Ma Teng suddenly turned his head and said, "Chao'er, what do you think?" ”

Ma Chao said: "The child will try his best to find a way to solve the knot between the two races, but there is no good way yet." But don't worry, the father will always have a way. ”

Ma Teng nodded and said, "Since Guangwu Zhongxing and the Qiang people asked to guard the western border for the Great Han and reconnoiter the enemy, the war between the Han and Qiang has continued until now. In the past two hundred years, how many heroes have emerged. For example, Sanming in Liangzhou, so brave and strategic, as soon as they left Liangzhou, the Qiang people rebelled. The chaos is absolutely severe, what is it in my child? ”

Ma Chao said: "The child does his best. ”

Ma Teng nodded and said, "Then I can rest assured as a father." By the way, how are Tie'er and Hu'er doing? ”

Ma Chao said: "The two children have been appointed as the ten-division commander by the child, but they have never dared to let them go to the battlefield, and once the war starts, they will hide from a distance and watch the battle. But they are also making rapid progress, and the children can see the talent in them. ”

Ma Teng shook his head and said, "They are still young, how can they have any talents?" You still need to experience more while you are young. When they grow up, let them listen to you at your disposal. ”

Ma Chao nodded, and Ma Teng said again: "As a father, I don't dare to expect them to grow up like you and Dai'er, as long as they can become captains, they are already very satisfied with their fathers, so dare to ask my Ma family to produce five generals?" ”

"Father, it's the sixth general!"

As soon as Ma Teng finished speaking, a young children's voice suddenly sounded, and Ma Teng and Ma Chao turned their heads to see that it was Ma Chao's little sister Ma Yunlu! Ma Yunlu was only seven years old at this time, and she was pink and cute, with a smiling face and a red face, as cute as a porcelain doll. It's just that Ma Yunlu is wearing a pair of armor that suits her figure at this time, which was specially created for her by Ma Teng.

Ma Chao happily said "ah", he liked this lovely little sister the most, and said with a smile: "Little sister, come here!" ”

"Big brother!" Ma Yunlu is also the closest to Ma Chao, and immediately opened his arms, like a bird throwing into the forest, and ran into Ma Chao's arms. Ma Chao hugged Ma Yunlu on his lap and sat down.

Ma Teng was a little unhappy, his face sank, and he said, "It's not big or small!" Get off your brother! ”

Ma Yunlu just grimaced at Ma Teng and didn't move.

Ma Chao said: "Why is the little sister here? ”

Ma Yunlu said: "I just heard that my brother has won the battle again, my little sister is so happy, I can't find my brother everywhere!" ”

"What are you looking for me?"

Ma Yunlu said innocently: "Of course, I want you to teach me to fight!" I know that my brother is invincible in the world, and he will definitely be able to teach me to be a fierce general! In the future, when I grow up, I will go to the battlefield with my eldest brother and help my eldest brother fight the world! ”

Ma Chao said happily: "Haha! Okay, ambitious, the eldest brother agreed! ”

"Big brother really agreed?" Ma Yunlu cheered.

Ma Chao smiled: "Then can there be a fake?" When our Yunlu grows up, my brother will ask you to recruit an army of women, and you will be their lieutenant general, okay! ”

"Okay, big brother can't go back!" Ma Yunlu said.

"What are these words? Your eldest brother and I can be regarded as crisscrossing Xiliang, how could I lie to you! Ma Chao said with a smile. He really wants Ma Yunlu to build a women's army to come and see.

"Big brother is the best!" Ma Yunlu was very happy, and her two little hands hugged Ma Chao's waist.

Ma Teng said in surprise: "Chao'er, aren't you joking? ”

"Of course not."

Ma Teng said in surprise: "Then don't you go back to Chen Cang with your father?" Your mother misses you so much. ”

Ma Yunlu thought for a while and said, "No, I won't go back." Anyway, the eldest brother will soon drive away Han Sui's old thief, and when the time comes, he will let his mother move to Xiliang to live. ”

When Ma Teng heard this, he was also very happy and said, "Okay, then you can follow your brother." ”

"Hehe, father is the best!" Ma Yunlu shouted happily.

Ma Teng said to Ma Chao: "Chao'er, when Pang De finishes the battle and becomes Gongying, he will return to Chencang to sit in charge of his father, you can be careful in everything." ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "The child can save it." ”

Ma Teng glanced at the porcelain doll in Ma Chao's arms dotingly, and said reluctantly: "Also, you must take care of Lu'er!" ”

Ma Chao nodded solemnly.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Cheng Gongying took the letter picked up by the messenger, looked at it a few times hurriedly, and said in surprise.

At this time, after Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing, Liang Xing and two thousand remnants of the army received Han Sui's letter, Cheng Gongying ordered the army to stop for a while. Originally, it was only a two-hour journey to Wating, but because this remnant had experienced a long-distance attack, and experienced a difficult siege and rout, his physical strength was exhausted, so Cheng Gongying walked for four hours, and only arrived at a place twenty miles away from Wating. The two thousand remnants of the soldiers stopped their horses and rested in the shade of the trees, while Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing, and Liang Xing went to the side to discuss.

Yan Xing and Liang Xing also came around, looked at the text on the letter, it was an order from Han Sui, so that they didn't have to go to get the tile pavilion, because after taking the tile pavilion, it was inevitable that the grass would startle the snake, so that the Fufeng Ma clan was afraid and returned to Sanfu; Instead, he turned to take the more critical street pavilion, which was a hundred miles east of the tile pavilion, as long as the street pavilion was taken, if Fufeng Ma wanted to escape back to Sanfu, he could only go to Dasanguan, but to go to Dasanguan, he had to pass through Jicheng, which was heavily garrisoned by Han Sui; Or risk the whole army to starve to death and climb over Longshan.

"We have already led our army to this place, which is only twenty miles from Wating, and can be reached in a short time. Why did the lord order me to go and farther away from the street pavilion at this critical juncture? Cheng Gongying was puzzled, anxious and kept wandering back and forth, his pace flustered and hurried.

Yan Xing saw it, and immediately thought of a possibility: this is a strategy set up by Ma Chao, it may be that Ma Chao intercepted Cheng Gongying's letter to Han Sui, in order to prevent Cheng Gongying from going to the tile pavilion, Ma Chao wrote a fake letter, ordering Cheng Gongying to go to the street pavilion, and on the way to the street pavilion, it is very likely that there is an ambush.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing showed an extremely imperceptible smile: another opportunity to restrain Han Sui had come.

Yan Xing said: "You still don't understand this? The lord wants us to take down the street pavilion. Why did the military advisor hesitate? ”

Cheng Gongying said anxiously: "But the key is that Wating is also an important town of Ma Chao, once it is taken, it will be of great benefit to our army." I don't understand, why doesn't the lord want a tile pavilion? ”

Yan Xing pretended to be relaxed and said, "Because the street pavilion is more important than the tile pavilion. As long as he succeeds and cooperates with the Dasanguan who is waiting for the battle, he can completely cut off Ma Chao's connection with the imperial court, and he Ma Chao will go deep alone without the street pavilion. When the time comes, wouldn't it be much smoother for the lord to deal with Ma Chao? ”

"Having said that, the Wating Pavilion is close at hand, and as long as I am willing, the Wating Pavilion will definitely take it. And the street pavilion is a hundred miles away, isn't the lord willing to seek the near and far? Cheng Gongying said puzzled.
