Chapter 467 Why don’t you call yourself a young man in anger?
"Bah! Eggless thing!"
Here in Liangzhou, in a military camp, Ma Chao, wearing armor and a scarlet cloak behind him, spat fiercely and cursed angrily.
The whole person was a little furious.
When Ma Teng's soldiers who came to deliver Ma Teng's military orders heard this and saw such a scene, their eyes widened in disbelief.
I had just informed him about the general's status, and he actually cursed him in public!
Why is this guy so brave?
Dare you scold your father like this in public?
While he was stunned, the soldier also had thoughts in his heart. If he reported the matter truthfully and informed the general, he would not be able to act like a loving father and a filial son.
He felt that it should definitely happen.
After scolding him fiercely, Ma Chao, who was not satisfied yet, seemed not to notice the dumbfounded look of his father's soldiers at all, and was still spitting out sweet things.
"Why is this stupid guy so courageous?
It's already this time, but you still don't dare to send troops directly, you have to wait!
What kind of war is this?
Are you just waiting there to kill Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng who are able to get in?
With such courage, why fight?
Just go back and hold the baby!
This is a Korean date!
How come there are so many things!
If this damn thing hadn't been talking nonsense there, I would have already led the troops and set off!"
The more he listened, the more stunned he became. In addition, the furious Ma Teng soldiers had already left, ready to go find Ma Teng. They reported this scene to Ma Teng, but the name of Han Sui came out of Ma Chao's mouth.
.
After hearing Han Sui's name, Ma Teng's soldiers were relieved and the anger in their hearts dissipated.
As long as you don't scold your master, that's fine.
Han Sui, if he gets scolded, he gets scolded, it doesn't matter.
This guy is just his lord's adoptive brother for less than a year. He has no blood relationship with his lord and his younger lord.
Ma Chao, who was still spitting out the sweet fragrance, didn't even know how much of a disaster he had just escaped unconsciously.
If he hadn't mentioned Han Sui's name, he would have quickly realized what it means to be a loving father and a filial son, and what it means to have trouble come from the mouth.
There is a reason why Ma Chao yelled at Han Sui.
After receiving the secret message, they have begun to formally mobilize troops, mobilize troops and horses, and prepare to officially march towards Guanzhong.
Ma Chao himself was officially appointed as the pioneer.
He was finally able to leap on his horse and whip his whip as he wished.
As a result, at this time, Han Sui, an eggless thing, actually told his father that he would wait before sending troops.
And his father, after thinking for a while, actually did what the guy wanted!
How can this not make Ma Chao angry?
He just wants to leap on his horse and whip his whip, hold a gun and lead troops across the battlefield, so that people in Guanzhong can see the majesty of Ma Chao, and let people in the world know that there is a person like him. Why is it so difficult?
Naturally, he didn't dare to scold his father like this, but Han Sui had nothing to worry about.
This guy and his father became sworn brothers. The most important thing is to unite with each other, not for the so-called friendship.
Under such circumstances, Ma Chao cursed Han Sui without any psychological pressure at all.
Even if Han Sui appeared in front of him at this time, it would not be impossible for him to be so angry that he would stab him to death with a gun!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Just know how to wait!
Things are already so clear, why wait?
What else is there to wait for?
At this time, there was internal support in Chang'an, and Zhu Jun in Guandong raised a banner and advocated a challenge to Dong. The Huns in the north of Guanzhong also responded. As long as they sent troops, they did not mind sending troops to attack Guanzhong from the north.
Ma Chao did not expect those Huns to bring much pressure to Guanzhong, but they could at least hold back many of Guanzhong's troops and energy.
Moreover, in Guanzhong, Liu and Dong were obviously at odds with each other. There was also the Emperor and some people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Emperor.
It's not a piece of iron.
Here in Liangzhou, after the spread of rumors, many people became fearful and were willing to join forces to fight against Dong Zhuo.
In such a situation, it can be said that it has an advantage.
I don’t know how much better the situation is compared to the beginning.
As a result, the situation has improved, but I still want to make the situation better and more favorable.
In Ma Chao's view, this kind of behavior is pushing the envelope and pushing one's nose on the face.
To be dissatisfied, to be a bitch is to be hypocritical.
However, it is a pity that Ma Teng is still alive at this time, and Ma Chao has just grown up, so he is not the one in charge.
Although he felt strongly dissatisfied with this, he could only endure it and endure it all...
I thought that when I became an adult, I would be able to do a lot of things I wanted to do.
As a result, Ma Chao now discovered that this was still impossible.
Even though he has grown up, he still has no control over many things...
This made him very distressed.
There is no use in worrying.
