Ma's ultrasonic sound sounded, and Ma Teng appeared on the Guanlou and said, "Meng Qi, you enter the customs alone, and you have something to explain to your father."
Entering the pass alone, Ma Chao's face showed embarrassment. After entering the pass, if something happened, he might not be able to escape.
Ma Chao thought for a while, then shouted at Guan Shun Ma Teng: "What's the matter with father, just tell me?"
Ma Teng's complexion changed, and he said angrily, "If you are told to come in, just come in. Could it be that my father can't persuade you now, or is it that my father will harm you?"
Hearing the scolding, Ma Chao hesitated for a while, and decided to go to Guanzhong. After all, blood is thicker than water, and he did not believe that Ma Teng would harm him.
Seeing that Ma Chao was about to enter the customs, Zhong Yao motioned to Xu Chu, meaning to let him enter the customs together and leave Ma Chao behind.
Xu Chu got the signal, got off his horse and caught up with Ma Chao and said, "Lord Zhou Mu, Xu and you go together to avoid any accidents."
Xu Chu suggested that Ma Chao was quite moved. After all, when he entered Guanzhong, he didn't know what would happen. It is also a good thing to have someone to take care of him.
Just when Ma Chao was about to agree, he closed the gate and Ma Teng shouted, "Only my son can enter this matter, and the rest will wait outside the gate."
Zhong Yao's strategy can fool Ma Chao and Han Sui, but it can't fool Ma Teng who is outside the situation.
If Xu Chu follows and enters, Ma Chao's life will be threatened. After all, Guanzhong is full of Cao Cao's soldiers, and Ma Teng can't move.
Chapter 502 Change
Seeing that his father refused to let Xu Chu follow, Ma Chao was also startled, thinking there was some kind of trick, he stopped in his tracks.
Seeing this, Ma Teng felt angry and shouted: "Meng Qi, don't tell me you don't listen to my father's words now?"
"Father can hand over the power of Xiliang to you, so why not be as good as an outsider, if you still recognize me as your father, you will enter the customs quickly."
Under Ma Teng's scolding, Ma Chao entered Tongguan with uneasiness. Cao Hong led a group of soldiers to greet him and surrounded him.
Seeing such a scene, Ma Chao's face changed slightly, and he asked loudly: "Cao Hong, what do you mean, didn't you say you would surrender?"
Cao Hong said mockingly: "Ma Chao, you are too naive, soldiers are not tired of cheating, don't you know?"
Hearing this, Ma Chao's face flushed with anger, and he wanted to fight with his gun.
"Stop! Cao Hong, the old man came here with the order of the prime minister and His Majesty's edict. Do you want to disobey the order?"
Hearing Ma Teng's voice, Cao Hong showed hesitation on his face, and finally waved away the soldiers. "Since the prime minister has ordered it, I will not be in a difficult situation, but if Ma Chao doesn't lead his army back, he will never leave Tongguan."
Hearing Cao Hong's threat, Ma Teng said coldly, "My son wants to leave, but I'm afraid you won't be able to stop him. When the time comes, the Xiliang army will go all out to tackle key problems. I'm afraid the prime minister will blame you, and you won't be able to bear it."
Faced with Ma Teng's counter-threat, Cao Hongqi couldn't say a word, because Ma Teng's words were all reasonable.
Cao Hong took a look at Ma Teng, and indignantly led his army away, leaving the two of them to communicate alone.
Seeing Cao Hong leave, Ma Chao lowered his gun and knelt down and said, "Father is in Xuchang, how are you doing?"
Ma Teng helped Ma Chao up, and said dotingly: "Everything is fine, I am just worried about Meng Qi, that's why I made this trip."
Seeing that his father was worried about him, Ma Chao looked puzzled. Right now he has gained the upper hand and there is no danger at all.
Seeing Ma Chao's doubts, Ma Teng said, "Meng Qi, if my father's guess is correct, I'm afraid Zhong Yao is already in your army?"
Regarding this question, Ma Chao thought it was Cao Hong who told him, so he didn't care, but nodded.
Seeing that Ma Chao didn't care, Ma Teng approached and whispered, "Meng Qi, you thought Cao Hong would tell his father, this is a trick."
"Zhong Yao's false surrender was just to delay time, and there will definitely be others behind him. You are not their opponent, so let's lead the army back to Xiliang."
