In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion
Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Gu Yi, and Jia Xu sat around the table.
The reason why he called Jia Xu over.
It was because the main topic of today's meeting was to discuss how to deal with Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the other rebels who occupied Liangzhou.
Jia Xu and Han Sui were old friends.
Both sides knew each other very well.
In history, Jia Xu also made use of this point.
During the Battle of Tongguan, he had used the strategy of wiping Han Sui's book to help Cao Cao defeat the 100,000-strong Guanxi allied army!
After deciding on the plan to move the capital to Chang 'an.
Dong Zhuo needed a stable rear.
Liangzhou naturally needed to be cleansed again.
Looking at the map on the table, Li Ru spoke first,"
"Ever since our army entered the capital, large areas of Liangzhou have been occupied by Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the others.”
"When the Guandong rebels formed an alliance, Ma Teng and Han Sui also secretly colluded with these people.”
"However, before the Ma and Han bandits could respond, the rebels in the east of the country were defeated.”
"Although these two thieves did not openly oppose the Imperial Court, they were still very cautious.”
"But what they did was even worse than the rebels in the east of the country!”
"No matter what, Liangzhou needs to be recovered.”
"We should also think of a way to get rid of Ma Teng and Han Sui!”
As the chief butler of the Western Liang Army, Li Ru was usually more worried than Old Dong, the lord.
Ma Teng and Han Sui had raised the rebel flag in Liangzhou many times a few years ago.
At that time, Emperor Liu Hong, General He Jin, and the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court were still alive.
Ma Teng and Han Sui had dared to raise rebel forces many times.
From this, it could be seen that these two people's ambitions were not small.
But ambition was ambition.
However, it was another matter when it came to actual practice.
The rebel army that they had raised had been exterminated twice by Dong Zhuo himself.
Later on, he was so scared that he even fled to the Qiang and Di tribes to seek refuge.
It was only when Dong Zhuo left Liangzhou with the Western Liang Army that Ma Teng and Han Sui dared to attack the city again.
The spirit of being soft-spoken and afraid of being hard-spoken was vividly reflected in these two.
In history, after Dong Zhuo's death, Mateng and Han Sui led troops to attack Chang 'an.
In the end, facing Li Jue and Guo Si, neither of them could win.
Instead, he fled back to Liangzhou.
After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao at Guandu, Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately began to get close to Cao Cao.
Nominally, they expressed their willingness to submit to the Han Dynasty under Cao Cao's leadership.
In fact, they were still secretly making small moves.
On the eve of the Battle of Red Cliff.
Perhaps it was because he was old.
It could also be that the military power in his hands had been taken over by his eldest son, Ma Chao, and he could no longer survive in Liangzhou.
Ma Teng had actually accepted Cao Cao's invitation to be an official.
Go to Xuchang and take up the position of Wei Wei, one of the nine ministers!
But later, Ma Chao and Han Sui raised an army in Kansai, and Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao.
(PS: The setting of the Romance was that Ma Teng died first, and Ma Chao avenged his father. According to the official history, Ma Chao raised an army and Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao.）
(For the sake of the subsequent plot, this plot in the book is set in official history. I'm telling you in advance that you shouldn't scold me again.)）
It could be said that Ma Teng and Han Sui were both big shots.
However, after spending his entire life in Liangzhou, he could only be limited to that small piece of land in Liangzhou.
Compared to Dong Zhuo and Cao Sunliu, it was really not worth mentioning.
However…
Now, Old Dong was going to recover Liangzhou.
Ma Teng and Han Sui naturally couldn't avoid the topic.
After listening to Li Ru's analysis, Jia Xu, who usually did not speak much, said,"
"Based on my understanding of Han Sui, he would never be willing to hand over his military power.”
What did not handing over military power mean?
It meant that they were still watching and thinking of rebelling again for independence!
To the border dukes, military power was more important than anything else.
It was the foundation of one's life.
But what Old Dong wanted was a stable rear.
It was impossible to allow Han Sui to continue holding military power.
To put it bluntly.
Han Sui did not have many options.
Otherwise, he could surrender obediently and become a rich man, or he could even get a good official position in the imperial court.
If he worked hard, it was not impossible for the nine ministers.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were unwilling to hand over their military power to the death, they would eventually be defeated and die.
Based on the current situation and Jia Xu's understanding of old acquaintances.
Han Sui would most likely choose the second option.
At this point, Old Dong sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Ma Teng and Han Sui ran faster than a loach.”
"We didn't manage to catch these two the previous few times.”
"This time, no matter what, we can't let these two escape.”
In terms of fighting ability, Han Sui and Ma Teng were no match for Dong Zhuo.
However, when it came to escaping, Dong Zhuo was ashamed of himself.
Since Liangzhou was to be included in the territory again, of course, he could not let Mateng and Han Sui have the chance to make a comeback.
To cut the grass, one must remove the roots.
Gu Yi, who had been silent for a long time.
Under everyone's discussion.
At this moment, he suddenly understood something.
Perhaps.
If he wanted to get rid of Ma Teng and Han Sui…
Compared to war, there was a faster and more convenient method!
