A leisurely city for solo travelers

Chapter 275
When a force declares its demise, different people will make different choices.

When the later master Liu Chan surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, the Zhuge clan chose to kill themselves to live up to their reputation in the world.

Guan Yu was besieged by Cao's army and was forced to surrender to Cao. However, after passing five passes and beheading six generals, he became a model of loyalty.

Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, heard that Zhao Yun was coming, so he opened the city and surrendered.

When the power is destroyed, the old general is nothing more than death, and there are two ways to go, either to surrender as loyal as Guan Yu, or to die as miserable as Lu Bu.

For the Ma family army, the demise of power did not happen overnight, but was eroded bit by bit. From the loss of Hanzhong to the destruction of Tianshui, and then to the fall of Anding, this step by step was gradual and slowly eroded.

Until the last wolf rider in Xiliang fell down, every general was very calm, as if a terminally ill patient had finally waited for that day.

Old Ma Teng experienced failure in two lives and felt like he died twice.

He looked at the victorious King Zhu Rong under the city, and there was no disturbance in his heart.

"Mentors, it's my problem. I'm sorry." Ma Teng coughed and said with a dry smile, "Thank you for sticking with me for so long. If you want to surrender, let's surrender. I, Ma Teng, don't have the talent to fight for world domination."

After saying that, he will draw his sword and kill himself.

"Father!" Ma Teng drew his sword slowly, and said good things in advance to give everyone sufficient psychological preparation. Of course, Ma Chao can stop him now.

Ma Chao persuaded: "Father, it's just surrender, it's not that scary! Didn't my brother and I have a good life in the last life?"

"..."

Ma Dai was clearly prepared, he exchanged a glance with his elder brother, stepped forward and said, "People say that King Rong is kind, even someone like Zhong Hui can tolerate him, let alone our father and son, brother and sister?"

"Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!" Ma Teng seemed to be quite staunch, "I think back then, when my father was besieged by Cao thieves, I fought to the last moment, and now..."

"Yes, father, our biggest enemy is Cao Cao!" Ma Chao saw the opportunity and continued to persuade, "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Although the unification of the world has come to nothing, there is still a chance to kill Cao Cao's thieves!"

The southern barbarian generals below the city looked at each other in confusion when they saw the Ma family singing and singing.

"This play is too fake..." Even the hypocritical brother-in-law couldn't stand it anymore.

Old Ma Teng seems to be more pedantic than Liu Yan, he has a good face, he is unwilling to die, and feels ashamed to surrender directly.

But this is not easy to point out, it is necessary to create conditions for all kinds of talents to surrender to the Nanman.

Zhu Rong Wang Langran said: "The head of the Sima family has been promised to Deng Ai by the king. In this case, the head of the Cao family should be promised to you Ma family father and son."

Ma Chao was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Father, don't you want to kill Cao thief with your own hands? Chao and Dai didn't have this chance under Liu Bei back then!"

"I've handed over Cao Bandit to you two brothers! Our army is destroyed, and my father's duty is unshirkable, so let's go!" Ma Teng seemed to refuse to be persuaded, and wanted to kill himself again.

The brother-in-law cursed secretly: "It's disgusting, it's even more disgusting than Liu Bei pushing the throne."

Seeing this, Hua Junshi had no choice but to follow suit.

"The Ma family, you can either surrender or die. If General Ma Teng kills himself, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others will definitely hate me, Nanman. With these two lives, I, Nanman, will not dare to keep them."

"Oh?" Ma Teng's eyes lit up, and he finally found the reason why he had to surrender. He was indeed the military advisor who had played a trick on Li Ru.

Ma Chao also pushed the boat along the way: "Father! If you die, our brothers and sister Yunlu can only die with you!"

"No!" Ma Teng's expression suddenly became tense, very determined, "You children are still burdened with the great cause of killing the Cao thief, how can you go to the underworld with your father?"

After saying that, he stared at King Zhu Rong under the city.

"What my father said is true." Ma Chao lamented, "For the great cause of revenge, for the sake of our younger generations, my father can only endure humiliation and live a life of suffering in the world!"

"If I don't go to hell, whoever will go to hell!" Ma Teng sighed sadly, "Since that's the case, for the sake of you guys, my father has descended... hey..."

He hit the city with his fist, feeling helpless.

The Nanman army just entered the city. Although Ma Teng was leveled step by step, the Nanman army still suffered a lot of losses. It was only thanks to the successive reinforcements that they won the protracted battle.

But the days to come will be easier. Now there are ten cities with power, and the territory dominates two states. Among them, there are three castles and four strongholds, which have great advantages for the joint army. There are also three purely internal affairs cities that produce resources. In the future, whether it is a blitzkrieg or a protracted war, the Nanban will be fearless.

Since this scene had been expected for a long time, the previous battles between the two sides were actually peaceful. There were no casualties, no enmity, and everything else was fine.

In the city, Ma Teng led the generals to proclaim themselves ministers.

King Zhu Rong nodded his head, raised Ma Teng up symbolically, said a few words politely, and then turned around and said, "Sister, please make arrangements, I will reorganize the troops."

The generals in Xiliang were slightly startled, they said Zhu Rong Wang was brave, and the woman behind her was even more resourceful than bottomless.

From this point of view, King Zhu Rong's trust in Hua Junshi is too exaggerated, even comparable to Liu Bei's trust in Zhuge Liang. Isn't she afraid of power and bullying?

Master Hua glanced at the generals, and brought his brother-in-law to discuss something secretly.

The crowd was surprised again.

