Jia Xu is very famous now, no matter how fierce the Guanzhong warlords are, they are afraid of the power of the Cao family and his son, and the power of the court, and they dare not take Jia Xu seriously, let alone do harm to him.
Who is Jia Xu?He himself is from Xiliang, and these Xiliang warlords are fellow villagers, and even know each other, so it is easier to win trust.
The most important point is that Jia Xu has a very high IQ, is eloquent, and is extremely good at using human nature. He is the most suitable lobbyist and has a high success rate.
Cao Ang nodded and said, "Actually, in addition to preventing the south, this move can also encircle the north."
"Yuan Shang is still relatively young, and it is impossible to be his father's opponent. Once he loses to our army, he can only ask for foreign aid. Among them, Gongsun Du and Yuan's family are enemies. The Southern Huns will not do their best to please. There are only Xiliang soldiers stationed in Guanzhong. If this happens, does Wen He know what to do?"
Jia Xu admired him very much. This Cao Ang is simply a clever plan.
Jia Xu heard the words, then bowed his hands and said: "The general guards against the erroneous situation, strategizes, Wen He is very admired, please rest assured, the general, I have great confidence, and will never let the general down!"
After the secret arrangements were made, Jia Xu set off immediately.
Cao Ang really wanted to take Guanzhong back. It was not difficult to deal with a leading warlord like Ma Teng, but it was not so easy to regain Guanzhong and Liangzhou.
Guanzhong and Liangzhou were too chaotic, Xiliang soldiers formed many separatist forces, and foreign tribes, especially the Qiang people, were also rampant, so it was difficult to achieve results only by diplomatic means.
It must be supplemented by military conquest.
But Guanzhong has been a land of four fortresses since ancient times. The main reason why the Great Qin Empire was able to make a fortune and annex the six countries is that the environment in Guanzhong is so good. There are thousands of miles of plains inside, which can be called the land of abundance, and the Qinling Mountains as a barrier outside, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
When the power is lost, the gate of Hangu Pass is closed, and the six countries in Shandong can only stare blankly, and it is almost impossible to enter. .
Cao Ang felt that if he wanted to seize Guanzhong, the best way would be to use a two-pronged approach.
Send Jia Xu to recruit warlords like Ma Teng, and then Cao Ang has to find a way to win Hanzhong.
Because this place in Hanzhong is so important, it is very critical in the next struggle.
It's just that Hanzhong is also very strong, and it's not easy to get in by force.
Cao Ang thought about it, and felt that he could only take some extraordinary measures.
This matter is not in a hurry, first take Hebei down, and then slowly deal with Hanzhong Zhang Lu.
Jia Xu was ordered to come to the Guanzhong area, where the warlords in Guanzhong had a serious phenomenon of dissecting their power. The two most representative armies are: Han Sui Army and Ma Teng Army.
Han Sui and Ma Teng were brothers with different surnames and were very close.
However, due to the contradictions between the parts, they turned against each other and fought for years, and now they have become enemies.
But those two are the ones most worth taking advantage of.
When Jia Xu first started, he gave a generous gift first.
After Han Sui and Ma Teng accepted the gift, they heard that it was from Jia Xu, and they all expressed their welcome and were even more willing to meet.
Han Sui and Ma Teng had great prestige among the Xiliang army.
Han Sui was first famous in Xizhou. He was hijacked by the Qianghu rebels and elected as the leader. He rebelled in the name of punishing eunuchs. Stationing, and supporting troops to separate one side, for nearly 30 years, he is definitely a figure in the Northwest.
Ma Teng is more than eight feet long, with a big body, a strong face and a nose, and is very brave. According to Jia Xu's understanding, Ma Teng treats people virtuously and honestly, and is more respected by the people of Liangzhou and Liangzhou soldiers, so his prestige is not inferior to that of Ling Han Sui.
Compared with the two, Ma Teng was better at controlling, and then Jia Xu was going to start with Ma Teng first.
...
Chapter 229 The problem of headache
If Jia Xu gets Ma Teng's hands, then Han Sui will follow Ma Teng to call for security.
"Wen and you are too polite to do this. I have no shortage of strong generals in Xiliang, but only lack of celebrities like you. You are enough to shine when you come to see me. I didn't expect to send so many gifts. How polite. Oh, that's too polite, hahaha!"
Ma Teng has a full height of 1.9 meters, and he is also tall and thick.
Although he has passed the middle age now, he is still very fierce. At this moment, facing the gift from Jia Xu, he just couldn't put it down and played with it.
This time Jia Xu sent over some very exquisite items, all of which came from the Strange Pavilion.
Most of these things are of great value, which made Ma Teng's heart flutter after seeing it, and his eyes straightened.
Jia Xu didn't care about Ma Teng's words at all, and then said lightly: "The general is joking, these things are just rewards from the general after I took refuge in the general, as long as you want, you can do as much as you want."
Although Ma Teng looks like a big bastard, how could he be really stupid if he was able to fight out from a place with poor mountains and rivers, and then gradually became one of the warlords?
Ma Teng was very clear about Jia Xu's purpose for coming this time, but it was because he was not too sure in his heart.
It is really because it is hard for him to reach today's position.
Moreover, even if he wanted to recruit, none of his subordinates would necessarily agree.
Jia Xu said straight to the point: "There are dozens of armies here in Guanzhong and Liangzhou. Although they are all very strong, such a loose sand can be said to be vulnerable!"
"What General Ma should do now is to see the current situation clearly. I think you can use this opportunity to directly lead your subordinates to become officials in the court. As long as you become an official, you will be prosperous from now on. Wealth is inexhaustible. Enjoy it inexhaustibly, and your children and grandchildren will be protected."
"Prime Minister Cao's pacification of Hebei has become a foregone conclusion. The imperial court will not allow the heroes of Guanzhong to continue to run rampant. Once you get out of Hebei, do you think you have any choice? Now you can be appreciated by the general. There is only one chance like this!"
When Ma Teng heard this, he was shocked.
The current situation is indeed like this, in front of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao is so vulnerable, who would have thought of it?
If you wait until Cao Cao unifies the Central Plains, he will definitely free up his hands to sort out this pass.
And there are many warlords in Guanzhong now, even if they don't submit themselves, others may submit to the court.
In case of missing this opportunity and being completely regarded as rebellious, there is really no room for maneuver.
Jia Xu has a thorough understanding of Ma Teng's heart and the situation.
After all, Ma Teng is different from Sun Ce.
Because this Ma Teng is just a warlord, and that Sun Ce is a prince of one side.
This Ma Teng has no ability to compete for the world, and he doesn't even care about the unification of the Guanzhong land.
People like this don't have much strength, but they can't be underestimated.
Therefore, his concentration is not firm, and his ambition is even less, and he can easily become that wall.
After Jia Xu got it right, he immediately revealed his affection and lured him for profit, and then combined with the current situation, he adopted a series of rhetoric and psychological offensives, and then Ma Teng was quickly persuaded.
"Wen He, there is no need to say more about persuading him to surrender. I, Ma Teng, am very loyal to the imperial court. Now that the general is willing to persuade me, I am naturally grateful. How could I refuse the general's kindness?"
"I, Ma Teng, am very willing to serve as an official in the court, and move all my family and clan to live in Xudu! Wenhe, you will speak well for me in front of the general in the future, brother and me. The happiness of the rest of my life depends entirely on you."
When Jia Xu heard the words, she also directly promised: "No problem, these are small things. If brother is really worried, I will report all your deeds on the Ten Daily when I go back, and make your Ma family famous all over the world." !"
