Chapter 453 and State Mateng
"Cao Gong's plan is really good, but I still have something unclear. Yuan Shao's soldiers in Jizhou are full of food. Why didn't Cao Gong find Yuan Shao to send troops this time? You should know that if Yuan Shao sent troops, our province would be bigger. After Wei Zhongdao hesitated a little, he said.
"It's not that we don't think that Yuan Shao in Jizhou can also deal with Lv Bu with us. But now that Yuan Shao is fighting with Gongsun Zan, I'm afraid that he can't draw troops. Moreover, it's enough to deal with Lv Bu with us. If even we can't deal with Lv Bu, I'm afraid that no one in the world can deal with Lv. It's clothed." When Cheng Yu said this, he looked confident and confident. It seemed that everything was under control, but this was indeed true. Nowadays, among the princes of the world, whether Cao Cao, Yuan Shu or Ma Teng, are already the top figures among the princes, if the three of them can't deal with Lv Bu. I'm afraid no one can shake the strength. However, this also shows another point, that is, if Lv Bu can't be defeated in this battle, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.
"Okay, since Cao Cao is so sincere, I also want to fight with Lv Bu to let Lv Bu know how powerful I am." After saying that, Yuan Shu turned to Wei Zhongdao next to him and said, "Wei Zhongdao, prepare for it. This time, you will go out with the army and serve as the military division. I will let Ji Ling lead the brigade to Yuncheng. This time, you must make Lv Bu look good."
At the same time, in the Ma Teng Mansion in Jinyang, Bingzhou, the atmosphere was also extremely solemn, and everyone looked serious.
"Do you want to join hands with Cao Cao to deal with Lv Bu this time?" Ma Teng sat down, glanced at the generals below, and asked. Although it is a question to the generals, the only thing that can be said here is Ma Chao Ma Dai, the two nephews of Ma Teng, and Ma Teng's original intention is to hear what these two people mean.
"Now Lv Bu is far away from Yanzhou. It is indeed a good time for us to attack Yongzhou. If we can take this opportunity to take down Yongzhou, it is indeed a good thing for our army, but before that, we have to solve two things. The first is Zhang Yang, who was fooled. Since our army came to Bingzhou, Zhang Yang has retreated, although However, its military strength is far less than that of our army, but if we go on an expedition to Yongzhou, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Yang will not jump out and copy the back road of our army. The other is Xianbei in the north. Over the years, the activities of Xianbei people have become more and more rampant. The reason why Lv Bu stationed us in Bingzhou may not mean that he wants us to deter Xianbei people, but I If the army leaves Bingzhou, I'm afraid that the Xianbei people will not be lonely and sneak up on Bingzhou. With half a silence, Ma Dai stood up first, bowed to Ma Teng and said.
"Ye, Ma Dai, your worries are all right. We must deal with these two things." Saying this, Ma Teng turned his head and looked at Ma Chao and asked, "Couer, what do you think of this matter?"
From the beginning, Ma Chao frowned and was silent. Only when he heard Ma Teng's question, he looked up and said worriedly, "I was thinking about what my sister would think if she knew about this matter. In those years, there was indeed a deep hatred between us and Lv Bu, but it is understandable that the winner is the prince and the loser in troubled times. As for Lv Bu's seizure of his sister, this is nothing. If it were us, we would not have let go of the former enemies so easily. Moreover, I can see that my sister also wants to stay for a long time. Ann." Speaking of this, Ma Chao's face showed a complicated look. Obviously, as a general of the three armies, Ma Chao hopes that he can gallop on the battlefield and create his own myth, but on the contrary, as a brother, Ma Chao also hopes that his sister will find his home.
"When we were in Chang'an, Lv Bu let us go, which was indeed a living kindness to us, but how could the court make a decision because of such personal affairs? Too much concern can only corrode the sword in your hand. Seeing Ma Chao like this, Ma Teng couldn't help scolding him. It must be that the most taboo to fight in troubled times is to look forward and backward.
"The general is angry. Now Bingzhou is not stable. At this time, it seems too early to talk about whether to send troops to Yongzhou. It's better to solve the problem of Bingzhou first and then plan Yongzhou. What's more, Yongzhou has Xunyu to preside over the overall situation, and everything needs to be discussed in the long run." Seeing that Ma Teng was angry, Ma Dai beside him quickly persuaded him.
"Although Xianbei is ambitious, it is also because we can't unite within the state, which gives Xianbei the opportunity to take advantage of it. As long as we can find a way to solve Zhang Yang, then Xianbei will stop talking." Ma Teng nodded and said on a turn of the topic. Ma Teng also understands that it was too risky to give up Xiliang in order to attack Chang'an last time. Now Ma Teng can't make the same mistake again. If he wants to attack Yongzhou, the first thing to do is to deal with the inside of Bingzhou, so dealing with Zhang Yang is the first thing to do.
"The general might as well invite Zhang Yang to the banquet, and then kill Zhang Yang on the banquet, so that it is easy to calm down the inside of Bingzhou." Ma Dai thought for a moment and then said.
"It's so good. You can arrange it." Ma Teng nodded and said.
