Chapter 939 I am the eldest son
Han Sui said this, thought so, and naturally did so.
Han Sui and Ma Teng fell in love and fought each other for many years, and they knew each other too well. Gan Shi thought of it, and Han Sui also thought of it. He immediately sent Yan Xing to Wudu with a gift.
At this time, Ma Teng was next to the Qiang River in Wudu County, joining the Baima Qiang, Ganlang Qiang, Xianling Qiang and other large and small Qiang tribes to discuss the division of the territory of each tribe this year and the resolution of some contradictions.
There is no rule in the world. Although Liangzhou has separated from the court, Liangzhou still has its own order to maintain great peace between various forces.
This order is now the Qiangshui Alliance.
Every year, all the Great Qiang tribes will go to the Qiang River to meet with the Han leaders and find ways to resolve the conflicts between the two sides in a peaceful way.
This two sides are not only suitable for Han and Qiang, Han and Han people, Qiang people and Qiang people.
If the agreement is really not reached, it doesn’t matter. After the alliance, everyone will lead their troops to fight.
Ma Teng and Ma Chao can have extremely high prestige in the Qiang world. Although the Ma family army defeated the Qiang coalition forces who wanted to expand the border several times, it is also because they can convince all parties when dealing with these problems.
With power but not virtue, it is impossible to settle such a complicated Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is so chaotic. On the surface, the only leaders in Liangzhou are Han Sui and Ma Teng, but in fact these two are just the two largest warlords in Liangzhou.
For example, Song Jian, who claimed to be the King of Pinghan in Longxi County, was an old warlord who rebelled in the first year of Zhongping. He had been called kings for ten years.
There is also Huang Yan, who was in charge of Jiuquan County, who was backed by the Qiang people and cut off the Silk Road, and he ate a lot of fat.
These two men also have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.
As for the small warlords or local self-protection forces that occupy two or three cities, they are even more than double digits.
If you add those land kings who only have a hundred people and are rampant in a village pavilion, it will probably be in the three digits.
This is not the case with the Qiang tribes of each tribe.
In short, the chaos in Liangzhou can be said to be the most important of the Han Dynasty. Other states are at the county magistrate level, and this place is at the county magistrate level.
"In June last year, you Ganlang Qiang robbed the twenty horses we were at the foot of Jishi Mountain. We remember this account. You still want us to give up this mountain now. Do you really think our Baima Qiang is afraid that you will not succeed?"
"Those twenty horses ran to us by themselves. This is God's will, not our robbery. You want the horses to go to heaven! But why did we not let us irrigate the fields last October? We share that river!"
"I'm talking about why? At that time, there was little water at that time, and you still wanted to irrigate the fields? Can the animals and people still survive?"
The so-called alliance is not about eating and drinking together, and then singing and dancing, and then making the matter come true.
The two words of negotiation are very interesting. The words talk with words, and the words judge with sword means that only by speaking with a knife can the negotiation be successful.
That's how it is now. A group of Qiang people and Han leaders were arguing with each other. It seemed that they were about to draw their swords and start killing each other.
Ma Teng was also busy and was arbitrator for these forces.
However, Ma Teng also found that something seemed wrong today.
After I said my own judgment in the past, all parties respectfully expressed their agreement.
This time, he felt that both sides were a little skeptical, as if he was suspicious of his military guarantee!
Is it because I can't speak well?
Looking at the busy Ma Teng, Ma Chao yawned boredly.
Unlike Ma Teng, who hopes to convince the other party, Ma Chao always feels that if the other party is not convinced, it must be that his knife is not fast enough, so he can just be beaten!
The bored Ma Chao simply took the excuse of being uncomfortable and walked out of the big tent and prepared to go out to ride a horse and hunt.
"Major General! Major General!"
"Brother! Brother!"
Ma Chao looked back and saw that it was Pang De and Ma Dai, and smiled and said, "What? Are you bored too? Let's go hunting together.
By the way, have new masters appeared in various departments recently? I have been itchy recently. It would be even better if I could fight one!"
"Oh! Major General, come here soon, something big might happen!"
Pang De and Ma Dai pulled Ma Chao to a place where no one was left, and then Ma Dai asked, "Brother, are you going to leave Liangzhou and go to the court?"
What?
"Yes, Major General, if the general really wants to leave, what should everyone in Liangzhou do? We can't just disperse like this, right? Now the hearts of the brothers below are in chaos!
Even if we are asked to join the court, we will tell you in advance what the conditions provided by the court are." Pang De said.
What??
Ma Chao looked black with a black question mark. What are he talking about?
It was finally easy for Ma Chao to figure out what was going on, and then he became Spartan.
Is his father going to be a high-ranking official in the court?
Why don't you know?
Actually, let alone him, Ma Teng doesn’t know yet!
"No, where did you hear these things?"
"What? Brother, you don't know either? Everyone knows it, even the Qiang people know it!"
"How could I not know! A joke! I am the eldest son!!"
Ma Chao hurriedly slapped the fat man in the face and said, "Of course I know, my father and I are discussing that we have not decided whether to accept the imperial edict from the court.
This...yes, you also know that without our Ma family army in Liangzhou, you can't be in chaos!"
"Major General, this is exactly what the last general means. The general wants to give everyone a future, everyone understands it, but now there are rumors everywhere, and it is easy to be uneasy in the army and cause major events!"
Ma Chao nodded mercifully, but he felt suspicious.
Ma Chao and Ma Teng, a father and son, are already somewhat alienated. Although Ma Chao is the eldest son, because he was born to a Qiang girl, Ma Teng used him more like a pioneer general. In comparison, Ma Teng was more like a heir to Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.
At least Ma Teng has much stricter requirements for the cultural courses of Ma Xiu and Ma Tie than Ma Chao.
But even if he had doubts in his heart, Ma Chao did not dare to confront Ma Teng.
This is how many things are. Everyone knows the ones below, but the big leader at the top just doesn’t know it.
Because no one dared to ask him, no one dared to tell him.
For example, did Daoguang, who lived in later generations, eat eggs worth ten taels of silver for the rest of his life?
It can be said that at this moment, except for Ma Teng himself, everyone thinks that Ma Teng is going to Youzhou to become a high-ranking official.
There are even rumors that Ma Teng will be appointed as the General of the Cavalry or the General of the Cavalry when he arrives in Youzhou.
Tsk tsk tsk, Ma Teng himself has never thought of this.
Chapter completed!
