When the power declares its demise, different people will have different choices.

The later lord Liu Chan surrendered to Wei, and the Zhuge clan chose to commit suicide, which did not insult the world's reputation.

Guan Yu was surrounded by Cao's army and was forced to surrender to Cao. However, he later passed five passes and killed six generals, which became a model of loyalty and righteousness.

Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, opened the city to surrender when he heard that Zhao Yun had come.

When the power is destroyed, the old general is nothing more than death. He can surrender to the two ways, either as loyal as Guan Yu, or as miserable as Lu Bu.

For the Ma family army, the demise of power was not achieved overnight, but erosion bit by bit, from the loss of Hanzhong to the destruction of Tianshui, to the fall of peace, these steps were gradually eroded and slowly eroded.

Until the last wolf rider in Xiliang fell, every general was very calm, as if a terminally ill patient had finally waited for that day.

Lao Ma Teng experienced two life failures and felt that he had died twice.

He looked at King Zhurong who was victorious under the city, and there was no turmoil in his heart.

"My ministers, it's my problem, I'm sorry." Ma Teng coughed and said dryly, "Thank you for sticking with me for so long. If you are willing to surrender, you will surrender. I, Ma Teng, do not have the ability to dominate the world."

After saying that, he wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide.

"Father!" Ma Teng was so slow to draw the sword, and said good things in advance to give everyone sufficient psychological preparation. Of course, Ma Chao could stop him.

Ma Chao advised: "Father, just surrender, it's not that scary! Didn't I live well with my brother in my previous life?"

“…”

Ma Dai was obviously prepared and looked at the old brother. He stepped forward and said, "The king of Zhurong is kind, even someone like Zhong Hui can tolerate it, let alone our father, son, siblings?"

"Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated!" Ma Teng seemed quite strong, "I remember that when my father was surrounded by Cao's thief, he fought until the last moment. Now..."

"Yes, father, our biggest enemy is Cao Cao!" Ma Chao continued to persuade him when he saw the opportunity, "Stay the green mountains and keep them there. Don't be afraid of no firewood. Although unification of the world becomes a bubble, there is still a chance to kill Cao thief!"

The generals of the southern barbarians under the city looked at each other when they saw the Ma family singing and reuniting.

"This play is too fake..." Even the hypocritical brother-in-law couldn't stand it anymore.

Old Ma Teng seems to be more pedantic than Liu Yan, and he is more respectful. He is not willing to die, but he is embarrassed when he surrenders directly.

But this is not easy to point out, and it is necessary to create conditions for various talents to surrender to the Southern Barbarians.

King Zhurong said: "I have promised the head of the Sima family to Deng Ai. Since that's the case, I promised the head of the Cao family to you, the father and son of the Ma family."

Ma Chao was happy and hurriedly said, "Father, don't you want to kill Cao Zhe with your own hands? Chao, Dai didn't have this opportunity under Liu Bei's men back then!"

"I'll give it to you brothers with my hand! Our army is destroyed and we have no choice but to be responsible for our father. Let's go!" Ma Teng seemed to be dissuading and wanted to commit suicide again.

The brother-in-law cursed inwardly: "It's so disgusting, it's even more disgusting than Liu Bei's promotion of the throne."

Seeing this, Mr. Hua had to do what he liked.

"The Ma family will either surrender or die. If General Ma Teng commits suicide, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others will definitely hold a grudge against me. I, Nanman, dare not keep these two lives."

"Oh?" Ma Teng's eyes lit up, and he finally found a reason to surrender. He was worthy of being the military commander Hua who played Li Ru.

Ma Chao also followed the flow and said, "Father! If you die, our brothers and sister Yunlu will have to die with you!"

"No!" Ma Teng's expression suddenly tightened, and he was very strong. "You children are still carrying the great cause of killing Cao thief. How can you go to the underworld with your father?"

After talking, he stared at King Zhurong under the city.

"What my father said," Ma Chao sighed, "In order to avenge the great cause and for our younger generations, my father could only endure humiliation and live a life of silence and suffer from the sufferings of the world!"

"Who will go to hell if I don't go to hell!" Ma Teng sighed sadly, "Since that's the case, my father surrendered for you... Alas..."

He hit the city with his fist, which was helpless.

The Southern Barbarian army entered the city. Although Ma Teng gradually leveled the ground, the Southern Barbarian army still suffered a lot, and reinforcements were all in line to win the protracted battle.

But life will be easier in the future. Now there are ten cities and dominate two states, including three castles and four strongholds, which have great advantages for the joint army. In addition, there are three pure internal affairs cities that produce resources. In the future, whether it is a blitzkrieg or a protracted war, the Southern Barbarians will be fearless at all.

Since we had expected this scene, the previous battles between the two sides were actually peaceful, and there was no casualties and no enemies. Everything else was easy to say.

In the city, Ma Teng led all the generals to surrender.

King Zhurong nodded and showed his kindness, symbolically helped Ma Teng up, said a few politely, and then turned around and said, "Sister, please arrange it, I will reorganize the troops."

The generals of Xiliang were slightly shocked. People said that Zhu Rong was extremely brave, and the woman behind her was even more intelligent.

In this way, King Zhurong’s trust in Military Advisor Hua is too exaggerated, and it can even be comparable to Liu Bei’s trust in Zhuge Liang. Isn’t she afraid of power and bullying the master?

Military Commander Hua glanced at the generals and pulled his brother-in-law to discuss something secretly.

Everyone was shocked again.

This brother-in-law is not simple, even Military Advisor Hua has to consult his opinions.

