"Master Hou! There is no way to teach a daughter in a humble position... ugh..."
Seeing that Xie Ying was indifferent to Zhao Yun and Han Sui's pleas and remained silent, Ma Teng said repeatedly with a guilty look on his face, even changing his name, and finally sighed so loudly that even he himself didn't know what to say!
The more Xie Ying remained silent, the more nervous and panicked everyone in Xiliang became. Even Ma Wenlu seemed to realize that he had caused a big disaster. He nervously grabbed Ma Chao's arm with his pretty face and timidly...
Sitting and looking at the people in Xiliang, Ma Chao and Pang De, although their faces were nervous, looked unyielding, solemn and heroic. They were indeed worthy of being the top warriors known in history, Xieying secretly admired them!
"Lord!"
Zhao Yun, who was originally calm and steady, seemed to have lost his composure and was in a state of confusion. Seeing the evil shadow remaining silent, he couldn't help but shout out again!
"You are also making nonsense! How dignified is Zuo Bingcao, the uncle of Yizhou State! You have nothing to do here, stand down!"
Seeing Zhao Yun, who has always been calm, steady, loyal, brave and wise, being so reckless and treating himself so stingy regardless of the occasion, Xie Ying was still quite disappointed even though he knew it was because he cared about Ma Wenlu. Zhao Yun was almost
The perfect incarnation, both loyal and righteous, both civil and military, but in troubled times, being too emotional will be a big disadvantage, and the greatest advantage has turned into a disadvantage! If he leads an army alone in the future, Xie Ying will be very disappointed.
Feeling uneasy, he couldn't help scolding him in a deep voice and pointed out that he was the commander of the Yizhou Cavalry and his wife's brother!
"Yes! I have followed Xie Ying for several years, and Xie Ying has never shown any bad looks to Zhao Yun. This is the first time in history that he has such a stern tone. Zhao Yun's face immediately turned pale. He responded in despair, and retreated decadently.
Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Xie Ying secretly shook his head. He just scolded Zhao Yun, and there was no need to behave like this. He couldn't withstand the blow. He needed more training. Otherwise, Zhao Yun would have lost his ability to fight.
But think about it, Zhao Yun is only less than 20 years old now, and everything is going smoothly. His mentality is not yet mature, and it is normal that he is not tough enough!
"I am the one who caused the trouble. If you have any anger, just take it out on me and don't involve other people!"
Before Zhao Yun could retreat, Ma Wenlu suddenly stepped forward, looked directly at the evil shadow, raised his head, raised his chest and spoke softly, with an expression as if he was looking forward to death...
"Stop messing around!"
Everyone was stunned. Ma Chao immediately pulled Ma Wenlu back and scolded him in a low voice. Ma Wenlu's eyes immediately turned red and misty. It seemed that this was the first time that his most relied-upon brother had spoken harsh words to him!
"Brother Ma Teng, I don't know what your main purpose is in planning to marry my army?"
Xieying glanced at Ma Wenlu and ignored her. Instead, he looked at Ma Teng and asked directly! At first glance, it sounded like he was depressed and quite impatient!
"The day before yesterday, former General Dong Zhuo asked us to go to the capital to serve the king and wait for an opportunity to seize power. But from our point of view, the world is in chaos and it is inevitable. He went to the capital to seek power and power in a flash. He became the target of public criticism. It would be worse.
It would be more practical to take the opportunity to consolidate your own strength and develop your own local power as soon as possible! In addition, Yizhou and Liangzhou border each other, so I want to marry Lord Marquis and become an ally, and add my sworn brother Han Sui to jointly plot Liangzhou.
Prefecture, when the three parties divide Yizhou equally and occupy the northwest, real power will be in their hands, power will be at your fingertips, and other official positions in name only will be empty space!"
Infected by the evil shadow, Ma Teng also spoke directly, without concealing his purpose and ambition!
After hearing what Ma Teng said, Xie Ying couldn't help but think secretly!
Ma Teng is worthy of being one of the most famous princes in the Three Kingdoms era. His thoughts and strategies are indeed very capable. Even Ma Teng knows that chaos in the world is unavoidable. He must strengthen his own strength and develop his own power as soon as possible! Fists are hard.
That's right! Among the various princes in the Three Kingdoms, this is the prince who was the first to realize his enlightenment! Of course, it cannot be said that Dong Zhuo is not as good as Ma Teng. After all, Dong Zhuo used gambling, and he had the opportunistic mentality of a market gangster. He was a bit over-ambitious and wanted to reach the sky in one step!
Ma Teng, on the other hand, pursues a strategy of playing steadily and step by step!
Ma Teng came to marry and form an alliance with him. Of course, he wanted to use his own strength to share the pressure on Liangzhou and use his reputation. The most important thing was that he was worried about making trouble on his own. After all, Yizhou and Liangzhou bordered each other. Even if Ma Teng
If you take Liangzhou, you will also have to face the Evil Shadow Army of the Tiger and Wolf Division. When the Evil Shadow Army makes an excuse to send troops to regain Liangzhou, the base that you have worked so hard to build will be used to clothe the Evil Shadow Army! Of course, even if it has already been
Sitting in Yizhou, the evil shadows do not send troops to jointly plot Liangzhou, at least because of the marriage relationship. Ma Teng is content not to deal with them. He only needs to give them some time to consolidate and develop Liangzhou. It still depends on who is strong and who is weak.
