Xiliang, Longxian.
Ma Chao threw out the bamboo note in his hand with some irritability, and walked back and forth in the room, while Pang De sat on the side, frowning lightly.
"Uncle De, what do you say is going on" After a while, Ma Chao finally couldn't bear the unspeakable dullness, and turned his head to look at Pang Dedao.
Now, almost the entire Xiliang is spreading the news that the imperial court wants to kill Ma Teng, which sounds ridiculous, but the rumors in the market are very clear-sighted, and even the people who were sent out to inquire about the news said that Chang'an was also talking about this matter.
Rumors are like this, one person said, don't believe it, two people say they don't believe it, but more and more people say it, no longer want to believe it in their hearts, they will be unconsciously swayed by these rumors, when everyone around is talking about this matter, even if Ma Teng stays when he leaves, Ma Chao still can't help but have doubts.
"The young general only needs to remember the instructions of the lord before leaving, and the rest of the things should not be moved lightly before the water is revealed."
Pound stood up, looked at Ma Chao and said in a deep voice.
"Do you think it will be Han Sui's old dog who spread rumors" Ma Chao looked at Pang De and made no secret of his disgust for Han Sui.
"Perhaps."
Pang De nodded, but he didn't believe that Han Sui could reach out to Chang'an, today's Chang'an is not the past, don't say Han Sui, any prince in the world, I'm afraid they don't have this ability, but at this time, in order to stabilize Ma Chao's emotions, let Han Sui carry this pot.
"This damn old thief" A cold look flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, perhaps he had already thought that Han Sui was making trouble behind his back, but at this moment, he was about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Pang De.
"The situation is unknown, and we have no evidence, no matter what Han Sui said, he is also Jincheng Taishou, and the division is unknown, so you can't attack rashly."
Pound said solemnly.
If you start a war with Han Sui at this stormy port, you will be at a disadvantage for yourself, and Ma Teng's side, no one can say for sure, if you don't move Han Sui, it can be regarded as leaving a way out for Ma Teng, this matter Pang De sees very clearly, as long as the imperial court fails to really control Xiliang for a day, Ma Teng will be worry-free for a day, if he turns against Han Sui at this time, then Ma Teng is dangerous.
"Then what now," Ma Chao said irritably.
"Handle internal affairs and train soldiers diligently."
Pound closed his eyes and thought.
"Where do you have this mind now," Ma Chao shook his head.
A guard outside the door hurriedly came in, bowed down and said, "Major General, Lu Song is back." ” "Quick, let him in" Ma Chao and Pang De's eyes lit up at the same time, this Lu Song, but Ma Teng's cronies, not only have high martial arts, but also are absolutely loyal to the Ma family.
"Major General, General Pang" After a while, Lu Song came in, and without waiting for the two to ask, he fell to his knees with a pop, buried his head on the ground, and did not dare to look at the eyes of the two.
"What's wrong" Seeing Lu Song's behavior like this, and then seeing that he was embarrassed, there were several cracks in the leather armor on his body, and he could see the scabbed wounds inside, which looked extremely hideous.
Lu Song was really crying at the moment, the moment he stepped into the hall, he had no way to turn back, the guilt caused by the betrayal, the worry about his wife and children, and the confusion about the future, all kinds of emotions have been pressing on his heart like a mountain since he left Chang'an.
"What happened to me" Ma Chao didn't care about anything else at the moment, grabbed Lu Song's neckline, and almost roared.
"The lord and the lord, and the son was killed by a traitor, and at this moment, he has not finished speaking, but he has been crying silently.
"Poof" Ma Chao's hand loosened, Lu Song fell to the ground, but Ma Chao himself stood in place in a daze, looking at the equally unbelievable Pang De on the side.
Pound had to calm down a little after all, and after being shocked, he looked at Lu Song and said in a deep voice: "What happened and tell me in detail." ” "General Hui" Lu Song choked a few times, at this moment the hurdle in his heart has been completely broken, and when he spoke, he also went a lot smoother, and said intermittently: "I don't know what happened, these days, Chang'an City has been spreading the story of the lord's intention to rebel, and the second prince was also quite ostracized in the martial arts hall, and then just five days ago, suddenly someone came back with the body of the second prince, and then the general's mansion was surrounded by a large group of tiger guards, and he wanted to take the lord, all over the door, and all of them were imprisoned, and the humble post hid in the cellar at that time, and survived, After they left, they quietly disguised themselves and prepared to go out of the city, but the next morning, the lord and the whole door were beheaded outside the city. ” Pang De was a little stunned for a while, but on the other side, Ma Chao was furious.
"Beigong Li" Outside the door, Beigong, who was accepted by Ma Chao as a personal guard general, left and said in a loud voice.
"Gather your soldiers and horses and prepare to go on the expedition" Ma Chao roared: "I want to wash Chang'an with blood and sacrifice my father's spirit in the sky" "Major General can't" Pang De finally reacted and hurriedly stopped him.
"Don't go soon" If it were a normal day, Pound's words might still be useful, but now, hearing that his father died tragically and his brother was killed for no reason, Ma Chao, who was furious, couldn't listen to anyone's words.
