Ma Chao pressed Ma Dai's arm and withdrew at once, and his body was also a few steps away from Ma Dai.

The question raised by Ma Dai is indeed tricky.

Ma Teng's camp tent is the most heavily defended in the large army camp, and if you want to kill the Hedong envoy in the other tent, you must first solve the guards of Ma Teng's camp tent.

Although Ma Chao is brave, he can rely on the strength of one person to enter the area of Ma Teng's camp tent, and it is very difficult to kill two Hedong envoys without alarming the guards of Ma Teng's camp and the guards brought by the Hedong envoys.

If you bring your own personal guards, in such a sensitive period now, I am afraid that as soon as you get close to the special tent of the Hedong envoy, you will immediately attract the attention and attention of others, and if you attract all the sergeants sent by Ma Teng to protect the Hedong envoy, then the plan to kill the Hedong envoy will also be exposed.

Ma Chao frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly said:

"How about looking for Pang Lingming to help?"

Pang De is a few foreign military officials who can stand out in the army after defecting to Ma Teng's army. Ma Teng also valued and trusted this loyal, steady, and conscientious young man, and handed him the important duties of patrolling at night and guarding the camp tents of the Chinese army.

And because they are both martial artists and learn martial arts, Pang De is closer to Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others.

If Pang De can help him inside the camp, then Ma Chao will take a few guards at night, and the chance of succeeding in attacking and killing the Hedong envoy will be greatly increased.

Ma Dai was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation:

"Ling Ming has always been loyal and upright, but I'm afraid that I won't agree with my brother."

"Ignore these things for now, I'll find an opportunity to invite him to the account now, and no matter what means are used, I must get him to agree to help me and wait."

Ma Chao slapped his fist with his fist, making a muffled sound, and the pain from his palm made him make up his mind immediately, he didn't care about the embarrassment on Ma Dai's face, and he wouldn't look forward or backward again.

···

At night, the crescent moon hangs high.

In the other tent, Wei Qi and Zhao Hong sat opposite each other.

"Wei Jun, do you think that I will be able to persuade Ma Teng to surrender when I wait for this mission?"

Zhao Hong gently stroked the beard on his mouth, looked at Wei Qi, and asked with a chuckle.

In his opinion, this envoy is an important matter for Wei Qi and for himself.

Now Yan Xing's command is full of talents, in addition to the first batch of talents such as Pei, Wei, and Jia who entered Hedong at the beginning and recruited, and then unified the land of the three rivers, and got the second batch of talents such as Chang Lin, Yang Pei, Yang Jun, Xun Wei, and Pan Miao, and then welcomed the Son of Heaven at this age, and took advantage of the righteousness of "Zhongxing Han Dynasty and returning to the old capital", and expelled a group of celebrities such as Xun You, Du Ji, Sima Zhi, and Zheng Hun from the sea to enter the Hussar General's Mansion.

After recovering the land of Guanzhong, a new batch of talents from Sanfu will be ushered in.

New talents will be sent to the government one after another to experience, and old people like them whose loyalty and ability have been verified will be sent to the local states and counties.

Pei Qian and Jia Kui, who are in the same sequence as Wei Qi, have already served as the local guards of 2,000 stones. If this envoy does not disgrace his mission, then if he thinks about it, Wei Qi will be released, and a place of 2,000 stones will not be able to escape.

And Zhao Hong himself, as a rare Liang man with literary talents under Yan Xing's command, if he can go further in recruiting Ma Tengjun this time, he will also be entrusted with the important task of running Yongliang Land in the future.

Wei Qi also noticed Zhao Hong's overtone, he gently rolled up his sleeves, and said with a smile:

"Ma Teng has no way out, if he does not surrender, there is only one way to lose. And today, after I finished talking about my intention in the tent, not only Ma Teng was quite moved, but even the other people in the tent were also happy, obviously the others thought that there was only one way to defeat, and suddenly heard the good news of the surrender, and they were all attracted by the heavy profits thrown by the hussar general. ”

"The generals in Ma Teng's army are already moved, and the soldiers have no heart to fight. In my opinion, the surrender of Ma Teng's army will generally not be bad. ”

Zhao Hong received Wei Qian's heart-to-heart reply, and the smile on his face became a little thicker, and he bowed his head and said:

"Wei Jun has insight into people's hearts, in fact, today I entered the camp all the way, and I also deliberately observed the soldiers in Ma Teng's camp, although Ma Teng's personal cavalry armor is strictly organized, but the other generals under the command of the troops have a dish, and the war horses have lost weight."

