For Sun Ce's attention, although Tai Shici was grateful, but at this time he still had other worries in his heart, and after thanking him, he couldn't help asking: "I don't know how small Liu Yangzhou's family is..."

When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but soon laughed: "Ziyi doesn't have to be careful, I have ordered no one to disturb, only monitor outside the mansion, if you don't like it, I can withdraw the soldiers." ”

"Lord, I'm afraid there are a lot of diners raised by Liu Miao in this Liu Xiang's mansion, although these people are all from the three religions and nine streams, but they all have a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, once these people take the opportunity to escape, maybe it will be a hidden danger in the future." This time, it was Lu Su's turn to get nervous and shouted anxiously.

"Hahaha, Zijing is too careful, as you said, it's just some people from the three sects and nine streams, and these rats alone can harm my grandson Bo Fuye!?" Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Such arrogance also made Tai Shici and Shi Yi and others respectful.

However, it was said that it was during the period when Sun Ce broke through Qu'a and subdued Tai Shici, a fierce general in the world, and officially dominated Jiangdong. In Chang'an City, Ma Zongheng and Zhang Jaw, Xu Huang, Li Dian and others were listening to Feiyu's detailed report, Cao Cao's wise generals were full of favor, and set up twelve checkpoints in Hedong in a few days, and each key position was guarded by elites, and even the Xiahou brothers were personally dispatched. At the same time, even Bingzhou seems to have reacted, in recent days, Yuan Tan has mobilized a large number of troops and horses, and even sent his brother Yuan Shang to the border of Bingzhou to guard in case of emergency.

"Hmph, it seems that the Cao thief and the remnants of the Yuan family have joined forces and want to trap me in Chang'an!" Ma Zongheng's ghost-like eyes, flashing with a brilliant light, said coldly. When Zhang Jaw heard this, he couldn't help but solemnly respond: "I'm afraid it's not only that, Cao Thief is cunning, and now that the lord is not in Yanzhou, I'm afraid that he will take the opportunity to attack." Fortunately, the Cao thief has repeatedly fought in recent years, and the food is not much, and the Cao thief does not dare to move his troops lightly. ”

"But I have heard that Cao Thief uses soldiers like gods, and he can often surprise people by judging the situation, and catch the enemy who is against him off guard, and he should not be taken lightly!" Li Dian, who has always been steady, couldn't help but say.

At this time, Xu Huang looked at him for a while, and shouted loudly: "Cao Thief is powerful, since Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway died, in the world, only my Ma family can fight against him." The Cao thief will regard us as a thorn in the side, and we must not delay it now, otherwise the Cao thief will continue to send reinforcements to Hedong to guard it, and the remnants of the Yuan clan hate us to the core, and I am afraid that they will not let it go. In my opinion, it's better to leave as soon as possible, the lord has the protection of me and the other three, and then select an elite to break back to Yanzhou, but it is not difficult!! ”

As soon as Xu Huang said this, everyone couldn't help but feel strong, and then they all looked at Ma Zongheng who was sitting at the head. Ma Zongheng laughed, his eyes flashed with jing, and said with a smile: "What Gongming said is exactly what I want." Moreover, I heard that Yuan Shao cherished his third son Yuan Shang and intended to hand over the great cause of Hebei to him, so as the eldest son, Yuan Tan has always resented him. I have a plan, maybe it can be used! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, the three of them couldn't help but look shocked, and hurriedly asked. Ma Zongheng then Shen Se taught: "We can teach Fei Yu to do this and so in the area of Bingzhou......"

"I see! According to the lord's words, could it be that he wanted to go to the state and then turn back to Yanzhou? Zhang Jaw reacted quickly, and immediately asked. Ma Zongheng smiled and bowed his head. Zhang Jaw thought for a while, and then said: "If you want to act according to the lord's plan, I am afraid that there must be a person who is familiar with the topography of the state." Otherwise, once we get lost, we may become Weng Zhong's generation! Zhang Jaw's face sank, and his face was quite solemn and cautious. At this time, Li Dian's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a little more smile in his honest face: "Haha, General Zhang doesn't have to worry about this." Back then, the general sent me to the Bingzhou area to explore the terrain in case Yuan Shao sent troops to attack, so I was quite familiar with the terrain of Bingzhou, and even knew all the little-known secret ways! ”

"Haha, God help me!! And in case even if I am discovered by Cao Thief's men or the remnants of the Yuan family, I still have guerrilla tactics to entangle with it! Ma Zongheng was overjoyed when he heard this, smiled, and suddenly his face sank, and he sighed: "It's just that I still have something to worry about in Chang'an." Leaving in such a hurry, I am afraid that I will be left in the future and regret it. ”

"Could it be that the lord is referring to the general?" Xu Huang was obedient and couldn't help frowning. However, it was said that although Ma Teng released Xu Huang and Li Dian, he did not restore the positions of the two for a long time, and just a few days ago, Ma Teng summoned the two of them, suggesting that if the two were interested, they could return to Ma Zongheng's side to assist them. The two of them were shocked, and secretly felt that the relationship between Ma Teng and his lord seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, and faintly, there was a little more preparation.

