Drive, drive, drive More than a dozen horsemen galloped on the grassland, went straight to the north gate of Linjing City, and ran until near the north gate before the horse stopped urgently, because there were dozens of guards standing at the door, and when they saw the horses coming, there were already strong bows and crossbows erected to prevent the riders from approaching.
A fine rider was swept out of the crowd, but it was the Gongsun Army scout dressed as a scout, negotiating something forward.
The leader of the horses is a young general about 20 years old, more than eight feet tall, riding a majestic Dawan white horse, with an angular face and heroic spirit, it is Ma Dai.
Looking at the "Gongsun" banner at the head of the city, Ma Dai couldn't help but have mixed feelings and thoughts, because more than a month ago, the owner of this city was still the Xiliang Ma family, and the banner of the Gongsun clan was hung in a blink of an eye.
Just as he was sighing, the Gongsun army scout he met on the road had finished negotiating with the guards and made a request to him, Ma Dai didn't think much about it, and led the horses to follow the scout into the city.
Ma Dai has lived in Linjing City for seven or eight years, and along the way, he galloped in the familiar city, and Ma Dai suddenly had a strange feeling.
The street is still the same street, the buildings on both sides have not changed, even the stall selling flatbread on Beimen Street, which he frequents, is still there, and the daughter of the old man selling bread is still selling in a crisp voice, and it seems that nothing has changed.
After a long time, he finally understood what the difference was.
Joy, this uncle Ma Teng has been running the city for many years, the people in the city have always respected Ma Teng, it stands to reason that the people of Linjing City should not be angry, but he really saw joy on the faces of the people.
At this moment, he seemed to finally feel Gongsun Bai's horror.
All the way, I followed the scout along the most familiar road, turned left and right, and came to the most familiar mansion, which was the former Ma Mansion, where he lived for many years, and now it has become the temporary Yan Wang's Mansion.
The guard at the door had naturally changed into King Yan's personal guard, and after the scout went forward and talked to the leader of the guards, the leader of the guards immediately changed into a solemn look, and then entered the small door and entered to pay respects.
I have been waiting for half an hour, and all the Xiliang riders can't help but be furious at the guards at the door, and those guards are naturally not to be outdone.
The two sides quarreled, but only Ma Dai was calm and relaxed, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Gongsun Bai hasn't seen each other for so long, but he has taken a reassuring pill, if Gongsun Bai hurriedly goes out of the door to greet him, it means that there may be fraud in it.
Finally, the leader of the guards came out of the small door, and then opened a door, and said to Ma Dai and the others: "Go in, King Yan is waiting in the hall." ” Everyone dismounted one after another and followed the head of the guard into the house, Ma Dai looked at the familiar scene all the way around, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.
Fortunately, it won't be long before it can be killed again.
In the lobby, there were only three or five people, and Ma Dai recognized Gongsun Bai sitting in the middle at a glance.
I saw Gongsun Bai dressed in a spotless white robe, wearing a white jade crown, but his handsome face faintly revealed a majesty of not being angry and arrogant.
In addition to Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who knew each other, another thin and thin civil official did not know each other.
Ma Dai hurriedly bowed forward and said, "The last general, Ma Dai, meet King Yan" Gongsun Bai glanced at him indifferently, waved his hand lightly and said, "No courtesy" Ma Dai took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it forward: "The last general is hereby to submit a letter on the order of his uncle, General Andy. ” Before the words fell, Wu Ming, the commander of the guards behind Gongsun Bai, had already taken the brocade box forward, opened it and took out a letter from it, opened the envelope, unfolded the letterhead, shook it and found nothing unusual, and then gently handed it to Gongsun Bai.
Gongsun Bai carefully read the letterhead for a while, his face immediately became solemn, his eyes suddenly became shining, his eyes were like electricity, and he stared at Ma Dai deadly, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
Gongsun Bai looked at him for a while, and then handed the letterhead to the civil official next to him and said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui want to be lonely, how about filial piety?"
Feng Xiaogong Sun Bai's most favored strategist Guo Jia Ma Dai's heart jumped suddenly.
Sure enough, that Guo Jia was not a good thing to mess with, but after reading it in a hurry, he let out a sneer, which made Ma Dai's heart uneasy.
I only heard Guo Jia ask: "Ma Teng and Han Sui and other ten departments of Xiliang, there are still 90,000 elite horsemen, and they still have the strength to fight, why do you surrender to see Ma Chao's little baby is quite arrogant?"
Ma Dai hurriedly said: "King Yan's soldiers are invincible in the world, not only even breaking Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei and Liaodong, even the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes and Cao Cao, who sat in the land of five states, were destroyed by King Yan, how can only 90,000 cavalry be the enemy of King Yan A battle outside the city of Linjing, King Yan leads the power of thunder in the sky, and has the strength of a crossbow, 120,000 iron cavalry has lost 30,000 people before it gets close, and my uncle does not dare to be an enemy of King Yan.
