In the main tent of the Xiegu Military Camp.

Lu Bu and the generals are discussing the next military action.

Lu Bu was the first to say: "General Ma Chao is indeed brave. He united with the Xiliang Army to decisively capture Xiegu."

However, Lu Bu's words became more serious as he spoke. He changed the subject, then looked at Zang Ba and said, "Zang Ba, do you know your guilt?"

At this moment, Zang Ba hurriedly walked out of his seat, then knelt down on the ground, waiting for Lu Bu's punishment.

Lu Bu looked at this general who had fought with him, brother, and he didn't know how to punish him.

Lu Bu thought for a while, stood up, and then sat down again. At this moment, a scout hurried in and reported that Ma Teng's atrocities in Yong County, and now all the generals in the Sili region want to fight us to the death. Please give instructions to the general.

Down."

Lu Bu immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. If all the soldiers of Cao's army chose to fight them to the death, then they would attack city by city. It would be an endless attack and attack.

Lu Bu could only deal with Zang Ba first, and then deal with this difficult problem.

"Then we will punish General Zang Ba to stand guard for me for twelve days before he agrees. What do you think?"

All the generals turned their attention to the direction of Yong County and did not care about this matter. For a general who was born in death, asking himself to guard the city gate was definitely a humiliation, so this punishment was definitely

It was heavy, but in the end Zang Ba still took over Lu Bu's order.

After Zang Ba walked out of the military camp, Lu Bu asked: "Ma Teng, what should we do?"

At this time, Ma Chao stood up and said sternly: "Coach, Ma Teng is my father, leave this matter to me!"

Lu Bu looked at this young general. What he saw in his eyes was endless hope and trust, and then said: "Okay, we will leave it to you. The generals and I will wait for your news in the big tent."

Ma Chao also walked out of the tent, ordered about 3,000 troops and set off for Yong County.

At the foot of Yong County City.

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De led five thousand cavalry to the foot of Yong County. All they saw along the way was the strong wind whipping up the dust of the scorched earth, and countless dilapidated flags that were fluttering feebly in the wind.

The dead bodies were abandoned in the wilderness and no one cared about them. The wheat fields and roads were covered with the hoof prints of war horses...

The dirt-covered blood on the ground has long since been covered with sand and lost its bright color.

The mountains of piled corpses emit a rotting smell that attracts bed bugs.

Dark clouds slowly passed over this small county town, stripping away the little sunshine and making everything eclipsed.

Ma Dai asked: "Brother, do we really want to attack uncle?"

Ma Chao pulled his horse, looked at the smoke-filled Yongxian County, and replied: "Yes, we must ask your uncle and my father to return to Xiliang. Here he can only influence the princely hegemony of King Chu.

All the prestige of our Xiliang cavalry has been completely lost."

Pang De also asked suspiciously: "What does the general plan to do with the old general?"

Ma Chao asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Pound thought for a while, and then replied with some thought: "The old general led his troops to help in the battle at the invitation of the general, so we must not use force, and we must honor what we promised the old general.

"

Ma Chao looked at Pang De and praised: "He is indeed a wise and brave man. I plan to give a gift to my father this time. But remember, there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield. The target of our operation is not your old general.

Not your uncle, but one of our allies."

"yes."

Ma Chao ordered: "Ma Dai, after you enter the city, lead your troops into the Xiliang cavalry barracks and control them one after another in the barracks, especially the stables. Xiliang soldiers who lose their horses are not soldiers."

, Pang De, you give me all the captured supplies from the old general, and then we force him to retreat."

Ma Chao led Ma Dai and Pang De opened the gate of Yong County. The Xiliang soldiers on top of the city saw that it was Ma Chao, his major general, so they didn't take it seriously. Ma Chao easily entered the county seat of Yong County.

.

After entering the city, Ma Dai and Pang De went their separate ways, while Ma Chao went straight to the Yong County government office.

At this time, Ma Teng was still naked on the bed and lingering with the woman named Luzhu.

And the soldiers Ma Teng brought from Xiliang couldn't stop Ma Chao from forcing his way into Ma Teng's room.

Ma Chao kicked open the door and ordered the two soldiers behind him.

"Please bring General Ma Teng out for me."

Ma Chao exited the inner room and sat on a chair in the outside room. Since these two soldiers were soldiers recruited by Ma Chao in later places, these people did not know Ma Teng, they only knew Ma Chao.

The room began to become lively, with Lu Zhu screaming and Ma Teng yelling curses.

After a while, two soldiers pressed Ma Teng out of the inner room and yelled: "You bastard, you dare to arrest me, you want to rebel! Rebel, rebel."

