() When he decided to persuade Dong Zhuo to send troops, Ma Yue already thought that someone would use this matter as a means to attack and deny him.So when faced with Fangzheng's doubts, he didn't show panic, but just smiled frankly: "I don't deny this. People are not grass and trees, so they are ruthless. My family is in danger. I, the Son of Man, naturally want to Rescue. But I advised the lord to send troops not because of this, but because it is more conducive to the future development of the lord in Xiliang."

"Smart words! Do you have any evidence for what you said? I think it's better to let the Qiang people capture Long County, so that the Lord will have less constraints in Liangzhou." Fangzheng sneered disdainfully, Here are all Dong Zhuo's confidantes, and they are not afraid to say some things bluntly.However, Dong Zhuo was still a little unhappy after hearing what Fangzheng said, and the person involved didn't know about it.

"Short-sightedness!" Ma Yue couldn't help but sneered and said, "I said just now that Long County is my seat in Xiliang, if it is captured by the Qiang people, it will have a huge impact on the overall situation of our war in Xiliang , At that time, with my more than 1 horses, how can I deal with the enemy several times, just rely on the mountains of food in the city? And this people's hearts will also be completely collapsed due to the fall of Long County, which will be the imperial army in the future Come on, it is not easy to clean up the mess!"

Being ridiculed face to face by Ma Yue made Fangzheng even more furious, but he couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while, so he had to look to Xu Ling for help.Xu Ling scolded an idiot in his heart, and then he said: "Although what Zhongling said is a bit alarmist, there is some truth in it. This Long County is indeed not to be lost. But don't forget that our current situation is only With more than 1 horses, why should we compete with the Qiang people?"

"If we only talk about military strength, we are indeed much weaker than the Qiang thieves, but this is only the superficial situation. The victory or defeat of a battle is not always determined by the number of troops. Are there few battles in history where fewer people win more battles? Don't forget, everyone, this is Xiliang, the territory of my great Han. Qiang thieves, who have come from afar, have flaws after all, as long as we can make good use of this, we will not be afraid of their invincibility!" Ma Yue put forward his own opinion .

Li Ru's eyes lit up when he heard him mentioning this: "Did Zhong Ling think of any power that can be borrowed?"

"That's right. Apart from the city where we are, there are many castles of wealthy families in Xiliang. Since they are members of the Han family, and their family and country are in trouble at this time, it's time for them to do their part!" Ma Yue is full of confidence.The seeds he had planted before could finally blossom and bear fruit at this moment.

Dong Zhuo and the others also quickly understood what he meant.It turns out that the battles during this period of time were only between the Han army and the Qiang people, and Wubao, a powerful man with considerable power in Xiliang, never helped in the battle except for sending some food.Now Ma Yue is going to use these powers to deal with the Qiang people!

Seeing that Dong Zhuo and the others seemed to be moved by Ma Yue, Xu Ling felt even more anxious.If Ma Yue stole the limelight again this time, the two of them would really fail if they wanted to be valued by the lord.Now, they are full of rebuttals for the sake of rebuttals, and they don't care about anything else.

Immediately, Xu Ling sneered: "You really are self-righteous! Do you think those wealthy families are your lackeys, so that you can come and go as soon as you call them?"

"Exactly! It was a great honor for them to provide our army with hundreds of thousands of grains. Now you want them to openly send troops to help me. This is really fantastic!" Fangzheng also said.

Although the words of the two were very blunt, they also hit everyone's concerns.A person like Dong Zhuo who is famous in Xiliang doesn't dare to say that he can command those aristocratic families for his own use, otherwise the court would not have removed him from his official position last time.So even though these two people were deliberately targeting Ma Yue, he didn't say anything to reprimand him, but just looked at him, waiting for Ma Yue to say something.

Ma Yuchu guessed how dissatisfied these "senior" would be with him, but at this moment he was no longer afraid of the threat of these people.Perhaps in the past, he would shrink back and consider the feelings of these people, but today, he will not do this again after he has made a lot of contributions to Dong Zhuo, not to mention that this matter is related to the future of Xiliang, and The safety of the family members in Long County is even more important.

After smiling, Ma Yue looked at the two of them: "You only know one thing and don't know the other. You only know that those wealthy families have always been proud, but you never thought that they are also my people. If they are evil but do nothing, it will be difficult for them to obey the crowd. I am afraid that those fortresses who depend on them to survive will not obey!

