"That's right. It is no wonder that Yuan Benchu has been slow to send troops. It turned out that Yuan Highway's vanguard general had already had the heart to communicate with the enemy. Yuan Ben saw that Chen Liu's rear was not chaotic, and he didn't dare to act without permission. Ma Zongheng listened, and sighed slightly in his heart, in fact, not long ago, he and Cheng Yu had a calculation about Yuan Shao, and Cheng Yu thought that Yuan Shao was likely to join forces with Yuan Shu to deal with Chen Liu's Cao Cao. At that time, Ma Zongheng also hoped that the Yuan brothers would be able to eradicate Cao Cao, a confidant and great enemy.

Although, when Ma Zongheng was in Luoyang in the past, he had a friendship with Cao Cao. But for Cao Cao, Ma Zongheng really didn't dare to have a deep friendship, and more often, he regarded him as a great enemy that must be eradicated!

But Cao Cao is Cao Cao, how can it be so easy to be calculated? At the moment, the Yuan brothers haven't even made a move, and their conspiracy and tricks are probably going to be stillborn.

"In this way, I should be careful and speed up the war in Yanzhou." Ma Zongheng couldn't help but be a little glad that he was able to get such useful information from Sun Ce's mouth. After all, Yuan Shao is powerful, but if he can't attack Chen Liu, he will turn back to deal with him. However, under Cheng Yu's discordant plan, at least what can be guaranteed is that Liu Dai will never join forces with the capricious Yuan Shao again.

"The name of the brave and fierce tiger marquis is like thunder, and the name of loyalty and righteousness has spread all over the world, and the two alliances are indispensable. But I want to ask, is this a long-term solution, or is it a temporary need? Ma Zongheng said this. Sun Ce changed color again, and he didn't seem to expect that Ma Zongheng went straight to this point, and hurriedly replied: "My Sun family sincerely came to make friends, and I hope to be able to form a friendship with General Ma forever, support each other, and remain unchanged for a long time!" ”

"Okay, so I won't talk nonsense, from today on, Ma and Sun will be allies, but I also ask Young Master Sun to promise me."

"Please also ask General Ma to speak bluntly."

"I don't want anyone to know about the alliance between you and me. For this reason, I am afraid that I will have to wronged you, Young Master Sun. ”

"What does this mean General Ma?"

As soon as Sun Ce's voice fell, Ma Zongheng suddenly shouted, and the guards outside listened to the order, Sun Ce's eyes widened, and Huang Gai also stood up in a hurry, seeing that some guards had pulled out their sharp blades, they couldn't help but scold angrily.

At this time, Sun Ce and Ma Zongheng were looking at each other, Ma Zongheng waved his hand lightly, and said the word "catch" lightly: "Capture!" ”

Ma Zongheng gave an order, and those guards immediately pounced, Huang Gai was furious and shouted: "Your grandmother's, Ma Zongheng, you traitor who is inconsistent with the inside and the outside, Lao Tzu fought with you~~!! ”

Unexpectedly, when Huang Gai was attacking, Sun Ce grabbed Huang Gai, and then muttered a few words in Huang Gai's ear, Huang Gai changed color in a row, and glared at Ma Zongheng fiercely, but in the end he still didn't choose to resist and was arrested. Hu Che'er, who was beside him, was very anxious, and wanted to speak for Sun Ce and the others several times, but he still held back.

That night, in the mansion of the county government, Ma Zongheng was sitting on the platform in front of the flower garden, holding Ma Yi in one hand, making him laugh while laughing himself.

"You're a strange man! The Sun family has always been loyal and martyrful, and this time I came to make friends sincerely, you don't set up a banquet to entertain you, but you even captured the people of the Sun family! Although you have the intention to hide this, there is already a rumor in the city! Suddenly, a nice voice came from behind Ma Zongheng, but although the voice was good, it was a little angry, puzzled and confused.

In the entire Puyang City, the only one who dares to talk to Ma Zongheng like this is probably Wang Ying.

"Don't worry about so many things in a woman's family, you will understand in the future." Ma Zongheng glanced at Wang Ying lightly.

When Wang Ying heard this, she was immediately angry, put her hands on her waist, and scolded: "Wow, you think I'm troublesome now!" You unconscionable! ”

Listening to Wang Ying scolding, Ma Zongheng's precious son giggled.

"You see, even my family Yi'er has a better conscience than you!" Wang Ying seemed to have received great support, and happily snatched the big fat baby Ma Yi, who was about to turn one year old, from Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "My good lady, it's rare to have free these days, so let me accompany my baby child." ”

"Hmph, that's it! My family's romantic husband is about to get married again, and of course I don't have time to pay attention to our mother and son! Wang Ying listened, tilted her head, and said with a vinegar smell and resentment.

"No, the marriage is actually just a 'pretense', I'm going to send troops to Yanzhou." At this time, Ma Zongheng's face suddenly became solemn.

As soon as these words fell, Wang Ying couldn't help frowning slightly, and sat next to Ma Zongheng, with gorgeous and moving eyes, as if she wanted to speak but didn't say it, she looked at Ma Zongheng for a while, making Ma Zongheng feel uncomfortable, and thought that there was something on her face.

"Xianggong, you have changed a lot."

