When Ma Wan heard that the general had sent an envoy over, he hesitated again in his heart, not knowing whether he should meet the envoy from Guanzhong.

Unlike Yang Qiu, horse play rarely has fierce ambitions. Although he is not the kind of ambitious person, he is not willing to let go of his good foundation and become a nobody.

He also knew that there were a lot of fierce generals under Wen Zhao's command, and although Ma Yu had some talents, he would not be confident, and he could overwhelm the rest of the generals in Guanzhong and be reused by Chen Xu.

It was with these in mind that Ma Wan wanted to ally with Han Sui and others to resist the Guanzhong Army together.

After walking back and forth in the house for a while, Ma Yu asked, "Who did the general send?" ”

Left and right replied: "That person claimed to be Yang Ding, Liangzhou, and the words were renovated. ”

Ma Yu was suddenly startled in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Could it be Yang Ding, who is as famous as Hu Wencai?" If this is the case, I cannot avoid it. ”

After finishing speaking, Ma Yu tidied up his clothes and went to meet Yang Ding.

Yang Ding stayed in the main hall, quietly waiting for the arrival of the horse play. Ma Play is different from Yang Qiu, in order to avoid suspicion, Yang Ding only brought fifty people to meet Ma Play this time.

This time, Yang Ding did not pretend to be mysterious, and directly revealed the identity of his envoy. Because before that, Yang Ding had no friendship with Ma Play at all.

Yang Dingzheng was thinking about how to convince the horse to play, when he heard a rush of footsteps. He turned around and found a large man walking towards him.

Ma Play is burly and looks like an authentic martial artist. Maybe it's because of his good looks that he can dominate in Liangzhou, where the people are fierce.

However, if someone underestimates the horse and thinks that he has no scheming, he will suffer a big loss.

Seeing Yang Ding, Ma Yu smiled heartily and said loudly: "I have heard the name of renovation, and I hate myself for not having a chance to meet." When I saw the renovation today, I realized that Your Excellency is really as heroic as the legend says. ”

Yang Ding hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The name of the general resounded throughout Liangzhou, and I have been famous for a long time. When I saw it today, I realized that there was no vanity under the fame. ”

The two praised each other, and Ma Yu suddenly asked, "I don't know what happened to the renovation this time?" ”

Yang Ding's expression was upright, and he said: "The general is now with an axe, and he is not far from the end of the day." I came here this time to save the general's life! ”

When the soldiers behind Ma Yu heard this, they immediately became furious, pulled out the sword in his waist and reprimanded angrily: "My lord has been so good to receive you, but you dare to speak falsely, it is really hateful." ”

After finishing speaking, the pro-soldier who played with the horse wanted to step forward and kill Yang Ding. Yang Ding was not afraid at all, with his hands behind his back, standing proudly.

"Hugh is rude!"

Seeing that the sharp blade in the hand of the pro-soldier was about to stab Yang Ding's body, Ma Yu scolded him. When the soldiers heard this, they resentfully accepted the weapons in their hands.

Rao was like this, he still stood aside, looking at Yang Ding with fierce eyes.

The face of the horse is not very good-looking, after all, no one wants to be cursed. His face sank like water, and he said to Yang Ding: "The renovation is laughing, although a certain is not talented, he also has more than 10,000 soldiers, and he is dominant, how can he talk about the approaching limit?" ”

Yang Ding chuckled twice and said slowly: "If the general allies with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and tries in vain to resist the imperial court soldiers with eggs and stones, the day of death is not far away. ”

Before asking to see Ma To, Yang Ding had already heard that Ma Teng and Han Sui had sent envoys to visit, so he hurriedly asked to see Ma To.

Ma Yu sneered twice and said: "The renovation is not good, although the generals and horses are numerous, the princes of Liangzhou will not be much worse than him." ”

"What's more, the soldiers of Xiliang are brave and good at fighting, if the general tries to conquer Liangzhou by force, isn't he afraid of capsizing in the gutter?"

"I respect the renovation of Liangzhou heroes, so I treat each other with courtesy. If the renovation insists on acting as a lobbyist for the general, please forgive Ma for being unreasonable. ”

After speaking, Ma played with his hand on the hilt of the sword, and his face showed a fierce look.

Yang Ding watched the changes in the horse play with interest, still looking unhurried. He stretched and asked, "I'm a guest from afar, won't the general prepare a banquet for me and drink it?" ”

When Ma Wan heard Yang Ding's words, he immediately turned his anger into joy, stepped forward and grabbed Yang Ding's arm and said, "Let's go, we will not get drunk today!" ”

During the banquet, after the horse play was interested, Yang Ding kept persuading the horse play to surrender to Chen Xu. also told Ma Qiu what he had to say.

Yang Ding could see that Ma Yu was also a little moved after hearing those words. He was the same as Yang Qiu's original worries, and he was afraid that he would not be reused, so he didn't think about surrendering Chen Xu.

If Chen Xu really appoints them to manage Liangzhou after pacifying Liangzhou, it will also be a good way out for horse play. After all, although he is a prince, he does not have the ambition and courage to dominate the world.

