"Even so, there is no need for His Highness to enter Shu in person, the task assigned by His Majesty has been completed, and His Highness should go back earlier." Max was still a little worried, and kept persuading.

"I still have some personal matters in Shu this time, you can go back with the knights first." Ma Kang's attitude is resolute.

"Your Highness, you are now a Persian colt, can you tell me what kind of private matter it is?" Max is afraid that His Royal Highness will still have some ties with the Xishu Han Kingdom.

"Is this what you should ask? I will return to China as soon as I am done, and I will explain it to myself when the time comes. Ma Kang changed his cold attitude again.

"Your servant didn't mean that, Your Highness is careful, His Majesty asks, and your servant will explain it for you." Max bowed to the horse, then turned away.

In the afternoon of the same day, Max led 5,000 Persian cavalry to bid farewell to Ma Kang and disappeared into the vast smoke and dust.

"King, the Persian cavalry is gone, and the leader of the tree function has already joined General Ma Kang, as well as the Han captives that General Ma Kang has just subdued, and they are already on their way to Shu." A Xianbei soldier reported to Jorobal Nengyu in the Assassin's Mansion.

"Ma Kang didn't go with the Persian army?" If Robert could ask.

"No, it was General Ma Kang's chief guard who led the army back." The soldier replied.

"yes, I see!" If Robert could be relieved immediately, the only thing he was afraid of now was the Persian cavalry of Ma Kang, and now that this cavalry was gone, he would have peace of mind for the time being.

Seeing that Ruo Luo Ba could lie on the couch and gradually fall asleep, the Xianbei soldier did not dare to be alarmed and quietly retreated.

Liangzhou, Tianshui County.

Taishou Wang Hu sorrowfully poured his sorrows with wine, and a few days ago came the news that Zhang Ye and Wuwei were attacked and occupied by the bald Xianbei, and the assassin Shi Yang Xin was killed, and the worse news was that yesterday a soldier came to report, and Jincheng Taishou Ma Long also descended Xianbei.

He couldn't figure it out, Ma Long was born in the Xiliangma family, and he was also a famous family, how could he be willing to surrender the Xianbei barbarian foreign clan, and now the remaining four counties in Liangzhou have been occupied by the Xianbei people in three counties, leaving him alone in Tianshui County.

Before Lord Jia Chong led the Western Army of Wei into Shu, passing by his Tianshui County, asking him to provide grain and grass, he was angry about Jia Chong's instructions to kill the monarch in Chengji, and scolded Jia Chong for being a chaotic minister and thief, not only did not provide Jia Chong with grain and grass, but also refused to allow the army to enter his rule to rest, which deeply offended Jia Chong.

Thinking of this, Wang Hu became even more worried, and filled himself with empty wine.

"My lord, there are three people outside the city who ask to see him, and the leader claims to be an old friend of the adult." A county soldier came in to report and frowned when he saw Lord Taishou's drunken appearance.

"Friends? Let them in, for I am afraid that the messenger of the Xianbei people will come to persuade me to surrender, but I will see how he convinces me, and order fifty sword and axe men to line up outside the palace gate, and if they can't be convinced, I will cut them down!" Wang Hu smiled contemptuously, no matter what, it was impossible for him to surrender to the Xianbei people.

The gate of Tianshui City slowly opened, and the three people and three horsemen outside the city were standing and wandering in clusters with weapons, it was Ma Kang Wenyang and the three of them, and at this time Ma Kang also replaced the mount camel with the Xiliang horse.

"General Ma, is it better to take a look at the situation before going in?" The tree function had heard that Tianshui Taishou Wang Hu was loyal to the Wei State, so he was a little worried that he would encounter danger if he rushed into the city.

"Let's go, let's go into town!" Ma Kang took the lead in rushing into the city without looking back.

Wen Yang and Shu Ji could see that Ma Kang had entered the city, and the two of them also patted their horses and followed.

The three of them arrived at the Tianshui Taishou Mansion, handed over the mounts and weapons to the county soldiers, and Ma Kang took the two of them into the mansion without any scruples.

"General Ma, let's withdraw, this is obviously ill-intentioned!" Although the tree function is not cold to Ma Kang, he still cares about his life.

"It's just a little knife and axeman, now that we retreat, we will only be looked down upon, and besides, the weapons are not in our hands, where else can we retreat to in other people's territory?" Wen Yang looked at this column of good sword and axe hands, without the slightest sense of fear.

"You two wait here, I'll go in myself." After Ma Kang finished speaking, he strode calmly in front of the knife and axeman.

Wen Yang and the tree function were ready to go, and they stared at Ma Kang motionlessly.

"Hey! Ha! ”

The sword and axe men shouted in unison, lowering the ring hand knife in their hands by an inch, which was worthy of skipping Ma Kang's neck.

Caught off guard, Ma Kang paused for a few seconds, then ignored the axe hands and walked again.

Wang Hu was drinking himself in the mansion and waiting quietly.

"Uncle is going to kill his nephew?" Ma Kang pushed open the door of the mansion and walked straight in.

"You are?" Wang Hu put down the wine jug in his hand, and looked at the person who walked in a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Uncle, do you remember when I peed in your jug?" Ma Kang stepped forward with a smile and sat down generously opposite Wang Hu.

"Are you a child? Hahaha, I'm going to remember this for the rest of my life. Wang Hu immediately remembered.

