Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 177 Half of Liangzhou, All in My Hands
It can be said that in this era, there are almost no people who can match the talents of Wolong Zhuge Liang.

Now some people claim to be a combination of Jiang Ziya, Guo Jia, and Zhuge Liang.

This kind of arrogance.

Ma Su almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Everyone came to the main hall of Qu's house, where the guests and hosts sat down.

Thinking of the crisis Qu's family is currently facing, Qu Yun feels restless, wishing to get to the point immediately, and the two families join forces to kill the bald Xianbei.

Let the bald-haired Shoutian know what happened to the Qu family by provoking him.

But the old god Ma Di was sitting in the guest seat, chatting with him casually, not in a hurry.

Depending on the situation, before the atmosphere is in place, Ma Di will not rashly raise the matter of alliance.

Drinking one bottle after another, Qu Yun soon became a little drunk, and couldn't help bringing the topic to the main topic.

"Ma Gong came all the way, maybe not just to ask for a glass of water?"

of course not!

Ma Di stopped the wine bottle, looked straight at Qu Yun, and said straight to the point: "What does Qu Gong think of Xu Miao?"

Xu Miao?

A great talent in governing the country, an important minister valued by the three emperors of Cao Wei.

But obviously, this is the standard answer, but not the answer Ma Su wanted to hear.

"The minions who usurped Wei, I will capture them sooner or later!" Qu Yun made a strong statement, and then asked back: "I don't know what Ma Gong thinks of this man with bald hair, Shoutian?"

At this time, Dai Ling suddenly took over the conversation: "The person you are talking about is the bald-haired Shoutian, the son of the bald-haired Xianbei leader Tuoba Pigu?"

"It's him." Qu Yun nodded, "Tuoba Pigu died this autumn, and the leader of the Xianbei tribe is now Shoutian."

Ma Di understood: "It seems that such foreign races who invaded Han will not be killed and kept for the New Year?!"

The two looked at each other, and burst out laughing tacitly.

In the hall, the members of the Qu family who understood the subtlety hidden in the words all nodded their heads knowingly; those who did not understand were at a loss, asking questions with their heads full of question marks.

Just laugh.

Qu Yun first waved his hands to screen off the idlers and others, and then bowed his hands to Ma Di: "To be honest, my Qu family is in big trouble, and I hope General Ma will help me!"

At the moment, I briefly described the ins and outs of the bald Shoutian's siege of Linqiang Qu's family.

After hearing this, Ma Di said seriously, "It's easy to say, easy to say, if Shoutian dares to attack Changning, I will make him come and go!"

This is not casual perfunctory.

Although the tentacles of the bald Xianbei have just entered the three east counties of Liangzhou, they have actually occupied the Xijun and Xihai counties in the northwest of Liangzhou for ten years.

If Ma Di wanted to attack Liangzhou, he would definitely confront them.

Since they are enemies sooner or later, there is no need to be merciful.

Qu Yun sighed, with a worried expression on his face: "That Shoutian has been besieging my Linqiang Qu family for seven days, and the situation is very critical now. We must first solve the crisis in Linqiang before we can think about anything else."

"If the general is willing to join the battlefield at this time, and attack Xianbei with our soldiers, and sneak attack Shoutian, we will succeed in one blow! That Shoutian is the supreme leader of the bald Xianbei. If he dies, Xianbei will collapse!"

"I wonder what the general thinks of this strategy?"

When he said this, Qu Yun took a special look at Qu Shang, who looked proud.

He obviously thought that the strategy he had come up with was very clever.

I have no soldiers in my hand, how can I attack Ma Di? I waved my hand slightly, and said carefully, "No, this plan is very wrong. If Shoutian dies, his tribe will flee in all directions. If there is another hero in Xianbei in the future, he will come back again." Liangzhou, what can I do?"

"Besides, your Qu family has repeatedly rebelled against the Wei state, but it can stand in Liangzhou and not fall. It is due to the prosperity of Shoutian, Xianbei and Qiangdi."

"If Qiangdi and Xianbei are removed today, your Qu family will be in great trouble soon."

Is there such a thing? !
Qu Yun was stunned, and looked at Qu Shang, seeing the sudden look in the latter's eyes, he suddenly realized that if there were no Qiang and Di people in Liangzhou, and if there were no Xianbei rampant, his Qu family should have died ten years earlier. Before that, he was killed by Wei Guo.

Because there are few Han people in Liangzhou, the State of Wei tolerated the rebellion of the Qu family again and again, but did not pursue it.

Having figured this out, Qu Yun immediately respected Ma Di: "Then according to the general's opinion, what should we do now?"

Ma Su pondered and said: "In my opinion, this Shoutian can only slow down, not rush."

"If you don't send someone to tell him to stop the army for the time being, then you and my two families join forces to plan for Liangzhou first, and then Shoutian. This is the best policy."

The whole plan is well thought out.

It sounds much more clever than Qu Shang's strategy.

"Okay!" Qu Yun was excited, "Listening to what you say is like seeing the sun through the clouds!"

Qu Shang lowered his head in annoyance, raised his glass to cover up his embarrassment.

