    "What? Jingzhou also sent an envoy to Liangzhou?" In the post house, Du Xi exclaimed and looked at Cheng Yin and the two in surprise.  "Exactly, the Jingzhou envoy has arrived in Xuanwei City now, and maybe he is discussing the alliance with Ma Teng at this time." Cheng Yin said with a bitter smile.  "This" Du Xi looked at Yang Xiu in surprise and uncertainty. Even he was in a daze at this time and didn't know what to do. Jingzhou's actions were really beyond his expectation.  "Zixu doesn't have to be like this. The purpose of the Jingzhou envoy is still unknown at this time. We will inform the lord of the news first, and then the lord will make a decision." Yang Xiu shook his head and said, they are here to stabilize the situation in Liangzhou. If Han  So he took advantage of it, but it was troublesome.  "What the envoy doesn't know is that the Jingzhou envoy passed by Wuwei and knew that the envoy was coming again but did not enter. Instead, he rushed directly to Xuanwei. He clearly wanted to form an alliance with Ma Teng to deal with the lord. Moreover, Ma Teng's army had a large amount of food and grass.  They are all from Jingzhou, I think the envoy should be very clear about this," Li Kan said with a cupped hand.  They came here just to convince the two of them to block Jingzhou. If the two of them retreated, they would be in trouble.  "Of course we know this. I wonder what General Han's plans are?" Du Xi had calmed down at this time and waved his hand and asked.  "My lord does not mean to do anything to the two adults, I just hope that you can convince Cao Sikong. If Jingzhou really participates in this battle, Cao Sikong can send people to temporarily hold back Jingzhou's power, so that the situation in Liangzhou will be much easier.  Of course, if Cao Sikong can lend some food and grass to the lord, then the lord of Liangzhou will definitely not let Ma Teng's conspiracy succeed," Li Kan said with a hand.  "Oh?" Du Xi looked at Li Kan coldly. What Li Kan said was extremely advantageous and asked the lord to hold Jingzhou down. Although Han Sui was at a disadvantage now, he was similar to Ma Teng, so Liangzhou would naturally stabilize.  , but Jingzhou is not that easy to deal with.  Dominating the land of Jingzhou and Yizhou, with a vast territory and strong troops and horses, even they had to be cautious. Moreover, they had just defeated Yuan Shao at this time, and how could they still fight against Jingzhou when their soldiers were exhausted.  The most important thing is, why do they want to hold Jingzhou back for Han Sui?  It is true that they want Liangzhou to be stable, but they cannot sacrifice for others. As long as the situation in Liangzhou can be stabilized, if it cannot be stabilized, they will leave and wait until the army returns in the future to attack and plunder.  Why bother wading into this muddy water now.  "I will tell my lord what General Han means, but please give me a message to General Han. Why should my lord help him?" Du Xi took a deep look at the two of them and said solemnly.  "Ah?" Cheng Yin and Li Kan were also stunned, and then they both cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, envoy, we will make Sikong feel at ease." At this time, the two of them also understood that they wanted Cao Cao to hold Jingzhou for them.  , it won¡¯t work without paying a certain price.  After the two left, Du Xi looked at Yang Xiu solemnly: "Dezu, do you think Jingzhou really came here to form an alliance with Ma Teng?" Cao Cao was bound to win the land of Liangzhou, although he just pretended  It was as if nothing had happened, but I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.  "I'm afraid the reason for coming to Jingzhou is the same as ours." Yang Xiu thought for a while and said.  "You mean they don't want Ma Teng and Han Sui to fight fiercely?" Du Xi said in surprise.  "No, not only do they want the two to fight fiercely, but they also hope that both of them will lose. Jingzhou has just swallowed Yizhou and now it is coveting Liangzhou again. It is really disturbing." Yang Xiu frowned and said, the power of Jingzhou  The development was a bit too fast. It had just been a few months since Yizhou was captured. Even with Liu Zhang's help, it was impossible to control Yizhou at once.  At this time, he is coveting Liangzhou. I really don¡¯t know if Liu Qi is too confident. Isn¡¯t he afraid of civil strife in Yizhou?  "What? Are you saying that Liu Qi is trying to catch Liangzhou's attention again?" Du Xi exclaimed. If Jingzhou gets Liangzhou, it will definitely be huge bad news for them.  Although Cao Cao does not want to become an enemy of Jingzhou at this time, for Jingzhou and even Jiangdong, he wants to firmly suppress their power south of the Yangtze River and not allow them to develop their power north of the Yangtze River.  Now that Jingzhou is coveting Liangzhou, it is clear that it wants to find a foundation in the north and let Jingzhou's power rise to a higher level again.  "The stakes at this moment are so important that we can't make the decision." Du Xi said with a solemn expression. After speaking, he shouted to the door: "Come here." As he said that, he grabbed the pen and ink on the table and started writing quickly.  A letter had been written in a while, and just at this moment a young general stepped in.  Before the young general could speak, Du Xi handed the letter on the table to the visitor: "Send someone to send this letter to the lord as soon as possible."   "No." The young general was shocked, knowing that there might be something shocking in the letter.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Xuanwei City, I rested for a night in the post house, and as soon as I got up the next day, I was led to Ma  In Teng Mansion.  "I wonder why you came to Xuanwei, sir?" Ma Teng had long been curious about Fa Zheng's purpose, and the reason he resisted asking was because he didn't want Jingzhou to take the initiative.  But overnight, not only did the defenders in Wuwei City not move due to the arrival of Fa Zheng, but Cao Cao's envoys came into contact with Han Sui more and more frequently, and they actually met three times in one day.  