What's more, my Xiliang Ma family, originally after General Han Fubo, was loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he didn't notice it for a while in the past, and was bewitched by the Cao family and became an enemy of King Yan, but now my uncle has figured it out and doesn't want to bear the name of traitor. ” Guo Jia sneered again, and said in a weird manner: "What Han Zhongliang, what Xiliang Ma family, what Shenweitian general, it's just that I'm afraid of being beaten, it's just that I don't know how powerful I don't know if I don't fight, and I don't know what is wrong until I hurt it." ” Ma Dai's face changed greatly, and he was about to refute it, but he finally endured it.
Then I heard Guo Jia ask: "Since you want to surrender the alliance, then where is the place of the alliance, it is on the outskirts of Linjing, how?"
Ma Dai's face changed again, and he smiled helplessly: "Guo Taichang, Linjing City is too far away after all, how about being at the southern foot of Liupan Mountain at the junction of the two counties."
"Nanlu" Guo Jia stood up, squinted at him, and sneered, "Are you stupid to be the official, not to mention that you want to meet the alliance, and you want King Yan to go around hundreds of miles to the southern foothills, who surrenders to whom?"
Ma Dai pretended to think for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, then we will choose the alliance at the northern foothills, but the place of this alliance will have to be chosen by us."
He paused, smiled, looked at Guo Jia and said slowly: "Guo Taichang, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable." ” "Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
Guo Jia muttered disdainfully, looked at Gongsun Bai and said, "The lower officials think this plan is feasible, please show it to King Yan." ” Gongsun Bai looked very convinced of Guo Jia, nodded and said, "Okay, please discuss the rest of the details with Fengxiao in detail." ” Immediately afterwards, the two had a fierce quarrel over the number of soldiers and horses brought by the two sides when they met the alliance, and finally determined the agreement that Gongsun Jun would lead 5,000 white horse righteous servants and Xiliang Coalition Army lead 10,000 Xiliang cavalry to participate in the meeting.
Next, what seems to be the most important part, but in fact, it is also the least important part for Ma Dai, that is, the officials of Ma Teng and other ten generals of Xiliang.
For this, Ma Dai came on behalf of the Ma family, and it seemed that he was competing with reason, and Gongsun Bai also cut his flesh, without giving in, and finally argued for a long time before Gongsun Bai reluctantly agreed to worship Ma Teng as the general of Pingxi, the Marquis of Ji, and the reward of other generals.
On the whole, it was a united meeting and a victorious meeting, and although there were too many disputes between the two sides during the meeting, they still achieved satisfactory results for both sides.
As for who is the real winner and who will have the last laugh, it is unknown.
After Ma Dai and his entourage successfully completed their mission, they returned to Jicheng and reported all the circumstances of the trip to Gongsun Bai, including Guo Jia's arrogance and disdain, as well as Gongsun Bai's calculations, to Ma Teng and others in detail.
After Ma Teng and Han Sui carefully analyzed it, they completely strengthened their confidence, and even Ma Chao was in high spirits, gearing up, eager to try, wanting this day to come early, slashing Gongsun Bai, and being ashamed.
After a few days, Ma Teng and others pretended to negotiate, and then Ma Dai informed Gongsun Bai of the location of the alliance that day, under the difficulty of Guo Jia's nose and eyes, an agreement was finally reached, and between this coming and going, half a month has passed, and the time has reached the end of July, and the time of the alliance is set for August 15, but although there is a Mid-Autumn Festival at this time, it will not be set as the official Mid-Autumn Festival until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
The day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of the full moon, is also the day of killing.
There is still more than half a month before the day of the alliance, but Ma Teng and the others have already been busy, Ma Teng ordered the craftsmen in the army to work overtime to make a big iron shield to prevent the terrifying crossbow of the Gongsun army.
As for Gongsun Bai's divine thunder, Han Sui also came up with a solution to it.
The power of the divine thunder lies not in the lethality of its explosion, but in its landslide and deafening sound, which is fatal to the cavalry, because the explosion will make the war horses chaotic and scurry.

For this reason, he experimented with plugging the horse's ear with cotton, so that no matter how loud the sound was, it would be difficult to enter the horse's ear, so as to avoid a riot in the horses, so that Gongsun Bai's divine thunder power would be greatly reduced.
After all the preparations are made, there will only be five days left on the day of the alliance, and the Xiliang army is about to start.
At the west gate of Jicheng, more than 90,000 Xiliang Jing rode solemnly, the flag was like a cloud, the armor was like snow, covering the entire sky, at a glance, the horse's head was like a wave, the sword halberd was erected like a forest, the murderous spirit was spreading, and the fighting spirit was monstrous.
Surrounded by Han Sui, Ma Chao and other generals, Ma Teng ascended to the main stage and made a passionate mobilization.
This battle is too important for the Xiliang Coalition Army, if you succeed, you will be the king, and if you lose, you will be the king, and if you lose, you may not be able to win.
After the mobilization was completed, Ma Teng personally led an army of 10,000 to cooperate with Han Sui, Ma Chao, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi, Li Kan and other generals to the northern foot of Liupan Mountain, while Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Yang Qiu and other Xiliang generals, mainly Ma Dai, led the army into the nameless valley, hidden near the mouth of the valley, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
There were more than 90,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Jicheng, and almost poured out, leaving only Liang Xing with 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend it.
A big war is on the verge of breaking out and waiting to be continued
