Chapter 851: Right in the Middle
Ma Yunlu!
Ma Dai looked stunned, but he didn't want his eldest brother to suddenly mention the little sister who had been captured for a long time at this critical moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After being stunned, Ma Dai had to say: "The foolish brother is only afraid of long dreams at night, so he left in a hurry, and he didn't have time to visit the little sister, but I heard that the little sister has been taken by Emperor Wei in the army, and she eats and drinks well, and treats the little sister as courtesy." ”
Hearing that his sister was still alive, Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, his frowning brows relaxed, and there seemed to be an idea brewing between his eyebrows.
After a little silence, Ma Chao said: "Ziyue, you can go and convey the meaning of being a brother to Emperor Wei, and I, Ma Chao, can lead the Ma clan to submit to him, or I can go to the soup for him, and I will not give up, but he has to promise me a condition." ”
Condition?
Ma Dai frowned slightly, and asked, "What conditions does the eldest brother want to offer to Emperor Wei?" ”
After drinking the wine in the cup, Ma Chao said solemnly: "My conditions are also very simple, as long as Emperor Wei can canonize Yunlu as a concubine, I will promise to surrender Kaicheng, otherwise, I, Ma Chao, would rather burn the jade than bow to him." ”
Ma Dai's body was shocked, and he was stunned for a moment, with that unexpected and surprised expression, obviously he didn't expect that his eldest brother would put forward such a condition.
He originally thought that Ma Chao would ask the potters for officials and knights, or the next Danshu iron coupon, promising that he would not settle accounts after the autumn.
He didn't expect that Ma Chao would neither care nor make any promise of exoneration, and would ask the potters to canonize their sister Ma Yunlu as their concubine.
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie on the left and right were also stunned, and they didn't understand Ma Chao's intentions.
"I believe that the Lord of Wei has a superior bearing, and I also believe that he really wants to accept my Ma clan, but the so-called heavenly heart is unpredictable, if the world is peaceful in the future, when the horse is released in Nanshan, Emperor Wei's mind may not change, if at that time he remembers our old days as ministers of the Qin State, and against him, and then wants to settle accounts with our Ma clan, do we still have any room for resistance?"
Ma Chao spoke earnestly and expressed his concerns.
The three brothers of Ma Dai, after hearing his explanation, all looked moved, and suddenly realized.
They understood that their brother was worried that Emperor Wei's holy decree would be unpredictable and his attitude towards his Ma family would change in the future, so they insisted on making Wei Di's sister a concubine, so that their Ma family would become a relative of the emperor in one fell swoop.
Now that the Ma family has become a relative of the Son of Heaven, even if the sacred heart changes in the future, remembering the old grievances, and wanting to do something to the Ma family, I am afraid that they will also take care of the relationship between relatives.
If their little sister can compete for some gas, and then give birth to a prince for the Son of Heaven, then Ma Yunlu's position in the palace will be more stable, and Ma Yunlu's position will be stable, then the status of their Ma family will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai, and they don't have to worry all day long, worrying that they will be settled by the queen in the future.
"Big brother, this is a very good proposal." Ma Dai nodded in agreement, "I heard from the people in Wei Yingzhong that His Majesty has always been good to the little sister, and maybe he can really agree to the condition offered by the eldest brother." ”
Ma Tie said: "If this is naturally the best, I am afraid that our little sister will be very stubborn, and I am afraid that she will not be sure to agree." ”
"That's right, my little sister's temper, I'm really afraid of ......" Ma Dai was worried again.
Ma Chao flicked his hand and said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the survival of my Ma family, I can't help her to play tricks, Ziyue, if the little sister doesn't agree, you have to persuade her to agree, it's up to you." ”
Ma Dai was helpless, so he had to sigh: "Okay, the foolish brother can only do his best." ”
At the moment, the plan had been decided, and Ma Yue didn't dare to stay too long, and after resting for one night, the next day he left Loufu City with the conditions set out by Ma Chao, and went to the Wei army camp.
……
The camp of the Wei army, the imperial tent.
At dawn the next day, when the potters were listening to the battle report on Jizhou, the Imperial Forest Sergeant reported that Nama Dai had gone and returned, and was asking to see him.
"Come back so quickly, is it possible that Ma Chao was persuaded by him so happily......" The potter was a little unconvinced, and passed the warrant to Ma Dai.
After a while, Ma Dai stepped in, bowed down to the mouth of the potter, and arched his hand: "The minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has persuaded his brother to surrender in Kaicheng, submit to the Great Wei, and go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will not hesitate to do anything." ”
The potter's spirit perked up, his eyes were delighted and surprised, and he waved his hand to signal Ma Dai to flatten his body, "Ma Mengqi is so aware of the righteousness and descends so quickly, this really surprises me." ”
Ma Dai stood up and coughed a few times, but the corners of his mouth raised a touch of bitterness, "Back to Your Majesty, my brother, he really wants to submit to Your Majesty, but he also made a small request, and I hope Your Majesty can grant it." ”
Really......
The potter sneered secretly, he knew that Ma Chao was born with a proud temperament and was not so easy to surrender, so he waved his hand and said: "Tell me, what conditions Brother Ling proposed, as long as he does not violate my bottom line, I will agree to him." ”
"That's right, ahem-"
Ma Dai seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after a while, he said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "My brother said, my sister has been captured by Your Majesty for a long time, and there are already many rumors outside that damage your little sister's reputation, so my brother thinks about my little sister's reputation and wants to ask Your Majesty to accept your little sister Yunlu as a concubine, then my brother and my Ma clan will sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths for Your Majesty, and they will never give up." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Great Wei Wenwu present was all surprised, and even the potters were surprised for a while, quite surprised.
