Chapter 875: Han Sui and Ma Teng join forces

After Huangfu Song went south, Dong Min, the prefect of Wuwei County, replaced Huangfu Song to station Guzang, the capital of Wuwei County. Another one was stationed in Xuanwei, forming a junction with Linze City. As for Wuwei City, Wuwei City is now in the hands of Han Sui. Guzang's original garrison was the elite troops of the fifth battalion brought by Huangfu Song from the Central Plains, and now it was taken over by Dong Min. Dong Min adopted Li Ru's suggestion and competed in the army to select generals, and then released the original generals back to the Central Plains, saying that it was mercy and actually wanted to be cleaned.

Dong Min's measures quickly stabilized the situation in Wuwei County, and Han Sui from Wuwei and Bian Zhang, who was stationed in Jianmei, surprisingly did not take advantage of the situation to move south. Of course, Dong Min didn't know why they suddenly became so warm, but it would be better if they didn't come. Dong Min could seize the time to rectify the troops' construction defense facilities and be ready to fight north at any time.

Another trouble caused by Dong Min's leadership of Wuwei was that Huangfu Song turned a blind eye and allowed grain merchants and players to sell food to Han Sui and Bian Zhang, but as soon as Dong Min took office, this behavior was immediately banned, which was simply a declaration of war.

But even so, Han Sui and Bian Zhang did not come to attack Dong Min, which made Dong Min very depressed, but Li Ru didn't think it was strange. This situation was the effect of Dong Zhuo's urge to slap Han Sui and Bian Zhang. Now these two people must have begun to be careful in their hearts, for fear that the other party would accept Dong Zhuo's urge to first, and then use their heads on their necks to make a letter of fame.

In Wuwei City, Han Sui's mansion, Han Sui was sitting opposite a burly man with deep eyes and deep nose in front of him. This man exuded a hint of toughness and heroism, while Han Sui was very upright and had a bit of books, especially compared with the thick and powerful man in front of him, he looked even more elegant and elegant.

"Shoucheng (Ma Teng), the people from the court are almost here to the sacred house. What do you think we should do?"

Han Sui and Ma Teng were originally enemies. Ma Teng followed the former governor of Liangzhou Geng Bi to attack Han Sui and Bian Zhang. Later, Geng Bi discovered that Bian Jiao was corrupt and was about to be punished but was killed. Ma Teng did not want to join the Bian Jiao, so he led his army to rebel and surrendered to Han Sui, and then attacked Han Yang. Later, he was defeated by Huangfu Song, who led his army to support, and Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang. He was driven all the way to Zhangye and colluded with the Xianbei people and stabilized the current defense line.

Later, the Central Plains was in chaos and Huangfu Song had no intention of attacking. The two sides passed by peacefully for a few years. Now Dong Zhuo is uniting Yongzhou and Liangzhou and sending special envoys to recruit him. Han Sui and Bian Zhang both had their own thoughts.

The facts have told them that if the troops in the Central Plains had no time to take care of themselves, their rebellion would be just a joke. The northwest of Xiliang is vast and sparsely populated, and there is not much land suitable for cultivation. They also have to face the attacks and looting of the Xianbei people and the nomadic people in the Western Regions. It is impossible to form any powerful force based on the four northern counties of Xiliang. Dong Min, the current prefect of Wuwei, has almost nothing to do. As long as he concentrates on blocking grain, salt, iron and other materials, Han Sui and Bian Zhang will collapse without fighting.

Ma Teng blinked and stroked his beard and didn't know how to speak, after all, he was later.

Han Sui and Ma Teng have a much better relationship than Bian Zhang, who has a better relationship with the original powerful kingdom of Hanyang. It is precisely because of this that Bian Zhang and the kingdom were stationed in Jianmei and Fanhe, which were stationed in the west, while Han Sui and Ma Teng were stationed in Wuwei.

"Shoucheng, but it's okay to say that. I was tied up by Bian Zhang to rebel. Besides, I rebel because the officials in Xiliang were corrupt, the aristocratic races were rampant, the people were living in trouble, and the Gentiles were uneasy, not to create the rebellion of the emperor. Bian Zhang was originally a foreign clan and never obeyed the king's transformation, which was absolutely incomparable to the words."

Ma Teng nodded and smiled a little awkwardly, "Wen Yue, I know this. I am also a corrupt official, so I come to vote for you instead of the border seal."

"That's good, you and I have the same ambitions, so why can't we say? Now that the imperial court has sent an envoy to Xuanfu, we will arrive in Zhangye soon. We should also have a charter as soon as possible. If we continue to consume things in a mess, we may be taken advantage of by others!"

Ma Teng grinned: "Wen Yue is worried that Bian Zhang will turn to the Grand Master first and then take our sacrifice flag?"

"That's right, Zhang rebelled repeatedly here and only asked for one thing, that is wealth. As long as Taishi Dong can afford the price, he will not hesitate to be on your and my neck, even his own wife and children!"

Ma Teng nodded slowly. Although he had not had much contact with Bian Zhang, he could still see what kind of person Bian Zhang was. What's more, Ma Teng could see clearly the current situation, and this was also an opportunity to clear his stigma. In fact, what Ma Teng never forgets is that he is a descendant of General Fu Bo. If he always carries this stigma on his body, even if he can be rich and famous, he may not have the face to see his parents in the spring.