This little brother-in-law is not simple, even Hua Junshi has to consult his opinion.

Is it because of his superior resourcefulness, or because of his blood relationship, because of face, the military adviser wants to give him face?

"Che...he's just a brother-in-law." There was such a spitting sound from the crowd.

The brother-in-law's face twitched, but he still held back the attack. If he arrogantly relied on a winning mentality at this time, it would actually ruin his reputation even more.

This thought raised his IQ to 39.

"That's okay...it's even more effective than melatonin."

Afterwards, the two had a brief discussion, and Junshi Hua went to the conference hall to study the latest situation, and the final appointment and dismissal was announced by his brother-in-law.

Fang Xian glanced at each of the generals, except for the three fathers and sons of the Ma family, most of them lowered their heads, looking very ashamed.

Wait, there's a woman in the corner with something black all over her face!
"Who is that?" Fang Xian asked, pointing at her.

Ma Teng panicked and said repeatedly: "My little girl Ma Yunlu is extremely ugly. It would be best if the general doesn't look at him less, so as not to dampen the general's interest..."

"Oh?!" Fang Xianhu stared at Sister Yunlu with wide eyes.

Apart from a few tough female compatriots from Nanban, this is the No.1 woman he has seen in this world.He finally understood why Liu Bei was so interested in men.

Although this woman doesn't look at Fang Xian, her brows are full of madness like Ma Chao, or arrogance.

Ma Teng saw Meng You lose his temper, and after thinking about it in his heart, he hurried over and patted him.

"General Meng... my daughter is only 16 years old, and it's time to get married. I'm afraid that some southern barbarian will take a fancy to her and give birth to evil flames, so she smears her face with ashes. I hope General Meng will take no notice of it."

The brother-in-law smiled and said, "Oh? Are you saying that I am a savage Nanman?"

"Don't dare, dare not. When I saw General Meng today, he was suave and charming, and he used soldiers like a god while talking and laughing. How can he be a reckless man? The demeanor of the Central Plains University Scholars is not as good as General Meng!"

The brother-in-law looked at old Ma Teng approvingly. He changed roles quite quickly. Knowing that he had spoken nicely to the powerful officials, he said politely.

"General Ma has won the award. In terms of appearance, Meng You is indeed a bit rough."

Ma Teng shook his head again and again, and sincerely pointed at the place he didn't want to: "The general is modest. Compared with that one, General Meng has the demeanor of a Confucian from an aristocratic family."

Fang Xian looked along his fingers.

Daerba was holding his booger and weaving rattan armor.

He takes it for granted.

If Nanman is really barbaric, the Ma family really has no temper... After all, there is a lesson from Cai Wenji.

"This is, in troubled times, girls should be careful." He thought for a while, then frowned, "But as far as I know, Ma Yunlu is a fictional character, right? Why is General Ma so protective?"

Like Huabin, Ma Yunlu is a fictional character created to enrich the position of women in the Three Kingdoms. That is to say, it is only when Ma Yunlu arrives here that he has a daughter.

Seeing this, Ma Teng sighed: "That's true, to tell you the truth, General Meng, although I have no feelings for my daughter, after all, her surname is Ma, and her temperament is very similar to that of Chao'er when she was a child, which made me feel really bad." Some like it. Previously, I planned to let this daughter marry other forces according to the situation of the war, but she has already invested in the king's tent, so this move is unnecessary."

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and whispered into his brother-in-law's ear: "General Meng, if you like, you can take care of my daughter."

"Oh?!" The brother-in-law was shocked, and looked at Sister Yunlu, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Seeing that he was entranced, Ma Teng struck while the iron was hot: "I just ask General Meng to say a few kind words in the future and give my two sons more opportunities to make contributions. Especially when there is a war with Cao Cao, please be sure to let my Ma family army participate in the war."

Only then did Fang Xian realize that this was what the old horse was planning.

"Don't worry about this, the Ma family will be brave, and will definitely go up when fighting Cao Cao, as for sister Yunlu..." After hesitating, he still shook his head, "For the time being, I want to focus on my career and not talk about my girlfriend. "

Ma Teng held his breath in his chest and almost spit it out, how hypocritical this person is to say such a thing.

"I wonder if General Ma knows about Deng Zhong?"

"Deng Zhong? Deng Ai's son?"

"Well, Little General Deng is a talented person, and he must be the mainstay of my Nanban in the future. In my opinion, if Sister Yunlu can be with Deng Zhong, it will be a good destination for both of them, or for both of them."

Ma Teng thought about it for a moment and felt that this brother-in-law was mentally retarded.

Majiahe and Deng's family are all very famous, and they are all under Zhu Rong's account now.

Marriage between powerful ministers, is this taboo?
My brother-in-law naturally saw Ma Teng's calculations, so he smiled again: "General Ma, don't worry too much. Your Majesty does not shy away from forming gangs. This is just for the sake of heroes and beauties, so that everyone can serve your Majesty well. If General Ma has no objection, I will So I went to advise the king and asked her to agree to this marriage, and General Deng will definitely show the favor of the king, and also the favor of you and me."

Ma Teng thought about it for a while, and this brother-in-law was really not simple.

If the king allows this marriage, naturally there will be no scruples.

At the same time, the relationship between the Ma family and the Deng family will become closer.

Brother-in-law, as the threader, will be loved by both families.

This little brother-in-law manages like this, I don't know why...

At this moment, my brother-in-law also had a hint of evil in his eyes, and he said softly: "General Ma, don't worry, I am loyal to your Majesty, but I am just a little dissatisfied with some of Military Advisor Hua's strategies."
