Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

Sun Quan couldn't help but feel irritated when he saw Zhang Zhao acting like an elder and minister in front of him.

There is even murderous intention!

Because Zhang Zhao saw through Sun Quan’s intentions, there was no guarantee that the truth of the matter would not be made public!

Once that happens, Sun Quan will lose all the people's hearts in Jiangdong and the whole world!

However, Sun Quan restrained this impulse after all.

During this period, Sun Quan killed too many people openly and secretly, but the ones he killed were all those from the Jiangdong family at both ends, all to maintain his rule.

If Zhang Zhao is killed, it will undoubtedly cause confusion among the old officials of Soochow, and in turn shake Sun Quan's rule.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao coldly and said,"Mr. Zibu, you can call him sick.

From now on, Guhui will send someone to take care of him."

After Sun Quan's cold words fell, Zhang Zhao's eyes trembled.

I understood what Sun Quan meant.

Let him declare his illness, and he will not go to court, go out, or see guests!

Isolated from the outside world from now on!

Moreover, Sun Quan would send people to monitor Zhang Zhao to prevent Zhang Zhao from communicating with others secretly...

This was because he felt that Zhang Zhao was blocking the way and wanted to put him under house arrest...

Looking at the young new master of Jiangdong in front of him, Zhang Zhao was heartbroken. A sigh.

The name Sun Quan is quite appropriate. At such a young age, he is very proficient in the art of maneuvering and controlling people.

It's a pity that he has only power and no principles...

He is far behind Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu, who can not only play tricks and tactics, but also maintain his reputation of benevolence and righteousness in front of the world!

"Lord, I have one last thing to say!

The magician uses Tao!

If you have the Tao but no skills, you can still win people's hearts and be able to protect your country.

If you have skills but no principles, your family will be destroyed!"

Zhang Zhao left his last words of advice and left.

Sun Quan's eyes suddenly twitched:"How dare you mock Gu for being an unprincipled master? Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Zhang Zhao only left Sun Quan with his back, and waved his hands to Sun Quan in a cool and lonely manner:"If your lord wants to kill me, I will wait at home.

If the lord wants to put me under house arrest, he will not take any action. From now on, I will declare myself ill, seal the door of my house with loess, and thank guests behind closed doors!"

Looking at Zhang Zhao's retreating back, Sun Quan finally held back and did not issue the stupid order to kill Zhang Zhao.

He just sent a few close guards around him to station in Zhang Zhao's mansion to monitor him.

"snort! Benevolence and righteousness?

If Gu can defeat Cao's army and preserve Jiangdong's foundation, then people in Jiangdong will call Gu a benevolent and righteous king and a wise master who can turn the tide!

Gu Ruo couldn't keep his Jiangdong foundation, so he became a prisoner under the shelter of others.

Then even if it has no name of benevolence and righteousness, what's the use!"

Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his green pupils were filled with coldness...

At the same time, Liangzhou, Hanyang County.

Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son, a little later than Jiangdong, learned the news of the fall of the four states in Hebei.

At this moment , the middle-aged Ma Teng and Ma Chao, who is the same age as Cao Ang, both looked downcast.

Ma Teng, in particular, looked shocked, with a touch of horror!

"In two months, they first defeated Yuan Tan in Liyang, and then Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shang in Yecheng.

With hundreds of thousands surrendered, all four states in Hebei were surrendered!

Cao Ang's power to dominate the world is probably unstoppable! Ma

Teng sighed, with tiredness in his eyes.

Ever since he and the Xiliang princes in Guanzhong sent troops in response to Yuan Shao's alliance last year, but were defeated by Cao's counselor Jia Xu in Guanzhong, Ma Teng has always been worried.

In this Han Dynasty In the era of declining great strife, who is a bloody man and a prince who holds power in one party, who does not have the ambition to compete in the world?

Even if he knows that he cannot conquer the world, it is good to separate one party and become the king of that party in these troubled times..

As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Therefore, if possible, Ma Teng would like to separate this land of Liangzhou and pass it on from generation to generation. , is the king of Liangzhou!

At that time, he responded to Yuan Shao's attack on Cao, not only because he received Yuan Shao's benefits, but also because he saw Cao Ang's general trend, so he wanted to interrupt Cao Ang's power.

However, Ma Teng and the Xiliang princes failed.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Han Sui and other princes were all dead, and Duan Yan surrendered to Cao's army long ago.

Only Ma Teng's family had the power and fled back to Liangzhou with great damage.

But in a way, it was a blessing in disguise.

In the land of Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui were originally fighting against each other, as well as some Qiang forces, the Liangzhou family, and Qu Shuai.

In the battle of Guanzhong, Han Sui died, and his generals Yan Xing and others surrendered to Cao's army.

The rest of Qu who participated The handsome princes also died in that battle.

Therefore, although Ma Teng was defeated with his remaining troops, he had no enemies in Liangzhou!

For more than half a year, Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son, He took control of all the counties in Liangzhou.

He had 100,000 Qiang soldiers from various tribes!

Not long ago, when he learned that Cao Ang was leading his army in the Northern Expedition, Ma Teng also tried to lead Liangzhou soldiers and horses out of Longguan and take advantage of the situation to occupy Guanzhong.

One can Contain the flanks of Cao's army to reduce the pressure on Yuan's family and avoid losing their teeth.

Secondly, if they can capture Guanzhong, they can close Hangu Pass, stick to the land of Weihan, and control Guanzhong and Liangzhou in Liangzhou. In the hands of the Ma family in Zhouzhou.

This is the foundation on which Qin and Han Emperor Gaozu achieved their hegemony!

You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat!

However, Ma Teng was disappointed.

Zhong Yao, the captain of the Sili School, was stationed in Chang'an. He originally had thousands of troops.

Cao Ang arranged for Zhang Xiu, Yan Xing and other generals to lead the more than 40,000 Xiliang new troops who surrendered last year, and joined Zhong Yao's 50,000 troops.

Zhong Yao, Zhang Xiu, and Yan Okay, so with these 50,000 elite troops, they held Guanzhong, allowing Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son to fight for more than ten years, but neither of them took advantage. They failed to break through Guanzhong, so they could only retreat to the border of Liangzhou and stalemate with Zhong Yao...

But Ma Teng was hoping in his heart that the Yuan brothers, Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Sun Quan of Jiangdong and other princes would be able to create a situation where the Cao family would be defeated and the world would return to a situation where the princes stood side by side and were intertwined.

But now he knows that When the Yuan family was defeated and all the four states in Hebei fell into the hands of Cao Ang, Ma Teng (the king) was frightened and disappointed at the same time.

Because Cao Ang had won the four states in Hebei, even if Gongsun Du of Liaodong was left alone, he would not be able to win. The north has been unified.

At that time, they will have enough strength to increase their troops and capture Jiangdong and Jingzhou Gong.

Then there will be Liangzhou and Yizhou!

And Ma Teng and his son can only defend the 100,000 Qiang soldiers who can only fight with the wind. Don’t live in Liangzhou……

"'I want to choose one person to go to Xudu to express my intention to surrender. What do you think?"

Ma Teng spoke slowly, looked at his nephews and generals and said[]

When everyone heard this, many people lowered their heads, obviously agreeing with Ma Teng's words.

Ma Chao, however, was young and energetic, and said with some reluctance:"Father, although Cao Ang won the four states of Hebei, Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Sun Quan of Jiangdong, Liu Cong of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are still there.

With my troops and horses of Liangzhou, we can He is sitting firmly in the four corners of the world, surrounding the Cao family.

Considering the dangers of Liangzhou's mountains and rivers, it is not impossible to hold on, so why surrender?"
