Ma Teng's official position is still Jiuquan Taishou.

"General Liang is exempt, please take a seat." Ma Teng said, and then Ma Teng asked Liang Xing to sit down. After a while, Ma Teng asked again, "General Liang, is there anything to do with this coming?" ”

"Lord Hui Taishou, my lord, I invite you to go to Dunhuang County for a banquet ten days later, to celebrate the victory of our two families over the Western Liang army and stabilize the northern part of Liangzhou. Here's the invitation. Liang Xing respectfully sent the invitation and said.

Naturally, someone handed the invitation to Ma Teng's hand, Ma Teng looked down, and after a while, Ma Teng said: "Okay, please tell Brother Xian, I will definitely arrive." ”

"Yes, then the general will take his leave." Liang Xing said. "Send me off!" Ma Teng said to his subordinates.

"Yes, sir!" A subordinate said.

In the backyard of the Jiuquan County Guard's Mansion, Ma Teng's wife and several concubines live here. Ma Teng didn't have anything to do at night, so he came to Mrs. Qiang's room early, Ma Teng's wife is the authentic princess of the Qiang small tribe, Ma Teng has married his wife, it is in full swing, although he has not yet reached the realm of flying Huang Teng, but this Qiang clan also makes Ma Teng's appeal in Xiliang unique.

"Madam, I'm going to Dunhuang County for a banquet in a few days, and then you have to bother to teach Tie'er how to handle political affairs." Ma Teng said.

"Husband, don't you know my level? I tried my best, but I always felt that Han Sui had some purpose. Qiang said.

"Madame is too careful, we are sworn brothers, what can he think, even if we have a good chat." Ma Teng said.

"Husband, you bring more people and horses, and also bring Chao'er back to accompany you, I can rest assured." Qiang said.

"It's okay, Chao'er and Lu'er still have a lot of things to do in the West Sea, the West Sea is in ruins, and there are still the Huns next to it! I won't let Chao'er come back. Madame, let's rest! Ma Teng said.

"Hey! Let the concubine give her husband a wide coat. Qiang said, don't look at Ma Teng is in his forties, but because he is in good health, Ma Teng and his wife are still very happy in their happy life. And the Qiang clan didn't think about anything else.

Ten days later, Ma Teng took Ma Xiu and 500 guards, and got up and rushed to Dunhuang County, although the Qiang clan asked him to bring more people, but Ma Teng still insisted on going his own way, and then the Qiang clan had no choice, so he had to persuade himself.

**

Thirty miles east of Dunhuang County, Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Ma Xiu and five hundred guards were hurrying on their way. At this time, Matthew said: "Father, there are still thirty miles to Dunhuang City." We've been on the road continuously, why don't you take a break first? ”

"Okay, let's rest in place for an hour." Ma Teng said.

"No! The Lord has decreed that all of them should rest in place for an hour. Matthew said.

In this way, Ma Teng's father and son and 500 guards rested on the spot, and just after Ma Teng sat down, a soldier from Dunhuang City came on horseback.

"Father, it's Han Sui's person." Matthew said. "Oh, let him come." Ma Teng said. "The lord has an order, let him come." Matthew said.

Tart tart tart!

After a while, a ride from far and near, I saw this person come to Ma Teng's side, turn over and dismount, and salute: "I have seen Ma Taishou." The lord of my family met the general ten miles outside the east gate. Please, general, depart. ”

From this point, it can be seen that Han Sui is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and Ma Teng and the others are tired of marching and rest for a while, but he has to ask Ma Teng to go, which shows that he is domineering. Of course, this kind of thing has to be looked at from two aspects, and it is not necessary to write here.

Ma Teng didn't care about this matter, and there was no soldier who was embarrassed to pass the message, Ma Teng turned around and said, "Xiu'er, give the order to go." ”

"The Lord has an order, and everyone sets off." Matthew said.

Ten miles away from the east gate of Dunhuang City, Han Sui was already a little impatient waiting, and at this time, the soldier he sent to deliver the word had already returned, and informed Han Sui that the word had arrived.