Fists speak!
"Oh! Then what capital do you have to form an alliance with me? Or what guarantee can you give me? What benefits can I get?"
After thinking about it, Xie Ying expressionlessly stared at Ma Teng and said calmly! He didn't think there was anything wrong with Ma Teng's intention to rebel. This was also the reason why Ma Teng came to visit him. The Marquis of Hanzhong in Jiuxi was never a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
, I didn’t say he was a treacherous minister, he was already pretty good!
"We, the Ma family and the Han family, are famous families in Xiliang. Various forces are intertwined and deeply rooted. The plot to plot Liangzhou is just around the corner! With Brother Xieying, the fierce dragon crossing the river, and our two local snakes, Liangzhou will definitely be ours.
Everything in the bag is at your fingertips! When the time comes, our three parties will divide Liangzhou equally and become one, and all the northwest mountains and rivers will be in my hands. No one can touch it, and no one dares to touch it! When the time comes, we can sit back and watch the world's dragons and tigers fight, and if we advance, we can plot the world.
, at least I can enjoy all the glory and wealth, and leave my name in history! Of course, it would be best if we can get married when we come here this time, otherwise my dogs are all here, and I can keep a hostage here!"
Seeing the evil shadow, Ma Teng was very moved. He immediately said excitedly and excitedly that he was worthy of being a man who did great things. He was justified in giving his children as hostages to others!
Hearing Ma Teng describe the prospect so well, Xie Ying couldn't help but remain silent for a while. What Ma Teng said is not unreasonable. Yizhou and Liangzhou have captured the entire western and northwestern parts of China. If they can all be controlled, their power will be huge.
Needless to say, growth can at least reduce the number of attack points and ensure the stable development of Yizhou. After all, if you want to enter Yizhou, you can only attack Wudu from Liangzhou or attack Yong'an from Jingzhou. To capture Liangzhou, you only need to worry about coming from
The attack from Sili and the possible attack from Jingzhou are enough, but with the combined power of the two states, there really is no force that dares to twist the tiger's beard!
After thinking about it, Xie Ying looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu who were standing aside, only to see the two of them nodding heavily at the same time and looking at Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Chao, in order to ask Xie Ying to agree to the alliance and at the same time take Ma Chao as a hostage. After all,
Ma Chao's talent stands out among the people in Xiliang. Pang De may be able to compare with him. If such a fierce general is not retained, how can he leave it to Ma Teng! The Evil Shadow Army never thinks there are too many fierce generals.
Yes, the more the merrier!
"Brother!"
Guo Jia and Jia Xu did not hide their actions at all, and they were not afraid of others knowing! Naturally, everyone in Xiliang knew it, and Ma Wenlu could not help but clutch Ma Chao's arm with great sadness, and choked with sobs!
"Little sister! From now on, you must not be naughty when big brother is not by your side! Otherwise, don't come to me crying!"
Ma Chao dotingly patted Ma Wenlu's little hand holding his arm, and said affectionately. After a pause, he cupped his fists and raised his hands toward Xie Ying in a general-like manner:
"It is Meng Qi's blessing to be able to study with the Marquis of Hanzhong! Meng Qi is willing to stay!"
"Brother!" Hearing what Ma Chao said, Ma Wenlu, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai couldn't help shouting sadly in unison, making it seem like they were parting from life or death. However, Ma Chao has always been their leader since he was a child, and he is also Xiliang The child king is their backbone. He not only disciplines them, but also teaches them martial arts from an early age. He digs out bird's nests with them, steals chickens and ducks together, and peeks at the aunt in the garden taking a bath together... which can be regarded as sharing the hardships together. , have enjoyed such a happy life! Now that their backbone has suddenly been lost, and the brotherhood of more than ten years has suddenly been lost, their hearts suddenly feel empty, as if they have lost their spiritual support. Naturally, they are filled with sadness!
"Okay! Being able to follow Hanzhong Hou is his blessing. No one else can win for him. What are you doing! He can come at any time if you want to see him!"
Seeing that the young people had made the atmosphere sad and everyone was expressing their affection, Ma Teng couldn't help but shouted sharply, paused, walked up to Ma Chao, raised his calloused hands and gently stroked Ma Chao's head, and said in a tone of voice He said seriously:
"Well done Meng Qi! You are worthy of being called General Fubo. My son, my ancestors and I will be proud of you!"
"Father! I can no longer discipline my little brothers. They are just a little naughty. Don't be too strict with them!"
Ma Chao straightened his body and became proud, but when he saw Ma Tie and the others with misty eyes, they immediately softened and asked as if to explain the aftermath!
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Ma Teng said hello three times in a row. He didn't know whether he agreed to Ma Chao's request or praised Ma Chao! "Ahem! Ahem! I basically agree with the alliance, but I don't have enough chips. I want you to keep one man and one woman. !”
Feeling the affectionate expressions of everyone in the Ma family, and then seeing the angry eyes of the young people, especially Ma Wenlu, Xie Ying coughed and said in embarrassment. He felt like a great villain who left his brothers, It was Ma Teng's suggestion to stay as a hostage, not his own suggestion!
