"I didn't know that at this time, the lord's secret letter happened to arrive, but the second son didn't know when he arranged a detailed work by my side, and I was careless for a while, and he found out. The second son was thunderous and angry, I think if he hadn't seen my meritorious work in the past, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be willing to save his life! Cheng Gongying let out a long sigh, shook his head helplessly, and sighed that the world is impermanent. At the beginning, Ma Chao was obedient to him, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to turn his face and deny people at this time, and even refused to listen to his explanation, so he drove him out.

When Ma Teng heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said solemnly: "I won't tell you, I also wanted to suspend the Xichuan war, and ordered Meng Qi to respond in the back to prevent Yongzhou from being attacked, but now that Meng Qi has sent troops, I am afraid that he will be urgently summoned back, but Zhang Lu will cover up and kill, what should I do?" ”

As soon as Ma Teng's words came out, Cheng Gongying's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he urgently asked the reason. Ma Teng was suddenly angry, and told Cheng Gongying the ins and outs. When Cheng Gongying heard this, he couldn't help but be frightened, and the more he thought about it, the more he was afraid, and now he suddenly realized why his master wanted him to delay the dispatch of troops to Xichuan.

"The general has always been loyal and loyal to the court, such as today's son is in trouble, and when a loyal minister is imprisoned, he resents the lord. He is righteous in his heart now, and I will act first. Cheng Gongying's mind was racing, and he condensed: "The great cause of saving the country cannot be delayed, but it is not the best policy to send troops rashly. Otherwise, once Yong and Liang are not protected, the Ma family may be wiped out. The general might as well repair a book, and I will rush to it on a fast horse to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the second son! ”

"No, Chao'er has a strong temper, and you have a criminal record, if you go, I am afraid that he will be angry, but he will be more determined to attack Xichuan."

"In this case, the general can postpone the dispatch of troops first, so that it is not too late to wait for the results of the Xichuan war to come, and then try to achieve a great cause."

"Presumptuous!! The Son of Heaven is now in the midst of water and fire, and the great cause of saving the country cannot be delayed for a moment!! As you say, it's really a big rebellion!! As soon as Ma Teng heard this, he became angry and hissed.

"But!!" Cheng Gongying's face changed, but before he finished speaking, Ma Teng got up in a hurry and shouted coldly: "Your Majesty is in such a situation now, all because I mistakenly believed in the rebel son and sent troops to Luoyang, I can't say more, and I can't delay it for a moment!" ”

Ma Teng said angrily, just flicked his sleeves and left. Although Cheng Gongying was anxious, he didn't dare to persuade Ma Teng when he saw him like this.

In other words, after Ma Teng left, Cheng Gongying hesitated alone in the room, thinking about nothing. Suddenly, someone came to report that Ma Yunlu was coming to see him. Cheng Gongying was secretly startled and was about to summon him, but he heard a burst of arrogance outside, and the door was suddenly kicked open.

Immediately, I saw a woman dressed like flames and embroidered with phoenix finch gold silk robes, and was about to enter under the obstruction of two servants.

"Don't be rude!!" Cheng Gongying saw it and hurriedly shouted. When the two servants heard this, they did not dare to be presumptuous, and hurriedly took the order to retreat. But I saw that the woman was slim, her skin was like hoarfrost, and she was beautiful and moving, it was Ma Yunlu. Cheng Gongying was secretly surprised, and couldn't help sighing: "Miss has grown up now, and she is really a beautiful woman." ”

Although Ma Yunlu was in a hurry, when he heard Cheng Gongying's praise like this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, glanced at Cheng Gongying, and deliberately pretended to be angry: "Hmph! Mr. Cheng Gong hasn't seen him for many years, and this mouth is still the same flamboyant tongue. ”