"Wen Yue, it is no secret that I always hope to return to the court. As a descendant of General Fu Bo, if he is a descendant of General Fu Bo, he will not dare to be buried if he dies, and is ashamed to see his ancestors in Quanxia! So, when you ask me, the Chang'an court has stabilized now. Taishi Dong has made a series of tricks to resolve the original situation of water and fire, and guide the political situation in Chang'an to a stable situation of multiple parties. Outside, it strengthens military existence and starts to control the local area. Not to mention whether Taishi Dong's actions are right or wrong, if it can bring peace and prosperity to Yongzhou and Liangzhou, then it is worth it. We should not fight for war, and in vainly increase war disasters to the people of Liangzhou!"

Han Sui nodded and said, "I understand. Shoucheng means that we can accept requisitions under the premise of stabilizing Liangzhou. What about the conditions?"

"The prefect of Zhangye and the prefect of Jiuquan opened up trade routes. We assumed the responsibility of resisting the Xianbei and the Hu tribes in the Western Regions. The court provided food and grass. Of course, we could exchange war horses, cattle and sheep."

Ma Teng's idea is good, which is equivalent to using a substantial ceasefire to exchange for two legal positions, and legitimately occupying the current territory. However, in Ma Teng's plan, there is no position in Bian Zhang and the kingdom.

Han Sui naturally ignored these two nominal partners. In fact, there are four counties in the northwest of Liangzhou. In addition to the adjacent Jiuquan and Zhangye, there are also Dunhuang and Xihai. The two counties now have no Han settlements at all. They are basically all Hu people. Even if there are Han people, they are slaves of Hu people, or those who live with them have forgotten that they are descendants of Han people.

"Shoucheng said this very much! I think so too, but it's not easy to say whether the court can accept it."

"This is something we need to discuss. If it really doesn't work, you can also make appropriate concessions, but the location of Zhangye is crucial and you cannot leave it lightly."

Han Sui understood Ma Teng's thoughts. Ma Teng meant that he could not be easily deceived from Zhangye. If Dong Zhuo asked Han Sui and Ma Teng to take office south, he would never agree. Han Sui glanced at Ma Teng. In fact, Ma Teng was very careful and absolutely inconsistent with his rough appearance. Many people would be deceived by his rough appearance. Ma Teng is a very scheming person.

Han Sui smiled knowingly and turned the topic in a direction.

"I heard that this time the special envoy Wang Situ once wanted to assassinate Tai Shi Dong, but Tai Shi Dong did not blame him. Instead, he sent him out as the special envoy to recruit Taishou. What do Shoucheng thinks about this?"

Ma Teng narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Wen Yue, Tai Shi Dong used to be a force to defeat others. This is not because Tai Shi Dong is arrogant and invisible, and he feels arrogant. It is because Tai Shi Dong is a soldier and practices military law, so he kills people at any time. This is military law. I believe Wen Yue also understands that the same is true for Tai Shi Dong in the twenty-eight beheadings in the army."

Han Sui looked at Ma Teng in surprise and nodded. Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo's past behavior is not difficult to understand.

"Besides, Master Dong is used to talking about the same thing in the army, but this is not possible in the court. Even the emperor must take into account the interests of all parties. The emperor attaches the most importance to balance and must not do it arbitrarily. Therefore, Master Dong was criticized frequently before and had a bad reputation. Now it seems that Master Dong has understood how to transform his identity as a soldier into the identity of an auxiliary minister, and has gradually become a stance for state affairs. In this way, Master Dong should be able to slowly integrate Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and even Hanzhong. This point is a sign from Huangfu Song's surrender. If even Huangfu Song surrenders, we cannot resist. If we cannot recruit compass, we must escape far away."

Han Sui looked at Ma Teng and sighed in his heart. Ma Teng is a character, definitely not a person who has lived in the past for a long time. It is probably difficult for him to suppress him all the time. If he cannot conquer or kill him, he must establish a stronger relationship.

"Shoucheng, how old are you this year?"

"Thirty-three? Why did Wenyue ask this question?"

"Does there be a child? A man or a woman? How old is it?"

"There are three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Ma Chao is twelve this year. This time, Ma Xiu is nine years old this year, his third son Ma Tie is six years old this year, and his daughter Yun Lu is four years old this year."

Although Ma Teng was strange, he still answered honestly.

Han Sui shook his head regretfully. Ma Teng's children are too young, and his son and daughter are old, so it is not appropriate to form a family of children.

"Shoucheng, in the future, the northwest of Xiliang, I am afraid that you and me will support each other. I originally wanted to form a family with Shoucheng and achieve the beauty of in-laws. Unfortunately, my children are old, so I am afraid it is not suitable. Why not, how good are you and me brothers?"

Ma Teng was stunned and then said happily: "That little brother is really going to climb up!"

"You and I are brothers, but now we are just proof of the gods and have officially become sworn brothers. If you say that you are a high-seller, you are ashamed of your brother. You are 45 years old this year. How old is your life long? You and my brothers will be called "brother". In the future, you and my brothers will support each other and benefit Liangzhou together and serve the great man!"

"Brother said this very well, I dare not obey orders!"
