"General Wei is right. Ma Teng is far inferior to our ancestor General Fubo, and he is unable to stop the Qiang and Hu coalition forces at this moment! But this is no wonder, right?"
"If General Wei hadn't launched an army to invade Yongliang, there would have been no reason for the Qiang people to unite, right?"
Anger appeared on Ma Teng's face. The root cause of everything was Liu Zhang's greed for the land of Yongliang. Why did all the faults be thrown on his head?
"There is also the matter of Xianbei. General Wei should go to the current general Yuan Shao. He can control the annexation of the two states!"
Ma Teng could endure some ridicule and some insults, but he would never allow Liu Zhang to pin things on him that had nothing to do with him.
"Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao is now focused on defeating Cao Cao. Do you think he can deal with the Xianbei people?"
After hearing Liu Zhang's words, Ma Teng became even more angry.
As a general, Yuan Shao has no control over the four states of Hebei. What should he do if he is made a prisoner?
"General Wei, don't bully others too much! Even before this, I was only the governor of Yongzhou, not the governor of Bingzhou, let alone the governor of Youzhou!"
"Let's not talk about whether the Xianbei people invaded. Even if they did, it wouldn't be my business, right? Yuan Shao doesn't care if he has hundreds of thousands of troops. How can I take care of it?"
Ma Teng's roar made Liu Zhang slightly stunned, and he found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
Is it possible that Ma Teng doesn't know Xiao Guan's situation at all?
Ma Teng was so aggrieved entirely because Liu Zhang accused him of Xianbei people?
"Ma Teng, as the governor of Yongzhou, are you responsible for all the people in Beidi County, Anding County, You Fufeng, Zuo Fengyi and other places?"
These places were not actually controlled by Ma Teng. After the imperial court divided Yongzhou, it appointed Ma Teng and Han Sui as governors respectively. In fact, the counties occupied by the two men were not redivided according to the requirements of the imperial court.
Therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui can be said to have occupied each other's counties.
However, both of them nominally obeyed the imperial decree. When Liu Zhang questioned Ma Teng's words, he had no way to refute them.
"Yes, but..."
"Nothing but!"
Liu Zhang quickly interrupted Ma Teng and stopped him.
"Since you admit that you are responsible for the people in these places, now that the Xianbei army is about to invade Guanzhong, do you want to watch these aliens wantonly murder the people of our Han Dynasty?"
Liu Zhang's eyes were wide-eyed, his expression was extremely painful, and there were even bloodshot eyes.
This sudden roar made Ma Teng tremble, and then he looked at Liu Zhang in disbelief.
"Xianbei army? Where did the Xianbei army come from?"
"Invasion of Guanzhong? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Since the death of Shanyu Tanshihuai in Xianbei, and the continuous internal strife among He Lian, Qian Man, Kuitou and others, the entire Xianbei has long been torn apart. How can there be any remaining strength for a large-scale attack?"
Ma Teng has lived in Yongliang for a long time. It can be said that since his birth, only Helian has attacked Beidi County, and he also ended up dead.
How much Liu Zhang wanted the facts to be as Ma Teng said, it was absolutely impossible! But the facts were already in front of him.
"Why did I lie to you! At least 200,000 Xianbei cavalry are about to invade, and then the entire Guanzhong land will be devastated!"
"Invasion of Guanzhong? Pay back 200,000?"
Now it was Ma Teng's turn to be amazed by the numbers. Unfortunately, the shock only lasted for a moment, and his eyes turned into a look of disbelief.
"General Wei has to think of a suitable reason if he wants to deceive me, right?"
Liu Zhang was not angry because of Ma Teng's doubts. When he heard the news, he thought it was a very vague thing.
"I won't say more about swearing. I'll tell you the news. Xiao Guan has been destroyed by Han Sui!"
"Han Sui is crazy!"
Ma Teng stood up directly and looked at Liu Zhang with an angry look.
Xiaoguan is one of the four fortresses in Guanzhong, and Ma Teng knew very well how important it was to Guanzhong.
With Xiao Pass here, no matter how many armies of foreign tribes are there, they can't sneak past. Even if they invade Guanzhong, they can only sneak attack from other small roads.
Whether it was the Xiongnu before them or the Xianbei who came later, they all suffered from the obstruction of Xiaoguan, so they put more energy into the border of Bingyou.
"General Wei, this is not a joke!"
Liu Zhang stared at Ma Teng with an extremely serious look in his eyes.
"If it wasn't really a critical moment, would it be necessary for me to tell you so much?"
Liu Zhang picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then threw the cup to the ground.
"Ma Teng, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't bear the foreigners torturing the people, I could have withdrawn my troops and just sit back and watch you and the Xianbei people bite each other!"
"But as a descendant of the great ancestor, as a general of the imperial guard, how can I sit back and watch the aliens wreak havoc on the land of the Han Dynasty? Even if I fight to the last soldier, I will fight to the death with the Xianbei dogs!"
Ma Teng was shocked by Liu Zhang's words. He seemed to see the shadow of his ancestor Fubo General Ma Yuan in Liu Zhang.
What Liu Zhang said was absolutely correct. He could have withdrawn his troops back to Hanzhong before the Xianbei and Qiang people encircled him. Relying on the danger of Yangping Pass, he could completely guarantee that Yizhou would be safe.
On the contrary, it was Liu Zhang's determination to be benevolent and righteous, to have great wisdom and courage, and not to give up on the people of Yongliang and Guanzhong that prompted him to persevere.
"General Wei, did Han Sui do this on purpose to paralyze General Wei?"
After thinking about it, Ma Teng still didn't think there would be enemy troops coming to Xiaoguan.
"Why are you so sure that no Xianbei cavalry will attack Xiaoguan?"
Liu Zhang couldn't help but question Ma Teng. He really didn't understand where he got his confidence.
"General Wei doesn't live on the border and doesn't know much about the situation of the Xianbei people!"
"After Tan Shihuai's death, He Lian took charge of all Xianbei tribes. He Lian's early death triggered a fight between Qian Man and Kuitou, which completely tore Xianbei into pieces."
"The former leader of eastern Xianbei, Suli, led eastern Xianbei to become independent and active in Youzhou."
"Kirby, who was born in a small tribe, has won the hearts of Xianbei people because of his bravery, good fighting skills, fair conduct and fair law enforcement. In addition, he is generous and does not love money. More and more Xianbei people support him, and now he is the most popular among Xianbei people.
The largest force is active in Dai County and the area north of Shanggu."
"There are two other forces in the northern part of Bingzhou, and they are the direct descendants of Tanshihuai."
Liu Zhang frowned, once again puzzled by Ma Teng's words.
"Two forces? Isn't it just Budugen's force that's left?"
Liu Zhang felt very depressed. Could it be that his previous analysis was wrong?
Ma Teng shook his head, showing a very sure look.
"Bu Dugen inherited Kuitou's power and is the weakest among the four Xianbei tribes, with only more than 20,000 people controlling the line."
"After Qianman's death, Fu Luohan took the opportunity to gather his tribe and gradually annexed the tribes in western Xianbei that were the first to rebel. It is said that there are currently 60,000 to 70,000 people who control the strings."
If what Ma Teng said is true, then what Fazheng said before is undoubtedly wrong!