After scolding and sulking for a while, he got up and left the tent, exhaling white air outside, and practiced his marksmanship there.
When the gun came into his hand, it seemed to come alive. The gun's action was sharp, just like his person, and just like his mood at this time.
He practiced until he was a big man with white air coming out of his body. Only then did Ma Chao stop his gun.
He did not return to the camp, but beat the drums and raised the troops and began to drill the soldiers...
"Is Meng Qi furious again?"
After the soldiers returned, Ma Teng looked at the soldiers and asked with a smile.
The soldier nodded and said yes, and then told Ma Teng about Ma Chao's scolding of Han Sui.
When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but scolded: "This traitor, if you don't break his legs, he doesn't know what it means to respect people!"
Ma Teng lost his temper here, but the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light, so he did not really beat Ma Chao, let alone break his legs.
After scolding Ma Chao, Ma Teng looked at his own soldiers and said, "Don't tell others about this matter. If it gets out, it will hurt the relationship between me and Wen Yue."
The soldier nodded, indicating that he understood and knew the importance...
After the soldiers left, Ma Teng frowned and went to find Ma Chao.
To be honest, he didn't care much when Ma Chao scolded Han Sui.
After all, he and Han Sui were just sworn brothers, and their sworn bond was more of a union.
However, Ma Chao cannot scold in front of others.
Otherwise, if the words really get out, it will hurt the relationship between him and Han Sui to some extent.
You must not look good on face...
Well, after doing this for a long time, the relationship between Ma Teng and Han Sui is also a plastic brotherhood.
After Ma Teng found Ma Chao, he inevitably gave a warning.
The words were harsh, but in the final analysis, they were telling Ma Chao to be more careful when speaking in the future and not to be as impulsive as he is now.
It's okay to say some things out loud in private when no one is around, but you should never say them when others are around.
As the saying goes, it is better to be seen by people than by words.
Ma Chao immediately understood what Ma Teng meant.
After all, he was not a fool and used some analogies to understand this matter.
For example, I often complain about my father in my heart, but I can't let my father be like that.
"Don't be anxious about sending troops. This is related to our lives and wealth, so we need to treat it with caution.
Liangzhou, our family does not have the final say, we need to unite with your Uncle Han.
Let's lead the troops to fight like this. It is indeed a pleasure, but what should we do after the pleasure?
Even if we can win against Guanzhong alone, the cost will be huge.
After we defeat it, will we still be able to hold on to what we have defeated?
I don't think so.
Even our father and son's life will be more difficult than before.
It is not impossible that it will just decline.
We can't do such a thankless thing..."
Ma Teng spoke again, looking at Ma Chao and speaking seriously.
Ma Chao nodded: "My child understands and understands what Grandpa said, but I just feel that this battle is too anxious."
Ma Teng smiled and said: "If you are anxious, you have to wait. War is not just about fighting, there are many situations that need to be considered.
Including food and grass, friendly troops, wrangling, calculating gains and losses, commanding subordinates, etc., it is really not easy to devote all your energy to fighting..."
After talking to Ma Chao here for a while, Ma Teng left.
Regarding this incident, Ma Teng didn't have much anger in his heart. After all, no one has ever been young.
He understood his son's mood.
At the same time, he still held some gratitude in his heart for the upcoming battle with Guanzhong.
Because with this great battle, he was able to take advantage of the situation and pass on a lot of things to his son, teaching and shaping his eldest son.
Because of such great pressure, my eldest son absorbed and grew up very quickly...
Eight days later, someone came to Liangzhou again.
However, the people who came this time were no longer spies, but envoys from Dong Zhuo under the banner of the imperial court.
The mission of the envoy is to promote officials with Ma Teng and Han Sui.
However, the imagined envoys divided into two groups and went to the places where Ma Teng and Han Sui were respectively, which did not happen.
Instead, they all came to Ma Teng.
After arriving at Ma Teng, he sent a deputy from the envoy group and asked Ma Teng to send soldiers and horses to escort him to Han Sui, and notified Han Sui to come to Ma Teng to listen to the seal.
As the saying goes, people compete for a breath, and Buddha competes for a stick of incense.
This kind of operation clearly means that Ma Teng is more important than Han Sui, and he wants to use some means to provoke and divide Han Sui and Ma Teng.
Ma Teng naturally disagreed with this.
He said that he wanted the envoy from Chang'an to go to Han Sui first, where he would first reward Han Sui, and then come and reward him.
After the envoy from Chang'an made it clear that he was unsuccessful, Ma Teng once again expressed his willingness to go with the envoy to the place where Han Sui was, and accept the reward with Han Sui there.
