Gu Yi said,"
"My lord, Ma Teng has always claimed to be the descendant of General Fubo, Ma Yuan.”
"But other than himself, no one took this matter seriously.”
"In that case,"
"Why don't we use the name of the Imperial Court to acknowledge him as the descendant of Ma Yuan?”
"At the same time, confer him the title of West Garrison General!”
Hearing this.
The other three people in the main hall all revealed incredulous expressions.
Old Dong looked at Gu Yi with concern and even touched his forehead.
He seemed to be thinking about whether his future grandson-in-law was suffering from a serious illness that made his head burn.
Looking at the expressions of the three of them.
Gu Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry.
In Old Dong's eyes, Ma Teng and Han Sui were out-and-out traitors.
Wouldn't it be a waste to give such a rebel the position of West Garrison General?
However, Gu Yi did not think so.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were not as strong as Old Dong.
However, behind them, there were many small vassals in the Kansai region who relied on each other.
Squeezing together, assembling a hundred thousand troops was not a problem.
In history, when Cao Cao conquered Kansai, he faced these small vassals.
If it wasn't for Jia Xu's suggestion of wiping Han Sui's books.
Against the allied army, Cao Cao might not be able to win easily.
And now.
Old Dong's forces were strong.
However, there were also many problems that needed to be faced.
If they lost too many troops in the matter of conquering Liangzhou.
Dong Zhuo's army would also be in turmoil because of this.
Thus, he would conserve his troops if he could.
The plan that Gu Yi proposed was actually a revised version of Han Sui's plan!
It could be called "Ma Teng of the Official Rankings"!
Among the three of them, Jia Xu was the first to react to the profound intention of this plan!
He slapped his thigh and praised,
"Wonderful!"
"If Ma Teng was only given the position of West Garrison General, he would definitely think that there was a trick.”
"However, in the name of the imperial court, acknowledging his identity as a descendant of the Ma Yuan is equivalent to giving him true sincerity!”
"In this way, even if Ma Teng is unwilling to hand over his military power, he will not dare to openly oppose the Prime Minister.”
"After all, if he continues to oppose the Prime Minister, he will be able to do so.”
"It means that he has given up his identity as the descendant of Ma Yuan and has instead confirmed the fact that he is a traitor.”
"In addition, Han Sui and the other vassals of Kansai will definitely be extremely anxious when they learn that Ma Teng is being treated so well by the Prime Minister!”
"They will think that Ma Teng betrayed them!”
"Both sides will attack each other because of this.”
"At that time, Lord Prime Minister will send troops to recover Liangzhou. It can be said to be twice the result with half the effort!”
After hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo also instantly reacted.
In the Han Dynasty, where filial piety ruled the country, reputation was undoubtedly very important.
Who was General Fubo Ma Yuan?
That was a famous general of the Han Dynasty!
Ma Teng had always claimed to be Ma Yuan's descendant, but he had never been recognized by the imperial court.
This meant that his identity as a descendant of Ma Yuan was not exactly a good one.
However, once he was officially recognized by the imperial court, his identity as Ma Yuan's descendant would instantly bring Ma Teng a huge boost in fame!
Especially in Liangzhou.
Ma Yuan could almost be called the idol of the entire Liangzhou Province!
In the same era, there were many such things.
Sun Jian had always been known as Sun Wu's descendant.
Every time Kong Rong put on an act, he would use the title of Confucius '20th grandson.
No matter where Liu Bei went, he had to hold on tightly to his identity as the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan.
With an awesome ancestor, even if he did not do anything, his net worth would automatically increase by a lot.
Not having official certification and having official certification were two completely different concepts.
In history, the first time Liu Bei was called " Uncle Liu " was after Cao Cao destroyed Lu Bu.
Liu Bei followed Cao Cao into Xuchang, and his status as a relative of the Han clan and an imperial uncle of the Han clan was officially verified by Emperor Liu Xie.
From then on, Liu Bei's reputation had increased by more than ten times!
Gradually, he received the support of the Jing State aristocratic family group and the Yi State aristocratic family group, and finally established the Shu Han regime.
Before that, even though Liu Bei was once the herdsman of Xu Prefecture.
No one from the aristocratic families was willing to pay attention to him.
This was a very clear and profound contrast!
With official certification, everything would be justified.
Without an official certification, it was just self-satisfaction. It was just lust.
And now.
In the face of the "official certification" given by Old Dong, could Ma Teng resist this temptation?
Obviously not!
After receiving the official certification of " General Fubo's descendant of Ma Yuan ".
Ma Teng would instantly become like a fish in water in that small piece of land in Liangzhou.
And if he didn't accept it…
That was equivalent to admitting that he had the same identity as Han Sui, and that he was an out-and-out traitor!
Then, after Ma Teng accepted this official certification, would he become too big for his own good?
Of course not.
Because once this news spread to Liangzhou, Han Sui and the others would definitely be on pins and needles!
With the nature of these guys.
The next step would be a civil war!
Raise an army to crusade against Ma Teng who betrayed the "rebel class"!
……
P.S. To all the handsome men, besides Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai, there is also Ma Yunlu, the little sister of the Ma family. (Crazy hint)