Is it extremely wise or is it based on blood relationships and for the sake of face, the military advisor wants to give him face?

"Tsk... I'm just a brother-in-law." Such a spit was heard in the crowd.

My brother-in-law thrust his face and still held back and did not get angry. If he was arrogant and arrogant at this time, he would ruin his reputation even more.

This thought made his intelligence increase to 39.

"This is OK...it's more effective than eating Nao Platinum."

Afterwards, the two discussed briefly, and Military Commander Hua went to the meeting room to study the recent situation, and the appointment and removal were announced by his brother-in-law.

Fang Xian glanced at the generals. Except for the three fathers and sons of the Ma family, most of them lowered their heads and looked very ashamed.

Wait. There is a woman in the corner with her face covered in dark things!

"Who is that?" Fang Xian asked at her.

Ma Teng panicked and said repeatedly: "Ma Yunlu, the youngest girl in the family, looks extremely ugly. General Meng is not good at thinking, so don't wipe out the general's interest..."

"Oh?!" Fang Xianhu stared at Sister Yunlu with his eyes wide open.

In addition to the tough female compatriots in the Nanman family, this is the first woman he met in this world. He finally understood why Liu Bei was so interested in men.

Although this woman didn't look at Fang Xian, her eyebrows were full of madness like a Ma Chao, or arrogance.

Seeing that Meng You became more sensible, Ma Teng hurriedly came over and patted him.

"General Meng... the young girl is only 16 years old, and it is the time to get married. She is afraid that she will be attracted by a reckless man in the Southern Barbarians and will produce evil fire, so she will cover her face with dust. I hope General Meng will not be surprised."

The brother-in-law smiled and said, "Oh? Say I am a reckless man in the Southern Barbarians?"

"I dare not, I dare not. When I see General Meng today, I am so romantic and handsome, and I use military force like a god while chatting and laughing. How could I be a reckless man? The Central Plains Grand Secretary's style is not as good as General Meng!"

My brother-in-law looked at Lao Ma Teng with approval. Is the role change quite fast? He knew that he would say good things to the powerful ministers, so he said politely.

"General Ma has been too much. In terms of his face, Meng You is indeed a bit reckless."

Ma Teng shook his head repeatedly and pointed to the unwilling place sincerely: "The general is modest. Compared with that person, General Meng is simply the style of a Confucian scholar in the aristocratic family."

Fang Xian followed his fingers and looked.

Darba was there, and he was weaving rattan armor.

He deeply agrees with this.

If the Southern Man is really rude, if someone like Darba comes in and directly kidnapped Ma Yunlu as the wife of the village, the Ma family is really not tempered... After all, there is a lesson from Cai Wenji.

"This is, in the troubled times, girls should be careful every family." He thought for a while, then frowned, "But as far as I know, Ma Yunlu is a fictional character, why did General Ma protect him so much?"

Ma Yunlu is like a flowery man, a figure who was fictionalized to enrich the position of women in the Three Kingdoms. In other words, it was only when Lao Ma came here that he had a daughter.

Seeing this, Ma Teng sighed: "That's true, I'm not to hide it from General Meng. Although I have no feelings for my daughter, she is named Ma, and her temperament is very similar to Chaoer when she was young, which makes me really like it. I had planned to marry this daughter with other forces based on the situation of the war. The advanced ones have already been invested by the king, so this move is unnecessary."

As he said, gritted his teeth and leaned into his brother-in-law's ear and whispered: "General Meng, if you like it, my daughter can be left to you for your care."

"Oh?!" My brother-in-law shook his body and looked at Sister Yunlu, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Seeing that he was immersed in the air, Ma Teng struck while the iron was hot: "I just want General Meng to say more good words in the future, give my two sons more opportunities and make achievements, especially when going to war with Cao Cao, please be sure to let my Ma family army participate in the war."

Only then did Fang Xian realize that Lao Ma was playing this abacus.

"Don't worry, the generals of the Ma family are brave and must be beaten when they beat Cao Cao. As for sister Yunlu..." After hesitating, he shook his head, "I want to put my career first for the time being and not talk about my girlfriend."

Ma Teng held his breath in his chest and almost squirted it out. How hypocritical this man has to be able to say such words.

"I wonder if General Ma knows Deng Zhong?"

"Deng Zhong? Deng Ai's son?"

"Well, General Deng Xiaoping's talent must be the mainstay of my future Nanman. In my opinion, if Sister Yunlu can be with Deng Zhong, it will be a good destination for both of them or both."

Ma Teng thought about it for a while, but he felt that this brother-in-law was stupid.

The Deng family in Majiahe is very famous, and they are now under Zhurong's account.

Is this a taboo in marriage between powerful officials?

My brother-in-law naturally saw Ma Teng's plan and smiled again: "General Ma doesn't have to worry too much. The king does not care about joining gangs. This move is just for heroes to match beauty and let everyone serve the king well. If General Ma has no objection, I will advise the king and ask her to promise this marriage. General Deng will present the king's favor and also the favor of you and me."

Ma Teng thought for a moment and found that this brother-in-law was indeed not simple.

If the king approved this marriage, he would naturally have no scruples.

At the same time, the relationship between the Ma family and the Deng family will also become closer.

As an instructor, both families will also like him.

I don't know why this brother-in-law manages this way...

At this moment, my brother-in-law also had a look of evil in his eyes and said softly: "General Ma, don't worry, I am loyal to the king, but I am a little dissatisfied with some of the strategies of Military Commander Hua."
