The possible harms that these Ma family troops who recruited Ma Chao would bring were not mentioned for now. The most important thing is that they planned to recruit Ma family troops might just be wishful thinking! According to Cao Cao, Ma Teng and Ma Chao were also extremely ambitious. They were not the kind of people who easily convinced others. Although their power was more powerful than their Ma family troops, they could not steal too much. (How could they willingly surrender to themselves? If they really surrender, they would only surrender to someone like Liu Bin who was unparalleled in strength and who was so convinced that they could convince them!

Even if they had to surrender to themselves due to the situation, they would not be willing to surrender! Moreover, this time they sent troops to attack Bingzhou, they took Ma Teng's life and secretly threatened them to send troops! Even if she surrendered to herself now, she was very resentful to herself! Even if these issues were not considered for the time being. The reason why Ma Chao and the others surrendered to themselves was because their retreat had been cut off by Li Ru, and they had to surrender to themselves. Moreover, this time Ma Chao sent troops to attack Bingzhou, but the result was that Li Ru's

The reason is that the soldiers were damaged and the generals were lost. They must have hated the Western Liang army to the core! And after he surrendered Ma Chao and others, he could not get in with Li Ru. Li Ru went crazy and made the truth public, he would definitely be a lot of trouble for himself! The Western Liang army occupied favorable terrain, and with its current strength, it would be difficult for him to break through the Western Liang army. However, if he did not fight with the Western Liang army, Ma Chao and others would be angry and cause riots. Sending troops to deal with the Western Liang army would affect the overall plan. If he did not send troops, it would cause internal riots!

In short, the Ma family army was incorporated. Although it could add tens of thousands of cavalry troops, it would be even more harmful to him! Therefore, it would be a bit more costly to recruit the Ma family army! Now his main enemy is Liu Bin from Youzhou. This guy has so many troops, but he has been hiding the world. It seems that his goal is quite big! Now he is the main one to unite the Xiliang army and resist the southward movement of the Youzhou army. At this time, he cannot break up with the Xiliang army! Thinking of this, Cao Cao finally made up his mind! So he ordered: "Ma Teng and his son rebelled, kill Ma Teng and sacrificed the flag. Send troops to annihilate Ma Chao!"

On the other hand, after Li Ru wrote a letter to Cao Cao, he began to wait for the Ma family army at Hangu Pass! After Ma Chao let him go, he admired the Youzhou army very much. At the same time, he was very resentful to Li Ru and Zhang Xun! If they hadn't joined forces and targeted him, how could he end up like this! So he must avenge this! He must kill two bastards Li Ru and Zhang Xun to vent his hatred! That bastard Zhang Xun must have gone back to Huainan. It's too far from Xiliang, and Ma Chao can't do anything to him yet! But Li Ru is different! The two families are already next to each other, and there are a lot of hatreds. Now that new and old hatreds are combined, how could Ma Chao let Li Ru go!

So he quickly typed and his troops. He rushed to the front of Hangu Pass! Seeing the guards of the Xiliang army on it, Ma Chao was ready to go forward and scold the enemy! But before Ma Chao could speak, Li Ru, who had been waiting for him to arrive, immediately came to the city gate after hearing the soldiers' reports! Seeing Ma Chao appear, Li Ru cried and said in a surprise tone: "General Ma. I'm sorry for you. The protection of the heavens, you finally returned safely. If you have anything to do, I can't sleep or eat!"

Li Ru's attitude made Ma Chao, who was already angry, a little confused about the situation! What's going on? What is Li Ru doing? But thinking about his own experience and the humiliation of his search, Ma Chao still said angrily: "Li Ru! You don't have to pretend here, don't cry for rats, pretend to be compassionate! What you did. Can you make up for with a word of sorry? If you didn't command me randomly, how could my subordinates suffer such heavy losses? If you didn't tell me on purpose and reverse the signal, how could my subordinates fall into a lot of siege? If you didn't care about the overall situation and retreat first, how could we be defeated? Li Ru, if you don't explain it clearly to me today, I will never die with you!"

Although Ma Chao's words sounded very angry, he wanted to stay with Li Ru forever. (_) But Li Ru, a smart man, could hear that Ma Chao's anger had actually weakened a lot! He was a little convinced that he didn't do that on purpose! Otherwise, he wouldn't let himself explain it to him! Haha, that's all, it's convenient for his next plan! So Li Ru said with a sad face: "General Ma! I'm sorry for you! But you can't blame me for this matter! If you want to blame, you can only blame the two wastes under my command!" After saying that, he threw down his two heads from above and continued

He said: "It's these two wastes! They were originally the messengers around me! When I changed the signal, I had already told them both. But these two wastes, because there was no Sichuan University signal for several consecutive days, had forgotten the change of the signal! As a result, when I responded to General Ma's retreat, they actually issued the order to withdraw the troops according to the previous rules! General Ma, I'm sorry for you, so I personally killed these two people and apologized to you!" God knew where Li Ru killed two innocent people, and used their heads to want Ma Chao to apologize!

