Chapter 271 Go Back
Although he felt helpless, Ma Teng could only be forced to accept the facts, but he still didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, so he discussed with his son Ma Chao, what should be done?
When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately said dissatisfied: "Yaoer said, my father made a big mistake this time. According to what I said at the beginning, when Liu He led the army to the outside of Chencang's city, when he was caught off guard At the same time, it would be great to directly lead the army to swarm up and kill him on the spot? As long as Liu He is dead, his power will surely collapse quickly, but we took the opportunity to reap the benefits, not only occupying his territory, but also accepting his civil servants The general, and even the beautiful concubines in his mansion, can be divided among our father and son. What a wonderful thing, but the father still cares about his reputation and won't let the child do anything. Now, okay? His mother and sister are with him every day, even if we attack him, we will never find a chance."

"What's the use of saying this now? It's useless even if you regret it for your father. Chao'er, you have to think of another way. Now that Liu He finally came, we can't miss this opportunity, just let him go for nothing. , besides, when I was a father, I made an appointment with your Uncle Han, if we can't kill Liu He, we will not fulfill our promise."

Ma Teng thought that these words would resonate with Ma Chao, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to sneer: "Did father really regard Han Sui as a sworn brother? When we fell out with each other, he didn't have the slightest affection for us. The boy was almost killed by Yan Xing, so he is just a tool we use to fight for hegemony in the world. Now we use Han Sui's power to deal with Liu He. Once Liu He's power is destroyed, what will happen between us and him? Therefore, we don't need to take special care of him at all. In my child's view, Liu He's death may be better than not dying. Father, think about it, we can actually put Liu He under house arrest in Chen Cang, and then force Liu He to die. He promised to give us food, grass and territory. In this case, all the benefits will be taken by us, and Han Sui dare not attack us, because we have Liu He as a hostage in our hands. As long as he dares to attack, we will force Liu He to send troops together. To deal with him, when our strength gradually grows, we will annex Liu He's forces first, and then force Han Sui to surrender, so that we will be the most powerful princes in the world."

"It turns out that you, Chao'er, have such ambitions, which is really rare." Ma Teng immediately praised Ma Chao's words.

But Ma Chao sneered and said, "Qin lost its deer, and the whole world pursued it. The current situation is also the same. Now that the princes are standing side by side, and the heroes are vying for the deer, we naturally cannot fall behind. As for the evaluation of right and wrong, it is all a joke. As long as We have achieved a great cause, and history will be written according to our will, and who will dare to make irresponsible remarks?"

"My son's words are justified. If that's the case, then we will do as you said, put Liu He under house arrest in Chencang, let him live a happy life for a while, and when the important people in Chang'an come, we will make demands on them. Ask You Fufeng to come over, and then gradually encroach on his territory."

Hearing this, Ma Teng was also full of pride, and laughed at Ma Chao.

In the days that followed, no one harassed Liu He and Ma Yunlu anymore. He and Ma Yunlu lived a happy two-person world.

During this period, Chen Dao and others went to the small courtyard arranged by Ma Teng to find Liu He several times, reminding Liu He that it was time to return to Chang'an, but each time they were stopped by the guards in the courtyard. It's not easy to rush in, so I have to wait anxiously.

Then suddenly one day, Fang Yue came in with a kit, and said to Chen Dao, "Boss Chen, since we obviously can't see the lord, we should go see you in secret. You know I'm good at digging." Authentic skills, so I suggest that we can dig tunnels secretly and use the tunnels to meet the lord."

"Why didn't I think of you? It seems that the reason why the lord brought you was to guard against this from the beginning. If that's the case, then we will follow what you said, dig a tunnel secretly, and then go to see the lord."

These few people did what they said, and they immediately started the process of digging the tunnel. It took only one day to successfully dig the tunnel to the small courtyard where Liu He lived, and then they quietly came to Liu He's small courtyard through the tunnel. , saw Liu He, and as soon as he saw Liu He, Pan Feng immediately said to Liu He: "My lord, you live a happy life, but brothers are all worried. Now Chang'an does not have you to preside over important events. Our I was very uneasy, Boss Chen came to see you several times, but he didn't see you, so we thought, did Ma Teng come and put you under house arrest? Then he is waiting to make conditions to us."

Liu He smiled lightly when he heard the words: "I already knew about this matter, but I was trying to use this trick to drive a wedge between Han Sui and Ma Teng. You can immediately notify Zhong Yuanchang and ask him to send someone to ask Ma Teng for me immediately. I believe that Ma Teng will definitely put forward conditions, and most of his conditions are for me to return You Fufeng, let's promise him, of course, before leaving You Fufeng, we must find a way to make relevant arrangements, and I will not More to say, I believe Yuan Chang will definitely get it done. As long as Ma Teng agrees to the conditions, there will be no reason to keep us anymore. Even if he is reluctant, he will have nothing to do. Returning You Fufeng in exchange for the vast territory of Liangzhou, this deal is very profitable."

Then these people left Liu He's small courtyard, and then Chen Dao immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhong Yao according to Liu He's request. Xianbei from Xinjiang avenged the Battle of Bailang Mountain and asked Liu He to go back immediately to preside over the overall situation.

Ma Teng really asked Zhong Yao to return You Fufeng to him. In fact, at first Ma Teng thought that Zhong Yao had to bargain anyway, but he didn't expect Zhong Yao to agree immediately, and immediately sent someone to You Fufeng to hand over to Ma Teng , Ma Teng was forced to this job, but had no choice but to agree to let Liu He go.

However, although Ma Teng had accepted You Fufeng and promised to let Liu He leave, he never took any action. Under such circumstances, Liu He took Ma Yunlu out quietly through the tunnel, and then slipped out at night. After arriving at Chencang City, he led a thousand Baihu army on the way back.

However, only in the morning of the next day, Ma Teng's people discovered that Liu He had escaped, and immediately reported to Ma Teng in shock. Ma Teng was also very anxious when he heard the news, and immediately sent his appointed You Fufeng Pang De to lead five thousand soldiers. When the cavalry went to intercept Liu He, they must stop Liu He, regardless of life or death.

Only one day later, Liu He was stopped by Pound's army.

"Husband, what should we do?" Looking at the huge momentum created by the five thousand cavalry on the opposite side, Ma Yunlu turned pale and asked nervously.