But the people in the envoys had smiles on their faces, but they were not polite in their words. Their attitude was very clear. This time, the reward was to call Han Sui over and give the reward together in Ma Teng.
Facing the envoy's strong attitude, Ma Teng's face turned ugly.
Ma Chao's complexion turned completely dark.
He listened for a long time, and by this time he could no longer bear it any longer.
He slammed the table and stood up, pulled out the sword from his waist with a stumble, took a few steps forward and came to a place less than three steps in front of the envoy, pointed the sharp sword at the envoy and said: "When is it now?"
, you still dare to say such words? Want to sow discord here?
Chang'an is in big trouble. Are you asking me to wait for you here now? How dare you speak so brazenly here?
If you dare to hide evil intentions like this again, I will kill you in an instant!
My father has a good temper, but that doesn't mean the sword in my hand also has a good temper."
Faced with Ma Chao's sudden outburst, everyone on the messenger team present looked surprised.
Someone had already straightened up and made a counterattack gesture.
People on Ma Teng's side were also a little surprised.
However, Ma Teng, who was sitting over there, did not speak, but just watched quietly, looking unkind.
He also intended to let his eldest son take action to scare these people.
Let these people recognize the reality and not be led by the other party.
After these envoys arrived, Ma Teng felt more relaxed.
He waited for the result he wanted most.
This result is also what Han Sui wants most.
Dong Zhuo, from the very beginning, had already pointed the finger at his own side and was about to attack Liangzhou.
Everything he did after that was also preparation for the attack on Liangzhou.
But a series of things happened later.
Chang'an seemed overwhelmed.
He had been a little worried before that it was Chang'an who was acting and harboring evil intentions.
As soon as the envoy who conferred official posts with him and Han Sui came over, he was immediately convinced that everything he said before was true.
Things are really tight in Chang'an.
Otherwise, according to Dong Zhuo's character, he would never send anyone to offer him an official title or reward.
This kind of operation is actually to make peace with myself and others, not to start a war with myself and others!
At least for a short period of time, he would not start a war with himself and others.
In Ma Teng's view, the initiative has now come to his and others' side.
In this case, Dong Zhuo, who is struggling, should have the consciousness to come and ask for help!
At this time, the opponent is aggressive, and he doesn't mind if the people on his side fight back.
Under Ma Teng's gaze, the envoy Zhengshi, who was pointed at by the angry Ma Chao with a long sword, did not move much.
He didn't show any signs of defense.
Just like that, he calmly raised his head and looked at Ma Chao, who was coming with a sword.
After a pause, the official smiled and said, "Young man, don't be so arrogant."
Ma Chao held his sword and scolded: "How can you be called a young man if you are not angry?!"
Zhengshi laughed when he heard this: "You have given birth to a good son. With this son, it will not be easy for your Ma family to fall..."
He said this to Ma Teng.
When Ma Teng heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
He really thinks highly of his eldest son.
Although this guy has a certain amount of flattery, it does not affect his mood to get better.
However, Ma Teng did not speak, but quietly watched the development of the matter.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you whether you should do things according to my father's wishes or not!"
Ma Chao looked at this man and whispered.
This official history is really not scary.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Impossible."
Ma Chao was furious.
"We have seen that your plan is nothing more than to sow discord. What's the point of insisting on making people laugh at this time?
You are here this time to ask for help, so you should act appropriately."
Ma Chao looked at this man and spoke with an evil look. The sharp tip of the sword in his hand almost pierced the Zhengshi's chest.
This official was not wearing any armor and could easily be pierced through the chest by a sharp blade.
Zhengshi's expression remained unchanged and he said, "Who told you that I came here to ask for something?"
Hearing this, Ma Chao chuckled and said, "Don't force yourself to quibble. Don't think that we don't know what happened in Chang'an."
Zhengshi smiled and said: "Are you talking about Emperor Liu's dismissal from military power?
Uncle Liu Huang is the grandson-in-law of Grand Master Dong, so he married his granddaughter. Do you think Grand Master Dong will really remove him from military power?"
Ma Chao's expression changed after hearing this.
Then he said coldly: "So what? I don't care what happens in Chang'an, and I don't care who you are in Chang'an. If you come here now, even if you are a tiger, you have to lie with me!"
Zhengshi smiled and shook his head and said: "This is impossible. I come on behalf of the Han Dynasty and Grand Master Dong. I must be strong."
Ma Chao's expression became even more gloomy: "I am showing off my power of words here. Do you think that the sword in my hand will be disadvantageous?"
As he spoke, he leaned forward and his whole body looked particularly intimidating and aggressive.