Since Ma Teng came to Bingzhou, Zhang Yang knew that he was not Ma Teng's opponent, so he took the initiative to give up Jinyang and went to be fooled. On the one hand, he could avoid the direct conflict with Ma Teng. On the other hand, compared with the strength of Lv Bu behind Ma Teng and Ma Teng, Zhang Yang felt that he was just a small role. Since he did not have the heart to dominate the world, there was no It is necessary to fight against these people. However, Zhang Yang may not have thought of it. Although he did not want to compete with Ma Teng, Ma Teng thought about him and wanted to completely eliminate him, so as to take the whole state for himself.
Under Ma Dai's arrangement, Zhang Yang, who was deceived, soon received a letter, saying that Ma Teng got the news, and the Xianbei people seemed to have something to make a move, so he asked Zhang Yang to go to Jinyang to discuss military affairs. As a state herdsman, Ma Teng had the responsibility of defending the territory, so under the threat of foreign enemies, he called the state and county officials to discuss military affairs. It's also a reasonable thing. So Zhang Yang happily went to the appointment without knowing it. It must be that Ma Teng was also Zhang Yang's Shangguan. The two were both members of Bingzhou. Zhang Yang did not want to offend Ma Teng.
"Ha ha, how is General Ma Teng doing today? I don't know what Xianbei has done. This time I have to rely on the general to contribute to the country." As soon as Zhang Yang saw Ma Teng, he quickly bowed his hand and said.
"Someone came to take down the publicity of foreign countries here." Seeing Zhang Yang walking in with a smiling face, Ma Teng suddenly roared with a straight face. Then a bodyguard rushed in from the outside and surrounded Zhang Yang.
"This?" Seeing this sudden scene, Zhang Yang obviously didn't react and was stunned. Then he said, "General Ma Teng, what are you doing?"
"Zhang Yang, I got the news that you secretly colluded with Xianbei people to rebel when you sincerely rebelled with the chaotic princes in the Central Plains. I, Ma Teng, was ordered by the emperor to guard one side. How can I allow a villain like you to communicate with foreign countries and take it for me." There is no good reason for Ma Teng to arrest Zhang Yang. Although this kind of crime for others is not Ma Teng's specialty, as a feudal official, Ma Teng has seen a lot of crimes. If he wants to kill Zhang Yang to death, then the crime of rebellion is naturally the most appropriate. So Ma Teng didn't think much about it. He took it directly and used it.
"Hum, Ma Teng, there is no need to blame for the crime, but I didn't expect that you were such a shameless villain. I still regard you as a loyal minister who regards you as a big man and has been assisting you. I didn't expect that you are also a wolf ambition, but if you kill me today, he will kill you. It's bound to die." At this time, even if no one said it, Zhang Yang had already understood, but now that Zhang Yang has become a prisoner, it is in vain to say anything, and he can only show off his words for a while.
"You can scold as much as you want. Anyway, it won't be long before your head will leave your neck." Ma Teng doesn't care about the hysteria before Zhang Yang's death. Ma Teng has experienced too many ups and downs in his life, and he is very open-minded about this kind of being scolded.
"Superer, you can go and be fooled." Seeing that the soldiers had pulled Zhang Yang down, Ma Teng turned around and ordered to Ma Chao.
When Ma Chao led the troops to be fooled, there were already fast horses running back to be fooled. The officials who were fooled reported that as soon as they heard that Zhang Yang was killed, they had been in a mess. What's more, they didn't want to rely on the deceived city to fight against Ma Teng, so as soon as Ma Chao's army was fooled, it was very smooth to take over the fallen military power.
However, just as Ma Chao took over and was fooled, he quietly left Shangdang and went in the direction of Yanzhou. Zhang Yang must have been Ding Yuan's subordinates, and some of the people left by Zhang Yang were familiar with Lv Bu. At this time, when he saw Ma Teng killing Zhang Yang, he wanted to report this matter to Lv Bu and Lv Bu. Contact again, so that you have to find a way out for yourself when you have to.
However, it is said that Lv Bu galloped all the way to Donglai, Qingzhou, to meet Tai Shici's mother, which made many officials in Qingzhou frightened on the way. After all, these officials had either fallen to Yuan Shao or Yuan Shao was sent to stationed in Qingzhou. At this time, he was worried when he learned that Lv Bu's sudden visit. An, it is reasonable to say that Lv Bu, as a lieutenant, is the superior of these officials. These officials need to be greeted, but these officials are all Yuan Shao's people, and they are afraid that Lv Bu will take the opportunity to seize the territory, so it is not difficult. Fortunately, Lv Bu came and went like the wind. He often waited for these officials to leave when they heard the news, but this also made these officials panic. Because Lv Bu can come and go freely in Qingzhou, it has shown that Lv Bu has the complete ability to capture Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao is entangling with Gongsun Zan at this time, and there is strength to entangling with Lv Bu. Fortunately, Lv Bu's activities in Qingzhou are very short. When some officials react, Lv Bu has left. However, when Lv Bu left, there was an extra carriage in the queue, but there was an old woman sitting in the car. This person was none other than Tai Shici's old mother.
