Ma Teng also smiled after hearing Han Sui's words.
He could tell what Han Sui's words meant.
After all, if the crusade is really successful, they will definitely have to return to serve in the court if they obtain such a general position, and their Xiliang army will either be handed over to their subordinates or disbanded.
There is no other way.
This is undoubtedly a rise and fall, when the time comes After hearing the conditions proposed by Han Sui, Ma Teng knew that Han Sui wanted to make the two of them the real masters of Xiliang.
Besides, these are troubled times and being a local It is much better to be a local overlord than to be a high official in the court.
Ma Teng blinked and looked at Han Sui, who was looking over at him, and nodded, indicating that he had understood what he meant.
Then he sat upright, looked at the messenger who was waiting for Ma Teng below with a serious expression, and said with a heavy tone. : "What General Han said is exactly what I meant.
If your master is willing, we will agree to send troops to destroy the two bandits who occupied Chang'an."
The messenger looked a little embarrassed after listening to Ma Teng's words.
He thought about it for a moment, then bowed to Ma Teng and said softly: "This matter is of great importance.
I have to go back to Chang'an to discuss it with the master.
If If Master agrees, I will come to Wuwei again to discuss with General Ma."
"Okay, sir, please hurry back to Chang'an.
I, Mr.
Ma, am here to wait for the good news from sir."
Ma Teng's face was still so serious, and he said to the darkened messenger underneath.
"Excuse me."
The messenger saw that Ma Teng had issued an order to expel him, so he had no choice but to stay.
So he had to salute Ma Teng, and then exited the tent directly, preparing to pack up and return to Chang'an to report to his master. .
"Finally sent this guy away, Wenyue, it's a good thing you were smart, otherwise you would have been betrayed by that guy."
Ma Teng looked at Han Sui, who was smiling across from him, and said to him with some joy.
"I'm afraid, Brother Shoucheng, you have also seen this clue, but you just don't want to say it."
Han Sui looked at Ma Teng who admired him so much, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he said haha Ma Teng said.
"How do you explain this?"
Ma Teng looked a little surprised after hearing Han Sui's words and asked Han Sui in confusion.
"If you have been bribed by such a high-ranking official, why did you send someone to invite me here?"
Han Sui looked at Ma Teng's surprised look and shook his head.
If Ma Teng was really bribed by such a high-ranking official, How could he be asked to come to discuss this matter if he was attracted by his salary but couldn't see the flaws in this high-ranking official's salary?
"Stop talking about this, brother Wenyue, try this fire-roasted lamb.
It's absolutely delicious."
After hearing Han Sui's words, Ma Teng just smiled without refuting, and then pointed with his finger at the lamb being grilled in the middle, his expression He said with some joy, waved his hand and ordered the guards to call a few cooks.
The cook came in from outside the tent, holding a knife in his hand, and took down the lamb that was on the fire rack.
Then he removed the meat from the bones of the lamb and put it in a basin, and then brought it to Han Sui and his men. .
Han Sui looked at the lamb that was brought over, and then looked at the lamb in front of Ma Teng.
Seeing that Ma Teng had already eaten a piece of lamb, he lowered his guard and slowly put the lamb in his plate.
In the mouth.
"This tastes really good.
This lamb must be a sheep specially brought from the grassland.
The meat is extremely delicious.
From the looks of it, this sheep is only two or three months old."
Although Han Sui didn't eat much lamb, he still Someone who knows something about lamb, The lamb meat he ate into his mouth was extremely soft, but the flexibility contained a lingering tenderness.
This soft meat was definitely not a lamb raised by his own family, but a lamb raised on the grassland.
Otherwise, otherwise It won't have such good toughness.
"Wen Yue, you really know a lot about this.

The high priest of the Qiang people specially sent this lamb meat.
They sent me three hundred lambs.
Wen Yue, do you think this lamb is still fresh and tender?"
Ma Teng nodded after listening to Han Sui's analytical words, then pointed to the lamb on the plate and told Han Sui its origin.
"This lamb turned out to be the high priest of the Qiang tribe.
It was sent here specially.
