Ma Yunlu!

Ma Dai looked stunned, but he didn't expect that his elder brother would suddenly mention the young sister who had been captured for a long time at this critical moment.

After being stunned, Ma Dai had to say, "My fool is afraid that the night will be long and dreams will be too long, so she left in a hurry and didn't have time to visit her younger sister. However, I heard that her younger sister has been led by Emperor Wei in the army, and she has delicious food and drink, so she treats her younger sister with courtesy."

When Ma Chao heard that his sister was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief, his frowning brows loosened, and something seemed to be brewing between his eyebrows.

After a little pondering, Ma Chao said, "Ziyue, you can go and convey your intention to be a brother to the Emperor of Wei. I, Ma Chao, can lead the Ma clan to submit to him, or you can go through fire and water for him, and you will never refuse, but he has to promise me a condition."

condition?

Ma Dai's brows slightly condensed and asked, "What conditions should my brother give to Emperor Wei?"

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Ma Chao said solemnly: "My conditions are very simple. As long as the Emperor of Wei can confer Yunlu as his concubine, I will agree to open the city to surrender. Otherwise, I, Ma Chao, would rather burn both jade and stone than bend my knees to him."

Ma Dai's body was shocked and he was stunned for a moment. His unexpected and surprised expression obviously did not expect that his elder brother would propose such a condition.

He originally thought that Ma Chao would ask the pottery merchant for official titles, or the next iron coupon for the pill book, to ensure that he would not make any promises such as settlement in the fall.

However, he did not expect that Ma Chao did not care or make any promise of exemption from crime, so he actually asked Tao Shang to sign their sister Ma Yunlu as his concubine.

The left and right Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were also stunned, not understanding Ma Chao's intention.

"I believe that the Lord of Wei has an extraordinary demeanor, and I also believe that he really wants to surrender my Ma clan, but the so-called heavenly heart is unpredictable. If the world is peaceful in the future, when Ma is released on the Nanshan Mountain, the Emperor of Wei may not have changed. If he thought of us as ministers of Qin in the past, and if we wanted to settle the score against our Ma clan in the future, would we still have any room for resistance?"

Ma Chao's earnest words expressed his concerns.

After hearing his explanation, the three brothers Ma Dai all looked moved and suddenly realized.

They understood that their brothers were worried that the imperial edict of Emperor Wei would be unpredictable and that their attitude towards the Ma family would change in the future, so they insisted that Emperor Wei would take their sister as their concubine. In this way, their Ma family would become a royal relative in one fell swoop.

Since the Ma family has become a relative of the emperor, even if the holy heart changes in the future and remembers the old resentment, when they want to attack the Ma family, they may also be concerned about the relationship between relatives.

If their younger sister can be more angry and give birth to a prince for the emperor, then Ma Yunlu's status in the palace will be more stable. Ma Yunlu's status will be stable, and then their Ma family's status will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. There is no need to worry all day long, worried about being settled in the future.

"Brother's proposal is very good." Ma Dai nodded in agreement, "I heard from the people in Weiying that His Majesty has always been good to my younger sister. Maybe he can really agree to the conditions offered by my elder brother."

Ma Tie said, "If this is the best, it will be the best. I am afraid that our little sister is very stubborn, and I am afraid that she will not agree."

"That's right, I'm really afraid of my younger sister's temper..." Ma Dai became worried again.

Ma Chao shook his hand and said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the survival of my Ma family. She can't help but act like a person. If Ziyue and little sister don't agree, you have to persuade her and agree. It depends on you."

Ma Dai had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, I can only do my best."

The plan was decided, and Ma Yue did not dare to stay for too long. After resting for a night, the next day, he left Loufan City with the conditions offered by Ma Chao and went to the Wei army camp.

...

The Wei army camp, the imperial tent.

The next day at dawn, the Tao merchant was listening to the war reports about Jizhou, and the Imperial Guard reported that Ma Dai had left and was looking for a meeting outside.

"I came back so quickly, could it be that Ma Chao was convinced by him so happy..." Tao Shang was a little disbelief and sent Ma Dai in with his hand.

After a while, Ma Dai stepped in, fell to Tao Shang's mouth, and bowed and said, "I am fortunate to be unfair. I have convinced my brother to open the city and surrender, surrender to the Great Wei, and go through fire and water for His Majesty, and do nothing more."

Tao Shang was excited, his eyes were filled with joy and surprise, and he brushed his hand to signal Ma Daiping, "Ma Mengqi is so clear about the righteousness and surrenders so quickly. This really surprised me."

Ma Dai stood up, coughed a few times, but a bitterness rose from the corner of his mouth, "Report to Your Majesty, your brother really wants to surrender to Your Majesty, but he also made a small request, and I hope Your Majesty can be approved."

really……

Tao Shang sneered secretly, and he knew that Ma Chao was born with a proud personality and was not so easy to surrender, so he brushed his hands and said, "Tell me, let me tell you what conditions have you asked me? As long as I don't violate my bottom line, I will agree to him."

"That's right, ahem-"

Ma Dai seemed a little difficult to speak, and he shook for a while, and then said with a little embarrassed expression: "My brother said that the sister had been captured by His Majesty for a long time. There were already many rumors outside that would damage the reputation of my younger sister. Therefore, my brother had planned for his younger sister's reputation and wanted to ask His Majesty to take his younger sister Yunlu as his concubine. Then my brother and my Ma clan must sacrifice his life for His Majesty and refuse to refuse."

