From the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 183 to the present, very few can be called warlords in the Guanzhong and Yongliang areas.
In addition to Ma Teng and Han Sui, it is probably Dong Zhuo and Li Jue and Guo Si who succeeded Dong Zhuo after his fall.
Judging from the time when Beiqiang fell silent, it was undoubtedly after Dong Zhuo was killed.
Judging from the stupid characters of Li Jue and Guo Si, it is difficult to control these Qiang people.
Therefore, the answer can be readily revealed.
Ma Teng nodded, confirming Liu Zhang's guess.
"General Wei is indeed very intelligent!"
Liu Zhang was not pleased by Ma Teng's praise. This news was very heavy for him.
If the Beiqiang have always been in a neutral state, then it can be assumed that they are timid and afraid of getting into trouble. As long as there is no threat to them, they can continue to wait and see.
Now we have the news that Bei Qiang once relied on Dong Zhuo, which just proves that this Qiang tribe has extremely high ambitions!
Ma Teng and Han Sui can be said to be the first to gain momentum. If Beiqiang joins one of the two, it will immediately break the balance of Liangzhou.
However, Beiqiang looked down upon the two of them and resolutely chose to follow Dong Zhuo.
I’m afraid I don’t want to add icing on the cake, I just want to provide help in times of need!
The Beiqiang want to rely on Dong Zhuo to completely dominate the Qiang people!
It can only be said that things are unpredictable. Beiqiang accompanied Dong Zhuo through the most difficult moments. Just when he was about to usher in glory, Dong Zhuo fell.
This was not the end, Dong Zhuo was killed and his forces were almost torn apart. In the end, Li Jue and Guo Si managed to make a comeback with the help of Li Ru.
"Brother Shoucheng, haven't Beiqiang approached Li Jue and Guo Si?"
"By the way, have you heard anything about Li Ru?"
Li Ru is a talented person who is best suited to do some shady things.
Judging from the fact that he dared to poison Liu Bian, it can be proved that this man had no fear in his heart.
But after Li Jue and Guo Si gained power, Li Ru seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
"General Wei, Beiqiang once tried to reunite with Li Jue and Guo Si. But you know the virtues of these two people. They are simply incompetent and resourceful."
"Li Ru is just a little person. I really don't know anything about him."
Ma Teng had no impression of Li Ru at all.
To these warlords, Li Ru was just a counselor of Dong Zhuo and did not deserve their too much attention.
Perhaps because of Liu Zhang's sudden rise to power, Liu Bian did not ascend the throne.
This also resulted in the fact that the Han Dynasty did not have the title Han Shao Di.
Li Ru failed to poison the emperor, so his reputation would probably be much smaller.
"Brother Shoucheng means that the five major Qiang tribes will unite to fight against our Yizhou Army?"
Now Liu Zhang has no intention of worrying about Li Ru's affairs. The Qiang coalition is about to become a serious problem that is more difficult to deal with than the Xianbei people!
"General Wei had better make preparations early. The five major Qiang tribes, together with Han Sui and the Zhou family, will probably have no less than 300,000 troops!"
"Three hundred thousand..."
Liu Zhang exclaimed, then gently held his forehead.
When did you start facing hundreds of thousands of enemies?
In the entire Guandu battlefield, there were only 150,000 people on both Yuan and Shao's sides!
He led an army of 100,000 to the north to Yongliang, but he was at an extreme disadvantage in terms of military strength!
Is it possible that you want me to put an end to Wu Huan Hua myself?
As a time traveler, I naturally want to strangle the Wuhuanhua in the cradle. This has also been my ambition since childhood.
But you have to give it some time, right?
You can't just occupy a state and have an army of 100,000 and then engage in a genocidal war with two barbarians, right?
Liu Zhang couldn't help having a headache, and he felt bitter in his heart.
Counting the Nanman and Di people in Yizhou, Liu Zhang faced more than a million foreigners!
Liu Zhang's solemn look did not make the defeated Ma Teng feel secretly happy.
The defeats in successive battles and the intrigues within and outside the forces have already made Ma Teng mentally exhausted!
These leisurely days made Ma Teng feel more peaceful than ever before, so some thoughts inevitably grew in his mind.
Maybe there is nothing wrong with letting Liu Zhang rule Yongliang...
Maybe it’s time for the people on the border to live a peaceful life for a few days...
It was precisely because of this change in thinking that Ma Teng was willing to tell Liu Zhang so many things about Yongliang.
"General Wei's troops are elite and brave, there is no need to be like this! I believe that a mere 300,000 Qiang people are no match for General Wei's elite troops!"
Ma Teng meant what he said. He had never seen such elite soldiers and generals as Liu Zhang's!
Just the iron shield formation made Ma Teng fall to the ground in admiration.
"Brother Shoucheng really thinks highly of me..."
Liu Zhang really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed after receiving such praise from Ma Teng.
The source of all self-confidence requires the confidence of soldiers and generals!
The Liangzhou cavalry was not afraid of Han Sui because it was supported by Taishi Ci's Wu Feng Camp and Che Xuan Formation.
The reason why Liangzhou's fine cavalry is not afraid of Ma Teng is because of the iron shield array and the army ambushing on all sides.
If he could gather all the elite forces in Yizhou, Liu Zhang would naturally not be afraid of the Qiang people, and he could even wear them to death.
But there are currently less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the elites under his command are not even well organized.
There are only more than 7,000 people left in Wufeng Camp, which relies on the strongest offensive power. Even if the Chexuan Formation is used to its full potential, facing 300,000 Qiang people, it will only end in destruction!
Without the Wu Sheying camp and the heavy armored infantry trap camp who are good at defense, what confidence did Liu Zhang have to conquer the Qiang people?
I'm afraid that under the current situation, it would be good if we don't get eaten by the enemy!
Ma Teng's eyes were very surprised, which was completely different from the invincible Liu Zhang in his impression.
Is this still the same Liu Zhang who wiped out Han Sui's 40,000 cavalry in one day and wiped out all 30,000 of his own elite cavalry in one day?
"I heard that there is a battalion of cavalry under General Wei who are proficient in the method of hanging the chariot of the Huo Qiao cavalry. Together with the heavy armor and iron shield infantry, how can those Qiang people with extremely poor equipment and even no leather armor be the elite soldiers of Yizhou?
rival?"
Maybe this was great news for Liu Zhang, but he still couldn't be happy.
The mere number of troops puts too much pressure on him!
"Brother Shoucheng, Liu Zhang is really grateful that you are willing to tell me this! I wonder if brother Shoucheng can help me, so that the people of Liangzhou will no longer endure the pain of war!"
At this time, Ma Teng's attitude immediately became a key and decisive role.
If Ma Teng surrenders, no matter how bastard Ma Chao is, he will definitely have some scruples. There is even an extremely slim possibility of persuading Ma Chao to defect.
It is also unknown whether the Wuwei County Zhou family and Gong Tangqiang will change their attitudes because of Ma Teng's defection.
If the attitudes of Xianling Qiang and Gong Tang Qiang are unclear, Bei Qiang, who has always been in a neutral position, may also have some scruples.
The key points of the entire Yongliang War were all focused on Ma Teng!
"General Wei, please forgive me for not agreeing!"
