Ma Teng opened his mouth, but after a long time, he didn't make a sound.

He has a thousand words to say!

Ma Teng wants to beg for mercy, wants to live!

Han Sui's tragic death deeply stimulated Ma Teng's nerves, even though it was Ma Chao who did it.

But with Ma Teng being capricious and counting Liu Zhang's crimes, isn't Han Sui's fate at this moment the same as his fate in the near future?

Maybe the punishment will come very quickly, only between the next breath!

"I didn't expect Ma Teng to be so ingenious that I would be defeated by the most trusted person in the end!"

Ma Teng was still unwilling, and looked at Pang De with extremely disappointed eyes.

He could think of everyone betraying him, except Pang De.

Pound used to protect Ma Teng with his life!

Maybe it was someone else, facing Ma Teng's disappointed expression, maybe there would be a trace of guilt in his heart.

But Pound wouldn't, he still raised his head and chest, and was even able to look directly at Ma Teng.

Right and wrong, good and evil, loyalty and treachery, Pound has his own scale in his heart!

It is precisely because of this that Pound can do it with a clear conscience and peace of mind.

"Ma Teng, you're wrong! Since ancient times, there has been much help for those who are right, and few for those who are wrong! Without Pang De betraying you, you will still not be successful."

"Didn't you hear what Ziyi said just now? Ma Yue is leading the cavalry to arrest the fleeing Qiang people."

Ma Teng couldn't help widening his eyes, and his shocked facial features were all twisted together.

"Could it be..."

Ma Teng's voice trembled a little, he didn't believe it was true.

It's a pity that facts are facts, and Liu Zhang definitely revealed the truth that Ma Teng didn't want to believe.

"After you got the idea of ​​rebellion, the first thing you looked for was Ma Yue, and the second one was Pound, right?"

"I don't need to hide it from you now. After you left Ma Yue, he came to me and told me all about your plan!"

Liu Zhang didn't know Ma Yue very well, so he just regarded him as a member of Ma Teng's clan.

Later, after talking, I found out that he was Ma Dai's father.

Liu Zhang also had a deep talk with Ma Yue because of Ma Dai, and tested Ma Yue's martial arts.

Although Ma Yue's talent is not very outstanding, his character and virtue are very outstanding, and his three views are also very positive.

Maybe you can't expect Ma Yue to fight freely, but he will definitely be loyal.

It can also be seen from Ma Dai that there must be some inheritance.

But after learning all this, Ma Teng couldn't accept it even more.

It turned out that everything Ma Yue did was an illusion, used to confuse his elder brother!

"Ma Yue...are you worthy of me..."

Even though Ma Yue was not nearby, Ma Teng couldn't help letting out a sad sigh from his mouth.

Ma Teng and Ma Yue are close cousins, but they have a grandfather!

Compared with Ma Yue and Pang Tong betraying at the same time, perhaps Pang De alone can make Ma Teng feel better psychologically.

After all, no matter how loyal Pang De was, his surname was Pang, not Ma Teng's.

After experiencing ups and downs in reality, and a huge blow to his spirit, Ma Teng was completely ashamed.

Looking at the decadent Ma Teng, Liu Zhang looked more like seeing an old man who was dying and dying soon!

"Ma Teng, how long has Yongliang been in rebellion? Don't you know how miserable the people here are?"

"Ma Yue seems to be sorry for you, but in fact he is a benevolent man! He is sorry for you alone, but he is worthy of the people of Yongliang and Liangzhou!"

"In all fairness, are you suitable to be a monarch? Since you have been in charge of one side, not to mention too much, how are the people of Wuwei County living?"

Ma Teng was even more ashamed by Liu Zhang's direct questioning.

Even the first thought in Ma Teng's mind was that the water is in dire straits!

The two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou were originally the border of the country, a place of bitter cold.

At its peak, the population was less than 500,000.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the two states first experienced oppression by Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and the Kingdom, and then were abused by Ma Teng and Han Sui for many years, and the population dropped by more than half.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe the actions of Ma Teng and Han Sui with the words "the lives of the people are overwhelmed and the people are in dire straits!"

At this moment, Ma Teng suddenly recalled how he told Ma Yue and Pound about his plan.

After Pound heard about it, he tried his best to persuade him not to do these meaningless and stupid things.

After persuasion to no avail, Pang De said to think about it.

Now it seems that everything is an excuse. I am afraid that Pang De, like Ma Yue, exposed his crimes to Liu Zhang.

Later, Pound expressed his support for his treasonous plan, and he must have been instructed by Liu Zhang.

Compared with Ma Yue's vowed to follow, but immediately sold himself to Liu Zhang, Pang De is indeed benevolent.

After thinking about this, Ma Teng looked at Pound without resentment and loss, but with a trace of guilt.

"Ling Ming, in your heart, I'm not a wise master, am I?"

Perhaps Pound also had a hint of emotion in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, but nodded with certainty.

"General Ma, I will never forget your kindness to me!"

"It's just that if you want to calm the troubled times, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from wars. Make the country prosperous and no longer be poisoned by foreign races, can these generals really do it?"

Can it be done?

Pound's question made Ma Teng bow his head in shame.

He has never even thought about pacifying the troubled times. What does the life and death of the people have to do with him?

From the beginning to the end, Ma Teng never had such a grand ideal.

As for not being poisoned by aliens, it is even more impossible.

Ma Teng's own forces still need the support of Xian Ling Qiang and Gong Tang Qiang.

Perhaps Ma Teng also had the ideal of his ancestor Ma Yuan to defeat other races everywhere in his heart, which made him help Liu Zhang to deal with the Xianbei people at the very beginning.

But Ma Teng's real wish is to possess more cities and land, and to have more soldiers and horses.

Everything Ma Teng did was more for his own selfishness.

"Does Ling Ming feel that Liu Zhang is the hero who calmed the troubled times and revived the great Han?"

This question may be Ma Teng's last stubbornness.

After Ma Teng raised this question, he had a clear answer in his heart.

Undoubtedly yes!

If Liu Zhang cannot accomplish this goal, Ma Teng himself will be confused about the answer to this question.

Of all the princes in the world, who dares to underestimate Liu Zhang?

Yuan Shao?

I am afraid that if Yuan Shao really underestimated Liu Zhang, he would not have come up with a plan to besiege Liu Zhang.

Cao Cao?

Those who struggled to support in Guandu and were suppressed by Yuan Shao, dare to underestimate Liu Zhang?

Liu Biao, Sun Quan?

A mediocre lord with no aggressive intentions, a yellow-mouthed child, whose power will be subverted at any time, what right does he have to underestimate Liu Zhang?

Suddenly, Ma Teng's mind was unusually clear, and an idea flashed out at the same time.

Isn't Han Sui's death the first step for Liu Zhang to conquer the world?