After listening to Ma Di's high-level remarks, he suddenly felt like a frog in a well.

What a shallow knowledge!

Shallow knowledge is not terrible, what is terrible is self-righteousness.

Qu Shang is not feeling well.

During the banquet, Qu Yun and Ma Di exchanged cups and made an offensive and defensive alliance, and then arranged for Ma Di to live in Qu's house.

Collusion.

In an antique courtyard.

Ma Su stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhang Xiu calmly.

Zhang Xiu suddenly panicked, waved his hands again and again and said: "General, I'm clumsy with my tongue, if I go to lobby Shoutian, I'm afraid it will ruin the big event..."

Ma Di was noncommittal and turned to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yunfeng stroked his beard calmly: "Youchang, if I go, then Shou Tian agrees to stop the soldiers, then let it go; if he does not agree to stop the soldiers, I will make his blood splatter five steps!"

Ma Di quickly shifted his gaze, and his eyes fell on Dai Ling.

Dai Ling looked left, then left, and saw that there was no one else on the left or right, so he had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "General, the general is willing to go."

Usually, after a general joins a new force, he needs to make some achievements to show his loyalty, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in this camp.

Therefore, there is no excuse for Dai Ling to make this trip.

Can only bite the bullet.

When it comes to mediating disputes between two families, Ma Di is quite good at it.

He was not a fight in his life, but only liked to fight.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Dai Ling to convey a word to the bald-haired Shoutian.

Come to negotiate quickly, if you don't come, you will bear the consequences!

——

——

Three days later, thirty miles northwest of Linqiang County.

An appointment place.

More than a dozen people from the Qu family, Xianbei, and Ma Di gathered here.

For the bald-haired Xianbei, the leader Shoutian and five strong and mighty followers came;

From the Qu family, Qu Yun, the head of the clan, Qu Bu, the fierce man, Qu Shang, the first counselor of the Qu family, and Qu Ping, the patriarch of Linqiang County, came.

As the mediator, Ma Di stood between the two families, flanked by Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Dai Ling.

Looking forward to it.

Qu's family and the people brought by Shou Tian almost strangled each other as soon as they met.Qu Ping, in particular, was the most excited, and he sprayed ten times a second, a lot of blah blah blah, all of which were questioning and accusing Xianbei.

Unexpectedly, the bald-haired Shoutian denied all the accusations, claiming that the Qu family members killed their clansmen and robbed their cattle and sheep first, and they were forced to fight back in self-defense.

At the same time, many witnesses and physical evidence were given, and many clansmen who died tragically, as well as some standard armor and weapons of the Koji family-proved that they were indeed fighting back in self-defense.

So the bald-haired Xianbei besieged the Qu family this time, not because Xianbei was warlike and unreasonable, but because the Qu family was at fault first.

After hearing these sophistry words, Qu Ping became furious immediately, and cursed the bald-haired Shoutian for being cunning and insidious.

That's right, the evidence provided by Bald Shoutian is indeed true, but there is a premise that Bald Xianbei first drove the cattle, sheep and horses to Qu's crop field and gnawed them.The Qu family could not be driven away, so they had to resort to violent measures.

As soon as this remark came out, the anger of both sides could not be suppressed immediately.

The situation seemed to be getting out of control.

Zhao Yun drew out his saber with a "clang clang", his tiger's eyes widened with murderous intent.

The two sides fell silent for a while.

Ma Di was too lazy to talk nonsense, looked at the bald-haired Shoutian with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your clan must immediately cease fighting!"

Bald-haired Shoutian is about 30 years old. He has a rough appearance, a strong physique, and long hair scattered around. He looks extraordinarily powerful, but in fact he is thick and thin.

Hearing this, he quickly nodded and bowed his head to express his position: "Don't worry, general, I will withdraw my tribe right now."

Ma Di turned to Qu Ping: "Are you satisfied with this result?"

Qu Ping was obviously not convinced, but the situation was like this, Xianbei was strong and the Qu family was weaker, so he could only swallow his breath first.

The current situation in the three eastern counties of Liangzhou is very interesting. Even if the bald Xianbei who invaded the east are not counted, there are still as many as several forces and soldiers entrenched here.

The guards of the three prefectures in the state of Wei each had a soldier and horse, and the Youjia of Wuwei, the Qu family of Jincheng, and the Qu family of Xiping each had a soldier and horse.

In addition, there are scattered Qiang people and Di people, all of whom have clan soldiers.

Usually, they all stay within their own sphere of influence, and on the surface they obey the control of the State of Wei. In fact, most of the affairs, the words of the State of Wei are not easy to use at all.

This can be seen from the repeated rebellions in Liangzhou.

Wei Guo's control over this place is extremely weak, far less firm than the five counties of Longyou.And the control over the five counties of Longyou is far less firm than Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

This is the current situation in Liangzhou.

It is also the reason why Zhuge Liang likes to send troops out of Qishan-to take advantage of the weak control of Wei State to eat away at Longliang.

Of course, this is only the situation in the three eastern counties.

