Ma Chao is brave and unparalleled, and in Liangzhou all these years, he has fought with Guan Liang generals and Qiang people, and he has been invincible. In addition to Ma Dai and Pang De, who can get a little attention from him, these three assistants and Liangzhou, basically he is sideways. In his twenties, he was young and vigorous, and at this time he had soldiers and generals in his hands, and his father had the idea of surrendering. How can Ma Chao accept this?

If he doesn't fight, Ma Chao will definitely not be reconciled. Liu Bei was defeated, and his Ma family continued to live in Liangzhou. Liu Bei really has people who are equal to him, so if he continues to work for Liu Bei, it will not be considered an insult to him.

Now it's okay, the son and Lao Tzu have different opinions. Ma Teng was also blinded. He loved this eldest son very much, and felt that he was a heroic and extremely martial ancestor, General Fubo, and Ma Yuan. So he cultivated with his heart and basically put all the hope of the family's future on Ma Chao. Now Ma Chao's prestige in the army depends half on himself, and half on Ma Teng's support. Ma Chao now has the support of many young Zhuang factions in the army. If he is bent on working against himself, the army will be divided. This is not what Ma Teng wants to see.

Ma Teng looked at Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, and then at Ma Dai and Pound. If it is said that the older generation of figures like Ma Teng still have some awe of the imperial court. Ma Dai and Ma Chao, young people who were born in the later period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and have only grown up over the years, do not have a good impression of the imperial court. From birth to growth, they have never felt the majesty of the imperial court. When I was young, I only heard that there was a rebellion here, and there was a rebellion. Whoever is on his own again. During this period, the imperial court could only sit back and watch, and it was not even qualified to be a firefighter. The Han Dynasty was historically supported by Cao Cao at this time, and now it is supported by Liu Bei. You say that with such a court, how can Ma Chao be in awe and loyal? The princes of the Central Plains all ignored the imperial court, and there were a lot of people who wanted to be emperors. Not to mention Liangzhou, which has been chaotic for more than a hundred years.

As a warrior with ambitions and pursuits, Pang De thought about it for a while, but then spoke: "General, it is better to send an advance envoy to ask General Han's opinion." I really can't do it, so I have to meet the soldiers of the imperial court. ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "I just hope that in the future, the general will not blame us." Between the words, he is not very optimistic that he can win.

Everyone understands the meaning of these words, Ma Teng was expressionless when he heard this, but Ma Xiu jumped out: "Ling Ming, why bother to increase the morale of others and destroy your own prestige." In your opinion, will we lose? ”

Pang De said to Ma Xiu: "Zhongmei, I have heard that under the command of the general, Guan, Zhang, Huang and other generals are all enemies. Now there are more Lu Bu and other horsemen to work for it. Today, the general has brought troops from him, and not a single general of Guan, Zhang, Huang, and Lu Zhu has been seen. It can be seen that the self-confidence of the great general. ”

Matthew frowned and said, "Maybe Liu Xuande is too confident." ”

Pang De said solemnly: "Since the general started his army, he has taken everything and is invincible. For everyone who is a soldier in the world. How can they be arrogant? ”

Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll send an envoy to ask Han Wenyu." "The two families have formed an alliance to advance and retreat together, and now Yuan Shang is here. You also have to ask Han Sui's opinion.

When Pound saw Ma Teng speak, he said no more. Ma Teng wrote a letter here and sent someone to Jincheng to look for Han Sui. Ma Chao will go back and forth on the school field. Although he has a family, he is not very good at men and women, and he only works hard every day and is accompanied by soldiers. Yuan Shang was in the guest house, waiting for Ma Teng's message. A servant found out that Ma Chao's speech was different from his father's, and went to tell Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, so he came to find Ma Chao. When you go to the entrance of the school, please see you.

When Ma Chao heard it in the school field, he let people go. After Yuan Shang came in, he saw that on the school field, Ma Chao wore a helmet through the armor, crossed the horse and shook the gun, raiding back and forth, coming and going like the wind. Knock the obstacles on the school field to the ground one by one. Yuan Shang's own strength is not high, but he has seen the heroic posture of the four court pillars in Hebei. The eyesight is still there. Seeing this, I couldn't help but cheer. Suddenly, Ma Chao urged the horse to rush to Yuan Shang, and a vicious wind accompanied by a murderous aura rushed to his face. Yuan Shang stood motionless. Ma Chao said in his heart, but this person is a bold one. So he put away his contempt, turned over and dismounted, and handed over his weapon and his foal to his servants. Then he said: "Xianfu is not resting in the pavilion, why did he come here?" ”

Yuan Shangdao: "If you don't come here, how can you see Meng Qi's heroic style." ”

This was said very comfortably, and Ma Chao laughed. Then he found a place to sit down and said to Yuan Shang: "If you have nothing to do, it is better to talk about the Central Plains, so that I can open my eyes." ”

Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, and the secret way was really right, this Ma Chao was different from Ma Teng, and he had a sharp heart. In this way, if you can strengthen Ma Chao's heart, it will be much easier to move Ma Teng. So he also sat down and told Ma Chao about the Central Plains over the years.

Ma Chao is not ignorant of the Central Plains. It's just that Guan Shan is blocked, and he just knows a rough idea. Where do you understand it in such detail as Yuan Shang said?

Speaking of the defeat of his own army, Yuan Shang hated and said: "If it weren't for Guo Tu's betrayal of the lord to seek glory, betraying the truth in my camp, and Cao Mengde betraying the alliance and not saving it." How could the Father be like this? ”

deduct the black cauldron of the defeat of the boundary bridge to Guo Tu and Cao Cao. and then deduct the defeat of the state to Zhang Yan. If it weren't for the surrender of these people, the surrender of those who sat idly by, how could the state have lost? How could the Boundary Bridge Camp be broken?

Ma Chao only knew that Liu Bei was mighty, leveled and destroyed, and destroyed Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, where did he know so many secret things. Listening to Yuan Shang's hatred, he only took it seriously.

Ma Chao said in his heart, isn't it the same for his own alliance with Han Sui? At that time, they formed an alliance to resist the pressure of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others. Now Guan Liang only has one Li Dao left. Aren't the two families getting closer than before, and the soldiers and horses under their command have also begun to friction? If there is no Guo Tu traitor, Cao Cao betrays the alliance, and the Yuan and Liu families compete, but they don't know when they will drag it out.

Guo Tu, who was thousands of miles away, sat in the mansion, and his back was cold for no reason. didn't know that Yuan Shang had spread his reputation to Liangzhou.

Ma Teng's messenger took Ma Teng's handwritten letter and traveled all the way west to Jincheng. Han Sui himself is a native of Jincheng, he is in Liangzhou, except for the lack of food, he basically doesn't care about places outside Jincheng County. It's just a bucket of business. Back then, he gathered 100,000 people, but later found that with the financial resources of Liangzhou, he really couldn't support so many people. So most of the old and weak were dismissed, leaving only the elite. Now the strength of his soldiers and horses is not declining but rising compared to before.

Li Dao had also sent envoys to lobby him. But he was noncommittal. Back then, Li Wei defeated him and Ma Teng, if he hadn't been familiar with Fan Chou, and if he had moved Fan Chou with words, his life would have been gone. Although he fled back to Liangzhou, he was demoted to a miscellaneous general by Li Dao. If you say that you don't hate in your heart, that's false.

Being able to watch Li Wei get angry in a hurry can make Han Sui happy for a long time. Now Ma Teng's messenger has come again, but Han Sui finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
