Cold sweat broke out from Yan Xing's head, he knelt down on one knee, and said to Han Sui with a chill: "Reporting to my lord, I have been holding back this matter for a long time, but today I have to tell you the truth. Yuan Xizhi is powerful, and his men There are many talented people, but he himself is a traitor in troubled times, possessing eccentric talents, acting unreasonably, and is not an ordinary person. If the lord continues to stalemate with him with double intentions, I am afraid that the consequences may not be good, so it is better to sincerely surrender. Help him regain Guanzhong, and in the future he will also serve as an important official. This is actually the best way to protect himself. My lord, in my opinion, you still..."
"That's enough!" With a shrill roar, Yan Xing's words were suppressed by Han Sui's heavy roar.
Looking up, he saw that Han Sui's face was already blood red, his eyes were as round as bells and drums, and his teeth were clenched. Looking at that look, he seemed to wish he could swallow Yan Xing flat.
"Yan Ming, you are also our number one general in Jincheng, why do you say such depressing words? You have really let down my cultivation and expectations for you over the years! Who is Yuan Xi? The son of Yuan Shao! He is just a son! He Dad and I are of the same generation. You want me to truly belong to him and be his guest? It’s impossible for me to die! Besides, that kid plotted against me. If I don’t avenge this revenge, I will be the leader of the party in vain!” Han Sui said sharply.
"Why!.?"
Yan Xing did not expect that Han Sui's reaction would be so strong. Even if he tried to persuade him, he could not open his mouth, so he could only sigh helplessly and remain silent.
The two of them faced each other awkwardly, and after a long time, they heard Han Sui speak coldly: "Yan Ming, I think you are my best general. What you say this time, I will treat you as I didn’t hear you. If I hear you say such unambitious words again in the future, I will definitely kill you. Do you understand?”
"My lord, forgive me, I will save you."
Yuan Jun camp.
However, a Xiliang army scout rushed over, fiercely raised his hand to Yuan Xi, and said loudly: "General, I have been ordered by General Ma to express my sincerity to Yuan Gong. General Ma has ordered that all Xiliang soldiers From now on, all the troops are under the command of Duke Yuan, including General Ma, all are dispatched by Duke Yuan. I just ask Duke Yuan not to worry too much about the military orders, just send people to give orders!"
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with emotion: "Marquis Huaili is really a good minister of the world, and he is worthy of being a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"
Yuan Xi led all his troops, horses and entourage, and after Ju Yi gained a firm foothold, they entered the city overnight.
Outside the Ma family's house, Ma Teng and his son went out to greet Yuan Xi and others.
Yuan Xi brought Jia Xu, Xu Chu, Zhao Yuntai Shici and others to Ma's house.
"General Andi, Ma Teng, and his dog Ma Chao are here to meet the general! My father and son previously defied the heavenly soldiers, fought against the general, and thwarted the general's plan to restore the Han Dynasty. They are guilty of crimes that cannot be punished. Now I come here to ask for death!"
But I saw Ma Teng in front of Yuan Xi's tent, naked, with thorns on his back. He looked like he was in pain and knelt down in front of Yuan Xi, as if he wanted to die.
Regardless of whether Ma Teng's move was true or not, Yuan Xi could never really punish him here. However, when Yuan Xi stepped forward, he stood up quickly, walked quickly to Ma Teng, and helped him up with both hands.
Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "I already know everything about what happened. This matter was caused by Han Sui during his period, and it is not General Ma's fault. General Ma is actually a minister who has made great achievements, so there is nothing wrong with him."
"Now it's time to ask the horse servant to shoot!" Yuan Xi said to Ma Teng.
"General!" Ma Teng saluted.
Yuan Xi smiled and led everyone into the mansion, and Ma Teng also arranged a banquet.
"Ma Pushe, from now on we are colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty. You are much older than me and are uncles. Please give me more guidance and care in the future." Yuan Xi said politely.
