Chapter 354: The glorious inheritance of the Ma family
Weaknesses? Or three?
Zhong Yao's brows were filled with question marks, and he asked with great interest, "Master, can you tell me in detail?"
"Of course..." Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, then narrowed his eyes and told the story in detail. "Ma Teng's father is Ma Ping, a native of Maoling, Fufeng. He once served as Tianshui Lanqianwei and later lost his official position.
He lived in Longxi, Liangzhou, and lived with the Qiang people in Liangzhou. Because his family was poor and could not find a wife, he married a Qiang woman and gave birth to his son Ma Teng!"
Yi Xiaotian first told Ma Teng's father's generation in detail...
Zhong Yao murmured in his heart, he also knew this. Just because he lived among the Qiang people all year round and did not have close contact with the Han Dynasty, the four words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" did not penetrate into his bones. In order to incite him to rebel, it was not
Is it just a dream?
Just when he thought of this, Yi Xiaotian's voice continued.
"It seems that if we look at this relationship alone, Ma Teng will not surrender to the imperial court or the Han Dynasty, let alone surrender to Cao Cao... He should be used to being a local warlord and dreaming of dominating one side... But..."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian suddenly stood up and waved his hand gently.
"Few people know that the Ma family is full of loyal people. Their ancestor is Fubo General Ma Yuan, who was the official who revitalized the Han Dynasty after Wang Mang usurped power. Above their heads are the four glorious figures.
One word - 'Loyalty to the Emperor and Patriotism'! With this relationship, Ma Teng would not rebel unless he had to, let alone ruin the loyalty of the ancestors of the Ma family."
Hmm... General Fubo Ma Yuan? Ma Teng is actually a descendant of Ma Yuan?
Zhong Yao was slightly surprised. This news, this information... was the first time he knew about it.
Huh... Zhong Yao breathed softly and raised his brows. Although there was still disbelief in his eyes, if what this young man said was true, then... he might not have no chance of rebelling against Ma Teng.
ah!
After all, General Fubo Ma Yuan's reputation as "loyal to the emperor and patriotic" was so resounding that unless it was absolutely necessary, how could his descendants be willing to betray the imperial court and become known as traitors?
Faintly, Zhong Yao felt that there was something to be said for plotting against Ma Teng!
etc.
Zhong Yao suddenly thought of something again.
...If it is just because of this relationship, although it can be regarded as an opportunity, it seems that the weight of this opportunity is not enough... It is not enough to make Ma Teng change his camp and point his gun directly at the Yuan family...
Are there other connections?
Zhong Yao can be considered a smart man, and he keenly captured something from Yi Xiaotian's confident eyes.
He raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Young man, I'm afraid you have more to say than just this!"
"Of course, this is just one of them."
Throwing out a sentence first, Yi Xiaotian counted Tian'er with his fingers, thought about it for ten breaths, and then spoke.
"In just these ten days and a half, Ye City will definitely fall. By then, all the promises made by the Yuan family to Ma Teng will be in vain... Of course, Ma Teng cannot wait that long to instigate rebellion, but... the people in Ye City will
Ma Teng must be aware of the situation... Brothers are fighting each other and fighting each other. The Yuan family can't even tolerate their own brothers, so how can they accommodate Ma Teng? Wait until the information about the Yuan brothers fighting each other comes in.
Guanzhong, Ma Teng should be shaken."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, shook his head, and continued.
"The reason why the Yuan clan was able to win over Ma Teng was because they gave him a piece of cake, which made Ma Teng feel as stable as a dog holding the Yuan clan's thighs. But Cao Cao can also give these cakes, not only to him, but also to Ma Teng.
You can also give it in the name of the imperial court, and do it in a fair and just way."
"Isn't Ma Teng short of food and grass? Our Chang'an governor Zhong Yao can't give it, but Zhong Yao can cooperate with Ma Teng to conquer those rebellious Xiliang warlords. If you can't give food and grass, you can try another way, you can rob it, and at the same time pacify these Guanxi warlords
Warlords, while grabbing food and territory... In this way, wouldn't Ma Teng and Cao Cao have a cooperative relationship? Ma Teng helped Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shang, and Cao Cao helped Ma Teng pacify Guanxi."
"Both will benefit from cooperation, and two will suffer from separation. Ma Teng must understand this clearly! Besides, what Ma Teng dreams about is to hug a thigh tightly and help him pacify Kansai. Now
, Cao Cao has this thigh, and it is a very thick thigh, I am afraid Ma Teng should be happy!"
Yi Xiaotian talks eloquently...
