The pottery merchant was very obedient. When he heard that Huangfu Song was so afraid of him, he straightened his face to cover up his attitude.
"If the teacher can say something like this, it means that you have already understood this matter in your mind! You must have a way to defeat Dong Zhuo, right? Please also ask the teacher to give guidance to the students."
Huangfu Song raised his bony hand, pointed at the pottery merchant's forehead, and said angrily: "You are the only one who is very clever and can guess what I am thinking... How do you know that I will have a way to deal with Dong Zhuo?
"
The pottery merchant smiled and did not dare to answer casually.
Of course you have a way to deal with Dong Zhuo. Isn't there an old saying that the reason for old age and not dying is... that's why.
Huangfusong stroked the beard on his chin and said: "You go back and see Yuan Shao. I can write a letter on his behalf and send it to Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou to tell them how powerful they are."
, let them send troops to attack Dong Zhuo's retreat, conquer Chang'an, and save the emperor... If Dong Zhuo knew that his lair was being attacked, what do you think he would do?"
The pottery merchant felt blessed after hearing this.
"What else can we do? The emperor is the lifeblood of the old thief who controls the world. If Ma Teng and Han Sui cut him off, wouldn't Dong Zhuo be imprisoned?"
Huangfu Song frowned and said dissatisfied: "What a mess... In short, the power of Ma Teng and Han Sui is not weak. Dong Zhuo has been trying to win over them and invited them to station in Chang'an. Unfortunately, the two of them
However, they have never sent their troops eastward. Obviously, they do not want to succumb to Dong Zhuo, and this time they just follow their wishes. By then, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and you, together with Ma Han, will attack in front and behind, and use their armies to cover up the enemy.
No matter how brave the Xiliang army is, they are bound to lose."
The potter touched his smooth chin, thought for a while and said: "Teacher, as far as the students know, Ma Teng and Han Sui were rebellious people like the kingdom back then, and when they supported the kingdom and took action, they also worked with the teacher.
You and Dong Zhuo have fought against each other and can be considered enemies... Is your letter really useful to them?"
Huangfu Song smiled and shook his head and said: "You kid, you are usually quite smart, but how come you are so stupid at this critical moment? When I and Dong Zhuo conquered the kingdom, against the soldiers, horses, and Han,
They are just their own masters, how can there be any deep hatred? Dong Zhuo and the two of them have fought against each other, and now they are trying their best to win over each other? Besides, the old thief is about to decline. At this moment, when the two of them have made great achievements, what can they do?
How can I respond? Besides, as an old man writing a letter, they have to give me some face."
The pottery merchant didn't quite understand Huangfu Song's last words. He thought about it for a long time and then suddenly realized it.
Huangfu Song is from Liangzhou, and his family is also a noble family in Liangzhou, and he is also a family of famous generals!
Huangfu Song's father, Huangfu Jie, was the prefect of Yanmen, his grandfather, Huangfu Qi, was the captain of Fufeng, and his great-grandfather, Huangfuleng, was the general who crossed the Liao Dynasty. His uncle, Huangfu Gui, was promoted to the post of Grand Secretary Nong after his death, and even more so when he was alive.
Together with Zhang Huan and Duan Jiao, they are collectively known as "Liangzhou Sanming", and they are powerful in Western Qiang!
Therefore, no matter in terms of reputation or family status, Huangfu Song's special status and background in Liangzhou was really a sure thing to write this letter to Ma Teng and Han Sui.
"The teacher has planned a strategy and has a way to win. The disciple is really impressed... Then let's not delay. Can you please start writing now?"
Huangfu Song was still stroking his beard and laughing, but when he heard this, his face straightened up.
"You bastard, I can write whenever I want. How come it's your turn to give me advice? I'm not your book boy!"
The pottery merchant frowned upon hearing this.
As I get older, I tend to have a bad temper, and I get impatient even if I don't finish my conversation within three sentences. The old man is really a bit unreasonable.
"Then how can you write?"
Huangfu Song straightened his back and said: "I finally showed my face like this. Why don't you have to ask Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to come in person to ask me to write before I can write? I don't understand this logic. I really don't know you."
How did you get involved in the officialdom?"
When the pottery merchant heard this, he couldn't help but feel a black line in his head.
Each of the scores is so big, and you have to ask them to give you a three-person visit to the thatched cottage for you to come up with a plan?
It’s really not that you are mean or they are mean.
Tao Shang considered the words for a while and then asked: "It's not impossible for the teacher to ask them to invite them, but the disciple can't decide how big the scene will be...Do you need the disciple to build a big earthen platform for you?"
Two people will burn incense and kowtow to you, kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and then you will ask three times and say goodbye three times, so that they can kowtow to you for a total of thirty-nine and twenty-one times. Are you taking action?"
Huangfu Song's beard was trembling with anger, and his energy level seemed to be much stronger than the sluggish mood just now.
Looking at it like this, the old man is really showing signs of extending his life now.
The old man pointed to the outside of the tent and said angrily: "Get out!"
"oh."
Upon hearing this, the pottery merchant immediately stood up and walked out of the tent.
