"There are so many famous and wealthy people in Chang'an who are not as good as you if they run out of agencies." [Shepherd Boy's Song]
Ma Teng calmed down and thought about it carefully. He thought it made sense, and then said, "What about the second thing?"
"The second thing..." Han Sui glanced sideways at Ma Teng and said in a pretentious tone: "It depends on us."
Han Sui met Ma Teng's doubtful eyes and explained word for word: "I am guarding Liangzhou empty-handed, and there is no help from the court. It is not a long-term solution. And you are also in the same predicament. Why don't we join forces and help each other?"
The person who really needs to rely on is not Ma Teng, but Han Sui himself. When he learned that Ma Teng was attracted by Ma Rixi, he knew that he and Ma Teng were about to be divided by the court. At that time, Ma Teng had the Ma family of Fufeng as his backer, and
But Han Sui had nothing.
If the imperial court wanted to settle old scores one day, the first person it would have to deal with would be Han Sui.
Therefore, whether it was out of jealousy that Ma Teng had a good background or a desire to protect himself, Han Sui had to drag the other party into the water, at least to make Ma Teng and himself stand on the same line.
The reason why Han Sui spent so much trouble was mainly because he didn't want Ma Teng to feel that he was asking for something from him, a descendant of the Ma family and an upstart in the court. Instead, he wanted Ma Teng to fall into a disadvantage and then turn around and ask for something from himself.
Only when the status of both parties is equal, or even if you take the initiative, will you be more likely to profit.
Ma Teng is a kind person after all, and he still doesn't understand that Han Sui has been deliberately exaggerating that he will become a victim of the political struggle between Ma Rixi and the Yang family. The purpose is to put himself in danger, thereby angering Ma Rixi and coming to terms with Han Sui again.
Let's go together. After hearing this, he said: "Liangzhou is far away, and there is Yongzhou in the middle. How easy is it for us to help each other?"
"It's not difficult." Han Sui leaned over carefully and said: "Zhong Yao, the governor of Yongzhou, has been an official for so many years, but he has never shown any talent in military use. He only has calligraphy and talent. But these things are not as good as those in other places in Guandong.
The prefectures and counties are easy to talk about; but in Liangzhou, this is not the foundation of one's life."
What is the relationship between mutual aid and Zhong Yao’s knowledge of the soldiers?
Ma Teng suddenly felt that the matter was important. He was not confused about this kind of matter: "Do you still have that in mind now?"
He seemed to have forgotten that he had almost said something rebellious just now. At this time, he said righteously: "I will not let you do that kind of thing again. The court's treatment of me... is not bad. Let me rebel because of a conspiracy."
, that’s too unreasonable.”
"No one wants to take this step until the end." Han Sui closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "This is just a precautionary measure. If something really happens, you and I can't sit back and wait for death, right?"
Ma Teng was already stunned. He had worked with Han Sui for several years. He only knew that he was sophisticated and good at planning. Although he was kind to others, he was extremely cold at heart. He looked like a gentle scholar on the outside, but in fact he always behaved like a gentleman.
The posture of a desperado.
"It's not a last resort, we have to talk now!" Ma Teng picked up the jug and filled Han Sui with wine.
Han Sui saw that the other party had already taken the bait, so he hurriedly reached out to touch the cup to express his gratitude. He raised the cup and sipped briefly before putting it down. He smiled and said: "Well, let's talk about it now. You have married Situ, this is temporary.
In order to rely on you and rely on its power to survive, if one day, Situ accidentally miscalculates... then I will be your fallback, and I will also be your capital to rely on the power of your life."
Ma Teng was kind-hearted and not scheming, but he was not stupid at all. He knew that with Han Sui as his support in Liangzhou, he could make the court use a virulent weapon against him, and the same was true for Han Sui.
"Okay!" Ma Teng made up his mind and said loudly: "I don't have the heart for scheming. When I was in Liangzhou, I also conspired with you and listened to you on many things. Now, although the two places are separated, they are still
Don’t forget the friendship and mutual support we had in the past. Come on, let’s have a look!”
Han Sui picked up the cup and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
From then on, the two treated each other as brothers and talked in detail for a while. Suddenly a man came outside the door and said that Ma Yu, the servant, wanted to entertain Ma Teng.
"I came just after I said it." Han Sui said with a bright smile: "It's better to go and accept the appointment. It will be more practical to get more benefits for yourself."
Ma Teng pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard. Han Sui stood under the door, watching Ma Teng get on his horse and bowing politely to say goodbye. Then Han Sui turned back to Cheng Gongying who was walking slowly and said: "Do you think I went too far? Follow me.
Ma Rixi was actually the best way out for him, but now he is as scared as a tiger by my few words, and he still chooses to walk on the same road with me."
Cheng Gongying was Han Sui's fellow Jincheng man. He was capable of both literary and military skills. He was Han Sui's general and his confidant. He stood quietly and listened to Han Sui's hypocritical remarks and said calmly: "This world has always been like this. Ma Ri
It is impossible for Wei to really regard him as one of his own, nor will he protect him for the rest of his life. His demise will be a matter of time, it just depends on whose hands he falls."
He was scheming and knew that Han Sui had bad intentions. Out of interests, he didn't think there was anything wrong. However, out of moral reasons, Cheng Gongying still disapproved of this approach. He bowed and said: "After all, the prince has the same contract with him.
For him to fall into the hands of Fujun can be regarded as the end of brotherhood."
"Your words make me seem heartless and unjust." Han Sui was a little dissatisfied and immediately turned around and walked back.
Cheng Gongying followed him, half a step behind, and said calmly: "I didn't say that."
"But you think so." Han Sui took Cheng Gongying to the stable, drove away the groom, and walked over to stroke his horse: "Do you know why the country only transferred Pang De from Ma Teng's army and not from me?
Will your subordinates transfer you?"
"I am an unknown person, how could your Majesty think so highly of me?" Cheng Gongying shook his head.
"The country didn't want to kill Ma Teng, so it just divided his troops and let him put all his wealth under Ma Rixi." Han Sui looked at the horse that was eating grass and said coldly: "And the country
The reason why I let you stay with me is not only because I want my life, but also your life!"
As he said that, Han Sui glanced at Cheng Gongying with a knife-like gaze, and his eyes met Cheng Gongying's, and the sparks disappeared in a flash.
Cheng Gongying thought for a while and said: "Zheng Beke Duan Yu Yan?"
Han Sui slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the horse again, and said: "Your Majesty clearly stated the state of the country, and said that there are three major reasons for the chaos in the world. One is natural disasters, and the common people lose their property; the other is eunuchs, and the court loses its power; the third is
The Qiang and Hu people spent money and lost their land."
"In recent years, there has been enough rain in Guanzhong, and there are big projects such as farming and water conservancy, so we don't have to worry about refugees. In addition, the eunuchs are also honest, and my relative Dong Cheng is not overbearing. Everything is under the control of the state." Han Sui
He added a handful of fodder to the manger and asked without looking back: "Given the country's qualifications and ambitions, do you think it would be better to resolve the centuries-old Qiang chaos once and for all, or should we live in peace with each other and ignore them as long as they don't contradict each other?"
How about it?"
This is an obvious answer. Cheng Gongying cupped his fists and said, "I am short-sighted."
"The Liangzhou Qianghu are the foundation for my survival. Without them, I can only be manipulated by others. If the court wants to show kindness and righteousness to the Qianghu, I can just comfort them and benefit from it; but if the court wants to use weapons...
"Han Sui's expression suddenly turned cruel, and he pressed down hard on the horse's head.
"No matter what, I have to plan for myself!"
