Once a person becomes famous, there seem to be more wives and concubines, because even if you don't accept it, people will force it to be given. No, Ma Hong received a message from Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang expressed his gratitude and asked his sister to be married to Ma Hong, Ma Hong would not refuse this kind of thing, and only said one word to the messenger, that is: If Yuan Shang is willing to let his sister be a concubine.

This Yuan Shang is naturally willing, very willing, if he is unwilling, maybe now Cao Cao's army has entered Yecheng, maybe he has also been defeated, internal worries and external troubles, Yuan Shang is about to be unable to support, I didn't expect Ma Hong, an ally, to give such a force, a move to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and force Cao Cao back from Hebei. With such an ally who has contributed to it, of course Yuan Shang wants to express it, what kind of expression can best show his determination, and he doesn't have to pay too much price, of course, it is to send a woman.

"There will be a group of wives and concubines so soon." Pang Tong smiled and took a sip of water.

"It's not a good thing." Ma Hong said.

"It's really not a good thing, now anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is the junior brother who controls Xiliang, and Liu Qi is just a puppet." Liu Ye sat aside with a bowl of water and said.

"It's a good thing at night, you can sleep with a different woman every night, think about sleeping with Ma Teng's daughter tonight, and Yuan Shao's daughter tomorrow night, isn't it very happy?" Pang Tong laughed.

Ma Hong smiled bitterly: "Then do we want to stay up until Cao Cao asks us for peace and gives me one of his daughters." ”

"Why do you say one?" Pang Tong asked.

"Cao Cao has many children, and it is more troublesome to count them one by one, so it is better to count them one by one." Ma Hong said with a smile.

This sentence amused Liu Ye as well, and the three of them laughed.

The three of them laughed, Liu Ye picked up a stone, placed it on the map where Cao Ying was located, and then said: "Now we are the stone hanging above Cao Cao's head, he has to be vigilant at all times, and stretch his hand over his head to prevent us from hitting him, so he will definitely use all means to trample us under his feet." So there are only two roads in front of us now, one is to smash Cao Cao, and the other is to be used as a stepping stone by Cao Cao. ”

That's a fitting analogy! Senior Brother Ziyang is right, our stone must be firmly blocked in this Huayin, and Cao Cao must not be allowed to step on us. Pang Tong touched his nose and said.

"Some time ago, Cao Cao's strange army was wiped out, I think these days, Cao Cao will definitely do something again, what do you think?" Ma Hong said.

"If you fail the first time, will there be a second time?" Liu Ye stretched out his finger and pointed to the ferry that Xu Huang led his army to cross last time.

"It's possible, didn't I hear that Guo Jia is the best at understanding people's psychology? I guess he might have suggested that Cao Cao attack again. Ma Hong said.

Pang Tong nodded and said, "It's not impossible, in short, the net laid by the three of us can't be missing." If Cao Cao goes out again, is it possible not to take the route last time and directly detour to the city of Chang'an. ”

Liu Ye said: "It's not impossible, Cao Cao has a lot of soldiers, if we fight a protracted war of attrition, it will not benefit him, all he wants is a quick decisive battle." If we can't break through our army from the front, then we can only let go from behind. ”

"There are many ways to do it from the rear, not long after the pacification of Xiliang, the control of Xiliang is insufficient, if Cao Cao does it to Xiliang, then it will be ......," Pang Tong said.

Ma Hong nodded and said: "That's true, Yang Fu and the others were originally loyal to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao now has a lot of officials from Xiliang, such as Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu.

"Now that Yang Fu has come to help, Jiang Xu and Zhao Ang are guarding Chang'an, how are these two people?" Liu Ye asked Pang Tong and Ma Hong.

"Zhao Ang is not really obedient, but joined under the coercion and temptation of Shu Chang, as for the Jiang family, there is no problem now!" Pang Tong said to Liu Ye.

"I also sent my fourth brother Ma Liang to assist Jiang Xu in Chang'an, it shouldn't be a big problem." Ma Hong said.

Liu Ye shook his head and said: "I always feel that if something goes wrong, it will definitely be in Chang'an, Ma Liang is still young, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, I think I should send another person to Chang'an to garrison." ”

Ma Hong was silent for a while, and then said, "Shiyuan, this can only let you go." ”

If one of the three is stationed in Chang'an, then naturally it must be Pang Tong, Liu Ye first entered Liangzhou, and the Xiliang Shi clan has not yet become acquainted, Ma Hong, as the boss, naturally cannot leave, then only Pang Tong is left.

