. Based on what he has seen and heard in the past, even if it is true, I don't think it is surprising. Whether you believe it or not, father, I am I believe it."

Although what Ma Chao said was idealistic, even Ma Teng agreed with what Ma Chao said.

Because before that, even Ma Teng had already agreed in his heart that it was possible for Wei Tao to do so.

"Then what should we do? Although you all know Han Sui's strength, if possible, I would have led the army to defeat him a few years ago. Now our army is being eaten away by him. Although it may not be said that we will be defeated, once Let’s go to war, then I’m afraid that even if our army can win, it will be a miserable victory, let’s not say whether Wei Tao will turn his face and deny people, I’m afraid even the Qiang people will not be able to suppress it, and bite our army back.”

As soon as Ma Teng opened his mouth, he said helplessly that some things were not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't do anything about them.

"Father, in the current situation, even if our army does not go to war, Han Sui's greed will definitely attack our army. In this case, why not strike first? Now the top of the Sili is nothing, thanks Only when we have a lot of savings in Xiliang can we persist."

At this moment, Ma Dai took a step forward and said.

"Since this is the case, if we cut off their food and grass first, without the supply of food and grass, even the Han Wenyue cannot control the army. Then I will use the food and grass as a lure, wouldn't it be possible to completely absorb the army? At that time, the entire Xiliang army was in the hands of my father, no matter whether Wei Tao wanted to keep the contract, he had to obey his father in the end, wouldn't that be a great kindness?"

Hearing Ma Dai's words, Ma Teng's eyes immediately brightened. If this is really possible, it would indeed be the best thing for Ma Teng.

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Teng felt more and more reasonable.

"Okay! Done! There is no need to delay, tonight is the action. Meng Qi, you immediately gather the army and attack Han Sui's camp overnight. Remember, if possible, take all his food, grass and luggage for me. If not, it will be all in one fell swoop." Burn them down, in short, don’t let them have food and supplies! As for the others, they will go with me. If there is a chance, they will capture and kill Han Sui, so Xiliang can be settled in one fell swoop!"

At this time, Ma Teng also had the demeanor of a prince, and he gave orders without hesitation at all.

"promise!"

Ma Teng is indeed good at calculating, but it is a pity that while he is calculating Han Sui, Han Sui is also calculating Ma Teng.

That night, all the big camps in Xiliang burst into flames, and the sky was full of flames, dazzling people's eyes, and all kinds of noisy voices continued, showing the panic among them.

Compared with the chaos in the Xiliang camp, the guards only stepped up their guards, but did not participate in it.

"Gongjin really has a plan."

When news came one after another, even Wei Tao couldn't help but shook his head and said to Zhou Yu with a smile.

"With such a scuffle, Xiliang will be divided. I don't want to say whether it will benefit me, but just because of this, it can be seen that even if our troops press in, I am afraid they will not be able to unite again."

In fact, Zhou Yu's plan is really not that complicated to put it bluntly. It is the plan of "two peaches kill three soldiers". When Zhou Yu came up with this plan, it also made Ma Teng and Han Sui feel suspicious.

But at this moment, Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"My lord, this is a small plan. But at this time, my lord can't make a big move, and I even have to take a small step back. Even if the two parties end quickly, my lord will make further concessions as I said. In any case, our army is now The main thing is to rest and recuperate, and when our army has enough money and food, then we can take Sili and Liangzhou in one fell swoop, and now we just need to wait."

"Haha... If that's the case, then I'll follow Gongjin's words and just take a good rest for the time being!"

When Wei Tao heard Zhou Yu's words, he just laughed heartily and didn't need to say much.
