Chapter 114 Ma Teng who was deceived (please subscribe!)
Looking at Yuan Tan with a bad expression, Guo Tu was greatly surprised.He coughed a few times, and said falteringly: "I...cough cough...there are other important matters. For the matters listed above, my lord is still...let's invite someone else."

Yuan Tan snorted coldly, grabbed the bamboo slips, and said coldly: "If that's the case, then I'll return to Yanzhou immediately and play the Son of Heaven myself."

With that said, he turned and walked out.

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Guo Tu pulled Yuan Tan back and said eagerly, "The situation in Youzhou is in danger. If you don't send troops, Youzhou will definitely fall into the hands of thieves. As for the imperial seal, please let me put it down for now. After the enemy, let's talk about merit and reward."

Yuan Tan turned his head and asked Guo Tu: "If the father refuses to allow it, what should we do?"

Guo Tu patted his chest, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will personally admonish Mr. Yuan, and make him go to the court to recruit generals."

Hearing this, the corners of Yuan Tan's mouth rose, and he said calmly, "Then Mr. Lao is here."

Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief and asked eagerly: "When will the young master send troops?"

Yuan Tan smiled, and said calmly: "Sir, don't worry, wait for me to notify General Ma Teng and see when he withdraws."

"Alright," Guo Tu frowned, and said worriedly, "I hope Ma Teng will keep his word, otherwise, Youzhou will be in danger..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Tan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'll go see him right away."

At that moment, the two left the camp and went to look for Ma Teng together.

At this moment, Ma Teng was arranging a banquet, and when he saw the two people coming side by side, he smiled and said, "The two of you are here just in time, please follow me to the table."

Guo Tu only hoped that the other party would retreat sooner, so naturally he refused to take the seat.He waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I have a heavy responsibility on my body, so I can't drink alcohol. I can only accept the general's kindness."

"It's okay," Ma Teng stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "I don't like drinking too much, so I just happen to be with your envoy."

Guo Tu was about to refuse, but he heard Yuan Tan say: "Since that's the case, I'd rather be respectful than follow orders!"

Ma Teng was overjoyed, took Guo Tu and Yuan Tan's hands, and said with a smile: "Come, come, please take a seat!"

Guo Tu had no choice but to follow behind Ma Teng, reluctantly taking the seat.

During the banquet, Yuan Tan held up his wine glass and said to Ma Teng, "Congratulations to my uncle for being granted the title of Liangzhou Shepherd by the Son of Heaven. My nephew will do it first!"

Saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Ma Teng laughed "hehe", got up and said, "If it wasn't for the help of my virtuous nephew, how could this Liangzhou shepherd fall on the head of this old man? From now on, as long as the old man has his breath, he will never be an enemy of the young master!"

Speaking of this, he picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "This old man replaces wine with tea, please don't blame my nephew."

Yuan Tan bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Uncle, don't be too polite. In the future, my nephew will rely on Xiliang's army and horses to wipe out the Cao bandits!"

Ma Teng was startled, and asked in surprise: "So, my nephew is going to attack Xuchang?"

"That's right, when my nephew is free, I will definitely capture Cao thief alive." Yuan Tan put down his glass and said in a pretentious way: "But right now, my nephew has encountered a difficult matter..."

Ma Teng's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "My dear nephew, let me tell you. As long as I can help, I will never stand idly by."

Yuan Tan looked at Ma Teng and said in a deep voice, "My nephew is unclear about something, so I ask my uncle to enlighten me."

"What's the matter?"

"Uncle led the army to attack Hedong, but was provoked by Cao thief?"

"This one……"

Ma Teng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My nephew expected exactly."

"That's true," Yuan Tan took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Cao Thief is extremely cunning. He not only sent people to lobby Uncle, but also colluded with Ke Bineng to try to occupy Youzhou!"

Ma Teng let out an "ah" and subconsciously said, "Prime Minister Cao... Oh no, the Cao thief is so meticulous in his actions."

Yuan Tan nodded, and said seriously: "Now Youzhou is in an emergency, my nephew wants to lead troops to reinforce, but the army and horses are exhausted, Kong is not Ke's enemy."

Ma Teng came to his senses and asked casually, "What can the old man do?"

"Actually, my nephew only wants to borrow two people from my uncle."

"Borrowing someone? Who does my nephew want to borrow?"

Yuan Tan turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Ma Chao and Pang De!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Teng's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "This kid has really poisonous eyes, with just one mouth, he picked out the most capable general."

After pondering for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Only these two?"

Yuan Tan restrained his smile and said seriously: "Kebi can rely on his own strength and defeated our elite troops many times. I think that in the Xiliang army, only Ma Chao and Pang De can stop this thief."

Ma Teng's eyes flickered, and he threw the ball out: "Chao'er, General Pang, what do you two agree?"

Pang De coughed a few times, and asked with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Yuan, your martial arts are far superior, why do you need me to wait for your help?"

Ma Chao said: "That's right, we are all defeated by you, if you can't beat Ke Bineng, we will fail."

Yuan Tan looked at the two of them and said sincerely: "Ke Bineng's army is very powerful. If you two are willing to help each other, I will be very grateful."

"Brother, don't panic, you and I are united in Jinlan, we will live and die together," Ma Chao paused, and continued: "Even if I die under Ke Bineng's gun, I will have no complaints!"

Yuan Tan was moved, held Ma Chao's hand, and said in a deep voice, "My good brother, thank you very much."

It hasn't been long since the two became sworn brothers, and it's only been a few days since Ma Chao has entrusted his life to himself. This trust alone is enough to move people.

He turned his head, looked at Pound, and asked in a low voice: "General Pang, if you don't want to go, I will never force you."

Pang De smiled, and said proudly: "Young Master, you have no worries. Pang is not a person who is greedy for life and fears death. Dare I ask you, when shall we leave?"

Yuan Tan was overjoyed and said hastily, "If uncle doesn't object, my nephew wants to leave now."

"This...alright!" Ma Teng gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Chaoer, General Pang, you two can go with Mr. Yuan!"

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "The last general obeys orders!"

Seeing that the two were willing to help him, Yuan Tan secretly rejoiced, stood up and said, "Thank you uncle for your success, and thank you two for your generous help!"

Ma Teng forced a smile and said: "My good nephew has a heavy responsibility, so I won't force him to stay."

Yuan Tan thanked him, took Ma Chao and others to the gate, and saw Zhang Xiu was arguing with Qianzhao.The two were blushing from the fight, and their emotions were quite agitated.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Tan immediately stepped forward and asked the two of them, "What are you doing?"

"My lord, you have figured it out!" Zhang Xiu came up to meet him and said eagerly: "If it's a little later, I will lead my men to kill him!"