After hearing this, Ma Chao believed Li Ru's words somewhat. After all, in his opinion, the Western Liang army and the Youzhou army also had deep hatred! The Western Liang army could not help the Youzhou army! But Ma Chao would not let Li Ru go because of this. Even if Li Ru issued the order to retreat at that time, why did they abandon themselves on the battlefield, throw their hard drives, and escape directly from Bingzhou? If this question doesn't make sense, there is no explanation! So Ma Chao said: "Li Ru, don't be polite! If it's just what you said, why don't you retreat by fighting and run back from Bingzhou? Leave tens of thousands of us and let us face the hundreds of thousands of Youzhou army?"

Li Ru found out from Ma Chao's tone that Ma Chao had basically believed in his words, but he still didn't understand some things! That's why he said that. As long as he was fooling him, this guy's resentment towards him would be gone! Thinking of this, Li Ru sighed and said, "Hey! General Ma, this matter is a long story! You also know that our Xiliang army has a deep hatred with Liu Bin's Youzhou army! How could I not want to destroy them! The reason why the entire army retreated was a last resort! Because Zhang Xun suddenly came over and

I said that he received Yuan Shu's order to take the troops back as soon as possible. So he secretly issued an order to retreat with his subordinates! Who knows that one day the order to withdraw the troops, and Zhang Xun's troops ran away all of them! Their movement made my subordinates think they were going to retreat. As a result, one person moved, ten thousand people moved, and the entire army retreated like this. Even the camp was not cleaned up! I was also surrounded by the army and it was only after I stabilized here! I know I'm sorry, General Ma, so I kept asking for your news and waiting for you here!"

When Ma Chao heard Li Ru say this, he thought for a while and felt that what Li Ru said made sense. Although he lost a little awkwardly this time, he really couldn't blame Li Ru! So Ma Chao sighed and said, "Forget it! It's over. I'm not going to say anything anymore! I don't blame you anymore! If you ask your people to open the door and let us go, we will not owe each other in the future!" Li Ru smiled and said, "It's nothing to let you go! But General Ma, are you willing to go back like this?" Ma Chao frowned and said, "What do you mean? Just say whatever you have!"

Li Ru smiled and said, "General Ma, you have suffered a lot of losses this time! I, Li Ru, have a certain responsibility! So I will definitely repay you for this favor! I have been thinking about it these days and finally came up with a solution! Let General Ma send troops this time. It will definitely not be worth the loss! But it is inconvenient to speak here. If General Ma doesn't mind, you can come in and discuss it in the city lord's mansion! Of course, I can go to your military camp to discuss it! I don't know what you think?" Ma Chao thought for a moment. He felt that Li Ru was right, if he was

I just went back like this. That was too unwilling to accept it and too shameless! Moreover, my father was trapped in Xuchang, so I just went back like this. Maybe Cao Cao would harm his father. Maybe I'd like to listen to what Li Ru said first! So Ma Chao said, "Okay! Then I'll go in and listen to what you have to say!" Ma Chao would not think that Li Ru was playing tricks. He believed that Li Ru would not dare to harm him. It would be no big deal to follow him in. With his own ability, it would be no problem to be in the Xiliang army!

When Li Ru saw Ma Chao agree so happily, he couldn't help but feel proud! Ma Chao is so famous, but he didn't expect that he was just a reckless man! It would be too easy to deal with such a person! He could cheat him for the first time, and he would also thank him after cheating him! Li Ru was on the surface and asked someone to set up a banquet and broadband Ma Chao, but he despised Ma Chao in his heart!

After a while, Ma Chao brought a few people to the city lord's mansion. Li Ru toasted, while saying, "General Ma was successful at a young age, dominating Xiliang, and threatening Qiang and Hu. The ten counties of Liangzhou, General Ma was the fourth. It was no less than my general. In terms of money, power, etc., I could not compensate General Ma. However, I heard that before Cao Gong transferred General Ma to the expedition, if General Ma made great contributions in the war, in addition to letting General Ma share Liu Ming's wealth, General Ma's father could also be promoted to the court. Now, we are defeated miserably, and we have no hope of the wealth of Youzhou, but General Ma's father, General Ma Teng, would not be hurt by it?"

Ma Chao is still in his prime, and in the peaceful world, he is the age when a young man is not aware of the taste of sorrow. However, in this chaotic world, he had to end that kind of life and start taking the lead! Especially his father Ma Teng, when Cao Cao summoned the princes from the world to Xuchang to congratulate him on the grounds that the emperor was free from the hostage of traitors and could work diligently, he resolutely went to Xuchang despite his obstruction and Han Sui, Ma Chao had to take the lead in the Ma family army! Ma Chao and his father had been separated for a long time. Therefore, when Li Ru mentioned that Ma Chao was unfavorable to go to the army, it might damage Ma Teng's official position and safety. Ma Chao also had to agree with this and became worried.

