Chapter 1826: Send the messenger to Chang'an

Deng Zhan took the messenger away, and Cao Shuo asked Ma Teng, "General Ma has heard it?" ”

"I hear you." Ma Teng's father and son came to him and bowed: "Fortunately, Gongzi let us observe, otherwise Meng Qi would not know that he was killed by thieves." ”

"Han Sui, Liang Xing and others intend to serve the Cao family, am I not sorry for them to do this?" Looking at Ma Teng, Cao Shuo grinned: "If General Ma informs Meng Qi of this, I don't know what benefits I can get from it." ”

The father and son were stunned for a moment and glanced at each other.

Then Ma Teng said: "We are willing to persuade Meng Qi to serve the son." ”

"If Meng Qi is willing to vote for me, of course it will be better." Cao Shuo said: "But he had surrendered to the Cao family before, and now there is a rebellion, how can I believe him in the future?" ”

"I would like to vouch for Meng Qi." Ma Teng said: "He must have a last resort to raise troops this time, and I will ask for clarification for my son." ”

"General Ma can't go." Cao Shuo said: "If you go, Meng Qi will detain you, and I won't have a chance to rescue you." Don't go to the time when the two armies are fighting, and there will be a lot of chaos. ”

Cao Shuo refused to let Ma Teng go, obviously because he couldn't believe him.

Ma Teng didn't dare to argue, so he had to say: "Then let my son Ma Tie or Ma Xiu go." ”

Looking at Ma Tie, Cao Shuo asked, "How sure is the little general that he can persuade Meng Qi?" ”

Ma Tie replied: "If my father goes, it should be ten percent." If I go back, it's only seven or eight percent at most. ”

"Seven or eight percent is enough." Cao Shuo said: "If Meng Qi refuses to serve the Cao family, you have to come back as soon as possible, once the army enters Xiliang, I don't care whether you are an enemy or a friend." ”

"I understand what Childe has explained." Ma Tie responded.

"It's still early, I'll drag the messenger first, and don't delay the little general." Cao Shuo ordered: "Set off immediately, don't let Han Sui and Liang Xing take the lead." ”

"I'll go!" Ma Tie responded.

The father and son left the tent, and Ma Teng said to Ma Tie: "After you go back, you have to ask Meng Qi for me what he wants to do." Knowing that we are still enemies of the Cao family here, are you trying to put us to death? ”

"I've written down everything my father has told me." Ma Tie said: "I'm not around, and I ask my father to cherish it." ”

"Go ahead, there's Matthew here." Ma Teng waved his hand.

Ma Tie bowed and saluted, stepped on the war horse led by the soldiers, and rushed out of the barracks.

That night, Cao Shuo called Liang Xing's envoy to Shuai's tent.

He was only received by Cao Shuo during the day, and he came to see him again at night, and the envoy felt that this visit to Cao's house was likely to facilitate the matter.

"Why does General Liang suddenly want to be friends with the Cao family?" The messenger came to him, and Cao Shuo asked him.

"General Liang and General Han had refused to be enemies of the Cao family earlier...... the envoy replied.

"Don't tell me it's useless." Cao Shuo interrupted him: "Tell the truth. ”

Forced to ask by Cao Shuo, the envoy had to reply: "Don't dare to deceive Gongzi, the army attacked Tongguan before, and General Han and General Liang have already received the news." They felt that it was unwise to be an enemy of Gongzi, so they wanted to join the Cao family and have a chance to survive. ”

"They wanted to live, so they secretly sold Ma Mengqi." Cao Shuo shook his head with a smile and said to the envoy: "You go back first and tell General Liang that our army is raising grain and grass, and it will enter Xiliang in a few days." He and General Han were asked to prepare early and meet the army at that time. ”

Cao Shuo was relieved, and the messenger did not leave, but lowered his head and said to him: "General Liang means ......"

"What does General Liang mean?" The envoy stopped talking, and Cao Shuo asked.

"He wants me to go and see Cao Gong again." The messenger lowered his head and said timidly.

"General Han and General Liang are willing to serve the Cao family, I only care about being happy, and I actually forgot such an important thing." Cao Shuo slapped his forehead and said to the envoy: "I will send someone to send you to Chang'an early tomorrow morning to see your father, you have a good talk with him to see what your father means." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Asked to see Cao Cao, the envoy was still full of apprehension, but he didn't expect Cao Shuo to agree, he hurriedly bowed down and made a big salute.

"It's not early, you can go back and rest first." Cao Shuo said: "Someone will call you early tomorrow morning." ”

The messenger retreated.

Cao Shuo shouted outside the door: "General Deng, come in." ”

Deng Zhan entered the room.

"Invite Pang Tong, Tian Feng, Xu Shu, Sima Yi and others." Cao Shuo instructed: "Just say that I have something important to discuss with them." ”

After receiving the military order, Deng Zhan turned around and left.

It didn't take long for Pang Tong and others to arrive.

After meeting Cao Shuo, Pang Tong asked, "Gongzi called us here, is it for Ma Chao's business?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Shuo said: "Just now Liang Xing's envoy asked to see my father, and I have promised to send him over early tomorrow morning. ”

"Have you ever thought about how much trouble he will cause when he meets Cao Gong?" Sima Yi said: "Han Sui and Liang Xing are willing to serve the Cao family, and Cao Gong must be very happy, but Gongzi let Ma Tie go, Ma Chao knew that the two of them were trying to plot against him, so how could he give up?" In this way, Gongzi will definitely be blamed by Cao Gong in the future. ”

"Let him go to see his father, I also consider that I have to leave more time for Ma Tie." Cao Shuo said: "The distance from here to Xiliang is not too close. If his feet were faster than Ma Tie's, Xiliang's situation would be complicated. ”

"That's what Childe said." Xu Shu said: "When the prince made a decision during the day, I never expressed my position. I want to ask Childe, if Ma Tie fails to persuade Ma Chao, should we fight Xiliang? ”

"Of course you have to fight." Cao Shuo didn't think about it and said: "Pacify Xiliang, and then we just need to march into Hanzhong." Then he advanced from Hanzhong to Yizhou, and finally captured Jiaozhou, and the world was pacified. ”

"It's not that hard to say." Xu Shu sighed: "I just don't know how many years it will take to fight." ”

"After so many years of fighting, do you also feel burned out?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked a few people.

Several top strategists glanced at each other, and Tian Feng said: "In the troubled times, everyone is in danger, although we are quite stable by the side of Gongzi, but we can fight back and forth, and it is not as safe as the unification of the world." Who can not get tired after playing for too long? ”

"Actually, I'm burned out too." Cao Shuo said: "I also hope that there will be no more wars in the world, but others refuse to rest, is it possible that we should rest first?" As long as there is still a strong man, we will not be able to stop for a moment. ”

Everyone nodded.

Tian Feng asked, "Who does Gongzi plan to send to send an envoy to Chang'an?" ”

"I'm going to let General Zhu send him there." Cao Shuo replied: "Let the people around me send him, even if my father knows what happened to Xiliang, he won't think of me immediately." ”

"Childe thinks too much." Pang Tong shook his head: "Once something happens in Xiliang, the first thing that Cao Gong suspects is Gongzi. ”
