"Mr. Xun is here, and Ma Teng is in a position to welcome him. I hope he will forgive me."

After leaving the gate, Ma Teng saw Xun You and quickly accused him of his crime.

"Mr. Ma is now the governor of Liangzhou. In this way, Xun You has been killed."

Xun You had a glorious face, but he was still very modest. When he came here, he represented not Emperor Han but Cao Cao. Ma Teng was so nervous that it would be easier to discuss in a while.

"Mr. Xun, please!"

Ma Teng enthusiastically pulled Xun You into the door, and Ma Teng always respected such a talent with great wisdom and strategy.

Because these people can often win thousands of miles away with one word, and are very powerful.

When they entered the living room, the two of them sat down with their host and guest. Xun You directly expressed Cao Cao's appreciation for Ma Teng.

"Haha, Ma Teng is worthy of being able to win such praise from Mr. Cao. Xiliang was not captured by Mr. Ma."

Ma Teng was a little afraid to accept the praise that Xun You forced him to come over.

"Mr. Ma doesn't have to be too humble. Even without the cooperation of the Wuling Army, it would be extremely simple to unify Liangzhou with the Iron Cavalry of Xiliang under his command."

Xun You wanted to make the influence of the Wuling Army very minimal. Once this ecstasy soup is taken, it will be easier to talk about the topic you want to talk about later.

Unfortunately, Ma Teng is not stupid. Although he respects Xun You, he probably guessed Xun You's purpose.

"Mr. Xun came to Xiliang by detour. Please tell me clearly what you say. If you need Ma's service, you must do your best."

Ma Teng said.

The implication is that you don’t talk about anything else, and quickly explain the purpose of the trip. If it is said well, I, Ma Teng, are willing to cooperate. If it is not good, then you can only "do your best".

"Haha, Lord Ma is indeed a cheerful person, quick-witted person, Xun You admires."

Holding up the wine glass, Xun Youyao respected.

"I'm not hiding it to you, Xun You is here to be entrusted by my lord, and I'm here to discuss the joint anti-Wu with you."

"Resist Wu? Resist Lord Wu of Yizhou?"

Ma Teng pretended to be shocked.

"No, Lord Wu sent troops to help Ma defeat Han Sui, and together they suppressed the Qiang, and ensure the peace of the people of Liangzhou. If the Wuling Army had just withdrawn and Ma abandoned his allies, how could he establish trust in others? How could he face the world?"

Ma Teng shook his head into a rattle. It was an attitude, he could not abandon his allies. What he wanted to express was that Yizhou was his allies.

Xun You smiled angry when he heard Ma Teng telling lies with his eyes open.

"Haha, Lord Ma regards Yizhou as an ally, and Wu Shun may not regard the adults as his own. I believe the adults have already known that the Canglang Legion has entered Chang'an. Why should he pretend to behave at this time?"

Xun You's rebuttal soundly.

"Mr. Xun, it's true that the Canglang Legion has entered Chang'an. General Wei Yan's Qinglong Legion has also entered Chang'an. I'm afraid it's Cao Gong and Yuan Shao, not Ma, who need to be guarded against in Yizhou?"

Ma Teng said with a slight smugness. On the surface, it was indeed to facilitate support for Hangu Pass.

"Master Ma, we don't have to go around the corner. Master Zhang Xiong has long judged what Wu Shun's move is. Now Yizhou has natural dangers in Hangu Pass, and he is hiding in Yizhou to develop steadily, and his strength is growing rapidly. If this continues, the future of Liangzhou is worrying."

After Xun You finished analyzing, he sighed. It seemed that he felt it was not worth it for Ma Teng.

Ma Teng worked hard for half his life before he conquered the foundation of Liangzhou, but was coveted by Wu Shun. This was a bit embarrassing. He could not beat him, so he could only choose to obey.

"Can Liangzhou have a future?"

Ma Tengyi has some meaning.