At that time, his friend Ma Cheng abandoned the official and left Xishu, and temporarily settled in Tianshui, Wang Hu set up wine to entertain Ma Cheng, but Ma Cheng's naughty son Ma Kang urinated in the wine pot, and the angry Ma Cheng took Ma Kang away violently, and Ma Kang's head hid behind Wang Hu, which made Wang Hu very fond of it at that time.

"Virtuous nephew, come on, come on, accompany your uncle to have two drinks." Wang Hu opened two cups and filled them to the brim.

"Uncle did it first!" Wang Hu took the wine glass and drank it all.

"To my uncle!" Ma Kang also raised his wine glass.

After a glass of wine, Wang Hu remembered what was going on, and looked at Ma Kang silently.

"Nephew, how is your father now?" Wang Hu asked.

That year, Ma Cheng took his son to settle in Tianshui, Wang Hu persuaded him to enter the Wei State as an official, but Ma Cheng did not want to be an enemy of the Xishu Han State, and did not agree, and later took Ma Kang to the West Sea, and there was no news again.

"My father died of illness last year." Ma Kang replied with some sadness.

"Alas, I haven't been able to have another drink with Brother Ma Cheng, so he left first." Hearing the news that Ma Cheng had passed away, Wang Hu was also very uncomfortable.

"My father likes to walk around on weekdays, look at the mountains and rivers and deserts, he has been to many places in his life, and it can be regarded as complete." Ma Kang sighed.

"Tianshui farewell, you and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and I don't know where you went later?" Wang Hu asked curiously.

"Leaving Tianshui that day, my father took me all the way to the West Sea, the hardships are not humane, and then my father was loyal to the Persian State of the West Sea as a general and made a lot of meritorious achievements, and I later also made a horse of the Persian State of the West Sea, and this time I came to Xiliang to receive the will of His Majesty the King of our country." Ma Kang said everything unreservedly, and it would be beneficial to treat people like Wang Hu calmly.

"I said, how can Luo Ba have the ability to defeat Yang Xin and occupy Wuwei, it turns out that there are people behind to help, Jincheng Taishou Ma Long's surrender to Xianbei is probably also from your handwriting, right?" Wang Hu took a glass of wine and took a sip of it.

"I'm here to persuade my uncle to also descend to Ruo Luo Banoneng, now that the three counties of Liangzhou have been lost, my uncle is isolated and helpless, so it's better to push the boat down the river." Ma Kang put his purpose on the bright side.

"If Robert can be a vulgar barbarian, how can I bring him down? Besides, I have eaten Cao Wei Guanlu for many years, how can I do that treasonous thing? Let's go, for the sake of you being my virtuous nephew, I won't kill you? Wang Hu no longer had the enthusiasm he had just now, and began to want to catch up with customers.

"Uncle don't be angry, and listen to the virtuous nephew. If Robit can not be handed down today, Tianshui County is still the uncle in charge, if Robit can not have the ability to take his uncle's territory, and if Robert Neng has agreed to surrender to Shu, his uncle can be a courtier of the Han Kingdom of Western Shu in the future, how can he lose his identity? Ma Kang said.

"Today's Great Wei State is no longer the Wei State where the Cao family is the master, the Sima family is autocratic, this Great Wei State is afraid that it will soon be no longer surnamed Cao, and my uncle is carrying the chaotic minister and thief Sima Clan, not Cao Wei, your eldest brother Jiang Wei, who practiced martial arts together in the past, is not now also being reused in the Western Shu Han Kingdom, and I hope that my uncle will consider it carefully." Ma Kang continued to persuade.

"I'm afraid the virtuous nephew doesn't know yet, right? Xishu has perished. Wang Hu took another sip of wine and said lightly.

"What? Xishu is gone? Ma Kang's face changed instantly, and he stood up in shock.

"My Tianshui is located on the border of Shu and Wei, and I have long heard from the people of Shu that Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping and attacked Chengdu and captured Liu Chan, the lord of Shu. Wang Hu said again.

"That's bad, alas, if you fall short, you won't bother your uncle to drink, and your nephew may have to go back to Xihai soon, and you will have the opportunity to drink with your uncle again in the future." Ma Kang was already anxious and was about to leave.

If Xishu is really dead, then everything he does in Liangzhou will be meaningless, if Robert can be quickly defeated by Wei, Wei will once again open the road to connect the Western Regions, and the Wei State that takes Xishu will be even stronger, and if he does not leave Liangzhou again, when the Wei army comes back, he will never be able to go again.

"Virtuous nephew slow, I am willing to surrender." Wang Hu said slowly.

"What? Xishu has already perished, the Wei army will soon return to Liangzhou, and my uncle will make meritorious contributions to protect Tianshui, why do you want to surrender? "Ma Kang is completely confused, is his uncle amusing himself?

"I'm afraid there will be a big change in Xishu, Jia Chong personally rushed to Liangzhou from Luoyang and transferred most of the western army from Liangzhou into Shu, if it weren't for the fact that the situation in Shu has reached the point of erosion, Jia Chong would not have taken the risk to mobilize so many western troops from Liangzhou into Shu." Wang Hu has been crawling around the border officialdom for so many years, and the head of the analysis is the Tao.

"What does Uncle mean?" Ma Kang seemed to understand something, but he was still confused.

"If it is not as I expected, the Wei army is afraid that it has been defeated in the Xishu battlefield, otherwise Jia Chong will not personally mobilize the Liangzhou Western Army to clean up the mess. Moreover, this defeat will make the prestige of the Sima clan lose everything, in order to stabilize the position, the Sima clan is afraid that he will take the risk to replace the Cao family, and the Wei State will disappear soon. Wang Hu's eyes were already very indifferent, mixed with a little helplessness.
