Faced with Zhao Yu's ridicule, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Hehe, if you change someone else, it is not worthy of my Cao Mou's personal supervision."
But the opponent is the current King of Zhao, even Meng De does not dare to be careless, for fear of being scratched by the tiger. ”Zhao Yu immediately ridiculed: "The prime minister is really joking, even if there is a tiger, but the prime minister is equipped with a sword at his waist, and there are many peerless generals around him, even if the tiger sees the prime minister, it is like a cat play." ”Cao Cao suddenly said with a speechless expression: "I didn't expect that King Zhao was not only both civil and military, but also eloquent, and Meng De, who spoke with sharp teeth, was speechless. ”"Okay, Prime Minister, the idle talk is almost over, you and I both know this when we get together this time, so we might as well start talking about business.Yu Ban and General Mao Jue have been serving me every day, and I have been serving them with good food and drink every day, but I have not lost weight, but have gained a few pounds, which is more powerful than before, I don't know if the three of General Ma Teng are good" Zhao Yu finished speaking, pretending to look at the three Ma Teng who were escorted among the five hundred guards behind Cao Cao.Cao Cao smiled and said: "King Zhao is too worried, although Meng De is warlike but also easy to make friends, General Ma Teng went to me to live a fairy-like life." ”"Alright then, let's start exchanging hostages."
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he said to Dian Wei on the side: "Go and bring people over" "Slow." ”didn't want Zhao Yu's voice to fall, and a person on the other side interjected, and this person's words immediately attracted the attention of people on both sides.Looking at the other party's ill-intentioned gaze, Zhao Yu asked lightly: "Who are you going to do?"
"Lord Huizhou, I am a military advisor and strategist next to the prime minister, and I have an opinion on the exchange of hostages between the two sides this time." ”The other party replied lightly, although he seemed respectful, he called Zhao Yu the state pastor instead of King Zhao like Cao Cao.And Zhao Yu also knows a little about Xi Zhicai, and this person's scheming is not under Guo Jia.If I am not mistaken, in history, before Guo Jia entered Cao Ying, this person had passed away, why he is still alive and well at this moment, it is not because of himself, which has caused some fluctuations in history.Seeing that this guy who was not inferior to Guo Jiazhicai came out to disturb at this moment, a bad thought flashed in Zhao Yu's heart, this guy must have some big conspiracy.However, as the lord of the three states, how could King Zhao not answer with others because of his personal mood, after a little clue, Zhao Yu smiled faintly and said: "Oh, it seems that I have heard of Your Excellency's name, I don't know what advice I have" Xi Zhicai bowed his head slightly: "I don't dare to give advice, but I need to remind the state pastor of the next word." ”Zhao Yu immediately became lukewarm and said: "If there is something to say directly, there is no need to procrastinate, it is a waste of time." ”"I just want to remind Lord Governor that what we are asking for in exchange is only General Yu Ban and Lord Mao Jue.And we have General Ma Teng and his sons Ma Tie and Ma Xiu here, and I don't know which two you want in exchange. ”After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, an imperceptible smile rose at the corner of his mouth.Insidious and vicious, this is Zhao Yu's evaluation of Xi Zhicai in an instant, the exchange of hostages is an unfair transaction in itself, and Party B's desire to exchange two people for three people may not work in some cases.What's more, the initiative this time is in the hands of the other party, if it is replaced by himself, he will definitely not exchange three people for two, the key is to see the importance of this exchange of characters.If it is to exchange Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, Zhao Yu is willing to exchange even a hundred for one.But now that the other party suddenly has a problem at this juncture, it is obviously a long-planned plan, and he will definitely not be able to come up with a solution at this moment, even if he has a flexible mind, he will definitely not easily pass the other party's request.Feeling the other party's hidden and inner smirk and complacent, Zhao Yu suppressed his anger and pretended to be calm: "Look at me, I'm usually too busy, but I forgot about such things, so I don't know what kind of exchange you want" Xi Zhicai still said with a calm and calm expression: "One is that Lord Zhou Mu chooses two of these three people as a transaction, and the other is that you can exchange three for two, but the adult seems to be trying to come up with something to compensate." ”Xi Zhicai's conditions made Zhao Yu unable to make any reaction for a while, so he had to say: "Okay, let me discuss" "Wait a minute, the old man has something to say." ”Just as Zhao Yu's words fell, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the crowd of Cao Jun, and everyone followed the reputation and found that this person was Na Ma Teng.Without waiting for others to have doubts, Ma Teng said loudly: "Prime Minister Cao, Zhao Yu is the current King of Zhao, I am just a general of the Han Dynasty, I met the King of Zhao today, I want to meet and reminisce about the past, I don't know if the Prime Minister will allow it" With Ma Xiu and Ma Tie under his control, Cao Cao will certainly not worry about Ma Teng's tricks, not to mention that with his understanding of Ma Teng, there will definitely be no problems, and he said leisurely: "General Ma Teng wants to exchange feelings with King Zhao, how can this Prime Minister stop him, yes." ”With Cao Cao's order, the left and right sergeants in charge of guarding Ma Teng loosened their escorted weapons, and Ma Teng walked slowly towards Zhao Yu alone.After the two got together half a step away, Ma Teng paused, and Ma Yunlu, who was behind Zhao Yu, was stopped by Pang De on the side when he saw his father wanting to rush over.Ma Teng smiled at the two of them, turned to Zhao Yu and said, "Ma Teng has seen King Zhao, and he is ashamed to have caused so much trouble to King Zhao this time." ”Zhao Yu hurriedly said: "General Ma's words are wrong, Zhao Yu was alone and independent that day, only General Ma Lao trusted, and now the general is in trouble, how can Zhao Yu stand by and watch."
