Cao Thief

Chapter 442 Chaos (12) [-]
Ma Lun stood up, took two steps, cupped his hands and said, "Master Dou, what do you say?"

Dou Lan glanced at Ma Lun, nodded, and then stood up.

But the moment Dou Lan got up, Cao Peng's eyes quietly narrowed.The arms were lowered, the muscles in the sleeves trembled very regularly, and an iron meteor slipped silently from the sleeves, and was falling into the palm of his hand.

When meeting an alliance, there are rigid regulations on the weapons worn by the participants.

No long weapons are allowed, and everyone only needs to wear short weapons.And the length of this short soldier also has a certain limit.If it exceeds three feet, it cannot be brought into the venue.Therefore, many people only have a short knife on their bodies.

Just in case, Cao Peng took four iron meteors and hid them in his sleeves.

One hand caught the iron meteor, and the other hand quietly placed it on the handle of the short knife beside him.

At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by Dou Lan, even including Dou Hu, they didn't notice Cao Peng's action.

Dou Lan stared at Ma Chao, and said in a deep voice, "I've heard of the name Cao Sikong.

As for whether he is as arrogant and domineering as the eldest son said, with evil intentions?Something is unknown.However, the eldest son...

Hehe, I have something to ask, and I would like to ask the eldest son to clarify my doubts. "

Ma Chao's heart trembled, he didn't say anything, he just nodded...

Dou Landao: "Master Liang and Hongze have been friends for more than ten years, and women and children in the Hexi area know it. Since the eldest son is only thinking about Hongze, why is he discussing with Hongze while secretly colluding with Master Liang to attack Geng Geng secretly?" Home Muyuan?"

An adult from the tribe suddenly raised his head and looked at Dou Lan in astonishment.

"Brother Dou, Liang Yuanbi attacked my Muyuan?"

"Last night, Xiu Tu each had [-] soldiers and horses, stayed overnight with his good brother Mu Yuan, and suddenly launched an attack."

Master Geng stood up, "Really?"

"It's true."

"Liang Yuanbi..."

Master Geng was furious, pointed at Liang Yuanbi, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.It's no wonder that Mr. Geng looks so good, all his Geng family's pastures are located next to the pastures where everyone in Xiutu lived.Back then, Dou Lan was also hesitant about taking Liang Yuanbi in.Although the relationship between the two was good, he couldn't trust Qiang Hu Xiongnu's character too much.It was Mr. Geng who strongly agreed with it at the time, and finally made the matter pass.

The reason is very simple!
Mr. Geng's tribe is not too big, among the 36 tribes, it belongs to the lower middle.

If he wants to gain a greater voice in Hongze, he must have enough strength.However, the 36 tribes seem to be one, and they are wary of each other.This also made Mr. Geng worry all the time.Knowing that everyone in Xiutu was coming, he immediately saw the benefits.Tu Gehu Qi is a rare sharp soldier in Liangzhou.Although he was hit by the Qiang Hu, he is not as good as before, after all, his strength still exists.If he forms an alliance with Tu Ge Hu Qi, Lord Geng's strength will definitely be improved.In fact, after everyone settled down in Xiutu, Lord Geng's status in the 36 tribes has indeed been improved.Therefore, Lord Geng never expected that everyone in Xiutu would attack him.

Liang Yuanbi was expressionless.

And Ma Chao showed a sneer...

The loss of Mr. Geng's pasture means that the northwest gate of Hongze is open.

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

Master Geng pointed at Liang Yuanbi, cursed viciously, and turned his head to leave.

Dou Lan said: "My dear brother, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm rushing back..."

"Brother Xian, what's the point of going back now?"

"But……"

Dou Lan smiled, "My dear brother, take your seat first.

We can take it easy on this matter.And, don't you find that there is one less person here today? "

"Who?"

Mr. Geng glanced at the big tent, but didn't see any clues.

But Dou Lan turned her head, looked at Liang Yuanbi and said, "Liang Yuanbi, what do you want to say?"

Liang Yuanbi raised her face, showing no sign of remorse.He just smiled indifferently, and said to Dou Lan: "Brother Dou, since you have talked about this, then Xiao Wang doesn't need to hide it. Now the Geng family's pasture has been lost, and Hongze has no danger to defend. And I, Brother Three Thousand Tu, ride a fine horse They are ready to go, and it only takes one day for the soldiers to come to the city... To the west of the Xiutu pastures, there are still [-] cavalry stationed. If you don't know the current affairs, brother, it will be the time when the red lake will be dyed red."

In the big tent, there was an unspeakable silence.

After a while, Ma Lun cursed, "Ma Mengqi, is this the kindness of your Ma family?"

Ma Chao smiled, "I don't want Hongze to suffer from war, but if General Dou is ignorant of current affairs, Meng Qi will have no choice but to offend him. Meng Qi has already expressed enough sincerity today. But I don't know how General Dou will answer." I?"

Dou Lan looked at Ma Chao, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"I've known for a long time that your Ma family is the biggest disaster in Xiliang.

Ma Chao, do you think you have the chance to win?But I might as well tell you that Hongze would rather submit to the imperial court than collude with you and others.Cooperating with the imperial court, Hongze is still the master of Hongze even though it is attached.But if you cooperate with your Ma family, you will end up with nothing left.Brother Geng, don't worry, your Muyuan is still there. "

"what?"

