Chapter 160 Middle Count

   "Zhang Liao, I have seen General Ma!" In the tent of Ma Teng's army, Zhang Liao bowed to Ma Teng neither humbly nor arrogantly.

   Looking at Zhang Liao's appearance, Ma Chao suddenly felt unhappy. Without waiting for Ma Teng to speak, he stood up and looked at Zhang Liaosen coldly: "What does Lu Bu mean? Sending an unknown soldier here? Are you humiliating me?"

   "If the little general thinks so, it's all right." Zhang Liao nodded slightly, his voice was very humble, and it almost didn't make people react.

   "Courtesy of death!" Ma Chao heard the words, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, stepped out a few steps, and pinched Zhang Liao's neck: "Who do you think you are?"

Zhang Liao stretched out his hand, and in the eyes of everyone unexpectedly, he drew his sword like lightning and flint. Ma Chao hurriedly wanted to draw his sword, but Zhang Liao slapped the sword on his hand. On his neck, he said coldly: "Yanmen Zhang Liao, who has been in the army for fourteen years, has been in the army for 12 years so far. He has fought Xianbei, swept the tiger's mouth, and fought over a hundred battles. He has never lost a single defeat. If you want to talk, then talk, if you don’t want to talk, but I don’t know how many people in this tent today are willing to be buried with Zhang Liao!”

"General Zhang, don't be angry, the dog has no shape, and the general should not be blamed. The two armies will not be killed when they fight. Ma Teng has no intention of hurting the general!" Ma Teng did not expect the young man who looked like a gentleman to move his hands. Coming here is very resolute, and if he disagrees, he is desperate.

"Successful sneak attack, what kind of skill is it, if you have the courage, we will kill you with a real knife!?" Ma Chao felt ashamed. He was not interested in knowing what happened to Zhang Liao. He only knew that he was captured by an unknown soldier under Lu Bu's command. Come on, it's a shame.

"If you were on the battlefield at this time, you would already be dead." Zhang Liao returned his sword to its sheath, glanced at Ma Chao and said, "I heard that the eldest son went into battle at the age of twelve to kill the enemy? If you can live to this day, the eldest son is also considered a blessing. man."

Ma Chao had already drawn his sword, but seeing Zhang Liao ignoring him like this, the pride in his heart made him unable to take action at such a time, and after a long time he snorted angrily: "Next time we meet on the battlefield, I will take your head! "

   "Get out!" Ma Teng pointed to the outside of the tent. If there were no outsiders present, he really wanted to follow the shameful thing to stage another show of filial piety.

   Ma Chao threw away his sword, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

   Ma Teng sighed and clasped his fists at Zhang Liao: "The family is unfortunate, General Zhang should not take it offense."

   Zhang Liao bowed his hands and said: "Where the words clash, General Ye Qing Haihan."

"I don't know that General Pingtao Houling is here, but he is willing to reconcile with our army?" Ma Teng asked. Although Pang De and Hua Xiong were tied today, they were only tied with Hua Xiong, not to mention Lu Bu. Before he made a move, Zhang Liao in front of him was probably no worse than Hua Xiong.

As for Ma Teng's subordinates, except for Pang De, only Ma Chao can compete with these strong generals. However, Ma Chao has never had any rivals in this Qiang land, and he has developed a habit of arrogance and complacency. A really powerful character, he only knows how to be brave and ruthless on weekdays. Ma Chao, who is not familiar with the art of war, suddenly has a disadvantage. If he really starts, Zhang Liao may not necessarily be stronger than Ma Chao, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, Ma Chao is now When his impatient personality meets a calm and sophisticated person like Zhang Liao, he will probably not end well.

   Not to mention, behind the two, there is a Lu Bu who is very powerful, but he must be very powerful, so if he can, Ma Teng does not want to continue this battle, but this is obviously not what he says not to fight.

"My lord sent someone to Jincheng yesterday to discuss the matter of reconciliation. Liao came here today to discuss with the general. If the general is sincere, my lord will control Xiliang and the Silk Road. As for the interests of the Silk Road, General Don't worry, but every year there must be a general, what does the general think?" After Zhang Liao and Ma Teng sat down with the guest and host, he watched Ma Teng straight to the point.

Ma Teng was silent when he heard the words. The benefits of the Silk Road are not only the money it can bring on the surface, but more importantly, the Silk Road is in hand. He can use this to connect with the Guanzhong and Bingzhou aristocrats. Things are not as simple as money, food, and grass, but if the Silk Road is handed over, although Lu Bu promised a lot of benefits, but the initiative in this is in Lu Bu's hands. Teng will not even have the ability to resist. This is the core of the problem, but it is also the most difficult to say.

"I can promise Marquis Pingtao to jointly manage this Western Liang, and I would like to be loyal to Marquis Pingtao forever, but it is impossible for me to give up Western Liang." Ma Teng shook his head, he could make concessions, but he could not let him do everything no.

"General Ma, although we are military generals in Bingzhou, whether it is my lord or the last general, the one I admire most is the former general Fubo Ma Yuan. My lord also really wants to accept General Ma, but General Ma wants to avoid war. But you have to take the initiative to think with me, it really makes me too disappointed, there is no wind in the past." Zhang Liao stood up and shook his head regretfully: "It's not as good as General Han, General Ma is good. Think about it, the last will be the first to retire."

  Han Sui?

  Ma Teng got up quickly and stopped Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, dare to ask General Han how he answered?"

