Han Sui knew that Ma Teng wanted to use Ma Yunlu to marry him, so he deliberately spared Ma Yunlu's life and let her go back.
This means, "Go ahead and make a marriage, even if you make a marriage with Zhang Lu, you will no longer be my opponent from now on", which is really extremely humiliating!
Ma Teng seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, and his hair changed from gray to gray overnight.
The feud of killing his wife and family is irreconcilable, but after Ma Teng experienced a big defeat, he no longer has the ability to contend with Han Sui.
After losing the battle, Ma Teng had to temporarily retreat to Hanyang County despite being unwilling in every possible way.
But Han Sui took the opportunity to drive straight in, led his army to take Gaoping County, and then went to Linjing.Yang Qiu was powerless to resist, retreated steadily, and finally was trapped in Linjing City. In desperation, he had no choice but to open the city and surrender.
At this point, Han Suiquan took Anding County, finally broke the blockade of Ma Teng and Yang Qiu, and showed his ferocious fangs towards Guanzhong.
Chapter 429 The Ma Family's Only Hope
Hanyang County, in Pingxiang City.
Almost overnight, Ma Yunlu lost her loving mother and the sisters who played and played together on weekdays, and her heart seemed to die along with it.
Ma Dai, who has always loved Ma Yunlu very much, although his heart is also occupied by great grief, he has to make himself stronger.After the battle is over, he will endure exhaustion and pain, and come to visit and comfort Ma Yunlu.
After Ma Chao left, the brothers of the Ma family belonged to Ma Dai who was the most capable.
In the past, Ma Chao was in front of him to shield him from the wind and rain, and Ma Dai didn't feel any pressure; now that Ma Chao is far away in the Central Plains, Ma Dai has to shoulder many family affairs by himself.
Ma Yunlu sat beside his bed with blank eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
Ma Dai, who had been standing by for a long time, finally couldn't help but yelled tentatively: "Yunlu... Uncle Ma said you haven't eaten for two days...you will starve yourself to death .”
Ma Dai thought that Ma Yunlu would be as unresponsive as the previous two days, but he didn't expect a weak and hoarse voice to come from his ear, "Cousin, when are we going to avenge our mother?"
Ma Dai was stunned for a moment before he realized that Ma Yunlu was finally willing to speak!
Overjoyed, Ma Dai didn't care what Ma Yunlu said. He hurriedly came to Ma Yunlu and said, "You are finally willing to talk! Come on, let's eat something first!"
Ma Yunlu stretched out his hand and gently pushed away the rice bowl that Ma Dai brought in front of her. Her beautiful eyes, which used to be radiant and bright like stars, now only had hatred and anger, "Tell me, when will I avenge my mother? !"
It's not that Ma Dai doesn't want to answer this question, but the problem is that they don't have enough strength to avenge their family now!
Seeing Ma Dai's silence, tears flowed from Ma Yunlu's eyes, "Could it be, are you just watching mother die in vain?"
"Yunlu..." Ma Dai looked sad, "We can't wait to cut off Han Sui's head to pay homage to our aunt... But our army was attacked by Han Sui, and the [-] army is not enough to fight now [-] is simply more than enough energy.”
Ma Yunlu slowly rolled his eyes, staring at Ma Dai in a daze.
Looking at Ma Yunlu's thinning face, Ma Dai lowered his head in shame.
Ma Yunlu seemed to suddenly think of Ma Chao who was far away in the Central Plains, and couldn't help but muttered: "If there is a big brother, Han Sui will not be able to defeat us even with a hundred thousand troops..."
"Brother is here..." After hearing Ma Yunlu's murmur, Ma Dai seemed to have a flash of lightning in his mind!
"Brother!" Ma Dai stood up suddenly, and couldn't help shouting: "That's right, we still have Big Brother, and we also have General Shenweitian Ma Chao!"
Ma Yunlu was taken aback by Ma Dai's sudden movements and shouts. He stared at Ma Dai with anger in his eyes and said, "Why are you crazy!"
