Fifty miles west of Huaili County, a well-equipped military camp rose from the ground, which made many mountain bandits around them suddenly start to be frightened, wondering which blind guy in the vicinity provoked the Fufeng Ma family. However, after a day's time, the mountain kings did not see Ma Teng's troops to suppress the bandits, so they hurriedly waited for their men to evacuate from this place and withdraw to the stability of the north.

Because Zhao Yun's gift convoy was lined with the 3,000 iron cavalry of the Xiliang Army, it only took a day to rush to Huaili, which made the Huaili County Commander, who had just received the Ma family's army, panicked for a while, and hurriedly inquired about what the appearance of this gang of people was for, for fear that Chang'an and Fufeng would jointly send troops to pacify the surrounding bandits.

At first, Zhao Yun didn't understand what the other party meant, until the Huaili county commander's words revealed his concern for the nearby war, Zhao Yun knew what the other party was doing, so he glanced at Li Meng, who was silent, Zhao Yun smiled and promised the other party that he would not raise troops nearby, so he drove this county order away.

Returning to the barracks in the city at night, Zhao Yun said to Dong Xi who followed secretly with a cold face, "I always thought that if there was a Xiliang army in the entire Yongzhou, there would be no mountain bandits, but I didn't expect that this government would wear a pair of pants with the mountain bandits." Uncle Shi is right, it seems to be peaceful in this level, but in fact, it is all whitewashed!"

As the leader of the three departments, although Dong Xi is not as good as Bai Yu's strategies and methods, he is always the leader of a spy and knows much more than Zhao Yun.

"This is also something that can't be helped, when the first emperor sold his official beard, many people donated their life savings, wanting to get an official and a half-job. But in the end, it was only those who had a relationship with the internal government that were assigned to the fat shortage, and the remaining group of people could only go to this place where birds don't to be a county official. How could they not want to make money back from their donations!"

"If you are dealing with the political side, why don't these people become businessmen? It's no wonder that businessmen have had a bad reputation for thousands of years, even if a businessman like Zibo does more for the development of the local area, he won't be loved!"

"That's why, the lord let us control the northwest of Guanzhong in advance! Wait for the moment when you take control of the military and political affairs in the northwest, so that this group of pests can be completely eradicated and a pure land in Guanzhong!"

"When the time comes, I will definitely ask Uncle Shi to personally supervise and kill this group of scum!"

After complaining to Dong Xi about local political affairs, Zhao Yun's mood was much better, so he turned out the map of Fufeng and pointed to the old Huaishan Mountain, thirty miles northwest of Huaili, frowning and pondering. After a while, Zhao Yun turned his head and asked Dong Xi, "The scout just came with the news that Ma Teng's garrison is fifty miles away, will Ziyi's army be discovered, and then what suspicions do you have about Meng Qi?" ”

"General Zilong, don't worry, I have ordered someone to sneak into Ma Teng's army to inform General Meng Qi about this matter, we should all believe General Meng Qi! Moreover, there is a distance of forty miles between us and Ma Teng's army, and the other side may not find anything!"

"It's not that I don't believe in Meng Qi, but I'm worried that he is in a dilemma, although Meng Qi and his family are not compatible, but after all, they are father and son, in case Ma Teng makes any outrageous moves, Meng Qi will inevitably be constrained because of his identity, plus he is in the enemy camp, even if he has the courage of ten thousand people, he may not be able to hold out until our army arrives!"

"What do you mean!"

"I mean there is no difference between fifty miles and twenty miles, instead of making people reverie, it is better for us to take the initiative to contact Ma Teng and show our sincerity, which can not only ensure the safety of Meng Qi, but also play a role in deterring Ma Teng! And it just so happens that the Xiliang Army also wants to find our five thousand private soldiers, and taking the initiative to expose them may even play a role in confusing them!"

"This...."I have to say that what Zhao Yun said is reasonable, but beyond Chang'an's arrangement, don't say that Zhao Yun can't make up his mind about this matter, I'm afraid Tai Shi Ci won't dare to act arbitrarily!

Knowing the worry in Dong Xi's heart, Zhao Yun chuckled and comforted, "The relationship between Uncle Shi and Meng Qi is no less than mine, and the matter of Ma Teng's temporary garrison in Huaili may not be transmitted back to Chang'an tomorrow, and Chang'an will not have time to react at that time, and now we can't even understand Ma Teng's intentions, and it will inevitably delay the development of the situation if it comes and goes." So we either go out of the city overnight tonight, or we will suppress the other party, in short, we must find out Ma Teng's intentions and ensure Meng Qi's safety. ”

Zhao Yun said everything to this point, Dong Xi weighed the pros and cons, and nodded slowly, "Since this is the case, then I will send someone to send a message to General Ziyi, and now they are afraid that they have just arrived at Laohuai Mountain, just to save them the time to set up camp!"

"Remember, the army can come out, Ziyi must not appear in a high-profile manner, since the first battle of Gaoyi, Ziyi has nominally left the Longjia army, if he appears here, it may make the Xiliang army think of something!"

"Got it, I'm going to send a message!"