Later, Ma Zongheng learned that there didn't seem to be much reaction on the surface at that time, but there was still a bit of pain hidden in his eyes, but he comforted Xu and Li. The two of them don't care about Chang'an's fame and fortune, in the past two years, they have seen Ma Zongheng leading a group of warriors and heroes in Chang'an, and they have long had the intention to go back to Ma Zongheng's side. It's just that what makes the two have to worry is that now Ma Teng's attitude towards him has suddenly become lukewarm, and he seems to have a mustard.

"Huh... It seems that my father is still bent on supporting the Han family, which has long collapsed and existed in name only. However, I am bent on reforming and creating a new new one, which will inevitably conflict with my father's aspirations. It's just that what I didn't expect was that my father was so ruthless that he seemed to have abandoned the father-son relationship for many years! Speaking of which, Ma Zongheng's face was more helpless. said that since he saw the blood edict on that day, Ma Teng was not only lukewarm to him, but even avoided him as the eldest son! These days, he has always wanted to repair the relationship, but Ma Teng is so cold, as if he is not like his son, he has been left out in the cold, and there is suffering in his heart. Seeing this, Zhang, Xu, Li and others hurriedly comforted them. After a while, Ma Zongheng's face improved a little, and he reluctantly laughed: "You brothers don't have to worry too much, go and prepare good horses and rations first, I'll go and take care of it tonight, and tomorrow night, I'll set off!" ”

"The lord is going to leave in such a hurry?" Xu Huang heard that Ma Zongheng was leaving tomorrow night, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"As you said, there is no room for delay now, we must act as soon as possible, so as not to lay a net between the Cao thief and the remnants of the Yuan family, and go back to Yanzhou as soon as possible, and we can also stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible." The horse said with a shock, and the determination in his eyes was extraordinary. When the three of them met, they looked at each other and agreed.

That night, in the general's mansion, Ma Zongheng had just walked into the small pavilion in the back garden, and saw Ma Teng standing with his hands in his hands. ”

Ma Teng's voice was a little colder than before, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but feel sorry for it, sighed secretly, and arched his hand: "The child greets Daddy." ”

Ma Teng did not answer Ma Zongheng's response, and even turned his back to Ma Zongheng, as if he didn't even want to look at him.

"Daddy hates me so much!" Ma Zongheng's heart was pinched, and there was an indescribable pain, so he replied: "Back to my father, I listened to the report carefully, Cao Thief seems to know that I came to Chang'an, and set up twelve checkpoints in the east of the river in successive days, and the remnants of the Yuan family in Bingzhou also reacted, it is said that at this time Yuan Shangzheng led thousands of men and horses to the border pass to prepare. ”

"Your trip back must be dangerous, you have to be more careful...", ordinary people can understand that this situation is extremely dangerous, but Ma Teng is still cold, and he said lightly, which makes Ma Zongheng's heart ache even more. But Ma Zongheng also has the same stubborn temperament as Ma Teng, although he was in great pain in his heart, he still didn't come out, and promised lightly.

As a result, the father and son fell into a strange dead silence. Suddenly, Ma Zongheng seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "No matter how much my father hates me and resents me, Yanyu, Yi'er, and Yu'er are all the heirs of my Ma family, but if the situation calms down in the future, I will definitely come to see my father." Also, my Qiao sisters are also pregnant, or when they see their father again, there are more fathers...! ”

Before Ma Zongheng finished speaking, Ma Teng suddenly interrupted: "Now that the society is chaotic and the state affairs are still undecided, how can Ma have the heart to take care of family affairs?" Let's talk about it later! Although the Central Plains is calm now, it is really turbulent. You better go back quickly and take control of the overall situation, so as not to panic the situation and bring disaster to your majesty!! ”

Ma Zongheng thought that Ma Teng's attitude would change after hearing about his grandchildren, but he thought that Ma Teng's attitude of uncertain state affairs and insignificant family affairs made Ma Zongheng's heart cold, his body couldn't help trembling slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little more angry.

"Daddy is so ruthless! Then please take care of your father!! The child has retired~!! Ma Zongheng gritted his teeth and shouted, the voice was so loud that it resounded throughout the Great General's Mansion. At this time, tears kept pouring out of Ma Zongheng's eyes. Ma Zongheng's face was full of unwillingness, reluctance and unspeakable pain, seeing that Ma Teng had no reaction, Ma Zongheng's heartache was like a knife cut, and suddenly he knelt down and shouted in a crying voice: "Dad~!! ”

This dad shouted extremely urgently, but it still couldn't move Ma Teng, who was as hard as a rock. Ma Zongheng looked at the motionless Ma Teng, gritted his teeth, held back his tears, and bowed his head.

Three knocks, one after another, but Ma Zongheng didn't know that each of these blows was like a giant hammer hitting Ma Teng's heart, almost knocking his heart to pieces.

"The boy is gone!" And Ma Teng's ruthlessness seemed to make Ma Zongheng make up his mind, and after shouting, he got up, turned around and left.

"Xi~!" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ma Teng almost couldn't help but shout, but he held back stubbornly. Ma Zongheng was sad, and suddenly his footsteps stopped, and he looked back urgently. But what he saw was still Ma Teng's indifferent back.

"Eh..."Ma Zongheng sighed in a low voice, immediately wiped away his tears, and just walked to a rockery, suddenly shouted: "Don't get out yet!" ”

Ma Zongheng shouted, and the few people who were hiding on the rockery hurriedly walked out, it was Ma Yunlu, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie brothers.