Analyze in detail from Ma Teng's little thoughts, Cao Cao's advantages, and the Yuan family's shortcomings.
He is best at this, exploiting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, infinitely amplifying Cao Cao's advantages and the Yuan family's weaknesses, so that nothing can go wrong.
hiss…
Looking back at Zhong Yao, the more he listened, the more fascinated he became. The more he listened, the more he admired Yi Xiaotian in his heart.
Darling... This young man analyzes the situation with great clarity. The key is that every word and every point of view has countless supporting evidence, making it convincing.
Looking at Yi Xiaotian again, Zhong Yao couldn't help but glance a few times higher...
Awesome, really awesome...
Now he feels that...the idea of plotting against Ma Teng is not only reliable, but feasible and feasible...
I never thought that Yi Xiaotian hadn’t finished speaking yet.
"Besides, I burned two thousand Xiliang cavalry to ashes in a fire before. This was enough to intimidate his Ma Teng, not only his Ma Teng, but also enough to intimidate every Xiliang warlord; however, I changed hands
He also released Ma Teng's son Ma Tie and Ma Teng's daughter Ma Yunlu. This is grace! With both grace and power, Ma Teng will not surrender even if he wants to! What he lacks now is a surrender.
It’s just an opportunity!”
Finally, Yi Xiaotian finished speaking.
On Zhong Yao's side, he fell into deep thought.
Zhong Yao asked back. "Young man... everything you said is very reasonable, but one of them is that although Governor Zhong Yao can use Ma Teng to fight against the Yuan family, but... after everything is done, will he really want to help Ma Teng pacify Guanxi?"
Well? If Ma Teng really defeats all the princes in Guanxi one by one, then... isn't it just driving the tiger out the front door and letting the wolves in the back door? If he rebels again, it will probably be more terrifying than the rebellion of the Yuan family! "
Zhong Yao's words brought up the point...
Yi Xiaotian's eyes rolled, he thought about it carefully, and then waved his hand.
"What the Taoist said is half right. It is true that if Zhong Yao and Ma Teng join forces, plus the help of Ma Teng's sworn brother Han Sui, and the bravery of his eldest son Ma Chao, it will not be a problem to pacify Guanxi... But it is so big
After handing over a piece of cake to them, couldn't Governor Zhong Yao put forward some conditions? For example... Quan could just ask Ma Teng to go to Xu Capital City and serve as an official in the imperial court. In this way, with the hostages in hand, the Xiliang Ma clan would be
Once you become big, you don’t dare to act rashly! On the contrary, you can help Cao Cao guard the west gate!"
this…
Hearing this, Zhong Yao patted his forehead!
He immediately felt that the young man in front of him simply said one sentence - "How bold a person is, how productive the land is"...
By...by...by...why? How could he be sure that Ma Teng would go to Xudu honestly?
I'm not stupid... I went to Xudu to be an official in name, but in reality, wasn't it just to be a hostage?
When he thought of this, Zhong Yao shook his head.
"Young man, will Ma Teng agree to be an official in the imperial court? Haha, I don't believe it... He is a prince of Guanxi after all. How could he leave his base and his troops and go to the imperial court instead? This is simply not possible.
It’s against common sense!”
Haha...it's not common sense!
Upon hearing this question, Yi Xiaotian said "hehe".
In fact, when he once studied this period of history, he was also very skeptical. He even suspected that Ma Teng had lost his brain before he gave up the land of Guanzhong and became an official in the imperial court. Isn't this... lighting a lantern in the toilet - looking for death!
But...
This thing really happened. Not only did it happen, Ma Teng was an official in Xudu City, and he did it for several years! If he hadn't participated in the rebellion of the Fu family to support the royal family, he would not have been able to survive, and he would have been able to do it again.
Decades!
As for the various reasons in between...
Before traveling through time, Yi Xiaotian actually went through the relevant records, historical books, and documents...
Come to the conclusion...there is only one——
——This is really not because Ma Teng has a brain injury, or his brain was kicked by a donkey...
The core point is that deep down in his heart, Ma Teng has always wanted to be an official in the imperial court. He wants to have close contact with the emperor, and he wants to regain the glory that his ancestor, General Fubo Ma Yuan, brought to the Ma family.
Although it is a bit strange, it seems to be reasonable!
In the world, there really are people like this who are not interested in profit or power, but only want fame...just the reputation that the glory of the Ma family can be passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, this is what happened...
How do you explain this to this smart guy?
Yi Xiaotian scratched his head, it was time for the fun-loving trick again.
