Chapter 289: Lao Ma's son has a bad temper

Ma'er is the nickname given to Ma Chao by everyone.

It seems that he looks down on Ma Chao because he is young and has little experience.

"If Cao Cao's army arrives at this time."

"We're fighting hard in the front, and he's stealing our asses from behind!"

"That would be the end of it!"

"The old general may not be afraid of him, but we are outnumbered and cannot afford to offend him!"

After these words were spoken, everyone nodded.

This is indeed a difficult problem.

Although both the Han and Ma families had family members sent to the court as hostages.

But the only person Han Sui had in Beijing was his son.

As for the Ma family, Ma Teng and his two sons were retained in the court.

Who knows whether Ma Chao can be so cruel.

Stand together with everyone and declare war on Cao Cao?
The worst thing is that I can’t discuss this matter directly with Ma Chao.

If he disagrees, our plan might be leaked before it even starts!
If that kid sent a letter to Xudu.

They haven't even taken any action yet, but they've already been charged with treason!
Besides, there has always been some conflicts between the Han and Ma families.

When the imperial court was still in Chang'an.

The court appointed Han Sui as General Zhenxi and Ma Teng as General Zhengxi.

The two of them simply became sworn brothers.

Later, because of conflicting interests, the two broke up again.

His subordinates also began to attack each other.

The two heroes of Liangzhou fought each other fiercely.

Han Sui even killed Ma Teng's ex-wife.

Later, the imperial court intervened.

The Inspector of the Imperial Capital, Zhong Yao, and the Governor of Liang Province, Wei Duan, came to mediate.

This is how we can turn hostility into friendship.

However, the two families are now on good terms with each other on the surface.

But in private, they have been competing secretly.

Thinking of this, Cheng Gongying was speechless, and everyone else fell silent as well.

Han Sui sat behind the desk with an expressionless face.

Even Yang Qiu, whose status was second only to Han Sui.

He also drank one cup after another.

The meeting once again fell into embarrassment.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Then the tent curtain was lifted.

I saw two people rushing in, fighting.

One is just an ordinary gatekeeper soldier.

The other figure stunned everyone!

The man looked to be about thirty years old.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also strong and sturdy.

He wore a lion helmet with a garland on his head and a silver armor belt on his body.

He also held a sharp sword in his hand.

It was Ma Chao that everyone was talking about just now!

And at that moment everyone in the tent was surprised.

There was a flash of sword in Ma Chao's hand, and the soldier holding the halberd was stabbed to the ground.

The person closest to the tent entrance was Han Sui's general Jiang Shi.

Seeing this scene, he immediately stood up and tried to stop Ma Chao.

But before he could draw his sword, he was kicked hard in the chest by the opponent.

Han Sui's men were kicked and tumbled.

The cups, plates and bowls on the table were scattered all over the floor.

The others were also furious and wanted to step forward.

Ma Chao raised his bloodstained sword and shouted:

"Stop! I have something to say. Who dares to stop me?"

"You will die by this sword!"

Ma Chao's bravery was one of the best in Xiliang.

Everyone present was armed, but no one was faster than him.

If I had drawn my sword to resist, I would have been dead long ago.

So at this moment even Jiang Shi was lying on the ground, not daring to move.

Then there was chaos outside the tent.

Han Sui's soldiers were confronting the dozen or so personal soldiers brought by Ma Chao.

Neither side dared to take action first, and the situation was at a stalemate both inside and outside.

Ma Chao also glanced at everyone coldly.

Finally, his eyes fell on Han Sui:
"General Han is really in a refined mood."

"I invited everyone to drink and have fun, how come I didn't know about this?"

Han Sui forced a smile upon hearing this.

"My dear nephew, you are joking. It's just a bowl of wine."

"Why make such a fuss?" He said and waved his hand outside the tent.

Let those surrounding soldiers disperse immediately.

Move the body of the unfortunate guard away.

But Ma Chao's men did not disperse.

Ma Chao himself approached step by step with a sharp sword in hand.

His eyes were fixed on Han Sui.

When the generals saw this scene, they all broke out in a sweat.

Han Sui said calmly:

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to kill an old man like me."

"You dare to break into my camp with such a small number of troops."

"Even if he kills me, can he get out alive?"

"Besides, everyone is here."

"Killing me is a small matter, but it would offend the tribes in Liangzhou."

"Does he still want to gain a foothold in Liangzhou?"

Han Sui’s words made sense, and Ma Chao really didn’t dare to touch Han Sui.

If only there were a little thing wrong with what happened today.

He would immediately become everyone's target.

Following Zhang Meng's old path.

So he was staring at Han Sui at this time and slowly put his sword back into the sheath.

He nodded and said:

"The old general is right. I am not here to make enemies today."

"But if you're not convinced, why not try again!"

This time it was Han Sui's turn to be speechless.

At this moment, I just felt that Lao Ma’s son had a really bad temper!

But then I heard Ma Chao laugh and say:
"Now my father is one of the nine ministers in the court."

"Killing me is tantamount to offending the imperial court and openly rebelling!"

"I don't dare to touch the old general, but I believe the old general won't dare to harm me either, right?"

Han Sui smiled and said:

"My dear nephew, why bother using knives and guns?"

"Since you're here, sit down and have a drink."

As Han Sui spoke, he also placed an empty bowl on the table.

Yang Qiu was very smart and helped fill the glass of wine.

Seeing this, Ma Chao did not hesitate to sit down next to Han Sui at the desk.

Then he smiled as if it was a matter of course:
"Both the Ma and Han families are here today."

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

But I still don't know Ma Chao's intention.

No one dared to say anything at this time, they just poured wine:

"Let me toast to General Ma..."

Ma Chao's face changed when he heard this!
"Don't try to be so pretentious!"

After saying that, he slammed the table, which scared everyone.

But Ma Chao said with great sorrow:

"My father wrote three letters in a row, saying that Cao Cao had ordered Zhong Yao to prepare food and military supplies."

"The Minister of the Chancellery Xun Yu tried to dissuade him many times but it was useless."

"I don't know when the troops will be dispatched!"

"This attack on Zhang Lu is fake, the real purpose is to seize our military power and territory!"

"Everyone is already in danger, and you still have the mood to beat around the bush here?"

"General Ma is right!" Yang Qiu's mind raced at this moment.

He also let go of his posture and said:
"Let's be frank and not beat around the bush. Let's just be straightforward."

"I just want to ask General Ma, are you willing to do it?"

"Fuck!" Ma Chao blurted out.

But Han Sui slowly put down his wine glass and said in a low voice:

"Don't be impulsive, nephew. Don't forget that your father and brother are still in Xudu."

"If you join us in this corruption."

"Then Cao Cao will not show mercy."

These words were somewhat mocking to Ma Chao.

But it’s also what everyone wants to say.

After all, with a powerful enemy at the doorstep, no one could be sure whether what Ma Chao said was true or false.

For a moment, all eyes were fixed on him.

But Ma Chao said nonchalantly:

"There are people in my family who are held hostage in the imperial court, and it's not just me!"

"Don't the generals in Xiliang have it too?"

"Wasn't the old general's son also sent to Xudu?"

"If you dare to do it, what can I not do?!"