Obviously, the pottery merchant and the ministers thought that Ma Chao would want to make the official Xu Jue's will, but they didn't expect that Ma Chao didn't want anything, and he had to give his sister to the pottery merchant as a concubine.
"It's just a matter of surrendering me to serve me, and you have to take the initiative to give my sister to my concubine, Ma Chao, what is the situation with you, did you send yourself and sister, you are so generous......"
The potter secretly sighed with novelty, and glanced at Zhang Liang, but saw that he was gently shaking the feather fan, squinting his eyes, and smiling meaningfully.
Seeing Zhang Liang's smile, the potter's mind turned, and he suddenly realized and understood Ma Chao's intentions.
The potter couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: "Ma Chao, Ma Chao, it seems that you are much smarter than ordinary generals, you are afraid that you will settle accounts after the autumn, so you have to get yourself a gold medal for avoiding death......
Although he saw through Ma Chao's intentions, he did not feel the slightest displeasure, on the contrary, Ma Chao's condition made the potter secretly happy.
The reason is very simple, this condition is right in his arms.
For Ma Yunlu, the potter not only likes her beauty, but also appreciates her lioness-like character, and most importantly, for the added value of her marriage force, he is even more ambitious.
It is precisely for this reason that even if Ma Chao does not mention this condition, he will marry Ma Yunlu sooner or later and accept him as his concubine.
And what the potter is worried about now is that Ma Yunlu, the little lioness, has a too strong personality, far more difficult to tame than Zhu Rong and others, and when he was having a headache, Ma Chao took the initiative to propose this family business, which is equivalent to helping the potter solve this problem.
Not only can you get the beauty back, get the additional force value of the marriage, but also get Ma Chao, a hundred generals, and the surrender of the Ma family, such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, it is strange that the pottery merchant is not secretly happy.
Thinking of this, the pottery merchant did not hesitate much, and said happily: "As long as your Ma clan is willing to return to the Great Wei, what if I accept Ling Mei as a concubine, I have agreed to this condition." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Dai was overjoyed, and he was busy bowing to the ground to thank him, but he said: "It's just that my brother still has a small request, if Your Majesty can be outside the city, this big camp will be canonized, and the sister will be accepted as a concubine, so as to show Your Majesty's kindness, my brother will be able to better persuade those who are worried in the army, and he will be able to open the city and return to obedience faster and smoother." ”
This Ma Chao is really anxious......
The potter was laughing secretly, he knew that Ma Chao was afraid that his words would not count, so he wanted to let him accept his sister as his sister first, and after ensuring that nothing went wrong, he would open the city and surrender.
Ma Chao did this, which was more in line with the potter's wishes, and he also wished that he would immediately obtain the additional force value of marriage on Ma Yunlu's body.
"Okay, I also agreed to this request, I will accept Yunlu as a concubine first, and it will not be too late for him to go out of the city and return to obedience." The potter waved his hand and readily agreed.
Ma Dai never expected that the potter agreed so happily, he was surprised and delighted, he was busy and knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and thanked the potter.
After finalizing the terms of surrender, the potter remembered that the most critical part of the whole thing had not yet been completed:
Ma Yunlu's attitude.
It's useless for Ma Chao to be willing, it's useless for him to agree, he must let Ma Yunlu be willingly accepted as a concubine by himself in order to get the additional force value on her body, otherwise even if she is forced to nod and agree, but she is unwilling in her heart, it is useless.
Thinking of this, the pottery merchant said: "But there is another thing to say ahead, I have never been a strong person, I will not ignore Sister Ling's wishes and force her to be a concubine because Brother Ling is willing, in the final analysis, she has to be willing." ”
"Well, this ......" Ma Dai also came back to his senses from the surprise, calmed down a little, and then arched his hand and said: "The sister has a strong temper, even if it is the eldest brother's words, she sometimes dares not to listen, but she has always respected the cousin of the minister, and can listen to a few words, the minister is willing to persuade her, and please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”
The potter nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "Then you can persuade her, the survival of your Ma family depends on how much weight your brother's words have in her heart." ”
The implication of the potter's words is that if Ma Dai persuaded Ma Yunlu, if he was persuaded not to move, and Ma Chao refused to open the city and surrender, he would order the army to raze the city of Lou Fucheng, together with his Ma clan.
"The minister will do his best to convince the little sister." Ma Dai secretly shivered on his back, and he was busy retreating.
The potter flicked his hand and ordered him to take him to see Ma Yunlu.
Ma Dai retreated, out of the emperor's tent, the morning breeze blew on his back, and he couldn't help but tremble, only to realize that the potter Fang Cai's murderous words actually made him quietly soak in a layer of cold sweat.
"How to convince the little sister, her strong and stubborn character is really not easy to persuade......" Ma Dai went all the way to Ma Yunlu's big tent, frowning all the way, pondering words of persuasion.
A moment later, he came to the tent, which was guarded by a group of female soldiers, and the guards explained their intentions to the female soldiers, and they gave way to it.
"Little sister, little sister, the life and death of my Ma clan are all in your hands, I hope you won't be so stubborn......"
Ma Dai took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and walked inside.
