    Ma Teng took his two sons, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, and three hundred guards. Three days later, he left Chencang and headed for Yecheng.

    All the way to the east, they walked very slowly.  It was early winter, and the entire Guanzhong Road was desolate.

    Although Ma Teng has put life and death aside, he still feels a little uneasy in his heart.  Cao Cao asked him to go to Xudu last time, but he didn't go.  Because he was worried that after arriving in Xudu, he would not be able to see His Majesty at all and would be killed by Cao Cao.

    He is not afraid of death, but there is no point in dying like that.  He is not afraid of dying for His Majesty or for the imperial court.  He didn't regret the clothing and belt edict either.

    This time, with His Majesty¡¯s imperial edict, he just wanted to see Your Majesty, then everyone would know that he, Ma Teng, had served as an official in Dahonglu.

    But what if Cao Cao prevents him from reaching the palace?  Among the princes in the world, he is the weakest. Is it necessary for Cao Cao to use this method to get rid of him?

    Ma Teng felt uneasy.

    "Father, Yicheng is ahead!" Matthew, who was riding abreast, broke the silence.

    "OhXicheng" Ma Teng retracted his chaotic thoughts.

    Yicheng was originally the land of Fengyi County in Yongzhou, but now it has long belonged to Cao Cao and was merged into Jingzhao Yin.  The last time he sent out troops, although it was under the banner of attacking Chang'an, Ma Teng thought that he could just recapture Feng Yi County.

    However, Zhang Ji and Zhong Yao were much more powerful than he imagined, so they lost their troops and returned without success.

    "Let the soldiers stop!"

    "No!" Matthew immediately asked the soldier to stop.

    Ma Teng looked back at the official road, filled with emotions. As soon as he entered Yecheng, he didn't know when he could come back, and he didn't know if he could come back alive!

    After a while, a look of determination flashed across Ma Teng's face.

    ¡°Let¡¯s set off and enter Yicheng!¡±

    "No!" Ma Xiu immediately urged his horse to the front, letting three hundred guards surround Ma Teng and head towards Yicheng!

    Soon, the city wall appeared in the distance.  But at this moment, Ma Teng vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves.

    "Stop!" Ma Teng shouted.

    ¡°Father, what happened?¡±

    "Horse horses, horse irons, I heard the sound of horse hooves from behind. Look, who is coming?"

    "The sound of horse hooves?" Ma Xiu looked at Ma Tie, who was also puzzled, "Father, where is the sound of horse hooves?"

    "Right in the back is the sound of the hoofbeats of our Xiliang war horses!" Ma Teng looked very confident.

    At this time, several experienced veterans lay down and pressed their ears tightly to the ground.

    "General, there is indeed the sound of horse hooves!"

    Although Matthew and Ma Tie were surprised, they no longer had any doubts at this time.  So Matthew led a dozen soldiers and rode fast horses back along the original road.

    After a while, they came back with a puff of dust, but there was Ma Dai in the crowd!

    "Uncle"

    Ma Dai was covered in dust and looked extremely anxious, but after seeing Ma Teng, he seemed relieved and quickly turned over and dismounted.

    "Bojan, why are you here? What happened?"

    Seeing Ma Dai, Ma Teng was full of doubts.  He left Chencang and handed over all his soldiers to his son Ma Chao. Ma Chao was superb in martial arts and had been familiar with military books and strategies since he was a child. Logically speaking, he should be at ease.  It's just that because Ma Chao is in Xiliang and has no opponents, he is inevitably proud and sometimes appears to be impulsive.  Although Ma Dai is not as good as Ma Chao in martial arts, he has a calm personality and is cautious in doing things. He should not let Ma Dai assist Ma Chao.

    Now Ma Dai is rushing to catch up with them, obviously something happened.

    "Uncle, Liu Cong, the shepherd of Jingzhou, sent a letter. He must read it and decide whether to go to Yecheng after reading it!" Ma Dai said as he took out a letter and handed it to Ma Teng.

    "A letter from Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Cong?" Ma Teng took the letter and frowned.

    From Ma Dai¡¯s words, it is not difficult to see that Liu Cong, the shepherd of Jingzhou, already knew about it, and his majesty asked him to go to Yecheng to become a great leader.

    Logically speaking, His Majesty¡¯s imperial edict is for him. Why would Liu Cong know about it?  And even if he knew, why would he write to himself?  Could it be that there is really a conspiracy here?

    Amidst the anxiety, Ma Teng slowly opened the letter.

    The letter was not long, but Ma Teng looked at it for a long time. There were beads of sweat on his forehead and his face became increasingly ugly.

    "Uncle, what did Liu Zhoumu say in the letter?" Ma Dai asked softly.

    "Bo Zhan, look" Ma Teng handed the letter to Ma Dai.

    "Three horsesSame slot!  "Ma Dai was very puzzled. Liu Cong's letter only said that Cao Cao had a dream about three horses in the same trough, and then summoned Ma Teng to Beijing, telling Ma Teng to be cautious.

    "Father, what does it mean to have three horses in the same trough?" Matthew also asked in surprise.

    "This means that Cao Cao's hegemony will be swallowed up by three people with the surname Ma!" Ma Teng explained gently, and at the same time he was thinking that in terms of ambition and ambition, he had the ambition to be a prince.  But he has not yet unified the world because he is self-aware.  Cao Cao is the hero of the north, many times more powerful than him. How could he swallow up Cao Cao's hegemony?  He couldn't even think about it!

    Another reason why he dared to go to Yecheng was that he would not pose a threat to Cao Cao.

    But it¡¯s different now. Cao Cao had such a dream, so he wouldn¡¯t let the person named Ma go.  Even if he behaves mediocrely and shows that he has no intention of competing for the world, Cao Cao will only think that he is hiding his strength and biding his time, and he cannot let it go.

    You must know that such a dream is definitely a sign, no one else would dare not believe it!

    "Uncle, then let's"

    "Go back to Chencang!"

    Although Ma Teng is not afraid of death, he is not willing to die like this.  Because even if they die, Cao Cao will not let go of their Ma family.  There are three people in a crowd. There are so many people with the surname of Ma, and they are princes in one area, not just Ma Teng, but the entire Xiliang Ma family.  Now the only option is to go back immediately and prepare to fight Cao Cao.

    "No!"

    Ma Teng sighed. From then on, the Ma family and Cao Cao were at odds with each other.

    Hanzhong, the Prefecture of Nanzheng City.

    Since receiving His Majesty¡¯s order, Liu Bei and all the civil and military personnel under his command have been very excited.

    After capturing Hanzhong, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also had a little worry, that is, what if Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, sent someone to take over Hanzhong?  It is absolutely impossible to give up Hanzhong to Liu Zhang.  But if they don't give it, Liu Zhang will fall out with them and send an army to attack Hanzhong.

    Although they have many soldiers and horses under their command now, these soldiers are either soldiers and horses from Yizhou or surrendered soldiers from Hanzhong, so their combat effectiveness will be greatly affected when they actually fight.  It will take time to truly turn them into his subordinates!

    What's more, if Liu Zhang moves, Liu Cong will definitely move, Cao Cao and Sun Quan may move, Hanzhong is a battleground for military strategists!

    Now, with the emperor's decree, if Liu Zhang wants to send troops again, it will be treason!  The same goes for Liu Cong, they are all members of the Han clan!

    As for Cao Cao and Sun Quan, they will not send troops easily.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
