Ma Chao and Ma Dai received Ma Teng's summons, and after arranging the town guards, they hurried back to Wuwei overnight.

The next morning, in the Ma family's meeting room.

Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai sat around the desk.

"Father is saying that yesterday the King of Yuyang sent someone to recruit him?"

Ma Chao frowned. Although he has a good impression of King Yuyang, it is related to the future of the Ma family, so he has to be cautious.

"Does the Yuyang King have a promise?" Ma Dai asked.

Ma Teng shook his head and said, "Jia Xu only said that King Yuyang values my Ma family and wants to reuse it, but as for the specific promise, there is no." ”

"Isn't that a cake?" Ma Chaodao.

"Pie? Hehe," Ma Teng said: "It has always been a surrender, mostly for painting cakes. The king of Yuyang just didn't give a clear picture cake. ”

"What does Father mean?" Ma Chao nodded and asked.

Ma Teng shook his head slowly and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet." That is why I have called you back to take counsel with it. ”

"Uncle," Ma Dai said, "if the King of Yuyang is lowered, what will be the benefit?" If not, what harm is there? ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he continued: "If the Yuyang King is lowered, then it will lean on a big tree, which is a benefit." If you don't surrender, you will inevitably see each other. ”

Ma Teng also nodded in agreement: "With the surrender of the Yuyang King, with the talents of my son Meng Qi and Ah Dai, there will definitely be a day when they will be in a high position." If it is not surrendered, and now the king of Yuyang wants to attack the Western Regions, my Ma family will bear the brunt, and it is inevitable that the sword and soldiers will meet each other! And in terms of the historical record of the Yuyang King, the probability of my Ma family winning is almost zero, so it is not easy to do! ”

Ma Teng actually has the heart to surrender, but he has concerns.

If he really took refuge in Liu Yuan, would Liu Yuan still let his Ma family control Xiliang? If not, then the Ma family will leave Xiliang, just like a rootless Ping. In case Liu Yuan doesn't reuse the Ma family, then where should the Ma family go when the time comes?

Ma Teng's heart is wandering in this.

The whole world has always been the king's land, and the Ma family wants to occupy a state forever and is unwilling to give up, but in fact, there is an ambition to win the throne in the bottom of their hearts!

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report.

"Master, there's news from Jincheng."

"Oh?!" When Ma Teng heard this, he temporarily put aside the chaos in his heart, and said with a burst of energy: "What is the news?" ”

"Sir. Yesterday, Han Sui quietly met with a visitor from the Central Plains! "It has been verified that it is Xu You, the chief strategist under Yuan Shao." ”

"What?!"

Ma Teng's face changed, and he said, "Have you ever found out what happened?" ”

"No, I didn't."

"Let's go down!"

Ma Teng waved his hand and waved his subordinates away, his face gloomy and ugly.

"Father, I said earlier that Han Sui was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised, but you didn't believe it, and you still want to be a brother with him!"

Ma Chao said angrily: "This time, he contacted Yuan Shao behind his father's back, he must have ill intentions, why don't you let the child lead the troops to strangle Han Sui!" ”

With that, Ma Chao stood up and was about to go out.

"Stop!"

Ma Teng hurriedly drank Ma Chao. For Ma Chao, regardless of the martial arts and art of war, he is very satisfied, and it is this impulsive surname that makes him feel very headache.

"Sit down!"

Ma Chao sat down angrily, tilted his head and stopped talking.

"After all, it hasn't been confirmed, so how can you act rashly? Han Sui and I are righteous brothers, how can we risk the condemnation of the world and strangle him for a trumped-up reason? ”

"Isn't that obvious?"

Ma Chao said in a muffled voice.

"Big brother will calm his anger first." Ma Dai persuaded: "Although Han Sui contacted outsiders behind his uncle's back, he didn't know the reason after all. If you find out, it's not too late to make a decision, anyway, he Han Sui is still in Liangzhou, and he can't run away! ”

While a few people were talking, another person came to report.

"Master, Jia Xu asks to see."

"Again?" Ma Teng frowned and said, "Bring him in!" ”

After a while, Jia Xu walked in with a smile.

"Brother Shoucheng." Jia Xu didn't change his attitude at all because of yesterday's incident, as if it had never happened: "Yo, aren't these two nephews Meng Qi and Ma Dai?" ”

"Done." The so-called stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Ma Teng also had to show a reluctant smile, motioned for Jia Xu to sit down, and said, "It is my son Meng Qi and nephew Ma Dai." ”

"Sure enough, there are talents on one side, and there is a tiger and wolf style!"

Jia Xu praised.

"If there is anything, it will be crooked, and it will be annoying!" Ma Chao's eyes widened.

Jia Xu said secretly. This Ma Chao is really as the lord said, and his temper is not very good.

"Hehe, Brother Shoucheng," Jia Xu ignored Ma Chao, turned his face to Ma Teng and said, "I heard that your righteous brother Han Sui actually colluded with Yuan Shao to take away your position as the overlord of Xiliang!" ”

Ma Teng's face froze, he secretly suppressed his emotions, and said quietly: "Where do you start with this?" ”

"Oh, I said Brother Shoucheng, there is no need to hide it, right? Do you think that my intelligence system in Youzhou is a dry meal? Jia Xu blamed.

Ma Teng's heart suddenly changed. That's right, isn't this person in front of you the head of Youzhou's intelligence system? It was not surprising that he knew, so he said: "Han Wenyue contacted Yuan Shao, I already knew about it, Brother Wenhe, you are too worried." ”

"Hahahaha" Jia Xu laughed and said: "Brother Shoucheng, have you deceived yourself?" I heard that Yuan asked for the position of Han Sui Liangzhou Mu! Jia Xu didn't say that the book was changed to Yongliang Erzhou Prefecture, because after Ma Teng got the book, it was easy to arouse suspicion.