It made him feel uneasy.  "Haha, I am here to make a deal with the general on the order of my lord." Fazheng said with a cup of his hands, somewhat surprised that Ma Teng asked him to come so early in the morning.  "I wonder what the deal is?" Ma Teng couldn't help but tighten his hands in his robe.  "That's it. My lord wants to form a cavalry, but I don't have any good horses in Jingzhou, so I want to get some horses from the general. Of course, I will never let the general suffer. No matter what kind of request, the general can say  That's it." Fazheng chuckled.  "Oh, are you serious?" Ma Teng said in surprise.  "Of course, but the prices paid for different conditions are naturally different." Fazheng said still smiling.  "I wonder how many horses your lord wants?" He has dominated Jingzhou for many years and naturally attaches great importance to horses. Although there are many horses in Liangzhou, horses are a huge wealth in other places.  "It depends on how much the general wants Jingzhou to pay. If you want to form a decent cavalry, you will need at least 20,000 horses." Fa Zheng said with a smile.  "Twenty thousand horses, which is not much." Ma Teng nodded and said. Most of their soldiers and horses in Liangzhou are cavalry. The vast territory is suitable for herding horses. In peacetime, almost every household can have an old horse.  "My lord has said that as long as the general is willing to pay the price, even if he asks me to send troops to help the general kill Han Sui, I know that the hatred between the general and Han Sui is as deep as the sea. The one who killed Han Sui is  The matter will definitely not be left to me in Jingzhou." Fa Zheng's eyes seemed to be brighter.  "Huh?" After Fazheng finished speaking, Ma Teng was shocked. Although he had a slight upper hand at this time, Han Sui refused to take over Wuwei City. He didn't know how long he would have to wait if he wanted to capture Wuwei.  What's more, Cao Cao's forces are now involved in Liangzhou. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.  "The stakes are very high at this time, sir, please stay for a few days." Ma Teng said with a cup of his hands. Cao Cao would not necessarily intervene in Liangzhou's affairs at this time. If he rashly asked Jingzhou for help, it would actually be an advantage for Jingzhou. "It doesn't matter, when will the general want to  Well, you can come to me at any time, but I hope the general will make a decision soon." He raised his eyes and glanced at Ma Teng, then stood up and left.  The longer it takes, the greater the chance for Cao Cao to get involved in Liangzhou, and the higher the price he can offer. Anyway, Jingzhou doesn¡¯t have anything to worry about.  "Father, why don't you agree to him? As long as we can defeat Han Sui, tens of thousands of war horses are worth it." Ma Chao said doubtfully.  "You don't understand. The war horse matter is of great importance. If Jingzhou gets the war horse, Jingzhou's power will definitely increase suddenly, which will be extremely detrimental to us." Ma Teng shook his head. Although he was not sure what would happen to Jingzhou in the future, he also subconsciously  They don¡¯t want Jingzhou to rise.  "Father is overly worried. The reason why Jingzhou is so eager to build cavalry is just to defend against Cao Cao. Then Cao Cao and Jingzhou can be regarded as life-and-death enemies. Once Cao Cao is free to deal with it, the first one to deal with will be Jingzhou, and there are others in Jingzhou.  I have the remaining strength to intervene in Liangzhou." Ma Chao shook his head and said, Cao Cao is in the north of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce is in the east. They both have grievances with Liu Qi. If there is a slight change, they will definitely attack Jingzhou.  "Let me think about it again and order people to pay close attention to Han Sui, Du Xi and others." Ma Teng shook his head and said.  "It's father." "Brother, are you really planning to go to Jingzhou?" A place in the north of Wancheng  On the small mountain road, dozens of soldiers in ragged clothes walked slowly along the mountain road.  In front of dozens of people, two generals in armor were surrounding this person. It was Liu Bei who was chased out of Jizhou by Yuan Shao.  "Where else can I go if I don't go to Jingzhou? I want to see what this Liu Qi is like. See if he dares to drive me out of Jingzhou." A few months ago, when Feng Ji and others suddenly found him, Liu Bei  He realized something was wrong. He was always cautious in Jizhou and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.  He knew Yuan Shao¡¯s suspicious character very well and alsoKnowing that Yuan Shao would never allow him to take charge of the army, as expected, the soldiers and horses sent by Yuan Shao rushed over in just a quarter of an hour. He thought that he would quickly escape with his men when he saw the opportunity, otherwise he would have lost his head by now.  Got it.  "That Yuan Shao is really a villain, he actually dares to harm the lord like this." Beside Liu Bei, a bearded man said bitterly, his voice was like a bell, with deep hatred.  It was Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's second brother.  "Hey, I just hope that Liu Qi can give me a place to stay for the sake of being a member of the Han clan, so that you don't have to follow me around anymore." Liu Bei sighed.  "Brother, what are you talking about? If Yuan Shao hadn't refused to send reinforcements, my eldest brother would still be the shepherd of a state, and Liu Qi would be nothing more than a child. If he feels embarrassed, I will shoot him to death with one arrow."  He said with an impatient face.  "Second brother, please don't be so reckless. I am here to seek his protection. How can I be rude to him?" Liu Bei shook his head.  "My Lord, Wancheng is ahead." Chen Dao, who was on the other side of Liu Bei, pointed to the road ahead.  Liu Bei raised his eyes and glanced at the city in front of him, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he sighed and walked over with a few people.
