Ma Teng smiled and strode up, his image was quite heroic, and he said loudly: "You are guests from afar, please bear with me if Ma is rude." "His voice is a little hoarse, very infectious, enthusiastic, and feels very approachable.

Zhang Lang returned the salute, then straightened his waist and said with a smile: "General Ma is too polite, it is really presumptuous to come to disturb late at night." ”

The smile on Ma Teng's face deepened, his fierce temperament was much more restrained, his eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light, and he laughed: "Your Excellency is really a disaster, you can actually find the hiding place of someone Ma, if it is a person with ulterior motives, I am afraid that it will ...... Hehe......"

Zhang Lang was stunned in his heart, Ma Teng seemed to be rough-looking, like a barbarian, but in fact, he was as careful as a hair, and he was very powerful, so he should be careful step by step.

His face was not shocked, and he said calmly: "General Ma, don't worry, we are friends rather than enemies, and we are here to discuss important matters together." ”

Zhang Lang's words are really reasonable, this time he secretly saw Ma Teng, and he really wanted to form an alliance with him. Although the two forces are one in the south and one in the north, there is a difference of 108,000 miles. However, we should take a long-term view of life, and with Cao Ying's eloquence, it is a matter of time before the north is unified. So when he wants to invade Jiangdong in the south and suppress and eliminate himself, it is inevitable to transfer most of the men and horses in the northern states and counties, so when Cao Ying's army and his Jiangdong people are glued together, he suddenly kills a large number of troops from Xiliang and directly attacks Cao Ying's northern base camp, this benefit is obvious. Not to mention anything else, how did Xu Shu get out during the Battle of Chibi? It was under the pretense of Ma Teng's rebellion rumors, and he led the troops back to Sanguan with the Tibetan tyrant. If Ma Teng really sent troops, although Cao Ying would not fully retreat the army, he would at least transfer back some of the military horses and return to defend Guanzhong.

Ma Teng's smile remained the same, but everyone felt the domineering on his body. He stretched out his hand to lead the way, and said slowly: "So, everyone, please." ”

Zhang Lang first looked around vigilantly, and then also made a hand gesture of invitation, so he was not polite, and walked side by side with Ma Teng.

Dian Wei and Huang Xu will follow Zhang Lang with the Eighteen Eagle Guards, and march quickly on both sides with Ma Teng's personal guards.

After everyone entered the official residence, Ma Teng's men guarding the gate first observed the street to prevent others from following them, and then closed the gate.

Led by a few lantern-wielding guards, a large group of people walked neatly and quietly towards the lobby.

This official residence is very large, built in an antique style, and very magnificent. A group of people walked through the spacious front yard, and the scenery in front of them immediately changed, with rows of side rooms standing side by side, and on one side of the corridor was a pond garden and a rockery fountain, which was somewhat stylish. Many of the hidden corners are equipped with secret sentinels, but this can't escape Zhang Lang's keen intuition, but it is not added to the point.

Soon arrived at the conference hall, where Ma Teng ordered a group of people to wait at the outer gate, and only a few people entered. Seeing this, Zhang Lang only brought Dian Wei and Huang Xu in.

Set up a tea seat for Zhang Lang, the attendant stepped aside, and Dian Wei and Huang Xu stood firmly behind Zhang Lang like guards.

After Ma Teng took a seat, the two eagle eyes opened and closed, like electricity, the momentum was compelling, first carefully looked Zhang Lang up and down, secretly surprised in his heart, and after looking straight for a long time, he squeezed out the words from his mouth and said: "Your Excellency looks dignified, your appearance is subordinate, and you are born with the breath of a strong man, and you are by no means mortal." I also heard that he claimed to be from Jiangdong, could it be Zhang Lang from the six counties of Jiangdong who said that he was Weizhen, General Zhang? ”

Zhang Lang smiled faintly and praised Ma Teng's vision, but still asked rhetorically: "With General Ma's eyesight, you guess carefully." ”

