At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Ma Teng pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind to trust Liu Zhang.

In fact, in the current situation, Ma Teng has no choice.

The soldiers and horses in Wuwei County were all lost, and the lives of himself and the Ma clan were in Liu Zhang's hands. It can be said that there was no hope of a comeback.

Expecting a stupefied young Ma Chao to defeat Liu Zhang is tantamount to dreaming, and Ma Teng naturally knows this in his heart.

Ever since he heard the news that Han Sui's entire army was wiped out, Ma Teng had a feeling in the dark.

I'm afraid the days of separatist regime in Yongliang are coming to an end!

"General Wei, Ma Chao is my eldest son, but not the eldest son. Balazi is Ma Chao's biological mother."

Liu Zhang was taken aback for a moment, the amount of information is not small!

According to Ma Teng, if Ma Chao is not recognized as the eldest son, the power, territory, and army under Ma Teng's command will have nothing to do with Ma Chao in the future!

A terrifying thought kept popping up in Liu Zhang's mind. Could it be that Ma Teng dragged his family to Yecheng because he was taken away by Ma Chao?

"Brother Shoucheng is a vassal after all, don't you know that the fight between the eldest son and the youngest son, the first son and the second son is no less than fighting on the battlefield?"

Up to the royal family, down to the princes, the issue of heirs will always be a turmoil.

How many people's forces have fallen because of inheritance issues?

Ma Teng showed a hint of helplessness, and he answered Liu Zhang with an expression.

"I don't know! But Ma Chao is indeed too good. He has inherited all my advantages, plus the wild nature of the Qiang blood. He is undoubtedly a natural talent!"

"It's a pity that Ma Chao's personality is also his shortcoming. He acts too recklessly! However, his heart is very simple. He is jealous and hateful, and he often says what he says. Outspokenness has always been his advantage."

"But in the past one or two years, I gradually discovered that Ma Chao also had a different idea, probably influenced by Tudan and Balazi..."

As the saying goes, what kind of environment breeds what kind of humanity.

If Ma Chao is often instilled with a thought by his mother, it will definitely change under the subtle influence.

Liu Zhang had to suspect that all of this was instigated by Tu Dan, who wanted to support Ma Chao to replace Ma Teng.

"Brother Shoucheng and Mrs. Zhou have children?"

"Mr. Zhou and I have two sons, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie."

Ma Teng didn't hide anything, and answered Liu Zhang's question very happily.

When Liu Zhang suddenly realized, he couldn't help but be secretly astonished. He didn't expect that Ma Teng would also have a dispute between his son and concubine!

"Brother Shoucheng a hundred years later, who is he more inclined to be with when it comes to heirs? Matthew or Ma Chao?"

Ma Teng didn't answer, and fell into hesitation again, and it was Ma Teng's hesitation that made Liu Zhang more convinced of what he thought.

Ma Chao's ambition is far greater than that of his father Ma Teng. How can he give up the power in Ma Teng's hands when he is so obsessed with war and power? How could he be willing to succumb to Matthew?

Thinking back to history, Ma Teng took away everyone in the army, but left Ma Chao in Xiliang, so it may not be because of preserving his heirs!

I'm afraid Ma Chao won't be able to sit still if he stays in Yongliang again!

After getting this information, Liu Zhang's confidence in recruiting Ma Teng increased greatly!

Right now, only he can save the Ma Teng family and avoid the tragedy of brothers fighting against each other.

"Brother Shoucheng, since we have treated each other so frankly, I won't hide it anymore."

"I hope Brother Shoucheng can join Yizhou and help the Han family with me! I believe that with Brother Shoucheng's ability, his achievements are definitely no less than that of our ancestor Ma Yuan!"

Ma Teng was not surprised by Liu Zhang's sudden solicitation, he had already guessed Liu Zhang's intention.

"General Wei, if I promise you directly, aren't you afraid that I'm a false surrender?"

How could Liu Zhang not be afraid, he was even afraid to death, otherwise he would not have kept Ma Teng aside.

With the current strength of the Yizhou Army, once Ma Teng turns his back on the battlefield, Liu Zhang will definitely be dealt a fatal blow.

But Liu Zhang wants to show the posture of a hero and force himself to calm down.

"Hehe, I've always been suspicious of people who don't use them, and those who employ people are not suspicious!"

Ma Teng shook his head with a smile, apparently scoffing at Liu Zhang's ignorant words.

"General Wei, didn't you just say you want to be honest with each other?"

Liu Zhang's thoughts were pierced by Ma Teng, and he was immediately embarrassed.

It is worthy of being able to dominate one side in troubled times, each of them is not easy to be with.

"Brother Shoucheng, to be honest, I'm really worried!"

"Hahaha! General Wei said so, I feel much more comfortable!"

Ma Teng picked up the wine glass, and the two drank it together again.

"General Wei, letting Ma Chao escape is really your biggest mistake. Even if I escape, it will not have as much impact as Ma Chao's escape!"

"Why?"

If it is said that the current Ma Chao can replace Ma Teng, Liu Zhang will never believe it.

It will take at least five years for Ma Chao to overtake Ma Teng!

"Hey! General Wei is so smart, why can't he see through the mystery?"

Ma Teng's slightly puzzled expression embarrassed Liu Zhang, he really didn't understand what Ma Teng meant.

"I also ask Brother Shoucheng to give me some pointers."

"Wuwei's soldiers and horses are completely lost. Even if I return to Wuwei next time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to organize forces to resist!"

Ma Teng couldn't help shaking his head and sighing again. After being a warlord for so many years, he was not as good as his son in the end!

"First of all, the Zhou family. They are afraid of General Wei's mighty military power, so they may not be able to rebel. Without the support of the Zhou family, how can Gong Tangqiang be willing to help?"

"Ling Qiang was originally in harmony with me, and it is already the greatest gift to me if they don't fall into trouble, and it is even more difficult to get them to send troops!"

Liu Zhang caressed his chin with his hand, Ma Teng's explanation was indeed in line with common sense.

As the inherited family of Wuwei County, the Zhou family has always put the interests of the family first, which is also a common problem of all the families in the Han Dynasty.

I'm afraid that Ma Teng is only used as a pawn of the Zhou family, so why would they get burned for the pawn?

"Brother Shoucheng means that Ma Chao can pull Xian Lingqiang?"

Gong Tangqiang has no interest relationship with Ma Chao, so Liu Zhang can only suspect that Ma Chao is using his mother's relationship.

Facts proved that Liu Zhang's conjecture was correct, and Ma Teng confirmed his doubts.

"That's right. After Tudan knows that I have been captured, he will definitely support Ma Chao with all his strength and try to make Ma Chao replace me!"

"well enough…"

Hearing Ma Teng's reply, Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

For Liu Zhang, this was unexpected good news.

"fine?"

Ma Teng looked at Liu Zhang strangely, as if he questioned Liu Zhang's vision.

"General Wei is about to face catastrophe, yet he said he was okay?"