Liang Yuanbi laughed, "Brother Dou, do you think old Geng Muyuan's hundreds of soldiers can stop my two thousand elite cavalry?"

"Old Geng's men may not be able to do it, but Li Qi's troops are enough."

"Li Qi?"

Dou Lan sneered, "When did you meet, will Uncle Li show up for such an important alliance?"

Master Geng finally came to his senses, and walked in front of Dou Lan in three steps at a time, and grabbed Dou Lan's arm, "Brother Dou, are you serious?"

"Suo Eqing died outside my residence, so I ordered someone to secretly contact Li Qi that night, and ordered him to lead his troops to rescue your Muyuan.

Although I didn't know at the time that Liang Yuanbi would attack your Muyuan, I had to be cautious.If your pasture is lost, Hongze will have no danger to defend.At that time, Ma Teng will be able to drive straight in, and I, Hongze, will also...

Eldest son, you say that those who know current affairs are heroes.

Dou Lan is not talented, but she is a determined person.You said Cao Sikong was a traitor, but I didn't see anything.But I know that your father and son have long coveted my Hongze.That's right, the ancestors ordered me to serve the imperial court.But the ancestors did not say whether it was the court of the Liu family or the court of the Cao family.It doesn't matter who we serve, what matters is that this imperial court is worthy of our service.In Dou's view, your Ma family's imperial court is not worthy of my service from Hongze.Therefore, I do not agree to cooperate with the Ma family. If Bei Zhonglang will send someone, I, Hongze, can discuss with him.

Gentlemen, what do you say? "

In the large tent, there was complete silence.

Everyone knows that this is a critical period that determines the future of Hongze.

When Dou Lan expressed his thoughts, no one was willing to stand up and take a stand.Even Mr. Geng showed hesitation.

Three thousand butchers, each with horses, and eight thousand horse troops.

If you really want to tear your face apart, Hongze will inevitably face the situation of losing his life.

What will be the attitude of that Beizhong Lang named Cao Peng?It is still unknown.But if he really turns against the Ma family, can Hongze stop the Ma family's iron cavalry?This had to make everyone think deeply, so that no one stood up to respond.

"Nephew, what do you say?"

Li Ding got up and cupped his hands, "My nephew will go forward and retreat with General Dou as before. General Dou's decision is also the decision of my four thousand members of the Li family. My nephew does not agree to cooperate with the Ma family, that's how it is."

"A certain person also disagrees with Ma Shi."

Master Geng no longer hesitated, and expressed his position.

As Dou Lan said, the people of Hongze were at least the masters of Hongze when they belonged to the imperial court.Even if it is no longer as free as before, it can still guarantee its own interests.But if it belongs to the Ma family, the result in the end is unimaginable.

Ma Lun jerked out his dagger, pointed at Ma Chao and cursed: "A certain family and you are not in harmony."

"Yes, I swear no two sides!"

"So what about the Ma family? Weren't we Wuwei horse thieves back then? Although we are not talented, we will never bow down to a group of horse thieves."

"..."

Ma Chao's face suddenly turned livid.

I saw him holding the table with both hands and standing up.

"Since you are ignorant of current affairs, wash your necks and wait to die."

"It's not certain who will die, Ma Mengqi, since you're here, don't even think about leaving."

Mullen shouted loudly, and was about to step forward with the knife.

But Ma Chao was unafraid, and said with a sneer, "Ma Lun, do you want to test the strength of my sword?"

"Master Ma, stop."

Dou Lan stepped forward and stopped Mu Lun.

"There is a saying that when two countries fight each other, don't behead envoys.

Since the eldest son came here today by order, I will not make things difficult for you.Go back and tell Ma Teng that I am from Hongze, and I will never bow to him. "

Cao Peng frowned, cursing secretly in his heart.

The two shitty countries are fighting each other without killing each other, and they have come to this field. Why are you still sticking to the rules?How could Ma Chao let go so easily?Killing him is like cutting off Ma Teng's arm... Letting Ma Chao go today is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng took a step forward.

Dou Hu quickly grabbed Cao Peng, and said softly: "Brother, don't be impulsive... Ma Chao is very brave, if he strikes here, I'm afraid the casualties will be too great."

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

The name of Ma Chao's bravery is well-known in Liangzhou, and Dou Lan is also afraid.The space in the big tent is narrow, and there are so many people, it is inevitable that hands and feet will be tied up.If he made a move at this time, even if he killed Ma Chao, he would suffer heavy casualties.

It seems that Dou Lan is not confused...

"Young master, let's go!" Dou Lan said, "Next time we meet, you and I will be enemies rather than friends."

"In that case, Master Liang, let's go."

Holding the hilt of his sword in his hand, Ma Chao walked out of the big tent.

His departure attracted the attention of many people, even Cao Peng was subconsciously attracted by Ma Chao.

Hu Bai and Liang Yuanbi followed closely behind Ma Chao, and when they were about to walk out of the big tent, Hu Bai stopped suddenly...

"General Dou, take care."

Hubai cupped his hands, and said goodbye with a gentle salute.

Dou Lan smiled slightly, let go of Ma Lun, and returned the gift to Hu Bai.

"General Dou, be careful."

At the moment when Dou Lan returned the gift, Ma Lun suddenly showed a sinister smile, turned around suddenly, and stabbed fiercely at Dou Lan's chest with the short knife in his hand...
