"Lord, the young master has already defeated the Bandless Rogue, and is now on his way back." In the Chencang camp, Ma Teng sat in the main hall, his brows furrowed. And this report made Ma Teng's face rise with a hint of joy, but also a trace of doubt.

"If Chao'er really only led the torture cavalry battalion, he really caught up with those rogues and returned with a big victory?"

"Yes! Not only that, but the young master also rescued the captured people. Now, the entire Chen Cang knows the prestige of the major general......" The herald's face was even more joyful, and he hurriedly explained the situation.

'How amazing is the stirrup?' Does it really not only make the rider more endurance galloping, but also greatly increase his combat ability? Ma Teng already believed his own son's words a little at this time, however, this news was a little too difficult to digest. Therefore, Ma Teng still asked cautiously: "Then where is Chao'er at this time?" ”

"The young master has passed Fufeng County, and he should return tomorrow." The herald replied, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The main thing is that the young master has taken in the more than 1,000 Qiang captives, so the return itinerary is a little slower. ”

"Co-optation?" Ma Teng's brows couldn't help frowning again: he knew his son too well, Ma Chao had been very assertive and arrogant since he was a child, and he was even more respectful and powerful in his actions to kill Liwei. And this time, he didn't slaughter the prisoners as usual......

"Tomorrow Chao'er will return, let him come to see me immediately." Ma Teng is also a generation of heroes, and immediately made a correct decision on this matter.

"No!" The herald retreated, and before leaving, he still saw Ma Teng's puzzlement.

In fact, Ma Teng has been worried and depressed lately. There is no other reason, the main reason is that Ma Teng is now in a very confused stage: today's Ma Teng, with the continuous bloody fighting, has already run a force that is not small. The turbulent times are fickle, and the situation in Xiliang is turbulent, and Ma Teng at this time is in a difficult transition period.

Ma Teng, the ancestor is the general of Han Fubo, Ma Yuan. His father once served as a captain of Tianshui Lan, and later lost his official position and stayed in Longxi, married a Qiang girl, and gave birth to Ma Teng. When Ma Teng was young and poor, he had no property, and he often cut timber from Zhangshan and carried it to the city to sell it to support himself. And it was this young experience that made Ma Teng accustomed to the warmth and coldness of the world, and also raised a trace of ambition to change his fate.

When Ma Teng grew up, he was more than eight feet long, with a large physique, a majestic face and nose, but a virtuous and gentle personality, coupled with martial arts, people in the surrounding counties admired him very much.

In the fourth year of Zhongping (187 AD), Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng contempt was appointed as a traitor, which led to the rebellion of the Didao kingdom and ethnic minorities such as Di and Qiang, and the prefecture and county recruited warriors to crusade against the rebellion. Ma Teng enlisted, was valued by state and county officials, appointed as a military officer, commanded the troops, and later made meritorious contributions to the battle, and was promoted to military commander. If this goes well, Ma Teng may be able to win a career with martial arts and dominance. It's a pity that Ma Teng was born in troubled times!

Geng despised this person, mediocre and happy, Geng despised Ma Teng's power and was difficult to control, so he indulged in the small official Cheng Qiu's profiteering, Ma Teng was honest and virtuous, and he was oppressive, and the two repeatedly clashed. After Li Xiangru, the Taishou of Longxi, and Huang Yan, the Taishou of Jiuquan, rebelled and made peace with Han Sui of the Tieqiang Alliance, Ma Teng finally took advantage of the situation and defected to Han Sui with his subordinates.

Soon, Geng was killed by his subordinates, and Han Sui and others elected the kingdom as the commander-in-chief, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and made a rebellion in Sanfu. In other words, Ma Teng has since embarked on a road of rebellion without return.

Ma Teng never thought that he could go long on the road of rebellion, because at that time, although Ma Teng had ambitions and honed his abilities in the fight, he had no chance of revenge. After the kingdom besieged Chencang, Emperor Ling sent the left general Huangfu Song to supervise the former general Dong Zhuo with 20,000 people each to refuse. After more than 80 days of the kingdom's siege of Chencang, the city was firmly held and could not be pulled out. Huangfu Song marched into attack on it, making Dong Zhuo refuse to do so, and even broke the kingdom and beheaded more than 10,000 people.

