"Father, this is an invitation from Han Sui."
Ma Xiu met with Han Sui's people and received a specially sent invitation, which he sent to Ma Teng.
Ma Teng was a little surprised by Han Sui's sudden invitation, but he opened it and read the content, wondering: "Han Sui invited me to have a banquet at his house in three days. This invitation came somewhat suddenly. .”
Pang De reminded: "In the past few years, Shijun has been joining forces with Zhong Yuanchang to help Prime Minister Cao control Liangzhou. He has dealt with many warlords, killed many people, and offended many people."
After a pause, he added: "Among them, Han Sui was the one who suffered the most. The emperor suppressed him to the point where he had basically nothing. I guess he had other motives for this banquet."
Ma Teng agreed: "There is no good banquet, but why should I be afraid?"
He was quite confident in his own strength and did not take Han Sui seriously. He continued: "Now Liangzhou is all in my hands, and Han Sui's military strength has been reduced to almost the same extent by me. You also said that he is basically If I have nothing, even if I go to the banquet, what can he do to me? What can he do to me? "
Over the past few years, Ma Teng has been very successful and has indeed expanded a bit.
Liangzhou is basically under his control, and the rest is not worth mentioning.
In the face of absolute strength, Ma Teng believed that even if Han Sui had any ideas, he should not be afraid and take it seriously.
This is his confidence.
Also so confident was Ma Tie, who said disapprovingly: "My father controls Liangzhou, and Han Sui is in front of my father, but that's it! I don't believe that he can capture my father and threaten us! If he really dares to do this Doing so will definitely accelerate your own destruction.”
"Uncle, I think it's better to be cautious."
Ma Teng's nephew Ma Dai has similar ideas to Pound.
Don't be careless when it comes to banquets.
Ma Dai said again: "Uncle, should you go to this banquet?"
Ma Teng was not afraid of Han Sui and said confidently: "I want to see what Han Sui is going to do. I will arrange for someone to tell Han Sui later and agree to attend the banquet. In addition, what you said about being cautious does make sense. Xiu'er , you lead two hundred soldiers and follow me, but you don’t have to go in, just wait outside. If there is any movement, attack immediately. I will lead twenty elites into Han Sui’s residence."
They all approved of this arrangement.
Twenty elites followed him through the door. If anything happened, they could protect Ma Teng for a while.
Matthew led the people outside the door, and there was still time to successfully attack and rescue people.
"Dai'er, you and Ling Ming, take precautions in the army, and if something happens, adapt accordingly."
While Ma Teng swelled up, he still followed Pang De's reminder, be more cautious, and sail the ten-thousand-year ship with caution.
"yes!"
they echoed.
——
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ma Xiu led his troops out in advance and lurked outside Han Sui's residence.
Ma Teng led twenty people to Han Sui's mansion. This banquet really felt like a banquet without a good feast.
However, Ma Teng didn't care and let Han Sui do whatever he wanted.
Han family.
"General."
Yan Xing came back and said, "Ma Teng is on the way here, but his son Matthew has brought two hundred more people, lurking around the mansion, as if they can break in at any time, and the people I arranged are already watching Matthew and the others. .”
Hearing this, Han Sui narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "From this, it seems that Ma Teng is also on guard against me. You can imagine that I will attack him."
"You go out immediately, lead our people, and deal with Matthew later."
"Also, Liang Xing and the others, are they ready?"
he asked again.
Yan Xing said: "They have no problem and are willing to obey the arrangements. The reason why they work under Ma Teng is completely helpless. As long as the general wants to take action, he will definitely respond."
After saying this, he left the mansion.
Before Ma Teng arrives, prepare for a fatal blow to Matthew.
Han Sui arranged his clothes at home, and asked people to arrange the things for the banquet. He acted like he was really hospitable and waited at the door.
After waiting not long, Ma Teng finally arrived.
"Brother!"
A smile broke out on Han Sui's face, his expression changed quickly, and he laughed and said, "I've finally waited for you to come."
Ma Teng also showed a false smile, walked over to meet Han Sui, and said, "Brother Xian, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to a banquet? We haven't tried drinking together for a long time."
Han Sui's face was full of memories and he sighed: "I also thought that I haven't had a drink with my brother for a long time, so I sent someone to invite my brother back. I didn't disturb my brother's business, right?"
Ma Teng shook his head and said, "Don't bother me. What else can I do?"
The two of them were polite to each other, their acting skills were as high as they could be, and they acted as hypocritically as they could, and in the end they walked in like brothers.
"Brother, these wines come from the Mi family. They are all good wines."
Han Sui personally poured a glass of wine for Ma Teng, and then took another look at the twenty people who followed Ma Teng in. They were so defensive about him, which made him cruel, and without any psychological pressure, he said again: "Drink this A glass of wine, I have something I want to ask my brother."
"OK!"
Ma Teng picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, and I will definitely tell you everything you know!"
After saying this, he drank a glass of wine.
Han Sui also had a drink, sat back at his seat, and started the highlight of today's banquet. He was also ready to take action, and said, "Brother, why are you so harsh on me?"
Ma Teng pretended not to understand and asked: "What is harsh? Dear brother, what do you mean by this?"
Han Sui got straight to the point and said: "Brother, stop pretending. In order to please Prime Minister Cao and get more credit, you and Zhong Yao attacked our people in Liangzhou. You have almost eliminated everyone with military power in Liangzhou." , and I have been suppressed by you and am about to lose everything. I can understand my brother’s eagerness to perform meritorious service, but it is somewhat immoral to do something to my sworn brother!"
Sure enough, the banquet had a purpose.
Han Sui didn't just want to drink.
Ma Teng had guessed this a long time ago and was not surprised. He said: "Now the general trend of the world is becoming more and more clear. Prime Minister Cao sits in the north and obeys the emperor's orders. He is the most capable of pacifying the enemies of the world. The world The sooner this chaos disappears, the better off the people will be. I do this for the sake of the people of the world!"
He described his actions as very noble and just.
It seems that without him to stabilize Liangzhou, it will fall into chaos.
Han Sui was disdainful and disapproving of this: "Brother is so great and noble, but have you ever considered my feelings? If you want to support Prime Minister Cao, there is no need to reduce our interests to support him. Also, why? People in the world, do you think I will believe it?"
Impossible to believe!
This means tearing one's face apart.
Ma Teng laughed, stopped pretending, and asked directly: "What are you going to do, dear brother?"
Han Sui raised his glass, drank a glass of wine slowly, and said calmly: "As long as my brother hands over his military power and leaves Liangzhou, I can let you go."
