After explaining it for so long and analyzing so much to Liu Zhang, why didn’t he understand it?
Ma Teng was angry and anxious, and his anger kept swirling in his heart.
Liu Zhang's friendliness seemed to make Ma Teng forget his identity as a prisoner.
"hehe..."
Fortunately, Liu Zhang didn't care about this and instead chuckled a few times to ease the embarrassment.
It was this relaxed laughter that instantly brought Ma Teng back to reality.
"Um... General Wei... I'm sorry... I'm..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Liu Zhang waved his hand very generously and didn't care about Ma Teng's rudeness.
"Brother Shoucheng, what does the destruction of Xiao Pass mean? The entire Guanzhong Plain will be flat for Mobei! If the Xianbei cavalry crosses Xiao Pass and invades, how can they resist it?"
Hearing Liu Zhang's question, Ma Teng became impatient again.
"General Wei, why don't you understand? First of all, the Xianbei people are not fools. They will not come without benefits! Secondly, there is no benefit. No matter Fu Luohan, Bu Dugen or Ke Bineng, they can't mobilize the Xianbei army! "
"Isn't the land of Guanzhong tempting enough?"
Facing Liu Zhang's rhetorical question, Ma Teng suddenly smiled contemptuously.
"Guanzhong? Has General Wei forgotten that Guanzhong is no longer the land of Longxing! Today's Guanzhong is in a dilapidated state. If the Xianbei people come to Guanzhong to plunder, I'm afraid it won't be enough for them to send troops!"
Regarding the decline of Guanzhong, Ma Teng is not exaggerating.
Although Li Jue and Guo Si were destroyed, the land of Guanzhong did not improve because of their defeat.
After years of destruction, Guanzhong seems to be rotten to the roots!
"Brother Shoucheng, if Guanzhong is broken again, how will it compare to the secluded border? How will it compare to the desert?"
Ma Teng was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Liu Zhang meant.
Guanzhong is a plain with cities and rivers. There is nothing in the desert but endless grasslands!
How are the two comparable?
"General Wei, no matter how good Guanzhong is, do the Xianbei people still dare to stay for a long time?"
Liu Zhang nodded. Ma Teng's thinking was a typical preconception.
From the moment he thought about this matter, he determined that the Xianbei people only had the intention of plundering at best.
Traveling thousands of miles to plunder Guanzhong?
Not to mention that the Xianbei people don't know how to do this kind of loss-making business, I'm afraid even the Qiang people who are closest to Guanzhong are too lazy to do it!
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, what treasures can you dig out?
In Ma Teng's mind, there was no precedent for foreigners to occupy counties in the Han Dynasty.
Whether it is the defeated Xiongnu or the current Xianbei, they all aim at plundering and will not stay in one place for a long time.
Just like You merged the border, even if the imperial court did not send a large army, the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other foreign tribes would not stay long.
But Liu Zhang didn't think so. He was familiar with the history of Wuhu and China.
It’s not that the foreign races don’t dare to occupy the Central Plains, they just lack an opportunity!
When this opportunity comes, they will not hesitate or show mercy!
"Brother Shoucheng, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao fought in Guandu, and Han Sui and I fought in Liangzhou. What if Han Sui gave the land in Guanzhong to the Xianbei people in exchange for the Xianbei people's help?"
"this..."
Ma Teng no longer had the calmness he had before, and there was even a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Han Sui really dares to risk the disapproval of the world?"
After Ma Teng blurted out this question, he couldn't help but feel scared.
Han Sui may be really brave!
"General Wei, it is impossible for Han Sui to give Liangzhou to them by borrowing the power of the Xianbei people, not to mention that the Qiang people will not allow it!"
"If that's the case, is Guanzhong enough to qualify as a Xianbei person?"
If the Xianbei people really led their troops, then at least the central Xianbei and western Xianbei would be dispatched at the same time.
Fu Luohan, Bu Dugen, and Ke Bineng are all ambitious people. Can one Guanzhong accommodate three beasts?
“What about the Hetao Plain?”
"What!"
Ma Teng exclaimed, this news was like a bolt from the blue to him.
The Hetao Plain is now occupied by the Southern Huns. The hatred between the Huns and the Xianbei people is not the slightest!
In the past, the Han Dynasty avoided disaster and the Xianbei people restrained themselves. Now that the imperial court has declined and is unable to intervene in the Hetao, the Xianbei people can naturally expel the Xiongnu by force!
"Han Sui, this bitch, dares to give away great rivers and mountains to foreigners for his own selfishness! Isn't he afraid of thunder from the sky?"
Ma Teng was furious. He had accepted Liu Zhang's guess, and at the same time he felt guilty in his heart.
No wonder Liu Zhang said before that his ancestor Ma Yuan defeated the Longqiang in the west, conquered Jiaozhi in the south, and attacked Wuhuan in the north, making great military achievements for the revival of the Han Dynasty. It turned out that he was referring to the Xiaoguan incident.
"General Wei, how do you plan to deal with the Xianbei people?"
Ma Teng is very scared now. He is afraid that Liu Zhang will flip his sleeves and do something that has nothing to do with him!
Liu Zhang didn't need to do anything. He only had to lead his army back to Yizhou immediately and sit on the sidelines, allowing Han Sui to set himself on fire.
"Brother Shoucheng, do you think that if I withdraw to Hanzhong, will there be a duel between 200,000 Xianbei cavalry and 300,000 Qiang people?"
"Which one do you think is stronger and which one is weaker?"
Ma Teng couldn't help but trembled. If the confrontation between the two parties was wrong, he was afraid that the two would join forces to poison the land of Guanzhong and the two states of Yongliang!
Compared with the ferocity of the aliens, what are Li Jue and Guo Si?
This 500,000 foreign army may completely wipe out Guanzhong!
"General Wei...!"
"alright!"
Liu Zhang stretched out his hand and interrupted Ma Teng's urgent call.
Ma Teng's reaction made Liu Zhang feel reassured. At least Ma Teng still had the integrity of the Han people and a trace of the blood of General Fubo Ma Yuan.
"Now you know why I need your help, right?"
Ma Teng nodded awkwardly, feeling even more ashamed!
Liu Zhang was about to face half a million enemy troops, and his first thought was to fight rather than escape!
No matter what Liu Zhang's starting point is, he deserves Ma Teng's respect!
"General Wei, I am willing to help General Wei and persuade the captured Liangzhou Jingqi to work with General Wei to resist these Xianbei dogs! Let them know that there is a price to pay for setting foot in Guanzhong!"
Liu Zhang's eyes flashed with admiration, and Ma Teng at this moment had a hint of General Fubo.
"Brother Shoucheng, are you willing to serve under me?"
Ma Teng smiled softly and did not answer Liu Zhang directly.
"If General Wei can repel these half a million troops, let's talk about this...it won't be too late!"
Liu Zhang wanted to escape only when the two armies did not gather.
When 500,000 troops arrive at the city, it will be difficult to return to Yizhou unscathed!
Once you choose to fight, there is only success or destruction!
Even if Liu Zhang was not destroyed, it would be difficult to bring back these armies from the Northern Expedition.
Therefore, Ma Teng feels that it does not matter whether he joins Liu Zhang's army or not at this moment.
Everything has to wait until the winner of the war is decided!
