After three rounds of drinking, Ma Teng, as the host, had to start to express his position, and the other party had already made the reason clear before, and if he was beating around the bush, it would be a little unwilling.Ma Teng had no choice but to enter the topic and said: "The meaning of the adults going to my Xiliang, we have already understood, I have already held an emergency spy meeting last night, and I have a discussion about the matter that the adults want the alliance, and their opinions are also different."
Today's meeting with you is to hear your opinions, and I also want your lordship to give an explanation to those generals and ministers of our army who oppose it. ”Ma Teng's intention, how could Zhao Yu not understand, to put it bluntly, it was to ask Zhao Yu to make conditions for the alliance, and this matter told someone in the army to oppose the alliance.In other words, if the conditions proposed by oneself are not enough, or if the conditions are too low, the alliance will obviously not be successful.Zhao Yu smiled slightly, and said in the face of Ma Teng, the old fox: "The general met with Zhao Yu in his busy schedule, and set up a grand banquet, Zhao Yu is grateful, here I will first salute the general and you." ”After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he got up and drank the wine, of course, he didn't drink it all, and then put down the wine glass and continued: "As a general, the adult is outspoken and fast-talking, and he is really bold.In this way, Zhao Yu will not beat around the bush, this time I came to Xiliang with the intention of becoming an ally with adults, and it is an eternal ally. ”Pang De, as the right-hand man of the Ma family, is naturally qualified to have the capital to participate: "My lord came to Xiliang in person this time, and my actions made me deeply respectful, but Cao Cao also sent an envoy to persuade me of the Xiliang Alliance, and offered good conditions."
Presumably, adults also know that the alliance of these four parties involves war, and once a war breaks out in various places, it will need to consume a large number of soldiers and horses, grain, grass and money.If there is no temptation, the soldiers will not be willing to help the alliance. ”"General Pang's meaning, I have already understood, for the interests between the two, I have already ordered it, but I have never seen General Ma Teng, so I have not had a chance to speak.I have the honor to meet General Ma Teng this time, and I am not afraid to speak out in front of you. ”Zhao Yu paused slightly after speaking, and continued: "This time I went to Xiliang with the intention of forming an alliance with General Ma Teng, and the alliance treaty is that after the two sides become allies, they have always supported each other and established friendly relations with each other, and no hostility can arise.Military assistance should be taken in the event of a threat from the other side, and the purpose of my current alliance with your army is to defend against the aggression of external princes and to ensure the stability of our Han dynasty.During this period, as a matter of sincerity, our army will conduct business contacts for your army. ”"What kind of business dealings" Zhao Yu's business word is relatively fresh, so Ma Tie can't help but be curious, in fact, it is also the meaning of business dealings, Zhao Yu deliberately used modern words to look quite mysterious."
Although Xiliang has a wide land, due to the topography and climate, there is a lack of grain and crops, and most of the grain and grass are imported from outside.After the alliance, the counties of our three states are willing to send a certain amount of grain and grass to and from Xiliang on a regular basis to exchange the same materials with your army, and ensure that these grains and grasses are only supplied to the Xiliang noble army.And not to spread to other warlords and markets in Xiliang, this is the first condition that our army put forward on the alliance. ”A large amount of grain and grass is regularly supplied to the Xiliang Ma family, not to mention that these grains and grasses need to be exchanged rather than given away for free.In the war years at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a saying that the three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.Although the role of grain and grass cannot be compared with the strength of thousands of troops, it can threaten the difficulties of thousands of troops.With a large supply of follow-up grain and grass as a guarantee, the Ma family's army can give it a go and develop vigorously, which can be said to be a subconscious temptation.Seeing that no one had raised an opinion, Zhao Yu continued: "Second, you also know that not only one side of us came this time, but also the princes of the other side came to gather together, intending to have bad intentions towards our three states.Not to mention whether our army is strong or not, if I am fortunate to ally with the Ma family this time, I do not intend to let the Ma family be the vanguard cannon fodder for me or the mobilization of the army. ”"I only ask that after forming an alliance with our army, your army can fulfill its responsibilities as an alliance alliance and will not arbitrarily sever the affection between the two sides.When Cao Cao invited Han Sui to attack our army, he was able to restrain Han Sui's army so that it could not send troops to assist Cao Cao in threatening our army.In the future, no matter what enemy invasion your army faces, our army will provide unconditional assistance. ”This second condition is a little unbelievable, which can be said to be a big bargain for the Ma family.Ma Chao couldn't help but ask: "Can I think that the condition of the Lord is that at present, the Ma family is only for us to monitor Han Sui and all other movements in Xiliang, and prevent him from joining forces with Cao Cao to attack the three states of the Lord, as long as we restrain Han Sui, we don't need to interfere with other threats from the outside world to the Lord."
And if there is any threat to our Ma family in the future, the adults will give unconditional help, right?"
As Brother Meng Qi said, this is what he meant. ”Zhao Yu said that seeing that the other party was silent, he continued: "In the future, your army only needs to form an alliance with me to create a peaceful world for the Han Dynasty and the people of the world."