"In addition, the reason why these tyrannical powers have been able to survive in Xiliang all year round is also related to the policy of the imperial court here. If the Qiang bandits really seized control of Xiliang this time, I am afraid that these forces will become unstoppable immediately. Water from a source is a tree without roots. I'm afraid they know this better than anyone else, so they will spend a lot of money and food to help our officers and soldiers wipe out the thieves.

"Because of this internal and external reason, I can guarantee that as long as the imperial court gives an order, these powerful forces in these places will definitely be used by me, and join hands with us to send troops to fight against the Qiang thieves! It's just what I said just now, the relationship between these powerful forces and my government , is also a relationship between lips and teeth, and neither of the two parties can do without the other!"

This statement of pros and cons made everyone startled when they heard it, and then many people wanted to understand the key point and nodded one after another.And Li Ru also nodded afterwards: "My lord, this statement is also consistent with Ruzhi's thoughts. As long as we can point out the interests and interests of these powerful families, they will definitely help. With the power of these powerful families, as long as they help with all their strength, Our army will be able to win a complete battle. Of course, it would be inappropriate to send troops rashly in the current state of our army. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to rest in Lintao first, and then send people to contact several wealthy families. Convince them to send troops, and then join forces to rescue Long County at the same time. Presumably with the current strength of Long County, even if the Qiang bandits cannot be defeated, there should be no problem if they want to hold on for a while."

Seeing that even Li Ru said that, other people who were still watching nodded in agreement: "Wen You is very right, this matter is related to the entire future situation of Xiliang, and we really can't just focus on immediate interests. Since Zhong Ling said that he is sure that he can persuade those aristocratic families to come to help, then we will start preparing immediately!"

Dong Zhuo also nodded: "Then act accordingly. Wen You, Zhong Ling, I entrust this matter to you. As for the others, they must be there to help. This time, I want to put an end to the Qiang rebellion in one fell swoop. wipe out!"

Seeing this, Ma Yue could only sigh, but still couldn't convince Dong Zhuo to send troops immediately.But this is also an extremely helpless thing. Dong Zhuo has never been the kind of person who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Between the righteousness of the court and his own small profits, he will always choose the latter.So it is normal to have the decision to save yourself first, and then think about sending troops.He only hoped that Long County could really survive until the moment when the reinforcements arrived.

Afterwards, he also stood up together with the others, and loudly agreed to Dong Zhuo's arrangement.However, Ma Yue found that the faces of Fangzheng and Fangzheng were both a little blue. Obviously, the two of them hated him to the core for this young man who repeatedly swept them face, but there was no way to do it. Are there conflicts of interest between them?And he also believed that with his status in the Lord's mind today, it would be very difficult for these two people to calculate him, so there is no need to worry too much about what these two people will do.

"How is it? Have you persuaded Dong Zhuo to send troops?" After everyone dispersed, Ma Yue came outside and met his elder brother Ma Chao, who immediately asked questions.As Ma Yue's elder brother, Ma Chao was naturally no less worried about the safety of Longxian's family than his brothers.

Ma Yue nodded: "It has already been said that Dong Zhuo will no longer stick to this place and send troops to save Long County. It's just that it will take some time to send troops. After all, the army has just turned back and needs time to rest. In addition, we have to communicate with him." It also takes a lot of time to contact the great family."

"As long as he is willing to send troops, that's fine. With the defense of the city of Long County and the garrison of tens of thousands of horses, it will not be possible for the Qiang bandits to capture the city in just a few days." Ma Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he Said: "I just don't know if the Qiang thieves will suddenly divide their troops because they know the situation here, or will they suddenly withdraw when they can't attack for a long time?"

"This should not be possible. The strength of the Qiang thieves is not as good as it was when the war started. If they divide their troops, it will only be difficult for both ends to gain. Anyone who understands the art of war should know the possibility of concentrating on one point. If they just do this If you give up, not only will you lose your own strength, but they won't be afraid that our big Han army will take the opportunity to counterattack?" Ma Yue said with a smile: "So now they have only one way to go, and that is to use all means to capture Long County as soon as possible, and With the city defense of Long County and the tens of thousands of officers and troops stationed there, it will not be easy for them to capture it. I am afraid that the more anxious they are to capture the city, the greater the price they will pay, and nothing will be gained in the end. Unless They can have internal support..." At this point, the smile on Ma Yue's face suddenly retracted, and an extremely disturbing thought flashed across him, he actually put such an important situation aside!

Ma Chao also noticed the sudden change in his brother's mood, so he asked, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong?"

"It's wrong, it's really wrong!" Ma Yue's complexion changed several times, and then he blamed himself: "Why did I ignore this? It may not be impossible for these Qiang thieves to take down Long County in a short time , you don’t even need to attack by force!”
