Yan Xing's words are thousands, straight to the heart.

But Ma Teng was no longer caught off guard at the beginning, his haggard and vicissitudes of life bronzed face did not show any traces, but looked at Yan Xing and smiled bitterly:

"Why did the general say that?"

"Ma Chao let go of the enemy generals and secretly colluded with Hebei, can Shou Chenggong know?"

"I don't know."

"Hehe, Shou Chenggong has done a big thing, but he still has to hide it, then take a look at this document of the Ma family!"

Yan Xing got up and threw a document in front of his desk in front of Ma Teng, Ma Teng hesitated, but still reached out and picked it up, slowly stretching it out.

This is a document from the Ma family, the steward of their own mansion, Ma Yi.

What was denounced was Ma Teng's secret collusion with Yuan Shao in Hebei.

Under the huge pressure of the strict investigation of Hebei in the city, Ma Yi hesitated for a while, and then denounced Ma Teng without hesitation.

Ma Chao and Ma Teng's bitter trick before, concealed from everyone. Ma Chao, who is dormant and hibernating, as the focus of attention, wants something to echo and cut off Liangzhou, so some things he can't do must be done by another person who will not attract attention and is reasonable to do it for him.

Ma Teng, who is terminally ill but still wants to kill his relatives in righteousness, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Only when he appeared with the face of a heartbroken father, and then privately supplemented by gold and silver wealth, could he say that Yang Qiu would be a favor and transfer Ma Chao from the hard labor camp into his own camp, and only if he continued to stay in Chang'an City and was sick in bed, Ma Chao, who was in Hexi, could collude with Hebei and the east and west, and finally realize the ambition of separating the cool land.

Perhaps Ma Teng was anxious and shocked by Ma Chao's self-assertion at first, so he could only scold, "Son, you are going to harm the entire Ma family." But afterwards, Ma Teng silently helped Ma Chao round everything, and after Ma Chao was reduced to hard labor, he secretly hooked up with the secret in Hebei.

And Ma Chao, after the defeat, would rather sneer at Yan Xing and beg for a quick death, rather than be pried open and leak a trace of information about the Ma family.

"You father and son are really a pair of exquisite careerists!"

In the face of conclusive evidence, Yan Xing thought of the father and son who had fought against him and put him in danger, and he was angry and gritted his teeth and said.

Ma Teng didn't understand Yan Xing's words, his performance was a little lost and depressed, and when everything was close to the dust settled, the knots of fear, greed, hatred, etc., disappeared instead.

It was as if he was lamenting something someone else had done wrong.

"It seems that I shouldn't treat him as a brother and keep him by my side for more than ten years."

"You shouldn't blind him in one eye, no matter how you treat him for more than ten years, at least every time you see the bronze mirror, he will remember the original whip!"

Seeing Ma Teng's appearance, Yan Xing said with a sneer.

"It's Lone who underestimates you, Lone never expected that Ma Shoucheng, who is learning to grow vegetables and dying old, still retains the ambition and fighting spirit of Wang Han more than ten years ago."

"Lao Ji has a long ambition, which is also what Lao Yu learned from the general."

More than ten years of old things can no longer provoke Ma Teng's face to change, Yan Xing stared at that old face for a while, and suddenly said to the long-waiting armor soldier:

"Send the old general home."

"You're not going to kill me?"

"Before you came, Lone really wanted to kill you, but now, Lone has changed his mind, since you are terminally ill, then Lone will give you a decent death. If you don't die, then you can watch it with your own eyes on the couch and see how Lone crushes your plan step by step. ”

Yan Xing laughed, exuding a strong momentum all over his body.

···

Yan Xing didn't have a hand on Ma Teng after all, but on the second night after returning home, Ma Teng suddenly fell ill and passed away.

It's just that this insignificant news can no longer arouse the slightest fluctuation in Yan Xing's heart, and he has already announced to the generals in the army that he will personally lead the Guanxi army, swear to the east in the suburbs, send a letter to the south, aid Henan, and meet Cao Cao.

From Chang'an to Hongnong, the grain and grass along the way are constantly transported and gathered, and the civil servants of the Fu nationality in various counties are also being recruited one after another.

Outside the city of Chang'an, the elite soldiers and good generals of Guanxi gathered, the army was mighty, and the soldiers were gearing up, ready to go out of the customs to give the enemy army a head-on blow.

Inside the big tent.

The time for the oath in the suburbs was approaching, Yan Xing was about to leave, and the footsteps outside the tent were rushing, and Pei Shu still came from the city.

The two looked at each other and were speechless.

To a certain extent, what should be said before the expedition, the husband and wife have said it many times in front of and behind yesterday, but this time for some reason, Pei Shu was restless, although she knew that she should not have come out of the city at this time, calm, patience, and waiting are what she should do, but she finally broke free from the sense of order in her previous body and rushed to see her husband.

She noticed that Yan Xing wanted to speak and stopped talking yesterday, but in fact, some words were not finished.

"Why are you here?"

Yan Xing finally broke the silence and looked at Pei Shu and asked.