Sure enough, Ma Tenghu's body was shocked, his face was full of surprise, and then praised: "It is rumored that Jiangdong Zhang Lang is brave and courageous, and sure enough, I am not false." With the jade seal of the country, he secretly sneaked into the pass, which was really out of the ordinary, and the people who wanted to get their hands on the jade seal were disappointed. But General Zhang, aren't you afraid that the news will leak out and attract hunting and killing? After speaking, his eyes were staring at Zhang Lang, as if he was counting on Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang had no intention of hiding his identity, and in the tone of his voice just now, there was also a little acquiescence, if Ma Teng was still unsure, it would really be in vain for so many years. However, he still scolded Ma Teng, the old fox, in his heart, who was very caring in the open, but secretly had a threatening tone. Unmoved, he said chicly: "I believe that General Ma will keep a secret, right?" ”

This time, Lun Ma Teng secretly scolded Zhang Lang for being cunning in his heart, but he smiled on his face, and said with a half-truthful smile: "It's hard to say this." ”

Zhang Lang suddenly stood up, his eyes swelled, and Ma Teng looked at each other, and said with no trace of emotion on his face: "General Ma, don't be funny, when you didn't go out of Jiangdong and discussed with the people, Ma Teng, the general of Andi in Yanxi, is a loyal and righteous hero, with tens of thousands of iron armor, and he is a foreign race. ”

As soon as Ma Teng heard Zhang Lang's words, the essence skyrocketed, and the two pairs of domineering eyes were fiercely intertwined, and both sides wanted not to lose to each other in momentum.

Soon, Ma Teng avoided the edge and slowly closed his eyes, his movements were extremely natural, so that people couldn't feel whether he had fallen behind in the battle just now. It's just that he has dispelled the plan to sneak attack and grab the jade seal just now, knowing that the other party is fully prepared and will not give himself a chance. Because the two sentences just now proved that Zhang Lang was shrewd beyond imagination, and it was impossible to bring such an important thing as the jade seal with him to negotiate. Even if he can keep Zhang Lang and all his people, it is difficult to ensure that there are fish that slip through the net outside and can dig up the news of the jade seal; At that time, everyone in the world will know that Zhang Lang was detained by himself, thinking that the jade seal is in his hands, and it will not be good; And he didn't have the courage to be the emperor, not to mention the enmity with the Jiangdong forces, he was afraid that his plan to enter the Guanzhong Sanfu would come to naught again.

However, Ma Teng is not simple in the end, his head turned, and he said: "My Xiliang soldiers and horses, strong and arrogant, strong and strong, how can there be any danger?" ”

Zhang Lang held his hands behind his back, lowered his head and took two steps back and forth, raised his head violently, and said with great confidence and composure: "General Ma, the Xiliang soldiers are strong and strong, fierce and brave, and they have fought against foreign races such as Di and Qiang all year round, and their combat power is super strong, which is an indisputable fact. However, Liangzhou is barren and poor, the environment is harsh, the harvest is scarce, and the foreign race intrudes from time to time, which to a large extent causes the lack of military resources and food. ”

Ma Teng looked at Zhang Lang with a confident look on his face, and secretly shouted in his heart that he was in trouble, and the other party pointed out that Xiliang was also his biggest shortcoming. But I didn't want to lose to Zhang Lang like this, I frowned, and said to each other: "What General Zhang said is not bad, quite insightful, it is precisely because of this that our army is able to go out of Wuwei, make Jincheng as a transit, and settle in Shicheng and Qinchuan places, accumulate grain and grass, and think it is a slow map." ”

Zhang Lang let out a long laugh and said calmly: "General Ma, does that have any effect?" No, why would you lead the army to Yu Chiyang and lead the army to Changping Antou? According to the following estimates, the land of Guanzhong, the granary of the world, and the economic and cultural center of China, when the general wants to borrow grain, he will intervene in Guanzhong, and zhan will have a place. ”

Ma Tengpi didn't smile, his face was cold, and he said lightly: "The general is really extraordinary, and Ma Teng's thoughts are not missing in your heart at all." ”

Zhang Lang nodded, seeing that Ma Teng was still unhurried, he didn't care at all that he broke his thoughts, and his scheming was deeper than expected.

