Chapter 7 Mahan Turns Back Again
"Lord, I wonder what the letter said?"
At this time, a middle-aged scholar who looked a bit elegant asked while shaking his folding fan (okay! The folding fan has been passed here). This person is no one else, but Cheng Gongying, the most capable adviser under Han Sui. Cheng Gongying has a more surname, Cheng Gongying, and his single name is Ying, and his name is Boming (made up), which is highly valued by Han Sui.
"Please see, Boming!" Han Sui was quite respectful to this person, "That horse actually betrayed us for the position of a general in the West. It's really hateful!"
When Cheng Gongying saw it, his expression changed, but at last he frowned again, "My lord, you must be careful of fraud! Although Ma'er is stupid, it is impossible not to understand the difference between the inheritance rights of a small general in the Western Expedition and the King of Tianshui..."
Han Sui shook his head and said, "It is precisely because of this that Han felt it was trustworthy. How could that Emperor Xiaoxian be appointed as the king of another surname? If he really named Ma Er as the title of King, that would be a real fraud! Moreover, if it was as he said, Ma Teng's old man was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, in this way, Ma Teng's strength would be much stronger than the current Tianshui King, at least he was in charge of two or three times that of now... In this case, Ma Teng's old man would not be moved?"
Cheng Gongying also frowned deeply, because what Han Sui said was not unreasonable. Although the title of the king is indeed very good, if you don’t have the life to enjoy it, it is really not as affordable as a state governor. At least the power of the state governor is twice as great as that of the current Tianshui King.
"Lord, Ying still thinks there is a fraud here!" Cheng Gongying stroked her beard and analyzed: "Lord, let's think about it. If we were to say something opposite to Ma Teng for this, wouldn't it be the way Xiaoxian's child? What is he most willing to see now? We and Ma Teng both suffer. This is the cleverness of Xiaoxian's child's plan. Whether we believe it or not, we must be careful to defend Ma Teng. In this way, how can we cooperate without interruption?"
Han Sui also nodded and said, "That's true. This plot is no longer a conspiracy, but an open plot! The child knows how to take advantage of the situation. No wonder he led his troops to come just after the truce between me and Ma Teng. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that Ma Teng had not yet become accused of the beginning and then beat me all in one place!"
The young general on the side bowed to South Korea and frowned and said, "But lord, if, if, what if, what if, if this is not a plan, but true? Even if there is a half-percent possible surname, we cannot take this risk!"
Han Sui nodded, looked at Cheng Gongying, and said, "Boming, what should I do?"
Cheng Gongying twisted his beard and said, "It seems that we can only use the dike in the secret to see if there is any abnormal movement on Ma Teng. Once there is any abnormal movement, we will take the lead in giving it a blow! Then retreat with one blow, retreat to Wuwei, and then make a long-term plan!"
Han Sui nodded, sighed slightly, and said, "That's the only way!"
...
While Han Sui caught Ji Xi, Ma Teng also caught a Ji Xi, but the letter from Ji Xi was written to Liu Xie by Yan Xing.
The letter said that Yan Xing had already considered it very clearly. For him, the Xiliang area was almost useless. He was willing to take the position of General of the East and recover the territory for Liu Xie. After hearing his advice, Han Sui was willing to pay tribute to Liu Xie. As long as Liu Xie was willing to give him the position of governor of Liangzhou, he would be willing to stab Ma Teng in the back.
So Ma Teng was also angry and called Han Sui a bad guy. He helped him on the surface, but he didn't expect that he would secretly have evil intentions.
But after scolding, Ma Teng also felt that this might be Liu Xie's plan. Therefore, he sent someone to invite Han Sui and Yan Xing to discuss the matter with the purpose of explaining the matter clearly. If it was Liu Xie's plan, it would be fine, but if Han Sui really had the will, he would be killed on the spot.
At this moment, Ma Chao came back in disgrace. Seeing Ma Chao coming back after the defeat, Ma Teng was actually very angry. But thinking that Ma Chao's bravery would be needed next, Ma Teng could only endure it. Ma Chao's feelings for Ma Chao's eldest son were actually very complicated.
First, Ma Chao is indeed his son. Although he is not a legitimate child, this son did not disappoint him and was the best in the army. However, it was precisely because Ma Chao, the concubine son, was too outstanding, that he completely covered up the sharpness of his legitimate son Ma Tie. Only in the army knew that there was Jin Ma Chao, but he didn't know that there was still a Ma Tie.
And Ma Tie is their real young army leader. But many of the army leaders respect Ma Chao as the young army leader. How could Ma Teng be happy?
In history, Ma Teng and Yu Xu were killed by Cao Cao because Ma Chao rebelled in Xiliang, which is also a major stain on Ma Chao's life. Many people who did not like Ma Chao in later generations would use this matter to attack him, which is also one of the reasons why Ma Chao has mixed praises and criticisms in history.
This is the world, and the dispute between legitimate and illegitimate are everywhere.