"Huh." Seeing Ma Yunlu so lively and cute, Cheng Gongying couldn't help but smile. At this time, Ma Yunlu suddenly looked solemn, quickly closed the door, and then as if facing a great enemy, Zhense and Cheng Gongying asked: "My father is about to send troops to Luoyang, and this move may make my Ma family suffer." I heard again that Mr. Cheng Gong and his family came to Chang'an, and there must have been an accident in Xiliang. Without further ado, you and I must come up with a plan tonight to save the Ma family from disaster!! ”

Ma Yunlu spoke sharply, and a pair of Ruifeng eyes flashed. Cheng Gongying's face changed, as if he didn't expect Ma Yunlu to know so much, and before he could react, Ma Yunlu sat down first and shouted: "Mr. Cheng Gong, what are you waiting for, you can't think of a way tonight, you don't want to take half a step out of this room!" ”

However, it is said that since Dong Zhuo entered the dynasty, the chaos of the dynasty officially opened the era of the princes competing for the Central Plains, and now, over the years, the war has been disturbed, and heroes from all over the world, such as the former 'Hebei giant' Yuan Shao, 'Youzhou White Horse' Gongsun Zhan, 'Jianghuai overlord' Yuan Shu, 'Jiangdong Tiger' Sun Jian, as well as such as Liu Xuan, Han Fu, Han Sui, Yan Xing, and Li Xun have withdrawn from the stage of this troubled era. And the rise is followed by the "peerless hero" Cao Cao, the "ghost god" Ma Xi, the "benevolent lord of the world" Liu Bei and the "Jiangdong overlord" Sun Ce and other heroes of the troubled times.

Among them, it has to be said that with the rise of the 'ghost god' Ma Xi, the Ma family has also been able to carry forward with this, his father Ma Tenggui is a general, sitting in Yongzhou, and his younger brother Ma Chao has also become the Taishou of Xiliang, guarding Liangzhou.

Therefore, the power of the three heroes of the Ma family can be said to be the most powerful among the princes, and the three sons and sons of the Ma family are all brave and fierce people, and the princes everywhere are afraid, but talking about the Ma family is like talking about the tiger's color change.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao learned that Zhong Xuan fled to Chang'an, thunder and anger, and in front of the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials in the court, he angrily beheaded Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo, Wu Zilan, Ji Ping and the martyrs of the loyal country. With the executioner's knife one by one, although Dong Cheng and others died, the loyal and martyr's integrity did not disperse for a long time, the entire palace was silent for a while, and all officials in the world were afraid. In this regard, Cao Cao showed a bright smile, and announced in public that the general Ma Teng had an affair with Dong Cheng, Zhong Xuan and other anti-thieves, plotted to rebel, endangered the court, and the crime was unforgivable, and in recent years, he has repeatedly repaired the Chang'an Palace, and the heart of rebellion is clearly revealed, so he ordered the heroes of the world to raise the army of Wang Yi to fight the Ma clan together! Those who dare to help will be regarded as anti-thieves and annihilated!

With Cao Cao's announcement released to the world, the princes from all over the country did not react for a while, and even Ma Xi, the ghost god of the tiger and Hebei states, did not move, as if to protect himself, and even his own father's net worth and life were ignored. But it's no wonder, after all, not long ago, Ma Teng launched an announcement to the world to break off with Ma Xien, but what the world didn't expect was that it didn't take long for Cao Cao to attack Ma Teng. Anyone in the world who has some vision can see that the reason why the Ma clan was able to flourish and lie in the land of the four states is all because of the ability of Ma Xi's ghosts and gods, and now Ma Teng can be said to have cut off his arms, and why is he the enemy of the Cao family? And before that, his second son Ma Chao sent troops to Xichuan, and there was no Xiliang's soldiers and horses as a response, but Ruoyong and Liang were attacked, after all, there was a danger of exhaustion. Therefore, for this battle, the princes everywhere were not optimistic about Ma Teng, but they did not make a quick decision, and the biggest factor in responding to Cao Cao was the true attitude of the peerless ghost god!