Pang Tong returned to Chang'an and accepted all the defense work of Chang'an.

In the ninth year of Jian'an, in September, Wei Kang, the son of Mu Wei Duan of Xiliang Yuanzhou, intended to set off turmoil in Hanyang, but the incident was not released, the news was leaked, and he was detected by Xi Zhen, who led troops to pacify Wei Kang and kill Wei Kang's family.

Chang'an, the world's arch arch, the world gathered here like the stars towards the Beidou. There are more people, there are more things, and Ma Liang obviously feels that there are many more official duties in his hands than before, and the contact with people and the world is more frequent than before. Chang'an is the most prosperous city in the north, but Ma Liang has no thoughts, but is a little dull, even if he wants to steal half a day of leisure, but his senior brother and brother's friend arranged a difficult errand for him.

So Ma Liang went to see Zhao Ang.

When Ma Liang saw Zhao Ang, Zhao Ang's face was pale, and his complexion was obviously not good.

"General Zhao, you don't have a good face, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Ma Liang asked Zhao Ang with a smile.

Zhao Ang hadn't slept well for three consecutive nights, of course his complexion was bad, he had been waiting for Ma Hong to send someone to find him, and today someone finally came, Zhao Ang breathed a sigh of relief. Before Wei Kang planned the incident, he had contacted Zhao Ang, wanting to take advantage of Ma Hong's battle against Cao Cao to let Zhao Ang assist him in the incident, Wei Kang started an incident in Hanyang, and let Zhao Ang cause an incident in Chang'an, which is a dangerous thing. Zhao Ang and Wei Kang have been friends for many years, and he doesn't know how to respond to his friends' invitations, sometimes his friends will not only invite you to drink, but also invite you to kill, and even more, invite you to die together.

If Wei Kang fails, he will die, and if Zhao Ang agrees to Wei Kang, it will be equivalent to pressing the life of the whole family on Wei Kang and Cao Cao. The Yang family and the Jiang family are loyal to Ma Hong, but he Zhao Ang has always been on the periphery of power, Ma Hong does not trust him for two reasons, one is that the relationship between Zhao Ang and Wei Duan is not ordinary, and the other is that Ma Hong thinks that Zhao Ang has little ability.

"Ahh Ha, recently... Things compare... Many, at night... Having trouble falling asleep all the time. ”

Zhao Ang not only stuttered when he spoke, but also lacked confidence.

"Isn't it? Recently, there are troubles on the outside, worries on the inside, and some people in Xiliang are still trying to set off a storm, hey, there is more than a foot of official documents on the desk, how can you not be tired. ”

Ma Liang held his waist and yawned as he looked very tired.

Zhao Ang's heart was frightened when he heard this, his palms were full of sweat, and he didn't know if Ma Hong would take this opportunity to do him.

"Eh, General Zhao, I heard that my cousin Xi Zhen found a lot of letters in Wei Kang's house, I wonder if there are any letters from General Zhao? Liang heard that General Zhao and Na Weikang have been friends for many years! ”

Ma Liang's long eyelashes twitched under his white eyebrows, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Zhao Ang was silent, his palms were completely wet, and sweat began to appear on his forehead, he felt that water was rising under his armpits, and his legs began to tremble.

Ma Liang looked at Zhao Ang's appearance, stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Ang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my brother asked my cousin to burn all the letters I searched from Wei Kang, and my brother didn't read it, in the future..."

"In the future, Zhao Ang will be the head of General Ma, and he will be loyal."

Zhao Ang said this very neatly, his eyes were very firm, and he didn't stutter anymore.

"Oh! Ha ha! Ma Liang said with a smile: "Today, Senior Brother Pang caught a big fish in the river, saying that he wanted me to invite General Zhao to taste it, whether General Zhao can appreciate his face." ”

Zhao Ang hurriedly said: "Go, go, I'll change my clothes, please wait for a while." ”

Zhao Ang really should have changed his clothes, because the clothes on his body were soaked. When Zhao Ang took off his clothes, he breathed a sigh of relief. Madam, it's good to listen to you, or else...... (To be continued.) )
