    Cao Cao always kept the agreement with Liu Ke in mind and did not dare to default on it.  Now he was eager to get out of Liu Ke's sight, how could he do anything inappropriate again.

    So, before Cao Cao returned to Chang'an, he sent people to hurry up and release Ma Teng with a warrant.

    Ma Teng, who originally thought he would die this time, walked out of the prison with a lot of emotions.

    "Thank you, Marquis Dongyang. If it weren't for Marquis Dongyang, how could the Prime Minister be open to you?" the messenger sneered.

    Ma Teng bowed to the east and was sent out of the city by his guards.

    After learning that Ma Teng was released, Ma Chao rushed out of the military camp and met Ma Teng.

    "Father! Are you okay?" Ma Chao said excitedly.

    "Thanks to Marquis Dongyang, I'm safe and sound." Ma Teng explained the process, which made Ma Chao sigh.

    Ma Chao sent troops as agreed, just to rescue his father, but this time he did not help. Instead, he owed Dongyang Hou a favor.

    After all, he did not capture Chang'an and did not pose a great threat to Chang'an. Cao Cao also did not send reinforcements to support Chang'an.

    Therefore, Ma Chao felt a little ashamed.

    "I will definitely repay Dongyang Ge's kindness."

    "It's good to repay a favor," Ma Teng said.

    Ma Teng is a descendant of Ma Yuan, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. By his generation, he no longer has the grace of his ancestors.

    "However, tutoring has never fallen behind.

    Ma Teng¡¯s father¡¯s family was poor, so he married a Qiang girl and gave birth to Ma Teng.  Ma Teng grew up in poverty and had no resources to rely on, so he developed a strong character.

    This point also has a great impact on Ma Chao.

    When Ma Chao was born in 176, Ma Teng had not yet made a fortune. He was still "poor and without property. He often cut wood from the mountains of Zhang and sold it to the city to provide for himself."

    Simply put, it means cutting firewood and selling it to support the family.

    "Father, let's go back to Liangzhou." Ma Chao said excitedly.

    However, Ma Teng poured a basin of cold water on him and said, "We dare not leave Chang'an until our great cause is accomplished."

    "Father, Chang'an is a dangerous place. If you fail to save Emperor Xian this time, Cao Cao must be wary. In the current situation, what's the use of staying in Chang'an?" Ma Chao was anxious and his tone was a little offensive.

    But Ma Teng didn't take it seriously and said, "If the Han Dynasty is not prosperous, what's the use of returning to Liangzhou?"

    Ma Teng made his fortune in the first year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in this year. The world was in chaos. The Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou were very dissatisfied with the imperial court and also caused turmoil.

    Among them, Han Sui was the biggest rebel, and once led the rebels to fight near Chang'an.

    The famous generals at that time, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian, all participated in the crusade against this rebellion.

    Although they repelled the rebel invasion of Chang'an, they could not completely eliminate the rebels in Longxi.

    At that time, Zhang Jiao was the imperial court¡¯s number one enemy.

    Therefore, the imperial court allowed the local governor of Longxi to organize an army to exterminate the rebels.

    Just like Liu Bei and others joined the army to annihilate the Yellow Turbans, Ma Teng also joined the army at this time. Due to his bravery in combat, he was favored by Liangzhou Governor Geng Bi and was continuously promoted.

    Ma Teng is very lucky!

    Geng Bi was killed on the way to attack Han Sui, and most of the state and county officials died in the battle.

    Ma Teng became the spokesperson of the government in Liangzhou, with military power in his hands.

    Because he was dissatisfied with the actions of the ten permanent servants, Ma Teng began to listen to the instructions but not the propaganda. Later, he directly rebelled, formed an alliance with Han Sui, and took control of Liangzhou.

    However, Ma Teng still has great feelings for the Han Dynasty.

    When Cao Cao sent Zhong Yao to Liangzhou to recruit troops, Ma Teng agreed.

