The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 272

"This this……"

Hearing Ma Teng's envoy's words, Liu Xie showed panic and deep regret on his face. He never thought that the Xiliang army would make such a request when they arrived in Chang'an.

If Liu Xie were to go out of the city to meet him, it would be equivalent to putting him in danger. If the two armies had any disagreement and used this to start a war, then Liu Xie, who was in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies, would become extremely dangerous. Thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't agree anyway.

Looking at the pale young man on the throne, Wei Tao couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.

Although he still knows how to play tricks, in fact, after so many experiences, Liu Xie's temperament has become extremely cowardly. As long as he tears off his disguise with a little force, he can clearly see that there is nothing more than a shivering teenager.

After a light sigh, Wei Tao did not come out to rescue Liu Xie. In fact, Wei Tao has no intention of dealing with Liu Xie now. Even today, he just wants to see who Ma Teng will send.

A martial artist, and a typical Xiliang martial artist.

Standing in the main hall, there was an air of arrogance spontaneously, looking around, he didn't see anyone in his eyes at all, seeing this, Wei Tao frowned secretly.

Although this person speaks Chinese, but the style of the grassland is very strong, I am afraid that he has Qiang blood, the envoy is a matter of face, it can be said to be extremely important, such people can also be envoys, I don't know if it is the Han culture, the Qiang, or the Qiang nationality. The Qiang people mixed with the Han people.

Anyway, when Wei Tao saw this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

There was no result in some court discussions, and Wei Tao couldn't care less about it.

But the next day, Wei Tao manipulated the emperor's message, and all the officials in Chang'an city heard about it.

It's just that all the courageous officials in Chang'an City are dead now, and the rest is just that Kong Rong is friendly with Wei Tao like this, and he is optimistic that Wei Tao is a loyal minister of the great man. Although there are rumors, it is not enough to move .

But in this way, Ma Teng and Han Sui outside the city got an excuse.

Only on the second day, envoys from Ma Teng and Han Sui came to Wei Tao to look for him.

"Dare to ask General Wei to let His Majesty go outside the city to meet my lord. Anyway, my lord is in charge of a state, so is he not even qualified to be greeted by His Majesty in person? Besides, Yuan Shao rebelled in the past, and my lord is out of righteousness. The bloody edict is even more famous, so could it be that he is murdering His Majesty?"

It has to be said that Ma Teng and Han Sui have intentions, the emissary sent to discuss with Wei Tao is not like the tyrannical person yesterday, but like the eloquent people who are common in the Central Plains. for general.

With a sweep of his gaze, Wei Tao has already noticed that there are quite a few people gathered around him, and seeing that person is about to complain when he sees Wei Tao, and he doesn't want to enter at all, Wei Tao couldn't help but sighed softly .

This is clearly looking for trouble.

"Gongjin, why is Ma Teng so unwise?"

Wei Tao ignored the man's yelling, but instead asked Zhou Yu beside him.

"My lord, although Ma Teng is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, is he really? His name is inherent in the imperial edict, but he is far away in Xiliang, and he is sitting on Xiliang cavalry. Even if something happens in Chang'an, it will not endanger him. , can you really be a loyal minister of the great man?"

Hearing Zhou Yu's smile, Wei Tao was also slightly silent.

Speaking of it, Ma Teng, like Liu Biao, just sticks to Xiliang, neither participates in the struggle for the Central Plains, nor advocates righteousness, and is not considered a hero in the world.

At this moment, Zhou Yu said with a smile again.

"Now the lord has taken Chang'an and is pushing towards Xiliang. This is the case now. Firstly, it is in the name of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Second, it is also to suppress the lord, so that the lord will not make any plans for Xiliang. I am afraid that these people have already taken Xiliang from Xiliang. To become a country. Ma Teng is certainly a loyal minister of the great man, but this loyal minister of the great man should treat the emperor as a small country and treat the great man as a small country."

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Wei Tao also felt that there was some truth in it, but he shook his head and didn't want to think too much.

Wei Tao had a good conversation with Zhou Yu, but he left the envoy aside, making the envoy feel ashamed!
"Hmph! General Wei's great virtue, I will repay my lord. When the time comes, the general will regret it!"

The emissary just waved his hand and left. Anyway, in fact, the purpose of his arrival had already been achieved.

With the news of this incident, Wei Tao's control of the emperor can be said to be a bit solid. When the time comes to attack Chang'an, it will not be considered a violation of the righteousness of the people.

The teacher is well-known, which is why Ma Teng and Han Sui sent envoys again.

This is also the case in fact, as soon as the envoy left Chang'an, the Xiliang army immediately moved to approach Chang'an. Although they did not launch an offensive immediately, the situation was already very obvious.

"Is there going to be such a battle after all?"

Looking at the Xiliang army outside the city, Wei Tao couldn't help but sigh slightly.

From the beginning to the end, Wei Tao didn't want to start a war, and he didn't deliberately stop it. Such a result had been expected, but when the result was really like this, Wei Tao was also a little emotional.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, war was the main theme of war.

