Chapter 1246 - Exchanging Grain and Grass for Ma Chao

Liu Wei asked Ma Teng to say something clearly, and Ma Teng quickly stood up and strode to the middle of the front hall.

Clenched his fists and bowed, and bowed deeply to Liu Wei, Ma Teng said: "Your Royal Highness, the last general guards Xiliang all the year round, and there are many Qiang warriors under his command, but Xiliang is bitter cold, and it is difficult to save grain and grass......"

"General Ma!" Before Ma Teng finished speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand at him and interrupted him.

As soon as Ma Teng's words came out, Liu Wei had already guessed that he came to Luoyang, named Daohe, but in fact he wanted to form an alliance with his own family and obtain the grain and grass needed by the army from the Central Plains.

"The warriors under the command of this king are like clouds, and the consumption of grain and grass is not counted!" Staring at Ma Teng, Liu Wei said to him: "The general just wants this king to transport some grain and grass to Xiliang, and this king can agree to this!" ”

The conversation was interrupted by Liu Wei, and Ma Teng's heart was already cold.

I thought that asking for food and grass from Liu Wei would be categorically refused, and I was feeling lost in my heart, but Liu Wei's words made Ma Teng immediately rekindle hope.

But then, what Liu Wei said made him hesitate.

"It is also quite difficult for this king to allocate grain and grass!" Staring at Ma Teng, Liu Wei said: "At present, the army under the command of this king is fighting in the south and the north, and most of the fierce generals have left Luoyang, and there are more expeditions, but the number ......of soldiers is large, but the fierce generals are not enough."

As he spoke, Liu Wei's gaze shifted from Ma Teng to Ma Chao, who was sitting in the hall.

Finding that Liu Wei's gaze turned to Ma Chao, Ma Teng was stunned, and there was a feeling of entanglement in his heart.

Sitting in Xiliang, it is often rebelled by the Qiang people, and the army under Ma Teng is also constantly conquering.

Every time he conquers, Ma Chao always takes the lead as a pioneer.

Although Liu Wei didn't say it explicitly, his eyes told Ma Teng that if he wanted military rations, he must leave Ma Chao in Luoyang.

Hesitating in his heart, Ma Teng also glanced at Ma Chao.

Kneeling in the hall, Ma Chao's waist was straight, as if he didn't notice that Liu Wei and Ma Teng's eyes were wrong, and there was not even the slightest expression on his face.

Ma Chao is like this, which makes Liu Wei admire him even more.

At a young age, he has such determination, no wonder he can become a fierce general who has been famous for eternity!

"Your Highness...... Why? Although he already knew it in his heart, Ma Teng refused to take the initiative to speak, and asked Liu with some hesitation.

"Meng Qi and General Ma are sitting in Xiliang, and their prestige has long been spread!" Looking at Ma Chao, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth and said: "If General Ma is willing to leave Meng Qi in Luoyang for use, this king will save the rations of the palace, and he will definitely raise food and grass for the general!" ”

The meaning of Liu Bian's words is very clear.

Ma Chao stays in Luoyang, and the grain and grass will be sent to Xiliang, if Ma Teng refuses, there must be no grain and grass.

Standing in the middle of the front hall, Ma Teng's face showed hesitation, and he struggled for a while before he said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness is wrong to love dogs, and the last general will not dare to disobey." It's just that the dog grew up in Xiliang since he was a child, and his body was contaminated with a lot of Qiang people's brute spirit, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will stay by his side, and after a long time, he will not like it......"

"I have to be a fierce general, why don't you like it?" The smile on the corner of his mouth became heavier and heavier, and Liu Wei said to Ma Teng: "The general doesn't need to respond immediately, and go to the pavilion to rest for two days, and it is not too late to make plans after this king ascends the throne!" ”

Liu was not in a hurry to talk about it, but Ma Teng was anxious in his heart.

In the first year, the harvest in Xiliang was not very small, and the army scavenged for grain and grass, and many Qiang tribes had their grain robbed by the army.

In order to gather more grain and grass, the Xiliang soldiers and horses even did not hesitate to kill many Qiang people, which made the Qiang people even more dissatisfied, and often broke out friction with the Xiliang army.

Sitting in Xiliang, Ma Teng's responsibility is to kill all the Qiang people, and he needs to have a stable environment and be at peace with the Qiang people in Xiliang.

The lack of food and grass has always been a heart disease for Ma Teng.

Liu Wei was not in a hurry, but Ma Teng couldn't wait.

Turning his head and glancing at Ma Chao, Ma Teng's brows were tightly locked, and he clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "That is the case, the last general will retire first, and then reply to His Highness tomorrow!" ”

"Early tomorrow morning, this king will go to Songshan, let's talk about it in a few days!" With his eyelids squinting, Liu Wei said to Ma Teng: "The army consumes grain and grass, and it is not in a hurry!" ”

As soon as he said this, Ma Teng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but the words did not come out.

Liu Wei has already said this part, and if he continues, he will only become more and more passive, Ma Teng's only choice is to follow his intentions and then consider exchanging grain and grass with Ma Chao in a few days!

"Someone!" Ma Teng opened his mouth, and before he could understand whether he should speak again, Xu Shu had already shouted outside the hall.

A guard strode into the hall and stood at the door, bowing with fists clenched, waiting for Xu Shu's orders.