Ma Yunlu's voice pulled Ma Dai out of his thoughts, he looked at Ma Yunlu apologetically and said, "Fortunately, you reminded me, I think if my idea is feasible, maybe I can really avenge my aunt !"
"Really?" Ma Yunlu was still a little puzzled, "But the eldest brother didn't send a letter saying that although he had made a few meritorious deeds before, it was not enough to atone for his sins, and he is still raising horses in the army. Help us?"
In a moment of desperation, Ma Dai didn't know how to explain to Ma Yunlu, he just said: "The matter is not as simple as you think. Although the elder brother is only a groom, but now he has been valued by Lu Huqi. ..”
"?"
"..." Seeing Ma Yunlu's confused face, Ma Dai said, "I have to talk to my uncle, and I'll come see you later!"
After finishing speaking, Ma Dai left Ma Yunlu's room in a hurry, and before leaving, he did not forget to ask: "Yunlu, remember to eat!"
But Ma Dai, who left in a hurry, did not see that Ma Yunlu's confused expression had disappeared at some point, replaced by a stern expression, "After all, we can only rely on the elder brother..."
In fact, after the initial muddle, Ma Yunlu has gradually come to his senses.
Although sad and sad, she also thought a lot during this time.
Ma Teng was attacked by Han Sui, and more than half of the army was lost. She, Ma Yunlu, knew all these things.
When Zhang Lu learned that his younger brother was killed by Han Sui, he sent Yang Ren and Yang Ang to lead an army of [-] to unite with Ma Teng to deal with Han Sui. She, Ma Yunlu, also knew about it.
But the problem is, even if Zhang Lu and Ma Teng jointly attack, they are still defeated by Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing time and time again, and they haven't even seen Han Sui's face...
After thinking about it, the only hope of revenge now is Ma Chao who is far away in the Central Plains, so Ma Yunlu found an opportunity to remind Ma Dai a little.
As Ma Yunlu expected, Ma Dai immediately thought of more possibilities after receiving the prompt.
Ma Dai and Ma Teng hadn't thought about Ma Chao at all before. After all, in their minds, Ma Chao was going to the Central Plains to be a proton. How could they expect him to come back to help?
But because of Ma Chao's letter some time ago, Ma Dai felt that Ma Chao's situation might not be as dire as they imagined.
Anyway, now that Ma Teng, Zhang Lu and Han Sui are in a stalemate, and there is no other way, it is better to send someone to the Central Plains to look for Ma Chao, and complain to the court by the way, to see if they can get some support.
Ma Dai's proposal was finally agreed by Ma Teng.There is no way to break the situation, so let's just treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Just after Ma Teng sent an envoy to Xuchang, Ma Yunlu suddenly disappeared...
......
After Han Sui occupied Linjing, he continued to attack, and soon took the entire Anding County into his pocket.
Afterwards, Han Sui sent his most powerful generals, Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing, to deploy a defense line in the southwest to defend Ma Teng, while he personally led the army to launch an offensive against Beidi County.
After Zhang Lu learned that Ma Teng's family members and his younger brother who had gone to seek marriage had been killed, he was furious and sent [-] troops led by Yang Ren and Yang Ang to Hanyang County, intending to unite with Ma Teng to destroy Han Sui.
After getting Zhang Lu's support, Ma Teng and his son also raised troops again to seek revenge on Han Sui.
Ma Teng, Zhang Lu's coalition forces and Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing fought many times on the border of Anding County. The two sides came and went, and fell into a long-term tug of war.
No matter how they attack, Ma Teng and Zhang Lu's army will never be able to advance an inch. While the battle is at a stalemate, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Ma Teng and Zhang Lu.
Han Sui is still taking care of the defenders of Beidi County. When he frees up his hands, I'm afraid Ma Teng and Zhang Lu will suffer.
Ma Teng and Zhang Lu can't lose too quickly, otherwise Guo Jia's plan to mess up Xiliang will be completely ruined.