Ma Chao stood up and said sternly: "General Ma Teng, please respect yourself, General Ma Teng."

"What did you call me? Call me General Ma Teng. I am your father."

The reason why Ma Teng was so arrogant was because he thought Yong County was in his hands.

Ma Chao stood up at this time, slowly walked to the door and said: "General Ma Teng, Ma Dai has taken control of your Xiliang military camp, and Pang De has also seized all the materials captured in this battle.

The county is already under the control of our army. If General Ma Teng is willing to choose to return to Xiliang now, I can consider leaving all these things to the general."

Ma Teng listened to Ma Chao's words and now felt a little doubtful.

While Ma Chao was talking, a soldier hurried in and saw Ma Chao and Ma Teng were there.

Ma Chao saw that it was his old butler Ma Hong. Ma Hong asked in surprise: "The young general is here too, what's going on?"

Ma Hong was a little surprised when he saw Ma Teng being pushed to the ground. Ma Teng asked anxiously: "If there's something wrong, tell me quickly!"

Ma Hong looked at Ma Chao, who was his major general, so he had no choice but to say, "General, I didn't know that that kid Ma Dai actually took the courage of a leopard and occupied our military camp, and there was also Pound's Xi

General Liang has captured all our supplies."

When Ma Teng heard this, he was really sure that Ma Chao had really done this.

Ma Teng was immediately discouraged and fell to the ground. Ma Hong also interceded for Ma Teng, and Ma Chao finally came up with his own plan.

"As long as you lead your troops out of the Sili area and return to Xiliang, I will return all the supplies to you and ask you to take them back to Xiliang. If..."

Ma Teng asked eagerly: "If I am willing, what do you want?"

"I will detain all your supplies, disband all Xiliang soldiers and horses on the spot, and I will send you a gift to Xiliang."

"You have disbanded all my soldiers and horses, how can I gain a foothold in the Xiliang area in the future?..."

In the end, Ma Teng chose to return to Xiliang after weighing the pros and cons. When Ma Teng left, he actually asked to take Lu Zhu, his newly recognized son, and his daughter away, and Ma Chao agreed.

The outskirts of Yong County.

In the cold wind, Ma Teng's army has begun to leave northward one after another. Everyone of them is rich and rich and returns with a full load.

Ma Chao took him one step after another, and finally stopped at a beach next door.

Ma Chao dismounted his horse, bowed and apologized, saying: "Father, I'm sorry, I have to apologize to you."

Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao, at the son who was still babbling in front of him in the past, and now the young general who defeated him.

"General Ma Chao, did you make any mistake? It was me who was wrong, and my Xiliang cavalry was not strong enough."

Ma Chaoyue became more and more displeased when he heard this. He knelt down with a plop, and tears suddenly came to his eyes.

However, he still held back his tears.

Ma Teng finally pulled out his sword, then cut off his shirt, and then said with a slight anger: "General Ma Chao, General Ma, we cut our robes and sever our ties today. From now on, we will no longer be father and son. What we will see in the future

Just rivals on the battlefield."

Then Ma Teng whipped and walked away. Ma Chao looked at the horse's hooves in the distance, but the tears suppressed in his eyes remained silently.

Ma Dai, who was behind him, originally wanted to step forward to persuade his eldest brother, but Pang De stopped him. Pang De told Ma Dai that at this time, only the general can bear it, and let Ma Chao bear it quietly. Ma Chao will bear the responsibility in the future.

The legion will no longer be a member of the Xiliang legion, they will become a rootless weed.

Ma Teng walked quietly on the road astride his horse. The old butler next to him also tried to persuade him: "Master, that's not what the young master meant. I'm afraid the young master is also in trouble!"

Ma Teng didn't say a word. Just like that, Ma Teng and Ma Hong walked through the city. Ma Teng said lightly, "I only have Ma Tie and another son named Ma Xiu."

Ma Teng pointed to his trusted son who was behind the car tent.

From then on, Ma Chao and Ma Teng'en broke off their feud, which was also the main reason for the dispute in Xiliang and laid a seed for the subsequent war in Xiliang.

The gate of Xiegu Military Camp.

The three thousand cavalry led by Ma Chao also marched to the military camp step by step, without saying a word along the way, because he did not know whether this was wrong or right.

When Ma Chao was about to walk to the military camp, he suddenly saw Lu Bu leading the generals to greet him at the door.

When Ma Chao saw that Lu Bu had set up a five-way greeting formation to greet him, which was the highest standard among soldiers, he quickly dismounted his horse and ran over, feeling ashamed that he did not dare to do so.

Lu Bu persuaded Ma Chao that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, so he can be the most loyal and filial man in the world.
