Chapter 960: The Position Between Father and Son
The great drink on the city wall destroyed the withering and decaying.
The soldiers who charged under the city pass only felt that their hearts were in a trance, and they all raised their heads to suppress the pace of rushing forward, and looked up at the gate.
Above the city wall, the golden sunlight shrouded the general who stepped on the wall tiles, white jade and silver scale armor, wearing a lion helmet, majestic, like the appearance of a hero in the story.
"Major General! It's a major general! ”
"Ah, General Shenwei Tian is here!"
The Xiliang army suddenly exploded, because the Qiang and Han people lived together in the Xiliang land, so the Han soldiers called Ma Chao a major general, and the Qiang people were martial and aggressive, they were in awe of Ma Chao's divine power, and they were called General Shenweitian.
Ma Chao's appearance caused a great commotion.
"My son, how are you here?"
Seeing his eldest son, Ma Teng was very happy and shouted with joy.
In recent years, his son has been absent from his side many times and has served in front of the general's tent, but Ma Teng has always been proud of this eldest son.
When he decided to change the route, Ma Teng was still entangled in his heart for a long time, worried that Lu Bu would be angry and cut off his son's head out of anger.
Now seeing that his son is closed, Ma Teng is happy at the same time, but there is also a hint of joy in his heart, because his son has always listened to his own words.
God help me!
Compared with Ma Teng's undisguised joy, Han Sui next to him looked gloomy, he received information from Wang Yun two days ago, saying that Ma Chao was rushing to Xiao Pass, intending to stop the Xiliang army.
That's why Han Sui urged Ma Teng to attack, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
I didn't expect it to arrive so soon.
Ma Chao arrived at Xiaoguan, if he could cooperate with the outside and the inside, it would be a great help; If it was really to deal with the Xiliang army, it would be very bad.
Since the Xiliang Ping rebellion defeated the Kushan Empire, Ma Chao's prestige in the Xiliang army is no less than that of his father Ma Teng, and even surpasses it.
Han Sui didn't rush to speak, and decided to listen to the conversation between the father and son first.
Ma Chao stood on the wall of Guanlou, leaning forward slightly, hearing his father's question, he was immediately annoyed, why did I appear here? It's not because you led the Xiliang army to reroute Guanzhong without authorization!
The Huainan battlefield entered Jiujiang County, and it was about to enter the final stage, and within a few months, the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, who was stubbornly defending Shouchun, would be completely defeated.
But at such a critical juncture, his father Ma Teng suddenly made such a play!
What a great credit, it was given to Xu Huang in vain!
Ma Chao's heart hurts.
As the initiator of this matter, Ma Teng had no idea how much trouble his actions had brought to his son.
"My son, open the city gate, if there is anything, wait for my father to enter the customs, and then explain it slowly." Ma Teng shouted loudly at the end of the gate, wanting his son to open and close the door to save the casualties of the two sides fighting.
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately stared at Ma Chao vigilantly, looking full of vigilance, for fear that he would fight back.
Fortunately, Ma Chao did not disappoint them, and only heard Ma Chao shout twice: "Father, when my son came, he swore in front of the general, if you are obsessed, you will not blame the child for being disobedient, and I will fight you with the sword!" ”
The soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The sound was loud, wafting between heaven and earth.
Seeing that his son was openly disobedient to him, Ma Teng's face suddenly became gloomy, and his tone was displeased: "You really want to do it with me?" ”
"Father, don't force me."
Even if he upset his father, Ma Chao did not back down in the slightest, and was still thinking of a way to make his father turn back.
In front of the soldiers of the two armies, Ma Chao didn't give himself a face as a father, Ma Teng snorted heavily, laughed angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, good, you are really my good son!" ”
Ma Teng was not lightly angry, and Han Sui next to him saw this, touched Ma Teng's elbow lightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Shoucheng, let's withdraw for the time being!" ”
The appearance of Ma Chao obviously had a great impact on the morale of the Xiliang army.
Ma Teng actually didn't want to get into trouble with his son, he was just angry, at this moment, Han Sui gave the steps, and he was naturally willing to borrow the slope to get off the donkey.
So he waved his hand and ordered the troops to be withdrawn for the time being.
Back at the garrison, the soldiers were busy setting up camp, and Ma Teng called Han Sui to discuss.
When it came to Ma Chao, Ma Teng was obviously a little more angry: "This rebel! I don't understand the vision of a father at all, they all say that father and son are connected, but he is facing outsiders! ”
"Brother Shoucheng, don't be angry. It's better to ask Meng Qi's nephew to come out and talk, maybe he can change his mind and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Han Sui appeased Ma Teng, looking like a good person who was a peacemaker.
Ma Teng did not doubt him, and also thought that this method was good, so he immediately called his own soldiers and wrote a letter, ordering him to send it to Xiao Guan's son.
Ma Chao received the letter, in which Ma Teng said that he wanted to see him, and then the father and son calmed down and had a good talk.
Yang Ting objected to this, he felt that this was the deterrence of the Xiliang Army who was afraid of Ma Chao, so he came up with this strategy in order to lure Ma Chao into the net.
Ma Chao is different, he firmly believes in his heart that his father will definitely not harm him.
So, Ma Chao rode across the flying sand, rode out of Xiaoguan alone, and came to the camp of the Xiliang army.
When they came to the camp, whether it was the Han people patrolling outside or the Qiang cavalry stationed inside, after seeing this young general, they all cast reverent eyes and enthusiastically shouted Ma Chao's name.
Seeing that everyone supported him so much, Ma Chao also sighed in his heart. He then dismounted, handed him over to a soldier to take him to feed, and told him to take care of him.
followed the pro-soldiers to lead the way and came to his father's tent, Ma Chao did not make a gift, and immediately opened the tent and entered.
Inside the tent, Ma Teng and Han Sui gestured, as if they were discussing something.
Seeing Ma Chao come in, Ma Teng's heart softened suddenly, almost with some old tears, and shouted: "Meng Qi!" ”
When he shouted, Ma Chao was also in a mood, knelt down on one knee in front of Ma Teng, and called: Father!
The father and son reunited after a long absence, and the excitement can be imagined.
After a salute, the three of them sat down in their tents.
"Father, why do you want to take charge of your own actions and lead your troops to Guanzhong?"
After sitting down, Ma Chao directly questioned his father Ma Teng, and at the same time scolded Han Sui with a little reproach: "And Uncle Han, you, how can you not stop your father from such a big matter!" ”
"My son, this time I entered the customs for my father, not to be an enemy of the general, but to be sent by the edict of the Son of Heaven to go to Guanzhong to stabilize the situation, I really didn't want to tear my face with the general......"
Ma Teng sighed and told his son what he thought.
On one side is the Son of Heaven, on the other side is the benefactor, he is caught in the middle, and he is also very embarrassed!
"That's right, Meng Qi, your father and I are both Hanchen, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die! The general is certainly kind to us, but the truth in this world can be greater than the law of the heavenly king? ”
Han Sui organized a wave of language and behaved extremely aggrieved, as if he was really desperate and had no choice but to enter the customs this time.
Ma Chao didn't care about this, his voice was loud and bright: "Father, I only ask you, has the general treated my Ma family badly over the years?" ”