It didn't take long for Han Sui to see the shadow of people and horses hurrying in the distance, and after a while, he could clearly see the font number on the banner.

"It's a sin to have seen my brother and let him go so far." Han Sui said with a smile on his face.

"What did the virtuous brother say?" Ma Teng said. "Brother, please inside!" Han Sui said, and then made another gesture of please.

Ma Teng, Ma Xiu and five hundred guards rushed to Dunhuang City, which was in disrepair for a long time and had a desolate atmosphere, because it had been attacked by the Xiongnu and the Western Regions for a long time, so there would be such a scene.

Just when Ma Teng was observing Dunhuang City, he only heard Han Sui say: "Brother, I have prepared a military camp outside the city, just let Gongzi lead twenty personal guards to accompany him, so that it is easy to manage, brother, you say it's good." ”

"Father......" said Matthew. Hugh, don't be unreasonable. You send your lieutenant to take our soldiers and horses to the barracks. Matte interrupted Matthew and continued.

"Brother, I have prepared a mansion for you, you go to rest and wash up first, and I will have a banquet for my eldest brother in the county guard mansion after dark?" Han Sui said.

In this way, Ma Teng and Ma Xiu, as well as twenty personal guards, went to the mansion arranged for them by Han Sui to rest, the scale of this mansion is not bad, and it is also in line with Ma Teng's identity.

"Father, why did you agree with Han Sui's suggestion and put all the guards outside the city? In case, if Han Sui has any evil intentions, my father may be in danger! Matthew said.

"Hugh, what do you say? How could Han Sui have evil intentions? In addition, how the father usually teaches you, you must call your uncle in the future, and you must not be rude. There will be no mercy next time. Ma Teng said.

"Yes, father, the child will not be in the future." Matthew had no choice but to say respectfully.

After the father and son finished washing, they rested for a while, and it soon got dark, and at this time, after a guard walked in from outside, he said: "Lord, Han Sui sent someone to send a message and asked the lord to go to the county guard's mansion for a banquet." ”

"Okay, Hugh Er will come with me." Ma Teng said. "Yes, father." Matthew said. The father and son led 20 guards to the Dunhuang County Guard.

In the hall of the county guard of Dunhuang County, Han Sui sat on the main seat, Ma Teng didn't care, only to see a soldier come in from outside, he came to Han Sui's approach and whispered a few words, Han Sui smiled after listening.

"Brother, this time we defeated the Xiliang army and controlled the northern part of Xiliang, it is really gratifying, brother respects brother, please!" Han Sui said.

"Rejoice, please!" Ma Teng said. Although Han Sui's tone was a little awkward and arrogant, Ma Teng didn't care about it.

The two sides chatted happily, and after the wine and dishes were over, Han Sui said: "Brother, the younger brother has two things to discuss with the elder brother, I don't know if the elder brother can agree." No matter how gloomy and proud Han Sui's expression was, he always maintained a smile on his face.

"Brother Xian, please speak." Ma Teng asked suspiciously.

"The younger brother loves Ling Ai Ma Yunlu very much and wants to marry Yunlu. In addition, after the last time the younger brother fought with Xiliang soldiers and horses, he suffered heavy losses, so he asked his brother to give up the right to send troops, and from then on he would be a rich man in Dunhuang County. Han Sui said contemptuously.

Quiet!

In the lobby, there was silence, and Ma Teng's brain was not enough, but Ma Xiu was short of breath, and then Ma Xiu said: "Han Sui, what do you mean!" ”

"Hugh, don't be rude, step down." After Ma Teng scolded Ma Xiu, he said, "Brother Xian, I didn't understand what you mean by this. ”

"Haha, brother, are you blind? I mean, I want to put you under house arrest, and ask you to marry Ma Yunlu to me, and hand over the Ma family's military power. Do you understand this time? Han Sui said.

"Han Sui, I regard you as a brother, but you are so vicious.
