Ma Teng's movements were extremely fast. The day after Jia Xu received the letter, a group of cavalry from Xiliang had already appeared outside Tianshui City.

Said directly: "General Lu, I am ordered by the lord to come here to tell you that the grievance between Bingzhou Army and General Han is a misunderstanding. We are willing to give you some compensation, but you must withdraw from Tianshui immediately. From now on, don't violate our Xiliang border!"

The arrogant tone showed the emissary's strong self-confidence. Now that Xiliang's [-] troops are gathered in Jincheng, Ma Teng is even more willing to call more Qianghu cavalry. This is where the Ma family's confidence lies.

After hearing what the envoy said, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were furious, and suddenly stood up, intending to kill the arrogant envoy on the spot.

The envoy was startled, and hurriedly looked at Lu Yi and said, "General Lu, you have to think carefully, the consequences of fighting with us in Xiliang are definitely more serious than you imagined!"

"This is your last words?" Lu Yi sneered and clapped his hands, ordering his personal guards to catch the envoy and drag him out to kill him.

The envoy was really dumbfounded at this moment. Originally, he thought that Ma Teng had become the leader of the alliance, and there were so many soldiers and horses, and the Bingzhou army would have to be more cautious. Who knew that Lu Yi would not accept such a thing at all, so he ordered to be dragged out and killed.This was too terrifying, the emissary's face turned pale from fright in an instant, and he knelt down and kowtowed with a plop.

"General Lu, please spare me, the villain deserves to die, the villain is stupid, please show me your hand, I'm just a miscellaneous soldier doing business, I'm not worth killing!"

The envoy is crying bitterly now. He thought that Ma Teng's strength would increase greatly, and he would be powerful, but who knew that when he met the Bingzhou Army, he didn't become majestic, but hit the iron plate all at once. [

At this time, the envoy was full of remorse, and rolled around on the ground, just to prevent the guards from dragging him out!

Lu Yi looked really shameless, his face darkened, and he shouted: "Shut up, general!" But he still waved his hand and told the guards to retreat.

As expected, the envoy didn't dare to speak anymore, he was relieved when he saw the guard retreating, and looked at Lu Yi again, he was dejected and indescribably aggrieved.

Lu Yi didn't bother to talk nonsense to the messenger, so he asked directly, "Do you want to die or live?"

"The villain is willing to live!" Whoever wants to die if he can live is not an idiot who can be sent as an envoy, so he quickly replied.

Lu Yi nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "In this case, please tell me the situation in Ma Teng's army in detail!" Although there is a description from Jia Xu's tribe, many things are not clear whether they are in Ma Teng's army.He was having a headache, but Ma Teng sent an envoy over, so he must make good use of it.

The envoy in front of him was not a virtuous person. Under the threat of death, he honestly told the situation in the army, including the strength of the army, the generals, and the Qiang and Hu troops.

It's just that the messenger's knowledge was limited, and what he said were all general things.This made Lu Yi very happy, it was much more convenient than sending people to Jincheng to inquire.

As for whether the envoy had any reservations, Lu Yi didn't pursue it. He just wanted to know from the envoy the specific status of the coalition generals who were attached to Ma Teng.

After asking again, seeing that there was nothing special to ask, Lu Yicai waved his hand and asked the guards to beat the emissary out with sticks, which also showed his attitude of rejecting Ma Teng.

The emissary who had been beaten up went back to Jincheng in a rage.

In the barracks, Lu Yi laughed out loud, and finally let out the anger in his mouth, and revealed the specific status of the generals in Guanzhong in Ma Teng's army.

Among them, Han Suicheng, Gongying and Ying, became Ma Teng's nominal military advisers. Although they were both talented, Lu Yi expected that Ma Teng would not dare to reuse them in a short time.

Only Yan Xing, who was in charge of leading thousands of cavalry, fell under Ma Chao's command, but the two of them had an enmity, and Yan Xing was Han Sui's former subordinate, so life under Ma Chao's command must have been difficult.

The other candidates, Li Kan, had only a few hundred soldiers around them. Although they still had the title of general, Ma Teng's attitude towards them was also different from that of ordinary generals, and he completely lost the chance to stand up. [

Only Ma Wan Cheng Yin, who still has some soldiers and horses in his hands, and is close to Ma Teng, can barely maintain a semi-independent state.

This is what Lu Yi knows so far, the general information about Ma Teng's army, after sorting out his thoughts a bit, Lu Yi turned his head and asked Jia Xu, "Wen He, among these few people, who do you think is the most suitable for us?"

"Yan Xing!"

Jia Xu didn't even think about it, but said with certainty.Then he explained: "Yan Xing is a man of filial piety. In Tianshui City, his old father was captured by us, and Yan Xing must be worried! My lord, let old father Yan Xing write a safe envelope and send it to Jincheng. Peace of mind!"

"It's just like that?" Lu Yi smacked his lips, feeling something was wrong. Didn't he want to drive Yan Xing apart? He just sent a letter of safety, which is too casual.

"Do you need to solicit Yan Xing in the letter?" Lu Yi asked again after thinking about it.

Fazheng chuckled, and hurriedly stopped Lu Yi and said, "My lord, I think I understand Junshi Jia's meaning! Sending a letter is just the first step! As for recruiting, it's not the time yet!"

Jia Xu also nodded with a smile, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said firmly: "Xiao Zhi is right, now is not the time for the lord to recruit Yan Xing, but the old man believes that once Han Sui learns that Yan Xing is still alive At that time, there is no need for the lord to recruit Yan Xing, and Yan Xing will definitely harbor resentment towards Han Sui. At that time, it is the best time for the lord to plot against this person!"

Looking around, he saw that there was no objection; Lu Yi had officially confirmed the candidate for divorce, and sent someone to Yan Xing's home in the city to ask Yan Xing's old father, wife and children to write a letter to report safety.

Deeply trapped, the members of the Yan family were respectful and obedient, fearing that they would offend Lu Yi and lead to death, so they could only honestly write a letter of peace to describe the current situation.

Then Lu Yi sent fine people to Jincheng day and night to secretly deliver a letter to Yan Xing. Since the emissary was driven away, Ma Teng was furious, but he did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he reorganized the coalition soldiers wantonly , First, to unify orders, and second, it is also convenient for annexation in the future.

Ma Teng didn't attack, and Lu Yi didn't bother to take the initiative to attack. He just ordered someone to send a letter to Hanzhong, urging the craftsmen to speed up the progress and make ballistas!

The Ma family has a large number of cavalry, with the help of the Qiang Hu cavalry, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry can be rampant in the Central Plains, and they are also greatly suppressed when they reach Xiliang.

In this way, after three days, neither side has any intention of sending troops. Ma Teng is waiting, and Lu Yi is also waiting!And during this time, the spies sent by Lu Yi had already successfully infiltrated into the Golden City, and came to Yan Xing's barracks to deliver the letter.

Yan Xing was at a time when he was depressed. In the battle of Tianshui, Han Sui saw that the situation was not right, so he retreated decisively, even abandoning his family, which was extremely cruel.

This was a pain for Yan Xing, and as a last resort, he had no choice but to abandon his family and flee to Xiping.Just yesterday, the spies who sneaked into Tianshui brought a shocking news. Han Sui's two sons were all killed, and even Han Sui's new concubine was taken by Cheng Yi.

Although there was no news about what happened to Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying's family members, Yan Xing still felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, thinking that his family members were also in danger, and they were drunk in the army for several days in a row.

On this day, Yan Xing was drinking again in the camp, hoping to forget the grief of losing a loved one and the trouble of being suppressed by Ma Chao, but at this moment, a guard walked in cautiously.

Before he had time to speak, Yan Xing raised his head furiously, staring at his blood-red eyes and shouting: "Get out of here, I didn't give orders from the general, no one is allowed to approach without orders?"

"This subordinate should be damned! But General, someone delivered a letter outside the door, saying it was from the General's home!" This person is Yan Xing's confidant, and he would not have come to touch his brows, but only when he found out that it was a letter from Yan Xing's family, his personal guards took the risk. Dead ran to inform.

"From home?"

After murmuring something, Yan Xing suddenly rushed to the guards, grabbed the letter, opened it, and saw that it was written by his old father. Tell Yan Xing not to miss Yun Yun.

Yan Xing watched with tears in his eyes, and it took him a long time to reply. Then he stared fiercely at the guard next to him, and said coldly: "Send orders, anyone who knows about this matter, shut up! Who dares to reveal half a word, Hugh! The blame book will be hot!"

"only!"

The guard trembled in fright, responded indiscriminately, and hurried out to give orders.

What Yan Xing didn't know was that just after the spies of the Bingzhou Army delivered the letter, they changed into disguised as a soldier in Yan Xingying's camp, and secretly ran to inform Han Sui.

Losing his second son and being killed by Han De and Yang Qiu, Han Sui was also inexplicably sad these days, and remembering that his power was annexed by Ma Teng, Han Sui was really angry and hated, so he could only hold on to the existing military power and work hard. Don't let Ma Teng annex it.Regarding General Yan Xing, Han Sui became even more nervous.

Han Sui was shocked when he heard that a sergeant of Yan Xingjun came to inform him. After hearing the content of the informant, Han Sui almost died of shock!

"Yan Xing's family members are all right? How could they be all right? Why don't they die! Only after they die!" Han Sui was shocked and furious, but he still didn't fully believe what the informer said, but got up immediately, in the name of condolences , went to visit Yan Xing.

Hearing that Han Sui was coming, Yan Xing hurried out to greet him and asked, "Master, why are you here?"

Han Sui's face was full of sadness, he held Yan Xing's arm outside the gate, and cried, "I heard recently that your little one was murdered by the Bingzhou army in Tianshui. I feel so guilty, and I'm here to apologize to you!"

Yan Xing's complexion changed, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "What are you talking about, my lord! Since I am a subordinate of my lord, I will swear to follow my lord to the death! I only hate that Lu thief, and one day, this revenge will be repaid!"

"Really?" Han Sui narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. After all, Yan Xing was a general, and he didn't think deeply, so Han Sui immediately saw something was wrong.

Hearing the old father's death, although Yan Xing's face was full of sadness, he didn't even shed any tears, which was very different from yesterday's crying to death!

Thinking this way in his heart, on the surface, Han Sui remained calm and even believed that Yan Xing's family was not killed. His eyes turned cold for a moment, and then became more gentle. After entering Yan Xing's tent, he suddenly asked: "General Yan. What do you think of old men and young girls?"

Han Sui had two sons and a daughter, the two sons lived in Tianshui, and the youngest daughter was thirteen years old, but she stayed in the root of Xiping for protection, so she was saved from disaster.

Yan Xing didn't expect Han Sui to mention this matter suddenly, and looked at Han Sui in surprise, his face full of doubts.

Han Sui laughed loudly, patted Yan Xing on the shoulder and said, "General Yan, you have lived and died for this old man. We are called monarchs and ministers, and we are actually father and son! This old man intends to recruit you as his son-in-law. After I die, I will inherit my inheritance." .I don't know what you want?"
