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

"Brother Shoucheng thought that a Xianling Qiang could defeat my Yizhou army?"

It's not that Liu Zhang looks down on the enemy. A mere Qiang tribe can pull up 50,000 to 60,000 people at most, and he is confident that he will be wiped out!

Ma Teng raised his eyebrows slightly, and then chuckled a few times.

"A Qiang tribe naturally has no choice but to take General Wei. What if the five major Qiang tribes unite?"

"Five Great Qiang Clans?"

Liu Zhang also showed a hint of joking, and also looked at Ma Teng with a smile.

Not to mention that Gong Tang and Qiang will not be drawn in by Ma Chao, and Han Qiang has been a neutral party for many years, and there is no reason to be an enemy of him.

Without Ma Teng's previous narration, Liu Zhang might have been frightened by Ma Teng.

But now that they have a preliminary understanding of the internal situation of the Qiang people, naturally they will not be frightened by a few words,

"Brother Shoucheng, don't make jokes! I have been fighting for more than ten years, and I have experienced hundreds of battles. When have I ever been timid before fighting?"

"General Wei, I am not joking!"

Ma Teng's expression changed, and he suddenly became serious.

"If I were to go back to Liangzhou, I'm afraid the five major Qiang people would be purely nonsense, but Ma Chao's going back, it's really hard to say!"

"Brother Shoucheng, this joke is not funny at all..."

Liu Zhang gradually put away his smile, and his expression became serious.

Although Liu Zhang is very grateful to Ma Teng for being willing to tell him about the internal relations in Liangzhou, it does not mean that he can accept Ma Teng scaring him with illusory things.

Especially wanting to use the Qiang people as a threat to force Liu Zhang to stop this kind of thing!

Ma Teng saw Liu Zhang's displeasure, so he could only continue to explain to him.

"General Wei, the Zhou family and Gong Tangqiang will not support me unscrupulously, but Xian Lingqiang will support Ma Chao regardless."

"so what?"

Ma Teng seemed to be talking nonsense. Liu Zhang already knew the relationship between Ling Qiang and Ma Chao very well.

The reason why Ling Qiang and Gong Tang Qiang united was entirely because of Ma Teng and the Zhou family as a bond. Now that Ma Teng is captured, why would Gong Tang Qiang or the Zhou family give Ma Chao face!

"May I ask General Wei, does the Zhou family want General Wei to be in charge of Wuwei, or do they want the Zhou family to completely control Wuwei?"

Ma Teng was taken aback by Liu Zhang's question, even a fool would know that the family would like to control the states and counties by themselves.

But it is not easy to control the state and county, at least you must first be an enemy of Liu Zhang and completely repel the Yizhou army.

If Liu Zhang and the Yizhou army were so vulnerable, how could Zhou's son-in-law Ma Teng be captured? How could the 50,000 Liangzhou cavalry be wiped out?

"Brother Shoucheng, Zhou's appetite is not small, but he must have the courage to open his mouth! Doesn't Zhou know the consequences of being my enemy?"

"Did they look down on Brother Shoucheng, or did they look down on Brother Shoucheng's 50,000 cavalry?"

In Liu Zhang's view, if the Zhou family had a suitable candidate, they would have already been tempted by Ma Teng's position. Why is it that they support Ma Teng so much because there is no suitable candidate?

Even Zhou's best choice, Ma Teng, is not Liu Zhang's opponent. Why do they think they can defeat Liu Zhang.

"General Wei, did he forget about Han Sui?"

"You mean that Ma Chao will unite with Han Sui? Aren't they life and death enemies?"

"Furthermore, since you are still in my hands, can Ma Chao really disregard your life?"

What surprised Liu Zhang the most was that Ma Teng seemed to be sure that Ma Chao would definitely disregard his life and become his enemy.

Ma Chao has this tendency, but he can't be so unfilial now, right?

"Hey, Ma Chao is a relatively simple kid. Under the influence of Balazi and Tudan, he will inevitably lose his mind..."

Ma Teng looked gloomy, and his whole body became listless.

If Ma Teng escaped from Liu Zhang by himself, he would not attack Liu Zhang unscrupulously for the sake of the lives of his relatives.

But Balazi knows it, and Tudan knows it even more!

In particular, the two used their huge power to lure Ma Chao, and there was almost no possibility of missing.

"Even so, only one Ling Qiang will do nothing. If you want to fight against the Yizhou Army, Ma Chao must join forces with Han Sui!"

"Without you in the middle, can Ma Chao and Han Sui coexist peacefully?"

If in a few more years, after Ma Chao's ambitions have swelled completely, Liu Zhang may believe that Ma Chao is willing to let go of his hatred for Han Sui.

As for now, if the two get together, it may immediately lead to internal strife.

Ma Teng glanced at Liu Zhang indifferently, he did not agree with Liu Zhang's idea at all.

"General Wei seems to have underestimated Han Sui too much. As long as he can defeat the Yizhou Army, he can endure what ordinary people cannot bear!"

"Tudan knew that it would be difficult to compete with the Yizhou army relying solely on Xianling Qiang, so he would definitely ask Ma Chao to join forces with Han Sui."

If it is the alliance of the three Qiang people, plus Han Sui's power in Jincheng County, then it cannot be underestimated at all.

But Liu Zhang is still not afraid. If he can defeat Han Sui once, he can defeat him countless times!

"If you can't even take down the three Qiang people, then you don't have to think about clearing up the rebellion and revive the Han Dynasty! Just go back to Yizhou and have a baby!"

Ma Teng glanced at Liu Zhang with admiration, just this kind of arrogance was rare at that time.

"General Wei is so powerful and domineering that I am really impressed! It's just..."

"Just what?"

"General Wei seems to have forgotten the Zhou family and Gong Tangqiang of Wuwei County!"

"Once Ma Chao and Han Sui join forces, it will represent the strength of the three Qiang tribes! Then the Yizhou army will no longer be invincible, especially after the Zhou family and Gongtang Qiang join, the advantage of the Liangzhou coalition army will increase again!"

Liu Zhang clenched his hands slightly, and a trace of solemnity gradually flashed in his eyes.

Four large Qiang tribes, plus Han Sui's Jincheng County, Ma Chao and Zhou's Wuwei County.

It is easy for these forces to pull up an army of 200,000 horses!

If it's okay in normal times, now that the troops under his command are scattered, it's not easy to deal with it.

Just when Liu Zhang felt the pressure, Ma Teng spoke again.

"General Wei, think about it. If Ling Qiang, Gong Tang Qiang, Shaodang Qiang, and Han Qiang all unite to fight against the Yizhou Army, will Bei Qiang choose to stand by?"

"Beiqiang... Hasn't he always been neutral?"

Liu Zhang's attitude is not as tough as before. When Bei Qiang comes in, it will be more than 200,000.

"Beiqiang has not always been neutral. Before, Beiqiang was very active. After the warlord power they relied on died, they became cautious."

"Beiqiang used to have someone to cling to?"

Liu Zhang was stunned. It seems that the situation of the Qiang people in Liangzhou is far more complicated than he imagined!

"Of course! The five major tribes of the Qiang nationality have a large population. Without relying on the strength of warlords or aristocratic families, it is difficult to guarantee the survival of the people under their command."

Liu Zhang suddenly thought of the Yong family in Yizhou County.

Until Liu Zhang pacified Yizhou County, the Nanman clan had to rely on the Yong family for hundreds of years.

From this point of view, the situation in Liangzhou is roughly the same as that in Nanzhong, except that there is only one Yong family in Nanzhong, while Liangzhou has many "Yong families"!

"Brother Shoucheng, is Bei Qiang's attachment to...?"
