44, escape 2
The kingdom, who had escaped from death, rode his horse and rode away.
Looking at the figure of the kingdom gradually fading away, Ma Teng waved his hand and asked someone to raise the clan brother who was lying on the ground and moaning, and asked his subordinates to apply medicine to him. The people present were confused about his actions, but they did not dare to speak, and they fell into silence for a moment. Seeing that the deterrence imposed on others on the court was almost the same, Ma Teng looked around the crowd again and said slowly:
"This short-sighted person only knows how to get the head of the kingdom and get gold and silk horses, but he doesn't know that Han Sui is deliberately trying to weaken other people and dominate Liangzhou. If we go to Han Sui, we will definitely become a abandoned soldier on the battlefield next time!"
After Ma Teng expressed the interests of the people who defected to Han Sui, he stared at the expressions of the people present. Seeing that everyone was timid after hearing this, he felt a little relieved.
Although Han Sui's withdrawal of troops successfully used the hands of the Han army to bury all the people who competed with him, forming a situation where he was dominant in Liangzhou. However, his treacherous behavior also left a crack in the hearts of all those who survived. As long as he makes good use of this crack, he will sooner or later tear open the situation where Han Sui dominates Liangzhou.
It is unknown who will win the destiny!
Since everyone's hearts began to shake, Ma Teng quickly struck while the iron was hot, and he continued:
"Although we are defeated at the moment, the Liangzhou families are also seriously injured. We are rushing back to Guzang at this time. With the people accumulated in the past, we still have great potential. Why should we bow down to others? This man in the Kingdom has a great grudge with Han Sui. When he returns to Liang at this time, he will definitely bring disaster to his death. But he is also an ambitious person. How can he be easily awarded the title to others? He will inevitably return to Hanyang and Han Sui to decide his life and death. Today we will give him a horse to help him return to Liang, and divide Han Sui's power to dominate, and there will be a heavy retribution in the future!"
Ma Teng's words made it clear and understand the changes in the situation in Liangzhou. At the moment when the coalition forces were defeated, the forces of the various Liangzhou families had also changed, and they were in a vacuum period of various forces. When he returned to Guzang's former land, he still had great potential to revive the righteous army. He let the kingdom go, not to mention whether it will be rewarded in the future, just for the blood feud between him and Han Sui. When he returned to Liangzhou, he would inevitably fight with the traitorous Han Sui again. He used him to cause trouble for Han Sui, so that Han Sui could avoid letting Han Sui dominate the Liangzhou family and gain more time for his own side to regain his troops in order to get back.
After hearing Ma Teng's words, the others who suddenly realized were convinced, and their fear of Ma Teng changed into awe. Ma Teng saw that his goal had been achieved, looked at the sky, and stopped talking, urging everyone to hurry up.
···
At the same time, Han Sui, who had just retreated to Yu Mi, did not stop in the city. He repaired his troops and replenished the discarded food and grass, and then kept running non-stop to command the army to go on the road again. Han Chang saw that the soldiers were tired and his uncle was still urging him to rush to rush. He was hesitant about the advice at this time, but in the end he gritted his teeth, bravely followed Han Sui, and asked:
"Uncle, the Han army's pursuers have been repelled by our cavalry, and there are no pursuers behind us. Why don't we stay in the city for a longer time and gather the broken soldiers? Although these men and horses were defeated, they have a lot of desire to fight again. Many of them are the elites of my Liangzhou!"
After Han Sui heard Han Chang's words immediately, he slowly turned around and looked at Han Chang with a serious expression. When Han Chang saw his uncle's expression, he thought he had said something wrong again, and he felt sad. After a while, he heard Han Sui's earnest voice sound.
"Chang'er, do you really think your uncle is worried about the failure of the Han army. In the first year of Huangfu Song Zhongping, he wiped out the Yellow Turbans and appointed him as generals. He made great achievements in the military, but he could not resist the slander of the people in the court. Even if he was removed from office, he was even dismissed. Dong Zhongying resigned as a general by suppressing our Liangzhou rebel army. In the pursuit of Chen Cang, the Han army defeated our Liangzhou coalition army. The generals and ministers of the Han army were rich and noble. How could they not have the intention to protect the enemy? Even if Huangfu Laoer was really loyal to the king, Dong Zhongying would definitely block it. Such an unrestrained and unfair army would have more than one's own ambitions. Now, it is no longer our enemy."
"Why is the uncle still like this-"
Although Han Chang felt less suspicious after hearing Han Sui's words, he immediately passed many confusions.
"The reason why I hurried back to Liangzhou was for the two things in the Liangzhou coalition!"
Han Chang did not ask any questions again. He knew that his uncle had a long-term plan and his actions must have unique plans and plans. Although he could not guess his uncle's heart, he just needed to listen quietly now, which was also sharing his worries for his uncle.
Han Sui looked at his nephew who was listening quietly, and felt aroused from his heart. He sighed, but his tone was still firm when he spoke again.
"I led my army back to Liangzhou for two things, one was to intercept the kingdom, and the other was to support Yan Zhong!"
These are two major events that Han Sui had already decided on the destination of the Liangzhou coalition forces after he led his troops to get rid of the Han army's pursuit.
The intercepting of the Kingdom was to avoid the counterattack of the Kingdom. Since joining forces with the Kingdom, Han Sui knew the Kingdom's nature and ambition. If he did not die on the battlefield, he would definitely flee back to Liangzhou to make things difficult for him. Han Sui could only turn Chen Cang's crimes of defeat on the Kingdom that was determined to fight.
The support of Yan Zhong was a countermeasure that Han Sui had thought of when he was determined to resolve the kingdom. It was naturally not difficult to abolish his position as the leader in the kingdom. It was difficult to support who should be the leader after killing the kingdom. Han Sui knew the principle of keeping a low profile and taking action later. Therefore, he would never be willing to force himself to take office on the cusp of defeating the abandoned kingdom and granting the population. Therefore, it was particularly necessary to support a puppet leader who was famous but had no real power. Han Sui thought about it and finally chose Yan Zhong.
As far as he knew, although Yan Zhong, a famous scholar in Liangzhou, had also joined the official position, he was the highest position, and he did not have much power or family background to rely on. Moreover, he had long seen that the Han Dynasty was in chaos, so he simply abandoned his post and returned home to live and support his hopes. Such a person was what he could borrow at present. Supporting Yan Zhong could block the various families in Liangzhou and provided a name for righteousness for Han Sui, who was actually in power, to unify the forces of Liangzhou.
This is why Han Sui was anxious to return to Liangzhou. Although staying can gather more disintegrated people and strengthen his own power. However, "the two evils are the least, and the two interests are the most powerful." In order to unify Liangzhou later, and to appease the instability in Liangzhou after the great defeat, Han Sui would rather abandon some of the elite troops of the Liangzhou coalition forces and rush back first.
But these complicated truths were still difficult to explain to his nephew for a while, so Han Sui encouraged Han Chang for a few words and stopped talking. Han Chang knew that these two things were of great importance and no longer spoke. But he looked back and looked east, saw the mountains covering the distant view, and remembered Yan Xing and others who he deliberately won over in the selection army. He didn't know if they could escape after hearing their warnings in advance.
Han Chang sighed in his heart:
Chapter completed!