So what if there is going to be a war with Xiliang now, is Wei Tao still afraid?

Sitting and waiting to defend the city is not in Wei Tao's character. Now that the opponent has already attacked, Wei Tao also immediately dispatched the army, and immediately led the army out of the city with the snow dragon horse on his hip.

"Ma Teng, Han Sui, come and see me!"

Between the two armies, Wei Tao yelled loudly, his voice almost drowning out the thundering drums.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Wei Tao's current reputation, even though he is located in Xiliang, is unheard of by everyone. With a loud shout, the army of Xiliang immediately stopped.

After a while, it was Ma Teng and Han Sui who saw two people galloping out.

"Ma Teng, Han Sui, do you want to rebel? The lessons learned by Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao are not far away. Do you really think that I, Wei Tao, will not be able to kill villains with a long halberd?"

Hearing Wei Tao shouting so long, even with Ma Teng's boldness and Han Sui's cunning, he couldn't help but feel a sudden jump in his heart.

They naturally knew what was going on this time.

Naturally, they dare not control the emperor and give orders to the world. It is not a righteous thing for the common people to bring troops to Chang'an this time. They just want to use this to attack Wei Tao and consolidate their position in Xiliang.

It would be best if Wei Tao could be driven out of Sili.

From this point of view, Ma Teng and Han Sui do mean that the emperor can rely on them. After all, if Wei Tao is driven away from Sili, it is impossible for Ma Teng and Han Sui to shift their focus to the Central Plains. The whole of Chang'an, even Sili, would naturally return to Liu Xie's hands.

Even if there are restrictions, there are always some opportunities.

It's a pity that today's emperor Liu Xie is no longer what he used to be, so how dare he seek skin from a tiger?
Even if Ma Teng and Han Sui had intentions, the emperor Liu Xie had no intention of doing so. What's more, he had already used weapons at this time. From Liu Xie's point of view, Ma Teng and Han Sui obviously came here with the same malicious intentions.

So under Wei Tao's drink, both of them felt their hearts skip a beat, especially Ma Teng felt a trace of regret in his heart.

Han Sui was more seasoned than Ma Teng, and he was not as loyal to the big man as Ma Teng, so he recovered faster.

Han Sui and Ma Teng were sworn brothers. Han Sui knew Ma Teng very well. When he saw Ma Teng's expression, he knew what Ma Teng was thinking, so he immediately shouted in a low voice.

"Ma Shoucheng, what are you still thinking about now! You are all grasshoppers tied to a vine. At this point, the only way to defeat this Wei boy is to drive him out of Sili. Then return this Sili to the government. The emperor is in exchange for the emperor's support for us in Xiliang. Only in this way can we maintain the status of your family in Xiliang!"

After being drunk by Han Sui, Ma Teng immediately came to his senses. After all, he is also a prince, and Ma Teng is not the kind of person who can be messed with at will.

"Wei Tao, you don't need to say too much. Are you trying to hijack the emperor? Let the emperor show up! I waited for the emperor to lead the army. I don't know why, but today I know that you intend to do it." The actions of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, no wonder the emperor secretly ordered me to come here!"

When Ma Teng said this, even Han Sui was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ma Teng to have such quick wit. In this way, the Xiliang army is famous for its success.

As for the edict that ordered Ma Teng to lead the troops, it is true.

At that time, the Cao army and the guard army were both present. Although the emperor had the support of the two armies to ascend the throne again, who would take it seriously?
So when this edict was issued, Liu Xie secretly said in it that he was afraid that Ma Teng would come alone, and he was also not the opponent of Cao Cao and Wei Tao.

Who would have thought that Ma Teng would be benefited instead.

"Ma Shoucheng, I didn't know you in the past, but I didn't expect you to have such eloquence, you can almost be a lobbyist!"

On the other hand, when Wei Tao heard this, he just smiled, but soon he looked upright, pointed at the halberd, and said in a straight voice.

"Right and wrong have their own opinions! May I ask you, are you going to fight me?"

The matter has come to this point, no matter whether Ma Teng regrets what he has done, there is no way out at this time.

And at this time, it can be seen that Ma Teng's decisiveness, hearing Wei Tao shouting so loudly, not only did not retreat before, but it was also a drink!
"Where is Lingming?"

As Ma Teng lost his voice, a black-faced man appeared from behind Ma Teng, approached Ma Teng and clasped his fists together.

"Pound has met the lord, please give the order!"

"This thief is based on Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao's disorderly behavior. He is the enemy of my great man. Do you dare to fight against him and take his head?"

Ma Teng pointed at Wei Tao and said with a stern voice, as if Wei Tao was really a heinous traitor.

"The last general takes orders!"

That Pang De agreed without hesitation, and then only saluted Ma Teng, and immediately turned his horse's head, and came straight to Wei Tao. Wei Tao shouted loudly.

"Pang Lingming from Xiliang is here, how dare Wei Tao fight me!"