I will definitely enlighten the Son of Heaven to rank the Ma family as the third prince, and the king will be admired by the world, and the land of today will also allow the Ma family to choose a piece of land for development. ”"My lord's words are true" As soon as he heard this condition, Ma Teng suddenly had a whim, and his life's blood was mixed with the princes of the army.Looking at the turbulent and turbulent times in the world, Ma Teng, as a famous general, was obviously a little unwilling, and wanted to be close to the Han court, but the chaos of the court made him dare not move at will.But this time is different, he and Han Sui are opposite-sex sworn brothers, and Zhao Yu and Dang Jinzi are sworn brothers, and they are now King Zhao, and the names of the two Han families are here.Even if the Son of Heaven is Cao Cao's puppet now, it is difficult to guarantee future development, and for Ma Teng, he is more willing to bet the family's bet on Zhao Yu.Zhao Yu suddenly smiled and said: "Zhao Yu has always been a gentleman when he speaks, and it is difficult to chase a horse, even if the knife is on his neck, it will not change." ”Without waiting for Ma Teng to answer, Ma Chao on the side interjected first: "That's fine, it's just that my Xiliang Army has always admired heroes, and your names have already swept Xiliang."
This time, I have the pleasure of talking with you here, and I have a small request below, and I don't know if you can meet it. ”Zhao Yu said modestly: "Heroes don't dare to be, it's all because the world can afford it, Brother Meng Qi has anything to order, only to come through, as long as it is within the scope of his ability, he will definitely allow it." ”Ma Chao hurriedly said: "Everyone in the world knows that the Lord punished Dong Zhuo, destroyed Yuan Shu, fought Lu Bu, and defeated Yuan Shao, and his bravery is unstoppable in the world.And I, Xiliang, have always respected heroes, and I am born to fight with masters.Ma Chao implored my lord to fight with me, so that my Xiliang soldiers could see the divine power of my lord. ”As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, Zhao Yu was not allowed to say anything, and the Ma Teng family in the tent all coaxed: "Good, good, good." ”The instantaneous change caught Zhao Yu and the others a little off guard, and the situation that was originally going well suddenly became dramatic.However, it seems that there should be no problem with the alliance in the previous situation, but this sudden duel has disrupted everyone's layout. ”Seeing Zhao Yu's embarrassment, Guo Jia on the side hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The courage of the Xiliang soldiers is also known to my Central Plains soldiers, and it is also a good thing to be fortunate to be able to learn from each other today."
The generals under my lord's command, but I don't know which general your army wants to compete with" Ma Chao still didn't miss the opportunity to compete with Zhao Yu and said: "There are many capable people under the command of adults, but I Xiliang worships the divine power of adults more, and Ma Chao has the courage to teach adults." ”After Guo Jia's voice was behind, Dian Wei on the side had already understood what he meant, that is, he wanted to let himself and others fight instead of the eldest brother, who knew that the kid on the other side didn't know the height of the sky, and he insisted on fighting Zhao Yu.couldn't help but be slightly angry and said: "Hmph, how can my eldest brother be challenged at will, if you want to fight with my eldest brother, you should pass my level first." ”In fact, the biggest headache is Zhao Yu, there are factors in his own limelight, and there is moisture in several heads-up victories with Lu Bu.The first time he fought Lu Bu head-to-head was because Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were physically damaged and narrowly won due to internal injuries when they were fighting alone; The second time he singled out with Lu Bu Baimenlou was because Lu Bu's daughter was in his own hands, and Lu Bu knew that he would not escape his bad luck and reputation, so he was bent on death and was defeated by his own gun.And this Ma Chao has two titles, one is Jin Ma Chao, and the other is General Shenweitian, and even later generations have a high opinion of him.Before he came to Xiliang, he was seriously injured in an assassination incident, and although he was properly healed, it was still inconvenient to use force on a large scale.If you fight with idle soldiers, there is nothing, but this Ma Chao is not an ordinary military general.Jin Ma Chao, who can be qualified as one of the five tiger generals, is at the same level as Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning.I can't even beat them, how to fight with Ma Chao, if I am embarrassed and foreign-looking, I will suffer.So he said: "Brother Meng Qi thinks so highly of me, Zhao Yu is very excited, but he has been unwell recently, and I am afraid that this martial arts competition will disappoint Brother Meng Qi."
However, Zhao Yu guarantees that these generals around me, Brother Meng Qi, can be chosen at will, and each of them is an invincible general who can shock the side.If Brother Meng Qi can defeat them, I can add another condition to the alliance between the two armies, and the condition is that Brother Meng Qi speaks, what do you think" Ma Chao's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "This is true, and you can't regret it" Zhao Yu smiled and smiled: "Brother Meng Qi forgot that I have just said that I will never regret what Zhao Yu said." ”"That's good, just now this strong man was dissatisfied with Chaozhi's words, so I fought with him."
After Ma Chao finished speaking, he pointed his finger at a person, who was Dian Wei who yelled at him just now.Dian Wei stood up when he heard this, and said very unrelentingly: "It's exactly what I want, and I want to teach it a lesson." ”:
