Chapter 1557 The female general of Ma Teng's family
Of course, Ma Teng and Han Sui refused to invite Cao Shu together. The two almost started fighting again for whom they welcomed each other.
In the end, Cao Shu thought of a way and asked the two of them to take out the copper coins to guess the coin.
Whoever guesses will ask first.
Ma Teng's luck is obviously better than Han Sui.
Han Sui, who guessed wrong, said to Cao Shuo in annoyance: "I will give in to him this time. I will send someone to pick up the young master tomorrow morning, and I will have someone prepare a banquet tonight."
After saying goodbye to Cao Shuo, Han Sui took the soldiers away.
Accompanied by Ma Teng, Cao Shu walked towards the direction where the Ma family was.
The Ma family camp is located in Huaili.
There were four or five miles away from Huaili, and Cao Shu saw more than a dozen people appearing in front of him.
The first person was actually a girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Unlike ordinary girls, this woman was wearing armor and dressed in a general.
What really attracted Cao Shu was not the girl's outfit, but the two heads she hung next to the war horse.
When the girl saw Ma Teng, she did not avoid it, but led her men to ride over.
"What are you doing?" Ma Teng asked with a blame in his tone.
"Father." The girl bowed: "I just met a few Qiang people who had robbed the Tao. I killed them and took two heads to get a job with my father."
"What's the point of giving?" Ma Teng said angrily: "If you want to learn some female red knitting, you refuse, but you just want to learn to fight outside the boy. Whose woman is like you? It's also very annoying."
The girl lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I also want to share my father's worries."
"Have you seen Mr. Zirong?" Ma Tengheng said with a glance.
He then said to Cao Shu: "Young master, the little girl Ma Yunlu, has been spoiled since she was a child. She doesn't think about how to learn from female workers all day long, but she likes fighting like a man's family."
"General Ma is blessed with his daughter, General Ma." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If I had sisters like a lady, I don't know how happy my father would be."
"Is this true?" After being scolded by Ma Teng, Cao Shu praised her greatly. Ma Yunlu asked with his eyes lit up.
"No rules!" Ma Teng interrupted her and said to her: "I have seen the young master, where is the etiquette?"
Cao Shu praised her in public, and Ma Yunlu was of course happy, and his favor for him instantly became a little more.
She clasped her fists and arched at Cao Shu and said, "Little girl Ma Yunlu, I have seen the young master."
"Miss, don't be too polite." Cao Shu replied, "Miss said to kill several Qiang people just now. I heard that Qiang people are brave. If the lady can kill them, her martial arts will definitely be good."
"Does your master understand martial arts?" Ma Yunlu blinked and asked Cao Shuo.
"Rareless!" Ma Chao shouted, "Young master has been leading troops all year round, and he has always rushed forward. Do you think you understand martial arts?"
Ma Chao is the eldest son of the Ma family and his status at home is second only to his father. Of course, Ma Yunlu dared not contradict him.
She curled her lips, and although she didn't say anything, she showed dissatisfaction on her face.
Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Although I led the army to fight, my martial arts are very ordinary. If I fight with the lady, I'm afraid I'm not the opponent."
"Young Master is too humble." Ma Teng said from the side: "When the young master led the army, we knew the young master's martial arts. In terms of this, the dog boy might be able to go to the three or four hundred and four hundred with the young master."
"I am ashamed to say this, General Ma is afraid to be accused of it." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Meng Qi is a powerful general in Xiliang, and there are few opponents in the world. How could I be his opponent?"
Ma Teng and Ma Chao were inevitably humble again.
In front of his father and elder brother, Ma Yunlu didn't dare to ask anything more.
But when she looked at Cao Shu, her eyes were full of disbelief.
He was born in a white and clean manner, looking like a weak young man. Although his physique was quite strong, he could say that he could fight Ma Chao for 300 rounds, so Ma Yunlu really didn't believe it.
He has always been very confident in martial arts, so Ma Yunlu decided to find an opportunity to ask Cao Shu for some advice to find out his reality.
Entering Huaili, Ma Teng said to Cao Shu: "Young Master, Xiliang is not as good as the Central Plains. Life here is very hard, so don't dislike it."
Compared with the cities in the Central Plains, Huaili is indeed much deserted.
The streets here are full of yellow sand, which looks dirty.
The architecture is also very different from the Central Plains. Most of the houses in the city are made of loess.
"What did General Ma say?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I have never been to Xiliang in the past. I only found out that Xiliang is really a good place. Not to mention the city, just talking about this style, I can't see it in the Central Plains."
"Xiliang is a miserable place." Ma Teng said: "There are water scarce here all year round. Although there are Qiang soldiers in the army, more Qiang people are always against us. Yunlu kills the Qiang people who intercept merchants halfway. If they are not killed, they will only become more rampant."
"Is it not peaceful in Xiliang?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Taiping?" Ma Teng said with a wry smile: "Since Dong Zhuo, most of the Xiliang army has been transferred to the Central Plains, and the Qiang people have been ready to move. Although we have tried our best to wipe out the enemy over the years, we still cannot completely suppress them."
"The Qiang people are ready to move, which is the confidant of the Han Dynasty." Cao Shuo asked Ma Teng: "I wonder why General Ma and General Han have a dispute, so that they are now meeting each other?"
"Han Sui and I each have the same area." Ma Teng said: "There are areas that we have a lot of controversy. Because the Qiang people were in trouble, I sent someone there a few days ago. Unexpectedly, Han Sui said that I had entered his territory."
Before asking Ma Teng, Cao Shu had already guessed that this was the case.
The territory has always been the core of controversy.
Ma Teng and Han Sui have always been very close to each other and have worked together many times in Xiliang, but now they meet each other because they are fighting for their territory.
With a smile, Cao Shu said, "I think it's a big deal. Since there is a dispute in that area, the two generals can sit down and talk and re-define each other's boundaries? Why did they fight?"
"It can't be defined." Ma Teng said: "Who is bigger and who is smaller, and there will be endless competition. How can we define?"
"It is not a solution to continue fighting like this." Cao Shuo said: "The Qiang people are eyeing each other, but they are eager to watch General Ma and General Han fight. When you two have almost wiped out the troops, the Qiang people should take action."
"Young Master means..." Ma Teng was stunned.
"Does General Ma think this is not the case?" Cao Shuo asked.
Ma Teng didn't say anything, just frowned and was speechless.
Cao Shu continued, "What my father was worried about was the Qiang people, but the two generals were on the fire. If no one mediated, they would probably continue to fight. That's why I was sent here."
