Cao Hong looked like he would rather die than be afraid in order to save this money, and shouted: "Lao Tzu is on it!" What do you think~!! ”

This time, Cao Ren finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay! Zilian, don't mess around, even if you don't have a face, don't lose the face of my Cao family! While Cao Ren was talking, he didn't forget to secretly glance at Cao Cao, signaling Cao Hong not to offend Cao Cao again.

At this time, Cao Cao shouted heartlessly: "Haha, this has nothing to do with me." If he wasn't afraid of being beaten to death by those elders in the clan, he could give it a try! My dad has long been tired of Zilian's stingy temperament, and he has been arguing for you several times to settle accounts! ”

When Cao Hong heard this, he suddenly changed color, and couldn't help but shudder, but he didn't expect this fierce man, but now he was like talking about the tiger's color, and said timidly: "The old lady really said that?" ”

Cao Cao smiled brightly and said: "If you don't believe it, you can believe it, of course I will guarantee that my father will not kill you, after all, you are Cao's general!" If he dies like this, Cao will lose face! ”

"Wow~! Bitter me~! When Cao Hong heard this, he was so angry that he looked like he was about to cry. Xu Chu, who was on the side, was also shrewd, and didn't want Cao Hong to complain about himself because of this, so he hurriedly said: "General Cao, don't worry, the silver taels that were rewarded, Xu Mou can use them to use General Cao's food and drink, what do you think?" ”

When Cao Hong heard this, he was immediately shocked, and said with a smile: "What Zhong Kang said is true~!?" ”

Xu Chu saw that Cao Hong's face changed faster than turning a book, and he didn't react for a while, but when he saw Cao Hong's eager appearance, he couldn't help but nod his head and promised: "A gentleman's words are quick and fast, that is naturally true!" ”

"Hahahaha~!! Zhongkang is really my good brother, then I'm welcome~!! Cao Hong's eyes flashed, but he secretly thought that after he went back, he would say to his wives and concubines that it was best to bring his whole family with him, anyway, he said that in order to increase the friendship between his colleagues!

"Hahaha, Zhong Kang, Zhong Kang! Don't regret it, this man can do anything if it comes to money! Xiahou Yuan couldn't help laughing and shouted when he heard this. When Xu Chu heard this, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and suddenly felt as if he had accidentally fallen into a bottomless pit.

"Hahahaha, Zhong Kang, don't listen to that Xiahou Miaocai's nonsense, after you go back, you and I will enhance our relationship!" Regarding the hegemony of the lord, I still have a lot of mentions to discuss with you!! Cao Hong was immediately shocked, first glared at Xiahou Yuan fiercely, and then said to Xu Chu with a bright smile. Xu Chu thought to himself, even if this Cao Hong can eat again, it is impossible to give himself to eat raw and poor, anyway, he got him for half a year, so he doesn't have to care too much about these, plus he was born in a big family, and he has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child.

After a while, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, and Lu Qian reported to Cao Cao one after another. Cao Cao heard that the three armies encircled and killed nearly thousands of troops of the Ma family's army, and captured thousands of troops, so that the loss of the other army was almost half, and he was overjoyed, so he made a reward. All the soldiers were happy and thanked one after another.

On the other hand, Ma Teng, who said that he had suffered a crushing defeat again, after returning to Ercheng, the first thing he did was to order someone to summon Zhong Xuan to see him. I didn't know that a soldier came to report, not long after the soldiers and horses went out to fight today, Zhong Miao said that he received his Ma Teng's order and left Ercheng.

"Wow~~!! Zhong Yuanchang, you are really an inner ghost!! I'm angry, I'm angry~~!! Seeing Ma Teng jumping like thunder, he roared again and again. Speaking of which, the battle situation in the army has been repeatedly learned by Cao Jun in recent days, although Ma Teng believes Zhong Xuan in his heart, he still has some thoughts. And last night, when Ma Chao came to find him late at night, only the two guards outside the door knew about it, and one of them was recommended by Zhong Xuan. At the beginning, Ma Teng saw that the man was strong and cautious, so he let him stay by his side, but he didn't know that this person was the eyeliner that Zhong Xuan secretly arranged.

At this time, Ma Chao, who was listening to his father's roar and roar, suddenly changed his complexion, and his heart seemed to have set off a thousand waves.

"Not good!! If Zhong Yuanchang was really a spy, then wouldn't it be a fraud when he persuaded me to repair my letter and ask for help from my brother? If the elder brother led his troops to the rescue, and the Cao thief would have known that he was secretly ambushing, the elder brother's army would be wiped out!! Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel anxious, and was about to report to Ma Teng. At this time, Ma Chao suddenly changed his mind and said, "No! Right now, Daddy is angry in his heart, and now Zhong Miao is afraid of crime and absconds to prove his identity as a ghost. And when my father and brother turned their faces, it was all because of this Zhong Xuan! Even if it is to say, the final result is to prove that the brother is right, and after the father reacts, he must feel guilty in every way. He already admired his brother even more, although he promised to hand over Xiliang to me, but who dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents. If I had said it at this time, perhaps my father would have been disappointed in my assertions..."

Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but froze, and he didn't know if he was a ghost, so he actually concealed it. At this time, Ma Yunlu hurriedly walked out and shouted, "Daddy!" It turned out that Zhong Xuan was a spy, so it was not wrong to say that the eldest brother suspected him at the beginning!! Now that our army is in a bad situation, I think we should send someone to send a message for help as soon as possible. In addition, our army can also temporarily attract the attention of Cao's army and lead the troops back to Tongguan. But if the Cao thief comes to chase, the eldest brother doesn't have the opportunity to take advantage of the emptiness of Luoyang and kill in one fell swoop, making the Cao thief difficult to take care of!! ”

As soon as Ma Yunlu said this, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were both in good spirits, and they hurriedly persuaded them. When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but groan, but he thought that when he was angry, he not only drove Ma Zongheng out of Chang'an, but also severed the father-son relationship with him, so he really had no face to ask Ma Zongheng for help.

Ma Yunlu saw Ma Teng's complicated expression, and he could see what he was thinking at a glance, and hurriedly said, "Daddy!" The eldest brother has always respected you, even if he was kicked out of Chang'an, he was still very concerned about his father, and asked his daughter, Brother Hugh and Brother Tie to stay with his father and take good care of him!! If you don't believe me, you can ask your two brothers!! ”

As soon as Ma Yunlu's voice fell, Ma Tie's expression was immediately shocked, and he said anxiously: "The little demon is right!" Even though the eldest brother was misunderstood by his father and wronged, he was still very worried about his father!! Now is the time of life and death of my Ma family, as long as my father sends a letter to him, he will immediately lead his troops to come!! ”

Ma Xiu, who was beside him, also looked down, and immediately persuaded: "Doesn't Daddy often say that after I am a loyal martyr, everything should be the most important thing for the country, and the current situation, if my Ma family army is defeated, I am afraid that no one in the world will dare to argue with Cao Thief." When the time comes, His Majesty will be imprisoned in the palace and live a life where he will not see the light of day, how can you bear it, Daddy!? ”

As soon as these words came out, it sounded in Ma Teng's ears like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that the old man has lived a handful of years, and there are not many young people who are clear about this life." Eh, the matter has come to this, for the sake of His Majesty, for the sake of the country, even if the old man doesn't want this old face, he has to ask Xi'er for reinforcements quickly!! ”

As soon as Ma Teng's words came out, Ma Yunlu, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie all showed joy, and the soldiers of the Ma family were also full of joy. However, Ma Chao's expression was a little complicated at this time. Ma Teng had been secretly observing Ma Chao, as if he could see his thoughts, and reassured: "Chao'er, you don't have to worry too much. Even if your eldest brother comes back, his father has already made up his mind to hand over Yongzhou and Liangzhou to you! ”

Ma Teng's words can be described as amazing, and everyone is suddenly changed. Ma Chao was even more like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his body trembled suddenly, and then he was full of guilt, and he knelt down on one knee and said: "Daddy forgive me, the child has something to say!" ”

When Ma Teng heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and suddenly he had a little ominous premonition in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on!?" Chao'er, come on!! ”

Ma Chao was obedient, bowed his head and didn't dare to look at Ma Teng, and said: "The child shouldn't hide it, in fact, about ten days ago, Zhong Yuan often came to find the child and asked the child to send a letter to the eldest brother for help." The child did not dare to cross without permission, and asked him to report to his father first, and then make a decision. But Zhong Yuanchang said that his father and eldest brother had severed the father-son relationship, and he would definitely not be able to save face to ask his brother for help, so he tried his best to persuade the child. The child was also a ghost at that time, and he believed Zhong Yuanchang's traitor's nonsense for a while, and agreed. At this time, I am afraid that the eldest brother has already sent troops to Luoyang, and may even be ambushed by Cao thieves! After all, that Zhong Yuan is often a spy of Cao Thief, and he tried his best to instigate me, there must be trickery!! ”

"What~!!" Ma Teng heard this, roared angrily, and immediately came back to his senses, and couldn't help but scold: "Zhong Yuanchang, you hurt my Ma family so hard~!! ”

"Daddy is angry for the time being, the eldest brother is brave and invincible, and the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, or now he has turned the danger into a disaster and found another good way to rescue our army!! The top priority is to first keep the army without heavy losses, withdraw to Tongguan as soon as possible, and then make pictures!! Ma Yunlu's face was shocked, and now only her daughter can stay calm. When Ma Teng heard this, his face changed, but he quickly calmed down, and replied with his head: "Yunlu is right, you must not mess with yourself now, otherwise you will fall into the hands of the enemy!" And Xi'er was puzzled, I immediately sent a secret letter to explain the ins and outs of one of the qiē to me!! ”

Ma Teng said, then taught people to take the four treasures of the study, and immediately quickly wrote a secret letter, that is, called a confidant soldier, and ordered him to transfer the secret letter to Ma Zongheng. The confidant did not dare to slack off, and after quickly agreeing, he took the secret letter and left quickly.

At the same time, Ma Teng also ordered all soldiers to quickly order all troops to pack up and prepare for the withdrawal of troops. Ma Chao felt guilty and wanted to stay in Ercheng. Ma Teng didn't want Ma Chao to have a loss, so he refused. The father and son quarreled for a while, but Ma Teng initiated his stubborn temper and still refused to change his mind. Ma Chao was helpless, so he had no choice but to comply.

That night, Cao Cao was on a high ground, looking up at the moon and feeling the night breeze, which was quite emotional.

"See the lord!" At this time, I saw a young man wearing a black brocade robe, with sharp eyes and a calm face, Mo was about twenty-three or four years old, walking behind Cao Cao.
