Chapter 185: Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated
Some people bow their heads and ponder, some people disdain, and some people look at the person who speaks with an unkind face, and they have the meaning of doing something if they don't agree.
"The words have been exhausted, it is your business to listen or not, the words are not speculative, it is useless to say more, I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to have a banquet with you again and say goodbye!" It's a pity that Yao Sheng didn't pay attention to the different thoughts and reasoning of the others, and after finishing his words, he clasped his hands into fists, turned around and strode away.
Yao Sheng was not surnamed Yao, but the leader of the Burning Qiang. Among the Qiang people, Burning Dangqiang was once a particularly brilliant hero, but later after the rebellion was suppressed, this branch fell, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, Yao Sheng led Burning Dangqiang to develop and grow again, becoming a pivotal branch of the Qiang people today.
Yao Sheng has great ambitions and talents, and restoring the glory of his ancestors has always been an ambition in his heart that has never been revealed by others, because after he became the leader, he claimed to be a descendant of Emperor Shun and changed his surname to Yao, and he himself named himself Sheng, which means righteousness, brightness and prosperity.
Just a self-proclaimed statement shows how ambitious he is in his heart, and now, just one sentence is enough to show how high his vision is compared to others.
Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep sense of amazement and deep vigilance in each other's eyes.
"Such a person must not be allowed to return to the tribe alive." Almost instantly, such thoughts welled up in the hearts of both of them at the same time.
It is true to surrender Dong Zhuo, but the ambition in the hearts of the two has not been completely wiped out, born in Xiliang, they are wild and untamable in their bones, and for so many years, the two have always regarded the Qiang people as their "forbidden body", and at this time, a person with a unique vision suddenly appeared, which immediately made the two of them jealous.
However, Yao Sheng left, and the rest of the people suddenly didn't have much thought, shouting and shouting, scolding and scolding, and the people who were full of big tents soon left without a single left, a discussion, and once again stuck in the moment.
"My lord, someone is from the south." As soon as Ma Teng and Han Sui walked not far away, they saw one of the generals under their command walking back and forth anxiously, and their eyes couldn't help but light up after seeing the two, and they immediately ran over, glanced around and whispered in Ma Teng's ear.
"Oh? Has anyone else noticed? Ma Teng's heart tightened, and his face became gloomy. The so-called south is just his name for Niu Fu, although he can see Dong Zhuo, but for Niu Fu, he is not how he looks at it, and at this time he is in the Qiang camp, so he naturally has to be careful when he does things.
"No, the people who came were very cautious, and they only showed up when they touched the edge of the main public tent, and the last general deliberately walked around the surroundings when he came, and he didn't find the slightest abnormality." The generals were also very cautious, and as they spoke, their eyes never stopped, sweeping around.
"Okay, let's go back quickly." After Ma Teng whispered, he turned to nod at Han Sui, and the two of them didn't say a word, and hurriedly left behind them.
In the afternoon of the same day, when Ma Teng hurriedly returned to talk to the people sent by Niu Fu, Yao Sheng took the people from his tribe to leave first, and the group lost all the supplies and left lightly.
In the evening, Mi Di sent someone to find Han Sui to go to the banquet, and after saying goodbye to Ma Teng, he went alone, Ma Teng stayed alone in the tent, and stayed up until late at night when there was no one, and then he changed his clothes and walked out of the camp carefully, and hurried in the direction of Zhangye City.
"General Ma, here." At the gate of the city, the hole in the gate was open, and a man stood in the middle, the same man that Ma Teng saw during the day.
"Did Xiangguo ever sleep? What's the mood? Ma Teng reached out and quietly stuffed some valuable things into the man's arms, and whispered in his ear.
"I haven't slept yet, but during this time, the lord has sent someone to inquire four or five times, but I'm afraid I'm a little anxious." The person who came got the benefit, suddenly smiled, turned his head and said the news that Ma Teng wanted to know at a very fast speed, and then led the way without making a sound.
Soon, the two walked into Dong Zhuo's place one after the other, and when they walked to the door, the person who led the way quickly left, leaving only Ma Teng standing solemnly, and after a while, Xu Chu opened the door and welcomed him in.
"Sinner Ma Teng, meet Xiangguo." As soon as he entered, Ma Teng saw Dong Zhuo sitting in the first place, and immediately fell to the ground and bowed.
"Get up." Dong Zhuo didn't go down, and said in a flat voice, and there was no joy in his voice, which made Ma Teng's heart suddenly lift.
Dong Zhuo didn't speak again, and after Ma Teng got up, he could only stand respectfully below, not daring to move lightly. After a long time, just when Ma Teng felt that his legs were a little numb, Dong Zhuocai spoke again: "Benxiang is not an unkind person, it's just that you and Han Sui have gone back and forth before, which is really unconvincing, and now you are cornered, but one day, Benxiang will widen the road you have taken, how can you make Benxiang believe that the situation before will not happen again?" ”
After a slight pause, seeing Ma Teng frowning and wanting to speak, he interrupted again: "There are many Qiang people, even in the entire Liangzhou, the people who support them are basically more or less connected with the Qiang people, but so what? The Han family may not be able to calm the border troubles, but I, Dong Zhuo, have absolute confidence that I can definitely calm the border troubles in my lifetime and return a stable residence to the people in the border areas. ”
"Don't say anything else, it's the Qiang people who are dispatched this time, I'm afraid there are nearly 100,000, I just garrison troops in Zhangye, I can block them out of the city, I can not exaggerate to say, with the strength of Yongliang now, as long as I want, I can wipe out the Qiang people at any time, you and Han Suishen are not involved, I have never relied on it."
Dong Zhuo's words were hard to hear, at least in Ma Teng's ears, his lips trembled, and the anger in Ma Teng's heart began to rise: "Since Xiangguo is so confident, Ma Teng has nothing to say, in this case, why did Xiangguo agree to our investment?" Could it be that humiliating us like this is the meaning of Xiangguo? ”
Tie Qing's face was blue, no one knew how angry Ma Teng was in his heart now, he had been in Xiliang for many years, and he had never let people be humiliated like this, as he said, since Dong Zhuo didn't take them seriously at all, why did he recruit them? You must know that Dong Zhuo had already made it very clear before, he was not at ease with the two, except that Dong Zhuo deliberately wanted to humiliate them, Ma Teng couldn't think of any other reason at all.
A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated.
Although Ma Teng is not a person who regards life and death as nothing, he still has this integrity.