"Lead a few generals to the pavilion to rest!" First glanced at Liu Wei, and seeing that Liu Wei did not have any special expression on his face, Xu Shu gave an order to the guard.

"No!" In response, the guard stepped forward, made a gesture of invitation to Ma Teng and said, "General, please!" ”

Before the words were finished, Liu Wei asked people to lead them to the hall to rest, Ma Teng had a feeling of entanglement in his heart, but he didn't dare to refuse, he bowed to Liu Wei with his fists and said, "The last general will retire!" ”

Ma Teng retreated, Ma Chao and Ma Tie stood up in unison, strode behind him, and bowed to Liu Wei.

The servant bowed, turned and walked towards the door of the front hall.

Seeing their departing backs, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth.

"Your Highness!" The servants walked out of the front hall and walked down the stairs under the guidance of the guards, and Xu Shucai in the hall hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Ma Teng came to ask for grain and grass, thinking that the Xiliang army was short of food and grass. This person did not propose to serve His Highness, this Xiliang is afraid that it is ......"

"The affairs of Liaodong are not yet complete, Xiliang doesn't care about him!" Xu Shu was only halfway through his words, and Liu Wei waved his hand, interrupted him, and turned to everyone and said, "We will continue to discuss the matter of ascending the throne!" ”

Liu Wei and the staff and generals discussed the details of the enthronement ceremony.

Ma Teng, who left the front hall, had a pale face, and after going down the stairs, under the guidance of the guards, he went straight out of the palace.

Following behind Ma Teng, Ma Tie and Ma Chao always didn't say a word.

has been following Ma Teng's leadership all year round, and both of them know how scarce the food and grass of the Xiliang army is.

The soldiers of Great Qin are not short of food and grass, and the King of Qin is not arrogant or impatient when discussing this matter, but Ma Teng can't afford to wait!

The guard led the servants through a street, into the building, and set up the rooms they were staying in, before saying goodbye and leaving.

As soon as the door was closed by the guards from the outside, Ma Teng strode to the window, stretched out his head to look out of the window, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, so he turned around and whispered to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi and my son, the King of Qin thinks of you and wants to leave you in Luoyang, what should I do about this?" ”

Ma Chao fought with the Qiang people in Xiliang all the year round, and on the battlefield, he was a fierce general who made the two of them frightened, but under the battlefield, he was not familiar with these court battles.

Stunned by Ma Teng's words, Ma Chao whispered: "If the child stays in Luoyang, he can exchange for a lot of grain and grass, which is quite appropriate for my Xiliang army!" ”

"So, Meng Qi is willing to stay in Luoyang?" Ma Chao's words made Ma Teng frown slightly.

If you say that you will leave him in Luoyang, Ma Teng is really reluctant in his heart.

First, because Ma Chao is his son, he left his son in Luoyang, and Ma Teng has always been a little unable to give up.

The other is that Ma Chao has a lot of prestige among the Xiliang army, and he is also very deterrent to the Qiang people, leaving him in Luoyang undoubtedly weakens the strength of the Xiliang army!

He stared at Ma Chao with a tight brow, and after a long while, Ma Teng nodded and let out a long sigh.

Ma Teng and others disguised themselves as civilians to enter Luoyang, and on the top of Song Mountain, a figure stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the vast mountains in the distance.

Spring is strong, and the mountains are verdant green.

Standing on the top of the cliff, the mountain wind swept past her, lifting her clothes, making her back look even more gloomy and lonely.

Holding the long sword in his left hand, Wang Liu did not have the slightest expression on his face, like an ice sculpture standing on the top of a mountain.

Behind her, there were twelve palace guards.

The guards lay on the ground, twisting their bodies one by one, their faces full of pain.

Nameless taught them a new swordsmanship routine, practiced the one taught by Nameless, and their swordsmanship was no match for the previous ones.

But when they fought with Wang Liu, the strength of twelve people was unexpectedly unable to resist Wang Liu's breaths.

Left-handed sword!

A left-handed sword that has not yet been practiced!

Wang Liu, who was holding a long sword and had been able to knock twelve guards to the ground in a few breaths, did not have the slightest joy in his heart.

After practicing these days, her left hand is already as dexterous as her right hand, and if she competes with the swordsmanship masters in the world, Wang Liu is confident that there will be no opponent on her right except for Nameless and Deng Zhan.

But for some reason, she didn't feel the slightest joy in her heart.

She could feel that the left-handed sword she had practiced had only been superficially comprehended by her, and it was still far from the true Dacheng.

"General Wang is very quick!" Looking at the mountains in the distance, a lazy voice came from behind Wang Liu.

Just listening to the voice, she knew that it was Nameless who was behind her.

Without looking back, Wang Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Before the last general's right hand was abolished, I thought that I had the strength to fight with Mr., but after practicing the left-handed sword, I realized that the last general of the day, even if there were more than ten of them, were not Mr.'s opponents!" ”

Standing beside Wang Liu, a faint smile appeared on the nameless face.

He didn't speak, but his demeanor acknowledged what Wang Liu said.

"I'm leaving!" After being silent for a moment, Nameless finally came up with such a sentence and said to Wang Liu: "In two days, the King of Qin will climb Songshan Mountain to accept the Feng Zen, and the general can also return to the King of Qin!" ”