    Later, Ma Teng discovered that the court was different from what he imagined.

    Since Cao Cao had Emperor Xian in his hands, he had "held the emperor to order the princes" and exercised arbitrary power without regard for the emperor at all.

    When Xu Tian was hunting, Cao Cao even arbitrarily used the emperor's special arrows. After shooting his prey, he stood up in front of the emperor and openly accepted the "Long Live" call from the officials.

    Ma Teng was disappointed.

    Later, Dong Cheng accepted Emperor Xian's commission and wanted to deal with Cao Cao, but he was alone, without soldiers and power, and could not do anything.

    Ma Teng is a feudal official with a large number of troops. If he can be roped in, then the possibility of killing Cao Cao will be high.

    After a series of trials, Ma Teng joined Dong Cheng's camp to help Emperor Xian take power.

    After Dong Cheng died,Ma Teng did not give up and became one of the ministers closest to Emperor Xian.

    Gradually, Emperor Xian often complained to Ma Teng. Ma Teng felt aggrieved and his blood boiled at the same time.

    If Cao Cao can be eliminated and the emperor can be supported, the Ma family will surely be able to move to a higher level.

    Although Ma Teng is half Qiang, he was educated by the Han people and his loyalty to the emperor is deeply ingrained.

    Later, Ma Teng discovered that it was impossible to get rid of Cao Cao. Even in Chang'an, Cao Cao had hundreds of guards every time he traveled.

    Only then did he change his mind and rescue Emperor Xian from Chang'an.

    One of the reasons why Ma Teng refused to leave was that he and Emperor Xian had a very deep relationship. During this time, they had become close friends.

    However, Ma Chao couldn't understand and said: "Father, Liangzhou is our foundation!"

    "Meng Qi, Liangzhou will be handed over to you from now on." Ma Teng said.

    "But father, Han Sui is so aggressive that I can't do it without you!" Ma Chao said.

    Ma Teng was an enemy of Han Sui when he was an official in Liangzhou. Later, he rebelled and became brothers with Han Sui. The two controlled Liangzhou together.

    ?? Later, Ma Teng entered the court as an official, and Han Sui also had an eye with Cao Cao.

    After Liangzhou temporarily stabilized, the relationship between the two families broke down.

    In order to compete for the position of Liangzhou boss, small conflicts continued.

    "Han Sui's illness is just a minor illness. I believe you can handle it," Ma Teng said.

    Ma Chao sighed. During this period, he worked hard to save his father, and gave up some benefits in order to stabilize Han Sui.

    Now this is the result, which is unacceptable.

    "Meng Qi, as long as you are strong enough, Cao Cao will not dare to harm me." Ma Teng said.

    "Father, I will definitely do it." Ma Chao said.

    "If Cao Mengde threatens my life, remember not to agree." Ma Teng warned.

    Ma Chao didn¡¯t want to agree at first, but seeing Ma Chao¡¯s bright eyes, Ma Chao couldn¡¯t refuse.

    "Yes, father."

    Ma Teng patted Ma Chao on the shoulder and said, "Meng Qi, I will leave the heavy responsibility of Liangzhou to you."

    "Father, don't worry!" Ma Chao said calmly.

    "Dai'er is brave and careful, so he doesn't have to follow me and stay in Liangzhou to help you." Ma Teng said.

    Ma Dai was in Chang'an and could not be reused. In order not to bury his talent, Ma Teng decided to entrust it to Ma Chao.

    Ma Dai is also a member of the family and is trustworthy.

    "Thank you, father!" Ma Chao said, he also needed help.

    Ma Teng explained some things carefully, then said goodbye to Ma Chao and returned to Chang'an.

    This move is surprising.

    Cao Ren said: "Marquis Huaili is very courageous."

    "Chang'an is prosperous, but Xiliang is bitter and cold. I don't want to suffer." Ma Teng said calmly.

    The happiest thing is that Emperor Xian, Ma Teng was not executed and came back.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