But the more Yuan Xi behaved like this, the more Ma Teng felt that he had made the right decision and was with the right person. He bowed and cupped his hands, and said sternly: "General, you're welcome. I will continue to be stationed in Kansai. Then I will take care of you. I will take care of you." Quan Zi then thanks Mr. Yuan very much... Nie Zan, why don't you thank the general enough!"
Ma Chao looked unhappy, but since Ma Teng was by his side, he could only helplessly cup his hands and said, "Thank you, General."
Yuan Xi looked at Ma Chao, who looked a little depressed. He sighed secretly and asked, "Ma Mengqi, do you know where you lost?"
Ma Chao raised his head when he heard this, and the unruly spirit in his eyes subsided slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's because Ma's skills are not as good as others, and the general's calculations are clever."
Yuan Xi shook his head and explained, "It's not that your skills are inferior to others, it's just that you are inferior to others because of your eagerness to win. You must know that a general is most afraid of being greedy for victory and striving for strength. Military wars are not based on the bravery of one person."
The people in Xiliang are fierce and fierce, and there is a strong culture of practicing martial arts. Ma Chao and others have grown up in this environment since childhood. Confidence in force is a common thing.
Seeing his noncommittal expression, Yuan Xi added, "The art of war and martial arts actually have many similarities. It's better to be clumsy and quick than to be skillful over time. You put too much emphasis on tricks and bravery, and that's where you lost to General Zhao." "
Ma Chao opened his mouth and didn't answer, but nodded as if he had some understanding.
Zhao Yun smiled lightly and said, "Ma Mengqi is one of the most qualified young talents I have ever seen. If he is polished and tempered, his achievements will not be inferior to mine."
Ma Chao's expression finally relaxed after hearing this, to be recognized by a strong man like Zhao Yun. It restored his confidence a lot.
And looking at the masters next to Yuan Xi whose martial arts skills were not inferior to his own, Ma Chao sighed a little more.
After all, Xiliang is too small, and the Central Plains is full of outstanding people. There are many masters, but I underestimated the heroes in the world in the past.
Jia Xu seemed to have guessed what Ma Chao was thinking. Said: "Major General Ma, I am also from Xiliang. I used to think that Xiliang is very big. If you can achieve something in Xiliang, your life will be worthwhile. But since I entered Guanzhong, my horizons and knowledge have increased." After following the general to Qingzhou and Hebei, I realized that the world is so big and there are so many heroes. If you can follow the general, you will have a great cause, and that will be worthy of my true qualities as a man from Xiliang. Just like your ancestors Like General Fubo, his conquests are all over the north and south."
Jia Xu's ability to observe the mind is very powerful. What he said touched Ma Chao's mind, and he nodded repeatedly as if he felt the same.
Yuan Xi looked at Jia Xu persuading Ma Chao. He smiled lightly and said nothing. It would be best if he could regain Ma Chao. Otherwise, let him, Yan Xing, Yang Qiu and others restrain each other, and then send a strong official to take charge. Guanzhong would still be on his own under control. After all, the army cannot be scattered everywhere. It is still necessary to recruit soldiers and horses locally. Guanzhong Xiliang is no exception.
Use its people according to its place, and be good at it.
Yuan Xi looked at the Ma family and his son, and suddenly realized something was wrong. So he asked: "General Ma, do you know where Li Ru is?"
"He went to Acheng to report Pound's return." Matthew replied.
"When did you go?" Yuan Xi asked.
"Just when the general entered the city." Matthew said with some confusion.
"Quickly, send people to chase Li Ru back. Send more people on all sides!" Yuan Xi ordered urgently.
"Xiu'er, you personally lead the troops to Acheng and bring Li Ru back when you see him." Ma Teng ordered.
After Matthew left, Ma Teng asked the dancers at home to perform. Everyone changed glasses and the atmosphere became high.
After a while, Ma Teng asked: "What does the general plan to do with Han Sui and let him lead Guanzhong alone?"