Zhang Lang knelt on the couch again, picked up the tea on the table and tasted it lightly, the mood was not in a hurry or irritation, and the two fell into silence.

"General Ma, in less than three days, the holy car can go to Hongnong, I don't know what you think about this matter?" Half-ringing, Zhang Lang took the lead in breaking the dull situation.

Ma Teng's resolute and rugged face squeezed out a helpless expression and said: "The Han family has come to this, Li Qi and Guo Yan have made chaos in the common people, and Zhang Ji has led 100,000 troops, with ill intentions, Teng and his sworn brother Han Sui have prepared to secretly raise troops, be diligent and righteous to the royal family, and do their best." Helplessly, there is a lack of food, and the army is far away, so I am afraid that I have more than enough strength but not enough strength. ”

Zhang Lang didn't know where this was just his excuse. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and said: "Why should the general worry, it is rumored that General Cao of Yanzhou has sent a general to lead 50,000 troops to Yanjin, and it will not be long before he arrives in Luoyang; General Yuan of Hebei also ordered Quyi to march towards Hanoi, and as long as Gongsun was pacified, he would personally raise a large army to Guanzhong. I believe that Li Xu, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji will not be arrogant for long. ”

"Is that really the case?" Ma Teng's eyes couldn't help but show shock.

Zhang Lang smiled secretly in his heart, of course he understood why Ma Teng had this expression, just imagine Ma Teng's current situation, neither good nor bad, there are soldiers under him and no food, although Liangzhou has a vast territory, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, the materials are difficult to continue, and there are foreign races who have been fighting for many years, and there is a lack of food and grass. At this time, the forces in Guanzhong are complicated, and there are more than a dozen warlords in large and small stocks, which is originally a situation of less meat and more people, if Yuan Shao and Cao Ying also want to raise a large army to kill in Guanzhong and forcibly divide the cup of soup, then the difficulty of Ma Teng can be imagined. This will greatly affect his strategic policy of stepping out of Xiliang and capturing Sanfu Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, his mouth said slowly: "This source is quite accurate, and there will be no mistakes. Hey, General Ma, why is your face so ugly, and is there any discomfort in your body? Zhang Lang saw that Ma Teng's face was not very good, and deliberately stimulated.

Ma Teng looked at Zhang Lang with a little numbness, this guy is more experienced than rumors. "It's okay, it's just a little surprised." ”

Zhang Lang made a lot of money, and then said lazily: "General Ma, let's open the skylight today and say something bright, there are two purposes for coming tonight." First, in the hope of forming an alliance with General Ma, his lips and teeth are cold; Second, I hope that when Hou Lang returns the jade seal in front of the saint, General Ma can support the holy drive of the Son of Heaven to Jiangdong in front of all the officials. Don't know if you have a problem? ”

Ma Teng's eyes flashed, sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny, unpredictable. After half a ring, he said slowly: "General Zhang, you just want to welcome the holy driver, don't you want to be a certain person?" Besides, if you and I form an alliance, there will be some good in the end. ”

Zhang Lang chuckled twice, raised his head, and said confidently: "Is General Ma really ignorant or false?" The alliance between you and me has countless benefits. First of all, one south and one north, vertical and horizontal, long-distance and long-distance attack, there will never be any conflict of interest in the short term; Second, as long as the wave welcomes the Son of Heaven to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, it will inevitably attract Cao Ying and Yuan Shao's eyes, and in the early years, a certain person has a grudge against these two families, and he will definitely be able to empty the forces in Hanoi and Guanzhong placed by the two parties, so that he can go all out to conquer the south. At this time, as long as our Jiangnan army takes Xuzhou as a strategic point, and cooperates with the Huainan generals, the west can advance into Dongjun and clamp Yanzhou; The north can attack Qingzhou in Beihai and contain Yuan Shao. At this point, I believe that General Ma can have no scruples about fighting the three auxiliary passes, obtain the granary of the world, and then turn to the Quartet and become the overlord. ”

