Chapter 180: The Dutiful Son Ma Chao
In fact, Ma Teng is not a fool either. He has a few pages of history. Anyone who can leave his name will not be a real reckless man, nor will he deliberately humiliate Han Sui just because of his personal grudge.
Although Ma Teng is from Guanzhong, after all, after all, after being in the northwest for so many years, the Liangzhou flavor on his body has become increasingly serious.
There is no moral ethics that emerge out of thin air in this world. Any moral ethics serves for survival and the continuation of civilization. In Liangzhou, living is the greatest morality, and hatred is worthless in front of survival.
Ma Teng could roughly guess what Han Sui was going to say to him, and he knew that Han Sui was right without Han Sui saying it out loud. It was just that if two harms were combined, they would benefit both. This was the normal operation of their Liangzhou warlords.
But he still wanted to humiliate Han Sui to the extreme, killing him with his might, in order to let him understand who is the eldest and the eldest.
"It's not a solution for everyone to kill. We Liangzhou people could have put down our weapons and lived a good life, but because of your selfish desires, we can't live a good life. I want to hold an alliance in Chang'an and invite heroes from the northwest to participate in the great cause. Brother Wenyue, please do not hesitate to help me."
Han Sui sighed with a pig's head-like eyes and said, "All alliance is not a problem, but if you become the leader, everyone will not accept it."
"It's okay, you can be the leader of the alliance. Can I assist you as a general to lead your troops to fight?"
As he said that, Ma Teng waved his hand and was about to end the conversation, but he planned to hold Han Sui hostage and unite the heroes in the name of Han Sui.
His family knew his family's affairs. Although Ma Teng had the biggest fist, he was not as big as he could have any advantage in crushing his strength. In this year, Han Sui joined forces with more than a dozen princes from all over the place of Guanzhong to beat him up, but he beat him up very badly.
To put it bluntly, Ma Teng, a Guanzhong man, was an outsider in the Xiliang army. It was precisely because of his identity as a Guanzhong man and he did have a lot of plans to calm the people that he made him fist the more he fist on this Guanzhong land. But no matter how big the fist is, outsiders are ultimately outsiders. What’s more important is that the Qiang people have many prejudices against him and cannot truly accept him.
But he was so involved with these Xiliang thieves. The famous scholars in Guanzhong, the heroes in Guandong, and even the court all regarded him as one of the Xiliang thieves, and treated him as a warlord of Xiliang. This kind of embarrassment that is not human inside and outside, and it is all about tears when he says it!
Han Sui was different. This person has a high prestige in Liangzhou, especially since he was deeply supported by the Qiang people. If he could annex his troops and then join the northwest heroes under his name, slowly absorb and digest them, he might not be able to become one of the princes who control the situation in the world!
As for Han Sui, if he is honest, it would be no big deal to let him live safely for decades under the name of the leader. If he is not honest, he has some ways to make him honest.
Han Sui also knew Ma Teng’s thoughts. To be honest, he was relieved. This at least means that Ma Teng would not kill him immediately.
As long as your life can be saved, there is always a possibility of turning over in the future. The so-called puppet, no matter how miserable it is, can it be worse than the emperor several years ago? Aren’t they still turning over?
However, Han Sui was taken down so simply, of course he didn't want to. He immediately asked with his neck in his mouth: "There is no problem with the alliance, but you have to clarify what the alliance is for? Should we further seize the world, or to establish the western regime's independence from the Han court?"
Ma Teng said: "Do you think I am a traitor like you? I want everyone to join forces to give up their swords and farm with peace of mind, and live a good life on their own. How can I have such a disobedient heart? Fighting, killing, and living creatures are tragic. I have lived enough of such a life, and all the soldiers under my command have lived enough."
Han Sui frowned tightly when he heard this and suddenly said, "No! You, have you received any promise from Jia Xu? Ma Teng, we have no way to go. Now, Han and Zhao are fighting, a great opportunity. With me supporting you, it is a great opportunity for us to be kings in Xiliang! "
Ma Teng sneered and refused to answer.