"It seems that although Ma Teng fled to the valley, the shortage of food in the army has not improved, and even after abandoning all kinds of baggage, it has become more serious."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hong paused for a moment, and said with a smile:

"Ma Tengjun is at the end of his rope, in fact, even if he doesn't descend this time, he can't make any waves. We have already learned some of the inside information of his army, and after returning, we can advise the hussar generals, so that the hussar generals and Gan generals can quickly send troops, and take advantage of the fatigue of their men and horses to cut them off in one fell swoop, so as to avoid future troubles. ”

Wei Qi nodded, but still said cautiously:

"There is no urgency. I see Ma Teng today, although he is a rough person, but he treats us very respectfully, I must have the idea of surrendering in my heart, and I will see it tomorrow when I go to pay homage. Nowadays, we still need to be cautious in our words and deeds, don't make mistakes, if it arouses the jealousy of Ma Teng and others, it will be a big mistake. ”

"Thank you Wei Jun for reminding me, Hong knows."

During the conversation, a gust of evening wind blew, and the sound of the transfer of troops and horses outside the tent was faintly heard.

Could it be that there is a change in Ma Teng's army tonight!

···

Outside the area of Ma Teng's tent, Ma Chao, who was waiting in a dark corner with ten guards in leather armor and sharp blades, waited with a solemn face.

I don't know why, when facing danger, the more critical he is, the more his heart can calm down, and Ma Chao has even been able to make calm and decisive judgments and reactions far beyond ordinary people at such times many times.

It is with this extraordinary talent that Ma Chao has survived many dangerous battles, and what has died is the enemy who originally had the advantage in front of him.

Tonight's moonlight was dim and hazy, shining on Ma Chao in the dark corner, and it could only show a little outline on his cold face, only his pair of black and white eyes, which still shone brightly in the night.

The ten personal guards he selected were all senior soldiers who could still see far at night and had experience in night battles, with them, plus himself, Ma Chao had enough confidence to be able to deal with the Hedong envoys and their guards in a short time.

What's more, tonight there is the secret assistance of Pound, who is staying in the military camp tent.

Under Ma Chao's combination of soft and hard, Pang De has been forced to agree to help Ma Chao temporarily transfer away the sergeant who patrols the night, and as for the rest of the things, he can only hand over the rest to Ma Chao himself.

Ma Chao was not worried about this, he had great confidence in his own strength, he believed that he could cut off the heads of the two Hedong envoys before the other night watchmen arrived, and completely put this matter to an end, so that the wavering soldiers in the army could only fall to his side and follow him to settle down and fight for a way out.

The night was already deep, and the frost outside the tent was a little thicker.

Ma Chao sniffed the chill in the evening breeze, calculating the hour in his heart, and now it was close to the time he and Pang De agreed to do it.

Just as he was measuring the appointed moment, a slight clicking sound came to his ears, and someone stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground and tiptoed into the darkness.

"Bozhan?"

Ma Chao clenched the ring knife in his hand, the pupils of his eyes dilated sharply, looking at the silhouette of the person who came, he screamed quietly, and the guards behind him moved their bodies and raised their blades with momentum.

"It's me, brother!"

The person who came was Ma Dai, he quickly replied softly, and then quickened his pace and walked to Ma Chao's side.

"Brother, the torch at the door of my uncle's tent has already signaled the promise, Ling Ming has already acted, and the time has come, it's time for me to do it!"

Ma Dai's voice was still trembling slightly, Ma Chao smiled, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and signaled him to relax.

"You'll follow me later, the sword has no eyes at night, don't be injured by mistake."

"I know."

"Good!" Ma Chao turned to look at his guards, and resolutely waved his hand to order, and everyone who was ready to attack immediately took the order, followed Ma Chao, and rushed out of the darkness quickly.

Ma Chao rushed to the periphery of Ma Teng's camp area with his personal guards, and the sergeants patrolling on the agreed route were indeed temporarily transferred, and most of the night torches lit along the way were deliberately extinguished, and all of this created an excellent opportunity for Ma Chao and others to infiltrate.

After Ma Chao and the others approached the periphery of the camp tent area, everyone worked together to break down a fence, and from this corner that had been selected early, they rushed into Ma Teng's camp area.

In the tent area, several bonfires in the vicinity have either been extinguished, or they have become bright and dark under the blowing of the evening breeze, Ma Chao identified the location, commanded the guards, and rushed quickly in the direction of the other tent where the envoys lived in the east of the river.

It's just that after rushing out of more than a dozen steps, Ma Chao heard the sound of saber rattling in the dark, the pores on his scalp opened instantly, and the whole person quickly stopped his body, and even the guards and Ma Dai behind him quickly stopped.

Ma Chao glanced around keenly, listening with his ears sideways, and this time he heard not only the sound of the blade unsheathed, but also the uproar of the iron armor, and the heavy sound of leather boots on the ground.

"It's not good, get out of here!"

Ma Chao only whispered, then turned around and started to run, but after he turned and ran a few steps, the surrounding area instantly lit up again.

The bonfire was rekindled and the torches were held high. The soldiers who poured out from the many military tents, dressed in armor and armed with bows and arrows and spears, quickly surrounded Ma Chao, Ma Dai and his guards from all directions.

Under the illumination of many torches, the burly Ma Teng's face was heavy, and accompanied by Ma Yi, Pang De and other generals, he strode towards Ma Chao, who was surrounded.
