Chapter 340
Everyone looked at Guo Jia, not understanding what he meant.
Liu Bei was also a bit confused; he had indeed been working a bit hard at home recently, but it was fine!
Guo Jia said seriously,
"Han Sui and Ma Teng became brothers and fought against the imperial court, Li Jue, and others together. With the two of them joining forces and the Qiang people helping, it is naturally very difficult for our army to deal with them."
Jia Xu's eyes also lit up.
"Drive a wedge between them and rule them separately!"
Guo Jia nodded.
"Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, but his mother was a Qiang. His family fell on hard times when he was young, and after hard work, his influence among the Qiang people is very great."
Jia Xu also interjected,
"Ma Teng is still considered loyal, but Han Sui is known as the 'Nine-Bend Yellow River.' He was originally an attendant in Liangzhou, rebelled, killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou, and became the leader himself."
Liu Bei nodded.
"With the two of them joining forces, it is difficult to break them. Dividing them is indeed a good method, but, Fengxiao, what does it have to do with me working hard?"
Guo Jia smiled.
"My lord, that is the key."
He looked around.
"Ma Teng has three sons, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie, all of whom have excellent martial arts skills. He also has a daughter named Ma Yunlu, who has practiced martial arts since childhood. She is peerless among women, extremely beautiful, and has a very high reputation in Liangzhou, and she is not yet married."
Everyone's eyes lit up; then my lord must work hard!
Guo Jia cupped his hands.
"My lord can recommend Ma Teng as the Inspector of Liangzhou and then take Ma Yunlu as a concubine. Han Sui will inevitably be suspicious. My lord can then send people to create conflicts and contradictions between the two, and they will inevitably fight."
"Moreover, Ma Teng and Han Sui are only brothers on the surface; once they have a conflict of interest, they will inevitably fight!"
Liu Bei nodded.
"At that time, I will go and clean up the mess."
Everyone praised him; Guo Jia is indeed full of schemes!