Please don't worry, wait a while, I will rescue the old general and the two sons, and when the time comes, I will go back to Jizhou to be the east to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the old general. ”Ma Teng sighed and said: "Hey, being able to be a confidant with King Zhao today is a great joy in life, but some people don't seem to plan to let me wait for my wish."
Ma Teng came out this time and wanted to implore King Zhao to agree, as long as King Zhao could promise me, the stone in Ma Teng's heart would fall, and he would die without regrets. ”Zhao Yu said: "Old general, please say, as long as I, Zhao Yu, can do it, I will never shirk." ”"Now my horse was ruined by the traitor's tricks, and almost perished, but fortunately, God treats me well, and finally saves the blood of my Ma family.Ma Teng begged King Zhao to accept a few of my children, so that they could follow King Zhao to fight in the north and south, and continue the prestige and incense of my Ma family. ”After Ma Teng finished speaking, he raised his head to meet Zhao Yu's gaze, and there was an old and godless gaze in those eyes, which made Zhao Yu's heart sour.Imagine that the originally beautiful Ma Jiajun was suddenly wiped out, and no one could accept it, Zhao Yu hurriedly bowed his hand to Ma Teng and said: "Please rest assured, as long as I, Zhao Yu, have a breath of air, I will definitely keep the general's son and continue the Ma family's eternal generation." ”"Okay, with King Zhao's words, I, Ma Teng, am content, and I have thanked King Zhao up and down for the Ma family."
After speaking, Ma Teng actually wanted to bow down to Zhao Yu.Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to hold up the other party, but he didn't want to move Ma Teng's body at that moment, and rushed towards Zhao Yu with an arrow step, touching Zhao Yu's waist with one hand.Hearing the sound of a weapon "poof", the two separated again, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, only to see that Ma Teng had an extra dagger in his hand at some point.Ma Teng held the dagger with both hands against his heart, looked at Zhao Yu and Pang De and Ma Yunlu behind him, and said: "From now on, my descendants of Ma Teng must obey King Zhao forever, and must not betray the lord for glory, otherwise he will be the son of my Ma Teng." ”As soon as the words fell, only to hear a slight sound of "poof", in the exclamation of everyone, Ma Teng's body fell backwards, Zhao Yu hurriedly went up to support him and failed to fall to the ground, but Ma Teng had already closed his eyes The suicide of "father" Ma Teng made Ma Yunlu, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie lose control in an instant, and couldn't help crying bitterly, but because of the people around them, they couldn't rush forward.Holding Ma Teng's corpse, Zhao Yu only felt that his whole body couldn't help trembling, and there seemed to be something in his heart that wanted to escape out of his body, and he couldn't stop flowing in his body.In fact, not only Zhao Yu and others, but even Cao Cao and others on the opposite side did not expect this kind of thing to happen, and originally wanted to blackmail each other by the way with the advantage of the three of them.Although it can't be exchanged for a state city, it can at least be exchanged for one-half or one-third of Xuzhou.But at this moment, as soon as Ma Teng died, all the plans were in vain, and no one could speak silently.I only heard Zhao Yu suddenly speak, and said with a hint of coldness in his tone: "Prime Minister, can we trade two people for two people in a fair way now." ”Cao Cao was silent for a while, but still responded: "Just answer King Zhao, two for two." ”Later, under the cautious exchange between the two sides, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were in custody of Yu Ban and Mao Jue, while Cao Junzhong was Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao in custody of Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.After the two sides walked to the middle, they quickly exchanged hands, and as soon as Ma Tie and Ma Xiu regained their freedom, they immediately flew in the direction of Zhao Yu.At this time, Ma Yunlu also broke free from Pang De's obstruction and pounced together, the three of them hugged Ma Teng's body and cried bitterly, Zhao Yu just stood next to the three of them and watched, and said half-loudly: "Carry your father away, go back and give me a good burial, now is not the time for you to cry." ”Although the three of them were full of grief and indignation at the moment, they also knew the surrounding situation at the moment, Ma Tie picked up Ma Teng, took the horse led by a soldier in the army and put Ma Teng's body on it.After Cao Jun picked up Tai Ban and Mao Jue, Cao Cao turned around and left, followed by Xu Chu and Cao Hong.After all, it was not possible to draw a safe distance from Zhao Jun for the time being, and everyone did not dare to be careless, until that drama Zhicai arched his hand at Zhao Yu and said: "This time, Lord Laozhou Mu has a trip, see you again." ”:
