Although Ma Dai was not angry with what Jing Xiang had done before, he also knew that the current relationship with Jing Xiang was not easy to make enemies, but Ma Dai did not expect that his brother, who had always acted recklessly, would be kind to the arrival of this Jing Xiang envoy.

Could it be that even the fierce Xiliang Jinma Chao is afraid of the current power of Jingxiang?

Seeing that Ma Dai no longer said much, Ma Chao felt a little at ease in his heart, and secretly smiled bitterly, although Ma Chao was not afraid of the power of Jingxiang in his heart, but he also knew that this series of horizontal events was particularly important to Xiliang, and he could not attack Tongguan before, Zhuge Liang led a large army to occupy important places in Hanzhong, Xiliang is not as good as Cao Cao in the Central Plains, if the two fronts are fighting, it is difficult to deal with it, and Zhuge Liang's immobility also makes Ma Chao have a slight impression of Jingxiang in his heart, which at least makes him tired from Chang'an to Tianshui, leaving a little respite.

Although disgusted with Pang Tong's appearance, Ma Chao also knew that when Jing Xiang Ping Xichuan was in the past, this person had a great role in strategy, and he had fought together with Xu Shu for a long time.

Pang Tong looked at Ma Chao's deep face, and knew what he thought, this brave man has never been able to hide any thoughts, and Ma Chao's vigilance against Jing Xiang is engraved on his face.

Entering the Taishou Mansion, the guests and hosts sat down, Ma Chao set up a banquet to entertain Jing Xiang and his party, the Qiang people's diet was not as exquisite as the Han people, but Pang Tong ate rough and arrogant during the banquet, but it made Ma Chao and Ma Dai both surprised in their hearts.

"Can Master Pang get used to my western cold diet?" Ma Chao said, Pang Tong smiled when he heard this: "Xiliang diet, the flavor is unique, try it occasionally, it's not bad, but this Xiliang diet is not more exquisite than the Central Plains, if General Meng Qi is leisure, you can go to my Jingxiang to take a look, then Pang will definitely make the general happy." ”

Ma Chao sighed slightly when he heard this, and said: "Ma also admires the style of the Central Plains, but this time he attacked Tongguan and returned in vain. ”

"It's easy to hear." Pang Tong said, Ma Chao was overjoyed, but he heard Pang Tong's words and said: "Originally, Yuan Zhi and Bo Zhan went to my Jingxiang, and the discussion was about attacking Cao, how can you Xiliang not be patient, if Xiliang moves troops in autumn, most of Cao Cao's troops will be restrained by my Jingxiang, just Luoyang, how can you not?" ”

After Pang Tong said, Ma Dai couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and said to Pang Tong: "When we meet, although it is autumn, but in the middle of summer, I Xiliang and Jiangdong are all attacking Cao, but you Jingxiang is not moving, you must be in collusion with Cao Cao!" ”

"If you want to add sin, why should you do it?" When Pang Tong heard this, he was not annoyed, and said to Ma Dai: "You Xiliang used troops and did not consult with me Jingxiang, what reason do I Jingxiang have to cooperate from it?" And only one Tong Pass, I will tell you that the Xiliang army is not allowed to enter an inch, even if I Jingxiang uses troops, General Bozhan can guarantee that he can break through several Xiongguan in a row and force Luoyang? ”

When Ma Dai heard this, he pointed at Pang Tong, and was speechless for a long time, Ma Chao smiled when he heard this: "Don't be angry, for my brother, I also think that Shiyuan Junshi is right, this battle I Xiliang Iron Cavalry, under Tongguan, there is no place to fight, and it is indeed not enough to fight." ”

Ma Chao said, changed his words, and said with a proud smile: "It's just Shiyuan military division, this time to my Xiliang, for the alliance, the military division has repeatedly ridiculed my Xiliang military situation, don't you look down on my Xiliang, tens of thousands of iron horsemen can't succeed?" ”

"My brother and the lord of Jiangdong are in-laws, even so, when my brother chooses allies, he chooses Xiliang, Jing Xiang is sincere, why do you need to say more?" When Pang Tong heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "Although Pang knows about the alliance, it is not General Meng Qi's arbitrary decision, but in his heart, Xiliang is newly defeated, doesn't he need an ally to help him in times of crisis?" ”

"What's in danger of my Xiliang?" Ma Chao said, Pang Tong laughed and said: "The general knows it, why let Pang come together?" Originally, the lord of Xiliang was General Shoucheng, but now Han Sui and Liu Bei are all tails, and the people under Xiliang are more agreeable than Han Wen, Liu Xuande is benevolent and righteous, so he regards General Shoucheng as nothing, can he put this lord of Xiliang in his eyes? And because of the edict, Cao Cao and General Shoucheng, never die, if I Jingxiang sit idly by, Xiliang will be obtained by Cao Cao in the future, this time, for me Jingxiang, is in the benevolent way, and for you Xiliang, but I have to! ”

"Alarmist!" Ma Dai couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this: "This is your plan to divide the world!" ”

"A plan to divide the sky?" When Pang Tong heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Right and wrong, there is a public opinion, you Xiliang is new to Chang'an, and now the person who actually controls this place is Liu Bei, and General Bozhan may not know the details of this matter, and General Meng Qi will not turn a blind eye!" ”

Pang Tong said, Ma Chao's expression changed slightly, this Xiliang is no longer the previous Xiliang, since Liu Bei entered Xiliang, above the court, the changes are not small, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, their martial arts can be comparable to Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Chao, who was unique in the army before, now also feels a lot of pressure, Qiang people in the army, only on bravery, and Liu Bei's people, compared to Xiliang, their bravery is even more.

And Liu Bei's governance, mostly with gentle means, in the army demagoguery, is Han Sui's eight horsemen, there are also many people gradually heart Liu Bei, not to mention the military generals under the Ma Teng tent.

What's even more embarrassing is that Xiliang has always lacked advisers, and now Xiliang uses soldiers, all of whom seek advice from Xu Shu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui's military horses, and they are mostly constrained by them, as Pang Tong said, this day is long, Xiliang's surname Ma or Liu's surname is not yet known.

Ma Chao was silent for a long time, but after coming back to his senses, he was already drenched in cold sweat, seeing Pang Tong's eyes playing, Ma Chao sighed: "If the scholar doesn't go out, he will know the affairs of the world. ”

Ma Chao said, Ma Dai was shocked, and said to Ma Chao: "The situation in Chang'an is so critical? ”

Ma Chao nodded slightly when he heard this, and said: "Although my father has steadily suppressed Han Sui, Liu Bei is getting bigger and bigger, Naguan, Zhang, and Zhao are on a par with Ma in martial arts, and Ma's reputation in the army is not as good as in the past." ”

"But Xiliang Iron Cavalry, after all, is in the hands of my father!" Ma Dai said, Ma Chao smiled bitterly, and said to Ma Dai: "Now there are at least half of the iron horses, which are controlled by Xu Shu, and there is no good person in Xiliang, so this is a last resort, if there is no such person, how can I enter Chang'an?" ”

Pang Tong saw the two of them discussing, and he didn't shy away from it, and couldn't help laughing: "Pang Mou came to Xiliang here, just to relieve General Shoucheng's worries, Pang Mou and that Xu Shu are classmates, what are their means, Pang Mou knows in his heart, in short, the matter of these two alliances is related to the survival of Xiliang, and now this wine is also eaten, Pang Mou went to Chang'an the next day to meet General Shoucheng, this escort along the way, and hope that General Meng Qi will take charge of it!" ”
