Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

After Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong converged, they snorted out of the Temporary General Zuo's Mansion. After turning over his horse, he galloped away in the direction of the camp.

After returning to the camp, Dong Zhuo and the generals insisted on parting ways with Huangfu Song.

Three days later, Huangfu Song's class returned to the court and sent people to urge Dong Zhuo again and again, but Dong Zhuo disobeyed his orders and did not move at all.

Huangfu Song had no choice but to lead 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers from his headquarters to return to the court. After Huangfu Song left, Dong Zhuo divided the camp into two.

He himself commanded more than 10,000 elite soldiers to enter the city of Xiangping to defend it, and the rest of the tens of thousands of troops stayed outside the city to station. With tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, he confronted the hundreds of thousands of troops of the kingdom, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

Dong Zhuo's command is actually not weak, almost all the generals, including Zhang Ji, are also from Liangzhou, and most of the elite soldiers are from Liangzhou, Qiang, Hu, and Han.

But Wang Guo, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others are not weak.

Both sides are warlord forces that started in Liangzhou, and the elite under their command are half a pound and eight taels.

In the case of an absolute disadvantage in the number of troops.

With the meter, it is the best choice.

In Xiangping City, the temporary General Zuo's Mansion has been converted into the temporary Dong Zhuo's Mansion.

In the spacious hall, Dong Zhuo was dressed in black armor, sitting on a stool, looking at everyone in the hall condescendingly.

Li Ru was wearing a wide white robe and knelt on Dong Zhuo's right hand. Below him are Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Niu Fu, Li Su and other generals under Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was also strong.

"This time the crusade against the rebels in Liangzhou gave all the credit to the old thief of Huangfu Song. I didn't make an inch, and I was really disgraced. Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, do the generals have a strategy to break the enemy?" Dong Zhuo's face was full of unwillingness and expectation.

Like Zhang Xiu, Dong Zhuo is also yang and yin. There are many generals and few ministers. Generals are good at fighting, but in today's situation, they can't think of a way to break the enemy.

Therefore, the generals all looked at each other and had no idea at all. Then they all looked at Li Ru, who was sitting next to Dong Zhuo.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was both angry and expectant, and he also turned his thick neck to look at Li Ru.

Facing everyone's eyes, Li Ru was very calm and calm, pinched his beauty and thought for a moment before he said to Dong Zhuo: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the art of war is cloudy: "If the enemy is strong, divide it." Although the kingdom, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others are strong and strong, they are not subordinate to each other, which is a taboo for soldiers.

After a pause, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo again: "And." Ma Teng and Han Sui were strong, and the reason why they elected the kingdom as the commander. It is because they lack prestige, and the kingdom is a famous man in the world. Prestigious. But he didn't have many troops of his own. This is handsome and weak, and will be strong. Differentiation and discord can also. "

Hmm. Li Ru is reasonable. Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand and scratched his chin, and his huge eyes lit up and said, "How to separate?"

In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of rebels in Liangzhou, and the situation is more complicated than what Li Ru said.

The kingdom is famous and famous, and is elected as a marshal, but there are not many troops under his command, and his strength is not strong.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are not famous, but they are strong and strong.

There are more than ten people such as Hou Xuan, Li Kan, Cheng Yi, and Zhang Heng, all of whom have their own military powers. Everyone does not belong to each other, but each has its own control.

Although the Liangzhou rebels are strong, they are scattered.

Li Ru already had a plan in his heart, so he pinched his beard and said with a smile: "But people can spread rumors, saying that the kingdom is dissatisfied with the dictatorship of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and wants to unite the rest of the people to attack and destroy Ma Teng and Han Sui." After Ma Teng and Han Sui learned the news, they would inevitably raise troops to attack the kingdom. The two sides killed each other, and no matter who wins, the loss is the strength of the Liangzhou rebels. The Liangzhou rebels weakened, and the power of the lord increased.

"Okay. What a divisive plan. Dong Zhuo was greatly satisfied when he heard this, and praised in front of everyone present: "Li Ruzhen is also a wise man."

Then, Dong Zhuo handed over the matter to Li Ru to handle it, waiting for the opportunity.

The Xiliang rebels had hundreds of thousands of troops, and of course it was impossible to gather in one place. And they each took his own fortification.

Among them, the kingdom is stationed in Lieliucheng, Ma Tengtun is stationed in Jicheng, and Han Suitun is stationed in Shangtai City. The rest of the Xiliang rebels are also based on the city, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

Li Ru sent a fine work to spread rumors in these places, which aroused the suspicion of Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Jicheng.

This city is where the Tianshui County is located, the city is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At this moment, the city is hung with the word "horse" flag, and there are many Liangzhou soldiers armed with spears or standing guard or patrolling and guarding, murderous and murderous.

There is a large mansion in the center of the city, which is the temporary residence of Ma Teng.

In the study full of bamboo slips, Ma Teng was dressed in a black robe, sitting on the main seat with a sword, and below him was his main adviser and brother Ma Guang.

Ma Teng is the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty after General Ma Yuan, but when it comes to Ma Teng's generation, it has been very down.

Ma Teng's father married a Qiang woman and gave birth to Ma Teng because his family was poor and in Liangzhou. When Ma Teng was young, he made a living by chopping wood.

