When night fell, the starry sky was shining, and Chang'an City under the curfew was quiet and silent.

Madai Barracks.

Since the news of Ma Teng's death came, the entire military camp has been on guard, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and all the soldiers have entered a state of combat readiness under Ma Dai's order.

But at this moment, in the tent of the Chinese army, the lights are bright, and all the generals gather.

Ma Chao's burly body sat in front, his expression looked very gloomy, a pair of eyes like a tiger were cold, and his whole body was riotous, and his breath was fierce.

At this moment, he was like a beast suppressing his anger, so that the people around him did not dare to approach within three meters, and the generals in the camp were even suppressing their breath.

"Big brother!"

After a long time, Ma Dai, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him, and said in a firm voice: "Now that my father is dead, I only listen to your orders, you come to get an idea, as long as you have an order, Dai is willing to immediately lead his troops to the north and take Wei Duan's head." ”

Ma Teng's death was a big blow to both of their brothers.

Although Ma Dai and Ma Teng are just uncles and nephews, he has been loved and cared for by Ma Teng as his own son since he was a child, and he also shouted that Ma Teng's father grew up.

"Wei Duan !!!"

When Ma Chao heard this, these two words burst out from between his teeth, and his voice was very long, full of hatred that came out of hesitation.

In the tent, there was a sudden chill in the atmosphere, and all the generals could feel the cold killing intent.

Although Ma Chao has always been dissatisfied with Ma Teng, and he chose to hide from Ma Teng and quietly returned to Chang'an, he still has no anti-Ma Teng heart in his heart.

What he wants so far is just the position of the East Palace.

He never wanted to replace Ma Teng. Become the king of the Ryokuni Kingdom.

So Ma Teng's death made him suddenly lose a calm heart, and the whole person became manic, he wanted revenge, if he killed Wei Duan.

"Prince, at this moment. Don't be impulsive! ”

Meng Jian suddenly stood up and persuaded.

"Gongwei, now that a certain family has died, your father is dead, do you still let a certain calm down?"

Ma Chao's eyes were cold, and his pupils exuded a cold light.

"Junhou, the situation is like this, Liang Guo is the most important!"

Meng Jian raised his head, his eyes met Ma Chao's wolf-like eyes, and a chill rose from his back in his heart. However, his face did not change, and he said bluntly: "The most important thing for the prince and prince now is not revenge, but to stabilize the court of Liangguo!" ”

"Bastard, my father died tragically, what could be compared to such a great hatred!"

When Ma Dai heard this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy, he snorted and pulled out his long sword, and the sharp tip of the sword went straight to Meng Jian's heart. He said coldly: "If you shake your brother's determination to avenge your father's revenge again, you will be killed!" ”

"Dai. Stop it! ”

Ma Chao clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and shouted.

"Big brother!" Ma Dai turned his head and exclaimed in confusion.

"You put away the sword, Mr. Meng is for our good, don't be rude!"

"Yes!"

Although Ma Dai was a little unwilling. But he was absolutely obedient to his brother, so he had to put away his sword.

"Gongwei, I'm sorry, my brother's temper is a little impatient, he is unintentional!" Ma Chao glanced at Meng Gongwei. In a deep voice, there are very few strategists in Liangguo, so he attaches great importance to Meng Gongwei.

"No problem!"

Meng Jian shook his head, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, Ma Dai would go berserk, he was not surprised at all, the revenge of killing his father, there are a few people who can hold their breath.

You must know that Sun Zhongmou at the beginning, known as a good temper of a civil servant, but in order to avenge his father, he also rioted, and even did not hesitate to give up the best opportunity to ascend the throne and go to Jingzhou in person, and in the end, even the position of King Wu almost passed by mistake.

But Ma Chao's violent temper was able to stabilize at this time, and he was a little surprised.

"What's the news from the East Palace?"

Ma Chao is just suppressing his emotions now and forcibly calming himself down.

Ma Teng is dead, but Liangguo is the brainchild of their father and son, and they can't mess with it.

"Big brother, this bastard Matthew is actually going to succeed to the throne!"

Ma Dai called out at this time, and said coldly in a cold voice: "Now that his father's bones are gone, he doesn't even have the slightest intention of marrying his father's corpse, so he hurriedly wants to ascend the throne!" ”

"General Ma, this is not unexpected!" Meng Jian glanced at him and said lightly: "Ma Xiu must know that he doesn't have many opportunities, if the prince suddenly appears in Chang'an City, he is afraid that he will not have a chance to inherit the throne of King Liang, so, at this moment, of course, he has to be in a hurry, only when he ascends the throne, he is justified, otherwise, even if he is the prince, he will only be abolished if he is abolished, and besides, there is a Sima Yi next to him, can he not be in a hurry?" ”

"Humph!"

Ma Dai snorted coldly and said: "Liangguo is the country defeated by the eldest brother in the southern and northern wars, and now that his father is dead, it should be his brother's turn to succeed him, when will it be his turn!" ”

"Sima Yi can't help but clean up!" Ma Chao said coldly.

"Sima Yi wants to clean up, but the prince, the most important thing now is that we must stabilize Chang'an City before the Wei army's army comes to the city, otherwise we will be defeated under internal and external troubles!" Meng Jiandao.

"Gongwei, where did Cao Cao's soldiers and horses go?" Ma Chao asked.

He now understands why Cao Cao suddenly sent troops to Chang'an, and came in such a timely manner, it turned out that he had planned to swallow the entire Liang Kingdom.

Ma Teng's death, the detailed process, Ma Chao does not know now, but he knows very well that this must have something to do with the Wei State.

"Back to the prince, Hongnong has passed, and at most three days, the soldiers are coming to Chang'an!" Meng Jiandao.

"We must take three days to pacify Chang'an!"

Ma Chao's eyes were bright and bright, a touch of fighting spirit burst out, and he punched the table, cutting it out categorically.

"Prince, do you need to bring in troops from outside the city?" General Li Kan asked suddenly.

Five thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry is led by Hou Xuan, and they are waiting in a secret place outside the city, which is the most elite force under Ma Chao's command, with their foot strength, at most half an hour. You can enter the city.

"No, the herald is a candidate, and tell him that whatever happens in the city, he must hold it down, and he must hide it. Gongwei is right, Sima Yi, it's just a small trouble, the Wei army is a big enemy, when Cao Cao's troops are coming to the city, when we deal with Cao Cao, we still need him to play the effect of surprise attacks! ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said proudly: "As for Chang'an City, it is in the Liangguo Imperial Hall. Except for his father, no one can compare with Ben Hou, as long as Ben Hou appears, he is the biggest threat, Ma Xiu, he is not worthy of competing with Ben Hou! ”

He has the confidence that he can suppress Sima Yi and Ma Xiu.

After all, Liangguo is on this side. Half of it was fought by him and Pound, except for Ma Teng. There was simply no one who could hold him down.

"However, Sima Yi has already dispatched the soldiers of the Guanzhong family into the city!" Li Kan said with some concern: "In case the city is not low, how can it be good?" ”

"It's okay!"

Ma Dai spoke up at this time, he waved his hand, and said confidently: "A certain soldier and horse, plus the influence of the eldest brother in the army." Not many people dare to do anything to the big brothers, enough to deal with them! ”

"General, there is a person outside the camp who asks to see you!"

Suddenly, outside the camp, the voice of a night watchman rang out.

"Who?" Ma Dai heard this. Asked in a cold voice.

"The person who came claimed to be surnamed Li, and he said that he wanted to see General Ma Chaoda!"

"General?"

The generals looked at Ma Chao at once.

Ma Chao is the first marquis of Liangguo, the general of Liangguo, and the first person in the military of Liangguo.

"Big brother, who knows that you are in a certain military camp, could it be that your whereabouts have been exposed?" Ma Dai's face changed slightly.

Ma Chao's return to Chang'an is a secret, since he entered his military camp, he has never shown up, even if he is under him, it is only known to the most central few leading generals.

"Surname Li?"

Meng Gongwei suddenly looked at Ma Chao and arched his hand: "Junhou, this person has already guessed, although he is not a friend, he may not be an enemy!" ”

"Who does Gongwei know?"

"Jin Yiwei, Li Nie!"