At that time, if there is another threat around Cao Cao, then when Cao Cao goes south to attack Jingzhou or Jiangdong, there may be another accident.
This Xiliang must not be unified, let alone ruled by Han Sui!
4 Chapter Thirty
In Anding County, in a hidden courtyard.
Zhan Meng and his team members gathered together, discussing how to deal with the current situation.
"Captain, this Han Sui is really despicable, he even made a fuss about Ma Teng's family..."
"That's all for making a fuss. The key is that he used up Ma Teng's family, and even killed them all... It's despicable and vicious to the extreme."
"I didn't finish killing, but I put one back... I just heard that the girl suffered a huge change, and now she has lost her soul... Poor, lamentable."
After the other people's quiet discussion ended, Zhan Meng said: "Although I expected Ma Teng to lose, I didn't expect him to lose so quickly and so thoroughly..."
Someone answered, "Even if we killed Zhang Wei and brought out Zhang Lu's [-] reinforcements, Ma Teng still couldn't beat Han Sui's two generals...It's really disappointing."
"In the past, Ma Teng's smooth success probably owed most of the credit to Han Sui. It was precisely because of Han Sui's behind-the-scenes advice for Ma Teng that the two of them were able to stand out from the many warlords in Xiliang."
The team members expressed their opinions one after another, and finally Zhan Meng concluded: "Most of Beidi County has fallen. If Han Sui occupies Beidi County and frees up his hands to clean up Ma Teng and Zhang Lu, I am afraid these two people will not be able to support them." how long."
"Captain, what should we do then?"
After pondering for a moment, Zhan Meng arranged: "Yi San, Yi Wu, you go and explain the situation to Captain Chang'an Sili and ask for help."
After Yisan and Yiwu got the task, they stood up and clasped their fists together and said, "Here!"
Zhan Meng looked at the remaining ten or so people again, with a slightly crazy smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "The rest of you will come with me, and we will wait for the opportunity to go to Beidi County to make trouble for Han Sui!"
The style of a team often has a lot to do with the leader of the team.
Zhan Meng looks gentle, and when he is quiet, he looks like a thin and harmless scholar.But once he moves, it will be like what his team members said, "Crazy!"
These people have been with Zhan Meng for several years, and they have become lunatics with Zhan Meng.
At this moment, Zhan Meng only wanted to use more than a dozen people to create trouble for Han Sui, whether he was a lunatic or something.
However, instead of being afraid, this group of people became excited and agitated. What is it if they are not a group of lunatics?
......
The war in Xiliang resumed, and the lives of the people were in dire straits.
While Ma Teng and other Xiliang warlords are having a hard time, Cao Cao also has a lot of troubles recently.
As far as the moment is concerned, it is Kong Rong who annoys Lao Cao the most.
When Kong Rong first joined Cao Cao a few years ago, he often wrote poems praising Cao Cao and singing praises to Cao Cao, which Cao Cao liked very much.
But after a long time, after Kong Rong sat in a high position, his thoughts and temperament gradually changed.
Kong Rong often associates wildly with celebrities from all over the world. Gradually, his already arrogant personality becomes more and more lonely, and he looks down on his colleagues around him, even Cao Cao, whom he admired in the past.
If you brag too much with those who like to brag, you will think that you have become a braggart too.
Kong Rong was conceited of his talents and nature, and determined to quell the crisis and help the Han Dynasty, but his own talents were mediocre and his thinking was empty, so he had no substantial achievements all the time.
When he was in court, Kong Rong often went his own way, talking and laughing.Moreover, every time he played in the court hall, it was some flashy and lofty theories; what he talked about with eloquence were all laws and regulations, classics and knowledge, not to say that they were useless to the country and the people, but they were basically useless. ..It's just a way for those speech officials to fool the emperor in peacetime.
