The teenager is very arrogant

Chapter 247 Ma Shoucheng!Surrender to Cao Cao
Cao Ren sent his soldiers to Cao Cao earlier. Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "Your son is a true tiger general! I am a filial son, and I am the general of Jin Luzhen, and I will be awarded the capital of Tinghou."

Then he asked Guo Jia what to do on the western front.

Guo Jiadao: "Although Ma Teng was wounded, Xiliang is very fierce. If we forcibly kill them all, the Xiliang army will stand firm and defend, which will be disadvantageous to our army. Why don't you take advantage of this and recruit Ma Teng?"

"Haha! The words of filial piety are very agreeable to me! I am thinking about how to recruit Ma Teng."

"Your Majesty, I will ask Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Chao, to be General Fubo, order Ma Teng and his sons to come to Xudu together, pay homage to His Majesty, teach him to put Ma Chao under house arrest, and restrain Ma Chao, Xiliang can be settled."

Cao Cao was very kind, so he wrote an edict and sent soldiers to Wu County to surrender.

After Ma Teng was injured, misfortunes never come singly. Because he contracted the cold, he couldn't help worrying a lot.Ma Teng knew that although his eldest son Ma Chao was known for his bravery, he was still too young and energetic to be Cao Cao's opponent.Hearing that Cao Cao sent an envoy to surrender, Ma Teng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and called the envoy.

The envoy read out the imperial decree, and Ma Teng accepted the decree.

Ma Chao was very dissatisfied, Ma Teng told others to leave, leaving only Ma Chao and Pang De, and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, Zhao Zilin and Cao Cao have been fighting on both sides of the Yellow River for three years, but they have never attacked. Now the West Liang's army has been defeated in a row, Cao Ren's army is crushing in Wu County, Xiliang's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Zhao Xin is invincible, even if you and I defeat Cao Ren, so what can we do, ahem."

"Father!" Ma Chao anxiously supported Ma Teng.

Ma Teng said again: "Meng Qi, I know you have great ambitions in your heart, but a hero should follow the trend. Being a father is a living example. If I wait a few more years, there will be a battle between Zhao Xin and Cao Cao. At that time, it was my first day in Xiliang."

Ma Chao seems to understand.

Ma Teng looked at Pang De again, and said: "Ling Ming, Meng Qi is young and impulsive, you should persuade him more in the future."

Pound bowed his hand and didn't say much.

Ma Teng nodded, pointed at the table in the hall, and said, "Ling Ming, there is a hidden drawer under the table, take it here."

Pang De did as he said, took the hidden drawer, and handed it to Ma Teng with both hands. Ma Teng said: "There is a letter inside, open it and read it."

Pang De was ordered to take the letter and read: "My son Mengqi, my love will be opened and read by Ling Ming."

When Pang Defang read the letter, his eyes filled with tears. He could win such trust from his lord, and he would die without any regrets!

"I am attacking Cao Cao this time. I don't know whether I will win or lose, so I leave this message. Meng Qi is young and often frivolous, which makes me feel very uneasy. I have a big plan. I can call my Ma family and aspire to the world. Xiliang is in a corner, although The soldiers are capable and dedicated, but the food, grass, and baggage are not strong enough. I expect defeat, just like Gongsun Zan'er. If I are defeated, Meng Qi should go to Bingzhou and serve Zhao Xin in order to gain an eternal opportunity."

Pound closed the letter, Ma Chao knelt down and said, "My lord father!"

Ma Teng said: "Needless to say, Meng Qi, if I can survive this test, I may be able to support you for three to five years. During this time, if you can eat Sili or Yizhou, you can compete for the deer. If you can't, you can only go to Bingzhou. Zhao Xin has always loved talents, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are loyal to Yuan Shao, and Zhao Xin can tolerate them. If Meng gets up, he will definitely be reused!"

"Ahem..." At this point, Ma Teng coughed violently, and it took him a long time to recover, and said again: "Meng Qi, do you know what I said, the eternal fighter?"

Ma Chao shook his head, Ma Teng sighed in disappointment, and said, "You go out first."

Hearing this, Ma Chao had no choice but to get up and walk out the door, but he didn't know what his father and Pang De had said.Pang De just came out after about a stick of incense.

Ma Chao opened his mouth to ask, but he smiled wryly in astonishment, and Pang De said, "Brother, if you want to ask, just ask."

Ma Chao said: "Since Father didn't tell me, then I don't need to ask any more. I believe Ling Ming will tell me when the time comes."

Pound also laughed out loud.

The envoy returned to Xudu with dozens of members of the Ma family and told Cao Cao that Ma Teng was willing to surrender.

Cao Cao said, "Why is Ma Teng coming to the future?"

The messenger said: "Ma Teng is seriously injured and is suffering from wind and cold. He cannot move."

Guo Jia said: "Master, Ma Teng already has the heart to surrender, even if he doesn't come, it's all right."

"Why?" Cao Cao frowned, and then smiled again: "Yes, yes, but don't take it lightly. If the horse can't escape, let Zixiao stay in Wu County until Ma Shoucheng returns, or dies!"

"No!" The messenger took the order and left.

Cao Cao said to Guo Jia with a smile: "This Xin Zhao, with great fanfare, did not come to attack. Ma Teng was defeated. He has to think about how to deal with us, haha!"

Guo Jiadao: "Zhao Xin's navy has not yet achieved success. How dare he go south so easily and seek death?"

The two principals and ministers looked at each other and smiled, so they didn't mention it.

Xin Zhao also got the news of Ma Teng's return from Xiliang, sighed, and left Guan Yu and Zhang Liao to sit in Puyang and Liyang and return to Jinyang.

It is said that when Guan Yu led his troops to inspect the water level of the Yellow River, he suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from the reed swamps in the east. He raised his knife and looked at it. He saw a 17-year-old boy wearing a yellow scarf and brocade clothes, holding a gun and riding a horse. Bao Bao, fighting with a dozen strong men.

Guan Yu could tell at a glance that the dozen or so big men were bandits and strongmen. A dozen or so men besieged a young man. Guan Yu couldn't help being disdainful. and flee.

Guan Yu drove his horse up to him and said, "Who are you?"

The young man threw down his gun and got off his horse, bowed his hands and bowed to the ground, saying: "I am from Xiangyang, my surname is Liao Minghua, and my character is Yuanjian. I was exiled in the mountains and fields because of the troubled times. Today Liao Hua killed the leader of Jiluo's cottage. Just now, the dozen or so young people came here. The head of the gun."

"The leader of Jiluo Village?" Guan Gong murmured, remembering this place. This village was formerly known as Kui Nan Village, with more than 7000 bandits.After Guan Gong arrived, he personally led troops to suppress them. The leader Shi Long fled to Mount Jiluo, where he gathered four to five hundred bandits and committed many unrighteous deeds.

"The one you killed was Shi Long?" Liao Hua took off the wrap around his waist, unwrapped it, and said, "I don't know."

Guan Yu got off his horse and squinted at him, laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You Liao Hua, you are able to kill Shi Long, you must have a lot of skills, are you willing to join me in the army and make meritorious deeds?"

Liao Hua said: "General Lao loves you so much. When Liao Hua learned that General Meiran is here, I came here to join General Guan."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed heartily, and said, "Yuan Jian, who do you think I am?"

Liao Hua carefully recognized it, and said: "Could it be...the general atones for his sins!"

Guan Yu stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Follow me back and be a messenger in front of my tent."

"No!" Liao Hua responded loudly and followed Guan Yu's team, patrolling the Yellow River with Guan Yu.After half a stick of incense, it rained heavily and there was no one in sight. Guan Yu just returned to the camp.