Zhang Liao seemed to have missed his mouth, and looked at Ma Teng with a guilty conscience: "The last general has never said about General Han, if the general has figured it out, he can send someone to come to make peace. Although my lord does not want to fight with the general, but If the general insists on going his own way, my lord can only do it himself."

   After he finished speaking, he ignored Ma Teng's question, got up and left. After Ma Teng asked several times, Zhang Liao ignored it and left the Ma Teng camp.

   "My lord, why don't you stop him?" A general was a little resentful when he saw Zhang Liao's appearance.

   "No need!" Ma Teng shook his head: "The two countries will not fight against each other, but I don't know what conditions Han Sui agreed to Lu Bu?"

  Pang De looked at Jincheng's direction and said, "My lord, why don't you ask Han Sui to ask?"

   "Alright, send someone to tell Han Sui that I want to be with him outside the city for a while." Ma Teng nodded.

   "Here!" Pang De nodded, and immediately arranged for someone to go to Jincheng to invite Han Sui, while Ma Teng brought his personal guards and went straight to the open space between Jincheng and his camp to wait.

   On the other side, Han Sui was a little puzzled after getting the news: "What is Ma Teng looking for from me?"

   "Could it be because the Lord sent Brother Cheng to the Lv Bu camp?" Cheng Yin thought about it beside Ma Teng.

   "Perhaps." Han Sui nodded, the possibility was indeed very high, and immediately said, "Prepare the horse and prepare to leave the city."

   "My lord, Ma Teng is also a brave man with inappropriate courage. According to the last general's opinion, it is better to bring more personal guards to be safe." Cheng Yin advised.

  Han Sui thought about it for a while, and there was some truth to it. He nodded immediately and doubled the number of personal guards before he went out of the city to meet Ma Teng.

   "What do you mean by Wen Yue?" Outside the city of Jincheng, Ma Teng looked at the guards Han Sui had brought with him.

"Lü Bu has a tiger's eye on the side, you and I meet each other, if you don't bring some people and horses, in case Lü Bu comes with a light cavalry to charge forward, you and I will not rest, Shoucheng brother, although you have the courage to be inappropriate, you shouldn't be like this. Sloppy, if the enemy takes advantage of it, wouldn't it mean that the relatives will hurt the enemy quickly?" Han Sui looked at the personal guard beside Ma Teng, and said with a speechless face.

   "Isn't this exactly what Wen Yue wanted?" Ma Teng sneered.

   "Why did the elder brother say this? The younger brother has always regarded the elder brother as a dear friend and relative. If the elder brother said this, where is the friendship between you and me?" Han Sui frowned.

"You and I have known each other for many years. If you tell others about these words that you don't believe in yourself, don't disgust me." Ma Teng gave him a disgusting look and said, "Let me ask you, yesterday that Lu Bu sent an envoy to find you. , what conditions did you promise him?"

  “?”

  Han Sui looked at Ma Teng and shook his head after a while: "Lü Bu did send an envoy to come here yesterday, but the envoy only told me to surrender, but didn't say anything else. Why does my brother ask such a question?"

  Thinking of the messenger yesterday, Han Sui still can't figure it out.

  Ma Teng watched Han Sui's expression change carefully, before sighing for a long time: "Han Wenyue, I have heard the name of the Nine Songs of the Yellow River for a long time, and it is only today that the Japanese general truly understands what the Nine Songs of the Yellow River are."

   Ma Teng asked himself that he had read countless people in his life, and if others lied in front of him, he would definitely be able to see the flaws, but Han Sui's performance was such that he couldn't find the slightest fault.

   "Brother Shoucheng, what do you mean?" Han Sui frowned, feeling that something was wrong, as if he had been tricked.

At this moment, a general in the distance rushed from the direction of Lu Bu's camp, and when they saw Han Sui and Ma Teng confronting each other, the other party shouted, "General Han, my lord has already agreed to make a step back, and now is the time to start. !"

   After saying that, the arrow went straight to Ma Teng.

  Ma Teng hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, then raised his long lance and roared: "Han Wenyue, you really are despicable!"

   As he spoke, he had already stabbed out and took Han Sui directly.

  Han Sui hurriedly avoided, and the guards around him also rushed up.

On the other side~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhang Liao smiled when he saw this. He took a horn from the horse and brought it to his mouth. He puffed up his cheeks and blew it. In the distance at Lu Bu's camp, Zhang Liao had returned as early as Afterwards, the army of Lü Bu, who had already started preparations, quickly dispatched troops and went straight to Ma Teng's camp.

   "The general is a hero in the world, how can he use such despicable means!?" In the camp, Cheng Gongying was held down by two soldiers and looked at Lu Bu, who was on his horse, and said unwillingly.

   "Let him go, it's useless!" Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Hero? Bu was never, thank Han Sui for me! Let's go!"

On the other side, when Ma Teng saw Zhang Liao ringing his horn, he felt that something was wrong and wanted to withdraw, but the two sides were already fighting, and they couldn't be separated from each other. people.

   Zhang Liao laughed and said: "General Han, stop him, you will be the first in this battle!"

Han Sui had already noticed that something was wrong. Seeing that Ma Teng was no longer rushing towards him, he backed away and shouted: "Remove, let them go, Brother Shoucheng, whether you believe it or not, today's matter is that Lu Bu's envoy. Count, you and I are all caught up!"

Ma Teng could no longer manage so much. He turned his horse's head and left when he lowered his head. Zhang Liao drew his bow and arrow, and brought his own guards to kill him. Looking at Ma Teng, he said, "General Ma stay behind! My lord asked the last general to invite the general back. camp!"
