Liu Rui whispered: "This place is not a place to talk, let's rush to Tianshui Pass first, take a look at the situation, and make plans!"

Ma Chao also nodded hurriedly, and everyone was speechless, galloping all the way, and returned to Tianshui Pass again.Those soldiers of Xiliang who were camping outside Tianshui Pass were overjoyed when they saw Ma Chao leaving and returning, and when they saw the army led by Liu Rui.

After adding Liu Rui's arrival, he immediately ordered Ma Chao's Xiliang army to replenish food and grass, and even slaughtered pigs and cattle to add meals to these Xiliang soldiers, which immediately made many Xiliang soldiers grateful.

And Ma Chao, after busy with all these things, came back to Liu Rui's tent.

"Meng Qi, you're here, come and have a look!" Liu Rui was discussing the crusade against Han Sui with Guo Jia in front of the sand table, and when he saw it was Ma Chao, he said with a smile.

Ma Chao's spirit has improved a lot in the past few days. With Liu Rui's support, his heart is also determined. He gradually emerged from the shadow of Ma Teng's death and the disaster in Xiliang. When he saw Liu Rui, he hurriedly left. In the past, he whispered: "Uncle Huang, Meng Qi has been thinking about something for a long time, but he still can't get an answer."

Liu Rui glanced at Ma Chao, and said indifferently, "What Meng Qi said was the assassination of Brother Shoucheng?"

Ma Chao nodded and said, "I know that Uncle Liu is a bright and upright person, and he will never do that kind of despicable means, but it's just scary. Recently, many of my generals have shaken their beliefs, thinking that Uncle Liu You are buying military hearts and wanting to capture Western Liang!"

Liu Rui laughed and said: "Then Han Sui is just a fool who was used by Cao Mengde and Jia Xu. You go and call your subordinates, and I will naturally have a way to prove it."

Ma Chao left with his hands, and after a while, he saw the generals of the Xiliang Army and Ma Chao all come here.Qiankun Tingshu Network www.qktsw.com

Liu Rui had been waiting for a long time, and now seeing the crowd gathered, many generals under his tent were already present, he said with a smile: "There are rumors in the Xiliang army that I, Liu Haosheng, are plotting against Xiliang, so I sent someone to assassinate Brother Shoucheng. "

Having said that, Liu Rui looked at the expressions of many Xiliang generals in the field, and found that several of them had a firm look, and it seemed that they were the ones Ma Chao said.However, Liu Rui is not angry, nor will he anger the other party because of this.Instead, he said with a smile: "Last time, Brother Shoucheng and I joined forces to deal with Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lv Bu and Yuan Shu. At that time, fighting side by side with the Xiliang army, I also deeply realized the bravery of Xiliang Erlang."

At this time, when the generals of Xiliang heard Liu Rui's praise, they couldn't help but show a hint of arrogance. Rui's praise is naturally an honor.

"However, have you ever thought that if I want to capture Xiliang, I only need to trap Brother Shoucheng at that time after defeating Liu Bei and other princes, and directly cut off the food and grass of the Xiliang army. In this situation, do you have the strength to resist?" Liu Rui's words changed, but it surprised everyone present.

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, he couldn't help recalling what Liu Rui said, and subconsciously nodded again and again.

At that time, Liu Rui defeated the coalition forces of the four princes, and the [-]-strong army under his command was at a time when morale was high. At that time, Ma Teng was only [-] horses, and all his food and grass were supplied by Liu Rui.

As Liu Rui said, if Liu Rui covets Liangzhou, he only needs to pretend to have a celebration feast and detain Ma Teng Ma Chao and other generals of Xiliang.At the same time, the Xiliang army's food and grass are cut off, and the [-] horses can be easily starved to death without Liu Rui's hands!

With such a simple method, why did he, Liu Rui, go to someone to assassinate Ma Teng?Now that Xiliang is divided into two?

Immediately, some of the generals in Xiliang stood up, bowed their hands and said, "The last general misunderstood Liu Huangshu before, and asked Huangshu to convict him."

Liu Rui shook his head, looked at Ma Chao again, and said, "Meng Qi, you are the head of Liangzhou, what do you have in mind for this crusade against Han Sui?"

Ma Chao shook his head and said a little disappointedly: "Then Han Sui turned against the elites of my Xiliang army. My troops are not as good as him. Now that he occupies Xiliang City and defends it, I can't do anything about it!"

Liu Rui nodded and said: "Xiliang has a long way to go. We still need to make a plan for the crusade. Otherwise, if it drags on for a long time, there may be another change."

After learning that Jia Xu had taken refuge with Cao Cao, Liu Rui was a little more wary.This poisoner's tactics are always unexpected, and most of them are outside the rationale, and it is also extraordinarily troublesome to deal with.Therefore, when he came this time, he could only use thunder to quickly deal with Han Sui and calm down the rear, so that he could concentrate on turning back to deal with Cao Cao.

It was also at this time that Mao Chao said in a low voice to many Xiliang generals: "Everyone, in the past, you followed my father to fight in the north and south, breaking into the solid foundation of Xiliang, but I, Ma Chao, have just When I took over, I lost my foundation. I am truly ashamed of my father's love!"

Many generals were at a loss, and they didn't know what to do. Even Liu Rui couldn't guess what Ma Chao wanted to do, so he could only watch silently, but Guo Jia, who was on the side, suddenly lit up and looked at Ma Chao with approval.

