The west of Yizhou is to the west of Qishan Mountain and to the north of Qingcheng Mountain.
Except for Mianzhu, Fucheng and other cities close to Qishan Mountain, further to the west were all barren lands, mostly inhabited by uncivilized barbarians, but these barren lands bordered on Han Sui's power.
Compared with Han Sui, Hanzhong County is a strategic location connecting Guanzhong and Yizhou.
No matter who controls Hanzhong County, they will have the opportunity to go south to attack Chengdu, or go north to attack Guanzhong. Therefore, Hanzhong County can be said to be a trump card. Ma Teng is only a small warlord in Xiliang, so there is no chance.
Occupied Hanzhong.
Of course, Han Sui would not take the initiative to say these words.
Although he and Ma Teng are brothers, they belong to different forces, and there are frictions and struggles. Both of their forces are in Xiliang, and they have fought with each other. Even if they become brothers, their forces
They are close together, and although they are friendly on the surface, there are still small moves secretly.
Han Sui pretended to be deep in thought and said hesitantly: "Brother, Wang Can didn't show any signs of fatigue. We..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ma Teng interrupted Han Sui.
Ma Teng said loudly: "Wen Yue, I invited you here just to attack Wang Can. Just show your stance and directly say whether you are willing to send troops. Now that all the princes in the world are sending troops to attack Wang Can, this is a great opportunity for us to increase our strength!
"
Han Sui gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll go all out and do it!"
When Ma Teng heard this, he immediately laughed: "Okay, this is so refreshing. How can our Xiliang mother-in-law and mother-in-law make it happen?"
After finishing speaking, Ma Teng waved his sleeves and shouted: "Serve the wine and food!" After giving the order, attendants came in immediately outside the hall carrying the prepared wine and food, and placed them on the desk in front of everyone.
Naturally, Ma Teng had already prepared the food and wine. As long as Han Sui agreed, Ma Teng and Han Sui would celebrate.
Naturally, Han Sui would not refuse and drank with Ma Teng to celebrate.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, and when both parties were almost drunk, Han Sui stood up and left.
Ma Teng's eyes were a little blurry and he was drunk.
However, Ma Teng still insisted on sending Han Sui out of the house. After watching Han Sui leave, Ma Teng returned to the hall and regained consciousness without being drunk at all. Ma Teng asked the attendants to remove the wine and food, and then said: "As the saying goes, Koreans are cunning.
, If this is the case, if I had not used the territory to the west of Yizhou as bait, Han Wenyue would never have let go."
Ma Chao cupped his fists and said, "Dad, if Han Sui takes the west of Yizhou and merges Longxi and the west of Yizhou into one place, thus greatly increasing his strength, we will be squeezed out of Xiliang."
Ma Dai nodded and said: "Uncle, Han Sui is an old fox and very cunning. If we cooperate with him, we can be said to be seeking skin from a tiger. Why not send troops alone?"
Ma Teng said: "To attack Wang Can, we don't just talk about it. Someone must charge into the battle. We were jointly attacked by Wang Can and Cao Cao, and our strength was greatly damaged. If there is no one in front, it will be difficult to gain an advantage. Therefore, I invited
Han Sui sent troops, and with Han Sui's support, our army will be confident."
Ma Tie said: "Dad, even so, once Han Sui's strength increases greatly, what will we do?"
Ma Tie's worry was similar to what Ma Chao said. Once Han Sui's strength greatly increased and he occupied Xiliang, they would not even have a foothold, and it would be meaningless to unite with Han Sui.
Ma Teng said with a smile: "You should relax, even if Han Sui occupied the west of Yizhou, it would be impossible to attack Hanzhong. But after we occupy Hanzhong, when our strength increases, we can go south to attack Chengdu, and then send troops northward.
Drive Han Sui out of Yizhou. In this way, we can occupy Yizhou and dominate the area."
The little emperor was poisoned to death, and Ma Teng's ambition grew in his heart. Although Ma Teng did not have the clear goal of becoming emperor like Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, he wanted to dominate one side and protect himself.
Ma Chao's eyes lit up, he cupped his fists and said, "My father is so smart, I admire him!"
Ma Tie and Ma Dai also clasped their fists in praise one after another, with excited expressions on their faces.
Ma Teng glanced at the three juniors with an excited look on his face. Although he had not received Cao Cao's invitation, he would definitely be accepted as long as he sent troops to attack Wang Can.
If he participates in it, there is a great possibility of taking Hanzhong.
Ma Teng felt happy, dismissed the three juniors, turned around and walked to the backyard.
…
Han Sui left the governor's house, and took a carriage with Yan Xing to Longxi. On the carriage, Yan Xing looked serious, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, when Ma Teng led his troops into Chang'an in the past, he did not think of inviting my lord.
Send troops to attack Wang Can, but Ma Teng invites the lord to send troops. I'm afraid you have some ulterior motive. Are you a little hasty in agreeing to Ma Teng directly?"
Although Yan Xing was Han Sui's general, he was also a counselor.
He remained silent in the hall, but now he had to raise his doubts.
Han Sui smiled and said: "Yan Ming (characterized by Yan Xing), I know what Ma Teng is thinking. That guy is strong and strong, and he looks like a big guy, but he is cunning at heart. Otherwise, how could he have such a big influence?"
?Actually, the reason why Ma Teng invited me to send troops is because Ma Teng lacks troops and was beaten by Cao Cao and Wang Can so that he cannot become an independent force. He wants to make profits from it, so he asked me to send troops. I hope
I act as a vanguard and open the way for him."
When Yan Xing heard this, he immediately asked: "My lord, since you know Ma Teng's thoughts, why do you agree to it?"
Han Sui narrowed his eyes and had an intriguing smile on his face.
His voice was deep and he said categorically: "If you want to develop your strength and strengthen yourself, it is impossible to achieve great things without the courage to take risks. Youdao is to seek wealth and honor in danger. Although Ma Teng invited me to send troops for another purpose, I
But it can turn the situation around and turn it into my favor."
Yan Xing asked again: "My lord, I have one more question. The west of Yizhou is all barren land, but Hanzhong is a fertile and open land with thousands of miles of fertile land and is surrounded by mountains and forests. It is an excellent strategic location. Why, lord?"
Instead of Hanzhong, why are you willing to choose the barren land west of Yizhou?"
Han Sui asked back: "Yan Ming, if a piece of meat is still on the ground, do you think there might be only one dog to snatch it?"
Yan Xing's eyes lit up and he understood immediately.
He clasped his fists and said, "My lord is so wise that I will always admire you."
After a pause, Yan Xing continued: "Ma Teng looks smart, but he is actually a little smart. He wants to win Hanzhong, but Hanzhong is a piece of fat. Not only Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and even Yuan Shu are very greedy. The strength of these princes
If you are powerful, you will definitely not sit back and watch Ma Teng take Hanzhong, so it is the safest for your lord to choose the barren land to the west of Yizhou."
Han Sui nodded, with a smile on his face again.
In the carriage, neither of the two people spoke, and it became quiet.
The wheels turned and the carriage moved quickly.
Next to the carriage, the soldiers protecting Han Sui and Yan Xing were running quickly, and the sound of footsteps kept sounding. After a carriage drove out of Fu Feng City, it quickly disappeared on the horizon.
