Chapter 210 Han Sui Invasion
This person is Han Sui who is entrenched in Liangzhou.
Han Sui, also known as Wenyue, was born in Jincheng County, Liangzhou. His original name was Han Yue, and he was later renamed Sui. He was first famous in Xizhou. He was kidnapped by the Qiang and Hu rebels and elected as their leader. He raised an army to rebel in the name of killing the eunuchs and gathered hundreds of thousands of people.
, defeated Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and other famous generals, and was later recruited by the court and named the prefect of Jincheng. He and Ma Teng were opposite-sex brothers.
Han Sui has always been a very ambitious man. He always wanted to dominate Liangzhou and then march into the Central Plains. However, the position of Liangzhou governor was taken by Ma Teng. Originally, the two were on equal terms, but now Ma Teng's status is higher than Han Sui's.
Han Sui was very unhappy.
After Liu Yu occupied Guanzhong, Han Sui found that his opportunity had come. If he sent troops to attack Guanzhong while Liu Yu was still in Guanzhong, there was a high chance of driving Liu Yu out. And now Liu Yu deployed
The fact that a large amount of money and grain were used to build Guanzhong made Han Sui even more eager to take action.
Faced with such a huge temptation, Han Sui certainly wanted to do it. Han Sui was a wily figure. He planned to encourage Ma Teng to attack Liu Yu, let the two of them fight each other, and then go out to pick peaches at the last moment.
Han Sui knew that Ma Teng had a bad temper and was quite ambitious. As long as Han Sui kept tempting him, Ma Teng would most likely send troops.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. Han Sui came to Liangzhou Governor's Mansion and prepared to discuss national affairs with Ma Teng.
Ma Teng was very wary of this opposite-sex brother. Han Sui's usual attitude towards him let Ma Teng know that Han Sui was not a person willing to submit to others. The soldiers and horses in Han Sui's hands also made Ma Teng very jealous.
When Han Sui came to visit, Ma Teng was testing Ma Chao's skills. Ma Teng was very concerned about his son. Ma Chao's bravery was famous in Liangzhou, but he still needed to study hard in terms of intelligence and strategy. Ma Teng asked Ma Chao to hide in
Inside the house, let him learn how Ma Teng dealt with Han Sui.
Han Sui rarely came to visit, and Ma Teng also came out to greet him in person.
In front of outsiders, the two behaved in unison, making others envious of their brotherhood. In their hearts, they wished each other would die soon.
After entering the governor's office, Han Sui said to Ma Teng: "Shou Cheng, we in Liangzhou are really lucky to have you as the governor in Liangzhou."
Ma Teng didn't know what kind of medicine Han Sui was selling in his gourd, so he said humbly: "It's all valued by the imperial court, and I will do my best."
After the two sides complimented each other a few times, Han Sui said: "Does Shoucheng know that Liu Yu has defeated Li Jue and others and occupied the entire Guanzhong?"
"I just learned about this matter. King Zhao Liu Yu has met me several times, and I also admire King Zhao's style. It is a blessing for the people of the world to have a capable person like King Zhao sitting in the court.
"When he heard that Han Sui mentioned Guanzhong, Ma Teng was not a fool. He estimated that Han Sui would say something, so Ma Teng would definitely not fall into his scheme now.
Han Sui found out that Ma Teng was not fooled, so he decided to add more fuel to the fire and said seductively: "The wealth in Guanzhong is the best base for fighting for hegemony in the world. Now it has been taken by King Zhao. In my opinion, sooner or later, the world will be taken over by King Zhao."
You can give it. Shoucheng, you have to make plans in advance."
"Thank you for the reminder, brother. I will send an envoy to Chang'an immediately to express my loyalty to King Zhao." Ma Teng stood up and said.
Han Sui saw that Ma Teng had misunderstood, and said quickly: "Shoucheng, you have misunderstood. What I mean is that King Zhao now occupies Guanzhong, and our Liangzhou is next to him. He may send troops next to force me to wait."
Surrender. Brother Wei thinks we need to make plans in advance and not be controlled by others, don’t you think so?”
Ma Teng waved his hands and objected: "Brother, you are worrying too much. I, Liangzhou, have always been law-abiding. How could King Zhao attack a loyal minister? To say the least, if King Zhao feels that we are a threat, we just need to
Just go to Chang'an to express your surrender, it's not a big deal at all."
Han Sui felt why Ma Teng had become so pedantic, so he pointed it out directly and said: "Shou Cheng, these are troubled times. King Zhao Liu Yu will not tolerate our separatist rule in Liangzhou, and sooner or later they will take action against us. I think instead of passively defending,
It would be better to drive Liu Yu out of Guanzhong while Liu Yu's foothold is not yet stable. When the time comes, taking his brother as the lord of Guanzhong and becoming the leader among tens of thousands of people will be many times better than being the governor of Liangzhou."
Ma Teng smiled in his heart. It seems that Han Sui has always been so ambitious. He asked me to send troops to attack Liu Yu. When Liu Yu and I are both injured, will you, Han Sui, talk about brotherhood? When the time comes, there will be a whole corpse. Count you.
Han Sui showed loyalty.
Ma Teng pretended to be panicked and said: "Brother, please don't say such frightening words. I just want to live the rest of my life in peace."
"How could a man be so timid when he was born? Shoucheng, you have changed. You are not like the heroic man I knew back then." When the temptation failed, Han Sui used the method of provoking the general, pretending to be sad and angry.
Ma Teng said in panic: "Brother, please don't embarrass me. I'm going to return my official duties, so I won't keep my brother. Please do as you please."
Ma Teng began to see off the guests, but Han Sui had no choice but to look at Ma Teng coldly, then turned and left.
After Han Sui left, Ma Chao, who was hiding in the house, came out and said, "Father, what Uncle Han just said makes sense. Why don't you send troops?"
Ma Teng smiled and said: "Meng Qi, you still need to learn some things. Some people seem to be loyal and honest, but they are often the most untrustworthy."
Ma Chao can learn how to fight and kill without a teacher, but Ma Chao doesn't understand this very well. Seeing Ma Chao's confused look, Ma Teng shook his head and continued to test Ma Chao's skills.
After Han Sui returned to his camp, he walked back and forth in the military tent.
Ma Teng didn't fall into the trap, and Han Sui was very distressed. The original plan of catching peaches from behind was now impossible. And looking at Ma Teng's posture, it seemed that he would give Liu Yu a message.
Although in fact Ma Teng would not do this, Han Sui judged others by himself and did not trust Ma Teng.
After careful consideration, Han Sui decided to unite with the Qiang people to kill Liu Yu when Liu Yu's foothold was not stable.
Han Sui became active and continued to lobby various Qiang tribes. The Qiang people also drooled over the rich Guanzhong, but they had no choice but to hide this ambition in their hearts because the Han people were strong. Now Han Sui came to lobby and prepared to unite to attack the rich Guanzhong.
Although the Qiang people did not believe Han Sui very much, passion finally defeated reason, and the Qiang leader summoned the warriors of the tribe, totaling 100,000 people.
Han Sui led his 10,000 troops as the commander-in-chief, falsely claimed that he had an army of 500,000, and invaded Guanzhong.