Han Sui got the name from Ma Teng's smile and asked, "What promise did Jia Xu give you? Did he say he wanted to express your wish to be the governor of Yongzhou? This is simply absurd. Yongzhou is the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and Chang'an is the capital! What power does Jia Xu have? How many courages do you have to let you be the governor of this place?
Once the court frees his hand, how can we let go? Jia Xu is currently building Tongguan. If this pass is successful, we can only stay here and everything will be done. At present, he is very proud of his surrender, but if the new soldiers are not adjusted, it will be difficult for the superiors and subordinates to command properly. Moreover, Liang Xing and Zhang Heng and others are the two ends of the rat. He Zhong and He Zhong break through the pass. No matter what we do in the future, we will take the dangerous pass first. We will not be wrong to cultivate ourselves!"
Ma Teng ignored him and just said, "Chao'er, Uncle Wenyue is tired, please 'invite' him."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Ma Chao hugged Ma Teng, then punched Han Sui hard in the stomach, interrupting his speech that was still chattering, and then left with him.
It was not difficult for him, so he found him a fairly clean room, but that was the only one. He didn't even send a maid to him, but turned around and was about to leave.
"My nephew Ma Chao stays, can you listen to me?"
"The revenge of killing your mother is irreconcilable. What can I say about you, the evil thief?" (Just treat Ma Chao as the eldest son, although it is quite unreasonable)
"It depends on whether a good nephew wants to be a hero or a common man. If a good nephew can't even let go of his little personal grudges and is willing to go to the court to be a hostage, then I have nothing to say."
"How do you know I'm going to be a proton in the court?"
Han Sui felt a little slack when he heard this, but he smiled and said, "This is not something that is difficult to calculate. I have calculated that Jia Xu will definitely use sweet words to deceive your father. Since your father wants to use me to join the heroes, but he refuses to attack Tongguan, he must have painted a big cake for your father. Think about it, could it be that he is really the governor of Yongzhou? If he is really the governor of Yongzhou, Jia Xu will definitely let him send his son as a charity. In this way, his nephew will probably be unable to escape and die."
Ma Chao was shocked and said inexplicably, and hurriedly: "Why do you say that your father's Yongzhou Mu is a painting cake? Why do you say that I can't escape death?"
"I have just mentioned the reason. How could the court allow our border people to occupy Yongzhou and Chang'an with justification? It's just a delaying strategy."
"Oh, Brother Shoucheng is also very clear. He is just defending Liangzhou and watching the success or failure of the world. After a few years, Yongzhou has recovered its vitality. If the world changes, he will use Yongzhou as the basis and then sweep the world. If the court revives, he will give up his troops and become an official in the court and be able to keep his descendants for generations, right? Alas, be confused, really confused!"
"Confused? Where are you confused?"
"Nephew, I ask you who are we? We are from Liangzhou! When did the adults in the court treat us Liangzhou as people?"
Taking a deep breath, Han Sui continued: "We are all forced to rob the swords and guns. We ride the horses with swords and guns. The people of the Central Plains will be afraid of us. For us, the people of Guanzhong are lambs to be slaughtered. If we put down the swords and guns and pick up the hoes now, it will not take ten or eight years, but only two years, can we still hold the swords and guns?"
"this……"
Seeing that Ma Chao seemed to be moved, Han Sui said, "Can you give me a cup of hot water? I have a dry cough in my throat."
"Oh, uncle, please wait."
As he said that, Ma Chao really found hot water for Han Sui.
After a sigh of relief, Han Sui lowered his head and thought about it. He took advantage of this time to organize language in his mind and wonder how to fool the little wolf.
He also knew Ma Chao and Han Sui. In fact, in the few words just now, he had already used the concept of "we are from Liangzhou" without knowing it and secretly helped Ma Chao change his camp and position.
After all, although people like Ma Teng have been in Liangzhou for most of their lives, they can only be regarded as some Guanzhong people who have transformed into Western Liang. They even take pride in their ancestors, General Fubo, Ma Yuan.