After Dong Xi left, Zhao Yun looked at the cold moon outside the window, his heart was full of worries about Ma Chao, he had been with him for so many years, he knew Ma Chao's personality, and he didn't seem to care about Ma Teng, but in fact, how much he longed for the father's love that had been lost for many years. As for the so-called killing of the concubine, according to Zhao Yun's understanding of Ma Chao, this is simply impossible, so the Ma family must still have some unknown insider story.

That night, the 5,000 Longjia army, which had been hidden for many years, suddenly came out and appeared near Huaili, completely scaring Li Meng who followed, and didn't even say hello to Zhao Yun, and led the 3,000 cavalry back to Chang'an overnight, scolding Niu Fu in his mouth.

And Ma Teng and Ma Chao were also shocked by this news, Ma Teng felt that he had underestimated the young man in Chang'an. And Ma Chao was shocked by Long Jun's decision, the news of the advent of the 5,000 Long Family Army must not be hidden, and when the time comes, what will the people of the world think of Long Jun's character, who is loyal to the Han family on the surface, but in fact secretly raises a private army, what does this mean with Liangzhou's rebellion?

But whether it is Ma Teng, Ma Chao or Li Meng, they don't know that this is a decision made by Zhao Yun, Dong Xi and Tai Shici, otherwise Ma Chao will definitely point to these two good brothers who were born and died.

By the time Chang'an got the news, it was already early the next morning, and looking at the reports sent before and after, Long Jun's face was full of smiles and relief. Even Guo Jia on the side shook his head and smiled bitterly after a burst of anger, pointing to the last report sent and said with a smile: "I often think that one day in our Long Family Army there will be a person who will cut first and then play, but after thinking about it, I didn't expect it to be this time, and I didn't expect it to be the three most stable people in our Long Family Army who made the decision together!"

casually threw the last report into the trash can next to him, Long Jun replied with a smile, "This is also a helpless thing, Ma Teng's appearance in Huaili is something we didn't expect, and there is no news from Tong Fei's side, which can only show that Ma Teng is acting in secret, so this matter can only be solved by watching their on-the-spot choices, after all, we can't send it over in time to make a decision!"

"But the lord doesn't say how much impact this matter has on the inside, just the appearance of the five thousand dragon family army, the court will inevitably have doubts about the lord, Dong Zhuo will increase the monitoring of us, after all, these five thousand troops are coming out under their noses, and we want to control Guanzhong without blood, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult!"

"It doesn't matter, but there is a sentence I think Zilong has said right, Dong Zhuo's side has always thought that our private army has 5,000 people, and exposing it early will make the rest of our brothers safer. Although the appearance of these 5,000 troops from Guanzhong will make them think that we have been plotting against Guanzhong a long time ago, but now the situation has been decided, unless he Dong Zhuoken gives up Luoyang and returns to Guanzhong, I will take this pass!"

Listening to Long Jun's strong and powerful declaration, Guo Jia smiled with relief, in some things he was just a strategist rather than a decision-maker, since his lord didn't care about this, why did he want to be that villain? Besides, if he was in Zhao Yun's position at the time, I am afraid that he would have gone even more excessively than Zhao Yun in this matter. Not to mention Ma Teng, I'm afraid that Li Meng's three thousand Xiliang soldiers will be eaten by him directly, anyway, these armies are nominally under the command of Zhenbei Hou!

"Ahead is Ma Teng's military camp, let people go and spread the word, the Han Beiping Zhonglang General Zhao Yun was ordered by the hussar general Zhenbei Hou Longjun to come to send a seven-year filial piety gift to General Ma for the northern governor!"

"Whoa!"

A quarter of an hour later, the Wu Yang Ma Teng tribe appeared in front of Zhao Yun, looking at the strong and powerful Ma Teng army, Zhao Yun gently raised his hand, and the five carts full of gifts were pushed out by the Long family army and placed in front of Ma Tengjun.

"This is what Meng Qi saved in my Longjia army for seven years, including the rewards of the former emperor and the current majesty, as well as the family wealth that my uncle saved for Meng Qi, and some of my uncle said that it was inconvenient to bring it over, so I only gave it to General Ma with this vulgar thing first. I also hope that General Ma will accept it. ”

Listening to Zhao Yun's slightly rampant words, Ma Teng glanced at the box in front of him expressionlessly. But Matthew on the other side sneered, "Heh, it's inconvenient to bring it here?" You're Zhao Yun!"

"It's down there!"

"I heard that you are one of the best generals under Long Jun, why do you talk like this... What makes people laugh like that? Can't bring it? If you really have a heart, you can also tear down a city and bring it over, right? ”

"Do you have a heart? Well, since this son wants to see him, he will fulfill his wishes!" As soon as the words fell, a ringing arrow shot into the sky, and then the sand behind Zhao Yun and the others rose wildly, and five thousand black-armored cavalry galloped forward.

Looking at Ma Xiu, who was scared silly, Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao, who was silent from beginning to end, and said with a smile, "When my uncle came, I asked General Ma to convey a word, he said, 'Ma Mengqi is my proudest apprentice, although he is very stupid, but no one is allowed to bully him at will, even his family'!"

The man didn't flick his tears, but he didn't get to the sad place, and at this moment Ma Chao suddenly felt that the wind and sand in the northwest were really dazzling.