The things he mentioned were not only unrealistic, but also added a lot of unnecessary trouble to the court.What's more, sometimes he would argue with other people at court meetings for a long time because of some insignificant etiquette systems and the like.
Especially when he saw Cao Cao, Kong Rong would go up and make noise non-stop, either talking about his empty and boring arguments or accusing Lao Cao of being wrong here and there; Yu also skipped work to drink and listen to the music... The noisy Cao Cao was so upset that he wanted to draw his sword and kill him...
But Cao Cao had already caused a lot of trouble when he killed the side before.
At the beginning, Chen Gong also took advantage of this to instigate most of the powerful families in Yanzhou, and almost sent Lao Cao away directly, so Cao Cao became more cautious later.
What's more, Kong Rong is the No. 20 grandson of Confucius. After becoming a saint, his reputation will only increase. Even Cao Cao can't touch him easily, so he can only avoid him as much as possible.
Recently, Kong Rong recommended Mi Heng to Cao Cao again and again, which made Cao Cao extremely annoyed.
Kong Rong came to Cao Cao to recommend Mi Heng and Ni Zhengping, who are his close friends and are known as "mad men".
Cao Cao has heard of Mi Heng's reputation, and it is said that he is full of knowledge at a young age, and is a rare talent in the world, but he is arrogant and not well received by others.
But this kind of guy who can only talk but can't do it, Cao Cao is not interested in it now, so Cao Cao directly refused.
However, Kong Rong just didn't give up, and even specially wrote "Recommend Mi Heng Biao", calling Mi Heng's praise a hype.
Cao Cao was forced to have no choice but to agree to meet this celebrity who was about to be blown into the sky, and the place was chosen in Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion in Xuchang.
But the problem is, Cao Cao agreed to summon Mi Heng, but Ni Heng felt that Cao Cao had despised him before, so he said that he was madly ill and should not be recruited.
He called Mi Heng several times and refused with various lame excuses. Although Lao Cao was angry, he felt that there was no need to argue with a madman, so he swallowed his anger and let it go.
In the next few days, Cao Cao thought that since he had already come to Xuchang, it would be better to call his own people to get together, catch up on the old days, and connect with each other.
Not only Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan and others who lived in Xuchang, but also Lu Yan, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others from Chenliu County were all invited to the prime minister's residence.
It is rare to have the opportunity to get together with old friends in the midst of busy schedules, so the atmosphere in the prime minister's mansion is naturally extremely warm.
However, when the wine was on the third tour, someone suddenly broke into the prime minister's mansion.
"You can't go in, you can't go in!" Several servants in the prime minister's mansion didn't stop the intruder.
The outsider broke in, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became quiet.
Cao Cao sat at the head of the top table, put down his wine glass in a leisurely manner, and looked at the "strange man" who dared to break into the prime minister's residence at night.
Lu Yan also looked up curiously, only to see that the person who came was nearly eight feet tall, looked to be in his twenties, had a square face, sharp brows and tiger eyes, but he had an awe-inspiring aura.It's just that he was wearing a tattered scholar's uniform, his hair was disheveled, fluffy like wormwood, and he looked extremely unkempt.
Cao Cao waved his hand and let the servants of the mansion go down.
He asked the intruder in a gentle tone, "Who is here?"
"The people in the mountains and fields may not be able to get into the eyes of the prime minister."
The man even picked it up.
Boss Cao was never used to this kind of person, so he said, "In that case, you can leave on your own, and I won't hold you accountable for your rudeness."
"Hehe." The man let out a heck of a smile, and then said: "I heard that Prime Minister Cao is very thirsty for talents, and only talents are recommended... I saw you today, but it's just mediocre."
"Presumptuous!" Finally someone couldn't help it anymore, stood up and pointed at the intruder and said, "The prime minister has a lot of talents, and all of you here are rare talents in the world, how can you slander them at will?"
The man raised his head, looked around deliberately, and asked suspiciously: "Prime Minister Cao, is there anyone else here? I seem to have heard someone talking just now!"
"???"