Pei Shu hesitated, but still said in a low voice:

"Concubine, concubine is still a little worried."

"There's nothing to worry about." Yan Xing laughed, hiding the bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

"Lone did what he should have done, and he did what he shouldn't have done. You don't need to worry about anything anymore. ”

When Pei Shu heard this, her heart was touched. Indeed, in the days leading up to the Eastern Crusade, Yan Xing had done many things, many things that he had not planned to do before.

Appointed Jia Kui as the protector of Fuyi, supervised the military of Anding, Beidi, and Shangjun, specially ordered Yan Xing to enter the city to garrison and guard Chang'an, and prepare for the recruitment of the second battalion of Xiliu and Bashang, and regained Pei Shu's hints after the eastern tour, and let the eldest son Yan Tong worship the remaining Changshi Yan as a teacher, and also asked Pei Hui and others to be marquis······

These things were obviously done for his eldest son, Yan Tong, and for the mother of the eldest son.

But Pei Shu has not been overjoyed these days, she looked at Yan Xing, and tears flashed in her eyes.

"The husband knows that the concubine doesn't want this, and our children don't want this."

"The concubine only wants the husband and wife to grow old together, wants our children to grow up in peace, and wants his father to return victorious."

"I know, I know."

When Yan Xing saw crystal tears slipping down Pei Shu's delicate face, he was a little emotional, and couldn't help but speak again, and stepped forward to hug Pei Shu.

Just like Hedong again, at this moment, each can hear the pure heartbeat of the other.

Although the armor on Yan Xing's body was cold and hard, Pei Shu did not refuse his embrace, and Yan Xing confided in his hidden heart yesterday in this familiar and rare warmth.

"When we first met again, we knew that this road would not be easy, but we still combined and walked together. Time is urging people to get old, and now so many years have passed, you and I have children, and we are slowly getting older. ”

"Promise me, if I can't walk this time, then you will close Cuihan and Hejin, and be assisted by Yan Gongyu, Jia Wenhe, Ziqi, your brother, Du Bohou, Jia Liangdao and others, and bring up our child well, teach him poetry, calligraphy and martial arts, and let him continue this road for me."

"Husband...

Pei Shu burst into tears, but Yan Xing could only gently rub her sideburns, and then let go of his embrace, he had already heard new footsteps coming from outside the tent, and it was time to leave.

"Let's go."

Yan Xing loudly told the armor outside the tent that he would not look back, lifted the curtain, and strode out of the tent.

···

Hanoi, shooting dogs gathered.

"Brother, I heard that the hussar general personally led the army out of Tongguan, ready to rush to the aid of Henan and meet the invading Cao army."

In the main general's tent of the barracks, Lu Yan retired from the other military officials, came to sit down in front of the Hu bed next to his brother, looked at Lu Yi who was looking at the map unfolded on the ground, and said softly.

"I see."

Lu Yi's tone was as flat as water, as if he was saying something inconspicuous.

This made Lu Yan a little unable to answer, so he could only accompany Lu Yi to look at the map.

Yuan Shao personally led the army to recover and merge the state this time, which was inevitable, and after getting the painful lesson of the last defeat, the Hebei soldiers also learned from the pain, and no longer despised the Yan soldiers and horses that crisscrossed the Guanxi, Yuan Shao himself adopted the suggestions of Tian Feng, Feng Ji and others, and no longer stuck to military battles, but widely used military, political, cutting and fighting, and other means to deal with the Yan army.

Among them, it includes secretly sending an envoy to recruit the former rebel general Lu Yi.

In order to plot against Lu Yi, Yuan Shao made a big promise, not only not to blame the previous grievances, but also to double the reward for the children of the Lu family, and even promised to let Lu Yi serve as the Taishou of Hanoi after the incident, and even the seal and ribbon documents were brought over by the messenger.

Lu Yi's reaction is also very intriguing, he broke with Yuan Shao, he did not easily believe the promises of the old master, but he also did not kill the envoy, and sent the head to Chang'an to show his loyalty, he just let Lu Yan act in secret, and secretly expelled Ye Cheng to make him leave.

This also made the dear koji think about whether his own brother had other plans.

"Brother, look at this battle, our koji-"

"It's hard!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yi interrupted him with a sigh.

Lu Yan touched his nose, and Ne followed and said:

"Yes, it is indeed a little difficult to break away from Chang'an."

After the pacification of Longxi and Jincheng, many people of the Koji family were also relocated to Chang'an City, and their relationship with the hussar general Yan Xing was closely related, and if they wanted to rebel, they had to pay a heavy price.

"Stupid, I mean this battle is hard to fight!"

Lu Yi threw down the branch, glared at Lu Yan and said.

"I abandoned Ji County, Gongxian County, Xiuwu, and Huojia many cities before and after, abandoned the high walls and fortifications but did not defend them, so that the enemy general Yan Liang was invincible all the way and conquered everything, just to regain the enemy's morale and lure Yan Liang to chase after him, but at present, the troops are insufficient, and this battle is still difficult to fight!"