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials of the Wei Dynasty present were all surprised, and even the pottery merchant was surprised and quite surprised.

Obviously, the Tao Shang and the ministers thought that Ma Chao would want to be appointed as the official Xu Jue, but he did not expect that Ma Chao would not want anything and insisted on giving the girl to Tao Shang as his concubine.

"It's fine if I surrender and I will serve me, but I have to take the initiative to give the girl to my concubine. Ma Chao, what's the situation? Are you giving it to me and giving it to my sister again? You are so generous..."

Tao Shang was secretly feeling strange and glanced at Zhang Liang, but saw him shaking his feather fan lightly, squinting his eyes, and smiling meaningfully.

Seeing Zhang Liang's smile, Tao Shang's thoughts changed, and suddenly realized it and understood Ma Chao's intention.

Tao Shang couldn't help but smile and thought to himself: "Ma Chao, Ma Chao, it seems that you are much smarter than ordinary generals. You are afraid that I will settle the score later, so you have to get yourself a gold medal to avoid death..."

Although he saw through Ma Chao's intention, he was not at all unhappy. On the contrary, Ma Chao's condition made the pottery merchant secretly happy.

The reason is very simple, and this condition is exactly what he wants.

For Ma Yunlu, Tao Shang not only liked her beauty, but also admired her lioness-like character. Most importantly, he was determined to win the added value of her marriage force.

It is precisely because of this that even if Ma Chao doesn't mention this condition, he will sooner or later marry Ma Yunlu and take him as his concubine.

What the Tao merchant is worried about now is that Ma Yunlu's little lioness is too strong and is far more difficult to tame than Zhu Rong and others. When he was having a headache, Ma Chao took the initiative to propose this marriage, which was equivalent to helping the Tao merchant solve this problem.

It would be strange if the pottery was able to win the beauty, get the additional military power value of the marriage, and get the surrender of Ma Chao, a hundred generals and the Ma clan. Such a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone would be strange if the pottery merchant didn't secretly enjoy it.

Thinking of this, the Tao Shang did not hesitate much and said happily: "As long as your Ma clan is willing to surrender to the Great Wei, so what if I accept the Lingmei as my concubine? I agree to this condition."

"Thank you for your grace." Ma Dai was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to his gratitude, but said, "But my brother has a small request. If Your Majesty can be outside Loufan City, the ceremony of enthronement will be performed in this camp, and the sister of the Shen is the concubine to demonstrate Your Majesty's kindness, my brother will be able to better convince those who are worried in the army and will be able to open the city and submit to you faster and smoother."

This Ma Chao is really impatient...

Tao Shang was laughing secretly. He knew that Ma Chao was afraid that he would not keep his word, so he wanted to take his sister first and ensure that he would surrender the city after he was foolproof.

Ma Chao did this even more to the Tao Merchant's wish. He was eager to obtain the additional military power value of Ma Yunlu immediately.

"Okay, I agree to this request. I will first take Yunlu as my concubine before he can leave the city and surrender." Tao Shang waved his hand and agreed happily.

Ma Dai never expected that the pottery promised so happily. He was surprised and happy. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, thanking the pottery.

After finalizing the conditions for surrender, the pottery remembered that the most critical link of the whole thing had not been completed:

Ma Yunlu's attitude.

It’s useless for Ma Chao to be willing, and it’s useless for him to agree. Ma Yunlu must be willing to be adopted as his concubine so that he can obtain the additional force value on her. Otherwise, even if she is forced to nod and agree, but she is unwilling to do so, it’s useless.

Thinking of this, Tao Shang said: "But there is another saying that before, I have never been a person who is forced to do anything. I will not ignore Ling's sister's wishes and force her to be a concubine just because Ling's brother is willing. In the final analysis, she must be willing to do this."

"Well..." Ma Dai also came back from his surprise, calmed his emotions and bowed: "She has a strong temper. Even if it is the eldest brother, she dares not listen to it sometimes. However, she has always respected me, my cousin. If you can listen, you will listen to a few words. I am willing to persuade her, and I will ask Your Majesty to be kind."

Tao Shang nodded and said in a solemn tone: "Then you go and persuade her. The survival of your Ma family depends on how much weight your brother says in her heart."

Tao Shang's words meant that if Ma Dai persuaded Ma Yunlu, he would stop. If he refused to persuade him and Ma Chao refused to open the city to surrender, he would order the army to razed Loufancheng and his Ma family to pacify him.

"I will do my best to convince my younger sister." Ma Dai shivered secretly on his back, and hurriedly bowed his hand to leave.

The Tao merchant brushed his hand and ordered his left and right to take him to see Ma Yunlu.

Ma Dai retreated and left the imperial tent. When the morning breeze blew, he couldn't help but tremble for a moment. He realized that the undercurrent of murderous intent of the pottery just now made him quietly soak in a layer of cold sweat.

"How to convince the younger sister? Her strong and stubborn personality is really hard to persuade..." Ma Dai went all the way to Ma Yunlu's big tent, frowned all the way, thinking about the words of persuasion.

A moment later, he came to the large tent guarded by a group of female soldiers. The imperial guards explained their purpose to the female soldiers, and they gave in.

"Little sister, my Ma clan's life and death are all in your hands. I hope you don't be so stubborn..."