"Oh" Beigong Li recognized Ma Chao as the master, only listened to Ma Chao's words, and no longer paid attention to Pang De when he heard the words, and strode away.
"Alas" Pound couldn't help but sigh bitterly when he saw this.
"Uncle De" Ma Chao's eyes were already bloodshot, and he looked at Pang De at this moment, with an indifference in his scarlet eyes that he had never had before: "Father treats you like a brother, and I have always respected you, but now that my father is dead, do you want to stop me from avenging my father?"
"It's not about stopping."
Pang De looked at Ma Chao's expression, knowing that even if there were doubts in this, he couldn't listen to it, so he had to smile bitterly: "If someone really wants to murder the Ma family, how can they not guard against us and others, and rashly raise troops at this time, but they will take advantage of it." ” "Then how difficult it is, this revenge will not be avenged," Ma Chao said angrily.
"It's not that I don't report it."
Pang De thought for a while and said: "But the division needs to be famous, and the major general should determine the name first." ” "Isn't it enough to avenge my father," Ma Chao said coldly.
"Of course it's not enough, this time the son wants to attack Chang'an, that is, to attack the Son of Heaven, no matter how big the reason, it is the following offense."
Pound rubbed his temples and thought, "So, we have to think of a reason, and we can't let people say that we have committed a crime." ” "Then what should I do" Ma Chao was angry and said in a deep voice.
"The lord was harmed by a traitor, but this traitor must not be the Son of Heaven, so we will take the side of the Qing monarch and avenge the loyal ministers as the reason, go out of Longguan and take Guanzhong directly."
Pound pondered, this is an old routine, although Pound is not a strategist, he can also see it.
"Why bother so much, that little emperor, he may not have any good intentions," Ma Chao snorted coldly.
"This is the minister's festival, even if the Son of Heaven is not, if he is a minister, he can't commit it, otherwise he will give the princes of the world an excuse, and when the time comes, even if we take the entire Guanzhong, we will face the crusade of the princes of the world."
Pang De pondered: "It's better to follow that Dong Zhuo and bring the Son of Heaven to order the princes."
After all, the military general is a military general, if the real adviser is here, he will not say that he will order the princes with the Son of Heaven, but the side of the Qing monarch, and the princes will be ordered by the Son of Heaven, although it is only a word difference, but the meaning of it is thousands of miles away, but as far as a military general is concerned, it is good to be able to think of this.
"Okay, today, I'll do what Dong Zhuo didn't finish."

Ma Chao said ruthlessly.
"In addition, our army has less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the Qiang people of all departments should be conscripted to participate in the war to strengthen their prestige, and the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first."
Pound paced back and forth and said: "With the grain and grass that our army is now stocking, I'm afraid it is not enough. ” "Then grab some, those Qiang people, who have been blessed by my Ma family for a long time, should ask them for it at this moment" Ma Chao snorted coldly.
"No," Pang De hurriedly shook his head and said: "This will only attract a backlash from the Qiang people, and even resistance." ” "They dare" Ma Chao snorted coldly, slapped the table, and said senran.
"Why don't you dare" Pang De shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The Qiang people repeatedly, in the final analysis, it is all for food, although we have our blessing, but over the years, the Qiang people have paid taxes every year, which is already heavy, and this time we are asking for the Qiang people, not only are they not allowed to use heavy profits, but they are exploited, that is, they are afraid of the prestige of the young general, and they are afraid that they will not be willing to drive for me, and at the critical time, it will be a big thing." ” "Why don't you borrow food from Na Wellon."
Ma Chao said senran: "He is the history of the Western Liang, and this time he just forced him to express his position." ” Although Ma Teng and Han Sui are the warlords of Xiliang, Xiliang also respects the two, but in terms of official positions, the position of assassin is Wei Kang, but the two of them have hollowed out their rights, and they don't have much military power.
"This" Pound nodded and said, "It's okay, but you can leave him first, invite him to conspire with great things, and if he doesn't want to, he will attack him." ” "That's a good idea."
Ma Chao nodded.
"In addition, I am the only one, I'm afraid that I can't catch it, that Hedong Baibo, who also hated the Son of Heaven in the past, can invite him to fight together."
"Okay, then I'll send someone to say."
Ma Chao nodded again, the anger in his heart calmed down a little with Pound's words, of course the hatred could not be eliminated, but in his mind, he was much calmer.
"But this matter should be resolved quickly, otherwise Xu Huang and Huangfu Song, who are stationed in the Hetao, will not stand idly by."
Pound said in a deep voice.
"It's nature."
Ma Chao nodded fiercely, he is now eager to fly to Chang'an and wash the blood of those enemies one by one.
"Report" Just as the two were discussing, a personal guard rushed in and intervened: "Major General, there is Han Sui's account Cheng Gongying asking to see." ” "No" Ma Chao was already upset, and when he heard Han Sui's envoy coming over at this moment, how could he have the heart to talk nonsense with him.
"Wait."
Pound's heart moved, he looked at the guards and said, "Let him in." ” t1706231537:
