The guard asked, but it was Ma Teng and Han Sui who came.

Ma Teng replied: "I heard that the prince of Xianxin came to Xiliang, and the two of us came to greet him, and asked me to pass it on my behalf." ”

"Childe already knows." The guard replied, "I'm waiting in the tent, and I'm asking the two generals to come with me." ”

After looking at each other, Ma Teng and Han Sui followed the guards.

Before Ma Chao left, he instructed Ma Tie, who came with him: "If you see chaos in the other party's camp, it is that I am protecting my father and General Han and is going out to kill." You immediately lead your soldiers to meet you. ”

"Brother, don't worry." Ma Tie agreed: "I will always keep an eye on it." ”

Ma Chao nodded and followed Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Ma Teng and the others came to Yuan Xu's tent, and the guards stopped Ma Chao and the accompanying guards.

Glaring at the guards who stopped them, Ma Chao asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Childe has an explanation." The guard replied: "Only General Ma and General Han are invited inside, and everyone else will wait outside." ”

Ma Chao still had to argue, but Ma Teng said: "Meng Qi is waiting outside......"

In the tent, Yuan Xu heard what Ma Teng said, and ordered outside: "Since Ma Mengqi came with the two generals, let him come in together." ”

Only then did the guards get out of the way and ask Ma Teng, Han Sui and Ma Chao to enter the account.

The guards brought by Ma Teng and others were stopped outside.

The servants entered the tent, and Yuan Xu, who was busy with his head down, stood up and greeted them with a smile on his face: "General Ma, General Han, be polite." ”

Yuan Xu showed politeness, and Ma Teng and Han Sui could only return the gift.

Ma Teng asked Yuan Xu: "Xianxin Gongzi is not in Hebei, come to our Xiliang, I don't know what to do?" ”

didn't respond to him immediately, Yuan Xu's gaze only looked at Ma Chao.

With a smile on his face, he nodded and praised: "It is said that Meng Qi is powerful, I didn't believe it in the past, but now I believe it." ”

Ma Teng and Han Sui looked confused.

Neither of them understood what Yuan Xu came to Xiliang for.

If you want to say that for Xiliang, why do you only focus on Ma Chao?

"Son Xianxin." Yuan Xu was still looking at Ma Chao, and Ma Teng asked again: "Dare to ask what happened when you came to Xiliang?" ”

Yuan Xu replied: "I came to Xiliang, in fact, at the behest of His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty's will?" Ma Teng and Han Sui looked stunned.

Both of them know that Liu Xie is now in Yecheng, and Yuan Xu's meaning is what he means.

Yuan Xu didn't say what he was going to do, but pushed the matter onto Liu Xie's head.

It can be seen that this matter should not be so simple.

"Dare to ask what Your Majesty's will is?" Ma Teng asked again.

"The two generals have been in Xiliang for many years, and the officials have never changed." Yuan Xu replied: "It's time to be promoted." His Majesty ordered me to come over, and it was the two of them who were sealed. ”

As soon as Yuan Xu opened his mouth, he wanted to crown them as officials, and Ma Teng and Han Sui were even more confused.

If Yuan Xu asked them for Xiliang, it would be easier for the two of them to accept it.

came up and made them officials, but they were at a loss.

"If Childe has something to say, just say it clearly." Han Sui asked, "Your Majesty has made you an official, what do you need us to do?" ”

"The Han is Your Majesty's, and the world is Your Majesty's." Yuan Xu pretended to be stunned for a moment, and asked Han Sui rhetorically: "Your Majesty has appointed someone to be an official, do you have to do something for that person?" ”

Han Sui was asked by him, with an embarrassed face.

Ma Teng started a round on the side: "What General Han means is that the two of us have no merits, why did Your Majesty suddenly decide to make us an official?" ”

"Who said that two generals have no merit?" Yuan Xu said: "If it weren't for the two of them guarding Xiliang, once the Qiang people were in turmoil, would the Central Plains still be stable?" ”

What Yuan Xu said is reasonable.

Han Sui and Ma Teng glanced at each other and didn't ask anything more.

Yuan Xu continued: "With the merits of the two generals, Your Majesty has decided to canonize the left and right generals, I don't know what to think? ”

"Your Majesty is entitled, of course we are grateful to Dade." Ma Teng replied: "Childe asked what he thought, but he was afraid that it would be inappropriate." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Yuan Xu pouted: "It's just an official, and the comparison with the two generals next is not worth mentioning at all." ”

"I wonder what His Majesty wants us to do?" Han Sui asked.

"Your Majesty wants the two generals to go to Yecheng to be officials." Yuan Xu said: "The two of them stayed in Xiliang, and he always felt uneasy. ”

"Is Your Majesty not at ease, or is Xian Xin Gongzi not at ease?" Ma Chao asked aloud.

Yuan Xu looked at him and grinned: "I only know that Meng Qi is brave, but I really don't know that he is so sharp in his speech." ”

Ma Chao glared at him angrily and did not answer.

"Okay." Yuan Xu stood up: "Actually, it's not just Your Majesty who is not at ease, but I am indeed at ease with the two generals." ”

Ma Teng and Han Sui frowned.

Yuan Xu continued: "I am now fighting in the south and north for the Great Han Dynasty, and I have pacified many places, and I must have heard of both of them. ”

"The merits of the son, there must be a stroke in the history of the Han Dynasty." Han Sui asked, "But what does this matter have to do with me and Shoucheng?" ”

"Do the two generals really not understand, or do you pretend not to understand?" Yuan Xu said: "There are more than 100,000 soldiers in Xiliang, how many soldiers and horses does the imperial court have?" If the two of them challenge the imperial court, His Majesty will definitely be deeply troubled. If the two of you are still loyal to the Han Dynasty, please take the official seal as soon as possible and return to Yecheng with me. ”

"Father and General Han went to Yecheng, what should Xiliang do?" Ma Chao said: "The Xilangqiang people have always only obeyed them......"

"There are other officials from the Xiliang Society who are here to take care of it." Yuan Xu said: "I only discussed with Your Majesty a few days ago, and the Han Dynasty is now in chaos, which has nothing to do with the self-respect of the princes in various places. If all the princes hand over their military power, the Han court will be as prosperous as ever. ”

"Back then, it was Cao Mengde who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but now he has changed people." Ma Chao snorted coldly: "Yuan Xianxin, don't use Your Majesty to oppress people at every turn......"

"Who can Your Majesty suppress?" Yuan Xu's face suddenly turned cold, and he asked Ma Chao: "Xiliang Ma's family, have you ever put him in your eyes?" ”

"The Ma family is a Han courtier, how can they not take His Majesty in their eyes?" Ma Chao asked rhetorically.

"Since you have put Your Majesty in your eyes, for so many years, Xiliang has paid tribute?" Yuan Xu asked: "When Your Majesty was coerced by Cao Mengde, did the Ma family ever think about saving him from fire and water?" ”

Ma Chao replied: "If Your Majesty is in Luoyang, the Ma family will definitely pay tribute every year." It's a pity that he was first in Xudu, and then went to Yecheng. Is the payment of tribute to His Majesty, or to Cao Mengde or you? ”

"Meng Qiling is sharp-toothed, but he stopped me." Yuan Xu smiled and asked Ma Chao: "You mean, if you are not entitled, General Ma and General Han will not go to Yecheng?" ”

"Of course not." Ma Chao replied: "Father and General Han went to Yecheng, wouldn't they be slaughtered by you?" ”
