In the next few days, Ma Teng and Han Sui took the opportunity of a military meeting to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Zhang Ji many times, eating and drinking.

After several times, Ma Teng and Han Sui set a date for the move, called Zhang Ji over to drink again, and asked Zhang Ji to bring his nephew Zhang Xiu to drink together.

Then he suddenly made a move during the banquet, killed Zhang Xiu, and captured Zhang Ji alive.

"Why do you !! me like this?"

Zhang Ji roared with despair on his face.

"The reason why we became traitors is because you hurt you, if you don't hand you over to Guo Zifeng, Guo Zifeng will want us to bury you!"

Han Sui looked at Zhang Ji viciously: "Give you to Guo Zifeng, all of us can live!" ”

Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately launched a surprise attack, and Han Sui surrounded Zhang Ji's mansion, killed all of Zhang Ji's personal soldiers, and then captured all of Zhang Ji's family alive.

And Ma Teng led the army into the defensive area of the soldiers brought by Zhang Ji, collected the weapons of this group of people, and then claimed that Zhang Ji had been captured, Zhang Xiu was dead, and if they wanted to live, they had to follow them honestly, otherwise, they would die now.

Then Ma Teng showed Zhang Xiu's head and made the army collapse.

Without a leader, he can only go with the flow and obey Ma Teng's arrangement.

So Ma Tengbing bloodlessly pacified the old Zhang Ji department that might have rioted.

Then, they began to urgently mobilize, telling everyone to pack their bags, contact Guo Peng for a deal, and prepare to retreat.

As soon as the sixth day of the first month of June, Ma Teng and Han Sui were ready, Han Sui led the team to respond and guard in the rear, and Ma Teng took Ma Chao and Ma Tie's sons to trade with Guo Peng.

In order to ensure the safety and sincerity of both sides, the two sides could only bring escort troops of no more than 100 people, and trade away from their respective base camps, that is, at the halfway point between Chang'an City and Guo Peng's military camp.

Ma Teng escorted Zhang Ji and his family over and pointed it out to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng also escorted Ma Dai and Pang De over and pointed it out to Ma Teng.

Pound did not choose to surrender in the end.

When Guo Peng told him that he was going to negotiate peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui, he gave him a choice, whether to return to Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp, or follow him to fight.

Pound chose to go back.

"The homeland is unforgettable, and I hope the general will be perfect."

Guo Peng didn't embarrass Pound, just patted him on the shoulder.

"Actually, follow me, and you will be able to return to your hometown one day...... Well, since you have chosen so, I won't embarrass you, Ling Ming, so you can do it yourself. ”

Guo Peng chose to let Pang De and Ma Dai go together, and exchanged them for Zhang Ji and his family, as well as a head of Zhang Xiu.

Their whole family was gagged, although Zhang Ji was desperately squirming and struggling, but Guo Peng quickly ordered the tiger guards to send his family, including him, back to the camp, without talking nonsense with him.

The person he wanted to talk to was naturally Ma Teng, not Zhang Ji, a loser.

"I didn't expect that the first time you and I met, it would be such an occasion, General Ma, long admiration."

"Duke Wei is polite, if you want to say that you have admired for a long time, you will still admire the name of Duke Wei for a long time."

Ma Tengpi smiled and hugged his fists and saluted: "The reputation of Duke Wei has already spread to Liangzhou, we can't think about it, this time, I personally learned Duke Wei's use of soldiers, I know that Duke Wei is really powerful, we people in Liangzhou are not Wei Gong's opponents." ”

"Why?"

Guo Peng sighed: "Lone doesn't want to be an enemy of General Ma, and Lone doesn't want to be an enemy of anyone, Lone just hopes that the world will be stable and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, that's all, but why do people always want to start a war and force Lone to fight to the end?" ”

Ma Teng really can't say that Guo Peng is too shameless, but his beautiful words are indeed too shameless.

But in a sense, every time Guo Peng sends troops to fight, he is famous and righteous, and no one can say whether it is wrong or not, so is it wrong for him to say this?

Apparently not.

It's just that Ma Teng, as the party whose interests have been damaged, how can he look at this matter calmly?

Ma Chao is even more so, it is not easy to endure anger, how can you talk about this kind of thing?

Ma Chao actually really wanted to fight Guo Peng and stab Guo Peng to death with a spear to vent his evil anger, but Ma Teng was worried that Ma Chao was impulsive, so he confiscated all of Ma Chao's weapons and didn't let him mess around.

"What Wei Gong said is also true, there are too many people in this world who are restless."

Ma Teng could only echo the smiling face, looking at Ma Teng's embarrassing smiling face, Guo Peng's mood also became a little happy, so he didn't mind sharing some more important military information with Ma Teng.

"General Ma, since we have made peace, we should live in peace after that, and I have to tell you some things in advance."

Guo Peng smiled and said, "Does General Ma know about Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang's conquest of Hanzhong?" ”

"I also know this, Liu Jiyu conquered Hanzhong and called himself the king of Hanzhong in Hanzhong......"

Ma Teng frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Duke Wei, this Liu Jiyu, is it trying to ......?"

"That's right, Lone thinks so, too."

Guo Peng nodded: "The reason why Lone agreed to negotiate peace with you is because Lone knows about this matter, Lone thinks that Liu Jiyu is afraid that he has the intention of becoming the emperor, if he wants to be called the emperor, he will naturally go on the Northern Expedition, and we will continue to fight, and we will lose both sides, and in the end, isn't it still cheap Liu Jiyu?" Maybe Liu Jiyu is waiting for us to lose and lose. ”

Ma Teng was very surprised, and the sons behind him were also surprised.

"This ...... Liu Jiyu wants to go on the Northern Expedition? ”

"Otherwise, how could he claim to be the king of Hanzhong?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao was the king in Hanzhong, repaired the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, and secretly crossed Chencang, so as to enter Guanzhong, defeat Sanqin, and occupy Guanzhong, so as to have the qualification to compete with Xiang Yu for hegemony, Liu Jiyu probably also wants to take this road again."

As for whether he will take the Chencang Road, Lone is not clear, maybe he will also take the Qishan Road, or the Baochuan Road, or the Meridian Valley, no matter what, he will go on a northern expedition, although it is likely that he is coming to Lone, but it is not easy to say.

General Ma, marching from Shuzhong, Qishan Road is the widest, the road is relatively the best, Meridian Valley is the closest to Chang'an, but the road is the most difficult to walk, you say, will Liu Jiyu march from Qishan Road, or from Meridian Valley? ”

Ma Teng frowned, and his sons looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

There are more than a dozen warlord forces large and small in the land of Liangzhou, and the alliance between Ma Teng and Han Sui is the most powerful and the most famous.

If Liu Zhang marched north from Qishan Road and arrived in Liangzhou, he would inevitably clash with Ma Teng Han Sui's forces.

Just finished this battle, the strength was exhausted, Ma Teng and Han Sui were exhausted, wouldn't it be bad if Liu Zhang chose to enter the army at this time?

And this matter can't be assumed that Liu Zhang doesn't go from Qishan Road, in case he really leaves, out of Qishan and directly takes Hanyang County, it will be a disaster.
