Facing the box that Yang Qiu pushed over again, Yuan Ping shook his head again.
"General, please don't embarrass me. I'll give you a piece of advice before I leave. It's best not to engage in these evil ways under our lord's command. If you have the ability, use them. The lord will naturally not treat you badly. If you don't have the ability to rely on these, how can it be difficult?
ah,
Those who are capable are promoted and those who are mediocre are demoted. This is the biggest principle in Jizhou's army."
After saying that, Yuan Ping threw up his sleeves and left, boarded the carriage waiting outside the door and ran towards Jincheng.
"Debao, what's going on?"
Until Yuan Ping left, Yang Qiu was still a little confused. What was going on?
"General, maybe as Yuan Ping said, the Jizhou Army may be really different from other places. The capable ones go up and the mediocre ones go down.
If they can really do this, then it is self-evident that they can be invincible and invincible.
But these are two different things. No one knows about the box of gold, so I don’t understand why Yuan Ping refused."
Not only Yang Qiu was confused, but Zhang Liang was also confused. What the hell is this.
"Forget it, ignore him, as long as we have the ability, no one can neglect us, so this battle must be fought beautifully, so that Yuan Shu can see our strength, prepare the army, and send troops to Jincheng within three days. At the same time
Send an envoy with my handwritten message to Cheng Yin and Li Kan, inviting them to surrender to Yuan Shu."
Since you can't figure it out, there's no need to think about it. As long as your talents are seen by Yuan Shu, that's enough.
"promise."
Suddenly, a secret battle began in Liangzhou. Since Cheng Yin and Li Kan were between Yuan Shu and Ma Teng, the envoys from the two sides were nowhere to be found.
Faced with the recruitment from both families, the two of them were also extremely entangled. At this moment, Yang Qiu's envoy arrived.
After the two received the news that Yang Qiu had surrendered to Yuan Shu, they did not hesitate and directly chose to surrender to Yuan Shu. At the same time, in order to show their intentions, they also chose to kill Ma Teng's envoy, and then led their troops to Jincheng to fight Yuan Shu.
Candidate and Liang Xing, whom Ma Wan and Zhang Heng personally persuaded, also chose to join Ma Teng and prepare to join forces with him to fight against Yuan Shu.
"My lord, now Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin and Li Kan have decided to join us and have led their troops to come to Jincheng for the round, but it is difficult for other forces to win over them. After all, Ma Wan and Ma Teng have the same surname, and Zhang Heng
If they have a good relationship with Ma Wan and choose Ma Teng, and then help Ma Teng convince Cheng Yi and the candidate, they will definitely work together with Ma Teng."
News came from all directions, and Xun You also began his final analysis.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Now that what should be clear has become clear, it depends on what Xun You is going to do next.
"Then it depends on whether the master wants Ma Teng or the whole of Liangzhou."
Xun You thought for a moment and asked Yuan Shu a question.
"How to say?"
Hearing Xun You's words, Yuan Shu was slightly startled.
"If you want to capture Ma Teng, then the Dang bandits can go directly to attack Ma Wan and others. Each of their forces only has more than 10,000 troops at most. It will be difficult to resist the attack of General Zhang Liao.
If we defeat them one by one in this way, Ma Teng will have very few soldiers and horses, so our casualties will be very few during the battle, and it will be easy to capture Ma Teng, but..."
Xun You glanced at Yuan Shu, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"I'm afraid there will be other reactions if I do this."
Hearing what Xun You said, Yuan Shu knew that there was definitely something going on.
"Well, the consequences of this are very likely to kill the snake. If Ma Teng escapes, there will be endless troubles. At the same time, this situation will make the Qiang tribe entrenched in Liangzhou feel a sense of crisis. I am afraid they will raise troops to fight against us.
Isn't a unified Liangzhou, especially one under Han rule, what the Qiang people want to see? When the time comes, they will definitely do their best to support Ma Teng and continue fighting with us, so that we seem to win the first battle.
Although Ma Teng was killed, it was somewhat disadvantageous for Liangzhou as a whole."
Although Xun You didn't explain it, Yuan Shu already understood the meaning. Now if he divides his troops to attack other forces, even if he captures Ma Teng, he will probably have to go through a hard battle. You must know that the Qiang people are stronger than Ma Teng.
There are too many. If you have to face such an enemy, I'm afraid the losses will be even greater. If you want to capture Liangzhou, there will be many twists and turns.
"What do you mean?"
Yuan Shu thought for a moment and still wanted to hear what Xun You thought.
"My lord, what I want is to let Ma Teng fight with other forces. There will definitely be Qiang people involved, and then send Zhang Liao's extraordinary troops to directly attack the nests of those Qiang tribes during the battle.
In this way, those Qiang people will definitely return to rescue them, and everyone in Ma Teng's coalition will be in danger.
They will also be afraid that their home base will be threatened by us. When the time comes, Ma Teng's coalition forces may be defeated without attack.
In this case, we can not only take down the Qiang forces who support Ma Teng, but also disintegrate Ma Teng's coalition forces. Isn't it better than sending troops to sneak attack others now?
After this battle is over, the Qiang and Hu who are close to Ma Teng will be greatly weakened. If they want to resist us, it is just a mirror. The other Qiang and Hu will not dare to reveal the miserable situation of these people even if they see it.
In this way, we can win over Liangzhou with a wave of traction, a wave in the middle, and a wave of attacks. After a combination, it will be much easier to win Liangzhou."
Xun You glanced at Yuan Shu, the light in his eyes shining brightly.
"Gongda was indeed a big plan at the time. This would not only dismantle the forces hostile to us step by step, but also deter other neutral Qiang forces. After taking Ma Teng in this way, Xiliang would not be able to escape our grasp.
.”
If the current situation in Liangzhou is a chess game, Ma Teng is one of the chess pieces being pushed, while Yuan Shu and Xun You are the ones holding the pieces. The gap is self-evident.
Unless Ma Teng can improve his situation and reach the same height as Yuan Shu, his failure is already doomed.
There may be two people of this level in the Liangzhou Army. One is Jia Xu who became an official in Chang'an, and the other is Li Ru who escaped from Chang'an. However, Jia Xu's self-preservation is definitely not the first priority.
Maybe he came out to help Ma Teng,
Could Li Ru step forward to help Ma Teng?
The answer is absolutely no. How could Li Ru help Ma Teng? Although they are both from Liangzhou, the hatred between them is not irreconcilable, but it cannot be easily resolved.
"Well, that's exactly it."
Xun You nodded slightly at Yuan Shu. His lord was really smart and he immediately understood everything he wanted to say next.
"Then there's nothing more to say. Let's do as you say."
Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to hesitate, just do it.
"promise."
After receiving Yuan Shu's approval, Xun You nodded and walked directly out. He was going to make the next deployment. After this battle, Liangzhou was probably pacified.
After Xun You left, Yuan Shu was bored in the house, so he left the house and went to the small courtyard.
"Dianwei, let's go for a walk on the outskirts of the city."
