296: Level banquet, each hint!
"General Yan Xing, it's my younger brother Ma Dai, hit the switch and let us in!"
After walking all night, Ma Dai and the others were also a little tired. When they saw that they really met an acquaintance, they hurried over to say hello.
"Open the switch to let them in, and ask someone to prepare some food and drink to send to my tent. I want to catch up with Brother Ma Dai!
The soldiers guarding the checkpoint were all subordinates of Yan Xing, and naturally no one dared to question his orders.
More than a dozen soldiers from Long County were arranged to rest in the camp, while Ma Dai followed Yan Xing to drink and chat in his tent.
Entering the tent, Ma Dai said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to disturb General Yan Xing so late!"
Yan Xing waved his hand and replied: "What's the problem? Besides, the military situation in front is tense. I also received General Han's general and told me to switch on and off to welcome you at any time. I saw Brother Ma coming at the moment of "May 23". General Shoucheng Ma should be here soon!"5
Ma Dai nodded and said: "My uncle is currently stationed at the border with 2,000 horse generals, and he sent me to send documents and documents to the checkpoints along the road. What unnecessary misunderstandings have occurred on the way to the province! 35
When Yan Xing heard this, he felt the importance Ma Teng attached to this meeting.
On the one hand, Ma Teng received a letter in the morning and came to the border in the evening to be stationed. On the other hand, he also brought 2,000 Ma family troops, which also showed that he was still prepared for Han Sui.
"Brother Ma Dai, don't worry, General Han Sui wants to talk with General Shoucheng this time. After all, Jincheng County and Hanyang County have a bitter relationship. Now that foreign forces are attacking Xiliang, it is naturally our people in Xiliang who are united as one. time! 39
After Yan Xing finished speaking, he raised his glass and invited Ma Dai to drink the glass.
The two of you came and I drank three bowls in a row, and then stopped for a while.
At this time, Yan Xing told Ma Dai about Jincheng's arrangement.
"General Han Sui has set up a camp fifty miles outside of Jincheng for talks. You can go there with your troops tomorrow, but the two thousand Ma family troops are a bit too much. I think you should only bring seven or eight hundred people with you. Just stay at this level and wait!"
Han Sui was actually very sincere about this meeting. He took into account that Ma Teng would not enter the city, so he set the meeting place fifty miles outside the city.
However, it was also very close to the city fifty miles away. In order not to disturb the people in the city because they saw the troops from other places, Han Sui did not want Ma Teng to bring too many people close.
"The battle in Hanyang County was tense, and the enemy troops in Ji County had changed again, so my uncle came to bring more troops to protect him.
"But General Yan Xing, don't worry, in order to express sincerity, my uncle will only bring a hundred followers to follow me tomorrow, and the rest of the Ma family army will stay in the gate and wait, but I may trouble General Yan Xing to help take care of one or two!"
Before coming, Liu He explained that everything must be obeyed by Jincheng's side, and it is best to make a sincere appearance to ask for help, so that Han Sui can be told to relax his vigilance during the meeting.
Sure enough, when Yan Xing heard that Ma Dai explained that Ma Teng had only brought more than 100 people to the meeting tomorrow, he thought that he had finally completed Han Sui's arrangement without offending Ma Teng.
In fact, in Yan Xing's heart, he still admired Ma Teng, and this admiration even surpassed that of his lord Han Sui.
It's just that Ma Teng and Han Sui have always been suppressed by Dong Zhuo's forces, so they did not occupy more territory in Liangzhou, otherwise Yan Xing might have made some deals with Ma Teng in private.
Because Yan Xing had long been jealous of Longxi County and Wudu County, and he always felt that his ability was stronger than Han Sui.
Since he has the ability and the soldiers, why do he have to follow a master who is not as good as himself?
It's easy to be self-reliant, but accepting Han Sui's anger is not something Yan Xing can bear. After all, his strength is not comparable to Han Sui's.
Therefore, if Yan Xing wanted to come out and work alone as soon as possible, and did not want to agitate Han Sui and be attacked by him, he had to find an ally to hold Han Sui hostage.
The only person who could become his ally in Xiliang was Ma Teng, and now that Dong Zhuo was destroyed, the Zhenxi Army was tired again, and it was the best time for him to stand on his own.
This is also the reason why he has only met Ma Dai twice, so he is very polite to him.
Of course, what Yan Xing thought was all taken for granted. The fatigue of the Zhenxi Army was simply spread by Liu He to paralyze the Xiliang warlords.
And the Ma Teng family had already served him, so Yan Xing's plan to form an alliance and become independent was doomed to fail from the very beginning.
While drinking, the two had a strong conversation, and while talking, Ma Dai deliberately turned the topic to ideals and aspirations.
Yan Xing was only in his twenties, and it was the discussion of the passionate youth that really made Ma Dai hear some deep meanings. …
"I think Yan Xing is approaching his thirties, but I haven't done much. I've been loyal to Jincheng, but I haven't gotten more in return!"
Yan Xing rubbed his head drunkenly, but Ma Dai pretended to be puzzled and asked, "General Yan Xing's status in Jincheng County can be said to be under one person, why is he so unhappy?
"Hehe, is it really a status under one person? What my brother saw and heard was just superficial..." Yan Xing seemed to be drunk, but he was still very measured in his words.
It's just that Ma Dai was more confused when he heard the ambiguity, and asked again: "Is General Yan Xing unhappy in Jincheng? If there is a problem, but it doesn't matter, I can ask my uncle for help!"
"Uncle has repeatedly mentioned in front of me that you are the most capable generals in Jincheng! He also told me to get closer to the generals!
Yan Xing did not expect that Ma Teng would rate him so highly, and thought to himself, should he take the opportunity to reveal some of his thoughts to Ma Dai and bring Ma Teng to know that?
After thinking for a moment, Yan Xing said: "I have nothing to be unhappy about in Jincheng County, but I have been more worried about things in Longxi County and Wudu County recently."5
"The two counties are so rich, but the people are displaced by incompetent officials, bandits and robbers are rampant! I want to send troops to quell the rebellion, but I can't get the permission of the superiors, so...
This time, Ma Dai was even more puzzled, "I remember that the general's 1.8 hometown is Jincheng County, why is he suddenly so concerned about the affairs of those two counties?"
Yan Xing laughed, he had long thought that Ma Dai would ask this question, so he pretended to be embarrassed.
"Because my mother is from Longxi, you also know that I am a filial person. I once presented General Han Sui for the sake of my mother's family, begging him to send troops to attack the two counties of Longxi and Wudu, but in the end they were all rejected. trouble!
Yan Xing also said that there are more than 5,000 people in his own part, but the food and grass materials are not enough, otherwise he would not ask Han Sui for help.
Ask for flowers!! Ask for tickets!!!! Ask for custom!!!!!.