"What do you think of Han Sui, Master Ma?" Yuan Xi looked away from the dancing girl and asked without answering.
"Wenyue, he, he is a famous scholar in Xiliang. He was kidnapped by Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. Since then, he has been leading troops back and forth between Guanxi and Liangzhou." Ma Teng hesitated, saying that he was a sworn brother in the past. Not a good review.
Yuan Xi didn't point it out and asked again: "Master Ma, do you think Han Sui is someone who will loyally submit to the imperial court?"
"Well, Han Sui's ambitions have grown in recent years, and he has been disrespectful to His Majesty and the court." Ma Teng said vaguely.
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Since Lord Ma says he is disrespectful to the imperial court and rebellious, then I have nothing to worry about."
"Report! Yang Hong brought people who claimed to be subordinates of the general to ask for an audience." The messenger reported.
"Let them in!" Yuan Xi ordered.
Under the surprised gazes of Ma Teng and others, Yang Hong led three Han Sui generals, Yan Xing, Yang Qiu and Hou Xuan, into the hall. Each of them held a box in their hands.
"The last general, Yan Xing, came to pay homage to the general. I specially offer the heads of the traitor Han Sui and his son." Yan Xing knelt down and said.
The candidate Yang Qiu also knelt down and worshiped together. At the same time, he opened the box in his hand and showed the head inside to Yuan Xi.
Ma Teng and others were all frightened. Yuan Xi acted so resolutely that he only accepted the surrender of the Ma family and immediately asked Han Sui's troops to behead him and send him to him.
"You have made great achievements, but you must deal with Han Sui's old troops well and not let them rebel." Yuan Xi ordered.
"Here!" Yan Xing, Hou Xuan, and Yang Qiu said in command.
Yuan Xi ignored the shocked expressions of Ma Teng and others and asked about the affairs of Xiliang and the movements of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
"There are various small forces in Xiliang, but they are all ineffective. As long as you plan properly, divide them up first, and then lead a large army to attack Xiliang, you can conquer Xiliang." Ma Teng replied.
Yuan Xi and Jia Xu carefully wrote down some details of what Ma Teng said. And plan how to use troops in the future.
Ma Teng continued: "Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, he went to the imperial court to confer a title, established himself as a master, and gathered hundreds of thousands of ignorant villagers. Those ignorant people have become obedient to his orders. If it is allowed to develop, I am afraid that It is to become the second Zhang Jiao."
Yuan Xi just listened without answering. What Ma Teng said was highly subjective. In fact, Zhang Lu and Zhang Jiao were different in nature.
When it comes to the Five Dou Rice Cult and Zhang Lu, the problem seems complicated, but in fact it is not difficult to solve.
There is no real religious belief in China at all. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism mixedly influenced Chinese culture, as well as Chang Lun thought.
Even the Northern and Southern Dynasties, where Buddhism and Taoism were prevalent in history, did not have the same religious climate as other countries. What's more, at this time, Buddhism and Taoism were just in a period of development and had strong plasticity. If used well, it can serve those in power well.
Yuan Xi comforted Ma Teng and his son for a while, asked Ju Yi to garrison Chang'an, and then returned to the camp.
"General, our brothers from Beiying have captured someone who looks like a spy. It may be Li Ru." Yan Liang appeared in Yuan Xi's tent.
Soon, several soldiers brought a middle-aged man dressed as a villager and farmer.
Yuan Xi had not met Li Ru in Luoyang that year. So he asked, "But the traitor Li Ru?"
"It's Li Ru." The middle-aged man replied, "Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of the general. Although Ma Teng didn't listen to my plan, Li Ru was convinced that he had lost."
Yuan Xi asked Yan Liang and others to retreat, leaving only Xu Chu and several guards, as well as Guo Jia, who Jia Xu had returned from Han Sui's camp.
"What's your plan?" Yuan Xi asked.