Zhengshi smiled and said: "The sword in your hand is naturally sharp, but I bet you don't dare to stab me."
"You thief, you insulted me like this! Go to hell!"
Ma Chao immediately became furious after hearing this.
He originally wanted to intimidate this guy, but now he was put in a difficult position.
Being stimulated like this, his face suddenly turned red. This was the time when he needed face the most.
It broke out immediately.
He shouted loudly, and pointed the sword in his hand at Zhengshi's chest, about to stab it.
"Stop! Meng Qi!"
Of course, his kind of stabbing is the kind where he first puts his sword back and then stabs forward.
Ma Teng, who had been sitting there silently watching the developments, drank aloud.
Hearing his father's shout, Ma Chao stopped.
The tip of the sword in his hand was less than an inch away from Masashi's chest.
"Grandpa!"
Ma Chao looked at Ma Teng unwillingly and shouted loudly.
"Go back to where you were!"
Ma Teng glared at Ma Chao and scolded him.
Ma Chao went back angrily, looking at the envoy with a look that seemed capable of cannibalism.
Zhengzhi didn't care about this.
"The dog is young and energetic, so please don't be offended."
Zhengshi chuckled and said: "It's still the same sentence. If you don't have a lot of energy, can you still call yourself a young man?"
Ma Teng said: "Wen Yue and I are sworn brothers, not real brothers, but better than real brothers. We need to support each other in the future.
I will not do anything that harms our relationship. Please understand and put away some thoughts and plans that you shouldn't have.
These are of little use.
I won’t do what you said.”
Ma Teng is quite candid.
The envoy smiled and said: "If that's the case, I will find a guide and send my men to meet Wen and make an appointment on my own. There is no need for Shoucheng to send troops and horses to escort him."
Ma Chao couldn't help but said sternly: "There is a lot of chaos here in Liangzhou, don't let the thieves stop you!"
Zhengshi smiled and said: "If you cut it off, just cut it off..."
Ma Teng didn't express too much of his own opinions on this matter, so he tacitly agreed to do this...
"Grandpa, why can't we kill those guys?
From this person coming, we can tell that there is really some trouble in Chang'an. We will definitely fight against the Dong thief in the future. If this is the case, why can't we take action and kill this person, but watch the other side here?
Show off your power?"
After the meeting, Ma Chao looked angry when Ma Teng said this.
Ma Teng smiled and said: "Of course I want to get the official position of Jincheng Prefect for free. No matter what, Dong Dong represents the Han Dynasty and the court at this time.
With him as the governor of Jincheng, it will be much more convenient and more logical to do things in the future."
Ma Teng and Han Sui were both famous and powerful. At this time, they actually controlled most of Liangzhou.
But in real terms, it still has the nature of being an anti-thief.
The official position sent by Dong Zhuo can be said to have eliminated this adverse influence.
Ma Teng continued: "After taking over the official position, we can confuse Chang'an and make them think that we don't want to send troops to Guanzhong, and we can make them take it lightly.
Then, if we suddenly launch an attack, we can catch the opponent off guard.
Maybe he can accomplish miraculous feats."
After hearing this, Ma Chao became much calmer.
"Uncle, that man said today that Liu and Dong didn't have a falling out. What do you think?"
Ma Dai suddenly asked.
Ma Teng said with a smile: "That person deliberately said it to disturb our hearing and tell us not to send troops at this time.
If the two didn't really fall out, wouldn't it be better if Chang'an just concealed the news?
But time has really come to a head, and releasing Liu Cheng and Liu Kede can give me a surprise.
If you say it at this time, it must be because the two of you are not getting along.
Also, according to Dong Zhuo's strength, under such circumstances, if there is no estrangement between the Liu thieves and the Dong thieves, and he directly divides his troops into several groups to meet the enemy, facing Guandong and us at the same time, the problem will not be
How big.
But at this time, he sent people to come to us to surrender and seek peace.
This explains a lot of problems.”
Ma Dai originally felt that something was wrong here. But after listening to what his uncle said, he felt that what his uncle said was very reasonable.
He saw his cousin Ma Chao again, looking like he wanted to fight, so he stopped talking about this matter.
"Master, do you want to send someone to intercept and kill the men sent by that man on the road?"
Ma Chao asked out loud.
Ma Teng shook his head and said: "No need, I have done and said everything that needs to be done and said, so don't create extraneous matters at this time.
Let them go, I will send fast horses to get to Wen Yue in advance and inform Wen Yue of what happened here..."
…
"This is too much!
What a deception!
Why should the lord go to Ma Teng to receive the title?!"
At Han Sui's place, someone was slapping his thigh and shouting curses...