It seems that the Qiang tribe may have some conspiracy this time."
Han Sui listened to Ma Teng's words with a wry smile, and then ate another piece of lamb on the plate with a pale expression on his face.
He asked Ma Teng with a smile.
"It's not even a conspiracy, but the high priest of the Qiang tribe has some requirements from me."
Ma Teng looked at the lamb on his plate and said to Han Sui opposite him with a wry smile.
"Oh, there is still a request.
Why don't you tell me what it is?"
Han Sui suddenly became interested after hearing Ma Teng's wry smile, so he asked Ma Teng with a smile.
"Today, the weather is very cold.
The Qiang people definitely don't have any extra food.
They specially sent these three hundred lambs so that I could turn a blind eye."
Ma Teng looked at the man with a smile on his face with a heavy expression.
Han Sui said, with a hint of resentment in his tone.
"They actually made such a request, Shoucheng, have you agreed to their request?"
Han Sui looked at Ma Teng's heavy expression.
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but just in case, he still asked Ma Teng.
Teng asked.
"What kind of person am I, Ma Teng?
How could I agree to such a request?
However, the Qiang envoy still left these three hundred lambs here.
It seems that they will not give up."
Ma Teng said indignantly.
Even his face turned rosy.
After hearing Ma Teng's indignant words, Han Sui's face suddenly darkened, and he closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Shou Cheng, I'm afraid you're calling me here for this purpose.
Do you want to start a war with the Qiang people?"
Han Sui opened his eyes after a while and asked Ma Teng while he was patrolling.
"Of course, it's just that I only have 30,000 troops in my hands now.
I heard that Brother Wenyue also has 30,000 troops.
Why don't we two join forces to give the Qiang a painful blow?"
Ma Teng looked at Han Sui.
He said to Han Sui with a very excited expression.
"Shoucheng, do you know that the Qiang people have a total of 100,000 troops, and our two sides only have 60,000 troops combined.
Although the two sides are not considered to have a huge disparity in military strength, if we rashly start a war with the Qiang people, I'm afraid It's not good for us either."
Han Sui originally wanted to scold Ma Teng, but seeing Ma Teng's expression as if he really wanted to fight this battle, he had no choice but to persuade Ma Teng from the perspective of rational analysis.
"How can the soldiers of the Qiang people be the opponents of our Xiliang athletes?
As long as Brother Wenyue is willing, we will definitely defeat the Qiang people."
After hearing Han Sui's objectionable words, Ma Teng's face suddenly darkened, and then he tried his best to persuade him. .
"Let me think for three days.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
After three days, I will definitely give Shoucheng an answer."
Han Sui looked at Ma Teng constantly persuading him, and suddenly felt annoyed.
He didn't want to mess with the Qiang people, and he didn't want to mess with Ma Teng either.
After all, the two of them were still allies, and the matter of the two of them joining forces to fight against the Qiang tribe was considered a big deal and needed to be considered, so I had no choice but to say this to Ma Teng.
"Well, I'll ask someone to prepare a few bedrooms for Brother Wenyue.
Brother Wenyue will think about it carefully."
Ma Teng saw Han Sui saying this, and had no choice but to sigh helplessly and said to Han Sui.
"Then you will have a long life."
Han Sui saluted Ma Teng, and then continued to eat the lamb and Hu pancakes on the plate.
The banquet was over soon, and Han Sui was led to the room by Ma Teng's guards, while Ma Teng and his son Ma Chao were still sitting in the big tent.
"Father, I think Han Sui doesn't want to send troops at all.
Why are you still keeping it?
Why don't you just go down and annex his tribe?"
Ma Chao was like a middle-aged young man who was always shouting for death.
He looked at the man sitting there with an angry look on his face.
Ma Teng shouted from the main seat.
Ma Teng sat in the main seat, and his thoughts became even more chaotic when he heard Ma Chao shouting like this.
"Even if we kill him now, Han Sui's men will never give up.
Now that Xiliang has finally settled down, I don't want Xiliang to endure the flames of war again."
Ma Teng shook his head at Ma Chao and directly denied it.
Ma Chao's suggestion
