Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Changan.

"Brother Shoucheng, we can't wait any longer. Let's count down the princes in the north. Those who can still compete with Cao Cao are the Huainan Allied Forces. Yuan Shao has the strength to fight but stands still. You and I have a heavy army and are stationed in Guanzhong, backed by the Xiliang cavalry. The third advantage is that if you don't move, once Cao Cao frees up his hand to kill Yuan Shao, you and I will be like withered bones in a grave, and we can only lead our necks to be slaughtered."

"What do you mean by the treaty?"

Han Suigong handed over his hand and said, "I also asked Brother Shoucheng to write a letter, recalling the eldest son Ma Chao to join forces, and use the advantage of the Xiliang cavalry to seize the western part of Yuzhou and approach Xuchang. Under a pincer attack from both sides, Cao Cao can be ordered to throw a rat weapon, and then I am writing a letter calling Yuan Shao to quickly raise his troops and combine the strength of the three families to destroy Cao Cao, and we will definitely achieve hegemony."

Ma Teng had a headache. Ma Chao was not a worry-free person. He was really not sure about recalling him through a letter.

Moreover, the current Ma Chao is not the prisoner who was kidnapped back to Bingzhou by Zhang Wuqiang. He is Zhang Wu's adopted brother, the famous General Fubo. If he really wanted to come back, he would have needed Ma Teng's letter to summon him. came back.

Han Sui's idea was good, but it was somewhat feasible. Ma Teng really didn't dare to be overly optimistic.

After a secret conversation, the two returned home.

After some hesitation, Ma Teng wrote a letter, summoned Pang De, and ordered him to go to Hangu Pass late at night.

In fact, Ma Teng's ambition to dominate the world was not as urgent as Han Sui's.

Even after Ma Chao was granted the title of General Fubo, his rejection of Cao Cao was no longer so strong.

At this point, there is no hope of saving the Han people. Ma Teng's greatest wish is just to restore the glory of his family.

But he and Han Sui were close friends with each other. Once they fell out, I am afraid that the first person Cao Cao would have to deal with would not be Yuan Shao of Jizhou.

The reason why Ma Teng still wants to dominate Guanzhong and Xiliang is simply to gain some political capital before the unification of the Northland, and wait until the day comes to exchange for capital for him to become an important minister of the court, thus making the Ma family become a top family. among the list.

But he doesn't dare to gamble now.

Until the dust settles, no one can be sure whether the final overlord of the North will be Cao Cao or Yuan Shao.

Of course Ma Teng also has selfish motives. Cao Cao is powerful and Yuan Shao is weak, so it is always better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake.

Betting on Yuan Shao has higher risks, but the benefits are greater.

"General, someone outside the tent calls me an old friend of the general. Please see the general."

It was midnight, and Ma Chao was drowsily awakened by a messenger.

"Old friend? That's ridiculous. Who in Chang'an City is not an old friend of this general? Has anyone passed on their names?"

"He claims to be Pang De from Nan'an County."

Pound?

This is quite substantial.

Ma Chao wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, his sleepiness receded by seven points, and he sat up straight.

"Go and invite him in."

"Here."

"and many more!"

The messenger stopped and turned around: "General, what else do you have to say?"

"Let Pang De wait first, and go ask General Huang to come to our military tent to talk."

Before going out to the army, Zhang Wu did not clarify the priorities here. If it were anyone else, Ma Chaoyun would be right, but the one who worked with him was Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong was a great teacher to him, and his military rank was still higher than that of Ma Chao. It was difficult for Ma Chao to pretend not to see him.

"Order."

Ma Chao stood up and put on a robe, hung another sharp knife on his waist, sat down in the tent and waited.

Not long after, Huang Zhong dressed neatly and entered Ma Chao's military tent: "Why do you want to invite Meng Qi?"

Ma Chao hurriedly stood up to greet him. After Huang Zhong explained the reason, and after the two of them deliberated, they called the armored soldiers and asked Pang De to enter the account.

After a while, Pound entered the camp.

At this time, a simple banquet has been prepared in the camp.

"Long time no see, Meng Qi is getting stronger and stronger."

"You're welcome, Ling Ming, please take a seat."

Ma Chao did not introduce Huang Zhong, who was accompanying him, but kept urging Pang De to drink.

Pang De didn't know the details of Huang Zhong, so he couldn't rashly take out Ma Teng's letter.

The two of them, who harbored evil intentions, drank together from midnight to dawn.

"Your Majesty is here, but what can my father say?"

Pang De was slightly drunk, looked at Huang Zhong aside, hesitated for a moment, took out the letter and handed it to Ma Chao:

"My lord has something to say. The eldest son has been away from home for a long time, and I miss him very much."

Ma Chao held down the letter without reading it, and he could almost guess the content. Pound asked back: "Do you think Guanzhong Han and Ma Ke have the potential to dominate the world?"

Pang De was an honest man, and with the wine on his side, he said truthfully: "Separating one country is fine, but there is no hope of dominating the world."

Dominating the world does not just require ambition.

Army, horses, food and grass, plus birth and fame, the right time, place and people are also needed.

The military strength in Xiliang Pass is indeed not weak, but that's all. If you don't occupy any of the remaining areas, and the defense of the city is still lacking, how can you talk about dominating the world?

"I know that Ling Ming is a man with great ambitions, why not join Ming Zhu instead?"

Pang De's eyes suddenly widened.

No matter what the situation is, the eldest son persuades him to rebel against the lord. Isn't this a lie?

"Young master, why do you say this? Pang De's loyalty is evident to the world, and he vows to follow his lord in advance and retreat."

"Why are you so excited? I didn't ask you to rebel against my father, I just said I would help him find a better way out."

Pang De's face turned pale for a moment, and now that he had finished speaking, he really wanted to hear what other shocking words Ma Chao could say: "Please Meng Qi, tell me frankly."

"My father's concern is nothing more than to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, to preserve his strength and watch the general trend of the north. But now he has asked you to send a letter to invite me, it is nothing more than to be more optimistic about Yuan Shao. That's the problem, Ling Ming really doesn't know Youzhou How has it changed? That Yuan Benchu, who was known as the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke, was benevolent throughout the country. In fact, he used vicious methods to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Youzhou. Is such a person really a match for the Prime Minister? I can tell you clearly that my father bet on the wrong thing. ”

Ma Chao stood up: "Looking at Cao Ying, not to mention the righteousness of occupying it, there are countless good ministers and fierce generals. He is also a world-famous general like my elder brother. He can fight alone against 50,000 aliens without falling behind, and he is as brave as the overlord. It will be sooner or later to wipe out the north. It's a matter. How can you bear to watch my father ruin his future because he bet on the wrong thing?"

"Young master, what you said makes sense. I will go back and explain the reason right now, and ask the lord to make a decision."

"My father is stubborn. Ling Ming can't persuade him. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to separate Han and Ma."

"This matter is important. I don't dare to make the decision without permission, so please ask the young master."

"Ling Ming, I am heart-to-heart with you, and I will let you listen to all the military planes. If you don't obey, how dare I let you go."

Ma Chao's smile became brighter and brighter, and he felt that it was a wise move to call Huang Zhong to come and hold the battle, otherwise he might not be able to win Pound by himself.

Pang De felt something was wrong and stood up to leave.

Huang Zhong immediately picked up his sword and slashed it across. Pang De blocked it with his sword and took more than ten steps back before he could stabilize his body.

His heart suddenly jumped and he secretly told Ma Chao.

This middle-aged man who has been keeping company is probably Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, the fierce generals under Cao Cao!
