"The solution is simple, and that is to do what you like. Since the incident of the Fei family, the king has favored the Xia family even more than before. The subordinates thought that the eldest prince could give another beauty to the king, but this beauty needed to be virtuous and virtuous and able to advise the king. First, you can divide the king's favor with the Xia family, second, let him persuade the king, and third, it can alleviate the misunderstanding between the prince and the king. ”

Ma Chao never thought that Yao Chong would actually want to find another beauty for Ma Teng, there was originally a Xia family, which gave Ma Chao a headache, and he wanted another one, but Ma Chao was a hundred unwilling.

"Yao Gong is not joking, right? Not only do you not get rid of that scourge, but you also want me to send another one? Super resolutely disagree! ”

Yao Chong smiled and said earnestly: "Don't be rash, there are differences between people and people, and women are the same." I have received a righteous daughter before, named the eldest grandson Wuji, this person is familiar with poetry and books, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also all knowledgeable, usually very obedient, the most important thing is that this woman is quite knowledgeable, knows how to advance and retreat. As long as the eldest prince gives her to the king, then she will inevitably advise the king when the time comes, and a woman's pillow talk is sometimes more useful than what people like you and me say. ”

Seeing Yao Chong's very serious appearance, Ma Chao still frowned with some suspicion, and Pang De on the side also echoed at this time: "The eldest prince does not need to hesitate, Yao Gong has always been loyal to the king, and will never do anything unfavorable to the king, and the last general also thinks that this plan is very good!" ”

Even though Ma Chao was a little rude to Ma Teng before, deep down in his heart, he still didn't want the relationship between the two to be so stiff, and his gift of beauty to Ma Teng was indeed an opportunity to ease the contradiction between the two, and Ma Chao finally agreed.

This strategy was not what Yao Chong thought of at first, but he just came in and heard Pang De's words. Yao Chong didn't know if the eldest grandson Wujian agreed to such a marriage, after all, it was not a good thing to let her marry someone who was so much older than him.

After Yao Chong finished talking to the eldest grandson Wujian, the eldest grandson Wujian just lowered his head and thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said: "My daughter is fortunate to be adopted by my father-in-law, whatever my father-in-law says, my daughter will not have an opinion, since it is for the sake of the king, then I will definitely do my best to persuade the king." ”

Yao Chong knew that she was very sensible and knowledgeable, so even if the eldest grandson didn't like it in his heart, he wouldn't show it.

"In that case, then ......"

At this moment, suddenly there was a strange sound next to him, Yao Chong's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Who is it?" ”

At this time, I saw a "squeak" sound coming from the beam of the house, Yao Chong couldn't help but smile and said: "It turned out to be a mouse, it seems that you have to raise a cat!" ”

The next day, Yao Chong brought the eldest grandson Wujian to Ma Chao's mansion. When Ma Chao saw the innocent appearance of the eldest grandson, he couldn't help but be surprised: he was born so beautiful, but why did he have a cold look on his face?

However, Ma Chao didn't ask in detail, so he began to clean up, let the eldest grandson Wujian get into the carriage, and went straight to Ma Teng's mansion.

Ma Chao asked people to inform Ma Teng, saying that he was here to ask for guilt, and after about an hour, Ma Teng let Ma Chao in.

"Meng Qi, what are you doing today?" At this time, Ma Teng was obviously still angry.

Ma Chao stepped forward and said: "Father, yesterday's incident was a child's impulse, and when he went back and thought about it again, he felt guilty, so today I came to ask for sin, and at the same time offered a beautiful woman, and I hope that my father will laugh!" ”

Hearing this, I saw Ma Teng's face change, and he stood up, "Meng Qi!" Who came up with this idea for you? ”

Ma Chao didn't expect Ma Teng to react like this, and hurriedly replied: "This is the child's own filial piety, and no one else has any advice!" ”

Ma Teng didn't believe Ma Chao's words at all, "Hmph, I don't know you yet?" You won't have that in mind! What are your intentions in offering beauty to this king now? ”

Ma Chao had no choice but to quickly explain: "The child just thinks that his father likes beauties, so he specially chose a filial piety to his father, and there is no other meaning!" ”

"This king already has five or six beauties, where do you want so much? What's more, this king is old, and he can't be blessed with these beauties, so you better go back! In addition, the matter of attacking and merging the state will be left to your brother-in-law to do, during this time, you have worked hard outside the expedition, so take a good rest for a while! ”

Ma Teng's words made Ma Chao inexplicable, he really didn't know how Yao Chong's idea offended Ma Teng, not only did he not get Ma Teng's forgiveness, but he also gave away his military power in disguise.

"Father!!

Ma Chao was very unwilling, but Ma Teng didn't say anything, turned around and left. The rest of Ma Chao still stood in place with a confused expression, not knowing what was going on.

After Ma Chao went, he did not return to the house, but rushed directly to Yao Chong's house with the eldest grandson, along the way, the eldest grandson Wujian was also very strange, found an opportunity, opened the curtain, and asked softly: "Why did the son send me back?" Could it be that the king can't look down on the concubine? ”

Ma Chao didn't speak, because he didn't know what was going on, and Ma Teng hadn't even looked at the eldest grandson.

Yingbu received a new order, asking him to take the complete cavalry to Chang'an and wait for Gao Xianzhi's dispatch, while Shi Dakai and Luo Cheng, who were originally facing off against Yang Yanzhao's brothers on the front line, were also ordered by Gao Xianzhi to let Luo Cheng lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, and also return to Chang'an, and join Gao Xianzhi's army, preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Bingzhou.

By the time the soldiers and horses were assembled, there were already 40,000 troops under Gao Xianzhi's command at this time, and he asked Wei Ran to lead 10,000 troops to garrison Chang'an, and at the same time be ready to respond at any time. And he led Luo Cheng, Yingbu and other fierce generals to march directly to the upper county of Bingzhou.

Today's annexed state, in addition to Taiyuan, there are thousands of soldiers and horses left behind by senior cadres, and Shangjun is basically in an undefended situation, with only about 1,000 county soldiers, facing Gao Xianzhi's 30,000 army, there is no resistance at all.

And Gao Xianzhi chose to send troops from Shangjun, naturally because of this situation - Li Jing's army contained most of Liu Xiu's soldiers and horses, so he could easily attack the city and plunder the land.

Gao Xianzhi's dispatch of troops didn't take long to reach Liu Bei's ears - Liu Bei didn't understand what was going on at all.

"What is Ma Teng doing this reckless man? At this time, I dare to only think about this little bit of interest in front of me, which is really a mouse's eye! ”

Liu Bei and everyone under his command didn't know what was going on, and Ma Teng's sudden backlash made Liu Bei, who was already in a critical situation, even worse.