Ma Chao is different. He was born and raised in Liangzhou and has three-quarters of the Qiang tribe (grandmother and mother are both Qiang people). He can basically be regarded as a native Xiliang people with ancestral home in Guanzhong. He accepted Xiliang people, who are the values and ethics of Qiang people.
The Han people valued the kindness of the father and the son, and had a strong sense of family, but this was not a big deal for the Di people and the Qiang people.
What Han Sui had to do was to guide the dialogue, from the matter between me and you father and son, to the matter between us Xiliang people and their Guanzhong people.
After a while, when Ma Chao brought hot water for Han Sui, Han Sui had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind. After drinking water in a decent manner, he said to Ma Chao:
"My dear nephew, our Xiliang people are suffering. When there is less precipitation, there will be sand disasters. When there is too much precipitation, there will be snow disasters. The court does not pity our loneliness, but instead regards us as enemies, Qiang people and Di people. If they do not rob, they will not survive without robbery. Have you ever thought about what to do if Shoucheng takes the post of the governor of Yongzhou? Should the Qiang people and Di people move inward? If there is another rebellion in the Qiang and Di people in the past few years, will the court ask him to lead troops to attack? How can he, the governor of Yongzhou, deal with himself?"
"Once you put down your sword and plant the land, the Han people who fled before will definitely come back. Now Bingzhou is fighting, maybe a large number of Han people in Bingzhou will migrate south. At that time, do you think Yongzhou will be ours? When the Han people recover their vitality, how will they obey our leaders? Here, Hu and Han live together, how can we and Guanzhong people urinate in a pot? How can there be no conflicts? Do we still see such things?"
"Whether the Han people bullied the Qiang people or the Qiang people bullied the Han people, your father can't solve it. If he is close to the Han people, he will not have to fight him or not, and he may have to collapse himself.
If he is close to Qiang, once the world is stable, the debate between China and the barbarians will resurrect. Do you think the court and the people of Guandong can tolerate him? Can he survive?
If he enforces the law impartially, is fair and strict, and goes on for a long time, he will only end up being a person who is not a person inside or outside, and is out of control. Everyone in the world knows who Jia Xu is from Tongguan. Will he miss this opportunity to sow discord? By then, just dealing with rebellions in various places will be enough to make your father worried.
The court is now building Tongguan. After this pass is completed, the court can attack and retreat or defend. What will your father fight for the world in the future? How can he protect the wealth of the whole family? I am afraid that the whole family will be gone!"
Actually, although there is a little reason for this, there are actually quite a lot of contradictions. If Ma Teng can really be the governor of Yongzhou, he can actually show his identity as a descendant of Ma Yuan and absorb more famous scholars to praise him. It is easy to be whitewashed, and it is not impossible to even get the support of the people of Guan Zhongshi Lin.
Besides, whether it is a disaster in Liangzhou, a conflict between Hu and Han, a strategic room for being blocked by Tongguan, or even the troops give up the weapons and don’t farm and get together again, or even the provocations that Jia Xu might have done, there is actually a common solution: Isn’t it over to fight Hanzhong?
Yizhou is now a piece of fat meat!
After all, it was a temporary trick to think of it. It was not easy to think of this point. If you don’t think about it carefully, you can’t see the flaws. If you are a little stupid, you will be easily fooled by him.
And Ma Chao is just a little stupid young man.
To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of the same position. To put it bluntly, it is still the same as whether their Ma family is from Guanzhong or Xiliang, or even Han or Qiang. Their perceptions of the two fathers and sons are different.
As the saying goes, when a person becomes a spirit, just by looking at Ma Chao's expression, Han Sui knew that his trick of deception had shown his magical power this time.
So he sighed: "Ah~, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that your young hero should have galloped on the battlefield and established unparalleled achievements, but now he is going to be sent to Xu Du as a qualifier. Let me guess, the court has given you a guard, right? Haha, it's good to be a guard for the emperor. But Brother Shoucheng's move is a little cruel. In a few years, there will be a battle between the court and him. By then, you, the son, will die on behalf of your father."
Ma Chao was fooled at this time and actually knelt on one knee and said, "Why can uncle save me?"
