Sun Zhang said: "It's a declaration of war!" ”

Ma Chao heard this, and said indifferently: "I don't understand what Sun Changshi said." ”

Guo Sheng laughed weirdly and said, "Now that the facts are in front of you, why should Ma Qing pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Don't you really know when I'm waiting? Ma Qing was an enemy of the general He Jin several times, which not only made him lose face many times, but also caused him to lose his troops and lose the right to record Shangshu. If I were him, I would definitely hate Ma Qing to the core. I'm afraid that in the eyes of the great general He Jin, his most hated opponent is not me, nor Your Majesty, but Ma Qing! ”

Ma Chao didn't care about this, and even sat crooked in the seat, put his legs on the armrests of the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "Well, that's the case." But what does this have to do with you? You made an unannounced visit late at night to remind me that General He Jin hated me very much? ”

Zhang Rang was even more surprised when he saw that Ma Chao didn't care so much, and the other middle servants were puzzled. Zhang Rang said: "Don't you still understand the foot? The great general He Jin will definitely use all his tricks in the future and do everything possible to deal with his subordinates. If you want to save your life, you must join forces with us to have a chance of survival. ”

As soon as Ma Chao heard this, he saw that the Ten Standing Attendants had already initially understood his stubborn temper, and even took the initiative to request to join forces, thinking that if the Ten Standing Attendants could put down their bodies and obey him, then it would not be impossible to form an alliance with them. After all, with the help of the ten permanent servants with many henchmen, he can gain a firm foothold in the court. Ma Chao put his legs down, sat down again, and asked, "So in the opinion of Zhang Changshi, how should I join forces with you?" ”

Zhang Rang said: "Naturally, from now on, it will be under us." I waited in the palace to respond to every call, and I held heavy troops outside the palace. As long as the foot is under the command, I can guarantee that the foot can be called the former Duan Cheng! ”

Ma Chao originally thought that the Ten Standing Servants had the sincerity to be on an equal footing with him, but when they heard Zhang Rang's words, it turned out that they still wanted to control him and let him be their eagle dog. In the past, Duan Cheng obeyed the orders of the eunuchs and was ordered by the eunuchs to suppress the students. Ma Chao had never been so angry, so he was very displeased.

Ma Chao said coldly: "That's a good point! It's just that you want me to be your stooge! My brocade horse is beyond the famous door, and no one in the land of Xizhou is indispensable. How can I do what you want? ”

When the ten permanent attendants heard this, they were even more surprised, but they didn't expect Ma Chao to dare to refuse their request to join forces.

Zhao Zhong said tentatively: "Then it seems that what kind of requirements do you have to meet before you are willing to join forces with us?" ”

Ma Chao looked at the ten permanent servants and said easily: "It's very simple, you wait for me to be the master, take me first, and obey me." In this way, we can join forces with you and others to deal with the great general He Jin. ”

"Hahahaha!" As soon as they heard Ma Chao's words, the ten permanent attendants immediately burst into laughter.

Ma Chao said lightly: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhao Zhong smiled: "I'm so sorry to laugh!" How ridiculous it is to dare to force us to submit to our feet! ”

Xia Yun said: "Who do you think we are waiting for? When we are waiting to dominate the court, we are still shepherding sheep in the Qiang! ”

Ma Chao smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I don't have to talk about it." Everyone, please come back! ”

Zhang Rang saw that Ma Chao really dared to be so resolute, and knew that their plan to win over Ma Chao and the Xiliang soldiers under his command was close to failure, and he couldn't help but be even more anxious. Zhang Rang threatened: "If you are so fearless, aren't you afraid of the general He Jin?" If you don't join forces with us, how long can you survive under He Jin's intrigues? ”

Ma Chao smiled contemptuously and said, "Although Ma Chao is young, on the battlefield, what battles have you never seen?" Although it is dangerous in the capital, is it still comparable to the battlefield swords? ”

Zhao Zhong also threatened: "You can know that if you refuse to obey our orders, and at the same time make enemies with the great general He Jin, you will attract us and the great general He Jin to attack together!" In the entire court, there is no one who has such courage! ”

Hearing the persecution of the two of them in every way, Ma Chao was even more unhappy in his heart, and retorted: "Since this is the case, please take my Jin Ma Chao as the first person with this courage!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Rang was already full of anger, and he threatened again: "I have such a fearless foot, but I think that with 30,000 Xiliang elite soldiers in my hands, I can already gain a firm foothold in this stormy capital and become a force." But he doesn't know the affairs of the capital, and he doesn't know that in the capital, a large number of troops may not be able to protect himself. In the past, Dou Wu was also a general, and the troops he mastered were not necessarily less than the 30,000 Xiliang elite soldiers under his feet. However, Cao Jie and Wang Fu mobilized the soldiers of the five battalions of the Northern Army with only one Zhang Huan, surrounded Dou Wu's mansion, forced Dou Wu to commit suicide, and all the people died. When it came to the last word "death", Zhang Rang deliberately said it very seriously.

But that didn't scare Ma Chao.

Ma Chao said-for-tat: "Time has changed, and it is no longer the past." You are not Cao Jie and Wang Fu; I am not Dou Wu, Chen Fan, and even more not Duan Cheng and Zhang Huan! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ten permanent servants were in a state of mind.

Ma Chao added: "Besides, if the 30,000 male soldiers under my command really can't play a pivotal role in this capital, you will never be willing to come to the door in person and take the initiative to visit." It has only been the first day that I have entered Beijing, and you can't wait, which shows that you are very angry with my subordinates. ”

Zhao Zhong had a cold face and gave an ultimatum: "Can you think about it now?" You really don't want to join forces with us, but want to be our enemy?! ”

Ma Chao said coldly: "If this is what you want to see, then I can try my best to fulfill you!" ”

Zhang Rang nodded and said, "Okay, good!" Good courage! I'm waiting to admire! Let's go! ”

After Zhang Rang finished speaking, the thirteen members of the Zhongchang Attendant responded one after another, put on their cloaks and hats again, covered their faces, and then walked out of the main hall angrily and walked towards the back door.

Watching the Ten Standing Servants and the others leave, Ma Chao was still indignant. These dead eunuchs actually wanted to ride on his head, but he didn't let them ride, and these dead eunuchs actually made threats! This kind of bird anger, Ma Chao is the first time to suffer.

Jia Xu and Man Chong walked out from behind the screen, and when they saw the two of them, Ma Chao thought back to himself, this time he angered the ten permanent servants, and he was fighting with the eunuch group and the foreign relatives group, which violated the total of the previous three.

Ma Chao sighed and said, "I'm too emotional, and I've set up a strong enemy, forgive me." ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Although the young master has set up a strong enemy, this is also inevitable. ”

Ma Chao said suspiciously: "How do you say this?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The young master will complete the established great cause, and he will inevitably fight for power. And if you want to fight for power, you have to fight with the ten permanent servants who hold great power and are deeply favored by the emperor. Only by eradicating the cancer of the Ten Standing Servants and ensuring that the only person who is favored by the emperor and entrusted with great power is the young master, can the young master successfully implement his plan. Therefore, it is normal to have conflicts with the Ten Permanent Attendants. ”
