After the sunlight slanted west and left a color with visible traces to the naked eye, Ma Yunlu and Yan Xing rode back one after another.

After riding the horse back, Ma Yunlu seemed to untie a knot in her heart, and she was not cowardly, but generously rode the horse with Gan Ling, walking side by side, and happily let out a burst of laughter like silver bells.

It's like the ease of a boulder when it finally hits the ground.

On the contrary, it was Yan Xing, although he also smiled when he saw the scene of the two of them happily riding the horse, but he deliberately fell behind, and his face couldn't help but show a faint silence.

Dong Dai, who was lagging behind together, keenly observed this, she was very attentive, but she didn't show it, from the moment Ma Yunlu suddenly proposed to ask Yan Xing a question alone, she knew that maybe there was a deep matter between the two men and a woman in front of her.

She was surprised, but also careful, lest she touch the scales of the man next to her.

When she looked at the silent look on Yan Xing's face, after thinking about it, she decided to ask tentatively:

"Mrs. Ma agreed to this family business?"

Yan Xing's face was silent, and when he heard this, he glanced at Dong Dai, who was also sassy and heroic on the horse, his eyes stayed on her wheat-colored skin for a while, and then quickly looked away and nodded lightly.

"The lord has something on his mind?"

This time, the expression on Yan Xing's face changed slightly, but he didn't turn his head or answer, he instead sped up his horse, and after pulling away for a distance, he turned to Dong Dai and said:

"I remember, your archery skills are very good!"

Dong Dai, who couldn't wait for an answer, looked a little lost, but when she heard Yan Xing's words at this time, she still smiled, she didn't reach out to the bow bag and draw the horn bow, but sped up her horse speed and followed Yan Xing's side.

"Since I was thirteen years old, I have never missed a bow or arrow in my hand!"

Yan Xing listened to Dong Dai's words, and his eyes turned from her to the horned bow she hung on the side of the saddle.

Women's strength is congenitally inferior to men's, but Dong Dai's archery skills are not much better than those in the army, and they are even better in skills. Although she was born in a general, she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and has the guidance of a famous teacher, but to practice archery skills like hers, it still takes more than ten years of hard work in the cold and summer.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing rarely smiled at Dong Dai and asked:

"Then since you were thirteen years old, have you ever shot an arrow that you regret?"

"Nope!" Dong Dai blurted out and replied decisively, but quickly frowned and thought for a moment, and then emphasized again: "Never." ”

"The arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent. As for regret, it may be remedied afterwards, but the timing of the arrow is only for a moment, and the opportunity is really gone when it is gone. ”

"So the arrows shot from my hands, I will never regret it!"

Dong Dai's explanation added later was unswerving, Yan Xing squinted slightly, thought for a while, and then said:

"Well, maybe you're right. Things can be remedied, but there is only one chance, and you never need to regret the arrows you shoot! ”

···

A day later, Wei Qi and Zhao Hong were ordered to send an envoy to Ma Teng's army stationed at the mouth of the valley.

When Wei Qi explained his intention and told Ma Teng that Ma Yunlu, who had not been heard from after being captured in the fourth year of Chuping, was in Yan Xing's army at the moment, Yan Xing specially sent himself to marry Ma Teng, and the two families got rid of their previous suspicions and supported the Han family's wishes, Ma Teng was a little shocked, and his face returned to normalcy after half a ring.

The marriage between Gan Ling and Ma Yunlu only surprised him slightly, and what shocked him the most was Yan Xing's attitude towards his defeated army.

Although the Hedong army was far stronger than himself, the envoy Wei Kai who came was not a little domineering, nor was he arrogant in words and deeds, he was humble and polite, and he revealed enough self-confidence between his hands and feet.

In his speech, Wei Qi also vaguely revealed that if Ma Teng is willing to surrender, he can still keep the army in his hand at the moment, and the hussar general will go to the court to seek official positions for the Ma family's father and son, and then choose one of the two counties of Feng Yi and Fufeng as the place of Ma Teng's garrison, and in the future, the hussar general will also entrust Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others with important tasks.

This sincerity can't help but make Ma Teng's heart move.

At present, Yan Xing is strong and weak, if Yan Xing wants to use troops against himself and directly send troops to attack, he has no other way but to lead the army to flee to Anding and Wuwei, which have little future.

Yan Xing dealt with himself, there was no need to make extraneous branches, go to great lengths, send envoys, and propose relatives.

And the conditions given by Yan Xing were also tempting enough, Ma Teng's heart moved, and his attitude towards Wei Qi and Zhao Hong, who came from Hedong, became more and more kind, although he was not in a hurry to give a reply verbally, but he carefully arranged for Wei Qi and Zhao Hong to live and rest in the Chinese army's special tent first, and wanted to wait for himself to discuss with the generals in the army before giving a clear answer.

It's just that after the two envoys Wei Qi and Zhao Hong left, it didn't take long for Ma Teng's tent to quarrel.

In the Battle of Baling, Ma Chao, who was injured in the sudden formation, was wrapped in silk cloth and did not wear armor, and walked quickly into Ma Teng's tent, and Ma Dai followed behind and also walked in.

The tent is all from the Ma family, in addition to Ma Teng, Ma Yi and other Ma clansmen, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie's two younger brothers are also there.

Ma Chao glanced around the tent before reaching out to salute his father, Ma Teng saw that he was injured, and also waved his hand, signaling him to sit down without much politeness.