When the people of the Ma family heard this, they couldn't help but change their color.

Liangzhou pastoral! Isn't that where Ma Teng is now? Han Sui wants to be a Liangzhou herd, so where is the horse free?

The implication is obvious.

Han Sui wants to kill Ma Teng!

"Father!" Ma Chao was full of murderous anger and stood up again.

"Sit down!" Ma Tengli sighed, slowly calmed down, and said, "This matter is quite strange, my son will be patient for the time being." ”

"Strange?" Jia Xu was puzzled: "What's wrong? This news is absolutely true! ”

"Hey," Ma Teng sneered and said, "I, Ma Teng, am the overlord of Xiliang, so even if Yuan Shao contacts me, he should contact me!" ”

"Hahaha, Ma Shoucheng, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still have sand in your head!" Jia Xu couldn't stop laughing.

"Shut up!" How could Ma Chao allow others to insult his father, he immediately drew his sword and wanted to give Jia Xu a sword.

Ma Teng hurriedly stopped and asked with a dark face: "Jia Wenhe, you dare to bully me?" ”

"Neither nor not!" Jia Xu laughed and almost got angry, and said busily: "Brother Shoucheng, what do you think, who is Yuan Shao?" The national thief who coerced the Son of Heaven is also! is a national thief, which shows the great ambition of it! According to a certain point of view, Yuan Shao used a strategy of killing three birds with one stone this time! ”

"Oh? What is killing three birds with one stone? Ma Teng's face softened and asked.

"Yuan Shao is in Luoyang, which can be said to be coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. How could he be willing to only own Sili and Bohai? Yuan Shao used a plan this time, why didn't Han Sui choose you Ma Teng? It's just that you, Ma Teng, are deeply rooted in Xiliang and are difficult to control, only Han Sui's foundation is unstable, so he is the best candidate for him to woo, this is one of them; The two got rid of you Ma Teng, and Yuan Shao and Han Sui attacked on both sides, got rid of Yongzhou Li Dao Guo Yan, and occupied Yongzhou; Third, because Han Sui's foundation is unstable, it is easy to control and make it easier to obtain Liangzhou! ”

Jia Xu talked eloquently, and Ma Teng's face changed suddenly.

"Good Yuan Shao! Good Han Sui! Ma Chao stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed fiercely, and the aura of the tiger and wolf was undoubtedly revealed!

"Good calculation!"

Ma Teng's chest rose and fell rapidly, and it took a long time to slowly suppress it, stop Ma Chao, calm down, and said: "Although so, after all, it is your Jia Wenhe's words, I, Ma Teng, am above board, and I need to see the evidence with my own eyes before I can act!" Someone, send off! ”

Jia Xu walked out of the Ma Mansion with a straight smile on his face.

Although Ma Teng said that, he actually believed Jia Xu's words in his heart. After Jia Xu left, Ma Teng walked back and forth in the house for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Meng Qi my son, go to Jincheng with my father, I want to find out!" ”

Ma Chao agreed with a bang, immediately went out to gather soldiers and horses, and led 3,000 men and horses with Ma Teng and Ma Dai to go straight to Jincheng.

When it was dark, the Ma family's army arrived in Jincheng.

When the Jincheng guard saw that it was Ma Teng, he didn't dare to intercept it, so he let him into the city.

Ma Teng's father, son, uncle and nephew led people to gallop through the street, and soon arrived at Han Sui's mansion.

"I'm Ma Teng Ma Shoucheng, let Han Wen make an appointment to come out to see me!"

Ma Teng asked Ma Dai to lead people to surround Han Sui's mansion, and he took Ma Chao to stand outside the gate and shouted loudly.

The people of the Han family in the mansion were also frightened by the big movement outside the mansion, and it took a long time for someone to open the door of the mansion and walk out.

"Big Master!"

That person was Han Sui's butler: "I don't know what the eldest lord has, Sangen wants to see my lord in the middle of the night?" ”

"Just tell him to come out!"

Ma Teng waved his whip and said toughly.

"But but," said the housekeeper, "but my master is not in the house!" ”

"What?!"

Ma Teng shouted angrily: "What a Han Sui, knowing that I came to get him, he ran away in advance!" ”

This time, Han Sui's sin was confirmed. Ma Teng was angry and asked Ma Chao to lead people to search for evidence, and two moments later, Ma Chao walked out with the book.

"Father, look! Han Sui's old dog really betrayed his father in exchange for glory! ”

Ma Teng took it and took a closer look, and was even more angry: "Okay, good! I actually want to say that I want to move Ma, use Ma as a gunman, and go to the two states to get the state pastor myself, so calculated! Wow! Ma Teng tore the book to shreds and shouted: "Han Sui's dog thief is treacherous, and everyone will be punished!" Come on, kill all Han Sui's family members for me, and leave no one behind! ”

"Whoa!"

Ma Chao's eyes were full of blood, he personally raised the big gun, stabbed the old butler to death with one shot, and led a team of wolf-like sergeants to rush into the Han Mansion.

All of a sudden, screams, begging for mercy, and crying were endless!

And where is Han Sui at this time?

It turned out that in order to ensure more benefits in the alliance in the future, Han Sui took a few retinues alone to contact the Zhongqiang tribe living in the Great and Small Elm Valley in the south of Jincheng County. A little bit of a favor in order to get their support. He also planned to contact Zhong Qiang and then contact Bai Ma Qiang to enhance his strength.

But I didn't know that my family was now all killed under Ma Teng's gun!
