Chapter 334: Ma Teng's Surprise
Early the next morning, Liu Bian and the others led the army to set off first.
And Jia Xu, because he was arranged by Liu Bian last night to distribute corn seeds to the people, stayed in Chunqu County with the two thousand troops stationed there.
After Jia Xu arranged the affairs of Chunqu County properly, he rushed to join Liu Bian!
After all, the people in other parts of Liangzhou also needed corn, and at that time, they would have to rely on Jia Xu to arrange it for them!
Just as Liu Bian's army was marching toward Yinpan County and heading toward Linjing City, the commandery city of Anding Commandery, Ma Chao, who had returned to support Ma Teng, had also returned to Wuwei Commandery at this time.
"Young General, we are back!"
After two days of rushing, at this time, Ma Chao, leading his team of personal guards, was looking at the tall Guzang City in front of him.
"Tell General Hou Xuan that I am back!"
"Yes, Young General!"
The personal guard immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly at the city.
"Is General Hou Xuan here? The Young General is back!"
And the guards in the city, after hearing the loud shout of the personal guard, immediately leaned out to look down.
"General, it really is the Young General who is back!"
And Hou Xuan, who was on the city tower, after hearing the soldier's words, also looked toward the bottom.
After seeing clearly that the person who came was indeed Ma Chao, he was also overjoyed and shouted loudly at Ma Chao below.
"Young General, please wait a moment. This subordinate will call someone to open the city gate immediately!"
After cupping his hands to Ma Chao, he shouted loudly to the guards at the city gate: "Why don't you hurry and open the city gate to welcome the Young General into the city!"
"Open the city gate!"
The guard immediately waved his hand, and the soldiers on the side opened the heavy city gate.
"Creak..."
After the city gate was wide open, Hou Xuan led people to greet them first, cupped his hands and said respectfully to Ma Chao: "This subordinate Hou Xuan, welcomes the Young General!"
"General Hou, no need for formalities. I will go back to pay respects to my father first!"
After Ma Chao said to Hou Xuan, he led his personal guards straight to the Taishou Fu.
"Everyone, this general has received a letter from the imperial court's Shadow Guard. His Majesty has discovered that Han Sui has disloyal intentions."
"Moreover, he has been frequently interacting with the Qiang tribe recently. His Majesty suspects that he may want to unite with the Qiang tribe to resist the imperial court."
"His Majesty requires me to send troops to take Han Sui, and His Majesty even sent Mengqi to support me!"
In the hall of the Taishou Fu, Ma Teng had already gathered the generals under his command at this time and told everyone the news sent by Liu Bian.
"General, this Han Sui has long been a person with wolfish ambition, actually daring to unite with the Qiang tribe. This is the crime of betraying the tribe!"
Pang De, who was in the ranks of martial generals, after hearing Ma Teng's words, immediately slammed the table and said angrily.
"That's right, he is a person from Liangzhou, has he forgotten how the Qiang tribe slaughtered the people of Liangzhou back then?"
"That's right, such a person is not worthy of being brothers with the General. I really feel it's not worth it for the General to have sworn brotherhood with him back then!"
After Pang De started, Ma Dai and Cheng Yin in the ranks of martial generals were also furious.
Afterwards, everyone followed suit and scolded Han Sui. For a time, a sound of scolding rang out in the entire hall.
"Quiet! Making such a racket, what do you all want to do!"
Seeing the crowd arguing, Ma Teng slammed the table angrily and shouted.
After seeing Ma Teng's anger, the arguing crowd also lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look at Ma Teng.
Just when Ma Teng was about to reprimand the crowd, a soldier broke into the hall and said excitedly to Ma Teng.
"Reporting to the General, the Young General is back!"
Ma Teng, who heard that Ma Chao was back, was instantly overjoyed. For a time, he also forgot about reprimanding the crowd.
He laughed loudly at the crowd: "Hahahaha, Mengqi is back?"
"Child Ma Chao, pays respects to Father!"
At this time, Ma Chao also walked into the hall and cupped his hands to Ma Teng.
"Hahahaha, Mengqi, you have really worked hard!"
"Originally, I asked you to help His Majesty, but I didn't expect His Majesty to send you to support me again!"
"Hurry and tell me, how have you been doing with His Majesty these days!"
After Ma Teng saw Ma Chao, he asked repeatedly with excitement. After speaking, he looked at Ma Chao with full expectation.
He was also a little worried that Ma Chao was young and vigorous and would offend Liu Bian.
Seeing the worry in Ma Teng's eyes, Ma Chao gave him a reassuring look.
He said to Ma Teng with a smile: "Please rest assured, Father, His Majesty is very good to me!"
"Father, you don't know, after going to Luoyang this time, I realized that there are so many powerful people in this world!"
Thinking of the strength displayed by Liu Bian and the others, Ma Chao said with full awe on his face.
"Oh! My child, you have met someone stronger than you? However, as far as I know, His Majesty only has Lü Bu who is powerful!"
"Could it be that His Majesty has someone under his command who can rival Lü Bu?"
After seeing Ma Chao's appearance, Ma Teng was also a little curious. Seeing his son like this, he thought he must have grown a lot from this trip to Luoyang!
At the very least, the arrogance in his eyes was gone now, and he had become much more stable.
"Father, you don't know, the experts under His Majesty, I can't even rank in the top ten!"
"Moreover, His Majesty has mastered martial arts cultivation techniques. Now, His Majesty has introduced the techniques into the army. Now, the army under His Majesty basically all has the strength of a third-rate martial general!"
When Ma Chao spoke of Liu Bian, his face was full of awe.
He told Ma Teng and the others everything he saw and heard at Liu Bian's place.
And after hearing Ma Chao's words, Ma Teng and the others were all shocked with their mouths wide open.
Only after Ma Teng came back to his senses did he question Ma Chao in a daze:
"Mengqi, are you having a fever! Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
After speaking, he even reached out to touch Ma Chao's forehead.
He said slightly suspiciously: "You don't have a fever! Why are you talking nonsense!"
"That's right, Big Brother, did you see it wrong? How is it possible that the whole army has the strength of a third-rate martial general!"
Ma Dai, who was beside Ma Chao, also looked at Ma Chao with disbelief.
After seeing Ma Teng and the others' expressions, Ma Chao was instantly anxious: "No! Father, Second Brother, everything I said is true!"
"Moreover, ever since I cultivated the martial arts technique taught by His Majesty, I am now in the Postnatal Second Heaven realm!"
"Now, even a first-rate martial general is not a match for me!"
Seeing Ma Teng and the others clearly not believing his words, Ma Chao said anxiously. 【3
"What! Mengqi, is everything you say true? Is that so-called Martial Dao technique really that powerful?"
Seeing Ma Chao's anxious explanation, Ma Teng could not help but believe him a little.
After all, no one knows a son better than his father, but what Ma Chao said was too exaggerated, and subconsciously, they did not dare to believe it.
"If Father does not believe me, I can demonstrate my strength to you on the spot."
Seeing that Ma Teng finally began to believe him, Ma Chao immediately said to him.
