After entering Tianshui City, Ma Su did not rush to Ma Chao to deliver a letter, but instead asked for information first.

Tianshui has good security conditions. Although it is not prosperous, the people are all smiling and very satisfied. I heard that Ma Chao stationed heavy troops outside Tianshui City. He either suppressed bandits or trained troops every day, and did not disturb the people. He was very supportive of the people.

However, Ma Su saw from this that Ma Chao had great ambitions, bought the hearts of the people, and trained the army, and it seemed that it would be a matter of time before he entered Guanzhong.

Since Ma Chao was determined to advance to Guanzhong, Ma Su felt that it was still very hopeful and persuaded Ma Chao to raise an army to attack Cao Cao and complete the arduous task assigned to him by Liu Bei.

Because he was afraid of failure, Ma Su didn't want to show off with Ma Chao too early. He thought of a few excuses first, and then he brought Xing Daorong, He Yun, and Fang Shan to visit Ma Chao in person.

I heard that Ma Su came to visit, Ma Chao dared not be negligent! Because Ma Su's victory on the bank of Dangyang River was the first time that Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry that dominated the world was defeated, and the impact was very far-reaching.

Although Ma Su has always been low-key and stood behind Zhang Fei, he was still poached by someone with a lot of heart. Although he is not well-known, he is also well-known among those senior generals!

Ma Chao is also a person who is very eager to fight with Cao Cao, but he is very afraid of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry. Therefore, he is also one of the insiders of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry's defeat!

In order to deal with Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he tried every means to find Liu Bei to find out the specific process of defeating the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry from Jingzhou. Referring to the method of Ma Su defeating the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Ma Chao also formulated several plans for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but the effect remains to be verified.

Now that Ma Su himself is in person, Ma Chao definitely doesn't want to miss it. He made up his mind to ask him in person.

After Ma Su and Ma Chao met, both sides had their own goals and adopted roundabout tactics of indirect attacks. The two of them were very affectionate in their conversations and clan relatives.

Speaking of the two being relatives, Ma Chao suddenly became excited and attached more importance to Ma Su. He personally took the genealogy and checked the seniority of the two.

Although the Ma Su family and the Ma Chao family are both branches passed down by Ma Fujun Zhao She, because their ancestors have not had any intersection for hundreds of years, it is really difficult to determine the seniority of the two.

Fortunately, Ma Chao's ancestor, General Fubo, Ma Yuan, and General Captain Ma Wu, were in the same dynasty as generals. They fought side by side many times and had a deep relationship. The two had once ranked senior and happened to be brothers of the same generation.

The relationship between Ma Su family and Ma Wu is much closer than that of Ma Yuan, and there are detailed records in the genealogy. With the reference of Ma Wu and Ma Yuan, the two quickly got the desired result. They happened to be the same generation, so they changed their words to be called brothers at that time.

According to his age, Ma Chao is over thirty years old, much older than Ma Su, and calls Ma Su his younger brother.

The two often talk about military tactics together, because Ma Su intends to bring them closer together, and every time he follows Ma Chao's topic, the two talk very easily.

After the two got closer, Ma Chao often asked Ma Su to go to his home to talk about military tactics. On that day, Ma Chao asked Ma Su about the method of breaking the tiger and leopard cavalry in Dangyang River. Through verification, he found that the plan and method he formulated was similar and should be effective and in a very good mood!

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ma Su took out a letter written by Liu Bei to Ma Teng and handed it to Ma Chao:

"Brother Meng Qi, this is my Lord Uncle Liu. I traveled thousands of miles and asked me to send a letter to Ling Zun. I probably wanted to make an appointment to attack Cao Cao, the thief. Because Ling Zun has already gone to Xuchang to take office, I naturally cannot send the letter to Xuchang. Now I can only hand it over to you. Whether to transfer it to Ling Zun is up to you."

Ma Chao took the letter and sent Ma Su out of the door. Then he couldn't wait to open the letter Liu Bei had to his father, looking in detail.

Liu Bei's reputation of benevolence and righteousness spread throughout the world. Although he occupied the glory of his relatives in the Han Dynasty, his ability to deceive others was beyond words!

This letter is the content of Liu Bei and Ma Teng’s appointment to attack Cao Cao. Liu Bei wrote a passionate and passionate, passionate and very infectious!

Ma Chao was so excited that he wanted to raise an army immediately, run to Xuchang, rescue Emperor Xian of Han from the fire and achieve unparalleled achievements!

But Ma Teng is still an official in Xuchang after all. Although it is only nominal, he has become a hostage, which makes Ma Chao dare not act rashly.

Since accepting the troops of Xiliang, Ma Chao has completely controlled it. He trained diligently and used war instead to train, destroying all the horse and thieves in Xiliang. The public security situation in the Tianshui and Earth has improved and has been deeply loved by the local people.

Ma Chao imagined more than once that he jumped into the Guanzhong of Ma and defeated Cao Cao! Although Ma Chao couldn't help but lead his troops to the outer area of ​​Chang'an many times, he never dared to cross the line because of his father.

Now that Liu Bei's letters have made him righteous and famous, he still has difficulty in making a decision to sacrifice his father and brothers. He decided to get up early the next day and ask Ma Su for advice.

After Ma Su handed the letter to Ma Chao, he returned to his residence and could not calm down. He always considered falling asleep late at night. He predicted the various possibilities after Ma Chao read the letter, so he naturally made plans to deal with it.

The next morning, Ma Su got up, and Ma Chao sent someone to invite Ma Su to have breakfast together. Ma Chao was quite calm. After the two of them finished their breakfast, they said straight to the point:

"I read the letter from Uncle Liu last night. Cao Cao deceived the emperor and was outrageous. I deeply felt that! I wanted to respond to Uncle Liu's call and raise an army to attack Cao Cao, but my father and brother were both called by Cao Cao to falsely pass the imperial edict and say that Xuchang was an official, but in fact he was taken as a hostage and asked me to be afraid of the mouse. How could Yuchang teach me?"

Ma Su had actually thought of a plan, but in order not to make Ma Chao suspicious, he deliberately refused:

"Brother Meng Qi, although it is a great thing for the world to attack the Cao thief, he cannot ignore the life and death of Uncle Ma Teng. He is filial. I have no feasible strategy for a while. It is better to wait until we think carefully before making a reason!"

Although Ma Chao was anxious to rise up, he also wanted to make achievements and be remembered forever. Such an unfilial act that ignored his father's life and death really didn't have the courage to do it!

While the two were chatting, the guards came to report, and Han Sui sent someone to send an urgent letter. Ma Chao ordered the envoy to come in. After receiving the letter, his face looked a little unstable.

As soon as Ma Su saw Ma Chao's face, he knew that Han Sui's letter must have mentioned a major event, so he was about to stand up and say goodbye, but Ma Chao handed the letter directly to Ma Su.

Ma Su was not pretentious, and he took it and looked at it in detail.

After reading what Han Sui wrote in his letter, Ma Su understood in his heart that Cao Cao was testing Han Sui and wanted to stabilize the situation in Xiliang, but he would not attack Han Sui for the time being.

It turned out that Cao Cao solved Ma Teng's case, but Han Sui, another warlord in Xiliang, was not inferior to Ma Teng's strength. He was still more cunning than Ma Teng, which gave him a headache!

Although Ma Chao's strength can compete with Han Sui, he would not raise an army and cause chaos by himself. It was already burning high incense. It was obviously impossible to rely on him to resist Han Sui. The situation in Xiliang was still unpredictable, so Cao Cao still did not dare to fight south with all his might and wanted to test it first.

Cao Cao thought of a plan and sent Zhong Yao and Xiahou Yuan to lead the army out of Hedong to inform Han Sui and other generals of Guanzhong to pass through their Xiliang territory and attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