Ma Teng stood up, his body was extremely majestic, and his tiger eyes stared at Zhang Lang tightly, unmoved, and said slowly: "General Zhang, you are too exalted and underestimate Ma." Although the north has been in turmoil for many years, it has cultivated many iron-blooded divisions. Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, there are countless good generals and ministers, and the combat power and equipment of the troops are extremely sophisticated. If General Zhang starts a war with one of them, he may be able to hold on, and if he opens two fronts at the same time, he is afraid that Jiangdong will not be far from the destruction. ”

Then ignoring Zhang Lang's reaction, he said coldly and domineeringly: "A certain sworn brother Han Sui has led an army of 100,000 Xiliang, crossed Anding, and sneaked into Beidi County. My son Ma Chao, has secretly led 10,000 elite cavalry, along the Jingshui said rapid march of 800 miles, I believe that within two days will be able to approach Gaoling, Jingyang, and approach Chang'an. At the same time, I have written to Zhang Ji, together with the Shaanxi army, to dominate the three auxiliaries, guard Guanzhong, coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, if there is any disobedience, as disobeying the holy order, rise up and punish him. ”

The implication is already quite famous, and as long as you Zhang Lang does not obey my orders, you will also start an army.

Zhang Lang was stunned, obviously feeling the strong overlord aura in him, and he was even more impressed with Ma Teng in his heart. Ma Teng found out the fault from his long words, and decomposed it, which is indeed a superior mind. It seems that he can dig up in the troubled times, and lead the wolf-like Xiliang army, he does have extraordinary skills, and he still underestimates him too much. Thinking of this time, I can't help but retract a lot of pride and arrogance. Hey, did you go too well in Koto? It seems that we cannot just think that with the knowledge and culture of the 21st century, we will be invincible in the world. These people who can survive and develop in troubled times are all people with excellent minds, proficient in strategy, and ruthless.

However, why did Ma Teng reveal such a major event of military aircraft to himself? Aren't you afraid to spread the news yourself?

Zhang Lang couldn't figure it out for a while, but he quickly calmed down in his mind and said, "General Ma, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, this is an ironclad fact." At the moment, I may be able to work together with Zhang Ji, but I am afraid that after settling down, once the interests are unbalanced, I will turn around and do it. ”

Ma Teng picked up the fragrant tea casually and drank it all, and the image was heroic. He said mercilessly in his mouth: "It's better than General Zhang's empty promises." ”

Zhang Lang also stood up, almost as tall as Ma Teng, but not as majestic as him, and his face was a little embarrassed.

The two looked at each other for a while, and collided with fierce sparks, and the form was quite subtle.

Zhang Lang's face quickly returned to calm, and he said with a faint smile: "General Ma is a joint Zhang Ji, coercing the Son of Heaven, refusing Guanzhong, and resisting Cao Yuan's army?" Or will Jiangdong hold Cao Yuan's men and horses, and let you capture Sanfu? I believe that General Ma will make a wise choice between the two. By the way, I forgot to tell General Ma that a certain general Tai Shici and Chen Wu have also led the Danyang army out of Yangzhou and headed for Yuyuan Mountain, I believe that they will soon be forced into Wuguan, and I believe that they can help General Ma to dominate Guanzhong. ”

Ma Teng's rugged face showed a contemplative look, thinking about weighing the past for a while.

Zhang Lang looked at Ma Teng, who didn't show a little expression, and sighed secretly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. It seems that this talk is going to end in failure, and I just told a big lie, but I really can't swallow this breath. This is the first time since his debut, he has hit a wall, and his nose is full of ashes. Ma Teng, Ma Teng, Zhang Lang has seen your true skills.
