When Wang Can learned that Ma Teng was leading his troops to kill him, he directly ordered the army to stop advancing, station down, and wait for Ma Teng.
In a day and a half, Ma Teng led his troops and set up camp ten miles away from Wang Can's camp.
The two armies faced each other, but no one took the lead in attacking.
Although Ma Teng agreed to Liu Xie's willingness to send troops, he was worried about Ma Chao's safety. Because once he and Wang Can broke up, Ma Chao's safety could not be guaranteed, so Ma Teng just perfunctory Liu Xie and pretended to agree.
However, it is impossible for Ma Teng to actually lead the troops to fight Wang Can. There is no doubt that Ma Teng is loyal to Liu Xie, and he can lead the troops to fight regardless of his own life. But now Ma Chao's life depends on Ma Teng's thoughts.
For the sake of his son's life, he would definitely not lead the troops to fight. Instead, he would like to calm down and negotiate with Wang Can.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Ma Teng sat on the main seat, with the generals of the army standing below.
Ma Teng asked loudly: "Everyone, my son Meng Qi was detained by Wang Can. Do you have any way to rescue him?"
After the words fell, I saw a general standing at the back stood up and said loudly: "My lord, if you want to rescue the eldest son, you can immediately send troops to attack Wang Can. As long as our army can severely damage Wang Can and defeat him,
Already..."
"boom!"
As soon as General Xiang finished speaking, Ma Teng grabbed the bamboo slips on the desk and threw them over, hitting General Jiang on the head.
Ma Teng snorted and cursed: "You are a pig brain. Meng Qi was detained in the camp by Wang Can and became a hostage. And you actually want me to lead troops to attack Wang Can. You think my son will live longer."
, I want Wang Can to take action as soon as possible. Huh, pay attention to this bullshit, get out of here, and reflect on it, you look like a human, but you actually have a pig’s brain.”
After a pause, Ma Teng said angrily: "Tell me what you think."
One of the captains clasped his fists and said: "My lord, I think you can send a soldier to Wang Can's camp and ask him to come out to talk and discuss things face to face. In order to show your sincerity, my lord can negotiate in the middle of the two camps, so that both parties can
Don’t worry, it’s possible to save the eldest young master.”
After hearing this, Ma Teng nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether this idea is feasible or not, it still sounds very reasonable.
Ma Teng immediately made the decision and said, "Okay, I agree, and that's how it will be done."
After the words fell, another general stood up, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, if the negotiation just made is successful, it will be easy to handle. If it fails and the eldest son cannot be rescued, what will my lord do?"
Ma Teng was too lazy to answer and asked directly: "What suggestions do you have?"
The general said seriously: "My lord, based on the last general's advice, I pretended to agree to Wang Can's withdrawal from Chang'an and rescue the eldest son."
Ma Teng nodded and said: "The suggestion is good. It is pertinent and I have put a lot of thought into it. Unlike the person who just made the suggestion, he ignored Meng Qi's safety and let me attack Wang Can. It is too childish.
It’s so sloppy. It’s just a matter of beating and killing without thinking. You’re an idiot.”
After a pause, Ma Teng shouted: "Here comes someone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came over and bowed to Ma Teng.
Just when Ma Teng was about to speak, there were rapid footsteps outside the camp, and then there was a rapid roar: "Report!" The voice was urgent and anxious, and it was obvious that there was something important.
Ma Teng temporarily suppressed what he was about to say and shouted: "Come in!"
After the words fell, a soldier quickly ran in, knelt on the ground with one knee, and held a bow and arrow in both hands. The soldier said loudly: "My lord, this is a bow and arrow that was just shot into the camp from outside the camp. There is also a bow and arrow tied to it."
Please read this letter, my lord." The soldier lowered his head, waiting for Ma Teng to make a decision.
Ma Teng frowned slightly, wondering why a bow and arrow suddenly shot into the camp.
He shouted in a deep voice: "Send it up!"
The soldier held up the bow and arrow with both hands and handed it out.
