The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 188 I'm here to appoint an official
The guard asked, but it was Ma Teng and Han Sui who came.

Ma Teng replied: "I heard that Mr. Xianxin came to Xiliang, and the two of us came here to greet him specially. Please also report on your behalf."

"My lord already knows." The guard replied, "I'm waiting in the tent, please follow me, two generals."

Looking at each other, Ma Teng and Han Sui followed the guards.

Before Ma Chao left, he ordered Ma Tie who came with him: "If you see chaos in the other party's camp, it means that I am protecting my father and General Han and are going out. You immediately lead the soldiers to respond."

"Brother, don't worry." Ma Tie agreed: "I will always pay attention."

Ma Chao nodded and left with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Ma Teng and others came outside Yuan Xu's tent, and the guards stopped Ma Chao and the accompanying guards.

Glaring at the guard who blocked them, Ma Chao asked, "What are you doing?"

"My lord has an explanation." The guard replied: "Only General Ma and General Han are invited to enter, and everyone else is waiting outside."

Ma Chao wanted to argue, but Ma Teng said, "Meng Qi is waiting outside..."

In the tent, Yuan Xu heard what Ma Teng said, and ordered outside: "Since Ma Mengqi is accompanying the two generals, let him come in together."

Then the guard stepped aside and asked Ma Teng, Han Sui and Ma Chao to enter the account.

The guards brought by Ma Teng and others were stopped outside.

The three entered the tent, and Yuan Xu, who was busy doing something with his head down, stood up and greeted them with a smile on his face: "General Ma, General Han, you are polite."

Ma Teng and Han Sui could only return the courtesy to Yuan Xu's politeness.

Ma Teng asked Yuan Xu, "Mr. Xianxin is not in Hebei, but he came to Xiliang, what can I do?"

Yuan Xu didn't respond to him immediately, but only looked at Ma Chao.

With a smile on his face, he nodded in praise and said: "Everyone says that Meng Qi is extremely powerful. I didn't quite believe it before, but now I do."

Ma Teng and Han Sui looked confused.

Neither of them understood why Yuan Xu came to Xiliang.

For the sake of Xiliang, why only pay attention to Ma Chao?

"Mr. Xianxin." Yuan Xu was still looking at Ma Chao, and Ma Teng asked again: "Dare to ask, why did you come to Xiliang?"

Only then did Yuan Xu reply: "I came to Xiliang, actually following His Majesty's order."

"Your Majesty's will?" Ma Teng and Han Sui looked astonished.

Both of them knew that Liu Xie was in Yecheng now, what Yuan Xu meant was also what he meant.

Yuan Xu didn't directly say what he was going to do, but pushed the matter to Liu Xie.

It can be seen that this matter should not be that simple.

"May I ask what your Majesty's will is?" Ma Teng asked again.

"The two generals have been in Xiliang for many years, and their ranks have not changed." Yuan Xu replied, "It's time for a promotion. Your Majesty ordered me to come here, and it was the imperial conferment of the two."

As soon as Yuan Xu opened his mouth, Ma Teng and Han Sui were even more confused when they were about to be granted official titles.

If Yuan Xu asked them for Xiliang, it would be easier for them to accept it.

When they came up, they were granted official titles, but they were at a loss as to what to do.

"My lord has something to say, just say it clearly." Han Sui asked, "Your Majesty conferred an official title, what do we need to do?"

"The big man belongs to His Majesty, and the world belongs to His Majesty." Yuan Xu pretended to be stunned for a moment, and asked Han Sui: "Whoever is appointed by Your Majesty to be an official, do you have to ask that person to do something?"

Han Sui was stopped by him, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Ma Teng smoothed things over: "General Han means that we have no meritorious service, so why did His Majesty suddenly decide to confer an official title?"

"Who says the two generals have no achievements?" Yuan Xu said, "If the two guards in Xiliang were not there, once the Qiang people rebelled, the Central Plains would still be safe?"

What Yuan Xu said made sense.

Han Sui and Ma Teng glanced at each other and didn't ask any more questions.

Yuan Xu continued: "Based on the merits of the two generals, Your Majesty has decided to confer the right and left generals, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty's order, of course we are grateful to Dade." Ma Teng replied: "Young Master asked what you think, I'm afraid it's not right."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Yuan Xu curled his lips: "It's just an official title. Compared with what the two generals will do next, it's not worth mentioning at all."

"I don't know what His Majesty wants us to do?" Han Sui asked.

"Your Majesty wants the two generals to serve as officials in Yecheng." Yuan Xu said, "He always feels uneasy about the two staying in Xiliang."

"Is it His Majesty who is worried, or Mr. Xian Xin?" Ma Chao asked loudly.

Yuan Xu looked at him and grinned: "I only know that Meng Qi is very brave, but I really didn't know that his speech is so sharp."

Ma Chao glared at him angrily, but didn't answer.

"Okay." Yuan Xu stood up: "Actually, not only His Majesty is worried, but I am also worried about the two generals."

Ma Teng and Han Sui frowned.

Yuan Xu went on to say: "Now I am fighting for the Han Dynasty and conquering many places. I think the two of you have heard about it."

"My son's achievements must have a part in the history of the great Han Dynasty." Han Sui asked, "However, what does this matter have to do with me and Shoucheng?"

"The two generals really don't understand, or are they pretending not to understand?" Yuan Xu said: "Xiliang has more than [-] soldiers, how many soldiers and horses does the imperial court have? If the two of you attack the imperial court, your majesty will be deeply troubled by it. If you are still loyal to the great man, please accept the seal of worship as soon as possible, and return to Yecheng with me."

"Father and General Han went to Yecheng, what about Xiliang?" Ma Chao said, "The Qiang people in Xilang have always only obeyed them..."

"There are other officials from the Xiliang Society to take care of it." Yuan Xu said: "I just discussed with His Majesty a few days ago. Come out, the Great Han Dynasty Hall will surely continue to prosper as in the past."

"Back then, it was Cao Mengde who coerced the emperor to command the princes, but now he has changed again." Ma Chao snorted coldly: "Yuan Xianxin, don't use your majesty to oppress others..."

"Who can your Majesty suppress?" Yuan Xu's face suddenly turned cold, and he asked Ma Chao, "Have you ever considered him in the Ma family of Xiliang?"

"The Ma family are courtiers of a big man, how could they not take His Majesty seriously?" Ma Chao asked back.

"Since His Majesty is taken seriously, has Xiliang paid tribute for so many years?" Yuan Xu asked, "When His Majesty was coerced by Cao Mengde, did the Ma family ever think about saving him?"

Ma Chao replied: "If Your Majesty is in Luoyang, the Ma family will definitely pay tribute every year. It's a pity that he was in Xudu first, and then went to Yecheng. Should the tribute be paid to Your Majesty, or to Cao Mengde or you?"

"Meng Qi's eloquent teeth stopped me." Yuan Xu smiled and asked Ma Chao, "You mean, General Ma and General Han will not go to Yecheng without His Majesty's order?"

"Of course not." Ma Chao replied, "Father and General Han have gone to Yecheng, so don't they let you slaughter them?"