Meng Jian said lightly: "At this time, I came to the door to see the prince, and in such a mysterious and mysterious way, surnamed Li, the world is no more than this Li Dadudu!" ”

"Wu Guo?"

Ma Chao's eyes widened, and he asked puzzledly, "Why did they come to the door?" ”

"Junhou, a certain guess, they don't want Wei to be Guanzhong, naturally in the current situation, he naturally wants to help us!" Meng Jian analyzed: "We can hold Guanzhong, which is also an interest for Wu State!" ”

"Help us?"

Ma Chao said coldly: "Don't say that there are still some grudges between Liangguo and Wu, at the beginning of Jingzhou, Lu Bu flooded my tens of thousands of cavalry in one breath, and destroyed thousands of soldiers of my Xiliang Iron Cavalry, this is a big enemy, just say that now, the Wu army has been in Taiyuan in Liangzhou, will they help us?" ”

"Prince, different situation, different friendship!" Meng Jian persuaded: "This is Guanzhong, this is Chang'an, Wu is beyond the reach of the whip, and at this moment, our biggest enemy is Wei State, the Wei army is about to come to the city, even if Wu State is uneasy and kind, we also need to use them, it doesn't hurt to see them!" ”

"You're right!"

Ma Chao thought about it, nodded, looked at Ma Dai, and said, "Then I'll see you, Dai, you go in person and invite him in!" ”

"No!"

Ma Dai nodded, then walked out, and in less than a quarter of an hour, led a middle-aged Confucian in a green coat and a hat into the tent.

"Wu Guo Li Nie, meet the general!"

Li Nie took off his hat and saluted in a pure Western cool tone.

"Ligne? Should Ben Hou call you Li Nie, or ...... Li Ru! Ma Chao's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, and he looked at the man in front of him carefully: "Or, Ben Hou should call you, Li Zhonglang!" ”

Wu Guo Li Nie is the first strategist Li Ru under Dong Zhuo in the past, and it is no secret in the eyes of the world.

Li Ru is notorious in the world, but in Liangzhou, he is famous.

"Hehe, it's just one name, whether it's Li Ru or Li Ne, as long as the general is willing, call it casually!" Li Nie's smile was like a spring breeze, but the generals in the military tent suddenly felt a chill: "As for Li Zhonglang, he is dead!" ”

Li Ru is very famous in Xiliang, he assisted Dong Zhuo, and turned Xiliang into a Dong Zhuo's back garden, with great prestige, and two-thirds of the generals who are doing have grown up listening to his prestige.

Li Zhonglang himself is a prestige that shocks Xiliang and Sanfu.

"Chao once heard of Li Zhonglang's prestige in the past, and admired it very much, and now I can see Li Zhonglang in the past with my own eyes, which is a super honor!" In front of Li Ne, Ma Chao also put down his posture, he stood up and bowed.

After he bowed, he asked, "I don't know what Li Zhonglang meant by coming today?" ”

"Li Ne wants to replace Wu Guo and make a deal with the general!" Li Nie said calmly.

"What deal?" Ma Chao continued to ask.

"A certain assists the general to hold Chang'an, and the general gives us the state of Wu, how about this deal?" Li Nie said with a smile.

"Li Zhonglang, do you think this is possible?" When Ma Chao heard this, his face turned cold.

"Why can't it!" Li Nie said: "What is the situation in Bingzhou, the general will not be unclear, at this time, can you still keep Bingzhou?" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, his forehead was bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly.

And the state, by the Wei and Wu countries in the north and south, it is a matter of time before he can't hold it, and he has already ordered that once Ma Yu can't hold it, he will retreat to Xiliang.

But it was clear in my heart for a while, and it was another thing to be said so frankly by Li Nie.

"Li Zhonglang, you are talking about it! Wu Guoyuan is in Jiangdong, what can he do to help the prince? ”

Meng Jian suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

"Isn't so-and-so here?" Li Neshi Shi Ran's way.

"You're alone?"

Ma Dai's eyes widened, and he was murderous: "Li Nie, are you fooling us?" ”

"A certain person can be Chang'an, and he can also reverse the situation!"

Li Nie's face was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, but his voice had an unbeatable confidence and arrogance. (To be continued......)
