Chapter 17 Pick up Ma Tie and return to Jincheng
At this time, Ma Tie had already woken up, and he didn't know that his father had died, so he was eating the meal prepared for him by Ma Chao with relish.
"Little Iron"
"Big brother, why are you here?"
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just coming to see you" Ma Chao said with a wry smile, but that smile was a little reluctant, he knew Ma Chao and Ma Tie very well, and he couldn't hide his words.
"Big brother, what's wrong, you say"
Ma Tie put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with Ma Chao.
Ma Chao is also a straightforward person, he speaks straightforwardly, and when he saw Ma Tie asking, he didn't hide it, and said with a bitter face, "My father was killed by Han Sui on the Tianshui City Wall today." "What" Ma Tie heard this, like a thunderbolt from the sky, "How is it possible, how could my father be killed by Han Sui" Ma Tie said in disbelief, but in his heart he knew that Ma Chao would not lie, but he couldn't accept the news that his strict father left like this for a while.
"Bang" Ma Tie's small fist slammed on the dining table, and said to Ma Chao, "Big brother, we will send troops to take revenge now"
"I didn't want to take revenge, but right now Han Sui has 200,000 troops, and we only have tens of thousands of troops, how can we be Han Sui's opponent, if you attack rashly, it will be a moth to the fire and there is no return. ”
"Big brother, are you afraid" Ma Tie heard Ma Chao's words, paused for a moment, and said with an ugly face.
"What do you say, I, Ma Chao, will be afraid, but have you thought about it, if we fail to take revenge this time, then who will avenge our father, so we have to gather momentum, give Han Sui a fatal blow at the critical moment, and eliminate Han Sui in one fell swoop" Ma Chao listened to Ma Tie's words, his face was also pale, and he said loudly to Ma Tie.
When Ma Tie heard this, he knew that he had misunderstood his eldest brother, "Big brother, you say, what to do, the younger brother will definitely support you."
"Okay, that's what I'm talking about Ma Chao's younger brother" Ma Chao patted Ma Tie on the shoulder and said, and then said again, "By the way, Xiaotie, did you rescue Mother and Lu'er."
When Ma Tie heard this, he lowered his head and said ashamedly, "Big brother, Xiao Tie is useless, he didn't save his mother, sister and clansmen."
"So what did you do in town?"
Ma Chao was a little puzzled about who rescued his family
"Big brother, I lurked in Tianshui for three days, and I contacted my father the day before you came to Tianshui, and then made a rescue plan, but when you went to talk to Han Sui outside Tianshui City, I went to the place where my father and mother lived, and I saw that those rooms were empty, and finally after some investigation, I found out that it was Liang Xing's dog thief who took his mother. My sister and the clansmen went to the south gate and went out of the city, and I couldn't get out of the city gate, so I don't know where Han Xing went, and then when you fought with Han Sui's army, I took the opportunity to set fire to various granaries in Tianshui City, and then retreated, and was chased by Han Chao halfway, and then fought with him, and finally General Pang De came to the rescue, I fainted, and here I am."
After listening to Ma Tie's experience, Ma Chao no longer blamed Ma Tie for being incompetent, looking at Ma Tie's head down, Ma Chao said, "Okay, I don't blame you for this, you rest now, and tomorrow bring some information about Liang Xing and Han Sui in Han Sui's forces, remember to find out the news of your family."
"Got it, big brother, don't worry, I won't let you down, tomorrow after burying my father, I'll go"
"Well, you rest first, I'll go first," Ma Chao said and left Ma Tie's room.
Ma Tie did not go to rest after surpassing Ma Tie's room, and went directly to Pound's residence.
"Young master, why are you here so late?"
"Ling Ming doesn't have to be polite, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, it's just that I just learned from Xiao Tie that my family has been taken out of Tianshui by Liang Xing, and I don't know where to go, so let you analyze what we should do next."
"Well, from the perspective of subordinates, if it is Liang Xing who rescues your family, then the safety of your family will be guaranteed, on the contrary, the situation in Jincheng is more complicated now, first of all, you must bury the lord, and then take over the power of the lord, and accelerate the development of the territory north of Liangzhou in order to deal with Han Sui's offensive."
"What do you mean by dealing with Han Sui's offensive?" Ma Chao listened to Pang De's analysis, nodded constantly, and when he heard Ma Teng say that he would rectify the territory and prevent Han Sui's offensive, Ma Chao was a little puzzled, so he asked.
"Young master, Han Sui's personality has been revealed through the lord's matter, with his character of hoeing and rooting, he will not let the young master live his life, he will definitely lead the army to Jincheng as soon as possible, and Jincheng is Han Sui's lair, he must have a hole card here, so the young master should rectify it as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Ma Chao nodded continuously, "Thanks to Ling Ming here, otherwise I almost missed a big thing, since Ling Ming, the head of your analysis is the Tao, then the matter of dealing with Han Sui will be left to you Otherwise, I will deal with my father's funeral."
"Don't worry, young master, your subordinates will definitely let the lord go with peace of mind"
"Okay, I'm relieved to have Ling Ming's words, it's getting late now, I won't disturb Ling Ming, you are resting," Ma Chao said, ignoring Pang De's retention and leaving Pang De's residence.
On the second day, just after dawn, Ma Chao was anxious about all the generals and ministers, gathered in the Jincheng General's Mansion, at the meeting, proposed by Pang De, others echoed, Ma Chao took over the power of Ma Teng, called himself General Zhengxi, and his Pang De, Ma Xiu, Ma Dai, Ma Wan, Ma Tie, Hou Xuan, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi and other Ma Teng's previous generals also had their own rewards. After rewarding everyone, Ma Chao ordered Pang De to take full charge of important military and political affairs, and Ma Chao himself took a few younger brothers to start the funeral of his father Ma Teng with great fanfare.
Ma Teng was killed, shocking the world.
Ma Teng has made great contributions, and his reputation has long spread all over the world, and now it is rumored that Ma Teng was killed by his own righteous brothers, and some loyal people are indignant, and it is because Ma Teng was killed by Han Sui, Zhang Ji in Chang'an also took the opportunity to lead the troops to Tianshui under the slogan of avenging General Fubo, so that Han Sui, who was ready to solve Ma Chao, was caught off guard, so he gave up the plan to attack Ma Chao and changed it to defend Zhang Ji, and when Han Sui defended Zhang Ji, in the stability north of Liangzhou, Ma Teng's original general Liang Xing also raised a banner to revolt, under the slogan of revenge for the Lord, and Han Sui took advantage of the previous Liang Xing's betrayal of Ma Teng to say things, and Liang Xing was a step ahead, denied betraying Ma Teng at the beginning, and said that he was pretending to betray on Ma Teng's orders, and Ma Teng's family as proof.
Liang Xing rescued Ma Teng's family from Tianshui, and some of his sons proved their innocence, and when Ma Chao Pang De got Han Sui's containment by Liang Xing and Zhang Ji, on the one hand, he sent someone to contact Liang Xing, and on the other hand, he buried his father, and at the same time asked Pang De to speed up the rectification of the territory.
Just when Guannei and Liangzhou were in trouble, there were also wars in the Central Plains, Yuan Shu called the emperor, undoubtedly seeking his own death, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's coalition army was like a bamboo, Yuan Shu's territory was lost, and in Jingzhou Jiangdong Xiaobawang actually took his army to begin to avenge his father, and found Liu Biao's trouble, because the two sides are separated by the Yangtze River, so there are more water battles, each has a victory or defeat, and Tao Qian has no action.
