Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 275 Invincible

"This damned guy, I fell for him!" Ma Teng cursed secretly after hearing Liu He's words, but he had no choice now, after all, Liu He was indeed helping him no matter what. Although this method does not directly send troops, the final result can indeed prevent his foundation from being annexed by Han Sui.

A few days later, Liu He reported to the court that Ma Teng, the former governor of Yongzhou, would be the Sili Xiaowei, and Zhong Yao would be the Sili Xiaowei's director, Zhao Yan would be the Sima of the Sili Xiaowei, and Ma Chao would be the Sima. General Jianzhong, governor of Yongzhou, Chi Jie, officially took over Ma Teng's foundation.

When the news came out, many officials expressed their congratulations to Ma Teng, but Ma Teng smiled wryly in his heart, because although his post of Lieutenant of Sili seems to have a lot of power, in fact, Liu He has secretly deprived him of all power. It's just a false name, the real power of Sili Xiaowei's Mansion is in the hands of Chang Shi Zhongyou and Sima Zhao Yan.

"I obviously didn't get anything, it's just a false job, but in the eyes of outsiders, it has a lot of glory, and the real beneficiary, Liu He, has gained more fame because he voluntarily gave up the position of Captain Sili, People in the ruling and opposition circles all praised him for his lack of fame and power, he was simply praised as a role model, and even the emperor promoted his title to Marquis of Wuxiang, which is nothing short of ridiculous." Looking at the infinite scenery Liu He, Ma Teng's heart was full of bitterness, and he secretly shook his head and sighed.

However, Ma Teng couldn't say anything, he could only pretend to be very happy and accept the officials' congratulations.

And then, Liu He acted as the mediator between Ma Teng and Han Sui. Liu He asked Han Sui to lead his army back immediately, return all the land occupied by Ma Chao, and take the initiative to take responsibility for the war, compensating Ma Chao for [-] horses and [-] grains. Thousands of dendrobium, three thousand catties of gold, and ten thousand bolts of silk.

Everyone, including Han Sui, knew that the reason why Liu He opened his mouth so loudly was to anger Han Sui so that Han Sui could not agree to his conditions, and Han Sui could not agree to his conditions. It is absolutely impossible to gain a foothold in front of the people of the world, so Han Sui rejected Liu He's conditions as a matter of course, and ordered to step up the attack on Chencang.

When Liu He saw that Han Sui refused to agree, he immediately announced that Han Sui was wantonly creating wars, destroying peace, and harming the interests of the people, and led his troops to dispatch troops to Han Sui's Anding and Beidi counties.

Liu He's dispatch of troops this time was as fast as lightning. Immediately after the announcement of the crusade against Han Sui, he led the army that had already gathered in Zuo Fengyi in the early morning of the next day. Captured Han Sui's Quaigu and Yinpan counties, directly threatening Linjing, the stable government.

On the other hand, 1 Han troops and 2 Hun soldiers under the command of Hu Xiongnu Zhonglang Wei Yan, who had arrived on time, also took the opportunity to launch a powerful offensive and captured Lingzhou and Beidi in a short time. Fuping County, the first county, was about to encircle Anding with Liu He's army. This made Anding's guard Yang Qiu suddenly frightened, and hurriedly asked Han Sui for help.

As soon as Han Sui heard about this situation, he immediately realized Liu He's intentions. In fact, from the very beginning of Liu He's "mediation", Han Sui knew that Liu He had no good intentions, so he ordered Yang Qiu to take precautions quietly, but even In this way, Yang Qiu was still defeated, and Anding fell into the siege of Liu and the [-] army.

Han Sui knew that An Ding, just like its name, played a role in stabilizing the overall situation of his entire Liangzhou. Once the stability was lost, Liu He would lead his army to attack Wuwei County in a devastating manner. Once Wuwei was captured, I will completely lose contact with the four counties of Hexi. In this way, I will only be left with the three counties of Jincheng, Hanyang and Longxi, and the land of these three counties looks very large, but Hanyang County has just encountered the flames of war , now there is almost no combat power, and a considerable part of the people living in Longxi County are Qiang people, and my influence among the Qiang people is not as good as that of Ma Teng and his son. He burnt high incense.It is impossible to expect them to be of help at all, so once Anding and Wuwei are captured, Han Sui actually only has the power of Jincheng County, and with this power to deal with the combination of Liu He and Ma Chao, it is simply impossible. It's no different from dying.

"Damn Liu He, the army is making rapid progress all the way, and it is almost invincible. It can be seen that he has planned it for a long time. It's a pity that I, Han Sui, fell into the trick of the thief. It's too late to say anything now."

"My lord, I advised you not to fall out with Ma Teng when I was dismissed from office. Given the current situation in Guanzhong, only if you and Ma Teng sincerely unite and fight hand in hand can you guarantee that you will not fail. Now you are the first to fall out with each other. In this way In the first place, I am afraid that the great cause will not be guaranteed, for the current plan, we can only fight against Liu He together by joining hands again, so as to ensure that our foundation in Liangzhou is not lost."

Seeing Han Sui sighing, Cheng Gongying hurried forward and said.

However, Han Sui sighed: "Gongying, I understand everything you said, but judging from the current situation, even if I am willing to abandon all hatred, is Ma Chao willing to cooperate with me? He has the opportunity to carve up my territory now. Father Ma Teng is still in Chang'an as a hostage, no matter how we look at it, Ma Chao will never cooperate with us."

"This..." Cheng Gongying also sighed deeply when he heard the words. Now that things have come to an end, Ma Chao is probably really unwilling to cooperate with his side. at this time.

"Can we just kill ourselves like this?" Cheng Gongying was silent for a long time, then meditated silently, and then said decisively after a while: "At this point, we have only one way, and that is to try our best in a stable place. Hold back Liu He's army, and at the same time send people in the rear to forcibly collect troops and collect taxes. As long as we can persist in the first half of the year, the situation will probably improve."

"But in this way, we have to face the rebellion of the people. If Liu He still won't retreat after half a year, then we will face the attack of Liu He's army and the rebellious people at the same time. At that time, we may die. faster."

Han Sui shook his head at first, and then thought that this was his only solution at present, otherwise, he might not be able to support it for half a year. At that time, his benevolence would only lead to more population and taxes under Liu He's command. , it really doesn't do me any good.

So Han Sui finally gritted his teeth and said: "That's it! If we don't do this, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance of winning. If we do it, at least there is still a glimmer of hope. I believe that in half a year, Liu He will attract Yuan Shao and Cao Cao." The jealousy of those great warlords, at that time, we and those great warlords will cooperate with each other to deal with Liu He, and the ownership of this level is really unknown."
