Qin Liangyu really didn't understand how his elder brother did it.
Bai Feng hadn't left the tent these few days. How could he have killed Ma Teng?
"Elder Brother, did you really instigate Han Sui to defect?"
Qin Liangyu hesitated for a moment before he asked.
Bai Feng shook his head slightly.
"Han Sui and Ma Teng were sworn brothers. He and the Prime Minister were just fair-weather friends who had some interactions in the early years. How could he have instigated him to defect just like that?"
"Then …"
Qin Liangyu scratched his head. He really couldn't figure out how it was done.
Bai Feng smiled faintly and said,
"Western Liang was in seclusion, but Ma Chao dared to attack alone.
"After Ma Chao was captured, I just took the opportunity to plant some spies in the Western Liang Army.
"As for how Ma Teng died …
"Liangyu, do you know what slow poison is?"
After saying that, Bai Feng took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom.
The medicine in the bottle was colorless and tasteless, but it was highly toxic. Although it wouldn't take effect immediately, it would quietly kill a person after a few days.
This medicine was made by Bai Feng a few days ago.
Medical skills could save people, but they could also kill people!
Bai Feng's medical skills had already reached the peak. He could bring the dead back to life. Killing people without them noticing was still as easy as flipping his hand!
Seeing the medicine bottle in Bai Feng's hand, Qin Liangyu suddenly understood.
If he wanted to seize Western Liang, he had to get rid of Ma Teng.
Ma Teng trusted Han Sui very much, but Ma Chao was different. If Ma Teng's death was blamed on Han Sui, with Ma Chao's character, he would definitely believe the secret report after seeing it.
"Elder Brother, there's still something I don't understand."
Qin Liangyu frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.
Bai Feng raised his eyebrows.
"Tell me about it."
This Qin Liangyu was different from Li Yuanba. Perhaps it was because he was handsome, brave, and smart, but Bai Feng had a good impression of Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu said in a low voice,
"Our 150,000 strong army can definitely attack Western Liang. Although there will be some losses, at most, we will only lose more than half of them."
"Right now, Elder Brother is going through so much trouble. Could it be that you feel sorry for the soldiers?"
"But these plans are too difficult to realize. If Ma Chao was a little smarter, wouldn't he have failed?"
Bai Feng smiled when he heard this.
"My goal was Western Liang. I never intended to use force."
"If we use force to make Xiliang yield, do you think they won't hide their strength and rebel again when we take over Jiangdong and Jingzhou?"
"Moreover, I originally wanted to drive a wedge between Liu Bei and Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the others."
"But Ma Chao dared to attack our army at night with Pang De and Ma Dai alone. His strategy is very good."
"Ma Chao's appearance has saved me a lot of trouble."
After saying this, Bai Feng stretched.
During this period of time, he had been thinking about how to attack Western Liang. Not to mention Qin Liangyu and the Cao and Wei generals, even he himself had not stretched for a long time.
"Ah? I didn't think about that. "
Qin Liangyu blinked and muttered.
At this moment, Xiahou Yuan also came over and said, "I understand.
"I understand what you mean, Sir. But if we keep Ma Chao alive, will he not rebel?"
Bai Feng sneered when he heard this.
"Let me ask you something. If Western Liang is attacked, are you willing to defend it?"
Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened when he heard this.
That's right. If Western Liang is attacked, they would definitely send a general to defend it.
A general stationed in a region would have the same status as a feudal lord. All the generals would fight to become a general.
But Western Liang was different!
Western Liang was poor. He had only been here for a short ten days, but he was already somewhat exhausted. Moreover, Western Liang was bordered by other foreign tribes. There would definitely be constant battles. Who would want to defend this place?
Seeing Xiahou Yuan's expression, Bai Feng understood what he wanted to say. She said indifferently,
He said indifferently, "Why don't we keep Ma Chao and let him guard Western Liang for us?"
"Ma Chao is very familiar with the terrain of Western Liang. Moreover, he has followed Ma Teng to fight the Qiang and other foreign tribes bordering Western Liang. General Miao Cai, do you think there is anyone more suitable than him?"
Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan immediately nodded thoughtfully.
"But even if we don't get rid of Ma Chao, his father's death must be indirectly related to us. Why would he surrender to us?"
Bai Feng smiled but did not say anything.
Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened.
"Could it be that Sir already has a countermeasure?"
Bai Feng smiled mysteriously.
"A hermit naturally has a brilliant plan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard.
"Report! A group of merchants has been discovered not far away. The escort leader is very powerful. He has already injured several of our soldiers. He doesn't look like an ordinary merchant. We suspect that he is a spy from Western Liang! "
The messenger's voice could be heard.
"What? Sir, don't panic. We are willing to fight! "
Xiahou Yuan was instantly enraged and shouted.
Bai Feng frowned slightly.
Escort?
Western Liang was a barren land. The Central Plains also had its abundant products. Why would a merchant appear here?
"What weapon is that person using?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and asked.
The messenger hesitated for a moment and said, "That weapon is strange.
I really don't know. It looks like a spear, but the tip of the spear is shaped like an eagle's claw … "
Hearing this, Bai Feng patted the back of his horse.
Li Cunxiao was here!
Li Cunxiao was good at using two weapons. One was the Bi Yan Chao Tian Hou, and the other was King Yu's Lance.
A weapon like the hou did not appear during the Three Kingdoms period. Of course, the messenger did not recognize it.
According to historical records, the Bi Yan Chao Tian Hou was shaped like an eagle's claw!
"Miaocai, take some men and stand guard here.
If Ma Chao brings soldiers here, do your best to delay him until I arrive! "
After Bai Feng finished speaking, he urged his horse in the direction indicated by the messenger.
Before Xiahou Yuan could react, Bai Feng had already disappeared.
"Sir is really … swift and resolute."
"But what kind of person would make Sir so concerned?"
Xiahou Yuan rubbed his chin and turned to look at Li Yuanba and Qin Liangyu.
The two of them did not say a word. Xiahou Yuan was not very familiar with them, so it was not appropriate for him to speak. He could only guess.
Sir used to be a merchant. Could it be that he knew the escort leader?
At this moment, on a commercial road not far from Bai Feng's military camp.
"Don't take another step forward. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
A person stood in front of a few carriages that were pulling goods. He held the weapon in his hand horizontally and coldly glanced at the soldiers in front of him.
However, none of the soldiers in front of him dared to step forward, including the leader, Xu Huang.
The army of more than two hundred soldiers only had fear for the man in front of them.
The strange weapon in his hand lightly swung, and just the residual force from the swing cut down a tree at the side.
Who would dare to step forward and throw away their lives?
Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard.
