At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

"Hey!"

Liu Zhang sighed heavily, and Ma Teng's refusal had actually been expected by him.

I'm afraid that no one is willing to fight their own children on the battlefield!

Liu Zhang's depression and helplessness were not due to Ma Teng's refusal to surrender, but to the serious changes in the situation of both sides.

Originally, Liu Zhang came to Ma Teng with the attitude of giving it a try. It would be best if he could surrender, and if he could not surrender, he would be locked up first.

Even if Ma Teng surrendered, Liu Zhang still needs to be on guard against rebellion, and even Ma Teng's cavalry cannot be brought into the battlefield.

According to the previous calculations of Liu Zhang and others, Ma Chao and Han Sui combined the Qiang with a maximum strength of 200,000 troops.

These people have their own thoughts, as long as they withstand the pressure in the early stage, they may not be able to separate them after a long time.

But after Ma Teng's analysis, the relationship in the entire Liangzhou battlefield has completely changed.

Not only was the number of enemy troops inexplicably more than 100,000, but even the relationship seemed unbreakable.

Ma Teng opened his mouth, but finally made no sound.

He was very puzzled by Liu Zhang's reaction, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

In fact, Ma Teng still has some selfish intentions.

It is an undisputed fact that Ma Chao, Han Sui, and the five major Qiang tribes jointly raised 300,000 troops.

Even if Liu Zhang stood still in Ji County, he would be beaten sooner or later.

Ma Teng kept saying that Liu Zhang was not afraid of the Qiang coalition army, but he was not completely sure that Liu Zhang could win the battle, but thought that Liu Zhang had a relatively high chance of winning.

Three hundred thousand troops, what a frightening number?

Han Sui and Ma Chao's Qiang allied forces were able to defeat countless times. They have the capital to lose money, but Liu Zhang can't!

Maybe just one failure is enough to make Liu Zhang and the Yizhou army beyond redemption.

Liu Zhang's 100,000 troops went north to Hanzhong, and Ma Teng had already known the specific deployment of troops.

Wudu County, Longxi County, and even Chencang and other places have been arranged to garrison, and the soldiers and horses that Liu Zhang can use can be imagined.

Especially after this fight between Ma Teng and Liu Zhang, it is estimated that the army beside Liu Zhang is at most about 70,000.

Unless the Yizhou army can defeat four with one, how can they defeat an army of 300,000 troops?

But even so, Ma Teng still believes that Liu Zhang has a better chance of winning the final victory.

Nearly 100,000 cavalry were destroyed in a blink of an eye. This kind of combat power is really scary.

Even if the 300,000 Qiang army and the 100,000 cavalry are fighting head-on, the winner may not be determined in a few days, let alone a complete victory!

Liu Zhang was also very clear about Ma Teng's little thoughts, and he wanted to have both ways.

If Liu Zhang wins, he can take advantage of the trend and join Liu Zhang's command.

Han Sui, Ma Chao, and the Qiang allied forces won. I believe that Liu Zhang can also use his Ma Teng as a price for peace.

If there is no such conversation between the two, this is also the situation that Liu Zhang most wants to see.

After all, Liu Zhang is jealous of Ma Chao and Pang De. Even if Yongliang is finally pacified, he can't kill Ma Teng and form a death feud with the Ma family.

But the situation is different now. There are 300,000 Han and Qiang coalition forces in Jincheng County at any time, and 200,000 Xianbei cavalry may attack Jieting at any time!

Liu Zhang also has a deep understanding of what it means to have both opportunities and risks.

There are more than half a million foreign races, once this battle is won, I am afraid that the five randoms will be in chaos, and at least two Hus will be abolished!

Conversely, the risk is also very high. Once defeated, Liu Zhang will almost be abolished!

Once the 100,000 elites are lost, if they want to pull up a team for the Northern Expedition, I am afraid they will have to wait until the Battle of Chibi...

So Liu Zhang can't give up, he must do everything possible to persuade Ma Teng.

"Brother Shoucheng, if you can't agree to a sentence, I am afraid that millions of soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong and Liangzhou will fall into hell and suffer inhuman torture!"

Liu Zhang's words were not intended to intimidate Ma Teng with righteousness, it was entirely his true feelings.

The 300,000 Qiang-Han coalition forces, let alone whether they can win or not, even if they can win, I am afraid it will not be achieved in a day.

The entire Liangzhou army and civilians are bound to endure the war during this period.

The 200,000 Xianbei army expedition to Yongliang, once blocked in Jieting, will they fight endlessly with the Yizhou army in Jieting?

It is inevitable that the Guanzhong land will suffer!

"General Wei, isn't he serious? Ma Teng is just a defeated general, and now he's even more ignorant of his words and weak in virtue and ability. How can he affect the safety of millions of people?"

"Even if I surrender to General Wei, so what? Is it possible that I can single-handedly destroy 300,000 Qiang people?"

Ma Teng paused, then shook his head helplessly.

"If I really have this kind of talent, how can I become a prisoner of General Wei?"

High risk has high return, so the natural return of low risk is much lower.

If Ma Teng helped Liu Zhang at this time, it would indeed have the effect of sending charcoal in a timely manner, then the benefits obtained after defeating the Qiang army will undoubtedly be much more.

But once the battle is defeated, it will be over. Liangzhou will definitely not be able to stay any longer, and the entire Liangzhou people will regard Ma Teng as a traitor, a villain.

Not to mention how Xian Lingqiang will deal with Ma Teng, I am afraid that the Zhou family will completely sever ties with Ma Teng.

At that time, Ma Teng could only flee back to Yizhou with Liu Zhang, and then died alone.

If you choose not to help each other, no matter who wins in the end, Ma Teng does not have any credit, but he is not at fault either.

Liu Zhang won the victory and took advantage of the situation to help Liu Zhang recover the counties and counties of Yongliang.

Han Sui, Ma Chao and the Qiang allied forces won, at worst he handed over the power to Ma Chao, and lived a carefree life in Wuwei in the future.

Ma Teng's rejection of Liu Zhang's greatest wish was still due to lack of ambition.

Being captured this time, Ma Teng has completely ruined his qualifications for independence, so the next best thing to do is to become a marquis and worship general, and he will also be wiped out.

This kind of life without worrying about food and clothing is really good for Ma Teng now.

"General Wei, you better stop wasting time on me! Ma Teng is a mediocre man, he can't be like General Wei!"

Ma Teng was worried that Liu Zhang was still ruthless, so he hurried to persuade him again, so as not to hurt the friendship between the two of them at the wine table.

At this time, Liu Zhang also understood in his heart that trying to persuade Ma Teng with words is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!

Then he sighed heavily again, full of helplessness.

"Hey! Back then, General Fubo Ma Yuan made great military exploits for the revival of the Han Dynasty. He defeated Longqiang in the west, conquered Jiaozhi in the south, and attacked Wuhuan in the north. He beat the aliens into fear and turned pale!"

"Ma Fubo is old and strong, and the majesty of the horse leather shroud is still unforgettable to me. Unexpectedly, his descendants have completely forgotten the old general's arrogance and ambition, and watched Qianghu, Xianbei and other alien races poisoning our Han people!"

Ma Teng frowned, and his face became displeased.

Liu Zhang said that Qiang Hu is fine, after all, this is a fact that happened in Liangzhou.

But what does Xianbei care about Ma Teng?

Since Helian's death, where has Xianbei invaded Yongliang?

Could it be that Ma Teng was to be blamed for the invasion of Youbing border by the Xianbei?
