Chapter 112

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, but before he could speak, he heard Ma Teng shout: "Boy, if you dare to hurt my son, I swear I will never break up with you!"

"Old hero, don't panic," Yuan Tan smiled, and said flatly, "Your junior won by luck, how dare you embarrass the young general?"

Having said that, he turned his head, his eyes fell on Ma Chao, and he said with a smile: "Yuan just said that he is willing to marry Jinlan with the Major General, but I don't know the Major General..."

Hearing this, Ma Teng was skeptical, and couldn't help asking: "Is there any other request?"

Yuan Tan's smile remained undiminished, and he said in a deep voice, "I have nothing else to ask, but I wish to be a brother of the opposite sex with the Major General."

Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Ma Chao, and whispered: "My son, what do you think?"

"He won..." Ma Chao turned pale and gritted his teeth: "I...I must obey his orders..."

Ma Teng was stunned, not knowing how to comfort his beloved son, but he heard Pang De coming closer and said respectfully: "Don't worry, young general. I see that Mr. Yuan has unrivaled martial arts skills and is very heroic. If we can become sworn brothers with the young general, Jinlan, It’s a good story…”

Before Pound finished speaking, Ma Chao's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, how can I take it to heart? It's just... I really don't know how many people like Mr. Yuan are left in this world. Not worried?"

Yuan Tan had sharp ears, and after hearing Ma Chao's words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "The major general's martial arts skills are unsurpassed, beyond the reach of others, and I admire him very much."

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Yuan Tan stopped his smile and said seriously: "Why should I lie to you?"

"Okay then, I will swore my sworn vows to you right now!"

As he said that, Ma Chao rushed forward, grabbed Yuan Tan's arm, and asked sincerely, "May I ask Mr. Yuan, how old is this year?"

How old are you?
This kid is really quite innocent.

Yuan Tan's thoughts turned, and he asked, "How old is the young general?"

Ma Chao rolled his eyes a few times and said with a smile: "I am 22 years old this year."

In fact, only nineteen years have passed since he was born.In order to overwhelm Yuan Tan, he added three years to himself.

Unexpectedly, the corners of Yuan Tan's mouth raised, and he said calmly, "Since that's the case, Brother Yu is two years older than you."

Ma Chao let out an "ah" and asked in surprise, "So, brother is already 24 years old?"

"Not bad!"

Yuan Tan nodded, with a serious look on his face.

Ma Chao sighed, and couldn't help thinking to himself: "It's okay if I can't beat you, but I'm not as old as you, I'm really unlucky!"

Before he could finish his thoughts, he knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "Brother, please accept my bow!"

Seeing this, Yuan Tan quickly knelt down to return the salute.The two bowed a few times before standing up.

Seeing this situation, Ma Teng laughed "haha", and said to Yuan Tan: "Young Master Yuan, from now on, we will be one family!"

Yuan Tan bowed slightly and said with a smile: "My nephew is innocent, please don't blame me uncle."

Hearing the word "uncle", Ma Teng felt happy and said with a smile: "A good nephew does not need to be polite. We are not acquainted without fighting. Come on, follow me into the tent."

As he spoke, he walked forward quickly, holding Yuan Tan in one arm and Ma Chao in the other, and returned to the camp.

……

In Yanzhou City.

Snapped!
With a muffled sound, Yuan Shao suddenly got up and threw the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground.His face changed drastically, and he asked coldly: "So, Tan'er went to the enemy camp alone?"

Qianzhao nodded, bowed and said, "That's right, I tried every means to dissuade you, but the young master insisted on refusing to do so. He ordered me to return to Yanzhou and report this matter to my lord."

Yuan Shao was trembling with anger and said through gritted teeth: "This traitor... is too unwilling to let me worry!"

At this time, the judge bowed and said: "It's fine to go to the enemy's camp alone. After all, you will be outside, and your order will not be accepted. But the eldest son voluntarily served as a hostage, making our army completely lose our advantage. People don't understand."

Feng Ji interjected: "What Zhengnan said coincides with what I am! I think that the young master's actions are really suspected of collaborating with the enemy..."

Before the words finished, Qian Zhao cut off his mouth and said: "I want to report to my lord, the reason why the son is alone in danger is to reduce the casualties of soldiers and help the lord to rule the world as soon as possible!"

"Forehead……"

Yuan Shao rubbed his temples, sat back on the chair again, and asked in a deep voice: "So, this Liangzhou Mu is already in Ma Teng's pocket?"

Lianzhao's lips moved slightly, but before he could make a sound, he heard Feng Ji say: "Lord, you must never agree to this!"

Yuan Shao was startled, and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Feng Ji bowed slightly and said seriously: "My lord, just imagine, if you can achieve your goal by taking the young master as a hostage, then everyone will imitate Ma Teng and try every possible means to hold the young master hostage in order to ask for official positions. If things go on like this, won't the imperial court be in chaos? ?”

Yuan Shao's ears were soft, and after hearing Feng Ji's words, he couldn't help saying: "This statement is also reasonable..."

Qianzhao saw that the situation was not good and quickly advised: "The eldest son is still in the enemy camp. If the lord rejects Ma Teng, the eldest son's situation... will be dangerous!"

"The general is worrying too much," Feng Ji said with a smile, "Ma Teng must not dare to harm the young master in order to ask for Liangzhou Mu."

Zhaozhao was furious, gritted his teeth and said, "This matter has a lot to do with it, how can you make inferences?"

Feng Ji smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "You are a warrior, how do you know the important things in the court? Besides, my lord is here, how dare you be so rude, why don't you retreat quickly?"

Pulling his hands and pressing the hilt of his sword, he said coldly: "The young master is in danger, but you obstruct the rescue of the lord, what is your intention?"

"Okay, okay!" Yuan Shao frowned and said to the two of them: "Stop arguing, just let me think about it!"

In Yuan Shao's impression, Ma Teng is a very difficult opponent.The strength of the elite soldiers under his command is not weaker than that of Hebei sergeants.

Even so, Ma Teng still couldn't occupy Liangzhou completely.Except for Han Sui, Ma Wan and other powerful people, his official position restricted his own development.

If he gets the emperor's seal, Ma Teng can annex Han Sui, Ma Wan and other forces in a short period of time, and achieve the goal of separatist Liangzhou.

In this way, the difficulty of capturing Liangzhou will rise sharply.

However, Yuan Tan is still in the Xiliang army. If he rejects Ma Teng, the traitor's life... may not be saved.

It seems a bit of a loss to exchange the life of one son for the whole of Liangzhou!

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Qianzhao, you return to Hedong immediately and send someone to notify Ma Teng and ask him to release Yuan Tan. As for the Liangzhou Order's imperial edict, it will also be handed over to him. !”

Qianzhao was overjoyed and said happily, "Thank you, Lord, I will return to Hedong immediately!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out.
