"Cao Xing quickly fights with me, you weak man wants to borrow troops from me, and there is no door, unless you have beaten me." Ma Chao was dragged into the distance by two soldiers with a tiger's back, but even so, Ma Chao still didn't forget to scold loudly there.

Looking at such a scene, Ma Teng only felt helpless, he was quite sorry and said to Cao Xing: "Cao Xing, don't mind, it's me Ma Shoucheng's godson, so the current pattern has been formed, I am also very helpless that rebel, hey......"

In fact, Cao Xing's heart is a little puzzled, Ma Chao is a famous general in history, why was he so rebellious when he was a teenager, Cao Xing asked this question in his heart, Ma Teng also explained with a wry smile, all this may be because of the family.

Ma Chao is Ma Teng's eldest son, but Ma Chao's mother is a Huqiang person, so Ma Chao has half Han blood and half Qiang blood.

However, Ma Chao's mother died of illness when he was very young, and later Ma Teng continued to string, and his current wife's name is Liu, and soon after, Ma Chao successively had several more brothers, and Ma Chao, who lacked maternal love since childhood, began to become unusually rebellious.

Ma Teng is a good man, loyal to the court, and righteous enough to his friends, it is this character, so he is also quite indulgent to Ma Chao, after all, Ma Teng is in his heart, he feels that he owes Ma Chao, and did not give Ma Chao a complete family, even if he has a stepmother now, Ma Chao still can't feel at ease.

So whenever Ma Chao gets into trouble, Ma Teng can only wipe his ass in the back, and let this son mess around, but his son is also a master of martial arts, he likes to dance and play with swords since he was a child, and got acquainted with a wave of Jianghu rangers, and the things that broke out are also bigger than one another, just look at the state of Chen Hu today.

Afterwards, Chen Hu had to admit that he really couldn't win this Ma Mengqi, although the two were of the same age, but Chen Hu's body size was already bigger than Ma Chao, but the two competed for strength, Ma Chao was even better, and Ma Chao was also much higher than Ma Chao in terms of endurance, so Chen Huyan was undefeated.

After understanding the origin of Ma Chao's rebellious psychology, Cao Xuan smiled, said goodbye to Ma Teng, and after returning to the barracks, Cao Xuan sent Chen Hu to the military doctor, and did not worry about it anymore, after all, Chen Hu suffered only skin trauma, after returning to the big tent, Cao Xuan sat down and meditated quietly, he didn't think about Ma Chao or Ma Teng, and finally he focused his attention on Han Sui.

Looking at the problems he listed on the case, Cao Xuan couldn't help but pat his head, he was too careless after all.

People who have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if they mention the name Han Sui to him, they will definitely be associated with Ma Chao and Ma Teng, after all, he is Ma Teng's righteous brother, and everyone knows about it, but many people will ignore Han Sui's other title, that is, Jiuqu Yellow River.

The Jiuqu Yellow River is understood literally, that is, it is twists and turns, describing Han Sui, that is to say, Han Sui's heart is very complicated, ordinary people can't guess it, he and Ma Teng became righteous brothers, and it was just superficial kung fu.

Quietly recalling Han Sui's life and past, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion just broke out, he also rebelled in Xiliang under the name of a eunuch, of course, the Xiliang mentioned here is actually a general term, roughly divided into Yongzhou and Liangzhou, Han Sui's nest should be in Liangzhou.

And after many years, Han Sui is still restless, and has launched a lot of wars one after another, if it is accurate, it was not Han Sui who launched, but Han Sui participated in it, and Han Sui can be seen every time, although these wars seem to have been quelled again and again, and there was not much turmoil, but after a long period of accumulation, the final result was that Han Sui seized Liangzhou for 30 years.

In the end, when Cao Cao unified the north, he was ready to move troops against Yongliang and killed Ma Teng. Ma Chao and Han Sui rebelled, and the final result was that Ma Chao's family was wiped out except for him and a few people, and Han Sui surrendered to Cao Cao, and finally died at the age of seventy. Therefore, this Han Sui's life can be described as a successful retirement.

Liangzhou is located at the extreme edge of the northwest, coupled with the barren and bitter cold, ordinary people will not look there, everyone's eyes are focused on the Central Plains, so ignoring Han Sui, thinking of this, Cao Xing's heart couldn't help but gasp, this Jiuqu Yellow River is definitely not simple.