After speaking, Wang Ying's face showed a little pity. Ma Zongheng smiled faintly and said, "Now that the power is greater, the responsibility has also become greater." Sometimes, I can't help myself. It's just that I've wronged Wan'er, and I want you to comfort her for me, but don't let her run away. ”

As Ma Zongheng said before, his big wedding with Qiao Wan this time was actually just a 'cover' for Liu Dai to relax. Of course, the marriage is not fake, it just makes Liu Dai think that he is only concerned about the marriage at the moment, and has no intention of violating Yanzhou. Once his defenses are relaxed, it will be time for him to seize Yanzhou with lightning speed!

"I don't want to care about your affairs outside, but at home, you have to promise me that you must treat us sisters with sincerity, and there must be no hypocrisy, otherwise I will never spare you!" Wang Ying's face became unusually serious, and Ma Zongheng was obedient, but he chose to hug her into his arms to show his answer.

Wang Ying's delicate body trembled slightly, and she sighed softly in her heart, from the first day she met this man, she knew that this man could not belong to her.

Two days later, but saw Pu Yangcheng crowded with people early, in addition to the greeting avenue, everywhere was overcrowded, people everywhere but saw the greeting team come, sitting on a red horse horse, wearing a red auspicious wedding dress of the horse, all cheered to welcome. Ma Zongheng was also overjoyed, with a smile on his face, greeting the people around him, very enthusiastic. The people sent each other all the way, and then came to the Qiaofu mansion, with the sound of firecrackers, after a while, I saw a group of people hugging the matchmaker and coming out, and the surrounding maids also looked like Peugeot, each with a red umbrella. When the matchmaker carried the bride on her back and sat in a sedan chair, the people all made good friends, played music in all directions, and each competed to celebrate.

After worshipping Qiao Xuan and other elders, he got on the horse and led the team to welcome his relatives back, and the people sent each other all the way with enthusiasm.

Immediately after a series of ceremonies, the horse is also familiar with the fall, and soon it will be the link of worshiping heaven and earth, and then worship Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan is happy to ride the dragon fast son-in-law, but also smiled from ear to ear, after giving a couple of bride price, it is the turn of the husband and wife to worship.

Under the congratulations of the guests, Ma Zongheng found that he was facing him, with a red hijab and a graceful posture, but he was a little trembling at this time.

"Don't be afraid, I will treat you well in the future, and if you fail me, let your wife deal with it." Ma Zongheng laughed in a low voice, and under his comfort, Qiao Wan shook it first, and suddenly a teardrop fell in the red color, which happened to drop on Qiao Wan's white jade hand.

"Husband and wife have a wedding ceremony~!" At this time, Hu Che'er, who was in charge of etiquette, shouted with a loud voice. As Ma Zongheng and Qiao Wan saluted, the two officially became husband and wife, and the surrounding guests all came to congratulate, and there were bursts of piercing salutes outside. Qiao Wan was immediately sent into the cave room, and Ma Zongheng, Qiao Xuan, and his brothers began to greet the guests and lead them into the table.

At the same time, not far from the county office, in a small mansion on the northeast side, a table of wine was also set up.

Wang Xiaohu smiled brightly, and bowed his hand: "My lord has specially instructed that you have really been wronged these days, and it is Young Master Sun." Today is the day of my father-in-law's great joy, and I invite you to eat and drink to your heart's content. Later, my father-in-law will come to apologize in person. ”

"It doesn't have to be. Today is General Ma's big day, and he should accompany the guests, not to mention that there must be a mixture of fish and dragons in the county government now, if General Ma is discovered, won't it be a failure? Sun Ce poured himself a drink, and after taking a drink, he glanced at Wang Xiaohu lightly and said.

"Young master, that's right! What kind of character General Ma is, how can we little people see him when they see him, if we accidentally offend him again, I'm afraid we will die this time! Huang Gai, who was sitting next to him, said sourly, a pair of fierce big eyes full of anger.

"Hehe, General Huang really loves to laugh." Wang Xiaohu listened, but he smiled calmly, and he didn't attack or pay attention to it. Huang Gai also felt bored, grabbed a jar of wine, opened the lid, and drank it with his head up.

It turned out that not long after Ma Zongheng captured Sun Ce and the others, he did not imprison them in prison, but transferred them to this remote mansion. After Sun Ce and the others slept all night, Ma Zongheng came secretly the next day and told Sun Ce his idea.

It turned out that Ma Zongheng believed that in today's troubled times, most of the princes around the country are ambitious, most of these people are insidious and cunning, and there is no leaky wall in the world. So it's better to make people think that the two families are at odds on the surface, and at a critical moment, the two join forces and kill one of them out of reach, wouldn't it be better?

Immediately, Ma Zongheng and Sun Ce analyzed the current situation, thinking that the era of competing in the Central Plains may last for more than ten years, and he hopes to form an alliance with the Sun family for a long time, support each other, and create a great cause together.

Of course, Ma Zongheng has this determination, firstly, he values Sun Jian's character, if the situation has changed a lot today, maybe Sun Jian will soon turn against Yuan Shu, so that he will not go to attack Jingzhou and be shot by Huang Zu. The Sun family is less calamity, and how grand the power will be in the future, even Ma Zongheng dare not imagine.

And Sun Jian has a strong temper and is loyal, and if he forms an alliance with this kind of person, he doesn't have to prevent him from stabbing him in the back.
