The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 443
Li Yuan sorted out his thoughts and said, "Although General Han's words are reasonable, I don't know if you have thought about it. If you were asked to choose an opponent, would you pick a soft persimmon or would you challenge an opponent stronger than yourself?"

"Of course I am..." Han Sui knew that he would choose weak opponents, defeat the weak ones first and annex them, so that his own power would increase, and he would challenge stronger ones when he was strong enough. The enemy, but if he said that, it would be tantamount to overturning what he just said. He found that Li Yuan was more cunning than him.

"General Han is a smart man, I think you must know what to do," Li Yuan picked up a big chicken leg and ate it, looking very relaxed, but in fact he didn't eat well these days, he was hungry...

Li Yuan said while eating: "General Han, I heard that many of your Xiliang Han people married Qiang people and Hu people, and you used to be Beigong Boyu's subordinate. Is this true?"

"But there is this matter." Han Sui nodded slightly. He didn't know why Li Yuan suddenly brought up this matter. Because Xiliang is close to the border, he often communicates with Hu people and Qiang people. He has been in Beigong Boyu for nearly 20 years. Except for Xiliang people, few outsiders know what happened before, and he doesn't know where Li Yuan learned about it.

"As the so-called people who are not of our race have different hearts, both Liu Zhang and Liu Bei are relatives of the Han family. Liu Bei may hate me, but from the perspective of righteousness, he must want to eliminate the Qiang and Hu people even more. Cao Cao must have thought this way too, the internal struggle among the Han children is our own family fighting against our own family, but the Qiang and Hu people are both foreign races, so he must be more inclined to eliminate foreign races.” In fact, what Li Yuan said was true , in "history", Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan after unifying Hebei.

Han Sui frowned when he heard this, and said: "General Li's words are wrong. Although there are many Qiang and Hu people in Xiliang, and many people have mixed blood with Qiang and Hu people, General Ma and I are pure Han people. Why should Liu Bei and Cao Cao worry?"

"I often heard in Xiapi that the people of Xiliang are tough and hard to tame. It is because of the presence of Hu people and Qiang people that this happens. How can Liu Bei, who is a member of the Han family, tolerate this situation? General Han, maybe you think what I said is unbelievable, but I have no reason to deceive you, because it is of no use to me." Li Yuan felt that it was almost enough to say this, and it would be easy to explain too much suspicious.

Han Sui also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too stalemate. No matter how he offends Li Yuan, it is not a good thing. He smiled and said, "Maybe General Li is very wise, so I can't understand your thoughts, please forgive me."

"It's okay, I'm still very grateful for General Han's hospitality." Li Yuan clasped his fists and said without any dissatisfaction on his face.

"General Li, I don't think it's better than this. I'll send soldiers and horses to escort you to Wuwei with you tomorrow. What do you think?" Han Sui proposed to escort Li Yuan. In fact, he was afraid that Ma Teng would suffer from Li Yuan, so he did so. They decided to go to Wuwei together. Although Ma Teng has high prestige, he is not as resourceful as him. With him by his side, he is not afraid of Li Yuan's tricks.

"That's the best, I'm relieved to be escorted by General Han." Li Yuan agreed without hesitation, but he already knew what Han Sui was thinking, so he couldn't help calling Han Sui an old fox in his heart.

Han Sui is indeed an old fox. Although he doesn't trust Li Yuan, he also knows that Li Yuan is a person who cannot be offended, so he is always cautious when dealing with Li Yuan, neither agreeing to any of Li Yuan's requests, nor Li Yuan was unhappy because of his refusal, and Li Yuan felt helpless when he spoke in such a tight manner. This method was much more sophisticated than Yang Song.

Early the next morning, Han Sui sent [-] cavalry to escort Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's Tiger Guard battalion also rode on Xiliang's tall horses. , Li Yuantai suddenly thought that if he could join forces with Ma Teng, he could buy a large number of horses from Xiliang to form more cavalry.

Because of Han Sui's escort all the way, Li Yuan traveled unimpeded all the way. When he arrived in the town, the local prefect came out to greet him, and he arranged a large banquet for everyone, which was much better than when he went to Tongguan.The speed of the army was very fast, and it took only ten days to reach Wuwei from Tianshui, which made Li Yuan lament the benefits of having horses even more.

Because Han Sui had sent someone to Wuwei to notify Ma Teng in advance, Li Yuan saw a large group of people waiting under the city gate when he arrived in Wuwei. The one standing in the middle was Ma Teng. Li Yuan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar The figure, the infinite emotion in the heart.

"General Ma, I haven't seen you for many years and you still have the same prestige!" Li Yuan jumped off his horse and walked up to Ma Teng and said excitedly. Good friends are average, perhaps because they have fought together before, so they feel this way.

"Hahahaha, General Li, you are more majestic than ever." Ma Teng laughed loudly, he could see that he was very happy, and he held Li Yuan's hand tightly, "General Li, I don't know that Ma Teng can Shall I call you Wen Zhong?"

Li Yuan could clearly feel the warmth and aging of Ma Teng's hand. He smiled and said, "Of course, I fought Lu Bu with you in the Hulao Pass in the past, and you gave me a horse afterwards. The relationship between us is still there." Is it worth sharing each other?"

"That's good, hahahahaha!" Ma Teng laughed again. He thought that Li Yuan would become arrogant as his power grew, but Li Yuan did not disappoint him. Same as years ago, nothing has changed.

Seeing the good relationship between Ma Teng and Li Yuan, Han Sui felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and even felt a little jealous, even a little afraid that Ma Teng would trust Li Yuan too much.

"By the way, General Li, this is Ma Chao, a dog named Mengqi." Li Yuan pointed to Ma Chao standing behind him.Ma Chao is very tall and strong. Ma Teng is already considered tall, but Ma Chao is a little taller than Ma Teng, and his eyes are piercing, which gives him an aura of calmness and self-prestige.

"Ma Chao has seen General Li!" Ma Chao clasped his fists and saluted Li Yuan, but his tone was a little arrogant. In fact, he is 28 years old this year, which is not too young. It's just Teng, most people in Xiliang respect the brave, so Ma Chao is very popular in Xiliang, even Han Sui can't compare to him.

Li Yuan didn't mind Ma Chao's arrogance, nodded and said: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. Ma Chao is a handsome man, so he must be a tiger general."Ma Chao was a little proud of being praised by Li Yuan, after all Li Yuan is also a very good hero.