However, he has a majestic face, a strong figure, and is very skilled in bows and horses, and later Liangzhou rebelled, he first joined the Han army, and then simply became a thief marshal, and now it is Weizhen Liangzhou.

"Brother. Now there are rumors in the market that the kingdom is going to unite with Hou Xuan, Cheng Yi and others to defeat me and Han Sui, what do you think?"

Ma Teng looked up at Ma Guang and asked, his voice was very loud and powerful.

Ma Guang pinched the beard on his chin and said, "The kingdom was promoted by my brother and Han Sui to be handsome, but we didn't have much real power, so that we fought with Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, and we were invincible repeatedly. He had already complained. It is reasonable for him to want to destroy his brother and Han Sui. But this may also be Dong Zhuo's ploy. "

Hmm. Ma Teng nodded calmly, he also guessed so. But now there is a problem.

"Now that Huangfu Song has returned to Luoyang, there are only tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Xiangping area. No matter how much he tosses, can he still destroy our hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiliang?But if the kingdom unites with the rest of the candidates and the others and kills me and Han Sui?"

Ma Teng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Ma Guang.

"What does brother mean?" Ma Guang's expression moved, revealing a look of enlightenment.

"It's better to contact Han Sui first and destroy the kingdom. Han Sui and I were the commanders of the left and right, and jointly commanded the Liangzhou army. In this way, our orders will be smoother, and we can attack Dong Zhuo first, and then attack Sanfu. Ma Teng's face showed a solemn look, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Although the ancestor was the founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty, now that he is a traitor, he is ambitious. Otherwise, what would you do attacking Sanfu?

Whether it was Li Ru's plan or the kingdom really wanted to kill them. It's better to strike first and kill the kingdom first.

In the past, when they first started their army, they needed the reputation of the kingdom. Now that the fame and prestige of him and Han Sui have also risen, the kingdom has not only no effect, but has become an obstacle.

"No.

Ma Guang had already guessed, so he suddenly agreed, and went down to do this matter.

Soon after, Ma Teng and Han Sui agreed to crusade against the kingdom.

Half a month later, Ma Teng left his brother Ma Guang to stay in Jicheng, and personally commanded 50,000 Ma Bu's army, and brazenly killed Lieliu City.

At the same time, Han Sui also led tens of thousands of horse infantry troops under his command to attack Lieliucheng.

When the kingdom heard the news, it hurriedly gathered a large army to build fortifications and prepare to defend them. However, after Ma Teng and Han Sui's army reached Lieliu City, the battle lasted only one day. Some of the kingdom's subordinates opened the city gate, led the army of Ma Teng and Han Sui into Lieliu City, seized the city, and killed the kingdom.

Ma Teng and Han Sui annexed the kingdom's soldiers and horses respectively, and collected money, grain, and baggage.

This civil strife reduced the strength of the Liangzhou rebels somewhat, but the strength of Ma Teng and Han Sui was greatly increased.

And the two of them were not satisfied with this, and discussed eating Dong Zhuo.

Lieliu City at night is cold. The blood stains after the battle had not yet been cleaned up, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

In a mansion in the city, Ma Teng and Han Sui's soldiers and horses each occupied half of the territory.

Inside the hall.

Ma Teng and Han Sui placed a desk in the center of the hall, and each of them sat on the desk.

Han Sui is in his thirties, with soft facial features and a bias towards Confucianism. In fact, he is indeed a literati, and he is very famous, and he is a famous person in Liangzhou.

Han Sui raised his head and looked at Ma Teng and said, "This matter is over. Judging from the bright side, the strength, strength, and spirit of our Liangzhou army have all been lost. After Dong Zhuo hears the news, he may raise troops to attack us.

"We can take advantage of Dong Zhuo's underestimation of the enemy and design to annihilate him. But there is a point.

Speaking of this, Han Sui paused and gave Ma Teng a "you know" expression.

Of course, Ma Teng understood, and the two of them joined forces to kill the Dashuai Kingdom, annexed the kingdom's troops, and collected the kingdom's money, grain, and baggage.

They are both afraid of becoming the next kingdom and are very wary of each other.

After thinking for a while, Ma Teng raised his head and said to Han Sui, "We are about brothers. Then I will send my eldest son, Ma Chao, into your army as a hostage. You have sent your firstborn to me as a hostage. So that we can trust each other completely. After we jointly defeated Dong Zhuo, and then attacked Sanfu, we achieved great success. Return the hostages. How?

" Han Sui pinched his beard when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he nodded slowly and said, "Indeed, only in this way can we trust each other. "

Both of them are the leaders of the rebels in Liangzhou, and they know each other well.

Han Sui immediately saluted the older Ma Teng, calling him "brother". After Ma Teng helped Han Sui, he was also called "virtuous brother".

The two are about brothers and send protons to each other. Then he sent a message to the rest of the leaders of the Xiliang rebels, Hou Cheng, Cheng Yi and others, plotting to attack Dong Zhuo.

Soon after, Han Sui devised a plan and ordered one of his generals to write a letter to Dong Zhuo's army, deceive Dong Zhuo, and lure the enemy in.