"We were all defeated by the general, so let's not talk about it." Li Ru shook his head, "The general is the one with extraordinary courage. He defeated Cao Cao at the front, and then immediately rushed from Wuguan to Chang'an. It was unexpected!"
"It's not that we are very clever. It's just that Han Sui was so fierce that I just took advantage of him." Yuan Xi said with a smile.
"You assassinated Master Dong back then. It shocked me so much. I have been paying attention to your news over the years. From taking control of Qingzhou to the war in the Central Plains, you all acted superbly. When Master Dong kicked off the melee between the Han Dynasty, I must have You are the one who can clean up the mess and become the next generation overlord." Li Ru said with emotion.
"Even if you say nice things about me, I can't forgive you for your sins." Yuan Xi said.
Li Ru smiled, bowed three times to Yuan Xi, then turned his back to Yuan Xi and others, and said, "Please, General, grant me death."
"Why are you thanking me?" Yuan Xi asked.
Li Ru's voice was a little choked, and he continued, "Although the general killed my father-in-law Dong Taishi, Lu Bu killed my family back then, and the general killed Lu Bu, which can be regarded as avenging me. Li Ru has a clear sense of grudges. Of course I want to thank you." .”
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Yuan Xi suddenly asked.
"If you are not afraid of death, you will not escape, but as a general, Li Ru knows that there is no chance of survival." Li Ru said.
"Take him down!" Yuan Xi waved to Xu Chu.
But from then on, Emperor Taizong Xuanwu Yuan Xi had an organization to check and balance the shadow guards, called Jinyiwei. I heard that the leader was called Li Nie, but he was a bit similar to Li Ru and wore a mask.
After Xu Chu escorted Li Ru out, Yuan Xi asked everyone: "How should we clean up the mess in Guanzhong next?"
"The various forces in Guanzhong are so complicated that unless the army moves in, it will be difficult to completely control them at the moment. The best way now is to divide and conquer." Jia Xu said.
"How to cure the disease?" Yuan Xi asked. He knew that Jia Xu was from Xiliang and had unique views on matters in Xiliang and Guanzhong.
"The soldiers and horses of Han Sui and Ma Teng can be arranged in an intricate manner, so that they can be stationed next to each other. In this way, the two soldiers and horses can restrain each other, and they can still take orders from the lord. Again, Ju Yi is left to lead a group of soldiers and horses to monitor Guanzhong. As the coordinator of Han Sui and Ma Teng's old army, Chen Gong can be conquered and send a Jizhou official to lead an army to the east of Tongguan, so that the Luoyang area will be under the control of the lord." Jia Xu suggested.
"Very good. In the final analysis, we should divide them up and conquer them one by one." Yuan Xi nodded in agreement.
"You can let Yang Qiu and Ma Chao lead their troops to attack Zuo Fengyi, and capture or destroy Han Sui's general Cheng Yin and others." Guo Jia suggested.
"Mr. Wenhe, the situation in Guanzhong is very complicated. As you said, we need to leave a force to garrison, and it requires someone who is familiar with local affairs to sort it out." Yuan Xi said.
Jia Xu immediately understood what Yuan Xi meant and replied: "Jia is willing to stay and take charge of Guanzhong affairs, hoping to completely subdue all the forces in Guanzhong and Xiliang within two years."
Although Yuan Xi was reluctant to let Jia Xu leave, Guanzhong needed someone with such a high IQ to figure it out.
"After two months of rest, Ju Yi will take the lead and lead Ma Chao, Yan Xing and other troops to Guanxi. At the same time, I will ask Your Majesty to recruit Zhang Lu. After I lead the army back to Jizhou, I will also send some soldiers, horses and officials. Yuan Xi said.
"The Liang Xi whom I recommended to my lord last time is good, you can send him here." Jia Xu suggested.
Yuan Xi thought for a while, if Lu Qian and Liang Xi's old Cao Cao troops could be used for his own use, they would really be officials. He could only do more to win over them after returning to Yecheng.
