Chapter 1833 - Conditions for Surrender
Ma Chao broke through the military camps of Han Sui and Liang Xing and took over their army.
A few days later, the news reached the ears of Cao Shuo, who was still stationed in Tongguan.
Ma Tie had already returned two days earlier.
got the news, Cao Shuo asked people to invite Ma Teng and his son.
Coming to Cao Shuo, the father and son saluted, and Ma Teng asked, "Dare to ask the son, what are your orders?" ”
"I just wanted to ask Meng Qi if he had previously said his plans for the future?" Cao Shuo asked, "Is he planning to take refuge or is he going to continue to be an enemy of the Cao family?" ”
"The eldest brother didn't say." Ma Tie replied: "But I think he should already have a plan to work." ”
"Where can you tell?" Cao Shuo asked.
"It's just a feeling." Ma Tie replied: "I told him that if you refuse to serve your son, there will be no brothers on the battlefield in the future." ”
Cao Shuo nodded and said to Ma Tie: "It's enough to have your words. ”
"Childe is kind to our father and son, and for the sake of Childe, it is also appropriate to turn against Meng Qi." Ma Teng sighed: "I really don't understand why Meng Qi wants to go against the Cao family. ”
"Did Meng Qi say why he was the enemy of our Cao family?" Cao Shuo asked Ma Tie again.
Ma Tie thought for a moment: "It seems that Liu Xuande is mentioned." ”
"I already know that Liu Xuande sent Zhang Song to Xiliang." Cao Shuo said: "Zhang Song was also killed by Meng Qi, and it stands to reason that he should not continue to be an enemy of the Cao family." ”
"It seems that Liu Xuande wrote him a letter later." Ma Tie said: "The eldest brother also saw that letter, so he decided to continue to fight against the Cao family. ”
"Did he mention what the letter said?" Cao Shuo asked.
Ma Tie shook his head: "At that time, I only cared about arguing with my eldest brother, and I didn't ask." ”
Liu Bei wrote a letter to Ma Chao, which allowed him to continue to oppose the Cao family, which shows that this person's ability to rebel is extremely strong.
"As long as Liu Bei is still free, the world will not be peaceful." Cao Shuo said: "The three of you, please go back first, before Meng Qi didn't work, my father couldn't trust you." Even if I wanted to reuse, there was no way he would say yes. ”
"We understand Childe's distress." Ma Teng replied: "When I see Meng Qi, I will persuade again." ”
"I hope he'll listen." didn't have much hope for Ma Chao's surrender, Cao Shuo smiled indifferently.
Ma Teng and his son retired.
Out of the room, Ma Tie said with annoyance: "I don't know if the eldest brother was poured some kind of soup by Liu Xuande, but he was actually an enemy of the Cao family." ”
"Have you convinced Meng Qi?" Ma Teng's main concern is that Ma Chao is willing to surrender.
"I don't know." Ma Tie said: "I said it very seriously, if he still cares about his father and son, he should serve his son." ”
"Father, why don't I go again?" Matthew said on the side: "The second brother has been there, and I will go to see the eldest brother again, he should know the current situation better." ”
"If you want to go to see Meng Qi, you must first agree to the son." Ma Teng said: "Now the son is not in a very good mood, don't make him unhappy again." ”
Matthew rejected his offer, but Matthew didn't insist.
Cao Shuo was still speculating whether Ma Chao would be effective, and within a few days, Ma Chao sent Ma Dai to Tongguan.
Upon learning that Ma Dai had arrived, Cao Shuo instructed Deng Zhan: "General Deng brought him to my room." ”
Deng Zhan left, and he instructed Zhu Ao to invite Ma Teng and his son.
Ma Teng and his son arrived one step earlier.
Entering the house to greet the salute, Ma Teng asked, "Is there any news from Meng Qi that the son is looking for us?" ”
"Ma Dai is here." Cao Shuo said: "I have asked General Deng to go to meet him. ”
"The eldest brother has always valued him, and if he can come, he must have promised to serve his son." Ma Tie breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cao Shuo: "If the eldest brother doesn't plan to serve, Gongzi can detain Ma Dai, and there will be one less available talent around him." ”
"I've heard of Ma Dai's name, I don't know what this person is capable of?" Cao Shuo asked Ma Teng and his son.
"If you want to talk about martial arts, it's just average." Ma Teng replied: "But although Ma Dai is young, he is very good at leading troops. Meng Qi's heavy use of him is not completely unreasonable. ”
"If Meng Qi is willing to serve, there will really be a lot of ruthless people under my command." Cao Shuo smiled indifferently: "It's just that I haven't seen Ma Dai, and I don't know what he means." ”
was talking to the Ma family's father and son, Deng Zhan reported outside the door: "Qi Yu Gongzi, General Ma Dai asks to see you." ”
"Ask him to come in." Motioning for Ma Teng and his son to sit on the side, Cao Shuo gave an order to the door.
Deng Zhan pushed open the door and led Ma Dai into the house.
Ma Dai was only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing armor and looking heroic.
When he came to the house, he was about to salute Cao Shuo, when he saw Ma Teng and his son stunned for a moment.
He had the heart to greet Ma Teng first, but he also knew that he couldn't lose his manners, so he bowed to Cao Shuo: "Xiliang Ma Dai has seen Gongzi." ”
Cao Shuo nodded and asked Ma Dai, "The three people sitting here, the general should know each other." ”
"Uncle and two brothers, how can I not know each other." After answering Cao Shuo, Ma Dai bowed to Ma Teng's father and son again: "I've seen my uncle, I've seen two brothers." ”
Ma Tie and Ma Xiu arched their hands at him, and Ma Teng asked, "You came this time, did Meng Qi have something to say to Gongzi?" ”
"Exactly." Ma Dai replied, "The eldest brother plans to surrender to the son, but there are some conditions. ”
"Conditions?" Ma Teng frowned: "What other conditions did he mention?" ”
"The eldest brother wants to ask the prince to allow the Ma family to continue to sit in Xiliang." Ma Dai said: "Where the son will be useful in the future, the Xiliang Ma family will never say half a word!" ”
Ma Dai put forward the condition, but Cao Shuo just smiled slightly and did not respond.
Ma Teng wrinkled his brows and said, "Since Toucheng has not handed over the soldiers and horses, what is the reason for still occupying Xiliang?" ”
"Uncle, this ......" was not asked by Cao Shuo, and Ma Dai really didn't know how to respond.
"Childe." Ma Teng stood up and said to Cao Shuo: "It is really unacceptable for Meng Qi to make such a request. If he doesn't surrender, just send troops to fight him. I am willing to be the pioneer of Gongzi and lead the army to defeat Xiliang. ”
Ma Teng asked Cao Shuo for his life, and Ma Dai was even more embarrassed.
He said to Cao Shuo: "Childe...... Eldest brother just asked me to bring a message......"
"I know the general is in a dilemma." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "General Ma has said this, and I can't help but obey his wishes. Why don't the generals bring a message to Meng Qi, how many Xiliang troops he will bring to serve, and I will give him the opportunity to bring how many soldiers and horses to fight in the future, how about it? ”
"What Childe said is a good way, I'm afraid that the eldest brother will ......" Ma Dai sighed and said, "Why don't I go back and ask the eldest brother first......"
"Childe!" Before Ma Dai finished speaking, Ma Xiu stood up: "I want to ask for an order to see the eldest brother, if he still has many conditions, I will definitely turn against him on the spot." ”