Seeing that Ma Teng finally got enlightened, Xun You was overjoyed.

"Sir, why did the Wuling Army not dare to leave Hangu Pass?"

Xun You asked.

"If you don't leave Hangu Pass, it must be because the Wuling Army is not strong enough to deal with the situation in the Central Plains."

This is Ma Teng's judgment.

"You are right. Once the Wuling Army leaves Hangu Pass, the first thing we have to face is my lord. The second is Liu Biao, and the second is Liu Biao. Wuling Army is strong, so it is not as strong as the three families."

Xun You meant that Wu Shun did not send troops to the Central Plains because the Wuling army was not strong enough to a certain extent. The threat of the alliance of princes cannot be ignored.

The implication is that someone in the Central Plains puts pressure on Wu Shun. Now you, Ma Teng, can join us and cause some trouble for Wu Shun in the northwest.

How could Ma Teng not hear this meaning? It’s just that Ma Teng doesn’t want to understand it.

Liangzhou's current situation is very subtle. The road to the Central Plains has been cut off by Yizhou, so Ma Teng has no choice but to make a random decision.

"Sir, Ma probably knows what you mean. Han Sui was still there at the time. Didn't we jointly attack Wu Shun the previous time, but did not achieve any results?"

The last time the princes formed an alliance to attack Wu Shun, it ended in failure. The princes of the Central Plains did not even break through Hangu Pass. Their Western Liang Iron Cavalry was tortured by the White Tiger Camp.

Now that the Wuling Army is even stronger, Ma Teng really cannot raise his interest in opposing Yizhou.

"Is it possible that the lord is willing to give up Liangzhou?"

Xun You was heartbroken.

"I'm not willing to do so. How about Ma's thought about this?"

In fact, Ma Teng didn't say anything. He was unwilling to do so, but what could he do?

Fighting head-on with Wuling Army? What's the difference between seeking death from yourself?

"Since that's the case, Xun You said goodbye."

Xun You can actually understand Ma Teng’s choice. Liangzhou has almost no way out, and resisting now is a dead end.

No one can help Wu Shun really wants to deal with Ma Teng.

Xun You left, and Ma Teng fell into deep thought again.

Is he willing? I really don't want to!

...

Chengdu, General's Mansion in the West.

Wu Shun received the Liangzhou secret report and felt very comfortable after reading it.

"Old Cao, I just thought of trying to get a shot at this time? It's too late."

Liangzhou is already the flesh that Wu Shun said. Cao Cao wanted to come and rob, but he had lost the opportunity. He forced to rob, and the conflicts aroused. Not only did Wu Shun turn against him, but Yuan Shao, Hebei, would also take the opportunity to move south in a large way.

"Tell Yuan Zhi that he would go to Liangzhou. Discuss the issue of the establishment of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry with Ma Teng."

"Yes, lord!"

Although Qu A didn't understand what Wu Shun meant, it did not prevent him from passing the order. He just wanted to pass these twists and turns to Xu Shu.

"Ma Teng, Ma Teng, you made a wise decision. Don't worry, your Ma family's reputation will definitely surpass General Fu Bo in the future!"

Wu Shun said to himself.

Ma Teng's failure to agree to Xun You surprised Wu Shun and was also very happy. These people from gentry origins often have very high vision.

Ma Teng was also considered a descendant of the general, but at the critical moment, he still did not dare to be hostile to the Wuling Army.

"I will not let you live a good life even if you dare to ruin my good deeds. Lao Cao, wait."

Wu Shun sneered, he had already figured out how to respond to Cao Cao.

If it weren't for Wu Shun's influence, the Battle of Guandu would have started long ago. It was just because Wu Shun occupied Yizhou and Chang'an, which was a huge threat to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Under the noses of the Wuling Army who was ready to go, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not dare to start the battle lightly.

However, the conflict between Yuan and Cao is irreconcilable, and the two will sooner or later decide the winner. If history does not change in the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao will be the final winner.
