"General Zilong, is indeed a dragon among people, as soon as I arrived in Youzhou, I have already begun to hear about General Zilong's deeds, within a year, I will guard the border, put down three clan rebellions, and calm the people."

"Won more than a dozen small battles, let the state condense into one place, stationed 110,000 troops on the border, distributed all over the place, all of them are getting stronger and stronger, and they can be called the generals who are in charge of themselves."

"It's because of the proper training of cyclists over the years that we have achieved such achievements."

When it comes to Zhao Yun, Pang Tong is eyebrows are indeed dancing, he personally went to check many military newspapers, and after listening to the rumors of the soldiers in the army, he understood how amazing and brilliant Zhao Yun was.

Not only can he lead the cavalry to charge, but also lead the troops with the demeanor of a Confucian general, so that all the soldiers under his command are convinced.

In addition, he imitated his own style, never coveted merit and property, and scattered all the kindness among the soldiers under his command, and led the troops strictly, and his style was vigorous and resolute.

Therefore, the prestige in the army is very high.

It can be called the second Xu Zhen.

During the years when Xu Zhen was not in Youzhou, Zhao Yun suppressed the rebellions in various places, and promoted many generals in the battle.

There were many war cavalry generals in the north, and the folk customs of Bingzhou have always been very strong, and the recruited townsmen entered the military camp as recruits, and they could become the elite of the elite after returning from the battlefield a few times.

So cultivating a large number of talents, how not to be amazing.

"News, it will arrive in three days, please rest assured, the land of Yongliang is secretly expanding, and after you come back, it will not continue."

Pang Tong smiled and bowed.

In his opinion, seeing this family background with his own eyes, the ambition in his heart is the most feasible to display, and there are too many troops in his hands.

"Okay."

……

Xiliang.

The grass is gone, and on the snow-white wasteland, in the camp of Ma's soldiers and horses, the war horses are running back and forth, and the battle armor is mostly covered with dust by the yellow sand, and the color is in a hurry.

These are all detectives sent out by the Xiliang army, of course, they are scouts, who have been fighting with Bingzhou on the border for a long time.

Over the years, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao have tested each other, and they are secretly fighting, although they have never fought against each other.

However, there are indeed many conflicts between the military forces of the two sides.

Both of them have also seen each other's ability to soldiers and horses, Ma Chao has a kind of chariot military formation, which can be double-drawn carriages, soldiers hold spears on the car, and the charge is agile and changeable.

Moreover, there is also a spear array, which can throw spears and shoot, which is more powerful than ordinary arrows, and it is said that this array is still a military formation learned when fighting with Fanbang.

The armor of the spear bearer is light, and there is thick combat armor in important parts to resist, and the armament is not very good, but the soldiers are very strong.

and Zhao Yun's white horse had fought before, and each had damage and retreated directly, which made Ma Chao feel strange.

Over the years, he has almost reached the point of invincibility in Xiliang, and the casualties have exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, one of the commanders of the scouts entered the tent, lifted his large cloak, and immediately smiled, "Brother, I'm back."

"How?"

Standing up from the tiger skin chair was a man in brocade, his face full of enthusiasm and a smile in his eyes.

A few big strides came over and pulled his arm, at this age, he was really high-spirited, dressed in a brocade robe and silver robe, wearing a lion-headed general's helmet, and his eyes were sincere.

"Brother, exact news, Xu Zhen has indeed returned, so Zhao Yun has no worries at all, and led his troops and horses into the thirty miles."

"Now it is estimated that the troops are directed at the place where we are stationed, what should we do?"

"Well done! I was going to meet him! During this time, he deceived me too much, I am afraid that he has forgotten the power of Xiliang Iron Cavalry!"

"Ma Tie, Ma Dai! With me leading the army eastward and entering Yongzhou, the Tun army is waiting for Zhao Yun here, watching me behead him, forcing Xu Bowen to come in person, I want to meet Xu Zhen for a while!"

Ma Chao's face was white, his eyes were bright, and after learning the news, he suddenly had the ambition to compete.

But as soon as he went out with his brother, he met his father Ma Teng, who came in in a hurry.

Ma Teng's long hair parted in the middle and black hair on his head

Belt, dressed in black robes and armor, is extraordinary, with deep wrinkles on his face and rough and dark skin, which is the result of years of battle on the battlefield.

These wrinkles bear witness to his glorious years.

"Meng Qi, don't be rash," Ma Teng came back with a straight face, a little anxious, and pressed Ma Chao to his position.

"As soon as Xu Bowen came back, there was an edict from the Son of Heaven to Xiliang, summoning me to go to Xudu, send the son as a proton, report the harvest in Liangzhou, and meet the Son of Heaven."

"Over the years, I have never received such a sincere summons from the Son of Heaven, this edict is still announced to the world, and the people know it, do you know what it means?"

"Do not disobey the will of God, or you will be passive."

Ma Chao put away his expectant and excited expression, Xu Zhen has always had the will of the Son of Heaven in his hands, and the orthodoxy of the Great Han, I am afraid that he can only endure him.

Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he Xu Bowen could do the same, because Xu Du still had Cao Zixuan in charge.

Don't do it at will, they didn't intend to come to Shou Yongliang before, even if they came, of course they came prepared now.

"Xu Zhen, I don't want to fight, at least I don't have any plans to go on the expedition now, so don't make a big fuss this year."

"As for the summons of the Son of Heaven, we have to discuss whether we can go, there are still many old Hanchen in the capital."

The corners of Ma Teng's mouth twitched, his eyes became distant, and after a moment, he immediately froze, patted Ma Chao's shoulder, and said, "Come, let's talk about it, Meng Qi must not be anxious."

"Good!"

Ma Chao's cheeks puffed out, and he glanced at the two brothers Ma Tie and Ma Dai, his father's order could not be violated, although he was now more and more famous in the army, but filial piety must not be messed up.

After entering the military tent, Ma Teng actually had other news to inform them, and outsiders talked a lot, maybe they would be heard and widely circulated.

When I went to the military tent, it was quieter, they were all relatives in the family, and it didn't matter if some words were wrong.

"Son, do you know that after Xu Bowen comes back, he will definitely fight with us when he guards the northern frontier."

"Because Cao Cao is attacking Jiangdong, and he wants to recover Xiliang, so, if he wants us to surrender or defeat us, the two of them, I'm afraid they both plan to finish their work in one battle, and then unify the Han Dynasty, if they can all be captured, then what is the possibility of resisting the remaining Sichuan and Shu?"

"At that time, it must be an edict that can allow Liu Zhang to return to the Han court, you must understand this situation."

Ma Chao narrowed his eyes and nodded solemnly.

"I, Ma's family, am full of loyalty, and after the gate, I can only descend to Han, not Cao and Xu," Ma Teng nodded and solemnly entrusted, "This is not self-sufficient."

"But I know in my heart that the Ma clan can't lose the name of Jiangmen, which is the result of the ancestors' perseverance for many years, and must not be forgotten by us like this, Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, but he is really a Han thief."

"This is what those important ministers of the Han family who died in Xudu said back then, this edict with blood, you can still remember that my Xiliang Han people still miss the old dynasty and miss the prosperity of the year."

"Therefore, we cannot avoid this battle, and now Xu Zhen is obviously unwilling to fight this winter."

"Son, Father has an idea, and I ask you to support it."

Ma Teng's tone became extremely solemn for a while, and the meaning of farewell in his eyes was very strong, Ma Chao seemed to think of something.

After all, the relationship between father and son is deep, how can he not know his father's thoughts, being suppressed by Xu Zhen in the name of the Son of Heaven like this is not good for Xiliang.

If you rebel, you will lose hearts and minds.

If it is smooth, they will always be led by Xu Zhen's nose, and any moral edicts and rhetoric in the future will make them hindered everywhere.

Since he is loyal to the Han family, he naturally can't fall into Xu Zhen's trap, but he can't go, and the Son of Heaven is gone.

For him Xiliang, there is no way out in his life, only to fight hard and return to the road, and this will disgrace the family's reputation from now on, and it will not even have any good results.

Because of the edict, Ma Teng didn't know if it was really instructed by the Son of Heaven, but he did sign a covenant at the beginning and showed his willingness to return to the Son of Heaven, which was still Li Dao Guo Yan

Age.

Under this covenant, he can't turn his back on Cao, and moreover, the more he has offended the Cao family in recent years, it has become difficult to make peace, as long as Cao Cao gets Xiliang, he will definitely not sit back and watch the Ma family grow.

On the contrary, it will be suppressed everywhere.

Ma Teng didn't need to say much about these words, he understood that his son Ma Chao must understand, after all, he can now be on his own.

In this border place, he was called General Shenweitian by the Qiang people, leading tens of thousands of cavalry and 100,000 foot soldiers.

The pillar of Xiliang also.

The border fought against the Biao clan, which was almost invincible, until recently met Zhao Yun, the general of Bingzhou, and was defeated.

The father and son looked at each other sincerely, Ma Chao already understood what his father said, so he immediately refused.

"No! Father, do you really plan to go to Xudu to meet the Son of Heaven?"

"Not bad!" Ma Teng narrowed his eyes, "I have made up my mind, I will definitely go, and I want to inform Xu Du of Ma's loyalty, and go to see me at this time, everything is for merit."

