Verse 320: Secretly stirring up
"Warning!" A scream sounded in the Ma Teng camp, and I saw the Wuwei City Gate open and jump through the cracks, and a man and a rider raised the flag and ran straight towards the Ma Teng camp.
"Come and stop the horse, or the bow and arrow will serve!" In front of Ma Teng's camp, the captain on duty shouted loudly to the front while directing the soldiers to deploy the defense.
Looking at the bows and arrows of the men and horses in front of them, the sword light flashed, and the horse that rushed out of the city naturally did not move forward recklessly, hurriedly stopped the war horse, and shouted: "Under is the envoy of General Li Dao, in the name of General Li, there is something important to visit General Ma Teng!" ”
The two countries are fighting, and they don't kill the envoys, everyone understands this truth, since the other party has expressed his intentions, the captain should reply: "The messenger waits, wait for me to show the lord!" ”
The lieutenant turned to leave, but the soldiers were still on guard.
After a while, the captain came in a hurry and said loudly: "General Chuan Ma's order, there is a messenger invited!" ”
Ma Teng's tent is set up in the middle of the camp, in the big tent, Ma Teng sits on the main seat, and Ma Chao stands aside, very heroic.
As soon as he entered the tent, the envoy of Li Dao first looked at Ma Teng, and then bowed slightly and said, "Liangzhou Mu Li Dao ordered the envoy to see the general!" ”
The envoy bowed but did not bow, which directly annoyed Ma Chao who was standing aside, Ma Chao rushed forward with a brisk step, grabbed the messenger's clothes, and said angrily: "The thief didn't worship when he saw my father? Don't say it's you, even if Li Dao and Guo Yan are here, they have to pay homage to my father! ”
At this time, Ma Chaonian was already weak, eight feet tall, and infinitely powerful.
Ma Chao's sudden attack, as if in Ma Teng's expectation, Ma Teng smiled secretly, turned his brows, raised his hand and said: "Meng Qi is presumptuous, don't be unreasonable to the messenger!" ”
"Humph!" Ma Chao dropped the messenger and stood up to Ma Teng's side again.
"The messenger is frightened, sit down!" With a wave of his hand, one of his own soldiers brought up a horse and placed it behind the messenger.
"Thank you, General Ma!" With the lesson just learned, the messenger hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
"Wuwei is in danger, Qiang Di is retreating north, grain and grass are difficult to eat, there is no help inside and outside, not only the envoy is coming now?" Ma Teng said a few words, but he summarized the current situation of Wuwei very comprehensively.
The envoy smiled embarrassedly: "What General Ma said is very true, so the villain was ordered by my lord to ask General Ma to surrender!" ”
"Please descend?" Ma Teng sighed in his heart, according to his understanding of Li Dao and Guo Yan, although these two people are insatiable, they are both masters who would rather be broken than destroyed! Although Wuwei is in danger now, if he wants to take it down without blood, Ma Teng really didn't dare to think about it.
If you surrender so easily, I'm afraid there must be a conspiracy! Although I can't see through what the conspiracy is, I am already wary in my heart.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Li Zhiran to be so accessible, if he can rest the army and calm the people, it is really a great fortune in the world!" Ma Teng stood up and slowly walked to the messenger, the messenger hurriedly got up and stood in front of Ma Teng, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Ma Chao behind Ma Teng.
"Your envoy is coming to express his intentions, I am very relieved, this general immediately passed the letter to Luoyang, reported to the hussar general, and asked for rewards for the two generals Li and Guo; At that time, General Li will be asked to open all four gates, and I should enter Wuwei with Yongzhou Mu Zhang Ji to count the soldiers and horses in the city; How about your envoy returning quickly and conveying the general's intentions to General Li and General Guo? Although Ma Teng didn't know what conspiracy Li Dao and Guo Yan had, he knew in his heart that it would never be wrong to work steadily and step by step.
Hearing Ma Teng's words, the envoy's brows furrowed slightly.
"How?" When Ma Chao saw the envoy's face, he raised his eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that the envoy is a fraud?" ”
"No, no, no~~~" The messenger hurriedly waved his hand: "The major general misunderstood!" The sincerity of my lord's surrender can be learned from heaven and earth! It's just that there are some hidden feelings during this period, and I hope General Ma will understand! ”
"Oh?!" Ma Teng secretly became vigilant, and asked unhurriedly: "Your envoy is talking about what is hidden." ”
The envoy thought for a while and said, "General Ma, according to the intentions of General Li and General Guo, this time only the Dongxiang Marquis will be lowered, not Zhang Yuanjiang!" ”
"Why is that?" Ma Teng was puzzled: "It has been several months since General Zhang returned to my master, and the world knows it, I don't know why General Guo and He have such considerations?" “
The envoy hurriedly arched his hand and returned: "General Ma should know that at the beginning, Li, Guo, Zhang, Fan, etc. were all Dong Zhuo's generals, and then Dong Zhuo was destroyed by the design of Dongxiang Hou, and all the generals under his command turned back to Yongliang counties one after another, and went their own way, among which my lord General Li and General Guo were the most powerful!" ”
"Hmm~~" Ma Teng nodded: "I should know about this matter, at the beginning, Li and Guo were on one side, and the world looked at it; But now the hussars are strong and strong, like the sun and the sky, and the soldiers are all subdued! If Li Dao Guo Yan no longer understands the general trend, he is afraid that when he is full of disasters, he will regret it too late! Ma Teng's last sentence was already a threat to death, and his gaze became more fierce towards the messenger.
"Yes, yes, what General Ma said is very true!" The envoy nodded hurriedly, and then said: "For the Marquis of Dongxiang, General Li has always been extremely respectful, so he ordered the villain to come to General Ma to ask for surrender!" But ......"
"But what?" Ma Teng's brows furrowed slightly.
"However, when General Li and General Guo were under Dong Zhuo's account, they were always at odds with that Zhang Ji, and General Li and General Guo were high everywhere, and now they are surrendered to Dongxiang Hou, but to beg to Zhang Ji, it is really difficult to obey it!"
"That's it......" Ma Teng also muttered in his heart, this reason does sound reasonable, not to mention that Zhang Jichu invested in Guan Yan, he and Zhang Ji have no intersection, and it seems that it is not impossible to accept the surrender of Li Ji and Guo Yan alone!
But out of caution, Ma Teng didn't give a direct reply, but said slowly: "Let General Ben think about it or two, and your envoy will go back first!" ”
The envoy was stunned for a moment, and did not dare to continue speaking, but bowed and saluted: "In this case, the villain is returning to the city, if General Ma thinks about it properly, he only needs to send one person to stand under the city with a yellow flag on three sides, and the villain will come to see him immediately!" ”
"Hmm~" Ma Teng nodded and waved his hand: "Go!" ”
After the envoy left, Ma Chao said: "Father, what this person said is not unreasonable, if you can take Wuwei without spending a single soldier, I think the lord will be very happy to know it!" ”
"It's best to be able to fight without blood!" Ma Teng frowned and stroked his beard: "But as a father, I always feel that this matter is not so simple!" In two days, hey~ It's really nerve-wracking~~"
Emateng's strategy really can't think of anything to be bored with, but his intuition and experience are warning him not to act rashly.
