"Your Majesty, do you know what General Xu Zi said about Cao Cao?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said.

"Are you talking about the sentence 'the capable minister who rules the world, the hero of the troubled times'?"

Liu Xie asked.

"Yes."

Jia Xu continued: "Xu Zi will be famous in the world for commenting on the time, and his opinion on Cao Cao is also very pertinent. ”

"On the occasion of these troubled times, Cao Cao is naturally a hero, if the world gradually calms down, what will happen to Cao Cao?"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu said: "Now there is a delicate balance between us and Cao Cao, although Cao Cao did not know that we participated in the battle of Wancheng before, but he lost his troops and lost his generals, and he was not completely jealous of Zhang Xiu. ”

"But he still adheres to the identity of Hanchen in name, and he also has suggestions for attacking Chang'an this time."

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, if we really reach the time to tear our faces with Cao Cao, our army now has 130,000 soldiers, and the Bai Bo Army and Wei Wushu are all sharp in the world, Cao is resourceful, how can we win?"

After Jia Xu finished analyzing, he looked at Liu Xie quietly.

"Sir has a point."

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "In the future, I will let Fei Lian and Evil come to be your escorts, and by the way, I will form a forbidden army, which will be dispatched by Mr." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Jia Xu hurriedly thanked him.

As his right-hand man, Liu Xie did not allow Jia Xu to have any accidents.

For the sake of Cao Cao's usefulness, and Jia Xu is safe and sound this time, I won't bother with him this time.

But it is necessary to protect Jia Xu before it happens.

Moreover, it is time for Liu Xie to organize a forbidden army.

After fighting all night last night, after Liu Association saw Jia Xu, he slept until night.

At this time, Ma Teng had already arrived in Chang'an and was waiting for the Son of Heaven outside the palace.

After Liu Xie woke up, he summoned Ma Teng and others to meet him.

"See Your Majesty!"

Ma Teng and others knelt down to the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xie looked over, Ma Teng was in the center, and on the left were Ma Chao and a woman, the woman had yellow hair, a high nose bridge, and a face of a different race.

She was dressed in armor, and on Ma Chao's side, she did not hide his sassy posture at all.

To the right of Ma Teng are two young generals.

"Your Majesty, this is the second son of the minister, Ma Xiu, and the nephew Ma Dai."

"This is Ma Yunlu, the daughter of the minister, who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and is currently serving in the army."

Ma Teng introduced.

"General Ma really opened the door, and even the woman didn't let her eyebrows."

Liu Xie said with a smile, in history, except for Ma Xiu, who was killed by Cao Cao with his father when he was in Chang'an, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Yunlu entered Shu respectively.

And Ma Yunlu married Zhao Yun as his wife.

"Aiqing sees me, is there anything important?"

Liu Xie asked.

"Your Majesty, now that Li Dao is ambushed and Guanzhong has been recovered, when will you send troops to Liangzhou?"

Ma Teng asked, he didn't take advantage of the battle with Han Sui, and after thinking about it, he decided to lead his troops to join His Majesty.

Moreover, His Majesty has canonized himself as the Assassin of Liangzhou, and nominally, Liangzhou belongs to himself.

Then Han Sui should have disappeared completely.

"Aiqing also saw that although Chang'an has been recovered, the Guanzhong region is in ruins, and I still have a lot of things to do."

Liu Xie pondered for a moment and asked, "Aiqing is in Liangzhou now, who is guarding it?" ”

"It's Pound, a subordinate of the minister, and there are currently 30,000 people."

Ma Teng replied that he had a total of 60,000 horses, 30,000 who had brought to Chang'an, and 30,000 who had stayed behind.

"30,000 people, is it enough to defend against Han Sui?"

Liu Xie asked curiously, as far as he knew, Han Sui had 100,000 troops.

"Hmmm......"

Ma Teng was a little skeptical, and then replied: "Although there are fewer soldiers, Pang De has both wisdom and bravery, and it should be fine." ”

"Aiqing, if not, you will first lead the troops back to Liangzhou to guard Han Sui, and after I am busy with the affairs here, I will lead the troops to pacify Liangzhou."

Liu Xie said with a smile, but thought in his heart, should you beat Liangzhou down and give it to your Ma family?

Liangzhou is going to be calm, but not now.

"This ......"

Ma Teng hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The minister has received the order, but 30,000 people may not be enough to defend Han Sui, please ask Your Majesty to allow the minister to bring the troops back." ”

"Okay."

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "You can take 20,000 people back, and let Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Yunlu leave 10,000 people to serve me." ”

"Yes."

Ma Teng had no choice but to agree, but there was always a feeling of being trapped.

Although it was the first time he had seen the Son of Heaven, he was so sophisticated that he didn't look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy at all.

"If it's okay, let's disperse."

Liu Xie was ready to start the formation of the forbidden army, so he left first.

Ma Teng's father and son walked out of the palace, and along the way, Ma Teng was thinking.

"Father, do you really want to take the troops back to Liangzhou?"

Ma Chao couldn't help but ask.

"This is a holy decree, I just don't obey it, and there is no way."

Ma Teng smiled bitterly and asked, "Chao'er, do you think we can still divide Liangzhou?" ”

"Why did my father ask?"

After pondering, Ma Chaoqi said.

"Your Majesty has risen, and this chaotic era of division may be coming to an end."

"Our Ma family should change to Hanchen as soon as possible, and don't become warlords again."

Ma Teng said.

"Father, are you going to give away your inheritance?"

Ma Chao said unwillingly.

"In this world, it was originally His Majesty's, even if he was unwilling, he was helpless."

Speaking of this, Ma Teng sighed, before coming to Chang'an, he still had the dream of being a warlord.

But when he met His Majesty this time, he realized that he needed to change his mind.

However, this still does not prevent him from preparing with both hands.

If the Han family is still declining, he will naturally continue to be a warlord, but what if the Han family rises again?

Immediately, he looked at his daughter and said, "I see Your Majesty, it seems that you are a little interested in Yunlu. ”

"Father!"

Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Yunlu were all stunned, and even Ma Dai couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Ma Teng, this is to be the national abbot?

"Father, are you trying to make me a political victim?"

Ma Yunlu was displeased, in this era, although he paid attention to the words of his parents, the Ma family did not eat this set at all.

Ma Yunlu grew up in the army, and since he was a child, he was easy to wear and use as a martial artist, and he disdained secular etiquette.

Her father's approach made her unable to accept it for a while.

"What are your grievances about marrying Your Majesty?"

Ma Teng frowned, he made two preparations, one was to occupy Liangzhou, at least nominally.

The second is to establish an in-law relationship with His Majesty.

Although this is a wall-to-wall grass, it can be regarded as maximizing the benefits.

"I don't want to marry Your Majesty."

Ma Yunlu raised his eyebrows and said: "The person I want to marry is at least a majestic hero like my brother, so I don't want to marry any emperor." ”

"Father, you also saw that when Your Majesty spoke to us just now, he yawned several times, and he looked weak."

"It was Your Majesty who fought all night and didn't sleep well."

Marten explained.

"Father, don't force your little sister, our Ma family has its own way of survival."

"You want to be the uncle of this country, but I don't want to be the uncle of this country."

Ma Chao stood with his hands in his hands and said: "Even if I don't want to be a warlord and want to be a Hanchen, then I have to rely on the spear in my own hand to make contributions." ”

"What are you talking about here?"

At this time, a voice sounded, Ma Teng and the others were taken aback, this is outside the palace gate, there is no one around, when did anyone approach?

"Zhang Xiu!"

Ma Teng and Ma Chao looked at Zhang Xiu vigilantly, this old enemy of the past.