Originally, Ma Chao thought that this time, he would definitely curse him, and he was mentally prepared.
But unexpectedly, Ma Teng sighed and said to him: "For my father, you have done your best. This time our enemy is different from the past. Xiaoxian's son has countless capable people. It is understandable that you are not his opponent. But I believe that you also know your own shortcomings, so please feel free to exercise for your father for a while! Okay, this matter is over. Don't talk about this first, you can read this letter first..."
After hearing this, Ma Chao sighed in his heart, because he had already heard that his father wanted to regain his military power! He worked hard for several years and finally had the opportunity to take charge of the army himself. Now, he actually... Thinking about it, Ma Chao felt a little cold.
But he did not show it, but took the letter and hurriedly swept it up. Soon, he gritted his teeth, "That unrighteous person is indeed untrustworthy!"
"After that, how could that Xiaoxian boy, please let you come back easily?" Ma Teng still asked the question in his heart. Or, subconsciously, he still believed in this eldest son whose reputation gradually surpassed his trend.
"He wants to recruit me, but my son will never obey! He let me wait for me to come back and said he would give me another chance!" Ma Chao sighed: "The terrain of the valley is narrow, which is not conducive to large-scale cavalry combat, but the other party used the terrain, which made me suffer a heavy loss. If this revenge is not avenged, it will not be able to eliminate my hatred!"
Although this sounded unreliable, Ma Teng believed it because Ma Chao was not good at lying. As his father, how could Ma Teng not tell whether Ma Chao was telling the truth or lies? But he was really unhappy and was cheated by Liu Xie.
"Well! Let's deal with the current affairs first! If the Han surname is really ruthless to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous to him!"
Ma Teng prepared the knife and axe driver, buried it around the camp, and then sent someone to invite Han Sui to discuss matters.
The two of them did not have the same military camp, but camped about ten miles away outside Xiabian City. The two camps were about ten miles apart.
In fact, it was quite risky for Han Sui to run to Wudu County to help Ma Teng. You must know that Wudu County is Ma Teng's power territory. If Han Sui had not been destroyed, he would not have taken this risk.
Therefore, Han Sui was actually extremely alert at this time.
When Han Sui received a message from Ma Teng who sent him to ask him to cross the camp, he immediately raised his heart.
"What does Ma Teng mean?" Han Sui frowned and looked at Cheng Gongying, "It's time, is it still in the mood to drink?"
Yan Xing said in confusion: "That child Ma Chao should have come back! At this time, Ma Teng did not scold Ma Chao, but instead set up wine in the tent. It makes no sense!"
Cheng Gongying also nodded and said, "No matter whether there is any reason or not, this trip is extremely dangerous. I hope the lord will think twice!"
Han Sui nodded and said, "Han understands that, so he wants to ask Boming, should we go or not!"
Cheng Gongying was also depressed! Didn’t he have already passed the stick to you? Why did you pass it back?
But at this time, he naturally could not show these depressions, so he thought about it and said, "Ma Teng's reason is somewhat doubtful. It is obvious that it is a bit obvious to ask us to go to have a drink at this time. If he asked us to discuss things, maybe it is not so doubtful because Ma Chao's new defeat. Therefore, if we go, we may not be able to come back! But if we don't go... Is the lord ready to conflict with Ma Teng again?"
"I wonder if Boming has a way to make Han not go, and he can try out if Ma Teng has a second thought?"
Cheng Gongying shook the folding fan and laughed: "This matter is actually simple. The lord just send someone to tell Ma Teng that we have got a batch of new spirits from Hebei today, let him come over and taste it, and ask Ma Qiaolai by the way, and discuss the countermeasures against Xiaoxian's children together... As long as Ma Teng is willing to come over, it will be okay. If Ma Teng doesn't want to come over, then the lord must be prepared!"
When Han Sui heard this, a smile appeared on his face and said, "Okay! OK! OK! That's it!"
So, Han Sui sent someone to invite Ma Teng.
Ma Teng, who received the news, gritted his teeth, slapped the table, and cursed: "You are so stupid, you really have to be traitors! My son, give me some army, today I have to give this person with a good look in Han!"
"Here!"
So Ma Teng and Han Sui started doing this. First, Ma Teng went to Han Sui camp to steal the camp, but unexpectedly, he was lost.
In fact, when Ma Teng ordered the army, Han Sui had already received news, so he used the trick and used the night to lead the army to quietly withdraw from the camp, and then repelled Ma Teng's military camp... As a result, the two military camps actually caught fire at the same time...
Then, the two armies fought in the darkness.
"Han Sui, you, a traitorous villain, have actually surrendered to Emperor Xiaoxian in secret. Do you deserve Ma's trust in you? Get out and answer!"
Ma Teng cut off Han Sui's soldiers in front of him with a knife, letting the blood sprinkle on his body, his hair and beards open, and he roared in anger. (To be continued.)