Hearing that Zhong Yao pretended to surrender, Ma Chao was so angry that he was going to go out to question him face to face, but was stopped by Ma Teng.
"Meng Qi, my father asked you to come here to discuss something important. If you are acting impulsively like this, how can you rest assured my father."
Ma Chao suppressed the anger in his heart, and said reluctantly: "Father taught me the lesson, and the child will remember it."
Seeing Ma Chao's appearance, Ma Teng also knew that he was unhappy, so he said gently: "Cao Cao is sitting in several states, and he just can't mobilize troops for a while. After staying for a few months, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with the counterattack."
"However, my father has already discussed with him. As long as you lead the army to retreat, he will not lead the army to attack Xiliang, but there is one request."
"That is, you will be in charge of the military in the future, and the rest of the government affairs will be handled by Kong Rong, a doctor appointed by His Majesty."
Ma Chao is still willing to give up the troublesome government affairs, but who knows if Kong Rong will tell him what to do at that time, and if Cao Cao's words don't count, it will be too late.
Ma Chao said worriedly: "Father, this must be Cao Cao's plan to delay the army. It is just to let the child retreat."
Ma Teng shook his head and said: "Meng Qi, your father has already thought about what you are worried about, and please His Majesty tell the world, so you can rest assured."
Ma Chao was tempted to be in charge of the military and horse power in Xiliang, but with Han Sui around, he might not be able to do so for a while.
Ma Chao thought for a while and said, "Father, you didn't say that you want to unite with Han Sui to protect yourself? Why has something changed now?"
Ma Teng replied: "At this time and at that time, my father has already arranged everything for you in Xuchang, as long as you return to His Majesty."
"Tsk." Ma Chao asked, "What about Han Sui? Can I send troops to destroy him?"
Ma Teng thought for a while and said, "Han Sui is good at some dirty tricks. If Meng Qi agrees, he can explain to His Majesty or Cao Cao as a father, and let them give you the power to help you pacify Xiliang."
After resolving his worries, Ma Chao thought for a while and said, "Well, Boyer can lead his army back, but if Cao Cao wants to send troops to Xiliang in the future, then Boyer will fight him to the death."
Ma Chao listened to Ma Teng's persuasion and chose to submit to Liu Xie expressly, but it's hard to say what he really thinks in his heart.
However, Ma Teng was relieved to be able to complete the assignments of Cao Cao and Liu Xie. After all, Ma Chao could still listen to advice.
As for what Ma Chao is worried about, Ma Teng will naturally try his best to arrange it properly, after all, it is related to the development of the Ma family.
The crisis in Tongguan began to change dramatically after the arrival of Ma Teng. The former mortal enemy, also under the leadership of Ma Teng, sat together under Tongguan.
Originally, they wanted to choose Ma Chao Dazhai, but Zhong Yao and others were unwilling, for fear of accidents, they proposed to be in Tongguan, but Ma Chao was unwilling.
In desperation, Ma Teng could only discuss the cooperation between the two parties and set up Tongguan in the open sky. Fortunately, it was still hot at this time, otherwise they would all be shivering with cold.
Zhong Yao, Ma Teng, Cao Hong, Ma Chao, Pang De and others sat at the dark table at this time, waiting for Ma Teng to finish speaking.
Ma Teng made a long speech and added one last sentence. "This Grand Tutor is following the order of His Majesty and the Prime Minister to persuade you to make peace. There is no personal relationship here. If there is any dissatisfaction with that party, you can talk about it and negotiate together."
To make peace in the face of danger, Zhong Yao is naturally willing, but in case Ma Chao will open up his mouth and make random conditions, it is still a pre-emptive speech.
"Since it is His Majesty's will, we will naturally obey it. I wonder when Xiliang Mu will retreat?"
Seeing Zhong Yao's appearance like this, Ma Chao was already full of anger, and his face turned red and white with anger.
If it wasn't for Ma Teng's arrival, he would have fallen into Zhong Yao's plan and waited for nearly a month in vain. Although he is getting back together now, the feeling of being played by a monkey is still difficult for Ma Chao to calm down.
But looking at his father's face, Ma Chao still didn't get angry, and said coldly: "The talk is over, the Benzhou Muzi will leave."
"Since Your Majesty and Prime Minister Cao gave the order, what you promised should be done as soon as possible. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the Benzhou Mu needs your help to attack Han Sui."
