Ma Teng was very polite and firmly refused Fa Zheng's request.

When he returned to Liangzhou, Ma Teng no longer felt inferior. He was born in Longxi, and knew the mountains and rivers of Liangzhou, and the tempers of Liangzhou people, especially the Qiang people. His mother was a Qiang people, and he had been with Qiang people since he was a child. The reason why he took the initiative to return to Liangzhou and came to Wudu and Longxi areas was because he was familiar with these things, had friendships with various tribes, and knew how to deal with Qiang people.

The Qiang people do not tell their origins, and even the leader is not passed down from father to son, but based on their strength. Only with strength can they be qualified to speak, but without strength, they can only stay by the side. He can take advantage of the chaos with a civilian because he has strength. His strength not only comes from his personal ability, but also from the support of the Qiang people.

Han Sui received support from the Qiang people because Han Sui was famous and wise. He was able to get support from the Qiang people because he had the blood of the Qiang people, which was equivalent to half of the Qiang people. Moreover, he was willing to share the hardships with the Qiang people and would not treat the Qiang people condescendingly. He was already very annoyed that the Qiang people were slaughtered by Cao Cao for no reason, but he was only concerned about the court and could not take action directly. Now Cao Cao also asked him to persuade the Qiang people to give way, which was ridiculous.

If he surrendered to Cao Cao, can the Qiang people still treat him as their own people in the future?

Ma Teng told Fa Zheng that it is not your own decision to understand the enemy. General Cao killed Qiang women and children as a military merit, which was a real crime of deceiving the emperor. Liangzhou is not only Liangzhou of the Han people, but also Liangzhou of the Qiang people. The emperor fought in the west, and Qiang people were also granted many titles. It is inappropriate to hold on to the idea that Qiang people are enemies. If you force the Qiang people to rebel against the Qiang people, Liangzhou will become chaotic again and affect the imperial court's plan. Can you afford it?

Fa Zheng returned in a bad mood, a little furious and urged Cao Cao to attack Ma Teng. Cao Cao had just been promoted to the position and was a little frivolous, so he looked at Fa Zheng's suggestion and summoned the generals to discuss matters, but was dissuaded by Cao Chun.

Cao Chun said that although Ma Teng had no background, he was born in a corps and was able to reach today. He was not comparable to mediocre generals. Marines and combat were not unfamiliar to him, and his subordinates were also elite. What's more, he was deeply supported by the Qiang people, his troops were far above our army, and he was familiar with the terrain. If a war broke out, we would have no advantage. Besides, Ma Teng had a good relationship with Sun Ce. His personal guards were equipped with the best cavalry armor and had good combat power. It was not easy to defeat him. Take a step back, even if Ma Teng killed Ma Teng, the court would not let the general control Wudu and Longxi. He would guard against the general's tail, but might punish the general in order to appease Ma Chao.

Cao Cao refused to listen. He believed that it was because Ma Teng and Sun Ce that the court would hope to hit Ma Teng. Even if he scolded him verbally, he would have generous compensation in the future. Besides, what foundation does Ma Teng have? How heavy can he have in the court's mind?

Cao Chun's persuasion failed, and Cao Cao ordered the entire army to rush down to argue and attack Ma Teng.

Xiabian is the capital of Wudu County, located in a small river valley in Wudu County. The one leading to Shanglu is a plank road that is narrow and difficult to walk. It is called Yujiao Gorge. Because it is located in the west of the city, it is also called Xixia. Twenty years ago, it was restored by Li Xi, a native of Hanyang. In order to commemorate this incident, Li Xi carved a monument on the cliff on the side of the road, which is the "Song of Xixia", which was later called one of the "Three Songs" of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of the oncoming armored cavalry, Fa Zheng was cold all over.

No wonder Sun Ce could defeat Gongsun Du so quickly and pacify Liaodong. Ma Teng only had two hundred armored cavalry, and one thousand elite cavalry had such amazing impact. How many armored cavalry Sun Ce had, how many elite cavalry, and what kind of impact would it have?

I have long heard that Nanyang's military weapons are famous all over the world and everyone is interested in it, but Fa Zheng has always disagreed. He always feels that the benefits of military weapons are important, but ultimately the wisdom of the people is determined by the victory or defeat. Although Nanyang's military weapons are famous, they are not invincible. As long as they are operated properly, they can not only defeat them, but also be able to supplement the spoils and narrow the gap.
