Ma Chao turned around and left. As soon as he went out, his mind couldn't help but recall Ying Zige and others he met in Beiyuan because of this alliance.
After all, Ying Zige overestimated the courage and credibility of the young Ma Chao at this time. After picking up his three hundred fine cavalry, Ma Chao issued a hush order. After he returned home, he just made light of the matter.
After that, although Ma Teng was aware of it, out of his trust in his tiger and the fetters of other things, he calmly revealed the Beiyuan incident. After all, although Beiyuan has the benefits of medicinal materials, it does not
Territory, soldiers and horses are important.
This is why Wang Feng repeatedly contacted the person in charge of the Ma family, but received no response at all.
Ma Chao thought about Ying Zige and others, and then thought about Yan Xing and Han Sui. He couldn't help curling his lips and muttering secretly.
"If I had known that we were all going to form an alliance, it would be better to form an alliance with those guys. Huh! The guys who are tricking people on the battlefield and the whole family are not good people. My father will form an alliance with them. No, I have to go to Brother Lingming to discuss it.
"
Ma Chao wanted to be more and more worried about Yan Xing and others, but the deal was already done at this time. Ma Chao still had a very clear idea of his father's temper, even though Ma Teng was usually kind to his family.
But once it involves a major matter, and it is a major matter that he has already made up his mind, it will not be easy for anyone to do. At this time, forming an alliance with the Han family to fight against Dong Zhuo is a big deal for Ma Teng.
"snort!"
Ma Chao was thinking wildly as he walked towards Pang De's residence.
Suddenly he snorted, but he thought that Ma Jin, who had returned with him at that time, did not dissuade him.
"Huh! If only Ma Jin had persuaded me to tell my father the truth earlier. Huh, what a waste!"
Ma Jin can be regarded as an innocent man. As an intermediary sent to the Ma family by Ying Zige, he was a martial arts general trained by the Meng family since childhood.
Originally, doing internal affairs was considered a career change, but due to his cautious character, some luck, and the help of Ying Zige, Ma Jin successfully penetrated into the Ma family and gained a certain amount of trust from Ma Teng.
However, what happened before put him at risk of being exposed. Fortunately, Ying Zige asked Luo Wang to help in time and cleared the cover, so the secret was not exposed. However, it also made Ma Chao feel unhappy and alienated from him. Under such circumstances, he
I can only protect myself wisely and choose to hide temporarily.
On the one hand, it reduces Ma Chao's hostility, and on the other hand, it further weakens his own sense of existence.
After all, as an insider, being high-profile is sometimes tantamount to suicide.
Four days have passed since Ma Teng and Han Sui's five-day appointment. Tomorrow is the time when the two will meet in Shicheng to marry Jinlan and make a covenant.
The Shicheng County Magistrate, who had already received news from both sides, ordered people to sort out two open grasslands three miles east of Shicheng three days ago and set up countless tents to await the arrival of armies from both sides.
On the fifth day of the morning, early in the morning, the Shicheng County Magistrate came to the grassland with the county captain, county magistrate and other Shicheng officials to wait.
The breeze rustled, and I felt at a loss.
This is the state of the officials in Shicheng at this time. The Han Dynasty is about to fall, and all the heroes are rising together.
What's more, in a remote wasteland like Liangzhou, the majesty of the Han Dynasty has been almost wiped out here, and the only thing left is the weak and the strong, and the strong is respected.
As for Han Sui and Ma Teng, there is no doubt that they are the two strongest wolves in Liangzhou at this time. One of them is already unscrupulous enough, let alone the two coming together.
The officials had complicated thoughts, thinking about the purpose of the Han and Ma families coming, but they were left at a loss.
After all, the alliance between the Han family and the Ma family is not important information that ordinary people can easily know.
The grassland is vast and the breeze blows slowly.
Two torrents slowly appeared in the distance.