But Ma Chao did not rush to take a seat, but stood in the tent, looked at Ma Teng and asked:

"My lord, the child was originally recuperating in his own tent, but he heard that Hedong had sent an envoy to come, so he came here. The adults gathered to discuss, did they want to lead the army to surrender to Yan Xing? ”

The word-based peace negotiation became surrender when it came to Ma Chao's mouth, Ma Teng raised his face when he heard the sound, snorted coldly, and did not answer Ma Chao's question.

Ma Yi, who was squinting on the sidelines, hurriedly got up to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile:

"Virtuous nephew, where are you talking about, this is peace, and it is the court that surrenders!"

Ma Chao turned his head and glared at him, and said angrily:

"The Imperial Court? My Ma family has been raising troops in Liangdi for ten years, can't I still see the way of the world, the Han family has declined, what is the use of the imperial court, it is just a plaything in the hands of the court's ministers, and the strong Kansai will belong to the Kansai, and the strong Kanto will belong to the Kanto. Uncle Hugh wants to deceive himself, and if he surrenders to the court today, he will surrender to Yan Xing! ”

Ma Yi was so choked by Ma Chao's words that he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to blush, cough a few times in embarrassment, and re-sit down and stop talking.

The other people in the tent saw that Ma Yi was deflated in front of the indignant Ma Chao, where did they dare to speak out again, they were all silent, and they all looked at Ma Teng, waiting for his response.

Ma Teng was also not very satisfied with his eldest son, who had been too sharp recently, he snorted and said with a dark face: "What do you want to say?" ”

Ma Chao's neck stiffened, and he said excitedly: "The child does not approve of surrendering!" ”

"You! Okay, okay, so tell me, why is that? When Ma Teng heard this, his face changed greatly, his chest rose and fell a few times, and then he couldn't hold back the scolding, and the halberd pointed at Ma Chao, who was opposed in public, and asked loudly.

"Your Excellency should know that Han Sui has already led his troops to Longguan Road and entered the right Fufeng."

"Hmph." Hearing Ma Chao talk about Han Sui, Ma Teng's face was even more lascivious, he failed to attack and kill Han Sui, but was defeated by Han Sui's army, and even his wife and children who accompanied the army were killed by Han Sui's sergeant, this incident has always been a deep heart disease in Ma Teng's heart.

"So what?"

"At this time, we can sit and watch Han Sui fight with Yan Xing, because it is convenient to take advantage of it, so why should we rush to surrender to Yan Xing early."

"It's ridiculous, there is no surplus food in the army, and the soldiers and horses have no place to stand, if you don't negotiate peace with Yan Xing at this time, and the soldiers are scattered, what are you talking about sitting and watching Han Sui and Yan Xing fight."

"Although there is a shortage of food in the army, it can be withdrawn to Anding from the valley through the Jingshui River Valley road. Anding Yang Qiu is quite powerful, and the adults can unite with him, borrow grain from him, and ask him to raise troops together to seek Guanzhong. ”

"Settle Yang Qiu, the county is a strong man, and it is better to negotiate peace with Yan Xing, who is the general of the hussars of the dynasty, and the new governor of the three states of Yong, Liang, there are soldiers and food, and he is the one who can do things."

Ma Teng also learned some things about the situation in the Kanto region from Wei Qi and other sources, and knew that although the Son of Heaven continued to move east to Xudu, Yan Xing also negotiated peace with Cao Cao and earned enough political capital for himself in the Kansai.

Ma Chao shook his head and said with some sadness:

"Don't you understand, my lord, it is precisely because Yang Qiu is only a county and county that he is in awe of us, and he is also afraid that Yan Xing will annex it after occupying Guanzhong, so he will unite with us to protect each other."

"But if we surrender to Yan Xing, the east of the river is strong, and we will be like fish and turtles in the net, and we will have no power to resist. We have less than 10,000 soldiers, and there are many brave men in the army, if Yan Xing is jealous afterwards, life and death are not just a matter of words. Please think twice! ”

Speaking of this, Ma Chao's original indignant momentum has also eased, and he has a little more bitter pleading.

Ma Teng's hand raised because of anger at this time also let go, he glared at his own son Ma Chao, although he also felt that Ma Chao had some truth in his heart, but in the decision of this matter, Ma Teng did not intend to listen to his eldest son Ma Chao.

It has been ten years since the army was raised, and today, the Ma family father and son have also come to a fork in the road.

Since Ma Teng raised his army, he was first subject to the kingdom, and then defeated by Han Sui, and tried to pass the middle many times, but each time the sky did not bless him, and he failed. was either defeated by Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, or defeated by Li Dao and Wang Cheng.

Nowadays, Wuwei's hometown fell into the hands of Handan Shang and Zhang Meng, and several cities between Wangyu and Chongqing were also occupied by Han Sui's army.

Therefore, instead of going to settle Yang Qiu for a long time, Ma Teng, who was a little disheartened, thought that it was better to surrender to Yan Xing.

Anyway, after the surrender, there will be no shortage of his own official position, grain and soldiers in a short period of time, and in the future, as Wei Qi said, to run Liangzhou, maybe he will use his own Liangdi general again.

However, Ma Chao is different, since he was a child, he has been carrying a spear on a horse and fighting in the army, and now he has just entered the age of being in his prime and ambitious, he boasts that he has the martial arts and courage to look down on the world, and has the brave and good fighting Xiliang cavalry, how can he be willing to give up his own foundation when there is still a glimmer of hope, go to send people under the fence, and look up to people.

Before they knew it, the father and son, one old and one young, looking at each other in the tent, had gradually drifted apart, and each walked to the opposite side of the competition.