"Why is this," Ma Chao took off the white-haired lion helmet, turned around and walked a few steps and sighed: "Father can't go, I am stable in Xiliang, I am united, the army and the people want to be together, it is difficult to be attacked, how can the people of Liangzhou have been afraid of the Central Plains these years."

"What's a little fame? In ancient times, it was all about winning and losing, if you can win, you can write history, why not?"

"In the land of Xiliang, there are many wastelands, and he is good at riding and fighting, my Ma Mengqi is not afraid of Xu Bowen, although he comes."

Ma Teng stepped forward, squeezed his hand, pressed it down, and after holding it tightly, he said again very seriously, "Meng Qi, don't do this."

"To have the demeanor of a general, focus on the overall situation, must have a long-term vision, and want to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the Central Plains, this is the best way!"

"Father!"

Ma Dai listened to it for a long time, felt confused, and his face was full of doubts, and he came up and said, "Father, why do you want to go to Xudu!? Don't you know that once you enter Xudu, you will probably never be able to get out again?"

"Hehehe," Ma Tengden smiled with relief, and shook his head bitterly, sure enough, Ma Dai and Ma Tie didn't understand the truth, those fierce and brave daughters in the family can know how to lead women and horses, it is already really good.

Therefore, he understands that he doesn't have to make it clear to Ma Tie and Ma Dai, as long as Ma Chao understands.

Sooner or later, these heirs will understand.

"Of course the father knows, but this time, the father is sure."

When he said this, Ma Chao glared at him directly behind him and sighed secretly.

Alas, my father's generation of heroes, after Dong Thief left, Li Dao Guo Yan fought for the war, turned his troops into a series to this day, and has the current family business.

What he has decided has always been unchangeable, and there must be no refutation, and even if he is persuasive, he must be able to truly persuade him to change his mind.

But Ma Chao knew that he couldn't convince.

So my heart was half desperate and sad.

The wars and disputes in the world have never been included in a rush of leading troops, including too many.

Father's trip to the capital, I'm afraid he will definitely go.

And the reason why he really made up his mind to go to this experience was himself.

Ma Chao looked up to the sky and sighed, closing his eyes.

At this moment, how he hoped that all the juniors of the Ma family would not be successful, and they did not have such foresight and open-mindedness.

There is no such prowess and prestige.

It's a pity that he Ma Chao really has.

So it seems that there is no way, no position to advise.

My father is gone, and there is more than one luck.

"Meng Qi, don't move your troops, don't fight, you can retreat as much as Zhao Yun wants, just guard our original place, don't defend the unstable city."

"Yes."

Ma Chao responded coldly.

He knew he couldn't go.

Ma Teng looked at him deeply, and then left a letter for him, and said softly: "This is a letter to your uncle, and I also understand with him, you must guard Xiliang in the future, or...... Wait for the opportunity and go east to the Central Plains, this will be the best time to save the Son of Heaven!"

"It's a military order!"

Ma Chao's heroic spirit suddenly froze, and after holding his fists, he shouted like a bell: "Oh!"

……

Ten days later.

Taking advantage of the fact that the road has not been completely frozen in winter, Ma Teng took his boy Ma Tie and went all the way to Xudu.

Ma Tie was selected as a proton, and he brought a lot of Ma clansmen, as well as eight hundred guards.

At the same time, there were more than 5,000 dead soldiers who secretly dressed up as merchants and ordinary people along the way, walking on the road.

Go to Xudu to meet the Son of Heaven.

As soon as he set off here, Xu Zhen had already received the news not long after.

Zhuo County Office.

Xu Zhen got up and lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose, "Isn't it just to go to Xu Capital at this time to cause trouble?"

"Ma Teng must have a mind, what do you want? Who knows?!"

"Kong Ming."

Zhuge Liang stood up and bowed down, "Yes, it is for the sake of being famous, Master."

"Yes, do you think Zi Yu can see it?"

"It must be possible, but Ma Teng's move is admirable," Zhuge Liang sighed, "He is so chaotic, there must be a lot of secret agents following him, so that we and the hinterland are unstable, and there must be a plan, so the war in the south will definitely have an impact."

"The princes of the world can be grateful for their virtues, seize the opportunity to attack in groups, and maybe there will be ...... Throw your head and spill your blood, and raise the banner of destroying thieves."

Zhuge Liang sees this general trend very thoroughly, no matter how subtle the strategy is, once there are variables, it needs to be planned again.

And this so-called variable is a person who is afraid of Ma Teng and others, and who are not afraid of death and will have to change their lives.

"Then, do you want to tell Ziyu?"

Zhuge Liang raised his head slightly and observed Xu Zhen's expression.

But before Xu Zhen could speak, Jia Xu stood up from the opposite side first, and arched his hand: "I am suggesting, don't be!"

"Certainly, no!

Please also think twice about riding, at this time, for cycling, it is still a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