The Ma family's 20,000 cavalry and the Han family's 15,000 elite cavalry appeared in the eyes of the officials in Shicheng almost at the same time.
"Tap tap tap tap!"
Thousands of horses galloped, and after a moment two torrents came in front of the crowd, lined up on the left and right, with flags flying.
Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other from a distance in the crowd, then jumped off their horses and walked towards each other. Yan Xing rode his horse directly in front of a group of Shicheng officials, stopped Ma and Han when he saw them, and wanted to lead a group of people.
The magistrate of Shicheng County came forward to greet the officials.
"My lord, we have important matters to discuss. Please take people back with you!"
"this"
The Shicheng County Magistrate, who was about to step forward with a smile on his face, gradually stiffened after hearing Yan Xing's words. He looked at the two armies in front of him and gurgled a smile.
"Sir, you should do this if you have something to do. I will take you away right now."
He turned around, with a livid look on his face, and rode away with a group of subordinate officials.
Ma Teng was dressed as a hedgehog, and Han Sui was wearing a brocade robe. In a moment, they arrived at the central open space between the armies of both sides.
The two looked at each other carefully, and after a while, they laughed almost at the same time.
"Jincheng Han Sui!"
"Wuwei Ma Teng!"
After saluting and signing up, Ma Teng was the first to speak: "Brother Han Gaozhi, what do you think of what is said in a certain family's letter?"
Han Sui said with a smile: "Brother Ma Teng, I have foreseen that Liangzhou is in chaos now and Dong Zhuo has moved westward. It is like an evil tiger feeding on the side. If you and I are two families, we will both benefit from cooperation, but we will both lose from fighting."
Brother Ma Teng is planning for me in Liangzhou, how can Yu An refuse to follow me?"
"Haha! Well said! We Liangzhou people should be our own advisers for Liangzhou. Although Dong Zhuo rose up in our land of Liangzhou, he has been fascinated by the prosperity of the capital and has forgotten that we, the elders of Liangzhou, are like this
How can an ungrateful person be allowed to control Liangzhou again?" As soon as Han Sui finished speaking, Ma Teng laughed boldly and spoke angrily.
"What brother Ma Teng said is true. The two families are united, and Han Sui is willing to regard him as his elder brother and work together to conspire in big things." Han Sui took over the words and said to Ma Teng with a serious and solemn face.
The morning light is as calm as running water, and the gentle breeze is blowing over the green grass.
As soon as he spoke, the entire grassland fell into silence.
Ma Teng's tiger eyes flickered, flashing with brilliance, and he glanced left and right at the person in front of him.
The Yellow River has nine bends, and the kingdom seeks its master.
He started the Qiang rebellion three times, and dared to lift the tiger's beard again and again when the Ling Emperor was still there and the might of the Han Dynasty was still there. He even managed to get to where he is today through several battles.
He can be called the semi-lord of Liangzhou and is deeply trusted by the Qiang people in Liangzhou.
Ma Teng believed that as long as the other party was willing, an army of 100,000 Qiang people could definitely be gathered.
Ma Teng had already prepared to assist him in this alliance, but he did not expect that Han Sui was indeed worthy of the name of the Nine-Meandering Yellow River, and it was difficult to guess what he was thinking.
With his thoughts at this point, Ma Teng simply stopped thinking about it. It was just a situation where the soldiers came to block the water and cover it up with the earth. What's more, in the current situation, both of them knew the pros and cons of separation and reunification.
With a smile on his face, Ma Teng waved his hand boldly and replied loudly: "Okay, you and I are brothers and conspire together for great things. Heaven and earth will learn from it. Anyone who violates this will be punished with this sword."
With a sound of "Bang!", Ma Teng pulled out the long sword from his waist. The golden aura on his body disappeared in a flash, and the sword that had been tempered for thousands of times was broken into two pieces.
"This is the sword!" Han Sui's eyes flashed with color, but he echoed in agreement.