After Ma Teng took the bow and arrow, he waved his hand and sent the soldiers away. Immediately, Ma Teng took off the letter tied to the bow and arrow, spread it out and read it carefully. After reading it, Ma Teng looked overjoyed and said excitedly: "Okay,
Okay, I didn’t expect that Wang Can also had the idea of negotiation. He invited me to discuss things between the two military camps, which was exactly what I wanted."
Ma Teng smiled and ordered: "Get your horses ready and go immediately five miles away to see Wang Can."
As he spoke, Ma Teng immediately walked out.
However, just when Ma Teng was about to leave, a young general stood up and said, "My lord, Wang Can is cunning. You'd better lead the soldiers to avoid any accidents."
Ma Teng looked confident and said loudly: "Since we are discussing things, why do we need to bring so many soldiers? When I talk to Wang Can, it is enough to bring only the personal guards around me. The other soldiers are stationed in the camp and are not allowed to act rashly."
.You guys wait for me to come back in the camp. If I haven’t come back after dark, launch an attack immediately and kill Wang Can directly."
"promise!"
The young general replied and sighed.
Ma Teng insisted on going alone, but the young general had no choice.
Like Ma Teng, Wang Can only brought Dian Wei and a dozen or so security guards. Dian Wei carried two sharp and translucent iron halberds behind him and stood proudly behind Wang Can, like a towering hill.
At every turn, he stood behind Wang Can, with an extraordinary aura and full of power.
In the center of the official road, a canopy as big as a millstone was erected to block the sun.
Below, set up this small table and seats.
Wang Can was sitting in the middle of the road, with his back facing the direction of the army. He was holding a wine bottle in his hand, and he was slowly tasting wine and waiting for Ma Teng to arrive. After a long time of waiting for Ma Teng, Wang Can filled the bottle.
He handed the wine to Dian Wei and said, "Tiger, the weather is a bit hot. Let's have a glass of wine to quench our thirst."
Dian Wei shook his head and said: "My lord, I will never be thirsty!"
After finishing speaking, Dian Wei continued to stand behind Wang Can without moving his body.
Wang Can smiled slightly, but did not persuade Dian Wei. Normally, Dian Wei drank more ferociously than anyone else, but now when he was protecting his safety, he did not drink at all, which showed that Dian Wei was careful and conscientious in his work. The two of them just sat together like this.
, one stood, quietly waiting for Ma Teng's arrival.
Time passed, and when a few small black dots appeared in the distance, Wang Can finally arrived.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the horses galloped forward.
He didn't bring many soldiers, only a dozen followers. Ma Teng saw Wang Can sitting in the middle of the official road in the distance, with a guard standing behind him. Ten steps away from Wang Can, there were only a dozen or so to protect him.
Soldiers. Seeing this scene, Ma Teng immediately ordered the more than ten soldiers behind him to stay behind and not follow him.
He got off his horse and walked towards Wang Can without any soldiers.
Going to a meeting alone is nothing more than this!
Wang Can saw Ma Teng coming and secretly said how brave he is!
He thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and said, "Tiger, please go to the back. There is no need to stay here." Dian Wei didn't say much, because he also saw Ma Teng coming alone. For someone with such courage, Dian Wei
Wei was still very impressed, so he simply retreated. The main reason was that Wang Can was very skilled in martial arts and Dian Wei didn't need to worry.
After a while, Ma Teng sat down opposite Wang Can.
The two of them sat opposite each other across a table, with a pot of wine in the center of the table.
Ma Teng didn't wait for Wang Can to speak, picked up the wine pot, filled the wine bottle in front of him, and said to Wang Can: "Wang Yizhou, I toast you this glass of wine. My son has been staying in your military camp these days.
I'm eating and drinking together, I'm causing too much trouble, please forgive me Wang Yizhou." After saying that, Ma Teng raised his neck and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
Wang Can smiled, didn't say much, and drank it all in one gulp.
The real negotiations between the two parties have not yet begun.
