Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 621
In the Xiliang area, the Qiang people have many tribes, large and small. Some tribes believe in Ma Chao and his sons and think that Ma Chao is the "Shenweitian General". People, only shed the blood of the Qiang people, and they are the real Qiang people, and the position of King Liang should belong to them. Therefore, Han Sui took advantage of this and secretly colluded with the leaders of these Qiang tribes to prepare Take Maten instead.

So who are the Qiang tribes that oppose Ma Teng? Xianling Qiang, Shaodang Qiang, Lejie Qiang, Dangjian Qiang, Han Qiang, Qi Dong Qiang, Qianren Qiang, Laojie Qiang, Gua Yang Qiang, Burn He Qiang, the ten major Qiang tribes, refused to accept Ma's father and son.

On this day, Han Sui summoned the Qiang leaders of the ten major tribes and discussed, "I tell you all, our big event will be successful soon!"

As he said that, Han Sui took out the letter Cao Cao had written to him, held it up in front of his chest and said, "This is a letter written to me by King Wei, asking us to attack Tianshui and cut off Ma Teng's retreat! Then King Wei Then we will attack back and forth with us and kill Ma Teng and his son together!"

Ma Ke Shaoman, the leader of Shaodang Qiang, asked: "Han Wenyue, as far as I know, the most powerful prince in the Central Plains is the King of Hebei who is entrenched in Hebei, and this King of Hebei has a close relationship with Ma Teng. If we join forces with the King of Wei you mentioned, will this anger the King of Hebei?"

Everyone in the world knows what Liu Wei did in the grassland. To put it bluntly, it is famous all over the world, but in the eyes of foreigners, Liu Wei is notorious. They all say that Liu Wei is a devil, sent by heaven To punish their nomads.

Han Sui lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "No, Liu Wei is too busy to take care of himself now, even if he wants to help Ma Teng, he can't reach out, otherwise, Sun Ce will be in trouble, he should personally send troops to attack Cao Cao and replace Sun Ce. Let Ma Teng send troops to attack Cao Cao instead of using food and grass as a trade."

Although the leaders of these Qiang tribes didn't quite understand what Han Sui meant, they all heard Han Sui say that Liu Wei would not come to anger them, which reassured them.

The leader of Han and Qiang, Mi Yehua, let out a long breath, then stood up and said, "Since the King of Hebei will not punish us, what are we waiting for? Let's go to Tianshui and attack Ma Teng's lair first!"

Immediately, the leaders of the ten major Qiang people returned to their tribes and used up their own troops and horses, and went to Han Sui's headquarters with 17 soldiers and horses, a total of [-] horses, and rushed to Tianshui in great numbers.

Seeing that the Qiang rebel army led by Han Sui was powerful, Ma Xiu, the guard of Ji County, did not dare to fight against them and abandoned the city. Therefore, Han Sui easily captured Tianshui County, Ma Teng's hometown.

... "Uncle, the bandit Cao is holding up his exemption card. There must be a conspiracy. I think it's better to stop the troops and return to Xiliang. Cao Cao will not dare to chase us when we retreat! Why bother here instead of suffering!"

The counselor Pang Rou also persuaded: "Yes, my lord, if you were in Xiliang, Han Sui would not dare to do anything, but now that you are leading the army outside, what will Han Sui do if you can't keep it together?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Wen Yue is my righteous brother, how could he betray me!"

Ma Teng stopped Pang Rou who wanted to continue talking.

"Report! General Ma Xiu, who guards Tianshui, begs to see the lord!"

"Why is Matthew here?"

Ma Teng's heart suddenly tugged.

"Father! That guy Han Sui united ten Qiang tribes with a total of 17 troops to attack Tianshui. I dare not confront him. Now everything west of Chang'an has fallen into Han Sui's hands!"

After finishing speaking, Matthew fell to his knees.

"puff!"

After Ma Xiu finished speaking, Ma Teng spat out a mouthful of old blood and shouted loudly: "Han Wenyue, I treat you like a brother, but you treat me like this!"

"Father! (Uncle!)"

The Ma brothers all stepped forward, wanting to help Ma Teng.

But Ma Teng signaled the crowd not to need it, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about me, quickly withdraw all the soldiers and horses to Chang'an City, if it's too late, Cao thief should know about it! Go!"

Ma Teng braced himself, trying to stand up staggeringly, but just as he stood up straight, Ma Teng felt his eyes darken, and then he fell back and fell unconscious.

"Ma Tie, you are here to watch over your father, and the rest will withdraw with me!"

When Ma Teng fell, Ma Chao, the eldest son, had to carry the girder. Ma Chao immediately organized his troops to retreat to Chang'an.

As the Hangu Pass was closed, Cao Cao looked at the barracks of the Xiliang army neighing outside the pass, and said, "The Xiliang army is in chaos. Han Sui must have succeeded. The news has reached here. Within three days, Ma Teng will definitely withdraw his troops!"

Li Dian, who was beside Cao Cao, asked, "Master, are you so sure that Han Sui has betrayed Ma Teng? Ma Teng's army will withdraw within three days?"

"Mancheng, even though Han Sui and Ma Teng became brothers of the opposite sex, Han Sui was given the nickname Huanghe Jiuqu. He is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. Ma Teng has been suppressing Han Sui in Xiliang. How can Han Wenyue be reconciled? , plus the benefits that Ma Teng obtained from Liu Ziyan and the materials looted in Guanzhong were all placed in Tianshui County, and Han Wenyue would definitely betray Ma Teng if he rushed to those materials, and Han Wenyue was not an indecisive person. Afterwards, the army will definitely be raised immediately. If the progress is fast, Tianshui is already in Han Sui's pocket! Ma Teng has become a rootless duckweed!"

"It's still a clever strategy of the princes!"

A smile of admiration appeared on Li Dian's face.

"Lord!"

While the two were talking, a guard handed a letter to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao opened the letter, his smiling face sank immediately. After a long time, Cao Cao sighed: "Oh! He lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot!"

"Han Sui united Shaodang Qiang and other ten Qiang tribes, gathered a total of 17 cavalry, and took down all the counties and counties west of Chang'an. This destroyed Ma Teng, and another Han Sui came! I originally wanted to take this opportunity Pacify Xiliang, obtain war horses from Xiliang, recruit Xiliang soldiers, and train powerful cavalry to compete with Liu Ziyan, but now... alas!"

Cao Cao sighed again, turned around and was about to pass through Hangu Pass.

Li Dian suddenly said, "My lord, why don't you use Liu Wei's strength to fight against Han Sui!"

Cao Cao, who was about to go down the steps, stopped abruptly when he heard the word Liu Wei, then stared at Li Dian and asked, "Mancheng, what did you say?"

Li Dian repeated it again, and replied, "My lord, why don't you make trouble and use Liu Wei's power to restrain Han Sui!"

"Mancheng is going back to my room with me. Tell me in detail how to use Liu Ziyan's power to pull him in!"

Cao Cao took Li Dian's hand and walked into the pass...
