Chapter 1298 The Dream Match of Beauties From Three Countries
As long as the plan is right, the enemy can also be used by me.
Camille said: "Team Bai, what is your next plan? Do you want to seize Xiliang? I have an idea, you might as well listen to it."
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Please tell me."
Camille said:
"You and Ma Yunlu are about the same age, and Miss Ma Yunlu is Ma Teng's favorite girl and Ma Chao's beloved sister.
"If you can marry Ma Yunlu, then you will have an in-law with the Xiliang army; when the time comes, you will assign Ma Chao to attack other separatist warlords, and any territory you win will be yours. If you lose, you will take the opportunity to take over Xiliang!"
Camille's big eyes flickered: "How is it? Is this idea a good one? I've been thinking about it for a long time."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "As Yuan Xi, I already have a wife Zhen Mi. The financial support of the Zhen family is very important and cannot be given up; while the Ma family may not be willing to let their daughter stay low."
Camille said strangely: "You ancient Chinese men, can you have three wives and four concubines? Since there are three wives, why can't Ma Yunlu be an equal wife?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said:
"You only know one thing about the culture of ancient China, and you don't know the other. "Spring and Autumn" has a saying, 'The princes have no two concubines'. Even the princes of the emperor cannot marry two wives. The system of multiple concubines.
"The so-called 'three wives' is just a joke made by the monarch of Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period when he was hesitant when he became an empress, which was recorded by the historian. As for the system of 'equal wives', it was only in the Qing Dynasty. "
Camille nodded suddenly, shrugged and said, "It's a pity, Ma Yunlu really likes you."
"Is there such a thing?" Bai Xiaowen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I, Han Qi's cut-in identity, and Ma Yunlu are best friends, the kind who talk about everything,"
Camille said with a smile,
"Ma Yunlu has also reached the marriageable age. Ma Teng once wanted to match her, but Ma Yunlu felt that there is no man in the world who can match her brother Ma Chao; if he wants to marry, he must marry someone who is not inferior to her brother.
Indomitable heroes.
"You broke Xudu, welcomed back the emperor, and later destroyed Cao Cao, and your power shocked the world; you are only in your twenties and thirties, comparable to Ma Chao, isn't it a good match that all beauties of the Three Kingdoms dream of? Especially Ma Yunlu who is determined to marry To the ignorant maiden of the hero."
Bai Xiaowen was a little embarrassed: "Unexpectedly, I am quite popular."
Camille: "Of course. In fact, you are the big Sima now, with all the power in the world. Even if Ma Yunlu is a concubine, it seems to be okay."
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand: "Let's discuss this matter again, and discuss it again."
Then Bai Xiaowen learned about the Xiliang Army's intelligence. With Camille as a high-ranking insider, the strength of the Xiliang Army can really be seen at a glance.
According to the information on Yuan Shao's desk at the time, Ma Teng in Xiliang claimed to have "100,000 elite cavalry", but in fact there were only 5,000 cavalry; there were also 15,000 elite infantry, a total of 20,000 main troops, and the rest were auxiliary soldiers.
Counting Han Sui's army, the main force of the Xiliang Army has no more than 40,000 elite soldiers; counting the auxiliary soldiers, there are only about 100,000 troops.
But there is one thing, Ma Chao is extremely prestigious among the Qiang people, and the Qiang people in Xiliang are also quite powerful. According to Camille's estimate, Ma Chao can recruit more than 30,000 Qiang troops to join the battle at most, which is definitely a force that should not be underestimated.
As for generals, it is worth noting Ma Chao, Ma Teng, and Ma Dai; there is also a lord-level fierce general, Pound, who is also under Ma Teng's command at this time.
The rest of Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, etc., are ordinary generals at the leader level.
Under Han Sui's command, there are many named military generals, but there is not a rare leader-level general.
Bai Xiaowen asked: "Is there a general named Yan Xing under Han Sui's command?"
Camille shook her head: "No. Why do you ask this? Is this person very powerful?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "Your husband-in-law after cutting into the identity is Yan Xing. This person has never appeared in the novel, but he is quite powerful in other historical records. He once fought against the young Ma Chao and almost killed him."
Camille opened her eyes wide: "When I go back, I will pay more attention to it. Maybe it is a talent buried in the countryside."
"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. This person doesn't have a high popularity rate, and I'm afraid he is at most a rare leader and general." Bai Xiaowen said.
The corner of Camille's mouth twitched: "Dear Sima, the rare generals at the leader level are nothing to you anymore?"
Bai Xiaowen quickly shook his head and denied: "Of course not, I am still eager for talents. If Miss Han Qi can help me recruit Yan Xing, I will be rewarded!"
...
After Camille left, Bai Xiaowen soon saw Ge Xuan again.
"Master Dao, how is Ma Teng's injury?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
This kind of curse injury still needs to be dealt with by professionals.
Ge Xuan asked, "Who injured him?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "It is said that it is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong."
Ge Xuandao: "Tianshi Daoshijun? This is strange."
Bai Xiaowen asked why. Ge Xuan said: "The curse practiced by General Ma Teng is called 'Heaven and Earth Return Curse'. It is inevitable that people will damage their longevity."
Bai Xiaowen asked, "Why does the Taoist priest find it strange?"
Ge Xuandao: "Pindao once traveled to Hanzhong and met Zhang Lu once. This person is quite benevolent, not like a vicious and decisive person, would he really use this kind of method that hurts both sides?"
Bai Xiaowen frowned and thought carefully, but because of the lack of information, there were too many possible solutions, and it was impossible to draw the conclusion that was closest to the facts.
Bai Xiaowen stopped thinking about it, and asked instead: "Can the Taoist make a diagnosis and cure? Are you willing to take action? If there is any difficulty, you may as well speak up, I will never force it."
Ge Xuan smiled. Bai Xiaowen is already the great Sima, with power all over the world, yet he still respects him a lot. Even though Ge Xuan is a cultivator and looks down on fame and fortune, he was also moved by Bai Xiaowen's attitude.
Ge Xuan said: "General Ma Teng's curse injury is not difficult to cure. You just need to collect herbs, refine a potion of elixir to exorcise evil and avoid disasters, and take care of it slowly. It is not difficult to heal. But..."
Bai Xiaowen looked at Ge Xuan: [Uncle Ge, can you finish speaking in one breath? 】
Ge Xuan said slowly: "However, if the caster tries again, the treatment may fail."
Bai Xiaowen nodded to express his understanding: "Then is the Taoist priest willing to save him?"
Ge Xuandao: "Using Taoism to harm people is in itself against the way of heaven. Saving people with a poor way is a merit and virtue. If it is within our power, how can there be no reason not to save people?"
Bai Xiaowen said with great joy: "Since this is the case, I still have one person here who can help the Taoist priest."
