Chapter 159: The decisive Liu Hao, Han Sui was terrified!
Xiliang's Anding County, in the Governor's Mansion.
Han Sui sat high on the throne, and on his left sat Cheng Gongying. This man was worthy of being the chief counselor of Xiliang.
Sitting on the right side is Yan Xing. Ma Teng died, Ma Chao and Pang De left, and the Xiliang warrior Yan Xing suddenly became the leader of Xiliang generals.
After Yan Xing, there were Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu and others.
These people were called the Eight Best Generals of Xiliang by Han Sui, and they were all middle-level generals of Xiliang who were bribed by Han Sui.
"Congratulations, lord, for taking the power of Xiliang!"
"The princes of the Central Plains all have the title of marquis and king. I think my lord can also be called the Marquis of Liang!"
"What Lianghou...Liangwang is the right one!"
"Hehe! No matter what, in short, in the territory of Liangzhou, no matter how big the sky is, no one is bigger than my lord. Even if the King of Chu comes, he can only be ranked second!"
"That's right, follow the master, drink from a big bowl, eat a lot of meat, and play with women as you like, haha..."
...
Although these Xiliang warriors have rough faces, they are very good at flattering them.
Han Sui looked like an elegant middle-aged scholar. He was obviously a little arrogant after being praised by everyone. He posed and said, "If I didn't get the help of all the generals, how could I control Xiliang's 100,000-strong army?"
"Ma Teng is a pedantic person, and it is difficult to achieve great things. In these troubled times, it depends on Mr. Han and us Xiliang brothers to make a name for themselves!"
Mawan, who is talking, even went to Jinling as an envoy back then.
He had seen the colorful world of the Central Plains, and when the princes were fighting, he had the idea of taking the heroic soldiers of Xiliang and marching across the Central Plains.
"hehe!"
Han Sui nodded gratefully and continued: "With me, Han, at your fingertips, all generals will surely enjoy glory and wealth... Military advisor, there should be news coming from the King of Chu soon, right?
"
Cheng Gongying stroked his beard and said calmly: "If what I expected is true, I will be back soon after riding fast for several days..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a scream from outside the door, like a pig being killed!
"It's not good! Something bad is happening!!"
Cheng Gongwang came in from the door in a dusty state, and said with a sad expression: "Master Han, military advisor, something bad has happened. I saw... Ma Chao in Chang'an!!"
"What!?"
Han Sui's expression changed and he asked: "Ma Chao, a young boy with a strong temper, did not go to persuade the Qiang people to rebel, but went to Chang'an instead?"
Everyone looked at each other, but there was no smile on their faces.
When Ma Chao was only a teenager, he was already known as General Shenwei Tian. I don’t know what a monster he was!
Ma Chao has now gone to Chang'an City. It is obvious that the news has leaked, and he has learned the inside story of Ma Teng's death. Doesn't this mean that the good deeds they did may have been exposed?
Cheng Gongying squinted his eyes and asked: "Ma Chao is just a brave man, so what's the point? The key is the attitude of King Chu. On one side there are hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, and on the other side there are only a few Ma clan members...
..”
"I conclude that... with the wisdom of King Chu, he will definitely choose to appease Master Han and stabilize the situation. This is the most beneficial choice for him and the best choice for the lord..."
Cheng Gongying analyzed it clearly and logically, and everyone nodded in agreement. Only Cheng Gongwang looked a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
Han Sui also nodded and said: "That's right! A tycoon like the King of Chu must put his interests first. Even if he knows the inside story, as long as we express our surrender, he will not do anything against us..."
"that......"
Cheng Gongwang had a hard time swallowing his saliva and said: "The King of Chu heard about the riot in Liangzhou and the tragic death of Ma Teng's family, so he sent tens of thousands of troops and went straight to Liangzhou!!"
hiss!
Han Sui took a breath of air, his head was dizzy, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood!
Yan Xing, Ba Jianjiang and others also felt as if they had suffered great internal injuries...
The hall was as silent as dead water, when suddenly there was a sudden sound!
boom!!
Han Sui smashed his fist on the desk in front of him. His face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Young Liu Hao, you are extremely hateful. You clearly don't take me seriously!!"
Yan Xing also looked solemn and said, "Military advisor, what do you think we should do?"
Cheng Gongying smiled bitterly and said: "I have racked my brains and expected that the King of Chu would recruit my lord and let him sit firmly as the governor of Liangzhou and help him guard the Qiang and Hu... Now it seems that the King of Chu is not
Playing your cards according to common sense will disrupt our subsequent layout!"
Although Han Sui killed Ma Teng and the blame for his success was placed on Zhang Ji, the people inside Liangzhou were not monolithic.
The border Qiang and Hu people are originally unruly people.
It took Dong Zhuo, a powerful overlord, several years of fighting in the north and south to barely subdue the Qiang and Hu and secure his position as the governor of Liangzhou.
Ma Teng is half Qiang, so the Qiang people are naturally more friendly to him, and he also has Ma Chao, Pang De and other peerless generals to control the situation.
Even so, Ma Teng only subdued these Qiang and Hu on the surface. As long as there is unrest in Liangzhou, the Qiang and Hu will definitely rise again!
Seeing Han Sui, Cheng Gongying, Xiliang Eight Generals and others, their faces were as ugly as their dead parents, Yan Xing raised his thick eyebrows like knives, and shouted: "Just hit me! I'm afraid of the eggs!"
Yan Xing shouted: "Assemble all the Xiliang troops and fight with Liu Hao'er!"
"well!"
Cheng Gongying pulled off his beard, shook his head and said: "The strength of the King of Chu cannot be judged by common sense. I have known for a long time that this man has taken the world by storm. Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou, Yuan Shu of Huainan, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and others have all
The princes who dominate one side were all destroyed by Chu King Liu Hao, so we must not be careless!"
Yan Xing pinched his neck and shouted: "To fight or not to fight? What does the military advisor mean?"
Cheng Gongying frowned and said: "Let me think twice, let me think twice..."
Han Sui knew that he, a wise man, would probably have a hard time tonight, so he reached out to stop Yan Xing and signaled him to be quiet.
You can hear a pin drop indoors.
Everyone was frightened by the invasion of Liu Hao's army, and they all turned their attention to Cheng Gongying.
After a while, Cheng Gongying finally beamed, stroking his hands and laughing: "Haha! Yes...I have a plan to make the King of Chu throw a rat weapon into a trap, so he has to appease the lord and make him the governor of Liangzhou!"
