The death of Ma Teng does not mean that the Ma family is destroyed in Xiliang.

In fact, although Ma Teng was dead, he had a son, a son who was stronger than his favorite young son Ma Tie.

The eldest son of the wife, Ma Chao!

Liu Chuang and Ma Chao have been separated in Xu, and it has been three years since they were separated.

However, for three years, the relationship between the two has never been interrupted. Even when Liu Chuang was in the most difficult time, he still maintained contact with Ma Chao. Since Liu Chuang suggested that Ma Chao set up his own business, Ma Chao really went his separate ways with Ma Teng according to Liu Chuang's suggestion.

He did not ask Ma Teng for one soldier or another, but only took three thousand Xiliang soldiers from his headquarters and left Wuwei.

Ma Chao's division is the wealth left to him by his mother.

His mother was from Qiang, and she was also the daughter of a Qiang King. Ma Teng didn't like Ma Chao, but his grandfather loved him very much. After Ma Chao's mother passed away, Ma Chao's grandfather transferred eight hundred Qiang soldiers to Ma Chao. These eight hundred Qiang soldiers were also Ma Chao's direct descendants. They followed Ma Chao to fight in Xiliang and made a lot of effort to establish the reputation of "Jin Ma Chao".

Later, Ma Chao's grandfather's tribe was attacked by Shaodang Lao Qiang.

Although Ma Teng was busy fighting in Guanzhong at that time, he had the spare time to rescue him... However, Ma Teng chose to stand by and watch. There are many reasons! But the most important one is that Lao Qiang and Han Sui had a close relationship. Ma Teng didn't want to become enemies with his sworn brothers because of a Qiang tribe with only more than 10,000 people. Of course, he didn't really stand Ma Chao's grandfather.

In short, Ma Chao's grandfather's tribe was eventually destroyed by the burnt dang Lao Qiang. Ma Chao's grandfather died of the burnt dang Xiao Wang Ke's hands.

Ma Chao was furious at the time and wanted to avenge his grandfather, but was stopped by Ma Teng.

In desperation, he had to give up, but in secret, he tried hard to protect his former grandfather's tribe.

He and Ma Teng split up, immediately gathered his grandfather's tribe members, gathered up three thousand Western Liang soldiers, and then entered the Western Regions...

After two years, Ma Chao fought along the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. He destroyed the six kingdoms of Yizhi, Pulei, Beilu, Dongqimi, and the front and rear Cheshi, and captured the Wuji School City, successfully gaining a foothold in Xiliang. Of course, Ma Chao was able to sweep the Western Regions like a destruction, and Liu Chuang also handled it behind him. The Mi family started to open the trade route to the Western Regions for five years since Jian'an, providing Ma Chao with a large amount of supplies.

Although Ma Teng was killed, Ma Chao was still there.

Now he occupied the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, annexed the six countries in the Western Regions, and had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, which was well-known.

Even in the Wuwei of Western Liang, Zhangye and Zhangye vassal states, Ma Chao also enjoyed a lofty prestige. Especially among the Qiang people, Ma Chao's prestige was unparalleled. Even Ma Teng could not be replaced. Especially as Ma Chao stood firm in the Western Regions, countless Qiang people went to join. Among them, Xiu Tu tribes, and even migrated from their clans, settled in Pulehai, and swore allegiance to Ma Chao.

The population of tribes is only 50,000.

I remember that the Qiang tribe that had always been extremely fierce back then had a powerful force in Liangzhou.

Unfortunately, he was attacked by the Taiwei Duan Wei, and the various tribes of Xiu Tu quickly declined and retreated to Xiu Tu Ze, becoming less powerful.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling of Han passed away and the court was in chaos.

Dong Zhuo led his troops to Luoyang, and Xiu Tu followed everyone...

At that time, there was a saying that there were six elite soldiers in the world, including five places including Bingzhou, Youzhou, Danyang, Qingzhou, etc. The only elite soldiers of the alien race were Tu Yi Qi. Tu Yi Qi Qi Qi was selected from Xiu Tu Yi Qi.

Dong Zhuo formed the Feixiong Army by slaughtering various elite cavalry and was the best in the world.

Ma Chao got the entire Xiutu tribes, and his strength naturally increased greatly, and he became the overlord of the Western Regions independent of Ma Teng.

Not afraid of Ma Teng being killed, and Ma Chao!

Xu Shu said: "Ma Meng rose and ran rampant in the Western Regions, and the thirty-six countries dare not touch their edge.

Now he dominated the Tianshan Mountains and has achieved a climate. His relationship with his lord is very close and he has a brotherly relationship. If he can invite Ma Chao to return to Xiliang, Han Sui is not worth worrying... He can summon Ma Teng's old subordinates in the shortest time to stabilize the situation in Xiliang. As long as he erects the Ma family's banner, Cao Cao will not be at ease, and the lord will be able to avoid some pressure at that time."

After hearing this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Xu Shu made a very reasonable statement. He knew his own affairs. Liu Chuang did not have that powerful force yet, and he also independently competed with Ma Chao's attack.

"What Yuan Zhi said makes a lot of sense."

Zhuge Liang listened on the side and pondered: "It's just that there are so many vulgar people in the Western Regions. Ma Mengqi can rise to Xiliang, but it may not be the opponent of Han Jiuqu and Cao Cao. What's more, his brother and uncle are not ordinary people. His ability to convince Han Sui and Ma Teng to rebel is enough to show his extraordinaryness... Just Ma Mengqi can't fight against Zhong Han's allied forces, and his brother will also send someone to help."

Liu Chuang was stunned and nodded immediately.