"Wait a minute!" Huangfu Song suddenly shouted again.
The pottery merchant stopped and looked at Huangfu Song doubtfully.
The muscles on Huangfusong's face trembled slightly, as if he couldn't hold back his smile.
"You brat, let alone being my apprentice when you go out from now on... Thirty-nine equals twenty-seven? You don't even understand this arithmetic, and I don't know what Tao Gongzu taught you in the past!"
Tao Shang was stunned when he heard this, nodded and replied: "Disciple, I will remember it."
"get out!"
The potter immediately walked out of the tent.
Looking at the potter's disappearing figure, Huangfu Song's face showed a hint of comfort.
"This kid is deliberately messing around in front of me... Does he want to distract me from my thoughts and prevent me from being too obsessed with my body's illness?... Alas, he has good intentions."
…
…
After Tao Shang reported Huangfu Song's plan to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao consulted with Cao Cao. The two were very satisfied with Huangfu Song's plan.
Yuan and Cao still respected this great Han military god at that time. After listening to the potter's story, they came to the potter's camp in person and respectfully asked Huangfu Song to help him.
Seeing that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had given enough face to them, Huangfu Song didn't show any pretense. He immediately handed over the letter he had already written to them and asked them to send someone to send it to Ma Teng in Xiliang as soon as possible.
…
…
Liangzhou Jincheng.
Although Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, because his mother is a Qiang, he has some Qiang blood in his body. Therefore, in appearance, he has some big differences from pure-bred Han people.
.
He is more than eight feet long, has a big body, a majestic face and nose, his hair is messy and tied in a bun, and the rest of his hair is draped over his shoulders. When it comes to dressing up, he has some Qiang style.
And the color of his eyeballs is not completely black, but seems to have a faint green light, which is quite a bit like the alien style of the Western Regions.
His beard and hair seem to be naturally curly and slightly yellow. I don't know if he is born with this color or if Ma Teng has been living in poor conditions since he was a child and is suffering from zinc deficiency.
To put it bluntly, Ma Teng is a mixed race.
To put it more realistically, Ma Teng is actually a bunch of people.
At the moment, the Northwest Dachuan was holding the letter sent by Yuan Shao, frowning in deep thought.
The matter mentioned in Yuan Shao's letter was too relevant. Even if Ma Teng had the intention to agree to him, the complexity of the situation in Liangzhou may not be less than that in the Central Plains. Therefore, Ma Teng had to ask Han Sui's opinion before taking action.
Ma Teng and Han Sui jointly supported the kingdom's rebellion. During this period, they separated and reunited, fighting and fighting, and their relationship was good and bad.
When the relationship between two people is good, they can be in perfect harmony with each other before they dare to be with you, and it is no problem to support their wives and children.
When the relationship is bad, the two of them wish they could dig each other's hearts, lungs, eat flesh, break bones, sleep on each other's skin, and dig each other's ancestral graves of eighteen generations.
Fortunately for Yuan Shao and Huangfu Song, Ma Teng and Han Sui were in a period of peace between mountains and the world. They were currently stationed together in Jincheng.
Not long after, Han Sui arrived at Ma Teng's residence. As soon as he came in, he said carelessly: "Brother! Why are you looking for someone in such a hurry?"
Ma Teng asked Han Sui to sit down, then handed Yuan Shao's letter to Han Sui, saying: "Second brother Han, look at this! Yuan Shao sent someone to deliver the letter, but Huangfu Song came forward to persuade you and me to share the things with him.
Attack from two directions, raise troops to attack Chang'an, destroy Dong Zhuo to save the Han Dynasty... Some time ago, Dong Zhuo also sent frequent letters, inviting us two to raise troops and settle in Chang'an, partner with him, and rule the world together. Now both sides are very fond of you and me.
As a brother, it’s really hard to decide what to do for the sake of your care! I hereby invite Brother Han to come and discuss this matter.”
Although both Ma Teng and Han Sui had rebelled against the imperial court in the past, they were not exactly the same in character and essence.
Although Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo, his family is in poor financial condition and his life is quite miserable.
Ma Teng was a man of some integrity. He supported the rebellion in the kingdom because Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou at that time, trusted the traitor and severely exploited the Qiang and Di people. Ma Teng was full of righteousness and indignation.
He was angry at what Geng Bi had done, so he rebelled.
In fact, Ma Teng is a relatively stable guy.
But his old friend and foe Han Sui is completely different.
Han Sui was a pure opportunist and a rather ambitious conspirator.
In terms of character, Han Sui was extremely selfish.
This kind of wolf-like character destined Han Sui not to live under others for a long time, and he was unwilling to settle down in a corner.
"Brother, in my opinion, we may still be able to go to Chang'an!"
Han Sui planned for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts to Ma Teng: "Now that Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo are fighting, the emperor is placed in Chang'an, and his defenses are empty. We might as well agree to Yuan Shao's request and send troops to attack Dong Zhuo from front to back, but everything can't be done
Don’t do it in vain, the emperor of Chang’an must fall into our hands from now on!”