Cao Xing bets that why Ma Chao came here today was led by Han Sui, and Han Sui's purpose is also very simple, that is, to let Cao Xing and Ma Chao kill each other, no matter whether Ma Chao dies or Cao Xing dies in the end, it is impossible to mention the matter of sending troops, and he can preserve his vitality.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan couldn't help frowning, although he didn't know what Han Sui's next tactic would be, and where he wanted to cause a war, but anyway, Cao Xuan now figured out Han Sui's ultimate goal, which was to divide the territory, if the entire Xiliang couldn't retreat, it would not be impossible to hold Liangzhou firmly in his hands first.

According to Han Sui's current actions, if Cao Xing's guess is correct, he wants to annex all of Yongliang, if not, why did he lead troops to be stationed here in the name of assisting in defense, Cao Xing didn't believe that Han Sui really wanted to worship Ma Teng as a righteous brother.

Cao Xuan rubbed his palm, and at this moment his mind had become more and more clear, and an idea gradually formed in Cao Xing's mind.

Cao Xuan took out a piece of paper and picked up a pen, quickly wrote something on it, then looked out of the door, and asked the guards to call Zhong Qi over, when Zhong Qi walked in, Cao Xuan folded the paper, and then handed it to Zhong Qi's hand.

"You go and select five hundred brothers with more bright brains, let them take off their armor, and all disguise themselves as caravans, you take me to a place, and give this letter to the person who should hand it over, by the way, you have to bring some more silver taels to go, you take the 20,000 taels first, if it is not enough to write back in time, I will find a way!"

Seeing Cao Xing's explanation in such detail, Zhong Qi knew that Cao Xing definitely had a big plan, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he took the letter into his arms, and then immediately did what Cao Xing told him.

In this way, most of the time passed, and in this half a month, Cao Xing seemed to be a lot quieter, but he had no intention of raising troops to go back, so he settled here with peace of mind under Ma Teng's arrangement.

Anyway, there is no war to be carried out now, Cao Xing went to visit Ma Teng at the end of three days, and Ma Teng was also warmly entertained, on this day Ma Teng invited Cao Xing Zhang Ji and Han Sui to his mansion for a banquet.

Ma Teng held this banquet for another purpose, that is, to contact Zhang Ji and Han Sui, and everyone to consolidate their defenses. This is also where their job lies, so Cao Xing is left to sit there alone, looking a little lonely.

However, Cao Xuan didn't mind this, he drank a glass of wine lightly, and then looked to the side, where there was a pair of contemptuous eyes staring at him all the time, needless to say that it was Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng.

Cao Xing laughed twice, took out a wine bag from his waist, and then said: "Brother Meng Qi, come, I will toast you!" ”

However, Ma Chao showed a look of disgust and said: "Cao Xing, why do I want to drink your wine, it's just an outsider, and now it's dragging it here, it's nothing more than wanting to use my family's soldiers and horses, I'll tell you the truth, even if my father agrees, but I don't agree, do you see if those soldiers will listen to your orders!" ”

"But I didn't block all your way, I have half of the Qiang blood, and I also particularly admire the strong, I once told you, if you are willing to fight with me, and successfully defeat me, I will promise to lend you troops, but you look at you now, afraid to fight with me, like a coward, why should I drink with you!"

Cao Xing shook his head helplessly in his heart, this Ma Chao really has no political consciousness at all, and he speaks openly, no wonder the final end is so miserable.

But Cao Xuan didn't mind, he smiled and said to Ma Chao: "Brother Meng Qi is only fifteen years old now, the same age as my Cao Xing, but the martial arts are much higher than me, I admire and admire, but my wine, but I am the strongest wine in the state, only real warriors dare to try, I don't know if Brother Meng Qi dares to try!" ”

Cao Xing's move really aroused Ma Chao's dissatisfaction, he took the wine bag handed over by Cao Xing, and then poured it down, but when he was halfway through shopping, he couldn't pour it down, and his face was red.

However, this Ma Chao is also a hard-boned person, watching Cao Xuan watching him there, so he gritted his teeth, closed his mouth, and swallowed this cold spirit alive.

Although he didn't make a fool of himself with his stubborn backbone, Ma Chao's temper began to become a little rough after drinking this sip of wine.

"This, what kind of wine is this!"

"This is a cold day liquor from my Bianyun County, if Brother Meng Qi likes it, I will give you more in the future!"

However, Ma Chao waved his hand and said: "I don't need you to send it, I want you to fight with me now, if the fight makes me happy, I can not only send troops to help, but even charge forward for you in person, break through the Qiang people, and recapture the holy decree!" ”

However, Cao Xuan just smiled at this, ignored it, and then looked at Ma Teng, and at this moment, Ma Teng and the three of them also talked about the issue of defense.

Cao Xing didn't say a word, walked in front of Ma Teng, and directly handed over a piece of paper, Ma Teng opened it with some puzzlement, and the whole person's face changed completely after a closer look.