The surging war, as if it was about to destroy the world, first of all, Mars was first ignited by Yongzhou, Ma Teng heard that Cao Cao beat a rake, and determined that he was a traitorous thief, and he jumped like thunder, and immediately rushed to raise the army, first led 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and ordered his son Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and staff officer Zhong Xuan to lead 30,000 troops to respond behind, and at the same time left 20,000 troops to guard Yongzhou by Cheng Gongying.

However, it was said that Ma Teng seemed to be eager to correct his name, and marched all the way quickly, and it only took seven or eight days to lead his troops to Tongguan dozens of miles away. Cao Ren learned that Ma Teng led his troops to kill, and sent Li Tong and Shi Jian to attack, but Ma Teng fiercely counterattacked and returned. Seeing that Ma Jiajun was so brave, Cao Ren seemed to be timid, so he strictly guarded Tongguan and did not dare to go out lightly.

However, Ma Teng suffered from the lack of siege weapons, and did not dare to storm Tongguan for the time being, so he personally led his troops to fight in front of Tongguan every day. But Cao Ren couldn't hold on, and every time Ma Teng approached, he shot back with random arrows.

As a result, the war was at a stalemate for the time being. In Luoyang City, Cao Cao has not yet transferred a large number of troops and horses to rescue Tongguan. Of course, almost everyone in the world understands that Cao Cao is waiting for someone to make a move.

On this day, Cao Cao had just finished listening to the information about Tongguan, so he summoned Jia Xu and Xun You to discuss the current situation.

Ma Teng had reached Tongguan, but the ghost god did not move, and it is said that he also sent his generals to guard the borders everywhere to guard against the siege of the heroes. It seems that he has been prepared for the current situation. This battle is related to the overlord of the world, our army wins, the Cao clan will prosper, if our army is defeated, the Ma clan will replace my Cao clan! Cao Cao, who was standing in the pavilion, looked in the direction of Yanzhou, and he knew in his heart that the biggest enemy in this battle was definitely not Ma Teng, but the ghost and god in Yanzhou.

"Don't worry about it, lord. We have been waiting for nearly two years to arrange this battle, if the Ma clan can still escape this catastrophe, unless the destiny does not want to be extinct! When Jia Xu heard this, his sharp and cold eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. Xun You, who was on the side, snorted coldly: "Hmph, the lord is holding a big weapon of the society, and he should be the person who inherits the destiny of heaven, and the current situation is not clear, all because the princes in various places have not yet expressed their position." But I'm sure good news will come soon! ”

As soon as Xun You's voice fell, someone suddenly came to report that Liu Ye, who had traveled to Youzhou, had come back and was waiting downstairs. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly summoned in. When he was young, Liu Ye came, and after bowing respectfully, his expression was solemn, and he said in a loud voice: "Uncle Liu Huang replied, for the order of the Son of Heaven, he dare not shirk it, and within half a month, he will send troops to help!" ”

"Good!!" When Cao Cao heard this, his small eyes suddenly shot out two bright rays of light, and he shouted loudly.

Liu Ye said again: "And Uncle Liu Huang also promised that he would unite with Tao Qian, raise the troops of Qing and Xu, and attack them together, and the thieves will be broken!" ”

"Haha, this big-eared thief is shrewd, and he knows that he wants to use this good man, so I will send someone to go again." Cao Cao laughed when he heard this. Jia Xu condensed slightly, and said on the side: "Liu Bei is a hero, if he is not trapped in Youzhou by Ma Xi, it is difficult to come out, and he will inevitably become the enemy." In the future, if it gains the two states of Yan and Hebei, the lord must not hesitate, and he should annihilate it with lightning speed! ”

Jia Xu really had a vicious heart, this war was not over, but he calculated his allies for Cao Cao. But what kind of character Cao Cao is, when he heard this, he smiled and said: "What Wen He saw is exactly what I want, if this person is indulgent, he will inevitably become the second Ma Xi." ”