However, Yang Qiu was related to Yang Ding, so he was able to trust Yang Ding and defected to Chen Xu without hesitation. Ma Yu still had some doubts in his heart, not knowing whether Yang Ding's promise would be fulfilled by Chen Xu in the future.

Yang Ding continued to persuade: "My lord with a division of 100,000 tigers and wolves is determined to sweep away the entire Liangzhou, if the general insists on resisting the heavenly soldiers, won't he cause trouble for himself?" ”

What's more, Ma Teng's father and son bravely crowned Liangzhou, and Han Sui's wolf ambition is well known to everyone. They are now holding each other back, so they didn't do anything to the general. ”

"In the future, when they have their hands freed, how can they let the general continue to stay in Liangzhou?"

"My lord Chen Wenzhao, there is the ambition of Qingping and the four seas, if the general can defect to my lord at this time, he will not be able to worship the marquis in the future, please think twice!"

Ma Yu's heart moved, pretending to be drunk and said: "Renovation, today I won't talk about state affairs, not about state affairs." Drink, drink! ”

Yang Ding said for a night, but he didn't get a definite reply. After returning to the inn, he couldn't help but have an anxious look on his face.

But he said that Ma Yu pretended to be drunk, and after sending Yang Ding away, his blurry eyes returned to clarity again.

He returned to the house and said to himself: "Yang Ding's words are not bad, Ma Teng and Han Sui are all tigers and wolves. Even if they can be allied for a while, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not fight each other in the future. ”

"Although I have some power in Liangzhou, it is difficult to compete with the two of them. If conflict does break out in the future, what should we do? ”

The horse walked back and forth in the house, thinking about it for half an hour, but still not having a clue.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he secretly thought: "If Chen Wenzhao can really let me be stationed in Liangzhou, it is not impossible to defect to him now." ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. ”

Horse play is not unfounded, Liangzhou is the rear of Guanzhong. Even if Chen Xu defeated Liangzhou, he would definitely send his henchmen to garrison here.

If Ma Play doesn't continue to stay in Liangzhou, according to his talent, his status in Chen Xu's army will only get lower and lower in the future. It is with these in mind that horse play is a little hesitant.

All night, Ma Yu kept tossing and turning in bed, but he couldn't sleep.

Yang Ding couldn't sleep like Ma Dong, and he thought that if he couldn't strengthen Ma Dong's mind as soon as possible and make him surrender, it was likely that other things would happen.

Before he sent the envoy, he swore to Chen Xu that it would be easy to persuade the rest of the Xiliang princes to surrender. If you can't do it, you will inevitably leave a bad impression.

Thinking of this, Yang Ding put on his clothes and got up, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He called one of his own soldiers, and asked the man to secretly wake up the rest of the soldiers, and gather them all together.

The soldiers were still a little sleepy-eyed, yawning and standing crookedly.

When Yang Ding saw everyone's appearance, he immediately frowned and said, "We are all going to die without a place to be buried, do you still want to sleep?" ”

When the soldiers suddenly heard Yang Ding's words, they were all shocked and said, "Please also ask the general to speak clearly!" ”

These people were all Yang Ding's personal soldiers in the past, and after he surrendered to Chen Xu, he still retained some subordinates. This time he went out to play with horses, and Yang Ding brought a full fifty people over.

Yang Ding made a silent gesture, beckoned everyone to gather around, and said to them: "I met Ma Play today, and I learned that he wanted to unite with Han Sui and Ma Teng to fight against the lord. ”

"If Ma Play really allied with Ma Teng and the others, we would all be envoys sent by the Lord, and we would definitely be killed by Ma Wan and sacrifice the flag."

All fifty people had a look of panic on their faces.

One of them said, "In that case, let's run away at night." ”

The man's words were echoed by everyone, and for a time everyone said that they would take advantage of the darkness to escape from the place.

Yang Ding's face sank, and he said sharply: "Now that the city gate is closed, how can we get out of the city?" If you wait until dawn, it's impossible to sneak away! ”

"What a good thing this is!"

"So what should I do?"

……

Soldiers, every word you say to me is like an ant on a hot pot.

Yang Ding saw that the fire had arrived, pressed his hands in the void, and only after everyone was quiet did he say: "I only ask you, do you want to die, or do you want to live?" ”

Without the slightest hesitation, even if they all whispered, "I want to live!" ”

Yang Ding showed a smile on his face, beckoned everyone to come over, and said, "If you want to live, you can only do this, so." ”

After listening to Yang Ding's words, fifty people showed a hesitant look on their faces, and they didn't know if this plan would work.

Yang Ding drew his sword in his hand and said, "For the sake of today, I can only act like this." As long as you follow my strategy and complete the task, you will be able to force the horse to surrender to the lord. ”

"If we surrender, we can not only save our lives, but also make great contributions. On the contrary, if we hesitate at this time, we will all die tomorrow and have no place to bury! ”

The soldiers' faces changed when they heard this, and they finally said: "We are willing to act according to the general's words!" ”

After making a decision, Yang Ding asked all the soldiers to put on black clothes and black pants, and prepare weapons, dry firewood, tung oil, and fire.

Since there were no such things in the inn, they also broke into several people's homes, tied them all up, and looted the supplies.