Looking at the whole of Liangzhou, especially the five counties in the west, the situation is more complicated, with various forces intertwined.There are not many people in each tribe, but they are extremely aggressive. They beat you to death in the morning, and they can sit together drinking and call each other brothers in the afternoon.

They have different views and interests on different issues.

Therefore, there are frequent battles between various ethnic groups, and a small matter may trigger a war that affects a wide range.

Faced with this kind of chaos, Ma Su had no choice but to proceed step by step, starting with the three eastern counties, cutting off the connection between Wei State, Liangzhou, and the Western Regions, and then developing westward.

Then step by step to settle Liangxi and the Western Regions.

Of course, it doesn't need to be so troublesome in the dungeon, as long as the three cities are defeated, it will be considered a pass.

Therefore, it is not enough to just contact a Koji family, you must also add Youjia.

Because Youjia has a large number of cavalry.

Although the Koji family also has cavalry, they mainly use half-step and half-rider, while the Youjia have all cavalry.

In this era, cavalry is relied on. In the plains, if there is no cavalry, they will die no matter what.The most obvious example is the Western Han Dynasty. In the early Han Dynasty, there were no good horses and they dared not fight the Huns. It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that they had enough horses that they dared to speak loudly against the Huns and other nomadic peoples.

Moreover, the three major guards in Liangzhou all have cavalry, but they cannot bring their own soldiers and horses in the trial map. Only when Ma Di gets cavalry can he implement targeted strategies against the three major guards and lure the Wei soldiers of the three cities out of the city. , all annihilated.

Otherwise it is a waste of effort.

Just imagine, if there are not enough cavalry, even if the soldiers and horses of the three cities are lured out, Ma Su will not be able to defeat them, let alone keep them.

Wuwei County, Youjia.

You Fang, the current patriarch of the You family, is very distressed. He has often had nightmares recently. In his dreams, he often dreams of ten thousand horses rushing in the face, stomping on him. Every time he wakes up, he feels scared.

As a last resort, he had to ask the alchemist to interpret his dream.

After doing some calculations, the alchemist said, "The nomadic Qianghu in Liangzhou will be a serious problem for the You family." .

After thinking about it, You Fang felt that what the alchemist said was not unreasonable, because only the Qiang Hu in Liangzhou could have thousands of horses and horses.

But after You Fang contacted Xu Miao, governor of Liangzhou, he did not receive a positive response as he hoped.

In Xu Miao's view, not to mention that the Qianghu in Liangzhou cannot be killed at all, I am afraid that as soon as Wei Guo takes action, the good relationship with the Qianghu Di tribe will immediately break down.

Moreover, what Wei State wants is a Liangzhou where many ethnic groups live in harmony, not a deserted Liangzhou.

Furthermore, since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its core propositions are: benevolence-based, government with virtue, self-restraint and ritual, teaching without discrimination.

Han people have always been tolerant and lenient towards foreigners.

Instead of being violent and punishing for a disagreement.

Therefore, Xu Miao flatly rejected You Fang's request without even thinking about it.

Since Qiang Hu couldn't be attacked, You Fang had no choice but to send someone to contact the Qu family, intending to form a group to protect himself.

As soon as the people sent to Qu's house had left, Ma Di arrived.

Although You Fang was surprised that Ma Di was so courageous that he dared to go to Weidi alone, he was not rude on the surface, and welcomed the latter into the mansion politely, and entertained him with good wine and food.

As a qualified patriarch, You Fang is well aware of Ma Di's energy and the purpose of this trip.

Originally, he hesitated whether to capture this person and ask Wei Guo for credit, but after seeing Zhao Yun, he quickly dismissed the idea, and his attitude became a little more enthusiastic in an instant.

After some quick talks, Ma Di quickly persuaded You Fang to stand in Shu Han.

You Fang generously allocated half of the soldiers from You family, that is, [-] clan soldiers, to help Ma Di.

When Ma Di paid the necessary price: After taking Liangzhou, he gave the Youjia no less treatment than at this time, and at the same time dealt with all the Qianghu tribes who were entrenched in Liangzhou.

Otherwise, You Fang will feel uneasy.

Jincheng County, Changning County.

Ma Di looked at the miscellaneous cavalry consisting of two thousand cavalry from You family and two thousand cavalry from Qu family, he couldn't help being a little high-spirited, and occasionally a little puzzled.

Everything went so well!
To be honest, the methods of this wave of empty gloves and white wolves are actually not very clever.

But both the Qu family and the You family readily chose to form an alliance with him.

Ma Di frowned and thought for a long time, probably realizing that the aggressiveness of the bald-haired Xianbei helped a lot.

Although the battle has not yet been triggered, Ma Su, who has [-] cavalry, already feels that the chances of victory are within his grasp.

Half of Liangzhou is already in my hands!

He just has that confidence.

Looking at the cavalry assembled by Qu and You, Zhao Yun repeatedly shook his head and sighed, and couldn't help saying, "Youchang, this battle is not optimistic."

Ma Su instantly understood what Zhao Yun meant.

The cavalry assembled by these two families has uneven combat effectiveness, and I am afraid that they cannot beat any of the three guards of Wei State.

But war never waits for anyone!