After this battle, Han Sui had no choice but to abolish the kingdom, robbed the old Xindu Ling, and the famous scholar of Hanyang, Yan Zhong, to make him supervise the ministry. However, his loyalty was threatened by the public, and he soon died of illness. As soon as Yan Zhong died, the rebels were suddenly leaderless, and Ma Teng, who was gradually emerging to the fore, finally saw the opportunity for himself to settle down and show his ambitions, and did his best to gather many remnants of the rebels, and fought against Han Sui one after another.

It was at this time that Ma Teng finally began to lead the army alone, and began to move forward in the troubled times as a thief who was not recognized by the times.

However, Han Sui was the leader of the Tieqiang Alliance after all, and he had the support of Qiang Hu and others behind him. Although Ma Teng has the ability, he is only working hard. If this is the case, Ma Teng is walking on thin ice, and he is always worried about the future.

But at this time, Ma Chao, the son who has always been proud of him, suddenly became weird and abnormal!

Ma Teng only remembered that it was more than half a month ago, and Ma Chao looked abnormal when he woke up. Not only did he say something like 'crossing to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, don't mix it up, I'm sorry for the predecessors who crossed it...', but also swaggered around with some weird things. Ma Teng was helpless and urgently asked the witch doctor Lang Zhong to come for treatment. A few days later, although Ma Chao has recovered, his words and deeds are very different from before.

Ma Teng didn't want to worry too much, but Ma Chao was his son after all, and even the hope of Xiliang in the future. But when Ma Teng saw Ma Chao again, he found that his son had hired hundreds of blacksmiths to make 'stirrups' day and night!

Ma Teng was angry at the moment and reprimanded Ma Chao sharply, but Ma Chao actually said that this thing could make it easier for the cavalry to maintain their physical strength on the horse, gallop for a long time, stabilize the center of gravity, and enhance the cavalry's horse combat ability. Ma Teng was furious and was about to punish Ma Chao, but just as the order came to report, the Qiang Gang raided, plundered countless people, and took hundreds of hostages to the north.

Ma Teng wanted to lead his troops to attack, but Ma Chao asked Ying to fight. Ma Teng laughed angrily, but he also had the intention of asking Ma Chao to make up for his mistakes, so he immediately agreed to Ma Chao's request. But Ma Chao actually put forward a request that he only need to lead the criminal cavalry battalion to attack!

You must know that no general has ever dared to command the criminal cavalry battalion. And his son, who was only fifteen years old, actually said that he could completely lead the cavalry camp, and demanded that after the victory in this battle, the people in the cavalry camp would be separated from slavery and completely assigned to him to command independently......

Ma Teng was furious at the time, but when he saw Ma Chao's determined and resolute eyes, he agreed like a ghost. Even, the only remaining more than 2,000 sets of standard armor weapons in the treasury were distributed to the torture cavalry battalion. After calming down, Ma Tengshen regretted his rash decision and hurriedly sent 5,000 cavalry to rescue Ma Chao. I never thought that in just two days, the news of Ma Chao's victory came!

Ma Teng never doubted Ma Chao's bravery and dominating ability, and what surprised him was that Ma Chao actually won a big victory this time, not a tragic victory! You must know that the Qiang tribe has always been the tribe that can conquer and fight among the Qiang people, and although there are only more than 2,000 horsemen who came to invade the territory this time, they are also the elite of the Qiang Tribe. In Ma Teng's view, even if he can win this time, it will only be a miserable victory. After all, Ma Chao led the torture cavalry camp!

Could it be that Ma Chao, who woke up, really realized any miracles?

Could it be that the returning Ma Chao did bring hope for Xiliang's future?

Should he also let his brocade eagle come to spread his wings and soar on his own confused road?