Ma Chao raised his head when he was able, looked at Liu Rui with a burning gaze, and said, "Uncle Liu is brave and resourceful, and he is also the pillar of rejuvenation of my great man. I, Ma Mengqi, have no virtue and incompetence. If Uncle Liu can avenge me, Ma Mengqi is willing to be driven by Uncle! Even if he leads the horse and falls into the stirrup, there is no complaint!"

This remark immediately stunned everyone in the field, and even Liu Rui looked at Ma Chao in astonishment. , , .

392: Invasion of Xiliang

As soon as Ma Chao's words fell, some of the Xiliang generals hurriedly knelt down and cupped their hands: "My lord! It's the incompetence of the last generals who failed to avenge the lord!"

The rest of the Xiliang generals also looked ashamed. The so-called master was worried about the death of the minister. Now that Ma Chao is doing this, he is slapping all the subordinates in the face of Chi Guoguo!

Liu Rui also said anxiously: "Meng Qi doesn't have to be like this. In the past, brother Shoucheng helped me defend against the enemy. How could I plot his foundation? If you do this, don't you make outsiders look down on me, Liu Rui, and you, Ma Chao, too? ?"

Ma Chao stubbornly shook his head, bowed his hands to Liu Rui, and said solemnly, "I have been having trouble sleeping day and night these days, then Han Sui holds Xiliang in his hand. I can't take revenge, not to mention that Cao Cao is still far away in Gunzhou, Qingzhou, even if I, Ma Chao, recapture Xiliang, I will still be out of reach, and it will be hard to avenge my revenge!"

After a pause, Ma Chaoyou said: "The real estate in Xiliang is poor and the population is sparse. It cannot be compared with the Jizhou Sili in the hands of Uncle Liu, but if Uncle Huang is in control of Xiliang, he will no longer need to worry about the rear, and he can concentrate on it. South."

The generals of Xiliang on the side were silent. Compared with the prefectures and counties under Liu Rui, Xiliang was indeed not enough to watch.

But no matter what Ma Chao said, Liu Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Meng Qi, don't say it anymore, we will lead the army tomorrow to retake Liangzhou for you. In the coming day, we will send troops to attack Cao Cao and avenge your father!"

Ma Chao also shook his head and laughed and said, "Before Ma Chao went to ask Uncle Huang to send troops to help, it was already a matter of right and wrong. Now Uncle Huang is still planning for me everywhere, Ma Mengqi deserves it!"

After that, he walked straight to Liu Rui, knelt down on one knee, and bowed his hands solemnly: "My lord is above, please accept Ma Chao's worship."

And behind him, the many generals of Xiliang all looked at each other, all saw Ma Chao's firmness, and they all said in unison: "My lord is above, please accept the last general!"

Only then did Liu Rui stand up and support Ma Chao with a heavy face. In fact, his heart was already overturned, but if he agreed to it outright, it would be difficult to gain the loyalty of the Xiliang Army. completely different.But if you continue to refuse, that's what a fool would do.

"Meng Qi, don't worry, Brother Shoucheng's hatred is also my Liu Rui's hatred. I, Liu Rui, swear to heaven here, that Han Sui will be captured in this battle. Ask him about the crime of betraying the master, come here. Ri Ye will definitely capture that Jia Xu and avenge the death of Shoucheng brother!" After a pause, Liu Rui looked at Ma Chao again and said, "Xiliang army, only under your command, Ma Mengqi, can play its greatest role. , these generals of yours will still be led by you in the future, and when you fight against Cao Mengde in the future, I will definitely let you Xiliang Army take the lead!"

After that, Liu Rui looked at the many Xiliang generals in the field again and said, "Everyone is exhausted today, go back tonight and have a good rest, tomorrow our army will leave the camp and go to meet Han Sui Han Wenyu for a while. ."

All the generals took orders with a bang. From this moment on, although they were still under Ma Chao's subordinates, the object of allegiance above their heads was replaced by Liu Rui. From this moment, Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son have been operating Xiliang for decades. The army is now under Liu Rui's command.

On the second day, Liu Rui brought his troops and horses, as well as those Xiliang troops from Ma Chao, and set out for Xiliang.

Speaking of which, during this period of time, Han Sui has gradually controlled a large area around Xiliang City. In the past, his prestige was second only to Ma Teng. Now Ma Chao is leading his troops to withdraw. The entire Xiliang group is leaderless. With Han. As soon as they stood up, naturally, many old Xiliang ministries responded immediately.

As soon as Liu Rui's army entered Xiliang, Han Sui immediately got the news.Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

"Then why did Liu Rui come so quickly?" Even Han Sui was taken aback. According to the marching distance, unless Liu Rui had started from Chang'an long ago, it would not have been possible in such a short time. Just arrived in Xiliang.

"My lord, it is said that Ma Chao went to invite Liu Rui to send troops, but he met Liu Rui's men halfway." The general who reported the letter sneered: "My lord said earlier that Liu Rui was plotting my great cause in Xiliang, but now it seems that it is in this way!"

Han Sui nodded, and Liu Rui's actions gave evidence to his remarks, so he immediately sneered, "It's okay, you go to inform all the people right away, and when the army is assembled, we'll do it in one fell swoop. Killing that Liu Rui, as long as that Liu Rui is dead, this prosperous place going east will be nothing without owners!"

The general also said excitedly: "My lord, as long as you kill Liu Rui, then Jizhou Sili and Yuzhou will be easy to get rid of!"

Han Sui also smiled and said, "Let's go gather the army, then Liu Rui came to die on this long journey, we must not let down the hearts of others!"