Where did Ma Teng do in Cao Cao? Ma Chao had no idea at all. Ma Chao had no idea. Ma Chao had to say randomly: "Governor Li was joking. My father was an official in the court, and he was in the royal salary and was responsible for his duties. How could he be hurt? Besides, our battle situation was not good. That was not a mistake. Even Ma Chao would not be punished for this. How could my father be implicated by me?" Li Ru also had the title of governor in the Western Liang Army, so Ma Chao called him Governor Li! The reason why Ma Chao said this was actually just to comfort himself in his heart!

"Hehe! General Ma, we are not secretly talking. What does the emperor look like when my father-in-law in the hands of my father-in-law? What does he look like now in Cao Cao's hands! The Han Dynasty has declined, how could Cao Cao really take the emperor seriously! Cao Cao just continued to do the act of my father-in-law holding the emperor and ordering the princes. However, Cao Cao's methods are higher. He set up a name and deceived your father over. Your father was an official in the court, and secretly the hostages seized by Cao Cao. You can't even know General Ma until now, right?" Li Ru told the truth without mercy.

How is Ma Teng's condition? How can Ma Chao not understand the psychological aspects? He said he would go back. But now he will not go back once he goes. It is an individual who knows what happened. Moreover, this time Cao Cao asked himself to send troops, but secretly threatened himself with his father's life! Thinking of these things, Ma Chao said upset: "So what? My father has been hostage for loyalty. What if he does this?" Li Ru laughed and said: "As long as you understand Ma, it will be easy to deal with. We are all from Liangzhou, and we are not close to each other, and we are close to each other. I, Li Ru, have caused heavy losses to the general today. I, Li Ru, will repay the favor of the general today." "How can I repay the law?" Ma Chao asked in confusion.

"Now that the war here has been put out, we all have to return to our garrison. However, Cao Cao is still fighting with Liu Bin. I am writing a letter for the general and recommending the general to Cao Cao to help Cao defend Guandu. Cao Cao will definitely be short of troops when he fights against Liu Bin. Cao Cao will definitely be happy if the general arrives. At that time, the general will tell Cao Cao about Cao Cao and his father for many days, thinking about the reunion of family. Cao Cao will feel at ease when he sees the general in his territory and will be completely relieved. When General Ma Teng and the general reunite, you can set off the camp overnight and return here. I will send troops to you here to help you. You can ensure that the general returns to Xiliang safely." Li Ru suggested to Ma Chao calmly.

Ma Chao was a little confused. Why is Li Ru so good? He was so implicated by himself inadvertently and was ready to risk his confrontation with Cao Cao. This is impossible? Even if Li Ru wants to repay his favor, he cannot take such a big risk? For example, his reputation is not consistent with Li Ru's past! Ma Chao hesitated and asked Li Ru: "Why did Governor Li treat me well like this? The things on the battlefield in Bingzhou in the past are not worthy of Governor Li taking such a risk."

Li Ru's face did not change color and his heart was not beating. He admitted: "General Ma, I will not hide it from it! If it is just today's business, it is indeed not worth my risk for the general. But now Liu Bin's strength is too strong, and you have seen it. None of our princes are his opponents! You also know that in the past, our Xiliang army and Liu Bin's Youzhou army had many grudges. Our Xiliang army alone was difficult to fight against the Youzhou army! General Ma was neighboring me and was a powerful Liangzhou. Today I will help General Ma, and the past grudges between you and me will be written off. If my family is in trouble in the future, General Ma will definitely remember it today.

In the relationship between the sun, when I think of the truth that my lips and teeth are cold, I will help my family with all my strength. Moreover, General Ma Tengluo, the father of General Ma, is in Cao Cao's hands, and General Ma is always a sharp knife in Cao Cao's hands. My family is sandwiched between you and the two families. When my family faces Cao Cao, your family is always in the back of my family, which is really like a ray of light on my back. It makes my family unable to sleep or eat at all times. This is not the case now that my family helps you to relieve General Ma's worries. From now on, you and I are in Liangzhou and watch and help each other. Isn't that good! As long as you and I join forces, Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu will all be used by me. Why should we fear others in this world?"

When Ma Chao heard Li Ru say this, his doubts disappeared and he felt that Li Ru's words were reasonable! The poisonous warrior was full of passion. At this moment, Ma Chao said to Li Ru: "This time, if I get the help of Governor Li and save my father, I, Ma Chao, will not forget my feelings today. I will definitely form an alliance with your family and help each other." Originally, Ma Chao would not trust others so easily, especially Li Ru! But this time in Bingzhou, Ma Chao was hit too much. The powerful strength shown by the Youzhou army simply made Ma Chao feel heartbroken! He also has ideals and embraces.

The one who lost the defeat. Now that the Youzhou Army is so powerful, if you want to realize your ideals and ambitions, you can only unite more princes and defeat the powerful Youzhou Army first! And he also knows the grudges between the Xiliang Army and the Youzhou Army. If it weren't for Liu Bin and his Youzhou Army, the Xiliang Army might still be in Luoyang and control the government! There is also the culprit who killed Dong Zhuo, and now it is also in the Youzhou Army, so the Xiliang Army is definitely irreconcilable with the Youzhou Army! Li Ru's words can still be believed!
