Chapter 1295: Xiliang Camille

This team of messengers is extraordinary.

Injured by Zhang Lu's curse, Ma Teng, who was lying ill in bed, was escorted and forced to come here by car.

Escorted along the way were Ma Teng's son Ma Xiu, nephew Ma Dai, daughter Ma Yunlu, and Han Sui's daughter Han Qi. A group of generals of the junior generation led three hundred cavalry to follow.

Before the envoy arrived, Bai Xiaowen first received a joint letter from Cao Ren and Zhong Yao.

After reading the letter, Bai Xiaowen passed it on to his subordinates.

Cao Ren and Zhong Yao said in their letter that the day before yesterday Ma Chao and Han Sui suddenly led the fine cavalry to the foot of Tongguan, calling for the guards to come out and answer.

Cao Ren was a prudent character, worried about being cheated, so he responded from the top of the city.

Ma Chao asked Cao Ren that he had accepted 2,000 war horses and 100,000 hu of rice from the Xiliang army, and pledged the land of Sanfu to Xiliang in exchange; why did he sell the land of Sanfu to Zhang Lu first?

The Xiliang army captured Sanfu, and consumed a lot of military supplies, food, fodder, and pensions for soldiers, not to mention the chief general Ma Teng, who was severely injured by Zhang Lu's curse.

The reason is that Cao Cao's daughter and Xu's family led to this war that shouldn't have happened!

Therefore, Ma Chao demanded that Cao Cao Group must pay compensation.

Even if Cao Cao has been defeated, there is no need for death. Whoever took Cao Cao's territory should be accounted for.

That's right, Ma Chao almost didn't name him, and called "Yuan Xi" in charge.

Ma Chao's rhetoric was obviously taught by someone.

There is some truth in the previous statement of seeking responsibility; the latter said that Yuan Xi will take over Cao Cao's business, which is a bit nonsense.

Cao Ren was not good at arguing, so he could only inform Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao is a smart man, and debate is his forte. He immediately edited a book, quoted scriptures, and refuted Ma Chao's remarks one by one.

Ma Chao was also upright, he didn't continue to argue about Sansuke's issue, he just stated that his father Ma Teng was under the influence of Taoism's sorcery, and he was sick in bed and often fell into a coma.

I heard that Yuan Xi, the head of the Yuan family, is proficient in Taoism. If he can undo Zhang Lu's sorcery for his father Ma Teng, then not only will the matter of Sanfu be canceled, but he will also send his younger brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Dai to the court as hostages.

Just as Zhong Yao expected, Ma Chao's real purpose was to ask Yuan Xi to help relieve Ma Teng's curse of sorcery.

Regarding this, Zhong Yao didn't dare to make a decision without authorization, and only said that he had to report to Da Sima first.

However, Ma Teng's condition could not wait any longer.

Ma Chao proposed to send a team of envoys to Yedu in the name of paying tribute to the imperial court.

This is the first local warlord willing to pay tribute to the imperial court since he moved to Yedu. Although Zhong Yao knew it was fake, he had no reason to stop it.

Fortunately, there were only three hundred relatives and four military generals escorting Ma Teng, who was seriously ill and dying, so he was not afraid of turning his face after they entered the customs. Ever since, Zhong Yao and Cao Ren jointly wrote a letter to send the news to Yedu before the arrival of the Xiliang army's tribute team, so that Bai Xiaowen could have a mental preparation so that he would not be confused.

The judge said: "Ma Chao is too rude! Now the lord has unified the north and is powerful in China. Who doesn't know the prestige of the lord in the north and south of the Yellow River? Even Ma Chao, an ignorant child, dares to use excuses to blackmail! My lord, why don't you come back and issue the edict of the emperor?" Responsibility."

Today's Ma Chao is not well-known in the Three Kingdoms plane,

His prestige is mainly spread among the Qiang people in Xiliang, and there is no one like him in the Central Plains, so the judges will despise him.

Dong Zhaodao: "Although the intention of blackmail is obvious, but the other party enters Yedu in the name of paying tribute, so we must not lose the hearts of people far away."

Bai Xiaowen asked, "What does Gongren (Dong Zhao) mean?"

Dong Zhao said: "Whether the lord wants to marry Ma Chao or plan to deal with Ma Chao, he should take Ma Teng into custody. With his father as a hostage, Ma Chao will definitely obey the lord. When the time comes, the lord will order him to attack Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang. Or go north to Bingzhou to wipe out the horse thieves, he dare not refuse."

Bai Xiaowen consulted Tian Feng, Xun Yu and other advisors again.

Tian Feng was more prudent and didn't agree with Dong Zhao's opinion too much, saying:

"The key to this matter is whether the lord has the ability to cure Ma Teng. Since Ma Chao sent Ma Teng here so eagerly, it shows that Ma Teng's condition has deteriorated to the point where it is difficult to delay. Maybe it will be over in a few days. Unexpected death. At that time, instead, we will have a grudge against Xiliang, giving the other party an excuse to raise troops."

Xun Yu nodded and said, "My lord, you might as well meet the envoy from Xiliang to see how Ma Teng is doing. If he can be cured, he will be taken in; if he cannot be cured, he will be sent back immediately."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone's sayings are reasonable, and I have already made up my mind." Then he ordered someone to go to the White Horse Temple to invite Taoist Ge Xuan to come over.

White Horse Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Yedu.

After Bai Xiaowen returned to Yedu, he often recited the Taiping Sutra.

But for things like cultivating the Tao, it is more reliable to have a teacher to lead the way. Bai Xiaowen repaired the White Horse Temple, and invited Uncle Ge (yé) from Youzhou Beiping to Yedu. Normally, he never disturbed Ge Xuan, only when he encountered difficulties, he would go over to ask for advice with the book in his hand.

Now when encountering Ma Teng's incident, Bai Xiaowen, a fake Taoist priest, would never dare to diagnose and treat him. He doesn't have the ability.

However, Ge Xuan was different, he was from a major (crossed out), a direct disciple of Zuo Ci, and a Daoist monk with upright Miaohong roots.

When Ge Xuan went to Guanyi to check on Ma Teng's condition, Bai Xiaowen also received the Xiliang envoy team.

It is worth mentioning that he saw acquaintances inside.

Camille Rockefeller, a big girl from the United States, actually cut in as Han Qi, the daughter of Han Sui, the prefect of Xiliang! Her two teammates, Monica is a maidservant, and Lulock is a servant.

However, Camille has not been idle for a month in Xiliang. First, he wiped out a well-known bandit in the territory, and got the approval of the cheap daddy Han Sui. He officially became a female general; , became Camille's subordinate.

At this time, Camille has the ability to find Bai Xiaowen. However, because both Yuan Xi and Cao Xiong showed completely different strengths from those in the Romance, Camille didn't know which one was Bai Xiaowen, so she waited and watched temporarily, and continued to increase her weight in the Xiliang Army by the way.

It's a smart decision.

Later, in the process of attacking Chang'an, Camille's trio performed well and made great contributions to breaking through the city gate, further improving their reputation in the Xiliang army.

Afterwards, "Yuan Xi" attacked the Cao family and unified the north; Cao Xiong was nowhere to be found.

At this point, Camille looked at the thirty or forty days of free exploration time on her "account", why didn't she understand? So, taking this opportunity to escort Ma Teng, come over in person and meet Bai Xiaowen!