Zhuge Liang's words were not aimless, and what he said made some sense.

Ma Chao is indeed not a match for Cao Cao... What's more, in addition to Han Sui and Zhong Yao, there is also Wei Ji, who is born as the leader of the Wei clan. This guy is not an ordinary person. Ma Chao's bravery is certainly reassuring, but his mind cannot match these three people.

"Kong Ming thought, who should I send to help?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, "Although his brother and Ma Chao were brothers, Ma Chao dominated the Tianshan Mountains and rose to the Western Regions, he was naturally arrogant and arrogant.

Therefore, the elder brother needs to send someone over there, and only those who are brave and resourceful can do so.

Liang thought that he could send a Wen and a Wu to Xiliang to help Ma Chao fight Cao Cao... Wu should compete with Ma Chao, and Wenke should be able to plan for him. As long as the general can compete with Ma Chao, I believe he will be convinced. This is also an opportunity for his brother to show his strength."

Wu, can you fight against Ma Chao?

Liu Chuang couldn't help but frowned, but was a little embarrassed.

Who is Ma Chao?

One, two, two, three, Dianwei, four, five, four, six, Zhang Fei... Ma Chao is among the Three Kingdoms, and his force is definitely the best.

Even under Liu Chuang, there are not many people who can suppress Ma Chao. Liu Chuang is one, Lu Bu is already disabled and it is difficult to fight against Ma Chao. The rest are only Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun who can barely suppress Ma Chao. Huang Zhong? That old man is an extremely proud person. Ma Chao is also rebellious. These two people must not stay together, otherwise they will have to fight and become more difficult to deal with.

After all the calculations, it seems that Zhao Yun is the most suitable.

Liu Chuang thought about it and looked up at Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.

But seeing both of them smiled confidently, they couldn't help but say, "I have a suitable candidate in my heart, but I don't know..."

"Brother, don't rush to say it. It's better to guess it. Let's see if you think the same."

Liu Chuang agreed happily, and the three of them picked up their pens and wrote a name on the palm of their hands, and then looked at me, and looked at you, and stretched out their hands at the same time. Liu Chuang's palm had the words "Zilong"; Xu Shu's palm had the words "General Zhao"; Zhuge Liang's simplest writing was only the word "Zhao". After reading it, the three of them laughed out loud, and it turned out that the heroes saw the same thing.

Zhao Yun is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and is low-key and humble.

In terms of force, he is definitely the best under Liu Chuang's tent; in terms of status, he is Liu Chuang's brother-in-law and is also extremely noble.

But Liu Chuang had never heard of Zhao Yun being domineering and arrogant. He was very gentle and would rarely get angry if he didn't anger him.

Although Zhao Yun is very proud at heart, he never shows it on his face.

Only Zhao Yun can live in peace with Ma Chao.

For some reason, a name suddenly flashed through Liu Chuang's mind: Ma Wenlu!

This Ma Wenlu is Ma Chao's sister and Zhao Yun's wife in many unofficial histories in later generations.

Zhao Yun is nearly thirty years old, but he has not married yet. Especially after Zhao Yan married Liu Chuang, many people have introduced women to Zhao Yun, among which they are not a lady. Even the Zhen family intends to introduce the fourth daughter Zhen Rong to Zhao Yun, even if they regretted the original marriage. However, Zhao Yun did not agree, and did not care much about this matter, which made many people confused and even a little suspicious...

Maybe, it’s really not fate.

Zhao Yun's true life queen has not appeared yet, so Zhao Yun has not moved.

Liu Chuang thought, would it be possible to let Zhao Yun meet Ma Wenlu in advance, which might really lead to a marriage, or even a good story.

Of course, it is impossible to say this.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang asked again: "It's best for Zilong to go to Xiliang, but who should the planner send?"

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu looked at each other, and Xu Shu stood up and bowed, "Shu is willing to go to Xiliang... However, Shu still needs to ask for one help, and that is the brothers of Kong Ming, Zhuge Jun and Zhuge Ziheng. With his help and Zhao Ma's bravery, he will definitely be able to fight against Cao Cao in Xiliang."

"Yuan Zhi wants to go to Xiliang?"

After hearing this, Liu Chuang was stunned and looked at Xu Shu in surprise.

"What should I do, Cai?"

Xu Shu's expectation that Liu Chuang would say something suddenly, and his face turned red.

He and Cai Wenji were indeed quite in love... but both sides were worried, so they did not make the matter clear.

Now that Liu Chuang said it, Xu Shu was at a loss.

After a while, he whispered: “It is because of Zhaoji that I decided to go to Xiliang.

The Wei family has a prominent position in Hedong and is well-known. If I don’t make any achievements, how can I suppress the Wei family?”

Liu Chuang narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Zhuge Liang said, "Ziheng is indeed talented, but he is young after all.

He went with Yuanzhi, because he was more of a training, but he could not take too much responsibility... Speaking of Cai, I would rather recommend someone to go with Yuanzhi to Xiliang. But I wonder if my brother still remembers that Kong Wenju once recommended a person named Yangzilu to you?

Zilu is steady and capable, and can be both literary and military.

Besides, he is also Cai’s brother-in-law, and one of the few relatives in the world today… Yuan Zhi might as well cooperate with him, not only can he get help, but he may also gain some different results. With his four people assisting Ma Chao, he will definitely stir up the turmoil in Liangzhou.”

Xu Shu's face turned redder.

However, this time he did not retreat anymore, but instead raised his chest and said, "If Zilu helps, he will definitely help Ma Chao seize Chang'an!" (To be continued...)
